After the Han army captured Zuohe, in addition to bringing prisoners of war with them and making them transport supplies, all the other Japanese people were released when the Han army set out on the expedition.

And now, not long after the Han army left Zuohe, more than 1,000 women secretly caught up with these Japanese people. After asking the reason, I found out that these women were all slave girls, and because of their young age, all of them escaped, but there were some elderly people and young children who did not escape.

The women begged the Han army to save them.

Zhuge Liang said: "I'm afraid there is fraud." ”

Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I have a way." ”

After that, he ordered Xiahoudun to lead 3,000 cavalry to return to Zuohe and capture all the released Japanese people. At the same time, he ordered the whole army to be stationed down, not to go to Inutai first, and then talk about it after everything here was dealt with.

After waiting for about two hours, the Japanese people were all brought, and Liu Xierang separated the 1,000 women from the more than 3,000 Japanese people, and then asked the more than 1,000 women to identify the relatives among the more than 3,000 Japanese people.

Most of the people who were identified were their parents and children, and after the identification, there were still some lonely and widowed elderly people who were unclaimed, and Liu Xie asked them to come over again.

Since then, there are only about a hundred people left on the opposite side, and among these hundred or so people there are young people and women, but half of them are young men, and half are middle-aged, and there are very few women.

After careful interrogation, among the 100 or so people, there were more than a dozen noble slave owners, and most of the others were domestic servants and thugs.

In this way, the personnel are clearly distinguished and clear at a glance.

Zhuge Liang asked, "What does Your Majesty plan to do?" ”

Liu Xie smiled: "It's very easy to do, come on, give each of these thousand women a knife!" ”

The generals didn't know what the emperor meant, and they all waited curiously, but when they heard that they were going to give knives to the Japanese people, the Yulin army immediately surrounded Liu Xie under the leadership of the officers, for fear that he would be unexpected.

Liu Xie smiled: "Don't be so nervous, okay?" ”

The captain of the guard said: "It is the duty of Wechen to protect His Majesty's safety, Wechen does not dare to take risks, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that the captain of the guard was stubborn, Liu Xie did not object to him, and let him send someone to protect him. Then the interpreter said to the slave girls: "You say that you are slaves who have been enslaved and exploited, and now it is in your hands, and it is time to turn over and become masters." ”

One of the women held the knife in her hand, looked back and asked, "Can you really control your own destiny?" ”

Liu Xie said: "Yes, but there is only one chance, you can watch it yourself, and there will be no chance when the knife is withdrawn." ”

Another woman held up a knife and shouted, "Instead of sitting still, let's fight to the death!" ”

With that, he screamed and slashed at a Japanese nobleman, who shouted and hurriedly dodged, and fled in the crowd. The woman who was going to cut him with a knife, after all, had no training, and she couldn't see him after cutting many times, and she screamed in a hurry.

"You're so stupid, look at me to help you!" A woman rushed with a knife and screamed, "Give back my child's life!" ”

As a result, neither woman could see a single person, so they saw that these two women were chasing the same Japanese nobleman like crazy, and they saw the man shouting while running for his life: "Help, help, emperor, help me!" ”

Liu Xie said: "If you don't usually do too many bad things, you won't let people hate you so much, you can find a way to save your life, you can try to beg for mercy, maybe they can spare you from dying." ”

The nobleman screamed and ran to the sidelines, when suddenly two more women rushed over with knives and stabbed the nobleman in the abdomen.

The widow did not expect to be stabbed, and his eyes were open in horror.

Since these Japanese women were not trained, their hands holding knives were trembling, and even if they stabbed this nobleman, the sword was not deep, and it was not fatal for a while, and the nobleman screamed, and the two women howled and pushed the knife hard.

The two women who had not killed him just now also rushed over at this moment, one by one stabbed into the nobleman's body, four knives, and the four women howled angrily.

After a while, the nobleman fell to his knees, blood gushed out, and he was stabbed to death by four women.

Look at the four women again, crying and collapsing to the ground, one of them cried out: "Son, my mother has avenged you, you can look away!" ”

The other three women also cried and shouted to the sky, presumably taking revenge. The knives were also thrown on the ground.

Four women killed a slave owner, and the Han army remained unmoved on the sidelines. A woman on the sidelines shouted, "Sisters, what are you waiting for? Revenge of revenge! ”

With a roar, a thousand slave girls rushed over with knives in their hands, and the hundred or so slave owners and thugs were so frightened that some of them scurried, and some of them knelt down directly.

A thousand female slaves were holding knives and slashing, and the scene was chaotic for a while, and Liu Xieran's onlookers were always staring at it to prevent any female slaves from suffering losses instead of killing the enemy.

After a while, more than 100 nobles, their families, and thugs were all killed by the slave girls.

Look at these slave girls again, after killing the enemy, they all cried and cried, and the old people and children on the sidelines also ran over and hugged them.

Liu Xie ordered people to go down and take the knives back.

One of the women knelt down towards Liu Xie and said loudly: "The Great Emperor is our savior, he is the one who gave us freedom!" We will always be loyal to the Emperor! ”

All the Japanese knelt down and shouted, "Always loyal to the Great Emperor!" ”

Liu Xie asked everyone to get up, and said: "You must remember that our Han army only deals with nobles and slave owners, and it is to free you slaves, from now on, you are free, you are slaves from time to time, and you will not be able to become slaves in the future." And I promised to abolish slavery in the future. Under my rule, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between slave owners and slaves! ”

Liu Xie also asked people to count how many of these women have no husbands and children. Roughly unified, there were more than 500 single women under the age of forty, including widows.

Liu Xie said to these women: "Are you willing to serve or marry my Han soldiers?" Become a woman of the Han army, and life will be guaranteed. ”

Liu Xie couldn't imagine that his simple question actually got a strong response, these women all expressed their willingness, and those women who had children also expressed their willingness to serve the Han army.

In this way, the first official kilns were born on Wajin Island, and it should be noted that official kilns were legal in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
