Eating and drinking water are regularly sent in every day, and they are only allowed to eat two meals a day, one dry and one thin, probably because they are afraid that they will have the strength to make trouble when they are full. Li Mo didn't think so, thinking that it was at least cleaner than the prison cells of the government, and they could eat half full - it seemed that the thieves treated them politely, and it was estimated that their lives were saved, and maybe there would be a day when they would see the light of day again.

If there is anything wrong with such a captive life, the only headache is going to the toilet.

There were no latrines in the barracks, and if you wanted to solve your personal problems, you had to ask the guards, no more than five people at a time, and go to the latrines outside the barracks under the watchful eye of the guards. There are several hundred people in a barracks, and the guards don't care how many times you go out, anyway, you can only go out as many times a day, and once or twice per person takes one or two turns, and if you go to the place too many times and crowd out the quota of others, you will be squeezed out by the officers and soldiers and even beaten and kicked. Li Mo is the head of the firearms battalion, and most of the prisoners of war are soldiers from the firearms battalion, although they are also prisoners, but the concept of hierarchy is still there, as a senior official, he is not worried that he will be beaten once or twice in the toilet.

On the third day after entering the prisoner of war camp, Li Mo asked the guards in the morning as usual and went out to the toilet. This is his personal habit, he doesn't squat in the morning and the toilet is uncomfortable.

On the way to the latrine, there were also people in another barracks who were guarded and walked towards the latrine, and the first one walked in front of the other captives, apparently in a detached position. He couldn't help but take a second look, but found that this was his own Shangguan - the firearms battalion garrison Zuo Wuwei! I thought he died at sea, but I didn't expect to meet him here.

He stared at the other in amazement, deaf to the guard's urging. Zuo Wuwei also looked up when he heard the movement, and immediately found him, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and walked over quickly.

"Mr. Li Qian, why did you get here?"

"Hey, it's hard to put into words...... Lord Zuo, I thought you were in trouble at sea. ”

The two were about to converse, when the guard's bayonet pointed at them, "Don't talk to each other, go to the toilet quickly, or go back." ”

The two had no choice but to go into the latrine. The latrine is built in imitation of the old public toilet of the old time and space, and the squatting positions are all made of cement. After Zuo Wuwei and Li Mo entered the prisoner of war camp, they were deeply impressed by the neat and clean latrines. However, this was not the time to admire the subtlety of the thief's latrine, and the two of them crouched down next to each other and talked in a low voice.

"Mr. Li Qian, you also came in, could it be that the army has suffered a defeat?"

After being attacked at sea, Zuo Wuwei knew that most of the strength of the army had been maintained, and he would inevitably attack Bofu after going ashore. Although the opponent is defeated in naval battles, land battles are not necessarily invincible. However, even the firearms battalion, which did not need to rush to the front line, was captured, and the outcome of the battle was certainly not optimistic.

"It's not just a defeat, the army is a complete defeat." Li Mo briefly recounted the process of the battle: from how he attacked the opponent's camp and suffered heavy casualties, to how the firearms battalion he managed was completely suppressed by the opponent in the artillery battle, and finally the grain channel was cut off, and the firearms battalion was forced to be captured by the whole battalion.

Zuo Wuwei didn't make a sound after hearing half of the sound, and these news had a great impact on him, no less than being attacked at sea. The naval battle can't be fought, the land war can't be beaten, and the proud Hongyi cannon is actually vulnerable, and his concept of fighting a war has been completely subverted by this gang of thieves.

After Li Mo finished speaking, he added: "Lord Zuo, I have the courage to say that this group of thieves is by no means ordinary pirates, their artillery and bird guns are too sharp, and the Hongyi cannons and bird guns of the imperial court can't catch up. ”

“…… Only to occupy such a small place in Lingao, it is so powerful, if they occupy the entire Qiongzhou Mansion, they will not be able to defeat them with the strength of the two Guangzhou, even if the wolf soldiers in Guangxi are transferred, it will be useless. Zuo Wuwei replied sullenly.

"That's a headache for the governor, and I'm a little Qianzong, and I'm not qualified to think about it. For the past two days, I've been wondering, what will the thieves do to us if we are locked up here? Li Mo is more concerned about his own fate.

"Don't worry about this, you will never cut off your head for no reason, if you want to cut it early, you will eat and drink well?" Zuo Wuwei cleaned up his mood, "It is estimated that they want to coerce us to ...... from thieves."

Hearing this, Li Mo suffered from gains and losses - although his official rank is not high, he is also a military general of the imperial court, the elite of the Guangdong battalion, if the thief coerces him, will he protect the name of the military general or submit to it?

Before he could think through this profound question, the guard at the door urged loudly, so he had to hurriedly fasten his pants and leave the toilet with Zuo Wuwei and the others.

Two days later, the choice was in front of him.

Xia Nan came to the barracks with the main force of the escort team, set up a few 8-pound mountain guns, and all the team members were loaded with live ammunition and set up a formation. All the prisoners of war were escorted to the open space in front of the barracks to listen to Xia Nan announce their fate.

"Brothers in the officers and soldiers, my name is Xia Nan, and I am the leader of your attack on the 'thieves' this time. I believe you all know in your hearts why you are here, because the army has suffered a great defeat! Your commander-in-chief, who is nesting in Qiongshan County at the moment, neither dare to come to fight me, nor dare to withdraw to Guangdong, why? Xia Nan glanced at the prisoners of war and raised his voice, "Because if you keep fighting, he can't beat me; Withdrawd, he feared that the governor would punish him. Besides, he is even more afraid that he will be sunk by my warship at sea and see the Dragon King! ”

There was a commotion among the prisoners of war, and they couldn't help but believe it. Zuo Wuwei and Li Mo glanced at each other, and their hearts were very bitter: the dignified 15,000 battalion soldiers came across the sea and attacked with ten times the force, but they were defeated by one or two thousand people neatly, and even if they lost the battle, they were still so cowardly, they were blocked in Qiongshan and did not dare to return to the provincial capital. There are more defeated armies in the Ming Dynasty, and they can always run away if they can't beat them, but they are squeezed into such a field, I'm afraid this is the only one.

"Now, you have two paths to choose from. One is to submit to me and be my subordinate; The second is to be loyal to the court and die for the country. If you choose the first way, stand on my right hand, and if you choose the second way, stand on my left, and you are all good men of the firearms battalion, then I will send you on the last ride with artillery. ”

The commotion of the prisoners of war became even greater, and they all discussed in private, if they were hung on the battlefield, they would be hanged, and now that they had saved their lives, they could not use their lives to prove their loyalty to the imperial court. It's just a soldier's salary, and whoever gives money will do it with whomever he wants.

After a brief commotion, most people moved to the right in groups of three or five. Most of the people standing on the left are officers, and they can't pull down this face from the thief.

Li Mo was very hesitant in his heart, looking at the calm Zuo Wuwei, he wanted to raise his feet and walk to the other side, but he couldn't take the first step, and he was entangled. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
