Chapter 710: Disposal of Prisoners of War

Within a day and a half, the news of Beidi's surrender reached Jinzhou.

"General, Beidi has surrendered, Beidi has surrendered...... King Xirong was cut off by the princess of Beidi Yelu Wu in front of the battle, Yelu Wu abandoned the knife and surrendered, and the siege of the capital was lifted. ”

"Our reinforcements will arrive soon, and it won't be long before these stick soldiers outside the city are bouncing."

Jinzhou City, summoned to take off the helmet with blood scabs on his head, sat down reluctantly, and listened to the lieutenant general excitedly tell the good news.

"It's good to fall, it's good to fall." He sighed, he was so tired that he wanted to close his eyes and go to sleep.

"General, I have something to say."

"What's the matter?" He was called to pick up a kettle on the ground and wanted to drink two sips to quench his thirst, but the kettle had already been shot by arrows, and the deputy general handed over his kettle when he saw this, "Give it to ..... General, now that the siege of the capital has been lifted, the general must make plans early! ”

"Jinzhou fought so fiercely that eighty percent of the soldiers and civilians died, and he sent the general to die."

"The general didn't die here, that's lucky, and when he returns to Beijing in the future, he will definitely find an excuse to be executed!"

"It's better to think of a way now."

After taking a sip of water, he looked at the lieutenant general beside him, knowing that the lieutenant general was for his own good.

When the adjutant general said he was naturally referring to the Chen Dynasty.

Smiling bitterly, he was summoned to pat him on the shoulder, but did not answer.

The wind blew through and blew the hair on his sideburns.

……

"Newspaper—"

"Retreat, retreat!"

"Jinzhou has been defended, Goguryeo has withdrawn, and the Japanese soldiers have also returned to the island country on the sea by boat, as for the Wu-Chu coalition army in the south, the distance is too far, and there is no definite news for the time being."

Early in the morning, when everyone heard the good news, everyone shook their fists excitedly, looked at each other, and couldn't help but be happy on their faces.

Anyway, this catastrophe, Daki can be regarded as surviving.

Chen Chao stood at the head of the city, looking at today's hazy sky, and just when the others were overjoyed, he said a few words lightly:

"Withdrawn?"

"It's good to retreat, but it's not over! Goguryeo, Dongying, these two guys who saw the wind and steered, did they think that if they retired, they would treat this incident as if it had never happened! How can it be so easy! ”

Everyone gathered around, thinking that these two small countries were not far from destroying the country!

But it's okay, it should have been long ago to send troops to clean up the two jumping clowns.

Two small countries, wanting to take advantage of the chaos, really don't know who gave them the guts!

Thinking of this, the eyes of everyone in the city couldn't help but turn to the outside of the city, a large number of Beidi soldiers who had gone to armor and weapons were silently cleaning the battlefield, and there were many Daji soldiers around who were supervising the work.

Occasionally, the angry Beidi soldiers came up with a temper, scuffled with the Daji soldiers, and were soon pressed down by two or three people, beaten severely, and then hung on the pole to expose to the sun, in order to set an example.

The weather is too hot, many bones have rotted and stinky, and the battlefield must be cleaned as soon as possible, if left unchecked, it is very easy to cause a large-scale plague.

Chen Chao was standing at the head of the city, and when he was looking at these, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "What are your plans for these Beidi soldiers?" ”

It was Fang Xiu who spoke, the war was over, but this old man was still wearing a sword with him, and he looked extremely unpleasant.

Chen Chao heard that that night, Fang Xiu killed people in the palace!

Kill an official who is greedy for life and afraid of death!

So much so that in the past few days, some officials will subconsciously hide away when they see Fang Xiu with a sword.

I was afraid that the old man would not like them, and his hands trembled, and he killed them too.

Hearing the voice, Chen Chao turned around and repeated, "What is my plan in my heart?" ”

"Yes." Fang Xiu looked at Chen Chao and nodded, "What are you planning in your heart?" I heard that you are not going to let these Beidi troops go back, but you want to leave these soldiers here. ”

"How can this work? These soldiers are all Beidi people, and it is too dangerous to stay here for a long time, and if there is turmoil, we will have to work for a while. ”

"Then Lord Yifang means to send these Beidi soldiers back to the grassland? But is it safe to send it back to the grassland, in my opinion, it's just a matter of letting the tiger go back to the mountains. Chen Chao said.

Fang Xiu's eyebrows furrowed, "Then what good can you do?" ”

"I naturally have a way. These are all surrendered troops, I hit a mess towards the north, all the way to smash, many people's life savings are all gone, this account, I should always settle with them, even if I don't say this, I have a good Qingyuan County, before the war was the richest county, but now what has become of it, full of holes, yesterday I also went to Nanshan on a trip, my good wine shop is gone. ”

"It's all gone, I'm going to have to pay them for it."

"How to pay?" Fang Xiu was stunned.

This time, Beidi mobilized the strength of the whole country to attack Daji, and it would be a problem if he could compensate for it.

But Chen Chao said: "I think these people are all strong laborers who don't need money, they will always build houses, no, I can send someone to teach them, when to restore me to the north to the original state, when I will let them go back to the grassland." ”

"Although your method is good, don't forget, they are not ordinary laborers, they are soldiers, once they are dissatisfied, uniting, it will be a military disaster, and then you will be out of control." Fang Xiu was in a hurry.

But Chen Chao said nonchalantly: "How to make them work for me willingly, I don't have to worry about Lord Fang."

"They are captives, and I don't need to say more about the fate of the captives, the easiest way is to kill, or they will be sold into slavery, and they will work for the master's family to die, and they will be beaten or scolded, but these people are all soldiers, they are strong, they have killed people on the battlefield, no master dares to buy such slaves, and we have nowhere to sell them."

"So, I reluctantly took in these prisoners, and I thought about it, first pull the disobedient prisoners to the mines, let them dig the mines for a few months for our Daji, and as for the obedient ones, they will be arranged to be rebuilt after the war."

"Although you have a certain effect in doing this, after a long time, they will still rebel!"

Chen Chao spoke again: "Well, I have thought of this aspect, and there are good solutions. ”

"For example, I will restore the obedient and well-done captives to free bodies, and as for returning to the grassland or continuing to stay in Daji, it is up to them to choose, the purpose of this is to let all the captives know that they still have a future ahead! In this way, there will be less chaos, and they will work even harder for our Daji. ”

"In this way, not only will the ideological problems of some of the prisoners be solved, but the post-war reconstruction will be carried out at a very fast pace, killing two birds with one stone."

"But after all, there are a few such captives, and the people on the grassland admit that they are dead and disobedient, what are you going to do?"

"It's good to admit death, I just want them to admit a death, as long as they don't make trouble for me through their hard-working hands, and work hard, I will try my best to meet their requirements."

"If you take a long-term view, I will pay them for their work, and even bring their families on the grassland to him, and let them settle down and live here, and after a few months, they will find that life here is much more comfortable than on the grassland, and there are more heads, so they will naturally stop making trouble, and will naturally become our Daji people—at that time, even if someone persuades them to go back, they will not want to go back."

"In addition, I will also find someone to take over the large pastures of Beidi, and it will be the place where I raise horses in Daji from now on."
