Chapter 463: Everything is Business
Of course, this commander is just thinking about it, not to mention that he only has 3,000 men, even if he is given 30,000 men, he will not dare to really attack besides, no one will dare to disobey the orders given by the king of Alta.
Zhehan and Monno just want to take advantage of the loophole and take the opportunity to rob all the money they have, and then kill all the rogues, so that they can kill two birds with one stone, and even then, they still have to take a big risk. They were also prepared to be discovered by the king of Alta, and at most they would be able to offset their merits and demerits, and as long as they were okay, they would not be killed.
The two of them are the confidants and favorite generals of the king of Alta, and they dare to act so recklessly by relying on the favor of the king of Alta, and these three commanders are another matter, so naturally they dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool.
The three commanders were a little dumbfounded at this time, and they didn't know what to do, should they immediately step forward and kill all the people in the swarm? But besides, no one is allowed to escape. If they let one go, they have to pay for one person's life, which is tantamount to a bet, and they lose inside and out, and they don't make any money.
"Your Highness, these three adults are actually just worried that your subordinates will be damaged, and they don't mean anything else. In addition, there are advantages to accepting the surrender of these rogues, and there is a reward for the Great Khan. "Batten became a peacemaker at this time.
"Bounty? How many silver bounties are there? Besides, God pretended to be a fascination with money and hurriedly asked.
"That's a lot, the thirty-six leaders of a swarm of bees are one thousand taels each, the rest of the rogues are one tael of silver for each person, and ten taels of silver for one person who are alive." Batten laughed.
Besides, when he heard this, he hurriedly said loudly: "Tell Sun Hu not to kill those people, stay alive, and accept their surrender." β
Batten laughed when he heard this, and the three commanders advised him to accept the surrender of the rogue, first, because he could not bear to be brutally killed by the aliens, and because he did not want to take the captives on the road, they could take them and go to the king of Altan to receive the reward.
Now none of the thirty-six leaders in the swarm have been killed, and this is how much silver, one is one thousand taels, ten is ten thousand taels, and thirty-six is thirty-six thousand taels, which is a huge amount of money.
In addition, there are those minions, a living ten taels of silver, and now there are more than a thousand alive, that is, more than ten thousand taels. In other words, the rest of the people who are swarming are worth a total of about 50,000 taels of silver.
Such a huge sum of money will certainly not be destroyed, and immediately ordered Sun Hu not to kill them again and accept their surrender, this is silver, not a rogue.
"Aren't there dozens of small bosses? The big boss is 1,000 taels, and the small leader is at least 100 taels. Besides, if you continue to ask about money, you are simply grabbing money.
Ba Teng was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect the Han people's Lord Qincha to be so greedy for money. It was too late for him to change his words, so he had to bow his head and wipe his sweat.
The three commanders gritted their teeth in hatred, but they couldn't help it, they also understood that Baten was trying to relieve them from the siege, so they said that the king of Altan had a reward for capturing the rogue.
"Baten, these guys are worthless, if they are not worth anything, let's kill them, it's useless to keep them." Moreover, he pointed to the man flying on the grass.
"My lord, don't kill us, we're worth a lot of money." The leader of the grass flew without waiting for Batten to reply, and then shouted.
Ba Teng said with a smile: "This head flying on the grass is indeed very valuable, but it is not a reward from the Great Khan, it is a reward from Her Royal Highness the Third Lady Princess, there is not much silver, but you can get a favor from the third lady, which is worth more than how much silver." β
Besides, Daxi: "Haha, thank you Lord Batten, then stay." β
He turned his head and said to Ji Chang again: "Take care of this guy, wait until you get to Bansheng City to give it to Her Royal Highness the Third Lady Princess as a gift." β
The leader of the grass flying was really anxious, and shouted: "No, my lord, I have a merit to you, you can sacrifice me to the Great Khan." β
"What's the difference? Won't the king of Altan cut off your head, and will he reuse you? Besides, I was surprised.
The leader of the grass flying was speechless, he just felt that there might be a glimmer of life in the hands of King Alta, if it fell into the hands of the third lady, her maid would have to peel off his skin and light the sky lantern, and her head would have to be taken to mourn her parents.
Ba Teng explained his problem, it turned out that the king of Alta generally caught the more serious crimes, and did not immediately execute them, but used another way of punishment, that is, in foreign wars, drive these people to be pioneers, if they are lucky, they can be exempted from their crimes, and if they make meritorious contributions, they will be included in the official establishment.
Besides, I realized that this is how the punishment camp for the future generations of feelings came about.
In fact, this practice is not new, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu, he organized the prisoners in the prison and the people's sons-in-law into a vanguard, so that they could charge at the front and resist the sharp arrows of the Huns with their bodies, and then the regular troops of the Han Dynasty would charge behind.
How can a son-in-law be on the same level as a criminal?
There is no way, the son-in-law of the Qin and Han dynasties was so unlucky. However, this situation has rarely appeared since the Song Dynasty, and the son-in-law is only looked down upon by the people, but he is no longer discriminated against by the law.
