He was determined to completely subdue this group of horse thieves into a group that could be relied on at critical moments, so he did not hesitate to take out what he thought was the most tempting reward. Unexpectedly, the Japanese Thirteen had been waiting for ten years
His status as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty did not have any motivating effect on the horse thieves. Everyone just thanked him perfunctorily and lowered their heads. It seemed that they did not take Wang Xun's promise seriously at all.
Didn't they understand what I said? The reality was far from what was expected. Wang Xun frowned in embarrassment, his eyes full of confusion. In his memory, Japanese Thirteen spent nearly ten years in order to obtain the household registration of the Tang Dynasty people.
Years of work. And those Loulan people and Tuqishi people who are following him now, when they mention the life of the Tang people, who is not full of envy? Who would be like this group of horse thieves, who did not even think about the people of the Celestial Empire?
Does your household registration matter?
There is a saying that a person's name is like the shadow of a tree. His current image has been described by rumors as being like an eight-armed Shura, which is enough to make people change their color after talking about it. At this moment, his eyebrows wrinkled, and there was an invisible pressure immediately.
The place where the feet stood was the core, and it slowly spread. Seeing this, the horse thieves did not dare to meet his eyes. They buried their heads to their waists one by one, and if they lowered it a little lower, they would burrow into the soil.
.
It was Sha Qianli who was alert and noticed that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, so he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over for Wang Xun. "You guys, your ears are stuffed with donkey hair?" He shouted at the top of his voice at the horse thieves.
, "What the Hammer King just said is that if you are willing to work hard, he will accept you as domestic slaves. Your children and grandchildren will follow him and enjoy the good life!"
"Thank you, Master!" "Thank you, Master." The horse thieves woke up from a dream and fell to the ground happily. Some people couldn't restrain their excitement. After kowtowing, they actually beat their chests and sang. Although the content of the lyrics was Wang Xun
I don’t understand a single word, but the gratitude contained in the song is genuine.
Such a ridiculous scene made Wang Xun dumbfounded. What is wrong with these people? Is it more tempting to be a slave than to be an ordinary citizen freely? But now is definitely not the time to discuss these issues. Since
The horse thieves were willing, so he had no choice but to go with the flow. Anyway, he still had a lot of land on the banks of the Shule River without anyone to help clean it up. In the future, he would bring this group of horse thieves back to work as tenants and herdsmen, so as to save them from causing trouble everywhere.
Thinking of this, he stopped being serious about the details. First he called Fang Ziling, Wei Feng and a few subordinates who had official titles but had not filled the corresponding vacancies, and asked them to divide the surrendered horse thieves into four equal parts at will.
Then he directly ordered Wei and Wei to serve as captains, and the others to serve as brigade leaders and team captains. They set up the airs of two of the regiments. Then they took the remaining two regiments and horse thieves to Shasha.
In front of Qian Li and Huang Wanshan, he asked with a smile: "To be honest with you two seniors, Wang, who was just promoted as a lieutenant general before his mission, happened to have a few short-term surrenders under his command. If the two seniors don't mind it, please first
I will accept the position of captain here with Wang and help me take care of these guys. We will talk about other things in detail from the beginning after we return to Anxi!"
"This." Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan were stunned. No one thought that Wang Xun would be so generous. They remembered that they had worked hard in the Anxi Army for several years before they managed to get the layoffs of Zhenwu Colonel. If it weren't for
The brothers were scattered and leaderless. They may never have the chance to fill the gap in commanding a regiment of soldiers and horses, and command a group of troops alone. But today, they just joined the imperial envoy and were promoted from captain to captain.
Moreover, the number of troops under their respective command has also been expanded, from less than one regiment to two full regiments.
You must know that at this moment, Wang Xun's own direct subordinates, including the prisoners who were added just now, only have four regiments of troops. The soldiers controlled by Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan combined are enough to compete with the general?
This is such a big-hearted decision. How can a general who can make such a decision not be heart-wrenching? After being stunned for a while, Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan looked at each other, jumped off their mounts in unison, and faced the king.
Xun stood up and raised his hands, "Sir, my lord, you are so kind to me, I will be ashamed of myself!"
"You two seniors are really polite!" Wang Xun laughed and jumped off his mount, reaching out to hold Sha and Huang, "We are all seeking wealth on the edge of a knife, why are you saying these kind words? Hurry up.
It’s serious to take time to train them and put them to use! To be honest, if you need to use them to fight others in the future, Wang will not be polite to you!"
"I am willing to listen to your orders!" "Don't you dare to sacrifice yourself for your Majesty!" Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan stepped back half a step and saluted Wang Xun solemnly.
At this moment, Wang Xun was confident that he really had the support of the two of them. He waved his hands with a smile and suggested loudly, "They are all from the Anxi Army, so let's not waste time on the false courtesy. You two quickly organize the team.
