Shi Diwen's push and pull measures are all based on the experience of the ruling place in the past few years. It can be combined with the current environment to make good use of the situation. While destroying the trade foundation of the Hirado Domain, it can also attract the Zhoushan area that he governs. A group of new investors can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, it is a good move for Haihan, but not necessarily for the parties involved.Although foreign businessmen can only choose to succumb to Haihan's arrangement, the direct loss caused by moving out of Hirado is inevitable, and it is already traumatic for this group.What Yu Chengli and others can hope for is that after arriving in Zhoushan, the Haihan people can really fulfill their promises and provide certain compensation from other aspects, so that it is possible to reduce the economic losses suffered by this war.
But to be serious, they were able to leave Hirado smoothly under the care of the Haihan Army, which in itself is a special treatment.Compared with the panic-stricken ordinary people, at least they know their next whereabouts and arrangements, and they no longer have to worry about their personal safety.
While foreign businessmen began to evacuate, some people gradually learned about the next arrangements of the Haihan Army through various channels.For ordinary people in this era, it is undoubtedly a very unacceptable thing to be forced to move from their homeland. What's more, it is not the local legal ruler who wants to do this, but the enemy who invaded their homeland. Most people will I am conflicted about this.
Fortunately, Shi Diwen had already anticipated the possible emotions of the people before that, and had transported the most dangerous group of captives away in the early stage. Even if these local people wanted to resist at this time, it was already difficult to accomplish.It's just that the troop carriers of the coalition forces and the civilian ships requisitioned by the locals are still on their way to Seogwipo, and the local people have to wait for several days before they can be transported away in batches.
For ordinary people, the treatment they can enjoy is completely incomparable with that of foreign businessmen.In order to make the best use of the limited capacity, personal property such as pots and jars will not be allowed to occupy the precious space on the ship, and the public can only carry carry-on items with a limited weight on board, which makes most people only on board when they leave the flat. When they are households, they give up their less valuable belongings.
Some people tried to flee to the forests in the south of Hirado Island at night, but the risk of this kind of escape is also very high. Once discovered, they will be regarded as resistance elements and dealt with severely.Every morning after the Haihan army occupied the city, they executed a group of fugitives who failed to cross the blockade in the south of the city. This harsh measure of killing chickens and monkeys did have an excellent deterrent effect. After a few days, no one tried again. Fleeing from the city.After all, if you don't take the initiative to make such a dangerous attempt, you can still live temporarily, but once you try it, it is almost equivalent to suicide.
Although the news of the outbreak of the war must have spread across the Hirado Strait, so far there has been no response from the direction of Kyushu Island, and the Hirado Domain seems to have no plans to mobilize armed forces from the Kyushu ruled area to launch a counterattack.The navy dispatches warships to patrol the coastline of the Hirado Domain’s ruled area almost every day, but so far there is no sign of the Hirado Navy’s regrouping, which shows that its hiding place is far away from Hirado Island.
The Hizen Kingdom to which the Hirado Clan belongs has not sent envoys to negotiate so far. This is not difficult to understand. The Hizen Kingdom should already be very aware of the current situation. Even if they send envoys, they will definitely not be able to make Hai Han retreat. Gather troops to prevent the Haihan army from continuing to launch an offensive in the direction of Kyushu.
And other forces on Kyushu Island seem to have no plans to send troops to interfere with Hirado Island at this time. In fact, as long as you inquire about the news a little, it should not be difficult to know who is the sacred armed force that attacked Hirado Island this time. Fan's strength is still vulnerable, and other forces will not be bored at this time.
Of course, there may be many people among them who are waiting to see the jokes of the Hirado clan, and may even be gearing up in secret, waiting for Haihan to retreat and make trouble.After all, the Hirado clan has always been known for its wealth in the Kyushu area because of its long-term foreign trade activities. Everyone knows that this place has a lot of oil and water, but they are afraid of the Hirado clan's force and dare not do it easily.Now that the Hirado Clan has been beaten to pieces by the Haihan Expeditionary Force, and even the Hirado Port has been lost, the life and death of the new feudal lord, Tagawasuke, is uncertain. Isn't this a good time to take advantage of your illness to kill you?
