When Han Du heard this, he glanced at the people squatting on the ground and suddenly felt enlightened.
Japanese pirates are not kind people. Since they went to great lengths to rob these people, there is no reason to enshrine them. Instead, he was beaten, scolded and humiliated at will like a slave. If the people disobey even a little bit, they may even be thrown into the sea and fed to fish.
Under such circumstances, the people have long been disciplined to obey the Japanese pirates docilely.
"Isn't this simple?" Han Du raised his eyebrows, "The Japanese pirates can't speak Chinese. As long as they speak, it will be clear who are the Japanese pirates and who are the common people."
Finally, Han Du added angrily, "Anyone who pretends to be deaf and mute will be treated as a Japanese pirate."
Tang Ding curled his lips and said: "Those who can't speak Chinese have been executed by me long ago. Now those who stay here are all able to speak Chinese."
Han Du nodded when he heard this, and Youhu looked back and asked, "If that's the case, why are you still keeping them here?"
Tang Ding, who was on the side, saw a fierce look in his eyes. He twitched the corner of his mouth and pointed at the crowd: "It's not like there are no Japanese pirates who can speak Chinese. If there are no Japanese pirates here, then why can all the common people speak Chinese?" Not sending it?"
yes! If there were no Japanese pirates in this crowd, and the people of the Ming Dynasty saw the Ming army rescuing them, even if they didn't shed tears on their cheeks when they saw their relatives, they should at least say a few nice words to the Ming army to express their gratitude, right?
Han Du instantly realized that there must be a Japanese pirate who could speak Chinese hidden in this crowd. Only in this way would the people dare not say a word. Because the power of these Japanese pirates who have oppressed them for a long time is still weighing on their heads, so that these people dare not raise their heads.
But how to find these Japanese pirates? Han Du not only glanced at Tang Ding, but also saw him looking at him expectantly.
Yes, when Han Du saw this, he knew that he couldn't count on Tang Ding. How to find the Japanese pirates, he had to rely on himself to find a way.
Han Du pondered for a while, looked at the people squatting on the ground with their heads down, and immediately shouted: "Everyone raise their heads and look at Uncle Ben. Those who don't raise their heads will fall to the ground."
The reason why the people were afraid of Japanese pirates was because they lacked confidence. In this case, Han Du gave them confidence.
After seeing everyone looking up at him, Han Du continued: "I am Jing Haibo of the Ming Dynasty, Han Du."
Han Du's voice stirred up ripples like a heavy stone dropped into water, causing waves of commotion among the people.
When the people saw that although Han Du was young, he had been wearing gorgeous brocade robes all his life, and that he stood out among the Ming army like a chicken, they naturally trusted Han Du's words a little more. But just this little trust is not enough for the people to have the courage to expose the Japanese pirates. After all, the Japanese pirates are still powerful.
Han Du smiled slightly when he saw this. It would be good if there was movement. If there was movement, it meant that the people had thoughts in their hearts. Although the people did not put these ideas into action, it was probably because the temptation of this idea was not strong enough to overcome their fear of Japanese pirates.
To put it bluntly, it is not enough for the people to identify the interests of Japanese pirates.
Since it is a benefit, it is simple for Han Du. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward.
Han Du stretched out his hand and took out a token, showed it to the people, and said: "Changguo County is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is planning to set up county magistrates in Jianyamen. Whoever takes this token will be recommended by me to be this official in the future." Magistrate of Changguo County."
After clearing out the Japanese pirates in Changguo County, the next step for the Ming Dynasty was to fully develop Changguo County. After all, the Ming Dynasty is short of food, so it is impossible to leave such a good fishing ground unused. Therefore, it is inevitable to establish government offices and counties next. Although these two thousand people are not many, they can be left and used. After all, even if it is fishing, it is impossible to rely on the navy to complete everything in detail. There are always some low-level things that need to be done by the people.
A county magistrate with a seventh-grade official position naturally makes the people's hearts flutter. But I don’t know whether it was because he didn’t have enough trust in Han Du, or because the fear of Japanese pirates was so great for the people that Han Du offered this condition, but after waiting for a while, no one dared to stand up and take responsibility for this. of the county magistrate.
This surprised Han Du. He walked back and forth for a few steps, looked at the people in front of him, suddenly laughed, and asked: "Why, everyone doesn't even take the seventh-grade county magistrate or the first-level county parent officials seriously." You know, if an ordinary person wants to become a county magistrate, he has to study hard for at least ten years and defeat countless students of the same period. Only by becoming a scholar can he become a county magistrate. Of course, to be safe, he also needs to go to the capital to participate in the exam. Only after passing the joint examination and palace examination, and becoming a high-ranking Jinshi master in the Ming Dynasty, can you become a county official."
"It is difficult for you people to become county magistrates in this life. Even if your descendants want to become county magistrates, it will at least require the accumulation of several generations of you before it is possible. It is only possible. But Now there is an opportunity to rise to the top in front of you. As long as any of you dares to point out who is a Japanese pirate, I will definitely recommend him to be the county magistrate. You can overcome the hardships of several generations in a moment. What, you all want Do you want this opportunity to go to waste?”
Han Du's voice was full of extreme temptation, and every word tickled the most itchy parts of people's hearts. To go from a commoner to a seventh-grade county magistrate in one step is at least a treatment that only a master can have. How can we prevent these people from being moved and crazy about it? But when it comes to identifying Japanese pirates, most people are instantly like being showered with a basin of ice water from head to toe, and the fire in their hearts is instantly extinguished.
However, Han Du is not without courage under such temptation.
"Uncle, are you serious about this?" A young and thin man stood up and asked sharply. The person next to him, whether it was his relative or a friend, quickly pulled on his clothes, trying to pull him back to the ground and squat down again.
But this person suddenly waved his hand and shook off the hand holding his clothes.
When Han Du saw someone finally stood up, he immediately showed a satisfied smile. Seeing that he was still worried, he stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, "Duke Xin of the Ming Dynasty is on the boat behind. If you can't trust me, you can ask Duke Xin for confirmation."
After hearing Han Du's words, the stone in this man's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He had never heard of Jinghai Bo Han Du, but Xin Guogong Tang and he had heard of it.
"The common people can trust me." After saying that, he walked towards Han Du.
Everyone was staring at his back, many of them with hateful eyes.
"Stop!" Before he could reach Han Du, a soldier pointed a blunderbuss at him and stopped him.