, and then go to the military tent in the camel team to find me. I’ll go there first to appease the traders, and order people to prepare some food. Let’s eat later and discuss what to do next!”
"Thank you, sir!" Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan thanked them in unison, and then went to reorganize their troops happily.
After watching the two people leave, Wang Xun ordered Fang Ziling and Wei Feng to organize their respective subordinates, and then took Yu Wenzhi, Song Wu and others back to the center of the camel caravan.
In the center of the camel caravan, the traders witnessed an unsuspicious battle with their own eyes and had already admired the young imperial envoy. Everyone hoped that this business would continue like this and they would encounter the indifferent horse thieves.
He would go forward and chop him down, and when he met the little minions who came to spy, he would turn into a hedgehog and show off his power, so no one would have to worry anymore.
However, the merchants were not sure how far the imperial envoy was going to escort everyone, and they did not dare to take the initiative to ask. As the lowest status among the four people of "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce", they could usually follow the county magistrate directly
The above few words are a rare honor. Let alone criticizing the imperial envoy. He is the emperor's messenger, carrying Shang Fang's sword in his hand. If you are not happy, I will kill you first and then punish you. Who can everyone complain about?
go?
But once the expectations in their hearts arose, it was difficult to suppress them. Based on their past experience in dealing with the government, the vendors gathered together a gift and recommended Cheng Ji shopkeeper Cheng Siyuan and family general "Mo Da" as representatives, etc.
In front of the gap in the camel caravan, he "rewarded the master", hoping that this gift list would impress the imperial envoy, so that he would try his best to order his troops to escort everyone for a while.
Qi Dazui and Chu Duoyan, who happened to be chasing the fleeing enemy, also rushed back to pay their orders. When they saw Shopkeeper Cheng and Mo Da, they took the initiative to say hello. Shopkeeper Cheng was worried about how to talk to the imperial envoy, so he immediately
He grabbed the two of them and poured out the merchants' requests through the bamboo tube like beans.
"I guess everyone's worries are unfounded this time!" Qi Dazui hesitated for a moment, then dropped his schoolbag with a smile, "If the imperial envoy was not compassionate, how could he have taken us so far before? He is on this trip.
We shouldn't ask, and we can't ask, where his final destination is. But as long as he continues to go west, we will follow the team, and I believe he will not refuse!"
"That's right, that's right!" Shopkeeper Cheng's back is a bit hunched because he lowers his head to talk to people all the time. "But we have received benefits from adults, so we have to show something, right? Otherwise, wouldn't we be laughed at?
Do you know etiquette? Both of you are people who can speak well in front of the Imperial Envoy. As long as you make your intentions clear later, everyone will definitely think of you two!"
"They're all from the countryside, I don't care what's good or bad!" Having just tasted the feeling of chasing a horse thief to pieces, Chu Duyan felt that his vision and mind were much broadened. He smiled and declined shopkeeper Cheng Xu's request.
"Brother Qi and I will definitely try our best to convey everyone's wishes. You and Brother Mo must also look at you and don't make random requests that shouldn't be made!"
"That's it, that's it!" Asking for help, Shopkeeper Cheng nodded and bowed, his back even lower. "You all know that the little old man is never a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. But everyone puts their trust in the little old man.
The little old man is here, and the little old man must try to find out what the Lord is saying. Later, please try your best to give the little old man as many nice words as possible. And you, Mo Da, will see me later."
Turning his head, he was just about to tell his companions a few words about the details that need to be paid attention to when meeting the imperial envoy, but he found that the always humble and polite family general "Mo Da" had his head raised at this moment, his eyes staring straight in one direction. Shopkeeper Cheng
Feeling anxious, he pushed the other person and whispered: "Mo Da, Mo Da, what are you looking at? Did you hear me?"
After pushing a few times, General Mo Da came back to his senses. He first glanced at Shopkeeper Cheng, who was full of fear, and then glanced at Wang Xun, Yu Wenzhi and others who were gradually approaching from a distance.
In his tone, he said to himself: "This is what a man is, and this is how a man should live! Wanqi's half of his life, this half of his life, has really been wasted!"
"What are you talking about, Mo Da?!" Shopkeeper Cheng was confused, and gave "Mo Da" a hard push on the arm, anxiously reminding him, "The Imperial Envoy is coming back soon. Don't lose yourself in front of his old man.
It’s etiquette!”
"My name is not Mo Da, my name is Wan Qi Yu Xie!" "Mo Da", who had always been kind to others, suddenly lost his temper. He threw off Shopkeeper Cheng's arm and emphasized loudly, "Don't worry, everyone, I'll go talk to the Imperial Envoy.
He said, "I have some friendship with him! However, from today on, Wanqi has to say goodbye to you. Wanqi doesn't want to stay here anymore! Wanqi wants to live the life of a real man today!"
