**In "Water Margin", Lin Chong, Wu Song, Song Jiang and others were almost all exiled to remote places for various crimes. In order to prevent them from escaping on the road, the imperial court also arranged itEscorted by a special personArrive at your destination.
Of course, because of the needs of the **plot, most of these people in charge of escorting ** were required to kill the prisoners on the way, but they were all ruthless in the endCounter-killing.
In fact, ** depicted in itEscort sceneIt is indeed true in the history of feudal dynasties in our country. After all, if a certain ** is put thousands of miles away, if there is no escort to take care of the whole process, these prisoners are likely to go halfwayRunawayFinish. Even if you want to find it, it's hard to get it back.
But what makes people wonder is that this kind of errand is very much felt just by hearing about itHard,But why did the ancient officials want it?Rush to do itWhat about it?
You must know that the ancient first-class put back and forth is thousands of miles away, and in the absence of any modern means of transportation, this distance can definitely be used".horror".Two words to describe it.
Before understanding this problem, we should first look at what the work status of the officials is like. As in modern society, officials have a fixed time to go to and from work every day. To put it simply, the ancient government officials actually wereAncient "social animals".representatives.
Even if there is no problem with local security, the officials need to be in the government officeStanding guard on duty,Wait for the relevant things to be processed. Like many costume TV series today, there are some officials"Chic".In fact, the scenario is not realistic at all.
And once there is a mistake in the work due to some reason, and the boss happens to have a bad temper, the official has to do thisAngry and scolded。Want to complain and whine?Sorry, it's better to be directquit your job and go home to farm, or find another way to make a livingOtherwise, if the boss wants to put on small shoes for the officials, it is far easier than people think.
That's right"The official level crushes people to death"., in fact, it is the ** staff of this class. After all, it is really above the courtThe forces are intricate, and everyone has their own bigwig backers behind them, and their interests are closely linked to each other. Only these low-level "civil servants" basically have nothingThe right to speak.
Once able to escort the prisoner to a remote area, on the wayStop-and-goIt's all up to you, so why not?More importantly, because the exile is so far away, how long will it takeTimeIt is entirely up to the officials themselves to complete this journey.
Publicly-funded toursThese four words are not only extremely attractive to modern people, but also to repetitionMechanical lifeThe same is true of the ancients.
In addition, when escorting prisoners to a certain place in ancient times, there was actually an unspoken rule that everyone knew that the family and friends of the exiled prisoners would definitely find a wayBriberyOfficials, let them take care of the prisoners as much as possible on the road. On that note,"Water Margin".It is also clearly described.
To know the shackles and shackles on the bodies of ancient prisoners,It can be as light as 20 catties and as heavy as 50 catties. As long as anyone who has watched relevant film and television works can imagine that such a heavy shackle is on himself, and he has to walk continuouslyThousands of miles, it is very likely that something will happen on the road.
Therefore, the prisoner's family will give benefits, which is nothing more than for the officials to secretlyReduced weightAnd when resting along the road, it is best to remove the shackles, leaving only the handcuffs and anklets to ensure that the prisoner does not escape. You can also get a lot of tips for publicly-funded travel, who doesn't want to go for such a good thing?
As for why she chose to be more active when women were released, the answer is actually very simple.
Compared to male prisoners, female prisonersThe threat is clearly less. When many vicious bandits were exiled and escorted, once they let their accomplices who had not yet been arrested know, they would inevitably be on their wayInterceptionServants. Therefore, unless they "say hello" in advance, the officials are more willing to escort some female prisoners.
In this way, even if someone really comes to kidnap the prisoner, the officials can take the prisoner as soon as possibleControl, deterrenceLive some daring thieves.
Of course, some people may think that what if the other party is rushing to kill people?If all the prisoners and officials are killed, who is afraid of any threat?
In fact, will be a prisonerKill people and kill peopleThings do exist, but if there are such things, most of them are made by officialsFix it yourself。To give a simple example, the late Northern Song Dynasty was famous"One of the Six Thieves".ofWang Huang, was killed by Kaifeng Mansion Yin during the escort. And the two officials in charge of escorting are exactly one of the best.
After the incident, the government not only did not make any trouble for them, but even gave them a special sum"Hush money".。The officials were also willing to accept such an escort. When the turmoil gradually subsided, the officials slowly returned to their original office as errands, as if nothing had happened.
