Chapter 148: Participate in the Game (1)
The strange way of dying of the big boss made anyone who noticed it could not help but shiver. The other big boss probably did not jump out and shout for his life, but hid aside without saying a word.
When the other soldiers saw that the only remaining commander did not stand up, the small characters would not be able to fight their lives. They all shut up and the scene immediately calmed down.
[You are captured and will be released as long as you pay the ransom.] Cons shouted this first? Then he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to start binding people.
The explicit request for ransom is to reassure these prisoners. After all, they are now thieves and will be executed or sold as slaves at any time. If Cons does not say this, they will definitely resist to the end for their own lives.
Hearing Cons' words, the remaining big boss opened his mouth in panic and wanted to say something. But when he thought of his colleague's strange way of death, he immediately saliva without saying a word. He glanced at his subordinates around him and lowered his head helplessly.
Although my subordinates pretend to be thieves, they are in the army. When they hear that they can redeem their freedom, they will definitely give up resistance habitually.
Just as the remaining boss thought, his men heard that they could get freedom with ransom, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Without resisting, Cons's men allowed them to tie them up one by one.
I took prisoners, cleaned the battlefield, and sorted out the camps. It was not long before these work were busy, and it was dawn.
The remaining big boss, slightly counting Cons's men, sighed in annoyance.
The other party had a maximum of seven or eight hundred people, but he captured his two brigades.
If my subordinates were willing to fight to the death, the current situation might turn around. But what to say now? It’s too late. I’m tied up all of them. Whether they can survive depends on whether these people will keep their promises.
However, even if I can go back, I will be ruined. The division commander will never let himself, who is embarrassed, survive.
Thinking of this, the boss was disheartened and would have died in battle on the spot if he had known this. However, when he noticed Cons, who was surrounded by several people, his heart was thunderous, and the idea of living could not help but emerge.
The improvement of vision made the counting work much more convenient, and the results were placed in Cons' hands in a short while.
In this night attack, because Cons was prepared for it, the losses of the personnel were very small, with only fifty-four people killed in battle, and the others were injured by arrows at most, while the enemies who came to attack lay down 254 bodies, and nearly a thousand other people became prisoners.
In terms of materials, some wooden houses and tents were burned down, but two brigades of weapons were seized and thousands of war horses confiscated under the leadership of Black Wolf. According to various calculations, Cons won this time.
Logically, Cons, a person who commanded hundreds of thousands of people to fight, shouldn't be so good about the victory of thousands of people like this? He cared about it, but I don't know why? Cons was extremely excited to see the results of this battle, and was more joyful than when he led his subordinates to break out from the prairie.
Cons, who noticed this, couldn't help but laugh at himself. Maybe this is the difference between public and private?
The previous victories belong to the country and the emperor, and this victories belong to oneself and one’s own tribes. There is a huge difference between the two.
Cons was not sad for the soldiers who died in battle, but just a little sad. It was not Cons' cold-bloodedness, but in Cons's opinion, if he could die in battle, that was the best destination.
At this time, Oak, who had collected and inspected the captive weapons, came forward and said secretly: [Sir, it was not the bandits that attacked us this time, but the Imperial Army. The weapons and war horses they used were all marked by the Imperial Army. Although no military certificate was found from the prisoners, their calluses were enough to prove that they were soldiers.]
After saying these words, Oak's face turned ugly. In his opinion, those guys in the provincial government were amazing to send private troops from the smuggling gang. Who would have thought that they would actually send an army?
Moreover, these troops were so blatant that they changed their clothes and put down their military qualifications. The rest were all equipment in the army. Do they think they had eaten the Lord?
Xiang Wen looked shocked.
[Imperial Army! They actually dare to dispatch troops?]
Oak couldn't help but suggest: [Sir, why don't we destroy them all and destroy them? How about the death without evidence?]
Weijie looked at Oak in surprise. He couldn't believe that Oak actually made a proposal to kill prisoners. He couldn't help but ask: [Uncle, why? To kill them? They are all evidence!]
