Chapter 45: Stealing People

Gao Huaiyuan was confused by Jia Qi's cold question, and asked rhetorically: "What if you don't send them to Xiangyang?" Can't you just let them go? You don't want Hu Zaixing to punish me again for the crime of privately parachuting soldiers, let me move my head! ”

"No, no! The young master said where did you go! Judge's head shook like a rattle.

"Oh? What's the hell in your head? Tell me about it! Gao Huaiyuan looked at the gurgling of Jia Qi's eyes, and he could see that this guy had come up with some ghost ideas, during this time he had found that Jia Qi this kid belonged to the sullen type of guy, usually he didn't look very good, but his brain was definitely good, and there were a lot of bad ideas, he could already be his dog-headed military advisor, so he immediately asked Jia Qi.

"The little one didn't say that he wouldn't let the young master send these soldiers to the Xiangyang camp, but I just thought it was a pity to send them to the Xiangyang camp for nothing! Because of the small discovery in the past two days, some of these people should be useful to our Crouching Tiger Village, and hand them over to the army to deal with them, it's a pity, although these people will not be killed, but they can only be sent to the bitter cold land as slaves in the future, why don't you take this opportunity to make a profit? Jia Qi's little brain swayed, and he touched his bare chin with his hand and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

After Gao Huaiyuan heard this, his heart suddenly jumped a few times, this guy really dared to think about it! He should have seen what he was thinking by now, so he would turn his mind to these soldiers.

"Oh? If you talk about it carefully, what can these people do? Gao Huaiyuan glanced at the surroundings and saw that there were no idle people waiting around, so he immediately asked Jia Qi.

"Hey, hey! Young master, the little one has already seen that you don't plan to join the army now, sooner or later you will have to go back to our Daye County Crouching Tiger Village! I'm afraid that the young master's ambition is definitely not to be content with a half-official position in the Great Song Army! So I think about it, the young master will definitely return to Crouching Tiger Village in the future!

Therefore, in the past few days, Xiao Xiao has been paying attention to this group of soldiers, and taking the opportunity to enthrone them and make a book, let our brothers ask them clearly by the way what their gang used to do, not to mention the farming, some of them really have some skills!

Young master, please see, this is a detailed list that the little one has pulled out in the past two days, and a total of more than forty people have been selected, and the little ones have also considered them, they are all capable guys!

If these people are handed over to Song Jun and assigned to do coolies, it will be a waste, and our Crouching Tiger Village is now lacking some craftsmen, so it is better to get these people back to our Crouching Tiger Village, and then go around to find craftsmen in the future!

These people are now captured by us, and they already know their future out, as long as the young master gives them a favor, the little one dares to guarantee that these people will be loyal to the young master! Don't spend money on a group of clever craftsmen, does the young master think this deal is cost-effective? Jia Qi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Gao Huaiyuan, and gave Gao Huaiyuan an idea with a hint of a thief smile.

After Gao Huaiyuan heard Jia Qi's words, he immediately became overjoyed, reached out to take the list in Jia Qi's hand, and looked down.

The list is densely packed with the names of more than 40 people, and each person's strengths are indicated in order from top to bottom, only to see that it is written:

Gan Xiaoer: 31 years old, a native of Xingzhou, Hebei, a blacksmith, proficient in casting, making various weapons and farm tools;

Li Fugui: 26 years old, a native of Yingchuan, Henan, a carpenter, proficient in various carpentry crafts and skilled craftsmen;

Jin Tong: Thirty-seven years old, from Bianliang, coppersmith, proficient in bronze casting;

Ma Bing: 32 years old, from Taiyuan, Shanxi, a jeweler, proficient in the creation of various jewelry, skillful craftsman;

Qin Hu: Twenty-eight years old, a native of Xiangzhou, Hebei, a carpenter, a hunter, proficient in making various bows and crossbows, and good at shooting.

Xu Feng: 30 years old, from Mizhou, Shandong, stonemason, good at carving architecture.

Bai Santong: 29 years old, from Jinanfu, Shandong, jade ......

