The carriage arrived at the prisoner-of-war camp all the way. Special soldiers were on guard throughout the prisoner-of-war camp to prevent Liu's private army from mutinying and causing trouble.
However, since being captured, these Liu family's private soldiers have always been honest and very peaceful.
Even in the days when Heyang City was surrounded by Liu's 300,000-strong army, these prisoners did not cause the slightest trouble.
He spent his days in the prisoner-of-war camp in a muddle-headed manner. Even though he could only drink two bowls of porridge a day, he was still quite satisfied with his current life.
No matter what, he is still alive.
After getting off the carriage, the general responsible for controlling the prisoner of war camp was waiting in advance.
He leaned forward, intending to accompany Jiang Fan to inspect the prisoner of war camp, but Jiang Fan waved him back.
With the two masters Lin Wanru and Lin Wanqing following them, a group of hungry prisoners in the prisoner of war camp who were almost out of strength could not pose any threat at all.
The entire prisoner of war camp is surrounded by a square barbed wire fence. After all, there is no electricity in this world, and it is impossible to prepare a power grid. Therefore, these barbed wire fences are covered with thorns and thorns. In addition, there are one post every ten steps and one sentry every five steps. The guarding is tight enough.
.
The inspection of the prisoner-of-war camp was arranged in advance, so with Jiang Fan's arrival, everyone in the prisoner-of-war camp was gathered together.
More than 4,000 people stood in the open space in the middle of the prisoner of war camp, looking completely devoid of energy.
Everyone's eyes were dull. Even when Jiang Fan led Lin Wanru and Lin Wanqing to the temporary high platform in the open space, no one made any reaction.
He just looked at Jiang Fan blankly, looking indifferent.
"Everyone should know me, so I won't introduce myself. The reason why I came here today is to inform everyone of something."
Jiang Fan spoke loudly, finally attracting the attention of the four thousand people in front of him to himself.
"I think everyone must have heard that not long ago, your Liu family gathered an army of 300,000 people and launched an attack on Heyang City, hoping to capture Heyang. But unfortunately, the gap in combat effectiveness is too big, and the army of 300,000 people
Not only failed to capture Heyang, but were defeated by our Heyang defenders. Currently, tens of thousands of people have become new prisoners and have been placed in new prisoner of war camps. Of course, there are also dozens of people who have been placed here
, I believe you can understand what happened through the mouths of those dozens of people."
Jiang Fan said with a smile.
All the soldiers who were previously captured by the Liu family's private army who were responsible for breaking off the rear by attacking the city were temporarily escorted to the newly built prisoner of war camp.
At the same time, in order to further completely destroy the will of resistance of the thousands of people who were first captured, Jiang Fan also made special arrangements to imprison some of them in this prisoner of war camp.
After all, the first few thousand people who were captured had never seen the power of firearms. Only through the subsequent reduction of soldiers and popular science, they could understand how terrifying the current Heyang defenders were.
Sure enough, as Jiang Fan said these words, the eyes and expressions of the thousands of people gathered finally changed.
It's just that this change tends to be frightening.
"Everyone should know that according to my idea, as long as the Liu family can pay enough ransom, then you can all be released. But unfortunately, the Liu family has no intention of ransoming you. Regarding the issue of ransom,
Without giving any positive response, what was directly arranged was for an army of 300,000 to gather for an attack. I think everyone knows exactly what this means."
Jiang Fan paused and gave these prisoners some time to think before continuing: "You have been abandoned. At least in Liu's view, you are not worthy of the ransom they paid to redeem you. So think about it, during this period of time, we
The same goes for the other prisoners."
"To be honest, keeping you in a prisoner-of-war camp is not a big burden for us in Heyang City. But for me, I am unhappy after all, raising you for nothing. I plan to use you in exchange for ransom.
The idea has been shattered, everyone...if you were me, what would you do?"
All the prisoners couldn't help but look at each other, and soon someone shouted: "Master Jiang! We don't want to die! Give us a way to live!"
"Yes! Mr. Jiang! Give us a way to survive!"
The sound became noisy.
Jiang Fan stretched out his hand and pressed it, and said with a smile: "Before I came, I did think that it might be easier to kill you all, and it would be over. I don't have to worry about you rebelling and causing chaos again, and I don't have to let you waste my Heyang City in vain.
of food, but at this moment, standing here looking at you, I feel a little unable to do anything."
"War is cruel, but in the final analysis, war is a tool used by those ambitious people to achieve their own ambitions. How innocent are you? I can't bear to bury your lives here for the sake of other people's ambitions."
"So I have another idea. You can join Heyang, contribute to the construction of Heyang, use your own hands to earn money, and then support yourself. As for the army, you are not without hope, but you need
Only after strict review and passing the review can you become a member of the Heyang Army."
"In this way, I no longer have to raise you in vain, and you no longer have to worry about being a prisoner. Of course, when you first join Heyang City, you will still be restricted, and the rights you can enjoy are the same as those of the original Heyang people.
It’s incomparable.”
"I believe you can understand this. As long as you can work hard in the following days and completely integrate into Heyang, and with the recommendation of the local people in Heyang, you can truly break away from your status as a prisoner and become an official
The people of Heyang.”
"In addition, I won't just give you one way. If you don't want to join Heyang, or if you still have relatives in Liu's territory and want to go back to reunite with your relatives, I won't stop you. You can go. But there are
I want to explain something."
Jiang Fan paused again, looked around at all the prisoners in the field, and continued: "On the battlefield, everyone is his own master. I don't have any extra thoughts about you. But this time I let you go back because it is for you.
A way to survive so that you can live the life that ordinary people should live."
"If you don't cherish this opportunity, rejoin Liu's private army after you return, and participate in this war as Liu's private army again in the future, then there is no excuse but death! Everyone is leaving
After that, identity registration will be carried out. Our Heyang army will never be captured twice!"
"Now, let's start the registration. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to leave, you can leave after registering."
