Chapter 46: The Daimyo of Ten Thousand Stones (3)
With 500 troops, the Fengyuan family wiped out the Luanshan Township Alliance Army that had gathered tens of thousands of troops, and after the news spread, most of the people were the first to say that they didn't believe it. Naturally, countless ninjas, ronins, merchants, idlers, samurai, and attendants rushed into Luanshan Township to check and investigate.
Because of the large number of prisoners and the very short time of the battle, the battlefield was cleaned up in a short time. Therefore, when these curious people poured into Luanshan Township, they didn't see a single trace of the battlefield, and they only saw countless young men and women who were busy repairing the ground, busy repairing the roads, and carrying materials under the supervision of the black lotus and the ashigaru, all of them worked hard and complained.
What makes them rub their eyes is that the people of this mountain township are too easy to oppress, right? A black lotus ashigaru just stands lazily on the side, and hundreds of young men and women are extremely well-behaved and work hard? Don't they be lazy and run away? You must know that this kind of work is not city building, it is all labor that does not require money! Usually the peasants are called to work at home, and if they don't pay attention, these foolish people will be lazy and even run away!
It is for fear that they will be lazy and make the infrastructure construction bad and rework, and even if the lazy foolish people are beheaded, it will be a waste of money and time, so the default rule is that all other work belongs to hard labor, but the work of building a city is paid.
In fact, where did they think it was so simple, although Shen Fei promised to release these prisoners after the castle was built and other facilities were repaired, but he didn't let them not only not run away but also work hard when they lacked control.
And the reason is that in addition to the deterrent power of Black Lotus Ashigaru with the awesome record of 500 people defeating 10,000 people, the main thing is that Shen Fei, who is not short of food, directly gives the captives three meals to enjoy the treatment of the Fengyuan family. Well, of course, very simple three meals, gruel for breakfast, and dried soup with dried radish with kelp in the middle and evening. There is no big fish and big meat in Ashigaru. But this full three-meal treatment was enough to make all the captives drool and not leave.
And the reason for letting them work hard? It's very simple, don't look at the only one who stays lazily on the side, but he will decide who is hungry and who is not hardworking, lazy and so on, and after the roll call, there will be no food at noon, and if there is trouble, he will be starved for a day.
In the face of such a punishment. There is absolutely no one in this world who will be lazy and make trouble.
And the black lotus ashigaru who holds this right can be regarded as a welfare, not to mention bullying men and women, turning a blind eye is enough to make the captives under his jurisdiction die against him, if such an ashigaru is willing to save one and a half of the dried fish he eats, there will definitely be a good-looking strong woman who will crawl over and wait for a night at night. Therefore, holding such a position is definitely not a meritorious service, but it is also a position that Ashigaru takes turns to come.
Afterwards, after Shen Fei ordered the release of the captives. The ashigaru who guarded the captives all got married!
There is no way to find information through your own eyes, and you can't use your mouth and ears to find information, because most of the young men and women in the township have become captives and are pressed to work. Where will they, the outsiders, have the opportunity to come forward and find out the information?
They had no choice but to go into the countryside, which could have found out a little news, but most of them were rumors, and ninety-nine percent of them were biased towards the Fengyuan family. After all, the people who stayed in the territory were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they didn't know what was going on the battlefield, but they still received the arrival at Fengyuan's house. Only then did I know that the huge coalition army had actually been wiped out! Second, Shen Fei took pity on these old and sick people who had lost their youth, strength, and strength, and generously gave relief food.
Of course, it was not done in vain, so that these old, weak, sick and disabled people received cloth, needlework, scissors, dyes and the like from the logistics department, and specially made the flag and samurai uniform for the Black Lotus Army. After handing over the things, not only can you eat relief food, but you can also have a few pennies in payment. Similarly, a little effort is to weave bamboo armor, and a set can also be exchanged for a few pennies. Although Shen Fei is not happy with the weakness of these bamboo armors, it is always good to be prepared, maybe one day he will be forced to mobilize, and when the bamboo armor is distributed, he will immediately be a fully equipped peasant army.
Therefore, after enjoying so many benefits, when their relatives are still captives, it is impossible to let these old, weak, sick and disabled people speak ill of the Fengyuan family.
The spies who did not give up naturally shifted their targets to the surviving martial artists, and those who were kept knowing and doing but were forced to become vassals of the Fengyuan family were too lazy to deal with them, and directly went to those martial artists who were stripped off half of their knowledge and were also forced to surrender to the Fengyuan family.
As a result, they were still disappointed, because both the samurai who kept their knowledge of action and those who were deprived of half of their knowledge of action were all summoned to the side of Toyogen Murataro and listened to orders at any time. For this, the spies were a little stunned, although they couldn't see the side of these surviving martial artists, but the acolytes of these surviving martial artists showed their mentality to them.
That is, these guys are actually happy one by one, thinking that their own lord was summoned by the main hall to wait, which is definitely the meaning of the Fengyuan family that values their own lord! It is also the meaning that the Fengyuan family really began to rule Luanshan Township!
This incredible understanding directly stunned the spies, but soon they reacted, feeling that these turtles were very aggrieved before, not to mention participating in the military and political affairs of the nominal lord Yamada family, that is, the actual boss, and the military and political affairs of the five major forces in Luanshan Township did not need them to participate in them.
And what can the turtles do at home? Practicing martial arts, sleeping women, giving birth to children, and farming, there is no feeling that samurai are participating in the military and political affairs of the world, obviously Toyogen Murataro actually recruited them all to his side, let them listen to the military and political affairs of the Toyogen family, and send them directly if there are tasks, do you say they are happy or not!
After perceiving this, all the spies sighed, there was no help, and the entire Luanshan Township and others were actually inclined to just ravage Luanshan Township, and it was the Fengyuan family that had only risen for half a year! I really don't know how the Fengyuan family did it!
It's just that Luanshan Township is so stable, can't these spies just go back empty-handed? What are you doing? I'm here to stir up trouble and let Luanshan Township continue to be turbulent!
The helpless spies naturally will not give up and continue to work hard to disturb Luanshan Township. After discovering that the people and vassals were strangely inclined to the Toyogen family, they naturally targeted the samurai of the Toyogen family itself. After all, in their opinion, the samurai of the Toyogen family are all ronins and idlers recruited from Yamada Town, and their loyalty is definitely not very deep! As long as they show off their own family and leave behind high-ranking officials to seduce them, they will definitely be able to hook up with several men! (To be continued......
