Chapter 25 Two Unlucky Men
With hot tea and a few snacks, Song Nan's stiff and tired body was relieved. At the same time, she also knew the reason for the matter from Jiang Bin's narrative.
It turned out that Jiang Bin roared and invited Song Nan to come overnight, but he didn't catch the prisoner. In fact, after Jiang Bin led more than 200 elite soldiers of his choice to the Black Mountain Fort yesterday afternoon, he immediately launched a raid on the small stronghold of the Tharam.
The Taran soldiers have been arrogant recently. They have built five or six strongholds in the north of the village to use them as transit and resting places to harass the border areas of the Ming Dynasty. The general combat principle of the Taran cavalry is mainly to attack and plunder, and there are no large number of permanent soldiers. The battle between the two sides is also dominated by small troops. Weizhou Wei in the Black Mountain Fort area is also It is mainly to prevent raids and looting. The number of Heishan Fort is limited, and there are only more than 40 permanent soldiers. Second, these soldiers are forced to come here to garrison. Thank God that they can save their lives. They will not expect to take the initiative to flirt with the Mongols. In this way, Mongolian riders are also bold. Since October, there has been frequent nuisance. The village robbed a lot of property and the people and temporarily hoarded them in the transit fortress, waiting for the opportunity to be transported away.
Jiang Bin led the crowd to suddenly attack the Talar soldiers and was caught off guard and was pulled out of three fortresses. It was not until the arrival of the Mongolian cavalry reinforcements that Jiang Bin announced the withdrawal of troops and returned to the Black Mountain Fort with more than a dozen prisoners and dozens of rescued people. The task of capturing the prisoners could be completed successfully.
But the trouble is that the prisoner was caught, but the candidate who can be used as a false testimony could not be selected. Once the Mongolian soldiers are captured, they know that they are a dead end. They are completely waiting to die. Jiang Bin is a good hand at cutting people and killing people, but this matter obviously requires his brains and mouth. Jiang Bin suddenly doesn't know what to do. I had no choice but to ask Song Nan to come. If this important witness and confession were not properly made before the morning, Fang Datong would definitely explode.
Song Nan couldn't laugh or cry after listening to Jiang Bin's narration, but he also admitted that Jiang Bin's attention was right. The witness is an important part of it. The candidates and confessions should be implemented, and it is guaranteed that they will not talk nonsense when they pass the hall. It is not okay to pull a person out casually. I thought they didn't need to worry about these things. Unexpectedly, he still had to do it himself.
"Lord Jiang, where are the prisoners of the Tahs? Take me to have a look."
"In the stone room on the lower floor of the fortress, I asked a few brothers to greet them."
Song Nan naturally understood what the so-called greeting meant and hurriedly said, "Take me to have a look."
The two walked out of the hall and went southeast. A row of stone steps slowly went down and went deep into the ground. It was a stone room half buried in the ground. As soon as they entered the room, there was a sound of ghost crying and howling. The air was mixed with the smell of blood and shit. Song Nan frowned and looked at it. More than a dozen Tartar prisoners were stripped and tied to the pillar. Several The Ming soldiers were laughing and beating them with the whip dipped in cold water. The Tart soldiers shouted, and some of them had already urinated and were in a mess.
Song Nan frowned and said, "Why torture them?"
Jiang Bin scratched his head and said, "I want to give them a majesty first, torture and humiliate ordinary dogs and turts. They are afraid of suffering, so won't it be easier for us?"
Song Nan smiled bitterly and said, "Is there a leader in this?"
Jiang Bin asked the soldiers around him, "Is there a salam leader?"
The soldier said, "I don't know. Ask them all and say it's ordinary soldiers."
Song Nan asked, "Have you figured out their names and identities?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Song Nan sighed secretly. Naturally, things can't be fake. Their names and identities must be right, and they know their identities before they can choose the best candidate. Jiang Bin seems to completely ignore these factors.
"Let them go and let them put on their clothes. I want to know their names and identities. It's better to have a Taran leader among them. Officials are more life-saving and more convincing than the confessions of ordinary Tarate soldiers." Song Nan whispered.
Jiang Bin nodded and ordered people to untie the soldiers. The soldiers put on their clothes one by one and stood there in a row. Song Nan looked around. These guys were similar to the Han people. If it hadn't been for the different clothes and hairstyles, they really couldn't see the difference from the Han people.
"Tell me, which one of you is the leader?" Song Nan asked.
The Tarot soldiers only want to die quickly and turn a blind eye to this problem. No one wants to give up their leader before they die. Anyway, they can't live. It's superfluous to say one more word.
"Listen, you Tatans harassed my Ming border town, plundering and burning all kinds of evil. It is not too much to kill thousands of knives in our hands, but this time we thousands of households don't want to kill you. As long as you give the leaders among you, you can regain your freedom and let you go back to reunite with your families. " Song Nan said harshly.
The many tarots can't believe their ears. The two sides have never been captured and can still go back alive. They all tried their best to torture each other to death. How can they be vicious? How can such good things fall on themselves today? Did Changsheng open his eyes?
