Song Dynasty

Chapter 178

Yes, Wang Junshi's theory is really unheard of.

In fact, after the sergeants had psychological problems, it was not that they did not think about solving them and doing ideological work.But when the words come to the mouth, it is usually just a few dry words, "Treasure life," "Your parents, your body, hair and skin, should not be damaged in the slightest." Or "It's all over, man, what do you want to do?" "For your family, live well."

Not only did these words not have any reuse, but it made the sick soldier's reaction even stronger.

At that time, everyone was still at a loss, but now they suddenly understand after Wang Shenyi's analysis.

First of all, the patient has a deep sense of guilt. He absolutely feels sorry for others if he is alive, and he is sorry for his comrades who died.

Then, due to mental reasons, they suffer from insomnia and nightmares, and their bodies are already in extreme pain. They just want to be relieved earlier, and why do they talk about cherishing life?
As for the sake of the family, it is even more inexplicable to live well for the parents.Whether it is a captive soldier or a soldier of the Sizhou Army, they were ordinary people in Hebei and Huaihe Rivers before joining the army. The Jin army invaded and the bandits made chaos.Live one day at a time.

Speaking of it, everyone has made the mistake of shaming and perfunctory errands, and their minds are simply useless on how to treat and manage patients.

Although Wang Shen didn't say anything verbally, everyone could still see the blame on his face.

Everyone bowed their heads in shame.

Wang Shen: "I won't talk about the past, you have never dealt with such a thing, and I will not hold you accountable. I will continue to say what I just said."

"Enlightenment is just a means of psychological treatment. You should listen to patients more and encourage them to speak their minds. In a word, be a good listener."

"In addition, I found that you have a bad thing here."

A scribe couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the military envoy, what's wrong with us here?"

Wang Shen: "Someone sees that after the patients are sent to your place, you can let them eat and live here. Anyway, as long as they don't cause trouble and don't harm themselves, the task is considered complete. Hehe, what kind of place am I here, a hotel? ?Starting tomorrow, we need to strengthen management and organize patients."

Du Shu asked curiously: "Organize?"

Wang Shen: "Don't forget, they are soldiers now, and soldiers have to be bound by military laws and regulations, and they cannot be left idle. They can be properly allowed to participate in some light military training, such as walking in queues, queuing up, etc. Marching. For example, they can reclaim wasteland to grow vegetables, organize housework and so on."

"Why is that?" Another person asked puzzledly.

Wang Shendao: "People live in groups and are social animals. Especially in times of war, only being in a group can make people feel safe. The reason why patients get sick is because they lack a sense of security."

"What we need to do is to make them feel that they have not been abandoned by the group. Even if there is a big thing, no matter how dangerous it is, our group and organization will not stand by and ignore it."

After hearing this, everyone understood completely.The scribes were all excited, and bowed their hands: "The general is benevolent and generous, I respect you."

Yes, in this troubled world, if soldiers from other armies are injured or sick, the easiest way is to just abandon them and let them fend for themselves. This is the most economical and safest way.

In fact, everything is lacking in this world, except people with two legs.Throwing out a big pancake can bring back a big girl with yellow flowers, and throwing out a handful of rice can recruit a lot of soldiers.

When the soldiers of the Sizhou Army were injured or sick, Wang Shen would arrange them properly and treat them carefully.When encountering those who have lost their labor force, they will be raised for a lifetime. How much resources of the Sizhou Army will be consumed!

In this troubled world, this move is undoubtedly foolish.But it is also because of this that so many brave men serve him wholeheartedly, right?

"Ah!" At this moment, a scream came from a distance.

This cry was like the crowing of an ape in Wushan, and the cuckoo was weeping blood. It was so soul-stirring in the dark night. Suddenly, there was chaos outside, and a guard shouted; "What's going on?"

"Protect the General!"

One after another, the lanterns were lit up one by one, illuminating the manor like daytime, with soldiers running everywhere.

The guards who came with Wang Shen changed their complexion drastically at the same time, and surrounded him at the same time, saying: "Military envoy, hurry up!"

