Another day passed, and Wei Yuancheng took care of all the relevant matters related to Tie Hua's escort to the capital.

Tie Huali and his captured subordinates, except for those who tossed back and forth, were sick, and could not be sent to the capital, the remaining captives were only more than 100 people, and the Jiangyang thieves caught in Guazhou were not escorted to Beijing.

Wei Yuancheng personally went to the prison to check Tie Huali and those prisoners, and was quite emotional, he didn't protect them well, when he was parading in the streets, he was thrown stones by the people and injured a group, otherwise he could have been escorted to Beijing more, and his face was also good-looking.

Wu Youren comforted him, a hundred or so people are almost enough, even if it is a prisoner sacrifice ceremony, a hundred or so people are enough to see, escorting these people into Beijing, the road is far away, and there are a lot of soldiers needed, and if there are prisoners fleeing along the way, or a few more will die, it will be a loss of face!

Wei Yuancheng naturally understands the reason, so he picks strong prisoners, not afraid of them escaping, these sudden people are in the territory of Dafang Country, where else can they run, just worry that they will die, killing prisoners is ominous, this is the consensus of the officials, in fact, it doesn't matter how many people die, but it can't be made public, otherwise those so-called most conscientious people, that is, the imperial historians who live by saying goodbyes, should get tired of it again, and it will be particularly annoying!

When the handover was to be made, Wei Yuancheng called Yang Ze separately and said: "These prisoners, in terms of quantity, are about the same, I am afraid that they will die halfway, you don't know, those imperial histories in the court have a penchant for biting, you brought the roster into Beijing, if you go to the criminal department to hand over the prisoners, a few die, it will be terrible." You have to be picked by the eggs of the imperial history, saying that you tortured the prisoners, and I was afraid that there would be trouble at that time, so you have to pay attention, don't die too many prisoners in the middle of the road. ”

After a pause, he whispered again: "I have prepared ten more prisoners for you, and those who are not named on the roster, even if they are going to die on the road, do not exceed ten." Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain. ”

Yang Ze secretly said in his heart: "I am a doctor, how can I let the prisoners die, even if the medicine hangs their lives, I have to hang these prisoners to the capital." How could they die halfway. ”

But I can only think about this in my heart, but I can't say it on my lips, Wei Yuancheng is kind and prepared more prisoners for him.

Yang Ze thought for a while and said, "Master Hou, but what if the captives don't die to ten?" Waited until the capital. If the number of people is small, you will be bitten by the imperial history, but if there are many people, this is afraid that you will have to be bitten, right? Anyway, they want to bite. You'll find a reason to bite, right? ”

Wei Yuancheng snorted and said, "If the number of people is small, it will be very troublesome." But there are many people, so this is easy to do. You kill and bury it halfway, or throw it in the market and sell it, then it's up to you, if you can sell it along the way, then you can get a few more money, and you can have more money in the capital! ”

The two of them whispered beside them, Wu Youren listened to it, and didn't want to squeak, but seeing Yang Ze's face in embarrassment, he thought that he was afraid that these fierce captives would not be easy to sell, so he said kindly: "General Yang, you are not familiar with the human market in Beijing, so you are worried, in fact, don't look at these guys fiercely, but as long as they are thrown into the human market, there are those more fierce human traffickers to repair them and ensure that they are honest." I know a few people, all of whom are masters in this field, so you don't have to worry, I'm afraid that these captives won't be sold, just go to Beijing and see me!" ”

Yang Ze was dumbfounded, he really didn't know what to say, he really hadn't thought about selling prisoners, Wei Yuancheng was a military general, his job was to kill people and set fires, and he didn't treat prisoners as human beings, which was barely normal, but Wu Youren, a person who aspired to become the prime minister, was also familiar with the way of buying and selling prisoners, what was that, as the central member of Fengge, didn't he hate these the most?

In these years, the people of the Dafang Empire are still divided into three classes, officials, good families, and lowly people, even if the people of their country have the rank of slaves, not to mention the captives of Fanbang, it is too normal to be sold as slaves, and even if these captives are not allowed to be slaves, Wei Yuancheng and Wu Youren can't think of what else they can do!

Go with the locals, don't be hypocritical, that's a slut's patent, Yang Ze doesn't want to be a slut, so naturally he can't be hypocritical. He immediately nodded and said: "Thank you Lord Hou for thinking about the young general, thank you Lord Wu for your help, I hope that there will be fewer deaths on the way, and those living captives and other young generals can sell a few more when they arrive in Beijing, and they can have more money on hand, and they can also live in a big store." ”

Wu Youren laughed and said, "Just kidding again, you want to live in a post house, how can you live in a hotel!" ”

Yang Ze smiled and said that he didn't understand the rules, he always made jokes, and after entering Beijing, he had to ask Lord Wu to take care of him. Wu Youren agreed very happily, he has a penchant for taking care of people, especially taking care of young upstarts like Yang Ze, so he agreed to be a happy one.

