At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

This is true for soldiers, and it is also true for Guo Jun as a strong and strong man.

His wife and family did not come with him for the time being, and he was full of flames and had nowhere to release, just like everyone else.

Both he and the army need a release channel, otherwise there will be problems.

So after much deliberation, he decided to use women to win over this group of elite fighters.

Of the 8 to [-] people captured, more than half were women, and there were also about [-] young people of the right age.

The advantage of the low average age of the locals is that there are many young people and young women.

Although their skin color is slightly darker and less delicate than that of Han people, it is not impossible to look at them. After washing and dressing up, they feel pretty good, and it is more than enough to be a concubine.

He decided to start selecting the young and beautiful ones from now on, and raise them now. When they are healthy and have no other diseases, they will start rewarding meritorious soldiers as concubines.

He thought it was a good idea.

Having a woman can not only win people's hearts and ease the soldiers' homesickness, but also increase the local population and increase the number of soldiers who can become soldiers.

Although the time span is relatively long, about 16 years or so, this is also population growth.

Furthermore, they can have several women in Xishu Principality, but it is illegal in Wei State.

Then once they choose to go back, they cannot continue to have the women and children born here. For them, it may not be a test.

The status and enjoyment here are completely different from the status and enjoyment obtained in the Wei Empire. Although the life is a little bit harder, the infrastructure construction cannot keep up, and the material is not so abundant, but there is status.

With the care of women and children, and then sending their original family members here so that they have a home here, then the nostalgia for their hometown may not be so serious, and people can be kept.

It is Guo Peng and Guo Jin's help to send people here, and it is Guo Jun's own ability to keep people.

If one's own ability is not as good as others' and cannot keep people, then it is really hard to say that it is Wei Guo's fault.

The State of Wei has done his utmost to benevolent and done many things for himself. If the Wei Empire had to use military orders to force this kind of thing, Guo Jun would be too ashamed.

You have to fight yourself.

Nothing else, but more money, more prisoners, more women, this is an advantage.

Learn to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to one's own advantages. This is an important skill that Guo Peng taught Guo Jun.

Just do what you say, and when Wang Haibo went out to perform the task, Guo Jun started to act.

He personally led people to inspect the prisoner camps, and made selections with his own eyesight, picking out those young women who looked passable, and put them into another camp.

Just stop doing heavy physical work for the time being, let them wash clothes, sew and mend, do some needlework for soldiers and so on, and then give them a little better food to take care of their bodies so that they don't get tired.

At the same time, military doctors were sent to diagnose and treat them to see if they were sick, and if they were sick, they would be cured;

Encountered some resistance on the way.

For example, it was originally a husband and wife, and the man didn't want his wife to be taken away. Before Guo Jun could react, the second ghost beside him rushed up to punch and kick.

Three or five people surrounded a man with punches and kicks, and they were so ruthless that they didn't care about the woman's heart-piercing screams, and they were beaten to death.

Then the people around screamed, their eyes were full of fear, and they didn't dare to move.

They are all captives and dare to resist?

Those who dare to resist will be punched and kicked to death!

Guo Jun would not do this kind of thing in person, or even let Wei Jun soldiers do it, but let the selected [Second Devil] do it.

This is the consistent practice of Wei's army in treating military prisoners.

I retreated to the second line, selected prisoners who worked hard to be team leaders, and gave them certain preferential treatment, such as exempting them from work, allowing rest, bathing, and wages and other welfare benefits.

More importantly, it also gave them the qualification to punish fellow prisoners of war under their care.

Everything about the compatriot prisoners of war is managed by them, and they decide. They don't care how to treat Wei Jun, Wei Jun only needs to work progress.

So they quickly began to domineering and wantonly insulting the compatriots they guarded.

Those who are given benefits will be given certain preferential treatment, and those who are not given benefits will be used to death. A small working group has also created a relationship between distant and near.

This group of people has done a lot more than Wei Jun, and they are trying their best to please the Wei Jun soldiers who came to inspect.

