Chapter 547 Stand out from the crowd

Although Xiaobei is no stranger to Li Rusong, she knows that in addition to being direct in his words, the eldest son of the Liaodong General Army is sometimes rude to the point of being a little rude, and he is a fierce and fierce person, but at this moment, hearing him use such naked words to uncover that bloody reality, she still can't help but feel a beat in her heart. However, she once fell from a young lady to a displacement, and she also once stabbed the Taihu Lake thieves in the county government, and saw many equally bloody and cruel things, and after taking a deep breath, she finally did not make a sound.

And Wang Fulin was even calmer. He narrowed his eyes and asked with a bit of a fox: "Then how does Brother Li plan to choose those lucky ones?" These Jurchen prisoners of war were brought back by the marshal from Gule Village, if you go too far, the impeachment of the imperial history may not be so serious, but the marshal is not easy to mix up, right? ”

"Shiqing, you are a scholar in the end, and you don't know some ruthless methods in the army. For example, give an illusory promise and let them fulfill it, see how they struggle to survive, how they calculate each other, and how they finally climb to the end; For example, let them fight each other to the death; For example, if you take this project of building a camp as the goal, tell them that they will work the most and the best, and then they will be able to get out of this hard labor camp and let them sweat and bleed; For example, let them denounce each other, and if they can expose their companions' escape or other schemes, I will get them out of the hard labor camps......"

Seeing that Li Rusong said this, he didn't even blink his eyelids, and he escaped a terrifying villain, Wang Fulin suddenly reminded kindly: "Brother Li, I have to remind you of one thing. When you're a liar, you often move your shoulders inadvertently. ”

Xiaobei thought that Wang Fulin interrupted Li Rusong to remind him not to be too vicious, but he didn't expect such a sentence to burst out, and he burst out laughing after a moment. Then hurry up and don't look over. And Li Rusong subconsciously glanced at his left and right shoulders, and when he realized that Wang Fulin's words were likely intentional, he laughed instead of being angry.

"You're right, I don't have that much time to spare to take pleasure in these bitter prisoners of war. It's easy to pick someone. What can he do? If it is not valuable, let him do hard labor in peacetime, and use it as cannon fodder when he fights. Only the capable have the value of cultivation, and the incompetent are here to die. ”

For such an answer, Wang Fulin felt that it was about the same. After all, during the days he spent with Li Rusong before, he didn't feel that this eldest prince had such a bad personality. It's one thing to slaughter cities, it's another thing to treat prisoners of war purely as laborers, but it's another thing to take human lives for fun. Wait until he and Xiaobei follow Li Rusong through this wide camp. Seeing that many of the people who were working secretly looked over here, and those eyes clearly showed resentment, horror, and anger that could not be concealed, he only glanced around and gave up the possibility of finding someone from them.

Moreover, the name Nurhachi that he knew was based on the result of the translation of Manchu into Chinese, and it was not clear how it was. And, what if someone makes up a name at random? He only needs to pick one at the moment, who should have some identity in Gule Village, and is more clever. But it's not too old for people to do it, and when the time comes, learn the local language. Then slowly inquire about the news, there is no need to dwell on having to do it all in one battle, and bet on your luck.

The arrival of the eldest prince of the General Military Mansion was really a surprise for Yue Guang, who was in charge of this place. Supervising these Jurchen juvenile prisoners of war, all of whom were no more than fifteen years old, was by no means an important task. It can even be said that he is not taken seriously, and Li Rusong is not only Li Chengliang's eldest son, but he has already made a lot of achievements at a young age, of course he hopes to at least be familiar with people in front of people, and he can be promoted to the side of the marshal in the future. can have a battle, and can make war merits. Therefore, Li Rusong said that he wanted to pick a few clever Jurchen teenagers as attendants, and he made it clear that Li Chengliang wanted it, but he didn't say anything at all.

But he was about to go out, but he only heard Li Rusong's voice from behind: "When you go to pick someone, remember to ask them, let them think about what they can do." If it's only those who can work hard, and don't have any outstanding abilities, then don't bring it, I don't have that kind of idle time. By the way, you must be able to speak Chinese, which is the most basic condition. ”

Yue Guang was stunned for a moment, pondered in his heart, and immediately agreed to leave. A quarter of an hour later, he rushed in with a dozen teenagers. I saw that they were still as naked as before, but their dusty faces were finally washed, and they lowered their hands and bowed their heads, and none of them raised their eyes. When kneeling down and saluting at Yue Guang's order, everyone behaved unusually obediently, their foreheads pressed against the ground.

Although Wang Fulin said that since these people came in, he began to observe carefully, but the faces looked similar at first glance, and no one showed the spirit of a tiger who shocked the body of a tiger and made people look at it differently, of course, this is not surprising, if there is really that kind of character, he may be slaughtered by a knife when he is captured. Anyway, he was brought over by Li Rusong to watch the excitement today, and at this time, he strictly abides by the proper quality of an audience, and before Li Rusong is silent, it is purely non-existent. When Xiaobei moved his body a little impatiently, he immediately shook his head at him.

