"Why don't we kill the prisoners? Why do we still treat the wounded? There must be a reason for this, not only is killing the prisoners harmful to the peace of nature and detrimental to our future cause, but on the other hand, this is also a psychological war without gunpowder..."

"Brothers, let me ask you a heart-wrenching word, if you say that if a relative in the family dies early, will you be sad? How long can you grieve?"

Xiao Hexin's question made everyone confused, and they shook their heads in amazement, but this was the effect Xiao Hexin wanted, he suddenly lowered his voice and said.

"I don't understand, then let me change the question, if you have a serious patient who is bedridden all the year round, and the disabled person who is alive and has no ability to live, may I ask you that your grief is more than the death of a loved one?"

A sentence lit up in the heads of many people like a bolt of lightning, and a very bold idea came to life.

"Could it be that the prime minister wants to use wounded soldiers to hit the morale of the Eight Banners?"

Xiao Hexin was happy all of a sudden, and nodded, "Death is actually not terrible, the most terrible thing is that you can't die if you want to, and you can't live well if you want to...... People say that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, you think about it, even the biological son who has been serving his parents for many years will not be able to stand the complaint, let alone the inconsequential distant relatives. ”

"The Eight Banners are originally a bandit group, and this collective has the obligation to feed the disabled Eight Banners soldiers, which is also the cornerstone of their cohesion, how should we break this cornerstone?"

"By the way, it depends on our benevolence and righteousness...... Let's go and save people now, give these seriously wounded to the Tartar Emperor, let him have a headache, and spend money in vain to raise it, and if you don't raise it, you will be scolded......"

"It doesn't matter if there are ten or eight, they can endure it by hundreds or thousands, but what if we send them 180,000 crippled Eight Banner soldiers? They can't afford to raise them...... As long as they can't afford to raise them, these 180,000 disabled soldiers will have to scold their mothers, and they will have to disturb the morale of their Eight Banners......"

"What's more, they have been killed by us now, and if you let them go back, they will be our countless volunteer propagandists, and they will tremble at the mention of the name of our new army...... And they will also pass this fear on to everyone around them, so that all the Manchurian Han people in the world know how strong our new army really is..."

Xiao Hexin said that when he was excited, the crutch wrapped in a brass head smashed into the stone slab, and a spark appeared, "Silly boys, do you understand this time? Our new army is an army with brains, and it is not enough to kill people, and I will learn to kill people in the future..."

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't you save people......"

This time, everyone had an epiphany, although some elm heads were still unenlightened, but they at least knew what it meant to follow the crowd and lift up the corpse with the people around them.

Liu Lang had nothing to say at this time, the truth that Xiao Hexin said just now was something he had never thought of at all, and his words were like chewing an olive, and his mouth was full of spicy and strange taste.

"How can you still fight like this? Are these things really taught to you by Xiao Letian?" Liu Lang muttered to himself.

Xiao Hexin didn't have the slightest respect this time, his eyes were like electricity, he stared at the old chief like electricity, and said calmly, "Old general, you are already old, and your thinking has long been unable to keep up with the trend of the times, and the future belongs to the prime minister...... I know you didn't convince the prime minister very much from the beginning, because you have seen the prime minister when he is down......"

"Yes, people are like this, back then your knife was on his neck, and the prime minister's life was not as good as a chicken in your hands, so you feel that you have a psychological advantage, you will feel that the prime minister actually doesn't matter, you will even blow it out after drinking, how did you do it back then, and how did Xiao Letian do it back then......"

"Don't base your feelings of success on this comparison, the consequence of this will make everyone more away from you... You don't understand, you don't know what we've been through this halfway around the world...... The vast sea, the endless desert, the ancient city left over for thousands of years, the ancient castle on the cliff on the coast......"

"When I crossed Malacca, I could even hear the horn of the Three Treasure Eunuchs when they went to the West, and when we passed through the Mediterranean, we heard about the glory of ancient Egyptian civilization BC, and we even looked at the Indian continent on the deck, where is the place where Tang monks learned scriptures......"

This is the first time that Xiao Hexin looked at the old general who he had admired extremely much with pity, and he sighed and said, "Why do you think the prince wants to stay in Europa? That's because the prince has seen how big this world is, he has already been shocked by this earth, and his heart has been extremely broadened......

"It's ridiculous... Amusing...... Pathetic... Lamentable...... After this expedition, I realized that the first half of my life was a frog sitting in a well and watching the sky, our prime minister, who tore open the narrowness in our hearts with his own hands, although the blood was drenched, although the pain was incomparable, we had no regrets..."

