Chapter 307 Treatment of prisoners

Wu Fan came to the village square. The prisoners and wounded looked at him with anxious expressions, waiting for Wu Fan to deal with them.

These people, like the refugees who came here, were ordinary farmers in various villages and towns before. Due to various reasons, they embarked on the path of rebellion. Most of these reasons were passive, and some were due to the imperial government. Some of the reasons were due to other rebel forces. As for the specific reasons, Wu Fan was actually not interested.

Wu Fan's headache now is how to deal with them.

If they were killed during the battle, then forget it. The problem was that these people had surrendered now. Killing them was considered an ominous thing in this era. What's more, Wu Fan himself couldn't accept doing that.

Let them go?

That doesn’t work either.

Most of these people have lost their homes. If they were released, they would either starve to death or join other rebel groups. It would be difficult for them to return to their previous lives.

After thinking for a while, Wu Fan said to everyone: "I won't kill you, but I won't let you go either. All of you must stay here and work for me. I will provide you with food and housing." After one year, you can choose to leave or continue to work for me. If you choose to stay at that time, I will give you wages. "

Now is the time for the construction of Hermit Village. Wu Fan needs a lot of manpower here. The reason why he asked Luo Yang and Lu Bin to recruit a thousand people before stopping was not because a thousand people were enough, but because, with his He can only support so much with his current financial resources. After all, he has to pay everyone, not to mention, he still has a militia to support.

Now, this group of prisoners came at the right time. Wu Fan kept them all as free labor without paying any wages. He only needed to give them food. The cost was very low.

As for whether they will have any objections.

What qualifications do prisoners have to negotiate terms? It's good that Wu Fan didn't kill them. What's more, in today's world, it is quite difficult to find a job that provides food and accommodation, especially for rebel soldiers like them who don't have much ability.

Sure enough, after hearing Wu Fan's words, what appeared on the faces of the prisoners was not dissatisfaction and hostility, but expressions of gratitude.

"Thank you, sir."

Everyone was grateful to Wu Fan. In their hearts, Wu Fan was like their reborn parent. Not only did Wu Fan not kill him, he also provided them with food and accommodation. Is there anyone better than this person? Even their parents are nothing more than this. As for Qiu Yongchao, who worked for him before, there is no way to compare with Wu Fan.

Therefore, in just a short period of time, Wu Fan made the resistance in the hearts of these prisoners disappear without a trace, because they understood that even if they resisted and successfully escaped, they would not find anything better than here. place.

"A bunch of country bumpkins are so happy with just food and accommodation."

"It's just that these people have never seen the world. If they knew that we not only have food and shelter, but also wages, they would be jealous to death."

"I still have to thank you for your great kindness."

"Yes, without adults, we might all have starved to death."

The refugees who had come to Wu Fan earlier saw how excited the prisoners were just because Wu Fan provided food and accommodation. They all despised them in their hearts, and suddenly felt a sense of superiority in their hearts.

Of course, they all understand that their lives have changed so much because of Wu Fan. Without Wu Fan, they would not be where they are now.

Wu Fan was also very satisfied with the response of these people. As a result, he had thousands more free laborers. Whether it was building city walls or planting land in front of the village, he had a large number of manpower supplements.

In addition, Wu Fan also plans to set up a reward and punishment mechanism to increase their enthusiasm. For those who perform well, he can improve their treatment, and even pay them wages, so that they can enjoy the same treatment as those who defected before. I believe that this can greatly improve their work efficiency.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned due to everyone's busy work, but the air was still filled with a faint smell of blood, proving that a battle had just occurred here.

In the previous battle, Wu Fan and others were prepared because they had received the news in advance. In addition, they were well-equipped, so only a few people were injured, and the injuries were not serious. As for Death is nothing!

If this situation were to spread, it would definitely cause a big sensation. One hundred people versus four to five thousand people, there were zero casualties. Such a result would be difficult for even the most famous generals to achieve.

However, Wu Fan knows that under some special conditions, such a result may not be impossible to achieve. However, to achieve such a result, many prerequisites are required, including early deployment, equipment suppression, assassination of the enemy leader, and the enemy's team. Discipline is not strict. Wu Fan believes that it would be impossible to achieve such a result if a different group of enemies or a different person were to command the militia in the village.

It is precisely because of this that through this battle, Wu Fan better understood the importance of intelligence and equipment. At the same time, he also knew that if an army does not have strict enough discipline, it is no different from a loose sand.

Wu Fan cut off Qiu Yongchao's head and gave it to Luo Yang and Lu Bin, asking them to take it to the county town and hand it over to the county magistrate. Now the entire court is encouraging the fight against the rebels and the demon army. Wu Fan killed Qiu Yongchao, which is considered a merit. Wu Fan will not miss this opportunity to earn credit.

"Tell Tang San not to stagnate the establishment of the intelligence organization, and don't be afraid of spending money, and speed up the establishment." Wu Fan instructed Luo Yang and Lu Bin.

Tang San's intelligence organization has just begun to be established, and it did not play any role in this battle. This is obviously not what Wu Fan wants to see. The Hermit Village is his base camp, and he doesn't want any problems here.

Luo Yang and Lu Bin set off, and they also went to the county town with the captured horses and some weapons on the rebel soldiers. Although the rebel soldiers were poor, the weapons were also varied, but there were still some that could be sold. Wu Fan is now a big family, and he can't give up a penny. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. This time, let Luo Yang and Lu Bin transport it together to sell.

After dealing with things here, it won’t be long before Wu Fan is teleported away.