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, Yue Guang received Li Rusong's hint and immediately said loudly: "The eldest prince came here to pick people on the order of the marshal, what will you do, talk about them one by one." From left to right, from front to back, say one by one, don't mess up the order for me! ”

"The little ones can make furs, drill wood for fire, and serve flowers." The first young man to open his mouth should have thought about it outside, and after spitting out these words in a relatively stiff Chinese language, he found that he didn't get any response, and he couldn't help but raise his head a little anxiously, but when he came into contact with Li Rusong's cold gaze, his begging for mercy and explanation to his mouth were all frozen. It wasn't until his head was slammed to the ground that he didn't dare to make any strange noise.

"The little one learned from a veterinarian and would treat horses."

"The little one has learned how to build a house."

Wang Fulin listened on the sidelines, but couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why didn't he hear the word "minion" on the signboard? But also, most of the Jurchens do not know Chinese, and I am afraid that these two Chinese characters are not yet spoken. Speaking of which, the Jin State, which once beat the self-centered Song State to the ground in the Jingkang Revolution, the ministers of the clan were never as enslaved as the Manchu Qing Dynasty. I have never heard of the time when the emperor and the courtiers were called masters and slaves, and it can be said that it is a model of the fastest transformation from slavery to feudalism. Because of this, some people in later generations said that Manchuria and the real Jurchens were not the same thing at all, but what kind of Tungusic people, as for the perverted master-slave system of the Eight Banners. It's not a Jurchen relic anymore.

Listening to what Li Rusong said before, this is indeed the case.

But whatever he wanted, he could come whatever he wanted, and while he was pondering, he only heard someone cower and say: "The slave is very familiar with the geography of the mountains and rivers in the east of Fushun Pass. ”

Xiaobei didn't care, but Wang Fulin subconsciously sat up straight, and when he saw that Li Rusong's face was as usual, but the hand that was originally supporting his head hung down, he knew that Li Rusong didn't take this as a deaf ear, but he didn't react out loud. And then after two or three very unoriginal answers. Then he heard another voice.

"I can tame horses, no matter what kind of fierce horses, I can tame them."

This kid brags, right?

Wang Fulin looked at the little man who was as thin as a reed stick, and thought to himself that this guy was ten years old at most, how could he tame a fierce horse at the age of ten, and it was in front of Li Rusong, not afraid that people would really find a fierce horse for you to try? As he was thinking so, Li Rusong really smiled and said, "Okay." Come on, go find a fiery horse. Let this kid tame and come to me! ”

Seeing that the little man who spoke stood up neatly, and turned his head and went out without saying a word, Wang Fulin couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't this bragging, but taking it seriously? Patiently waited until the next four or five people finished talking one by one, except for one who boasted of superior martial arts, most of the other things would be relatively ordinary. And no one dared to claim to be able to read Chinese books. It can be seen that in the current situation where the Jurchens are still falling apart, even if they captivate the Han Chinese, and perhaps there are scholars among them, they will not put them in any important position. It's not strange to be able to speak Chinese, but it's unlikely to be able to read Chinese books.

Therefore, he didn't bother to see how Li Rusong would question these people next, stood up and said with a smile: "I'm very interested in that little guy's horse taming, so I'll go over and have a fun first." ”

"I'll check it out too." Xiaobei is the most husband and wife, not to mention that Wang Fulin's suggestion is more appetizing to her, and she also stood up with a smile, smiled and arched her hand and slipped away.

Li Rusong saw that the couple was walking fast, and originally wanted to take a look, but now he had to finish the matter he caused first. Although among these people brought by Yue Guang, it should be the one who this Qianhu thinks is more intelligent and clever, but it obviously does not meet his requirements, the one who said that he is familiar with the terrain outside Fushun Pass is even more nonsense, they have all fought Gule Village, will the Ming army be unfamiliar with the terrain over there? In the past two hundred years, Liaodong has used troops on a large scale against the Jurchens many times. But the ten-year-old guy who volunteered was a little funny.

However, if it only attracts his attention, but he doesn't have that ability, then he can only choose it himself. He would never do this kind of needle-in-a-haystack thing usually, but this time, because he said a lot in front of Wang Fulin and his wife, at least he had to choose a few who really stood out. The reason why my father didn't choose first when he returned to Liaoyang in triumph was because Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, had always been there.

Wait, this time my father broke the Gule Village, and he should have caught a few descendants of the Jurchen chieftains, so how could they be so good? Someone is hiding?.

"If it is true that all the Jurchen teenagers under the age of fifteen who were caught after breaking the Gule Village are here, then, outside of the dozen or so just now, there must be someone hiding clumsy, after all, there should always be a few descendants of the Jurchen chieftains who have been captured."

This is what Wang Fulin said to Xiaobei in a low voice while standing on the edge of the racetrack. In the field, someone had already released a seemingly fierce horse that kept kicking its nose, and the ten-year-old boy who claimed to be able to train horses was spitting in the palm of his hand at this moment, looking like he didn't care. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, thinking that there really was a ten-year-old young hero who could tame a fierce horse? And this person does look different in that group of seemingly tame Jurchen teenagers, and you can get a glimpse of it just from the self-title.

If you can really tame the fierce horse, will this kid be dead or alive when the time comes?

The moment Wang Fulin narrowed his eyes, he saw the young man like a reed stick, like a sharp arrow from a string, rushing towards the fierce horse that was neighing loudly without a human traction.
