Chapter 855: Destroy
After pondering for a while, Hao Fenglou stood up and looked at the Japanese envoys.
He smiled slightly and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. Look, I am a very reasonable person. I must be clear about this. I have come here from thousands of miles away and can't let the tiger return to the mountain and send you back to Japan, right?"
Several Japanese looked at each other, but in fact they knew that it was impossible to return to Japan. The most fundamental problem was that there was no ship. Lang Son's ships were still used, and the Japanese's own ships had been turned into ashes in the Chongming battle. However, when Hao Fenglou clearly stated that he would never go to the Internet, they were still lost.
Hao Fenglou immediately continued, "Besides, our food and grass are not enough here, so what should we offer to you? Everyone should reason, it is clear that you are enemies of me. Do you still teach me to offer to you?"
A Japanese envoy hurriedly said, "Actually, Chongming only needs one meal a day. Please consider it."
The Japanese people's appetite is indeed very small. One meal a day, and the food for a Langsan army officer and soldier is probably seven or eight times that of theirs. Now these Japanese people are just thinking about survival.
In this regard, the Japanese actually didn't ask for much.
Hao Fenglou seemed in a dilemma. If he had a meal a day and only served coarse grains, he wouldn't be able to support these people, but he naturally could not support them in vain.
Just kidding, now it is no longer feudalism that advocates benevolence and righteousness. Lang Son is now implementing the most nude merchantism with the purpose of making profits. At present, hundreds of thousands of troops of the court have been sagging in the capital, and the 20,000 people of Hao Fenglou certainly won’t go to the eggs and touch the stones. However, the good news is that the court has already developed a fear of war. It just shrank in the capital, and the north and south coasts of the Songjiang River are now like an empty city.
Hao Fenglou attacked Chongming. In order to share the pressure from Jiangxi, the imperial court's army could not retreat, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangxi were in a dilemma. On the one hand, they were worried that their rear would be circulated by the Langshan army, but on the other hand, they had to face the hundreds of thousands of Langshan army eyeing Guangdong.
At this time, the Jiangxi camp was completely in a dilemma. If the troops were not divided, then Zhejiang and Jiangning would not be protected, but once the troops were divided, Jiangxi would be in danger.
Under this double pressure, the entire court finally fell into an atmosphere of a tumultuous tide, and the local officials also felt like they were in danger of peace.
The storm was about to come, and according to Hao Fenglou's information, many voices have appeared in the court. Some people asked to move the capital to Beijing or Xi'an, some people asked troops from all over the country to serve the king. Some people shook their heads and said that Lang San was a cruel army and would not last long.
Some people also proposed to discuss peace with the Hao family and divide the world.
Although these remarks are not very operational, they reveal a message, that is, the hearts of the entire court have been disintegrated, and those who are sitting on the broken ship have already felt something is wrong and have begun to panic.
What Hao Fenglou wanted was this effect. What this expedition wanted was to shock the court. At the same time, it gave Qiu Fu from Jiangxi a great pressure. Cooperating with Lang Son's army to head north.
Since Chongming can only be scary, it is idle anyway, so taking this opportunity to solve the Japanese problem once and for all will become Hao Fenglou's best option.
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "It's not impossible to ask for food, but if you want food, you have to exchange weapons first. Well, our plan is to exchange weapons for food for the time being. Let's do this. It's time to exchange 10 kilograms of weapons for one ration. You can go back and discuss it carefully."
After sending away a few Japanese envoys, Hao Fenglou immediately stood up and began to write a letter of thousands of words, ordering people to send it back to Langshan.
A plan against the Japanese has quietly begun.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Here on Chongming Island is like a powder barrel. The hungry Japanese began to chew tree bark and eat soil. Some people even looked at their own people and their eyes looked a little red. When the Japanese envoys came back and told Hao Fenglou's original words, controversy began to occur within the Japanese.
Some people just want to fill their stomachs and don’t care about anything at the moment.
However, some warriors refused to do so. Their swords were passed down from ancestors. They still had some sense of honor in their bones, which was quite tragic.
