Although there were thousands of people in the Anxi Tang Army, there were only more than 1,000 people who were qualified to participate in folding and throwing river grass. Women and children, of course, were not among the weeds, and there were hundreds of adult men who were not eligible - that is, the hundreds of captives.
In the battle of Broken Leaf Burning City, the Tang army captured many prisoners, a total of 471 prisoners, all of them were strong and strong, but their races were very mixed, about nearly 100 people were Turgish, fifty or sixty were Bahanna, seventy or eighty were Zhaowu tribes, more than 30 were Qarluq, and there were only more than 40 people in the real Hui Dynasty, and more than 100 people were unclear about the origin of the family, and the mixed blood was very mixed, among which there were forty or fifty traced back to the source, and it seemed that there was the blood of the Tang people.
In this era, manpower is productivity and combat effectiveness, the Anxi Tang Army is far away, to develop and grow, in addition to adult men and women stepping up the action of creating people, but also absorbing the population of the surrounding ethnic groups, the Tang Dynasty has a very set of methods to treat the people who come to return to the Hu, the Anxi Tang Army has survived in the Western Regions for so many years, from the high-level to the ordinary people, the experience of managing and assimilating the Guihu people is very rich, and a unique set of "naturalization etiquette" has been formed.
After Zhang Mai joined, he provided some of his own construction in the spark, and the original naturalization ceremony of the Anxi Tang Army was very complete, but the progress of naturalization was a little vague, that is to say, how could these captives and Hu people become their own people? Do you have to live with the Tang people for a few years? Or do you have to have an in-law relationship with Tang Min? Or do you need to take some credit? None of the exact rules are there. It seems that everyone has lived together for a long time, and they know each other well and trust each other, so they treat each other as their own.
After Zhang Mai learned about this situation, he introduced the concept of promotion at all levels, sorted out all links, and turned the "naturalization etiquette system" into three levels: "Fang Gui Tang Min", "Tang Min to be examined" and "Tang Min to enter China".
Fang Gui Tang Min is a prisoner who has just been captured, this part of the people in the Tang army is similar to a slave, the food is also the worst, but they are not abused, and they carry out the work of formation, monitored and driven by the head of the household designated by the elders, generally a family is responsible for keeping an eye on a person, and at the same time regularly do work for them, and those who enter the military department are arranged by the generals, and do some groceries under the hands of the soldiers, unlike the Hu people who only serve as slaves after catching the captives, the Tang army treats these captives in addition to driving them out and carrying out ideological education. After a certain period of observation, if the head of the household felt that these captives really had the sincerity to join the Tang Army and could already speak basic daily Chinese, he could responsibly recommend them to join the "pending examination".
The Tang people to be examined were prisoners of surrender who had been investigated for a period of time, or people from the Western Regions who voluntarily belonged to them, and they could enjoy the freedoms stipulated by the Tang law, but they still had to sit in the army during the war, and their food was also improved compared to "Fang Gui", and they could be used as stormtroopers or logistics sergeants in wartime. After a period of time without committing discipline and no problem communicating in Chinese, a person who has become a Tang citizen to be admitted to the examination can apply for admission to China through the recommendation of the elders of the Li Li and the lieutenant of the battalion to which he belongs.
After entering China, everyone is their own people, or arrange logistics work for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, or enter the military department to become soldiers after training, Guo Shidao and Yang Dingguo's daily heaviest work is to train these people.
The concept of "the strong are respected by the elders, and the weak are servants" is very common in the Western Regions, and if you defeat the captives in battle, you naturally have to be the slaves of the victorious side, and your physical life belongs to the victors, and it is even more common to be insulted and whipped. When the 471 people were just captured, they had already been mentally prepared to be slaves, and when they discovered that the Tang army had such a policy, many of them had the enthusiasm to work and study, but because the days were still shallow, none of the more than 400 people had the qualifications to throw into the river.
