Zhao Er's words were very straightforward, and there was no beating around the bush at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut his straightforward words resonate with people in our current era.

After all, in the eyes of people in this era, repaying kindness is a matter of course. Since Zhang Shihua has a great kindness to them, it is only right that they strive to repay the kindness.

So after Zhao Er said such a thing, the five hundred miners in the audience still looked at Zhao Er quietly, and no one made any dissatisfied voices.

Seeing this, Zhao Er couldn't help but shout: "The army of the Tartars will be killed the day after tomorrow, but because the general will lead the troops south, it will take four days to return." Therefore, Ben will need your strength to help Ben defend our homeland together. ”

"Ben will not be a man of good speech, and he will not be able to say such blood-boiling words. So here, Ben will just say one thing to you, as long as you feel that you are a man, a man who can protect your father, wife, children and homeland. Then you will stand up for the general, take a set of armor from here, and wait until the day after tomorrow to follow the general into battle to kill the tartars. ”

"If you don't have the courage, you're a waste who can watch your wife and children suffer humiliation from the Tartars. Then you can also act as if nothing happened, and when the warriors led by Ben have repelled the invading Tartars, you can still come to work as a miner in peace with the wages that the neighbors envy. ”

"Therefore, now those who are not afraid of death, have courage, and are willing to use their lives to protect their fathers, elders, wives and children at home, stand up. Ben is here waiting for you warriors! ”

After saying this, Zhao Er held his saber and looked at the five hundred miners in the audience silently. And when the five hundred miners heard Zhao Er's words, they naturally stood up one after another.

After all, people live for a breath, and the five hundred miners present are all dignified seven-foot men, even if they die, who wants to live a lifetime in the name of a waste and a coward. So in less than a quarter of an hour, all the 500 miners came forward.

And they all received a full set of armor from a hundred household officials to prove their courage.

And after these 500 miners all stood up and received their own sets of armor, there were naturally only 535 bandit miners who were forcibly forced to labor reform in the mine. These more than 500 people are naturally young and strong, and because these people have fallen into the grass before, they are undoubtedly more wild than the 500 people just now.

But it is precisely for this reason that Zhao Er's words just now are obviously useless to these people. After all, here in Zhang Shihua, they belong to the kind of people who are oppressed and exploited by Zhang Shihua. Although it is said that because Zhang Shihua uses the supervision system of thieves to govern thieves, these people are not so resentful of Zhang Shihua.

But this is just not resentful, they don't have a good impression of Zhang Shihua, and Zhang Shihua has no kindness to them. Therefore, if you want these people to contribute to the next battle, it is useless to play the emotional card, and you can only use the method of inducement.

Therefore, after the five hundred miners who were recruited received their armor one after another, Zhao Er, who was wearing armor, looked at the remaining people and couldn't help but shout at them: "Do you know? At the beginning, when the general was ordered to arrest you, I thought that I would directly kill a group of thieves like you. ”

"However, the general is benevolent, and thinks that most of you thieves are persecuted by the Tartars, and they are a last resort. Therefore, the general is determined to let you live, give you rich clothes and food, and let you, the original thieves of the people, work here to atone for your sins. ”

"I don't know if you will be grateful for the Shogun's kindness in doing this. But I believe what the Shogun said, and I think that you thieves really have to do it as a last resort. So today, I can also give you a chance to prove yourself. ”

"Now the Tartars who have oppressed our Han people and stole our Han people for 80 years are about to be killed. At this time, as long as some of you are willing to stand up and think like a real warrior, you can contribute to our Han people in the world. ”

"Then, after the end of this battle, the general will go to the general, ask for merit and intercede for you, let the general forgive you people from the sins they committed before, and give you people freedom, so that you can live every day with your head held high and your chest held high, like these recruited miners."

"So are you willing to stand up now, go out with Ben, and wash away your sins with the blood of the Tartars?"

Hearing Zhao Er's words, the 500 miners who were forcibly reformed through labor in the audience couldn't help but riot. But the commotion lasted for a moment, and then a bandit miner was seen coming out of the crowd.

And after these people took the lead, the next thing was that groups of bandits and miners came out of the crowd one after another. After all, for these bandit miners who were forcibly reformed through labor, the freedom that Zhao Er promised them was too precious to them.

They don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future to clear their identity as thieves. Therefore, when such an opportunity is placed in front of their eyes, how can they be willing to let this opportunity be lost in vain.

Therefore, under this idea, these more than 500 bandit miners who were forced to re-enter labor finally all stood up. And in this way, it made the eight hundred pairs of armor in Ye Xian's inventory insufficient. Even now, these bandit miners are worried about whether they will be eliminated later.

And for the appearance of such a scene, Zhao Er's heart was naturally extremely happy. So in the next step, he selected three hundred of the strongest men from among the more than 500 bandit miners. And then it was really like the previous heavy recruitment of miners, and more than 200 people were eliminated from this group of bandit miners.

Of course, for the more than 200 people who were eliminated, Zhao Er naturally did not forget to comfort him, lest this group of bandits, who had always been bold, feel resentful because they couldn't choose themselves this time, so that good things turned bad.

Therefore, after such a delay, it took Zhao Er a full afternoon to recruit these 800 miners. Therefore, after recruiting these miners, there was only one day left for Zhao Jiu and them.

……

At night, in Ye Xian's county office, Li Chongsan, who was the county governor of Ye Xian, and Zhao Er, the commander of Ye Xian's army, were discussing here.

At this time, all the people of Ye Xian, because of Zhao Er's recruitment of miners during the day, almost all knew about the arrival of the Tartar generals in the city the day after tomorrow. However, although the people knew that the Tartars would come to the city the day after tomorrow, they did not know how many Tartars would come this time.

