Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

When Lin Yuan saw the city gate slowly opening from the inside of Gaoyou, he was a little dazed.

After all, he didn't arrange for anyone to instigate rebellion, so this move was the choice made by Gaoyou's soldiers themselves?

Not only Lin Yuan, but the people who followed him were dumbfounded. Even the soldiers who were attacking the city did not expect such a situation.

Isn't this opening the door by yourself and waiting for them to enter?

It almost didn't say "Welcome to Gaoyou".

Lin Yuan shouted: "Go to the city!"

Regardless of whether this was the opponent's scheme or not, they had to rush in now. Even with explosives, it was not easy to enter the city. Although the city gate was wooden, its thickness was not something that explosives could penetrate.

The sacrifice would be even greater with a bumper.

Lin Yuan held up the long saber, and the Lin family's army reflexively rushed into the city gate pointed at by the point of Lin Yuan's saber before thinking about it.

Before attacking Gaoyou, Lin Yuan had repeatedly instructed them not to allow them to invade the people in Gaoyou and rob them of their property.

In fact, Lin Yuan can understand why after the battles in ancient times, most of the generals would not care whether the soldiers under them would fight, smash, or loot, because the soldiers who had just experienced the war were still in the stage of extreme excitement, and they needed to vent. In order to gather soldiers, generals will not restrict them.

As for public grievances?That is something the emperor has to consider. These generals just fight, how to subdue them depends on the officials sent by the imperial court.

The only way Lin Yuan could think of to get the soldiers out of their excitement was to rob the government office.

He also brought a large amount of food and meat, so that after the war, the soldiers could vent their appetites and smash government offices.

Although I also know that such a method may not work, there is no better way at this stage.

If soldiers want to develop the habit of not smashing, they can only rely on subtle training.

It's just that their training time is still too short.

Maybe when the time comes to organize the people in the city to thank them, it will arouse their sense of responsibility and heroism.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Bosong were the first to lead the soldiers into Gaoyou City.

The soldiers behind them followed their steps.

Lin Yuan can't afford cavalry now, so he can only use infantry.

Fortunately, most of the current Yuan Dynasty army is composed of Han people. In the late Yuan Dynasty, there are not many cavalry left when the Yuan Dynasty looked down on the world.

Chen Bosong's long knife was sharpened. He rode on the horse, turned his head to avoid the long knife, got off the horse, grabbed the opponent's weapon with his bare hands, and stabbed the opponent through the chest.

Only then did he mount his horse again and continue to rush forward.

In the fight of cold weapons, it is to see who is more agile and whose weapons are sharper.

Right behind Chen Bosong, members of the gunpowder team shouted: "Get down!"

Everyone on the Lin family's army fell down upon hearing the sound, only Gaoyou's soldiers didn't know why, and stood there stupidly with their weapons raised.

I saw a flash of flames in front of my eyes, a huge explosion sounded in my ears, and iron pieces flew out of the gunpowder bag. Only the Gaoyou soldiers in civilian clothes had no time to react, and the people standing at the position hit by the gunpowder had already fallen down. Many people were affected by the iron sheet. Those who were lucky were only scratched, and those who were unlucky were directly hit in the body by the iron sheet.

This time Lin Yuan brought a lot of gunpowder, almost throwing gunpowder bags for free.

After the gunpowder packs were thrown away, Gaoyou's soldiers were either killed by the bomb or were stunned. They had never seen such a scene before. Their eyes were full of flames, and their ears seemed to be deafened by the huge explosion.

Chen Bosong and Zhu Yuanzhang also caught them off guard at this time.

Compared with the soldiers of Gaoyou, the soldiers on Lin Yuan's side had more faith-although this belief came from feudal superstition.

But this belief filled them with courage and made them extremely brave.

What's more, the low-level soldiers in Gaoyou can barely eat enough, and it is rare to see meat once a month.

The soldiers on Lin Yuan's side were different. Lin Yuan did not lose to them, especially when it came to food. It was almost a waste of money to ensure that the soldiers had a good physique.

——Although it is not to the extent of throwing pots and pieces of iron.

Before he set off, he gave the soldiers a hard time, telling them that the reason why they were not as full as before was that they were so hungry that they made him poor, so in order to be full, Gaoyou had to be shot down. They can live a life where they can eat meat once every three days.

"Kill!" Chen Bosong shouted in front.

The soldiers behind followed: "Kill!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Chen Bosong, presumably in order not to be compared by Chen Bosong, so he rushed over immediately.

……

After fighting for two days and one night, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when they took down Gaoyou, and it would be bad for them to delay.

However, Lin Yuan didn't have time to relax. He had to take care of the casualties first, appease the common people, and consider how to deal with the prisoners of war.

"Master, take a rest." Chen Bosong, who woke up from a nap, couldn't help persuading Lin Yuan, who was still standing outside waiting for someone to report the count of the number of war dead.

