Chapter 36: Ma's Five Virtues

Is the surrender reliable?

Zhao Ming didn't believe in surrendering troops in his heart, which was also the sequelae of his crossing.

In ancient times, it was normal to incorporate troops into the army. But Zhao Ming just couldn't turn the corner, and he always felt that the surrender was unbelievable.

After hearing Zhao Ming express his disbelief in surrendering, everyone understood in their hearts that it was no wonder that Zhao Ming did not incorporate those surrendered domestic slaves into the army last time, it turned out that he had this pimple in his heart.

Fan Zeng said: "Dare to ask the king how many young people I have in Longxi?" ”

Zhao Ming replied: "Less than 100,000." ”

Fan Zeng said: "100,000 young people, even if they are all incorporated into the army, can they do great things?" Can it win the world? Since the king has the world in his heart, how can he not tolerate these people who have their hearts set on the king? ”

Zhao Ming thought to himself: Yes, he can't even tolerate the surrender of troops, how can he tolerate the world? Only then did he realize that he had a problem, and the thoughts of later generations always felt that the person who surrendered was humble and unreliable. This time it's finally a little bit similar, whether these soldiers are domestic slaves or Hu Qiang, they are just the lowest little people, and in the hearts of the soldiers, loyalty is actually very cheap. In that era when there was no ideological education, the purpose of being a soldier was to eat the emperor's food.

Of course, there are also many armies like "Yue's Army", which have a strong sense of honor after a hundred battles, and have their own army ideas.

Of course, this is a minority, and most of them have lost the battle and surrendered to seek a way to live, so how can there be any shame? Shame is only tied to the generals who led them to defeat the battle. Do you still want to force everyone to be martyrs, and they can't fight to the death?

What's more, whether he can make good use of the troops and train them into elite warriors in a hundred battles, whether he has a sense of honor and loyalty in the army is not something that he Zhao Ming should worry about at all. It's Yue Fei, Yang Ye, and other generals.

Zhao Ming finally figured it out, Longxi will have countless battles to fight in the future, and countless soldiers will have to die, without these surrenders, can it really be cleaned up with the 100,000 young men in Longxi?

After figuring it out, Zhao Ming nodded and said: "This matter is feasible, however, in terms of candidates, then Du Jue may not be able to catch it." When the other person is the main one, it is most appropriate for Du Jue, who is familiar with this place, to sit here. ”

The crowd nodded in goodness.

Seeing Du Jue, Zhao Ming knew that this was his diehard, so he immediately didn't talk nonsense, and directly told Du Jue his thoughts.

Sure enough, Du Jue had no objection to Zhao Ming occupying his territory and taking him as his subordinate without authorization, and only said: "The king, after this time, these sons and daughters under the ministers are not reliable, and the king wants to do great things here, and he is only worried that his subordinates will harm the king." ”

Indeed, there are more than 800 people under Du Jue's command, Qiang, Han, dragons and snakes are mixed, they are used to being horse bandits, they are very selfish, and they have been at ease for a long time and are difficult to restrain them, not to mention that it is difficult to live in peace with those surrendered soldiers.

Zhao Ming asked directly: "In your opinion, how should these horses be arranged?" ”

Du Jue thought for a while and said: "After the breakup, we will be satisfied with the armies, as long as these people do not gather in the crowd, there will be no big trouble." ”

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "It's just a pity that these eight hundred cavalry." ”

These 800 people were born horse bandits, and they were the best at riding and shooting, and they were not weaker than the Qiang people.

Gut was surrounded in the valley for three days, and the grain and grass were cut off, and one suggested that the horse be killed, and another immediately said, "Not to the king." Now we can fight to the death, and if we kill the horses, we will all die without a place to bury. ”

Desperate to the death?

Gu Te said angrily: "How to fight to the death, and just walk to the valley mouth and be shot back by ten thousand arrows?" ”

Everyone was in a state of annoyance, when someone suddenly came to report that the Han army wanted to negotiate with them.

Gu Te was overjoyed when he heard this, but he heard someone shouting: "Your Majesty, the Han people are treacherous, be careful of deceit." ”

Another said, "Fraud? We don't need the Han people to deceive us, and the Han people want to negotiate, but they just want to lure them down. ”

Gu Te thought about it, indeed, now they still have something worthy of negotiation with the Han people, that is, their bravery, the Han people just want to let themselves surrender to help them fight, and now there is only one way to survive by surrendering, and after surrendering, they will find a way to escape.

Gu Te also simply, he said that he would surrender, and immediately asked people to put down their weapons and run to Zhao Ming's camp to plead guilty.

Zhao Ming looked at this big man who was more than seven feet tall (more than two meters), this was the first time he had seen a foreign race in this world, although there were many Qiang and Han mixed blood in Longxi, but basically there was no difference.

It's weird.

Zhao Ming was surprised in his heart, it is said that there will definitely be a difference between the appearance of the Qiang and the Han people, how can this person be completely different except for being darker, and then think of the captives he captured a few days ago, they are exactly the same as the Han people, they are all yellow-skinned and black-eyed, standard yellow people.

Is this also the peculiarity of this world?

It can't be that even the people in that place in the Western Regions are also yellow, right?

