I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 136 Send a Wife
How to deal with this incident is a question now facing Su Yao.

Of course Su Yao could also acquiesce in things happening.

Rather, this should be the default choice.

Everything can be done as usual.

Any choice of reform and restructuring will consume a lot of reputation and produce unpredictable consequences.

It was just for a quick promotion, to put down the Xiongnu rebellion as soon as possible, and then return to the capital to receive the reward.

Su Yao's most rational choice should be the default option.

These soldiers were allowed to continue to follow their previous habits, plunder as much as they wanted after the victory, vent their emotions, vent their desires, and get drunk on the wine and the bellies of women.

This can be said to be the lowest cost and fastest way to improve morale.

However, when the incident really happened vividly before his eyes, Su Yao could not make such a rational choice.

Therefore, these people really do not violate military law and cannot be convicted.

But now, when it was his turn to become the perpetrators of these green-famous subordinates, Su Yao realized that he still couldn't stand it.

Jin Fangyan's voice woke up Su Yao.

It is also understandable. After all, the military in this era has strict military discipline if it can enforce orders and prohibitions. As for massacres, looting, and insults to women, it is simply commonplace. Only a very small number of commanders with good moral sense and prestige can restrain them.

So after thinking about it for a while, Su Yao decided to legislate on the spot:
"We don't care about other people's military affairs. In our military law, we will add three articles in the future.
1. All seizures must be returned to the public. After the war, rewards will be unified based on merit. No looting is allowed.

The faces of the Han soldiers were extremely exciting. They usually saw the Hu soldiers making fools of themselves. This time he was going to embarrass himself in those Hu soldiers' camps. Just thinking about it made his face extremely angry:

This has never happened before.

However, since this is your first offense and it is an attempt, and it has not caused any major disaster, I will give you a warning this time. If you commit it again, you will be punished for several crimes! "

He could not accept these atrocities of bullying and abuse of women.

The preacher was specially set up by Su Yao to deal with the lax military discipline of these barbarians and border soldiers, and their widespread petty theft, drunken fights and other misdemeanors.

This guy, for these soldiers who are brave and fierce, and who value face more than their lives, is simply more uncomfortable than being flogged. But he did make a mistake, and he can't say anything, so he can only listen patiently to the laughter of his comrades.

So when he decisively stopped this atrocity in front of everyone.

2. Do not kill without permission or mistreat prisoners.

Cheng Lian was so angry that he wanted to give this kid a flying kick:
"Pioneer Camp, is that going to punish you or reward you?"

After explaining that Cheng Lian would handle the side mission of comforting the frightened people on his behalf later, Su Yao looked at the four people kneeling on the ground:

3. No teasing, rape and humiliation of women are strictly prohibited. "

"Captain, you'd better spank me."

At that time, he was happy to kill the tormentor, thinking that he was just killing Hong Ming as usual.

These people will tour the camp on weekdays and go to Gashiwu to vividly explain military law matters, especially the mistakes they have made.

However, before the smiles on their faces faded away, Su Yao choked them with his next words:
"As usual, you remember to memorize military law when you go back, be a preacher for half a month, set an example, and explain your mistakes to everyone."

Although they were not seriously injured and it was good to avoid physical pain, the preacher might as well have given them a whip.

The clear military law is strict in its requirements for orders and prohibitions, but there are no regulations on looting and looting after the war. It is a completely laissez-faire attitude.

At the same time, Su Yao complained again in his heart, the authenticity of some parts of this game is really disturbing.

"No, I understand." Cheng Lian nodded and took notes.

“As for you, merit is merit and demerit, and merit and demerit cannot offset each other.

"what?!"

Yes, compared to the rudimentary laws of military law, commanders have higher control over the army. As long as they have enough prestige and can be suppressed, it is perfectly fine to say what they say, to kill without warning, and to whip and abuse these soldiers at will.

Those women who were frightened and crying for mercy reminded Su Yao of the scene when he rescued those Han women.

But what is seized is returned to the public and distributed uniformly?

So Su Yao called Cheng Lian, and after asking, he discovered that the big man's strict military law of beheading and beheading at every turn did not have any requirements for these.

"Thank you, Captain, thank you, Captain, for your kindness!"

Cheng Lian was greatly surprised. Even if he was not allowed to kill prisoners and rape women, he didn't agree with it.

Even if you have a bad name, even if you give it all kinds of seemingly just reasons.

After several rounds of preaching, the morale in the army has indeed improved a lot.

"This"

The four people's faces suddenly turned green.

Evil is evil and cannot be beautified.

"You have a pretty beautiful mind, kid."

"What, is there a problem?"

"Captain Su, what should we do with these people?"

"Or you can send me to the Pioneer Camp as a punishment!"

"Pioneer camp" was a punishment in the past for criminals or death row inmates who made serious mistakes.

It is a punitive measure to select them as vanguards of the army and fight in the places with the highest casualty rate in battles, so as to obtain immunity for meritorious service.

After all, for most people at that time, the casualty rate in front-line battles was extremely high, and many soldiers were afraid of it.

But since Su Yao came, this punishment has changed.

Charging with the governor has gradually become an act with the highest safety rate and the easiest to achieve meritorious service.

So, gradually, choosing the front line no longer became a problem, and everyone was brave enough to take the lead.

"If you don't want to be embarrassed, don't make any more mistakes. I hope that the future preacher can be an honorable position that everyone strives for, rather than being used to punish you."

Su Yao shook his head, and while everyone was watching, he emphasized again:
“These women, even if they are not our common people, are property that belongs to all of us and cannot be harmed without authorization.

Maybe tomorrow, one of them will become your woman, or the woman of your brothers, the mother of your children, and the one we should protect. "

Su Yao did not talk about the familiar equality of all and women's rights here.