However, it is hard for the onlookers who watched the excitement to think that Haihan's attack this time is not just to teach the Hirado clan a lesson, but to completely destroy this place, and he is not even going to leave a mouthful of soup to the eager onlookers .
In the past two days, Gao Qiaonan has no combat operations to command. Martial law, patrols, arrests, and other tasks can only be assigned to the staff department. Now he has more important tasks to complete-responsible Inspect and register the property seized by the Haihan Army from all over the city.
After the end of the war, the dignitaries of the Hirado Clan without exception became the targets of the Haihan Army’s confiscation of their homes. Most of these people had official positions, and the various industries under their names were also large in scale. According to the roster found from Tian Chuanjie's mansion, they searched for them one by one, basically copying them accurately, and almost every household could copy a lot of property.
Next to the headquarters in the port area, a temporarily cleared out warehouse is used to temporarily store all kinds of spoils. It is not an exaggeration to describe the situation here as piled up like a mountain. In the space, people can intuitively feel the affluence of Hirado.
Gao Qiaonan sits here to supervise the inventory and registration of property.Although the military laws of the Haihan Army are strict, there will definitely be greed in the face of huge wealth. Therefore, in order to avoid corruption of military discipline, the military stipulates that property confiscated during the war must be counted and registered uniformly, and no one is allowed to take it privately.After the war, the bounties received by each participating army were also distributed in a certain proportion after the converted value of these properties.
The gold and silver property sent here will first be verified by the quartermaster, then weighed, and registered in the warehouse.Some properties whose value is not easy to determine, such as silk and satin, pearls and jade, handicrafts, etc., are all registered and shipped back to the rear, and then people from the business department will come forward to confirm the actual value of these properties.
Gao Qiaonan's supervisory work is actually quite leisurely. Once he sits here, no one will dare to steal and play tricks under his nose.Occasionally, if some rare treasure is delivered, he must have a look at it first, and then decide whether to register it or not.
It's not that Takahashi Minami is greedy for money. He has been in the army all year round, and even if he has millions of dollars, he has little time to enjoy it. However, the power he holds is beyond the reach of a millionaire.Whether he has money is actually not important to him. With his current position, he has someone to take care of him when he eats, drinks, and sleeps. Money can give.
But Takahashi Nan will still intercept some good things here. He doesn't intend to keep them for himself, but to present them to his boss Qian Tiandun.He knew that Qian Tiandun was not short of money, but some good things could not be measured purely by economic value, but could have more uses.
Qian Tiandun's son, Qian Xiaobao, is about to enter school age, and has gone back to Sanya with his mother Luo Wudan. Qian Tiandun leads troops overseas all the year round, and has no time to go back. He can only use various means to help mother and son. Paved.Of course, human relations cannot be maintained for a long time by a few letters, and Qian Tiandun can't be vague when it's time to give gifts. As a trusted subordinate, Gao Qiaonan naturally wants to take the initiative to share his boss's worries.
Takahashi Minami is originally from Japan, so he naturally knows which special products in his country are sought after by foreign businessmen. Among them, lacquerware is the most famous.
Of course, Japanese lacquer crafts also came from China, but after the Tang Dynasty, Japanese lacquer craftsmen began to develop their own characteristics on the basis of the original, adding gold and silver chips to the lacquer liquid, and depicting various patterns on the utensils. A Japanese-style decorative pattern, this production method is called "maki-e".
By the Ming Dynasty, high-end lacquerware produced in Japan had already occupied a certain scale of high-end market in Daming. Wen Zhenheng, a descendant of Wen Zhengming, one of the "Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty", highly admired Japanese-made lacquerware in his "Changwuzhi" written during the Tianqi period, and praised it as "quaint, elegant, exquisite, and ingenious".
