The Xu Tianze family was loyal and devoted, but one day they were falsely accused, and their entire clan was wiped out. Bearing a deep blood feud, they must make their enemies pay blood for blood. ...
"Enough!" Seeing Xu Tianze standing still, the prince rubbed his eyebrows helplessly and then slammed the table.
He called people over to solve the problem, not to put on a show. They were like monkeys and never stopped.
Seeing that the prince was angry, Huang Zhong and others dispersed and tidied their clothes, but when their eyes fell on the shoe print on Li Qing's face, they couldn't help but feel sad.
The prince glared at Xu Tianze with a twitching mouth. Others could not see it, but he saw it clearly. The size of the shoe print was exactly the same as Xu Tianze's.
"You continue." The prince signaled Xu Tianze with his eyes and quickly changed the subject.
After receiving the information, Xu Tianze opened his mouth quickly. If Li Qing, the old scholar, reacted to this, he would have no peace in the future.
"To put it bluntly, the reason why this violation happened is because there were no military prostitutes." Xu Tianze said, glancing at the people around him. Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, he continued.
"But we are the prince's army, and we are fighting under the banner of the crown prince. If prostitutes openly appear in the army, not to mention our reputation, the morale of the soldiers will be very difficult to deal with."
The prince was also thinking about the problem mentioned by Xu Tianze. The reason why this problem that has existed since ancient times is difficult to solve is that no matter what is done, it will eventually damage the reputation and be constrained by many parties.
Just like what Xu Tianze said just now, the army is used to defend the country and quell wars, and it should be sacred, so there should not be characters like military prostitutes in the army. However, the army is composed of men, and there will always be pressure between life and death and under the strong intensity of training, and it is natural that violations will occur.
This is also the reason why, whenever a city is captured, most generals will let their subordinates run wild in the city, which ultimately results in rape and looting, and the people in the city complain.
Eventually, word of the news spread, causing the cities behind to defend themselves desperately, fearing that surrender would harm the people in the city and bring disaster to their families.
Now if they want to successfully eliminate the bandits and ruffians on the road, they must build a good reputation, and this kind of thing cannot happen. But if this kind of thing cannot happen, how can they release the pressure on the soldiers in the army?
"What does this have to do with your idea that invaders will always invade others?" Although Li Qing agreed with what Xu Tianze said just now, it did not mean that he agreed with Xu Tianze's plan.
"The army still needs military prostitutes. Where do they come from? The offenders must be severely punished. Instead of killing them directly, it is better to let them serve as military prostitutes, which can also have a good deterrent effect." Xu Tianze glanced at Li Qing and told him the reason directly.
After saying that, Xu Tianze returned to his seat and drank his tea slowly. Anyway, he had already told the plan, so whether it would be adopted or not was not his concern.
"this······"
Xu Tianze's plan was extremely vicious. If this plan was implemented, the ugly deeds among the generals would be exposed directly. In that case, these generals would definitely be criticized by others. It could even be said that they might leave a bad reputation in history books and be infamous for eternity.
Furthermore, forcing soldiers to become military prostitutes instead of directly punishing them or caning them can be said to be extremely heartbreaking. It is simply trampling on human dignity and crushing it to the ground. Although it can effectively serve as a deterrent, panic among the people is inevitable.
For a moment, everyone was talking about it. There was no absolute support, but no immediate rejection either. Seeing this, Xu Tianze was not in a hurry.
After all, this strategy was his idea, and he knew the situation of this strategy. Although it was a bit cruel, it was effective. So he believed that the prince, who had no other choice, would adopt his strategy in the end.
"Mr. Xu, this method can certainly achieve results, but I still want to ask if you have any other strategies?" Huang Zhong was pushed out by the crowd and smiled ingratiatingly at Xu Tianze.
Although he knew that Xu Tianze's strategy would be of great benefit and could even prevent infringements, the most important thing was that he would be embarrassed.
Although he is a ruffian soldier, he still has his dignity and would rather avoid embarrassment than lose it.
Xu Tianze looked up at Huang Zhong, then at the other fawning generals behind him, sighing helplessly. He turned to look at the others. Li Qing was holding his chest with a look of disdain, but he was listening intently, waiting for him to speak. The one at the top was also looking at him expectantly.
"Yes." Xu Tianze suddenly laughed out of anger, but still answered with the word "yes".
Without waiting for anyone to ask, Xu Tianze directly revealed another plan: "First, directly recruit a group of women to serve as military prostitutes. In these troubled times, there are many people who can't even get enough to eat. If you provide them with food and shelter, there will be many willing to do it."
Xu Tianze sneered at the people who looked troubled. "Second, let the soldiers burn, kill, and loot in the city to relieve the pressure."
Xu Tianze took a piece of cake and stood up, pinching the cake and pointing at everyone while laughing: "There is no such thing as getting what you want without paying any price in this world. You can discuss the three strategies among yourselves. I guess the victim may be impatient."
Afterwards, he left with Xue Wei and Xi Chen in everyone's silence.
Xichen followed behind and thought about everything, not caring about anything else until he bumped into his master's arms, and then he reacted.
"master?"
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Tianze rubbed Xichen's head with a gentle tone.
At the beginning, when Xu Tianze came to Zhenshan Pass and saw that the people of Zhenshan Pass were very familiar with Xichen, he still had doubts in his heart, and even prepared himself in his heart that Xichen would betray him.
After all, compared to himself who has nothing, the prince has more. The people around the prince have enough kindness towards Xichen and are not dissatisfied at all because Xichen is now with him.
But whether at Zhenshan Pass or now on the march south, Xichen always acted as if he was the most important person.
Xu Tianze would always be more patient with people who were devoted to him, so when he saw Xichen had been frowning since he came out, Xu Tianze turned around and stopped.
Xichen looked up and met the tenderness in Xu Tianze's eyes. He was about to say "no" but swallowed it back. When he uttered it again, it came out in a different tone: "Master, how can you be sure that the prince will choose the first strategy?"
"It seems that you have seen the essence of it." Xu Tianze smiled and took Xichen's hand, then turned and walked slowly. "The first plan is the best strategy, even if it damages my reputation. What's more, I have to give others an explanation."
Xu Tianze didn't explain it in detail, but Xichen had already found the answer he wanted in it.
