Sweep the World

On a moonless night, the stars in the sky are especially bright.

In this age when the atmosphere is still unpolluted, and there are no dense urban lights on the land to reflect the atmosphere, when people look up to the sky, they can see obvious galaxies.

That is really the Milky Way. It is the other cantilevers of the Milky Way. The third cantilever of the earth makes people look up at the sky. In different seasons, you can see the dense galaxies of the first cantilever and the second cantilever.

Observing the sky from the earth, the nearby stars are planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, meteors, interplanetary matter, just like the moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, etc. The celestial bodies in the same galaxy reflect the sunlight. Some stars that are not that big will also.

The farther stars are the light that comes from the stars in a galaxy, or even the light produced by a certain star or planet after it explodes.

There are two places in the quarry that need to be guarded by heavy soldiers, one is a warehouse for storing working tools, and the other is an underground secret room for storing detonators.

When the warehouse is led out, the guarding force will be reduced.

Waiting for the tools that were led out to return to the library, the guarded forces will increase.

The number of soldiers guarding the tool storeroom tonight is no different from usual. It is a team of sixty-six people including team leader, general leader, and corporal leader.

In the Han Empire, there are five people with one corps leader and one corps, so there are six people.

Two teams will have a very long, that is thirteen people.

A team has five corpses and ten corps leaders, plus fifty soldiers and a team rate, then it is 66 people. It is not that the team rate, the corpus leader, and the corporal leader are counted together and only fifty. people. This is different from the modern army.

Regardless of whether it is a corps leader, a squad leader, or a squad leader, they are not actually military officers.

In the Han Empire team, you can't be regarded as an officer, you need to be a military commander to be regarded as an officer class.

The highest military officer in charge of the quarry is a garrison commander, which also means that there are more than two hundred armed garrisons in the quarry, which is probably close to three hundred.

The underground warehouse where the detonators are stored is not in the camp area of ​​the quarry, but a post about kilometers away from the quarry. This is naturally for the sake of safety, as if the army will deliberately arrange the gunpowder delivery team farther away from the army, so as to prevent the death and injury of a large group of people in the event of an accident.

"Our first goal is not to immediately hit the warehouse where the tools are stored." Alati did not deliberately lower his voice, he said in the local dialect of the Western Regions: "It is to set fire and create chaos after launching!"

The resting place for the slaves was a long row of dormitories built of wood.

The space inside the dormitory shown as a long shape is very small, and a row of beds also made of wood nails occupies seven tenths of the space, leaving a long and narrow walkway.

A dormitory can accommodate twenty people, and their beds are directly connected to the wall. When the weather is cold, people sleeping by the windows will directly freeze to death.

Since it is a slave, it is naturally not compatible with any comfort, eating the simplest food, the smell of meat has long been forgotten, and many times you don't even want to see a drop of oily flower.

Naturally, it was impossible to have comfortable sheets on the bed. It was just spread with weeds and rice straws, but there were some linen blankets for everyone.

After long-term heavy physical work, but not keeping up with nutrition, the fat on the body must be consumed, making the person look extremely thin, like a skeleton covered in a layer of human skin.

If a person loses weight, his physical strength and strength will definitely decrease. Not only will he not have much endurance, but doing heavy work is tantamount to wasting his life. If you go on for three to five years, you will undoubtedly die.

The Han Empire has so far consumed nearly 1.8 million slaves, most of which are due to heavy work but not getting the nutrition they deserve, and even the lack of rest, which leads to overwork and death.

More than 6,000 slaves in the quarry came from different places, so there will be a language of each place.

Some people with higher language talents have spent three to five months learning other languages, generally Chinese for basic communication.

There is actually only one Chinese language. Chinese is a collective term. The Chinese spoken by the Han people living in Henan and the Chinese spoken by the Han people living in Hebei sounds like two languages, but both Henan dialect and Hebei dialect belong to Chinese.

The slaves knew Chinese, but because the Han people they came into contact with came from different regions, what they learned was the dialect of a certain region.

At night, the voices in each dormitory were louder than usual.