After watching it, Gao Huaiyuan felt a little dizzy, if these people were collected together, they could really open a large-scale workshop, and they could do everything, especially when he saw two craftsmen who had worked in the copper mines of the Jin Kingdom, and now he was short of this kind of person at hand, and he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to come to it!

In addition to these people, he even saw a Lang Zhong in the list, there was really no one in the Jin Kingdom, and even Lang Zhong was brought in to fight as a soldier, wouldn't this cheapen him for nothing?

"Hey...... Hey...... Hehe......! Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but start smirking while watching, fortunately Judge paid attention to this matter today, otherwise he would really let these capable people slip out of his hands.

Although he is conceited and has knowledge that many ancients in later generations do not know, but after all, a lot of his knowledge is only on paper, and he doesn't know how to implement it at all, and he is not an all-rounder, just a student who graduated from the police academy, and he is half-informed in many professions, and when he really wants to make something, he still can't do without the help of skilled craftsmen in this era, but once he needs to make fresh objects in his imagination, it is inevitable that he will not be able to implement it because he can't find a suitable craftsman, even if he finds a craftsman, There is also a confidentiality issue, and I don't feel comfortable teaching them some things that need to be kept confidential, so sometimes, it is inevitable that they will be restricted.

Now if there are these people, then many of the things he thought about before can be put into practice, first of all, these people are from the Jin Kingdom, and they are soldiers, as long as they are brought back to Crouching Tiger Village, there is no fear that they will not have the same heart as themselves, or betray themselves, and it will be much easier to do many things in the future.

After thinking of this, Gao Huaiyuan immediately made up his mind, saying that he would also get these people back to his Crouching Tiger Village, and he must not let them go.

"Good! Jia Qi, you have made another contribution to our Crouching Tiger Village this time, I will write it down for you! Now let's sum up the details, first of all, are these people willing to settle down in our Crouching Tiger Village? Gao Huaiyuan smiled and patted Judge's shoulder with a smile.

"Although the young master can rest assured, these people are not stupid, they know what the outcome will be in the future, so they were sent by the Song army to the wilderness to suffer and wait for death, it is better to follow the young master to Crouching Tiger Village to do it, and these people have no choice in addition, as long as the young master is willing, the small one is responsible for persuading them, as long as they are given a clear reason, the small one guarantees that they will be attached to the young master!" Judge immediately patted his chest and assured it.

"Hmmm! OK! And draw the list of the remaining surrendered troops, and look for it again, those who have the ability must not let go, they are all selected for me, and find a way to get them back! Pay special attention to see if there are any people who have worked in copper or iron mines, and there are people who know how to smelt copper or iron, all of them are collected for me! "Gao Huaiyuan is a little greedy and insufficient.

"This is no problem, young master, don't worry, the list is here, I'll draw it again at night!" Judge nodded and noted the matter.

"Oh no, I'm so happy that I forget one thing! I'm afraid we won't be able to do that! When Gao Huaiyuan was happy, he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly felt depressed again, and suddenly shouted.

"Young Master, are you worried about how to get these people back to Daye County?" Judge asked Gao Huaiyuan with a hint of a smile.

"Not bad! We are now in Zaoyang County, and there is still a long way to go from our Daye County, so many troops, how can we get them back to Daye County! Now that the two countries are at war, various places have set up cards and checks very strictly, once something happens, our Gao family may not be able to escape the catastrophe! It's a bit too adventurous! When Gao Huaiyuan thought of this matter, his good mood just now plummeted and fell to the bottom, he was not worried about himself, but worried that once the incident happened, it was likely to implicate Shaoxing's father Gao Jian.

After such a long time, now Gao Huaiyuan can already feel Gao Jian's love for him, although Gao Jian used to treat Gao Huaiyuan poorly, but since Gao Huaiyuan recovered his senses, Gao Jian has increasingly begun to care about him, although this matter will be of great help to his future development, but if it fails, it will inevitably be unlucky to Gao Jian, Gao Huaiyuan is now unwilling to harm Gao Jian because of him.

