"Humph! Did the commander of your division personally order you to attack Lord Zhao Hu? The civil official said coldly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Juan subconsciously shook his head, he was just a captain, how could it be possible to let the division commander give an order in person? I received an order from the wing commander, although I knew that this was the intention of the division commander, but who dared to ask the division commander.

However, seeing the fierce look of the civil official, a flash of inspiration flashed in Yu An's mind, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, it was the division commander who personally ordered us to sneak attack the major." ”

The civil official showed a satisfied look and continued to ask: "Is it because Lord Zhao Hu discovered the smuggling behavior of the division commander and the provincial governor because the division commander came to attack Lord Zhao Hu, in order to kill people and kill people?" ”

With a decision, Yu An immediately nodded, in order to save his life, he didn't care why the provincial governor and the division commander would find trouble with a little major, that is, the other party said that the division commander wanted to be the emperor, he would also nod and say yes, anyway, the other party would say whatever he said, this is the way to save his life.

Seeing what he said about what the captain of the brigade should be captured, the civil official quickly recorded it with satisfaction, and after a while, a confession proving that the head of the division and the provincial governor had betrayed the country and even rebelled appeared.

As for whether Juan's doing this will affect his family? This, unless participating in the rebellion, the families of soldiers are very safe.

All the soldiers in the Imperial Army were called up nationwide and then assigned to the various units as needed, which meant that the army itself did not have the right to recruit, so no one would know where the soldiers' families were, except for the archives of the military department.

The local garrison divisions also have regular numbers, and the names of the provinces are their numbers.

This was done to prevent a rebellion, and as you can imagine, the results were very obvious, and in the history of the Empire, there was no Imperial Army with a regular number to participate in the rebellion.

Even if the officers hold high the flag of rebellion, the soldiers whose family information is in the hands of the empire will not participate for the safety of their families.

Therefore, the rebellions in the history of the empire were either slave riots or nobles relying on private soldiers to rebel, and the harm caused was pitiful.

If the empire had maintained a unified distribution of troops and a firm grip on soldiers' family information, it was believed that a large-scale rebellion would never have happened.

Juan, who was busy with this, thought that it was all right, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, the civil official said: "According to our regulations, the ransom for ordinary soldiers is five gold coins, and the ransom is doubled for each level of rank, and according to your rank of major, you need to pay a ransom of 1,280 gold coins. ”

"By the way, there is also a ransom for the position, ten gold coins for the captain, fifty gold coins for the squad leader, one hundred and fifty coins for the squadron leader, and two hundred for the captain, for a total of 1,480 gold coins."

Juan was dumbfounded, he was neither a general nor a nobleman, just a small major captain, how could he ask for a ransom of nearly 1,500 yuan?

According to the popular rules of the mainland, doesn't a small character like himself ask for a ransom of two to three times his salary? For a major like himself, at most one or two hundred gold coins will do.

Although he had a lot of opinions about the ransom that obviously violated the popular regulations of the mainland, Juan didn't dare to show it, but said very embarrassed: "My lord, I don't have so much money at all, even if I sell my family, I can't get so much ransom." ”

Juan was telling the truth.

The monthly salary of a private in the Imperial Army is a gold coin, and you can know how high the value of a gold coin is.

Although Juan also has a territory, he doesn't know where this territory is, only that it is a desert area, and there is no income at all, if it weren't for his good luck, the territory was not placed on the enemy's border, I'm afraid this major would have been unable to be a long time ago.

The civil official smiled: "It doesn't matter, I know that you are poor, so our lord specially stipulates that you can use three years of labor to pay the ransom, including food and shelter, it can be said that the opportunity is rare." ”

"Also, if you are faithful, you will receive a salary, although the salary is very small, but do not forget your captivity, this is a special case, knowing that if you cannot pay the ransom, we can sell you as slaves."

"Yes, my lord is wise." Juan immediately nodded, anyway, he knew that it would not end well if he went back, so he had the heart to take refuge, so he agreed without any burden. At the same time, Juan also asked a little curiously, "My lord, I don't know how those people in front of me choose?" ”

The civil official said with a smile: "I believe you also know the net worth of your subordinates, how do you think they will choose?" ”

Yu An was silent, if his subordinates had money, they wouldn't have to join the army, and they wouldn't have to run to carry out this kind of task that would be wiped out nine times out of ten.

On the one hand, he handed over a huge ransom, otherwise he would be sold as a slave, and on the other hand, he was covered with food and labor for three years, and I believe that fools know which side to choose.

