"Then... they don't have to worry about their lives. They have good food and decent housing. What do they have to worry about? What else do they want?" Song Xiaoniu asked puzzledly.
"Freedom and human dignity." Li Dan raised his head and said, "These are the things that captives are most likely to lose. But right?"
"But aren't they quite free now? No one beats, scolds or bullies them casually, right?" Song Xiaoniu sat up angrily: "Shangda and his defense are very close to each other. How have they ever abused or humiliated prisoners?"
"Song Zhenfu, what you said is that such a thing has never happened to us here. But you know, I know, do the prisoners understand?
So Sun thought that they should also understand this.
What kind of life did you live in the mine, what did you eat, how did you get beaten, scolded and bullied by the foreman and mine supervisor, and what kind of life did you live under Lou Thief?
Although he has a knife and a gun in his hand, he behaves like a bandit, bullying good people and fish and meat villagers, taking fruits and goods from stalls, beating and scolding villagers, breaking into houses at night and driving people out of their homes, or before leaving. Capture the chickens and ducks.
Who taught us to do these evil things, and who condoned them?
Look at Lou Thief and his commanders, generals, and lieutenants. Which one is not a good thing, a beautiful woman, a good horse, food and drink, and a good one?
Take these things out and talk about them, let them understand what kind of person they should be, what kind of things they should do, and how to stand up and win the respect of others.
This way, everyone will not want to go back. Do you think it makes sense? "
"Oh, you mean to let them talk about the evil things they have done before and think about how to be a good person? Then see clearly how those rebels use everyone to make money and beauties for themselves, and see clearly what kind of people they are. ?”
Song Xiaoniu turned to Li Dan and said happily: "Hey, defense, I think Brother Sun's idea is not bad, you can try it!"
"This is called 'Remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet'." Li Dan came up with the name, and the two tasted it and it tasted really good.
"Brother Yimin's idea is to let them think about their past lives, recall the days when they were under Lou Thief, and then talk about the evil they have done, touch their consciences, and ask themselves what kind of person they want to be. Then quickly return to the original path. This is to 'speak your conscience'.
The other thing is to talk about the life of those big bandits and big bandits, compare them with themselves, and how they step on the bones of their brothers and live a life of wearing gold, silver, BMW, and being a girl. This is called 'more bitter than anyone else'.
I think this idea is very good. But before that, we have to make some preparations.
For example, what should I do if two people quarrel while talking? Who will decompose it and who will manage it?
We cannot completely follow the previous positions in the rebel army, and we must disrupt each battalion. It cannot be completely transformed into a sentry or team according to the formation of combat soldiers.
Let's do this, just use the brigade and squadron system that the firearms corps has. Brother Yimin, you know the inside story better. How many brothers are there who can establish some prestige like you? "
"Lin Shuntang, a native of Jianning Prefecture, Fujian Province, is fair-minded and speaks in a calm manner. He once became a monk in his hometown. Later, it was said that he believed in the Taixi cult and forced him to return to secular life. dilapidated.
Lao Lin couldn't get a foothold in his hometown, so he had to go into the mountains to pan for gold. Later, when the war broke out, he was coerced into the Lou bandit's banner.
This man is well-educated and well-educated. He can do anything when someone asks him to write a letter home. He is also good at relieving worries and is willing to do good deeds.
Therefore, when everyone admires him and is willing to ask him to judge something, those cunning people often feel that they are in the wrong when they hear that they came to him.
Gao Hanzi, a native of Shaowu, was once a monk. A country squire wanted to buy the land belonging to the temple to honor his relatives who were servants in Beijing. The abbot could not resist, so he had to take the money and send everyone away.
Monk Gao wandered around and accidentally lost his certificate. In the hotel, the official caught him and accused him of being a desperate thief. As a result, the former day city that was left in prison to be executed was captured, and he had no choice but to leave with the army.
This man was a martial monk in the temple, and he was very good at martial arts. One day, everyone was joking, and ten people challenged him. He was beaten until he couldn't get up. A school captain passed by, and when he saw him, he appointed him as the sentry commander.
Luo You, a native of Jiangshan, has a nickname in the world of "Right Hook" because he uses a single hook. This man is a descendant of the Hunxian Sect in Jiangshan, but he is a filial son.
