Liu Bu's expeditionary army, since the landing of Tianjin Wei, has always been ready to meet the comprehensive counterattack of the Ming army at any time, enter the heart of the enemy at any time, and fall into the vast ocean of the enemy's people's war.
But they did not encounter this situation. The local people were not hostile to them. Even after they took out some food and salt to these people, most people expressed a sense of gratitude.
In the Chinese army camp, they need a large number of civilian men to work for them. If it is the Ming army, they are afraid that they will directly send corvee to the local people, or directly send soldiers to catch them, so that they can serve the army and work for free.
The Chinese army did not do so. They set up a recruitment office outside the camp gate to recruit local people to work for them, which can be paid with copper plates, grain, salt, cloth and so on.
At first, they still suspected that this was the enemy's base camp. At the core, they might not be able to recruit people. The local people should hate it, destroy their homes, occupy their territory and fight against them everywhere.
Not surprisingly, when they first started recruiting, they only recruited more than a dozen people. Even if their doors were filled with copper plates, grain, salt and cloth, the local people were unmoved and indifferent to watching them play monkey games.
However, when more than a dozen people dared to work for them, many people were still sneering. Is it easy to take the official money? It's very hot. You want their silver, they want your life.
Because these people are used to working for officials and bearing corvee. It's impossible for you to expect the government to pay for your food. Many people go to bear the corvee of the government. If they don't take the money to bribe, they are afraid that they will let the servant or foreman directly kill you and pay you back? There is no such truth in the world.
However, after these dozen people did some lifting work for the Chinese army, when they left the camp that evening and went back with cloth and grain, they caused a sensation in the local area.
The next day, before dawn, a large number of civilian men came to sign up at the gate of the camp. They were full of hope for fear that they would not be left behind.
It's not that they don't want to earn money from the Chinese army, but they are afraid that the Chinese army will cheat them, because these people have been cheated by the government more than once and a half. Who hasn't been tossed by the government has no temper. Working for the government, you have the best food and materials, and dare to ask for money?
Now the troops from the south are really different. These soldiers dress very neat and powerful, have a dignified appearance and speak very politely. They will not go to the street to eat, drink, whore and gamble and bully the people. Even if they have some officers and soldiers, they are very kind when they go to the street, and they will pay for business. They will never bully the weak.
Now they hire people to work, but they don't let the people bear corvee or catch the civilian husband directly in the name of the government. They recruit people at the door and pay directly, which makes the local people a sensation. It's the God of wealth.
At the beginning, they couldn't recruit anyone, but after two or three days, they recruited a large number of people. These people joined their team to help them load and unload materials, transport logistics materials, etc. Although the Chinese army paid a lot of money and food for this, it was worth it, which allowed them to draw out a large number of people, Focus on fighting ahead.
After the fourth day, the Chinese army will not lack logistical manpower. As long as they recruit people, they can easily recruit a large number of people to work for them.
These people can get wages on the same day. They work very hard and actively. Moreover, the price offered by the Chinese army is quite high in their eyes. The daily salary can almost make a family eat five for a few days.
This is a very good job. As long as the local people can climb, they almost come here to help. They hope to find some jobs and ask for a salary.
These personnel can not help the Chinese army fight, but they can help the Chinese Army unload materials, transport food, wash clothes and cook, dig camps, erect HaoGou and do all kinds of logistics work, so that the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army can draw out a large number of people to focus on the battle.
Seeing such a scene, Liu Bu was relieved. He didn't like the people. He still missed Zhu Ming and was loyal to Zhu Ming. He didn't ask the people to be loyal and grateful, but liked the people. Milk is his mother.
Liu Bu doesn't ask the people to unconditionally be loyal to them and work for the Liu family. The Liu family will pay the price, which is what they should do.
Liu Bu and his son, since they won Shandong and Jianghuai, they are the people who have the opportunity to sit on the throne. They think more about things. Now they think more far. It is more difficult to fight the world and defend the world. Now they begin to consider and compete for the hearts of the people all over the world.
They know very well how Daming lost the world and how they got the world, so being kind to the people has become the number one thing they have to consider.