"Young Master, don't worry too much! Although the Song and Jin countries are still at war now, don't the private goods between the two countries still come and go? And these people are all Han Chinese, as long as they change their clothes, who can tell that they are northerners! Besides, young master, you are still the township warrior team in Daye County, and you have the road in your hands!

As long as you send some clever people of your own, take these people in batches, take the road and return to Daye County in several ways, don't tell those people where the destination is in advance, spend some money on the way, it shouldn't be a big problem, not to mention that we have basically been here for a year, according to the normal arrangement, the township warriors should also return to their hometowns for rotation, at this time, let these people pretend to be Daye Township Yong to go back to Daye County, there should be no problem! Young master, don't worry too much! Judge said.

Gao Huaiyuan carefully summed it up, and felt that what Jia Qi said was reasonable, the five hundred township warriors who came with him in Daye County this time are less than two hundred people left, and after returning to Xiangyang this time, it is time for them to return home, and a group of township warriors should be rotated again, and by the way, it should not be a problem to bring dozens of people back, not to mention that he is the township soldier escort team in Daye County, and he has the issuance of the road in his hands, and there should be no big problem with the identity of these soldiers.

So after he and Judge summed it up, he made up his mind, and Judge immediately began to go down and operate privately.

He first brought up the skilled craftsmen among the soldiers according to the names on the list, and began to work for them privately, knowing the benefits, and then let them choose, but he did not tell them where he would place them, and promised that if they agreed, he would place them properly, and would never let them suffer.

After more than two days of lobbying by Jia Qi, the soldiers on these lists have figured out the stakes, and now the Song and Jin countries are fighting like a pot of porridge, and the Song people will never let them go back to the north easily, and in the end they can only be reduced to slaves and sent to some wild places as coolies!

Yu was sent by the Song people to suffer in the wild land of the south, and after being tortured, he was left to fend for himself, so it was better to agree to Jia Qi at this time, according to his arrangement, it would be more cost-effective to take refuge in a rich family of the southerners, and to do things for others, and these days, they also knew that if Gao Huaiyuan hadn't asked for their lives at the beginning, they would have been buried deep underground and turned into a pile of dry bones like those dead people.

So for them, Gao Huaiyuan and these people have the grace to live, and in the past few days, Jia Qi has also become familiar with them, and these Song people have not embarrassed them, even if they are good, they have gradually trusted Jia Qi and others, so after getting Jia Qi's assurance, in the end, they all chose to obey Jia Qi's arrangement and go to Daye County with Jia Qi to make a living.

And Judge searched among the remaining soldiers, and once again screened out more than twenty skilled craftsmen, and also completed their work, so that they agreed to accept the arrangement.

After finishing these things, Jia Qi quietly pulled these people out of the army, and in the name of early delivery, personally led the team, led a few Crouching Tiger Village teenagers, took the road box given to them by Gao Huaiyuan, left the area of Taiping Town, and escorted them to the south.

After arriving at Qifang Town, Jia Qi took out the clothes he had prepared, handed them to these soldiers to change into, dressed up as Song people, and under the guidance of him and several Crouching Tiger Village teenagers, he changed his route to Huanglong Town and entered the mountains.

And these people don't dare to flee now, after all, this is an area controlled by the Song army, and they may be interrogated by the Song army at any time everywhere, their northern accent, plus there is no road to show their identity, a mouth will be exposed, and the result is only captured by the Song army again, or killed on the spot, it is better to follow Judge honestly It is safer, so these people did not look for any trouble, after changing their clothes, they dressed up as Song people, did not speak as much as possible along the way, and dispersed into several waves according to Judge Qi's instructions.

This road is a road that Jia Qi discussed with Gao Huaiyuan in advance, it was originally inaccessible in the mountains, there were not many residents, and the Song army's defense of this area was basically very lax, and there were relatively few checkpoints along the way, so it was relatively safe to walk.

What's more, each team has two teenagers to lead the team, with a customs clearance document to prove their identity, and the team's actions are not easy to attract the attention of others, and each team member has some copper coins to use as their road money and checkpoints, even if a team of people has an accident, it will not affect the other teams.

