Mansulbey not only has a good capacity for wine, but also has all kinds of wine in his tent. Some of these wines also have complicated patterns and door badges, which are obviously the booty of bey in the war.

Mansulbey toasted Cherchen cup by cup. Often before he finished drinking this bottle of vodka, he opened another bottle of gin.

Although Chechen doesn\'t drink as much as yelishei, he doesn\'t drink much, let alone mix all kinds of wine. If Pedro wasn\'t here, I\'m afraid Cherchen would lie here tonight.

Pedro, who is good at wine, doesn\'t refuse to come. Again and again he touched the wine glass with mansulbey, white, red and yellow, all of which he poured into his stomach.

"Hero, hero!" mansulbey thumbed up and praised Pedro.

"Bey is the real hero, hero!" Pedro replied to Mansur bey with drunken eyes.

They laughed and bumped the glasses together again.

It was early in the morning when I came back from mansulbey. At the banquet, mansulbey negotiated a deal with Chechen - relying on Chechen\'s relationship with bayazid Khan, mansulbey hoped to buy a batch of salt from Ackerman.

As soon as Chechen returned to the mercenary regiment\'s station, he ordered two female slaves sent by mansulbey to take the drunken Pedro back to the tent to rest, and then he immediately went to yelishei to ask what happened.

In the place where ye lishei lives, Cherchen doesn\'t find ye lishei. Yelishei\'s Ma Bian told Chechen that his master had come back, and then went to see Dr. salben.

As there are still many serious and serious wounded in the mercenary regiment, salben has been busy in the ward these days, forgetting to eat and sleep, and rarely goes to the tent to rest.

In the field hospital of the mercenary regiment, Chechen easily found yelishei. Not only yelishei, but also fedot, Xie Miao and the bearded man who looks like yelishei.

"Head."

Seeing Cherchen coming in, yelisheyi and other three people quickly stood up.

Chechen motioned the three to sit down, and then he found a chair to sit down.

"Tell me about it." Chechen looked at the faces of the three.

Although in the fight just now, yelishei and other three people were very brave and took the advantage, as if they were fighting under their opponents. But Che Chen looked carefully under the light now. In fact, all three were hurt. Fedot, in particular, was not good at close combat. At this time, he took off his clothes and his naked body was full of bruises.

At this time, the three people look at me and I look at you. They are silent and seem to be waiting for others to speak.

After all, although the fight was happy, but after the three calmed down, they also knew how much trouble their impulse would cause to Chechen.

"You are the chief officer of yelishei, chief aleval Chechen."

Just then, the middle-aged man with curly beards, who was being bandaged by salburn, stood up. His two meter height almost wrapped Chechen in the shadow of his body.

"I\'m yelisi\'s father. You can call me old yelisi," said the bearded man.

There is nothing wrong with Chechen\'s guess. He is indeed yelishei\'s father.

It turned out that all the causes of the matter were due to yelisi\'s father, old yelisi.

As the Boye nobleman of liangzan, old yelishei was recruited into the army during the siege of Kursk.

However, this call-up cast a shadow of failure from the beginning.

Originally, as an important town of Czarist Russia, 574 Boye nobles should be registered in the military service list of Boye nobles in liangzan - but only 104 people were actually recruited, less than one fifth of the total. The reasons for the leave of 470 people who did not come were also very different: 300 people were serving in the western front line of Czar Russia, 70 people were in Moscow, 20 people were in Nizhny Novgorod, 8 people were prisoners of the nogai, 22 people had suddenly become disabled the night before recruitment, 20 people were working for local nobles, 2 people were missing, and 8 people were bedridden all year round, Another 20 people are carrying out the expansion of Siberia for czar Russia.

Old yelishei was among the 104 actually recruited. On the school field, old yelishei also met many of his old comrades in arms. These veterans with an average age of more than 50 have to go to the battlefield.

Although old yelishei is old, as a traditional Boye aristocrat, he has a natural sense of mission and sanctity for the recruitment of the czar. After returning from the school field, old yelishei turned out a set of ancestral scale armor equipment (including helmet, armor, arm armor and knee protection) from his home. However, due to the poor harvest this year and spending a lot of money on seeking positions and purchasing equipment for the other three sons, old yelishei had no spare power to arm his attendants after arming himself. He simply gave each attendant a helmet made of hard paper, plus a wicker shield, a bad bow and axe.

This situation is also common among the other 103 people. The servants of some poor Boye nobles can be said to have no even the most humble paper helmets. Their weapons are almost pitchfork and wooden sticks, which are no different from farmers.

Years of war had already impoverished the middle and small aristocracy of Czar Russia. It was mentioned by Anthony kingison, a British soldier who had been to Russia "When they get on the war horse and are ready to set off, they usually carry a knife of Turkish style and a pair of bows and arrows of the same Turkish style. Their saddles are made of wood and are decorated with gold-plated patterns and brocade. The saddles are also padded with colorful fabrics. Sometimes the cushions of the saddles are tanned and dyed leather, and the brocade is skillfully sewn in a circle with gold thread The magnificent scene of "rising" no longer exists.

In this state, the morale of the soldiers on the expedition can be imagined. But general Boris Pushkin, the Lord of liangzan City, set out towards Kursk with an infantry force composed of 104 Boye cavalry and 2000 Boye noble attendants.

Thirty miles away from Kursk, the army led by the Lord of Ryazan met the siege of nearly 10000 Tatar cavalry.

The cunning Tatars quickly solved the Scout sent by Boris Pushkin by sneak attack, and then launched a sudden attack before general Boris Pushkin and other noble officers noticed the abnormality.

Because of the sudden incident, the wooden wall on which the Czar Russian army relied to resist the Tatar cavalry had no time to expand, so they fell in love with the Tatars.

