Chapter 690 Do you know how hard they work to be the man behind His Majesty?
When Shen Cangzhu thought of his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, he suddenly stopped. He was thinking too outrageously!
Zhong Shengwan and Shen Cangzhu showed up in time and started working at the city gate. They quickly became busy and successfully stabilized the city.
Of course, some former Wu people still left the city in the end.
Some of them have to go see relatives, parents and children, and some have to leave the city for various reasons.
There are also those who are purely patriotic and don’t want to stay.
However, the Da Chu soldiers they were worried about did not show up. They even met Da Chu soldiers on the road. After questioning them, they found out that they were trying to escape, so they actually let them go and did not kill them.
But if you are unlucky, you will lose your life.
But most of the people actually arrived safely in the city that still belonged to the state of Wu.
They couldn't believe it and almost cried with joy.
But the tragedy is that after they had gone through so much trouble to escape, their country, Wu, suspected that they were spies, and they were questioned again and again, and some were even interrogated.
After finally gaining freedom, as the Da Chu soldiers said, they had to experience the experience of being attacked by the Da Chu soldiers.
Everyone was really speechless, what is this?
The people of the Wu State who were besieged were anxious and asked those experienced people if their families had been destroyed after the city was broken.
They had no words to answer what they had experienced.
Everyone couldn't believe it, but they swore that it was true.
Some believed it, while others did not believe it and said they were spies. In short, what Da Chu did after breaking the city spread slowly.
Some of these people who left the city never knew about it, and some didn't realize it until a long time later.
They were released from the city and were not killed. In fact, they were wanted to publicize Da Chu's performance after breaking the city.
Putting these personal experiences out there, it’s hard for everyone to believe them.
And their role is actually quite great. At least the people's resistance to their arrival is getting smaller and smaller.
After all, everyone wants to live. If they are not forced to a certain extent, they will not take the path of active resistance.
This method is simply stupid, and only Lingzhou could come up with it.
Because of them, the generals of Da Chu had a pretty good reputation among the common people at the bottom.
When officials from Dachu came to take over the management later, although there were many problems and difficulties, in general, it was relatively smooth because the foundation was laid.
The people of the original Wu Kingdom scolded Da Chu less. More importantly, because of Da Chu's actions, when Da Chu attacked the city again, he rarely encountered anyone who desperately fought back.
If you can avoid death, who would want to die?
It is better to live than to fight desperately.
Some officials and soldiers did not want to lose the city and wanted to organize everyone to resist, but the effect was very little.
This invisible force plays a role similar to that of a force attack.
This is something for later.
Not only the people of Wu State, but also the soldiers of Wu State were actually relieved by Da Chu's actions.
They were either captured or surrendered. They thought they would be killed, but they were not.
Facing these prisoners, Chu Xingchen's attitude was, "If you don't kill them, how can you kill them? They are still of great use."
After Da Chu went to war and conscripted troops, they had to build roads again, so they were very short of labor.
At this time, these prisoners arrived, and they would be used for those who would need their efforts in building roads in the future.
The road began to be built rapidly.
The prisoners were tested and found to be very useful, so the Wu soldiers captured on the front line, whether they were surrendered or captured, were broken up and sent back in batches.
Zhou Buyan was determined to be a man behind His Majesty and began to think of ways to send more prisoners back.
Not to be outdone, Lingzhou acted like a competition. In the end, he came up with various methods one after another, which annoyed the Wu soldiers and made them angry to death.
Falling into the hands of such "shameless" Chu people, the captives thought they would be treated cruelly and thought it would be better to die.
Unexpectedly, Da Chu did not kill them, but instead let them work.
Before Chu Xingchen, no one had ever let enemy prisoners work.
But the Dachu people quickly accepted it. After all, those who were in prison were allowed to work before. These prisoners were almost the same as labor camps.
Dachu people think this is a good idea.
The prisoner suspected that he was alive, but all the familiar people around him had dispersed. In order not to be beaten and taught a lesson, he could only work as he was told.
If you do this, there will be no end.
However, the prisoners did not think that they would be used as hard labor, squeezing out the last bit of their labor power, enslaving them to death, and draining their lives.
Of course, hard work is very hard. You work basically all day long. If you are lazy, you will be punished without mercy.
But they didn't just torture them. Although the work was really heavy and tiring, they didn't starve them after all.
The food wasn't great, but it was enough. Occasionally, when they finished work in a hurry, there was still a bit of meat.
It was cold, but they didn't freeze.
If they are sick, they will be ignored even if they are minor, but if they are serious, someone will come to help them.
After a while, they got used to this kind of life.
Although it's hard work, they can eat well and won't be frozen. Seriously speaking, it's no worse than when they were soldiers.
In other words, it was better than when they were soldiers. After all, their food was sometimes not as good as it was back then, and they had to fight to the death.
As for hard work and freedom, they didn't have much freedom in the army before, and the training was not lighter than this.
They have long been accustomed to obeying orders. Gradually, except for some people who resisted at first and some who wanted to escape, gradually everyone got used to it.
They don't make trouble, work hard, and the people who manage them have a much better attitude.
Their degree of freedom was a little higher, and later they had the opportunity to see the road as it was actually paved.
All they did was dig mountains, pave roads and lay foundations. They had never seen the scene after the concrete roads were laid.
On this day, they were lucky enough to meet.
After the cement dried, they were shocked by the straight, flat, spacious and hard road and could not recover for a long time.
They were dull, but not far away they were beating gongs and drums, full of joy, and villagers in nearby towns and villages celebrated the passage.
"My God, this is such a spacious and beautiful road. This old lady has actually seen it in her lifetime."
"His Majesty asked people to repair this. From now on, it will be easy for us to go to the county town. It is also convenient for carriages. It will be convenient for us to sell whatever we want."
"This road is connected to Feng'an City. From now on, we can follow the road to Feng'an City. No one will dare to rob us if we take these two roads."
"When all these roads are built, let alone Feng'an City, we will go to the Kingdom of Wu... No, we can even go to the former city of the Kingdom of Wu that returned to our great Chu."
The sound of their excited discussion broke into the captive's ears, and the captive slowly came back to his senses. His eyes were filled with shock and disappointment.
After seeing these scenes, when he had free time later, Dachu actually sent someone to teach them a lesson.
The main thing is to talk to them about the situation in Dachu and let them learn the laws of Dachu. This probably means that they will not be able to break the law in the future.
Later, it was revealed that if they behaved well and were willing to submit and be loyal to Da Chu, they could also become good citizens of Da Chu.