This time in Beijing, for the soldiers of Ningbei Province, it is almost like a publicly-funded tour, everyone is scrambling to go, but it is just to escort prisoners, not to send troops to fight, the generals will not do anything else, escort prisoners will not be, this is too simple, there is no technical content at all, a soldier can do it. As a result, the soldiers and generals of Ningbei Province flocked to each other, and they strongly demanded that they could escort the prisoners into Beijing, and by the way, they would go on a tour of the mountains and rivers to see the prosperity of the capital.

Originally, the number of escorted prisoners was only fifty cavalry, in fact, this is a lot, one soldier looks at two prisoners, it is really a waste of troops, but under the strong request of the generals, Wei Yuancheng also took this opportunity to send favors, even if it was a little welfare for the generals, the number of people was raised to one hundred, which is equivalent to a soldier taking care of a prisoner.

However, as soon as the mouth is opened, it will open wider and wider, and those who have a way, and their fathers and uncles are on errands in the army, see the benefits, and immediately go through the back door, wanting to follow, which makes Wei Yuancheng very embarrassed, this kind of thing either no one agrees, and if you agree, you can't pull down anyone, otherwise it will show that relatives from far and near are estranged and hurt the hearts of the soldiers. In desperation, I had to raise the number of generals to 200, but I still couldn't satisfy the enthusiasm of the generals, so I had to enlarge the opening again and raise the number to 400, which could be regarded as satisfying the enthusiasm of the generals.

Four hundred cavalry, according to the military system, is a battalion, not to mention escorting more than 100 prisoners, even if the troops go to the grassland, it is enough to show off their might outside the camp of the small tribe, such a force, there is face everywhere, and even the empress can review it.

After another day, everything was ready, Yang Ze went to the Marquis's Mansion, gathered people from all walks of life, and set off in the square in front of the mansion.

Yang Ze looked at the army in front of him, and cheered in his heart, the soldiers of Ningbei Province were really fierce, the soldiers were not only tall, but also the armor was distinct, stepping off the tall horses, each soldier was carrying a bow and arrows and a saber, and the long weapons in his hands were various, some soldiers were holding giant axes, some soldiers were holding spears, and some were holding maces, and even powerful generals were holding a giant hammer as big as a pumpkin in their hands, everyone looked hideous, and they looked quite mad.

Yang Ze saw Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen in the team, Tan Zhengwen was okay, he had a short beard, his face was blue, and he looked like a military general, but Fu Bingrong was bad, although he was carrying a long bow and several bags of feather arrows on horseback, but he was a boy and a girl, he was too handsome, and he didn't have a beard.

Yang Ze turned his head and saw that there was only Mu Gen beside him, and Mu Gen was looking around, he said, "Zhao Chenglin, what are you looking at?" ”

Mugen was stunned, his big name was called Zhao Chenglin, no one ever called him by his big name, they all called him by his nickname Mugen, his real name has been called for too long and no one has called him, and even he himself is a little vague. Mugen was slightly dazed for a moment, and then said, "Master, are you talking to me?" Why do you call me by my name? ”

"You're a little person now, and it won't look dignified to call you Mugen again. What are you looking at? Yang Ze asked again.

Mu Gen pointed to the wooden cage prisoner cart in front of him and said, "Isn't that Tie Huali, why are you still tied up, didn't you say that you are generous to us?" After a pause, he said: "Master, you still call me Mugen, the name Zhao Chenglin, I am not used to it, I always feel that it is not called me!" ”

Yang Ze smiled: "Why, I've almost forgotten what my name is!" Well, that's good, I'll call you Mugen in the future! He pointed at Tie Huali and said in a low voice: "Acting like a person, in front of the common people, you can only tie him up, put him in a cage, and wait for us to leave the city, and then let him out." ”

Mugen sighed, didn't ask anything else, and began to look around again, and added movements, waving frequently to the people watching in the distance, to show that he was now a character.

A trumpet sounded, Wei Yuancheng came to the square on horseback, the soldiers immediately cheered, and then the people also shouted, Wei Yuancheng waved his horsewhip, and said a few words about the scene, that is, how to be loyal to the empress, how to protect the family and the people, after speaking, he personally led the team to set off, he walked in the front, Yang Ze and Wu Youren followed behind him, left and right.

On the streets out of the city, there were countless people who were bustling, but this time it was okay, everyone just cheered, but no one threw stones, Tie Huali and his men escaped the attack of the stone rain.

After a while, out of the city gate, Yang Ze saw his parents, Yang Baiqiu and Zhang went out early, standing under a big willow tree outside the city gate, waiting to send their son into Beijing, their old couple wore the most exquisite clothes, standing under the tree, Zhang still held a handkerchief in his hand, when he saw Yang Ze in the team, Zhang couldn't help it, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

This morning, he has said goodbye at home, but Yang Ze saw his parents standing under the tree, although he couldn't pass in the team, but he still waved to his parents, I don't know when I will see you again, maybe it will take a year or even longer, my mother is worried, in fact, when I am a son, why don't I miss my parents!
