Chapter 568： Covet the Japanese population

Even if the cement road in the Isthmus of Panama was not repaired, as long as the castle and port of Panama City on the Pacific side were repaired, Marin planned to send the fleet directly to find routes to Daming and Japan. Remember [Watch ☆ ＾ → Book＼ ◇ Gallery] for a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-ups!

Especially in Japan, Marin covets not only the gold, silver and copper mines in Japan, but also the population of Japan ...

Yes, Marin covets the population of Japan! Because Japanese farmers are not as strong as African blacks, but their ability to work is far from that that black blacks can match.

Why? Because Japanese farmers have more brains than African blacks ...

Although he hated the devil of later generations, Marin had to admit that the Japanese, like the Chinese, were a hard-working and good at learning nation. Japanese farmers may be short, but their agricultural skills are going to be a few streets old. Working with Japanese farmers is more efficient than working with Laohei.

Moreover, the Japanese have a very important feature, that is, good obedience. This point, Lao Hei did not have it in the 21st century.

Lao Hei works lazily, loves to escape, and management is very troublesome. Unlike Japanese farmers, it is estimated that they are better managed than Chinese farmers. After all, Chinese farmers have a tradition of peasant uprisings, and Japanese farmers seem to be more honest ...

Malin intends to, after opening the Japanese route, directly sell humans in Japan, go to Panama to reclaim wasteland, and help build roads. Based on the obedience of Japanese farmers, it is estimated that it is much easier to manage than Lao Hei.

Moreover, it is not difficult to sell serfs in Japan now. Why? Because Japan is now in the midst of the village chief fighting ...

During the Warring States Period, what was most precious? Of course it is iron! Japan does not produce iron. Most of the iron needed to build samurai swords is smuggled from Fujian. It is called Fujian Railway. Then, a Japanese blacksmith forged a famous Japanese sword, a samurai sword.

Moreover, in the battle of the village chiefs in Japan, warriors were the main fighting force. Therefore, many samurai swords are needed. Naturally, more iron is needed.

Therefore, as long as the merchant ships let large quantities of iron material pass by, the village heads will come to buy. Or, try to rob ... because not every village head has money to buy ...

But this is not a problem. Marin can collect money instead of accepting people ...

No money, right? Still want to buy iron? No problem, go get the farmers to change! what? Are you reluctant to rule the people? It's no problem, you can't bear your own peasants, you won't go to other villages to grab it? Peasants from other villages are robbed, and iron materials are also changed ...

Moreover, Marin also intends to sell armor to the village chiefs in Japan. Of course, it is not a European plate armor. Because of the height and physical strength of the Japanese in those days, they really wore a set of 50-jin plate armor, and the samurai master had to be pressed down.

Therefore, Marin's plan was to recruit some craftsmen from Daming, and also buy Mintie from Daming, and build Ming-style armor directly on the island of Taiwan, and then sell it to the village chiefs in Japan at high prices. As for the cost, it is to exchange the robbed farmer for ...

Then, Marin's merchant ships transported the Japanese farmers who traded the following year to Panama, where they were responsible for road construction and logging.

As for whether the Japanese adapt to the climate of Panama, will they die if they are bitten by poisonous insects and mosquitoes?

Anyway, Japan has a large population, and one group died, and then another group was replaced with iron and armor to fill the hole. The Japanese farmer who always has the vitality will survive in Panama ...

Marin suddenly discovered that using Japanese farmers to reclaim tropical regions of the Americas seemed like a very good choice.

In this era, the Japanese civil war was endless, the country was in chaos, and the economy collapsed. The huge Japanese archipelago probably has more people left. Marin remembers that in his last life he read a post that said that in the 1500 world population ranking, Japan ranked third in the world with a population of 17 million, which is 2 million more than France. As for England ’s less than 3 million, even Japan ’s fractions are not comparable. The entire Shinra empire has almost 10 million people, which is completely incomparable with Japan.

Therefore, even if Marin pulled tens of thousands of serfs from Japan, it would not have a particularly great impact on Japan. Moreover, Japanese farmers have good obedience, and their agricultural skills are completely out of date. They are indeed excellent agricultural slaves. Moreover, even if he died, Marin didn't feel distressed ...

In addition, to mine Chile's saltpeter, Marin also intends to get some farmers from Japan to mine. Despite the harsh conditions there and the extreme lack of fresh water, Marin did not care. Still the reason-he died a few Japanese farmers ...

Of course, Marin is not perverted and will not abuse those Japanese farmers. The food and fresh water should be given. It's just that whether they can adapt to the local climate and whether they can survive depends on their own chemistry.

In addition, Marin also intends to hire a group of samurai warriors as mercenaries in Japan. What do you hire them for? Of course, to help conquer those mountain people on Taiwan Island ...

Marin took a fancy to the Jinguashi gold mine on Taiwan Island, as well as the fertile soil and dense forest. However, in the subtropical climate of Taiwan Island, the European mercenaries that Marin sent in the past may not adapt.

Perhaps it is not a big problem for European mercenaries armed with muskets to deal with the Pingpu indigenous peoples along the coast. But dealing with the Gaoshan people in the dense forests in the mountains is a problem. Therefore, it is a very good choice to hire some poor Japanese samurai to use them as cannon fodder to help conquer the indigenous people of Taiwan.

In addition, using those poor Japanese samurai to conquer the Philippines is also a very good choice. Anyway, those native Filipinos are definitely not able to beat the Japanese samurai with martial arts. Those martial arts Japanese warriors are not opponents of German warriors armed with muskets. After all, no matter how powerful you are, I can knock you down with one shot ...

In this way, Marin can use a small amount of European mercenaries to drive the hired Japanese samurai to complete the occupation and rule of Taiwan and the Philippines.

After that, the local population was looted in the Philippines and sent to the Americas, where they were mixed with Japanese farmers and let Japanese farmers guide those non-civilized Filipino barbarians in agricultural techniques. Similarly, ~ www.novelhall.com ~ lets them marry each other and confuse their blood. As such, the Japanese will not grow bigger at the bottom. They can't even explain their race, what other independent ideas and resistances are they talking about? Or, you can cross them with the Indians ...

As long as the blood lines of the Japanese slaves were confusing and prevented them from forming a unified nation, language, and culture, it would be difficult for them to organize a unified resistance front.

At that time, the German colonists only needed to practice martial arts and musket shooting techniques every day, and be ready to suppress the slave's resistance at any time. And those slaves from Japan and Southeast Asia are responsible for hard work on the farmland ...

Of course, Marin has a longer-term plan-once agricultural machinery is developed, there are not so many serfs. Those descendants of serfs from Japan and Southeast Asia will be concentrated in immigration to designated areas, such as tropical islands in the Caribbean Sea, or places like Colombia. At least, the essence of the North American continent will not keep them. In this way, various social and ethnic contradictions can be avoided in the future ...

Regarding the preservation of fresh water, I have previously described that oak barrels are filled with fresh water and placed in a large pot for high temperature cooking and disinfection. Then, plug the cork while it is hot, and then pat the mud around the cork to seal off the air. After the sealing mud dries, a bucket of fresh water resembling the earlier cans is ready, and keeping it for months is not a problem. Moreover, the cost is low.
