Chapter 1442 The treatment of prisoners
When Li Qiang heard everyone mention his father, his expression dimmed.
Xiao Zhengyang patted Li Qiang.
"Xiaoqiang, don't be anxious.
I promise you that sooner or later, we will conquer Qingyang City, kill the old guy Shi Wenxuan, and avenge your father.
But we are still too weak at the moment, so we can’t do it recklessly!”
Xiao Zhengyang said, looking at everyone.
"Brothers, although this Qingyang City is not a big city, it is tall and deep, so it is definitely not that easy to attack.
Although we have rifles, this kind of rifle is just a light weapon and cannot be used to attack cities.
Currently, there are only more than 100 people who can carry guns. Even if we count the people from Liujiazhuang together, there are only 400 people.
In Qingyang City, Shi Wenxuan had two thousand of the most elite armored soldiers in Guangguang.
Although five hundred were lost this time, there were still 1,55 elite troops.
Adding to more than 3,000 ordinary privates, Qingyang City has 5,000 people guarding it.
And Shi Wenxuan also has twenty cannons.
These cannons are powerful and far from what we can compete with.
Therefore, the most important thing for us now is to develop ourselves quickly.
When we have enough strength, I will take you all to take down Qingyang City, kill Shi Wenxuan, the old thief, and avenge your old village leader! Do you think it's okay?"
Li Qiang stood up and was the first to express his opinion.
"Brother Xiao is knowledgeable and resourceful. Let's hear Brother Xiao's mistakes!"
Everyone nodded.
"That's natural. Even the leader of Xiaoyu Village listened to Leader Xiao!"
After saying that, someone next to him interrupted.
"Captain Xiao, when will you marry our Xiaoyu Village Master?
I have even prepared gifts for you! Our Qingfeng Village is not rich in population. If you get married to our Xiaoyu Village leader earlier, you can add more people to our Qingfeng Village earlier!"
These people from Qingfeng Village are all rough and speak too straightforward.
Xiao Zhengyang was asked for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"This matter..." When Xiao Zhengyang was in a dilemma, Mi Yue hurried over.
"Brother-in-law, some of the prisoners' wounds were inflamed and they began to have fever.
There is no alcohol in our village, and there is no antipyretic.
what to do?"
Xiao Zhengyang didn't know how to answer these people. Seeing Mi Yue coming to find him, Xiao Zhengyang was secretly happy and stood up immediately.
"Go and have a look!"
After saying that, Xiao Zhengyang hurriedly followed Mi Yue to the prisoner camp, and indeed saw several prisoners having fever.
Seeing Xiao Zhengyang coming in, the fevered prisoners suddenly became panicked.
A fever-captive soldier got up from the ground with difficulty.
"Captain Xiao, although we are sick, we are in good health and will definitely be able to withstand it.
When our illness is cured, we can still fight for you to kill the enemy. Don’t kill us!”
Xiao Zhengyang frowned when he heard the injured captive soldier's words.
"I just came to see your condition and didn't say I wanted to kill you! What's wrong with you?"
After hearing Xiao Zhengyang's words of not killing them, these sick prisoners gradually calmed down.
Xiao Zhengyang also had some disinfectant and antipyretic drugs in his space, so he took them out to disinfect the wound first, and then fed them to take antipyretic drugs.
After dealing with these, Xiao Zhengyang also instructed the person in charge of the food to arrange some easily digestible food for these patients with fever.
These injured prisoners were very grateful to see that Xiao Zhengyang not only treated them, but also arranged their diet carefully.
Seeing that these prisoners were no longer afraid, Xiao Zhengyang found a small prisoner and sat down to chat.
This little man looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, and is not a few years older than Li Qiang.
"What's the name of the little brother?
Who are you?"
The little man saw Xiao Zhengyang sitting down next to him and immediately stood up.
"Report to Leader Xiao, my name is Dahuzi.
My hometown is from Pingyao."
Xiao Zhengyang asked Dahuzi to sit down so that he would not have to be nervous.
"Brother Dahuzi, since your family is in Pingyao, why did you come to Qingyang City to serve as a soldier for Shi Wenxuan?
As far as I know, these Pingyao people and Qingyang people have never been very good at dealing with them!"
Big Huzi sighed.
"There is no way, our family is poor.
There was a famine the previous year, and most of our family starved to death. Later, my brother took me to Qingyang City to serve as a soldier.
Then I made a living.
And you can earn five taels of silver every year.
We are just ordinary soldiers, and we will work hard for anyone who pays us money!"
Xiao Zhengyang knew that although Shi Wenxuan's armored soldiers were the most elite team, most of these people were from poor people and had to work hard for Shi Wenxuan for a meal.
So although Xiao Zhengyang captured them, no one was allowed to abuse them.
Although Xiao Zhengyang was just chatting with Da Huzi, the more than 300 prisoners in the entire prison camp all raised their ears and listened to their conversation.
Some of them had been prisoners before, but Xiao Zhengyang was the strangest winner they met.
Before, they were defeated and captured by others. They were not only beaten, but also forced to do coolies.
Sometimes I have to be forced to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder.
They have never encountered such a thing as Xiao Zhengyang, who is so polite to them and are not allowed to attack them by his subordinates.
Seeing that Dahuzi had relaxed his guard against him, Xiao Zhengyang asked him.
"Little brother, you were sick before, why are you so panicked when you saw me?"
Dahuzi now knew that Xiao Zhengyang did not plan to kill them, and he was much more courageous.
When he heard Xiao Zhengyang ask him about this, Dahuzi hurriedly explained to Xiao Zhengyang.
"Because before, Lord Shi City caught prisoners, if these prisoners were sick, they would drag them down and kill them directly, so as not to waste food.
Especially those wounded soldiers with fever!”
After hearing what Dahuzi said, Xiao Zhengyang finally knew why those who had fever were so panicked when they saw him coming in.
Xiao Zhengyang sighed.
In this era of the strong prey on the weak and backward technology, it is really hard to say that Shi Wenxuan did something wrong.
He also wants to survive.
Xiao Zhengyang stood up and said loudly to everyone: "You can rest assured."
"I, Xiao Zhengyang, never kill prisoners.
After a few days, your illness will be cured. If anyone is willing to stay, I can give you two taels of silver each month to dig a canal for our village.
If I don't want to go back to Qingyang City, I won't stop me.
Just leave your armor and swords and guns, and each person can get rations for three days."
After hearing what Xiao Zhengyang said, the prisoners thought Xiao Zhengyang was joking with them.
Many of them have been in the army for many years and have fought many wars.
They have never heard of anyone who would take the initiative to release the prisoners.
Not to mention giving them food rations! Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Xiao Zhengyang immediately called Li Qiang.
"Xiaoqiang, now you gather the uninjured prisoners.
If they want to leave, they will immediately send them rations for three days.
If you are willing to stay, you can arrange additional accommodation for them and start digging the canal with everyone tomorrow.
The food is provided by the Copyright, with three meals a day, two dry and one thin, so you must be full.
Each person will give them another 2 taels of silver per month.
Just ask your sister to collect the money."
After hearing Xiao Zhengyang's words, Li Qiang was immediately stuck on the spot.
After looking at the prisoners, Li Qiang quickly pulled Xiao Zhengyang aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you here to be true?"
Xiao Zhengyang looked at Li Qiang seriously.
"Look at what you said, a kid?
When did your brother joke with you?
Of course it's true!"
