Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

“Da da da…”

Followed by a deafening roar.

Fighter planes swooped down, rushing towards the enemy like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

The machine gun spewed out flames and dense bullets rained down on the enemy.

In an instant, blood splattered in the enemy camp, and many people fell down with screams.

The enemies were killed and cried for their parents.

But this didn't help them at all.

And this is just the beginning.

The fighter plane roared and began to climb, as if showing its strength and invincibility to the enemy.

Then hover low over the enemy's head.

Launch a fatal air strike on the enemy at any time.

In fact, the fighters did not fire at full capacity.

It just fired dozens of bullets randomly.

The purpose of dispatching fighter jets is to let the enemy experience the terrifying power of fighter jets firsthand, thereby completely defeating them psychologically.

Let them not run away or resist.

He wanted to make the enemy become prisoners of Li Jingxian and his men.

Faced with such a fierce attack, many enemies panicked and fled in all directions.

They ran desperately towards the depths of the island, hoping to get away from this terrible nightmare.

But they didn't run too far, only three to five kilometers at most.

Suddenly, crisp gunshots were heard from all directions.

“Bang! Bang! Bang…”

“Da da da…”

The enemy running in the front was shot and fell to the ground instantly.

Let out a shrill scream.

Fear and despair enveloped the hearts of every enemy, and the remaining enemies were frightened and immediately fell to the ground.

Finished!

This is the common thought in the minds of all enemies at this moment.

Whether in terms of strategy and tactics or weapons and equipment.

Li Jingxian and his men all had an absolute advantage.

In addition, steel battleships are constantly being dispatched and have already gained absolute advantage on the sea.

The combined fleet was powerless to fight back.

It was obviously no longer possible for the enemy to escape by water.

Now the land is also surrounded.

The enemy had no choice but to surrender or die.

There is no other choice...

……

Faced with such a desperate situation.

The enemies of the Combined Fleet were well aware of the situation.

For the colonists in the combined fleet, if they can't beat them, they will join the fleet. This is a common occurrence.

Therefore, the enemies chose to surrender one after another.

No one thought about escaping anymore!

Not only will you not be able to escape, but you will also lose your life...

As more and more enemies began to surrender en masse.

Li Jingxian and his troops gradually reduced the intensity of their attacks accordingly.

Immediately afterwards, they launched a siege operation simultaneously by water and land, and continued to tighten the encirclement.

Encircle the enemy as completely as possible and take them prisoners.

The reason why Li Jingxian did this.

In fact, there is a reason!

Because they don't want too many enemies to die or suffer too many injuries.

Only prisoners who are healthy and intact can be capable of doing hard labor!

How can we let those wounded soldiers with missing limbs engage in heavy physical labor such as mining ore, building roads and docks?

This seems so inhumane.

So we just use physical destruction to destroy the disabled day...

The enemy's joint fleet this time was quite large, with more than 2000 large and small warships alone.

Adding the ships specifically responsible for transporting supplies, the total number of all sea vessels adds up to as many as 3000.

Can you imagine how many troops the enemy has?

Such a good labor force of hundreds of thousands of people.

After falling into the hands of Li Jingxian and others.

There are so many things you can do...

……

There are a few ships on the sea.

He escaped in the chaos and cover of night.

However, the number of ships that escaped was very small, with only about thirty or forty ships escaping.

Compared to the huge combined fleet.

Those enemies who escaped are totally unworthy of mention.

Besides, their escape was only temporary.

Geng Daoming had blocked the enemy's retreat in the south.

It would be impossible for the dozens of enemy ships that escaped to escape Geng Daoming and his men's defense line.

So for those fleeing ships and enemies.

Li Jingxian and the others didn't care at all.

Focus on capturing ships, seizing supplies and capturing the enemy.

Now don’t underestimate the powerful Longhan Empire.

In fact, it is thanks to Mao Wenlong's golden finger that we have the current situation.

In general, in other aspects, the Longhan Empire was still relatively poor.

Because the Ming Dynasty left behind a mess.

In addition, there are constant natural disasters, either floods, droughts, or extremely cold winters.

This has resulted in a significant reduction in the yields of various crops.

Although Mao Wenlong and his men brought back a lot of supplies.

But it is impossible to feed all the people with just those supplies.

In addition, Mao Wenlong and his team launched too many large projects at the same time, including opening mountains and mining, building new water conservancy projects, railways and roads, etc.

That investment is too huge.

If we could capture hundreds of thousands more captives, it would save the court a lot of money...

……

On the contrary, if these major projects.

They are all about recruiting civilians to work as laborers.

Then they must be fed and watered adequately, and they must also be paid.

In addition, during the work process, special attention should be paid to their personal safety, and efforts should be made to ensure that no casualties occur on the construction site.

This not only increases expenses, but also increases management costs a lot!

If captured enemy soldiers are used as labor.

Then things become much simpler.

Just provide them with food that is only three-quarters or five-quarters full every day.

As for the wages, that's simply a fantasy and there's no need to consider it at all.

Even if any accident occurred on the construction site, resulting in the captive laborers being disabled or even killed.

All you have to do is find a place to bury it, or throw it directly into the sea to feed the fish.

This practice seems extremely rough and cruel.

But compared with the brutal methods used by the colonists to treat the indigenous peoples in various places.

The methods used by Mao Wenlong and others can truly be described as the kindness of a bodhisattva.

At least Mao Wenlong and his people did not carry out large-scale massacres and enslavement of indigenous people like those colonists did.

Instead, they chose a relatively mild approach, using enemy prisoners of war to work for them.

This will prevent the conflict between the two sides from becoming too acute.

It can also make those captive laborers.

Work more attentively and beautifully.

As for the final ending!

There isn't much difference...

Therefore, when these enemies became prisoners of war.

Their fate was almost sealed.

Of course, Mao Wenlong and his men did not intend to kill them all.

It's not that there is no chance of survival for them at all.

We can learn from the practices of the captured Dutch colonists in Ryukyu.

As long as these captives are willing to pay a huge ransom, there is still a possibility that they can be redeemed.

As for the captives, will they have any information about Mao Wenlong and others after they return?

Mao Wenlong and others actually didn't care too much.

Anyway, the Western colonists had no intelligence and could not be a match for Mao Wenlong and his men.

All enemies will eventually be defeated and destroyed.

But now, for Mao Wenlong and others, getting money and supplies is the most important thing.

After the enemy paid a high ransom.

The ransom can be used to hire two or three strong laborers, and Director Li can let us work for more than 10 years.

Isn’t this more cost-effective?

As for 10 years later, the Longhan Empire will no longer need these laborers...

……

Li Jing and his team were busy all night.

After dawn, they continued to work for about an hour.

Finally, all the enemy prisoners were accurately counted.

As many as 43 people were captured this time! Moreover, this number does not include the wounded and the dead.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jingxian ordered his men to capture more than 40 prisoners.

Follow the simple method of 10 people in a group, people in a squad, people in a squadron, and people in a brigade.

Disperse all the people.

Then we immediately started to build the port.

At the same time, they began to reclaim wasteland and cultivate land on the island.

An equally important thing as building a port is to first find a way to achieve self-sufficiency in food.

Otherwise everything will be empty talk in the end.

Maybe it will cause even bigger trouble...
