Chapter 68 Gao Qiaonan

Although there are not many Japanese ronin in this group of pirate prisoners, there are still about a dozen of them. Ren Liang will notice the short Takahashi Minami among these people, not because of anything else, but because this guy has a surname and a name.

Not an ordinary ronin or pirate.

When Ren Liang was interrogating Takahashi Minami, when he heard this little devil announcing his name seriously, Ren Liang realized that this guy was no ordinary ronin. Ren Liang was also a light anime nerd before time travel, so

He still had some superficial understanding of Japanese folk customs. As far as he knew, in this era, unless they were nobles and formal samurai, ordinary people's names did not have surnames.

It was a rare opportunity to see a real Japanese samurai in this era. Under Ren Liang's interrogation with great interest, the prisoner Minami Takahashi stuttered about his origins in fluent Chinese.

Takahashi Minami claimed that he was from Settsu Province. He was originally a samurai belonging to the Naito family of a high-ranking local official. He was sentenced to exile for offending the family head while drunk. Later, he followed a group of ronin to the coast of Fujian in a confused way while wandering around, and then slowly returned to the Fujian coast.

I drifted to the coast of Guangdong and joined the group of pirates that attacked last time. Unexpectedly, the first time I followed this group of pirates south to rob, I would hit the iron plate of Chuanzhong.

If Ren Liang had not known a little about Japanese history through anime before, it would have been difficult to know that Settsu Country, with its somewhat indecent name, was actually the Osaka area in later generations. The famous Tokugawa Ieyasu in Japanese history destroyed Toyotomi Hideyoshi twice.

The Battle of Osaka happened more than ten years ago. However, Takahashi Minami claimed that he was only twenty-three years old. Obviously, he did not make it in time to participate in the two battles that changed Japanese history. Ren Liang later consulted the big data

According to the Japanese-related information in the library, it was discovered that after Settsu Province became a territory directly under the shogunate in 1619, the local governor appointed by the shogunate was named Naito, who was most likely the head of the family mentioned by Takahashi Minami. This also confirmed that he did not make up his own story.

The origin of.

Of course, if Minami Takahashi only has the status of a samurai, it can at most satisfy Ren Liang's curiosity as an anime nerd, and will not receive any special treatment because of it. What really attracted Ren Liang's attention to him was Gao Qiaomin.

The so-called "samurai style" that Qiaonan adheres to in daily life always maintains a superior attitude when he is with other ronin. And these ronin are obviously deeply poisoned by Japan's domestic hierarchy, and still have a certain degree of respect for this down-and-out samurai.

He is in awe, and when communicating with Takahashi Minami, he always looks like he is nodding and bowing.

And this kind of arrogance is only relative. Takahashi Minami has always been very obedient in front of several time-traveling guards. He always says "Hi" to any instructions and immediately agrees to them. This has never happened to other pirates.

There will be laziness and disobedience. Ren Liang tried it several times and even asked Gao Qiaonan to jump directly into the smelly and dirty river bottom quagmire on the hydropower station construction site to install the pumping pipeline. Gao Qiaonan did not hesitate every time

So he did it, which made Gu Wei, who always liked corporally punishing prisoners, sigh inwardly that he couldn't find a chance to take action.

Ren Liang believes that this is a kind of national evil that has been formed in Japan since ancient times, that is, the worship of the strong and absolute obedience. The brainwashing education these family warriors received since childhood allowed them to do nothing for their allegiance and the bushido spirit they uphold.

They do not hesitate to sacrifice everything, including their lives. But it is also accompanied by the abandonment of human nature. As long as it is an order they think is correct, they will not hesitate to execute it, even if it means that they will become nothing.

They are also willing to use inhumane killing machines. Ren Liang believes that when Gao Qiaonan discovered that the hard laborers working with him turned out to be a group of soldiers from the Ming army, the little thought he still had against the people of the Ming Dynasty should have been completely wiped out.

.

After Luo Shengdong left the labor camp, Ren Liang had been looking for a replacement so that the resentment of these hard laborers would not be too concentrated on the traversers - what people hate most is often not the enemy, but the betrayal in their own camp.

The attitude of absolute obedience to superior orders and consistently good execution ability demonstrated by Gao Qiaonan are exactly the qualities that Ren Liang needs as a replacement.

So under Ren Liang's conscious arrangement, Gao Qiaonan gradually began to take on the duties of the person in charge of the construction site, and did a very conscientious job. Whenever he saw someone being lazy at work, Gao Qiaonan would curse "Baga".

At the same time, his fists and kicks came up together, and his attacks were much more ruthless than those of several time-traveling guards. Of course, no one resisted him, but as a warrior, this guy had some skills. Ren Liang once saw him using a pair of

In the case of three, he quickly knocked over the opponent's three Southeast Asian monkeys with his bare hands, while himself was unharmed. Ren Liang weighed it and realized that although he was almost a head taller than the Japanese dwarf, he really wanted to let go.

If we start a fight, there is a high chance that we are really no match for the little devil.