"Old general, there are only two paths in front of you, one is to follow Cheng Xiangxiang sincerely, abandon the past to study, and go to a new life. And the other way is retirement, I believe that the prime minister will give you a huge fortune, enough for you to eat and drink for three generations......"

"That's all I have to say, please let the old general choose for himself... You don't have to take the command of these green battalion soldiers......" said and walked away.

Liu Lang, the bandit who threatened to cook Xiao Letian in Taihang Mountain, this veteran left over from the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, had fallen into deep contemplation at this moment.

At that moment, he only had one feeling, a sense of strangeness to the world, especially what Xiao Hexin had seen and heard in the expedition he had just told him, the ruins of those ancient civilizations, and the vast natural landscapes, all of which deeply shocked him.

Liu Lang knew that these former subordinates had completely left him, and the past command could no longer interfere with them, and he was afraid that he would never have a chance to vent his disbelief in Xiao Letian in his heart.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Lang shouted at Xiao Hexin, "Is there no third way......

"If you want a third way, then go to the prime minister to go......" Xiao Hexin didn't even reply.

Just when Liu Lang was debating whether to bow to Xiao Letian, on the Wave Crusher on the sea, Xiao Letian on the stern of the ship was frowning and looking at the swaying battery, closing his lips and saying nothing.

At this time, a tall foreigner walked from behind him, carrying a bottle of wine in his hand, walked up to Xiao Letian, took a sip, and handed it to Xiao Letian.

"Okay, you Pierre, and you steal wine and drink?How did Fang Guan give you three chapters of the law? It's not like words......" Xiao Lotian took the wine bottle in Pierre's hand, raised his head and took a sip.

"Oh, dear Mr. Prime Minister, you can't do this to a hero, don't forget that I helped you push the blues, and it was because of my judgment that you set sail a day early, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to catch up with this war......"

"I'm a brain worker and need a drink to help me relax my nerves, but don't worry I'm not going to drink anymore because I've found my ...... career"

Xiao Lotian smiled and didn't speak, he was indeed convinced by Pierre's admiration, this demon-like man, his head was like a supercomputer, and it was expected that he relied on wits to analyze intelligence, let alone use probability to calculate.

After this guy entered the South China Sea, from the moment he received the most detailed information in East Asia, he locked himself in the cabin and kept analyzing and calculating, until he entered the Ryukyus and got more information, he began to arrange and combine black and white, and began to screen and reorganize.

He deduced the future possibilities one by one, and then used probability to analyze them, to calculate the probability of such possibility, and then selected the most probable among the countless possibilities and submitted them to the chief for analysis.

It was with his efforts that Xiao Lotian knew that after General Bruce withdrew from the army, 30% of them might go to Shanghai, 55% of them might go to Hong Kong, and there was a possibility that 75% of them would be divided, because the pride of the French would not allow such a fiasco, and they were very likely to go to trouble the Qing Dynasty, especially Tanggu.

When Xiao Lotian heard this information, he was frightened into a cold sweat, Tanggu is still very weak now, if the French warships go to disrupt the situation, it will be dangerous, hurry up and set off a day in advance, that is, the 24-hour preemption, which can be regarded as saving the precarious war situation.

The wine is a good wine, there is not too much sourness in one sip, but it is full of attractive fruity aroma, Pierre is a knowledgeable person, this time he returned to China and selected top wines, anyway, Xiao Lotian has money and does not spend it in vain.

"Thank you very much this time, although I said that I paid you a high salary, but after all, this is a life-saving thing, and your hard work is exchanged for thousands of lives...... Well done..."

Pierre didn't answer the subject, in his heart it was natural to engage in intelligence work, and his own analysis could bring victory and save people, which was enough.

"Prime Minister, the fort should be full of soldiers who have surrendered to you, why don't you go and see it for yourself......?

"Haha, what do you know, the work on there is not clean, it's all a trick... I can't always operate these tricks myself, right? The apprentices have matured, so they should be on their own......"

Just when the two were leisurely drinking and chatting, suddenly there was a tsunami-like shouting from the west of Tanggu City, which was mixed with the sound of sudden heavy machine gun fire, and the fire on the west side of the entire Tanggu City suddenly burst out, and half of the sky was reflected red.

"Well done, look...... Our new army has crossed the river...... Hurry up, let's lift anchor and enter the Haihe River...... Shelling Mellor, we're going to support them...... Send a signal to Tanggu, and all the pilots will bring me to the boat..."
