Chapter 150: Infiltration (Fifth Watch)

"The plan is actually very simple, the source of the money lies in the homeless!" Zhao Yu smiled confidently.

"Outcasts?" Slok was puzzled: "What kind of money do the homeless people have, if they want to have money, they won't come out to rob it!" ”

"Displaced people don't have money, but they are money in themselves!"

What are the vagrants, they are peasant households, they are free people, they are generally outsiders, they have their own land to make a living, they are the legal people of Rome, but they can't eat for various reasons, they have to come out in the winter to grab a wave, so that the people at home can make a living, and when they grab enough food and money, or as soon as the winter is over, they will become ordinary people again!

Under what circumstances are outcasts valuable? Becoming a slave, of course!

Exiles generally have several fates: one is to die on the way to loot or be hunted down, the second is to go home to live a good life, as long as they return home, they are good citizens, and the third is to be caught by the army and become slaves!

That's right, the exiles who plundered all over the world were caught, and according to the law, they were to be turned into slaves.

As soon as Zhao Yu explained like this, everyone understood, but this feasibility was not high: "Of course we know that we can do this, but the homeless people are not stupid, stand and let you be arrested, we can't beat such a few people!" Even if you beat it, people will run away! ”

This is indeed a problem, this is also the reason why the homeless people are grouped, the homeless people in the group are not something that a small group of troops can deal with, and naturally they will not be arrested, so it is the army that has been doing this business before, but it has to wait until the spring is about to start, under the dripping winter rain, the soldiers don't like to move their muscles.

Zhao Yu also has a countermeasure for this, that is, to sneak in.

The best thing to defeat is always the inside, Zhao Yu plans to infiltrate the homeless team with the rice bucket, they are slaves, and no homeless person will suspect them, because the homeless people will also be mixed with some slaves who take the opportunity to escape.

"As long as you follow from afar, I will leave a mark for you, and before dawn tomorrow, please ask Lord Slok to bring troops and ropes to capture the displaced people who have been subdued by us!"

"But how do you subdue the homeless?" Senatia asked, I'm afraid it will take a long time to do it among so many homeless people.

"Master, have you forgotten what you were robbed of?" Zhao Yu smiled evilly, this is the heavens are helping him!

The plan was there, and the chances of success were not low, so everyone began to act, and there were ten cavalrymen in Slock's squad, and it was only an hour or two to run to Carthage, and they would go to the city to buy a lot of hemp rope for half a day.

And Zhao Yu and Fan Bucket dressed up a little, and the two of them wiped some mud on their faces and changed into more shabby clothes, this is because they opened the killing ring among the homeless people, and someone will recognize them.

Then Zhao Yu and the two set off first, heading to the winery, Slok would follow from a distance, and when they entered the woods, they needed Zhao Yu's mark.

When Zhao Yu and the others entered the winery, the looting was not over, after all, it didn't arrive for an hour, the two pretended to be homeless people and joined in the search, and no homeless people reacted to this, everyone joined in this way, and after looking for a while, the rice bucket was a fifty-pound wine barrel in one hand, and Zhao Yu was carrying a bag of rice grain, waiting for the evacuation of the large army.

In his spare time, Zhao Yu observed the actions of the displaced people, and found that they were basically unorganized and undisciplined, and there were a few figures who could be regarded as issuing orders, which were estimated to be the more prestigious among them, and the general goals and actions of the displaced people were formulated, but they were only formulated, and whether they would be implemented were two different things.

There are no women in the ranks of the homeless, after all, this is a real thing to do, and all of them are men, relatively speaking, men are more able to endure hardships, run more and carry more.

In addition to the female slaves around Senatia, the winery itself also has twenty or thirty female slaves, responsible for laundry, cooking, feeding poultry, etc., although they are all aunt-level characters, but they can't bear the homeless people are not picky eaters, one is counted as a whole wheel of rice, as long as the looting lasts, the atrocities will last for as long, everywhere, some emaciated and weak have died, miserable.

Zhao Yu said that there was nothing he could do about it, although he could save it, it would ruin the plan, and it was too late for them to come, and it was estimated that death would be a relief.

In the end, the plunder lasted more than two hours, and by the evening, all the wine and food, as well as the things that could be used, were emptied, and the homeless people burned down the winery as usual, as a funeral for the dead homeless, and then carried them one by one, and returned with a full load, and hid in the woods.

On the way, the rice bucket rarely asked Zhao Yu: "Zhao, why do you want to take them as slaves?" Aren't you going to free the slaves? Isn't it to build a communist society? ”

Zhao Yu was asked, does this need to be said, of course how to do it, if it weren't for the punishment challenge, which fool would have the kung fu to care about the life and death of your slaves.

However, the rice bucket is his henchman, and if he doesn't explain it well, there may be a gap, so Zhao Yu thought for a while and asked back: "Do you think what they did should be punished?" ”

"Right?" The rice bucket said uncertainly: "But they can't survive. . . ”

"If you can't live, you can make trouble and rob it." This idea is a bit wrong, but people in this era generally think this way: "But look at those slave girls, what did they do wrong?" They were only enslaved, so why didn't the homeless people spare these poor women? You know, they are not an obstacle to the survival of the homeless. ”

The rice bucket has nothing to say.

"They are not innocent, and their hands are covered with blood, arresting them as slaves for a while can make them reflect on what they have done, which is not contradictory to the fact that we want to free slaves, and when the slaves are emancipated, we will abolish the slave system, and when the time comes, there will be a law to punish them, let them go to prison, and let them be reformed through labor." Zhao Yu thoughtfully explained: "This is just a temporary punishment. ”

The rice bucket was convinced, but Zhao Yu felt that it was not enough, and added again: "What do you think is the root cause of this situation now?" ”

"The Emperor's policy?" The rice bucket said hesitantly, this is also from others.

"The fundamental reason is the system, the republic is a good system, but now it has changed its taste, the ascendancy of Emperor Commodus is the demise of the republic, talented and moral people cannot lead the country in a good direction again, the country's policies are all from a tyrant, do you think this is normal? Can the people live a good life? Can slaves be emancipated? (The Roman Republic was a Zen concession system)

Without waiting for the rice bucket to answer, Zhao Yu said again: "Of course not, so if we want to liberate the slaves, so that all people are equal and can live a good life, we must kill the tyrant, overthrow the imperial system, and establish a new and perfect ** system!" And now, I already have a general direction, and this group of outcasts can help me gain the trust of Senatia and thus get closer to this goal! ”

The rice bucket was dumbfounded, his brain couldn't keep up with the rhythm, but he understood Zhao Yuhongda's wish to kill the emperor? Looks pretty awesome, it's done!
