The 232nd chapter hit the horse's hoof
As soon as Chen Jitai's "damage move" was released, everyone's eyes were lit.
This move is very likely to be used by the Qing court!
Compared to using thousands of troops, this trick saves money and labor, and is extremely low in cost. If it succeeds, the effect will be surprisingly good. The Qing court is not short of talents, so how could it not be seen this? How could it not be used for such tricks?
"Yes, loyal, brave and talented. This move is not only not harmful, but also extremely wonderful!" Zhu Youlang praised sarcastically.
"Hehe, I dare not be the emperor's praise!" Chen Jitai received a compliment, and was so happy that his mouth was grinning to the back of his head, and he felt that his bones were three points lighter.
"Tsk, look at your sexiness, can't you say it and mock you? What a talent, you can be smart at most." Wu Bing could not help but hear the sarcasm in the emperor's tone.
"The most important thing at the moment is Jiangxi. As long as the Qing soldiers cut off my pig iron supply, it would be equivalent to snatching the neck of grenade production. Therefore, it is necessary to quickly unplug the siege of Ganzhou and restore the pig iron supply of Jinxian and Xingguo as soon as possible. I want to leave a unit of Tingzhen to monitor Boluo's movements, and the rest of the troops went from Tingzhou to rescue him. He is now very strong, with enough people, and a sufficient number of grenades and mines. It should be no problem to unplug the siege of Ganzhou."
"In Fujian, Lingernong quickly recovered lost land, resumed production, and carried out overseas trade. Ling Shi Lang stationed troops in Quanzhou, monitoring Zheng Chenggong's navy movements, and on the other hand, using Zheng Zhilong's shipyard in Quanzhou to build large ships, with the focus on building large ships, five thousand or even ten thousand ships. Zhongwu's troops returned to defend Guangzhou."
"That's all for the time being. Alas, Taichong, where is Tong Yangjia now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Tong Yangjia is now in Zhangzhou."
"Li Hong, send someone to Xuantong Yangjia."
"yes."
Li Hong agreed and went down to arrange for someone to pass the order.
"Your Majesty, do you want to enable Tong Yangjia?" Wu Bing asked.
"Yes, Boluo was relaxed, and his feet were covered with oil. What should he do if the hundreds of thousands of prisoners he left behind? I can't learn from Bai Qi and kill them all, right? Besides, all ethnic groups are my Ming people, and there is no distinction between high and low. I must treat them equally. Although the Manchus are enemies at this stage, they are like two brothers in a family fighting. The younger brother is fierce and can't kill him. They can only fight first and then influence him."
"Your Majesty, this matter is probably not easy to handle." Huang Zongxi said.
"Yes, I think it's not easy to handle. However, it's difficult to handle, and it will be successful one day. Tong Yangjia's ancestors were Han people. In the Battle of Fushun, the Jurchens were surrendered, and the flag was later carried. Therefore, the blood of Han people he shed was later labeled as a bannerman. There are many people like him, which are very representative." Zhu Youlang said.
"Your Majesty, I think you should be cautious when doing this and never get rid of the tiger's troubles in the end." Wu Bing was more cautious and put forward different opinions.
"But first, I thought about this for a long time, and finally I felt that I should be more generous. Look, most of these 100,000 prisoners are Han people, and the real Manchus are less than 10,000, and there are 20,000 Mongolians. I think the proportion of Han people can be fought for is relatively high, followed by Mongolians, and Manchus is the most difficult. Sometimes I think, even if all these 30,000 people are put back, how great is it? They are defeated generals of our army, and even if they become enemies in the future, they will not have enough confidence. Moreover, when they go back, they will promote our army's prisoner policy, and secondly, they will consume a lot of money against the enemy. In short, in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."
"In this way, the reputation of our army's benevolence and righteousness will spread far and wide. If the Qing army imposes violence and our army with benevolence, then the morale of the world and the people will return, and there will be no worries about the failure of great cause. Your Majesty's vision will be far-sighted, and I will submit to you." Huang Zongxi said.
Zhu Youlang did not think about the distinction between benevolence and violence. He simply learned from later generations, thinking that preferential treatment of prisoners has been tested by practice. Although "taking the theory" is suspected of dogmatic, it has been used in this world, which transcends the simple concept of killing or enslaving prisoners. It is always good to think about it.
Unexpectedly, Huang Zongxi gave such a profound interpretation.
"Okay, then how to treat it? You discuss it and make a statement." Zhu Youlang ordered Wu Bing.
"I think there should be several things: First, we must first educate the prisoners, and promote our dynasty's political philosophy, governance philosophy, and prisoner policies; second, after a certain period of education, the prisoners can choose freely. Those who are willing to join our army will be dispersed and organized into the army, those who are willing to return home will be paid for travel expenses, and those who are willing to stay in Fujian or Guangzhou will be properly arranged by the government; those who are stubborn and want to continue to fight against our army will be punished to work hard labor. Anyway, there are many things to repair and repair, and the government will also save the government from collecting labor." Wu Bing said first.
He didn't mention the release, but everyone understood that as long as someone was willing to return home, he would be given a travel fee, and it would be inevitable that someone would make a decision on this.
"Yes, this is a good way to let prisoners work. With so many prisoners, eating, drinking, defecation and urination will cost a lot of food. If you eat and drink enough, you will easily cause trouble. Let them work and work hard, not only will they save wages and labor, but they will not even have the energy to make trouble. It is really a good idea. It is best not to give him enough food, just starve to death." Chen Jitai clapped his hands to agree with the last suggestion, and added it.
Zhu Youlang was happy when he heard this: "Haha, this is the way to damage it. However, the damage is a bit damaged, and it seems to make some sense."
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "Not only can you not be full, but you can't eat well. Don't think about fish and meat. The oil and water are not enough. It's best to cook vegetables in water and not even add salt."
"Yes, yes, yes, don't eat salt, you won't have the strength to do it." Chen Jitai echoed excitedly.
Wu Bing and Huang Zongxi looked at each other and said to himself: "Your father-in-law and son-in-law are just trying to do something bad."
"Actually, I think that sometimes it is better to eat enough than to eat too much. Eating things without oil is better than to eat greasy." Huang Zongxi frowned and said with a bitter face.
"Hahaha..., Taichong, do you still remember the chicken eating?" Zhu Youlang laughed.
"Yes, I feel scared when I think about it. Your Majesty, your method of curing people is unique. I admire it very much." Huang Zongxi smiled and patted his fart.
"Hahaha..." Zhu Youlang burst out with a proud laugh again.
Everyone laughed.
"Your Majesty, I think it's not good to pay the return trip fee. Even if they are released, I will be able to get the money, why do you still pay the money? There are so many people, it's too much money!" Chen Jitai continued after a while of laughter.
"Don't pay for travel expenses, let them rob the people? That's too bad for my love for the people. If you speak, don't just think about saving money! What's wrong with taking money?" Zhu Youlang scolded without hesitation.
