Turbulent Times Chapter 1247: An experiment on the human heart
Wang Junlin nodded, and said: "There are too many rebels, but their strength is limited, maybe we can't wipe them all out, but no matter how many of them come, our Fanyang County troops will never be killed." They beat."
"What the prince said is very true. I know that the soldiers trained by the prince are powerful." Xiong Kuohai nodded heavily, expressing his deep approval, because he thought he had trained an elite soldier that was not weaker than the soldiers of the imperial court. Against the same number of county soldiers in Fanyang County, the defeat was disastrous.
Wang Junlin took a deep look at Xiong Kuohai, and said: "Originally, I wanted to wait for you to make enough contributions, and after returning to Fanyang County, I would let you lead a battalion alone, but now I With new ideas."
"My lord, please tell me." Xiong Kuohai hurriedly cupped his fists and said respectfully.
Wang Junlin sighed and said: "Although you have been the leader of the Taihang Mountain bandits, but you were born in poverty, you should be well aware of the suffering of the people in troubled times. Now, except for my Fanyang County, there are rampant bandits all over the world, and people in miserable situations are everywhere. The world, and we not only want to save the people of Fanyang County from dying in vain, but also give hope to this troubled world.”
Xiong Kuohai's body shook, his eyes flickered, and his face became more respectful.
Wang Junlin continued: "I want you to continue to be a bandit."
Xiong Kuohai's eyes lit up immediately, and he could see that this guy still liked his old profession better, so he said immediately: "Does the lord want me to subdue the bandits and bandits in the counties of Henan, and then punish them?" Temperance, let them not harm the people?"
Wang Junlin nodded, then shook his head and said: "This is only one aspect. Now my Fanyang County is far away in a remote place in the East China Sea, and this land of Central Plains is the center of the world, but right now this land of Central Plains is more empty than before. , this is a good opportunity. I want to bury an elite soldier near Luoyang, the center of the Central Plains."
Xiong Kuohai said quietly: "My lord, please tell me, what should I do?"
"I'm telling you this idea now, just to let you plan in your own mind first. When the time is right these few days, I will give you enough manpower and property to let you leave quietly. How to do it, you take out a The plan, after I listen to it, I will discuss and make a decision." Wang Junlin rode the blood mane
Ma Qianxing said in a homely tone, he wanted to test whether Xiong Kuohai was up to the task, if not, he would consider replacing it with someone else.
Xiong Kuohai may not have thought so much, but he felt Wang Junlin's importance to him, and said excitedly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will start to think about how to do this matter now, and come up with a plan for him as soon as possible. "
…
Xiong Kuo Hai’s plan was submitted very quickly, and he came to Wang Junlin to report it the next day. Wang Junlin was satisfied after listening to it, and made certain adjustments, so he decided on a general strategy, but did not use specific plans. Yes, it takes improvisation.
The army continued to move forward on the second day. When they passed a mountain range, Wang Junlin learned from Shen Guoer that there were many bandits in the mountain. The cottage was destroyed, and at this time, Xiong Kuohai had already taken 300 elite soldiers, dressed as bandits, and left quietly for this mountain range.
After sending Xiong Kuohai away, Wang Junlin had other ideas. He ordered people to hire a thousand refugees like beggars to deliver food and grass to them and build camps.
The thousand civilians look no different from beggars. Wang Junlin asked Shen Guoer to choose two eloquent subordinates of the military intelligence government to lead them, and let these civilians enjoy the treatment of full food. All of them immediately cheered like New Year's Eve , Working desperately, many people even strongly demanded to fight against the rebels with the army of the Far East Governor's Office.
These people are really hungry.
Of course Wang Junlin would not bring a group of untrained civilians to fight together. On the third day, when he was still two hundred miles away from Liyang City, he sent the thousand civilians back.
The thousand people knelt down and begged to continue to do hard labor. Wang Junlin personally agreed with them to stay one more night and let them have another meal. Before leaving, Wang Junlin personally received the thousand people. The people, the people knew that this was the famous King Qin An, and bowed down in fear and gratitude. Perhaps because Wang Junlin gave them enough food, they didn't have much fear of Wang Junlin.
Unexpectedly, the legendary invincible poisonous general distributed labor fees to them, although each person was only half of the labor fee
Two silver coins, but this is the first time in the world that there is still money to be paid for contributing to the government, especially the army, and I am very grateful.
One thousand laborers reluctantly stood by the side of the road. After all the troops had passed by, they were still standing by the side of the road and looking around. Two people from the Military Intelligence Office arranged by Wang Junlin kept looking back at the laborers in the distance as they walked. , waving them to hurry home.
Wang Junlin rode slowly, and asked Shen Guoer beside him, "Guoer, how do you feel about this thousand labors?"
Shen Guoer pondered for a while, and said, "The prince wants to win the hearts of the people?"
Wang Junlin nodded, shook his head again, and said: "I want to do an experiment, now we have no shortage of money and food, I want to see what kind of results will be brought about if we sincerely treat the people well. "
Shen Guoer said with a complicated expression: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, and the simple people who have gone through the disaster of ruining their families may no longer be simple and kind people, but Guoer thinks what kind of people these refugees will become. People, but whoever treats them well, who gives them food and money to survive, they will definitely keep in mind, after all, what the prince gave them is likely to make them survive who would have starved to death. For example, if this thousand people, if Forcibly persecuted and not given money or food, they will still do things, but they will definitely not work as hard as they have in the past few days."
Wang Junlin nodded appreciatively, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about sympathy for the people, but talk about snobbery. In troubled times, money and food are important, but I think the most important thing is manpower, or People, with the means of our Fanyang County, as long as we have a lot of manpower, there will be inexhaustible food and silver, so we will accept and resettle refugees for a long time, but a Fanyang County is still too big. It's a little smaller, maybe taking advantage of the chaos to control some territory is the top priority after suppressing Yang Su's rebellion."
At this time, Shen Guo'er suddenly realized: "Guo'er understands that we actually didn't spend much money and food on these peasants, but their gratitude to the prince is no less than the grace of saving lives. I will naturally tell my neighbors when I go back, but with the current situation, this kind of thing spreads very quickly, and soon the people in the world will know how much the prince cares for the people."
