When more than 100,000 captives were first taken into the mountains, they did not know what the explosives package was, and because of the power of gunpowder, they worked hard.

But when everyone worked for a month and really got paid, their enthusiasm immediately changed.

Especially Tang Yan collected so much postage, almost monopolized the logistics industry, was rich and generous, and the wages he gave were not low.

As long as everyone is not lazy, the money earned every month is higher than that of being a big soldier, and the enthusiasm of everyone is higher.

Later, some work such as building weapons and making military uniforms was handed over to the captives, and they were paid by piece.

At this moment, everyone still has the intention of running away, everyone works hard and wants to earn more money than others.

Because Wan Shanjun has long promised everyone that as long as the generalissimo builds a city, according to the roster, everyone whose hometown is that city can leave here, go home to reunite with their relatives, and bring the wages they earn to their families.

Later, Tang Yan laid down a city and really let go of the prisoners whose hometown was that city.

Now, the captives who remain in the mountains are more motivated to work.

Even many of those who were put back felt that Marshal Wanshan was so good to the prisoners, and it must be better for his own subordinates.

So they went to the recruit recruitment point and signed up to rejoin the army.

And the news of the captives returning home has to spread slowly.

The other forces all knew that Marshal Wanshan did not kill prisoners, and he was very good to prisoners, and he was even paid for doing some work.

At this moment, when the soldiers of other forces faced the Wanshan army, they began to surrender as soon as they took advantage of the disadvantage, and they had no intention of resisting at all.

In these years, the soldiers did not have political lessons, and their loyalty to the commander was not so high. As long as you surrender, the worst treatment is to be a prisoner, which is equivalent to finding a job to earn money, then who is willing to work hard!

This made the Wanshan army like a bamboo, but it was also an unexpected joy.

Interestingly, there were too many prisoners later, and everyone surrendered sincerely. In addition, the Wanshan Army has gradually grown, and there are not so many people. The captives could choose to join the Wanshan Army directly, and no one even stopped them from going home.

However, these are all later words, and the matter of bringing the captives into the mountain was handed over to Guo Jiang, and Tang Yan was now busy appeasing his own soldiers.

From the Wanshan Army seizing Jinshan Mansion to the present, these battles have been fought to overwhelm the other party with absolute superiority, and there are not many casualties.

This time it's even more amazing.

20,000 people against 200,000 people, not to mention the total annihilation of the other side, only some of their own side were injured in the process of chasing, and none of the soldiers were killed.

It is definitely a miracle in the history of warfare.

The soldiers were jubilant, and they could not see the sluggish state of the previous days.

Tang Yan waved his hand and began to give bonuses to everyone, and those who were injured would also show that they would not be given subsidies for their injuries.

After accumulating postage for several years, Tang Yan was so generous to his captives, let alone his own people.

Tang Yan's most generous place is actually the death pension for the soldiers.

She would ask the soldiers to write down in advance who the beneficiary was, and if she died, she would give the beneficiary a large sum of money, enough to live the rest of his life.

Tang Yan learned this trick from Qin Shi Huang.

Although she is a science student, she doesn't have to memorize history. But he was born with a good memory, and Tang Yan can remember the historical knowledge that the high school teacher tells like a story.

Historically, the army of the Qin Dynasty was particularly brave and not afraid of death because of the good work done in the aftermath.

Because the soldiers knew that even if he died in battle, his family would be able to live well. Naturally, there are no scruples when it comes to fighting.

However, Tang Yan remembered that it seemed that Qin Shi Huang only gave death compensation to the victorious soldiers, but not to the defeated.

I can't remember if it's like this, anyway, Tang Yan didn't completely copy the policies of the Qin Dynasty, he was very wealthy, and those who were defeated were also given a pension, that is, the amount was halved.

It is precisely because Tang Yan ensured the aftermath work well, so the newly recruited soldiers, facing the desperate situation of 20,000 VS 200,000, were only demoralized, and no one directly became deserters.

I am afraid that bonuses and pensions will be coveted by others, so the amount standard has been formulated a long time ago, and it is very clear.

If the soldiers found that the amount of money they received was different from the regulations, they could directly call Tang Yan to report it.

Tang Yan has not received a report call so far, and no soldier has the audacity to call to harass her.

The aftermath took a few days to deal with.

More than 20,000 hometowns were captured by Liuzhou and other six cities, and they were also scattered and joined the defenders in various parts of Wanshan.

As for the remaining officers, including the general Zhang Hu, they are not very good talents.

So Tang Yan didn't care very much, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it personally, so he handed over the person to Si Muyu and let the military advisor decide.

A few days later, the second wave of the imperial court's army, 150,000 troops led by General Li Fei, also arrived.

When Li Fei heard that none of Zhang Hu's army had been captured, he was stunned.

The captives were all imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Mountains, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they needed ships and soldiers from Shanshui stations to attack them.

Li Fei thought about it and felt that he didn't have the ability to save the prisoners of Zhang Hu's army.

I also felt that all 200,000 people on the other side had been captured, so I should not act rashly with my 150,000 people.

He made an appointment with the generals of the third group of troops and stationed 20 miles outside Jinshan Mansion.

Si Muyu also transferred the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Liuzhou City to Jinshan Mansion, and now there are nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses in Jinshan Mansion.

But everyone can only watch Li Feijun watch, and they can't act rashly.

Gunpowder only works wonders when attacking and defending a city. In the plains of hundreds of thousands of horses, gunpowder is just an ordinary and powerful weapon.

So the two sides inside and outside the city confronted each other, but neither dared to start a war easily.

Tang Yan felt that it was not a matter to continue like this.

After the other party waited for reinforcements, it was an army of 300,000.

The 300,000 troops attacked Jinshan Mansion together, and if they were not frightened by the explosives, it would be a fierce battle between the two sides.

At this time, Si Muyu came to Tang Yan and handed Tang Yan a map.

Tang Yan opened it and saw that it was the spies who had found the place where Li Fei's military camp had stored food.

I heard Si Muyu say: "Lord, tonight we will send someone to burn their grain and grass." Although they can directly transfer grain from Taobao and will not be short of food, it can frustrate their spirit. ”

In Si Muyu's eyes, this is better than nothing, and it is better than continuing to stalemate.

But listening to Tang Yan's ears is like listening to fairy sounds.

She grabbed Si Muyu's shoulder and laughed like a fool for a long time.

Si Muyu was already stunned by laughter.

It took a long time to hear Tang Yan say: "I don't need to act tonight, I have another good plan." What a pity that food is such a precious thing, it is burned! ”

Although Si Muyu didn't know what Tang Yan was going to do, his dignity as a strategist didn't allow him to ask, so he could only go back and guess for himself.

Seeing the old man go back with a tangled face, Tang Yan laughed twice.

Although the next means are not very glamorous.

But as long as it works!

Although she has a moral bottom line, the bottom line is not so high. As long as we can end this troubled world as soon as possible and give everyone a peaceful life, what tricks can't be used?
