"Everyone, listen up! For the next period of time, everyone must stay at home. If anyone dares to come out, don't blame us for being rude to them. As for when you can come out, follow our instructions. From now on, no one is allowed to step out of their home. If anyone violates this..."
In less than two sticks of incense, dozens of people in the city started shouting. The city area of Fusang is not small, especially the coastal cities. A large population is squeezed into such a small area, so just find someone to shout a few times. Even if you just post the notice on the wall, not many people can read.
There weren't many people in the Tang Dynasty who could read, let alone a small place like Fusang, so relying on people shouting was the best way.
"You bastards, they are here to rob us of our money. Are you asking us to stay at home just to stop us from resisting?"
A strong man said very angrily. His wife was pulling him hard from behind, but he had run back from Nagasaki and naturally knew what the situation was over there. He also knew that if he obeyed the orders from above, he would probably not even have a chance to turn over, so now he had to resist.
This guy was smart. He knew that after everyone went home, no one would come out even if he shouted at the top of his lungs. At that time, there were Tang Dynasty troops on the streets, and anyone who came out would be killed. Now there were still so many people on the streets. As long as everyone resisted together, it would definitely cause a lot of damage to the Tang Dynasty army. In the end, it would be a fight to the death anyway, so it would be better to resist while he had the strength, which was better than dying for no reason.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The Fuso soldiers next to him were about to slap him twice, but unfortunately they had no chance. Behind the Fuso soldiers, the Tang Dynasty navy soldiers had already landed. They manipulated the crossbows in their hands and directly hit the guy four times.
"ah…"
The man's wife was terrified. Her husband was the strongest man around, but when facing the Tang Dynasty army, he couldn't even say the last word. The people around him were even more frightened. Even though they said they were very powerful outside, they were just bragging. If they encountered a real army, these people would not be enough.
"Run! Someone is really killing someone."
"Go home, go home."
There were some people watching at first, but when they saw people in armor coming from a distance, they knew that these people were the Tang Dynasty army. Because Fuso was relatively poor, the soldiers did not have armor. These people killed people without blinking an eye. Of course, this was said by people who ran back from Nagasaki.
Seeing their compatriots lying in a pool of blood, these Fuso warriors were still a little sad. They originally thought of beating him up and that would be the end of the matter and he would not lose his life. However, these people from the Tang Dynasty were extremely cruel.
"You've seen it all, right? If you encounter someone like that again, don't wait for them to finish their words, just go up and kick them over. This can be considered saving their lives, but such people don't deserve pity. Hurry and get back to work."
Jiro Fujii said in a low voice, and after hearing it, the surrounding soldiers immediately hid the sadness on their faces. They are now affiliated soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. If they show sadness on their faces, it may cause dissatisfaction among the people of the Tang Dynasty. If those people are dissatisfied, then their lives will be over.
In about the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, all the shops on the street closed and the people ran back to their homes. Among them, the couple was the most frightened. They started digging a hole in their home and prepared to buy some valuables, but it was impossible to bury them in such a short time.
"General Li said before that Fuso must pay for the daily occupation expenses, but Lord Suzuki can't make this decision. So let's start helping. You lead your men from left to right, and I'll lead my men from right to left. We'll search house to house, mixing our forces. If anyone dares to pocket the spoils, don't blame me for being reckless."
Ding Tu looked at Watanabe next to him. The guy nodded like a chick eating rice. Although he also wanted to get rich, he also knew that some money could be taken and some could not be taken. As long as you serve the Tang Dynasty army honestly, you will definitely not be treated unfairly in the end, and you will be able to live a good life. But if you embezzle money, you will lose your sense of security.
Anyone found to have hidden money before, whether general or soldier, was thrown directly into the sea. As for whether they could survive, that was up to fate. As long as they stayed with the Tang Dynasty, would they still be worried about running out of money in the future? Those who were interested in this little money now were short-sighted.
There are many rich people in Fukuoka, and they are very famous throughout Fuso. So when they started robbing, the prepared carts were soon not enough. The common people here have little money at home, and all the money is concentrated in the hands of the rich and bureaucrats.
Of course, apart from gold and silver items, other things are not very valuable. For example, the calligraphy and paintings they pursue are just a pile of garbage in our eyes, so there is no need to pack such things. Just leave them to them and let them preserve their so-called culture.
For the entire night, the entire city was filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves, and every household was living in fear. They didn't know when someone would come knocking on the door, but as long as someone kicked the door open, it meant that your home was valuable enough. Of course, this was all betrayed by your own people. If there were no Fuso people leading the way, how would we know whose family was the richest?
Some people's houses are well-built, but they can't dig out much money after entering. It is obvious that they are the kind of people who care about face. But some people's living environment is not very good, but they find a lot of gold, silver and treasures after entering. These are the kind of people who are practical.
In Wu Wang Li Ke's view, such behavior would damage the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, so he simply decided not to enter the city. "Wait until you finish all your business, then we will enter the city. If you go in now, I really don't know how to face the people of Fusang. If someone asks you, the Tang Dynasty, doesn't rule the world with benevolence and righteousness?" How would Wu Wang Li Ke answer?
