Li Tiechui and other prisoners were supposed to be executed in autumn, but most of them were disheartened and had no hope for the future.
Now that the Qinghe army has broken through the city of Guiyifu, they have rekindled hope for life in their hearts.
They waited to die in the dark and damp prison, surviving unkemptly, with a small amount of food just to keep them alive.
Except for some ruthless leaders who robbed others of their food with their fists and were still burly and powerful, most of the heavy prisoners were sallow and emaciated, as skinny as a stick.
At the moment when they walked out of the prison, Chen Ziang frightened them severely, and then boiled so many fat sheep for them to eat, making them afraid of Chen Ziang, but also full of gratitude to him.
Although they will be incorporated into the 9th Battalion in the future and work hard for Chen Ziang's charge, it is much better than dying in a dark prison as a wimp.
These heavy prisoners were so hungry that they devoured the boiled fat sheep one by one, without any regard for their image.
Because of the long-term food shortage of these heavy prisoners, Chen Ziang worried that they would burst their stomachs if they ate too much at one time, so the food provided was not much.
Soon, many pieces of meat in the cauldron were swept away, and those heavy prisoners who hadn't eaten yet stared coldly at the people next to them, and began to snatch them.
These are originally ruthless and brave people. When they were in prison, the ruthless people were able to grab the most food and live a more nourishing life, so the jailers didn't care.
But now Chen Ziang saw that some people still maintained the bad habit of robbing food, which made him frown involuntarily.
Chen Ziang pointed at Li Changqing's bodyguard, and Li Changqing and a dozen or so wolf-like brothers rushed straight up.
A ruthless heavy prisoner snatched a piece of meat from others and was gnawing on it when he was suddenly knocked down to the ground.
Li Changqing and others beat him up violently. At first he resisted fiercely, but then he was beaten and kicked so hard that he couldn't fight back.
When the heavy prisoners around saw this scene, some stared at the violent officer Chen Ziang in fear, while others gloated and remained indifferent.
"Hang it to the gate of the camp for me, and expose it to the sun for a day!"
When Chen Ziang saw the heavy prisoner whose nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he ordered coldly.
Soon, the heavy prisoner had his hands bound by ropes and hung on the flagpole at the gate of the camp as a sign of punishment.
"Let me tell you, I didn't care what happened to you in the past, but when you entered my 9th battalion, they were all Paoze brothers. If anyone dares to bully his own people, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Chen Ziang pointed to the heavy prisoner who was hung up, and once again warned these cruel heavy prisoners, asking them to abide by the rules.
Seeing that Chen Ziang was more vicious and violent than them, these murderous desperadoes didn't dare to do it again.
Seeing the fearful eyes of these people, Chen Ziang knew that they had at least expressed their surrender on the surface, but it was far from enough.
After giving these heavy prisoners a full meal, Chen Zi'ang immediately started to further subdue them.
If it is said that relying on violence and strict military discipline to restrain them is a tough method, then holding a complaint meeting is a psychological offensive.
According to Chen Ziang's request, more than 300 heavy prisoners sat in a big circle, surrounded by soldiers from the 9th Battalion in hard-wearing clothes.
"From now on, you will be organized into my 9th Battalion Death Squad, charge into battle, and be the first in every battle!"
After they had eaten and drank enough, the first thing Chen Ziang did was to tell them that they would be the Death Squad of the 9th Battalion from now on.
After hearing this, all the heavy prisoners were in an uproar, because they knew what the Death Squad meant.
Many people have even begun to have an idea in their hearts, that is, although they dare not resist the strong Chen Ziang openly, they must find a chance to escape at that time, otherwise they will not know how they died.
"Shut up for me!"
Seeing these heavy prisoners who were clamoring and showing fierce faces, Chen Ziang sneered, and they fell silent again.
"You are all death row prisoners. You were originally going to be executed by Qiuhou Wen. I will give you a chance to live, but I am not unconditional in saving you, so you have to be death squads and charge for me!"
