Chapter 340: Block the door and slap in the face
It is of course uneconomical to kill all the Semi people in Haijin Town. Chen Dexing’s current plan is very big. Not only should he take down Goryeo and Northeast and get involved in Japan, but he should also expand his power to the south, east and west as much as possible, turning all the wild lands that are accessible into part of the future Chinese world!
Of course, he also had to fight against the most powerful imperial Mongolia in the world in history!
The population he had was too small. Basically, the Goryeo people in Jeju Island, Ganghua Island, Zhen Island, Jujie Island, Busan and other places, and the few residents on Penghu Island, Yizhou Island and Yashan Island, would not exceed 350,000. Even if the people on the territory that the king of Goryeo can still control, the total population is only 170,000 or 800,000.
Such a few people were a big county in later generations, and under the technical conditions of the 13th century, the production that these populations could support was probably less than one-tenth of that of a county in later generations.
So Chen Dexing would not kill tens of thousands of people with ability to work at once, nor would he let the Han people in Haijin Town go...
Under the threat of death, Semi people trapped on the wooden bridge of Haihe River were all impressed and developed their ability to survive. Then they came down from the bridge one by one and threw all their belongings onto several designated carriages.
"Nicolo, we are going to lose everything..." Matteo leaned his head on his brother's shoulder and cried out loudly, "We are going to become slaves, everything is over!"
"Being a slave is better than being dead. Maybe we will have a chance to turn over..." Nicollo comforted his younger brother, but he felt despair.
The future of being a slave is very clear! This Han army shows no sign of preferential treatment for Semu people! Just look at the killings they carried out on the battlefield just now...
"But Nicollo, I don't know what we have. We can't do anything except doing business and settle accounts..." Matteo cried, "They will kill me. Then turn Sophia into a female slave. There will be ten or even twenty men fucking her every day. How can she bear it!"
'How could he not stand it? That woman is hard to do. You can't satisfy yourself...' Niccollo really wants to tell his younger brother something he doesn't know. In fact, his wife is a complete slut. Niccollo himself, he has at least five wild men!
"She will take good care of herself..." Niccollo still didn't tell the truth, "I think as long as we show enough talent, the Han Chinese men will return Sophia to you."
Of course, it was after using it! Nicollo thought to himself that it was not a big deal for Sophia, and maybe she would still feel very happy.
"But what are we capable of?" Matteo shook his head crying.
"What are your abilities?"
The two brothers were soon taken to a fierce-looking officer. There were several corpses lying around the officer, both of whom were too old. Is there any special ability? No one could pay a ransom for them. This slave was not just for him!
"We...we can do business!"
"This is not possible!"
What's the ability to do business? Oh, it's also a skill, but it's useless. Chen Dexing didn't dare to give them capital and let them go out to do business.
"Nicolo, we're going to die!" Matteo looked at the corpses and collapsed, as if he was soon one of them.
"We can do Liuli. When we were young, we were apprentices in Liuli workshops!" Niccollo was in a hurry and really came up with some skills.
“Is there any more?”
"We, we can speak Chinese, Mongolian, Dashi and Latin..."
"Well." The officer took out paper and pen from a soldier beside him and recorded it. It is indeed a skill to be able to make glass and speak four languages. "Is there any?"
"We...we also traveled to Dashi, Tianzhu and Nanfan, and knew everything about the routes that transport East and West."
"Okay." The officer nodded. "You are capable." He pointed to the left, "Stand there, and someone will ask about your family's situation and answer truthfully. Because you can live with your family and keep a little property...if you have not lie to me!"
This time I really became a slave! The two brothers looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and walked together in the direction pointed by the officer.
...
On a lucky ship with a load of more than 2,000 stones, Chen Dexing was standing on the bow with his arms in his arms. His attention was not on the Haihe wooden bridge, nor in Haijin Town. There was no suspense in these two places, just how many semen slaves were captured and how many Han merchants were plundered.
Slave...of course I want it!
Chen Dexing is not an "abolitionist". In the 13th century world, slavery must not be abolished. The question is just who will be a slave?
Of course, slaves also need to have an ascendant channel. Otherwise, how can they inspire slaves to be positive? For example, these captured slaves will be assigned to designated workshops, farms or construction sites according to their respective talents. They will also receive a small amount of reward. They can save the money to redeem themselves and their families, and become free people.