The actual situation is exactly like this, Gao Huaiyuan is a commander after all, and he knows more about the area where the two armies of Song and Jin are fighting, and the route arranged basically forces the place where the two armies are fighting, so that they can walk safer.

Since Jia Qi led these people into Huanglong Town, he never encountered any checkpoints to inquire about their whereabouts, and along the way they reached Hanshui without danger, and then turned to the east, away from the area where Song and Jin were fighting, and walked in the direction of Ezhou.

And after Gao Huaiyuan arranged for Jia Qi and the others to leave quietly, he also began to escort these remaining soldiers towards Xiangyang, and did not abuse these soldiers along the way, so he escorted them back to Xiangyang, and the Jin army is now focusing all its attention on Zaoyang County, so they did not encounter anything like the scout team of the Jin army, and after a few days, they arrived safely at the camp outside Xiangyang City.

For Gao Huaiyuan escorted back so many Jin troops this time, the soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang all learned the news, and learned that the war in Zaoyang was going relatively smoothly, and the Jin soldiers never broke through Zaoyang in a short period of time and invaded Xiangyang, and they were immediately relieved.

Gao Huaiyuan arrived at the camp, and after finding the signing officer and handing over these surrendered troops, he finally got a chance to rest for a period of time, and led the troops to be stationed in the Xiangyang camp, for these surrendered soldiers, he could only do so much, as for their fate in the future, Gao Huaiyuan asked himself, he was powerless to interfere!

In these days when the Xiangyang camp rested, Gao Huaiyuan heard that the Song and Jin wars had undergone new changes, and Jin began to attack the Song Dynasty in the tenth year of Jiading last year to expand the territory, and then ordered the minister of the Jin State Pingzhang to enter the army from Shaanxi, and Xu Ding immediately supervised Yan Alin out of Qinzhou (now Tianshui, Gansu) with the marshal's right capital; Marshal Zuodu supervised Yan Chengyi to send Gongzhou (now Longxi, Gansu), and Fengxiang deputy commander of the army to complete Yan Yun from Fengxiang (now Shaanxi), and the troops were divided into three routes to attack Song Sichuan.

At the beginning of this year, that is, the first month of the eleventh year of Song Jiading, Wanyan Alin's army surrounded the soap suburb fort (now southwest of Tianshui, Gansu), the soap suburb fort was built on the top of the mountain, there were three cities, the Jin army cut off its water source, Lianke two cities, the Song soldiers set fire to break through, Ah Lin killed with foot and cavalry, captured 200 people of Wu Yun and the generals of the Song Dynasty, and seized a large number of horses, grain, grass and armor. Wanyan Yun's army successively broke through the two forts of Zhuchi and Baihuan, and arrived at the Cattle Fort, and Liu Xiong, the commander of the Song Dynasty, abandoned Dasanguan (now southwest of Baoji, Shaanxi) and fled, and the Jin army entered the pass. In February, it was difficult to protect the Great Scattered Pass, and the Jin Army burned the Pass. In March, Wang Yi, the commander of Song Lizhou, led the loyal and righteous army to counterattack Soaojiao Fort, and Wanyan Alin was defeated and fled, and was killed by the soldiers.

And because of the news in ancient times, the events at the beginning of the year did not reach Xiangyang until this time, and Gao Huaiyuan knew about it, so he secretly speculated, I am afraid that this time the Jin Kingdom will not take advantage of the Sichuan area, but it also shows a problem, if the Southern Song Dynasty wants to survive so much, Sichuan will be a lifeline of the Southern Song Dynasty, if the strategy is not good, I am afraid that when the Mongolian army attacks, Sichuan will be broken, and the Southern Song Dynasty will be in danger!

"Young Master! Someone from the camp outside the camp said that they would like to invite you to the city, but I don't know what is going on! Just when Gao Huaiyuan was pondering about Sichuan, Zhou Hao walked in from the outside.

"What? Who is looking for me? What is the matter with him looking for me? Gao Huaiyuan suddenly had an ominous premonition, feeling that something seemed to be happening!

(Dear friends, I wish you all a happy New Year's Day!) )
