The survival rate of prisoners of war is half and half, which is understandable.
In ancient times, transportation was not convenient and there was no Geneva Treaty. In the eyes of the Tang army, prisoners of war were basically equal to livestock and had no human rights at all.
If you sprain your foot slightly on the way, it will affect the progress of the whole team. Maybe they will be chopped up by the general and thrown into the forest. Not to mention sleeping in the open air all the way, they will be sick, injured and hungry. As long as there is something wrong with the body, they will basically die.
.
In this era, the migration of prisoners of war was much more cruel than the exile of prisoners. Prisoners were escorted thousands of miles away, and they still had human rights to some extent on the road. As long as they took enough care, they could even enjoy the sights and sounds along the way.
Prisoners of war are different. They are worse than livestock. The Tang Dynasty privately slaughtered cattle for three years, but what about slaughtering prisoners of war? It is not guilty.
Liu Ren is willing to give Li Qinzai half of his living expenses, which is actually very kind.
"Liu Duhu has worked so hard all the way, so he invites you to sit high in the hall and let the officials treat you with wine and wine to wash away Liu Duhu's dust." Li Qinzai enthusiastically invited Liu Renyuan to the door.
Liu Renyuan was not pretentious and walked into the other courtyard with dignity.
After a banquet and Li Qinzai deliberately making friends, Liu Renyuan became closer and closer to him.
Of course the reason for the closeness was not the banquet. In fact, Liu Renyuan was both envious and respectful of Li Qinzai.
After the Battle of Baijiangkou, Li Qinzai led more than 6,000 soldiers from Baekje back to the Tang Dynasty. He changed course privately on the sea, landed in the Japanese country, destroyed the country, massacred its city, stripped the palace, and permanently stationed the army.
This achievement was envied and admired by all the Tang army generals, and Liu Renyuan was no exception.
Those who can accomplish such feats not only need extraordinary courage, but also must be mentally prepared to be severely punished.
Liu Renyuan sometimes put himself in his shoes and wondered if he had been ordered to lead these six thousand soldiers back to the Tang Dynasty. Would he have had the courage to order the fleet to change course and destroy the Japanese country halfway?
After thinking about it, he still lacked the courage and was afraid that he would not be able to bear the serious consequences of failure.
After a banquet, Liu Renyuan was already slightly drunk and it was still early, so he said goodbye to Li Qinzai and staggered away with his generals.
More than a thousand prisoners of war were being guarded by the Li family. Li Qinzai took advantage of being drunk and walked outside the door. He looked around at the prisoners and couldn't help but frown.
Each one of them was as thin as a hozen, and everyone had plenty of food to eat, so they were obviously very hungry.
More than a thousand people squatted quietly in the open space outside the gate of the villa, attracting onlookers from the villagers. When they heard that they were prisoners of war from the Baekje Kingdom, the villagers talked as if they were watching a rare animal.
The prisoners of war had expressionless faces, and there was a sense of lifelessness in the crowd. Along the way, they had ignored life and death, and they didn't care about being watched.
Li Qinzai frowned and said: "Ah Si, take them down and wash them clean. Shave all the hair on their bodies, including their hair. Don't spread the disease to the villagers. Let them have a full meal. Starting tomorrow, we will start burning the cement kiln."
Leave it all to them."
Liu Asi took the order and escorted the prisoners of war away with his troops.
Before the onlookers dispersed, one farmer hesitated for a long time and stood up and said: "Fifth Young Master, we can also do the work of burning kilns..."
Li Qinzai heard the meaning of his words and said with a smile: "There are still many jobs, not least this one. As long as you are willing to do it, I guarantee that you can support your family."
"Let's leave the job of burning kilns to the prisoners of war. To be honest, burning cement kilns is very harmful to the body. If it goes on for a long time, you will get tuberculosis. I can't harm you, but it doesn't matter to the prisoners of war. If these people are ruined, the worst is to let Baekje do it again."
Send a group of prisoners of war."
