Chapter 180: The Prisoner of War Problem (Part II)
"I've seen the envoy!" Liu Bei and others came in and saw Ma Qiang hurriedly saluting, Ma Qiang helped everyone to say, "You have worked hard in this battle, especially Huang Zhiyuan, this battle is a great achievement!" ”
Gongsun Zan on the side was faintly resentful in his heart, if he hadn't found the wrong team, Cheng Zhiyuan's head should be his.
No, we have to find another battle merit, by the way, and Zhang Chun!
"Ming Gong is so lively here, it seems that I didn't come too late." Duan Ying was pushed in on a four-wheeled vehicle, followed by Han Heng and other battalion commanders.
When Ma Qiang saw that everyone had arrived, he sat down on the main seat and said, "Yan Rou, you first talk about the results of this battle. ”
Yan Rou came out of the queue and said, "In this battle, our army broke more than 60,000 thieves, captured nearly 30,000, and beheaded nearly 10,000, and most of the rest of the people and horses fled, nowhere to be found, and the thief general Cheng Zhiyuan was beheaded by Huang Cheng!" ”
Ma Qiang thought of Deng Mao, so he asked, "By the way, have you found any traces of Deng Mao?" ”
"This... Our army did not find out .." Yan Rou looked at Gongsun Zan and Zou Jing, then shook her head and said.
"There was a quick horse report just now, there is a thief army infested in the country of Yan, I am afraid that it is the soldiers and horses led by Deng Mao, and his target should be Zhongshan country." Duan Ying opened his mouth and said.
"Oh? Went to Zhongshan Country? Ma Qiang thought of the Zhen family in Zhongshan Kingdom, and couldn't help but worry, don't cause the Zhen family to collapse because of yourself.
His business route in Jizhou still relies on the Zhen family.
Well, Ma Qiang is not for what Zhen Mi.
By the way, how old is Zhen Mi now?
Ma Qiang thought about it, but he couldn't think of it, so he gave up.
"Zhongshan country is mountainous, these thieves are probably trying to hide in the mountains, it seems that they don't want to support Zhang Jiao, and Zhongshan country belongs to Jizhou, so it's not easy for us to send troops."
"Since that's the case, then Zhang Chun is left." Ma Qiang did not forget Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, who were fighting in the dark sky in Liaoxi and Youbeiping.
Qiu Liju fought with Zhang Chun in Liaoxi's Lingzhi after re-enactment, because Zhang Chun brought the original Han army border army, the combat power was not bad, the two sides fought back and forth, if Ma Qiang did not intervene, without two or three months, this battle could not be completed.
"Envoy, I am willing to fight!" Gongsun Chan stood up and shouted.
"Oh! Bergui has just come back and wants to play again? ”
This man is a war maniac...
"Zhang Chun is my Han general, how can he die at the hands of barbarians, I hope to fight this thief in my hand, so as to correct the prestige of my Han army!" Gongsun Zhan said righteously, and Liu Bei and the others on the side all showed appreciative eyes.
This era is the era of true Hanism, and Gongsun Zhan's words are absolutely politically correct.
"Duke Ming, let Gongsun Changshi and Yan Zhi go together, our army also needs to be repaired here, and wait for the edict of the imperial court."
Ma Qiang listened to Duan Ying's words, then nodded and said, "That's fine, it's hard work for the two of you!" ”
"No!" "Thank you!"
Ma Qiang said some encouraging words again, and asked Kou Xian to help arrange drinks and meals for the sergeants, and then a small meeting began.
"Coupled with the prisoners of war reported from other places, there are now more than 40,000 prisoners of war in Youzhou, and it is not difficult to select them to be strong, 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the Ming Duke should be collected as an army!"
At the beginning, Kou Xian continued to talk about his original opinion.
Ma Qiang looked at Duan Ying, Duan Ying nodded slightly, "If you want to win soldiers and horses, this move is indeed the fastest." ”
"Kou Xian said before that he would use the remaining prisoners of war for Tuntian, what does the military advisor think?"
Duan Ying glanced at Kou Xian, then shook his head and said, "Not at this time, the Ming Duke is only a temporary assassin of the history, and there is no official edict of the imperial court. However, if the land is occupied for reclamation, it is for private gain, and it is not allowed! ”
Kou Xian hurriedly said, "These fields can be set up as government public land, if it is not self-interest!" ”
Duan Ying smiled: "Please also ask Ming Gong to let me say a digression."
I chatted with those prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp before, and I found that the existing prisoners of war were framed as thieves. ”
"What? Is there such a thing? ”
Ma Qiang really didn't expect that the matter of killing good and risking merit would appear in his team.
No, it's not a good thing.. I didn't kill it.
And there are tens of thousands of prisoners of war, and there is no shortage of heads.
"Strategist, who did it? Is there still a royal law for this? Is there still a law? ”
"They are arresting people according to the king's law, but Ming Gong can rest assured that most of the people who do this are private soldiers of all ethnic groups."
"Private soldiers of all races? On what basis do they say that a man is a thief? ”
"Poof... Ming Gong, who can prove that those people are not thieves? ”
Ma Qiang was stunned for a moment by Duan Ying's words, no, isn't this who assumes who will provide evidence?
"Wait, shouldn't this be the proof of the thief army?"
"As long as Ming Gong wants, someone can witness in front of Ming Gong at any time, does Ming Gong want to see it?"
Also, the cost of perjury in this era is too low.
Speaking of which, isn't my assassination history also relying on fraud...
"But it's human life! What if someone else thinks that there are too many prisoners of war and wants to be killed? ”
"That's what they want." Duan Ying looked at Ma Qiang and said, "Those people who were wronged as the Yellow Turban Army are all people who have land and land at home, but they have not joined the clan.
After the defeat of the thief army, there were many big clans in various places who seized the opportunity to accuse people of innocence, and then seized the fertile land, and some were even ready to spend money to buy back these people who were falsely accused of the Yellow Turban Army, and use them as slaves to cultivate the fields that originally belonged to these people. ”
As he spoke, Duan Ying shook his head helplessly.
Ma Qiang was dumbfounded.
Can you still play like this?
This is much more powerful than the price of sitting on the ground in the future, look at the people, this is called selling you and asking you to help count the money!
"How unreasonable is that! Strategist, gather your men immediately, and I'm going to interrogate which bastards dare to act so boldly! Ma Qiangqi's hands were shaking, and after fighting for a long time, in the end, these big clans made a lot of money.
"This matter alone I found out in the prisoner of war camp involves thirteen families in two counties, the situation in various places is still unknown, I want to come to all counties, what is Ming Gong going to do with these people? Killed? Or a fine? ”
"According to the law of the Han Dynasty, what is the sin?" Ma Qiang asked rhetorically.
"False accusations of rebellion, you should be guilty of it, but Ming Gong, you are not a real assassin, if you want to punish these people, the whole of Youzhou will be the enemy of our army in an instant.
These people have relatives and friends in the court, and when the time comes, don't explain the history of the assassination of the father, and it is not impossible to falsely accuse the prince of being a thief. ”
Duan Ying's words made Ma Qiang stunned.
Ma Qiang clenched his fists and finally let go slowly.
He really doesn't have the ability to fight against the big clan in Youzhou, let alone him, even the later Cao Cao, isn't he also defeated by this force.
If they are willing to sell them prisoners of war, they will definitely support them to continue the contemporary history of assassination in Youzhou, and even make efforts to make their own history of assassination become a real history of assassination.
Ma Qiang took two steps slowly.
This damn world!
