Chapter 188: Exploitation
"How many soldiers are in your camp today?"
Jiang Dengyi, the deputy general of the soldiers and horses of Longmen Mountain, arrived in the Yongzi camp, slapped the horse whip on the table, and opened his mouth to ask.
Wang Yong, the head of the Qingzi Battalion, crossed his arms and did not speak with a calm face.
In the past few months, every time there is a war, a few deserters have to be killed to sacrifice the flag.
The deserters were all strong men who were forcibly recruited and captured from the local area, and Wang Yong was a native of Longmen Mountain, so he was very disgusted by this.
These strong men were all laborers of the family, and when it was time to plough, they were taken to the barracks, and there was no one to do the work in the family.
However, the grain to be handed over to the Jiang family has not decreased in the slightest compared with previous years, and the old and weak women and children in the family can only be forced to work in the fields.
Not to mention what they did, as soon as these people came out and were exposed to the fields, they became the targets of looting and humiliation by the Mongol soldiers and the private soldiers of the Chiang family.
The people were forced to have no choice, either the strong men fled, or the old and weak women and children took advantage of the moonlight to farm in the middle of the night.
And there is no good end at all if you escape, they are all registered, and if you run away, they will find your family, take the family together, and torture to death.
Such tyranny is all suppressed by force, and there are no complaints in the army.
In fact, many people were quite dissatisfied, but the Mongols had already arrived, and they did not have the strength to compete with the Mongols.
Even Jiang Chucai, in front of the Mongols, could not raise his head and was forced to grovel.
Originally, they were allies with the Mongols, and the Mongol generals at all levels were still very polite to the Jiang family, but in several offensives in the Hedong New Year, they were beaten too badly by Li Xin, and the Mongols slowly gave birth to the idea of contempt.
In the desert, the strong are kings, and mercy and sympathy are non-existent.
Benevolence and righteousness are a joke, and they are even seen as a sign of cowardice and deception, and the way of the jungle is the way of the Mongols.
"There is not a single deserter in my battalion."
"No?" Jiang Deng glanced at Wang Yong dissatisfied, and said secretly in his heart, if it weren't for your ability to fight, Lao Tzu would have killed you a long time ago.
"If you don't, go out and catch a few, it's really not good, I'll just pick a few sacrificial flags from the recruits in the battalion."
It's not unreasonable that he is so brutal, the worse he treats the recruits, the more he dies and the more he escapes. If you escape, you can kill them again, so that generals at all levels can receive empty salaries.
Drinking the blood of soldiers and eating the flesh of soldiers is nothing more than this.
The Jiang family's own descendants have all surrendered to Mongolia, and there is still no face to restrain the people below, and the entire army is full of violent emotions.
Countless ordinary soldiers, under this layer of mountains, are full of hatred.
After Jiang Deng finished speaking, he left, turned around before leaving, and sneered.
The meaning of the threat is already expressed nakedly.
Wang Yong closed his eyes and sighed, his subordinates in the tent were full of despair.
"This battle... How long is it going to be hit. ”
---
Bianliang, Chen's house.
Chen Shou came back from outside, took off his clothes, and lay comfortably on the carved Arhat couch.
Liu Er helped him take off his coat, squatted down and knelt on the blanket, removed his shoes and socks, and found that the boots were full of mud, and he was dirty and stepped on the carpet, and he was not distressed, so he quickly asked: "Master, where did you go, there is mud on your shoes." ”
Chen Shou picked up a grape casually, and Tao'er quickly snatched it and said, "Master hasn't washed his hands yet." ”
After speaking, he picked the seeds with a toothpick, peeled off the skin, and sent the pulp to Chen Shou's mouth.
"Is Madame back?"
"I'm back, Mrs. Su is also back, and I brought a middle-aged woman and walked around the yard before leaving." Liu Er is a little gossip, and there are her gambling friends in every courtyard in the house, and she is the most well-informed.
