Chapter 351: Transformation of Ji County
Seeing Jiang Wei outside the city, he knelt directly after dismounting, and the county commander of Ji County, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, was not idle.
I hurriedly sent someone to prepare.
What to prepare? Of course, they are preparing to reward the three armies, can they still be prepared to die together?
He was already weak-willed to resist, and even planned to offend the Jiang family when necessary, and if he sold Jiang Wei, he would surrender to save his life, but at this time, Jiang Wei knelt down, and he would not have other ideas.
The clever county magistrate also arranged for many nurses to stand guard on both sides of the road near the city gate, holding wine, food, cloth and finances.
Among them, there are also many young women, some are prostitutes in the city, and some are domestic slaves and maidservants raised by large families, in order to express the "welcome" of the people of Ji County to the Han Heavenly Soldiers.
Of course, these are all large families with arrangements, after all, for the ordinary middle and lower class people and yeoman farmers in this place, they don't feel that their lives will change much because of their different affiliations.
After years of turmoil, this place has changed hands several times, and the life of the people at the bottom has not been much better, not to mention the worst time, and the best is just barely starving to death.
Naturally, it is impossible to expect this part of the people to take the initiative to "eat pot pulp to welcome the king" now.
In fact, even these big families are very uneasy in their hearts.
The army that conquered the city has always needed "labor army supplies", if Liu Chan is not satisfied with their arrangement, he will do it himself when the time comes...... I'm afraid the scene won't be so good-looking.
They didn't know much about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was rumored to be brave, but they were all too familiar with the practices of other leading generals.
Forcibly pulling the women in the city to "work the army" and "borrowing" some wine, food and clothing, it seems that this kind of thing is not even looting at all.
Even the history books will not spend an extra sum for such a trivial matter, and the generals who lead the army will not be guilty of affecting the morale of the troops under their command for this kind of thing, and the vast majority of them will turn a blind eye.
There are not a few who deliberately connive, and even join directly into it themselves.
When the time comes, if your wife and daughter are taken care of, you will have to be troublesome, so it is better to take the initiative to offer people as soon as the city opens, which is good for everyone.
……
The city gate was wide open, and in front of him was Meng Yan, who led the team into the city and quickly took over the important points of the city defense.
Then Liu Chan and the flattered Jiang Wei walked in, surrounded by the Red Star Army, which had strict military discipline and marched at the same pace.
Fang was already shocked when he was far away, but now that he was closer, Jiang Wei was even more curious about the amazement of these princes' own soldiers.
With such strict military discipline and the same pace as a puppet, how could it be done without extremely strict and ruthless military law?
However, in this way, the soldier will inevitably be tortured by high pressure to the point of losing his energy and spirit, and become a numb and thoughtless tool of killing.
As a matter of fact, what can be done is already a very clever method of training and managing the army.
But the roar he heard just now was not something that could be emitted by some numb killing tool......
But now that Jiang Wei has become one of the captains himself, he naturally has the opportunity to understand what mysteries are hidden in this at zero distance.
In addition to Jiang Wei, those who are curious about these elites are also the children of big families in Ji County who were arranged to come over to greet them.
They thought about all kinds of possibilities, and in the worst case, maybe they had less money and food, fewer women, and not enough for the army, which angered them how to further compromise and avoid conflicts.
In the best case, the army led by the crown prince Liu Chan is worthy of his father's reputation of benevolence and virtue, and after receiving money and food, women can really be strictly restrained and will not have many incidents.
However, the big households in Ji County, who thought they had taken into account various situations, never expected that their preparations would not be able to be sent.
The first soldiers who entered the city were wary and were in a hurry to take over the important points of the city.
But the soldiers who came in the back were even more outrageous than those in front, and the people in front could at least see the regretful role in their eyes.
Obviously, out of helplessness, he hurried to various places under the leadership of the general.
But now these soldiers are ...... It's like you can't see the money and food they give.
As for those women who took the initiative to step forward, they would all be subjected to cold scrutiny, and they were so shocked that they hurriedly retreated, and they no longer dared to be presumptuous.