Because before he spoke, he immediately thought that the time set at the moment was 188 AD, and it was a time of trouble again.

Against this backdrop of productivity and turmoil, women’s rights? This is nonsense.

These women have no ability to survive independently in this world.

Even the daughters of the Han family can only rely on their husbands' families, and these grassland women are even worse.

To this day, the marriage custom of plundering relatives is still prevalent in the grasslands.

For these ethnic groups that have just ended the primitive forms of group marriage, pair marriage, nephew-uncle inheritance, etc., and entered the family-based society. Women are the reproductive tools of prairie families.

In order to maximize their role, they are succeeded by sons after the death of their husbands, and by brothers after the death of their brothers.

A woman marries not just a man, but a family.

In this context, Su Yao is not that stupid to talk about equality and women's rights beyond the times and productivity.

He also does not have the reputation and influence to carry out such a large-scale change of customs.

There is even less motivation.

So he naturally chose to make changes in a way that was more understandable and convincing to these people.

First protect the right to life of these women and prevent the tragedy in front of us.

His army cannot be an army of beasts that only follow instinct.

It's not that Su Yao has any special ideals or goals now.

His goal right now is still to clear the level.

However, wherever you can see, do what you can to make the surrounding environment better.

Su Yao doesn't mind taking a little time to change.

"In this way, I have really changed a bit."

"what?"

In the Sheriff's Mansion, Hong'er, who had just walked into the house with a fruit plate in her arms, was stunned for a moment.

"What is my benefactor talking about?"

Su Yao turned around and said nothing, took a plum and took a bite, then raised his neck and curled his lips slightly.

These early-ripening plums are so sour.

Hong'er covered her mouth and smiled quietly, then asked softly

"My dear friend, do you want to go out for a visit?"

Listening to the bustling crowd, Su Yao thought for a moment and nodded.
"Alright."

Outside the governor's mansion, there was a sea of ​​people and a lively scene.

It was not the market season, but a large number of Hu and Han people took to the streets and came to the center of the city, the square in front of the governor's house, and the place was completely surrounded.

"General Wang, what's going on with all this excitement today?"

Mingyue Xuan, the third floor of the restaurant on the east side of the square.

Wang Rou sat at the window and looked down.

Next to him, Yuan Shao had just been awakened by the noise and looked like he was still hungover.

"Nephew Su Xian, this is another big drama." Wang Rou shook her head.

"Big drama?" Yuan Shao pressed his forehead, quite puzzled.

"Make a wife."

"what???"

Yuan Shaozhi felt that he had heard something wrong. What the hell? Send a wife?

Yesterday, they welcomed Su Yao and his party back, and even held a grand celebration banquet here.

I heard at that time that women would be rewarded to meritorious soldiers. Is this what you are referring to?

However, when he asked and came to the window, he immediately knew that the matter was not that simple.

In the square, Han soldiers set up a cordon, and in the center circle were rows of Xianbei women standing side by side.

There are young women holding children, as well as young girls in their prime.

In front of them, Wang Ling shouted at the top of his lungs
“Folks, don’t be crowded, don’t be in a hurry!
If you are single, please come here to sign up, and those with families, please don’t come and join in the fun, okay? "

Cheng Lian, who maintained order, leaned on his halberd and shouted:
"The Governor has an order. Anyone who conceals his or her wealth or takes a woman without authorization will have his or her property confiscated!"

"Selling slaves? But, it doesn't seem like that?"

Yuan Shao above couldn't understand it again.

According to Han law, the fate of prisoners of war was to be confiscated and made into slaves.

Except for those with special status, skills, or young beauty who must be sent to the palace for selection, most prisoners of war were reduced to official slaves, either engaged in heavy manual labor, or became official prostitutes or camp prostitutes.

So yesterday, after Yuan Shao and others counted the Xianbei family members who participated in the prisoner dedication ceremony and were sent to Luoyang, they left the other captured female family members to Su Yao's own disposal.

In this current situation, slaves should be sold openly.

Although this kind of thing is rare, considering that the number of prisoners this time was so huge, it is understandable that the young subordinate governor and the local wealthy family could not digest it, so they chose to sell it publicly in exchange for military supplies.

But why did the boy from the Wang family just say that he only wanted to be single?

And he said he was looking for a wife? ?
It's hard for Yuan Shao to understand why.

The reason is of course very simple.

"Captain, what a weirdo."

The maid Xiaochun, dressed in yellow with a cold face, and Hong'er were hugged by Su Yao on the left and right, and sat on a tall tree in the governor's house:
"Everyone captures slaves to make money. It's better for you. Not only do you give them away without taking any money, but you also pay for a few sheep. It's really..."

This Xianbei maid's statement is somewhat biased.

Su Yao is not just doing loss-making business.

At the celebration banquet last night, after those women who were still young and beautiful were divided among the meritorious soldiers, Su Yao used them to harvest a wave of local people's money.

Then most of the remaining ordinary women were used by Su Yao to promote national integration.

Implement the [Marriage Proposal Order]

In order to take care of these men who may not be able to find wives due to family conditions and other issues, Su Yao also specially selected part of the rights from the seizures and used them as dowries for these women.

As expected, such a policy was very popular. Crowds of people were crowded, and many people were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. Not to mention the surge in people's loyalty, the predicted population growth rate also increased significantly.

But when he came out and looked around for a while, Su Yao was quite surprised that the women chosen by these people were mostly women with children.

There are quite a few young women left, and I really don’t understand the behavioral logic of these AIs.

But that's not important. At this moment, facing the accusation from Little Slave No. 2, Su Yao complained:
"If you're a weirdo, do you have the right to criticize me?"

Su Yao said calmly
"A woman who takes the initiative to run into the bed of her enemy is qualified to criticize me? Can I interview you for your thoughts?"
