stubborn thief

Chapter 265
Outside the main building of the manor, Monk Wang squatted in the sun with his hands in his hands, feeling uneasy.

Counting it, it has been five days since he was captured from the battlefield by that Han soldier named Wai Liangzi.

For five days, I was in fear, not knowing what kind of encounter I would experience.

Monk Wang's wonderful journey on the battlefield began when he was tied up and thrown on the ground, with a helmet covering his head, and he couldn't see anything.

He heard people shouting to kill, felt the horseshoe tremor, and some even thought he was a corpse, and fired a musket on his stomach.

The battle line was far and near, lying on the ground and thinking about ten thousand times, how to explain what happened to the nobles of Bai Lijun, when the helmet was lifted, the man with the crooked nose appeared in front of him.

Monk Wang will never forget the scene he saw when the helmet was taken off.

Crooked Liangzi's cotton armor had three broken arrows pierced into his chest, an ax mark was cut on the brow of his helmet, his face was scabbed with blood, and he said lightly: "The battle is over."

Looking back at the battlefield, there were corpses strewn all over the field and blood flowing all over the ground. Among the figures still standing, apart from the captives, there was not a single member of the Bai Li Army.

He is very afraid of these monsters.

On the night when the war ended, the horses outside the manor neighed for half the night, and the sound of soldiers in armor walking in line lingered in his dreams.

When he woke up the next day, Monk Wang realized that the noise the night before was not a dream, and that Han soldiers were everywhere inside and outside the manor.

When changing the medicine for the crooked Wai Liangzi, who had shaved his head, Wai Liangzi said that his generalissimo had come.

Monk Wang was born on the east bank of the Jinsha River, where there is a river called Sequ. He grew up by the river, the eldest son of a small headman.

This time I went out with the army, just because one Ruben suffered from stomach problems all the year round, so I asked him to be a doctor with the army.

Dan Bei Daiben, who commands an army, is already an unattainable nobleman in his eyes... But just this morning, Wai Liangzi told him that the generalissimo might meet him.

Monk Wang waited for a long time, and finally the guards who came to convey the order were led to the third floor in a very disturbed mood.

In the spacious living room on the third floor, he saw several Lion Army generals in different costumes, talking to the map.

There were several sets of armor worn by the Tiger Heroes of the Baili Army on the cushions next to them. Someone was sitting on the ground, groping for pictures.

He thought that the Generalissimo would be one of those serious generals, but he didn't expect that the guards didn't look over there, and after bowing their hands to several generals, they led him to the balcony.

There are several couches on the wide balcony. A heroic young man in military uniform sits opposite an elderly monk. Several guards sit on the left and right, and among them is a crooked beam without a helmet.

Monk Wang recognized the monk as Gamalad, the master of Genbang Monastery. He had met once in Lhasa, but Gama didn't know him.

"Marshal, the monk has brought it."

Liu Chengzong looked into the distance silently, and when he heard the guards say that Monk Wang was coming, he turned his head to look at it, um...it was quite different from Wang Ziyong.

"Can you understand me?"

Monk Wang nodded quickly, and Liu Chengzong raised his finger to the side of Gama, and said, "Sit down, don't be restrained."

Monk Wang looked at Wailiangzi from the left, and then at Monk Gama, seeing that neither of them had any objection to his sitting down, so he carefully sat next to Gama.

Before sitting on the buttocks, I heard Liu Chengzong ask: "Do you know how to heal injuries and diseases?"

Monk Wang hurriedly stood up again, and replied: "My little one, I was born in the territory of the Dege family. I became a monk in the Tangjia Sutra Hall. I am familiar with stomach problems and trauma."

Liu Chengzong waved his hand to let him sit down and talk, and said, "Where is Dege, where is it? How big is it?"

"Start from here and go east, go south to the Jinsha River, and ride a horse for seven or eight days to enter the territory of Dege." Monk Wang was not sure how far it was, so he could only vaguely say, "It's a journey of three to four hundred miles."

But when it comes to the size of Dege’s territory, he is quite clear about it, saying: “Since Emperor Dayuan conferred official positions, King Dege has been in charge of the narrow river valley in the middle reaches of Sequ, which is seventy miles long and five miles wide, for more than 300 years. "

Liu Chengzong couldn't help smiling when he heard this introduction.

The main reason is that it was a coincidence that the Dege family has been in charge of the narrow and long Dege River Valley, which is seventy miles long and five miles wide, and it is difficult for Liu Chengzong to think of his hometown, Panlongchuan River Valley.

The middle section of the river outside Black Dragon Mountain is thirty miles long and ten miles wide, which is basically the same as the territory of the Dege family. The surrounding villages are rounded up to simulate a territory of Dege in his mind.

