Chapter 137 No Discrimination
Twelve days later, Ye Song came to the small fishing village with Zheng Fengshou, Wang Tai, and Zhou Mingyuan with a guard of 300 people.
The boys had just had a face-to-face meeting with Ye Anlan, and Ye Anlan stuffed them with a bunch of people, and sent them back to Mengshan _(:з」∠)_
Nearly 300 officers and soldiers who were drugged and starved, and those former officials who were not qualified to participate in rescue operations, were all packed away.
It is worth mentioning that in the past twelve days, Ye Anlan and the others rescued two groups of ex-officials who were in trouble.
The officers and soldiers responsible for escorting them together were less than a hundred, which shows how light these former officials are.
Of course, those officers and soldiers who were sent to **** them were obviously also a bunch of discarded children thrown by Shangfeng.
These people are living unsatisfactorily in the officialdom and the army, otherwise they would not be squeezed out and framed by this opportunity.
After Ye Anlan rescued or captured them and brought them back to the small fishing village, he saw that big shots like Pan Yunzheng had turned to Ye Anlan, and those officials were recruited directly by Ye Anlan without any resistance.
As for the nearly 100 soldiers, Ye Anlan also used her own fists, their own embarrassing situation, and the worse results they might face after returning home to "persuade" them in three stages called threatening, piercing, and intimidating.
These soldiers are all ordinary people who are clumsy, don't know much about things, and don't have any special background behind them. The reason why they join the army is just to make a living. Usually in the barracks, they are always Shangguan and other veterans. The child's oppressed object.
Being beaten down by Ye Anlan's set of punches, these soldiers had already defected one after another within less than a day after they were arrested.
After being brainwashed several times by Yang Xiaotao and Wei Zhenrunwu silently, these people became Ye Anlan's brainless fanatics in just a few days.
Pan Yunzheng was curious. He was so curious that he didn't even care about recuperating. After the second group of officers and soldiers who were captured turned their backs collectively and became Ye Anlan's brainless fanatics, Pan Yunzheng worked tirelessly and began to follow the newly captured The third wave of officers and soldiers.
Staring and staring, Pan Yunzheng could tell something was wrong.
He found Ye Anlan who was humming an unknown song to sort out the materials, "Miss Ye, I heard that you want to bring the families of those officers and soldiers to Mengshan?"
Ye Anlan nodded, "Except for those diehards who still need to be dealt with slowly, I will treat everyone equally."
The ex-officials who were rescued by them were okay, because the conditions offered by Ye Anlan were attractive enough. Not only were all of these people willing to stay, but they also didn't dare Do something to pass over.
The troublesome thing is the large group of officers and soldiers captured by them at the beginning. These people are all the confidantes of the commander of the Northwest Army, and they are not as easy to brainwash and instigate rebellion as the two groups of officers and soldiers later.
Ye Anlan couldn't do such a domineering thing like "those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish", but it was impossible for her to just send this group of people back to the capital.
At the very least, she has to find a scapegoat with a strong head and a hard neck, and ask him to help take the thunder┓(`)┏
In the past twelve days, she had people "accidentally" leak a little bit of their "origin" to these people one after another. After meeting Ye Song and the others, Ye Anlan ordered them to cooperate with Pan Yunzheng, who was mature and sophisticated, and acted a little bit on the road. In one scene, a misfortune came to the east, and the blame for the robbery was thrown to the uncle of the leader of the local rebel army.
This ready-made scapegoat man was carefully selected by Ye Anlan from among the many scapegoat reserves. When he is sober, he is not greedy for money, not lecherous, and not bullying others. He is very calm and reliable when doing things, but As long as you give him a few glasses of wine, he can immediately show you what a temperament change is.
It's like having two souls living in the body, one is shrewd and capable at an ordinary level, and the other is vicious and tyrannical that ordinary people can't even imagine.
Since this person did harm to ordinary people, and even the rebels in their own ranks, Ye Anlan chose him as the blame man without any pressure at all.
As for his good nephew who was the leader of the rebel army, he came from a wealthy family. When troubled times came, he immediately used his wealth to recruit soldiers, and he and his equally wealthy uncle formed a team together.
Because his uncle is both an elder and his most powerful supporter, this person usually does not restrain his uncle's behavior, and sometimes even helps clean up the mess.
A murderer who is about to explode from time to time, and an accomplice who is always ready to hand him a knife, even if Ye Anlan doesn't trick them this time, he will try to deal with them when he has the chance.
Now that they and the people of the court can bite dogs, Ye Anlan can save a lot of worry.
After packing up all these people and sending them away, Ye Anlan took the booklet that she had wrapped tightly in oiled paper, pretended to be a refugee, and went to the location given by the officials to pick up and rescue them.
Along with her were Yang Xiaotao and Wei Zhen, exactly 100 members of the guard that Ye Song and the others helped bring over, nearly 100 former officers and soldiers who had instigated Ye Anlan's rebellion before, 60 former fishermen, and now reserve members of the guard. , nine ex-officials or ex-official children who are barely qualified and will not hold them back.
For the convenience of traveling around, they pretended to be a small caravan that did not hesitate to take risks. Although they were often searched and squeezed by the rebels because of the goods in their hands, this also lowered the vigilance of the rebels from all over the place.
According to the route and plan formulated by Ye Anlan, they pretended to be peddlers, beggars, and traveling doctors as unobtrusively as possible to contact the relatives of officials and soldiers scattered in different places.
The ex-officials and soldiers who followed could avoid other idlers and show up directly. For those who failed to follow, Ye Anlan asked them to either provide tokens, letters, or tell themselves something that only they and their relatives knew Intimate matters.
Because of sufficient preparation, Ye Anlan and others easily gained the trust of the relatives of the former officials and soldiers.
It's just that trust belongs to trust, and trust doesn't mean that everyone is willing to leave their hometown with Ye Anlan and the others.
The family members of the exiled officials were willing to follow because of the difficult situation, while the families of the ordinary soldiers were reluctant to let go of their other relatives and could barely live in their hometown, so only about 30% were willing to follow Ye Anlan and the others Leaving home and going to unknown places.
They refused to leave. The former officers and soldiers that Ye Anlan had just recruited were begged by their wives and children, and some of them wanted to stay in their hometown.
Anyway, it is different now than when they joined the army. Now the imperial court has almost no control over the various places. Even if they stay in their hometown, they will not hurt their relatives because of their status as deserters.
I wish everyone a healthy Dragon Boat Festival (*︶*).. .:*