On this day, Guo Fen's orthodox family, the "Fang Gui Tang Min" who changed his name to Guo Luge, spoke Chinese, but saw his cousin Guo Taixing hurriedly running into the tent, Guo Taixing gave a look, Guo Fen said to Guo Luge: "Brother Lu, you go to the stable and have a look." ”
After Brother Guo Lu went out, Guo Fen said: "Brother Taihang, Brother Lu can understand our words, and he is honest, I have recommended him to be tested after a few days, and I am willing to give him a guarantee." ”
"Waiting to be examined? Too soon, let's talk about it. Guo Taixing casually dealt with Guo Fen, but came to Guo Shidao's side and said, "Uncle, something happened." ”
"Huh? Has the wheat changed? Or is there a disease in the sheep and horses? Guo Shidao was very vigilant, because Guo Taixing was in charge of Cangcao, he took into account the matter of food.
"No, it's not, it's Envoy Zhang, he ......"
"What's wrong with Envoy Zhang?" Not only did Guo Shidao ask, but Guo Fen also pricked up his ears when he heard that it was related to Zhang Mai.
He went from house to house to lobby for people to vote for him...... Isn't this a mess? ”
Guo Shidao was stunned, although he was deep and resourceful, but after the meeting was dispersed, he would wait for the news at home with peace of mind, just waiting for the results tomorrow, but he didn't expect Zhang Mai to canvass for votes.
"Uncle, you have to take care of this matter, if it goes on like this, our military and people's hearts will be chaotic."
Before Guo Shidao could speak, Guo Fen interjected first: "Brother Taihang, why did Special Envoy Zhang mess with our military and people's hearts?" ”
Guo Taixing said: "After today's gathering was dispersed, not long after everyone left here, he suddenly ran to the military tent of the first fire of the second team of the Leopard Tao Battalion to talk to those soldiers. ”
"What did he say?"
"This ...... Generally speaking, it is said that there is a conspiracy for the Hui people to negotiate peace with us this time, and if we negotiate peace with them, there will be no good result, so we want everyone to support him and vote for Hecao to him. He is eloquent and convenient, and most of our sergeants are simple men, where can he stand up to him? They were all very excited by him, and they followed him to the military tent next door, and they were still the same words. Not only did he go from one military tent to another, but he also asked the sergeants who had listened to him to speak elsewhere. Now there are more than a dozen military tents outside, and every time he goes to a military tent to speak, there is a circle of people outside, and now after saying a few words, some people applaud......
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of applause outside the tent, Guo Taixing said indignantly: "Listen! Uncle, listen! He, in that direction, should be the military tent of the Flying Bear Battalion, he actually ran to the Flying Bear Camp to say! ”
Guo Fen put his ears against the tent cloth, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Guo Taixing shouted: "He is a special envoy, he is a messenger, he has the right to supervise the army, and no one dares to take care of him when he enters and leaves the barracks, and now only you can take care of him." We can't let him break the rules of the Anxi Army. ”
At this time, there were a few faint shouts from the military tent of the Flying Bear Camp, and Guo Fen couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard it, and thought: "I don't know what he is talking about, talking about a group of soldiers with strict military discipline so excited." I remembered Zhang Mai's appearance of talking in the military tent, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even more obvious, so he wanted to take a look, and when he came back to his senses, he found that his mother, Mrs. Guo, was looking at him, as if he had seen something, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
At this time, hearing Guo Taixing say that he couldn't Zhang Mai and he broke the rules of the Anxi Army, Guo Fen couldn't help but interject: "Brother Taihang, did Special Envoy Zhang violate the rules of my Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate?" ”
Guo Taixing was stunned, and couldn't tell which rule Zhang Mai had violated for a while, so he held back for a while and shouted: "He gathered a crowd to make trouble!" ”
Guo Fen smiled: "What is he doing, don't forget that he is a messenger, can he still incite everyone to rebel?" As for what to say about gathering people, it is also that everyone is willing to listen to him, Brother Taihang, your Cangcao military management is too lenient, what rules does Special Envoy Zhang really violate, and Zhang Facao's iron face is there, so you don't need to worry about it. ”