Besides, I admire it very much, the king of Alta is really calculating, how many people will die in a battle, if the dead are all these criminal rogues, of course, no one is distressed, and it will not affect the combat effectiveness of his troops.
Take the battle between the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty as an example, countless people died just by attacking the Great Wall, which was really filled with human lives. The king of Altan has always used some small groups of warriors to fill in first, and when the critical moment comes, when the Great Wall is about to be conquered, his main force will come forward and kick this door.
Sun Hu was also stunned when he heard the order, what is going on, didn't he say again and again that he should not be alive, who is so capable of persuading adults to change their decision?
He knew that once he made up his mind, there were basically three people who could make him change his decision: Chen Musa, Zhang Juzheng, and the emperor, and no one else had the ability.
But none of these three people are here now.
Jiu Niang wanted to wait for the order and kill her, but she didn't expect to be killed suddenly.
However, she heard Ba Teng's conversation, and knew that these rogues were no longer evil enemies in their eyes, but white flowers, ten taels of silver for the living, and only one tael of dead, who would be willing to kill these rogues, wouldn't it be impossible to get along with the silver.
"This bastard, he only has money in his eyes, and he is not short of money at all." Jiu Niang not only has itchy hands, but also hates itchy teeth, but she can't help it.
"Are they worth money?" Besides, he continued to point to the people flying on the grass with great wealth.
"This ......"
Ba Teng blushed for the situation, his cheap master is too wealthy, his eyes light up when he mentions the silver, why don't he pay attention to the image at all?
"They are also worth some, but it's better to give them to Her Royal Highness Princess Sanniang." Batten was very embarrassed.
He was sincerely ashamed of the situation, even if he didn't talk about silver, it was not so obvious whether it was good or not, and it was the same to ask him behind his back.
Besides, he didn't care about this at all, in his opinion, he could not only get rid of those rogues, but also take these rogues to the king of Altan to receive the silver, this is a profitable business, why not do it, not only to do it, but also to do it with great fanfare.
Speaking of silver, he is really lacking, and he is very lacking, which is the same as saying that the emperor is short of silver.
In terms of his own life, his silver will not be spent even if he spends ten lifetimes, but if he supports the army, his little silver will not last for a few years.
The emperor is the same, a huge empire, no matter how poor he is, he can't be poor to the emperor, but all the departments and the army ask the emperor for silver.
It is precisely because of this that the emperor decided to build an open port on the coast to directly conduct overseas trade, and this sixth guard of brocade clothes was established to protect this open port.
Lack of money and silver, this is already a heart disease, otherwise how could he not be too troublesome to carry five thousand carts to pull goods to do business outside the Saiwai?
But besides, it's still very atmospheric, more than 100 people flying on the grass, even if it's worth much silver, it's not worth much, so I just gave it to the third lady as a gift, he married Hannaji Anda, and the third lady is the fiancΓ©e of the little prince.
Those Tatar cavalrymen also laughed secretly in their stomachs, and they all said how the Han people were rich, but they didn't expect to be so wealthy, it turned out that everyone said that the richer the people, the more they were wealthy, which was not false at all.
There are very few people on the grassland who are obsessed with money, mainly because it is useless to be a fan of wealth, the general family of nomads is some cattle and sheep, horses are mainly used by themselves, cattle are carts, and sheep are food and commodities, and they can't exchange much money, and over time, they don't dream of getting rich.
In addition, the country is sparsely populated, and the general family grazing is almost the same as isolation, and you can't see another family for ten miles and eight miles, which also develops the nomadic hospitable customs, and it is too difficult to meet people.
Therefore, some Han people say that you can come to the outside of the city without money, you can walk into the yurt, the host will be hospitable, eat and drink will not ask you for a penny, and when you leave, you will also bring goat milk, milk tofu, mutton to eat on the way, which is indeed true.
However, the herdsmen outside the country are very poor, much poorer than the civilians in the interior, and once they encounter natural and man-made disasters, they are basically in a desperate situation.
"Your Highness, Lord Monno's situation is very bad, can you show it." Batten respectfully asked.
He had been treating Monno for a long time, but there was still no improvement.
Besides, he smiled bitterly: "This is not good, I am here on behalf of the official now, which is different from my father's practice of medicine back then." It's not that I don't want to treat Lord Monnoe, it's just that this disease is very difficult to treat, and if I can't cure it, or even if my condition worsens, someone will frame me for taking the opportunity to assassinate Lord Monnoe. β
Batten could only sigh, he knew that his fears were justified.
Moreover, if it is the duty to cure Mono, no one may be grateful to him, and if he is not cured, he may be suspected of assassination.
One of the Tatar commanders bowed down and said, "If His Highness can cure Lord Monno, and I hope to lend a helping hand, even if it can't be cured, I guarantee that no one will dare to say strange things, otherwise I will be the first to cut off his head." β
Moreover, he smiled and said, "It is useless for you to say this, unless the king of Alta says so." Can you get the oracle of the king of Alda? β
