Chapter 398: Emancipation of a Million Serfs

The Tang Army didn't seem to be here to fight, but more like a tourist to visit.

On the periphery, the cavalry of the Tang Army was densely circling back and forth, surrounding these Tubo troops.

There were also quite a few Tang troops who got off their horses, lined up in formation, and resumed their identity as infantrymen.

Rocket artillery, bomb carts, bows and arrows, spears, horizontal knives, a whole set of equipment was placed there, all aimed at these surrendered troops, a little resistance, these unarmed Tubo people, even the war horses were confiscated, it was a disaster.

Of course, the Tibetans have completely lost the idea of resisting.

It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't make sense.

Again, most of them are just serfs, slaves, for a slave, is there any difference between being a slave to those nobles and being a slave to the Tang people?

There is no difference, nothing at all.

Here, they have no identity, no status, they have been slaves since they were born, and they have been instilled with the idea of slaves since childhood, eating the worst, living the worst, doing the most, and enjoying the good life of exploitation all the time and everywhere.

If that's all there is, slaves are slaves, and they don't have the ability to change anyway, and with the constraints of thought, no one thinks it's abnormal.

As for turning over, that's an even more unimaginable topic.

But this is not the case, as slaves, it means that they have no property, no privacy, no freedom and no power.

Some people, industrious, sensible, the masters will assign them a female slave as a 'wife', so that they can have offspring, but these offspring are still slaves.

If the slave owner has a crush on your daughter, then whenever the slave owner wants to do whatever he wants, your daughter, not your daughter, has nothing to do with you in front of the slave owner.

In fact, most of these male slaves did not have wives, or were not entitled to have wives, even women who were also slaves, and it was impossible for them to have them alone.

Women, female slaves, were also a commodity of trade, but for the sake of long-term profit, they had to find wives for these slaves.

Therefore, it is very serious to say that slave owners care about the number of small slaves, and the more slaves, the more wealth and strength they have.

They don't care whose seed these little slaves are, so in the eyes of those slave owners, these female slaves are just a fertility tool, and every day, they have to serve those male slaves until they get pregnant, until they give birth, and after half a year, they have to go back on this path.

For female slaves, they will always repeat one thing in their lives, serving slaves, getting pregnant, giving birth, from pregnancy to childbirth, they can have a little more than a year to rest, and the rest of the time, it is endlessly repeated.

Female slaves who were barren were killed to avoid wasting more food.

What could be more desperate than these?

There was nothing more desperate than this, so they couldn't find any reason to resist.

Of course, resistance is not without any benefits, if they can succeed, if they perform well, they may be favored by those big people, and then buy them, or directly take them away, and become a real soldier from then on.

Soldiers were also slaves, but they were the only chance for slaves to turn over, and by meritorious service, by currying favor with slave owners, they had the opportunity to break away from slaves and even own their own slaves.

Although these are difficult to achieve, they are usually to buy people's hearts and make their position stronger, and the exploitation of the soldiers by these slave owners is not so serious.

At the very least, they will be assigned a wife, a real wife, not the kind of 'wife' who sleeps with people every day, although the children born are still slaves, the lowest slaves, but they at least know that they are their own children.

The probability of success is not high, coupled with the exploitation in the past, as well as the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, all kinds of factors have caused these slaves to dare not resist.

Slaves are also afraid of death, and slaves are also human beings.

Just like now, the Tang Army is just watching them from the periphery, and these slaves need to honestly clean up the battlefield.

Collect the slaves who were killed and killed, and then bury them, and find the corpse of Tang Jun, and ask a few people to take it seriously and hand it over to Tang Jun, without a trace of neglect and dissatisfaction.

For two days, the battlefield had been cleaned up, although there was still some minced meat that could not be cleaned up, and some dried blood was there, and a strong smell of blood could be smelled in the air.

But the dozen or so high-rise mass graves have reduced the probability of possible disasters to the minimum.

……

Zagil is a slave at the lowest level, who does not know who his parents are, and since he can remember, he has been constantly indoctrinated that he is a slave, that the slave owner is his everything, and that he cannot disobey the orders of the slave owner.

Ideological education, physical punishment, and even the killing of some disobedient people every year, so, since childhood, Zagil has left a deep imprint in his heart, so that he never dared to have any thoughts of disobeying the slave masters.