Because they are from different countries and regions, I can't recognize what I'm talking about, but I can hear a sense of tension that can't be concealed from the tone of the speech.

"What do they want to do?"

"Although I don't understand, it's definitely not a good thing."

The coyote is from the Western Regions, he was born in Shanshan... also known as Loulan.

Although they are from the Western Regions, the Western Regions have never been a unified country, and their ethnic composition is also very complicated. Each ethnic group has its own language. It is not that being a Western Region can understand all the Western Regions languages, just as if you are a Han, you can also listen to it. When you don’t understand Chinese.

The little wolf is from the peninsula, and he and the coyote communicate in a low voice in standard Chinese.

The so-called standard Chinese is the official language promoted by the Han Empire, that is, Mandarin.

Of course, Liu Yan knew that Mandarin came from the crappy Mandarin, but he grew up in this language. His mother tongue is Hokkien, but Hokkien cannot be used as Mandarin in the Han Empire, right?

"Something's wrong, something very wrong!"

"Should we alarm the guards?"

In the dark dormitory, because the coyote and the little wolf are adjacent to each other, when the two pairs of eyes look at each other, they see the fuzzy outline of each other's facial features.

Those who speak the dialects of the Western Regions and the prairie dialects do not know what stage the communication has entered, or there is a quarrel, there is a tendency to become more and more excited.

Although slaves are all slaves, there are also slaves who are unwilling to accept their fate and those who have already accepted their fate.

The coyote and the little wolf come from different places, and they have become friends because they have the word "wolf" in their names.

Two people from different places have the same background, that is, both are poor people with nothing. Three days before they became slaves, they couldn't taste the slightest taste of food in their mouths. When they became slaves, they at least knew what rice noodles were. They could even eat meat on some grand festivals of the Han people.

"Anlahu Akbar!"

"God, Haben!"

In the darkness, several people shouted slogans and suddenly attacked those around them.

Of course, there is no "God" yet, but just like the pronunciation of "GOD" no matter what God is called by Westerners, the pronunciation of "God" in some areas can also be "God" or "God".

Just now, the slogan was yelled from the mouth of the man next to the coyote. As a native of the Western Regions, I knew where the slogan came from. It was an Arab in Sassanid territory.

The coyote was actually a little dazed at that moment. All he knew was that there were no Arabs in this dormitory, and he didn't understand how the slogan appeared. When he was still in a daze, his neck was pinched, and he struggled subconsciously.

First there was a riot in a dormitory, and then more and more dorms were fighting.

The dormitory where Lin Sui lives is better than other dormitories. The wooden bed has a layer of sheets, each person has a quilt, and the windows have paper windows to keep out the wind.

Their dormitory is larger than other dormitories and can accommodate thirty-two people. These thirty-two people were naturally Han hard laborers. When they heard that the surrounding dormitories were in chaos, they all turned over and sat up.

"what's the situation?"

"The bunch of cheap bones are fighting."

"It's not just a dorm fighting."

During the discussion, they squeezed to any place where they could look out. In the dark night, they could not see much, they could only listen to the movement.

The movement in the dormitory area was naturally discovered by the camp guards. Since there were too many fighting in the dormitories and the area involved was relatively wide, the guards on duty sounded the alarm in the first instant.

The slaves were fighting in the dormitory originally. They didn't know whether they broke the wooden stick-fixed windows or were kicked out by hitting someone. The first slave got out of the dormitory, and then the second and third... Gradually the door of the dormitory was also destroyed, and slaves poured out.

The bell was ringing, Zhou Qing was awakened from sleep. He stood up and walked quickly to the window. Because it was a three-story building, he looked down. There was already a fire in the dormitory in front of him. Under the light of the fire, people who were fighting or running around could be seen.

Obviously, what is happening is no longer a mere brawl, even if it is not a premeditated riot, it is also developing toward an outbreak.

"Send a quick horse to report to the county town!" Zhou Qing was putting on his armor and shouting at the guards who came over: "At the same time, ask for help from the headquarters!"

