All the prisoners were taken to Mopan City and gathered in an area where they were provided with hot water and food.
When there was a battle, everyone in Mopan City who was still sleeping got up. An earth-shattering victory was won, and everyone was happy. With so many people captured at once, there would be strong laborers to work in the future.
People in Mopan City now have completely different ideas than before, and are much more open-minded. As long as they surrender and follow the work, they will not lack a bowl of food. There are many wastelands waiting to be reclaimed, not to mention places such as brick factories and coal mines, which are seriously lacking in strong people.
labor.
The injured were all taken to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for treatment, where they were disinfected, stopped bleeding, sutured wounds and bandaged. Such simple treatment methods had long been mastered by doctors under Zhang Yi's guidance.
To put it simply, it is a crucial medical technology in this era and can save many people's lives. In the past, infection from a small knife wound would cause death.
Zhang Yi brothers and 25 village owners, plus the 6 surrendered village owners, gathered in the castle banquet hall to eat some dried fruits, cooked meats and pastries, and drink a few glasses of wine to relieve the fatigue of the battle.
The six village leaders were a little embarrassed at first, and Zhang Yi offered some words of comfort. Although they had done a lot of bad things in the past and led troops to attack Mopan City, Zhang Yi believed that it was enough to get rid of the chief culprit and kill them as a warning to others.
Everything is focused on the overall situation.
"Xiaolong said something, and I think it makes sense. Gods also have two things to say, and it's only up to humans that the truth is true." Zhang Yi said with a smile, "If dogs have meat, they won't eat shit. The problem is not
What does a dog eat? The problem is that this dog is a mad dog!"
Everyone laughed, and some people laughed so much that food spewed out of their mouths. Not only were these remarks funny, they were also very reasonable and impossible to argue with.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and the six village leaders who had just surrendered became much more active. Huang Yue, the leader of Yangjiao Village, asked cautiously.
"Honorable heroes advocate justice, tell me, if we surrender under your majestic banner, can we enjoy the same treatment as Song Lao Hei and Song Village Masters?"
This bandit leader, who looked tough and had a green dragon and white tiger tattooed on his face, took great pains to say something elegant, which immediately aroused a burst of laughter. Huang Yue was stunned and didn't know where he said something wrong.
Zhang Yi was also amused by his words, laughed and nodded.
"Call Yi Ge!" Niu Ben slapped the table and shouted, "How dare you call me Yi Ge by my first name? Don't you know that even Lord Song, the leader of the Song Village, calls me Yi Ge?"
"Letting you call me brother-in-law and letting you sit with us means that I think highly of you and treat you like a brother." Shi Gandang said while taking a bite of meat.
"That's right," Xiaolong said with a smile, "From now on, everyone here can just call Yi Ge. This is not a term of age, but a title of respect. Yi Ge has a broad mind and can accommodate heroes from all over the world. Huang
Although the leader of the village started out as a bandit, he can win our respect as long as he changes his mind and makes atonement for his crimes."
"Everyone is equal, you should think about it carefully," Song Laohei said with emotion, stroking his beard, "It's really like this. In battles, my righteous brother is at the front, in making inventions, my righteous brother is at the front, and in business, my righteous brother is at the front."
Up front, it’s my step brother who has to take the lead in everything. It’s so hard and tiring, and step brother hasn’t even enjoyed any special treatment. He eats and drinks the same as us!”
Everyone present was moved.
Huang Yue and other 6 village owners expressed their opinions that they must change their minds from now on, and asked Yi Ge to be accepted into the village of Common People's Alliance and work hard for Yi Ge.
Zhang Yi explains what it means to change one’s mind.
One is to wash your hands in a golden basin, and you will not be able to do anything wrong or evil from now on.
The second is to follow the right path of development and create wealth through one's own labor.
The third is to completely transform the village, restore the freedom of slaves, and strictly prohibit the occurrence of bullying.
The fourth is to put an end to bad habits such as gambling, alcoholism, robbery, and belief in cults.
The fifth is to accept the unified management of the People's Alliance and contribute to safeguarding the independence of the region.
If you can do the above five things, you are considered qualified.
The alliance will send people from the military, criminal, agricultural, animal husbandry, cultural, industrial and commercial departments to take charge of the situation of each village, focusing on manpower and material resources for common development and common prosperity.
From the current point of view, the economic situation is very good, and the industrial and commercial plan alone can lead the people in the region to take off, and they will not worry about the future.
After hearing this, Huang Yue and others were filled with excitement. The fact is there. One transaction made by Yi Ge to Jiyuan City was enough for them to rob for three years. Anyone who is not a fool can figure it out.
What's more, with Yi Ge, a wise king in power, not collecting any tribute or taxes from each village, no one except Yi Ge can do such a thing. Neither General Cao nor Liu Kai is a good person.
Yi Ge said that he would never be king and would establish a new civilization. Huang Yue and others could not understand this truth at the moment, but they believed that the hero Zhan Yi was actually the king of the Mopan City area, but he had a different name.
.
There is nothing to say. In the past, Huang Yue and others were bad people because they were surrounded by bad people. Only by being worse can they survive. Now that everyone is good people together, they are happy from the bottom of their hearts.
The six village leaders stood up and swore a blood oath to follow their sworn brother to the death and obey his orders.
Everyone was happy, and six new cottages were added at once. In terms of force, the warriors in these cottages were quite strong. After all, they had been born to fight since childhood.
No, not just 6, but 13.
The owners of the remaining seven cottages were executed, and their cottages were taken over by Zhang Yi and reorganized into common people's homes.
In this way, Zhang Yi had Mopan City, 31 cottages and 11 common people's homes under his banner, and his strength suddenly grew much stronger.
…
Strike while the iron is hot.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yi sent Xiaolong, Niu Ben, Xiao Han, Shi Gandang, Jiang Hua, Zhou Rui and Liao Fan to escort the leaders of seven mountain villages, including Tianma Village, Beihong Village and Tizi Mountain Village.
persuade to surrender.
Song Laohei, Huang Yue and other six newly joined village leaders cooperated. Each of them went with a team of people to persuade these seven cottages.
In fact, most of the elite warriors in the above-mentioned cottages went out to fight, and only a few warriors were left in the cottage, which no longer formed much fighting power. The village owners were all beheaded, so if the leader speaks, the weight is not light.
Without exception, they opened the village gate and waited for arrangements.
Xiaolong and other people from all walks of life summoned the people in the village to give speeches and explain clearly the policy of heroism. As long as the five orders to change one's mind and face are fulfilled, the past sins can be forgiven.
It doesn't matter if there is no food in the village. Mopan City registers the population to ensure that everyone can have a bowl of rice. If there are patients, don't worry, they will be taken to Mopan City for treatment by carriage. As for children under the age of 16, they are exempted from labor and can enter the village.
School reading. For adults over 16 years old, whoever is more literate and contributes more will receive a corresponding increase in monthly supplies.
Everyone can choose their own path of development, whether farming, herding, or working in various factories. Mopan City provides guidance and support.
The men, women, old and young in the thirteen cottages were stunned to hear that all these were good things that could not be found even with a lantern!
