Chapter 390: Legal Plunder Certificate
Young eunuch: “…”
Damn it!
He is not solving the problem, but openly admitting the problem. He is telling you directly that we are selling weapons to bandits.
How bold?
It's so shameless!
The young eunuch wanted to explode, but after looking at the fierce men next to him, he held himself back.
He just bowed his hands and said goodbye! He went back to report.
After watching the young eunuch leave, Chen Yingyuan stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness! This is not good, right? If this happens, everyone in the world will know that we have a deal with the bandits!"
"Ok?"
Li Jize glanced at his steward who also served as his aide, and said calmly, "I have already said it before, there is no distinction between north and south, and no distinction between old and young! As long as they want to fight against the barbarians, what does it matter if I sell them weapons?"
At this point, he looked off into the distance and added meaningfully, "Goryeo will soon fight against the barbarians, and I will sell them weapons as well!"
This is called being a whore and trying to pretend to be a saint!
I want to sell the firearms, but I also want to keep the same righteousness. I want the money, and I want the fame too!
"What if Zuo Santong..."
Chen Yingyuan asked tentatively, implying that if Zuo Santong said he also wanted to fight against the barbarians, could you also sell weapons?
Li Jize rolled his eyes at him and said, "Zuo Santong went to fight against the barbarians, do you believe it?"
Ah this...
I see! The reason why the King of Qin didn't sell weapons to Zuo Santong was not because of the Empress in the south, but because Zuo Santong was a loser. He didn't dare to fight against the barbarians at all.
Of course, the King of Qin would not give weapons to such a person!
By the same token, there is also Lin Jiaxuan. This grandson is just a businessman who only stays on the coast to run his own small business. He has no ambition at all and no sense of national justice.
The Empress is so LOW!
She also had a national cause and wanted to restore her ancestors' country. Most importantly, when the barbarians came, the first thing they did was to kill the women in the harem and then prepare to commit suicide.
With this kind of integrity, he cannot be compared with people like Zuo Santong and Lin Jiaxuan.
Of course! Integrity is integrity, and ability is ability!
The empress has integrity, but her strength is really weak. Without Li Jize's supply of weapons, she would have been finished long ago.
"Let's go! Let's go see what our Qikos are like."
Li Jize suddenly said something that stunned everyone present. What is Qi Kou? What is Qi Kou?
Do we have this thing in Da Qi?
"Oh! By the way, release all those ruthless guys in prison who are responsible for burning, killing, and looting!"
"This……"
Everyone was stunned.
Among the Qin army's captives, there was a certain type of person: an official. If he committed numerous crimes against the people of Qi, such a person must be put to death.
Not only should he be put to death, but he should also be publicly tried in front of the people and then shot. This will allow these people to vent their anger and know the consequences of being a traitor to Qi and harming their own people.
As for the other soldiers, based on the mutual identification of the perpetrators, those with minor crimes were sentenced to labor reform. Those with serious crimes, such as those who committed "burning, killing, and looting," were generally sentenced to life imprisonment. The more ruthless ones were thrown to a deserted island to fend for themselves.
Why don't these people have to die?
Because he is a soldier! He can be said to be carrying out the orders of his superiors. If his superiors order him to "not put down his sword for three days", what can he do?
Because of this, Li Jize now plans to give these vicious guys a chance so that they can use their viciousness to deal with foreigners.
and so……
When Li Jize saw the guys who were released from the prison, as well as the groups of gentry soldiers who were defeated by Wang Yuanya in the Jingchu War.
To be honest, gentry soldiers are a good source of soldiers! They fight for their families, and many of them are educated and can read!
It would be a shame to kill such a person. If he stayed in the country, he would definitely be loyal to his family and would not be of any use to you. So what should you do? Throw him out!
You don't fight against your own family, nor do you fight against your own people. Is it okay for you to kill and plunder foreigners?
and so……
When Li Jize told this group of people that he could give them a chance, those who were willing to stay and serve their sentences could stay, and those who were unwilling to serve their sentences would be given guns and allowed to go out and "fight".
Work hard?
What does this struggle mean?
But no matter what, the group of "brutal and indestructible" guys who came first all chose to fight.
Are you kidding? They know full well how hard it is to serve a labor sentence, especially if it's a life sentence, where there's absolutely no hope for life, right?
If they hadn't heard that they could get a reduced sentence if they worked hard, they would have committed suicide long ago.
As for the gentry soldiers, they didn't understand what was going on, but they had heard of the reputation of the "King of Qin".
Everyone else treated the captured soldiers like their ancestors, eager to recruit them immediately, or else buried them alive due to lack of food. Only the King of Qin was an exception. He neither buried them alive nor recruited them, but instead kept them as laborers.
Since they were doing hard labor, it was obvious that "second entrepreneurship" was the most important thing, so they stayed where they were, waiting to hear what the King of Qin wanted them to strive for?
Li Jize told everyone, "You should have heard of Dongwo, right?"
This is not surprising. The Eastern Japanese came to China a long time ago, but not during the Da Qi Dynasty, but during other dynasties.
At that time, they were still seeking Buddhist teachings here, and brought the Chinese system to East Japan. They also had emperors, generals, soldiers, and other class systems.
So what does this have to do with them?
until……
Ahem! The shameless Li Jize had shown them a new path to wealth and prosperity. A system that had never been born on the land of Da Qi.
What system?
Legal looting!
The King of Qin in Qingzhou issued them a "looting permit" and let them become pirates. As long as you don't plunder Shenzhou and his Qin army's allies, you can rob other places as you like.
but……
There are regulations for this robbery!
The plunder certificate costs a high price to purchase and has a time limit. If the time is up and you no longer spend money to purchase it, it means that your plunder certificate expires.
What are the disadvantages of expiration?
If the Qin navy encountered you at sea and you didn't have a plundering permit, you would be a pirate and would be shot dead.
What are the benefits of buying a robbery permit?
The Qin army will not make things difficult for you, and you can use this robbery permit to dock in Qingzhou and consume and trade the looted items here.
the most important is……
If you have a plunder certificate, you can even use it to buy arms and warships from the Qin army.
Isn’t it scary!
That's the benefit of a plunder warrant.
Moreover, as long as these people are willing to participate, they can form teams freely. Li Jize will now give each team a three-month looting permit.
the most important is……
Send warships! Send muskets and artillery.
