Weizhou Island is almost an uninhabited island, and the living environment of the island is difficult these days. Especially islands like Weizhou Island, which are lacking in resources and far away from the mainland. Not even pirates can survive here.
Weizhou Island usually has almost no ships passing by. They couldn't afford to offend the ships that occasionally dared to pass by. So Li Miao chose to rest here. Of course, the shorter distance is also the main reason.
Li Miao gained a lot from this naval battle, but also had a lot of troubles.
This time there was more than 17 million taels of silver on the Guangman throne ship. More than eight hundred thousand taels of gold. Including the 5 million taels of silver brought by Li Miao, Li Miao's total harvest this time was equivalent to more than 30 million taels of silver.
With the gold belt for murder and arson, Li Miao's fortune from this war is really huge. It is more profitable than sea trade. Although Li Miao stopped sea trade this year because of the war. But this time the harvest of gold and silver far exceeded that of sea trade.
Besides, sea trade has been suspended this year, and next year’s sea trade will significantly increase revenue. In fact, for Li Miao, there was almost no loss.
This time more than 30,000 sets of leather armor and weapons were seized. They are all equipment of Annan soldiers. There are more than 30,000 sets of armor, weapons and equipment, and at first glance they are the equipment of the Beijing camp.
Although the Annan army only captured nearly 20,000 Beijing camp officers and soldiers alive. But there were also many soldiers in the Beijing camp who abandoned their armor.
With the rapid growth of Li Miao's power, weapons and equipment happened to be a little tight. This time it just solved the urgent need. Especially the leather armor, which can be equipped by the escorts of Shunfeng Transport Escort Agency. After all, it was too flamboyant for the bodyguards to wear the armor of the Beijing camp.
With more than 10,000 mining slaves in place. In a few years, these armor weapons and equipment will become obsolete sooner or later. The weapons and armor currently manufactured by the Liaodong Bureau Arsenal are several grades higher than the equipment of the Beijing Camp.
This time, nearly 15,000 Annan officers and soldiers were captured and will become the mining slaves of the Liaodong Bureau. It will greatly accelerate the development of Liaodong Bureau's smelting, cement and other industries.
This added strong impetus to the development of Li Miao's arms manufacturing industry. At the same time, agricultural tool factories will also develop rapidly.
This time, more than 12,000 sailors were added to the development of Li Miao's maritime strategy. Significant.
In addition, there are a variety of large amounts of supplies on board. There are grain, cloth, medicinal materials, etc.
There were more than 3,000 Guangxi girls on board. Getting them home was clearly out of the question. Almost no one wants to go home again. Even if he wanted to go home, Li Miao would not agree. At least it won't be possible in the next few years.
Even if these young girls captured by Annan's army were in perfect condition, they would not be able to live a good life when they returned. People's words are terrible. The power of public opinion in this era is extremely powerful. There are also many young girls whose families have been ruined long ago.
Now there are only more than 1,300 people in Li Miao. There are more than 30,000 people to manage, and almost all of them are able-bodied. The difficulty can be imagined. In addition, there are so many ships made of high-quality nanmu, as well as materials, how can you be willing to throw them away?
So the trouble was not small. Fortunately, Li Miao started to plan ahead on the way here. The basic strategy has been formed. Now I am just on Weizhou Island, resting and recuperating while solving hidden dangers.
First of all, Li Miao adopted a high-pressure posture towards the captured Annan soldiers. The rules are also the strictest, and the food supply is mainly half-full. Sitting together is carried out in units of ten people. One person makes a mistake and the other nine sit down.
The one with the strongest ability among the ten people is selected as the captain. The captain will enjoy certain privileges. For example, you can eat enough, have a certain amount of free space, etc.
When he arrives at the Liaodong Bureau as a mine slave, the captain only needs to manage his team well. The treatment enjoyed is also the highest. He also has the greatest responsibility. Li Miao wanted to use prisoners to manage prisoners.
This kind of management cost is the lowest and the security is the highest. Because the prisoner knows the prisoner better than Li Miao. Due to the implementation of joint liability. Under normal circumstances, the captain will do his best and the team members will monitor each other.
It is even more practical when Li Miao is short of manpower. Of course, with so many prisoners, there will always be problems of one kind or another. It can be used to scare other prisoners and serve as a warning to others. Of course, Li Miao would not kill him without teaching him.