Liu Chengzong asked: "The king Dege, or the king Bai Li, who is older?"

This time it was Monk Wang's turn to be speechless. The two were not on the same level at all, so he quickly replied: "King Baili is big, and King Baili's territory is as large as hundreds of deges. The territory of Dege belongs to Baili in all directions. king."

Liu Chengzong nodded slowly, and said to Monk Wang: "That army has been wiped out, I think you are a talent, would you like to stay with me and work?"

Monk Wang hurriedly stood up again: "Marshal, if the little monk wants to leave...what will happen?"

Crooked Liangzi clasped his fists beside him and said, "Commander, I think this monk is in good shape, and he can be used in the quarry in Hainan."

Liu Chengzong glanced at Wai Liangzi angrily: "Why are you scaring him?"

Turning his head, he said with a pleasant face: "It's okay if you don't want to be used by me. Don't worry, you understand Chinese. People who understand Chinese will be treated well no matter what they do. Even if they go to the quarry, I will let you be a supervisor."

The war is not over yet, this monk knows their strength in the manor, Liu Chengzong can't let him go.

But he still has many good places to go, such as going to the quarry in Hainan, building a castle in Haibei, building an official village in Chaka Salt Lake, and chopping wood in Haixi.

There are many things that can be done.

Monk Wang also realized this, nodded helplessly and said: "Whatever the Generalissimo asks the monk to do, the monk will do."

"Very well, I won't treat you badly. When you are free, you will follow the crooked beam, crooked beam." Liu Chengzong said, turning his head, looking at the crooked beam who was wrapped in plain cloth on his head, and said, "The battle is not over yet. I need you, I will give you a present, and I will call you Shangliang from now on."

He turned his head and looked towards the other side of the Gaiqu River, stretched out his hand and said, "That side will be called Xialiang from now on."

Crooked Liangzi was stunned for a moment, laughed loudly, got up and cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Commander!"

After all, such a naming is not a territory, it only has a commemorative meaning, but it is more meaningful than meaningless. Crooked Liangzi was still very happy, raised his hand and rubbed his head with a smile: "I have to tell those two sons that there is a piece of land in the south named after their father. named after."

Liu Chengzong laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Haha, yes! Tell your two Mongolian sons that you are the Generalissimo's Battelle."

Crooked Liangzi's injuries are not serious, there are a few arrow cluster wounds on his body, and only a few blood spots are pierced through the armor, so he will probably heal.

Only the wound on the head was a little serious, and it was cut by the axe. Fortunately, the helmet's eyebrows were too long, so the axe didn't cut too deep. It just deformed the six-petal iron helmet.

The wound on his head was not caused by an axe, but a piece of scalp was pierced by the arc of the helmet with the rivet chipped off.

Skin trauma.

The arrival of Monk Wang is very crucial to Liu Chengzong.

First of all, there is a translator here, so a lot of work can continue, and secondly, there is information about Bai Lijun.

Dan Bei Daiben and other Baili nobles failed to escape the pursuit in the end, but they hid in the cave and resisted stubbornly. Several Mongolian soldiers of Xie Erhu died because of this.

Xie Erhu was so angry that he didn't care about whether he would live or not, so he simply set fire and smoked, killing all those who escaped, and those who did not escape were also smoked to death in the cave.

None of the last survivors was brought back.

Liu Chengzong didn't blame Xie Erhu too much. If a few of his soldiers were killed because of the enemy's garrison, he would live or die no matter what.

But this did cause a very important lack of information. Now the only way to get information is a few nobles imprisoned in the dungeon of the manor, and none of those people can speak Chinese.

In the next few days, we will rely on Wai Liangzi and Monk Wang to press for as much information as possible.

But before that, Liu Chengzong has more important things to do, and it's time for him to fulfill his promise.

Since Liu Chengzong moved his troops to Danba, Basang's army attacked in all directions, and wiped out many noble territories in Nangqian in a very safe environment, and more and more slaves gathered here.

In just a few days, more than [-] slaves gathered outside Danba Manor.

They came from mixed sources, some were slaves who voluntarily joined the army from Nangsuoqianmo, some were recruited after attacking the manor, and some were forcibly recruited by Mongolian herdsmen on the road.

Of course, there are also people like Bu Chi who stood up and resisted and defected.

It's just that there are very few of the latter, only Bu Chi.

Crooked Liangzi took Monk Wang to find Basang. Together with more than 200 Han troops who participated in the battle, they selected slaves who were more heroic in the battle from Basang's troops.

There are sixteen teams in Basang, and each team has fifteen lion soldiers. Liu Chengzong asked the lion soldiers in each team to choose the brave men, and only fifteen people were reported in the end.

