"Ladies and gentlemen, a large population also means more consumption, and it also means popularity, so that you will not be helpless when you go overseas, haven't you always felt that the population going overseas is sparse? Isn't it normal to bring more people over now? ”

"It's the artisans who just migrate, killing two birds with one stone."

The more Chen Zhang spoke, the more excited he became.

Why didn't he expect that the craftsman would drag his family and recruit one, and it would cost more money to drag his family and lead the family, and it would cost more money to recruit soldiers.

Perfect.

Liu Fucai opened his mouth and finally swallowed

"My lord, what should we do with the nearly 2,000 officers and soldiers we have captured?"

"Officers and Soldiers Prisoners"

Chen Zhang was stunned for a moment, if it wasn't for Liu Fucai reminding him, he would have almost forgotten about catching the prisoners of officers and soldiers, and touched his head

"What should I do under normal circumstances?"

"The normal way to deal with it is to take a captured captive and either kill him or take him in."

Thinking of this, he paused again

"It's just that if we go to Ninghai County and go overseas, these officers and soldiers may not necessarily go with us, their home is here, in Jinnan Prefecture, so I say that it is better to slaughter them with a knife, so that after we are released, the officers and soldiers will send them to hunt us down."

Sure enough, it is not a poisonous husband, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers will kill when they say they will kill, and I have to say that it is indeed very powerful

Chen Zhang's finger tapped

"Killing prisoners is ominous, these officers and soldiers are also pitiful people after all, in this way, you go and say to those prisoners, if you want to join our barbarian army, you can join, they are officers and soldiers after all, and it should be easier for them to become soldiers than ordinary people, and all the rest will be pulled by me to do coolies"

"Coolies?"

"That's right, it's just coolies, otherwise would it be for them to eat and drink for nothing?"

"What kind of coolie is that?"

"Whatever, look at where there are people in Huaxing County. If you want to be in the mine, you can pull it over to mine, but it really can't be done. Tell them to let them go when we leave, they're all poor people."

Chen Zhang shook his head gently.

In addition to the generals, which of the big-headed soldiers are powerful these years

It's all poor people.

"It's me who understands"

Liu Fucai's brows furrowed, he felt that the lord was too merciful?

"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you, I've got a headache, anyway, I'll give you a week, get everything ready, and after all the supplies are ready, we'll leave here."

"Obey the orders of the Lord."

Everyone rushed out, Liu Fucai sighed leisurely, and before he could speak, Shi and Zhao Zhi jumped up

"Why didn't you let me speak just now, the lord actually said that he would release all the officers and soldiers who were unwilling to surrender, this is undoubtedly the return of the tiger to the mountain"

"You are wrong, this shows how wise the lord is"

Wang Degui laughed

"Wise, you mean to say"

"More than 2,000 officers and soldiers say more and say less, and they can't afford to turn up any kind of wind and waves, but the lord can establish an excellent prestige for the lord by doing this, and the medical battalion has spread among the soldiers, which is enough to show that the lord loves the soldiers like a son, and even if he is injured, he will provide free treatment for the soldiers to gain the hearts of the soldiers."

"Second, this time the officers and soldiers are released, but also to convey a message to the officers and soldiers, if you meet on the battlefield, as long as you surrender, the lord will not wantonly kill you, and you can save your life, do you think that in this case, the next time you meet the officers and soldiers, those officers and soldiers will fight to the death with us, or resist a little, and immediately disarm and surrender as soon as you see that the situation is not right."

I have to say that Liu Degui's thinking is indeed more sleek, and Liu Fucai is better at strategy in comparison

Stone. Zhao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately slapped his thigh

"So that's the case, if it were me, I would know that surrender would not die, I would definitely surrender, it turned out that the lord was fighting this idea, we were thinking too much, we were thinking superficially."

Liu Fucai's eyes lit up even more, touched his beard and smiled

"This is a Yang scheme,"

"I just felt that the lord was kind, but now it seems that the lord really thinks more eloquently and more humanly than us, and the lord is also wise."

If Chen Zhang knew what they thought, he would definitely be so angry that he spit out a mouthful of old blood directly

What is the so-called great wisdom, he just doesn't want to kill people as a modern person.

In the next week, Huaxing County was very lively, to be precise, it seemed that it was never happy

Chen Zhang captured Huaxing County and robbed the Hua family and the money of the major dignitaries and nobles, and sprinkled it out like water.