Li Miao will also clearly inform the whereabouts of these captured soldiers and how they will be punished in the future. Because the unknown is often the scariest. Although they are mine slaves, they must be given hope.
Only when people see hope can they run forward. The same goes for captured soldiers. They only see the hope of life, the hope of freedom. Only then can you have the courage and ability to endure. Otherwise, it would be strange if there was no chaos.
Li Miao clearly stipulated that these prisoners would be reformed through labor in the Liaodong Bureau for five years. After five years they are free to stay. They are not paid for five years and can improve their living conditions if they perform well. Earn points.
Points can shorten the period of reform through labor, which means reducing the sentence. On the contrary, if points are deducted, the penalty will be increased. Extend the period of labor reform.
Li Miao can be sure that five years later, with his strength, he will release these prisoners of war. He is not afraid of anyone either. There will no longer be any fear of the impact that will have on a prisoner of war if he is released.
Li Miao estimated that five years later, many of these prisoners of war would not want to leave the Liaodong Bureau.
As for the more than 12,000 sailors, management is much easier. Their treatment is still good, although it is only half of the welfare of Li Miao's sailors. But Li Miao's sailors belong to the high-paid class.
Besides, if these sailors perform well, they will receive the same treatment as Li Miao's sailors in the future. In addition to being treated differently from captives, this group of sailors also adopt a captain-responsibility system for management. Ten people sit together.
As for the more than 3,000 girls from Guangxi. Li Miao also adopted the same management model. However, they will enjoy different monthly rates and benefits based on their points.
Their current main task is to help manage the prisoners. In addition, there are some logistical services.
Li Miao is still used to managing people according to levels. Human society is inherently a hierarchical society. There are high and low abilities, and there are also high and low roles. The treatment you enjoy should also be high or low.
This way they can find balance. It is also the relatively most stable management model.
Now that Li Miao's rules have been formulated, the next step is to organize a propaganda team. Inform everyone of the rules specified by Li Miao. As a result, translators such as Annan Guoshi became the main members of the propaganda team.
Five days later, the mixed team was disciplined and orderly. During this period, no fewer than three hundred people were killed. Not to mention the people being punished. Among them were prisoners, sailors, and even girls from Guangxi.
Li Miao personally suppressed and killed no less than a hundred people. After all, Li Miao currently has limited manpower. And Li Miao's spiritual consciousness is open around the clock, for those who want to fish in troubled waters. They were all brutally killed by Li Miao immediately.
Many of the people who were killed were guilty of crimes not worthy of death. But in troubled times, stability is the overall situation. He would not hesitate to kill some people by mistake. Not to mention that all those Li Miao killed were against the rules.
Soon everyone knew to behave. Li Miao is very kind to his subordinates, but he also attaches great importance to rules. No rules, no standards. The power of so many people, without rules, becomes a pot of porridge.
Among the people killed this time, no one from Li Miao's influence was included. If they break the rules, Li Miao will kill them mercilessly.
It seems that people in Li Miao's influence have long developed the good habit of obeying the rules. They are highly disciplined and well supervised. Rewards and punishments are clear. This time, not counting merit points, I was awarded nearly two million taels of silver alone.
As the commander, Jia Tanchun was awarded 20,000 taels of silver. Ordinary sailors and guards have an income of nearly a thousand taels of silver. In fact, members of Li Miao's current faction are also in favor of institutionalized management. Everyone knows what to do.
With the stability of this mixed army, Li Miao began to arrange the removal of Annan's ships. Only eleven ships in better condition were left, plus Li Miao's original three sea-going ships. A total of fourteen ships remained.
The remaining twenty or so sea-going ships were all turned into timber and loaded onto the sea-going ships. Those that really couldn't fit were tied to the backs of these sea ships and dragged away. These are all fine nanmu, and Li Miao is reluctant to waste any of them.
Another five days passed, and no one died in these five days. More than 30,000 people were in good order. Everything is done according to established rules.
In the early morning of the sixth day, fourteen ships set sail. Li Miao no longer has to release his consciousness all day long. I also started to have time to practice double cultivation with Jia Tanchun. The two began their second round of honeymoon trip.
