Chapter 1479 People's Heart Has Been Gained by the Ming Army
The peasants didn't know Daming copper coins at first, but they seemed to guess that they were money, so they were very surprised, and a little astonished, and dared not accept it.

When did the national army pay for their food?

Isn't this a common practice that everyone knows?

The soldiers of the Ming army then called local officials and asked them to translate, saying that the Ming army had regulations and could not take anything from the people.

All the needs of the Ming army are provided by the state, and the source is also the taxes paid by the people, so they can no longer take anything from the people.

If there is a reason for it, and you take it, you must pay for it, otherwise it is a violation of military discipline and you will be subject to extremely severe punishment.

After listening to this, the local officials looked extremely stunned.

The peasants were also very unaccustomed to accepting the copper coins given to them by the Ming army - although they were not national coins, the value of the physical coins was the coins themselves, regardless of who issued them.

Besides, as a vassal state of Daming, it will be a matter of time before Daming coins become common currency in the kingdom of Xikarakhan.

After the peasants accepted the coins, they showed them to the experienced old people in the village. After the old people saw them, they said that they were copper coins. The copper coins were still enough, and they were worth more than all the food they gave together. .

The peasants were amazed, they really felt the unusualness of the Ming army, and their stereotypes about the army were impacted.

They thought about it and felt bad about it, so they sent some strong men to work in the field from the next day, and thanked the Ming army for their help in person.

Nothing bad happened to the tentative contact, and the Ming soldiers were still doing the same thing.

They did not carry any weapons, worked from sunrise to sunset, and had no offense with Minqiu. They ate the food they brought, drank the water they brought, and slept on the straw mats they brought to compensate for the broken farm tools.

The local people also gradually became accustomed to the presence of the Ming army and their help, and gradually relaxed their original guard against them.

Gradually, not only strong men, but also children and women dared to appear in front of Ming soldiers.

The Ming army still maintained the same military discipline as before, getting along well with them, and gradually no longer just ploughing the farmland, but also helping the farmers to do other things.

For example, they will help families who are short of labor to carry water, chop wood, and carry heavy objects. When they find that the local people have insufficient food, they will also divide a portion of their rations for the people to eat.

When someone in the countryside fell ill, the military doctors of the Ming Army organized to bring the medicinal materials to the countryside to diagnose and treat the peasants for free, decoct medicine and rescue many people.

When the army distributes some benefits such as candy and fruit, the soldiers also share these benefits with local children.

Children are the most naive. After eating sweet candies, they become the most welcome and favorite group of Ming Jun. They are very friendly to them, and they are no longer afraid of them.

Despite the language barrier, the two sides were able to have a little simple communication even with calls and gestures.

After more than a month, the villages in the Hezhong area basically accepted the presence of the Ming army.

They dared to work in the fields with Ming soldiers, and dared to accept Ming soldiers entering their houses to sit and drink water. Ming soldiers entered their yards to help them jump into water and chop wood, and they would not be afraid.

The women and children in the family will no longer hide. Even when the soldiers of the Ming army lined up to work in the village in the morning, the children in the village would take the initiative to welcome them, and the women dared to take the initiative to bring food to the soldiers of the Ming army. Thanks for his help.

Of course, the soldiers of the Ming army must pay as usual. If the farmers do not accept the money, the soldiers will not accept any food, so the farmers can only accept the money, and the soldiers accept the food with a smile.

When the sun is too strong or it is windy and rainy, farmers will invite Ming soldiers to take shelter from the rain and wind in their houses.

Ming army soldiers refused to enter. They would forcefully push the soldiers into their houses to avoid the rain and wind. Some elderly people would wipe their bodies as if they were distressed by their own sons and nephews. They were very considerate.

The two sides are still unable to communicate freely, but just relying on some body language and calling voices, the two sides can understand the meaning of the other side. The gap between the languages ​​does not seem to prevent the two sides from being emotionally close.

The goodwill of the people was also understood by Su Haisheng and other senior officials of the Ming army, so the Ming army also organized some warm-hearted activities to care for the widowed and lonely families, and regularly sent them meat, oil and rice noodles to help them live a little easier.

In addition to farm work, the reason why the people are willing to accept the Ming army is that the Ming army attacked the bandits in this area with heavy blows, sweeping away the bandits that the official army of the kingdom could not or were unwilling to solve in the past.

After learning about the serious troubles of bandits and bandits in rural areas, Su Haisheng asked the local officials why they didn't deal with it.

The local officials stammered that they didn't have that ability, and Su Haisheng sneered, mocking them not because they were incompetent, but because they didn't want to do such a thankless thing at all.

"People's production is already very hard. If they can't even guarantee their safety, and they have to take the risk themselves, how can this situation be sustained for a long time?"

So Su Haisheng informed Maas Ude, and personally sent people to investigate the location and existence of the bandits and bandits in the river area. After that, he organized the Ming army to launch a carpet-style sweeping attack on the bandits and bandits.

As long as you find the existence of bandits and bandits, you will definitely chase them to the end, and you will never let go.

In one and a half months, the Ming army killed and captured more than 30 bandits and bandits, destroyed more than [-] of their lairs, and conducted public trials and executions on them to serve as an example. the public's sense of security.

In this way, not to mention the farmers in the countryside, even the merchants and citizens in the cities complimented the Ming army, saying that they are worthy of being the "Shang Wang Shi", and they are looking forward to further "Bathing the King".

As long as any human being, there is no one who does not want good security and a sense of security. Specifically, businessmen who travel from south to north hope for good traffic conditions and public security environment.

But it is such a small request that most regimes cannot provide. The controllers of most regimes in the world just want to enjoy rights and not take responsibility.

So two months later, Masoud, who didn't like to take responsibility, was a little impatient.

He was shocked to hear that the Ming army had actually developed to work on the land with the local people, and was even invited to enter the people's homes to shelter from the rain and wind.

What does this mean?
As a ruler, Masoud is very clear, which means that the people's hearts have been won by the Ming army.

The Ming army could actually gain the hearts and minds of the people of foreign countries from thousands of miles away!
Moreover, the two sides have different languages. The local officials described their communication as continuous calls and gestures, and they were unable to spit out even a complete word during the whole process, but despite this, they were accepted by the people and won the hearts of the people.

Farmers welcome them and are even willing to share their precious food with them.

Urban residents also welcomed them, because the Ming army helped them wipe out their confidantes and wiped out more than 3000 bandits, allowing them to live and do business with peace of mind.

Therefore, the city residents also complimented the Ming army, praised the "rende" of the new suzerain state, and looked forward to more benefits.
