Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 651 Dongjiang Town Prison
"These people are all well-connected. They are all local princes, nobles, and generals. We let go of the small fish and shrimp, and we didn't bother to spend rations to send them here." Nanyang Fleet said the soldier.

Zheng Bing, Ruan Fuxi and the others looked at each other, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. They were small fish and shrimps in the eyes of ordinary soldiers on a small island controlled by the Kyushu Army.

"Forget it, I have dozens more places to eat, and I have to apply for more budget from the higher-ups. Alas, these prisoners are uncles, and it is really uncomfortable to watch them." The soldier in Yantai Feng Prison scratched his head. , I always feel a little uncomfortable.

The soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet handed over the captives of An Nanguo to the Yantai Peak garrison, and then resigned, and were about to return to An Nanguo.All the captives of Annan Kingdom looked curiously and anxiously at the wall of the Yantai Peak Fortress. It was made of stones and was about two feet high. What's going on inside the peak.But compared with the city walls, perhaps in order to save costs, the stone walls here are not as thick as ordinary city walls, which is enough to prevent the prisoners inside from escaping.There are two entrances and exits in Yantai Peak Fortress, both guarded by soldiers, with iron gates and fences.

"Come with us, we'll arrange your accommodation." The defenders of Yantai Peak Fortress didn't pay much attention to these princes and nobles of Annan Kingdom, because they had seen all the captive defenders who were more valuable than them.

Zheng Bing, Ruan Fuxi and others passed through the stone wall and entered the fortress only to find that there was a second wall made of barbed wire more than ten meters away from the stone wall.After passing through the barbed wire, it is the place where the prisoners are actually held, or the place where the prisoners live.

The houses here are very low, and the houses are gathered together, like a small village living on the mountain, with its own farmland and wells, not like the prison they imagined.Except for the stone walls that block the outside world, the barbed wire, and the soldiers guarding it are similar to the prison, the place where the prisoners live inside has nothing to do with the prison.

"This looks like a peaceful small mountain village, is it a prison?" Zheng Yi couldn't believe it.

"We don't call this a prison, but a fortress, and we don't have any intention of harming you. We just want you former nobles to stay in your place and don't let your former subordinates outside have any extra thoughts." Garrison The defenders of Yantai Peak Fortress said to them.

Although there were already hundreds of aborigines who were originally captives in the Yantai Peak Fortress, dozens of people from An Nanguo came over at once, which caused quite a commotion in the village. Some children, women, and old people opened the doors and windows to watch.

"You come with me. That area is the houses assigned to you. They are all wooden houses. The conditions are naturally not as good as before you were a dominator. But it's not too bitter. Every month, some people will be sent down the mountain. Even if you don’t have delicacies from mountains and seas, you won’t be starved to death if you get the living supplies. If you have leisure time, you can still plow the fields and plant flowers and plants.”

"In the middle of the village, there is a private school and library, where we collect a number of Confucian classics and new books, and from time to time, a gentleman from the Liaoning Academy of Sciences will come here to teach everyone. If you want to just Knowing how powerful our Kyushu Army is, this new learning has to be learned. In addition to private schools and libraries, there are also teahouses, piano rooms, and chess rooms, which are not boring."

"Everyone has a chance to go out for a walk down the mountain one day a month, and we will send people to follow, which is an extra treat for you."

The defenders of Yantai Peak Fortress introduced the situation and rules here to An Nanguo and others.

The people of the Ruan family and the Zheng family were shocked again. There are even entertainment facilities here, and they can enjoy one day every month. It is not as miserable as imagined.

"However, you must pay attention to one thing. Among the captives here, there are mixed fish and dragons. There are many who used to be higher than you in status. There are countless princes and generals. Everyone has their own temper. You must not play the young master's temper here to cause trouble. .Otherwise we will deal with you according to the law." Yantai Peak soldier reminded.

Afterwards, the Yantai Peak defenders arranged their respective residences. The military headquarters had made a list of everything in advance. Which one lived in which house was fixed, and if something happened, they could be arrested directly.For example, Zheng Bing and Ruan Fuxi shared a wooden house with their concubines and children.

The members of the Ruan family and the Zheng family were a little surprised, and a little relieved, and some were still confused about the future of the ten-year captivity.Even though the Kyushu Army provided them with a stable life here, after all, they were imprisoned for ten years, and they had to stay in the relatively closed Yantai Peak for ten years, which was far from the luxurious life before.And when they come out ten years later, how will they integrate into this drastically changing world?

"Let's just get by, and the Kyushu Army provided us with books and private schools, and provided us with new learning. We still have one day a month to go down the mountain to contact the outside world. Even if we leave here ten years later, we should still be civilians." Zheng Bing Such an older generation of rulers is still very open-minded about many things, but they don't have as much sense of gap as their subordinates.

"I would like to trouble you, soldiers, to take us to the library." Ruan Fuxi was very interested in the library in the middle of the village, because the soldiers of Yantai Peak clearly stated that there was a secret of the strength of the Kyushu Army in it—they didn't understand of new knowledge.

"Anyone who is interested can come with me." The soldiers of Yantai Peak were quite polite to them.

In the middle of the village, there is a wooden house that is larger than ordinary houses, which is the library.There were two soldiers guarding them, and they nodded slightly when they saw the person coming.

Just at this time, a man in green shirt in his early 20s came out of the library and met the Yantai Peak soldiers who led the An Nanguo captives, so he came over: "Xu Bingtou, you came just in time, I want to go to Jinzhou in two days City Academy of Sciences, I hope you arrange soldiers to monitor me."

"Mr. Zhu, I'll make arrangements later," said the Yantai Peak soldier known as Xu Bingtou.

"It's time to work." The man in the green shirt leaned slightly, and then left again.

"This man is young, but has an extraordinary temperament. Who is he? He also seems to be a sinner, but how can he leave here at any time?" Zheng Bing and Ruan Fuxi asked in puzzlement. This prisoner felt that his status was higher than theirs. Much taller.

"His background may scare you, this person is the former Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty."
