Chapter 91 The feeling of survival
With the arrival of the main force, not only was the basic defense of Beidi County guaranteed, but the mighty and majestic momentum when the army entered the city also gave the people of Beidi County a new understanding of the three words "Tianxiahui".
The reputation of the World Association in the hearts of the people is naturally rising, so that now I just catch someone on the street and ask if I ask you, I know that the Beidi County is the Beidi County of the World Association.
The most direct consequence of the army's high-profile entry into the city this time was that before the third day arrived, the Black Bear Gang and the four other gangs expressed their allegiance to Tang Han almost one after another.
The so-called loyalty means that they voluntarily merged into the Tianxia Society and became subordinate gangs of the Tianxia Society. Every month from now on, they will draw a certain proportion of profits from their respective industries and offer them to the Tianxia Society in exchange for protection from the Tianxia Society.
The so-called protection is of course mainly to spend money to buy peace.
The industries controlled by these four gangs are not very important, and the profits are actually limited, so Tang Han saw that they were so aware of them, so he let them go temporarily.
The affairs of the Four Gangs are all trivial matters, and a news from Shang Zimo made Tang Han really busy.
Wurihai failed on the border and was defeated by a large tribe of the Beidi people, causing heavy losses. Wurihai was bringing more than 2,000 defeated generals to the county town.
Almost at the same time, news came from the light cavalry who had been wandering around the periphery pretending to be a "wolf thief": a large number of Beidi people were chasing behind Wurihai and heading towards Beidi County.
These two news made Tang Han know that the biggest test after he came to this world would soon come.
But he was not nervous, but with a hint of expectation.
He has worked hard for so long, isn’t it just for today? If this crisis can be resolved smoothly, Beidi County will be truly in his own hands.
On the one hand, Tang Han sent people to continue to collect information and inquire about information, and on the other hand, he continued to convene meetings and discuss with his subordinates.
For the World Association, Tang Han’s requirement is to maintain the stability of the people’s hearts and draw elite personnel to patrol the city, and strictly prevent those who are ill-behaved from taking the opportunity to make trouble.
On the other hand, he asked someone to draw civilian troops from the people, and issued it in the name of county magistrate Lin Tianya, calling on the people to resist the upcoming attacks of the Beidi people and defend their homes.
After the government's announcement was issued, the enthusiasm of the people was not very high at the beginning. There were very few people coming to apply for the enlistment every day, and the few were basically the kind of homeless people who wanted to make a living.
This made Lin Tianya, who was passionately prepared to revive his authority as the county magistrate, both depressed and puzzled.
But the next day, Tang Han asked someone to post a notice with similar content next to all the official announcements, but the signature became the World Club.
However, the entire situation suddenly changed, and the people who came to apply for the recruitment suddenly seemed to be crossing the river. The enthusiasm made the minor officials in charge of registering the county magistrate go home every day.
In just two days, the people who were conscripted into the civilian army reached 5,000, and they were basically blue.
The two completely different results made Lin Tianya both uncomfortable and happy. What was uncomfortable was naturally that his reputation as a county magistrate was far inferior to that of a gang that had just been established for a few days.
What is gratifying is that the enthusiasm of the people of Beidi County to defend their homes is touching.
However, Tang Han knew that feelings could only make people move for a moment, but attractive enough benefits could make people dare to move for a lifetime.
The reason why these people are so enthusiastic is not only because of the sign of the World Club, but also because Tang Han provides them with large amounts of meat and vegetables to the civilian army every day, and there is even one or two taels of silver per month.
This is the real reason why these people are so enthusiastic.
However, Lin Tianya's county magistrate's notice only talks about the righteousness of the country, but does not mention food, drink, defecation, and sensation. If you can attract people, you will be devilish.
All recruitment that puts ideals and feelings above treatment is a hooligan. From this perspective, many bosses in later generations, especially many small businesses, were hooligans.
Of course, the best solution is to combine feelings and interests to achieve a high degree of harmony. Of course, this is an ideal state and it is difficult to achieve.
Tang Han of these civilian soldiers did not expect them to come to defend the city. Their main task was to repair the city walls, transport materials, and provide logistics support.
The important task of defending the city naturally has to be handed over to the regular army.
While arranging internal affairs, Tang Han also asked Ba Hong to lead all officers to train soldiers in the skills of defending the city, and on the other hand, he was constantly strengthening the defense measures on the city wall.
Tang Han currently has the most basic troops, and he is competent to defend the city, but if he goes out of the city to fight, it will be a flaw and avoid his strengths, which is not realistic at all.
Just like Tang Han used to play games, he had piled up city walls in the early stages, with dense towers built, turbulent oil on the city, asphalt ditches and moats under the city, and archers and crossbowmen standing in full swing, and his defense was simply perverted.
Under such defense, the enemy will give you no matter how much you come.
If another archer is used to harass and restrain others outside the city, it will be even more invincible.
It was not until the later stage that he had money that he exploded with heavy armored knights, and then he used a large group of knights to rush to the top of the enemy castle and directly killed the opponent's lord, and won directly.
At this stage, Tang Han certainly has no capital to rogue and can only fight defensive wars.
Although there were two hundred light cavalrymen, they could only make do with it if they were inquiring about the news and catching a tongue. If they wanted to go to fight against the enemy in the field, they would only give their heads for nothing.
Of course, in order to prevent spies from entering the city from entering the city, when they received the information, Tang Han sent people to set up checkpoints at the gates of each city and strictly inspected pedestrians entering the city. As long as they issued a person who could not prove their identity, they would be locked up first.
As for whether you were wronged, I will talk about it until the war is over.
Finally, at noon on the third day after receiving the news that Wurihai was about to retreat, in the fourth phase of smoke and dust in the wilderness outside the north gate of Beidi County, a large group of people began to appear in the sight of the defending army.
At that time, Tang Han happened to be patrolling the city wall.
While others could only vaguely see a large number of figures, Tang Han even clearly saw the armor style on the knight at the front of the team.
The rolling smoke and dust kept approaching, which was obviously the effect of a large number of cavalry riding horses.
When the others had just seen the armor style of these people, Tang Han had clearly seen the complicated expression on the face of the knight in front.
It is an expression of tension, anxiety, fear, and eagerness to wait for all negative emotions.
Of course, there is one of these expressions that attracts the most attention, which is the excitement and excitement of seeing hope right in front of you.
To describe it in idioms, it is the feeling of survival in a desperate situation.
