The Cham men, women, and children present were shocked, thinking that Yan Yan was going to pull out the man who wanted to assassinate him just now and explode his body for public display. In fact, they often do this kind of thing. After the Cham captured Lurong city last year, I used to behead all the captured soldiers and hang their corpses outside the city gate, but the Han people pay attention to benevolence and morality, and have never done this before. Are these Han people more fierce than they used to be
In a short while, a large number of soldiers ran over carrying hundreds of large baskets. Seeing these baskets, the eyes of Cham men, women, and children suddenly lit up.
The basket is not filled with bloody corpses, but the white-flowered steamed buns. The Cham people usually eat corn. The steamed buns are only eaten occasionally by the head and noodles of the clan, and they are not used as staple food, but as "leisure food." Came to taste,
Yan Yan suddenly laughed, and gave a second order: "Anyone who has put down their weapons can come over and take two steamed buns to fill their stomachs first."
Trapped in the mountains these days, the Cham people can only feed their hunger with grass roots and bark. They have long been dizzy from hunger, otherwise the warriors of their clan will not be able to resist even a round. Now they hear this Yan Yan. The order immediately rushed forward like a hungry tiger. Fortunately, Yan Yan was prepared for a long time. Thousands of soldiers lined up on the wall to control the chaotic scene. Among these Cham people, there are many old and weak women and children, otherwise it will definitely happen. Stampede,
Although the steamed buns made of good wheat are genuine at a fair price, to the hungry Cham people, they are just a drop in the bucket. They are stuffed into their mouths three to five times. Many people still look at the empty baskets with unexplained expressions.
Yan Yan raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "As long as you really follow the big man, you will not only have steamed buns, but also fragrant rice. I promise not to make everyone hungry, but if someone dares to rebel , Then don’t blame Yan for being unkind, and Yan will definitely take your entire clan at that time."
The elders said in unison: "Please rest assured that the army will not dare to rebel against the court in the future. Please see the general. According to your request, we have selected all qualified women."
Yan Yan turned his head and looked, only to realize that, I don’t know when, the Cham team has been divided into two parts. One part is full of young women. Among them are women in their 20s and 30s, unmarried girls, and even more. Seven or eight year old girl,
Seeing these young girls, Yan Yan couldn't help but stunned, and said sharply: "Did you not figure out what I mean, these female dolls are also picked out,"
An elder said with a bitter expression: "The general does not know something. There is really no 10,000 people in the clan, so I have to pull these little girls out to make up the number. Or, the general will go over there and pick some more."
Yan Yan glanced towards the other side. Although there were many young women inside, it could be seen that they all have their own men and children. They waved their hands and said, "No matter, take those who are less than twelve years old. Take all the children back, and count as much as you have left."
There are still 10,000 soldiers from the Land Reclamation Corps guarding around today. These women were singled out to be their wives. However, seeing these dark-skinned, short-bodied women, many soldiers were not happy.
Most of these young soldiers have not yet married. They have worked for a day and slept in the camp at night. It is inevitable to talk about women. However, it does not mean that they have no special ideas about their future partners. The appearance of Cham women is just fine, and some are in their thirties. You know, in those days, it was common for women to marry and have children at the age of 14 or 5. In their thirties, their dolls were about the same age. Up,
Yan Yan saw the soldiers of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps squeezing, no one was willing to take the initiative to step forward, and couldn't help being furious, saying: "Since you don't pick yourself, then line up and lead them back one by one."
The military order is like a mountain. No one dared to resist this time, so I had to pray in my heart that my luck would be better and not to take an old lady back. In fact, although these Cham women are short in stature, their skin is a little darker, and their facial features are down. It's still correct, and if you look closely, it looks pretty, and the body is strong and can be nurtured, especially these women are good hands at work. They are good at farming, weaving, and cooking, although they are a bit compulsory. For the soldiers of the agricultural reclamation corps, it is also a good help.
The women of their own clan were taken away by the Han people like property. The elders of the Cham clan and the people who stayed still felt a little bit angry, but they dared not speak.
Yan Yan knew that in order to make these rebellious Cham people completely surrender, they must adopt a strategy of both soft and hard. Just kill people and build power, and reward them with a full meal. They are all in pediatrics and snatch young women from their clan. , This is the real big stick. After this, unmarried young men in the Cham nationality don’t have to ask for a daughter-in-law within three years.
