Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 384

Li Jing didn't know about Zhang Yi's nonsense. At this time, Quan Dang thought that Zhang Yi was helping him deal with the captives from behind, so he hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it should take some time for Zhang Mujian to deal with the Turkic captives in the rear. able to come back."

"How to deal with the prisoners?" Li Er had some doubts in his heart, but at this moment in front of so many people, he could continue to ask.

Zhang Yi wants to work hard for those captives?It is the easiest way to kill those captives, saving money, manpower and labor.

You must know that Zhang Yi has not washed away the suspicion of the important technique of Taiping. A large group of people such as the eldest grandson still believe that the essential technique of peace lies in Zhang Yi, including Li Er himself who also thinks it is possible.

And judging from Zhang Yi not daring to return to Chang'an now, his suspicion is obviously bigger!

The next procedure didn't last long, because the person he most wanted to see didn't show up, so Li Er was a little absent-minded. Except for young generals like Cheng Chumo, he just wanted to comfort Tang Jian and his son who were ignored by Li Jing. No one cares.

As soon as the matter here was over, Li Er asked Tingfeng to investigate Zhang Yi's affairs immediately with a dark face. What kind of tell was given to him.

This time he asked Tingfeng to go over in person, and he must find out what Zhang Yi wants to do!
Zhang Yi, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know that Li Er, who was in Chang'an, would be worried because of him, and would not think about eating and drinking because of fear of such things. Now he and Yue Shiyi and others brought a group of captives to reclaim wasteland .

If the border is to be stable, then the fort system must be developed, and now Datang does not have so many people for him to use, so he can only use these captives to do these things.

If these captives can finish the most difficult preliminary tasks, then the Tang army who will come to station at that time will not have to spend so much manpower and material resources to start from scratch, and they can sit back and enjoy the benefits.

And now the biggest wish of these captives is to live.

Because Zhang Yi did a lot of drama in the early stage, and it can even be said that it was a fake drama. He killed a group of prisoners, let these prisoners know that the person who is guarding them now is a man with means, and made them dare not make mistakes .

Moreover, Zhang Yi often starved these guys for a few days on the grounds of lack of food. Now he has just fed this group of prisoners, in order to let them know that only by working hard and working hard with his own hands can he be able to eat a whole lot of food. A full meal.

In fact, Zhang Yi is not short of food now, and Shuofang City is not short of food, but only by doing so, can he control these captives and let them work for him willingly.

Now Zhang Yi found that the effect was very good. The captives who had been hungry for a few days did not say that they had no strength to work. On the contrary, they knew what it was like to be hungry. Will spare no effort to implement.

And after completing the task, give them a full meal, and they will be grateful to themselves, and they know that doing so will make them full, so few people will resist Zhang Yi's method.

In fact, people are like this, whether they are Turkic people or Tang people, this is a common feature of people, often when you are kind to you, you don’t know how to cherish and treat you well, and once the other party loses patience, you will worry again, And when the other party treats you well occasionally, even if it is false, you will feel very satisfied.

Looking at the scene of hundreds of Turkic captives busily cultivating the land in front of him, Zhang Yi smiled happily.

There are dozens of places like this, and each place is a fortress of the Tang army. If this method continues, there will be a continuous fortress on the northwest border.

These dozens of fortresses are only the first batch he made, which can be regarded as the first step in the fort system.

Don't underestimate these dozens of fortresses. Thousands of Tang troops can be stationed in dozens of fortresses, and they can also have independent supply capabilities. Even if they want to block [-] cavalry, it is not a big problem!

Especially Zhang Yi thought that if he brought the cement here and asked them to use it to build the fortress, then those prairie cavalry would suffer a lot in the future, and the fortress built with cement was almost impossible for them to break through.

As long as the Tang army sticks to it, they can only besiege at most, and the self-sufficient Tang army is not afraid of the siege of the Turkic people at all. Even if it is more than food, the Turkic people are far away from them.

"The movements are a bit sloppy, there is no lunch for those who are lazy, and the dinner for those who have not completed the task today will be halved, and there will be rewards for those who complete the task beyond the limit."

A soldier of the Tang army shouted loudly on the fort that had just been built, and the Turkic people below worked even harder after hearing this.

They just want to have a good meal now!
Zhang Yi nodded in satisfaction, then rode on his horse, and began to walk to the next fort. Now every fort is full of enthusiasm, but Zhang Yi also knows that he must patrol, nothing else, just to prevent rebellion. One point, he has to do well.

As long as this period of reclamation has passed, and when the seeds are planted in spring, he can cultivate the land in these fortresses in batches.

At that time, there will be no need for so many captives. These Turkic captives who have been changed by his business model can be transported to the Central Plains or Chang'an to work for others. Shuofang only needs to leave a certain amount of Turkic captives to continue working. Enough.

Except for the land reclamation period, there will not be so much work at that time, so the number of prisoners left by then must not exceed the number of soldiers of the Tang army who are in charge of guarding, otherwise there will be potential safety hazards.

Zhang Yi brought Yue Shiyi, Lao Zhong and others back and forth to inspect these Turkic people every day. They used these Turkic captives to bring a lot of wealth to Datang.

It's just that His Majesty Li Er has not realized this at the moment, or Tingfeng has not realized this yet, and he has not had time to report to Chang'an City.

To be honest, when he first saw so many fortresses built in the direction of the grassland in Shuofang City, his heart was full of shock.

With these fortresses, what kind of Turks are there to be afraid of? Even if they have a hundred thousand people who control strings, there is no way to break through these fortresses.

And these fortresses can not only be used to deal with the Turkic people, if the guards in charge of guarding here have different ideas, it will also be difficult to deal with Chang'an.

This is a double-edged sword, and it depends on who His Majesty Li Er entrusts to use it.
