Chapter 16 Strive for Merit!
Chapter 16 Strive for Merit!
Exploitation, extreme exploitation, often breeds rebellion!
This should be a wise saying.
However, Yun Lang did not see this characteristic in the ghost slave.
The Huns prepared for a month, and Yun Lang also squeezed the ghost slaves with a black heart for a month, and the corpses of the ghost slaves were thrown into the Blind River every day......
It was almost impossible to dig a big, long hole in the soft loess, however, these ghost slaves did it.
When the ghost slaves dug the cave into the hard rammed earth layer, the cave structure finally became stable, and there were no more large pieces of loess falling from the top of their heads, and not a single ghost slave died for three consecutive days, which made them very happy for a while.
Their joy comes only from the undead.
The ghost slaves didn't seem to care much about the disappearance of their partners, or death, they just cheered for themselves to be alive, only Yun Lang clearly knew that the first batch of fifty-six ghost slaves who came to Hook Mountain to dig a hole, so far, only two of them are still alive.
After careful study and analysis, Yun Lang found that the biggest driving force behind the fact that these ghost slaves honestly risked their lives to dig holes here was the simple factor of being able to eat enough every day.
Yun Lang didn't care about the lives of the ghost slaves, but he never deducted their rations, of course the rations were not good, but the millet buns were let go of eating, and occasionally there would be a little salted meat and wild vegetable soup, which was already a big meal for them.
Until this moment, Yun Lang finally understood why these people would willingly become ghost slaves, the reason was that they could not starve to death when they were ghost slaves.
In the fourth year of Yuanshuo, a locust plague swept through Guanxi, and locusts flew all the way from Guanxi to Dunhuang......
There are only eight words in the history books - "The hungry are in the wilderness, and the dead are in rest".
Until this year, Kansai was still barren...... Even the spring breeze could not wake up the devastated land.
Since Han Wangxin took refuge in the Xiongnu, the people of Han have become a group of forgotten people, and the people of the rest of the places have been displaced to make a living elsewhere, and the government will open some barren mountains and forests for them to survive, and as for Han Di, no one wants to accept them.
The people, who suffered from the plundering of the Huns, hated the king of Han who led the Huns all the way to Ganquan Palace.
When you become a ghost slave, death is one of the most common things, it will happen anytime and anywhere, the Huns will kill them when they are in a bad mood, the Han people will lift a long knife when they see the ghost slave, and they will encounter strong resistance when they rob, and after surrendering, there is still no way to live.
Therefore, to die after the captain has eaten enough is not as terrible and unacceptable to them as others think!
Yun Lang set up a bright oil lamp at the mouth of the cave, this oil lamp only opened a bright hole, this small bright hole towards the cave, a pale yellow spot of light shone on the bottom of the cave, guiding the ghost slaves to dig in the right direction.
Digging the rammed earth layer means that the ghost slaves have dug through the hook mountain!
The cave was already very deep, and in order to solve the problem of ventilation, Yun Lang had to order the ghost slaves to open more than a dozen bowl-sized holes above the cave.
He had personally inspected the vents, and those vents had indeed reached the plains on the eastern side of the hook mountain.
Large-scale excavations would have driven the Huns insane, and the plains were not a very suitable occasion for the Han army to fight.
Therefore, Yun Lang can only dig secretly like a tomb robber......
As the ghost slaves continued to excavate, people, horses, weapons, terracotta figurines, iron tools, bronze tools and other funerary goods gradually appeared in the soil.
When the bones of a woman slanted into the dirt appeared, Yun Lang judged from the little silk pieces left on her body and the jewelry scattered in the surrounding soil that this should be a martyred woman, and the identity should be a certain Yan clan favored by Mao Dun.
"The burial ground of the Xiongnu Khan?"
Xie Changchuan was as happy as a child!
Yun Lang was not at all surprised that this disgusting old thief suddenly appeared in the tunnel, if he didn't know anything about such a big thing happening in the army he commanded, he would not be a qualified commander.
"At the moment, it seems that my guess is accurate." Yun Lang put the wiped gold armband in his hand in Xie Changchuan's hand.
The workmanship of the gold armband is rough, and the olecranon structure at the junction is not the style of Han jewelry workmanship, which is very in line with the aesthetic style of the Huns.
"It wasn't Aning who told me!"
