Basically, from the time of crossing, Xu Lie and Yang reformed to determine a strategy. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info for the captured prisoners, you can't let them go, of course, as a civilized person, you can't kill prisoners casually.

The best way to do this is to "use it for me"!

The captured ordinary soldiers are easy to convert and easy to use for me. They are, after all, ordinary people, and poor. As long as the treatment is slightly better, or a little coercion, it is basically not a problem to turn these people into their own soldiers.

For people with bad habits and blood debts on their hands, Xu Lie borrowed from the practices of later generations, two words: "labor reform"! There are a lot of buildings on the mountain that need to be repaired, and Xu Lie is ready to build the road from Baoqi Village to Salamander Village immediately, although Xu Lie can handle cement and steel, but ordinary laborers have to be made by these people. For those who are reformed through labor, Xu Lie will also divide and conquer, and for those who are willing to accept transformation, it is not impossible to give a bowl of braised pork every three or five days, and it is also feasible to give some pocket money during the New Year's holidays.

For the captured grassroots officers of the Qing army, as long as there are no vices or blood debts, Xu Lie basically adheres to the policy of reforming and using them. The reason is that it is too difficult to train a qualified officer. And this kind of grassroots officers who have several years of experience in leading troops and have even participated in or commanded many operations, as long as Xu Lie "brainstorms" them, Xu Lie believes that it will not be particularly difficult for these people to grow up.

Of course, it is not easy for these people to follow Xu Lie, after all, as officers, most of them are people with backgrounds. It's just that Xu Lie doesn't want to take back all these officers for his own use, so he can collect some of them.

Therefore, in the next two days, Xu Lie not only organized the captured officers to visit the construction of the Baoqian Village, houses, roads, machinery (old-fashioned sewing machines, etc., the family set up a sewing and repair society), fortifications, steel bars, steel pipes, cement, grain, firearms, salt, etc., in addition to the most core secrets, the things that ordinary soldiers in the cottage knew, let these officers see, but Xu Lie also answered their questions.

Especially after seeing several front-line fortifications in Baoqian Village, all the officers understood that not to mention their own hundreds of people, even if they came a few thousand, they would not be able to break through the defense of Baoqian Village.

Subsequently, Xu Lie talked to several officers above the general level, and clearly expressed his hope that they would join the Mengshan Army. At the same time, Xu De, Cao Fu and others talked to the platoon officers or officers at the level of the shed in order to win them over.

If an officer wants to join the Mengshan Army, he must do it voluntarily. The reason is that these guys will also command the troops in the future, if they are not voluntary and have two hearts, then Xu Lie is ready to be a firefighter at any time.

About a week before and after, Xu Lie finally got rid of the captured Qing army officers. A total of 7 generals were captured, of which 4 were willing to stay in Baoqian Mountain. The 12 platoon officers and 40 tents who were captured basically agreed to stay in the village.

Not to mention the others, in terms of the command ability and plasticity of these people, they have surpassed the officer corps of the Mengshan Army before.

Yuxian was killed, but there are still a few officers on the list, one is Xiong Liang, the garrison of Yizhou, this guy now hates Sun Qicai deeply. Xiong Liang is unable to surrender to the Mengshan Army because his family is in Jinan, so this guy's life in the calf village has always been at the lowest level. In addition, there was one guerrilla and two garrisons, both of whom Yuxian brought from Jinan.

These four people, Xu Lie never thought of plotting against them, these guys, as middle and high-level officers in the Qing army, belonged to the vested interests of the original system, and it was quite difficult to transform them. In the same way, they have formed some fixed ideas in their minds, which may be more troublesome to change than the lure of profit. Besides, these guys are all forty or fifty years old, and their plasticity is worse than that of the bandits holding calves, so Xu Lie is ready to let these four people go.

But that doesn't mean you can just let people go. Xu Lie asked the four of them to jointly nominate two captured entourage, go home and get silver tickets or silver, yes, Xu Lie is ready to let them ransom people. The requirements are not high, the guerrillas take 2,000 taels of silver and leave, and the garrison can leave with 1,000 taels of silver.

What really makes Yuxian feel happy is that there are several master-level characters in the army, such as Yuxian's master, now that Yuxian is dead, that is, his patron is dead, which means that this Shandong realm can't stay anymore, so he has to go back to Shaoxing. It's just that it's okay to go back as a prisoner? Could it be that the government and Yuxian's relatives will not pursue themselves?

Therefore, this master named Li Jun, who is only 35 years old, was the first to pledge his allegiance to Xu Lie. Of course, this guy is also a showman, and after hearing that the big boss of the calf village is also a showman, he seems to have found an organization, and he has a bosom friend in his life, and he immediately leaned on.

Mao, I didn't expect the cheap dad to have such appeal, and immediately, Xu Lie handed over all the things about transforming these scholars to Xu Lie.

The biggest gain is Yuan Yong.

Yuan Yong was a Jinshi in the thirteenth year of Guangxu, and he didn't have much future in the ten years of his career, and a mountainous county like Mengyin could only be regarded as a third-class county in the Dragon Kingdom. Coupled with Xu Lie's previous experience of giving him two shots without saying a word, he calmed down a lot when he encountered trouble.

Now, his question is more complicated. Yuxian was killed, and he was responsible. Because he is the only official in this crackdown, and it is within his boundary. Therefore, Yuxian wants to take him down, and it is not a strong rhetoric, but something that can be detailed. Yuxian may be able to save his life if he takes him, but his official position is 100% useless.

Now that Yuxian is dead, he is actually happy in his heart. Nima, how do you act like a straw bag, it's really retribution.

But now trouble is also coming, Yuxian is dead, and he has become a prisoner. For so-called Qing officials and literati like them, there is a saying that starvation is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big matter!

Correct, the old literati had their own backbone, although most people are afraid of death now, and there are many who surrender to the enemy, but if they want to return to the mainstream system, they cannot surrender. Now that he is captured, although he has not surrendered yet, this capture is also tantamount to "out of line", especially in the end, after Xu Lie let him out, how could he explain to Shangguan?

Even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain it clearly.

But even so, it doesn't mean that Xu Lie can easily let Yuan Yong comply.

Xu Lie is in dire need of talents, especially those like Yuan Yong with a Jinshi culture. Therefore, once Xu Lie has his heart, the means are also diverse.

Xu Lie first found some books for Yuan Yong, one type of books is Dongdong like "Qing History Manuscript", the second is Dongdong like "The Rise of Great Powers", and the third is some biographies of people, such as "The Biography of Yuan Shikai".

One can imagine the bombardment effect of these books on the brains of an old literati and an old bureaucrat in the spring of 1898!
