Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 1237 Princess Yingxue knew he was asking for help
Murong Chen was silent for a long time before slowly uttering a few words: "How can I calm down?"

"Brother Chen, the people are very simple.

Whoever treats them well will be recognized as their master; whoever treats them badly will rebel if they cannot bear it.

If you can order soldiers to move away from the people's property every time you capture a city, you will be able to appease the people."

"how can that be!"

Murong Chen interrupted her.

"The soldiers and generals of the Yan Kingdom are famous all over the world because of their ferocity in fighting.

If they hadn't been promised that they could plunder at will once they entered the city, and whatever they robbed would be their own, how could they have been so motivated? "

After hearing this, Princess Yingxue's face tightened, and she was even more convinced that they were a group of barbarian beasts.

"Brother Chen, whoever grabs it will get it. It seems fair on the surface.

But won’t there be conflicts between soldiers and generals?

Likewise risking one's life to fight, some are the vanguard and some are the back-up.

Some people enter the city a step too quickly, while others enter the city a step too slowly.

Some people robbed wealthy people, while others robbed ordinary people.

After such a long time, wouldn’t the soldiers and generals become dissatisfied? "

Murong Chen looked stunned.

Don't say it, it's true.

Not only were the soldiers and generals looking at each other displeased because they were grabbing too much, but they also had different ideas about the food being distributed.

But if they are not allowed to rob, how can they still have the energy to capture the city?
Princess Yingxue seemed to see his thoughts.

He spoke earnestly and thoughtfully: "Brother Chen, you are not worried about the shortage but the inequality.

Now the morale of the Yan army is relatively good. That's because His Highness King Chen is so powerful that even if the soldiers have grievances, they suppress them.What's more, you only captured four cities of Chu State. Even if there is injustice, it is not a big injustice.

But what if one day in the future you capture a richer city?

What if it is Yangcheng and Yongchun City?

The soldiers and generals will definitely feel resentful because they rob more than they can and even fight with swords! "

Murong Chen was silent again.

It's not that he didn't know about the conflicts between the soldiers and generals, he just thought that those were trivial matters.

If you grab more this time, you might grab less next time. If you grab less this time, if you work hard next time, you might be able to grab a big one.

But if Yangcheng is captured, it will be a place of great wealth where the nobles are entrenched.

A rough guy like General Zhang will be in a bad mood as long as someone robs more than him. He is really not a minority in this Yan Army camp...

Murong Chen looked at Princess Yingxue. Although he didn't say anything, Princess Yingxue knew that he was asking for help.

She smiled charmingly: "If Brother Chen doesn't want to see the scene you're afraid of, it's easy.

As long as the reward is based on merit, the rest will be divided equally, so that everyone feels that they have received the treatment they deserve.

They will naturally become calmer, more and more united, and will become more loyal to follow King Chen in the war. "

Divide evenly!

It's not like Murong Chen has never thought about this.

But every time a new city was conquered, part of what was captured had to be sent back to the State of Yan. After the other part was rewarded based on merit, how could there be any money to be divided equally?
Besides, if the soldiers and generals are allowed to grab it by themselves, they will be able to take whatever they grab. Even if they spend it all or eat it all in the future, they can only blame themselves.

It would be different if it were divided equally. Equal sharing is equivalent to unified distribution by the court. If you eat it all or use it up, you will naturally have to reach out and ask for it from the court again.

There is only so much food and so little money, how can we distribute it to them?