After interrogating all the captives, a few were somewhat reluctant because their brothers had been killed in battle, while others accepted the conditions of three years' hard labor without saying a word. In this way, Kang privately not only easily obtained a confession, but also received nearly a thousand imperial soldiers who served him.

As for whether this kind of prisoner of the Imperial soldiers will cause trouble? Please, the head of the Snake Garrison Division and the provincial governor of Haiquan Province are eating dry rice? They won't let this matter be exposed, so as long as Zhao Hu doesn't say anything, even if someone knows, they will not know.

Dio carried the confessions signed and fingerprinted by nearly a thousand captives, and took Locke, Luo Fei, two strong men and a dozen or so personal guards, like an outing, and rode into Haiquan Province comfortably.

The Governor of Peter and the Commander of the Kate Division were gathering in the provincial capital to wait for news, and Peter couldn't help but say, "What's the matter with them? It's already noon, and according to their combat strength, it won't take long to end the battle, and even if they rest for a day, they should have rushed back a long time ago, right? Why hasn't there been any news after so many days? ”

Kate touched her chin: "I also think it's strange, it's empty all the way, there is no market at all, even if they seize a large number of gold coins, there is no place to use it, and there are no women in Zhao Hu's gang, why are those rabbit cubs so rubbing?" ”

"Say, will there be any problems?" Peter hesitated.

"What's the problem? You don't mean my men will be defeated, are you? Just Zhao Hu's hundreds of people? Will he be able to destroy my two brigades? Kate sneered.

Peter said with a heavy face: "Perhaps, these days, I have carefully inquired into the details of Zhao Hu, only to know that he led a large group of men and horses, and after defeating the two thousand grassland cavalry that attacked him before, he crossed the prairie and returned to the empire. ”

"When I returned to the empire, there were still about 300 people in the brigade under my command, such a tough guy, you can't take it lightly."

"Really? That guy is so tough? ”

Kate's eyes widened, and he slapped his thigh when he saw Peter's affirmative nod.

"Damn it! Aren't my two brigades meat buns beating dogs and never returning? I knew that Lao Tzu would have sent him two wings! ”

Peter suddenly remembered something, and asked nervously, "Are your two brigades dead?" ”

"Joke! How can a regular soldier with a monthly salary be a dead soldier? What do you mean by that? Kate said dissatisfied.

"Oops! Zhao Hu will definitely find out their identity! Peter shouted.

Kate was unimpressed.

"What about discovery? Does he still want to sue? Don't worry, I've been prepared for a long time, I have sent people to guard all the checkpoints in Haiquan Province, it was just a precaution, but I didn't expect to use it instead, I sent all veterans, and I will never let Zhao Hu spread the news! ”

Peter sneered: "Zhao Hu's territory is close to the best smuggling dock, aren't you afraid that he will take the sea route?" ”

"The boat didn't go much?"

Kate said so, but looking at his expression, she knew that he was also starting to get nervous, and I saw him pacing back and forth a few steps.

"You say we won't admit it, can we hide from it?"

"Hey, death doesn't admit it? We admit that it's useless to admit it, as long as Zhao Hu pokes the matter up, those people above who are jealous of our position will definitely die! They wished we had a problem. Piku said angrily.

"Damn! So what do we do now? ”

Kate felt that she was now like a trapped beast, although she had a force of more than 80,000 people, and these subordinates were also obedient to herself, but this obedience refers to things other than rebellion, and disobedience can also be regarded as rebellion.

If you lose the trust from above, you can send yourself to the gallows with just one order, and then all the glory and wealth will be in vain.

"Don't ask me, I don't know what to do!" Peter said angrily.

He is annoyed now, he knew that he had directly arrested Zhao Hu and cut him directly on a charge, or he should have been friendly to Zhao Hu and pulled him into the gang, and it would not be as troublesome as it is now.

It is no wonder that these two people are suddenly so anxious, although the two of them have taken refuge in the big people, held Haiquan Province in their hands, and made money, but they have one of their biggest shortcomings - they are not nobles.

Although they did not have the status of nobles, they made a lot of money for the backers, but they were among the people under the backers. It's just a small role, and even if you get more money for your backers, these people are not as useful as an idiot baron who doesn't have any ability.

Only the aristocracy is the foundation of the empire, and only the nobility can decide who the throne will be, ordinary people? While going cool.
