When it was almost evening, the surrender soldiers all had enough to eat, and the old surrender soldiers took them to the prisoner of war camp.
As soon as they entered the prisoner of war camp, they saw the corpses arranged neatly on the ground.
The ropes on the hands of those corpses had been untied, but because they were hung to death, the corpses were rigid, and it was still a freezing season, so when they were placed on the ground, their arms were still raised upwards.
The surrendered soldiers who were originally happy couldn't help but feel sad when they saw the corpses of these former comrades.
They were all brothers who fled back to the camp together. Now they are still alive. Those brothers died in vain. Look at those brothers who surrendered early. They are enjoying good food and drink, and their faces are all shiny. Not to mention how happy they are.
Just when the surrendered soldiers were about to return to the camp, a large banner suddenly came over from the Chinese army.
Under the flag, there are some people on horseback.
The young man at the head was riding a bay-red horse and wearing steel armor. He looked very heroic, and he was followed by a group of generals.
The big banner has the word Nie written on it, so it must be Nie Chen.
When the soldiers saw this, they quickly stopped, gathered together, and looked at Nie Chen curiously.
Nie Chen stopped in front of them and shouted loudly,
"Do you know me or not?"
The soldiers were silent, not knowing how to answer for a while.
A veteran in his forties replied,
"Are you Lord Nie?"
"Yes, I am Nie Chen, the Nie Chen who was chased by you a few days ago."
As soon as Nie Chen said this, the hearts of all the soldiers trembled.
Could it be that Nie Chen wanted to settle accounts with the queen and kill them?
Nie Chen continued,
"But, today, I am still alive, still standing here, talking to you, do you know why?
Because your coach is too incompetent!
One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted!
Ming Wu is a man who is brave, reckless and willful. Because of his own mistakes, he drags 200,000 of you to follow him on an adventure! In the end, you will lose everything! This is incompetence!
If he was just incompetent, that would be it, but not only was he incompetent, he was also cruel and did not treat people as human beings!
The first soldier lying on the ground, the most seriously injured soldier, was beaten to death by Mingwu with a whip just because he told the truth.
Does he deserve to die? He doesn't deserve to die! The only rule in the military camp is that you are not allowed to lie. How can you not tell the truth? !
Some of those soldiers were beaten to death for stealing the generals' horses, and some were unjustly accused of not even eating!
You kill the war horses, but the generals don't give you the meat to eat. They keep the meat for themselves. This is because they want you to starve to death!
If you are so hungry that you go to kill their horses, they will hang you up and beat you to death!
Isn't your life worth less than the life of a horse?
Do you know why they do this? Because they are nobles and upper-class people. In their eyes, their lives are life, and your lives are worthless!
but!
I, Nie Chen, am also a commoner, I am not a noble, so I understand you!
In my opinion, your life is also your life!
Civilian lives matter!
Human life is always worth more than anything!
Those brothers who died on the battlefield, were they unjust? Just because the lord became a traitor, they had to die in vain. As people of the wind, they were killed by their compatriots who were also people of the wind.
sad!
Are these brothers lying on the ground unjust? Just because he killed a few horses, he was going to be beaten to death with a whip!
Tell yourselves, is it unfair or not? ! "
Nie Chen shouted loudly, making the soldiers tremble, their blood boiling, and they shouted in unison with grief and anger,
"injustice!"
"They are indeed unjust! But do you think that only Mingwu is like this? Then I tell you, the Ming family is all like this!
At the palace's longevity banquet last year, I saw with my own eyes that Mingxuan whipped a third-grade official at the entrance of the palace until he knelt on the ground and couldn't get up!
And the reason was simply because Mingxuan's carriage knocked down someone else's carriage.
That was in front of the emperor at the entrance of the palace, and he was a dignified third-rank official of the imperial court.
He is also a child of a commoner family. He studied hard for many years in a cold window and was exposed to wind and sun for many years before he could sit in this position and work hard for the country.
In the end, he was beaten to death by Mingxuan with several whips!
Ming Xuan's level of cruelty is far higher than Ming Wu!
Think about it, if the opposite party today was not Mingwu but Mingxuan, all of you would probably be whipped to death!
Such a lord, a lord who does not regard the lives of his subordinates as his own, are you still willing to follow him? "
"I don't want to!"
"Okay, before our two armies fought, each was his own master. If you followed the rebels, you would be going astray. Now, tell me, who are your ancestors? Who are your parents? What are yourselves? who!"
"Feng Ren!"
"We are wind people!"
"My ancestors have been Feng people for generations! Not fucking Korean!"
Nie Chen nodded, then shouted,
"Okay, the traitor is now usurping our country, Dafeng Jiangshan. He wants to make your parents slaves of the subjugated country, wants to make you traitors, and wants your wives, children, and children to be stabbed in the back in their hometown and unable to hold their heads up. He also harmed us. The death of so many of your compatriots and comrades has plunged our country into the flames of civil strife!
These are all caused by Mingxuan!
Tell me now! As Feng people, should we take revenge on him? "
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
"Okay! Tomorrow morning, you will follow me to the capital and kill the traitor Mingxuan. For your comrades, for your parents, for the country! And for yourselves! Take revenge!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Nie Chen's words successfully diverted the conflict, allowing these surrendering soldiers who had no fighting spirit to transfer the hatred in their hearts to Ming Xuan.
An army must have faith to have combat effectiveness. There is nothing in this world that makes people believe more firmly than defending the homeland and taking revenge.
Looking at the surrendering soldiers with high morale, Ouyang Ming nodded silently.
He thought he was very knowledgeable and resourceful, but there was one thing he had to admit, he was not as good as Nie Chen.
That is the ability to incite and win people's hearts and speak eloquently. Nie Chen is extremely good at it. This is Nie Chen's political talent.
In just a few words, these former Zhennan King's subordinates were able to willingly turn their guns and attack their old master.
That's the thing.
There are also Wang Hao, Liang Peng, Ning Wushuang and others. These outstanding commanders were once subordinates of King Anton. Now, every one of them is following Nie Chen wholeheartedly.
This is Nie Chen's personal charm.
Therefore, Ouyang Ming knew very well that he was only suitable to be a counselor and a strategist, but he could not be a lord, and he had no talent as a ruler.
And Nie Chen was born to be the protagonist.