Xie Changchuan approached the oil lamp and watched the golden armband, and said a word very casually.
Yun Lang nodded and said: "A Ning is the general of my cavalry, so naturally I can't do things outside the house, and I will only find trouble with Guo Xie after I go back." ”
Xie Changchuan nodded again and again: "It really should be found, it should be found, the credit of pouring heaven was ruined by that villain." ”
Xie Changchuan looked around with a sparkling look, and replied very irresponsibly and casually.
"I didn't mean to hide it from the marshal, I was not sure before, I was worried about destroying the marshal's subordinates, and now that I have discovered the Hun Khan's clan, I naturally want to report it to the marshal."
"It's natural, it's good to read, and you can always say your dirty thoughts in the most beautiful words.
The reason why Ye Ye was thrown to Baishan Mountain by His Majesty for decades and ignored it is that he can't learn how you talk.
There are a lot of credits, but there is no change in the official position and title, and the loss is great! ”
Every time Yun Lang talks to Xie Changchuan, he has the urge to strangle him, this old thief is like a pig when he pretends to be a pig, once he becomes a tiger, he dares to swallow a lion, you don't know when he is a pig and when he is a tiger!
"Dig. Why not dig it? ”
Xie Changchuan stood for a while and said to Yunlang with great interest.
"The soil here is not strong enough, and I am generally not allowed to break the soil when I come in, lest I be buried by this hole."
"Not sturdy?" Xie Changchuan's pig nature flare up again, he looked at the top of his head vigilantly, and then said with a smile: "There are many people in the army who don't want to die for merit, so don't waste a first-class talent like you here, let those who are not afraid of death come in to supervise the work, so it's decided." ”
After speaking, the old thief who had just deprived Yun Lang of his command left the cave in a hurry, after all, it was indeed very unsafe for loess scum to fall from the top of his head from time to time.
It was expected that he would be deprived of his command, and Yun Lang did not feel depressed, shrugged his shoulders and left the cave.
Standing under the blue sky and white sun, the faces of both Xie Changchuan and Yun Lang did not look so gloomy.
A kind eyebrow and kind eyes teach earnestly like a gentle elder, and a humble student who bows his head and is taught to observe etiquette and etiquette.
"Boy, don't think that yes has taken the credit from you, this thing is too big, your head is too small to support this credit."
"Actually, the kid has received more credit than this, and it seems that nothing has happened, and the most serious consequence is that he was sat on his chest by the backing woman and couldn't move, which is not a big deal."
Xie Changchuan paused for a moment, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty used a backer woman to punish you?" ”
Yun Lang said helplessly: "Your Majesty generally ignores me, if I make a mistake, the person who punishes me is either Gillian or the eldest princess of Changping, you know, they are all women, so the means are a little ......."
"In that case, it's up to you to continue to make the hills, how about the credit is from my Central Captain's Mansion?"
"I still don't want to take this position as a good person, it's not good to see people when I return to Chang'an in the future......"
"What the hell do you want?"
"Without him, I just want to see what the corpse of a generation of Tianjiao Maodun Khan looks like!"
"That's it?"
"Of course it's not the only one, go to the sick, Ah Xiang, Ah Kang, Ah Ning's credit hasn't been settled yet, how can I let go?"
"If the eldest husband wants to make a meritorious service, he will naturally take it immediately! What kind of hero is opportunism! ”
Yun Lang said helplessly: "How many heroes and heroes who were with you in the beginning of the sword and prancing horse across the northern frontier are now safe?"
There has long been a poem in Guanzhong - the poor blind man is still a person in a deep dream!
Our brothers came to Baishan Mountain for the purpose of sealing the marquis immediately, but they didn't expect to exchange the head of the Xiongnu for it, and the goal could be achieved by exchanging the bones of Mao Dun.
I just got married, my sick wife is pregnant, Ah Xiang's wife is also pregnant, Ah Kang's second child is pregnant in his wife's womb, and Ah Ning has eleven mothers-in-law waiting to conceive in her family, which one of us can die? And who dares to die? "What if the old man insists that you leave this cave and go on business elsewhere?"
"Then there is no way, our group of small people are not your opponents, for this credit, I can't say that I have to invite a few elders who speak to you to come forward and chat with you!"
"Wei Qing is broad-minded, not so shameless!"
"However, Changping and Gillian are both notoriously cautious ......"
