Chapter 2036
In Osaka City, more than half of the 10,000+ civilians were arrested by the Northern Army. Many of these island country civilians were arrested on trumped-up charges, and some were even arrested because they were neighbors of civilians who rose up against the Northern Army.Tens of thousands of people were locked up in one place, and the Northern Army sent troops to strictly guard them.

The rest of the northern army immediately searched frantically again, and the targets of the search were of course the captured civilians.The result was somewhat beyond Zeng Yi's expectations. After a wave of raids, the Northern Army only collected more than 100 million silver.

You must know that these are tens of thousands of island country civilians. Although civilians certainly don't have much money, people who can live in Osaka Castle are considered rich among island country civilians, and they shouldn't just have this little money.

"These guys must have hidden their wealth!" Zeng Yi said very confidently.

"It's for sure at this time! After the Northern Army invaded Osaka, everyone would immediately hide the family's money, not to mention a fight with Tokugawa Ieyasu during the process, but anyone with a little surplus food would never come back. I left the money at home." The fourth child said without any surprise.

"Hey, it's still too kind. If the Northern Army invaded Osaka, they would immediately search for these civilians, and the harvest would definitely be far greater than it is now."

The money hidden by civilians in the island nation has caused a lot of trouble to the Northern Army. Osaka is so big, who knows where these civilians have hidden their money.

The northern army tried to search for it, but it turned out that basically every house was dug three feet into the ground, so some of them hadn’t been found yet. This is not the way to go. and others.

In the past few days, Zeng Yi and the others are actually thinking of a way. To be honest, there is no good way for them to meet in the Four Kingdoms for a while, but the four of them are players, and they have a natural advantage, that is, they can brainstorm and seek help from others. Zeng Yi After telling the group of Xueyiwei about this matter, Xueyiwei really came up with a solution for Zeng Yi and the others.Let the northern army look for it, and I don’t know how long it will take to find it. Since the money is hidden by the civilians of the island country, why not let those civilians take the initiative to take the money?

"My lord, you also know the current situation. The civilians of these island countries definitely have more than this amount of money. I wonder if you have any good solutions?"

Zeng Yi smiled and said, "We've been trying to find a way these days. It's very difficult to find the money hidden by the islanders. Why don't we let the islanders come up with the money?"

"The islanders take their own money? How is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. When money can exchange their lives, those who can afford it will definitely get it!"

"Money for life?"

"Correct!"

On that day, the Northern Army found hundreds of civilians who were bewitched by Tokugawa Ieyasu and caused chaos for the Northern Army among the tens of thousands of civilians captured. In fact, most of these people were collateral branches of those big families. In a sense, they are not civilians.

These hundreds of people were arrested, and the Northern Army directly beheaded them in public, and announced to the outside world that they would continue to examine the captured civilians, and all those with problems would be beheaded.As soon as the news came out, all the islanders in Osaka City panicked, especially those civilians who were arrested, many of them were so frightened that they pissed their pants.

Afterwards, the northern army beheaded hundreds of people before stopping their actions, and then announced to the outside world that most of them were bewitched by Ieyasu Tokugawa, and the northern army thought that they did not cause any harm to the army, so they went around Their lives, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the life penalty is inevitable. If they want to regain their freedom, they need to pay a certain deposit.

How much this deposit is charged is very descriptive. If they collect less, Zeng Yi and the others feel that they are at a loss. If they suffer too much, the islanders will not be able to pay it back, and it may stir up the islanders' rebellion again.According to the investigation of the average wealth of ordinary people in Osaka by the pro-military captain's office, the deposit is set at 50 taels of silver, 50 taels of silver. For most of the common people in Osaka, although it is a lot, most of them still take it out after gritting their teeth. of.

As soon as the news came out, the islanders didn't believe it too much at first, and no one sent money at all. Seeing this situation, the Northern Army did not hesitate to kill hundreds of rioters again, and announced that they would be executed tomorrow. The list of criminals and rioters, the islanders couldn't help it anymore, and the family members of the civilians who were arrested began to carefully send money. The Northern Army was very polite and released them immediately when they got the money.

When those people who gave money led their families back, the number of people who gave money suddenly increased. 50 taels of silver was exchanged for a life. silver.Within two days, most of the tens of thousands of islanders were released. Some of them were lonely and had no relatives. For those who really can't afford the money, although the Northern Army didn't kill them, they don't want to go out until the Northern Army withdraws.

In just a few days, the civilians of the island nation sent more than 200 million worth of wealth. Counting the 100 million silver seized by the Northern Army, this wave of Northern Army got another 300 million silver.Zeng Yi knew that there must still be money among the common people in Osaka, but the 300 million silver basically took away most of the wealth among the common people, and there was really nothing to do with the rest.

The first batch got 300 million silver from those big families in Osaka, and this time they got another 300 million, adding up to more than 600 million. It can be said that just for the city of Osaka, the imperial court’s contribution for this dispatch of troops has already Pay back!

The Pro-Army Captain's Mansion quickly sent the news back to the country, and the old prince and others were finally relieved to learn that the payment had been paid back.Don't look at the fact that the old prince and others agreed to send troops, but they have been worried about the harvest.Now I feel relieved, no one in the imperial court objected to sending troops to the island country, and some people even began to urge Zeng Yi and the others to rush to attack the capital of the island country, Kyoto.

Of course, Zeng Yi and the others would not care about these urgings, not to mention that the old prince did not directly order. After the northern army captured Osaka, the defenses of cities across the island country had been strengthened, especially the cities near Osaka Castle, which had even increased their troops, and rashly attacking would only cause the Northern Army to suffer greatly.
