The wharf under Yanziji outside Jiankang City has long been cleared~ clean, and there is no trace of a bloody battle, but if you are careful, you can still find that the soil here is darker than the color of other places. And in those bushes, you may be able to inadvertently kick some broken arrows and remnants of soldiers, and the people have long been accustomed to it.

Not far from here, it was once the place where the navy under the jurisdiction of the Yangtze River System Division was stationed, and later became the Tartar sailor Dazhai, and in the battle that night, it was burned to the ground by Li Beihuai's soldiers. The great warships that once flaunted their might are now black ash scattered in the harbor, washed by the river onto the beach on the shore from time to time.

The land in this area was quite empty, and there were no naval forces available today, so Liu Yu, after consulting with the people in the city, used it to house the tens of thousands of enemy troops who had been captured. Due to the abundance of manpower, it did not take long to establish this camp, and now it is quite large, because it is well managed, and those who do not know it think that the newly recruited soldiers are located.

The number of prisoners in it is really a little more, all of which exceed the total number of remaining defenders in Jiankang City, so, at the beginning, how to place them has become a headache, Liu Yu combined some characteristics of the prisoner of war camp in later generations, coupled with the experience of this time and space, to come up with such a model.

All the more than 100 households~ were screened and escorted to other places, so that these people lost their previous leadership, and then completely disrupted their original structure, every group of ten, led by a veteran of the forbidden army, a total of more than 5,000 veterans were sent down, and these prisoners were managed.

The system in the battalion is very strict, far exceeding the original military discipline, one person who breaks the law and ten people sit together, in fact~ these ten people are tied together, and after the establishment is disrupted, the probability of ten people being concentric is almost zero. Coupled with strict food rations, everyone could only get less than half the usual amount of food, further reducing the chances of these captives rebelling.

Of course, there are not only these, everyone knows that these are strong men, and there will definitely be accidents when they are idle, so they have to be arranged all kinds of labor every day, and the main business of leading the forbidden army veterans is to distribute food and arrange these labors, and slowly, the captives found that as long as they work honestly, the Song people will not abuse and scold them, and then look at this completely unfamiliar terrain, and the patrol horses that gallop by from time to time outside the camp, they all extinguished the idea of escaping.

It was another hot morning, Xie Chenggui slowly followed the people in his team to the edge of the river, and a group of ten people lined up under the leadership of that Song soldier to wait for the daily morning class. He stood in the middle of the group, looking blankly at the river bay not far away, where the ten captives of the previous team were washing themselves naked, and a sense of shame could not help but rise.

Yes, their morning service was to wash themselves in river water, and since they had to work late every day, it was impossible for the camp to let them come to the river in the dark, so every day was this time, and as soon as the day dawned, they would be called up, lined up according to the river bank, and divided into hundreds of groups in turn, and from the scene it was quite spectacular.

Xie Chenggui thought at first that he could take advantage of this opportunity to slip away, but slowly, he found that instead of jumping into the river to gamble, it was better to stay in this camp, not to mention the bows and crossbowmen around him~ The crossbowmen, the cavalry in the distance blocked the land route, and on the river, the clippers of the Song people formed a semicircle over there, and even the soldiers in his team were staring at each other, for fear that one person would have an accident and affect others.

And the old man with them, he looks very arrogant on weekdays, but when he comes, the first sentence he says when he gathers them is "If you want to have a thief's heart, you might as well start as soon as possible, anyway, Lao Tzu's tablet also has ten of your heads in front of it, no loss, I am worried that my military merits are not enough to make a turn." After saying these words, he really didn't care about the actions of these people, but Xie Chenggui knew that with his ten guys who were usually tired and half defeated and never had enough to eat, they might not be able to get someone's life together.

The most infuriating thing is that even if you kill this old soldier, you don't want to find a weapon on him, all the forbidden soldiers here don't have any weapons except for a collar of leather armor on their bodies, and the only thing they can use is the leather whip on their waists, which was captured from the Tartars.

To put it bluntly, these people are the kind of foremen in the old society, and the reason why they are willing to do this errand is because Liu Yu said that if they are killed, then these ten captives under them will be considered their military merits, this is a real head, some old oilmen who are brave and bold, I wish these people had a thief's heart, anyway, as long as they save their lives, they will be properly an officer.

On the other hand, Liu Yu also strictly regulated the behavior of these people, and strictly forbade the deliberate abuse of prisoners, especially the random beating, scolding and corporal punishment, otherwise it would also be a violation of military law. As long as this big camp can be safe and secure, they are as meritorious as these old soldiers, and they can't take risks, in short, all kinds of measures have been taken for so long, and there has been no major chaos.

However, on the wooden fence in front of the camp gate, there are still some human heads that have been pecked by birds and cannot be recognized, and these are either accused of inciting to flee or being punished for violating discipline. Xie Chenggui recognized one of them, that person was a personal soldier under his Lao Tzu, and the reason for being beheaded was to rob the food of his teammates, Xie Chenggui was relieved to see that he was killed, because he recognized himself.