Zagil didn't know if he had any children, because he was not qualified to have a wife, anyway, according to the feeling, Zajile felt that he had at least three or four children, but after all, it was just a feeling.

Slave owners are conscripted, and these slaves can only follow the slave owners to the battlefield, the slave owners are their officers, and whatever the slave owners tell them to do, they can't resist, even if they go to die, they can only bite the bullet and grit their teeth and rush forward.

The day after cleaning up the battlefield, the Tang army began to grab prisoners in the camp.

No, it should be a mess of fingers, without any signs, without any laws to follow, it just depends on the mood, whoever is pointed out, and then follows behind a group of Tang troops and leaves the prisoner camp.

Zajil was one of those who was pointed out, and there were many people who were brought out, and there were people in almost every area, either one or two, or three or four.

They were not taken too far away, in the number of hundreds, each of them was taken to one place, and here, not far away, you could even see the captive camp not far away, and the other slaves were watching them.

Everyone was a little worried, a little afraid, for fear that the Tang Army was going to use them and kill them.

Several Tang troops, followed by a Tubo man with his head bowed, with a flattering look on his face, and each area was composed of such a team.

Zajil didn't know what they were going to do, but his heart was still nervous, he didn't know what to do, his body was still trembling, and even many people had the same reaction as him.

"Datang never kills innocent people, let alone fights unrighteous battles, although your previous identity was the Tubo Army, an enemy army, but don't be too nervous, some decisions are not something you can do, so Datang will not embarrass you......" A Tang Jun said in a small voice, only the front row could hear.

But it didn't matter, the Tubo man who bowed his head and bowed his waist nodded with a smile on his face, and when the Tang army paused, he translated it into Tubo with his throat and shouted loudly. (Ignore the translation below)

At this time, the more than 100 Tubo troops who were pulled out heard it clearly, and they also knew what the Tang army said just now.

Hearing Tang Jun say that he would not embarrass them, the worries in Zagil's heart were finally put down, no matter what, no matter who they became, as long as they could live, they were not qualified to pursue anything more than to live, not even their own lives.

"But since it is a war, someone must stand up and take responsibility for this matter, His Majesty Datang knows your suffering, knows your hardships, so long before the expedition, I told the two commanders, don't embarrass you, now, the two commanders are carrying out Your Majesty's orders, and you are about to usher in the most important day of your life!"

"Defeated?" Tang Jun shook his head and continued: "No! For you, this is not a defeat, but a new life, and from this day onwards you will have a new life, a new life that you never dared to imagine, a life that you envy. ”

"As for what you have to do, it's very simple, when you go back, tell everyone the news, and then point out the slave owners you know, remember, all the slave owners, but also their families, all their relatives."

"And you will also get a new identity, from now on, you are no longer slaves, but a second-class citizen of the Tang Dynasty who has freedom and a new identity."

"And you will be qualified to choose a woman from the captives as your wife, no one can force you, no one can oppress you, in this land, as long as you obey the discipline of the Tang Dynasty and abide by the rules of the Tang Dynasty, there is no difference between you and the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"The purpose of this battle of the Tang Heavenly Army is to liberate millions of serfs in Tubo, so that you can return to your normal identity and enjoy a normal life."

What the?

From now on, they are no longer slaves? Can you live like a normal person? Can you also choose a woman you like as a wife?

And all they had to do to get that was to point out what they knew about the slave owners and their families?

Zagil could not have imagined how such a good thing could have befallen them?

How is this possible?

The Tang army is not here to destroy them, but to rescue them from the heavenly army of fire and water?

Zagil, who was the first to react, hurriedly knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing to Tang Jun, and said a lot in Tubo.

"What did he say?" The Tang soldiers looked confused, obviously unable to understand the Tibetan language, but seeing the excited appearance of the goods, and the other people kowtowed, they asked the translator with some curiosity.

"General, he said that he was guilty, if he had known the purpose of the Celestial Army's war, he would have joined forces with others to subdue those slave owners and help the Celestial Army occupy this place, he should not have obeyed the slave owner's orders to go against the Celestial Army, he would have seriously pointed out every slave owner and their family, and ensured that none of them would run away......" The interpreter said with a smile on his face.
