Chapter 1609 List of Young People
According to the rules of the Arab Empire, when recruiting troops, everyone must be pulled out of the village. If there are no people, there must be a legitimate reason.
Now there are not only the young people on the list in the village, but also the old, weak, sick and young. It is obvious that everyone in the village has ran away. If this is the case, then there is nothing to say, then we have to Executing the highest order of the Arab Empire, the entire village was burned down. If you run out at this time, you are no longer a legal citizen of the empire. When you return, you will be a fugitive from the government, so your house will not need to be kept.
"Don't be merciful. After we leave here, someone will come to check. If they see that we didn't burn the village, then the blame will be ours. You don't want us to have problems, right?"
Rafe looked at Sambik who was hesitating. He really didn't know what to say. Your father was also a decisive person on the battlefield. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such great achievements. You really don't deserve to be you. My son, if you have to hesitate for a long time about such a thing, if you follow you to the battlefield in the future, we people may suffer the most.
Sambik hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to let his men start taking action. Even if he didn't want to burn down the village, the laws of the empire were here. If you don't want to punish these people, then you have to become The one who was punished.
"Why has our country become like this? It doesn't matter what we do abroad. After all, it has nothing to do with us. This is our own village. Look at the houses in this village. It takes a long time. It took a long time to build it, but now it is set on fire by them. When they come back, all their life savings are gone, and they can only go to the desert to become robbers. "
There is one more thing that Sambike has not said, that is, after becoming a bandit, there will be no turning back in this life. You will have to deal with the imperial army for the rest of your life. Your descendants, including yours, will have to live in the desert. The common people are afraid of these desert bandits, but that does not mean that the life of the desert bandits is easy.
When Sambik was still in the army, he was ordered to encircle and suppress a bandit in the desert. The life of those people was almost like hell. In addition to having food to eat, they had to face sandstorms in the desert every day. There are various natural disasters. If the sandstorm is too big, they may even be buried alive. In short, if there is a way out, I believe no one is willing to get in and become a robber.
Of course, there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, your whole family has been burned down, and the land allocated to you is definitely gone. In the records of the entire court, you are already a dead person. What else can you do if you don't become a robber?
If there are too many bandits in a country, it will not be a good thing for the entire country. The speed of population mobility will slow down and all kinds of production will stop. The country itself will face the trauma of the war, plus a large number of When ordinary people become robbers, they really don’t know how to live their lives.
"Put away your compassionate heart. We can't control that much now. After burning this place now, we have to go back and recover as soon as possible. If I'm not wrong, we will have many tasks next. This recruitment is really There are quite a few, and Marshal Sukhguman is scared."
When he said the last sentence, Raf almost put his mouth on Sambik's ear. In the broad daylight, saying that his marshal was scared was not a trivial matter. If the relationship between the two was not strong enough, If you do, you will never dare to say it. If someone reports it, you will have an arm cut off on the spot. The punishment in the Arab Empire is very serious, and it is also very harsh on its own people.
For Marshal Sukhguman, many people in the army originally had great trust. This guy led the Arab army to conquer the north and south, and achieved various victories. As long as he fought in the war, there was basically no failure. Winning.
But now the situation is completely different. The Tang army is also victorious. When the two sides collide, we should see who is the real trump card. Although the Arab Empire keeps claiming that we have won, as long as anyone with a brain You all understand that even the young men around the royal capital are being recruited. Is this a sign of victory for you?
After the entire Anton Governor's Palace was lost, it was already a heavy blow to the Arab Empire. Unfortunately, it was not noticed at that time, and the army lost was not a front-line army, so the top brass of the Arab Empire did not care about that. Wait until you When I started to care, the Tang army was different from before. This was also an important reason why it continued to fail.
When the whole village burned, it was already noon, and other people came from behind, thinking that something happened to them. When they saw the whole village burning, they knew that something was going on in the village. Everyone has run away, hurry up and let Sambike call his people back. There are other things to do in the afternoon. We can't waste a whole day because of a deserted village. We don't have that many people now. The time is delaying you.
Looking at the house with black smoke in the distance, Sangbik didn't know what to say. When he was on an expedition in the army, he also burned a lot of houses, but they were all enemy houses, and even some civilians were staying in the house, and they were directly set on fire. But now it's our own civilians' houses that are burned. Our own army is burning our own civilians' houses. What's going on? He doesn't know what others think, but Sangbik himself can't get over it.
The task in the afternoon is very simple, that is, to catch people in another village. According to the information Sangbik has learned, they may go to seven or eight villages in the past five days, so they must move faster.
If you move slowly, then the people in the village may run away, and then our mission will not be completed. Don't think that burning the village is the end of the matter. Now the most important thing is to catch people back. If you can't catch people back, then everyone will be punished. As for what kind of punishment, it depends on your superior's mood.
