Chapter 153: Vietnam (13) - Enemy Army?
Chen Jiasheng, who was frightened, came to Xicheng under the threat of gunpoint. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to the double impact of last night's explosion and earthquake, all the buildings near the city gate in Xicheng were razed to the ground. So Daming found an open space of more than 100 meters and set up a simple camp tent in army green.
One is to treat the wounded. The second is to resettle homeless civilians.
After all, the midnight disaster caused a large number of casualties. As a civilized country, how can the Ming Dynasty not reflect the 'nature' of being close to the people and loving the people? What's more, this moment is the most suitable to buy people's hearts. Correspondingly, reduce the hostility of the Vietnamese people.
As a result, many people buried in the rubble were rediscovered with the help of mercenaries and local people. Then they were sent to the tent to be treated. The war correspondent on the side immediately recorded it, and the title read: 'Jointly build a military and civilian fish and water situation'.
Of course, the medical conditions of this ordinary person are certainly not as good as those of mercenaries. If you can live, you can save more, and if you can't live, or if it's too troublesome, you can only ask for more blessings.
But even so, those people were deeply moved. Because of the catastrophe in previous years, how could there be officials and soldiers to save it? It's only this year that the enemy army is besieging the city. Not only did they not kill them, but they also rescued them. What a miracle!
The resettlement of civilians is mainly based on moral and interest considerations.
In terms of morality, the main thing is that Liu Weiguo doesn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately! Because these people are unarmed civilians, killing them in this way is almost like exterminating humanity. Obviously, Liu Weiguo still carries the thoughts of modern people and has the most basic humanitarianism!
It's just that in the present, no one can tell whether it's right or wrong.
In terms of interests, it is to maintain the reputation of the Ming Dynasty. To treat them, to a certain extent, there will be a group of more supporters of the Ming Dynasty. After all, in this era, there is no such thing as nationalism. People are realistic, and whoever makes them live well will support them. The fall of the Xishan Dynasty so quickly is inseparable from the loss of the people's hearts.
And the Ming Dynasty can't directly control Vietnam now, so what can be done is to try to increase the local people's goodwill towards the Ming Dynasty. These people are the seeds sown by Daming. Be nice to them, and maybe there will be a bigger reward in the future!
Then I saw that in the tent area, there were busy people inside and out. There were soldiers carrying the wounded, and there were people supporting each other. And some little kids running around! From their grinning faces, there was not the slightest pain of war. It's like last night's war, just floating clouds.
This made Chen Jiasheng a little confused! Are these enemy troops still the iron-blooded and ruthless enemy troops on the streets? If it weren't for the soldier who shot him, he couldn't believe it.
Treating the wounded and taking in homeless civilians is better than that of the officers and soldiers. He had been in Hue for half his life and had never seen such an enemy army.
Although the houses were completely destroyed and the casualties were directly related to these people. But people only believe what they see! And when there is a war, the lives of ordinary people like them are the least valuable. The city of Hue has also experienced many wars, and every time it happens, a large number of people are buried with them. Several of Chen Jiasheng's uncles died when the Xishan Dynasty attacked Hue last time.
So the people are very real! I don't blame the sky or the earth when I die, I only blame myself for my bad luck! No matter who owns the world, most of the ordinary people will honestly be obedient to the people.
This is also the sorrow of the whole era!
Therefore, Daming's approach is very easy to buy people's hearts.
Chen Jiasheng's fear of the official army has also been reduced a lot.
At first, he also thought that this was the army of the 'King of Ruan' in the south, but when he listened to the officials along the way, he found that he couldn't understand it at all. Only then did I realize that it was not 'King Ruan' who came.
Just as he was secretly guessing the origin of this army, the sound of a gong suddenly sounded in his ears. I saw many people gathered around and lined up in a long line.
The soldier who brought them over asked them a few words. But no one understands! The soldier gestured with his hand a few times, but told them to follow and line up.
Although he didn't understand the reason, the obedience in his bones still allowed Chen Jiasheng to enter the team. It shouldn't be a bad thing to see so many people eagerly coming forward. Thinking about this, with the flow of people, slowly move forward.
When he saw someone passing by with a big bowl in his hand, he realized that it was time to eat.
After a while, he was finally arranged.
I saw that this was a row of large iron pots, about seven or eight, corresponding to each long line. Boiling water boiled in the pot, and on the side, dusty porcelain bowls were piled up. Sticking my head out, there was a piece of dry bread in the bowl.
When it came to him, the master who boiled the water poured half a scoop of boiling water into the bowl, then picked up a palm-sized tortilla from the basket next to him and handed it to him.
The orange dough gradually spread out under the boiling water. It's steaming hot, and it's full of fragrance. And the tortillas are fragrant and crispy, and when you bite into it, it also makes a crisp echo.
Back where they had just come, most of the soldiers who had brought them over had left. Only a small soldier was left to lead them.
When everyone had gathered, the soldier found a corner and let them squat down to eat.
There are more cautious people, who dare not eat chicken intestines for a while. I'm afraid that poison will be put in it and poisoned to death. Chen Jiasheng glanced at it with disdain, and then ate it in a big gulp. He didn't even hold chopsticks, just drank the noodle soup and slurred it into his mouth.
In fact, if you think about it a little, you can understand. If they really wanted to kill them, they would have killed them in the streets. Why bring it here and feed them?
Besides, food is so precious at the moment, why should these military men waste food?
Besides, this bread and corn tortillas are already abundant for ordinary people. Like Chen Jiasheng who opened a commercial bank, he is doing quite well. But in normal times, it is indispensable to eat thin. There is no such thing as noodles or bread to eat. As for the lower classes, life is even more miserable. Drink rice porridge that is as thin as water every day, and occasionally eat a dry meal, which is also old rice and rough noodles.
Thinking of this, he secretly scolded this cannibalistic Xishan court, which was even more ruthless than when 'Old Ruan' ruled! The rulers only know how to set up clever names and loot money from them. The emperor only knew how to eat, drink and be merry, and did not care about the people's suffering. The war in the south is fought year after year, month after month, day by day. Before taxes, the tide is also rising, and it is almost impossible to pass.
Chen Jiasheng's firm was exploited layer by layer. Some powerful people often take things for nothing in his shop. As a result, the already bad business of the commercial bank is even worse.
If it weren't for the small property left by his ancestors, he would have closed his door a long time ago!
But with such a strong support, life is also very difficult.
Now this enemy army who does not know where to come from, if only he could stay. At least judging from what he has done so far, he can be regarded as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.
It's just that what he doesn't know is that this food is taken out by Da Ming himself. But Daming has never traded at a loss. When they finish eating, they will do Daming a great favor.
