Chapter 650: Han prisoners pretend to be Qin prisoners
Wang Mi's voice echoed on the high platform: "Everyone, take a look, take a look, these prisoners of the Qin army are all strong men in the Qin army. For more than a month, among all the prisoners of the Qin army, we have
After several rounds of physical tests and screenings, those with weaker bodies have been sold as ordinary slaves a few days ago, and the remaining ones can all reach the physical fitness close to that of the Beifu Army. If you take them
If you buy it back, you can not only look after your home and care for your home, but you can also join the army as a soldier in times of war and make contributions. The Holy Spirit has decreed that each prisoner of war only needs four thousand yuan to start bidding. What are you still hesitating about? Go and choose what you want.
Whoever wants it."
Xie Xuan was sitting in the pergola with a smile on his face. Looking at the prisoners on the stage, Wang Gong glanced at these people with excitement and said with a smile: "They are indeed the strongest men in the Qin army. Look,
Those muscles, those scars, although the complexion is not very good now, but with a little conditioning, he will definitely become a strong warrior, Youdu, do you want these people? If you don't want them, I will take action."
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "A Ning, you really should stay in the army for a while. These people are not the best. They are at the level of ordinary sergeants. I dare say that their level and physical strength are not as good as those of ordinary sergeants."
It will surpass the ordinary sergeants of Jin Dynasty."
Wang Gong's eyes widened, and he looked at the people standing on the stage again, shaking his head in disbelief: "No way, these people's arms are so thick, they look like strong men at first glance, how come there are only ordinary sergeants?"
What about your level? Youdu, although I have only been in the army for a short time, don’t lie to me. You can still tell whether there is a good soldier or a bad soldier."
Xie Xuan smiled slightly and turned to look at Liu Laozhi behind him: "Laozhi, what do you think?"
Liu Laozhi said calmly: "My lord is right, these people are not excellent soldiers. Their upper body strength is good, but their lower body is unstable. Look at those legs, they are shaking when they stand here. This shows that these people,
Obviously the Han people are mainly engaged in farming, so they have strong upper body strength, but they are not professional warriors. If they are warriors, the first priority is the lower body. Whether they are marching or arraying, they require strength in the legs and waist. Therefore, I
It seems that they are just strong Han men captured temporarily from the Qin army, that is, they are at the level of ordinary sergeants."
Wang Gong opened his mouth wide, looked at these people, and wondered: "That's not right, don't they all have braided hair? They are all Suolu, why are they Han again?"
Liu Laozhi smiled slightly: "In order to sell these people smoothly, of course we have to say that they are all barbarians. It is not troublesome to braid their hair temporarily. You know, if they are Han people, 80% of them will be treated as ordinary people."
The slave is sold, but if he is a barbarian who can fight, it is just a minor thing again, and the treatment is still much worse, which can be seen from the price."
Wang Gong nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, usually a slave costs five thousand yuan, but this time you can buy it for only eight hundred yuan, not to mention these highly skilled military guards. In this way, these people
Can’t fight?”
Liu Laozhi nodded: "Yes, only veterans for many years or those who lead troops can see that these people look strong, but their lower body is weak, and the muscle lines of their upper limbs are also thick. They are obviously strong people."
The peasants were recruited by the Qin army to serve as heavy troops. They carried carts on their shoulders all day long and looked quite strong. Unfortunately, the veterans could tell at a glance that these people could not go into battle."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Wang Gong's eyes: "After working for a long time, these people can't be beaten. I thought they could be used. Alas. Hey, that's not right. Didn't you say that there were hundreds of thousands of Qin army prisoners? According to you
If you think about it, even among the remaining tens of thousands of people, there are still these weak people who are just pretending to be incapable of fighting, so is the Qin army just a mob, not all of them capable of fighting?"
Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "Of course not, it's just that it's rare in the world to have a professional army like the Beifu Army, which has been trained for a long time and built with a lot of money. The Qin Army has one million, and at least more than 900,000 of them are temporarily recruited men. If they are Hu people,
Fortunately, after all, they are nomadic all day long, not engaged in production, and often fight to snatch pastures. As for the Han people, they usually make a living by farming and are not used to fighting. Most of them just make up a small number and form a formation during the war to scare the opponent and fight.
A tough battle is hard to count on."
"As for the elite aliens in the Qin army, they were either killed because of their stubborn resistance in the Battle of Feishui, or they fled on horseback when they saw that the situation was not going well. Not many of them were taken as prisoners, but a large number of them served as rearguards and baggage troops.
The Han people, who had no horses and ran slowly, fell behind and our soldiers caught up with them, so they knelt down and asked to surrender. Afterwards, we counted and found that there were only three to four thousand foreign barbarian prisoners who could be called warriors.
, but if only three or four thousand people come to participate in the auction, it will disappoint many aristocratic families, and they may even feel that our Xie family has tampered with it, so..."
Wang Gong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So Youdu, let Liu Yingyang and the others put the Hu prisoners who can really fight with most of the Han prisoners. Unless they are veterans who have been in the army for many years, they will be able to tell them at a glance."
Who is good and who is bad? Others just bought some old Han farmers who look stronger but are actually unable to serve as soldiers, right?"
Xie Xuan said with a smile: "That's pretty much what it means. However, even old farmers who have never served as soldiers can become a strong army as long as they are strong, willing to endure hardships, and trained well after being incorporated into the army. Who is born?"
Will there be a fight when we come down? So, I don’t think I’ve deceived all the young masters from the aristocratic families.”
Wang Gong smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's do this. Liu Yingyang will help me select some strong guards later. I can buy a hundred of them this time. Liu Yingyang, this little favor can help me."
Me?"
Liu Laozhi smiled slightly: "You should obey your orders."
Wang Gong smiled and looked at the stage: "Among these two hundred people, is there anyone worth choosing?"
Liu Laozhi watched these people walking back and forth on the stage, standing with gleaming eyes. After watching for a long time, he nodded, pointed to the people above and said: "Like the third person in the first row on the left,
Sixteenth, thirty-eighth, forty-fourth, and..."
Before he finished speaking, he only heard a broken gong-like voice from the other side: "I want all the fifty in the first row."
Everyone looked at the sound and saw a fat man with a red face in purple silk and satin clothes, his hands on his hips, pointing at the fifty prisoners in the first row on the stage, and shouted loudly.
Wang Gong curled up his lips and sneered: "It turns out to be Sanlang of the Chu family. When the Chu family was the head of the country, they were considered to have overwhelming power, but it has not been around for so many years. Could it be that there are not enough servants in the family?
