Chapter 1177 Knocking on the marrow and sucking the bones
"Misunderstanding?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but glared at Han Du and said, "Did I misunderstand Fang Xiaoru, or did I misunderstand that this matter has something to do with you?"
You are awesome, I wish I could dig into every crack in the ground and still be noticed by you. Han Du lowered his head with a smile, as if he was not asking for trouble.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhu Biao didn't smile playfully with Han Du, but asked with a serious face.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Han Du had no choice but to sigh and said, "Does Your Highness still remember the survivors of the former Song Dynasty on Luzon Island?"
"Remember." Zhu Biao glanced at Han Du and murmured two words. When Han Du and his father talked about the survivors of the former Song Dynasty, Zhu Biao was beside him, so he still had an impression.
Han Du continued: "The survivors of the former Song Dynasty have lived here for more than a hundred years. From the first time they arrived, to establishing a firm foothold, and then to being at the top. When Lai Chen came here, the survivors of the former Song Dynasty had already occupied a large area here.
They hire local people to grow food and mine copper mines for them, just like landlords. But does your Highness know what the survivors of the former Song Dynasty are like when I come here to see them?"
Zhu Biao knew that Han Du had something to say next, but did not speak.
So Han Du continued: "I saw countless natives driving the survivors of the former Song Dynasty into the sea, and even wanted to drown them all alive."
"How could this happen?" Zhu Biao suddenly lost his voice.
Han Du smiled and explained: "This is because the island of Luzon was almost closed before there were no sea ships. There is only so much land and minerals on the entire island. If the survivors of the former Song Dynasty occupy more, then
The local natives will naturally occupy less of them. At first, there were not many natives, and the resources on the island were enough to meet the needs of them and the survivors of the former Song Dynasty. However, as the survivors of the former Song Dynasty used medical skills to treat their illnesses, their life spans were extended.
It increases the chances of their children surviving. As the population increases, resources will become increasingly stretched.
Insufficient resources, naturally some people will deliberately separate the groups and then fight with each other. Does Your Highness think that the survivors of the former Song Dynasty were not good to the local natives at the beginning? They really regarded them as their own.
However, during the encirclement and suppression of the survivors of the former Song Dynasty, those who survived because of the kindness of the survivors of the former Song Dynasty were no softer than other natives in killing the survivors of the former Song Dynasty. In fact, they were even more brutal.
If not, after I led my troops to defeat the natives, those people in the former Song Dynasty would not hate the natives so much. They would just treat them as slaves, that is, they would no longer regard them as human beings, and they would never stand up again."
Although the natives provided a place for the survivors of the former Song Dynasty, the survivors of the former Song Dynasty also repaid the natives. It is clear that
No matter what happens, there are some people among the natives who want to bewitch them and want to drive out all the survivors of the former Song Dynasty at once.
Originally their plan worked, but unfortunately they met Han Du.
After Zhu Biao heard this, he suddenly fell silent. Originally, he just thought these people were pitiful, but pitiful people must be hateful. If these people had not suddenly violently killed people, the survivors of the former Song Dynasty would not have hated them to the core.
.
"But this is not a solution, is it? Are these natives so willing to be beaten into slaves and never be able to turn around again?" Zhu Biao shook his head, feeling that there was something wrong with this approach.
Fang Xiaoru nodded and interjected: "Of course they were not willing to give in. Many natives would jump out to resist from time to time. However, they were all suppressed by the spontaneous organizations of the survivors of the former Song Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty."
"What? The people of the Ming Dynasty also use slaves?" Zhu Biao asked in shock when he heard this.
Fang Xiaoru looked like a matter of course, nodded and said: "Of course, if we have slaves and don't use them, wouldn't it be a waste? Moreover, farming is easy, the people of the Ming Dynasty can do it themselves. But for such a dangerous job as mining, it is better to let slaves do it.
Some."
Seeing Zhu Biao reaching out to rub his temples, Fang Xiaoru continued: "In addition to these sporadic rebellions that they were able to solve by themselves, when I first arrived last year, the natives took advantage of the emptiness of the Governor's Mansion to launch a major rebellion.
The rebellion was caused by the slaves in the mine, and thousands of natives participated. They killed the guards at the mine, rushed down the mountain, burned, killed and looted everywhere.
Those remnants of the former Song Dynasty could not resist and came to ask for help. Fortunately, the former governor ordered the soldiers before leaving, so the defender did not hesitate to send troops to attack them, quickly defeated them, and then surrounded and annihilated them."
"When I arrived, the matter had calmed down, and all the leading criminals were arrested. Originally I had not thought of killing them, but after listening to the cries of the survivors of the former Song Dynasty and seeing the tragic scenes, I personally
Order them all to be hanged on the seashore."