Western merchants are also very fond of this kind of handicrafts full of oriental literary and artistic atmosphere. Every time they visit Hirado, they will buy a large number of them. The demand is so large that Japan has developed "Nanban Lacquer Art", which is specially aimed at the needs of Western merchants. lacquer style.
Naturally, the rich and powerful families of the Hirado Domain also had some fine lacquerware in their collections.Laymen are not able to confirm the value of these gadgets at a glance, but Takahashi Minami was born in Japan and was a samurai with status, so he also knows about it, similar to Echizen, Aizu, Yamanaka, and Kishu. For high-end lacquerware, he can basically tell the authenticity of it at a glance.
When the first-class lacquerware that fits the eye appears, Takahashi Minami will signal his subordinates to take it separately and record it separately, carefully pack it with paper and straw, and store it in a special wooden cabinet.These exquisite handicrafts will be sent to Qian Tiandun later, and then he will decide which important figures in the country to distribute these things to.
Of course, Gao Qiaonan did not forget to leave a copy for the naval general Shi Diwen who participated in the battle this time. As long as the benefits are shared, no one will ask whether the origin of these lacquerware is reasonable.
As for vulgar objects such as gold and silver, Takahashi Minami also knows that the big figures above are not very interested in them, unless they are exquisite handicrafts, such as a gilt statue of Yamantaka sent yesterday, Takahashi Minami can tell at a glance Fanpin, and definitely not made in Japan, should be wrapped up and put aside.In addition, even if it was a whole box of silver ingots and gold bars, he didn't bother to take a second look.
Judging from the results of the inspection of the city, the wealth of the Hirado clan seems to have exceeded Haihan's expectations, and this can also explain from the side why the Hirado clan has the ability to build guns and warships and form a new type of army.However, how many of these expenses came from the Hirado clan's own treasury, and how much came from Shibashiba's inheritance, probably only a few insiders such as Tagawasuke know.
And because almost all of these parties have become prisoners, or have died in previous wars, or have been sent away after being captured, the Haihan Army's search work has not been hindered much.There were a few families who tried to resist, but they were all quickly suppressed by the troops performing the task.
Compared with the calmness of Hirado Island under military control at this time, the Seogwipo Port of Jeju Island, which was temporarily designated as a military zone, is already in an atmosphere full of rain and wind.If it is said that it is only responsible for the transfer of logistics materials and can make do with it, then it is said that a large number of prisoners of war will be transported in the near future, which will completely mess up this small place.There are no armed forces in Seogwipo, and it is difficult to guard so many captives. The people are very worried that these captives will escape to various places on the island, threatening their own safety.
Although the Haihan Army had notified in advance, it was obviously an impossible task for the bureaucrats in Seogwipo to organize civilians to build a prison that could hold thousands of people in just a few days.However, the local government did not sit still, and came up with other ways to solve this problem in desperation.
The government used two uninhabited islands outside Seogwipo Harbor as temporary shelters to accommodate the many prisoners of war that Haihan wanted to send here.Anyway, according to Haihan, these prisoners of war are only staying here for a few days waiting for the next transfer, so there is no need to build houses on the island to shelter them from wind and rain.
It's just that thousands of people suddenly have to eat in this place, and it is said that thousands of people will be transported later, which will be a very severe test for the local grain stocks.The government had to ask for food from other areas on Jeju Island while collecting food from the people.
The only good thing is that Haihan said that he would pay for the extra food consumed during this period, so that at least the local financial pressure can be reduced a lot, and he can barely support it.
One day at the end of May, dozens of troop carriers arrived in Seogwipo under the escort of warships, and in accordance with the government's guidance, began to release the entire ship of prisoners to the uninhabited island outside the port area.For the local people in Seogwipo, seeing so many Japanese as captives here is a rare sight in a lifetime.
Of course, it can also be seen from this that the Haihan army's eastward expedition to Japan has achieved a major victory. For the local people in Seogwipo who have been worried that they will be implicated because of this war, it can be regarded as a little relief for their nervousness. The good news.If the Haihan people can completely conquer the Hirado Domain, then they naturally don't need to worry about retaliation attacks from the Japanese afterwards.
