"Are you really going to let us go home?"
These dynasty army prisoners of war are also people with their families, so they naturally don't want to die in vain.
Now that Chen Ziang said he would pardon them, they still had doubts. After all, the rebel army used to kill prisoners of war, and they had never been so merciful.
"I, Chen Ziang, keep my word. As long as you lay down your weapons and promise not to fight against our rebel army in the future, I will not only let you go home, but also pay you travel expenses back home."
After hearing what Chen Ziang said, the prisoners of war were in an uproar. When did the rebel army become so benevolent?
"Those who are willing to lay down their weapons and go home now, come to my side to register and receive travel expenses."
"If you don't want to go home and want to continue serving as a soldier to eat food, go over there and wait. I have ordered the Huotou army to cook and cook. You will have a full meal later."
Chen Ziang didn't give these prisoners more time to think, and let them make a choice directly.
After Chen Zi'ang finished speaking, he asked two soldiers to bring a box of copper coins and a box of silver coins, and at the same time asked the military clerks to prepare paper for registration.
Seeing that Chen Ziang and the others didn't seem to be telling lies, the prisoners of the dynasty army hesitated for a while, and some of the more courageous ones came out first.
"In order to prevent you from taking the money and not going home, but continue to return to the Dynasty Army, so we have to register everyone's name and where they come from. If we meet again on the battlefield in the future, we will show no mercy!"
"And if I know that you will return to the Dynasty Army, I will announce the information, and I don't think the Dynasty Army will spare you."
Chen Zi'ang was naturally taking precautions, so when he wanted to let these prisoners go home, he also kept a hand.
These prisoners of war also looked at each other in blank dismay. Chen Ziang had cut off his retreat. They really couldn't return to the Dynasty Army in the future, so they had to go home.
"Name?"
"What kind of positions did you hold in the army of the Dynasty Army?"
"Where is your home, and who else is there?"
According to Chen Ziang's instructions, the military clerks carefully questioned and registered every prisoner who wanted to go home.
Although such registration has little effect in actual operation, it is at least a deterrent.
"Your home is in Qinghe Province. You can go home in two days and receive ten copper coins."
Chen Zi'ang personally distributed travel expenses to the registered prisoners of war, which flattered these prisoners of war.
"Thank you, General, thank you, General."
Feeling the heavy copper coins in his hands, the prisoners who escaped from the dead were grateful.
"Go back and farm well to support your family. Don't give your life to the imperial army. Go."
After Chen Zi'ang personally handed over the copper coins to these prisoners of war, he did not forget to kindly remind them.
Seeing that Chen Ziang really fulfilled his promise, not only pardoned them and let them go home, but also paid them travel expenses, those who were still watching all stepped forward one after another.
Li Lang and others originally planned to escape at night to avoid being beheaded by the rebel army.
But while the current scene made them puzzled, they also lost the idea of ????running away, because there was no need to run away, they just went forward to register, and then they could go home.
"Brother Li, shall we also register to go home?"
Seeing people taking money and leaving one after another, Li Lang's familiar soldiers were also eager to try.
"You take the money and go back, live a peaceful life, I won't go." Li Lang thought for a while and said.
"Brother Li, why is this?"
"I sold the land at a low price and spent more than 20 silver coins to fill the vacancy of the captain after my father died. Now I have nothing when I go back, and the Dynasty Army can't go back" Li Lang seemed a little affectionate and lonely.
Li Lang's father was also a captain of the garrison of Qinghe Province. After his death, Li Lang took a lot of money to replace his father.
Originally, Li Lang thought about spending a few years in the Provincial Guard and then marrying a wife.
But now as they were defeated by the rebels, his entire life trajectory changed accordingly.
Li Lang was very aware of the dynasty army's punishment system for defeated troops, killing one out of ten as a warning to others.
Now that Chen Ziang has registered their information again, even if they go back and escape the ten kills.If the punishment of ?? falls into the hands of the rebels, there will be no way out, so he can only stay.
Just like Li Lang, because there are more prisoners of war who are subject to various concerns, only more than two hundred of the more than a thousand prisoners of war actually left.
The other more than 800 prisoners of war finally stayed. They were willing to join the rebel army and continue to serve as soldiers and eat food.
Some of them were worried about being punished when they went back, some were ambitious and wanted to gain fame and fortune with the rebel army, and some simply wanted to find a place to eat.
Now the entire Far Eastern dynasty is heavily taxed and corrupt officials are rampant. Even if they go back, they have no way of life, so they simply stayed.
"Thanks to everyone who has not given up and is willing to stay and join our rebel army. We were enemies on the battlefield two days ago, but from today onwards, we are brothers who scoop food out of a pot. With me, Chen Ziang, eating in one bite, I will never go hungry you!"
Chen Ziang didn't expect that the number of people left behind greatly exceeded his expectations, so he seemed very happy.
Although he has now been appointed as a thousand-man general of the old battalion, except for Wang Hu and others, he is actually a polished commander.
After the battle with the dynasty army was over, the soldiers of the old battalion temporarily assigned to his command returned to the command of their respective generals.
Now these more than 800 recruited prisoners of the dynasty army have become the first batch of real subordinates of Chen Ziang.
These people used to be soldiers, and after simple drills, they are much better than civilians. Chen Ziang believes that as long as he trains well, he will be able to train them into a team of roaring tigers and wolves.
Li Lang and others don't know whether their choice is correct, but they have no other way to go now.
"Wang Hu!"
"have!"
"Bring up the cauldron and let these brothers have a full meal first!"
"No!"
Wang Hu and others admired and admired Chen Ziang very much, so they unswervingly supported Chen Ziang's decision.
Soon, the steaming hot food was served, Li Lang and other hungry people also ignored their own image, gobbled it up, and soon all the food was wiped out.
"have you eaten?"
After the meal, Chen Ziang gathered all the soldiers who had surrendered to give a lecture.
"I am full."
"full."
These soldiers now have full stomachs, and it is rare for them to have a full meal.
Although they used to be soldiers of the Dynasty Army, corruption was serious within the Dynasty Army, and they often did not have enough to eat.
"Why are you all weak like girls, tell me loudly, are you full?!" Chen Ziang looked around and shouted loudly.
"I am full!"
"Okay, this is like Lao Tzu's soldiers, with momentum!" A smile appeared on Chen Zi'ang's face. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