Guo Taixing was speechless by her: "You, you...... Okay, sister, how can you help outsiders talk! ”
"What outsiders, insiders?" Guo Fen said: "I am helping but not helping relatives. Now you are coming to my dad to complain that someone has broken the rules, so you have to point out which rule they have violated. You can't tell the truth yourself, how can I help you speak? ”
Guo Taixing was so blocked by her that he couldn't speak, but when he saw the tent curtain lifted, a person rushed in angrily, but it was Yang Dingguo, the veteran's face was full of anger, and said: "Evil animal! Evil animals! This beast! ”
Seeing that he was so angry, Mrs. Guo hurriedly asked, "In-laws, what's wrong with you?" Who made you so angry? ”
"Who else! It's my unscrupulous son! actually took Tang Renxiao, Ding Hanshan and others to run around camp by camp, spreading rumors and talking, and demagoguery! I asked Sang Gan to arrest him back, and he actually said that he was doing office work, so let Sang Gan not disturb him! I was about to arrest him myself, but he dodged in advance, I found the Leopard Tao Camp, he hid in the Flying Bear Camp, I found the Flying Bear Camp, he ran to the Xiao Riding Camp, what a bastard thing! ”
He spoke, his white beard fluttered, his chest heaved, and he was so angry that he couldn't do it. Mrs. Guo even persuaded and persuaded for a while, and his anger calmed down a little, but she said: "Old Guo, in the final analysis, this matter is still on Special Envoy Zhang. He's an envoy, and I can't say anything about him, but you'll have to take care of him. Now the soldiers of the three battalions have been said to be fluctuating, if you don't care about him anymore, I'm afraid that there will be a leak. ”
At this moment, Yang Dingguo's adopted son Yang Sanggan came in, and Yang Dingguo asked, "What, did you find that beast?" ”
"Nope." Yang Sanggan was in his thirties, thin, and looked shrewd and capable, looked at Guo Shidao, and said, "But when I found Liu Sima's tent, I saw where Ah Luo was, and it seemed that he was also saying those words. ”
Yang Dingguo sighed: "Even Ah Luo was bewitched? Are they going to bewitch Junqing? Lao Guo, now even your son is trapped, you really have to take care of it! ”
Guo Shidao groaned: "Special Envoy Zhang went to persuade account by account, this matter is a bit frivolous. But to say that he broke the rules, he never did. It's just that now the movement of the Hui people is not clear to the outside world, and there is still a group of Hui people here internally. ”
Then he called Yang Sanggan: "You go and order the soldiers of each battalion, no onlookers, no coaxing, no shouting." Violators will be dealt with by military discipline! ”
Yang Sanggan asked: "...... envoy over there?"
Guo Shidao said: "Special Envoy Zhang is our supervising army, he wants to talk to the soldiers, so we can't interfere." However, if you tell him what I said, tell him to pay attention to it, because after all, it is still at wartime, and if you disrupt the order of the barracks, it will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”
When Yang Sanggan received the order, another person passed in, but it was Yang Dingguo, who came to report the military situation on the front line, and it turned out that Guo Shiyong sent scouts to gallop out of seventy or eighty miles to the east to do fan-shaped reconnaissance, and no trace of the enemy was found along the way. Guo Shiyong is a hundred miles away from the southeast, and his scouts are seventy miles away, so he is safe within two hundred miles, and no matter what the military situation is, the Anxi Tang army will have enough time to deal with it.
This is good news, everyone in the tent was relieved when they heard it, and Yang Dingguo said: "It seems that the Hui people really didn't send a large army to come." ”
Guo Shidao nodded, his eyelids drooped, he thought for a moment, and said to Yang Dingbang: "You give the order to go down, the three battalions in the rear, except for the rotating sergeant, everyone else should go home for dinner and reunion." ”
Guo Taixing said: "Uncle, the envoy is looking for people to talk to everywhere......"
Before he finished speaking, Guo Shidao had already waved his hand and said, "Everyone's own net worth and life, everyone will take care of themselves, why are you in a hurry." After a pause, he said to his daughter: "Fen'er, go and see how your sister-in-law's food is being organized, and if it is rectified, call my brother back for dinner." ”
