Chapter 39 Yi Shi surrenders troops!

They were all so hungry that they lost their temper, waiting to be punished like a log.

"We are the Red Turban Rebels. I think everyone is a member of the Han family. They are forced to work for Meng Ta. Marshal Zhu has pity on you and has decided not to kill you!"

"It is the duty of a man of the Han family to expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"If any of you are willing to join the rebel army, all of you will be paid two taels of silver a month, enough for food and clothing, and you will never be in arrears!"

"If you don't want to join, that's okay, Marshal Du has also decided to release you to go home, and give each of you [-] yuan for traveling expenses!"

As soon as Zhu Han's words fell, the prisoners who had been in a dead silence suddenly widened their eyes, all with surprised and doubtful expressions.

They couldn't believe it was all true.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had promised not to kill them when he was captured, even if he did not kill them, the fate of being captured would definitely not be good. Either he would be treated as a coolie in the army like cattle or horses, or he would be driven into battle in the future. consumables.

No one thought that these red scarf thieves would release them and pay them travel expenses?

Just when the prisoners were all puzzled, there was a cold snort of dissatisfaction suddenly from the crowd.

"Hmph! If you want to kill or cut, come to grandpa, don't use these insidious tricks!"

Zhu Han followed the prestige, and saw that this person looked fierce, like Li Kui, the black whirlwind.

He immediately understood that these captives did not believe that they would be released, and they would also pay travel expenses. There must be a big conspiracy.

Sure enough, after the fake Li Kui spoke, many prisoners also looked filled with righteous indignation.

One of the ways that Mongolian Tartars often tortured and killed criminals was to pretend to release them so that the captives could escape, and then the Mongols hunted and killed them on horseback for fun.

These captives had all seen this trick before.

"Hahaha, what is the status of Marshal Du, do you think it doesn't count to talk like those Mongolian Tartars? If you want to stay, you can stay, and if you want to leave, you will never force it to stay!" Zhu Han said loudly.

The words have been said so clearly, the prisoners are basically relieved.

Many of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks.

"Marshal Du is so kind and virtuous!"

"Marshal Du is so kind, we will never dare to offend you in the future!"

"Marshal Gaohou Bandai!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these surrendered captives who knelt and thanked, and admired Zhu Han's countermeasures in his heart.

After these people go back, even if they join the Yuan army again, it will only make the Yuan army even less motivated to fight against themselves!
Zhu Han waited until they finished kneeling, thanking and cheering, and then continued.

"However, before letting you go, I want you to promise one thing!"

When the prisoners below heard this, their hearts tightened again.

"My lord, don't you know what's going on?"

The prisoner in the front row dared to ask.

With a solemn expression, Zhu Han said loudly.

"Marshal Du let you go back and gave each of you five hundred dollars, then you must promise not to rob or steal or harass the people on the road!"

Zhu Han's words immediately moved the surrendered soldiers.

They all secretly thought in their hearts: What kind of traitor is this? They don’t kill surrenders, don’t torture surrenders, release captives, return travel expenses, and care about the people on the road. They are really proper volunteers!
They looked at the banner of "Walk for the Heaven" behind Zhu Han, and felt that it was so shocking.

"Don't worry, my lord, we promise!"

"My lord, if I steal a piece of grass on the way, I will die!"

"Marshal Du is benevolent and righteous, we will use our lives to guarantee that we will not plunder the people!"

These surrendered soldiers made guarantees, either true or false.

"Okay, those who decide to stay and join the rebel army, stand on my left, and those who are willing to go home, go to my right to collect travel expenses!"

Zhu Han stretched out his left and right hands to direct.

Most of the captives chose to go back, and rushed to Zhu Han's right hand to collect travel expenses.

However, there were still more than a dozen prisoners standing on the left.

The leader among them was the black-faced fake Li Kui who had yelled loudly just now.

"Brother, I didn't expect someone to stay here?" Zhu Han was a little surprised when he saw this.

He thought that these captives were afraid of involving the rebels, so they must have all run away.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Yuan army were not refugees, and many of them had families and land property.

It is impossible to take the risk of implicating the whole family and join the rebel army just to have a full meal.

What's more, if you say it well, the rebels are rebels, but if you say it badly, they are rebels.

Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the most indispensable thing is all kinds of rebels.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little surprised.

He nodded, and then said: "See if they have some strength, come with us to see!"

"Okay!" Zhu Han nodded slightly.

When the two came to several captives, the leading black-faced man immediately clasped his fists in salute.

"The villain Chen Baodao has seen Marshal Du!"

"Chen Baodao, where are you from? Why don't you go home and stay to join the rebel army?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a scrutiny.

"Marshal Du, the villain is from Yingzhou. He beat and killed people in his hometown and joined the army. He has no home to go back to! I think Marshal Du is a famous and true hero. Since they are all serving as soldiers for food, then follow a good general. !” Chen Baodao said loudly.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he burst out laughing.

He thinks that Chen Baodao is a willful man, but he is also a useful talent.

"Haha, you said we are real heroes, how did you know that?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Marshal Du is capable of fighting and daring to fight. He defeated Timur without killing him. He also loves the common people. Although I am a rough person, I also know what a good person is. A good person with ability is a hero!" Chen Baodao said .

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately decided to accept Chen Baodao and others.

"Little brother, I will leave Chen Baodao to you!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Han nodded and agreed.

He has also seen that this Chen Baodao has courage and insight, he is not an ordinary gun, and it can indeed be of great use if he practices it well.

"Chen Baodao, from now on, you will follow the commander-in-chief's servant Zhu Han!" Zhu Yuanzhang ordered loudly.

Zhu Han helped his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang to control the soldiers, and according to the practice at this time, he held an official position of holding the teeth.

"Chen Baodao, how about your strength?" Zhu Han asked.

"Back the teeth, I am a sword player in the Tatar army!" Chen Baodao said proudly.

Sword and card players are also sword and shield soldiers. Not only do soldiers need to master the sword and shield cooperation, but also have enough courage to assault the enemy at critical moments. Many gaps in battle formations are often opened by relying on sword and shield hands to approach and attack.

If you are not an elite in the army, it is generally difficult to serve in this branch.

Zhu Han nodded in satisfaction, as long as he wins over their hearts, he has found a treasure.

Although the combat strength of the three thousand soldiers and horses in Longxing Temple is not bad, they all rely on formation and cooperation.

The individual martial arts of the soldiers are all a shortcoming. Once they fall into a stalemate, they lack the sword and shield assault soldiers with strong individual capabilities.

 The new book sets sail, and I urgently need the strong support of readers and fathers!The little writer who hit the street is here begging for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up reading, rewards, comments and begging for everything!