Oak knocked Weijie in anger and growled: [Idiots! They are indeed evidence of the local troops' murder of adults, but you don't think about how many people there are in the entire local security division and how solid their foundation in this province is. I'm afraid the other party will know now that we have captured their people!]
[As long as the division commander burned his boats and found an excuse to forcibly destroy us, wouldn't it be fine? Is there no evidence? So these prisoners are not only useless, but also cause big trouble!] Cons frowned. When he knew that these attackers were the Imperial Army, he knew that there was a big trouble. Although he knew that the provincial governor and the division commander would cause trouble for him, he had already sent some private soldiers, bandits and others for them at most. Unexpectedly, he was brave enough to send the army directly.
This is not easy to solve. The other party knows that he has captured so many imperial troops, and will definitely jump and kill him with all his might. After all, mobilizing troops to attack imperial officers is equivalent to rebellion. Once it is promoted, there will definitely be no good ending.
Although I am confident to take these hundreds of people to compete with three or four thousand people, I am absolutely unable to compete with the entire division. You must know that there are more than 80,000 people!
[Sir, I have an idea, don’t know if it is feasible?] Liu Bin, who has nothing to do, has been silent all the time, suddenly said.
Cons has almost forgotten this top cartographer in the East Continent these days. Although he didn't know what this cartographer had? But when he thought of the mystery of the East Continent, Cons was still very interested and nodded to Liu Bin and said: [Please say.]
Liu Bin, who was looked at by everyone, had a dirty face, so he didn't know if he blushed, but he could see his nervous saliva.
[We can interrogate the prisoners, then organize their confessions, and let them put a secret to prove their identity and the mission to go here, and then copy a confession and your own weapons to the provincial governor and division commander, and tell them clearly that we have no intention of being enemies with them.]
[And it means that the original confession has been sent to the imperial capital. Once something happens, the confession will be delivered to the imperial meeting, and finally it is vaguely showing that the relationship with the marshal is extraordinary.]
Xiang Wen and Wei Jie were a little stunned by Liu Bin's words. They didn't know what to do? It's useful, and Oak had clapped his hands and said: [Great, so the other party would at least be afraid of the enemy and dare not force us too much. Maybe we can get a share of the smuggling.]
Oak is most welcome to solve the problem in this way. You must know that once both sides completely break up, there will be no peace here. If you kill all day, there will be no time to build a territory. In this way, when will the adults become nobles?
It is not at this time that we want to make contributions. After all, the other party controls a reorganized division of more than 80,000 people!
Although I still can't figure out what the Xiangwen is? Liu Bin can solve the problem in a few simple words, but seeing Oak so excited and knowing that this is feasible, he turned his attention to smuggling.
[Yes, although we have the advantage of the territory, this is their previous smuggling channel. It takes a while and money to abandon it to develop another one. The money lost in this amount of time is enough for them to feel sorry for them. Since they can't deal with us, then? Do they still dare not accept us?] Oak sneered.
People present do not think that smuggling is anything wrong? Not good.
The goods smuggled are all in short supply in China, and smuggling does not require taxes, and can make money, and can also prosper the market. Except for the treasury that cannot collect taxes, neither the civilian nor the nobles have lost any losses.
The treasury belongs to the emperor. Where is the emperor? It’s not that much to have a few gold coins?
------This is the attitude of the vast majority of imperial people towards smuggling.
However, there are also many officials who crack down on smuggling activities. First, they can search homes and make money, second, they can get merits, and third, officials who control smuggling gangs must of course destroy other smuggling gangs to ensure monopoly.
[Sir, please leave this matter to my subordinates!]
Oak looked at several colleagues and sighed secretly. Although the camp construction is inseparable from him now, he still asked for his order immediately.
Although it is enough to send someone who is good at speaking this matter, among the five major guards, Rett and Lei Kai, who ignore it directly, Wei Jie has a way of inquiring about the news, but he is an immature boy and will not think about it in all aspects when encountering things.
Xiangwen? In addition to swordsmanship and excellent cooking skills, he is just a servant. Moreover, according to his appearance, sending him to the scene will only cause trouble.
Those centurions in the camp have another way to lead people to fight, so it’s a bit uneasy to communicate with people.
