Chapter 568 Coveting the Japanese population

Even if the cement road in the Isthmus of Panama has not been repaired, as long as the castle and port of Panama City on the Pacific Ocean are repaired, Marin plans to directly send a fleet to find a route to the Ming and Japan.

Especially in Japan, Marin not only covets Japan's gold, silver and copper mines, but also covets Japan's population...

Yes, Marin covets the population of Japan! Because, although Japanese farmers are not as strong as African Lao Hei, their ability to work is far beyond Lao Hei's ability to compare with.

Why? Because Japanese farmers have more brains than African Lao Hei...

Although he hates the later Japanese, Marin has to admit that like the Chinese, the Japanese are also a hard-working and good at learning. Japanese farmers may be short, but their agricultural skills are more efficient than Lao Hei. Taking Japanese farmers to work is more efficient than Lao Hei.

Moreover, the Japanese have a very important characteristic, that is, their obedience is good. Lao Hei did not have this until the 21st century.

Lao Hei likes to be lazy and run away, and it is very troublesome to manage. Unlike Japanese farmers, it is probably easier to manage than Chinese farmers. After all, Chinese farmers still have the tradition of peasant uprisings, while Japanese farmers seem to be more honest...

Marin planned to open up the Japanese route and sell humans directly in Japan, go to Panama to reclaim land and help build roads. With the obedience of Japanese farmers, it is estimated that management is much easier than Lao Hei.

Moreover, it is not difficult to sell serfs in Japan now. Why? Because Japan is now in a melee between village chiefs...

What was the most precious thing in the village chief during the Warring States Period? Of course it was iron tools! Japan did not produce iron, and the iron needed to build a samurai sword was mostly smuggled from Fujian and called Fujian iron. Then, Japanese blacksmiths were forged into the famous Japanese sword, which is the samurai sword.

Moreover, in the battle between the village chief in Japan, samurai was the main force. Therefore, there were a lot of samurai swords needed. Naturally, there were also a lot of iron materials needed.

Therefore, Malin just needs to let the merchant ship transport a large amount of iron materials, and keep the village chiefs who will come to buy them. Or try to rob them... Because not every village chief Daming has the money to buy them...

But this is not a problem. Marin can accept people instead without charging money...

Don’t have money, right? You still want to buy iron materials? No problem, go and exchange them for farmers! What? You can’t bear to leave the people you ruled? No problem, you can’t bear to leave your own farmers, you won’t go to another village to grab them? You can’t take the farmers from another village and change the iron materials...

Moreover, Marin also planned to sell armor to the Japanese village chiefs and celebrities. Of course, it was not European plate armor. With the height and physical strength of the Japanese in that era, they really put a set of plate armor weighing 50 kilograms, and the samurai master had to be pressed down.

Therefore, Malin's plan was to recruit some craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty, buy Fujian iron from the Ming Dynasty, and directly build Ming-style armor on Taiwan Island, and then sell it to Japanese village chief Daming's famous people at a high price. As for the price, it was to exchange the stolen farmers...

Then, Marin's merchant ships transported the Japanese farmers who had traded the next year to Panama to be responsible for road construction and logging and reclamation.

As for whether the Japanese adapt to the Panama climate, whether they will die if they are bitten by poisonous insects and mosquitoes, Marin has never considered it and doesn't care.

Anyway, Japan has a large population, and one group dies, and then exchanges iron and armor for another batch to fill in the pit. Japanese farmers with strong vitality will survive in Panama...

Marin suddenly discovered that using Japanese farmers to cultivate tropical regions in the Americas seems to be a very good choice.

In this era, Japan's civil war continued, the country was in chaos and the economy collapsed. The huge Japanese archipelago was probably only left with more people. Marin remembered that he read a post in his previous life that said that in 1500, Japan ranked third in the world with a population of 17 million, 2 million more than France. As for England's less than 3 million, it was not even a fraction of Japan's. The entire Shinra Empire was only about 10 million people, which was completely incomparable to Japan.

Therefore, even if Marin took away tens of thousands of serfs from Japan, it would not have a great impact on Japan. Moreover, Japanese farmers have good obedience and their agricultural skills are completely better than Lao Hei. He is indeed a very excellent agricultural slave. Moreover, Marin doesn't feel sorry for his death...

In addition, when mining Chilean saltpeter, Marin also plans to get some farmers from Japan to mine. Although the conditions there are harsh and there is extremely lack of fresh water, Marin doesn't care. It's the same reason - he doesn't feel sorry for a few Japanese farmers...

Of course, Marin is not a pervert and will not abuse those Japanese farmers. The food and fresh water they should give will be given. However, whether they can adapt to the local climate and survive depends on their own luck.

In addition, Marin also plans to hire a group of down-and-out samurai as mercenaries in Japan. What are they hiring? Of course, it is to help conquer the mountain people on Taiwan Island...

Marin was attracted by the golden gourd stone gold mines on Taiwan Island, as well as the fertile soil and dense forests. However, the subtropical climate of Taiwan Island, the European mercenaries sent by Marin may not adapt to it.

Perhaps, it is not a big problem to let European mercenaries holding muskets deal with the coastal Pingpu natives. But it is a problem to deal with the mountain tribes in the dense forests of the mountains. Therefore, hiring some poor Japanese samurai to be cannon fodder and help conquer the indigenous peoples on Tai Island is a very good choice.

In addition, using those poor Japanese samurai to conquer the Philippines is also a very good choice. Anyway, those native Filipinos will definitely not be able to defeat Japanese samurai with martial arts. And those Japanese samurai with high martial arts are not the opponents of German warriors holding muskets. After all, no matter how good your martial arts are, I can knock you down with one shot...

In this way, Marin could use a small number of European mercenaries to drive the hired Japanese samurai to complete the occupation and rule of Taiwan and the Philippines.

Later, they plundered the local population in the Philippines and sent it to the Americas, and mixed it with Japanese farmers, allowing Japanese farmers to guide the agricultural technology of the uncivilized Filipino barbarians. Similarly, they were allowed to marry each other and confuse their bloodlines. In this way, the Japanese would not grow bigger at the bottom in the future. They could not even explain their own race, so what would they talk about independent thoughts and resistance? Or, they could also let them get married to the Indians...

As long as the bloodlines of those Japanese slaves are mixed in the future and they cannot form a unified nation, language and culture, it will be difficult for them to organize a unified resistance line.

At that time, the German colonists only need to practice martial arts and musket shooting techniques every day, and be ready to suppress the slave's resistance at any time. Slaves from Japan and Southeast Asia are responsible for working hard to cultivate the farmland...
