Chapter 40 International Mercenaries
Chapter 40 International Mercenaries
"Governor, Governor! There is one thing." A famous ten-man commander happened to lead a team to patrol, trot a few steps, approached the horse, and reported in a low voice.
"Say!" Zhu Bashiyi pulled off the reins of the war horse and ordered loudly. He was not arrogant, so his relationship with the soldiers at the bottom was quite harmonious. Whether it was the brother of Zuo Jun or not, he would be willing to say hello to him when he met, and would be willing to notify him as soon as possible if there was any new news.
But today, the tenth prince named Lu Li didn't run up to say hello. He lowered his voice a little and added with great caution, "When you were not here two days ago, there was a Rakshasa ghost who once shouted to see you. Later, he was knocked unconscious by the Koreans with a stick and dragged away!"
"Rakshasa people? Looking for me?" Zhu Bashiyi was stunned for a moment, not trusting his ears very much. Since the battle that day, he has never had any interaction with the Rakshasa soldiers. If these guys do not continue to "labor transformation" properly, why do they come to him for doing?
Just as he was confused, a harsh sound of iron chains twitching the ground suddenly came from his ears. Then, a strong smell of rotten eggs came to his nose. Looking up, he saw a gorilla covered in hair rushing towards him with teeth and claws open, and his mouth kept making a shrill cry for help, "Save, help! Master?!"
"Master?!" Although the Chinese spoken by the gorilla was not standard, Zhu Bashiyi understood what he meant and couldn't help but be slightly stunned again. Before he could come back to his senses, the tenth husband Lu Li had already rushed forward with a steel knife, and he slashed the gorilla-like guy to the ground with a knife.
"Catch him, catch him!" At this moment, two Goryeo talents in charge of supervising chased after him, raised the wooden stick, and beat the "Gorilla". "Run! Tell you to run! It scares the general's war horse, and our family will peel you alive. Run, you will run again! I will kill you today, so that our family will not be worried every day!"
"Stop!" Although Zhu Bashiyi had no good feelings for the Rakshasa people who looked like gorillas, he had a worse impression of the Goryeo supervisor. Seeing that the gorilla was about to be beaten to death, he frowned and shouted loudly.
After the words came, the two Goryeo supervisors immediately felt like they had a big tendon. "Pu, pu" one after another, kowtowing, and begging for mercy: "General, General, you are kind to me! It's not that the villain's supervision is not good, it's because this is because this Rakshasa is too cunning, too cunning!"
"Okay! You two get up and stand aside!" Zhu Bashiyi frowned and continued to whisper.
Two Goryeo supervisors followed the order and quickly climbed to the side of the road with their hands and feet, continued to kneel down, and did not dare to walk away immediately. The "gorilla" who was beaten to the point of bleeding from his mouth and nose immediately crawled forward a few more steps and bowed deeply at Zhu Bashiyi, "Thank you, Master for your grace. Ivanov is a waste! Ivanov also has great use. Please give me kindness and allow Ivanov to redeem himself!"
At this moment, he was only wearing a bag cloth, and his whole body and the iron chains that bound his hands and feet were covered with feces. As soon as he moved, the smell was so stinking that Zhu Bashiyi almost gave out all the supper yesterday. He quickly pulled the horse's head to the upper vent, and asked with a frown: "What did you say? When did I become your master? What does self-redeem, self-redeem means!"
"Ivanov lost to his master, be a slave, be submissive!" The gorilla quickly turned his head and responded with a gesture of "ding" with his hands, "I didn't lose to others! I'm a slave to others, be submissive!"
"Would you like to be a slave for me?" Zhu Bashiyi put a lot of effort into pieced together what the other party wanted to express. It turned out that this guy thought he only lost to him on the battlefield that day, so he was only willing to be a slave for himself. If anyone else was replaced, he would not be convinced.
"Yes! Ivanov is willing to fight for his master!" The gorilla's face immediately showed an ecstatic expression and continued to make gestures. "Kill people for his master and kill any enemy. Ivanov is a mercenary, not a coolie. He is wasting his penis!"
After all of them getting to this point, they still think that they are a character? No wonder they are beaten every day. Zhu Bashiyi smiled and automatically ignored the self-proclaimed part of the gorilla's words and went straight to the point, "Are you a mercenary? Since you are a mercenary, why don't you work hard in your country, but you ran to Xuzhou?!"
"Yes, it was His Majesty the King of the Golden Horde who paid for us!" The gorilla thought for a while, and his answer gradually became fluent. "There are few Mongolians under him, and they are precious, and they don't want to go to the battlefield. We Slavs are many, cheap, loyal, and are not afraid of war!"
It turned out that the Golden Horde paid a group of mercenaries, mixed in the recruited soldiers, and sent them to the Mongol Emperor in the capital as cannon fodder. No wonder this gorilla-like guy actually ran to the battlefield in Xuzhou! In an instant, Zhu Bashiyi figured out the whole story. Just as he was about to learn about some things in Europe in this era, he was taken first by the other party and emphasized to him: "Ivanov has been a mercenary for twenty years, and has fought with Normandians, Saxons, Ottomans, and Catalans! Ivanov can fight, and has a lot of experience and experience! When you are a coolie, you lose money, you lose a lot of money!"
"Brave, you can fight, why don't we catch prisoners?" Before Zhu Bashiyi could respond, the soldiers of the Red Turban Army around him had already started to laugh loudly.
