Sima Daozi turned around and glared at Wang Guobao fiercely, but Wang Guobao looked calm and stood respectfully with his hands raised. Sima Yao pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then give the master of Tianshi Taoism, Sun Tai, the title of Qingxu Shangzhen, and teach the disciples who are injured on the battlefield to be compensated according to the standards of a sergeant." , for other rewards, let’s just say that the imperial court is currently in financial difficulty, and we can discuss it later.”
Sima Daozi cursed Xie An and Wang Guobao in his heart, and followed the two of them, bowing to his waist: "Long live my holy emperor, long live long live!"
Sima Yao smiled and turned to face the square in front of him. The drums and music were playing. Xie An cleared his throat, faced the square, and said loudly: "The ceremony of dedicating prisoners to the Ancestral Temple begins now!"
Sima Yao nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "You Qin captives did not understand the destiny and arbitrarily fought against our Jin heavenly soldiers, resulting in this defeat. You should have been killed, and your murderous heads should be sacrificed to our great army." Jin army and people, but God has the virtue of good life. I have inherited the great rule and want to be benevolent and righteous and promote my majesty. Therefore, today I will dedicate you and others to the Ancestral Temple as prisoners to report to my ancestors of the Jin Dynasty. The ceremony is completed and I pardon you and others. Not guilty, from now on, we will integrate the people into our household and join our Jin Dynasty to atone for the previous sin!"
The prisoners of the Qin army let out a long breath. Even those who could not understand Chinese, the people around them who understood Chinese were interpreting in a low voice. After all the various languages were spoken, everyone came together. They knelt down, bowed to the ground, and shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, long live, long live, long live!"
Sima Yao's eyes fell in the direction of the mighty and mighty army formation of his own side, and he said seriously: "God bless our Jin Dynasty. The soldiers will be bloody, and the country will be complete. The meritorious officers and soldiers will be handed over to the officials to judge their merits according to the law. I declare that starting from today, There have been three days of feasting in Jiankang City. Due to the invasion of the Qin army, the prohibition on alcohol to raise military rations is invalid from now on. Soldiers and people, drink to your heart's content!"
At this time, all the people in the city and the soldiers of the Beifu Army cheered and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live!" Waves of laughter filled the entire city and lasted for a long time.
At night, Beifu Military Camp.
In the camp, there were campfires everywhere, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere. The smell of wine was in the air. Every fire was surrounded by soldiers with red faces. The smell of barbecue and the aroma of osmanthus nectar were everywhere. The smell of women's makeup, the wanton laughter of military prostitutes, and the shaking of the earth in many camps made people blush.
Liu Yu stood alone on a watchtower, leaning on the railing, looking at the various forms of life in the camp. He saw Liu Yi leading more than a hundred gorgeous girls, swaggering in from the main gate. The two gatekeepers The sergeant wanted to step forward for questioning, but Liu Yi threw two wine bags over. The two sergeants laughed and got out of the way. Hundreds of strong men squatting on one side, all with their eyes shining, Everyone jumped up and surrounded him.
Liu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone is optimistic. These are the girls on the flower boats on the Qinhuai River in Jiankang City. We have long heard about the bravery of our Beifu Army warriors. Today, His Majesty has ordered a three-day feast. I I specially brought them here to work in the army, girls, you haven’t seen our warriors from Beifu yet.”
These more than a hundred women were all very charming. They said softly to the men opposite who started to drool: "Your Majesty is the hero of Beifu. I am so polite, little girl. I am lucky to be able to serve you heroes."
Yu Qiujin rubbed his eyes, smelling of alcohol, and said, "Are these girls from a brothel?"
Liu Yi curled his lips and said: "Old Yu, today is a happy day. What are you talking about? The girl said that the heroes of Beifu who have admired us for a long time are here to work for us. If you don't want it, you can give it to someone else."
Sun Chu covered his bulging bag with a chain around his waist and said, "Well, how much does this cost? I want to go home to marry my wife and have children, so I don't dare to spend more."
Liu Yi smiled and kicked Sun Chu: "Look at your potential! Let me tell you some good news. Today's girl, for free, is treated as Liu Yi's treat. Everyone just needs to say "Thank you, Brother Xile", and you can choose Let’s go and spend the spring night together, girls.”
Almost instantly, the words "Thank you, Brother Xile" echoed below. And Sun Chu quickly went up and picked up a beautiful girl, and immediately put her on his shoulders, and rushed towards a tent behind him like flying.
Liu Yu shook his head and sighed: "Xile really spent a lot of money this time. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to find so many girls at once. I heard that in Jiankang City, on the Qinhuai River, there is a drink Flower wine is much more expensive than Jingkou."
Liu Muzhi on the side was holding a big skinned pork knuckle in his hand. His mouth was full of oil as he ate it. He said with a smile: "You probably underestimated the strength of a fellow like you. I know both black and white. Remember the last time he killed the Diao brothers, he led his men to rob money. He has done this kind of thing frequently. Don’t think that he is really like you, living on just that little military salary."
Liu Yu sighed: "That's right, Liu Yi goes in and out of brothels not all because of sex. Many times, he makes friends with these heroes of all walks of life, and he really has to go to these places. This time he hired so many girls, free of charge. Giving it to the brothers to enjoy is also a way to build good hearts."
Liu Muzhi burped and wiped the oil on his mouth: "This is where Liu Jinu is inferior to others. On the battlefield, you can make everyone risk their lives to accompany you, but after the battle, you are boring. It won’t do you any good, so I guess it won’t be long before we all disband and go home, the brothers will all disband too.”
A cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes: "No, we performed very well today. His Majesty pardoned these Qin prisoners. He should also have plans to reorganize the army for the Northern Expedition. We will not disband and go home."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "If you really want to go to the Northern Expedition, you won't let everyone have a feast, and you will be rewarded based on your merits. The lions you want to prey on must be half-full. After they are full, Naturally, I won't fight for it. As for those prisoners of the Qin State, I'm afraid they will be publicly auctioned, and most of them will be merged into the manor of the noble families and become a new group of tenant serfs."
Liu Yuqi said: "Didn't you say that they were pardoned? Are they going to be organized into households and become citizens of the Jin Dynasty? Why do they have to become serfs?"
Liu Muzhi laughed and said, "I only pardoned their lives, but I didn't say that they would be able to become self-cultivated farmers who were assigned land. There will be an auction in Jiankang City tomorrow. How about sending slaves? Do you want to go?" How about buying two strong prisoners of the Qin army to help your family farm?"