Fighting fiercely on the battlefield for a long time made the guard's nerves tense all the time.Wang Shen didn't bring a few soldiers with him when he came here today. If the enemy's scouts attacked at night, things would be troublesome.

"Why panic, it's no big deal." Wang Shen glared at them, and calmly asked Du Shu and the others: "What's wrong?"

Different from the tense faces of the guards, the clerks stood there quietly, as if they were used to such things.

One person replied: "I reported to the military envoy, it must be that a soldier fell ill again and woke up in a dream."

"So that's how it is. Let's go and lead me to have a look." Wang Shen stood up and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was really taken aback just now.When the cry came, he, like his guards, subconsciously thought it was an enemy attack.However, as the commander-in-chief of an army, wouldn't it be a joke if he panicked.Besides, there was no escape after such a dark night.The best way to deal with it is to guard the manor and rely on the strong houses here to resist steadily.

What's more, in the blink of an eye, he found that the civil servants all looked calm, and immediately realized that this matter might not be what he imagined.

Seeing that the coach was calm and composed, the guards all looked ashamed.

Patients are treated very well, with four people in one room and centralized management.

Every night, the door is guarded.

When Wang Shen and others arrived, the screaming person had quieted down, huddled in a corner and cried in a low voice: "Why am I still alive, why am I still alive...all dead, all dead...wine , wine, give me wine."

Wang Shen: "Give it to him."

After grabbing the wine gourd handed over by the guard, the patient poured it into his own mouth.

Wang Shen walked up to him and patted his shoulder: "Soldier, what's your name, do you feel uncomfortable?"

A civil servant said in a low voice: "Report to the military envoy, this man's surname is Zuo, his name is Xiaosan, and he is a prisoner of Kong Yanzhou." Then he scolded Zuo Xiaosan: "Open your eyes and see clearly. The defense envoy, Wang Junshi, still don't bow down?"

Zuo Xiaosan groaned, "So it's General Wang Daosi." He was about to kneel down.

Wang Shen helped him up, and said softly: "No need, Zuo Xiaosan, what happened to you just now, you feel better now."

There were tears in Zuo Xiaosan's eyes: "General, just now the villain had a nightmare, dreaming that those dead companions from before were calling me. The villain didn't want to die, so naturally he refused. But they just refused, and stretched out their hands to pull me Military envoy, there were ten people in our previous team, but now there is only one person left, and now I am being imprisoned here by you again, I am afraid that I will go to see them sooner or later."

"No, no, you won't go to see them. You are sick now, and living here is to treat you, not to imprison you." Wang Shen sighed softly: "Soldier, take good care of your illness, you won't die ,I promise."

Coming out from Zuo Xiaosan, Wang Shen said to Du Shu and the others: "Give me an order to disband the captive camp, so that the prisoners who are still alive can be resettled. If they are willing to stay, they can be recruited to serve as servants in the local army and county yamen. .If you don’t want to stay, you can pay them travel expenses and let them go home by themselves. In the battle of Qichun, they also did their best for me, Wang, and shed blood, so they can be regarded as my brothers!"

Du Shu and the others nodded: "Yes, military envoy, we'll go to work now."

After they came down, the more than 1000 captives who were still alive agreed to stay, and they were scattered and placed in various places in Qi and Huang.In fact, most of them are people from Lianghe and Huaihe Rivers, with nowhere to go when their country is ruined and their families are destroyed. At least there is a way to survive if they stay here.

In this era, the armies basically did not keep prisoners.The world was too chaotic for a while, and all the armies were basically in a state of mobile combat. There was no place to settle, and there was not so much food to feed the redundant population. It was the easiest to kill with one blow.

However, Wang Shen is a modern person after all, and he can't treat human life like nothing.Moreover, since he has already arrived in this fertile land of Hubei, he will not leave. This vast and fertile wilderness is his foundation.There are still a large number of rogues gathered in Anlu and Hanyang.If I killed all the captives without asking indiscriminately, if I encounter enemies on the battlefield in the future, I am afraid that everyone in the bandit army will die.

Putting down Jianghan should pay equal attention to suppression and appeasement, and sometimes, politics even takes precedence over military affairs.