Fang Xiaoru shook his head, his eyes still red.
Seeing the change in Fang Xiaoru's expression, Zhu Biao guessed that those natives must have done something excessive to the survivors of the former Song Dynasty, but he still couldn't help but ask: "What did those people do?"
For Fang Xiaoru, who had just arrived, to order them all to be hanged without hesitation, there must be a huge hidden secret.
Since Zhu Biao asked, Fang Xiaoru recounted it again even though he didn't want to recall it.
After hearing what Fang Xiaoru said, Zhu Biao was stunned and said: "Are they crazy? They treat women and children like this?"
Fang Xiaoru was unwilling to speak again, but nodded to Zhu Biao solemnly, thus answering him.
At this time, Han Du interjected: "These natives say they are human beings, but in fact they are no different from savages. They have no morals and no etiquette. Once they go crazy, they will burst out the beastly side of their hearts. Can
The only thing that scares them is death.
Any natives who dare to rebel will be killed one by one, two by two, or as many as they can. Only by killing all these rebellious people can the stability and security of Luzon be guaranteed."
Fang Xiaoru listened and nodded lightly. He was the governor of Luzon, and the actual situation was worse than what he just said. Indeed, as Han Du said, these people are simply wild and untamable, and only death can deter them.
Hearing Han Du's murderous words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frowned and said, "But blind killing is not the answer. If we can educate them, that would be the best solution."
alright."
Han Du smiled and nodded in agreement: "Of course it is best to be able to educate, but these people are indeed wild and difficult to train. I am afraid that even if we spend a lot of effort, we may not be able to have any effect."
Enlightenment also depends on whether the person is good or not. These people are originally people who do not keep their word, and coupled with the blood feud between them, let’s forget about it.
Han Du would not put Mr. Ming in danger from these barbarians.
"Then we can't just let it be like this. If there is rebellion, we'll kill them, right? If we kill all these people, what will we do?" Zhu Biao still couldn't bear it.
Han Du smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, every year Luzon buys a large number of slaves from other places. The few that are killed are not harmful at all. After killing them, just buy them to replenish them."
"Besides, it doesn't matter if one day there are no slaves available. By that time, Luzon Island will definitely be filled with Ming people. It won't be too late to talk about enlightenment at this time."
As soon as Han Du said these words, Fang Xiaoru and Tang Ding were stunned for a moment.
The two of them lowered their heads and thought for a moment, and actually felt that Han Du's method was not bad. Instead of spending time and effort to civilize those barbarians, it would be better to
It would be better to wait until the people of the Ming Dynasty completely occupy this place before doing this. It will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Zhu Biao opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and finally said in a discouraged tone: "I'm afraid this was your purpose from the beginning. You used the blood feud between the natives and the survivors of the former Song Dynasty to deliberately make the survivors of the former Song Dynasty not treat the natives as human beings. Then
And the purpose of leaving the Governor's Mansion to suppress them is to completely exterminate these natives?"
"But if you want to kill the natives, just kill them directly. Why go to such trouble?"
Facing Zhu Biao's scorching gaze, Han Du saw that there were no outsiders here, so he nodded and admitted. "Yes, I was not prepared to let these natives live from the beginning."
Han Du leaned back on the chair, looked down at the land under his feet, and sighed: "What a great place here in Luzon. You can grow food three times a year. Gold, silver, and copper are rich in minerals, and they are also valuable."
Why should such a good place, which is more spice than gold, be occupied by a group of uncivilized barbarians? The treasures of the world belong to the virtuous. Such a good place should be occupied by the people of the Ming Dynasty."
Han Du didn't say the rest clearly, but everyone understood it.
If you want to occupy a place, the best way is not to educate or slowly integrate. It is to leave the land without leaving people behind, clear out the original native people, and then resettle your own people. This is the fastest way.
A way to occupy a place.
As for cleaning up the natives, whether to drive them away or kill them all, these are all processes, not the results, and there is nothing important.
Han Du glanced at the reactions of the three people and saw that none of them showed anger or loudly rebuked his image of the Holy Mother. Han Du also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As for why not kill them directly?
But keep them.”
Spreading his hands, Han Du said: "Now Luzon Island is already short of manpower. If we kill them, where will we find so many people to work for? And if I killed all those people back then,
, it is impossible for Luzon to become so prosperous in such a short period of time."
"Anyway, with the Governor-General's Office suppressing them, these natives can't change the situation. It's better to use them to develop Luzon's industry first."
Marrow Knocking and Bone Suction What is bone knocking and marrow sucking? This is it.
Han Du clearly had no intention of keeping the natives alive, but he did not kill them with one blow. Instead, he wanted to keep their lives and let them do the hardest and most dangerous work to contribute to the future of Luzon.
