The carriage came all the way to the POW camp, and special soldiers were on guard everywhere in the POW camp to prevent these Liu''s private troops from mutiny and making trouble.
However, since they were captured, these Liu''s private troops have always been honest and have been very peaceful.
Even in the days when Heyang city was surrounded by Liu''s 300000 troops, these prisoners did not make any trouble.
I spend my days in the POW camp every day. Although I can only drink two bowls of porridge a day, I''m still satisfied with my current life.
Anyway, it''s alive.
After getting out of the carriage, the generals responsible for controlling the POW camp had already waited in advance.
Bowing forward, he planned to accompany Jiang Fan to inspect the prison camp, but he was waved back by Jiang Fan.
With Lin Wanru and Lin Wanqing, a group of hungry prisoners in the POW camp could not pose any threat at all.
The whole POW camp is surrounded by barbed wire in all directions. After all, there is no electricity in the world and it is impossible to prepare the power grid. Therefore, these barbed wire are full of thorns and thorns. In addition, they are guarded closely enough.
The inspection tour of the POW camp was arranged in advance. Therefore, with the arrival of Jiang Fan, all the people in the POW camp were assembled.
More than 4000 people stood in the open space in the middle of the prison camp, looking at them without any spirit at all.
One by one, their eyes were dull. Even if Jiang Fan led Lin Wanru and Lin Wanqing to the temporary platform in the open space, no one made any response.
Just looking at Jiang Fan, he looked indifferent.
"Everyone should know me, so I won''t introduce myself. The reason why I came here today is that I have something to inform you."
Jiang Fan spoke loudly and finally attracted the attention of more than 4000 people to himself.
"I think everyone has heard that not long ago, you Liu gathered 300000 troops and launched an attack on Heyang City, hoping to capture Heyang. However, it is a pity that the combat effectiveness gap is too large. Instead of conquering Heyang, 300000 troops were defeated by our Heyang garrison. At present, tens of thousands of people have become new prisoners and have been placed in a new prisoner of war camp Of course, dozens of people have been arranged here. I believe you can understand what has happened through the mouths of those dozens of people. "
Jiang Fan said with a smile.
Before, Liu''s private army was responsible for the soldiers after the break by attacking the city, and all the prisoners were temporarily escorted to the newly-built prisoner of war camp.
At the same time, in order to further and completely destroy the resistance will of the thousands of people who were the first prisoners, Jiang Fan also made special arrangements to demobilize some of them and imprison them in this prisoner of war camp.
After all, the thousands of people who were captured in the first place have never seen the power of guns. Only through the subsequent demobilization of soldiers to popularize science can they understand how terrible the current Heyang garrison is.
Sure enough, with Jiang Fan''s words, thousands of people gathered finally changed their eyes and expressions.
But this change tends to panic.
"You should all know that according to my idea, as long as Liu can give enough ransom, you can be released. Unfortunately, Liu has no intention to redeem you. On the question of ransom, he has not given any positive response. I don''t mention that he directly arranged 300000 troops to assemble and attack. What does this mean, I''m sorry I think everyone understands very well. "
Jiang Fan paused, gave the prisoners some time to think, and then continued, "you have been abandoned. At least in Liu''s opinion, you are not worth their ransom to redeem you. Then I think the rest of our prisoners are the same."
"To tell you the truth, it''s not a big burden for us in Heyang city to keep you in a prisoner of war camp. But for me, it''s not good to keep you for nothing. The idea of exchanging you for ransom has been dashed, everyone... What would you do if you were me?"
The prisoners looked at each other. Soon someone shouted, "Lord Jiang! We don''t want to die! Give us a way to live!"
"Yes! Lord Jiang! Give us a way to live!"
The voice became noisy.
Jiang Fan stretched out his hand, pressed it falsely, smiled and said, "before I came, I really wanted to kill you all. It might be easier and complete. I don''t have to worry about you rebelling and creating chaos, and you don''t have to waste my food in Heyang city. But at this moment, standing here watching you, I can''t do it."
"War is cruel, but in the final analysis, war is the tool used by ambitious people to achieve their own ambitions. How innocent are you? I can''t bear to bury your lives here for the ambitions of others."
"So I have another idea. You can join in Heyang, add bricks and tiles to the construction of Heyang, earn money with your own hands, and then feed yourself. As for the army, you are not hopeless, but you need to go through strict examination. Only after passing the examination can you become a member of Heyang army."
"In this way, I don''t have to raise you for nothing, and you don''t have to worry about being a prisoner. Of course, when you first joined Heyang City, you will still be limited and enjoy rights that can''t be compared with the original Heyang people."
"I believe you can understand this. As long as you can work hard and completely integrate into Heyang in the next days, and with the recommendation of the local people of Heyang, you can really break away from the status of prisoners and become the official people of Heyang."
"In addition, I won''t just give you a way. If you don''t want to join Heyang, or if there are relatives still in Liu''s territory, I won''t stop you from going back to reunite with your relatives. You can go as far as possible. But I want to explain one thing."
Jiang Fan paused again and again, looked around at all the prisoners in the field, and continued: "on the battlefield, each is his own master. I have no superfluous ideas about you. But this time I let you go back to give you a way to live, so that you can live the day that ordinary people should live."
"If you don''t cherish this opportunity, go back and rejoin Liu''s private army, and participate in the war as Liu''s private army again in the future, there is no excuse but death! Everyone should register their identity after leaving. I Heyang army will never say that they will be captured twice!"
"Now, start registering. If you want to stay, stay. If you want to go, you can go after registering."
