Chapter 526: The Crazy Tamna
With the addition of the captives, a large number of Tang troops were able to withdraw and recuperate, and at the same time prepare to devote themselves to the next mission.
And the captives were only after a morning of hard labor, and by the afternoon their enthusiasm for work had risen rapidly.
The reason is very simple, people who are not happy to work have nothing to eat.
This made the millers regret it in the morning, especially when they watched the other people eat the incense, but they could only watch with hunger, and then they had to do the same work in the afternoon.
The most important thing is that although the quality of the food they are given at work is still not very good, everyone is basically able to eat seven or eight points full, which is very important for them.
As a large number of Tang troops withdrew, and the sweeping arrangements became more and more reasonable, more and more Tamluo people became prisoners.
However, in the first day or two, some arson people were still caught, but in the next two days, there were almost no arsonists, and all of those caught were arson attempts, and there were even those who took the initiative to expose their whereabouts and let the Tang army arrest them.
On the fourth day, a group of three or four hundred Tamna people walked straight towards the dock, their faces hard to hide, tired and disappointed.
The interpreter became the main person who received these captives.
"Huh? Why are you back again? Luo Ling looked at these three or four hundred Tamluo people who came by himself in surprise, at first glance it felt a little familiar, and only after they got close did he confirm that this was not the group of people he let go four days ago?
How did you come back again? However, it seems that the number of people is a little smaller than before.
"That ......" the leader lowered his head and twisted a little embarrassed, "We are here to surrender......"
"Surrender?" Luo Ling was stunned, hundreds of civilians surrendered? But looking at the dress of these people, I understand the reason why they came back, the food is gone, at this time there is obviously nothing to eat outside, the food is still green seedlings, can not be eaten at all, is there anything else at home, whether you can go back is one thing, if you don't come back, you can only wait outside to starve to death, or something else?
"Yes, in the past few days since we left, we have met a lot of companions, we told them about the situation here, and told them that Tang Jun is a good person, as long as we don't provoke ourselves and don't do some bad things, Tang Jun will not embarrass us, but we didn't expect that the news was known to them, and then they robbed us of our food, and even, captured a lot of people, we finally escaped at night, as for the family, no one knows where they are." The leader was visibly depressed.
There is no other reason, Tang Jun did not embarrass them, but his own people made it difficult for them to die or live.
At this time, who is not lost?
If they had a choice, they would rather take their families to join the Tang Army, at least they wouldn't let themselves do things that were obviously sending them to death.
And if the Tang army at this moment were replaced by someone else, or the Baekje army, it is estimated that they would have been cold a long time ago.
This time, Luo Ling completely believed the results of the previous interrogation, in fact, he believed it as early as yesterday.
The first batch of people released has already had the desired effect, and the effect seems to be much better than they expected.
Most of the Tamluo people in the back were directly exposed to the Tang army, and then they were happily captured, without any resistance or nervousness.
It's just that Luo Ling is a little confused, why do these people do this?
Instead of taking the initiative to show his horse's feet and be discovered by the Tang army, why not take the initiative to come over and surrender?
Of course, Luo Ling was also deeply aware that the main reason for this result was because the Tang Army treated these prisoners too well.
At least, they can eat enough here, although they miss their families very much, but this thing is not something that can be finished by missing it, even if they leave here and go to find their family, they may not be able to find it.
In addition, those people already knew what they had done, and a series of actions they made were telling everyone that they had no place to stand, and all those who were captured seemed to be punished by them.
……
"Why are you robbing us of our lives? We have adapted to this place, we know how to do these jobs, we have become accustomed to the people around us, and we can cooperate well to get these things done, you are not doing it right, it will only lead to a decrease in the speed of the whole task, and after they come, they need to adapt again, which will greatly waste more time, so we agree that they should not come here, and we should not hand over the work here to them, at least, we must also finish these things before leaving. On the dock, a man in his forties, dancing and spitting at a man in Tang costumes, the expression on his face and the tone of his mouth were all dissatisfied with the other man next to him.
"Your labor period will be completed tomorrow, you are free, and then you can take the rations and go where you want to go, if you don't leave, won't others think that Datang is untrustworthy? As for the rest, you don't need to think about this for the time being, what you need to do now is to let your people go and take them to learn, adapt, and teach them what to do. The man in Tang costume was a little helpless in his heart, and secretly scolded what this special meow is called?
