"Yes."

"Aren't they too relaxed?"

"Didn't Your Majesty say that the captives should be treated preferentially? Presumably Xi Zhicai also had some scruples, so he imprisoned them here and sent them food. Everything is up to them." Jia Xu smiled lightly.

"This is no confinement." Xu Ding said speechlessly: "This is simply to enjoy the blessing. No matter which country, which dynasty or generation, has never treated prisoners like this."

"When I say preferential treatment, I mean no beating or scolding, giving them a humane attitude, and giving them meals like ordinary soldiers. However, our food is not brought by strong winds. They always have to do something to be worthy of two meals a day. Right?" Xu Ding said.

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Xu Ding glanced around the school grounds, pondered for a while, and said, "I see that the surrounding areas of Xuchang and the counties in Yuzhou are still dirt roads, so they can build cement roads. You can also repair the towers of the counties and strengthen the fortifications. Or It is to take them to the barren land, open up wasteland and farm, and be self-sufficient. Not only that, but also teach them to learn our culture in their spare time, so that they can understand that China has been online for thousands of years, what are the heroic deeds, and the folk customs , it is best to make them like this place. In this way, it will help persuade more troops of the Western Shang Empire to surrender in the future. Don’t forget that the purpose of capturing these people when we captured them was to let them go to the front of the battle to help us persuade us to surrender. The effect of subjugating an army without fighting."

After Xu Ding finished speaking, Jia Xu silently nodded.

Before, he had always disapproved of capturing people from the Western Shang Empire. He felt that they could not be educated. Since they were enemies, they should be treated cruelly without leaving any regrets.

But

It would be a good strategy to use these captives to persuade more people to surrender as Xu Ding said, so as to destroy the Western Shang Empire.

He also gradually changed his previous views.

"Your Majesty is wise," Jia Xu said.

"Since you agree, let someone do it."

"promise."

Jia Xu and Xu Ding stayed in the South Campus for a long time, mainly listening to what the prisoners were saying.Find out what they think now.

Xu Ding found that they were very satisfied with their current life.

Of course, as a prisoner, if you don't do anything all day long and don't worry about eating and drinking, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

One day was spent in the prison camp.

By the second day.

Jia Xu posted a notice, informing the people of the city, as well as officials, that a grand military parade would be held the next day.The troops participating in this military parade are the newly formed First and Second Group Armies, with a number of 20!

This number was falsely reported by Jia Xu.Actually less than fifty thousand.

The rest of the troops were scattered in various states and counties and did not return.

The reason for concealing the number is to increase the momentum.

Besides, it is true that the first and second armies indeed have 20 men.

It's just that the number of people participating in the military parade is less.

But from the military parade, we can also see the combat effectiveness of the rest of the troops.

After the notice was posted, it immediately caused an uproar.

The people have long wanted to see what the newly formed army and artillery look like.When the army returned to the city that day, they only took a quick look and didn't even see the artillery.All in the car.This time the military parade is held, and the common people can watch it at will, and finally they can see it.

They all conveyed to each other and agreed to watch the ceremony together.

In the imperial study.

Xu Ding recruited Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and finally determined the number and process of the military parade.

"This military parade is of great significance. After we defeated the Western Shang Empire, we used a new type of army to show our strength to the whole country. If we want the people to support us and join us with peace of mind, we have to use all our wealth. Wenhe, Feng Xiao, are you all ready?" Xu Ding sat down and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, everything is ready."

"Let's talk about it then. Who are those who participated in the military parade?" Xu Ding leaned back on the chair.

Guo Jia held a notebook and said: "The troops participating in the military parade include the 11st Brigade of the 31th Division, the 12th Brigade of the 34th Division, and the 13th Division of the First Army. The 1st Division, the 2th Brigade of the Second Division of the Second Army, and The newly formed artillery columns, field elite regiments, guard regiments, and sharpshooter battalions of the two armies have a total of 4 people."

"These troops are all selected from various armies. They have made different degrees of meritorious service on the battlefield, and they are all veterans. They can definitely show a different aura."

"it is good!"

Xu Ding said with a smile: "More than 3 troops, from the school grounds to the streets, and then to the outside of the city, the scene must be very spectacular."

"Tell the soldiers that this is not acting, not a simple ceremony. You must cheer up and show their aura in an actual combat state."

"Yes."

Jia Xu said: "I have already told the generals participating in the military parade that they will strictly implement it and will not disappoint His Majesty."

"With your arrangements, I can rest assured." Xu Ding asked again: "Have you confirmed the process of the military parade?"

Guo Jia said: "It has been confirmed. The salute platoon will be the first to appear. There are [-] salutes, fired into the sky, and fired three consecutive rounds of volleys, indicating that the military parade has officially started. After that, the most elite field elite regiments will be arranged in a square Come out of the camp."

"All the troops will walk around the school grounds and then parade through the streets. After leaving the city, they will be on the plains outside the city to show everyone that we will quickly build a position. It will be completed within half an hour."

"Afterwards, 3000 people will be sent into the defensive position and hidden in the dug holes. At that time, the artillery column will appear, and they will continuously fire [-] shells to cover the position. After the sound of the artillery stops, the people hiding in the position Soldiers, come out safe and sound."

When Guo Jia said this, Xu Ding raised his eyebrows: "What? Shooting at the position? Isn't this a bit risky?"

Jia Xu replied: "It does sound risky, but in fact, it is very safe. Our defensive position will be extremely strong. All soldiers will be hidden deep underground and will not be attacked."

"Are you sure?" Xu Ding asked.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if we are not absolutely sure, we dare not do this." Guo Jia replied.

"Ok."

Xu must think about it too.

For such a big matter, Guo Jia and Jia Xu would never dare to joke about the lives of soldiers.

Guo Jia continued: "After the artillery exercise, the army will return to the city. There will be a shooting demonstration in the school grounds. Our sharpshooter battalion will show their superb design skills. And this will be seen by everyone."

"Finally, the salute platoon fired three consecutive salvos to end the military parade."

After listening to Guo Jia's wonderful speech, Xu Ding applauded repeatedly: "Okay, in my opinion, this will become a model for a military parade. It's very good and very thoughtful."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

"but."