When the Lou bandits attacked Jiangshan, they wanted to force him to bring the young men of his sect to surrender, so they captured his mother and had no choice but to go down the mountain.
There are still about a dozen disciples of the sect following him, but they are restrained by him and do not do anything evil. He surrendered with a certain person on the day of surrender, so the defense can be used with confidence. "
"Okay!" Li Dan thought that these three people were probably enough, so he said:
"In this way, the entire brigade is divided into four squadrons, and then every sixty people form a squad, twenty people form a platoon, and eight people form a squad, and they are reorganized.
The four of you each lead a squadron. You appoint the squad leader and platoon leader yourself. The squad leader may be elected by the entire class, or by selecting someone with good performance, seniority, and prestige.
I will send a governor to each squadron or team to help you come up with ideas, come up with solutions, solve logistics, allocate manpower, reward those who work hard and punish those who are lazy. You will discuss the rules and report them to me. I give you permission to implement them yourself.
I will serve as the team leader concurrently, and Yimin, you and Song Zhenfu will both serve as team deputies.
Mavericks, you are mainly responsible for the reception, screening and initial training of new prisoners. Which team has members who violate laws and disciplines will be judged by the other three squadron leaders and handed over to Mavericks for execution.
After this set of rules is completed and the team is reorganized, the 'remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet' that we discussed just now can start immediately. how? "
"Okay!" Sun She and Song Xiaoniu looked at each other and responded in unison.
After that, Sun She sent people to invite Lin, Gao, and Luo to meet with Li Dan. Everyone talked about it, and the three of them accepted the appointment without much thinking. Finally, people felt relieved about the prison camp. .
Before leaving, Li Dan specifically asked Mavericks to sort out and write down the rules with the four squadron captains as soon as possible and submit them to him, and also asked him to pay attention to selecting the candidates to be devolved to each squadron and squad.
"We need to find people who are willing to dig mud, build houses, and cut grass with these people. People who stand high as governor cannot do this kind of work well!" he ordered.
There was no movement at the bottom of the mountain for several days. Sheng Huai'en was puzzled, Li Dan was puzzled, and everyone was puzzled as well.
Thanks to Feng San's efforts, a relatively secret communication line was finally opened, and people could be sent to contact Guo County Zun and Sun Shoubei in Guangxin City.
It is not an easy task to cross the mountains until you reach the Xinjiang River, then turn around and head north to avoid enemy patrols and sneak into Guangxin.
A straight line of 20 miles, walking up and down in the mountains, becomes more than 30 miles. Even a person as light and fast as Feng San would have to walk for a whole day!
What was rare was that the order was sent to Shangrao through Shuizhai, and he met the Jiangxi general He Liao, the prefect of Guangxin Prefecture Han Kui, and the Shangrao Guard commander Tongzhi Lu Ji.
It is said that Han Kui burst into tears regardless of official status when he learned that the shipment of ten thousand stones of grain was blocked in Nanshan.
But no matter what, we are finally very close, and everyone is quite happy.
Hearing that they had won three battles in a row, killing, wounding, and capturing several generals, the entire general's office was very excited.
In reply, Yu Heliao spoke highly of Sheng Huai'en, and Shangrao Wei granted him the title of Trial of Thousand Households, and gave him the power of transfer envoy to Fengling and Wei Qianshi.
Because Guangxin was previously besieged by the enemy, General Lu rushed to the battle and was unfortunately killed in battle. Therefore, General Fengqiguan made up for the loss and transferred him to Guangxin to help with the defense.
Lin Baihu also offset his merits and demerits, and temporarily took over the guard duty of Fengqiguan.
Li Dan was rewarded by the prefect of Han, who gave him two hundred taels of silver notes, a handwritten flag of the "Green Shirt Team", a ninth-grade official, and the post of inspector of the Northland.
At the same time, the prefect's Yamen sent a chief of the execution room patrol, and the Shangrao Guard sent a general flag officer to return with the order under the protection of Liangshi officers and soldiers. One was to examine the head that was recovered, and the other was to bring back the seriously injured and captured mountain leopard. .
It's nice to open up channels of communication, but if the food can't get into Shangrao, everything will be in vain. After all, their trip is mainly for transportation, and three battles and three victories are an unexpected gain.
