Chapter 112 Up and down, left and right
"My lord, my son doesn't even dare to kill chickens on weekdays, how dare he fight against the master of Weili?" The woman wiped away another tear, "Your Excellency, you must save my son." ”
"It's not impossible to save your son, but since he is holding a knife and gun to confront the old man in the guard, if you don't show sincerity, it will be difficult for Lord Ben to talk to the guard!"
"My lord, how can I save my son?"
"Aren't they very capable? The lord of Weili dared to fight, originally Weili had sentenced all the people to life labor, and they were not allowed to be released in advance, if they caught up with the war, they would be allowed to pick up swords and guns to deal with the Mongol cavalry, but ......"
The woman was so anxious that her legs went limp, and she almost knelt down, "My lord, how can I save my son?" ”
"Since they have done something wrong, they will be punished," Chen Jiu felt that it was almost enough, and Fang said: "If the family can prove that they were coerced by the Great Tusi and now sincerely repent, they can shorten the time of their labor, the fastest...... It should be released next summer. ”
"Next summer?" That's only a few months, and it's not much different from immediate release, the key is that with Bentou, Mrs. was immediately overjoyed, anyway, Da Tusi's whole family died, and she was not afraid of his revenge in the future, "My lord, I can prove that my son was coerced by Da Tusi, and I can prove that when my son was taken away, he didn't eat enough for breakfast......"
"I can believe your words, but I have to make the old men of Wei Li believe it," Chen Jiu paused and said: "As long as you join the Han nationality, the old men of Wei will naturally believe that you don't want to fight them by force, and it will be easier for Lord Ben to speak for you." ”
The woman gritted her teeth, her lower lip turned white, "My lord, as long as we join the Han nationality, can my son be released?" ”
"As long as your whole family joins the Han nationality, you can prove that you really don't want to confront Wei Li, then your son participated in the rebellion, he was coerced by the Great Tusi, and then Lord Ben argued with Wei Li, Wei Li will definitely release your son, as soon as next summer, if you apply late, you will need to be released in winter, or even the year after next."
"My lord, I'm joining the Han nationality!" The woman is out of the way, her son is her only hope in this world, for the sake of her son, she can do everything, in fact, the Han people and the natives, for her, are no different, the same to pay taxes, just now I heard Chen Jiu say, the Han people's taxes seem to be lighter.
"Actually, we are all people here, and there is not much difference between the Han nationality and the native nationality, according to the Lord Ben, joining the Han nationality, Wei Li will also give many discounts, and the Lord Ben has a lot of contacts with Wei Li, so he naturally knows the benefits...... Hey, you've thought about it, do you really want to join the Han nationality? ”
"Yes, sir."
Chen Jiu was overjoyed in his heart, there was finally a native who joined the Han nationality, if this task could not be completed, not to mention the appointment of the silver and the criminal master of Beichuan County, I am afraid that even the delicate second miss would be taken back, that second miss is really ...... He really wanted to end these boring registration activities early and go back quickly, the second miss, this wild horse had just been tamed last night......
"That, you go over there to register, pay attention, you must register together as a family, you are the first to register as a Han, I will personally go to Weili to make a trip, and ensure that your son will be released next summer."
"Thank you, sir!" The woman kowtowed to Chen Jiu, and then happily registered, and with Chen Jiu's assurance, his son would not have to suffer from hard labor.
"My lord, as long as he is registered as a Han Chinese, can my son be released?"
"My lord, can my man release it too?"
"My family has no one in custody, what are the benefits if I join the Han nationality?"
……
Chen Jiu finally pushed the dominoes that joined the Han nationality, and looking at the crowded scene, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: that lovely second lady doesn't have to hand it over.
He simply added another fire: "Fellow villagers, don't worry, line up and register in order, I will go to Weili one by one to intercede for your sons and men in the order of registration, and strive to release them as soon as possible!" ”
Chen Jiu's words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, the registration office, which was already surrounded by the crowd, became more and more crowded, and even there was a phenomenon of fighting for the first, Li Zicheng maintained order on the scene, ensured the orderly progress of the registration work, and was forced to dispatch soldiers, and under the reprimand of the soldiers, the natives had to line up to register according to the requirements.
Due to the implementation of one registration per household, once it is carried out in an orderly manner, it will not take long for all registrations to be completed, and it will take less than half an hour.
Although Songjiazhuang is the largest village in the vicinity, there are only more than 200 households, of which 20 or 30 Han families have already been registered, plus nearly 100 families of prisoners of war, as well as some other natives, 70% of them are registered as Han nationality.
This is the first time to publicize, Li Zicheng believes that at least the naturalization of the native people of Songjiazhuang is not as difficult as imagined, the later work of the native registration, temporarily handed over to Chen Jiu, Beichuan County now does not even have a county government, he, the candidate of the criminal master, can only do some naturalization work now.
In order to consolidate the naturalization achievements of Songjiazhuang, Li Zicheng asked Li Guo to station 20 soldiers in the Datusi Mansion, and the rest of the soldiers returned to the location where the Beichuan County Ya was about to be established to assist Du Youheng in relocating the people.
However, Li Zicheng instructed Li Guo that if the natives returned to their hearts, they could recruit troops locally, with a ceiling of two general flags, and the soldiers should be honest and honest, and those who are proficient in equestrianism are preferred.