Tao'er is different, concentrating on serving Chen Shou, hiding in the water pavilion in her spare time, arranging and tidying up her hut, and then resting and sleeping.
Chen Shou was taken aback, these two people won't the Queen Mother brought it, thinking of Li Lingyue's temperament, she really did it.
Now that Su Qiongzhi is back, he said that he would go and see it himself, and it is estimated that he will not be in a bad mood, this thing is like this, gritted his teeth and saw the first meeting, and it will be fine in the future.
Although I have been separated for many years, I haven't even seen him since I was sensible, after all, I am a mother and daughter, and I am connected by blood.
Chen Shou patted Tao'er and said, "Fetch me a pair of boots, I'm going to go out." ”
Liu Er raised her eyes and asked, "Leaving again?" ”
Chen Shou only changed into a pair of boots, wore home underwear, and it was not very cold when he came to the yard.
came to the small courtyard that he had vacated for Su Qiongzhi, opened the curtain and went in, only to see that Lu'er was also there.
Su Qiongzhi was crooked in the bathtub, watching Lu'er take clothes in front of the cabinet, Shen'er sat behind her, and helped them staff while rubbing the bath, saying that this is not good and that is not wanted, Lu'er patiently accompanied her for a long time, and muttered: "I don't know if the master will come at night, what is it to toss people so much." There is no reason to buy so many clothes, and people are picky. ”
Finally, he finally picked out a set of small clothes as thin as cicada wings, and picked out a very bright and obscene rose-colored small belly pocket, and Lu'er smiled again: "This dress is so good, hehe, when did Mrs. buy it." ”
Seeing Chen Shou come in, she shouted happily: "Madam, the master is here." ”
Su Qiongzhi just wanted to scold Lu'er, but when she saw Chen Shou coming in, the arrogance on her face was gone, she was well-behaved and lovely with a smile, put her hand on the bath bucket, held her chin and said, "You're here!" ”
Chen Shou sat by the bathtub, took the handkerchief from Shen'er's hand, rubbed it lightly for her, and asked, "How is it?" ”
"Thank you..."Su Qiongzhi looked at Chen Shou and said softly, "Thank you for taking care of my mother and saving her." ”
Chen Shou didn't speak, smiled lightly, scooped a spoonful of warm water, and poured it on her jade back.
Lu'er held the small clothes in her hand, obsessively entangled in front of Chen Shou, and said with a smile: "Master, look at this." ”
Chen Shou glanced at it, and he felt extremely tempted when he didn't wear it on people, and couldn't help laughing: "You can wear it for me in a while." ”
Su Qiongzhi bit her lip and hummed, got up and dried herself, desecrated her clothes on the boat, and asked Shen'er to make tea.
Pendant brought a cup of tea, Chen Shou saw that she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, her eyebrows were clear and her eyes were beautiful, especially the earlobes were red and shining, like a pendant, no wonder she was called a pendant.
Reaching out and pinching it on Shen'er's little buttocks, Chen Shou smiled: "Why haven't I seen this little girl before?" ”
"I was raised in the house, and I was only so little when I bought it, and I didn't look good. I didn't expect that the bigger and bigger the water spirit, I saw that she was handsome, and her appearance was strange and painful, but it seemed like a blessed person who served you later, so she brought Bianliang. ”
She knew that Chen Shou had always liked delicate and tender breasts, so she almost lost her bust and sat on Chen Shou's lap and let him play with it for a while.
Lu'er was on the side and said with a smile: "I have been the best with Shen'er since childhood." ”
Chen Shou touched the top of her head dotingly, and said, "Since it is your little friend, I must love her well." ”
After speaking, she took out a small pendant from her sleeve and hung it around the neck, and the little girl quickly got up to kowtow to thank her.
Chen Shou grabbed her and said, "Go to the back kitchen and ask for something to eat, don't leave Lu'er, I'll sleep here tonight." ”
