Gao Fangping immediately turned on the speech mode again and said, "Now that you have laid down your weapons, you are not soldiers, but prisoners." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI always think that war is a soldier's business, war is unavoidable, and soldiers who die on the battlefield can't cry out for injustice, but laying down their arms as a people's queen and being killed without the ability to resist and protect themselves is not the way I like it. That's not really a way of warfare either. General Dao wants to trap you, he is right, he wants to punish those who violate and trample on the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Everyone, including the captives, paid attention to the listeners.

Gao Fangping said again, "I let you go not because I am merciful, but because I have no hatred with you, and you are not the ones who really started the war. There is another important point, let you go, even if it is a reward for the Western Xia army not massacring the people in my border areas, I will repay my pork for both kindness and hatred. This is the outcome of this war, accept? ”

Snoring and purring-

More and more Tangut people began to nod, and some of them who could not understand the official language of the Han people gradually understood under the translation of others, so they nodded their heads.

"Yet." Gao Fangping changed his words and said: "As a prisoner of the defeated side, don't expect to be treated well. You will stay in the Great Song Dynasty for the time being, break up, reorganize into prisoner camps, work under supervision, and serve my post-war work. There is no pay, but there will be a partial ration for survival. Those who are willing to stay in the Great Song Dynasty after the completion of their service period may, depending on their performance during the service period, obtain temporary residence qualifications in the Great Song Dynasty under the cautious watchful watch, continue to participate in labor reform, and have part of their human rights and one-third of their wages. After three years of labor reform, depending on the performance, the Great Song Dynasty household registration can be granted in the northwest border area, and officially become a Hanmin-Epitek. If you are unwilling to stay, after the expiration of the service period, depending on the political situation at the time, the government will send you back to Western Xia. ”

In this way, those who are safe and serious during the service can live. If something goes wrong, hack to death, and take the corpse to feed the dogs, isn't it simple? Gao Fangping said.

The Western Xia captives began to fry the pot, and there was an uproar, "Really...... Can you really survive and go back to Western Xia? ”

"Really. We are soldiers, not executioners, and when we don't want to kill you, do we keep you to eat? But those who have completed their service period, those who are willing to get out of the country should hurry up, to put it bluntly, people live to eat, and those who drag their families with their mouths will of course go back to Western Xia. As for the group that didn't care about it in Western Xia, if you think that the food is better than the Great Song Dynasty and the environment is better than the Great Song Dynasty after you go back, then go back. Having said that, there is only one chance to live, and I hope you will cherish it. ”

Gao Fangping left after speaking, and walked towards the temporary tent in the distance.

Originally, there were still a lot of pretending to be forced to say, just because the wind and snow outside were too cold, Shi Wengong and they could bear it, but Gao Fangping couldn't stand it anymore......

Gao Fangping likes speeches very much, and the speech to the Western Xia captives has just begun, and it is still early to finish.

But now I can only be in the tent, huddled around the brazier, and shiver. Mentally cursed this damn ghost weather.

Seeing him like this, the various marshals and generals who followed the tent looked at each other. There is no way, the Great Demon King is just this virtue, he is such a person, he won the vigorous Fifth Song and Xia War, and the strategic genius Cha Ge was planted in the hands of such an obscene bad boy.

Even if he is as conceited as a teacher, he is very aware of Brother Cha's eloquence. The sadness of Brother Cha is that he and Gao Fangping are in the same era. Otherwise, the seed master Dao is too aware of the urine nature of the imperial court, if it were not for the strong appearance of the Great Demon King and the full presiding over the battle of Song and Xia this time, it would definitely be due to the wrong command of the first three rows, resulting in the Great Song Dynasty not being able to recover the lost territory within a hundred years.

Because Liu Yanqing's ministry will first be in a state of stupidity and money, and then Qin Fengjun will be alone.

The marshals and generals were all waiting in the tent, Gao Fangping was squatting on the ground, and they were also squatting on the ground to accompany Gao Fangping, all waiting for Gao Fangping to calm down and say something.

For a while, the quiet pin drop could be heard.

Gao Fangping trembled as he thought about what had just happened, but he didn't intend to explain it to them.

After some things were done, in fact, many times Gao Fangping didn't know whether it was right or wrong, such as letting go of 40,000 Western Xia prisoners.

In fact, Gao Fangping didn't care about their lives at all, he had no sympathy and no excessive anger, but he intended to use them as a powerful political bargaining chip.

This dominance defeated the Western Xia, 400,000 elites of the Western Xia invaded the Song Dynasty and died, and now there are 40,000 prisoners left, which has successfully hit the vitality of the whole country of the Western Xia militarily. Yes, there is no doubt that the loss of 400,000 young adults is a permanent damage at the strategic level, given the foundation and population base of the Western Xia, and the bitter cold zone where they are not conducive to reproduction.

Even if it is the temperate climate of the Great Song Dynasty and the base of 100 million people, it is not easy to relieve itself if it encounters such an injury.

Therefore, it does not matter to Gao Fangping whether these 40,000 people die or not, and the main purpose of this war has been achieved.

