Chapter 1357: Prisoner army

Qin Dynasty, the next day.
"Ye Shichang, Ye Shichang, you wake up." In a haze, Ye Shikai faintly felt someone calling his name, opened his eyes, and Li Tunchang was standing in front of him.
"What time is it now." Ye Shikai asked quickly.
"Just after Chen Shi, Ye Shichang was slightly tired because of the fierce battle last night." Li Tunchang and several sergeants helped Ye Shikai to put on armor, and everyone slowly walked out of the cave.
"Ye Chang, this is the harvest year. The autumn harvest has just arrived. There are more than a thousand stones. Now the villagers are outside, and even the three old men are here." Last night, they saved the granary with weakness and strength. Both, ancient food was too important for the people or the army. They can even be described as "strategic materials". If there is no food, it will There will be civil strife and slaughter. Countless people will die of famine and war. This year is a bumper harvest, which means that after paying taxes, many grains can be left behind.
"Really, let's go out and have a look." Ye Shikai took out his arms and went out. There were already thousands of villagers outside the village. The ancients re-emphasized agriculture. This is a matter of life, so the autumn harvest is also their most important day.
"Look, it's Ye Shilong." There was no one in the crowd shouting. Everyone saw Ye Shikai and rushed up.
"Protecting the granary by Ye Shi means saving all the villagers in Shangshui Village. Please pay tribute to the collective villagers of Shangshui Village." One of the old people walked to Ye Shikai, was excited, and wanted to give a gift.
"This old man, what are you doing?" Ye Shikai quickly lifted the old man up. To be precise, the old man in front of him should be more than two thousand years old. If he were to be a gift, wouldn't Ye Shikai die.
"Mr. Elder, thanks to Ye Shichang's command this time, otherwise, so many of our young children in Sheung Shui Village will die in the hands of thieves." Li Tunchang said, Ye Shikai then realized that the old man in front of him was the village. The "three elders" in China, that is, people with high morals in the village, are also equivalent to "village chiefs."
"These are my responsibilities. Besides, these grains are the lifeblood of the village. How can I give up casually." Ye Shikai quickly shifted the topic. "Since the folks are here, please quickly count the grains and send them. Go into the warehouse. "
"Yeah, let's work quickly."
Hearing this year's bumper harvest, the villagers are very happy, taking inventory of the grain into grain bags and sending them into the cave.
"Ye son."
"Linger." Ye Shikai saw the person and immediately walked up. There was a beautiful girl standing in the crowd, just He Linghan.
"Ye son, are you injured." He Linghan saw Ye Shikai, and suddenly his face changed. Only then did Ye Shikai discover that his armor was still stained with blood, and the blood was not even completely dry.
"Relax, it's the blood of the robbers, I'm fine." Ye Shikai explained quickly.
"What happened to Ye Gongzi last night has spread in the village. It is you who took fifty or sixty sergeants to resist the attack of hundreds of robbers and also kept the village's granary. Now, you are the hero of the village. What about He Linghan's mouth slightly raised, very beautiful, Ye Shikai suddenly felt a little embarrassed, this feeling is like the shyness of falling in love, but Ye Shikai thinks that he has passed that age, perhaps because of crossing this age, He felt something else.
"It's ... it's nothing, if I didn't use this cave, I would be okay." Ye Shikai smiled bitterly.
"Yo, the two are here to talk about love." At this time, Shang Guanjian didn't know where to come out, and walked to the two, He Linghan turned his head sharply, his face blushing like a ripe apple.
"Shangguan hundred generals."
"Okay, it's all your own. Don't be so restrained. You and Lao Ye call me Shangguan." Shangguanjian waved his hand.
"You laughed so much, is there any good news?" Ye Shikai said angrily.
"Of course, you know everything about the county last night. Mr. Han has promoted you to be the chief of the rank and the rank of military merit. Now you are" not changing ". I did n’t expect your kid to come here smoothly. I After three years of military service, you will reach it within a few days. "Shang Guanjian threw a token to Ye Shikai, which is the token of the governor.
"Who makes me always run into bad luck." Think about it, how many times have Ye Shikai encountered the robbers since he came to the Qin Dynasty. This time he played even more and almost lost his life.
"How many sergeants have no chance to fight, you can be content."
"By the way, I've been promoted to governor so soon. Where are the people under me? Where can we get so many people in Sheung Shui Village?" Ye Shikai is very clear that there are already many young people in the village who have served in the army. Young people, fathers, wives, and children all have to do farm work. It can be said that there are no "idles" in the entire village. Fifty people were pumped out at once, so many people in Shangshui Village could not be pumped out.
"Ahem, Lao Ye, those of you are not the young children of our Sheung Shui Village, but ... the robbers of last night."
"What ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Ye Shikai can't help screaming, even beginning to wonder if he heard it wrong.
"Lao Ye, don't be excited first." Shang Guanjian quickly explained, "You don't understand the difference between wartime and peacetime. Now the front line needs a large number of personnel, replenishment of soldiers, escorting of grain and ordnance. These all require people. At that time, even the people in jail will be released as a source of troops to the front line. "
Ye Shikai didn't say much. In fact, he also knew that if the front line was tight, these prisoners would definitely be put on the battlefield as a new force. Otherwise, staying in prison would not only have no effect, but would also feed them with food. And, these Most of the prisoners are young adults. If released, they will have strong combat power.
Ye Shikai can understand that this is ancient after all, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden that the robber who was caught by him in prison last night will soon become his subordinate.
"Korean Han is also aware of your difficulties, so I also gave you some privileges. The ten people you originally belonged to were promoted to Wu, some Wu Yiqiang were promoted to what they were, and they won military titles. With them, you manage these. The prisoner army is also a lot easier. "
"Okay." Ye Shikai accepted the errand reluctantly. He didn't worry that these prisoners would rebel when they joined the army. This is a capital crime, and no one dares to touch it easily, but he doesn't think how to manage it.
"That's good. Barn clerks from Zhihe County in the village in the afternoon will come to take inventory and take away the grain. We may also be accompanying you at that time, so you must hurry and prepare."
