Qiming 1158

Chapter 116 We are not your enemies, we should be friends

At this point, it is impossible to avoid this problem.

The hole dug by oneself must be filled with tears.

So Su Yonglin could only temporarily issue an order to let the army prepare to clear the waterway, and at the same time mobilize the prisoners of war to help clear the waterway together.

But at the same time, the calculating Su Yonglin began to prepare to win over the hearts of the Han Chinese who signed the army and the civilians.

He ordered that captured female real soldiers, officers in the signed army, and officers in other positions in the barracks were specially selected to serve as coolies.

These people don't even need to be specifically identified.

Just look at those who are more decently dressed, have no pale faces and are not skinny, and even have a little oily face and have flesh on their bodies. They are either real female soldiers or officers or civilians accompanying the army.

As soon as you pick one, you'll find them all in a short time.

After it was announced that they were going to do cool work, all of them looked surprised, and then looked at the fiercely armed Shengjie soldiers, all with bitter expressions, bowing their heads to accept their fate.

Of course, not everyone has to accept their fate, and there are always some special people who will not accept their fate so easily.

Luckily, Liu Xi, who was in charge of organizing this work before, survived. He was captured along with a group of small military officials. Now, when he heard that he was going to be a coolie, the boss in his heart resisted.

But I was worried that if I didn't obey, I would be killed. After thinking about it, I saw the eight characters [Expel Hulu and restore China] written on the banner on the side, and suddenly thought of a solution.

He spotted a man who looked like an officer of the Shengjie Army beside him, and went up to him and told him about his official position and what he had done before.

The officer looked at him strangely.

"You were responsible for cleaning up the river before?"

"Yes, I... the villain is a military official, only doing some civilian affairs, in charge of some trivial matters, but only a little understanding of the things in the river, so I was assigned to be responsible for this matter, which has been cleaned up before. Three or five ships."

The officer looked Liu Xi up and down.

"How do you do it?"

"The golden man is quicker, but this sunken ship is sinking below, and it is not easy to get it out. The fastest way is to drag the sunken ship to both sides of the riverbed and clear the channel in the middle, so that the fleet can pass quickly."

The officer smiled.

"It's interesting, what about after that? You don't care about the sinking?"

"It doesn't matter, but you don't have to be in such a hurry. The waterways are all out, and things will take their time. So... so the villain can help your army clean up the river."

"Are you going to surrender?"

"Yes!"

Liu Xi nodded decisively: "The villain is also a Han Chinese. He is only helping the Jurchen to support his family. He has no choice but to help the Jurchen. It is not voluntary to go on an expedition with the army. , restore China!"

Su Yonglin immediately felt that this person was unusual.

Ability to bend and stretch, able to speak well, plus a traitorous face...

That's almost without the words "speculators" written on his face.

Man, it smells like a lot of speculative stuff all over, it's really funny.

"In that case, Guizi, send him to you, and you can try his weight."

Su Yonglin turned to look at Tian Guizi beside him, and gave him a look.

Tian Guizi, who had followed Su Yonglin for more than ten years, immediately understood what he meant.

"Here."

Tian Guizi looked at Liu Xi: "Come with me."

Liu Xi was overjoyed, feeling that he had found his next home again and was temporarily safe, so he happily followed Tian Guizi away.

The task of clearing the river was handed over to Tian Guizi, while Su Yonglin went to the loot calculation site to check the situation.

According to the latest statistics, the total seizure volume of the Shengjie Army may increase by more than [-]%.

This is a good thing.

Su Yonglin watched the situation with delight, while Su Jue came to look for him.

"Alang, you've got a bit of a frown."

"Well, how is it, is it bad enough to be bullied?"

"Tragic."

Su Jue sighed: "I have asked dozens of people on different boats to ask questions, and they are basically the same. I haven't eaten enough food, and I have to do my work to the death, whether it's boating or transporting on the road. Some people were staring at with whips and even knives.

If you are a little careless, or a little slow, you can go straight down with a whip. If you don't kill it, it's fine. If you kill it, you can drag it to the wilderness and throw it away. You can't even leave a corpse. It must be eaten by a wild wolf and a wild dog. , I really can't listen. "

"Hmph, the superiors, the superiors, regardless of whether it is the Song Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, it is the same if you want to come to the Dali Kingdom and the Xixia Kingdom. The superiors are always so high above, layer by layer, layer by layer. Can master the power of life and death! It's hateful!"

Su Yonglin took a deep breath and said, "You and Haisheng and Jinggui organize the grievance conference at night. Remember, those who come into contact with them should not be armed. The armed soldiers should just form a circle outside. They develop a sense of fear."

"Here."

"If there are too many people, come in several batches, batch by batch, don't worry, now we have a little time."

Su Jue nodded and smiled.

"Understood, I'll make arrangements."

"Ah."

Complaining conferences are the ultimate means of dealing with captives, and they possess a powerful power to directly attack the soul.

But, it's actually a matter of leverage.

This "power" was even provided by Jin Guo himself.

They have tossed these signing troops and civilians to death, only struggling on the line of life and death, no one's life is easy, everyone is suffering and hatred, and a little mobilization, the result is needless to say?

It's not that Su Yonglin's methods are ingenious and thoughtful, but that this cannibalistic world is too ferocious. So, is it Su Su's fault that this is taking advantage of strength?

Obviously not.

The Shengjie Army differentiated the treatment of prisoners from the very beginning.

The female real soldiers and captured officials were treated extremely poorly, while the Han Chinese signing troops and civilian husbands were relatively better.

In the evening, the female real soldiers and the captured officials had only a thin porridge like a few grains of rice sprinkled in clear water to eat, while the Han Chinese signing the army and the civilian husbands ate a rare bowl of dry rice.

The strong aroma of wheat made them feel as if they were separated from each other.

For this kind of treatment, the signing troops and civilian husbands feel puzzled.

They were surprised that they were not killed, beaten and scolded or even forced to do heavy physical work. In addition, those who were beaten, scolded and forced to do physical work were the soldiers and officials. They were shocked.

Why are we treated better than them?
Shouldn't they be treated better?

Even the poor oppressed were puzzled and terrified of preferential treatment.

What happened next made them even more stunned.

Not only did the Shengjie army not use violence against them, but they also kindly divided them into hundreds of teams of 50 people, and then each team sat together in a circle with a bonfire in the middle.

Standing beside the bonfire was a soldier of the Shengjie Army. I didn't know whether it was a soldier or an officer. When he came up, he said "We are not your enemies, we should be friends".

This sentence made the watchman Lao Wangtou and his two companions, who escaped the war but was captured, dumbfounded.