Compared with Wei Jun, they are hated by their own people even more.

Many coolie captives hated these two devils.

In this way, external contradictions are successfully transformed into internal contradictions.

Let the two devils do all the evil and bad things, successfully attract hatred and transform conflicts, and let Wei Jun get out of the way and become an untouchable object of rule. This method works as soon as it is used.

The method pioneered by Guo Peng was widely used in various parts of Wei State, and successfully completed the construction of a large number of large projects.

Now Guo Jun has also learned, learned from others, and is very good at managing prisoners. Basically, there have been no large-scale captive riots.

The same is true for the selection of beautiful young women this time.

Whichever one Guo Jun likes, the two devils will go up and grab it, pull it over, and then take it away directly, smiling like a chrysanthemum, for fear that Guo Jun will be a little unhappy.

If something went wrong, the two devils went up to punch and kick, three or five people went up together, punched and kicked together, Guo Jun couldn't bear to see it.

Being beaten to death like this is better than being hacked to death with a knife, at least it won't be so painful.

How painful it is to be beaten.

Guo Jun couldn't help but think of the pain of being whipped by Guo Peng with a stick when she was a child when she didn't work hard in martial arts. After many years, she can still remember that feeling, and she couldn't help shivering by the way.

Now looking at the prisoners of war who were beaten to death, I feel that if they die, it is better to choose to be killed by one blow, at least they will not feel pain.

Such a painful death certainly has a strong deterrent effect.

Soon, the prisoners of war did not dare to act rashly, and the woman did not dare to resist when she was taken away, and could only passively accept it.

Chapter 1495 One thousand four hundred and five Guo Jun's determination is very firm

Taking advantage of the hospitality of the second devils, Guo Jun almost selected more than 2000 women with decent looks.

At least it can be seen that the kind of crooked melons and dates that don't seem to have any interest can be rewarded to soldiers who have made military exploits.

Dozens of them are really good looking, even if viewed from Guo Jun's eyes, they can be regarded as beauties.

Guo Jun hesitated for a moment, and decided to give up enjoying them for herself, and reward them all to those officers who have made great contributions or obeyed his orders.

His own enjoyment can take the back seat.

The most important thing now is to calm down, to win the hearts of the soldiers, to let them obey themselves, become their own soldiers, and fight for themselves.

With his status, there is no shortage of women.

But the problem is that the number of qualified women is not enough, and the number of soldiers who have made meritorious service is too large. After rewarding more than 2000 people, there are still more than 7000 left.

The so-called people do not suffer from scarcity but from inequality. If the soldiers cannot be given one in a short period of time, some soldiers will be dissatisfied.

At this time, Guo Jun, as the supreme commander, needs to lead by example.

You don't, right?

I do not have either.

As Supreme Commander, neither did I.

Who told us that we don't have much meritorious deeds and that we don't have many heads?

It doesn't matter, let's hold it together, bear it, when I have a woman, I'll reward you first, if you don't have one, I definitely won't have one!

The Supreme Commander shares weal and woe with you!

In this way, the dissatisfaction of soldiers who were not assigned women can be curbed.

At least I don't feel that Guo Jun is not interesting enough. It's quite emotional to hold back with these big soldiers in his capacity.

And those who were rewarded in advance will also feel touched, feel that they have been respected, feel that their struggle is valuable, and will be more willing to fight for Guo Jun.

After deciding on such a strategy, Guo Jun did not sit still, and did what he said, announcing to the outside world that he would reward women as concubines to officers and soldiers who had made great achievements.

It is said that although everyone is not qualified to take concubines, this is not the Kingdom of Wei, but the Principality of Xishu. Here, there is a new standard. As long as the meritorious service is high enough and the harvest is enough, you can get enough rewards, regardless of your status high and low.

Guo Jun announced that according to the level of merit, the meritorious soldiers will be rewarded in batches.

Since there are only more than 2000 young, beautiful and healthy women who can be rewarded, they must be ranked according to their merits from high to low.