The big stick has been swung, now it’s time to give a sweet date, Yan Yan suddenly took out a piece of paper and said loudly: "From today onwards, all Cham children from six to twelve years old can enter the big man. Schools study, free boarding and lodging, and five silver monthly living allowances. Those who are willing to study can go to the three counties of Xijuan, Lu Rong, and Lin Xiang to register tomorrow. Those who are unwilling to study, the government will not force it."
There was a sudden burst of violence among the Cham people. The reason why they rebelled over and over again was because their life was too hard and they had to endure the levies and taxes imposed by the Han officials. What’s more, the Han people didn’t allow them to study at all, so that they would never be allowed to study. There is no chance to get ahead. He can only work his entire life in farming and continue to be oppressed by the Han people. Now, this Han general not only allows their children to go to school, but with such good conditions, even if he doesn’t get ahead, he has to pay for the five pennies. No,
Liu Xin, who was far away in Xiangyang, received Yan Yan’s military intelligence bulletin and couldn’t help laughing, and said: “This Yan Yan is too ridiculous. Liu organized a farming corps and allowed them to set up a family and business in the local area. It’s good for a girl to be in love with each other. How can he be matched by a lad like this, and once matched, there are nearly ten thousand pairs."
Jushou laughed and said: "When you are in an extraordinary time, do extraordinary things, and General Yan is also a last resort. However, in this way, the Cham clan will not only be unable to rebel in a short period of time, but also have not been able to regain its vitality for ten or eight years. "
Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Well, I just feel that this approach is a bit improper, and I didn't mean to blame Yan Yan. It's just that those moral guards have to add another charge to Liu."
"My lord, you don't even bother to explain to them the crime of cannibalism. Do you still care about such a crime that is not serious or serious?" Jushou took out a secret letter from his sleeve and presented it to Liu Xin with both hands. Lord, please see, this is the crime they recently gave to Lord Luo Zhi. This is even more ridiculous."
Liu Xin took the secret letter, didn't even read it, put it on the table casually, and said, "Oh, who are they, and what crimes have been made for me,"
Jushou said, "It's not the group of Ni Heng. They said that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north had been fighting fiercely for more than half a year, with countless deaths and injuries every day, but the lord was sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fighting indifferently. It was really a heinous crime. "
"If you want to add to the crime, there is no reason for it. The real culprits that caused the charcoal of the lives are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. They don't blame Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but they put the crime on my head. It is really funny, and I am embarrassed to brag about my talent. Liu Mouxiang advocates freedom of speech. As long as they don’t go too far, let them go and ignore them," Liu Xin waved lightly and said, "By the way, what changes have been made in the war in the north recently? ,"
Jushou thought for a while, and said: "Returning to the lord, Li Yangcheng has changed hands several times in the past six months, which shows that the competition between Yuan and Cao is extremely fierce, but the two are very different in strength. It may be too early to tell the difference between the superior and the inferior. It’s just that recently the number of refugees entering Sili, Xuzhou, Jingzhou and other places is increasing, and most of them are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. The local government is under great pressure."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "This is also expected. The young and strong men are all forced to serve as soldiers. The remaining old and weak women and children have difficulty supporting themselves. They have to pay food and taxes and don't go out to flee. There is only one dead end,"
Jushou frowned and said, "I'm afraid that if this situation continues, the border counties will be overwhelmed."
Liu Xin waved his hand again and said, "Well, your worries are not unreasonable, so let's pass the order, let them take care of the lives of the refugees as much as possible, and ask the medical school to send some people to prevent the epidemic from happening. "
Jushou replied, "The subordinates will do it,"
During the fireworks in March, the grass grows up and the land of China is full of vitality. Liu Xin returned from an outing with his wives, concubines, and children. Suddenly, he saw several carriages parked outside the gate of the prefecture. Decoration, but in the prosperous Xiangyang city, it is just so ordinary.
Seeing Liu Xin riding a white horse and wearing a white robe, a middle-aged scribe suddenly jumped off a carriage, walked over quickly, and said, "Cao Min Qiao Xuan sees you,"
Liu Xin looked intently and found that it was indeed Qiao Xuan, a celebrity in Lujiang County. He was a little surprised. Qiao Xuan was upright and did not fear the nobles. When he was in Lujiang City, Liu Xin also took a lot of trouble to get rid of Qiao Xuan. If Qiao Xuan will take the initiative to come to Xiangyang to pay a visit, even Liu Xin doesn’t believe it.
But Qiao Xuan really stood in front of him, Liu Xin was just a little taken aback, and immediately smiled: "It turns out that it's a member of Qiao, why did you come to Xiangyang today?"
