The war ended very quickly.
Over a thousand pirates, with the exception of more than a hundred captives, were all buried at sea. The fate of these more than a hundred people would not be any better. Next, they would be sent to the mine, and they would probably have to spend the rest of their lives there.
And with this attack.
Zhu Bai could not help but become even more vigilant.
The first thing he needed to do was to build a fortress.
Originally, he had planned to wait until the Empire Era to begin construction. At that time, he could directly build a cannon.
It is possible to enter the era of the Empire, but not 100,000 people can reach it.
They needed 500,000 people.
It was a tenfold difference.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible to gather such a large population in a short period of time.
He could only build a fortress first.
More importantly, in this era, Zhu Bai had discovered that a fortress was already sufficient.
The huge rain of arrows was enough to turn all the enemies into a hornet's nest.
Construction soon began.
Stones are being consumed further.
Zhu Bai suddenly discovered that the fastest consumption was not gold, but stone.
He had no choice but to mine more stones.
Time slowly passed by.
In the following time.
Every ten days.
The Japanese would send some slaves over.
In less than a month, the number of slaves in Tianya Bay had exceeded 10,000, approaching 20,000.
This was undoubtedly a terrifying number.
After all, there were only about 200,000 people in the entire Hainan Bay. This meant that there was almost one slave in every two people.
If this continued, there would definitely be problems.
That was why Zhu Bai hesitated for a moment before bringing a boat of slaves towards Guangzhou Harbor.
He had originally planned to delay the slave trade.
But now, it seemed that there was no way to slow it down.
It could be predicted that the number of slaves provided by Japan would only increase. At that time, he would not be able to consume so many.
They could only dump it to the mainland.
The mainland would probably be very happy to buy cheap slaves.
As for the items that were exchanged…
There was no doubt that it could be a lot.
The ship sailed.
A few days later, they arrived at Guangzhou Prefecture.
Then, the mighty slave trafficking operation began.
At this moment, history had completely changed.
In the original trajectory.
The real large-scale slave trade was only triggered when the age of navigation arrived.
But now, with Zhu Bai's participation, the slave trade had begun to flourish a few hundred years ago.
At the port.
One by one, figures with their hands and feet tied were pulled down.
This instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
Even the officials of the Guangzhou government were alarmed.
Although human trafficking had always existed, there was still the occupation of the tooth people in ancient times.
However, this could only be done in secret. Now that it was being done so openly, even the officials of the Guangzhou government felt their hearts palpitate.
He quickly brought the constables over.
However, when they came over, they were instantly stunned.
Especially when they saw Zhu Bai, they only felt that their heads had instantly grown bigger.
"Your Highness, human trafficking is a serious crime!”
Wen Jiuquan couldn't help but open his mouth.
"This King knows!"
"Wen, there is no need to be nervous. These are not the people of my Great Ming, but some foreigners.”
Zhu Bai said with a smile.
His words stunned Wen Jiuquan.
"Not a citizen of Great Ming?"
He looked a little surprised.
"Yes, these are all pirates who have invaded our seas all year round. Now that they have been captured by this king, of course, they need to be forgiven for their crimes. This king will demote them to slaves.”
Zhu Bai chuckled.
Since he was ready to start the slave trade, he naturally had a good reason.
For the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, all they needed was a reason.
"Japanese pirates!"
"These are pirates!"
Wen Jiuquan was stunned, and then his eyes couldn't help but have a fierce look.
As the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, Wen Jiuquan was also harmed by the Japanese pirates.
"It's the real deal!"
"Magistrate, just report to the Imperial Court truthfully. There is no need to worry!”
Zhu Bai nodded again.
"I understand!"
"Then I won't disturb you anymore."
Wen Jiuquan nodded. A fierce light filled the air and he no longer paid attention to them.
Since he was not a citizen of Ming Dynasty, what did it have to do with him?
Even if there was a problem, it was Zhu Bai who needed to be responsible.
After Wen Jiuquan left, the constable also left quickly.
This result immediately made many people's eyes light up.
Soon, someone came to the port to ask.
Fortunately, Zhu Bai had brought people with him.
There was no need to personally go down.
Otherwise, even if there were no problems, there would be problems.
When the people who asked heard the price of slaves and that they could even be treated as livestock, many of them immediately had thoughts.
Soon, someone chose to buy it.
With the first buyer, there would undoubtedly be a second and a third.
For a time, the port seemed to be a little lively.
Some tooth organizations wanted to cause trouble.
However, seeing Zhu Bai's soldiers standing upright, they had no choice but to dispel their thoughts.
This time, Zhu Bai had brought a total of four thousand people.
He had originally planned to sell it for a few days.
However, in less than three days, the 4,000 slaves were all snatched away.
The amount of silver in his hand instantly increased by nearly ten thousand taels.
During the Hongwu period, he had earned nearly ten thousand taels of silver. It could be said that he had made a fortune in an instant.
Of course, it was useless for him to take this money. Soon, it was turned into the expenses for purchasing and even immigration.
When he returned, there were already more than a thousand people of Great Ming on his ship.
There were also many books.
Although it seemed like 4,000 plus people in exchange for 1,000 plus people was a bit of a loss.
However, one was a Japanese and the other was a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. Their natures could be said to be completely different.
