“Grand Commander, we have captured nearly 50,000 prisoners of war this time. What are these captives going to do? You can’t feed them in vain and waste food, right? Wu Yong asked.

There are 50,000 people, and the amount of food consumed every day is not a small amount.

Even the Liangshan rebels had hoarded a large amount of grain before.

And around Liangshan, there are places of production.

But if there are so many prisoners of war in vain, it is indeed too wasteful.

“You can’t kill them all, can you?” Lu Zhishen said on the side.

Killing prisoners, this is indeed once and for all.

In ancient history, there have been such things more than once.

However, for Wu Song, whose soul comes from modern times, such an order is too cruel, and he cannot give it.

However, it is really not a thing to keep them in vain.

“What do you think about this?” Wu Song asked.

“Grand Commander, among these 50,000 prisoners of war, although there are many old and weak. However, there are also many young and strong ones. At present, the Fourth and Fifth Infantry Corps are being formed, which just need a large number of soldiers. From among these prisoners of war, those willing to join the rebels could be mobilized. Although their combat effectiveness is low, they can be regarded as having a certain degree of military literacy. With a little training, it can be put into use. Gongsun Sheng suggested.

Wu Song nodded: “This is indeed a good method. However, the loyalty of these prisoners of war must be ensured. Be sure to pick carefully. In addition, ideological education after that is also essential! ”

The troops of the Liangshan Rebel Army relied on continuous ideological education to make them unswervingly loyal to Wusong.

In terms of will to fight, it is also particularly strong.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Gongsun Sheng replied.

“Grand Commander, the task of the Ordnance Manufacturing Superintendent is very heavy now. Even if we hoarded a lot of weapons before. However, there are still many gaps in the weapons and equipment needed by the Fourth and Fifth Infantry Corps. Some of these prisoners of war could be selected to work in the ordnance manufacturing superintendent. Although they are not comparable to those craftsmen, there is no problem at all in engaging in some simple labor. Just send some soldiers to watch over them and there will be no problem. Wang Ze also put forward his own opinions.

“Okay, the Ordnance Manufacturing Superintendent will also pick some. Be sure to stay safe, though. The weapons and equipment produced by the Ordnance Manufacturing Superintendent are especially important to us, and we must not miss anything! Wu Song particularly emphasized.

“Yes, Grand Commander! These prisoners of war will be mainly used in the production of armor, bows and arrows, sabers and other weapons. The production of artillery and gunpowder is more reliable than with our own people. Wang Ze naturally knew what Wu Song was worried about.

“Well, if you can be prepared, there should be no problem.” Wu Song nodded repeatedly.

“Grand Commander, as for the remaining prisoners of war. We can apply it to road construction, water rehabilitation, and even farming. Wu Yong said suddenly.

After the Yangsan rebels captured Jeju, Yanju and Yanju, they directly confiscated those official fields.

These official fields also need people to plant.

Wu Song thought for a while, and then said: “It can be used to repair water conservancy projects, build roads, etc.” As for Guantian, I still don’t need it for the time being, I have other arrangements. ”

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Wusong said.

After arranging these affairs, Wu Song went to Liangshan Shuibo’s prison.

In the prison, two people are now being held.

They were Qin Ming, the commander of the Qingzhou Command Department, and Hua Rong, the general of Qingfeng Zhai.

In “Water Margin”, the two of them are extremely high-ranking existences among the good men of Liangshan. Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming ranked seventh, while Xiao Li Guanghuarong ranked ninth, and both were cavalry generals.

For the current Liangshan rebel army, it is also a rare and important general.

And Wu Song naturally hopes to collect these two fierce generals.

Inside the prison, Wu Song saw Qin Ming and Hua Rong.

Neither of them was injured in the previous battle.

After they were imprisoned, no one tortured them.

Although he lost his freedom, he was served with good wine and food.

“Both of you, are you okay? The people below, didn’t embarrass you, did they? Wu Song asked the two.

“Who are you?” Qin Ming asked unceremoniously.

“Daring, this is our Liangshan Grand Commander Wu Song!”

“Wu Song? You are Wu Song, the tiger-fighting hero on Jingyanggang? Xiao Li Guanghuarong exclaimed.

Obviously, I appreciated Wu Song’s heroic deeds.

“Hmph! Now it’s just a mess! Qin Ming snorted coldly.

“General Qin, General Hua. That’s right, I, Wusong, am a promiscuous thief. But it’s not that I want to be a thief. It is this world, it is this dark court, that forced me to become a thief! ”
