Chapter 768 is eaten by the enemy
Lingmu City, thousands of cavalry led the team out of the city gate, and then scattered and marched to the southwest, they were the third group of sentinels, and there were already tens of thousands of people in front of them, opening their eyes for the army.
Behind them, a column of monks slowly drove out, and after a few days of rest, Lin Xiao led an army of one and a half million to enter under Shenmu City.
The four gates were continuous, and it took a full day to bring out more than a million people, and the procession stretched for hundreds of miles, and the sky was full of vigilant monks staring at the front and back of the procession.
"Tan Daoyou, Lingmu City will be handed over to you, this is the most important rear of the army, you must guard it"
"Lord Lin can rest assured, people are in the city"
"Okay, then I'm leaving"
Tan Minghua saw off Lin Xiao and the others at the gate of the city, Lin Xiao gave a wordy instruction, and then left and flew to the front of the team.
Tan Minghua waited until Lin Xiao and the others left, and then convened a meeting of several henchmen, Lingmu City is still extremely important to the army of Nanzhou, this is not only the retreat of the army, but also the transfer center of materials.
"The first thing, repair the fortifications, build a war fortress, before the Lingmu City fell too fast, the loss of fortifications and the like is very small, but not enough, we want to turn the entire Lingmu City into a huge fortress, even if it is in the city, there are countless fortifications, there are more than 10,000 new prisoners in the city, these captives are all requisitioned to do coolies, this project, I ask to be completed within a month.
The second thing is about the reserve of materials, the next war will be more and more difficult to fight, the Immortal Alliance is speeding up the clearing of the wall, the enemy we face in the future will be a large-scale enemy, the harvest will be less, the consumption will increase, and the transportation from Nanzhou is not only far away, but also extremely dangerous, the consumption is too great, so we must eat the enemy, Lingmu City is our big rear.
The third thing is about purging the remnants of the enemy, although the monks of Lingmu City were defeated by us, they could not kill much, and for Lingmu City, they must ······."
Tan Minghua said his many measures at the meeting, Tan Minghua is also the high-level of Tianyue Sect, the boss in charge alone, he followed Lin Xiao to do things before, and the light was covered by Lin Xiao, in fact, his ability is not low, and at this time, the ruling party is naturally going to make some political achievements.
Outside Lingmu City, a group of thousands of Nanzhou people rushed into a spiritual mountain, and most of the monks in the spiritual mountain were gone, leaving only a few old and weak monks to take care of the house, as well as some mortals.
There are thousands of acres of spiritual fields on the mountain, and the precious elixir and spiritual wood in the spiritual field have been taken away, but some low-level elixir spiritual rice and the like have not been destroyed or harvested.
These are all their own fortunate and hard-working cultivation, and they are also their biggest source of income, they also think that the Shenmu Sect will not be defeated, and it will be fought back soon, if it is destroyed, what will happen to their livelihood in the future, there are many small forces with this attitude.
After the Nanzhou monk found out about this matter, he quickly reported it, and Tan Minglun immediately sent a team of men and horses to loot these things, for the army, high-level spiritual objects are precious, but low-level things are the most consumed.
A few old and weak monks naturally couldn't stop the army, and the Nanzhou monks didn't even kill them, but just knocked them unconscious, and then thousands of people turned into coolies and began to harvest spiritual rice.
After harvesting the things in the spiritual field on the mountain, they went to the next spiritual mountain, there were spies in front of them to reconnoitre, and they all knew where there were things left.
Three thousand miles away, in a Xuanjing mine, there were corpses scattered everywhere, and the monks who rushed out of Lingmu City entered here to support, but they didn't stop the footsteps of the Nanzhou army, Bai Zichen led the team to break through here, and the remnants of the enemy had been cleared in a few days.
"Bai Zichen, these are the miners, they are all loose cultivators recruited by the Shenmu Sect, they have been checked several times, the people and horses of the Shenmu Sect have been cleaned up, what are you going to do?"
"It's all a bunch of bitter haha, it's useless to kill, tell them that not only will we not kill them, but we will continue to hire them, and guarantee that the treatment is better than that of the Shenmu Sect, go find a few disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect, let them study a set of incentives, and in the future, the treatment in the mine will adopt incentives, the more you do, the more you get"
"Bai Zichen, are you going to run here?
"I didn't say that I could apply, the head of my family is not a pedantic person, we dig up one more Xuanjing from the enemy, and the enemy will be less threatening to us, which is called eating the enemy, I will do the things I apply for, and you will assist me."
Bai Zichen replied, he was extremely familiar with Lin Xiao, as long as there was a reason for the incident and there was a full reason, Lin Xiao would not object, and he could let you do it, so he would never waste this mine in vain.
Tan Minglun had nothing to say, Lin Xiao was the head of the Heavenly Saint Sect, so he naturally favored Bai Zichen, this is the benefit of having someone above, since Bai Zichen wants to do it, just let him go.
