"My daughter is also going to get married at the end of the year, and now they are out of the marriage, what can my daughter do in the future, you must give enough compensation as a dowry, otherwise my daughter will not be able to get married. Please call the shots. ”

"My daughter was killed by your people when she was only fourteen, she had no dowry, it was not easy to marry, and now that she was killed, the whole village knows about it, and she will not be able to marry in the future. I have to make amends, or I'll die here. ”

........

It took half an hour for Yang Congyi and others to listen to the demands of the victims' families.

"Brother Tang, what do you think?" Yang Congyi turned his head and glanced at Tang Xun.

Tang Xun replied very sadly: "They have been tarnished by beasts at a young age, and it will definitely be difficult to marry in the future. But none of those beasts can be spared, and they must be severely punished! ”

Yang Congyi said: "Those people should be severely punished, but it is still important to solve the current problem, how to compensate, and how much compensation is appropriate?" ”

Tang Xun thought for a while and said: "They are so pitiful, each victim compensates twenty horses of silk, twenty sets of porcelain and fifty catties of tea, chastity is gone, reputation is gone, compensation for this little thing is somewhat comforting." ”

With such a generous compensation, Yang Congyi shook his head secretly when he heard it, and said, "Brother Tang, isn't this compensation a bit much?" It's really so much, and when the news spreads, tomorrow I don't know how many people will pretend to be victims and defraud the fleet of compensation. Or think about it, the compensation can't be too much. ”

Tang Xun was anxious when he heard this, and said angrily: "Good women are ruined by beasts before they get married, and their reputation is ruined, they may not be able to marry for the rest of their lives, what is this compensation?" Besides, if you give it to them, they may not want it. ”

Yang Congyi's mind suddenly flashed, a thought emerged, and after thinking for a while, he felt that it should be feasible, so he smiled and said: "Brother Tang, don't be angry, I just thought of an idea, maybe it will work." ”

Tang Xun asked angrily, "What's your idea?" ”

"They are worried that their daughters or sisters will not be able to get married, so why don't we marry them all and give them some dowry as compensation?"

"What, you married them?" Tang Xun looked at Yang Congyi with wide eyes, and couldn't believe that this sentence came out of his mouth.

Yang Congyi was very uncomfortable by her, and smiled awkwardly: "It's not me, I mean to let the Xuanwei Army or the reserve army marry them, Xuanwei Army doesn't want a dowry, as long as they are willing to marry, we will also give them a dowry." Didn't you hear them just now, the women here have to prepare a dowry when they get married, and they can't marry without a dowry, it should be the local custom, Xuanweijun doesn't want a dowry now, marry all the women who were victimized, I believe they will be willing. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xun was dumbfounded, not only did she not believe it, but Jiang Kai also didn't believe it. Will Xuanwei Jun marry a woman whose reputation has been ruined? Those women were just killed by Xuanwei Army, and now they can still marry Xuanwei Army? I'm afraid it's not whimsical.

"Brother Yang, you're not joking, are you? Are they willing to marry? Are they willing to marry? Can a marriage solve the problem at hand? Tang Xun asked a few times, but she didn't believe it at all.

Jiang Kai said: "My lord, I don't think it's very feasible. You still have to be cautious about getting married, don't complicate things, when the time comes, it will be out of control, and it will be a disaster for the fleet. ”

Yang Congyi said: "How do you know if you don't try." First ask them about the marriage customs here, in my opinion, the marriage customs here should be very different from the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is that the man has no money and can't marry a wife, and here it may be that the woman can't marry someone without money. Therefore, most of them just wanted to compensate, and when they had money, they would pay a dowry, so that it would be possible to get married. ”

Without waiting for the two of them to refute, he instructed the interpreter: "Ask them if they are willing to marry their daughters, not for a dowry, and if we can give them a bride price." ”

The translator hesitated, and saw that Tang Xun did not explicitly object, so he hurriedly began to ask those Tianzhu people.

Although Tang Xun did not object, he was obviously opposed to the marriage, the woman had just been victimized, and then married their person, how could this be done, if their parents and brothers agreed, wouldn't this force them to die? But seeing that Yang Congyi is full of confidence, I really don't know where his confidence comes from.

The Tianzhu people fell silent and seemed to be thinking, and then they began to communicate with each other, as if discussing whether the marriage was feasible.

Yang Congyi and the others couldn't understand what Tianzhu was saying, so they could only wait for them to end their discussion and give a clear conclusion.

