Chapter 102: Captive
Yang Ritian was pacing around uneasily in the big tent of the General Staff. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The arraignment of the prisoners did not go very well.
The bandits on the island captured by Lord Lidel were frightened and asked what to answer. However, too few of these new bandits have been to the old lair, and it is not clear what the thieves on the island will represent, and some places are still contradictory.
There were also captives on another bandit island that had been stormed, and this group of captives behaved on the contrary, preferring to die rather than speak their mouths.
Yang Ritian's method is to cut it without opening his mouth! Chopped three people in a row, and Yang Ritian had no choice but to send Yang Liulang to pick up the wounded captives.
As soon as Yang Ritian raised his eyes, he saw Daoist Jia who was also dangling in the staff headquarters.
Daoist Jia was in a panic, shaking his fan and pondering about the fact that the master led the water ghosts to attack the bandit island at night, and he could make up a play!
There was a random bag piled up on the floor, and the mouth of the bag appeared to be silver.
Curiously, Daoist Jia squatted down and opened his pocket, which contained not only silver, but also gold and a lot of softness.
A pale green object caught his eye, half the size of a palm, as soft as paper, and it made a small pocket with a clattering of his hand. The small pocket is estimated to have been torn by life, and it is empty inside, with a line of red words on the outside:
"Compound acetylsalicylic acid tablets"
He didn't recognize the first word. It is said that this is the right half of "belly" or "fu" or "fu", but it is not a word alone.
"Compound B" is supposed to be a personal name, and it is estimated that this thing is "Compound B".
I don't know the word "acyl".
Since "acyl" is a unitary on the left, it should be related to wine or vinegar, and "acyl water" is probably a kind of brewed water similar to wine or vinegar water.
I don't know the word "Yang" yet. The left half is wood, and the right half has not been seen, like "Yi" or "昜" written in cursive, but the whole line of characters is neat italics. I guess it's a tree or wood that I've never seen before.
"Sour tablets" are the only ones that are fully recognized.
Thinking about it, Daoist Jia felt that this "sour tablet" might be preserved sour fruit.
Yang Ritian paced over and said with disdain: "This is the treasure of Ma San from the Wolf Mountain Hall. You said that this Ma San, who was dying in the years of famine, was still guarding these useless things, and it was better to have a bag of food! ”
Jia Daoshi thought that gold and silver could not be eaten or drunk, and it was really better than a bowl of dry noodles, so he lost the green paper casually.
Yang Ritian asked Daoist Jia: "Daoist, why do you say that the prisoners captured by the master are recruited as soon as they ask, why are the prisoners I captured so stubborn?" ”
Jia Daoshi pondered, "The captives of the Lord were not captured through the battle array; Your captives were captured after a bloody battle, and naturally hate you. ”
It just so happened that Yang Liu came back with the wounded captive. Unexpectedly, this bandit, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, made all the moves.
Jia Daoshi seemed to be slapped in the face head-on, and muttered in a low voice: "There are also bandits who spare their lives." ”
How to deal with these captives is also a headache for Yang Ritian.
Keep these bandits? I still have to take care of the food, and there is not much food in the camp.
Cut down this gang of bandits? It was Lord Lidel who ordered them to treat their injuries, and it doesn't seem cost-effective to kill them after they are cured.
Sun Yi made up for his sleep, except for the faint pain in the face of his right foot, and he was revived with full blood. With the war in mind, he went to the general staff. The current General Staff has become the default command center.
Yang Ritian first talked about the prisoner issue, and Sun Yi had no idea.
Preferential treatment of captives was a common practice in later generations, but it was not a problem to have food supplies. At the moment, his own people are still not full, and it is indeed inappropriate to save food for the captives.
Sun Yi asked tentatively, "Why don't you let the captives work for rations?" ”
Yang Ritian said: "Okay, my lord, if we have food, whether it is back in Shaanxi or on the grassland, as long as we say hello, there are as many innocent people as we want!" Where is the turn of bandits! ”
What Yang Ritian said was the truth, and Sun Yi had no way to refute it, but he would never be able to kill the prisoner Sun Yi.
Sun Yihao suggested again, "If you don't interrogate it first, kill those who have committed the most heinous crimes, expel those who don't kill you, and those who have been captured by bandits and haven't done too many bad things can stay." How is it? ”
Yang Ritian thought for a moment, "On this grassland, a single person is a dead end. ”
Jia Daoshi shook his head: "It's not the same, it's different, but as long as there is a glimmer of life, people have to break through." If the bandits of the nest knew that there might be a way to survive if they surrendered, I am afraid that they would never defend it! ”
Yang Ritian frowned and said, "However, it is not easy to torture the enemy, if you torture the bandits about their own crimes, I am afraid that no one in these bandits will confess." ”
Jia Daoshi nodded in agreement, "The human heart is indeed like this. At that time, everyone must say that they were forced to fall into the grass, and no one will admit that they have done something hurtful. ”
Sun Yi smiled and said, "I'll tell you a story." ”
"The government arrested two suspects, A and B, but there was not enough evidence to charge them with guilt. So the government imprisoned the suspects separately, met with them separately, and offered the same options to both parties:
If a person pleads guilty and testifies against the other party and the other person remains silent, the person will be released immediately and the silent person will be sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment.
If both remain silent, they will also be sentenced to six months' imprisonment.
If both of them report to each other, they will also be sentenced to 5 years' imprisonment.
Guess what? ”
Yang Ritian didn't even think about it, "If I don't recruit it, I will definitely not recruit it!" ”
Daoist Jia shook his fan, thought for a while, and shook his head, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." ”
Sun Yi smiled and said, "The result is that both of them are prosecuting each other!" This is a famous example of a psychological game! It's called the Prisoner's Dilemma. If you don't believe me, you can try it. ”
The prisoner's dilemma is the most representative example of later game theory. Although the dilemma itself is only model-based, similar situations often arise in reality, such as price competition, arms race, public property protection, and so on.
Jia Daoshi usually tells fortunes and divinations, but in fact, he is pondering people's hearts. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that what my master said made sense.
Ye said that this is called "mental game". The word "gambling" is used excellently! "In the heart" is a little vulgar, who will think about things "outside the heart"?
Mental game is fighting mind, which is your strength! Since becoming a master's advisor, you haven't done anything serious, so you might as well give these captives a try!
At that moment, Daoist Jia asked for an order: "Poor Dao is willing to try!" ”
Jia Daoshi did have a set of thinking about people's hearts, and he first asked the captives to confess a crime of others. If any of the captives dared to say that they didn't know, they would be beheaded! They are already bandits, and they don't even know a single crime of others, so they must be stubborn.
Several accomplices of the same crime are then interrogated separately, using the prisoner's dilemma.
Daoist Jia first explained the rules to the captives:
If a person pleads guilty and testifies to prosecute an accomplice, and the accomplice remains silent, the prosecuting testimony is immediately exonerated and the silent accomplice is sent to "treat his wounds first and then behead himself".
If two people report each other, they are guilty normally;
If both remain silent, they will each be "whipped ten times."
To Jia Daoshi's surprise, none of the captives remained silent, and all of them actively exposed their accomplices.
Daoist Jia was surprised in his heart, and secretly made up his mind: in the future, Poor Dao will study this method of mental warfare!
Sun Yi and Yang Ritian set their ranks according to the size of the prisoners' crimes, prepared to kill a few, expelled a group, and some were sentenced to serve their sentences in the army, and when the term expired or made military merits, they could be naturalized in Wolf Mountain.