These big households in Ji County, who were already worried in their hearts, not only did not feel at ease at this time, but muttered even more in their hearts.
What is this for? You don't want to directly loot the whole city, or even slaughter the city, right? There's no reason for that...... They didn't do anything, and besides, Jiang Jialang was very appreciative of the prince?
The incomprehensible situation of these people is actually taken for granted in the eyes of the Red Star Army soldiers.
The laws of the Red Star Army seem to be lenient when taken out, but the law enforcement is extremely strict, and it can be said that there are laws that must be followed.
Some militaries with much stricter military laws seem to be guilty of killing their heads at every turn, but in fact, in order to take into account the morale of the army as a whole, they often open up their eyes when enforcing the law for various reasons.
But this has never existed in the Red Star Army.
If you say that you are not allowed to take every brick and tile from the people, then as long as you take it, you will be dealt with by military law.
They are not paid well, and there is no need to violate military law for this petty profit.
As for these women who approached on their own initiative......
Before considering whether they were men or women, handsome or ugly, the soldiers of the Red Star Army gave more priority to whether they were assassins or not, and whether they were planning to assassinate the prince now.
After the Chengdu assassination incident, the most sensitive are these Red Star Army soldiers, and since then, Li Er has especially strengthened their "anti-assassination training", and the prince's safety is greater than the sky.
Mo said that in this kind of small scene, even if these women came naked and walked over, their first reaction was whether the other party wanted to attract their attention to assassination......
So much so that sometimes Liu Chan couldn't cry or laugh, but they still went their own way and didn't feel anything wrong at all.
After entering the county government, Liu Chan immediately began to understand the large and small power groups, money and grain reserves, and city defense situation in Ji County.
At the same time, the reserve members of the Red Star Army were sent to personally lead other soldiers to scatter and go to the county town to preach the "Han policy" and the temporary arrangements for Ji County.
Even the people at the lowest level are among the preaching, which also includes the issue of "subsidy and placement" for them.
After going through Nanzhong, the Red Star Army is already extremely familiar with this work.
Later, Liu Chan also personally met with those big households in Ji County, although the soldiers were not allowed to collect property without authorization, but this time Liu Chan did not refuse their initiative to "express".
But while giving them reassurance, they also brought out some uneyed and inactive goods to set an example for them.
And this part of the harvest of filial piety and "fighting local tyrants" has naturally become a source of subsidies for the people at the bottom.
Of course, this kind of wealth redistribution of killing the rich and helping the poor cannot fundamentally solve all the problems.
But it can immediately make the people at the bottom of Ji County understand what kind of army the Han army is today.
It can also let other big families know that Liu Chan's benevolence has the biggest premise - you have to be obedient.
As for fundamental institutional improvement, it is a long-term and huge project.
And this series of actions was seen by Jiang Wei, and while his sense of identity with Liu Chan increased greatly, his favorability also rose steadily, rising to 40.
By the way, the talent of strategy also rose to [rare in the world] (012/400).
Liu Chan, who was originally in a hurry, suddenly slowed down in Ji County, and patiently transformed the governance of Tianshui County.
So much so that Ding Feng asked with some puzzlement: "Prince, the military situation is urgent, why do you want to make such a big move against Ji County?" ”
Liu Chan looked at Jiang Wei, who had been talking happily in the past few days, with a smile: "Can you know the reason?" ”
Jiang Wei already knew the strategic intentions of Liu Chan's march this time, and knew that they were going to occupy the street pavilion and block the route of Cao's army to the west.
I saw him pacing and muttering for a while, then raised his head and said, "Because of Shangqi." No, it's also a proofing for the future Longyou! ”
Liu Chan looked at Ding Feng, the other party first frowned and pondered, and then his brows stretched and suddenly clenched his fists: "I see, my subordinates have been taught." ”
Liu Chan nodded with a smile: "Now I can be called a man with many talents, and I am very relieved to be alone." ”
Thinking about the next generation of talents who are being educated in Yizhou, there is no general in Shuzhong, and the embarrassment of Liao becoming a pioneer must not happen again.