All this money was sprinkled on ordinary people

。 All of them smiled

The consumption of so many people can make some small traders and hawkers make a lot of money every day, and as for the ordinary people, they will not be left behind, the barbarian army needs to buy a lot of things, and they need people, all of them hire these people to do things, and they are all hired to do things.

I don't know if I think that the barbarian army is not a rogue, but the officers and soldiers of the ruler here

meanwhile

The recruitment of craftsmen is also very smooth, as a ninth-rate craftsman these years, there are many people who can't survive, and now when they hear that they can be recruited, they can also drag their families with them, even if they are a little dissatisfied with Kou Chen Zhang, and even afraid, and finally under the pressure of reality, they gritted their teeth. If you come to vote with your family, you can still live with the Liukou, and if you don't follow the Liukou, you can only starve to death and sell your sons and daughters, I believe that many people will choose this choice.

This is also the sadness of the little people, it seems that the little people have the right to autonomy and can make many choices to decide their own fate, but in fact they don't have it at all"

The right and opportunity to decide on fate have sealed almost all the paths they can choose, and there are only a few paths for them to choose, and finally say who do you blame for not working hard?

After a large amount of money was spilled, all kinds of materials were almost piled up

The number of auxiliaries was insufficient, and recruitment continued

There is not much else in Huaxing County, but there are many poor people who can't afford to eat. Soon when Cheng waited for Chen Zhang to find out, his team had become extremely large.

More than 3,000 soldiers were recruited, and the number of auxiliaries reached nearly 1,000, making it a full army of 4,000 men

At the same time, this does not count the number of various artisan battalions, and the recruitment has reached four or five hundred, and the number of people with families is 1,000, almost reaching the level of 5,000 people.

In fact, 1,000 auxiliaries and 1,000 logistics were used as artisan battalions in the 5,000-strong army.

The real number of soldiers is 3,000, which is extremely unreasonable.

The number of artisan battalions is simply too many.

Vice President Liu also asked the lord Chen Zhang for instructions on whether to cut some, but Chen Zhang vetoed these

Craftsmen are all treasures whether they are useful or not

In every sense of the word, it is indeed a treasure.

Not only can you build all kinds of houses, but all kinds of construction techniques are also treasures, and consuming food is also a kind of treasure

The originally scheduled time of one week was not enough at all, so I had to stay in Huaxing County again to carry out reorganization and improvement.

The artisan battalion was organized into 10 groups of 100 people, and their families were also integrated into the logistics battalion

Women can be responsible for washing clothes and cooking, and children can also do chores, all in a militarized manner

"Lord, it's here"

Chen Zhang lay leisurely on the boss's chair eating fruit, he was completely rotten, he could live one day at a time, it was impossible to work hard, he just wanted to die early and go home.

Liu Fucai hurriedly ran in, his face quite solemn. "Is something wrong?"

"According to the report of the scout, we found that a group of officers and soldiers appeared in the Chengyan area, not only that, but there were also two officers and soldiers in front of Huaxing County, if nothing else, it should be the three commanders sent by Yang Dadu, who are attacking Huaxing County on three sides, we must escape quickly, once we are flanked, we will be trapped in Huaxing County."

"What, the three major commanders actually jointly besieged Huaxing County, and the Governor of Jinnan Mansion Yang really refused to let us go"

Chen Zhang was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and it was understandable

Yang Dadu, the governor of Jinnan Prefecture, sent soldiers to besiege and broke through Huaxing County himself, but if the other party did not react, it would be a big mistake

So what should I do now?

Do you flee immediately or use Huaxing County as a base to resist desperately?

After Huaxing County was captured, because it was Liu Gui and others who joined forces inside and outside, there was not much loss, and the defensive equipment and engineering props on the city wall were still there.

In addition, during this period of recruitment, led by the city wall, as long as there is no phenomenon of internal and external cooperation, it is no problem to stick to it for a month.

Just if so.

I'm afraid there are some difficulties if you want to die

"Liu Fucai, what do you think we should do now? Do you flee immediately or stick to the city? ”

Liu Fucai was shocked and frowned, this is a very difficult choice.