In order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, the newly recruited soldiers were trained according to the original method, but did not mix with the veterans and were formed separately.
Everything was arranged, Li Zicheng began to return to Xining, and He Xiaomi's gold and lulu excavated from Hutou Mountain naturally wanted to be brought back to Xining, and the women of Da Tusi Mansion went back with them.
The family members of the big toast Chen Youdao want to bring back to Xining's fruit building, although the maids have their own names and flowers, but Beichuan County now only has a piece of cultivated land, not even the county government, let alone a house, they naturally want to return to Xining.
Li Zicheng also hopes that the population will be concentrated in Xining, and these military dependents will be demarcated in the city in the future, so as to facilitate centralized management, and the soldiers will be fighting outside all the year round, and their dependents will have the responsibility to protect and take care of them, and there will be no worries about the future, so that the soldiers will have combat effectiveness.
Compared with the more than 100 people who came to the country, Li Zicheng's personal soldiers only had more than 20 people, although each person had a war horse, but now there are more of these women, the war horse is seriously insufficient, 38 female dependents, except for the second lady who stayed in Hutou Mountain with Chen Jiu, the rest of the 37 people have to accompany them, if these women are allowed to walk, I don't know how many days it will take to reach Xining.
"My lord, what should I do? It's not enough to have a pair of horses. He Xiaomi looked quite helpless, these women are really annoying, if it weren't for the fact that twenty-six of them were military dependents, he would have suggested that adults abandon these women and let them fend for themselves.
"Then there are three people on one horse, and from here to the south to the ferry, but dozens of miles, the war horse should be able to eat."
"It's about forty miles to the ferry," He Xiaomi, who had no good idea, said, "Then so be it, I'll let the brothers each bring two daughters." ”
Li Zicheng hugged Chen Qiudie to the horse, then stepped on the stirrup, turned over on the horse, he held the reins in his left hand, and hugged Chen Qiudie's lower abdomen with his right hand, "Die'er, are you afraid?" ”
"If there is an adult, the servant is not afraid!" Chen Qiudie turned her head and smiled at Li Zicheng, her little face was brighter than the sun.
He Xiaomi ran over quickly, "My lord, Mrs. Song ......"
"Oh?" Li Zicheng was stunned, but he instantly understood that Song's identity was now a little embarrassing.
As Chen Youdao's dependent, she will enter the fruit building in the future, but she is the mother of the third lady Chen Qiudie, Chen Qiudie is already his woman, sooner or later she will have to give a name, then she should be the mother-in-law, she did not serve the soldiers last night, this is the reason.
Since he won't enter the fruit building for the time being, it is not suitable to put it on someone else's horseback, so he said to He Xiaomi: "Let him come over!" ”
"Yes, sir!" He Xiaomi brought the Song family over in an instant.
Looking at the somewhat frightened Song, Li Zicheng turned over and dismounted, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Mrs. Song, let's ride a horse with Die'er, come, I'll carry you on the horse." ”
Song was so frightened that he dodged back, his face was white and red, and he was more and more nervous than just now.
Li Zicheng smiled: "Can you get on the horse yourself?" ”
Chen Qiudie clasped the saddle with both hands, and also beckoned from the horse: "Mother, come up!" ”
Song had no choice but to raise his arms, let Li Zicheng hold him tightly from behind his armpits, and threw his legs on the horse's back, Chen Qiudie let go of a hand and hugged her mother's waist tightly.
After Li Zicheng got on the horse again, he stepped on the stirrups with both feet, moved Chen Qiudie's body backwards, leaned against his chest tightly, and lifted Song's body from under his armpits, moved her behind the saddle, and held the ring on the saddle with both hands.
"Are you seated?"
"Sit down!" Chen Qiudie was sandwiched between the two, looking quite excited, and turned around and smiled at Li Zicheng.
"Sit down!" The Song clan is also weak and authentic.
"Then I'm leaving!" Li Zicheng gently pulled the reins and asked the war horse to adjust its direction, the war horse walked slowly, but the horse's back was shaking violently, Song and Chen Qiudie did not have stirrups under their feet, and their bodies had nowhere to be forced, and they suddenly screamed in fright, especially Chen Qiudie, who was exaggerated a little hysterical.
Li Zicheng had no choice but to hand over the reins to his left hand, and his right hand reached forward until above Song's lower abdomen, hooking it tightly, trying to fix the bodies of the two as much as possible.
Song was hugged by Li Zicheng at first, almost screaming, but remembering that the mother and daughter were unstable, this was just the beginning, and after a while, the horse accelerated, I am afraid that it would be bumpy, so I had to let Li Zicheng hold it, she caressed the ring with both hands, but below the hips, it was still not very stable, so she gritted her silver teeth lightly and did not say a word, just hoping that the war horse could run faster and end this embarrassing situation earlier.
The front is all grassland, and there is no flat official road, after Li Zicheng gradually speeded up the war horse, the bump on the horse's back became more severe, he at first tightly strangled Song's front waist, and was afraid of affecting Song's breathing, every once in a while, he loosened it slightly, so that his right hand was not very stable, either moving left and right, or sliding up and down.
