13 Slaves and slaves

Mu Rong still rode his horse slowly towards Xianglian, who fell in the snow, while Mu Zage began to deal with these captured rogues, according to the Liao army's habit of dealing with captured people in the past, the seriously injured were generally killed on the spot, and the captured people who were not injured or lightly injured were escorted by the Liao army to be bitter slaves. The so-called bitter slave www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is to be a coolie slave for the Liao people.

Although bitter slaves and lowly slaves are both slaves, there is a difference, and generally speaking, bitter slaves have a lower status than lowly slaves, and their work is harder.

Cheap slaves generally serve their masters, do things for their masters' families, and are used for pleasure by their masters. One level higher than the cheap slave is the domestic slave, that is, the slaves and servants of the generally wealthy families.

For example, if the emperor wants to build a palace, in addition to the need for skilled craftsmen, a large number of slaves are needed to do coolies, and the cost of using slaves is very low.

To put it simply: "The difference between a bitter slave and a lowly slave is that a bitter slave is generally sold as a coolie, and it is a coolie used to build all kinds of projects for the royal family, an official family or a large family." The betrayal of a slave is a service, a service to his master." The similarity is that both bitter slaves and cheap slaves are unpaid laborers, and they are both cheap and have no right to protect their lives; That is to say, it is normal for a slave to be killed, exhausted, and starved to death while doing coolies, just like the master beats a slave to death, and no one needs to be held responsible.

Of course, generally speaking, the life of a lowly slave is slightly better than that of a bitter slave, and the lifespan is longer than that of a bitter slave. Because the management of the bitter slaves is generally the responsibility of soldiers or samurai thugs of large families, and the management of the lowly slaves is their masters. In other words, even if the slave pleases the thugs who manage them, they only suffer a few lashes, and they still have to work hard for their lives.

Because of the pressure of time to complete the work, the coolies were exhausted to death, beaten to death by the overseers, and crushed to death by boulders during the work. The lowly slave is different, if the lowly slave can please the master, he can work less, or even no work.

Although the status of servants and slaves is also very low, and there is no right to life, but the master kills the servant or the slave and the slave is somewhat worried, after all, many times, there is also affection between the master and the slave. In addition, the servant or slave and maid work for the master, and the servant or slave can redeem himself if he has money, and he will be free.

As for the bitter slaves and cheap slaves who want to get rid of the fate of slaves, in addition to relying on the emperor's **** or the queen mother's pardon, the only opportunity is to make military merits. Only by making military merits can you get rid of the status of slaves. If bitter slaves and lowly slaves want to go to the battlefield to make military achievements, they must be admitted to the status of war slaves.

Of course, it is not easy to take the war slave exam, generally four to five coolie slaves can be admitted to a war slave, and being a war slave not only has to be physically strong, but also has a good mental quality. Comparatively speaking, a slave with certain technical specialties is more likely to be admitted to the war slave.

In addition, many other slaves do not want to be war slaves, the reason is very simple, in fact, when war slaves go to the battlefield, war slaves are death squads, and after a war, war slaves will be killed or injured at least half, or more, or even all casualties.

Of course, it is also very attractive for slaves who have no right to life and will lose their lives at any time. First of all, when you are a war slave and injured in battle on the battlefield, and when you come back from injury, you can get rid of the status of a slave and become an ordinary grass people.

If you come back alive after killing the enemy, you will make military merits, and the military exploits of war slaves are the same as those of ordinary soldiers, and they are all rewarded according to merit, but it is generally said that war slaves have made their first military merits, and first of all, you will be exempted from the status of slaves, so that you can become an ordinary soldier.

Now the captured rogues are arranged into three destinies, the best is a cheap slave, who needs to be young, needs to be clear-eyed, and at least needs to let the master not hate his appearance. The second gear is a coolie, and even needs to be healthy and have the strength to work. As for the third gear, there are those injured rogues, and what awaits them is the fate of death.

According to the Liao army's principle of dealing with wounded prisoners of war in the past, it was to kill them on the spot. After all, wounded prisoners of war are a burden, and it is useless to stay, and there is a waste of food; If you abandon it, you will be unwilling. I fought to the death on the battlefield, and now I won't let you go back because you are injured, there is no such good thing in the world.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, they are killed on the spot or buried alive, so as to save trouble and vent the anger of their own injured soldiers.

Today, too, Muzag singled out the uninjured and lightly injured prisoners, a total of more than 40 people, and more than 30 people who were seriously injured or seriously injured.

Mu Rong rode his horse slowly towards Xianglian, while Mu Zag was dealing with the captured rogue. Today, Muzhag dealt with the wounded Liukou slightly differently than in the past, in the past, it was usually slaughtered by the Liao army himself, but today Muzhag changed the rules of the game.

Perhaps today's Liao soldiers are veterans of the battlefield, who have already killed people like hemp, and have little interest in slaughtering prisoners who have been injured and have no ability to resist. Generally, the massacre of wounded prisoners of war is done by recruits, the purpose is to train recruits to deal with blood, so that they can better adapt to the cruel environment of the battlefield.

Today, Muzhag said to the prisoners who were not injured: "Today, the commander will give you bitter slaves a chance to be war slaves, as long as any of you can kill more than three injured rogues in a row, you will have the status of war slaves, and the commander will organize those who have the status of war slaves into the heroic Great Liao Iron Army, and give them the opportunity to make contributions in the future."

These rogues originally came out together, but now they are all captured fate, but the difference is between being injured and not being injured. Now let those who are not injured slaughter the injured comrades, and most of the uninjured rogues can't do it, so they are silent.

Xianglian, who fell on the snow, saw the Liao girl Mu Rong riding her horse over, she wanted to get up, but just after falling hard, Xianglian also fell so that her back hurt, and she couldn't get up for a while. At this time, Uncle Ku took the Xiangcheng warriors to Xianglian's side, but when they saw Mu Rong coming, they were intimidated by Mu Rong's terrifying momentum and didn't dare to come closer.

Mu Rong rode to Xianglian, and when she saw that she was still lying on the snow, she jumped off the horse, walked in front of Xianglian, stretched out her jade hand and gently held Xianglian's cheek, and said in a light tone: "You are Xiangcheng and his daughter"?

Xianglian felt a breath of death that suffocated herself, and the other party pinched her chin jade hand, cold, very powerful, although she felt that the other party's fingers did not use any internal force, but her jaw was still faintly painful.

Xiang Lian understood that the other party's fingers seemed to be weak and slender, but in fact they were as hard as iron claws, and it was easy to crush her chin with the strength of the other party's fingers. Looking at the other party's cold eyes, Xianglian nodded helplessly. Mu Rong said again: "What's your name?"