At this time, Zhao Ming couldn't help but think about it, retracted his thoughts, and Zhao Ming asked, "You are the king of this Qiang tribe?" ”

Gu Te's heart was apprehensive, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and replied: "Xiaomin is." ”

Zhao Ming asked again, "How many people are there in the valley?" ”

Gut replied, "There are more than three thousand eight hundred men, including two thousand cavalry. ”

Zhao Ming said: "Are you really willing to surrender?" ”

Gute said: "Xiaomin is willing. ”

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "In this way, you can go back and continue to be your king,"

When Gu Te heard this, he was overjoyed, but he heard Zhao Ming say again: "However, the people in the valley must stay." And if there is one less man, go back and bring the family of the man in the valley, and within half a month, if there is no shortage of the family, you can go back and be your king, and if there is one less, the three thousand eight hundred people in the valley, including you, will be punished. ”

Gu Te's heart was bitter, and he said in his heart: Without this army of soldiers and horses and their families, he will go back to be a king of wool, and the rest of the tribe will be old, weak, sick and disabled, so he can only defect to others first, and then try to make a comeback.

I heard Zhao Ming say again: "You can rest assured, the Lone King will not let you fall into death, the people in the valley, you can choose three hundred to go back with you." ”

This last sentence was thought of by Zhao Ming temporarily. Gute is the king, and there will be his cronies and dead soldiers in the valley, so instead of keeping these people to cause trouble for himself, it is better to be generous and let them go together.

Don't be in vain, Gu Te thought to himself that he really wanted to go back alone, this position on the king didn't need outsiders to push, and his own people might kill him. Although there are not many people of 300, they are all warriors who follow themselves and are enough to stabilize their position.

Thinking of this, Gute asked, "Is what the king said true?" ”

Zhao Ming said: "The lonely king is the king of martial arts, the king of martial arts in the world, not the grass king of the tribe of tens of thousands of people, you naturally count when you speak, remember, within half a month, in addition to the three hundred people you took away, you must not lose one person's family, otherwise, you will die." ”

Half a month later, a team came to the north of Di Dao, six or seven thousand people, old and young, Zhao Ming received this group of men and horses, and immediately released Gu Te and his three hundred warriors, but there were no horses, no weapons, and they were sent on the road with a few days of dry food.

In the Hungry Tiger Valley, Zhao Ming arranged for this Qiang army to meet with their families, and then gathered them together, and ideological education still had to be carried out.

I saw Zhao Ming take the stage and say: "In the heart of the lonely king, those who speak Chinese, learn Chinese characters, respect Chinese laws, understand Chinese etiquette, and fight for the Han are Han people." If you do these five points, no matter which clan the Lone King recognizes that he is a Han, if you can't do these five points, no matter whether he was a Han or not, the Lone King will not recognize his Han identity. From now on, the people you are waiting for are the people of the lonely king, and the lonely king will divide the fields and houses among them, teach them to farm, teach them to read, and the lonely king will ensure that they are well fed and warmly clothed, and they no longer need to drink blood like the grass on the grassland, and they will be frightened......"

After talking a lot of nonsense, Zhao Ming looked down, it seemed that it still had some effect, at least it could make the troops relax temporarily.

Before collecting troops and returning to Longxi, Zhao Ming ordered Yang Zaixing to be the main general, and Du Jue to lead 3,000 Hu cavalry to stay in the Hungry Tiger Valley as a deputy general. Hu cavalry originally had two thousand, and Zhao Ming handed over the original war horses of Hungry Tiger Valley and the war horses captured in this battle to Yang Zaixing, and asked him to command these three thousand cavalry, they are all Qiang Hu, and it is a waste not to be a cavalry.

There are also five hundred Hu soldiers who are old and weak, and Zhao Ming directly threw them to Ren Bing and Ren Tanghui to raise horses. The rest of the Hu family is small, Zhao Ming has already notified Lin Xiangru to take over, the construction of the new city is exactly when people are needed, although most of these are old and weak, but it is still possible to push a cart and drive a horse to transport things.

Zhao Ming promised them that after the new city was built, they would have their houses and fields, and they would be exempted from taxes for another three years. This is the treatment for all those involved in the construction of the city.

After that, it was the return of the army, Zhao Ming was a little disappointed again, he always thought that he could fight a battle, but unfortunately this time it was solved without blood, Zhao Ming sighed, he didn't know when he could.

The three armies pulled up, and Zhao Ming suddenly heard the system prompt "Didi ......"

Could it be that you are rewarded for completing the task?

I only heard the system say: "Didi...... The routine lottery system is opened, and the host official: King Wu, can randomly draw historical figures every three months, and the host can continue to draw today. ”

It's been three months!

Zhao Ming sighed a little, the last routine lottery drew Chen Lin, who was not painful or itchy, and the effect was not big, but it was not small, and he was the master in the house.

"Extract."

It's better to have another civil official this time, Zhao Ming secretly prayed.

"Didi...... Congratulations to the host for the outbreak of the three kingdoms Jingzhou Ma's. ”

No way! With such good luck, it won't be "Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best".

"Didi...... Character generation, please later. ”

"Didi...... After the character is generated, the host can be queried in the panel. ”

Ma Liang: Domination 41, Armed Forces 61, Intelligence 80, Politics 92, Charisma 90, Age 25, Identity: Ma Qingqing's nephew.

Ma Tan: Domination 52, Armed Forces 67, Intelligence 92, Politics 81, Charisma 73, Age 18, Identity: Ma Qingqing's nephew.

was born into a mother's clan, but ......

"Ma's five constants, the best white eyebrows, five brothers, and famous, why only two came?" Zhao Ming asked a little greedily.

"Didi...... The other Ma brothers did not have any records, so naturally they could not appear.
