Chapter 118 118 Takes the initiative to deliver to the door
Nan Jinzhao sent an army of 150,000 people just to attack a small city, and the 100,000 people in the vanguard of this army of 150,000 were all refugees who had taken refuge in Nan Jinzhao. After only simple training, they were sent to the battlefield...
Nan Jinzhao promised those people that as long as they returned victorious, everyone would be promoted to one level and a woman would be arranged for them.
Yes, woman!
After satisfying their lustful desires and taking refuge in Nan Jinzhao, these people could have enough to eat and no longer had to worry about being killed at any time. Once their lives settled down, they began to have higher pursuits.
They want a woman, whether it is to vent their sexual desires or to form a temporary family, they all need a woman, but...
Nan Jinzhao does not accept the surrender of old people, women and children. Although there are many women in the army, the number of these women is definitely not proportional to the number of soldiers, and these women naturally give priority to Nan Jinzhao's own soldiers.
.
There are too many monks and too little food. If these people who later joined the army want a woman, they have to exchange their skills and military honors. This is a common practice in the military, and everyone can understand it. After all...
If you have no ability, why should you get more benefits than others?
The strong men who later took refuge in Nan Jinzhao had no objections to this condition. They even learned that after returning from this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, women would be able to sleep with them. Those who were not selected also petitioned to join the army.
Go to the battlefield.
More and more people requested to go to the battlefield. The deputy general in charge of logistics came to ask Nan Jinzhao for instructions. Nan Jinzhao didn't even raise his eyebrows and said: "If you want to die, why don't you let them do it?"
Not to mention those who later joined him, even his original soldiers, Nan Jinzhao did not take them seriously. From Nan Jinzhao's point of view, in these troubled times, there is no shortage of people.
The Tianqi people are dead, but there are still people from Nanjiang, Tianwu, and Beichen. What is a mere Tianqi?
Nan Jinzhao regarded human life as child's play, and did not take human life seriously at all, let alone feel sorry for the people who died on the battlefield. So, originally only 100,000 people were required to siege the city, but it became 150,000, and the extra five
Ten thousand people, all voluntarily requested...
Of course, Nan Jinzhao treated these people who volunteered to die very kindly. Not only did they eat well, but each of them was also given a weapon and a military uniform.
As more and more people defected to Nan Jinzhao, the weapons in the army were not enough. Those who were not capable enough, or those who were latecomers, basically had no weapons. A stone ax would be good.
Now, Nan Jinzhao distributed weapons and military uniforms to these people, which really moved these people. They all shouted and vowed to break the city to repay Nan Jinzhao's kindness.
"Do you see...this is a human being! Despicable and ridiculous! I led my troops to destroy their homeland, killed their wives and children, made them homeless, and made them hungry and cold, but they had a full meal.
Do you think it's ridiculous to work for me and treat me as your benefactor just for a piece of clothing?" Nan Jinzhao listened to the passionate shouts of those people, smiled on his face, and turned around without concealing his contempt for them.
The people following Nan Jinzhao were forced to hear Nan Jinzhao's inner voice, and they were not happy at all.
Their Lord was suspicious by nature, and the people around him changed very quickly, and the more he knew, the faster he would die. He didn't want to die at all...
It's a pity that this kind of thing cannot be tolerated by him.
After Nan Jinzhao said this, he made a gesture to the person in the dark. When Nan Jinzhao turned around, a guard came forward and dragged the person beside Nan Jinzhao away, and the person kept saying "
I didn't dare to shout, I was afraid... life would be worse than death.
Nan Jinzhao looked down on these people in his heart, but he did an excellent job on the surface. Not only did he give these people generous promises, but he also held a big banquet to fulfill them. Then Nan Jinzhao looked at these ten people.
Fifty thousand troops set off...
Yes, Nan Jinzhao did not show up in this battle.
After all, Xiao Jiuan was not in the city, and he did not think Xiao Jiuan's subordinates were worthy of his personal action.
If he wants to take action, he must face Xiao Jiuan himself.
After the army went out, Nan Jinzhao and Ji Xin unilaterally ceased fighting, and focused on the intelligence on the front line. As soon as Nan Jinzhao ceased fighting, Ji Xin recovered, had time to recuperate, and had the energy to find food and grass.
Recently, several forces have been secretly selling grain and grass. Although the price is extremely high, at this time, no matter how high the price is, there are still people buying grain. Especially in the imperial city where Ji Xin is located, there is no grain in stock. If there is no grain and grass supply, even if
Even if you eat animal meat, you won't be able to survive for long.
Although beasts reproduce quickly, they cannot keep up with humans' endless eating.
Therefore, when Ji Xin discovered that someone was secretly selling grain, she asked her men to buy it back at all costs.
Fortunately, the people who sell grain secretly do not have high requirements. Gold, silver and jewelry are fine, as are iron and bronze utensils. But if they are really not good enough...population is fine too.
Of course, these people must be talented, with doctors and craftsmen being preferred. Scholars are also acceptable, but their value is not high.
If Nan Jinzhao were here, he would definitely find that the ultimate goal of the food seller was to get iron and bronze utensils, or in other words, what the other party wanted was weapons, but...
Ji Xin doesn’t understand!
She has never managed a country. The most important thing is that she has always led the beast army to attack and rarely uses ordinary soldiers. Although she understands the importance of iron weapons, but...
For her at this moment, no matter how important those iron tools are, they are not as important as food.
Under Ji Xin's order, a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, ironware, bronzeware, and talents continuously passed through the hands of grain dealers and fell into the hands of the prince and Ji Yunkai.
Nan Jinzhao thought that the prince and Ji Yunkai had been focusing on recruiting troops and building cities for the people to resume farming and commerce for more than half a year, but he did not know that the prince and Ji Yunkai had been secretly expanding their power.
Now, the prince has money, people, food, and weapons. After more than half a year of training, the soldiers and refugees who had taken refuge with the prince have become qualified warriors.
Of course, there are also some who are unqualified, but these people were eliminated at the first opportunity.
For those who were eliminated by the army, Prince Wang and Ji Yunkai did not expel them like Nan Jinzhao. Instead, they arranged for the people to do whatever work they could in the city and exchanged their labor for daily necessities.
Anyone who takes refuge in the prince will not be without enough food and clothing, but the prerequisite is that you have to work hard. If you don't work, you won't be able to survive in the city.
When dealing with those lazy people who just want to eat for free, the prince will never show mercy and will kill them all!
In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and Ji Yunkai understands this principle very well.
At this time, once the prince becomes soft-hearted, the people below will be in chaos. The last thing they can afford now is chaos.
Under the power of the prince, and with the concerted efforts of everyone, the cities under the prince's name are becoming more and more prosperous. Each city is under military management. Although it cannot be said that everyone is a soldier, there is not a lazy person in the city, and there is not a person who is greedy for life or afraid of death.
Coward.
Therefore, when seeing Nan Jinzhao's army approaching the city, neither the soldiers guarding the city nor the people in the city showed any fear.
After training for more than half a year, they were looking for someone to test their skills, and someone came to their door, just in time... (To be continued)
