Yuan Bin took a team of royal guards and translator Kalai to the temporary prisoner of war camp set up outside the city.
A large number of Ottoman soldiers were imprisoned here. Many of them did not even know what happened. They only remembered the horrific scene that night, and then... Constantinople fell into ruins.
Now, they finally realized who they were fighting.
He is a god and a devil!
After that night, everyone lost their fighting spirit. It was impossible to fight, even in this life!
I just don’t know what my next fate will be, whether those devils from the east will let me go...
Wow!
The door of the camp opened, and a group of officers and soldiers walked in with murderous intent.
The Ottoman soldiers quickly retreated, leaving a large open space.
Yuan Bin glanced around and ordered: "Officer, come forward!"
Kalai stood aside to translate. After everyone listened, they all stepped back.
Yuan Bin said angrily: "Damn it, don't you even have an officer?"
This time, several people were pushed out reluctantly.
"Stand aside, you will have other orders later!"
After giving the order, Yuan Bin continued: "According to the Ming Emperor's will, the soldiers are fed and everyone is their own master. Now that the war is over, you can choose whether to go or stay."
Kalai was a little surprised, but he translated word for word carefully and did not dare to make any mistakes.
After everyone heard this, they were immediately in an uproar.
After losing the battle, I thought I was waiting to die, but it turned out to be just... okay?
"Listen carefully, if you are willing to stay and continue to be a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, your salary will be doubled than before. If you don't want to stay, it doesn't matter. The emperor will pay you travel expenses and you can make a living on your own!"
After everyone heard this, they immediately became excited. However, there were doubtful expressions on their faces. No one knew whether these words were true or false. Could it be a cat and mouse game?
Finally, someone plucked up the courage and stood up and said, "I want to go home. I still have a wife and children at home."
Kalai immediately translated, Yuan Bin nodded and said: "Leave the camp, register, and collect the money!"
Perhaps because he was so homesick, the man immediately walked towards the camp gate regardless of doubts.
Others watched helplessly as the man arrived at the camp gate. The guarding Ming army did not feel embarrassed. They just registered him in a book, handed him the money, and left.
Now, everyone couldn't sit still anymore and expressed that they wanted to go home.
The door of the barracks was opened, and everyone was registered, paid, and released in turn.
However, many people still expressed their willingness to stay.
These people either don't have family members, so they don't have any worries, or they see that the Ming army is like a divine help, so naturally they want to pick the thickest one.
When you go out to hang out, the most important thing is to find a good backer.
Look at people, they can fly in the sky!
In their understanding, only gods can do it.
After statistics, there are more than 500 people who are willing to stay, which is neither too many nor too few.
"Master Yuan, they asked...if they can leave?"
Kalai pointed at several officers on the side. It seemed that these officers were also planning to leave.
Yuan Bin said: "They can't leave, they will be useful if they are kept."
Kalai translated the original words, and the officers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Should the soldiers be released and the officers be executed?
Why...
"Come with me!"
Yuan Bin turned around and left. Everyone didn't know what to do. However, Jin Yiwei flashed his knife and followed him obediently without any need for translation.
Then someone came forward and counted the information of each officer one by one.
After one night, these people were let go one after another, and only five people remained. The one with the highest military rank was a colonel named Alessandro.
Yuan Bin called this person to the room alone. Counting Kalai, there were three people in total.
He first looked at Kalai and said coldly: "There should not have been a third person involved in this matter. The fact that you can appear here is the emperor's trust. I hope you don't have any thoughts, otherwise, I will take care of you."
Cut off the meat one by one!"
Kalai was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Yuan, I will definitely do my best and dare not let down the Holy Grace!"
"Okay, now you ask him, who is there in his family?"
"ah?"
Karai was stunned, weren't we talking about secrets, why were we talking about family matters...
"Ask, why are you standing there stunned?"
"Oh, yes, yes..."
Kalai turned around and asked: "Master Yuan asked who is in your family?"
Alejandro was also a little stunned and said: "There are only five wives and twelve children."
Kalai paraphrased the original words, and Yuan Bin cursed angrily: "Damn, he actually has so many wives!"
"This, this... is actually not that many. Duke Damman has twelve wives and more than thirty children. King Muhad has more than fifty wives..."
Alessandro looked at this and that, his eyes blank, and he mumbled a few words.
After listening to this, Kalai said: "Master Yuan, his wife is in Constantinople. I don't know whether she is alive or dead now."
Yuan Bin snorted coldly and said: "His fortune is good, he is alive!"
Alejandro was very surprised and asked: "Really? Are you lying to me?"
"What is my identity? Do I need to lie to you?"
Yuan Bin glared at him and continued: "Let me tell you, you are assigned a secret mission this time. If you do well, you will be promoted and make a fortune. If you do not do well, or you are suspected of surrendering to the enemy, your five wives and ten
The two children will be chopped into minced meat, made into steamed buns, and then fed to you one by one!"
Kalai started to translate, but stopped mid-sentence.
"Master Yuan, how do you translate steamed buns?"
"Don't you have any buns here?"
"No."
"Where are the dumplings?"
"nor."
Yuan Bin frowned: "Is there anything with fillings?"
"Hmm... pie."
"Then let's talk about pie."
"yes!"
Kalai continued to translate, chop your wife and children into pies, and so on.
After hearing this, Alejandro said: "I want to make sure that my wife and children are still alive."
"Don't worry, I will let you out later. You can just see how your wife and children are doing now. Now I will assign you a task. Just listen..."
Three days later, the last group of prisoners of war walked out of the camp.
These people still registered, collected tolls, and went home.
However, not long after they left, they gathered in a wilderness.
Alejandro stood in front of the team, looked at everyone, and said, "You all know your mission, right?"
"Know!"
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense. Now divide the people into five teams. The number of people should not be too consistent. The four of you, each lead a team and go around from different directions. The rest follow me, let's go!"
After a while, four officers led four teams away respectively.
Alejandro took the remaining more than a hundred people and rushed to Zigat City.