The biggest profit lies in political interests, and Gao Fangping's promise to let them go back to Western Xia was serious. This group of people is very important to the current Western Xia, so they can be used as the main bargaining chip in post-war negotiations to get more benefits.

Li Qianshun must bow his head for the sake of these 40,000 captives, otherwise he will give up this group of compatriots who fought hard for the Western Xia, then the morale of the whole country will be low, and there will be fewer people who will fight for the country next time.

And if Li Qianshun is stubborn and pays the price in exchange for these prisoners, the long-term damage will be even greater. This group of captives who were defeated and treated preferentially will be like the Liangshan army that was released by Gao Fangping, bringing Gao Fangping's invincible idea back to Western Xia, and will also spread Gao Fangping's idea of mercy and preferential treatment of captives in Western Xia.

It's hard to estimate for the time being how big the psychological shadow area of the Tangut people will be after they go back. In a word, even if Western Xia can still fight in the future, their combat power will be suppressed when facing Gao Fangping, and they will not resist iron-bloodedly.

These are the reasons why Gao Fangping let go of those 40,000 people. Of course, there is another reason, after the war, there is a need for manpower, and they need to serve for free......

At the level of the imperial court, or from the perspective of the emperor, the war in the northwest has ended. All that's left is to be all right and enjoy the breath of peace that comes from the heyday.

In this era, especially in Bianjing, the people did not like war, whether they were high or low. But at the level of Gao Fangping, the endless war has only just begun. Of course, the war is not good, but Gao Fangping is now also a member of the "military-industrial complex", and this time, in order to prepare for the Songxia War, the war investment in Jiangzhou and Bianjing pig farms under the wartime system, and the expanded armament production lines, cannot be wasted. The hard-won opportunity for military reform cannot be lost.

The situation that has been suppressed by the barbarians since the beginning of the dynasty cannot be calmed down now that the strategic initiative of the warriors has been reversed.

At the same time, of course, Gao Fangping also knew that at this time, there would definitely be a diplomatic tear involving Liao.

The conclusion is: in the interests of Gao Fangping and the Great Song Dynasty, there can be no truce.

Upgrade-

After the drum was beaten, all the main generals quickly gathered in the tent.

"Now there is a legend of the end of the war, but calling everyone here today is to convey a message from this house: the war is not over yet, and it is too early to say anything."

Gao Fangping sat high above and looked around at everyone.

Hearing this opening remark, the planter Dao, who had always had his eyes half-closed, opened his eyes, revealing a hint of joy.

However, the seed division said: "Ming Mansion, the last general thinks that it is not suitable to fight again, although the morale is high, but the damage of the troops is not low, and it is an unprecedented cold, and in this case, the battle damage of the combat sergeant will be very serious." In any case, we should wait for the beginning of spring and the orders of the imperial court before making a decision. ”

Seeing that Gao Fangping's face was relatively ugly, the seed master Dao also reprimanded angrily: "Don't say it again!" ”

Although the anger in the seed master is not as big as that of the old seed, he is definitely not a person who is afraid of war, seeing that his face is sad, Gao Fangping can't help but feel sorry, and begins to wonder if he is really idealized?

Thinking about it, Gao Fangping didn't scold for the time being, and looked at Shi Wengong.

Obviously, Shi Wengong supports the opinion of the seed master, thinking that he can't fight again at this time. Shi Wengong didn't speak, but he understood the temper of the Great Demon King and didn't want to disagree with the Great Demon King in public.

Seeing Shi Wengong nodding slightly, this means that his old history supports the opinions of the seed master. So Gao Fangping was fluted again.

looked at Xu Ning again, and Xu Ning also nodded slightly, indicating that he also supported the opinions of the seed master.

At this point, Gao Fangping knew that his decision was not taken for granted, but there must be a reason why they opposed the army.

Liu Fa was also a ruthless man, and he felt that he should enter the army, so he stood up and planned to speak.

Gao Fangping raised his hand to stop Liu Fadao: "Sending troops is one of the plans of the main hall, but the small marshal is against it, there should be a deep-seated reason, don't talk about it for the time being, wait for the government to continue to think about it, and make a decision." ”

The seed master changed his color and said: "Don't hesitate in the Ming Mansion, the opportunity is fleeting......"

"I said don't say anything more." Gao Fangping interrupted.

Seed Master Dao continued to stubbornly say: "You shouldn't forget that three years ago, the end of the army was about to arrive in Xiping Mansion, but at that time, it was also faced with the armistice climate of the imperial court and the interference of the Liao people's diplomatic intervention, you won't forget what you said in your private message to the last general at that time, right?" How can the interests of the soldiers who have fought with blood be ceded by diplomatic envoys at the negotiating table? If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to enter the army, how can you strengthen the bargaining chips of the imperial court? ”

Everyone in the account looked at each other, worried that the old seed would be hanged up.

Gao Fangping got up and stared at the old man for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything, just said a refund and left.

The big guy breathed a sigh of relief, and found that the big demon king seemed to have changed his sex, and his anger was really not as heavy as it was back then, and at the same time he became a political hooligan, wanting to subvert his own style and rhetoric back then......