After a while, the interpreter said, "My lord, they agreed to marry people, but their daughters and sisters can't leave their homeland, so our people must stay in Tianzhu." ”

This answer was a bit unexpected by Yang Congyi, I am afraid that no one wants to stay in Tianzhu, so he looked at Tang Xun and the others and asked, "What do you two think?" To marry or not to marry? ”

Tang Xun couldn't believe this answer, they were really willing to marry the victim's daughter and sister to Xuanwei Jun? What a group of heartless fathers and brothers! She looked at these Tianzhu people, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and replied in a low voice: "Look at it, those women are hard-working people, if you really want to marry them, choose some reliable people, don't let them be hurt again." ”

Jiang Kai nodded and said, "If someone is willing to stay, they can naturally marry, but I'm afraid that no one willing." ”

Yang Congyi said: "There are so many people, there will always be some people who like Tianzhu, so it's a big deal to give them more property." If you can't do it, you can leave an army, allow these people to marry locally, and before the fleet leaves, give them the marriage, and wait until they have the opportunity in the future, as long as they want, they can also return to the Great Song Dynasty, of course, this is an expedient measure, although it can also solve the immediate problem, but there are hidden dangers. ”

Jiang Kai said: "Then first inquire in the Xuanwei Army and the Reserve Army, if there is anyone willing to stay here, if there is no one, it is not too late to issue a military order, after all, the matter of marriage is decided by the parents, we are not their parents, I am afraid it is not good to be the master." ”

"Without further ado, this issue needs to be addressed today. Tell the Tianzhu people that we are willing to marry, and we are willing to stay, let alone any dowry, and bring their daughters or sisters over tomorrow afternoon, and let them choose their own husbands. Yang Congyi immediately made a decision, if no one really wanted to, then leave an army according to the military order, and arrange for them to marry before the fleet left.

The translator immediately conveyed Yang Congyi's words to the Tianzhu people, and after they heard the reply of the Great Song official, the expression on their faces suddenly became relaxed, and there was even a hint of joy.

The hopeful Tianzhu people left.

Yang Congyi, Tang Xun, Zhao An, Jiang Kai and others gathered on the main ship of Shenzhou and came to Lord Huang's residence.

Leaving some Xuanwei Army behind, this is a big deal, Lord Huang, as the commander of the Xuanwei Army, must have his consent.

Jiang Kai explained the ins and outs of the matter to the adults in detail, and took the opportunity to tell Lord Huang and Zhao An about Yang Congyi's solution.

After pondering for a moment, Lord Huang said: "If this return to Yi goes well, the return fleet of the imperial court will definitely come to Tianzhu every year, just like in the country of the Three Buddhas, leaving some people will also be beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty." You can see how many people are left, and it will not affect the fleet to go south. ”

Zhao An's face was ugly, although everyone did not accuse him, but the Xuanwei army did the rape of dozens of women, seriously violated military discipline, as the de facto commander of this army, it is difficult to escape the blame, this is the result of diluting military discipline and ignoring military discipline. Therefore, he could only say that he had no objection with a weak heart, but listened to Lord Huang's orders.

Yang Congyi said: "Since this is the case, then ask General Zhao and Jiang to convey the news that they are allowed to marry in Tianzhu, and tell them that if they want to marry and are willing to stay in Tianzhu, Xuanwei Army will bear all the wedding expenses, and they will leave them money after marriage, and the salary will also be distributed in advance." Tomorrow morning, before the sun rises, you will count the list and report it to me, limited to a hundred, and you will not wait for it. ”

Jiang Kai and Zhao An hurried away.

An hour later, the news of the fleet's wives and free marriages spread throughout the entire camp and all the ships of the whole army, and the whole army was boiling!

Many people have never seen a woman since joining the Xuanwei Army, let alone touching a woman, more people have never touched a woman, and now they are giving wives for free, which is a great thing! Everyone ran to tell each other, dancing and dancing, they can also marry a wife, what a blessing this is, since joining the Xuanwei Army and going to sea, they have suffered so much, and now they have a wife, it's worth it!

But they didn't be happy for long, and another news came that they had to stay in Tianzhu after receiving their wives!

This news was like a bucket of cold water poured into a boiling pot, and everyone's hearts were suddenly cold. There are no relatives here, what's the point of staying here, Tianzhu doesn't know how many thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty, they can't go back if they die, they can't return to their roots when they die, they can't return to their roots, they can't accept it at all.

Later, news came that those who wanted to stay still retained their military status, and they could also return to the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

But not many people believe this news, it is obvious that the officials are coaxing them, trying to trick them into staying here, saying that they can go back in the future, if no one comes to pick them up, Tianzhu and the Great Song Dynasty are far away from each other, and they will not be able to go back at all, and a fool will believe their official mouth!

Soon after, news came that the whole army was limited to a hundred, and the wives were limited, and the registration deadline was before sunrise tomorrow.

As soon as he heard that the free wife was limited, some people were immediately moved and wanted to sign up, but then someone persuaded him to give up, saying that he would be bullied if he lived in a foreign land, that it was difficult to communicate with people due to language barriers, that he died in a foreign land, that it was difficult to return to his home, that he was disloyal and unfilial, that he was ashamed of his ancestors, and so on.

After some rhetoric, it seems that marrying a wife for free has become a serious crime, and in front of everyone's eyes, even if someone is moved, no one dares to sign up.

Until dark, Zhao An and Jiang Kai did not register a name, and they didn't know how to end this matter, I am afraid that it will eventually become a farce.