At this time, the decision on Chongming Island was to flatter Kondo Liang, who was also one of the names of the Japanese. He was a stubborn founding faction. He was stubborn and immediately refused when he heard Lang Shan's opinion. He believed that weapons were the foundation of the Japanese. If he lost weapons, the Japanese on the island would be in a situation where they could be slaughtered.
But at this time, he was unable to let him go.
That night, the news had spread, and countless hungry Japanese people rushed into Kondo Ryu's tent, and then cut Kondo Ryu for meat sauce.
Taking money is like killing parents. In other words, taking money from others should be irreconcilable.
The next day, the Japanese elected a general and began a plan to change food.
They spontaneously organized a man to confiscate weapons, and then used more than a dozen small sand ships parked at Chongming Wharf to drive out of the port with weapons. There were ships from Lang Son waiting outside. When they saw these sand ships coming, they immediately contacted them and sent all the weapons to the ships. In the evening, several grain ships arrived.
The food rations in the grain ship are limited, and they are barely provided with Japanese people a day, and they can last for three days at most.
However, the hungry Japanese people can no longer care about so much, so they can fill their current stomach first.
After two days, several Japanese ships came out, and they also had weapons and gunpowder. They refused to let go of anything that the Japanese thought could be exchanged for food.
After more than two months of this, the weapons in the hands of the Japanese were completely gone.
The weapons were gone, and the entire Chongming Island was almost a barren land. All the things that could be gnawed were chewed, and even the leaves were bare.
Just when everyone was in panic, Lang Son's grain ship actually sent another batch of grain. This time the grain sent was not just grain, but also something like gongs. There was also a hundred households in Lang Son. This person told the Japanese that in a few days, a group of noble people would come. Everyone practiced happily. If the VIPs were neglected, there would be no food to eat in the future.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In fact, a large number of guests did come to Changxing Island.
Just over a month ago, when Hao Fenglou's letter arrived in Lang Son, major newspapers immediately began to publish a message, namely the so-called briefing of the Chongming Investment Association.
The general idea is that Chongming has 100,000 free labor, and since then it has started to attract investment. Any merchant who intends to carry out processing and production can go to Chongming. All labor is almost free, and the raw materials near Chongming are extremely cheap. Because the war began, the workshop textile industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was on the verge of collapse. Some of the market are raw silk. Although the court banned trade with Lang Son, many private ships went to sea and brought a large number of raw materials and were willing to sell them on the spot.
This means that here, labor is close to free, and the raw materials for production are much lower than those for Lang Son. Most importantly, the goods can be sold to North Korea and Japan, and new markets can be opened up.
In the past, the reason why Lang Son goods were not very popular here was not because the quality of Lang Son goods was not good. In fact, Lang Son goods were cheap and of excellent quality. In theory, it was impossible for the Japanese to take advantage of this loophole. The problem was bad, and the distance was broken. Lang Son's goods started from coastal Pyeongbo, all the way to North Korea, Ryukyu, Japan and other places. The transportation cost was several times more expensive than the goods itself. In this way, when you arrived at the port, the price of the goods would often increase by more than ten times.
It was precisely because the Japanese were aware of this that they produced locally, opening up the market with low prices and low quality, and thus developing their own workshop industry.
For Hao Fenglou, Japan has people, and these 100,000 people are nothing. If you want to truly and completely conquer Japan, you must first completely destroy the ethnic workshop industry in Japan, make it a place of raw materials and a place of dumping goods. In this way, no matter how many of their population is, they will eventually become vassals of Lang Son. To completely destroy its workshop industry, you must have cheaper and better quality goods. Therefore, this investment promotion conference was born.
The Japanese on Chongming Island can be used as slave labor and do not have to pay wages, which minimizes the cost of production. After banning commerce nearby, many raw materials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are cheap, which can reduce costs. Chongming is not too far from Japan, and there is no risk in the routes in this area, which means that the transportation cost will be reduced to the lowest.
Using the Japanese on Chongming Island to destroy the Japanese workshop on the Japanese island is Hao Fenglou's best plan at the moment. Otherwise, even if all the Japanese on Chongming Island are killed, there are still tens of millions of Japanese on the Japanese island, and they are all hard-working and hard-working. Now they have founded their country. Sooner or later, they will become competitors of Lang Son.