"According to my thoughts, the lord should flee immediately and break through the encirclement, after all, the three commanders are menacing this time"

"If we really want to break through, the logistics department and the craftsman department must be cut, and we can only flee quickly with the soldiers, after all, there are too many people, we march slowly, and once we are caught in the middle of the road, it will be even more dead."

"Got it"

Chen Zhang nodded.

Liu Fucai's idea is very simple, if he wants to escape, he must flee with the elite, like the personnel of the logistics department, as well as the newly recruited craftsmen who drag their families to the mouth, once they march, the speed will be very slow. At this time, what should be given up is to be abandoned.

Chen Zhang's eyes lit up, and he shook his head and said

"The logistics department and the craftsman department were just recruited by us, and now we will abandon them when we encounter a little danger, I am afraid that no one will follow us in the future, so I will not abandon them"

"My lord, but if we don't abandon them, our marching route will become very slow, and we will not be able to break through the encirclement at that time."

"Then don't break through the encirclement"

Chen Zhang raised his head and said word by word

"I'm just waiting for him in this Huaxing County, I want to see if these three commanders have the ability to break through this Huaxing County. Of course, if they have the ability to find someone like Liu Gui and Zhang Bin, who can cooperate with the inside and outside, then they will be unlucky for me. ”

"Or do you have no faith?"

Chen Zhang's eyes were half-squinted, and he said word by word

Liu Fucai's breath was short, he gritted his teeth lightly, and nodded emphatically, "Obey the orders of the lord"

Although his first choice was to flee quickly with his soldiers, since the lord had already made a choice, he naturally complied.

He believed that the lord would never be invincible and presumptuous, and perhaps this time the lord also had things and thoughts that they didn't know

。 After Liu Fucai left, Chen Zhang breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down

"Didn't you really expect the three commanders to finally come? I was still thinking just now, it is impossible for Yang Dadu, the governor of Jinnan Prefecture, to watch me capture Huaxing County and sit idly by, and now that it is finally here, it is best to be in Huaxing County compared to sending troops to abscond."

"When the time comes, when the army comes, I will shout loudly on the city wall, and then I will rush to the crown in anger, jump down and fight with the enemy for 300 rounds, and the probability of being killed will not be greatly increased, and then in this case, the other Liu Fucai and others will have some pity."

Thinking about it, there is no way to do it, after all, in the troubled times of the Dachang Empire, if they hadn't met themselves, maybe they would have turned into a pile of bones

Of course, if the situation is not right, they can still be evacuated on their own, and there is no need to stay and take pictures with themselves.

Chen Zhang also thought that maybe he would just stay in this Dachang Empire, at least he was still a rogue now, and there was no problem with eating, drinking, and lying down, but he really couldn't do it if he was allowed to burn, kill and loot

The most important thing is that compared to the Dachang Empire, in reality he still has his own family, his own relatives.

The news that the three commanders were about to besiege Huaxing County was not hidden, and it soon spread instantly under the spread of people with intentions, and everyone in Huaxing County was in danger among the consciousness of the entire Huaxing County.

In the eyes of some people, this time the counteroffensive of the government will recover Huaxing County, and all the people should rejoice.

Waiting for the government's rescue to eliminate the rogues in one fell swoop,

But in fact, the entire Huaxing County fell into a strange state, "Have you heard? The three commanders of Jinnan Province want to besiege Huaxing County and deal with the barbarian army"

In one farmer's household, an old man frowned, knocked his cigarette pouch twice on the table, and let out a long breath

The young man on the side shuddered

"True or false, if the government really recovers Huaxing County, do you say that the fields we just sent from the barbarian army will be handed back? We have just ploughed the ground in addition to the grass, and we are just waiting to plant the seeds, and we will be able to harvest. It's taken away, so what do we do? ”

The old man frowned, what a dream it was for a peasant family to own land, and opened his mouth

"What else can I do? We can only pray that the barbarian army can defeat the government, but if it doesn't work, we can only put the fields first, and then talk about it after the government comes, if the fields can be given to us, even if we pay more taxes, we are willing, if it really can't work. Then I can only work for the landlord anymore."

"These damned people are all corrupt officials, and the barbarians said that the reason why we are so poor and have no land is that they have exploited all the land, and they have tried to collect high rents, forcing us to live"

"It is we who feed them, not them who feed us"

"Enough is enough, don't talk nonsense, the people don't fight with the officials"
