Chapter 398 Strange thing, the military supplies issued to the Mongolians were lost the next day!
Aiyan was a slave from Mongolia in the Zhungar tribe. Last year, he had a relationship with a woman from his master's family. After being discovered by his master, he was arrested and prepared to kill him. This man was also a natural rebel, and took advantage of the careless guard.
, broke free from the rope tied to his body, ran to the stable, stole a horse and escaped.
Because the entire Mobei belongs to the Weitra Mongolian lineage, they have some common values and legal systems, such as the means of dealing with escaped slaves, so Ai Yan can only escape eastward. Ai Yan crosses Mobei from Moxi,
He fled to the vicinity of Guihua City in Monan.
Guihua City is not only far away from the Zhungeer tribe in Moxi, but also because the tribe has many businesses and is somewhat developed, it is relatively suitable for a single escaped slave like Ai Yan to live.
Suitability is just relative. Ai Yan, who came to Guihua City, mainly worked for the nobles and businessmen in the city. He lived a life without a meal, and even sold the horses he rode in just to have food.
In order to exchange money. For a runaway slave with a mark on his body, no noble family will accept him as a slave, and slaves will also not be accepted by the tribe as herdsmen. That is to say, the administrative chaos of Guihua City is caused by several tribes.
He can live in a shared city, otherwise he would have no place to stay.
The more underdeveloped and primitive a place is, the harder it is for a person without roots to survive, and various systems extremely restrict the existence of such people. This is why later generations say that big cities are more tolerant. Even if
In later generations, it will be difficult for a single man to live comfortably in the countryside. The size of the social unit in which people live has a great relationship with social productivity. Why there were big families in ancient times is because in terms of productivity in ancient times, large families gathered together.
Only by being born into a clan can production be guaranteed. It was only in modern society that families became smaller. In China, small families of three or four people only became the norm very late. In Northern Europe, where social output is higher, even marriage and family have begun to
Dissolved.
The family-style individual unit of the Ming Dynasty is a manifestation of developed productivity. The grassland has no choice but to form the smallest social unit in the form of tribes. Various systems on the grassland exist around the tribal production method.
Anyone who destroys the existence of tribal-style production methods will be strangled by the entire grassland, and there will be no basis for long-term existence. Guihua City is a little more special, with some commercial and urban characteristics, so people like Ai Yan exist.
Any society that has the power to maintain stability will have unstable factors that undermine stability. There have also been a lot of restless goods on the grassland. These goods even had a stable place to go in these hundreds of years, which was to escape to the Ming Dynasty.
Become a border soldier. Among the Ming Dynasty's border soldiers, there has always been a tradition of using Mongolian deserters as mercenaries, and many famous generals have emerged among them! However, in the past ten years, becoming a mercenary in the Ming Dynasty seems to have become a bad channel.
When the Ming army entered Guihua City and showed its presence on the grassland again, Ai Yan was keenly aware that he might have a way out. Sure enough, in February of this year, the Ming army posted a recruitment notice in Guihua City, and even considered
We hired dozens of Mongolian translators and shouted in the streets and alleys of Guihua City so that all the Mongolian people in the city would know about it.
Knowing that Akito was recruiting soldiers, Ai Yan hurried to the recruitment point for an interview. The interview was very simple. As long as your body looked healthy and your mind was fine, you could be admitted.
Ai Yan entered the Ming Army's military camp on the day she signed up and became a Ming Army soldier.
On the first day of entering the military camp, the treatment was quite good. Everyone was given a set of military uniforms, both inside and outside, and even walking shoes and cotton-padded clothes! In addition to what they wore, there was also a set of bedding and an enamel rice bowl for eating.
The enamel basin used for washing the face, and the skin bag used to hold water, are all in good condition.
"Aren't Ming people too rich? Are they giving away things like this? Aren't they afraid that someone will sell them for wine?" After Ai Yan got these things, she had doubts in her heart.
Things turned out just as he had judged. When the Ming army gathered the recruited soldiers the next day, they found that many of them were not even dressed neatly. With the help of a translator, the instructor asked them why they were not wearing military uniforms.
, the answer I got was that the military uniforms were gone and they were sold to the city last night and exchanged for wine.
The military uniforms that had just been issued were sold? How could such a weird thing happen? The instructor thought he heard it wrong! The furious instructor led people to check everyone's armaments. Then he felt like his brain was going to explode.
After a round-up investigation, only about 10% of the people's weapons were still intact. Others sold washbasins, enamel jars, and bedding. The most extreme ones sold out everything.
None left.
A strange thing in the world! Since the new army entered the army on the first day, many procedures have not been completed. I thought that I would relax for a day or two before imposing discipline on them. As a result, such a strange thing happened. Fortunately, the new army entered the army.
No ordnance was issued in the previous month, otherwise these weird guys might even be able to sell the ordnance to others.
These instructors are also inexperienced. They treat the Mongolian mercenaries based on the habit of recruiting troops from the Ming Dynasty. I don’t even think about the Mongolian people who can take the initiative to go to the Ming Dynasty military camp to serve as soldiers! The Mongolian people are not there in the first place.
The Han people have a sense of rules and have no concept of saving. In addition, the people who enter the military camp are restless among the Mongols. In the concept of later generations, this group of people are particularly standard lumpen proletarians. They have something in their hands.
, it’s strange not to want to let yourself be free. I’m already a good person if I don’t give you everything in exchange for wine and meat.
Nearly half of the military supplies sent out the day before were gone the next day. After receiving the urgent report from below, Mayu Liang’s head was filled with confusion. He had never heard of such a thing, and had never seen it before! The furious Mayu Liang,
Hurry up and discuss remedial measures with Ma Xu and others. The first remedial measure is to collect military supplies that have been resold from the shops in Guihua City, and at the same time introduce measures. From now on, any shop that sells military supplies will be punished, and military supplies will never be allowed.
circulate in the market.
Cleaning up the shops is one thing, but more importantly, cleaning up these guys who sell military supplies. These weirdos were punished by the Ming Dynasty's military law on the second day after arriving in the military camp.
, the owner who sold out all the equipment was directly sentenced to serve in a coolie camp for half a year.
I thought that such punishment measures were severe enough, but what surprised me was that when I checked the internal affairs the next day, I found that there were still a small number of people who were not fully equipped. After being picked out and beaten, they confessed that they were still being beaten.
They sold them in exchange for wine. There were some small traders in the city who took risks to collect military supplies. The military supplies issued by the Ming Dynasty were obviously valuable!
