In other words.
Zhang Mu looked at the information and revealed a strange expression."This Alantai asked for credit in advance?”
"That's right!" Wu Sidao nodded.
"No wonder they fought in such a hurry. Once this memorial is submitted, if he doesn't get any achievements, Kang Xi will skin him alive!”Zhang Mu smiled and said,"It seems that the Qing Dynasty has underestimated us!"”
Wu Sidao laughed and slowly said,"President, I have a bold idea!”
"Tell me!“
"The Qing court has always looked down on us, thinking that we would definitely be unable to withstand a single blow!”Wu Sidao said very seriously,"Then, can we continue to deceive the Qing court? For example, we can use the name of Alantai to send memorials to the court, telling them that the bandits have been exterminated. This is more in line with the expectations of the court. Using the Qing court's contempt for us, we can calmly expand, allowing us to quickly control the surrounding counties. In a few more months, we can divide more land equally. It can also increase the training of our soldiers and prepare our weapons and equipment!”
Zhang Mu couldn't help but glance at Wu Si.
This guy's brain was quite nimble.
Wu Sidao said calmly,"By the time the Imperial Court comes to their senses, a small-scale army of 20,000 to 30,000 people will definitely not be enough. They know that they can't take us down, so they will at least send an army of 100,000 people, or even the surrounding prefectures and counties to encircle and suppress us.”
Zhang Mu took a sip of tea and nodded.""That's easy to handle, Grand Master. I think we should let you handle this matter. Think of a way to pry open this Alantai's mouth and forge a good news. Also, how is his relationship with the Crown Prince? How can he fight for greater benefits for us? For example, continue to ask for food from the Imperial Court. If possible, we'd better get some firearms from the Imperial Court.”
Wu Sidao couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He finally realized that Zhang Mu always had a lot of whimsical ideas.
You are a traitor, a bandit, how can you still think of getting money, food, weapons, and equipment from the imperial court?
But…
It didn't seem to be a problem.
Wu Sidao nodded and said,"I'll go and have a good chat with Alan Tai!"”
Zhang Mu was relieved with the information in his hands. He then looked at Su Hanchen and said with a smile,"How are the captured soldiers?”
Su Hanchen smiled and continued," They're quite honest with a mouthful of food. We've also stabilized their emotions. Those who are willing to join us will stay, and those who are unwilling will be given money to go home. The policy has been publicized. We won't torture captives. We're speaking for the poor!”
En!
Zhang Mu nodded." We'll give them some education later. We'll get some storytellers and talk about how miserable the soldiers are. We'll also talk about how these officials and generals eat empty salaries and drink the blood of the soldiers. Then, they join the Red Flame Army of our Datong Society. We'll talk about how they obtained their land and dignity!”
"Understood!" Su Hanchen nodded.”
" This is only the first step. Let them know that they are being oppressed, let them know that their lives should not be like this. However, we still have to let them understand why they are fighting. It is not for their personal hatred, but to overthrow this rotten world. We have to change the sun and moon into a new heaven. We have to guide them well and not just spread hatred. This is not our goal, nor is it the goal of our Datong Society. Do you understand?”
Su Hanchen nodded again.
Zhang Mu had high expectations for the construction of the army.
If the army couldn't establish a correct mindset, then he definitely wouldn't be able to continue.
Zhang Mu was not in a hurry to expand. What he needed to do was to plant the seeds.
If something really happened to him, someone might take over his banner and continue to work.
three days later
These captured Qing soldiers were getting more and more obedient. They had food to eat. After watching the drama for a few days, their minds began to become active.
In the past, what kind of life had he been leading? His superior was his superior. They ate and drank well, and it was already good enough for him to have a bite to eat.
What did they call him? Smelly soldier.
Look at the bandits.
Bandits.
The officers and soldiers were actually one. They ate and lived together. How much they spent was all indicated. Moreover, there was meat. The food was actually better than what he had in the Qing Dynasty. Look at them. They were strong and strong. They did not look like bandits at all. Look at him. The f * cking officer deducted the soldiers 'pay. He was hungry and full. It was fine as long as he barely did not starve to death.
The most f * cking thing was that these soldiers were actually cultured.
After a serious chat, some of them were still from the Green Army in Yangzhou. A few months ago, he was still illiterate, but now, he could already read the newspapers. Some of them could still speak clearly and logically.
Everyone is equal, and the reason why we are fighting is extremely clear.
Of course, Zhang Mu made it clear that those who were willing to join would be welcomed. Those who were unwilling to join would be given travel expenses to go home. However, he was sorry that he could not let them go home in a short period of time. Those who were unwilling to join would not be released for the time being. Instead, Zhang Mu would let them reclaim the wasteland. They would have a share of the income from the land.
Now, it was better to keep the news of Alantai's defeat a secret.
What if he could get some money from the imperial court?
After Alan Tai was captured, he chatted with Wu Sidao for an entire night.
Alan Tai also put down all his honor and dignity. Whatever Wu Sidao asked, he would answer honestly.
Then, he sent a memorial to the imperial court and a private letter to Prince Yinreng.
The memorial was sent to Yongxin County, and the county magistrate immediately arranged for the news to be sent to the imperial court. Another private letter was sent to Jinling, and it was sent to Prince Yinreng through the confidant of Jinling's Alan Tai.
