Not to mention how to garrison a place like Bukui, just escorting prisoners is not a good errand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the high mountains and long roads, the cold weather on the road, and the fact that the prisoners had to be eaten, drunk, and slept along the way, not to mention that the prisoners could escape at any time.

From the imperial capital to Bukui, it takes nearly four months to walk, and this distance and time is a headache to think about.

The prisoners were old and young, male and female. Some of them were accompanied by family members.

Among the family members, the composition is also more complex. Some are relatives who have been convicted because of Zhulian, and some are slaves. There are also those who have not sinned, but they also have to go with them.

The safety of these people on the road is also an issue. It's cold, it may be frozen, it's hot, it may be heat stroke. When encountering wilderness, high mountains and dense forests, you may encounter wild beasts. Crossing the river, it may have been swept away by the flood.......

Although convicts over the age of 60 are generally no longer in exile, they have been held in large prisons for a relatively long time, and almost all of them are malnourished, in poor health, and some are suffering from diseases.

If it's a general disease, it's okay, but if it's an infectious disease, it's still a threat to others.

Five hundred prisoners, plus their own more than 1,300 soldiers, plus a team of more than 1,800 people, no matter where they went, just food and lodging were a huge problem.

If you are just a member of the government corps, because they have been trained, they are all young people, and they can effectively deal with some emergencies on the road. With these prisoners, the situation is much more complicated when it comes to things.

In short, this long journey was not only an ordeal for the prisoners, but also for the escorted soldiers.

"My lords, my soldiers are all new recruits, they have not had much training, and they have never escorted prisoners before, so I can't do this errand. You'd better be smart. ”

"It's just a walk with a group of people, so what's so difficult? I heard that Huaiyuan was training in Yeduju, and he specialized in practicing walking, so didn't he just use it? ”

Oh my God, my training is called walking? Where is this, can it be matched? Practice a queue, how come even the people in your criminal department know about it?

"Escorting prisoners is a chore, you see, ......."

So, Jia Min listed all the difficulties that he thought about on the road one by one, and even said that there might be infectious diseases among the prisoners.

The purpose is to highlight the difficulties and show that they are not suitable.

"Li Shangshu, you see that I didn't see the wrong person, right? Huaiyuan is Huaiyuan in the end, not only a poetry genius, a business genius, a military genius, but even the escort prisoners, they are all geniuses. ”

How did I become a genius again?

"I have been in charge of the repatriation of people for more than ten years, and Huaiyuan is the most professional escort officer I have ever seen. Just listed those things, it shows that he has already made up his mind about the escort. ”

"In the past, those people, after receiving escort errands, always slapped their chests and said, 'Leave it to me'. As soon as I got on the road, I found out that everything was coming. In the end, either the prisoners ran away, were killed or injured, or died of illness, and often less than half of them were able to be sent to the locality. This time I handed it over to Huaiyuan, I was relieved. ”

Let's talk about the difficulties, how did it become a bamboo in the chest? How can I say it, I can't push off this errand?

Jiang Shilang's story of the prisoners dying and injured on the road is not alarmist. In the past escorts, such things did happen very often.

Except for escort missions of several hundred people like this one, which were carried out by the military, in fact, most of the escorts were small-scale. It was escorted by officials sent by local governments.

The quality of the officials is already uneven, and some of them do not have professional knowledge and skills in this area at all. In addition, escorting is a chore, so there are endless incidents of beating, scolding and humiliating prisoners on the road.

The expenses for the prisoners' food and lodging on the road are borne by the government. When encountering black-hearted officials, it is inevitable to be deducted. It is not uncommon for prisoners to be fed and for sick to be treated.

What's more, there are also collusion with the prisoner's enemy and murdering the prisoner on the way. There are also those who have been beaten to death, those who have died of disease, and those who have died of death. There were also those who sold prisoners on the road as slaves and coolies, and so on and so forth.

It is said to be exile, but in fact, many people died on the way before they reached the place of exile.

For many years, such tragedies have been repeated repeatedly, and people are no longer surprised.

"This matter can be discussed later, let's go, I'll invite the two of you to have a drink."

Li Yuan got up and walked out as he spoke.

has wine to drink, and it is possible to do tricky errands, Jiang Shilang is naturally willing to go.

Although Jia Min knew that this was not a good wine, Li Yuan was both a boss and a teacher, so it was not easy not to go.

Besides, if you follow yourself, you may be able to push off this errand. If he was not there, Jiang Shilang bewitched Li Yuan and planted this errand on his head, and he could only bear it.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Yuan began to support Jia Min.

"Huaiyuan, a toast to Lord Jiang, thank him for his support to you."

I thank him? He lifted me? He pushed me into the fire pit, and I have to respect him? Is there any heavenly reason?

"Master Jiang, I would like to give you a drink, thank you for your support."

