Wei Shuyu and Du Aitong both came from Chang'an City. They had only heard about the situation in the border areas and had no great impression of them. In today's battle, they finally witnessed the fighting power of the Fuso people. They were truly fearless and brave.
At that time, they were attacking a small town. The town's defenders had only more than a thousand people, and they were no match for them. However, there were still two or three thousand civilians in the town. According to the experience accumulated before, these two or three thousand civilians were basically the same as soldiers, and they would kill and injure many of us in the war.
At this time, a unified order was issued from above, ordering the Tang army to stay on the edge of the town, and it was the turn of the Fuso and Goguryeo armies to take the field. These people only had some simple armor on them and held cold weapons in their hands, but it did not hinder their combat.
Wei Shuyu and Du Ai were stunned. In the past, these people would attack anyone who moved with their swords. After entering the village, they restrained themselves a little, but if the other party posed a threat, they would still attack without hesitation.
Of course, after grasping the situation of the entire village, these people could not kill people at will. All the young women and young men were tied up, and the speed was very fast. It was obvious that they were all veterans and had not just learned it. Their speed was even much faster than the real Tang Dynasty army.
The next step is to clear out the entire village. They will not go in the front themselves, but let the young people in the village go in the front. If there are hidden killers in your village, then they will attack your own people first. Of course, if he can do it, we will not care.
If some of the rioters are not found, they will start to torture the villagers, whipping them one by one. When you are completely dead, they will immediately replace you with another person. They must get the information they want from you, otherwise everyone in the village will be beaten.
“Awesome!”
Like Wei Shuyu, many people had never seen the way the Fuso people did things. This time, they were truly enlightened. During the battles of several consecutive days, they could only describe the Fuso army in these two words: although many Fuso soldiers died, their attack speed was definitely much faster than that of the original Tang army.
The Fuso people's attack was devoid of any strategic considerations; they simply charged forward in a swarm. Perhaps those in the front would die, but in their minds, war always involves death. Even if you die here, it doesn't matter. The Tang court will not mistreat your family. If you die fighting for the Tang Empire, then one of your family members will no longer be a slave and will be given a new life.
Now in Fusang, most people are slaves of the Tang Dynasty. They work more than ten hours a day and get only two steamed buns. But if you die fighting for the Tang Dynasty, one of your parents or relatives will immediately become a normal person.
What does it mean to be a normal person? It means that you only work eight hours a day, and in addition to two steamed buns, you can also be given some other supplies. In short, you live better than others. When others are hungry, at least you can eat your fill.
Although this policy cannot bring much improvement to the situation for many Fuso people, the Fuso soldiers fighting on the front lines all understand that only by sacrificing their lives can they exchange for a better life. If you retreat, it will be even more difficult for your family.
There are many ship repair institutions along the coast of Fuso, and many people cannot go ashore for months in the water. If you are afraid of death on the battlefield, or fail to complete the mission, then your family will be sent to such places. Soaked in sea water, by the time the ship is repaired, you may have lost your life here.
Don't expect the masters of the Tang Dynasty to show mercy. According to the slave education of these years, you Fuso people were defeated in the war. In theory, we should kill you all. This is some of your Fuso customs, but we in the Tang Dynasty are different from you. We have our own considerations and our own mercy.
Therefore, everyone on the Fuso Islands can save their lives, but your life belongs to the Tang Dynasty court and has nothing to do with you. Whether you are fighting on the front line or farming in the rear, everything you do is a gift from the Tang Dynasty court. Otherwise, when Fuso was defeated, I am afraid that your heads would have been chopped off. How could you have the opportunity to work today?
At the beginning, this kind of education was completely unpopular, and there were even many Fuso people who rebelled. They created their own doctrines internally and called on everyone to stand up and resist the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, many people joined, but they soon found something wrong. If you join such an organization, your entire family will be killed immediately. And it seems that it is similar to what the people of the Tang Dynasty said, that after being defeated, the enemy must be killed. This is how the daimyo of Fuso fought against each other.
The fact that we are still alive is indeed a blessing from the Tang Dynasty court. We should not worry too much about it. The Tang Dynasty court has established a complete system. As long as we serve them well, our lives will be pretty good.
Of course, some things are not always like this. Many people still insist on their independence and do some trivial things in various parts of Fuso. However, Li Xiang doesn't look down on these jumping clowns at all. If the current policy continues, these guys can't cause much trouble.
After learning about these things, Wei Shuyu and Du Aitong finally understood why the Fuso soldiers fought so bravely. It was purely for the sake of making life better for their families. But is our court too harsh?
For losing a life for the Tang Dynasty court, the people at home only got a few hours less working time, and they didn't even have any freedom. On the surface, they gained freedom, but in fact, they still had to do the same work. Moreover, during the busy farming season, such people were treated the same as slaves and had to work more than ten hours a day. The only difference might be a bowl of rice soup.
However, the two of them quickly shook their heads and threw this idea out of their heads. Since the Japanese didn't bring it up, why should we care about it? They harassed the coast and killed many people...