Their camp is within the jurisdiction of Wuyang County. Wuyang County is not a big county, but as a county, there must be government service, and then the county lieutenant can immediately call for military service to organize the county and county soldiers.

The so-called headquarters is the subordinate of the chief lieutenant of Xiangcheng County. A county governor in the Han Empire is the county guard, but the chief army is the county lieutenant. Depending on the location of the county and the difference in population, each county also has a large or small garrison in a peaceful state.

There are more than 6,000 slaves in the quarry, but the total number of guards, supervisors, and related staff is only more than 350 people, almost one person has to deal with ten slaves.

If the slave stays on his own feet, it won't be a big problem for many Han people to take care of him.

For this kind of preventive guard mission, it is impossible to say that the long-term matching of the number of guards is unreasonable. Second, the country does not do it even if there are more soldiers. Maintaining a proper ratio is the normal mode.

"I didn't notice the clues before?" Zhou Qing faced Zhou Ming who came over, without questioning, and without any irritation. He reflected, "We have taken for granted our surrender to the alien race."

That's the same thing. Contemporary Han people are in their most glorious and proud moment.

In the past, even if the country was powerful, the power of the country did not actually have an intuitive impression to most people.

Now the Han Empire does not lack slaves of foreign races. I can see that my life is changing day by day. From time to time I can hear which country the army destroys, and look at the foreign races. They are so cautious and pleased when facing themselves. It is an intuitive understanding of the country. How powerful it is.

Out of contempt and contempt, although the staff of the quarry did not deliberately abuse the slaves, it is not necessary to say how much they should pay attention. Some measures that should be taken are not done, such as developing informants among slaves. Know in advance.

"The tool warehouse has not been impacted." Zhou Minglai has already understood the general situation before: "It looks like a conflict between various ethnic groups, and then slowly affects the entire camp."

Zhou Qing also received a report that the commotion slaves did not rush to the outside, and there was no sign of breaking through the camp and going out for the time being.

The two exchanged their known information, and they concluded that the slaves were fighting in their dens, believing that before the reinforcements arrive, they only need to guard the exit passage of the camp.

"This bunch of cheap bones is very wrong!" Lan Zi was slamming on the door with a few people, and someone was hitting again and again outside. He yelled: "Usually I don't even have the courage to look at us directly, but today I have come around, and I have a stance to kill us!"

Although they work in quarries, Han hard labor and foreign slaves are not the same kind of people, and it can even be said that they will never be the same.

Alien slaves never dared to pierce Han hard labor, and cowardly alien slaves really did not dare to stare at Han hard labor. Even if there was a contradiction, it has always been alien slaves who tolerated Han hard labor.

"Those guys' eyes are all red." Although Lin Sui is a deserter, he is one of the six who have been on the battlefield among the thirty-two: "Not only is his behavior crazy, his eyes are crazy!"

When encountering this kind of incident, even if the rest of them looked down on Lin Sui in normal times, they all knew that they were deep in the vortex of riots. Only the other thirty-one of them could believe it, or even depend on each other.

"No guards appeared~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Lin Sui punched out, and a slave whose head came in through the window was hit and collapsed. He pushed the lifeless slave from the inside out: "There is only one mine in the mine. A village must have chosen to guard the passage. "

Those who have a bigger picture, think about it for a moment, and think that the guards are responding correctly.

If the commotion is detected in advance, or before the riot spreads, the guards will come in and suppress it.

Now the entire dormitory area is in chaos. Thousands of people are fighting frantically. The scene is extremely chaotic.

The tool storehouse must be guarded, so at least one team can't move, and even more guards need to be strengthened. The safest point is to use two teams to guard it.

The remaining passages must also need to be guarded, and less than 120 people may be able to open into the camp. With such a small number of people facing thousands of slaves, it is of course the best to be able to scare the slaves, or they will be overwhelmed.

What the Han people in the quarry didn’t know was that the slave riots had already occurred a few days ago. Zhou Qing had to wait for the people sent out to return before he knew that it was not just them here today, but also the four camps that built roads. There have been riots of varying degrees.
