Chapter 1007 Attacking Han Worldwide ([-])

The stars in the sky are especially bright on moonless nights.

In this era when the atmosphere was not polluted and the dense lights of cities on land did not reflect the atmosphere, people could see obvious stars when they looked up into the sky.

Those are really the Milky Way, other cantilevers of the Milky Way. The third cantilever where the earth is located allows people to look up at the sky and see the dense galaxies in the first and second cantilevers in different seasons.

Observing the sky from the earth, the closest stars are planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, meteors, and interplanetary matter, just like the moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter...etc. The celestial bodies in the same galaxy reflect the sunlight, So will some less massive stars.

For the distant stars, they are the light of the stars in a galaxy, or even the light produced by the explosion of a certain star or planet.

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

When the tools are taken out of the warehouse, the guarding force will be reduced.

Waiting for the tools that have been taken out to be returned to the warehouse, the guarding force will increase.

The number of soldiers guarding the tool storeroom tonight is the same as usual. It is a team of 66 people including the team leader, chief and corporal.

In the Han Empire, a team of five people and a team leader formed a team, so there were six people.

Two Wuhui will have one head, that is thirteen people.

A team has five Shi and ten corporal leaders, plus fifty soldiers and a team leader, then there are 66 people, not only 50 people after including the team leader, Shichang, and corporal leaders.This is different from the modern army.

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

Even the ranks of the Han Empire can't be regarded as officers, and they need to be the commander of the village to be regarded as the rank of officers.

The highest military person in charge of the quarry is a village chief, which also means that there are more than 200 armed personnel stationed in this quarry, probably close to 300.

The underground warehouse where the detonators are stored is not in the camp area of ​​the quarry, but an outpost about a kilometer away from the quarry.This is naturally for the sake of safety. It seems that the army will deliberately arrange the gunpowder transport team to be far away from the army, so as to prevent a large group of people from being killed or injured in the event of an accident.

"Our first goal is not to attack 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 fires and create chaos after launching!"

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

The space in the long-shaped dormitory is very narrow, and a row of beds that are also nailed with wood takes up seven tenths of the space, leaving a long and narrow corridor.

A dormitory can accommodate 20 people, and their beds are directly connected to the wall. If the weather is cold, people sleeping next to the windows will freeze to death.

Since he is a slave, he naturally has nothing to do with any comfort. Eating the simplest food, the smell of meat has long been forgotten, and many times he even doesn't even think about seeing a drop of oil.

Naturally, the bed could not be covered with comfortable sheets, it was only covered with things like weeds and straw, but some linen blankets were distributed to each person.

Doing heavy and heavy physical work for a long time, but not keeping up with nutrition, the fat on the human body will definitely be consumed, making the person look extremely thin, like a skeleton covered with 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 stamina, but doing heavy work is tantamount to wasting his lifespan. If he continues to do it for three to five years, he will undoubtedly die.

The Han Empire has consumed nearly 180 million slaves so far. Most of them died of overwork due to heavy work but not enough nutrition, and even insufficient rest.

The more than 6000 slaves in the quarry came from different places, so they would have their own local languages.

Some people with higher language talent spent three to five months learning other languages, usually Chinese for basic communication.

Even in Chinese, there is actually only one kind.Chinese is a general term. The Chinese spoken by the Han people living in Henan and the Chinese spoken by the Han people living in Hebei sound like two languages, but both Henan dialect and Hebei dialect belong to Chinese.

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

At night, there were more voices than usual in each dormitory.

Since they come from different countries and regions, it is not possible to identify what they are talking about, but they can hear a sense of tension that cannot 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 hyena is from the Western Regions, and he was born in Shanshan...that is, the so-called Loulan.

Although I am from the Western Regions, the Western Regions have never been a unified country, and the ethnic composition is also very complicated. Every ethnic group has its own language. It is not that a person from the Western Regions knows all the languages ​​​​of the Western Regions, as if they are clearly Han people. 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 evolved from the poor Mandarin Mandarin, but the environment in which he grew up was the education he received in this language.His native language is Hokkien, but he can't use Hokkien as the official language in the Han Empire, right?
"It's not right, it's very wrong!"

"Shall we alert the guards?"

In the dark dormitory, coyotes and coyotes had adjacent beds, so when they looked at each other, they could see the blurred outlines of each other's facial features.

Those who spoke Western Region dialect and grassland vernacular did not know what stage the exchange had entered, or a quarrel had occurred, and there was a tendency to become more and more excited as they spoke.

Although all slaves are 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 came from different places, and they became friends because they both had the word "wolf" in their names.

Two people from different places have the same origin, that is, they are both poor people with nothing.Before they became slaves, they could not taste any real food in their mouths in their mouths for three days. After becoming slaves, at least they knew what rice noodles were, and some Han people could eat meat on some grand festivals.

"Allahhu Akbar!"

"Allah, Harben!"

In the dark environment, several people chanted slogans and suddenly attacked the people around them.

Of course there is no "God" yet, but just as Westerners always pronounce "GOD" no matter what god they call, some areas can also use "Allah" or "Allah" when pronouncing "God".

There was a slogan just now coming from the mouth of the man next to Coyote. As a person from the Western Regions, I knew where the slogan came from. They were Arabs from 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 that slogan appeared.When he was still in a daze, his neck was pinched, and he struggled subconsciously.