There were a thousand dissatisfactions in his heart, but Jia Min still raised his glass to Jiang Shilang.

Li Yuan spoke, and he always had to give this face.

"You're welcome, Huaiyuan, this is what I should do."

Or should it be done? You're supposed to trick me?

"I'll have a drink with Huaiyuan, and I'll say hello to Huaiyuan first."

Li Yuan raised his glass, touched it with Jia Min, and drank it.

"Teacher, where does my joy come from?"

"Naturally, it's Lord Jiang's escort errand. As soon as Huaiyuan came out of the division, he made a great contribution before he arrived at the place, isn't it a happy event? As soon as the door opens next year, there will be a big event, if it is done well, next year's assessment, Huaiyuan will have a good result. ”

It's over, it's over, and it still hasn't run away. I've been so unlucky this year. It's almost the New Year, and it's such a mess.

"Huaiyuan is really lucky this year, but it's really a happy event. Escorting the prisoner is a happy event, and the next one is even more joyful. ”

What, what, and happy events? If there is any happy event, keep it for yourselves, I don't want it.

"This happy event is to congratulate Huaiyuan on his promotion."

"Teacher, the matter of the promotion has already been celebrated at the trial banquet. No more congratulations. ”

"That time is that, this time is this time. Last time, it was an official given by the emperor, and it was the garrison of the fourth grade. This time it's my official son to you, from the capital of the three products. ”

"Well, teacher, you didn't ......."

You didn't drink much, did you? It's only been a few days, and I haven't done anything, so I'm promoted to the next level? That's too fast, isn't it?

The teacher laughed.

Now I drink the high wine of the Hu Family Wine Workshop, no wonder the teacher drank high so quickly. Hey? Isn't that right? That's not right! It's over, it's over, Bu Kui's big pit.

This damn Li Yuan must have told me to jump into the big pit of Bukui. I sent the prisoner and told me to stay there.

Otherwise, where would he be so kind, and he would have promoted me for no reason.

"I'm not joking, Lord Jiang is right, I'll send you to Bukui to clean up the situation there."

I'm going to clean up the situation? How many people can't clean up, what can I do when I go? It's not a business, it's about taking care of prisoners.

It's just that it's okay to say that the prisoners still have to fight, just rely on these rookies under my command, how can they fight with others? Aren't they just waiting to die?

The veterans and veterans don't go, so ask me to lead a group of rookies with a child, are you embarrassed?

"Teacher, the students have never led troops into battle, they are only shallow in learning, and their subordinates are all recruits. I can't afford such a heavy responsibility, and I ask the teacher to take back his life. ”

"Jia Min, military affairs, do you think I'm joking with you? Do you want me to report to the emperor and ask the emperor to give you an edict himself? Am I not able to command you? ”

Li Yuan put down his wine glass and changed his face.

"Huaiyuan, don't hurry up and make amends to Lord Li. It's all your blessing that adults support you like this, and others don't want this opportunity, and they don't do anything, so they are promoted. Lord Li takes such a fancy to you, don't you want to thank Lord Li soon. ”

Jiang Shilang added oil and vinegar to the side.

Promoted to a fart official, tomorrow I will ask you to be the secretary of the criminal department, and the day after tomorrow I will ask you to die, this is also to promote you, what are you doing? You bastard, it's all a bad idea you gave.

"Alas, there is no need to make amends. Huaiyuan, I also know that this matter is a bit difficult for you. However, if the matter of Bukui is not resolved for a day, it will be difficult for northern Xinjiang to be stable. ”

Li Yuan sighed, and his tone was obviously relaxed.

"Bu Kui's situation, you must know a little bit about it. How many garrisons there changed, and in the end, they all returned. Your essay on changing the land and returning to the river in the temple examination inspired me, maybe if you go, you will really make a career. ”

"I don't ask you to be too high, as long as you can save the lives of the local people, it's fine. Even those who were not beheaded, they had the right to live, and if they committed a new crime, they deserved to die. If they do not commit new crimes, it is also the duty of the officials to save their lives. ”

"There are multiple reasons why the situation in Bukui is so difficult to return. Too few soldiers, too far from Ningguta, are all causes. ”

"So, I promise you five things. First, when you arrive in Bukui, the local military and political affairs are all handled by you cheaply, and you are no longer subject to the control of General Ningguta. ”

"The second thing, I will give you a thousand posts, you can recruit soldiers on your own, and the military expenses will be borne by the military department."

"The third thing, if a thousand posts are not enough, you can recruit government soldiers by yourself, but you have to bear the military expenses yourself."

"The fourth thing is that the silver and two substances that were handed over to Ningguta in the past are exempted. But Ningguta will no longer give you silver or silver. ”

"The fifth thing, the officers under your command are all promoted to one level."

"I will report the above things to the emperor in the near future. I think the emperor will grant it. ”
