Except for the Westerners who were caught in Haojing.
The Japanese Japanese slaves and black slaves of the Portuguese who followed the Westerners to fight against the Guards Navy to regain Haojing were also imprisoned in the plantations of the state-owned farms to cultivate farmland.
They also play the role of plowing cattle.
The Han people who were previously enslaved in Haojing's Western Empire were all reclassified as Haojing natives by Chen Xin, who also served as the magistrate of Haojing.
The real estate left here by Westerners was basically given to these people to live in.
The shops left by Westerners here were directly set up as government-run businesses, and the Han people who originally worked in these shops were also retained as hired workers.
In addition, the Western Council's council body here was directly changed to Haojingzhou Yamen.
The statues and various cultural symbols left here by Westerners were also destroyed and replaced with statues of famous people such as Zheng He, the navigator of the Ming Dynasty.
When a Portuguese ship from Goa, India came to Haojing, it saw that it had become a strange place.
Captain Harmo was shocked to find that there was no Portuguese flag in Haojing City, where the Portuguese lived, and the forts were all hung with flags with the word "ming". Even the people on the ship had all turned into men with brocade hair. People from Ming Dynasty.
"My God, what is going on? Why is there not a single Portuguese in Haojing City in Portugal!"
Hammer couldn't help but said because of this.
But while Hammer was still in shock, three Ming III-class sailing warships suddenly surrounded him.
Then came the loud sound of cannon fire.
Hammer did not expect that these three warships from the Ming Kingdom would bombard him without saying a word.
Moreover, it is obvious that the power and range of the artillery are far greater than our own, and the speed is even faster.
Therefore, Hammer finally chose to raise the white flag and surrender.
"Why are you besieging us?"
Hamer did not have the opportunity to ask why until he surrendered and saw the Guardsmen.
"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has long decreed and promulgated the "Regulations on Maritime Rights of the Ming Dynasty", which requires merchant ships from all countries to register with the shipping department of each city to apply for a navigation flag. They must display the flag within twelve nautical miles of the coast of the territory of the Ming Dynasty and fly the Daming flag at the same time. The decree was issued two years ago. It is impossible for you not to know that it has been issued for two years now. Entering the territorial waters of our country, the Ming Dynasty, and still being so unscrupulous, without flying the flag, and even equipped with artillery, do you really not take the Ming Dynasty seriously, or do you not? Do you take my Ming Navy seriously?! According to the regulations, our punishment decision for you is: your merchant ship and all the cargo on board will be impounded, including you, and you will be permanently enslaved, because your behavior is considered an illegal intrusion!"
After an interpreter conveyed Chen Xin's words, Chen Xin ordered: "Register them with numbers, report them, and imprison them first, waiting for the Lord to punish them!"
Hammer here was even more shocked and angry.
They Westerners really turned a blind eye to the Ming Emperor's decree. After all, the focus of the Ming Dynasty in recent years has not been on the sea, and the Westerners are used to running rampant on the sea, so they don't take it seriously, just like Hao Jing's Portugal. Before this, people continued to build city walls despite the opposition of the Ming Dynasty.
"We are not from your Ming country, and we have no obligation to obey your emperor's orders. You will anger our country! Besides, Haojing is my Portuguese territory, and our king has appointed a governor for him!"
Hammer said hurriedly.
After hearing what Hamo said, Chen Xin only smiled faintly, ignored it, and then turned around and left.
"Hey! Hey!"
Hammer shouted hurriedly.
"Shut up!"
But soon, a stick slave whipped Hamo and shouted to several Japanese slaves: "Put shackles on these people and take them away!"
Seven years before the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty did not have strong enough maritime power, and the Ming court had not yet focused enough on maritime borders, especially in the direction of Nanyang. Therefore, these Westerners unscrupulously violated Ming's maritime rights and interests in Nanyang. , and even coastal plunder.
But now, Zhu Youxiao's domestic reforms have almost been completed, and the navy's strength has also grown a lot, and it naturally has the ability to protect the maritime rights and interests of the Ming Empire.
Especially after the recapture of Haojing, the 1st Battalion of the Guards Navy, which is stationed in Haojing, has often patrolled in this area to crack down on illegal merchant ships in order to teach these merchant ships to obey the rules.
And Hammer is not the first, nor the last.
Ming Dynasty's behavior of safeguarding its own maritime rights and interests will naturally make these Westerners who regard the global ocean as their own back garden and unscrupulously sail and enclose territory and draw lines very uncomfortable.
However, this is a story for later.
While the Portuguese in Haojing were captured and enslaved by the Guards Navy, the Dutch and Spanish in Taiwan were also captured and enslaved by the Guards Navy. Naturally, all the Han people enslaved by them were rescued and Reorganize households into citizens.
But because of this, for a time, the number of Westerners captured by the Ming Dynasty far exceeded the number of Han people sold.
For this reason, after Zhu Youxiao ordered that these Westerners be captured and sent to Taiwan to work as slaves, he again ordered these Westerners to be transferred to Musan in Hamgyong Province, North Korea, for mining.
There is a huge demand for steel in Ming Dynasty.
And Zhu Youxiao remembered that there was Asia's largest open-pit iron mine in Musan, Hamgyong Province, North Korea. Therefore, he had already asked North Korea through diplomatic channels to lease Musan to Ming Dynasty for a hundred years as an iron ore base for Ming Dynasty's external mining.
Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that there were many large iron mines in China that were discovered later.
But he has no plans to mine domestically now.
Because he plans to keep the domestic mineral resources first and wait until the mining outside is almost complete.
The Musan Iron Mine currently being mined by the Ming Dynasty is still in short supply of miners, because Hamgyong Province in North Korea is sparsely populated, so there are relatively few local North Korean miners to hire.
Zhu Youxiao had long received a report from Liaodong officials who were also in charge of the Maoshan Iron Mine, saying that the Maoshan Iron Mine was short of miners and hoped that some criminals could be exiled to Maoshan.
Therefore, he decided to take some of the captured Western dogs to Mushan to work as miners.
As a result, Hamo and others were transported thousands of miles to Musan, Hamgyong Province for mining.
"Dig! Dig hard for me, don't be so lazy!"
The supervisors working at the Maoshan Iron Works of the Ming Dynasty naturally treated the Western slaves who were mining more harshly after they arrived in Maoshan, and they could not survive the whipping.
"Why, make us work like slaves, we are not slaves!"
Hammer began to cry.
But gradually, he had to get used to this kind of life.
…
"Most of the Han people who were trafficked and smuggled have been rescued, and many Han people who were kidnapped by the Westerners have even been rescued. In addition to the Westerners who are conducting legal trade with our Ming Dynasty in accordance with the rules, in Taiwan and Haojing All Westerners appearing in the area have been forced to serve."
On this day in August of the seventh year of Tianqi, Fang Congzhe reported to Zhu Youxiao the basic situation of capturing the Westerners and putting them into service.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said: "I hope these bandits from the West can abide by some rules in the future! Don't really think that they are the strongest in this world. They must be more afraid of the Ming Dynasty! However, they must also be careful to prevent their revenge and tell them Instruct all naval forces in the Ming Dynasty to be on guard!"