"Of course, in the future, as long as you kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, you can be exempted from the status of death squads! Not only that, it is not impossible to overthrow the Far Eastern Dynasty in the future, and it is not impossible to be named a marquis and general, but you have to live until then. ??
Although it is full of temptation to be appointed as a marquis and worship a general, these heavy prisoners are ashamed when they think of their identity as death squads. It feels like they have just escaped from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again.
However, soon Chen Ziang changed the subject, rekindling the hope of these heavy prisoners.
"I am in a good mood today. I will give you a chance to express your grievances and complaints. If anyone satisfies me, you can now be exempted from the death squad?" Chen Ziang asked after looking around.
"My lord, will you be able to let us go if you prove that you have been wronged?" a heavy prisoner asked.
Chen Ziang shook his head and said, "No, I can only be exempted from the Death Squadron. If you want to leave my 9th Battalion, you have to make military exploits."
After hearing what Chen Ziang said, these heavy prisoners all whispered to each other, knowing that they had no choice now, because their lives were in Chen Ziang's hands.
"Who will come first to redress the grievances?"
Chen Ziang asked again.
"My lord, I'll come first!"
After everyone looked at each other, Li Tiechui, who was beaten up by Chen Ziang in the prison, stood up.
Chen Ziang looked up and down the burly and sturdy Li Tiechui, and asked, "Tell me, how did you get sentenced to death?"
"I killed three Wen County tax officials." Li Tiehammer replied indignantly.
"They have nothing against you, so why did you kill them?"
Li Tiechui said with red eyes: "There is a grudge!"
"Our family's blacksmith shop has already paid this year's tax, and they will charge additional taxes for next year and the year after. My father argued with them, and they beat my father to death in the street"
The more Li Tiechui talked, the more excited he became, and at the end, an old man burst into tears.
The surrounding soldiers of the 9th Battalion originally thought that Li Tiechui and others were heinous people, but after hearing what happened to him, they all cast sympathetic eyes.
"Yang Zhong!"
After Chen Ziang heard what had happened to Li Tiechui, he didn't immediately pardon him as a death squad, but turned his attention to Yang Zhong, a thousand-man general next to him.
Yang Zhong quickly rummaged through a box of files, found Li Tiechui's sentencing file, and handed it to Chen Ziang.
Seeing the dossier full of loopholes, Chen Ziang tore it into pieces in person.
"From now on, I will pardon your death squad status and restore your freedom. You can go home." Chen Ziang said.
"Thank you, my lord¡ª"
When Li Tiechui saw that Chen Ziang tore up the dossier, not only exempted him from being a death squad, but also let him go home, he immediately burst into tears of gratitude.
"My lord, my home has been destroyed by those dog officials. I don't have a home now. I was a dying person. You released me from the prison and gave me food. After my rotten life, I will be your lord." It's over!"
It's just that Li Tiechui didn't leave, because he killed the tax official, not only was he in prison, his mother fell ill and died soon, and now he is the only one alive in their family.
"Okay, from now on you will be a general of a hundred men."
Li Tiehammer Kong Wu is powerful, as long as he is properly trained, he will be a hero who can charge into battle, so Chen Ziang readily accepts it.
With Li Tiechui making a good start, those prisoners who had resentment in their hearts stood up and complained loudly.
Originally, they hated the officials of the dynasty, but they didn't have much hatred with Chen Ziang and the others. Now that they have poured out their psychological bitterness, they feel much more relaxed.
In these turbulent years, Chen Ziang and the others are now strong and strong, and they stay here not only to have a bite to eat, but also to take revenge.
Some ambitious people think that if they follow Chen Ziang and the others to fight against the Far Eastern Dynasty, if they really make military exploits, it is not impossible to be named a marquis and general.
Due to multiple factors, these heavy prisoners who were only surrendered by Chen Ziang began to willingly be incorporated into Chen Ziang's 9th Battalion.
Seeing these ruthless heavy prisoners expressed their willingness to pledge their allegiance one after another, a triumphant smile appeared on Chen Zi'ang's face.