The dealers were surprised, so they bowed and dispersed.

Li Jingxuan still acted as a doctor in the school with a humble attitude.
The responsibilities of the doctorate position are a bit complicated. It not only has the responsibility of urging students to correct their learning attitude, but also coordinates books, arranges teacher courses, organizes students to debate the meaning of the Wheel, etc.
Of course, in the school at Ganjingzhuang, Li Jingxuan's responsibilities were even more complicated. There was only one teacher in the school, Li Qinzai, and he was not in charge of it. Half of the students were children of powerful people, and he did not dare to take charge. The rest was only cleaning.
Supervise three meals, and he is willing to be a ruthless cow.
Speaking of which, Li Jingxuan, a Ph.D. student, is a bit aggrieved. He was a dignified bachelor of Hongwen Hall and was once a student of the prince, but now he has basically become a security guard and concierge.
Not only that, the students didn't take him seriously. Among these dandy bastards were two princes, two princesses, and children of various princes, generals, and prime ministers. Li Jingxuan couldn't afford to offend anyone.
But Li Jingxuan's endurance is quite extraordinary. Students tortured him thousands of times, and he regarded them as his first love.
Li Qinzai had deliberately kept a distance from him in the past few days. It was basically the relationship between a superior and a subordinate, neither salty nor indifferent. The content of the chat was limited to official matters and private matters were never mentioned. They maintained a polite but distant state.
Li Jingxuan pretended to be wild several times and carried two jars of fine wine to drink with Li Qinzai, but Li Qinzai politely refused.
If you don't know each other well, don't force friendship.
Li Jingxuan was not discouraged, and soon he gained a sense of presence for himself again.
Ganjingzhuang Academy only taught mathematics, and the students' cultural courses were actually taught to each other by students from the Imperial College. Li Qinzai never paid much attention to it, but then Li Jingxuan caught the loophole.
So, on the fourth day after Li Jingxuan took office, it was also the day when Li Qinzai was lazy and absent from class. In the noisy classroom, Li Jingxuan walked in holding a book of "Book of Rites". Under the astonished gaze of all the students, Li Jingxuan began
Talking and teaching started.
There is no need to be a disciple or to study. Li Jingxuan seems to be chatting with his students. Starting from the beginning of the "Book of Rites", he uses simple language to explain the principles of the Book of Rites sentence by sentence.
Li Sujie and other students are all unruly and unruly dandies, how can they listen to the lectures peacefully? The only person in the classroom who can suppress them is Li Qinzai.
Naturally, no one paid attention to Li Jingxuan's lectures. Everyone chatted and fell asleep after class, and some who were impatient even got up and left.
Without the status of teacher and student, Li Jingxuan is just a doctor in the eyes of the students. Who cares about a mere sixth-grade official?
Faced with the students' indifference, Li Jingxuan didn't mind, and still talked eloquently, and his lectures were lively and natural. He cited several treasures from the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, and the content was fascinating.
The dandies were impatient to listen, but the students of the Imperial College had been studying the classics since childhood and were naturally full of thirst for knowledge, so they were quickly attracted by the content of Li Jingxuan's lectures.
In the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, what etiquette should be used for funerals, what etiquette should be used for marriage, as small as speech, food, and sweeping etiquette, as big as officials sealing attacks, the emperor ascending the throne, various dynasties, and various etiquettes, Li Jingxuan explained in detail and vividly .
Gradually, even the dandies calmed down and listened quietly to Li Jingxuan's explanation. Everyone seemed to be hypnotized, their expressions were ethereal, their thoughts were racing, as if Li Jingxuan had been brought into the world of great controversies thousands of years ago.
When Li Jingxuan closed the book, bowed to everyone gracefully, and then left with a smile, the students slowly came back to their senses.
The dandies gathered together to discuss the content of Li Jingxuan's lecture. Li Sujie, who had been silent for a long time, slowly said: "As expected of being a bachelor of Hongwen Hall, he does have something, haha."
