Chapter 246: Pressure Release
"Oh? Our brave and incompetent general, what else do you want me to do? Yang Mu smiled and put down his wine glass.
"Wei Chen's performance, the soldiers fought repeatedly, very fortunate, when the expedition to the cave country, there was almost a danger of bombing the camp, and please ask Your Majesty to let the soldiers relax once." Qu Yong bowed.
Bomb the camp?
Yang Mu's eyes froze, the atmosphere in the Cangjun army had reached such a point?
Or is there something else going on?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Yang Mu said.
Qu Yong was originally apprehensive, but when he heard Yang Mu's inquiry, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly told him in detail what happened when he escorted the prisoners back to China that day, and also said that he had made a promise in front of the soldiers.
After listening to this, Yang Mu looked at Wei Zhongquan, who nodded, which can be regarded as proof of this matter.
It is not surprising that the soldiers have this request...... However, this is not a good phenomenon, and in the future, many people in the army should pay attention to it and channel the emotions of the non-commissioned officers, so that such a situation must not happen again. ”
"Yes! Your Ministers obey—"
"In this case, there are more than 6,000 women among the captives this time, and I will order someone to make an inventory, and select 1,000 of the women who have been out of the cabinet among the nobles, and also select some of the concubines and princesses, and fill them into the sect division together...... However, captives are also human beings after all, and it may take a few days at night, and I will let these people willingly serve my heroic son. ”
"Your Majesty—"
The generals are overjoyed, men are alive, chasing nothing more than power, wealth, beauty, fame and fortune, these generals in the palace are rough people, and most of them are from poor families, as soon as they heard that there are not only women to sleep with, but also women in the family of the prince and nobles of the cave, they suddenly became hot in their hearts.
O noblewoman!
Concubines and princesses!
This is something that I couldn't have imagined in the past!
As for what His Majesty the Emperor said, let those women be willing, everyone didn't think much about it, His Majesty has always practiced what he said, and what ordinary people can't imagine, His Majesty can think of it, there must be some way.
After saying this, the hearts of several generals were also much happier, and they couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
After the banquet was over, Yang Mu began to think about it.
Indeed, the discipline of the Cangguo army is very good, almost too good.
Behind the serious military discipline, invisibly, it has increased a lot of psychological pressure on the soldiers, and once they are not released, they are likely to produce various deformities, and one day, they may evolve into flood beasts.
After all, this is not a time of peace, and the soldiers are fighting outside every day, and the pressure they suffer is several times, or even dozens of times, that of the soldiers in the interior.
In the army of later generations, there are also some good ways to reduce pressure, but they are not suitable for the current Cangguo.
First, there is no such condition.
Second, even the most well-disciplined armies of later generations will present this problem in war.
So the best thing to do is to channel, not to repress.
The establishment of such a mechanism is a process that a country must go through.
At present, the external environment of Cangguo is very bad, the countries are fighting endlessly, and there may be only a few who can survive in the end.
Using female captives of enemy countries to exert pressure on the generals is almost a rewarding measure, such as exchanging points for the number of experiences, which can increase the enthusiasm of the soldiers and better exert the pressure of the soldiers.
This is not cruel, in fact, in those periods of history full of benevolence and morality, this method is very popular, even everyone thinks that the emperor loves the people like a son of the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan period, in foreign wars are slaughtered at every turn, the enemy people are treated as animals and ants, and they are killed at will.
What's more, Cangguo is not blindly forcing these noblewomen and concubines and princesses, but just giving them two choices.
The first option is to continue to stay in a dark prison, wearing shackles and leg cuffs every day, doing heavy manual work, wearing coarse cloth clothes, and eating leftovers and vegetables once a day.
Thus, from that night onwards, all the female captives ceased to be fed, and each of them could only eat once a day, tied with ropes, and slept in crowded and dark places, a world of difference from the old way of life of fine clothes and fine food.
There are more than 4,000 aristocratic men who have been executed in the palace, and more than 2,000 have survived the torment of life and death.
Of course, after losing the general trend, they were no longer men, and they were all escorted to the Ministry of Works, where they were used as coolies for the construction of water conservancy and canals, and were not allowed to be ransomed, and they could only die in endless hard work in this life.
Three days passed, and the place where the female captives were imprisoned was already full of crying, and the jailers passed by, and the cries were endless.
There are even some people who eat rotten vegetable leaves with relish.
After the last sacrifice of prisoners, it can be said that there is no one who is not afraid.
The prince was chopped alive, and that kind of wailing and despair once made many people dizzy, and all women became much more honest.
Finally, ten days later, when the soldiers of the Qinglong Legion were almost resting and were about to go to the front line, Yang Mu issued an order and invited a group of old bustards from the Qinglou to talk to those noble girls one by one.
Of course, the content is to make a promise, when they enter the Teaching Workshop Division, they will be given appropriate freedom, and they will be treated like the top brand of the Qinglou, and they will not be treated badly in terms of food and clothing.
And what they need to pay is to use their bodies to serve the soldiers in the army who come to seek pleasure and release pressure on them.
At this point, there is no one who does not understand the meaning.
Although most women are very repulsed, and even scolded, there are still a small number of people who can't stand the torture here, plus their bodies have been open for a long time, and they haven't been able to withstand the rain and dew.
According to statistics, there are more than 1,300 people, most of them are concubines of some aristocratic families, or the side rooms of the prince's mansion, among which there are a few princesses who have been married, and those ladies and concubines in the main room may not be able to save face.
When the personnel presented it to Yang Mu's desk, Yang Mu showed a hint of playfulness on his face.
They have all become captives, what else can't they face?
Have you ever escaped?
It can be said that among these women, except for a few who can be selected by luck and filled into the harem, the rest of them can't escape the fate of being bought and sold.
The most enthusiastic about buying these women, of course, is none other than Qinglou.
Why suffer for a while longer?
After dealing with this matter, Yang Mu didn't care about it, I believe that after the news reaches the barracks, tonight will be a sleepless night.
In the past ten days, one after another government decrees were issued from the imperial court, and the paper flew to various parts of the cave country like snowflakes, and a huge change began to take off.
On September 26, the second wave of envoys from Sheng Guo arrived in Cangcheng.
