At this point, it is impossible to avoid this problem.
The hole you dug must be filled with tears.
So Su Yonglin could only issue temporary orders to prepare the army to clear the waterway, and at the same time mobilize prisoners of war to help clear the waterway.
But at the same time, Su Yonglin, who was good at calculations, began to make preparations to win over the hearts of the Han soldiers and civilians.
He ordered the special selection of captured female soldiers, officers in the signing army, and officials in other positions in the military camp to serve as coolies.
These people don't even need to be specifically identified.
Just look at those who are well-dressed, have dull faces, are not skinny, and even have a little oily face, and have some flesh on their bodies. They are either Jurchen soldiers or military officers or civilian officials.
Once you pick one, you will find them all in a short time.
After this group of people were announced that they would be engaged in hard work, they all looked surprised. Then they looked at the heavily armed and fierce-looking soldiers of the Victory Army. They all looked bitter and bowed their heads in resignation.
Of course, not everyone has to accept their fate. There are always some special people who will not accept their fate so easily.
Liu Xi, who had been responsible for organizing this work before, luckily survived and was captured along with a group of military petty officials. Now he heard that he would be forced to do coolies, and he resisted in his heart.
But I was worried that I would be killed if I didn't obey. After thinking about it, I saw the big flag next to me with the eight characters "Expel the Hulu and restore China", and I immediately thought of a way.
He spotted a person next to him who looked like a Shengjie Army officer and approached him, telling him his official position and what he had done before.
The officer looked at him strangely.
"Were you responsible for cleaning up the river before?"
"Yes, I... I am a minor official in the army. I only do some civilian work and am responsible for some trivial things. I only have a little understanding of things in the river, so I was assigned to take charge of this matter. It has been cleaned up before. There are three or five ships.”
The officer looked Liu Xi up and down.
"How do you do it?"
"The golden man needs to be fast, but the sunken ship is sinking at the bottom and it is not easy to get it out. The fastest way is to drag the sunken ship to both sides of the river bed and clear the channel in the middle, so that the fleet can pass quickly."
The officer smiled.
"That's interesting, but what happens after that? You just don't care if the ship sinks?"
"No matter, but there is no need to be in such a hurry. The waterway has been opened, and the rest will be done slowly. So... I can help your army clean up the river."
"Are you going to surrender?"
"yes!"
Liu Xi nodded decisively: "The villain is also a Han. He only helps the Jurchens to support his family. He has no choice but to help the Jurchens. It is not voluntary to go with the army. He is really forced to have no choice. Now that there is a chance to escape from the sea of suffering, of course he is willing to follow your army to drive out the Hulu. , Restore China!"
Su Yonglin immediately felt that this person was unusual.
Able to bend and stretch, eloquent, and with a treacherous look on his face...
This is all if the four characters "Opportunist" are not written on his face.
Good guy, there is a strong smell of speculation all over your body, and it smells really interesting.
"In that case, Gezi, I will send him to you, and you can try his skills."
Su Yonglin turned to look at Tian Qizi 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: "Follow me."
Liu Xi was overjoyed, feeling that he had found his next home again and was safe for the time being, so he followed Tian Guizi happily.
The task of cleaning up the river here was left to Tian Guizi, and Su Yonglin went to the loot calculation site to take a look at the situation.
According to the latest statistics, the total amount seized by the Shengjie Army may increase by more than 10%.
This is a good thing.
Su Yonglin looked at the situation happily, while Su Jue came to look for him.
"Alang, I have some clues."
"Well, how about it? Were you bullied badly enough?"
"It's tragic."
Su Jue sighed: "I interviewed dozens of civilians on different boats. Basically, they were all the same. They never had enough to eat. They had to work to death, whether it was rowing or transporting on the road. There were people holding whips and even knives and staring at them.
If you are a little careless or slow, just whip it down. If you don't kill it, it is better. If you kill it, you will drag it to the wilderness and throw it away. Not even a body will be left. It will definitely be eaten by wild wolves and dogs. , I really can’t listen to it. "
"Huh, superior people, superior people, no matter the Song Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, I think the same is true for the Dali Kingdom and the Xixia Kingdom. The superior people are always so high above them, suppressing them layer by layer, layer by layer. Being able to control the power of life and death! Hateful!"
Su Yonglin took a deep breath and said, "You and Hai Sheng and Jing Gui will organize the evening complaint meeting. Remember, people who come into contact with them should not be armed. The armed soldiers only need to form a circle outside. Don't let them They develop a sense of fear.”
"Here."
"If there are a lot of people, come in batches, one by one. Don't worry, we have a little time now."
Su Jue nodded and smiled.
"I understand, I will arrange it."
"Um."
The Complaint Conference is the ultimate means of dealing with prisoners, and it has a powerful power that directly penetrates the soul.
But, this is actually a matter of leveraging force.
This "power" was even provided by Jin Guo himself.
They tormented these soldiers and civilians to death, struggling on the line of life and death. No one's life was easy. They all suffered and had deep hatred. With a little mobilization, is there any need to say the result?
It's not that Su Yonglin's methods are exquisite and his thoughts are deep, but that this world of cannibalism is too cruel. So, is it Su's fault for using his own strength to fight against others?
Obviously not.
The Shengjie Army distinguished the treatment of prisoners from the very beginning.
Jurchen soldiers and captured officials were treated extremely poorly, while Han Chinese soldiers and civilian husbands were treated relatively well.
At night, the Jurchen soldiers and captured officials only had gruel to eat, which was as thin as a few grains of rice sprinkled in clear water, while the Han soldiers and civilians had a rare bowl of dry rice.
The strong aroma of wheat made them feel like they were in another world.
The soldiers and civilians were puzzled by this kind of treatment.
They were already very surprised that they were not killed, beaten, scolded, or even forced to do heavy physical labor. In addition, the ones who were beaten, scolded, and forced to do physical labor were the soldiers and officials. This was enough to make them They were shocked.
Why are we treated better than them?
Shouldn't their treatment be better?
These poor oppressed people even feel puzzled and afraid of preferential treatment.
What happened next left them even more stunned.
Not only did the Shengjie Army not use violence against them, but they kindly divided them into hundreds of fifty-person teams, and then each team sat in a circle with a bonfire in the middle.
Standing beside the bonfire were soldiers from the Shengjie Army. I didn’t know whether they were soldiers or officers. They came up and said, "We are not your enemies, we should be friends."
This sentence made the old watchman Wangtou and his two companions dumbfounded after they narrowly escaped from the war but were captured.
