Chapter 168: Admission of prisoners of war
Deciding on the fate of the captured tattered weapons, Wang Zhi looked at the group of horses next to him, among the seizures this time, this group of horses was the most valuable.
Trapped in a small circle, the grumpy horses were restless, and were now being pacified by ten grooms with fodder and cattle.
Only three of the ten grooms had raised horses in large households, and the rest had only tended to large animals such as cattle, and they had been so easy to take care of the dozens of horses they had stolen from the horse thieves, but now more than two hundred horses had come at once, and they were all at once busy.
Walking into the herd of horses, Wang Zhi said to the horsemen who were in a hurry: "I want to set up an animal husbandry bureau, and whoever wants to be the head of the government will enjoy first-class treatment." ”
Wang Zhi doesn't know a few of them, so it's impossible to promote himself, and it's not good to order people casually, so he can only ask them who wants to be.
Hearing this, the ten people who were taking care of the horses were stunned for a moment, and then a lean man shouted loudly: "General, I want to be the chief, I want to be the chief." ”
"Is there anyone else you'd like to nominate yourself?" Wang Zhi glanced at the others.
The others didn't know whether they were timid or felt that they were inferior to this lean man, but no one squeaked, so Wang Zhi appointed this lean man as the director of the Animal Husbandry Bureau, which belongs to the Ministry of Agriculture.
This lean man, called Niu Fei, contrasted sharply with his emaciated size, and according to him, he was born into a family of herders who had raised cattle for the landlords for generations.
After asking him to go to the Ministry of Manpower to select people to form an animal husbandry bureau and choose a place to build a stable, Wang Zhi used a disinfectant gun to disinfect all the horses, and then returned to the place where the captives gathered on the side, and flew high with bamboo dragonflies.
Seeing Wang Zhi flying, the originally quiet captives suddenly became noisy, and most of them had a frightened expression on their faces, could it be that they provoked the immortals this time?
"First of all, let me introduce myself, I am the master of this camp and the general who defeated your army, my name is Wang Zhi." Wang Zhi said loudly with an electric horn.
None of the captives knew the electric horn. Hearing Wang Zhi's voice like thunder, he was even more convinced that he was an immortal, and many people were immediately frightened: "The great immortal spares his life, the great immortal spares his life, the little one doesn't mean to offend the great immortal." That's Shangguan's idea! ”
"It's all quiet, whoever is making noise, kill it."
Wang Zhi hates it the most when others are noisy when he is talking.
As soon as these words came out, the captives were immediately frightened and quieted, and Wang Zhicai continued: "You have been defeated. It's my captive, and the way you treated captives in the past was probably to cut off their heads and take them to receive merit, but I am the master here, and I don't need to receive merit from anyone, so I don't need your head, but your people, to put it bluntly, I want to take you in.
When you were in the official army in the past, not only were you bullied and arbitrarily beaten and scolded by the superiors, but you could only get one or two percent of the fixed amount of money and food every month. There are even arrears from time to time, many of the elderly and children in the family have been starved to death, and even many people have to rely on their wives to go out as secret prostitutes to support them. ”
As soon as Wang Zhi finished saying this, many captives cried directly: "These are all fates, who let us be born in a lowly military family......"
"Do you think it's fate? As a violent group of the state, you have knives and guns in your hands, and you are treated by such people, will you not rebel? It's all lived to this extent. If you don't rebel yet, would you rather be starved to death and freeze to death than dare to rebel? ”
"It's not that we don't dare to rebel, but the families of thousands of families are too powerful, and our ancestors haven't made a noise for generations. But they've all been killed, they've been killed...... "One of the captives cried.
"It's not that they're powerful, it's that you're too weak and don't want to be bullied, so you can only become stronger. My men used to be homeless people who were dying of starvation. After being trained by me for a month, 600 people killed 5,000 of you to a great defeat, surrender to me, you can become stronger, you can eat every meal, which of you is willing to surrender to me? ”
As soon as Wang Zhi's words came out, a captive with his hands tied behind his back immediately struggled to stand up and shouted loudly: "I will, I will, I want to be full, I want to be strong, and I won't be bullied." ”
Led by him, everyone else also shouted "I will, I will", and the sound sounded all day long.
At this time, Wang Zhi felt that the captives below had almost returned to their hearts, after all, they were originally the ones who gave their lives to whoever gave them food, and Wang Zhi promised that it would be enough for them to rebel.
"Do you think that if you are willing to submit to me, you will be able to serve under me? You are just the generals of the defeated army, and you can't even beat the recruits who have only been trained by my men for a month, what qualifications do you have to be soldiers, my soldiers are first-class people who eat meat every day for every meal. ”
Wang Zhi gave everyone another dose of fierce medicine, and when they heard that soldiers could eat meat every day, everyone's first reaction was not to believe it.