When the news came out, the soldiers and officers who thought they had made great achievements naturally felt extremely excited and stimulated.

Really, during this period of time, everyone was busy opening up base areas, busy surviving, fighting to avoid hunger, and really had no time to think about women.

After the living environment improves and the stomach is no longer hungry, people will start to pay attention to other needs.

Then the soldiers noticed that every morning when everyone woke up, they became Juren.

One by one, they put up tents and said good morning to each other, and then put up tents to go out to practice. It was embarrassing and inconvenient for everyone to see each other.

This situation was noticed by the officers and they reacted upwards.

Of course, the officers themselves also encountered such a situation. Every morning when they wake up, they find that they have also become Juren, and they are embarrassed to set up a tent and go out to lead the soldiers to exercise.

This is very embarrassing.

After reflecting upwards layer by layer, no news came over for a while, and Guo Jun didn't respond either.

Until the day when they finally got settled.

But then everyone discovered to their dismay that only more than 2000 people could get women in the first batch, and the rest had to wait.

Guo Jun doesn't seem to plan to open up a special camp for the soldiers to entertain, on the grounds that they are afraid of getting sick.

Everyone can understand this.

Back then, this problem really made a group of people in the army lose their heads. Guo Peng was very angry and killed many people in several barracks. Many veterans at that time still remember it vividly.

But the problem has to be solved. More than 2000 healthy women are promised to serve as concubines to more than 2000 soldiers, so what about the remaining 7000 people?

Do you stare?

Of course the problem cannot be solved in this way.

So Guo Jun expressed his determination to the whole army.

It is said that considering the unpleasant things that happened in the Wei army, he decided not to open a [Military Paradise] exclusively for soldiers to enjoy, but decided to try to assign concubines to every soldier, which would not only satisfy the soldiers, but also can take care of their lives.

But because they had just arrived in the New World and were not familiar with the place, the number of prisoners of war they obtained was limited, so there were only so many young, beautiful and healthy women selected, and there were no more.

So in desperation, I can only choose to let some officers and soldiers with relatively high credit take the lead in taking concubines, which is considered fair and just.

In order to show his determination and sincerity, he decided to be the last one.

As long as there is a soldier who hasn't got a concubine, he will never take a concubine. He is ranked last in the army, and he will enjoy it when everyone enjoys it. Before that, he will hold back with everyone!

He will personally preside over the concubinage ceremony, assign concubines to the soldiers in front of everyone, and he will not keep any of them.

This statement surprised the whole army.

The soldiers did not expect that Guo Jun, who is the prince, would really be willing to share the joys and sorrows with them, and thought it was just talking.

The lower body is not so easy to control, otherwise there would not be so many troubles caused by the inability to control the lower body in history, and Liu Xiahui would not be famous for being calm.

But if you really make up your mind to control it, then this person must be very remarkable.

If Guo Jun, as the prince, can hold back and endure with them, then it is not impossible for them to wait for the next batch of prisoners to be caught.

The vague resentment in the army gradually dissipated.

At this time, the officers of the army at the Sima level collectively expressed——

Soldiers are the ones who charge the most. They should be the first to enjoy it. Their officers should follow Guo Jun. When the soldiers have enjoyed it, they will enjoy it again. They will firmly stand with Guo Jun.

There were five army Sima who took the lead at the beginning, Zhao Xuan, Liu Guang, Qin Chengyuan, Lu Guangbo, and Zhou Xun.

These five military commanders from the martial arts hall took the lead in forming an alliance and decided to share the joys and sorrows with Guo Jun. If he doesn't want women, they don't want any.

This has led to the mentality of officers at the Sima level of the entire army not wanting to lag behind.

Women, as long as there are wars, there is no rush for this moment.

But following Guo Jun and becoming his own person, such an opportunity doesn't come along all the time.

The officers gradually had some ideas, thinking that following Guo Jun to create a foundation here, they might be able to work as a senior officer like a general in the future, and if they return to the Wei Empire, they don't know when they will be promoted.

Because there are basically no wars in the Wei Empire.
