Chapter 1536: Conquest of the Empire (32)

One meal minimized the resistance in the nervous Zhou Xiang's heart, and as the organization was completed and the slave camp officials read out the rules, Zhou Xiang was even more pleasantly surprised to find that his slave, except that he had no freedom, no vacation and no salary, seemed to be no different from when he was a domestic servant.

As for what the slave officials said that they could get out of slavery if they behaved well, few people in the entire slave camp would believe it. Because this kind of trick of hanging a radish in front of the donkey and luring it to hurry can even be used skillfully by a peasant woman in the countryside, who do you say would believe this kind of pie in the sky?

However, Zhou Xiang's joy did not last long, because then he understood that although the treatment was good, a slave was a slave.

First of all, there are stricter disciplines than the army, and these disciplines cannot be violated, because once violated, they will either be whipped half to death or directly executed.

Then there was the heavy and dangerous labor, and it was not until this moment that Zhou Xiang suddenly realized, no wonder Zhao Hujun dared to trumpet that Zhao Hujun's people did not need to serve labor, and dared to let us slaves do it for us.

Originally, Zhou Xiang couldn't bear so much labor, and the mentality of escaping sprouted again, and most slaves did not dare to run away because of family problems, but Zhou Xiang, who was born as an orphan, did not have such concerns.

But the treatment of the full meal made him in a dilemma, Zhou Xiang deserved to be a clever person, he didn't think about whether he could escape, but thought about what he would encounter if he escaped.

Don't think about it, it must be captured by other warlords as cannon fodder, not to mention whether they can eat enough at that time, and even give their lives in the first battle.

In such a comparison, the idiot also knows what to choose. Zhou Xiang is smarter than an idiot, and of course chooses what is beneficial to himself.

Speaking of which, humans are really a very cheap creature, the more they are protected, the more vulnerable they are, they can wither and waste with a little damage, and the more they are destroyed, the stronger they become, and they can thrive and grow without paying attention to them.

With the support of the full meal manager, Zhou Xiang finally survived the hard work in the first period of time, and then slowly became accustomed to it, when the muscles of the whole body were as strong as stones, Zhou Xiang did not think that the current work was hard.

It's just that although Zhou Xiang still fantasizes about freedom now, after all, slaves have such treatment, even the treatment of untouchables who are one level higher than slaves should be better than slaves. But because I haven't seen how these pariahs are treated, this kind of seduction is not intense.

Slowly, Zhou Xiang thought that he would spend his life as a slave like this, he was completely accustomed to this kind of life of hard work, food, clothing, and a house to sleep, and now he was kicked out of the slave camp, and he was unwilling, because he didn't know how to settle his life.

The consequence of not using the brain for a long time is that the brain becomes dull.

Just when Zhou Xiang was a little inclined towards the walking dead, a thunderclap woke him up.

At a general assembly, the officials of the slave camp read out a list of slaves, and at that time they thought that these slaves would be punished for committing crimes, but they did not expect the officials to announce that they had been separated from slavery and become pariahs because of their outstanding performance, and some of the best ones had actually become commoners!

Zhou Xiang was stunned to watch the slaves happily receive the rank badges, then quickly freshen up, put on brand new clothes and wear the badges, and finally went to attend the farewell party held for them by the officials with a reserved face.

Zhou Xiang didn't know what other people thought, he only knew that his eyes were red with jealousy, and he was so remorseful that he wanted to take off his head and kick it a few times!

Idiot yourself! How do you remember to eat and work and sleep tired, whether you are an animal or something?

Don't believe the words of the officials?! If I had behaved a lot some time ago, I would have had my own place at this banquet now!

I guess everyone thinks the same, when those freshly baked freedmen leave the camp, there is not a single idle figure in the entire slave camp, and everyone is working hard.

I just know that this kind of promotion is only once a year, and everyone has not lowered their enthusiasm, because there is no quota for this promotion, which means that as long as the whole camp behaves well, it is possible for the whole camp to cancel the slave status!

Just when everyone was busy, another louder thunder sounded in Zhou Xiang's ears. Zhao Hujun will select a certain amount of soldiers from among the slaves!

Everyone in Zhao Hujun's sphere of influence knows that Zhao Hujun is definitely synonymous with glory and wealth! In Zhao Hu's army, even if he died in battle, he could earn a generous pension, not to mention the reward he received for his meritorious service.

The most important point is that only when you become a soldier can you have the opportunity to kill three enemy heads, and three meritorious deeds are the basic requirements for promotion to the people.

Citizenship! As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Xiang's saliva flowed, which represented twenty acres of Yongye land.

Zhou Xiang knew very well that as soon as the news was conveyed, the entire slave camp was boiling, because the blood in his body was already hot.

