Weizhou Island is almost an uninhabited island. The living environment of the island is difficult these days. Especially for islands like Weizhou Island, which are lacking in resources and far away from the mainland. Even pirates will not survive here.

Almost no ships usually pass by Weizhou Island. The ships that occasionally dare to pass by are not something they can afford to offend. So Li Miao chose to rest here. Of course, the shorter distance is also the main reason.

Li Miao gained a lot from this naval battle, but also had a lot of troubles.

This time, there were more than 17 million taels of silver and more than 800,000 taels of gold on the Guangman Throne ship. Adding in the 5 million taels of silver brought by Li Miao, Li Miao's total harvest this time was equivalent to more than 30 million taels.

Two silver coins.

With the gold belt for murder and arson, Li Miao's fortune from this war is really huge. He makes more money than sea trade. Although Li Miao stopped sea trade this year because of this war, his harvest of gold and silver this time is

It far surpasses sea trade.

Besides, since sea trade is suspended this year, next year’s sea trade will significantly increase income. In fact, for Li Miao, there will be almost no loss.

This time we seized more than 30,000 sets of leather armor and weapons. They were all equipment of Annan soldiers. There were more than 30,000 sets of armor and weapons, which looked like the equipment of the Beijing camp.

Although the Annan army only captured nearly 20,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp alive, there were also many soldiers from the Beijing camp who abandoned their armor.

With the rapid growth of Li Miao's power, weapons and equipment were a little tight. This time it just solved the urgent need. Especially the leather armor, which can be equipped by the escorts of Shunfeng Transportation Escort Bureau. After all, it is too difficult for the escorts to wear the armor of the Beijing camp.

Publicized.

With more than 10,000 mine slaves in place, these armors, weapons and equipment will be eliminated sooner or later in a few years. The weapons and armors currently manufactured by the Liaodong Bureau Arsenal are several grades higher than the equipment of the Beijing Camp.

This time, nearly 15,000 Annan officers and soldiers were captured, and they will become the mining slaves of the Liaodong Bureau. This will greatly accelerate the development of the Liaodong Bureau's smelting, cement and other industries.

This will add strong impetus to the development of Li Miao's weapons manufacturing industry. At the same time, the agricultural tool factory will also develop rapidly.

This time, more than 12,000 sailors were added, which was of great significance to the development of Li Miao's maritime strategy.

In addition, there are a variety of large amounts of supplies on board. There are grains, cloth, medicinal materials, etc.

There are more than 3,000 Guangxi girls on board. It is obviously impossible to let them go home. Almost no one wants to go home again. Even if there are some who want to go home, Li Miao will not agree, at least not in the past few years.

possible.

These young girls captured by Annan's army, even if they were intact, would not be able to live a good life back home. People's words are terrible. The power of public opinion in this era is extremely powerful. There are many girls whose families have been ruined long ago.

Now Li Miao only has a total of more than 1,300 people. He has to manage more than 30,000 people, and almost all of them are strong. The difficulty can be imagined. Plus there are so many ships with high-quality nanmu and materials, how can

Are you willing to throw it away?

So the trouble is not small. Fortunately, Li Miao started to plan ahead on the way here. The basic strategy has been formed. Now he is just resting on Weizhou Island while solving hidden dangers.

First of all, Li Miao adopted a high-pressure posture towards the captured Annan soldiers. He also set the strictest rules. The food supply was mainly half-full. Ten-person units were used to sit together. If one person made a mistake, the other nine people sat together.

The one with the strongest ability among the ten people is selected as the captain. The captain will enjoy certain privileges. For example, he can have enough food and a certain amount of free space.

When he later arrived at the Liaodong Bureau, as a mining slave, the captain only had to manage his team well. He would also enjoy the highest treatment, and he would also have the greatest responsibility. Li Miao wanted to use the prisoners to manage the prisoners.

This kind of management has the lowest cost and the highest security. Because the prisoners know the prisoners better than Li Miao. Due to the implementation of joint and several liability, under normal circumstances, the captain will do his best and the team members will supervise each other.

