Chapter 808: Let the blood of Japan (Part 2)

In the Nanyang area, some people hang out here, and then they are obviously very bored, and they all complain here. ¤,

"I'm talking about Captain Liu. If you say we have 500 people, that's a big group. But our business has become more and more difficult recently, and there are not many Nanyang monkeys. Our brothers are all pointing at this." Come to eat! Now Nanyang business is getting more and more difficult, what should we do?" said a man with a knife scar on his face.

These people are actually mercenaries, they are just mercenaries that Wang Guorui is preparing to set up to deal with those Nanyang monkeys. And Wang Guorui allowed the establishment of mercenaries because he wanted to save the cost of cleaning up the Nanyang monkeys, but there are not many of them at present. After several years of frantic cleaning, those Nanyang natives have become less and less. From the original tens of millions, now only hundreds of thousands are left. Of course, this is only a rough calculation. The current Nanyang monkeys are very afraid of the Chinese, and they hardly dare to show their faces. And these hundreds of thousands of people also hid in the very deep tropical rainforest, and they dared not come out even if they died. And these Nanyang monkeys fought with those mercenaries, and they have accumulated a lot of combat experience, so they are no longer those easy to catch.

So for those mercenaries, the cost-effectiveness of catching these Nanyang monkeys is obviously not enough. If you go too deep into the tropical rainforest to catch them, then it may not only fail to level the ground, but may cause casualties. Although the imperial court is not responsible for the pensions of these mercenaries, their internal team has to pay for their own money to take care of their families. So it's not worth the cost, so they don't want to go. This kind of mercenary, although they have the word "soldier", is actually a kind of businessman, and they are completely businessmen's thinking in their bones. There are people in the business of decapitation, but no one in the business of losing money. This sentence reflects the situation of mercenaries very well. They don't hesitate to risk their lives for the sake of money, but of course they don't want to do it once they find out that they are losing money.

Therefore, in this case, these guys can't get any benefits, and they can't have any business at all. At present, the life of these mercenaries is getting more and more difficult. Many people have also considered changing careers, and the remaining days are getting more and more sad.

However, the supervisors sent by the military also began to appease them.

"Actually, I heard some news from within us recently!" The military representative who was sent to these mercenaries began to say.

"Oh? What news? Captain Liu, what news did you get?"

Captain Liu immediately said; "Actually, I heard some news. Recently, the imperial court asked us to report the current situation of the major mercenary groups. I heard that there is a big business."

"Oh? What big business?" The mercenary leader immediately asked excitedly.

Recently, they have faded out, and business is becoming more and more difficult, and these blood-licking people consume quickly. These people often just made money in the morning, and they would have spent all of it by the afternoon. Many of them are moonlight clans, or even sunlight clans, with no money left at all. So it is getting harder and harder for them to do business, and they want to maintain the old life of drinking heavily and eating meat, and often having women play. It's just too difficult. These desperadoes just hope to make money!

It has been like this since ancient times, the so-called fierce in and fierce out. How can such ill-gotten gains be held. Although these mercenaries were helping Wang Guorui to kill people and capture slaves, such things were definitely not just. Even Wang Guorui would not be able to admit that this kind of murder and arrest of slaves was a just thing, this Wang Guorui would never admit it. So in the final analysis, this kind of wealth obtained by killing people is definitely ill-gotten wealth, and it is difficult to keep ill-gotten wealth. It will be spent for various reasons, and there will be nothing left in the end.

The same is true for these mercenaries, the money they earn can't be kept at all in the end. And those ancient soldiers who received gold and silver rewards from their superiors would easily end up drinking and looking for women after the war, and they would be spent quickly in the end. Therefore, it is becoming more and more difficult for them to capture and kill Nanyang monkeys in Nanyang. Then they have less income, so they naturally want to do other businesses.

"Let me tell you, the business this time is not easy to do. It is a hard bone. However, the hard bone, the income is also higher!" said Captain Liu.

"what business?"

Captain Liu explained: "Our imperial court will guide you to go to North Korea to deal with those Japanese pirates. We are going to fight the Japanese pirates this time, so that those Japanese pirates will be dealt with by us. Those Japanese pirates will land in North Korea in large numbers in the future, and then our imperial court will organize and hire them. Soldiers go to kill Japanese pirates, the life of a Japanese pirate is worth 20 yuan!"

