Chapter 104: Take Zhongcheng and get a wife and daughter
"Okay, on meritorious deeds!" Xu Hong said on horseback as a soldier on the school grounds.
"Wow. ”
"This time the army gathered in Zhongcheng and took it directly, all relying on the bloody battles of the soldiers, but unfortunately some heroic souls have left us forever, they are our heroes, everyone closes their eyes and mourns sixty numbers. ”
Xu Hong was the first to close his eyes, and then many soldiers lowered their heads and closed their eyes, full of thoughts about these comrades-in-arms and blessings for their deaths, all of which were brought to another world with the silence in their hearts.
"After the ceremony, please give a credit sheet. ”
"According to the military merits and the number of enemies killed, the meritorious deeds are rewarded, and the military salary and food are requested. ”
"No. ”
A few strong soldiers came out with a few boxes, the box was opened and looked, good guy, it was slowly full of gold and silver treasures, food and forage, and the soldiers present were all shocked, and then they were called forward in turn to grab a handful back, the soldiers were very satisfied, Xu Hong saw their reactions, and nodded secretly in his heart.
"Hey, hey, it's a really good thing to take the treasury of Zhongguo and distribute it to the soldiers to give it to the soldiers. ”
"The whole army went back to the camp, rested for the day, and wrote letters to their families. ”
"Wow. ”
Then all the soldiers returned to the barracks satisfied, there was no family to sleep, there were family members who wrote letters, and those who could not write letters asked others to do it for them, and the beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 gold, Xu Hong knew this truth, so he would let the soldiers carry out this ritual regularly, and only in this way could they no longer be numb.
"It's not a stubborn rule, but a sense of ritual, so that people won't fall into the dark, let alone become numb, and will retain a trace of humanity, and after a long time, it will make the soldier's psychology better. ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of another way.
"Hey, why don't you carry out psychological intervention for the soldiers? Some soldiers are not very adaptable, and give them appropriate psychological intervention on a regular basis, so that they can defeat other troops on this?
Xu Hong has always been a doer, he immediately invited some Confucian students, some Confucian teachers from the city, explained their meaning, these Confucian teachers praised their benevolence, of course, what he told them, is not psychological intervention of these words, but ask them to explain some of the meaning of killing the enemy, so that they are wrapped in morality, the soldiers will not be lonely, and their hearts will be much more stable.
"Don't worry, I will send you the monthly salary, and I will ask you to stay in the city in the future, and at the appointed time, I will go to the barracks to explain the way of the saint's benevolence, of course, for everyone's safety, every time I go I will send soldiers to protect you nearby. ”
"Well, thank you, General. The Confucian teachers all smiled and saluted.
A few days later, the first batch of psychological intervention went up, although the explanation is not professional, but in this era, it can be regarded as an advanced practice, if you want to make the soldiers have both blood and humanity, this means is indispensable, otherwise, once there is no humanity, there is no point in surviving, live well, sometimes fighting is for better survival, essential because it is survival.
Soon, Xu Hong's method was effective, and a soldier commander told him that the soldiers below were obviously much easier to manage, and there were fewer other troubles and fights, and he was more attentive during drills.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'll just say, there will definitely be an effect, what has been proven by modern medicine will never be nothing, let alone groundless, do it well, it will show results in the future." ”
Xu Hong will look at the farther future, at the moment it is only these cities, and when the territory is larger and the number of soldiers is larger, the scope of psychological intervention will be broader, and after a long time, the benefits of these measures will be shown.
"Sure enough, when you see a good measure, you immediately go to learn, reflect on yourself in the bad place, and improvise in the process of implementation, and eventually there will be a harvest, this kind of harvest is not simply obtained by relying on your own diligence and intelligence, and assisted by perseverance and patience. ”
He stretched his waist and saw that everything was almost busy, so he returned to Zhongcheng, the mansion that originally belonged to the lord of the city, and after he ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, he immediately won the support of the people of the city, and quickly pacified the city.
As for the subordinates who originally belonged to the mansion, he all dismissed them, let them go to farming, and could not enter the government for the rest of their lives, and issued such an order, for safety reasons, after all, no one wants to, threatened by these people, they are familiar with the terrain, once they are used by bad people, the consequences will be very serious, after a long time, if it is not good, it will be used by bad people, and this situation must be cut off from the beginning.
"Hmm... Sleeping, a new quilt, just warm. Xu Hong closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
But when he was sleeping, he felt a little unstable, something was moving around him, and then something warm seemed to come in, next to him, and directly woke him up.
"What's that?"
Xu Hong opened his eyes and saw the mother and daughter, beside him, looking at himself pitifully, as if he was very afraid of himself.
"Don't be afraid, general, I am Liu Ji's mother, this is his sister, our mother and daughter have no support, I heard that the general is kind-hearted, so I want to seek refuge from the general, and I hope the general will agree." ”
"This... I'm afraid something is wrong, you are ... ”
"The general should not mention the past again, if the general does not agree, we will have to leave, but the future is bleak, in order not to be humiliated, we can only commit suicide. ”
As soon as the words fell, the mother and daughter were about to leave crying.
Xu Hongyu couldn't bear to hold the two of them, and then shook his head at them, and the mother and daughter were overjoyed and threw themselves into his arms.
In this way, Xu Hong had to accompany them, and two hours passed happily, and after Xu Hong got up, he settled the two of them and lived here, and gave them some money and rations, so that they could recruit people, and did not allow soldiers and officials to disturb them, so that he left with peace of mind.
"Hey... I didn't want to do this, but they all came by themselves, and I was also kind, I couldn't bear to let my two lives leave like this, and I was moved by compassion, I hope they will live well in the future. ”