Immediately after the slave camp officials announced that there were only 100 places in the camp, the atmosphere in the camp first froze rapidly, and then a dark cloud appeared and an anxious atmosphere permeated the sky above the slave camp, and Zhou Xiang knew that the others had become very anxious like himself.

If it weren't for the rule of execution for those who murder their companions, I'm afraid that the beating of the sticks would have been carried out immediately.

Looking at his strong muscles and strong strength, Zhou Xiang was a little nervous, because his ability was not among the top 100 in the battalion, and it seemed that there was no hope this time.

As a result, as Zhou Xiang thought, he fell off the list, but he was not like others who grabbed the sky and the earth, but secretly rejoiced.

The hundred most powerful people in the battalion were picked away, and his current strength is definitely one of the best, even if he selects ten people next time, he is sure that he will be selected, hey, as long as he waits for a while, he can realize his dream, so I don't believe that Zhao Hujun will not need to expand the army in the future.

Zhou Xiang worked hard like this, while desperately forging chains, while waiting stupidly, when he finally waited for the news that Zhao Hujun recruited a warlord, destroyed a warlord, and annexed three warlords, Zhou Xiang jumped for joy, the territory has become so big, it must need more troops to control, and his opportunity has come.

Unfortunately, the conscription order did not come, but tens of thousands of able-bodied slaves were brought into the camp.

The increase in the number of people made the administrators of the slave camp insufficient, and Zhou Xiang and these old men naturally served as small leaders equivalent to the captain of the army.

Zhou Xiang didn't have any joy about this, one is that this is not an official position, even if he is in charge of a thousand people, he is still a slave, and he has to salute when he sees a commoner, so there is nothing to be happy about.

The second is that there are at least hundreds of goods among the tens of thousands of newcomers who can compete with themselves, and there are three of them in his team alone, and he only has four subordinates.

Just when Zhou Xiang had been suffering from gains and losses for a long time, the old and weak women and children of the slave camp suddenly packed up their luggage and retreated to the hinterland of Zhao Hujun's territory, while their young and strong slaves began to be organized.

Why weird? Quite simply, the rank is a first-class soldier, but the status level that can be hung is the badge of a low-ranking strong samurai.

The slaves who still looked down on this first-class soldier were immediately respectful, and Zhou Xiang even gave the three fools in his army who only had strength a few kicks to let them stand up.

Zhou Xiang, who has re-nimbled his brain because of his pursuit, is familiar with all the information he can access, so that the low-ranking and high-ranking soldiers are all the cronies of the Overseer, and slighting them is tantamount to looking for death.

The captain didn't have any nonsense, and said: "The enemy has invaded, and you have been put into reserve." ā€

So they gave each of them a spear.

At first, everyone was a little sluggish, but the captain didn't know what to think of and shouted, "Listen! In this battle, the merits you have established are treated the same as those of the regular army, and whether Lao Tzu can be promoted depends on your performance! ā€

Zhou Xiang, who was holding the spear, was excited when he heard this, but he didn't expect the opportunity that he had been waiting for for a long time to come, and immediately shouted: "Serve the adult!" ā€

With him as an example, the other slaves who had just come to their senses immediately shouted their praise! They all know what kind of life they will live in the future, and it depends on how well they sell their lives this time.

Walking on the road, Zhou Xiang, who was holding a knife on his waist and a spear in the other, couldn't help but praise himself for his cleverness, when he was the first to cater to the captain's words, let the captain notice him, and when he set off, the captain actually gave himself a machete in return.

There are more short weapons on the battlefield, which is definitely an important foundation for saving lives and making meritorious contributions.

A slightly thin slave ran over panting with a spear in tow: "Captain, my subordinates have heard the news from the captain's personal guard, the enemy of this invasion is the warlord of Haiquan Province, and the Overseer has mobilized nearly four brigades to meet the attack. ā€

"Okay, dog, you're a good guy, you do have a set of inquiring about the news!" Zhou Xiang was very happy to praise one of his subordinates.

This slave who is about the same age as himself and has been affected by the master's family like himself, Zhou Xiang inevitably regards him as his former self, so he will take care of this slave uncontrollably.

Zhou Xiang saw that the regular army was still rushing forward, so he couldn't help but send a dog baby to investigate around, and found that all the slave soldiers who stayed in this area were slave soldiers who belonged to the logistics establishment.

Looking at this slave soldier who couldn't see the edge, Zhou Xiang secretly smacked his tongue.

How many people have been degraded by this Zhao Hujun to become slaves! So many slaves gathered together and not afraid that someone would incite a riot? Now all slaves have weapons!

It's just that Zhou Xiang immediately dispelled this very dangerous idea.