Whether Liu Yuanqiao or Liu Bu, they are not people who love the people like children, but also despise the poor. Treating these people like this is not out of inner kindness and kindness, but contains great utilitarianism.
They just want to trade with these people, get their support and work for them.
Of course, even if they have this idea, they are very reasonable. Of course, they are businessmen. They will not think that if I sit in the world, I am the emperor of the world, the co Lord of the world and the people of the world, I have to unconditionally support him and serve him unconditionally. If you don't obey, I'll sue you for disobedience and conspiracy.
But the Liu family is different. When they were born as businessmen, they were destined to have different ideas. Even if they sat in the world, they all cooperated with the people.
If you want to do business for a long time, you need everyone to make profits. Different positions and views are different. In the eyes of the Liu family, the previous government actions are actually no different from robbing.
In this era, if you want to rob others, you have to be stronger than others. When you are weaker than others, you can't rob others. Moreover, if you rob others, there is only one end. If others endure, there will be a bottom line. If you cross this bottom line, you will rise up and the world is in chaos.
Liu Bu's father and son, they always think of one, and the two sides are a cooperative relationship. In Liu Yuanqiao's eyes, it is equivalent to hiring people to be tenant farmers. I provide you with land, and you pay the rent. My land has ethnic origin, and the people have to eat. Everyone has their own place. Isn't it fun.
Liu Bu's idea is more simple. Looking at the world, it is a huge joint-stock cooperative company. Everyone is working for the company.
This is equivalent to the chairman, directors, managers at all levels, and even the most ordinary employees. They form a huge group. Everyone pays for this group. Everyone also relies on this group to obtain food for raising their children and a place to live, so that they can eat and wear warm, It has been passed down from generation to generation. Only in this way can the world enjoy long-term stability.
Therefore, after entering the local area, the Chinese army has always adopted a cooperative relationship. As long as they are willing to cooperate with them and make a fortune together, they all draw in. If they are hostile to them, they do not hesitate to eradicate them.
Like these people, this is the best, the best to win over. You let them eat and wear warm clothes, and basically they won't make trouble.
These officials asked for more. Although Liu Bu had only tens of thousands of workers, they quickly recruited tens of thousands of migrant workers, which greatly enhanced their progress. They could have enough manpower to transport these weapons, ammunition and set up camps for them.
This means that Liu bu used all his soldiers in front-line combat and put forward a strong lineup.
In the eyes of officials in Beijing, the Chinese Army outside the city is full of flags, swords and guns, barracks and boundless. They have never seen such a scene that all the roads have been cut off.
After completing the siege of the capital, if they did not launch a fierce attack immediately, they ordered their archers to fire a large number of bows and arrows into the city outside the city gates.
These bows and arrows are not to shoot the people and residents in the city, but mainly to shoot the letter of surrender.
They ordered the propaganda office to rush more than 100000 surrender letters overnight. These surrender letters entered the city through bows and arrows. They even used a catapult because the catapult had a longer range and could send these letters farther and more. They saw several catapults continuously projecting a large number of surrender letters into the city.
After flying into the air, these letters spread like snowflakes flying all over the sky.
Even if the government wanted to hide and confiscate these letters, they couldn't do such a big scene.
Since ancient times, the siege war has always focused on attacking the heart. Even if it encircles the enemy, it must take all kinds of means to disintegrate the enemy's desperate resistance.
Liu Bu was worried that millions of soldiers and civilians in the city would fight together. They would be in trouble.
Even if they can forcibly break through the city, the people in the city will be in trouble with them everywhere, and they will be unable to move.
Therefore, they sent a large number of surrender letters to the city to tell these people that the Chinese army was safe wherever it went, and they also promised the people that those who obey us will prosper, those who oppose us will die, and those who obey the Chinese army will get glory, wealth and honor, and those who dare to resist the Chinese army will die without burial place.
Their main purpose in doing so is to prevent the imperial court from tying the whole city together and burning jade and stone with the Chinese army.
Even if the imperial court and officials are ready to kidnap the people to fight against the Chinese army, when these people receive the letter of commitment and surrender letter from the Chinese army, they know the policies of the Chinese military government and won't fight against the Chinese army.
This is called attacking the heart