"My lord, we are all defeated soldiers, so don't coax us." One captive spoke the minds of others.
Hearing this, Wang Zhi just smiled disdainfully: "Heh, what do you have to be coaxed by me, start the test now, those who pass will become soldiers, and those who don't pass will go to coolies, I have already made a deal with your officials, and they will send your family over immediately to solve your worries." ”
"Can you really bring our family over?" One of the captives asked incredulously, they hadn't been in disbelief enough times today.
"There are some things that you can't lie. Now start the test, those who pass will stay as soldiers, and those who fail will go to the coal mine to dig coal. ”
Coal digging is a hard work and a dangerous job, even if the coal mine here is open-pit because even if it is an open-pit coal mine, digging and digging can collapse and bury all the people below, so it is very appropriate to arrange for these new people to do such things.
The captives also knew the hardships of digging coal, but they had experienced all the hardships, and they did not feel unjust, and only hoped that they would pass the test in a while and become soldiers who were said to be able to eat meat.
While the captives were discussing, Wang Zhi turned to look at Lilia on the ground behind him, and thought to himself, "Lilia, are there any people here who are thinking of escaping or suspicious?" ”
As soon as he finished thinking about this sentence, Lilia's voice appeared in Wang Zhi's mind: "There is no one who wants to escape, but there are two suspicious people." ”
"What's suspicious?" Wang Zhi continued to ask.
"They're Jinyiwei."
"Agent?" Wang Zhi was a little surprised, but then he was relieved, as the secret service department of the Ming Dynasty, although many times it was a tool for the princes of the court to fight for power and profit, but they were still a spy department, spies all over the world in various departments and industries, and the identity of the spies was still hereditary, it is not strange that there are two brocade guards in a military household guard, if there is no one, it is strange.
"Are they spies?"
"It's an agent, except for inheriting the identity of Jinyiwei, they have never seen anyone in Jinyiwei, and they don't know that each other is also Jinyiwei."
"That's it!" Wang Zhi was a little disappointed, he originally wanted to let them set up a secret service department, who knew that they were just ordinary military households, the only difference was that they had a useless Jinyi guard position on their bodies.
Since the other party was such a person, Wang Zhi also had no mind about them, looked at the people below, and announced: "Now start the test, those who can ride horses only need to say that they can ride horses during the test, and they can be exempted from the first two tests." ”
With Wang Zhi's order, the test began, and the test was to untie the rope for the homeless, worried that they would rebel, Wang Zhi went to transfer two more companies to watch them.
This test is different from the previous test of selecting soldiers from the homeless, after all, the homeless people have been hungry for a long time, and the physical foundation is not good, so the standard of the test has been lowered, this time it is a normal test standard, and after the two tests of weightlifting and long-distance running, there is a third item, which is a physical examination, and it is absolutely impossible to let the sick enter the barracks.
There was no such item before, because Wang Zhi did not have a doctor under him, even if he had a barefoot doctor's manual, it was okay to deal with the common cold and fever, but the rest of him was incompetent.
But some time ago, there was a bell doctor among the new homeless people, and the bell doctor was a traveling doctor who treated the people at the bottom in the countryside and villages in ancient times.
The medical skills of the bell doctor are generally taught by the family teacher, and the bell doctor's medical skills are also an important part of traditional Chinese medicine.
However, Wang Zhi recruited a bell doctor this time still has a few brushes, he called Lin Zilai, a native of Yanchuan County, he didn't call this name before, and then because he had no children under his knees, he changed his name, but then he still didn't give birth to a son, so he accepted an apprentice, once their master and apprentice went to the clinic, and when they returned to the village, they found that the entire village was burned, and the villagers were caught and arrested, leaving only their master and apprentice to escape. Immediately after that, the residents of the nearby villages and towns also fled because of famine or thieves, and he had to flee with his apprentices, relying on a little medical skills, and survived with difficulty, and then heard that there were people in Yanchang County who recruited homeless people, thinking that with his own medical skills, he could also eat and eat, so he followed the homeless team.
Wang Zhi asked him why he didn't stay in the county seat, with his medical skills, he could always make a living if he stayed in the county seat.
His reply was: "It's not that I don't want to enter, but I can't get in, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate don't want us to enter the city at all." ”
With the knowledge of a layman, Wang Zhi appointed Lin Zilai as the director of the newly established Health Bureau after taking the examination for Lin Zilai's medical examination, and after learning that he recognized some words, he also gave him a barefoot doctor's manual and a set of encyclopedias of traditional Chinese medicine.
After getting these two divine books, Lin Zilai knelt down for Wang Zhi at that time, and then he wanted to apprentice, and after being rejected by Wang Zhi, he should be allegiance.
Thinking of Lin Zilai, Wang Zhi thought of those wounded soldiers, he should be treating the wounded soldiers at this time, and he should also go to see the wounded soldiers. (To be continued.) )