Hearing the ridicule everywhere, Ivanov's face turned slightly red. He waved his hands a few more times and defended loudly: "It was not that you were caught by you, but that was caught by the general, the general. The general grasped the secret of gunpowder. Ivanov was convinced by the loss!"
"Go! Cooked duck, hard-mouthed!"
"It's now, I'm still stubborn! I just get beaten but don't have a memory!" The soldiers of the Red Turban continued to ridicule disdain, but their voices were obviously much smaller than before. Everyone knew in their hearts that the guy who looked like a big horse monkey was telling the truth. If it weren't for Governor Zhu's shocking attack that day, those who were wearing iron chains to do coolies were probably everyone present!
When Zhu Bashiyi heard that the other party was still speaking, he pressed his hand down and continued to ask with a smile: "What do you mean is that you don't want to continue digging the gutters. You want to join the army under my tent and use your skills to use your skills?"
"No, not to be a soldier!" The gorilla's face clearly showed a look of overjoyment, but shook his hand to continue bargaining, "If you are an officer, you must be a leader of a thousand people. Ivanov has been a mercenary and a captain of a mercenary. If you are a soldier, you will lose a lot of money!"
"Ph! Not enough greed!"
"If you have more and more greed, you will not urinate and see what your virtue is!"
When he heard that this person wanted to be an officer, the soldiers of red scarves surrounded him again and spitted and ridiculed him loudly.
The gorilla Ivanov refused to give in and shook the iron chain on his wrist, and the stench spread out with him as the center of the circle, "I know how to fight, at least more than you. You know how to rush forward like ants. But we know how to line up and cooperate, and stab you to death like sheep killing!"
"Beat him!" I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers of the Red Turban rushed up, punched and beat the gorilla to the ground again, and rolled on the ground with their hands in their arms, "Oh, oh! You don't have the right to hit me, I am, I am the captive of the General. You, you didn't get the consent of the General! Oh, lord, if you beat me to death, you will lose a lot of money! You will lose a lot of money!"
"Okay, leave him a breath!" Although Zhu Bashiyi was not satisfied with the attitude of this person when he spoke, he also understood that in terms of battlefield organization, the Red Turban Army was indeed a little less than a little from the group of Rakshasa people that day. Therefore, he first drank all the brothers, and then said to the "Gorilla" who had been beaten so hard that he could not get up: "If you want to be an officer, stand up and follow me! As long as you can prove that you are really capable, I don't mind having one more Slav and a thousand commander under my command!"
"Crazy!" Ivanov, the gorilla who had been holding his head and was dying, immediately stood up from the ground. He shook the iron chains on his body and bowed to Zhu Bashiyi, "Ivan, Ivanov, Ivanov, Ivanov, are willing to serve you!"
"Ivan, Ivanovich?" Zhu Bashiyi looked around and couldn't find where the other two were. The Red Turban soldiers were also wary and pressed the hilt of the knife to watch. Three of them came, but everyone saw only one. If the remaining two people had malice in their hearts towards the governor, everyone could not atone for their sins even if they died.
"Ivan Ivanovich Petronov!" After all, he was a veteran. The gorilla immediately understood what everyone was guarding and pointed at his nose to introduce it again.
"You shameless, you're so long to give me a name!" The soldiers of the Red Turban realized that they were making jokes again, and swung their scabbards to knock on Ivanov. Ivanov thought it was to scratch himself, shook his torso that was so thin that he could see his ribs, and continued to say loudly: "Mercenary! The master needs to allow Ivan to redeem himself. One year, less than two years. Ivan worked for the master for two years without paying his salary. Then the master allowed Ivan to leave freely!"
"I think beautifully!" Zhu Bashiyi sneered in a low voice.
What's this all? Others travel through time, either they are the boss themselves, or they are heroes like Li Shimin and Emperor Gaozu of Han. When they need a younger brother, they are shocked. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei bowed their heads. It was my turn to follow a boss who is unknown in history. Not only did they find a gorilla from the pile of death row prisoners, but the other party has to bargain. Why is the gap between this person?
Thinking of this, he curled his lips again and responded loudly, "Either stay and continue to pick up the feces, or follow me and I'll go! It's my business to let you go when you can be free, and you are not qualified to bargain."
"I, I" the gorilla's face suddenly turned pale. After hesitating for a while, he was unwilling to die in the stinky ditch. He gritted his teeth and murmured, "I, let me go. Thank you, thank you for your grace!"
"This is almost the same!" Finally, he found a place to vent his anger. Zhu Bashiyi glanced at the gorilla again and told coldly, "Lu Li, open his shackles!
"Yes!" The tenth husband Lu Li agreed, grabbed the key from the Goryeo supervisor, stepped forward and opened the lock for Ivanov. Then he threw the iron chain and the key back to the Goryeo supervisor.
"Go back and tell the person in charge that this person Zuo Jun has taken it away!" Zhu Bashiyi shook the reins of the war horse, threw a sentence, and left.
How dare the Goryeo supervisor stop him? He knelt on the side of the road and kept kowtowing. He picked up the smelly chains until the sound of horse hooves went far away and muttered in a low voice: "Take it away and take it away! A Rakshasa slave is actually a treasure?! Nothing like our great Goryeo, we are capable, obedient, and eat less!"
Speaking of the three words "Galleon", I immediately felt full of energy. I put the iron chain on my neck, waved the wooden stick, and strode to supervise other Korean prisoners to work! It seemed as if I had been the second most in the world since my birth!