First the group of people who were acquitted were unwilling to leave, and then these people who had been subjected to five days of renegade and labor were also unwilling to go, of course, what he didn't know was that the group of people who had been released before had come back by themselves, otherwise he would have been even more depressed.
Although what the man in front of him said was very reasonable, for the quality and speed of the project, it was indeed not suitable to let them go at this time.
But the problem is that there are so many prisoners that it took more than 1,000 people to build the pier alone, and more than 4,000 Tamlors are busy on the entire pier.
As for the question of the guards, well, there is only one company, and two hundred people are watching here, and it cannot even be described as a guard, more precisely, it should be a record, to see who is not serious about his work, and then deduct his dinner.
But these captives were more energetic than the Tang Army, and they didn't give people a chance to deduct points at all, and the bored company almost fell asleep standing up.
With this, the progress of the entire project is increasing rapidly, and when the fleet comes again, the current dock can accommodate thirty warships at the same time, which is more than twice the number before, and the time is only five days.
"Yes, yes, you should leave when the labor period is up, you can't ruin Datang's reputation for you, right?" The other man obviously echoed with a flattering intention, and secretly relieved in his heart, he must drive these guys away.
Forget about Temeow's improper captivity, only to know when you are a prisoner, it turns out that being a prisoner is also very stressful, and there are now three or four thousand prisoners in the prisoner camp who have nothing to do, and the food is naturally much less than before.
And when they saw the food of the working captives, they became nervous one by one.
……
Liu Ju's eyes were black at the moment, and he hated to let the forbidden army jump with a gun.
Thousands of calculations, but I can't count that there will be such a thing as now.
Liu's plan did have a very good effect, for the Tamna people who couldn't eat enough, it was not a shame to be a prisoner, but they could eat enough.
It's not hard to work, it's better to eat, and after it's done, you can get some rations, which is a good thing that hasn't been encountered in many years?
Then, just like that, in just four days, the prisoner camp had gathered nearly 10,000 prisoners.
What made Liu Ju even more speechless was that the so-called prisoner camp did not look like a camp at all, and casually pointed out a piece of land outside the city, and then asked them to nominate a few 'respectable' people to be responsible for management, receive their rations, and did not even send a soldier to supervise, as a result, there were not fewer prisoners, but more and more.
The mess has nothing to do with the military now, and these young and strong laborers of Tamluo did not have any disgust with the Tang army, but they were nervous and unable to do it, fearing that they would be driven away by the Tang army.
"Captain, this seems to be beyond my duty, right?" Liu Ju found Huang Hui and said with a depressed face.
He deeply felt that his own ability was insufficient, and the plan was a good plan, but he overestimated the will of the Tamna people to resist and the means of the Baekje people.
"What? Isn't that nice now? Huang Hui smiled slightly, the truth was not only beyond Liu Ju's expectations, but also far beyond his and Wang Xuance's expectations.
Even in Datang, this thing will not go as smoothly as it is now, but compared to Datang, the situation here is better, because you only need to take care of the food, and you don't have to give money, which is the most important thing.
In addition, they deliberately reduced the number of meals for labor, but the Tamna people did not feel that it was less, but were very happy, and whoever did not let them continue to work would be in a hurry.
"A large number of Tamna people began to take the initiative to appear, more and more people in the prisoner camp, and there began to appear the old, young, sick and disabled, the prisoners in the prisoner camp were clamoring to work, the prisoners on the dock were making noise and didn't want to leave, they had already left, and now they are back, the number of prisoners is increasing, and if this continues, I don't know the bottom of my heart, what about the war?" Liu said depressedly, he immediately became the captain of the engineer brigade.
"Well, let's continue to expand the dock, find a suitable location, and then build a new dock, when the time comes, one for transporting supplies and one for transporting troops, isn't it good?" Huang Hui smiled, he didn't worry about the number of prisoners, the more the better.
And Liu's routine of recruiting and buying people's hearts can be regarded as unintentional insertion of willows and willows, unconsciously, it is basically regarded as letting the Tamna people accept the Tang Dynasty, as for the follow-up, it is not something they can care about, but now they can use these people to quickly expand the dock and make full preparations for going north.
Huang Hui knew very well that Wang Hance was desperate to advance the attack plan, and the bottom line of advance was the complete stability of Jeju and the ability to provide sufficient supplies.
So far, it's working well, and it's a lot better than they expected.
