This was indeed what Lin Jinyue meant at the beginning.
But now she was a little hesitant.
Gu Shao said directly: "I don't think it's appropriate. These people are all desperate criminals who don't obey discipline. I'm worried that they will stab me in the back."
Thinking of this, his brows furrowed tightly.
Lin Jinyue sighed: "Could it be that all 10,000 people will stay in our village?"
To be honest, she wants free labor too.
But...
There are too many people, and food and accommodation are problems.
Gu Shao suggested: "You can investigate first. If you are devoted to serving the people and were tricked by Zhao Tianquan into joining the Red Turban Army, you can sign up voluntarily. We have already contacted his former subordinates. When we defeat Xie Hong, we can disperse them and arrange them in various places."
Lin Jinyue thought this method was feasible.
Gu Shao looked at her and continued: "Actually... we can't give them very good conditions."
Lin Jinyue shook her head, "The basic life still needs to be guaranteed."
She held a different stance from Gu Shaozhan, so she felt that except for a few leaders, these soldiers who were used as cannon fodder were not bad in nature.
After all, Zhao Tianquan and his men were using the banner of benevolence and righteousness to trick people into joining the Red Turban Army.
They weren't too wrong.
Lin Jinyue then handed them over to Lin Fugui and asked him to make the arrangements.
Lin Fugui had already learned Lin Jinyue's rhetoric skills completely, so the Red Turban Army basically compromised without wasting much effort.
After all, most people joined the Red Turban Army just to make a living and feed their wives, children and mothers.
Lin Fugui said that if they worked hard, they would have enough to eat, and if they wanted to settle down in Yunhe Village in the future, if they behaved well, they could bring their mother, wife and children to live with them.
Someone asked, does their village have so much food?
Lin Fugui directly brought potatoes and said, "Do you see what this is? This is a treasure given to us Erya by God. If you pick a small group of people to farm, you can feed everyone."
Everyone was shocked.
Looking at the lumps of earth dug out from the ground, Lin Fugui cooked them directly for them to eat, and said that as long as they worked, they would have enough!
The Red Turban Army was defeated on the first day.
They were in a trance.
Why is there meat in this potato rice?
Although there is not much meat in each person’s bowl, it is all meat!
Look at the rice in the officer's hand, it's all meat!
Another official said that he was a little tired of eating chicken every day and wanted to eat pork and rabbit meat. Another said he didn't know when he could eat beef and mutton again.
These people were not arranged in advance by Lin Jinyue.
It's them...
I'm really tired of eating it.
These people saw that it was not difficult for ordinary people to eat meat, so they fell in Yunhe Village within two days of arriving.
Everyone worked harder than an ox, as if they were building their own house.
Speaking of which, there is another rare thing.
Lin Fugui received a letter from the Red Turban Army. Lin Jinyue took Zhao Tianquan's token and asked her brother to pick him up.
For safety reasons, she also got her brother a card that allows him to enter and exit the farm at any time.
If anything happens, her brother can escape danger.
Lin Xueqing rode there on horseback and arrived at the agreed location in one day.
This is still Prince Jing’s territory.
When he took out Zhao Tianquan's token and added the reward Xie Hong offered him, the Red Turban Army had no doubts at all.
Lin Xueqing looked at these more than a thousand people and without thinking, thought that he could follow their example and asked them to repair the road from Yunhe Village to Langya Village, and have someone clear a large area of virgin forest around it.
Three days later, they hurried along the way, taking turns riding in horse carriages and ox carts, and gradually got out of the jurisdiction of Prince Jing.
Although Prince Jing occupied many places, all the territory south of the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River was his, but the further south he went, the weaker Prince Jing's control became.
After passing Chongren County, there are many mountains and it is difficult to farm. It can be said that we have arrived in a wild and desolate place. Transportation and communication are inconvenient, and the management cost is too high.
Moreover, the sea and river transportation of the Great Xia Dynasty was still relatively backward. With so many people, they could only travel slowly in batches disguised as refugees.
Therefore, they basically won't encounter pursuers.
The vegetation here is more luxuriant, and it is more difficult to travel deep in the mountains. Perhaps their wanted list may not even reach Lingnan.
In short, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
He admired Lin Xueqing even more, and said that with him as his deputy, everyone would feel more at ease.
Some people often complain that the roads in Lingnan are difficult to travel.
However, the fact that the mountain roads in the south are difficult to travel on is not a bad thing. Others cannot enter the deep mountains and old forests, and Lin Xueqing has discovered a lot of medicinal herbs. He did not have time to find them when he fled the famine last time, so Lin Xueqing looked for herbs one by one.
These Red Turban Army could also help him find things, including several decades' worth of ginseng, not to mention all kinds of medicinal herbs.
The experience points collected along the way alone amount to tens of thousands, so Lin Jinyue must be happy.
After walking for nearly half a month, Lin Xueqing was almost bringing them to the vicinity of Shawan County.
In the evening, when they arrived at the resting place, they saw the Red Turban Army was about to light a bonfire. Lin Xueqing hurriedly stopped them: "No, please don't light it. Don't cook tonight, so that the bonfire will not be discovered."
He added, "It's different here. Maybe some of Prince Jing's men have sneaked in, or maybe Xie Hongyan is investigating. You should all be careful near our village."
During the journey, everyone got used to it. In order to avoid pursuers, they would eat dry food and drink water that had been boiled in advance when they saw a military camp marked on the map.
Everyone also developed the habit of eating dry food.
Another small leader couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xueqing, is it possible that we will encounter Prince Jing's army after walking here? I thought we were safe."
Lin Xueqing: "It's just to prevent trouble before it happens. When marching and fighting, we must be cautious at all times."
They had fought with wild beasts along the way, and their blades had suffered a lot of damage, so they had to be careful while traveling.
The small leader was kicked by the big leader.
The big boss came from the military and believed Lin Xueqing's words without a doubt.
Some people began to worry: "Is it safe for us to live in that village?"
Lin Xueqing said: "I know some tricks. In ten days, even if a huge army comes, we are not afraid. If it takes longer..."
The group of people looked at Lin Xueqing's expression and admired her even more.
Each of these people was filled with excitement.
"Yes, I have seen the world and I am not afraid of those monsters and demons."
Come to think of it, they have been fighting Prince Jing all the way here, and now they are fighting Xie Hong again. If they don't have some real courage, it will definitely not work.
Lin Xueqing said directly: "Don't be careless. I was originally a soldier trained under Gu Shao. Now Gu Shao has been framed and Xie Hong has taken over. Xie Hong is a idiot. Those soldiers were all trained by me. They are all difficult to fight."
Several leaders regretted it. Why didn’t they meet Lin Xueqing first?
Otherwise, what is the point of having these people?
Although they regretted it, they didn't really say it out loud, otherwise Lin Xueqing would have thought they had selfish motives.
Lin Xueqing just glanced at them.
He saw through all the little thoughts of these people, but he said nothing. He just looked down on them even more in his heart.