Although Liu Bin is feasible, his sloppy look of refusing to wash his face will definitely make outsiders frown. Therefore, no one else in the camp can do this except himself.
Oak secretly decided that for the sake of the great cause of the adults and to make himself more relaxed, he must carefully select from the civil servants' personal guards, and at the same time, he must cultivate a group of civil servants' personal guards.
Cons nodded: [Okay, I'll leave it to you, the staff will be your choice.]
Cons is not used to monopolizing power, and he is more willing to train soldiers if he wants him to deal with these cumbersome things.
When the prisoners found that their companions were taken away one by one, they were a little riot, and many people regretted not resisting to the end. They were tied up and could not resist now, but they wanted to resist.
However, seeing that those companions who were picked up were quickly released and replaced with another group of companions who were picked up, I found out after a brief investigation that this was an interrogation, and as long as I answered honestly, I would not suffer. The captives were relieved again.
The remaining big boss was nervously waiting for him to be pulled away. He didn't wait too long and was lucky to be pulled away in the third round.
The big leader was pulled into a tent alone. Before he could look at the situation in the tent, he saw a young man in a civil servant and asked him: [Name, position, military rank, military registration number. What is the task he was performing??]
The big boss was shocked.
Military rank? Military number? It seems that the other party knew his identity. He had already made a decision and said hurriedly: [This adult, my name is You'an, and he is the captain of the second brigade of the first company of the First Brigade of the Haiquan Provincial Security Division. He has the rank of major. This time, he came to the city because he received an order to eliminate the bandits here.]
The civil servant who had originally smiled because he had caught a captain, immediately glared and yelled after hearing Juan's words: [Bandit? Do you dare to call the heroic Imperial Army Major, Lord Cons, and our Lord Cons's troops a bandit! Are you tired of living?]
[Sir, I, little man, I just tell the truth. Who knows this is the territory of the major!] Juan knelt on the ground in panic and shouted.
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel bitter in my heart. Major? I am a major. I even want to call someone at the same level as me a master. It's really depraved!
But now I am just a fight? The fish on the board will be the adults in order to save their lives.
[Hmph! Did your division commander personally order you to attack Lord Cons?] The civil servant said coldly.
Youan subconsciously shook his head. He was just a captain. How could he ask the division commander to give an order in person? He received the commander of the regiment commander. Although he knew that this was the intention of the division commander, who dared to ask the division commander?
However, when he saw the fierce expression of the civil servant, Yu An's mind flashed and nodded and said: [Yes, the division commander personally ordered us to sneak attack the major.]
The civil servant showed a satisfied look and continued to ask: [Is the division commander attacking Lord Cons because Lord Cons discovered the division commander and provincial governor smuggling for the sake of killing people to silence him?]
After making a decision, Juan nodded immediately. In order to save his life, he did not care why the provincial governor and division commander would cause trouble for a little major. Even if the other party said that the division commander wanted to be the emperor, he would nod and say that it was right. Anyway, what the other party said? He would say whatever he said? This is the way to save his life.
When I saw what I said? What should I do if the captain in front of me? The civil servant quickly recorded it with satisfaction. After a while, a confession of the division commander and provincial governor treason appeared. I was lazy to see how shocking it was. Anyway, I signed the name and put a finger on it as required.
As for Youan, will this affect your family? Unless you participate in the plot, the family of the soldier will be very safe.
All soldiers in the Imperial Army organization were summoned nationwide and then assigned to various units as needed. In other words, the army itself does not have the right to recruit, so except for the archival materials of the military headquarters, no one would know where the soldiers' families were.
The local security division also has regular numbers, and the name of the province is their numbers.
This is done to prevent rebellion. It is conceivable that the results are very obvious. In the history of the empire, no Imperial Army with a regular number has participated in the rebellion.
Even if the officer holds up the flag of rebellion, the soldiers whose family information is in the hands of the empire will not participate for the safety of their families.
Therefore, the rebellion in the history of the empire was either slave riots or nobles relying on private soldiers to pursue rebellion, which caused little harm.