When the Russian infantry in the front line, who were resisting the fierce arrow rain of Tatar cavalry with a shield made of inferior wicker, were still resisting, Boris Pushkin, the general of Czar Russia, took the lead in escaping under the heavy protection of the guard. Most Boye nobles also followed suit, threw down their attendants and fled in the direction of liangzan.

"Although general Boris Pushkin left his army and fled, there is nothing wrong with him. As an old noble family inherited by Liang Zan for hundreds of years, Boris Pushkin has noble blood. Moreover, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is difficult to find one. As long as the officers are still there, we can organize another army."

When it comes to general Boris Pushkin\'s escape, old yelisi defended him.

Old yelishei and some old Boyes who regarded glory above life stayed. They fought hard and finally became prisoners.

"So it is."

After listening to the story of old yelishei, Cherchen understood something. Yelishei wanted to spend money to buy some of his compatriots to get rid of the fate of becoming slaves, but he unexpectedly saw his father among these prisoners.

As children, no matter who saw his father being handcuffed and sold, he would be angry. Therefore, the irrational yelishei came forward and beat someone, hoping to save his father.

"Yelishei, you did the right thing. If it were me, I would do the same as you." Chechen said to yelishei in a praise tone.

Unexpectedly, yelishei became red after listening to Chechen\'s words. He stood up and explained to Chechen, "Captain, it\'s not what you think."

"Huh?"

It turned out that when yelisi saw that his father had become a prisoner and was being sold at a marked price, although he was furious, he also knew that he was now among countless Tatars, it was impossible to rob hard, and it would also bring trouble to the mercenary regiment. Therefore, yelisi\'s first intention was to redeem his father with money according to the rules of Tatars 。

"But the guy named Grandet is really greedy," yelishei said fiercely.

According to the price of ordinary male prostitutes at that time, the price of old yelishei is generally between 20 and 50 tales. Although old yelishei is tall and powerful, he is too old to do much work even if he buys it back. Therefore, the slave dealer named grantai offered only 35 tales, which is a middle price.

Yelishaye still got the money, because he advanced a year\'s salary from Ingrid. Therefore, yelishaye went up without hesitation and threw 35 tales in front of Grandet.

Originally, the matter should be over. Unexpectedly, the "son" shouted by old yelishei made the whole thing rise again.

As soon as Grandet heard that the buyer was the son of old Yeltsin, he immediately realized that old Yeltsin was a rare commodity and could blackmail Yeltsin. He immediately said that the price of the slave had risen, because Yeltsin was his son, so it was not a simple sale, but a ransom. That is to say, Yeltsin came to pay the ransom. According to tartar According to the tartar rule, the ransom should be two to five times the value of slaves.

175 tale. It\'s just a rip off of yelishei.

Until this time, yelisi remained calm. Although 175 tales was not a small amount, it was still within his tolerance. Yelisi took out a full money bag with 200 tales in it.

But greed is endless. When Yeltsin took out 200 tales, the slave trader Grandet had regarded Yeltsin as a big fat sheep to be slaughtered.

The third time, Grandet raised the ransom to a staggering 1000 tales.

Now, yelishee couldn\'t bear it. He shook his fist and knocked grantair to the ground with one punch, and fought with a group of Tatar men of grantair.

"Then you\'re even more right."

Finally understand the cause and effect of the matter, Cherchen more affirmed yelishei\'s behavior. He finally knew why yelishei and fedot were making trouble in mansulbey\'s camp. The Tatars would be as indifferent as watching a play, and no one would help grantai - this guy was so ugly and greedy that he couldn\'t even watch the Tatars themselves.

"However, Colonel, I think that Grandet seems to be mansulbey\'s man. Just now, in front of everyone, mansulbey looked like he didn\'t care. Would he secretly hate you?"

At this time, fedot raised a new worry.

"It won\'t," said Chechen.

While drinking with mansulbey, Cherchen also inquired about who mansulbey\'s slave dealer was beaten by yelisi. At that time, mansulbey, who had already drunk, said contemptuously to Chechen, "it\'s just a domestic slave."

It was now daybreak. Che Chen stood up. He was about to order everyone to go back and sleep again. Suddenly, old yelishei stood up as if he had made up his mind. He said to Chechen in a loud voice: "commander Chechen, I am very grateful that you saved me. I will send you the money for my redemption after I return to liangzan. Of course, if you don\'t believe it, you can sign an agreement with me in the presence of the priest, if you have an Orthodox priest here."

"Father, what are you talking about!" yelishei Teng also stood up and shouted.

And Chechen was confused by old yelishei. Sign an agreement? This is too formal! As far as Cherchen knows, a formal agreement signed in the presence of the priest contains at least four aspects, from the prisoner\'s promise to become a loyal prisoner and obey any reasonable request put forward by the prisoner to the prisoner\'s promise to give up any right that may threaten the prisoner\'s ransom ownership; From the prisoner swearing to curse his breach of contract to determining the specific amount and form of ransom delivery. It will even state all the expenses of his captives caused by the captives, such as board and lodging expenses, etc.

But that\'s not the point. The point is, old Yeltsin is not his own prisoner. So Chechen said half jokingly, "yelishei\'s father, it was your son who saved you, not me. And we saved you by fist, not money. You don\'t owe me anything."

Old yelishei shook his head. He insisted, "commander Chechen, after I redeem myself, I have another thing, that is, I want to take my son, yelishei back."

"I\'m not going! I\'m doing well here. I won\'t leave," yelishei bet.

Listen to old ye lishei to take ye lishei away. At this time, Chechen remembered that when he came in just now, ye lishei sat with fedot and Xie Miao, while ye lishei\'s father, old ye lishei, sat alone on the other side.

Obviously, before they came, yelishei and his son had discussed this problem, and the result was not happy.
