The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 298 Japanese Mercenaries

In the 20th year of the Era of Sauron, when the Eurasian continent was in full swing, two infantry divisions of the Sauron Empire landed on Kyushu Island, Japan.

The local daimyo were defeated and sued for peace in just one day.

Yuri didn't mean to occupy Japan, he just wanted to become the co-owner of Japan, so he didn't ban the political situation of the daimyo in Japan, let alone the Bushido, but mobilized the local daimyo to form a coalition in the name of the suzerain country, obeying the request The dispatch of the Lun Empire.

Half a year later, the entire country of Japan was reduced to a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country under the double blow of the Sauron Empire's diplomacy and war.

The Sauron Empire stationed an infantry division in Kyushu Island, Honshu Island, and Shikoku Island, and Japan still maintains a fragmented daimyo system. The Emperor of Japan was banned and downgraded to the King of Japan, and Emperor Sauron was the main...

These were high-level matters that had little effect on the Japanese samurai class.

What really subdued the Japanese samurai class was the large conscription policy of the Sauron Empire.

After the Sauron Empire took over Japan, Japan, which was impoverished and had a large number of werewolf samurai (that is, landless samurai), finally solved the hidden danger of the surplus samurai class.

In fact, the war in Japan is inseparable from the eldest son inheritance system of the Japanese samurai class.

Among all the samurai classes in Japan, only the eldest son of the family can inherit the land. Although the other second sons also have samurai blood, they cannot receive the family property. At most, they get two samurai swords and a samurai kimono...

However, the samurai class is a privileged class, and it is naturally impossible to have only one woman.

The number of bastards and evil sons is countless, and a special class of poor people - ronin warriors have naturally emerged.

They have the blood of warriors, so they naturally have the right to kill civilians, and they have received a good education in killing people since they were young, so they all dare to fight.

But it is also because of the blood of the samurai that these ronin cannot engage in farm work.

In Japan, being a farmer is the lowest social class. How could a ronin samurai become a farmer?
As a result, these ronin warriors became Japan's prosperous mercenaries and bandits!
If you are lucky, you will work for the daimyo and get your own administrative office, but the vast majority of ronin samurai can only survive with two samurai swords all their lives.

Of course, the ronin samurai have become the biggest unstable factor in society. The elegant samurai class is the foundation of Japanese rule. Anyone who dares to abolish the samurai class will become a large number of enemies of the ronin samurai and the samurai privileged class.

A samurai who owns an acre of land may have some scruples if he has a family business, but those ronin warriors are all barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and they are crazy lunatics who specialize in killing people.

The Warring States Period in Japan has not been able to subside for a long time, and it is inseparable from the ronin warriors everywhere. As long as the defeated daimyo still has money, they can gather a new group of ronin warriors in minutes.

These ronin warriors have honed their slashing skills since they were young, and they have saved their military training!

Yuri invaded the impoverished Japan because he fell in love with this group of ronin samurai.

It is difficult for the privileged class of samurai with land to be tempted. They can overwhelm the peasants by lying at home, why should they go out and work hard?

But the ronin samurai are different, they can be hired to join the army with only a small amount of money, and this group of people who have accepted the Bushido idea since childhood still attach great importance to the word loyalty.

In this way, the Sauron Empire regarded Japan as the training base for the cannon fodder army, and began to openly recruit ronin warriors for training.

After training a group of ronin warriors, they were armed and sent to the African continent to catch black slaves...

The captured black slaves were castrated and transported to plantations across the American continent to serve as cheap labor.

Since the black slaves were castrated and sold and were unable to give birth to their own children, the demand for the number of black slaves remained high, allowing the Sauron Empire to continue this trade for a long time.

On the American continent, the Sauron Empire implemented a strict black slave castration law. If it is found that any black slave has not been castrated, the males in the family will be collectively punished for castration!
This is a crueler punishment than the death penalty!

Since this era is still a patriarchal society, it is impossible for planters to be headed only by women. The planters in the American continent are all law-abiding citizens...

In addition, once the law is violated, the plantation will be confiscated after being castrated!

After the Japanese samurai mercenaries arrived on the African continent, due to the superiority of their weapons and their own combat skills, it was impossible for the black tribe to win even if they had ten times the force. The progress was quite smooth.

But soon, the Japanese samurai mercenaries discovered serious problems.

Even though they have won many battles, the death rate still exceeds 5%!
In some tropical jungle areas, the death rate can even reach [-]%!

A true escape from death.

The reason for this death rate is very simple - the soil and water are not acclimatized.

It's a pity that the Japanese mercenaries who discovered this had no chance to return to their hometown, and the Sauron Empire would not allow them to go back.

In the propaganda of Japan, those ronin samurai who left their hometowns went to the African continent to enjoy their blessings. When they got there, as long as they brought back a few black slaves, they could get a large piece of land, and there were free black slaves to work on the land. It is simply the beginning of the uncle's life.

It is this kind of publicity, coupled with the real high settlement expenses, that has led to a steady stream of Japanese ronin warriors being sent to the African continent to arrest the black uncle...

Under the sacrifice of the Japanese ronin warriors, the colonial progress of the Sauron Empire on the African continent was very efficient.

With a large number of young black slaves working, the construction of the colony went smoothly.

Some Japanese samurai who escaped from death and adapted to the climate of the African continent and tropical diseases such as dysentery also got their wish and became the landlords of a plantation on the African continent.

These role models are the hope of the Japanese ronin samurai staying in the African continent, otherwise, the high non-combat attrition would have forced the Japanese ronin samurai to rebel...

Of course, under the military pressure of the Sauron Empire, rebellion is not much different from suicide.

The merchant ships of the Sauron Empire sent Japan to transport ronin warriors to the African continent, then transported black slaves from the African continent to the American continent, and then transported various industrial products and gold, silver and precious metals from the American continent to Japan for trade and employment of ronin warriors.

In this way, a circular navigation chain of interests has been formed, which has made outstanding contributions to reducing the population of the samurai class in Japan and the population of African blacks...
