Chapter 1440: Throwing Yourself into the Coolie Camp
"Slave, slave?"
These two words stabbed Guo Youming like a wasp's tail needle, and he trembled viciously with stimulation.
He had also traveled around the Western Regions for a long time, and had naturally seen how the local tribes dealt with the captured prisoners and plundered populations after the defeat.
In general, these people are treated roughly. In fact, the word "rough" is already very elegant, but the reality is that they are simply disposed of like animals, and sometimes even worse than animals.
The herdsmen are often careful out of their cherishing of their cattle, sheep and horses, but these captives, who are very easy to obtain, have no mercy at all.
Young women who were raped in turn, old people who were used as punching bags to beat, scold and humiliate at will. And that's not all, after the above torture, he had to be marked with a red-hot iron on the door of his head to identify the slave.
Eventually, those who survived the torture were sent to the slave market, where they were picked up like cattle by the bought. After being bought, it was only the beginning of the slaves' tragic life, and they would be treated as cattle and horses to live an inhuman life, and they would die of disease and starvation in less than three or five years.
"What's the matter? You haven't seen the slaves sold by the Shenwu Army? It doesn't hurt to tell you, the Shenwu Army has not tasted a single defeat in the Western Regions, and there are more than 100,000 prisoners? With so many people eating, drinking, and Lazar, even if the Shenwu Army is rich, it can't take care of it, so why not jump out of the strong captives and sell them to the slave market, and still earn a considerable amount of military expenses?"
Guo Youming suddenly laughed, and said with a stalk around his neck:
"After all, I am the commander of an army, how can you be willing to sell me as a slave? It's not that you want to squeeze more value out of me, I advise you to save your efforts and do less useless work of lying and intimidating!"
The lieutenant stomped his foot angrily, pointed at Guo Youming's nose and scolded:
"This idiot, do you think that Lao Tzu will not dare to throw you into a slave camp? At that time, even if you beg grandpa to sue grandma, it will be useless!"
In fact, Guo Youming also has no bottom in his heart, but through his observation of words and expressions and his judgment of the basic situation, he came to the conclusion that even if Qin Jin does not pay attention to himself as a captive, I am afraid that he will not be treated like a cat or a dog, after all, his status is different, and the value he has is not the same.
Therefore, whether it is an ordinary soldier carrying a stretcher, or a lieutenant who is lying and intimidating, I am afraid that they are all acting in front of themselves!
At this time, the lieutenant seemed angry, but there was not much anger in his eyes, and the traces of acting were very obvious, and Guo Youming was even more convinced of his guess.
As soon as the lieutenant raised his hand, he summoned two strong Persians, and in addition to the Han Chinese, there were also a large number of tribal auxiliaries in the Shenwu army, among which the Sogdians and Persians were the majority.
With just a wave of his hand, the two Persians seemed to comprehend, picked up Guo Youming's collar, and headed in one direction.
Although Guo Youming is the chief general who leads the army, he is not a fighting man on the battlefield, in front of the two sturdy Persian men, like a little chicken, he has no power to fight back, so he can only protest in vain:
"What are you doing? You can't put me to death, I want to see the prime minister!"
The lieutenant sneered:
"Now I think of our soft-hearted prime minister, but unfortunately, the prime minister is entangled in everything, but he doesn't have much energy to pay attention to you, a guy who is not worth mentioning like a bug!"
"I want to see the prime minister, you can't treat me like this......"
Guo Youming is definitely not a broad person, otherwise he would not have shown his face and pretended to be seriously injured, in fact, he was sure that the generals of the Shenwu Army would not dare to be too difficult for the defeated generals of his identity.
However, everything has changed incredibly today, and the captain seems determined to lynch him for revenge.
After struggling for a while, he calmed down, maybe this is also part of the intimidation?
It is said that the military law in the Shenwu Army is strict, and violators are never spared punishment, and that captain dared to do such an outrageous thing, I am afraid that he was instructed by a certain big man.
In connection with the plight of the prime minister mentioned by one of the stretcher-carrying soldiers, there will be some gaffe in it, and they should use this series of intimidation as a means to make themselves soft.
Thinking of this, Guo Youming secretly sneered in his heart, if this is the case, he will look down on him too much, although he is not a great hero who shocks the past and the present, but he is still a person with some courage. Since he chose this thorny path and followed his brother to the dangerous Western Regions, he had long been mentally prepared to face danger.
However, when this courage was thrown into the slave camp himself, everything changed.
Even if he didn't tell him, Guo Youming could tell that this was a slave camp.
The so-called slave camp was full of brown-skinned, low-pitched aliens, who looked like they were plundered from the Tianzhu Kingdom.
The news of the Shenwu Army's conquest of the Tianzhu Kingdom had already spread throughout the Western Regions, and along with the news, there were also cheap slaves from the Tianzhu Kingdom to all parts of the Western Regions.
Of course, Guo Youming has also seen these ugly-looking foreign slaves.
However, he never imagined that he would one day fall into the same fate as these ugly people. At this time, there were almost no Chinese speakers around him, and they communicated with each other in Persian or Sogdian, which he did not understand.
Since entering the slave camp, the smell in the air seems to have changed, and the air is filled with an indescribable stench, as strange and unpleasant as the spices from the Tianzhu Kingdom.
Even more terrifying, many slaves are being branded a second time, which is a unique mark that the slave will be branded by the eventual slave owner in order to distinguish between them and their destination after they arrive at their destination.
Obviously, the slave owners of these slaves should be the Shenwu Army.
The scene he saw in front of him was very different from what Guo Youming imagined, as far as he knew, he had not heard of the precedent of the Shenwu Army using a large number of slaves in the Western Regions, but judging from this slave camp alone, it was at least tens of thousands of people.
In the midst of confusion and fear, a fierce god dressed in Sogdian clothing took him from the hands of two strong Persian men, also grabbed him by the collar, and threw him into the middle of a group of filthy slaves.
Many of the Tianzhu slaves looked at Guo Youming with a strange look, and it was the first time among them that they had been mixed into the Tang Dynasty. And the Tang people have always been an unattainable existence for them, and when they suddenly saw the Tang people who were as humble as their own identity, they felt incredible.
Some of the daring ones had already started pulling his hair and poking him in the face...... Satisfy your curiosity in this way.
