"Don't change!" Feng Yao replied affirmatively. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at Xu Chu's expression that suddenly became annoyed, Feng Yao smiled slightly: "However, this big victory, Xuzhou is all in our hands, and we will celebrate tomorrow!" ”
Xu Chu suddenly realized the meaning of "not changing" in Feng Yao's mouth! That's not changing, it's not "no"!
"Zhongkang, two beauties plus fine wine, understand! Hehehe! Feng Yao patted Xu Chu's shoulder and smiled.
"Understood! Thank you, my lord! Xu Chu was overjoyed.
Feng Yao looked at Jian Yong, who was still buried with his face and head down, bowed down, pulled Jian Yong, and said, "Xianhe, I know it's you, hurry up, I'm still waiting to get your assistance!" ”
Jian Yong knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to stand up in embarrassment, and said ashamedly: "It seems that the will of heaven is like this!" I am willing to assist the envoy, but please forgive the envoy for leading the army to block the tiger guard and help Liu envoy get out! This is what I have to do to repay the old Lord! ”
After receiving Jian Yong's affirmative answer, Feng Yao was overjoyed and said: "Xianhe, this is what should be done, but since you have fulfilled your due loyalty to the old master, and God has let you survive on the battlefield, please forget the old master from now on, loyally recognize me as the master, and assist me to benefit the common people in the world together!" ”
Jian Yong nodded, and at this time, Xu Chu, Yang Wu and others came forward to congratulate Jian Yong, and Jian Yong's expression slowly became a lot more natural.
"Feng Yuanjun, please forgive me for not being able to call you the lord now, give me some time to get used to it!" Jian Yongdao.
Feng Yao agreed one by one, as long as Jian Yong could agree to work, he was not afraid that Jian Yong would not admit the Lord in the end!
"Brothers of the Tiger Guard, please get up!" Feng glanced at the Tiger Guard, who was still kneeling respectfully on the battlefield, and ordered loudly.
"Yes, my lord!" The two thousand tiger guards all stood up.
Those captured Liu Beijun were still kneeling, not daring to get up, Feng Yao shouted: "Since you have been captured, what else can you say?" ”
"I'm waiting for my wish to surrender!"
Feng Yao roughly nodded, there are about more than 100 people in this batch of surrendered troops, all of them are strong, no wonder they can persist in surviving under the attack of the Tiger Guard, they should all have some extraordinary skills!
So he nodded and said, "Okay!" It is a good thing that you will surrender to me, and I will treat you as I would have done to my other men, but if any of you dare to do anything disloyal to me, it will not be as simple as beheading! If any of you are scared, it's still too late, and I agree that you will become civilians and go back to live a peaceful life! Your sins will not be punished for this! ”
The reason why they came to join the army was to completely change their poor fate, and being able to become a member of Feng Yaojun was what they hoped for the most! Even if they die in battle, their children and grandchildren will receive corresponding pensions! So that their descendants will live better!
"I am willing to die and serve my life, and go to the soup for the Lord! No backtracking! The pawns said loudly, all of them raised their heads, and their gaze at Feng Yao became extremely determined.
At this time, Dai Ling and others also led Xiong Wei to arrive, and they were overjoyed when they saw this, and after cheering for a while, Feng Yao ordered Xu Chu to lead Hu Wei and the injured soldiers back to Qu County first, and informed Xu Shu to send another army to clean up the battlefield.
After Yuan Ao re-secured the ship, he left his soldiers to guard it and came to see Feng Yao in person.
"My lord! It's a good idea to see for yourself what's on board! ”
Feng Yaozheng had this intention, so he ordered Xiong Wei to send 500 people to guard the wharf, and the rest of Xiong Wei separated, and went on the ship to search first, and guarded at least two Xiong Wei on each boat, and then led Dai Ling, Yang Wu, Jian Yong and 200 relatives to board the captured sea ship.
These ships were two-tiered, and on the bottom floor, some of them were filled with cloth, gold and silver, weapons, and armor, some were loaded with livestock, and some of them had a large number of female slaves under their bilges!
In addition to these differences, all ships were loaded with a certain amount of grain and fresh water, and each ship had at least about 1,000 stone of grain, and a total of more than 600 ships were captured, and the amount of grain alone reached 600,000 stone! That's enough for an army of 10,000 men and the servants on board for about three years!
At the bottom of each ship were ten slaves chained, and these slaves were the coolies who were imprisoned by the Mi family and used to paddle when there was no wind!
Feng Yao saw that these coolies were locked, and after asking, he learned that they couldn't get any wages at all, and after the Mi family tricked them into the ship, he locked them in chains at the bottom of the boat to prevent them from contacting the outside world.
Jian Yong didn't know about this, and he didn't know that the Mi family was so dark and cruel, and said angrily: "Lord, I can't imagine that the Mi family actually got rich by such means!" Shaking his head, he sighed: "Of the more than 300 ships that escaped, there are still nearly 4,000 coolies who have to continue to live in such a painful way because of my fault!" ”
Feng Yao asked Jian Yong: "Xianhe, what do you think we should do with these male slaves!" ”
Jian Yong said: "I didn't know these details before, but I have heard that the families of some male slaves have come to look for their relatives, and the answer given by the Mi family is either that they were killed by pirates, or that they fell ill and died at sea, and then paid a little money to send their relatives away!" ”
"I think some of these male slaves have been away from home for more than ten years! And in the past ten years, the world has been in turmoil, and their relatives may not be still alive in the world, if they are all let go or forcibly stay and continue to use them is not appropriate, the best way is to let them choose voluntarily, if they go home, they can give them some money, if they are willing to stay, they can pay them, so that they feel that their lives are meaningful! ”
Feng Yao nodded, and ordered his subordinates to treat these male slaves well.
Every time they walked to the bilge of a ship, the male slaves who had been replaced by their masters had their eyes shining, looking at Feng Yao and his party expectantly, hoping to be free, and some even knelt on the ground and cried and begged, Feng Yao really wanted to release them immediately, but he was worried that the scene might be out of control, after all, if they were all released, this would be six thousand male slaves, and Feng Yao's current strength controlling these ships was only more than 3,000 people!
"Don't worry, don't worry, when the inventory is clear tomorrow, I will let you go! Please wait another night! ”
Feng Yao kept comforting these male slaves, repeating the same words! Later, Dai Ling, Yang Wu and other relatives casually did not let Feng Yao speak again, but took the initiative to convey Feng Yao's meaning: "Don't worry, my lord already knows your suffering, wait one more night, and after finding out the details of everyone, you will be free!" ”
On some ships, female slaves are kept in prisons, but the treatment of female slaves is much better than that of male slaves, but it is simple, every ten people are locked in a cage, there are no hands locked, no body is tied, and female slaves can also sleep freely in the cage. (To be continued.) )
