Chapter 47 Dealing with the Aftermath

On the other hand, Liu Wenzheng and Zhou Sangui are armed with multiple armed consortia. Among them are the tyrants and wealthy businessmen who are guarding the hospital, plus the soldiers who are temporarily recruited with money, and the thieves who were originally a bandit.

This is similar to the Red Coat Army. The large stocks are all small stocks, and they are not reorganized after disruption. The components are relatively complicated and they cannot be united in sincerity.

Using the power of gunpowder thunder, stone throwing machines, and pine cannons, the price of winning is very small, and it also adds battlefield experience to the army. Adapting to killing and blood is a psychological hurdle that new recruits must overcome when they mature.

It is an optimistic expectation to defeat the bandits and rebuild the people and then fight for the people in the surrounding villages and greatly expand the troops.

Meng Jiucheng estimated the time again. The Jin Dynasty should start to mobilize troops to counterattack. The primary goal was Yang Aner. Who asked you to call him a king and build a system, making it so loud! And Yang Aner will also transfer the troops from the three states to fight the Jin army to the death.

In this way, the main force of the Red Coat Army in Juzhou will be mobilized. Perhaps even Liu Tingyu from Junan will be ordered to dispatch some troops. Who told him to occupy the county town under the banner of the Red Coat Army? He is the biggest armed force!

In other words, it should be the right time for Meng Jiucheng to expand his force, and he is unlikely to be subject to strong interference. The enemy is only the two localities, Liu Wenzheng and Zhou Sangui.

After his thoughts were settled, Meng Jiucheng organized troops to escort the prisoners, drove across the river, and set up camps in Younianguanzhuang Village. At the same time, he sent people to report the victory and send messages to let the fleeing people know that the bandits had been destroyed and could go back to the village to settle.

…………………

The sky was gloomy, and Meng Jiucheng's face was also cold and solemn, watching the scene of blood and blood flying in the open space outside the village, screaming and killing.

"Beast!" As the curse was heard, the stick hit the bandit leader hard. The guy was covered in bruises, his hands were hung, his legs no longer had the strength to support him, and he was soft like a boneless body, and his miserable screams were hoarse and weak.

"Let you kill someone!" A captive soldier hesitated for a moment, glanced at the shiny swords and guns of the soldiers outside, gritted his teeth, stepped forward and swung the stick and beat him again.

"Let you force thieves the rapist!"

"Let you rob the people!"...

The curses continued, and the stick hit the body, the skin was blooming, and blood splattered. The screams changed from sharpness to low, then weak moans, and finally silently.

Groups of prisoners surrounded their former companions or bosses, cursing and hitting each other until they were covered in blood and speechless. The miserable death and painful wailings should make these prisoners remember the charges they scolded and dare not commit crimes to the common people easily anymore, right?

Is human nature ugly or kind? This has been discussed in ancient times to today without any result. If human nature was originally ugly, then is there no kindness in the world?

Meng Jiucheng once pondered and found his own answer: If morality can be restrained, morality is strong and can restrain people's bad behavior.

But if society falls into a state of chaos and the social morality that restricts everyone no longer exists, the ugly side in human nature will be ruthlessly exposed. Dissatisfaction, jealousy, greed, and violence in life will be magnified by multiples like a magnifying glass, and will be released without restrictions, forming a huge destructive power.

It doesn’t matter whether kindness is relative, it is just a state that is not incited or inspired. Everyone has wild animals in their hearts, and every unrest gives people the opportunity to release the ugly, cruel and barbaric nature of human nature.

Therefore, Meng Jiucheng wanted to use his iron fist to kill the villains, and use this shock to maintain the discipline of the troops and the social order of the villages and towns occupied.

Two days have passed since the victory over the bandits, and the spread of news has caused more people to return to their homes. In fact, many people just hide in the wilderness and woods outside the village and are not far away. However, the bandits' looting caused difficulties in life in the future. Meng Jiucheng used the seizure to settle the people and help rebuild, so he naturally received their praise and gratitude.

After this difficulty, many people knew the harm of not protecting the army. The difficulties in life after being robbed also made many people choose to join the army and eat food and earn some real benefits for their families. After all, this unit known as the Red Turban Army does not harm the people, and the conditions for recruiting soldiers are very generous.

Especially those migrant workers who helped and witnessed the defeat of bandits in the Red Turban Army, most of them joined the army, and the knife and axe master was naturally the most active. Because Meng Jiucheng had a deep impression of him, he asked him to be his personal bodyguard after asking.

In fact, the name of the sword and axe driver is Han Changsheng. He injured Du Qi in order to save the girl. He is a very brave man. But because he always has an axe on his waist and has used it to smash the heads of several bandits, people call him "the sword and axe driver", and he seems to be willing to be called that.

Meng Jiucheng's eyes moved away from the scene of killing bandits, tied the reins and slowly walked towards the place where the recruits were training in the distance. Han Changsheng had a new weapon in his hand, but he had the axe on his waist, and followed closely beside the horse, showing excellent foot strength.

"Do you like military life?" Meng Jiucheng asked casually.

"Yes, general." Han Changsheng answered respectfully.

"Do you want to be an officer in the future and lead a team of people yourself?"

"Maybe..." The knife and axe hesitated for a moment, "Yes."

Meng Jiucheng smiled and reached out and said, "Show me your axe."

Han Changsheng hesitated and took the axe and handed it over. Meng Jiucheng took it and looked carefully: the long wooden handle was inserted into the slot of the axe, and it was very exciting to swing.

"How do you think our army is like?" Meng Jiucheng threw the axe to Han Changsheng, hoping to get the most pertinent evaluation from this guy.

"Well, very good, general." Han Changsheng paused for a moment and added: "Whoever ruins a woman will chop off his head; whoever steals the common people will chop off his head. This is very good."

It was very simple and very energetic. Meng Jiucheng nodded in appreciation. In the eyes of the common people, this is a good army, very simple.

"We will fight many enemies in the future, plundering soldiers, bandits, and gold men who want to come back to collect grain and taxes. Do you know this?" Meng Jiucheng asked.