"Twenty yuan? That's a lot!" said the mercenaries.

You must know that in the past, it cost 20 yuan to capture a Nanyang monkey alive, but it is not difficult to capture and kill it alive. In war, it is often easier to kill the enemy than to capture the enemy alive, and it is often more than twice as difficult to capture the enemy alive than to kill the enemy! So if you kill a Japanese pirate, you can get 20 yuan, which is not bad. However, even they all know how powerful these Japanese pirates are. Japanese Japanese pirates are not those Nanyang monkeys, but Nanyang monkeys are easy to deal with. But the Japanese have guns and cannons, and even have many advanced ones. It must be very difficult for weapons like this. And then, they're going to have a lot of problems, so there's a lot of pressure to deal with these people.

"Okay, let's do it. You're a little devil, or you're carrying a head on two shoulders. What are we afraid of? Twenty yuan for a pirate's head is so worth it!"

And Captain Liu also laughed secretly, this is actually a task assigned to him by his superiors, to incite those guys to go to North Korea to fight the Japanese. In the previous domestic liberation war, Wang Guorui did not allow them to participate in the domestic liberation war. Because of the military discipline of these mercenaries, this Wang Guorui absolutely cannot be trusted. This group of mercenaries, their military discipline is not to be expected, so Wang Guorui will not let them participate in the domestic war, and cannot let them harm the compatriots in the country.

Of course, it is not so difficult to fight the Japanese this time.

"Hmph, the head of a Japanese is worth 20 yuan, and then we spend some wealth on them, no matter how many Japanese they beat. Then 20% is used to pay taxes, and then the remaining 100% Eighty percent, they still need various consumption, buy weapons, etc. We can earn back the money from them quickly. At that time, don't look at the wealth I gave them, in fact, a large part of it It will pass through our domestic economic system, and then flow into our treasury through taxation again. Therefore, we don’t have to be afraid of them, and we will still make money at that time!” Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui asked these mercenaries to kill the Japanese, but in fact they all made money. Twenty yuan a piece, even if the Japanese population is only less than 40 million in the country, and even if they are all killed, it will only cost 800 million yuan. And 800 million yuan is actually not much, it will only be hundreds of billions in later generations.

Of course, the financial revenue of this era is definitely not as much as that of later generations, but it is worth it. These mercenaries are not good people, and they will harm the local people wherever they go. It's better to let them harm the Japanese. Anyway, if they die, they will eat dogs, so they are not afraid of anything. Anyway, there is no need for pensions. If they can kill all the Japanese, Wang Guorui will give them the money even if they are in debt. Because according to the budget, if you want to eliminate Japan, the cost will be far more than 800 million yuan.

And this allows mercenaries to kill the enemy, which can save money, and can also let them collect taxes, and then various other consumptions will flow into the treasury in circles, so that in fact, not only will there be no losses, but it will promote economic development. And those obsolete weapons and equipment can also be sold to them, and then they can make a fortune from it. Anyway, this kind of bird people, if they don't search, they won't have any good places to spend.

"Moreover, this can also avoid a lot of political risks!" Wang Guorui also said finally.

Wang Guorui knew that the use of mercenaries~lightnovelpub.net~ could actually avoid political risks to a large extent. In the future, Wang Guorui, a mercenary, will still exist for a long time. According to the constitution and system formulated by Wang Guorui, the control of military power is very strict, and even Wang Guorui has stipulated that his descendants cannot easily mobilize the army. The so-called putting power in a cage means first putting military power in a cage. Only by putting military power in a cage can other powers be guaranteed to run smoothly and not be hindered by violence.

But doing so will also cause problems for the government and the emperor when they perform some government affairs. For example, when it is necessary to use armed forces, it is very complicated if you follow the normal process. Sometimes the use of armed forces is not much, perhaps less than one division, or even less. However, the use of such a small amount of armed forces must go through the parliament and the deliberations of various agencies, and the political risks in the process cannot be ignored. Once you don't play well, the consequences will be disastrous, especially for military power, which is very sensitive.

So the existence of mercenaries at this time can fill the gap in this regard. Instead of using the regular army, they can then let them mercenary to fight, avoiding a lot of political risks. Later generations of Americans are also very familiar with playing this game. Anyway, mercenaries do not represent the government, which avoids many international problems. They do not need pensions when they die, and no one will protest against the government. It is much more flexible to use. (to be continued.) u