It is even more practical when Li Miao is short of manpower. Of course, with so many prisoners, there will always be problems of one kind or another. It can be used to frighten other prisoners and serve as a warning to others. Of course, Li Miao will not kill him without teaching.

Li Miao will also clearly inform these captured soldiers of their whereabouts and how they will be punished in the future. Because the unknown is often the scariest thing. Although they are mine slaves, they must also be given hope.

Only when people see hope can they run forward. The same is true for captured soldiers. Only when they see the hope of life and freedom can they run strong and endure. Otherwise, it would be strange not to be in chaos.

Li Miao clearly stipulated that these prisoners would be reformed through labor in the Liaodong Bureau for five years. After five years, they would be free to leave or leave. During the five years, they would not be paid, and if they performed well, they could improve their living conditions and earn points.

Points can shorten the period of reform through labor, which means the sentence is reduced. On the contrary, deducting points means increasing the sentence and extending the period of reform through labor.

Li Miao can be sure that five years later, with his strength, he will release these prisoners of war. He will not be afraid of anyone. He will no longer be afraid of the impact that the release of the prisoners of war will have on him.

Li Miao estimated that five years later, many of these prisoners of war would not want to leave the Liaodong Bureau.

As for the more than 12,000 sailors, management is much easier. Their treatment is still good, although it is only half of the benefits of Li Miao's sailors. But Li Miao's sailors belong to the high-paying class.

Besides, if these sailors perform well, they will receive the same treatment as Li Miao's sailors in the future. In addition to being treated differently from prisoners, this group of sailors also adopts a captain responsibility system for management. Ten people sit together.

As for the more than 3,000 girls from Guangxi, Li Miao also adopts the same management model. However, they will enjoy different monthly rates and benefits based on their points.

Their current main task is to assist in the management of prisoners. In addition, they also perform some logistical services.

Li Miao is still used to managing people according to hierarchies. Human society is inherently a hierarchical society. There are different abilities and different roles. The treatment you enjoy should also be high and low.

Only in this way can they find a balance. It is also the relatively most stable management model.

Now that Li Miao's rules have been formulated, the next step is to organize a propaganda team. Inform everyone of the rules designated by Li Miao. Therefore, translators such as Annan Guoguo became the main members of the propaganda team.

Five days later, this mixed team was well-disciplined and orderly. During this period, no less than 300 people were killed, not to mention those who were punished. Among them were prisoners, sailors, and even girls from Guangxi.

Li Miao personally suppressed and killed no less than a hundred people. After all, Li Miao now had limited manpower. And Li Miao's spiritual consciousness was open around the clock. Those who wanted to fish in troubled waters were immediately and brutally suppressed by Li Miao.

Many of the people who were killed were guilty of crimes that would not lead to death. But in troubled times, stability is the overall situation. Even if some people were killed by mistake, they would not hesitate. Not to mention that all those killed by Li Miao violated the rules.

of.

Soon everyone knew that they had to abide by the rules. Li Miao was very kind to his subordinates, but he also valued rules the most. Without rules, there would be nothing. The power of so many people would become a pot of porridge without rules.

Among the people who were killed this time, none of them were from Li Miao's influence. If they broke the rules, Li Miao would kill them mercilessly.

It seems that the people in Li Miao's influence have long developed the good habit of obeying the rules. They have strict discipline and supervision, and clear rewards and punishments. This time, not counting merit points, they were rewarded with nearly two million taels of silver alone.

As the commander, Jia Tanchun received a reward of 20,000 taels of silver. Ordinary sailors and guards had an income of nearly 1,000 taels of silver. In fact, members of Li Miao's current forces are also in favor of institutionalized management. Everyone knows what to do.

.

With the stability of this mixed army, Li Miao began to arrange for the removal of Annan's ships. Only eleven ships in better condition were left, plus Li Miao's original three sea-going ships. A total of fourteen ships were left.

The remaining twenty or so ships were all turned into timber and loaded onto the ships. Those that could not be loaded were tied to the backs of these ships and dragged away. These were all fine nanmu, and Li Miao was reluctant to waste any of them.

It was another five days, and no one died in these five days. More than 30,000 people were in good order. Everything was done according to the established rules.