Lin Yuan rubbed his face, struggled to stay awake, and said to Chen Bosong, "I won't be able to fall asleep if I don't deal with it all at once."

Chen Bosong was helpless: "It's not a day's work."

Lin Yuan smiled: "You actually know this sentence."

Chen Bosong: "I heard it from the scholars in the village."

Regarding this scholar, he was also arrested by Lin Yuan, and now he is a gentleman in Taizhou, and he has made the best use of it.

The main reason is that Lin Yuan found out that this scholar was really just a scholar, and he was stupid to read, so he only asked this man to teach the children how to read and read. As for other things, other teachers taught them.

Even the curriculum was formulated by Lin Yuan.

As for his problem of thinking too much, Lin Yuan couldn't change it himself.

So always busy.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang brought his men over, bowed to Lin Yuan first, and then said: "Two thousand and six hundred and twenty brothers died."

Although Lin Yuan was well prepared, he couldn't help but gasped when he heard the number.

"Bury them well, and give 20 taels of pension to those with family members."

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.

After the subordinates left, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Bosong stood beside Lin Yuan respectively.

"Master." Zhu Yuanzhang still used the original address, "there are more than 300 prisoners of war."

Lin Yuan: "Close it first."

The family members of these people may not all be in Gaoyou. What needs to be worried now is that if they are accepted, if someone among them informs the court, this will become a problem.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yuan said, "Let them starve for a while first."

Zhu Yuanzhang responded.

As for how to subdue them and eliminate those who may have contact with the imperial court, it will be considered later.

Zhao Xiaosi huddled in a corner of the prison. It was his first time on the battlefield, and he became a prisoner before he could react.

More than a dozen people were imprisoned in this small cell. They were still covered with blood and some had stab wounds. They couldn't lie down. There wasn't such a big space. They could only sit next to each other. They were really tired. , just leaned on the body of the robe and slept for a while.

Zhao Xiaosi is the youngest among them. He is only 13 years old and only half the height of his peers.

Zhao Xiaosi whispered, "I'm so hungry."

The comrades did not speak, and the sound of stomach growling was heard one after another in their ears.

hungrier.

While they were sitting numbly, the jailers came in. These jailers were the soldiers brought by Lin Yuan, and they came to manage the prison temporarily.

The jailers had just received their own meals outside, and they happened to bring them in to eat, which also made the prisoners greedy.

These meals are all made by Lin Yuan's artisans. It is impossible to use iron, but they are all made of copper. There are copper mines in Taizhou, and not many are mined, but it is cheaper for him.

When making the dinner plate, it was still the blueprint drawn by Lin Yuan.

The style of the dinner plate is the one in the cafeteria when he was in college.

The fragrance of rice soon spread all over the prison.

The prisoners were even more hungry, and looked at the jailers with green eyes.

The jailer spat at them: "What are you looking at? Be careful to gouge out your eyeballs!"

After spitting, he said triumphantly: "Did you have such food when you dog Chaoting was a soldier?"

"Have you ever eaten so much rice?"

"How often do you eat meat?"

Among the prisoners of war, there is a courageous one who is not afraid of death: "Eat meat once a month."

He swallowed: "I have never eaten white rice in my life."

The jailer laughed and said, "I haven't eaten it before. Since I came to Nan Bodhisattva's tent, I can eat meat once every three days, steamed buns are enough every day, and rice once every seven days."

The prisoner asked again: "I heard that you don't need to be beaten by the prison army?"

The jailer took a sip: "There is no need for the supervisor to speak. If a class member doesn't know what's going on, the classmate will beat him up."

Otherwise, the evaluation of a class will be over.

If the evaluation is excellent, not only will the entire barracks be named and praised, but also a can of stewed vegetables will be given.

There are meat, vegetables, and sauce, enough for a grown man to eat for a day.

Not only that, but white rice.

Everyone in the class has it.

If someone dares to hold back, there is no need for the supervisor to speak, the people in the same class have already taught him a lesson in private.

Because the military camp does not allow fighting with weapons, they are afraid of being reported, so the way they teach them is just reasoning. If the reasoning is not enough, they will deal with it coldly.

The training intensity of the reform-through-labor class was higher than that of all other classes. It almost never stopped from morning to night, and was watched all the time. If you want to be lazy, you can increase the intensity.

Now the barracks takes the squad as the lowest unit, and then the platoon.

In a short period of time, they all have a sense of collective honor.

The prisoners of war don't understand, why is there such a big gap between them all serving as soldiers?

He is a bachelor, with no seniors, no children, and no wife. He shouted: "My lord! I am willing to serve Nan Bodhisattva!"

"My lord! Accept me!"

Zhao Xiaosi looked at the prisoner of war, and he wanted to shout too, but he didn't dare.

He lowered his head and thought, if someone still shouted, would he follow along?

If there are so many people together, he will not be afraid.