The Tatari soldiers exchanged their eyes with each other, and some people were ready to move. Suddenly, a Tatari soldier muttered a few words loudly. Suddenly, the other Tataritan soldiers closed their lips and did not dare to move.
Song Nan saw it in his eyes and asked Jiang Bin, "Do you know what he said?"
Jiang Bin stretched out his hand and summoned a soldier and said, "Don't you understand the dialect? What did that one say just now?
The soldier said, "That man told them not to believe our words and said that we lied to them, and it is inevitable that they will die in the end; if they confess to the officer, the whole family will be killed after they go back, and none of them will be left behind."
Jiang Bin said angrily, "Japanese mother, this dog must be an official. Come on, pull him over and give him a taste of the means."
Song Nan originally wanted to object, but when he thought about it, these Tatar soldiers were far more difficult than she thought, and it was necessary to set an example. The two soldiers stopped the talking Tatar soldiers and dragged them over. Jiang Bin flew up and kicked them in the mouth without saying a word. He only heard 'Kala', and the Tarot soldier's jawbone was kicked to crooked. On one side, several teeth, together with minced meat and blood, spewed out of his crooked mouth; as soon as Jiang Bin took action, several executioners immediately rushed up and beat them. The Tatarman's bones were immediately broken in dozens of places, like a pool of mud on the ground.
"Drow it into the field to feed the wolf." Jiang Bin shouted.
The soldiers dragged the soldier away, leaving a long blood stain on the ground, which was frightening.
The Tarans were shocked and died. They couldn't stand such suffering before death. The man who dragged away just now was obviously not dead. He was left in the field in the wild in such a cold day and was torn by the wild wolf without freezing to death. Such a death method is really terrible.
The hand soldiers kept spitting and didn't even look at the Ming army in front of them.
Song Nan said, "Gentlemen, your family is looking forward to your return. It's rare for thousands of us to be graced. Are you going to waste this opportunity? Imagine that the man just now was beaten half to death and thrown out to feed the wolf?
A soldier suddenly said, "Left and right are dead, and they will involve their families for a long time. I can't say it."
Song Nan smiled and said, "It's just to say who is the official. It's not a betrayal. Besides, who knows what you said when you go back? As long as you cooperate, I can swear to let you live."
The Tazi soldier said, "People who go back alive inevitably miss the wind. Who says it's unlucky?"
Song Nan laughed and said, "It's easy to do. Come on, take them down. Everyone has to give the name and position of the official, and then compare them uniformly. If there are people who can't match, or refuse to explain, there will be no mercy. Now all of you have explained, and no one can get rid of their relationship. Let's see who dares not be strict when they go back."
As soon as the people heard this, they suddenly felt that it was a good way to live. However, if they were stabbed by a leak and implicated their families after going back, it would not be worth the loss. In this way, everyone will keep their mouths tightly closed. As for the official who was confessed, he must be dead. There is no proof of death, and this matter will be done.
At present, the Tartan soldiers were taken down to explain separately. After a while, 13 pieces of paper were summarized. Except for two Tartan prisoners who handed over the white rolls, the other Tartan prisoners got full marks. The two men who handed in the white rolls were the little leaders of the Tartans. They happened to be fat and thin, and the fat one was called Dalu Chi brand of soldiers; and that The thin man is actually a centurion named Hua Wenwen.
Jiang Bin was surprised. He thought that there were at most long-scale soldiers here, but two big fish appeared. Song Nan was also extremely happy. The higher the official position, the more he cherished his life, the easier it was to start, and the more effort he spent.
Two Tarot officers were taken into a secret room with a pale face. Jiang Binping retreated from idle people and so on. They only interrogated the two alone with Song Nan. Their identities were exposed that they would die, but they would die happily and less suffering. At the time of questioning, they also spoke simply, answering questions, and did not beat around the bush.
It turned out that there were only some low-level soldiers stationed in the Tartar soldiers' fortress north of Weizhou. The Tartar soldiers went south to disturb them by riding around and would not station in one place for a long time. Hua was not gentle and Daluch was originally stationed in the northern military camp farther away, but I heard that the Weizhou fortress has recently looted a lot of supplies and many women. Hua The meek egg pain, wanted to sneak to get some oil and water and be happy by the way. Then Daluch was the head of his brand army. The two smelled similar and brought dozens of their own soldiers to the area of Heishan Fort in Weizhou.
It's just a pity that the years are unfavorable, and I don't know that the incense has not been burned before the immortal throne. Coincidentally, Jiang Bin happened to launch a capture operation. The two had no time to escape and were captured by Jiang Bin's men.
People were unlucky and drank cold water and stuffed their teeth. It was not an exaggeration to describe the mood of these two guys at this time. The two regretted their intestines and felt that they would not be lucky this time. After explaining, they blocked their necks and waited to be stabbed.
Jiang Bin and Song Nan looked at each other and laughed after listening to the story of these two unlucky people. There seemed to be God's will, and the identity of 100 Tart families was more convincing. The rest was to convince one of the two people and then wait for Fang Datong to come to inspect the goods.
