Chapter 133: Gathering the Hearts of the People
The letters of the Ming Dynasty made the people in the city relax, but the voice of criticizing the management of the Northern Yuan Dynasty never stopped, these people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty could not imagine that their government was not as diligent as the invaders in their eyes, the Ming Dynasty considered their crops and livestock, but the Northern Yuan did not do it, they hoped that their government could also consider their people, but unfortunately, they thought too much, the government of the Northern Yuan only cared about whether they could defend the city, but ignored the importance of public opinion.
"Brother Xian, won't this increase the workload of our Da Ming?" Zhu Di was a little puzzled, he couldn't understand why he wanted to help the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to grow crops and herd livestock, this was not what they should do.
"This is also a way to grasp people's hearts, think about it, we did it, Beiyuan didn't do it, which side will the people's hearts lean? Don't look at the fact that most of the people don't have too many objections to the change of leadership, when the time comes, the people's will will be with us, and it will also be good for the war! Ma Sanbao opened his mouth and said, he knew that as long as he held the hearts and public opinion of the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, even if he had not yet started the war, he would have won the favor of the people of this city, and it would be easier to manage at that time.
"Only virtuous and virtuous, can obey others! This was Liu Bei's means of governing the country at the beginning. Ma Sanbao said, since he is called the reincarnation of Zhuge , then implement the Three Kingdoms to the end, and do a full set, he pretended to be old-fashioned, which made Zhu Di a little dumbfounded, Zhu Di couldn't have imagined that no matter how much Ma Sanbao likes to manipulate public opinion and people's hearts, he will put the same effort into this battle.
"Brother Xian is really comprehensive enough, and his observation is really meticulous!" Zhu Di was deeply impressed by the children in front of him, from childhood to adulthood, he also likes to inspect the people's feelings, and it is difficult to do such details as Ma Sanbao, Ma Sanbao's meticulous observation and improvement, beyond Zhu Di's imagination, Zhu Di never thought of Ma Sanbaoquan has thought of it, maybe this is the problem of ideological limitations, Ma Sanbao is in modern society, and it is naturally easy to complete the tasks of the Ming Dynasty with the ideas of modern society.
Ma Sanbao didn't want to accept Zhu Di's praise, which was something that could be thought of casually in his time, probably because he had been influenced by socialism, and he didn't want to suffer the lives of the common people, after all, he was a soldier at the beginning, and the purpose of a soldier was to serve the people.
In the city, the peasants have a lot of land, the land of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is different from the Ming Dynasty, this city is one of the few without landlords, most of the land is cultivated by this group of people themselves and passed down from generation to generation, cultivating generations of people, this moat is also the mother river of the people, most of the land is dependent on this moat for irrigation.
"Strategist, we are here to fight, how did we become crops!" The soldiers looked at Ma Sanbao helplessly, and couldn't help but recall the days before they joined the army, most of them were like Zhu Yuanzhang, ordinary people, and farmers who started growing crops.
"No way, for the sake of the people's tongues, we must make some efforts, Beiyuan does not treat them well, we treat them well, at least we make up for the loss of blowing up the bridge." Ma Sanbao said that not far away is the wreckage of the bridge, a good bridge, can no longer carry any people or horses across the river, this bridge has become the worst victim, the bridge should have undertaken the task has ended.
On the city wall, the people who have good things want to see if the Ming army will abide by their agreement to go to the farmland to farm, in their sight, they saw the Ming soldiers who went to the farmland to cultivate, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty seemed to live a life of disarming and returning to the field, there was no tension at all, they cultivated carefully, for fear of destroying the fields and crops of these people, which is the living material of the people.
At the end of the day, it was dark, this group of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could be described as a sore back, how could they never imagine that they would spend most of the day doing farm work, whether it was hoeing or irrigation, it took a lot of time, this is not a modern society, there is no machinery to help with farm work, every step requires manpower, Ma Sanbao saw it in his eyes, sighed in his heart, science and technology did help a lot of farmers to a certain extent, Daming's pure labor is indeed too laborious, even he can't help but go to the field to do some farm workNow his little arms and calves are still a little sore, after all, his body is still a child, and no matter how much he exercises, he can't do farm work for a long time.
Seeing that the Ming soldiers who called it a day after dark, the people who were watching on the city wall were even a little moved in their hearts, and they couldn't help but criticize the inaction of the Beiyuan government, the Beiyuan government would not do this kind of work, even if it was just pretending, the Beiyuan government and the Beiyuan officials could not do it.
For a time, the people did not think that the Ming Dynasty was in the false benevolence and false righteousness, the false benevolence and false righteousness can really do practical things, but not the real false benevolence and false righteousness, for a while, in the city, the voice of scolding the Northern Yuan was one-sided, and the hearts of the people were all put on the Ming Dynasty, this time the cultivation won a large wave of praise, it can be described as a rave reviews, most of the soldiers have paid sweat for the people, and the Northern Yuan side was criticized by the people for only eating human blood steamed buns.
The Beiyuan government is also a nest, they can't get out of the city, besides, this bridge was blown up by the Ming Dynasty, and they have nothing to do with the Northern Yuan, they Beiyuan wanted to demolish the bridge before, but it was also for the sake of the people that the bridge was not dismantled, seeing that the Ming blew up the bridge and helped with farming, it was completely a good person's character, the temporary commander-in-chief of the Beiyuan government, the military teacher who was temporarily pulled up by the Tianyuan Emperor, the face was green, he didn't want to help the people of the Northern Yuan, but he was really helpless, Even if the Ming Dynasty does not blow up the bridge, they do not dare to go out, the Ming Dynasty's troops are obviously stronger than them, if they rush out of the city, they will definitely become the prisoners of the Ming soldiers.
"The government of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Emperor of Tianyuan are simply bitter! Brother Xian, what a wonderful trick of yours! As I just observed, there are still a lot of people watching on the city wall, which really captures the hearts of the people! Zhu Di said beside Ma Sanbao, for a while, everyone forgot that Zhu Di's identity was the prince, after all, how could there be a prince who had been patting his subordinates.