If these slaves have special talents, they will receive more rewards and better treatment, such as living with their families, because they have higher incomes and can redeem their freedom earlier... However, slaves with special talents will have higher value than ordinary slaves and higher ransoms!
In addition, if these Seme slaves can find relatives and friends who are willing to pay their ransom, they can also get free in advance. However... the Seme people in Haijin Town cannot help them, because these Seme people will also become slaves of the Northern Expedition Army!
The second-class semen was nothing to Chen Dexing's opinion, but the first-class Mongolia was still quite stammering. His attention now had completely turned to the two Mongolian Thousands of Man hovering seven or eight miles south of the Haihe River.
After observing with a telescope for a few glances, Chen Dexing could confirm that these formations were a bit scattered, and the armored flag showed an old Tartars, and they could not even attack the square formation of their own infantry.
These are the old and weak among the Tartars. Although they can still fight, their combat effectiveness is not good!
The infantry of the two brigades were already lined up against the Haihe River, and pushed up six cannons and six three-bow crossbows. They were confronting the Mongols in the distance. There were also hundreds of cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army on the edge of the Haihe River, and had stopped moving and were resting.
"Although the ginger is old, it tastes spicy!" Chen Dexing put down his telescope and sighed softly.
The old soldiers who grew up in the decades-long Mongolian conquest war were indeed not so easy to deal with. Whether it was driving Semu to fight under the city or leading the Mongolian horse team to abandon the city, it was undoubtedly the best choice!
Haijin Town has no real city walls and cannot defend at all. There is not much difference between fighting outside the city and defending the city, but it can allow the Mongolian cavalry to jump to the periphery in time after the situation is unfavorable.
If someone besieged in the city, he would have to be wiped out. The two Mongolian Thousands of Man teams that were wiped out would not pose any threat to Chen Dexing's retreat. In this way, Chen Dexing would not have to stay heavily at the mouth of the Haihe River, but could also rush troops to sweep away more northern Han people.
However, the existence of these two cavalry teams made Chen Dexing unable to let go of his hands and feet, and could only be hindered along the Haihe River.
And such flexible and flexible combat methods, which are not limited to one city and one place, are actually the biggest advantage of the Mongolian cavalry over the Northern Expedition Army equipped with bronze cannons!
"Your Highness, this is the old Mongolian tactic of the Mongols. They are not sure of not fighting decisively, but are moving around to deal with us. If we send infantry and cavalry to follow us, they will go around in circles with us. When it comes to circling in the wild, we are far inferior to them. If we don't want to do so for a day, we will be trapped and we will definitely not be their opponents. If we ignore them, it will be difficult for our horse-striking cavalry to be sent out. The entire battlefield will be blocked by these two Mongolian teams. We cannot grasp the reality of Yanjing, but they always stare at our every move. We can't go to Yanjing..."
Zhang Shijie, the military advisor of the Northern Expedition Army, went on an expedition with Chen Dexing. He was in Jinghu and the front line of Lianghuai for many years. He was very familiar with the Mongol tactics and was an expert in the use of cavalry in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Compared with rushing and cavalry, the greater role of cavalry is to cover the battlefield. In the current war mode, on the one hand, with the advantageous cavalry, you can spread a large number of horse-striking rangers, and use the method of fighting and fighting in small teams to drive away the opponent's horse-striking rangers from the battlefield.
In this way, the battlefield is one-way transparent to the side with cavalry advantages! The side without cavalry advantages will become blind and deaf! Just like the Blue Army in the War of Liberation, every move is controlled by the Red Party, but they know nothing about the Red Party's actions.
This side without cavalry advantages can be imagined how passive it is on the battlefield!
"It's okay," Chen Dexing shook his head and smiled at Zhang Shijie, "I didn't want to fight Yanjing, even if the Mongols controlled the battlefield, it would be fine. After taking over the population and wealth of Haijin Town, we will leave and return to Haihekou to build a Tanggu city! Build a city at the door of Kublai Khan's house and block his door! Let's see if Kublai Khan can withstand this tone!"
Zhang Shijie smiled: "If the Tartars can't bear it, they can only touch our iron wall with their heads! But Kublai Khan is not an ordinary person, I'm afraid he can endure it for a while."
Chapter completed!