The sun had not yet risen in the early morning, although it was so hot that he slept sweating in that sultry camp, but he was suddenly drenched by the river water, Xie Chenggui couldn't help but shiver, he was different from the ordinary soldier, he grew up in Fugui Township since he was a child, and his complexion was whiter than others, so he did not hesitate to use mud and other things to stain himself, so as to make himself look less special.

Xie Chenggui cursed in his heart that the person who came up with this idea was too poisonous, and it was impossible to hide something if he wanted to hide something every day. He didn't know that Liu Yu's original intention of coming up with this idea was just to fear that the camp would be too dirty and cause epidemics, and once the weather was hot, it would not be a joke if an epidemic occurred in the Jiangnan area.

Quickly washed his body, Xie Chenggui put on his clothes and stood back in the team honestly, for fear of attracting attention, he acted very carefully, neither delaying nor outstanding, Rao is so, he still feels that the eyes of the old soldier of the Song Dynasty seem to be particularly focused on him, which makes his heart furious.

His current name is a cronie who died in the city, claiming to be Xie Ruji's personal soldier, because he has not often appeared in the military camp since the Southern Expedition, so there are not many people in the army who know him, and most of the people who know him are his father's personal soldiers, and it is not very likely that he will betray himself, so he dares to stay in such an impostor.

After washing, the old man took them back to the barracks for breakfast, because they had to work, this meal was more than usual, and the so-called more was just a little thicker in the rare porridge. But these people all know that they don't know when the next meal will be, and no one talks much, and they all drink their own portions.

Huang Yong was in a good mood today, he took his subordinates to the prison where the thousand-level prisoners were held early in the morning, but when he checked the roster, he found that there were almost half of the people missing, and when he asked the reason, it was caused by the epidemic, Huang Yong personally checked it, and most of the few people were generals of the new attached army.

He saw the name of Lu Wenhuan, this person was specially explained by Chen Yizhong before leaving Beijing, and in their plan, this person will build a bridge between the imperial court and the Yuan people. And now, he is actually dead, and when asked about the whereabouts of his body, what Huang Yong heard was that it was difficult to preserve it in the heat, the body had been burned, and the head was taken to show the public.

Huang Yong didn't ask anything more, he keenly felt that something was unusual, and just walked around the prison seemingly casually, especially going to the room where Lu Wenhuan was originally held. Although there was no movement on his face, he already had a big question in his heart, he knew some medical skills, there was no epidemic here at all, they were lying!

Since it wasn't from the epidemic, then we have to ask why, there aren't many people here, but after checking in a moment, Huang Yong carefully interrogated the two highest-ranking Wanhu Xie Ruji and Yan Che'er in the prison, and after confirming their identities, he left here with people.

There is nothing unusual about those officers of more than 100 households who are locked up in the forbidden army camp in the city, Huang Yong checked them one by one, and he has already determined the success of this victory in his heart, and there should be no lie on the good news, and when he came to the ordinary soldier camp with the people, he was completely shocked by the scene here.

There were more than 50,000 people imprisoned here, and the large camp stretched for hundreds of miles, and his subordinates were led to the camps everywhere, and they would count them separately and then summarize them, while Huang Yong himself walked around with a few retinues behind his back, occasionally stopping to talk to someone.

No one noticed that Xie Chenggui's face had changed a little, and his legs and feet were a little trembling, he didn't expect that the person who came to this camp to check the roster was actually the Wang scribe who was in charge of registration in the city before, although Xie Chenggui thought that his current appearance was completely different from that time, but he was still very worried about being recognized.

He knew that the city was arresting him early in the morning, unlike other captives, and once he was found out, he couldn't believe that the people in charge of the city would spare him. Xie Chenggui's mind turned rapidly, and he saw the official of the Song people not far away, this was a high-ranking official, Xie Chenggui lowered his head, but his eyes quietly looked over there.

Huang Yong asked people in detail about the management of these captives, because he found that these people were very clean, except that they looked a little weak, their appearance was no different from ordinary village warriors, which made him a little interested, and just wanted to find a prisoner to talk to, he saw a person not far away glaring at him.

"Back to the nobles, the little ones have a heart." Xie Chenggui didn't know his official title, so he had to learn the name of the Northland, Huang Yong looked at him suspiciously, the two entourages around him were on guard, Xie Chenggui spread his hands and signaled that he didn't take anything, the movement in their place was a little big, and the people around looked at him.

The old man who led the team in front didn't know what was going on, and when he looked back, he found that it was someone in his team, and the Wang scribe who was checking the roster raised his head, and happened to see the side face of Cheng Gui, he felt that this person was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered, and at this time, Huang Yong had already waved back and stood with the person.

"Be careful!" The Wang scribe shouted out in a hurry, and the people around him were stunned when they heard it, Xie Chenggui turned around abruptly, and walked around behind him from Huang Yong, who was stunned, and without waiting for the two entourages to pounce, a hand knife hit Huang Yong's neck, helped his body as a shield, and slowly retreated to the side of the military tent.