Moreover, coupled with Li Chongsan, he coped with it decently. Therefore, the people of Ye Xian today just thought that the Tartar officers and soldiers had sent 3,000 people to attack Ye Xian. Therefore, although this news attracted the attention of all the people in Ye Xian, it did not cause panic among the people.

You must know that the people still trust the combat effectiveness of the Red Turban Army very much. After all, the Red Turban Army has never failed since the uprising, and the attack of 3,000 officers and soldiers is really not taken seriously by the people of Ye Xian today.

And such a phenomenon is naturally extremely beneficial to Zhao Er and Li Chongsan. Therefore, for the specific number of the Tartar army, Li Chongsan and Zhao Er also issued strict gag orders to those spies who knew about it, and they were not allowed to leak the news to anyone, so as not to cause a decline in the morale of the generals in the army and panic among the people in the city.

But at this time, let's not talk about this, just talk about what Zhao Er and Li Chongsan are discussing now.

In the study in the backyard of Yecheng County, Zhao Er, who was wearing armor and armor, looked at Li Chongsan sitting opposite, and couldn't help but say to Li Chongsan with a resolute face: "Mr. Li, now our army is still full of morale for unknowingly reasons. ”

Therefore, the Japanese will prepare to lead a thousand elite soldiers under their command and take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, in order to defeat the 3,000 vanguard of the Tartar army in one fell swoop, strike at the arrogance of the Tartar army, and increase the morale of our army. I don't know what do you think, sir? ”

However, when Li Chongsan heard Zhao Er's words, he couldn't help but say with a worried face: "General Zhao is too risky like this. Our army now has no more than 1,000 soldiers, but the Tartars have an army of 20,000, which is dozens of times that of our army. ”

"Therefore, in the opinion of the officer, instead of risking an attack, the general should lead his army to hold the fortified city. In this way, after our army has the advantage of the city, the chances of victory can be greater. ”

"How brave Master Li is!" Hearing Li Chongsan's tactics of seeking stability, Zhao Er couldn't help but stand up from his seat and scolded Li Chongsan like this. And after scolding this sentence, Zhao Er couldn't help but say to Li Chongsan with a resolute face: "Now because the Tartar strength is dozens of times that of our army, our army must take the initiative to attack. ”

"The General is now on an expedition, and by the time his help comes, the enemy will have already broken us. Therefore, when the enemy army is not united, it should attack against it, destroy the enemy's sharpness, and calm the hearts of the people, and then hold on. The chance of success or failure, in this battle, why should Lord Li wonder?"

When Li Chongsan heard Zhao Er's words, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Zhao Er's extremely resolute eyes, and then nodded and said, "In this case, if you fight tomorrow, I will ask the general." I will prepare a meal for the general and his soldiers in the hope that the general will return triumphantly. ”

"Well, tomorrow Li will first see how Ben will defeat the enemy." After saying this, Zhao Er strode out of Li Chongsan's study.

……

Early the next morning, before dawn, Tian Guohua was awakened by the loud sound of gongs outside the house. Hearing this loud gong sound, he, as a new soldier who had just joined the Red Turban Army, suddenly fell asleep, and hurriedly roared, urging his companions to get up with him.

Then, in just five minutes, Tian Guohua and the others all got dressed and got up, and under the leadership of Tian Guohua, they went out of their small barracks together and began their washing. I have to say that such a gathering speed is really extremely rare for new soldiers like Tian Guohua and them.

Of course, this also has something to do with Tian Guohua and their work as miners. After all, in Zhang Shihua's two mines, all the miners on the mines are under militarized management. Therefore, it can also be said that all the miners on these two mines are actually equivalent to the reserve army under Zhang Shihua.

And this is actually why, Zhao Er, he thought of these miners at the first time when his troops were insufficient. Because for these miners who have been under militarized management for a long time, as long as they are given a pair of armor, they can go into battle to kill the enemy.

This morning's meal was very hearty, with a fragrant mutton soup and enough flatbread. This kind of food is really many times better than the food they eat in the mines.

"Oh my God, it turns out that soldiers eat like this every day, and I would have joined the army if I knew it." Tian Liulang, one of Tian Guohua's brothers of the same clan, couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the sumptuous meal on the table after washing.

However, hearing Tian Liulang's words, the faces of the two fireheads who arranged the meals for them couldn't help but show an idiot expression. One of the older fireheads sneered: "What do you want, boy, you still want to eat like this every day? ”

"Boy, you must know that you are here to be a soldier and kill Tartars, not to enjoy the confinement. This meal is probably a reward for sending us to the battlefield, and when the time comes, we will have to eat it openly, and you will not even have the strength to kill the enemy at that time. ”

After saying this, the two fire-headed soldiers looked at Tian Liulang, who was stunned, and after they smiled, they also left with the pot of mutton soup.

And after the two fireheads left, Tian Liulang, a stunned boy, looked at the mutton soup flatbread on the dinner table, and couldn't help but say in a slightly frightened tone: "Didn't you say that the Tartars will come back tomorrow, why are we going to go to the battlefield today, are we going to go out of the city today to fight with the three thousand Tartars." ”

Obviously, from this meal, a stunned boy like Tian Liulang also saw that something was wrong. And the miners next to Tian Liulang are new pawns. After hearing Tian Liulang's speculation, these people's faces naturally showed a look of fear.

After all, no matter what kind of military management is, it can't change the fact that these people have never been on the battlefield. They have never been on the battlefield, they have not seen blood, they are not afraid but strange.

However, if there is fear, there are naturally those who don't care, such as Tian Guohua at this time, after hearing what his brothers of the same clan said, he still said with a calm face: "Three thousand Tartars, General Zhao is a character who has seen a big scene and tens of thousands of Tartars have fought, with General Zhao here, what is there to be afraid of." Let's have a quick meal. ”
