Seeing Nan Sheng's death, Jin Yao also sighed, but there was nothing he could do. This was war.
"Everyone, put down your weapons. Those who surrender will not be killed!" Jin Yao shouted, looking at the navy soldiers with red eyes who wanted to resist.
However, all the navy soldiers always held on to their weapons and were unwilling to put them down.
The soldiers on the tower were always vigilant, their long bows and crossbows always aimed at the soldiers below.
"Put down your weapons, we are defeated!" After all, it was the navy generals who spoke, walking past the soldiers one by one, forcibly letting go of their hands and putting down their weapons.
"A general cannot die in vain, he will be useful if he stays!" the generals persuaded.
Watching the general break away his hand, the soldiers finally couldn't stop the tears from flowing down their eyes, and they released their grip on the weapon.
"Clang, clang, clang," weapons fell to the ground one by one, and each naval soldier reluctantly put down the weapons in their hands.
"Collect the weapons and don't insult them!" Jin Yao whispered to Chen Xian.
The most worrying thing about subduing the surrendered soldiers is that the soldiers will insult the surrendered soldiers, which will then cause the surrendered soldiers to rebel and cause the camp to be bombed.
"Here!" Chen Xian nodded. He did not dare to let Long Wei and the Qin army collect the weapons and surrender the soldiers. Instead, he asked the Longcheng government officials to do it.
After all, what government officials usually do most is to arrest thieves and appease the people, so they are more suitable than the army in terms of appeasement.
In addition to the confiscation of weapons, the most critical thing is the armor stomach on the soldiers.
All countries do not prohibit civilians from making weapons privately, but they absolutely prohibit the production of armored stomachs.
"Don't be angry. After all, you are not the first batch of prisoners. Before you, there were the Shennu Battalion of South Korea, Wei Wuzu of Wei State, Shadow Tiger, Thunder Leopard, and Tenglong Legion of Chu State. To really count,
, you are not up to par!" The government officials knew how to comfort people.
If you say it directly, the other party may not be able to accept the fact of your defeat, but the best way to comfort a person is to compare with them. As long as someone is worse than them, then your own failure is not unacceptable.
"You have defeated the Shennu Camp and the Wei Wu soldiers?" The soldiers of the Chu Navy were stunned.
They knew that the Dragon Guard had defeated the Shadow Tiger, Thunder Leopard and Tenglong Legions, but they did not expect that even the Han and Wei armies would lose.
"We migrated from Han and Wei. What kind of enemies have we never encountered? Compared with them, you are actually not the strongest!" Ya Chai said calmly.
The navy was silent. Those were all world-famous armies with military flags. Although the navy was not weak, it was still a notch behind those legions.
"Then what will happen to us next?" The navy officers were still worried about their future.
"What can we do? Just like us, those who are willing to stay will stay, and those who are unwilling to stay will serve as corvees for three months. Your Majesty will give you money to let you go," the Yamen servant continued.
The navy officers and soldiers were all stunned. It was beyond their imagination to let him go, and there was actually a cost involved.
"But after living in Longcheng for three months, I guess you won't want to leave again!" the Yamen servant said confidently.
"Why?" The naval officers looked at the officers in confusion.
"What are you going to do when you go back and continue to be exploited by the nobles? Are you oppressed by the nobles?"
"There are no idlers in Dragon City, but as long as you have a skill, you can live a good life, and you don't have to worry about anyone coming to exploit you. You all know about taxes, right?" Yamen continued.
"I know!" Who in this world would not understand what taxes are?
"The tax in Dragon City is one for thirty. Moreover, if it is wasteland reclaimed by yourself, your Majesty will not only provide you with farm tools and grain seeds, but there will be no tax for the first three years, and then you will start to collect taxes. If you can
If you open an acre of lower fields, you’ll be taxed 100 cents per acre; if you open an acre of middle fields, you’ll be taxed 100 per acre, and if you open an acre of middle fields, you’ll be taxed 100 per cent!” the Yamen continued.
"How could this happen?" The navy officers and soldiers were all stunned.
Generally speaking, the better the acres, the higher the taxes. How come the better the acres, the lower the taxes?
"So, make a living by your own efforts. As the saying goes, Dragon City does not support idlers!" The Yamen have long been accustomed to the fuss made by these outsiders.
"You don't have to worry that these are lies to you. All taxes are engraved on the gate of Dragon City, and there are also engraved monuments in every township, county and village. If there are tax officials who mess up, you can directly
Go to Longcheng to meet with your Majesty and make a statement!" Yamen continued.
"Meet Mr. Long directly?" None of the navy officers expected to do this.
"Before you came, some of the Dongting's Autumn Closing Officers thought that Your Majesty was deliberately trying to scare people. As a result..." The Yamen stopped on purpose.
"What's the result?" Everyone was curious. Not only the navy officers, but also the soldiers of Lantian Army pricked up their ears to listen.
"As a result, your Majesty directly ordered the law enforcement captain to pluck out the skins of the autumn harvest officials who had tampered with taxation and the nobles behind them, fill them with their greedy grain and grass, and hang them on the local towers and roadsides!"
The official said with a smile.
"Okay!" All the soldiers applauded. They did not feel cruel, but felt that this was how they should treat these corrupt officials and nobles who violated laws and disciplines and oppressed the people.
"So, there is nothing shameful about defeat, nor is it something that cannot be accepted. If you want to learn, your Majesty also invited scholars from hundreds of schools to teach in various rural schools, and there is no need for any discipline!" Yachai continued to confuse!
With.
For these government officials, as long as they can recruit a family of refugees or defeated soldiers, they can also get corresponding rewards. In addition, the refugees and surrendered soldiers they recruit and take in will also be given priority.
in the jurisdiction for which they are responsible.
To put it simply, if you can recruit and take in people from a village, you are the leader of the village. If you can recruit and take in a pavilion, you are the head of the pavilion. If you can recruit people from a county, you are the leader of the county!
Therefore, in the eyes of the Yamen, these demoted pawns are not demoted pawns, but shiny white rewards and achievements!
A team of government officials can recruit and encourage enough refugees and surrendered soldiers, plus the residents of the area they are responsible for. As long as there are enough to form a county, they can report and then serve as the county magistrate of the county.
It's the position of an official.
The navy officers and soldiers did not know this. All they thought about was that their children could study and they would not have to be illiterate like them in the future and could only be soldiers!
Moreover, they could become disciples of scholars from hundreds of schools of thought without having to pay any religious fees. This was something they had never thought of.
They once wanted their children to study with scholars from various families, but when they asked about their background, they refused directly and would not give them this opportunity at all.
Now, the opportunity has been placed in front of them. If they don't cherish it, they don't know what else they can expect!
Therefore, even if the battle is defeated, the decadent energy of defeat has dissipated.
