A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

After the court meeting ended, something was different from usual: the ministers all ran away as fast as they could, as if they were being chased by tigers.

In reality, everyone in this group was thinking about quickly gathering their own fleets together.

We can follow the imperial army and find this island of Wa, which is full of gold and silver.

The character "倭" means short, and the character "奴" means a miner; this name is truly fitting.

After all, according to the Wei family, this island is several times larger than Taiwan Island County.

The imperial court's forces are so small that they won't even make a ripple.

This gave them the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

They sent their own people to land on the island from other places.

They didn't believe that a place with mountains of gold and silver couldn't possibly lack gold and silver mines elsewhere.

After all, according to the information coming from over there, there are quite a few gold and silver mines on this island, and even a small village would have a considerable amount of gold and silver reserves.

This is enough to demonstrate the abundance of gold and silver mines in this area.

Grab is earn.

Emperor Jing of Han had no choice, because the court needed these people to maintain stability.

Emperor Jing of Han could not possibly have kept all this gold and silver for himself.

The Wei family was even less likely to stop all of this.

This was Wei Ping's order, and it was secretly pushed by the Wei family; otherwise, how could those messages have been leaked?

Even when facing their own compatriots and fellow ethnic groups, they still relentlessly exploit them.

Now, faced with the lure of vast amounts of gold and silver, this group still relentlessly exploits the native inhabitants of the Japanese island.

As long as you don't die, keep pushing yourself to the limit.

As for resistance, that's even more ridiculous.

With those dwarfs, they couldn't even gather enough leather armor, let alone iron armor.

Moreover, they were all as thin as monkeys. It is estimated that a fully armored Han soldier could easily slaughter 10 native soldiers.

If they formed a military formation, they could slaughter dozens of times more native soldiers.

If you switch to cavalry, a single charge will cause the morale of the opposing force to collapse, no matter how many men they have.

What a load of crap!

Although they didn't know why their father hated the natives on the island so much.

But they're just indigenous people, they have no human rights, and if their fathers/grandfathers don't like it, they'll just erase them.

Oh no, we can't erase them; we must make them slaves for generations to come.

Time flew by and it was already the 16th year of Emperor Jing of Han.

Wei Lu led the Han army and finally arrived at the island of Wa (Wo Nu).

Ships belonging to powerful families of the Han Dynasty also came here along with the army.

They separated along the coastline and landed at different locations in a tacit agreement.

What they had in common was that these places were all far from the Iwami Ginzan mountain where the Han army landed.

This was a tacit understanding between them and the emperor.

After Wei Lu led his troops to the island, he went straight to a village.

After several months of learning, some of the first group of people who landed on the island had already learned the local language.

Thanks to this person, the Han army recruited a group of guides who led them to the location of the "city" and the royal palace.

Looking at the "city" that the person in front of them had led them to, the city walls were "a full" two meters "high".

It is made of piled-up soil that looks very "solid".

Moreover, this "city" is "half the size" of their Marquis Wu'an's mansion.

That's really surprising.

Wei Lu led his troops in a single charge, kicking the city gate away so far that it was impossible to tell how far it had been blown away.

The army then entered the city.

Almost no one resisted; upon seeing the tall and imposing soldier clad in full armor, they all knelt down.

Upon arriving at the so-called city lord's mansion, Wei Lu was immediately confronted by the city lord, who knelt on the ground and began to chatter incessantly.

"What did he say?" Wei Lu asked the official who had learned the indigenous language.

He said, "General, you are a god. A god descended to earth, he is willing to be your slave and servant, to become your most loyal servant."

Ah, this.

He's already kneeling?

It was quite different from what he had imagined.

However, the servants of the Wei family are not worthy of being these short, poor, and ugly men!

If people saw them, they'd think the Wei family had fallen so low that they couldn't even find a servant!

Just to be on the safe side, Wei Lu left a group of people to guard this "city".

Then, following the map provided by the lord of this "city," they sped toward the "royal city" that ruled this territory.

It didn't take long for Wei Lu and his group to arrive at this so-called "royal city".

Hmm, as expected of a "royal city," it's much bigger than the previous "city."

This "royal city" is actually as big as the Marquis of Yan's mansion.

Not bad, not bad at all. This is a huge improvement compared to the previous city.

That deserves praise.

In particular, this "royal city" actually has a proper army.

Surprisingly, there were still a dozen or so people who could wear leather armor.

It's not easy, it's not easy.

Wei Lu had absolutely no interest in fighting.

He simply waved his hand, ordering his men to charge in.

No strategy or formation is needed; just charge and fight.

Wei Lu thought that this was a "royal city," so it wouldn't surrender so quickly.

So he let his men, who had been sailing on the sea for so long and were already feeling suffocated, vent their frustrations.

As for how many local indigenous people would die, that was not within his consideration.

A native general, well, he should be a general.

He was wearing a flashy silver armor.

Pointing at them, he mumbled something incoherently.

The Han army didn't bother with him, and didn't bother to have a translator translate what he said.

A soldier casually flicked his wrist, piercing straight through his throat.

Only later did Wei Lu and the others discover that this person was actually the king of the country.

They control land spanning hundreds of miles around.

This island of Wa (倭奴岛) is not yet unified; it's a tiny place with hundreds of kings vying for power.

However, the strength of these kings was not much different.

Since this is the location of the Heavenly Silver Mountain, the king they killed, whose name and title were unknown, was considered one of the most powerful figures on the Japanese island.

It was disposed of casually by a soldier who was completely unaware of it.

They died without any dignity.

Well, later this soldier was severely punished for stepping into the tent with his left foot first, and was made to wash the socks of all the soldiers in the entire camp.

No matter what, he is still a king, even if he is extremely weak. But it sounds good to say that.

Later on, I can boast to people that I was also the one who killed the king of another kingdom.

As for which country's king was powerful and how strong he was, there's no need to ask that.

It would be impolite to ask any further questions.

It's a pity that such a good opportunity was snatched away by such a lowly soldier.

It's no wonder the music director punished him like that; his luck was just too outrageous.

On the road, I encountered a useless fellow. I casually killed him and discovered that he was a foreign king. As the first foreign king that a lowly soldier casually killed, he might even be recorded in history books to promote the martial spirit of the Han Dynasty.

After returning to Chang'an, the soldier's rank was promoted three levels.

Soon, Wei Lu and the others discovered something quite incredible.

He discovered that the indigenous people on the island were deeply entrenched in servitude.

After killing their king, the indigenous people not only harbored no hatred but also regarded them as gods.

They readily kneel and kowtow.

They do whatever they're told and are very obedient.

This is simply the perfect choice for a miner.

Top-quality cattle and horses.

He's just a bit short and not very strong.

But none of that matters.

If you can't finish a task in an hour, then do it in two hours.

All they did every day was eat, sleep, and mine.

It's a good opportunity to train their physique.

I'm such a good person.

Wei Lu chuckled to himself.