First there was a riot in one dormitory, and then more and more fights broke out in the dormitories.

The dormitory where Lin Sui lives is better than other dormitories. There is a layer of sheets on the wooden bed, a set of quilts for each person, and paper windows to block the wind.

Their dormitory is larger than other dormitories and can accommodate 32 people.These 32 people were of course Han hard laborers. When they heard that the surrounding dormitories were in chaos, they turned over and sat up.

"what's the situation?"

"The bastards are fighting."

"It's not just one dorm fighting."

During the discussion, they crowded to any place where they could look out. In fact, they couldn't see anything under the dark night, 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 fights in the dormitories, which involved a wide area, the guards on duty at night sounded the alarm at the first instant.

The slaves were originally fighting in the dormitory. I don’t know whether it was because they broke the windows nailed with wooden sticks, or they were beaten and kicked out. The first slave left the dormitory, then the second, and the third...Gradually, the door of the dormitory was also broken, and the slaves poured out.

The bell was ringing, and Zhou Qing was awakened from his sleep.He turned over and walked quickly to the window. Since it was a three-story building, he looked down. A dormitory had already been set on fire in front of him. Under the light of the fire, figures who were fighting or running around could be seen.

Obviously, what is happening is no longer a simple brawl, even if it is not a premeditated riot, it is developing towards an outbreak.

"Send a fast horse to the county to call the police!" Zhou Qing was putting on armor for himself, and yelled at the guards who came over: "At the same time, ask the headquarters for help!"

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

The so-called headquarters is the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of Xiangcheng County. In the Han Empire, the person in charge of a county was the county guard, but the person in charge of the army was the county commander.Depending on the location of the county and the size of the population, each county also has a large or small garrison in peacetime.

There are more than 6000 slaves in the quarry, but the total number of guards, supervisors and related staff is only more than 350, which means that one person has to deal with twenty slaves.

If the slaves kept their own place, it would not be a big problem for as many Han people to take care of them.

For a preventive guard mission like this, it is impossible to match a high proportion of guards in the long term. Firstly, the cost is unreasonable, and secondly, this is not what the country does no matter how many soldiers it has.Maintaining an appropriate ratio is the normal mode.

"Didn't you notice the clues before?" Zhou Qing faced Zhou Ming who came over, not in a questioning tone, not to mention exasperated, but reflected: "Our submission to the foreign race has been taken for granted."

That's the thing, the contemporary Han people are at the most glorious and proud moment.

In the past, even if the country was strong, the power of the country actually had no intuitive impression on most people.

Now the Han Empire does not lack slaves from foreign races. Seeing how your life is changing day by day, you can hear from time to time which country the army has destroyed, and seeing how cautious and flattering the foreigners are when facing you, you can intuitively understand the country. How powerful it is.

Due to contempt and contempt, although the staff of the quarry did not deliberately abuse the slaves, it is not certain that they paid much attention to it. Some measures that should be taken were not taken, such as developing informants among the slaves. If there is any trouble, Know in advance.

"The tool warehouse was not attacked." Zhou Ming had already understood the general situation before he came: "It looks like conflicts between various ethnic groups broke out, and then slowly affected the entire camp."

Zhou Qing also received a report that the agitated slaves did not attack the outside, and there was no sign of breaking out of the camp for the time being.

The two exchanged the known information and came to the conclusion that the slaves were fighting each other. They believed that they only needed to guard the way out of the camp before the reinforcements arrived.

"There's something wrong with these bastards!" Lan Zi and a few others were firmly against the door panel, and someone was knocking outside again and again.He yelled: "Usually we don't even have the courage to look us in the eye, but today they came around, looking like they would kill us all!"

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

The foreign slaves never dared to prick the Han slaves, and the timid foreign slaves really did not dare to make eye contact with the Han slaves. Even if there was any conflict, the foreign slaves had always tolerated the Han slaves.

"The eyes of those guys are all red." Although Lin Sui was a deserter, he was one of the six out of 32 people who had been on the battlefield: "Not only are their behaviors crazy, but their eyes are also crazy!"

Encountering this kind of incident, even if the rest of the people look down on Lin Sui, they all know that they are deeply involved in the vortex of riots, and only the other 31 people can trust them, and they even depend on each other for their lives.

"There are no guards." Lin Sui punched out, and a slave whose head came in through the window was hit in the temple and fell limp.He pushed the lifeless slave from the inside out: "There is only one village in the mine, so I must have chosen to guard the passage."

Those who have a big picture will feel that the guard's response is correct after a little thought.

If the commotion is discovered in advance, or before the riot spreads, the guards will come in to suppress it. Naturally, there will be no problem.

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

The tool warehouse must be guarded, so at least one team cannot move, and the guards need to be strengthened. The safest point is to use two teams to guard.

The rest of the passages must also be guarded, and there may be less than 120 people who can enter the camp.With such a small number of people facing thousands of slaves, it is of course best to scare the slaves, otherwise they will be overwhelmed.

What the Han people in the quarry did not know was that a slave riot had already occurred a few days ago. Zhou Qing had to wait for the people he sent out to come back before he knew that it was not only their place that was in chaos today, but also the four camps where the road was built. There were riots of varying degrees.