After Gao Qiaonan gradually became a puppet that Ren Liang consciously supported, some of the internal conflicts that originally existed in the labor camp have been reduced a lot. This is not because he has any special management methods, but simply because he can be ruthless and manage people. In the past, Luo

When Shengdong was there, the labor camp was full of his subordinates, and Luo Shengdong was worried that if he was pushed too hard, these people would deliberately slow down work to harm him, so when someone made a mistake, Luo Shengdong would often just scold him and settle the matter. The labor camp

Although there are a lot of rules in place, the actual implementation is not particularly good.

But after Gao Qiaonan came to power, this situation changed fundamentally. Gao Qiaonan had no friendship with the Ming army soldiers or Chinese pirates, so he naturally had no mercy. Although the rogue Japanese pirates came from the same country as him,

country, but in his eyes they are not of the same level, and in the Bushido spirit, it is natural for superiors to scold and punish subordinates. As for the remaining black and white pirates in the South China Sea, in Takahashi Minami's view

They are just a bunch of uncivilized monkeys - ever since he accidentally heard Ren Liang make such remarks, he has taken it seriously and accepted it as the truth.

After watching Gao Qiaonan reprimand the hard laborers who were unable to punish them several times, Gu Wei couldn't help but sigh to Ren Liang: "This little devil is much more ruthless than us. There is such a ruthless person holding down the battle in the labor camp. I think I

They are about to lose their jobs.”

Gu Wei's words came true. Within a few days, the Military and Police Department sent an internal transfer order, asking Gu Wei to report to his new post. The Military and Police Department decided to recruit a group of local young people as future naturalized citizens.

The army's experimental subjects were trained, and Gu Wei, who had extensive experience in militia training before traveling through time, was obviously the best candidate.

After Gu Wei was transferred away, it became Ren Liang who was solely in charge of the labor camp. Logically speaking, Ren Liang would become busier because of this, but in fact, on the contrary, Ren Liang's life was more leisurely than before.

It was thanks to his success in discovering Gao Qiaonan, the number one loser. Although Gao Qiaonan is not as good at figuring out the superiors and handling the interpersonal relationships within the hard labor as Luo Shengdong, and occasionally seems too rigid, it is this kind of rigid character.

It meets the management needs of the labor camp. Under his strict control, the work efficiency of the labor camp has been significantly improved than before, and Ren Liang also has more leisure time, allowing him to even supervise the work.

Enjoy fishing.

If it were in the past, Ren Liang's bold employment strategy would definitely be questioned by his colleagues. But recently, Ren Liang is a popular figure favored by the executive committee. The improved version of the labor points system he proposed has now begun to be implemented in two newly established companies.

It has been put into trial operation in the commune, and it is said that the results are good. The executive committee has prepared to recruit a new group of members in the near future, and will promote this "labor hierarchy" in the control area in the future. There are even rumors that any

The system proposed by Liang is very likely to be reviewed as one of the legislative proposals at the first plenary session in a year's time. Once passed, it will be determined as the executive committee's governance method in the next few years. Under such a situation, any

Liang's attempts at work are considered reasonable. In addition, the conditions in the labor camps have improved recently, so no one will question his current management methods.

Just when Ren Liang was thinking about how to cook today's harvest, Takahashi Nan ran over in small steps. Without saying anything, he bowed deeply at 90 degrees before speaking.

Report: "Sir, the work you assigned has been completed, please give instructions!"

Before Ren Liang had time to speak, he felt his hand sink. He quickly raised his arm and a half-foot-long crucian carp flew out of the water along with the fishing line.

Takahashi Nan had quick hands and eyes. When the fish crossed in front of him, he reached out and grabbed it tightly, then removed the hook and put the fish into the bucket in front of Ren Liang.

Ren Liang nodded approvingly and said: "Takahashi..."

"Hi!" Takahashi Nan immediately agreed loudly.

"Don't keep having fun from now on. It sounds awkward. Just answer 'yes' to whatever I say..."

"Hi!...Yes!"

"Also, when I speak, listen to me first and don't interrupt me casually..."

"yes!"

Faced with this stubborn little devil who didn't know how to adapt, Ren Liang's mouth twitched a few times, and finally he could only sigh helplessly: "Takahashi, why are you so obedient? Don't you have any will to resist?"

Takahashi Minami replied seriously: "The existence of samurai is to serve the strong. A samurai who cannot execute orders is not a qualified samurai."

"Do your family members know that you work so hard?" Ren Liang couldn't help but tease.

"Hard work will definitely pay off, and I, Gao Qiaonan, will prove it throughout my life!" The humble little man suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Sir, please believe me!"

Ren Liang couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't be so solemn, I am not your object of allegiance. Even if you want to be loyal, you should be loyal to the executive committee, not me personally."

"Executive Committee?" Gao Qiaonan didn't understand the organizational structure of Chuanzhong, so he repeated this unfamiliar word.

"That's right, the Executive Committee." Ren Liang thought for a while and then explained: "Just like the shogunate in your country, it is the highest authority of our Haihan."

Takahashi Minami didn't quite understand what the highest authority meant, but he understood the phrase "same as the shogunate", and his eyes immediately lit up: "Sir Ren, do I have a chance to become a samurai on the executive committee?

"

"Of course there is. You also said that if you work hard, there will be retribution... Oh no, there will be rewards." Ren Liang suppressed his laughter and continued to encourage him: "As long as you continue to work hard, you will definitely have a chance."