There were two teams that did not report anyone, and the crooked Liangzi team reported two slaves from the other team, because when the bearded man from the Guanning Army rode his horse to attack the enemy, he captured two escaped slaves from the other team and gave him a pair of horses. .

The two slaves led the horses and ran the whole distance with him. The bearded man thought that they were not bad, so he reported them.

Judging from the report of the sixteen lion soldiers' meritorious service, Liu Chengzong felt that the lion soldiers who participated in the battle were very dissatisfied with the large-scale rout of the slave camp.

They are harsh.

But strictness has its advantages. The stricter the selection of personnel, the greater their military exploits and the more acres they will be awarded.

Chen Shifo was ordered to clean up the fields in Nangqianzhang and select many suitable places for villages.

This is an easy job, because any place with a noble manor is suitable for a village.

More than 3000 slaves gathered in Danba Manor, looking up at the third floor of the main building.

The structure of aristocratic manors is similar, generally, the first floor is a dungeon and warehouse, the second floor is a housekeeper and workshop, and the third floor is used as the living room of the owner, the living room, the Buddhist hall and other functional rooms.

Most of the slaves have never climbed to the third floor in their lives, and even looked up to the third floor a few times.

But today, they had to look up to the third floor, because slaves like them climbed up and stood with the generalissimo.

Monk Wang stood on the third floor, calling out names to the crowd again and again.

Most of the slaves had similar names. In order to avoid false claims, each team sent Han soldiers to call the candidates to the front and wait in advance.

The slaves climbed up to the third floor one by one, and Liu Chengzong issued them a piece of land deed. Monk Wang loudly announced their military exploits and the land they were granted, their position and the post of security officer, and then went downstairs again, and another person came up.

Their fields are all near Nangsuoqian Mobao, but everyone is far away. In Liu Chengzong's plan, these people will serve as Baochang and build villages one by one.

However, after receiving the gift, they will not go to their own fields immediately, but will go to Nangqian Chen Shifo to learn Chinese.

If there is no accident, they will all be the head of the village, the teacher, the village head and the captain in the future.

Only these people are familiar with Chinese, so that it will be convenient for Liu Chengzong to appoint a township head in the future.

Chen Shifo sent his plan from Nangqian. In the plan, the Nangqian territory should be divided into three counties and dozens of townships. The township chief and county government will use lion soldiers as officials, which is basically a continuation of Liu Chengzong's training of soldiers to govern. Set of ideas.

Except that Chen Shifo did not consider Monk Gama, everything else was fine.

Liu Chengzong felt that he might need to prepare a private land for Gama in Leiwuqi. According to this progress, Gama, who does not understand Chinese, would be completely unable to get involved in Nangqian.

Seeing that someone really got the land, the slaves in the manor raised their necks with complicated expressions.

Liu Chengzong can see envy in people's eyes, but besides envy, there are more other emotions mixed in.

Such as puzzlement, ridicule, anticipation and banter, all kinds of emotions.

He really wanted to announce to everyone on the balcony on the third floor that you are all free men, but he couldn't.

He cannot unilaterally announce anything until people understand private property and land.

In Haibei, his father and Yang Dingrui are preparing for him a law on the regulations of the servants, the monthly payment of the employees, the share of the tenants, the government taxes, the responsibilities of masters and servants, and so on.

It's just that the people's environment is different, and the creation of laws and regulations is very difficult.

The roads here have no pillars, some have no fields and only grazing, no specific boundaries between the territories, and the maps are poor and difficult to read, all of which create difficulties for the enforcement of the law.

Even so, the gift of land caused an uproar among the slaves, among whom Bu Chi reacted the most.

She went to Dai Daozi, gesticulated and said something to the third floor, and only after Monk Wang passed by did she understand that she wanted to see Liu Chengzong.

From the bottom of my heart, Monk Wang disliked serving as an interpreter for slaves, saying a word was unnecessary, so he said angrily, "General Marshal, can you see him if you want?"

Thanks to Dai Daozi finding Bu Chi's disappointed eyes, he pulled out half of the knife, and Monk Wang translated it truthfully. In the end, Bu Chi got his wish and met Liu Chengzong.

This woman, who was frightened by Master Danba and became mentally abnormal, fell to the ground when she saw Liu Chengzong, unable to scream, and told her experience and her wishes upside down.

She is different from Basang, she doesn't want to be a lord, she just wants to live with the first four husbands, and hopes that the Grand Marshal can organize their family into the army and fight for land rewards.

Whether it is fighting or meeting himself, Liu Chengzong appreciates this kind of courage.

He clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Yes!"

　Good night!