Everyone gathered at the Central Army to celebrate the promotion of Sheng and Li, but instead they all turned red and burped, but no idea came up.
"Uh, it's really good wine!" Gu Da looked at the empty bowl in his hand regretfully.
Because he knew the power of this thing and had the experience of Chen Salmon being drunk for a whole day and night after drinking a bowl, Li Dan ordered that each person could only have half a cup, and he had to change the bowl to a smaller one in advance.
"It's better to say it's defense, no, it's the inspection method! Hehe!" Chen Sanwen looked at everyone's unfinished expression and said proudly: "Changing the pot without adding water, this trick is so simple, but no one thought of it, right? "
"I'm talking about Mr. Chen, didn't you say that this 'Erguotou' has something stronger? You won't drink it secretly, right?" Zhou Qin's arm is no longer hanging, but it is still wrapped in cloth. Because he was injured, he didn't drink much, and the amount he was given was small, which made him very dissatisfied.
"You can't drink that as wine. That stuff is reserved for the wounded and is called 'alcohol'. The amount is quite small, but the total amount is more than a kilogram." Chen Sanwen quickly waved his hand.
"Small weapon!" Zhou Qin shook his head: "How about I give this camp to you and I go cook the pot?"
"Don't argue, everyone. What do you think of this wine?" Li Dan asked with a smile.
"Okay, of course!" everyone said in unison.
"Okay! Let's make a contract when we return home after the war. The three of you will take over the wine business in Fuzhou, Ji'an, and Jianchang. People from Shanda will probably stay in Guangxin Mansion, so naturally they will take this piece. What do you think?"
Xiao Wanhe was overjoyed: "Really? Then I'll join!"
Tan Zhongxiao smiled bitterly: "That's a good thing, but the next printer won't be able to match your abilities."
"It doesn't matter, I'll lend it to you." Li Dan waved his hand grandly: "What matters is that you are willing to do it!"
"If you are willing to lend me a loan, what else can you say?" Tan Zhongxiao smiled broadly.
Everyone immediately picked up their bowls and toasted to this future business.
"No, that's not right!"
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at the sound and saw Wu Mao holding a bowl in a daze outside the tent under the sun.
"I don't think it's right either." Sheng Huai'en put down the bowl with a smile: "The business matters are still behind. Thousands of rebels are actually building fortifications in the town at the foot of the mountain. I don't think they are in a hurry to attack Nanshan. There must be articles!”
Shangrao's letter had already made it clear that Lou Zishi was trying to establish himself as king, so everyone in Nanshan also changed their tune and no longer called him a "rebellious bandit" or "bandit army", but uniformly treated him as a "rebel bandit".
Li Dan nodded: "What Qianhu said makes sense. I think there must be some enemies who are afraid. There is a village outside, a village and a fortress in the town. The three points are the horns of each other.
But this is a solid defensive formation, and suddenly it changes from offense to defense. Don't they want to play Xing'an and Geyang anymore, so do they want to change the scene? "
There was a sound of "Pa!" and everyone was startled. It turned out that Wu Mao slapped his thigh hard.
"Sir, you are drunk." Gu Da pointed at him with unclear words.
"I understand!" Wu Mao's eyes were so bright that it made people shiver. "Look, what's the purpose of going north with your arms and legs?"
"Capture Fengqiguan, attack Xing'an and Geyang..."
"No, no!" Wu Mao interrupted Yang Yi: "It is to cut off the supply line on the northern front of Shangrao, and then wait for an opportunity to attack Xing'an or Geyang. The former is the key point, and the latter is dispensable.
Since Jun came from Geyang, he was naturally concerned about Geyang's safety, so he focused all his attention on the goal of preventing him from going west. However, in fact, what he wanted to do was to cut off the supply of the northern line.
So if he is stationed in the town and I can't wait, does that mean he has achieved his goal? "
Everyone present was stunned on the spot. After a while, Ma Jiu said quietly:
"To put it this way, as long as he doesn't let me take this road, Fengqiguan and Nanshan don't really matter.
Mr. Qianshi and Mr. Inspection, I'm afraid this is going to be a little troublesome. If we can't break through his fortifications, we'll just eat up all the rice and noodles here, which won't be of any help to Shangrao! "
Some people died, but not completely...
