Chapter 33: The Disgusting System

Although the woman finally spoke, her accent was very strange, it seemed to be a northland accent, and her Chinese was not standard. Therefore, Zhang Wuji asked her in Mongolian.

When the woman heard Zhang Wuji's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then replied in the same Mongolian: "Yes, is Engong also a Mongolian?" ”

Zhang Wuji shook his head and said, "No! I'm Han! And it's a rebel! ”

Hearing that Zhang Wuji was also a member of the Righteous Army, the woman couldn't help but take two steps back in fright.

Zhang Wuji saw her scared look, so he said: "You can rest assured, our righteous army is doing the right thing for the sky, and we have the way to cut down the non-way." Before that, Mingzun had also repeatedly ordered that no matter whether it was Meng or Han, as long as it was a civilian, no harm would be allowed. ”

"I," the woman still said in accented Chinese. But as soon as she said a word, she stopped talking.

Zhang Wuji also saw the distrust in her eyes.

Zhang Wuji then said: "There are also bastards in Mingzun's team, but for this kind of bastard who violates the iron discipline of the army, it is good to kill it as before." Mingzun's original intention was to let everyone regardless of Han, Mongolian, and color. As long as the people who want to live a peaceful life are the people who want to live a peaceful life, then they are all Li people under the rule of Ming Zun. And the expulsion of the Tartars is only the expulsion of Hu Yuan's harmful militia generals. It's not about exterminating ordinary people. ”

The woman lowered her head. And Zhang Wuji didn't say anything more when he saw this. Then turn around and leave.

At this moment, the woman stopped Zhang Wuji and said, "Engong, please leave your name and surname, I will definitely find a way to repay you in the future." ”

Zhang Wuji turned around at this time and looked at the girl again. He asked, "You don't need to repay me or anything, just answer me a few questions." Listening to your accent like a person from the Northland, how can you be in Jiangnan? How did they get here? ”

The woman sighed at this time, and just wanted to speak, but felt that her mouth was dry. I couldn't help but whimper twice.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuji handed her the water, and then said, "Drink some water, eat something, I still have some time now, you can talk slowly." ”

The woman nodded. Then she sat down, took a sip of water, and then gulped down the dry food given by Zhang Wuji.

She was so hungry that she ate the whole ration in three or two bites. If she hadn't had this saliva, she would have choked to death.

After eating a piece of bread, the woman let out a few breaths and said, "Engong, my name is 'Musha', and I am a Mongolian who lives in Chuanlong. ”

At this time, the woman looked at Zhang Wuji and said seriously: "Engong, although Musa and Abba are Mongolians, we have never hurt the Han people. ”

Zhang Wuji didn't want to hear this, so he immediately interrupted: "Okay! I know, I know! It's just that you live in Chuanlong. It's thousands of miles away, how did you get here? Could it be that they were caught? ”

Mu Sha shook her head at this time and said, "Mu Sha was indeed robbed, but it was not robbed by you Han people. ”

Zhang Wuji was very strange when he heard this, and then asked, "Oh? Since it wasn't robbed by us Han Chinese, who was it? It won't be you Mongols themselves. ”

Musa nodded and said, "Yes, just two months ago, Musa and Abba were going to shepherd the sheep. The officers and soldiers snatched the sheep with me. Abba was whipped by them and fell, and now I don't know what happened. ”

Seeing this girl's declining expression, Zhang Wuji comforted: "Don't worry, good people have the blessing of the emperor, and your father will be fine." ”

Musa nodded, then sighed as well. She continued to tell her story.

After Musa was snatched by the Mongol cavalry, he was taken to Wang Baobao's military camp to work as a prostitute. After that, he followed the Mongolian army from Sichuan to Jiangnan.

Just a few days ago, she escaped from the Mongol camp while the guards were unprepared, but Jiangnan was the base camp of the anti-Yuan. Her Chinese was not very good, so she was quickly recognized as a Mongolian. Even if Chen Youliang's soldiers who were on patrol were arrested as spies.

And the person who captured her was the centurion who was killed by Zhang Wuji before.

The centurion saw that Musa was not a Han Chinese, but also a "homeless", so he secretly took her to the camp to have fun, and when he was done playing, he would kill her, as long as she did it cleanly, nothing would happen. So the poor little girl was arrested and put into the Han barracks.

Although this little girl's experience was very tragic, Zhang Wuji was more curious about another thing at this time.

Zhang Wuji asked, "You said before that you were captured by the Mongols to be a camp prostitute. Don't they know that you are a Mongol? ”

Musa replied, "It is precisely because I am a Mongol that they have captured me." ”

"Huh?" When Zhang Wuji heard this, he was even more puzzled in his heart.

He knew about the prostitute system, which was a common system in the ancient army. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, or to prevent them from harming women from good families, this system was created.

Most of the prostitutes were taken captive by enemy women, as well as the families of the prisoners of the Zhulian Nine Clans.

It's just that Zhang Wuji felt that this system was rubbish, so after Zhang Wuji officially became emperor in Bianjing, he issued an order to abolish this system.

And the Han rebels still nominally obeyed Zhang Wuji. So everyone abolished the system. Therefore, there were not even half a woman in the camp of the rebels.

He knew that the Mongol military camp still retained this system, but generally the Mongol army only plundered Han Chinese women. When Zhang Wuji traveled all the way south, he saw many looted villages.

And he hadn't heard of robbing his own people.

Seeing the doubts on Zhang Wuji's face, Mu Sha seemed to see the doubts in Zhang Wuji's heart.

So Musa said, "That's right. I once heard from the officers who served that the northern land is still in the hands of the Great Yuan court. In order to appease the Han people in the north and avoid the rebellion between the north and the south. Therefore, the Taishi of Tokhtar issued a strict order not to rob the Han women in the jurisdiction of the Great Yuan. And the expedition is imminent, so Mongolian women can only be recruited to serve. ”

"Abba had also received a conscription order from the imperial court before, saying that the Mongols should sacrifice their lives for the Great Khan and the Great Yuan. But Abba was my daughter, so he took me to the mountains. But unfortunately it still didn't dodge. Ay~! ”

Zhang Wuji stroked her head and said, "Okay, anyway, the matter has passed, and now you are free to escape." In the future, you have to take care of yourself. ”

Mu Sha looked at Zhang Wuji and said, "Engong, Mu Sha is very worried about Abba. Musa wanted to go home. For Engong's kindness, I can only report it in the future. I also asked Engong to leave his name and surname. Where does the family live, when Musa comes home to visit Abba, no matter what the result is, Musa will come to find Engong and repay Engong's kindness. ”

Zhang Wuji smiled at this time and said, "Okay, the information you provided is very important, and you have already repaid me." Then Zhang Wuji took out another ingot of silver, and he said, "This money is enough for you to go home as a plate." ”

But at this time, Zhang Wuji grabbed a handful of dirt and smeared it on the woman's face, she was embarrassed, and she looked even more unkempt.

Zhang Wuji said: "Don't take a bath along the way." That's the safest way to do it. And your Chinese language is really bad, it's better for you to pretend to be dumb along the way. I hope Immortal Heaven will bless you to return home safely! If there is a fate, we will meet. ”

After saying that, Zhang Wuji turned around and left.

Spoilers in advance, this little girl will be of great help later.