Several disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect quickly gathered, as for the incentives, they were quickly done, they checked the previous production records of this Xuanjing Mine, and knew where the level was, take one of the values, and if it exceeds this value, there will be a reward, no upper limit, the more you do, the more you take, and if it is below a certain level, you will get out of the way, and as for the rest of the rules, everything will be as usual.
Bai Zichen's approach made tens of thousands of miners suddenly overjoyed, and their panic quickly settled down, they were not interested in the war between the Immortal Alliance and the Five Continents Alliance, they didn't pay attention at all, they were just the lowest level of the immortal cultivation world, they had no long skills, they could only be reduced to coolies, and now the people in Nanzhou were treated better than the Shenmu Sect, and they were still working.
However, these tens of thousands of people obviously can't satisfy Bai Zichen, they have three or four hundred thousand troops stationed here, and the productivity of tens of thousands of people is not enough for them to consume themselves, let alone support Lin Xiao.
Bai Zichen began to recruit mortal young people, and mortal young people need more things to work, and it would be too much loss if they were given to Xuanjing, so Bai Zichen sent some men and horses out to loot mortal materials.
However, Bai Zichen also emphasized that it is necessary to rob the big families among mortals, especially those who are full of evil and have something to do with the Shenmu Sect, this kind of thing is known casually.
And it is very simple to rob these big households, only a dozen monks can do it, and those big households will certainly have some immortal cultivators, and they are also the most unpromising ones at the lowest level, if they are powerful, they will not stay among mortals.
The 3,000 people were divided into 300 squads, and in three days they got back a huge amount of things, from food, cloth, gold and silver, jewelry, to all kinds of things.
Then Bai Zichen requisitioned 300,000 young men in one breath and entered the mine to mine, these mortals opened a number of mines alone, and the management was also managed by the mortals themselves, he just sent 300 people to be supervisors and guards.
Bai Zichen's approach was extremely simple and rude, he divided these young men into countless teams, and then went to check the workload of the immortal cultivators and miners, set a goal for mortals with a five-percent discount, and did it rewarding food, cloth, livestock, tools, and money at will, and he was extremely generous, if he couldn't do it, the leader would be killed on the spot, no matter what reason you had, anyway, he just needed to see Xuanjing.
Bai Zichen's approach made Tan Minglun smack, he really couldn't understand the habits of the Heavenly Saint Sect, sometimes he was extremely delicate when he did things, and he couldn't even have a flaw, but sometimes he was too rough, just like looking for mortals to mine, he was given a batch of tools, a goal, and he didn't care about anything, could this work?
The result is naturally feasible, there is no difference between mortals and the immortal cultivation world in human nature, Bai Zichen gives extremely generous treatment, they will only see those good things, and subconsciously forget the risks, these things are too tempting for them, so a lot of leaders emerged overnight, formed a team of miners, and went to the mine with simple tools.
A few days later, the ore dug up by the first batch of miners also reached Bai Zichen's goal, and their respective finances were rewarded according to the regulations, which was enough to make the rest of the mortals red-eyed, and the whole mood was mobilized.
"The head of my family said that it is not difficult to manage a place, you just need to be fair and just, and you must do what you say, as for how to formulate a reasonable policy, it is all later, if you want others to trust you, he will die for you, you must know how to delegate power and give him autonomy"
"Teachable"
"Now that you have been taught, let's continue, the Xuanjing Mine has to increase the number of people, and there are also the rest of the mines on the territory of the Shenmu Sect, Lingshan, I'll go and fight it, you can follow and operate, just copy the model here."
Bai Zichen said to Tan Minglun that one Xuanjing mine could not satisfy his appetite, and there were still many Lingshan mines in other places, some were stationed, some were not stationed, and Bai Zichen had to fight down.
There are still nearly three million people in the Nanzhou army, half of which Lin Xiao has taken away, there are still 200,000 in Lingmu City, and there are more than one million people outside, all of whom are led by Bai Zichen.
Bai Zichen continued to gather people and horses, gathered large armies, and then began to sweep the territory of the Shenmu Sect, there are still a large number of scattered monks of the Shenmu Sect on these territories, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are fighting on their own, they are a group of rabble, they are not at all against Bai Zichen, and one after another Lingshan mines have fallen continuously.
Tan Minglun presided over the operation in the rear, he adopted the model of the Xuanjing Mine, the Nanzhou monks were only responsible for safety and supervision, the next goal, and then recruited people to complete it, the price they offered was one or two times that of the original Shenmu Sect, naturally there were many people who sought after and welcomed it, and there was no shortage of manpower at all.
In fact, this set is a colonial method, and those Western pioneers in Lin Xiao's previous life did this, defeating the local forces, supporting the faction that is close to them, and letting them be responsible for specific production, they only need to share the benefits with these leaders.
When these people taste the sweetness, they will naturally follow their hearts, and even if there are rebels, they will be more excited, and their willingness to suppress will be stronger, which is an extremely clever method.
