In the final analysis, those who fled south were just trying to survive, but Wu Gongling did not reject anyone who came.
For a time, various resources of the Song Dynasty were concentrated in the south, and food issues became a top priority. Food was always the last bottom line for people.
Although Wu Gongling snatched a lot of grain from Luo Zhao, many of the people who came to donate donated a lot of grain to him in order to save their wealth and lives. Those who donated money and grain gave different sizes according to the amount they donated. Officially done. But no matter how much food he has, it is limited and cannot feed so many people who come to vote.
what to do? For Wu Gongling, it’s easy to handle! Anyway, people have been deceived.
In his words, I have provided you with a safe environment. You can think about how to survive in peace, whether it is to hunt in the mountains or eat grass and tree bark. You can think of your own way.
Is there any other way to fill my stomach? Yes! Those of appropriate age can come and join the army, and they will have food to eat!
If you have a girl at home, you can consider marrying one of my soldiers. My soldiers can get food to support their families! The soldiers who marry me will naturally have food to eat.
Faced with the problem of survival, etiquette, justice and integrity are gone!
For a time, the rebels who fought here since the rebellion in Cangzhou became popular here. I don’t know how many people took the initiative to send their daughters to their homes.
The war between the various countries is in full swing, but there is a large-scale situation of taking wives here. The atmosphere is very different from the atmosphere in the world.
In the city, in the temporary military camp, the generals followed Wu Gongling out of the house and went straight to the school grounds.
On the way, he met a soldier who came to deliver the message. The soldier was about to leave after delivering the news, but Wu Gongling waved and shouted: "Skinny monkey, don't run away, come here."
The soldier, known as the 'Skinny Monkey', immediately ran back to wait for orders.
Wu Gongling looked him up and down for a while and asked, "I heard that your boy married two wives in one go. Is this true?"
The thin monkey immediately scratched his head and said: "I also followed the general's orders to save refugees from fire and water. People came to ask for help, and I couldn't bear to refuse."
"You can't bear to be so stupid, just because you think I'm good-looking!" Wu Gongling punched him in the chest, "With your body, how can you cope with marrying a wife of two wives?"
The disciples of the Heavenly Maiden Cult who were in charge of guarding around him couldn't help but glance in this direction and found that this person didn't seem to have anything nice to say. Hui Qingping, who was following him, twitched the corner of her mouth. She seemed to have gradually become accustomed to Wu Gongling's dirty words. If Wu Gongling had said something virtuous, it would have been strange.
Thin Monkey's chest puffed up, "No problem!"
Wu Gongling: "It's useless to talk harshly. If your legs are weak and you can't do business anymore, get out of here immediately. I'll see what you do to support your family!"
"Definitely not!" Skinny Monkey assured loudly.
"Get lost!" Wu Gongling shouted.
The skinny monkey shrunk his neck and ran away in despair.
Lieutenant General Jin Xiang was nearby and reminded him with concern, "General, at this critical moment of war, is it appropriate to let the brothers go free to celebrate weddings?"
Wu Gongling glanced at him, ignored him, and led everyone to the school ground.
A group of people lined up neatly on the school field. Wu Gongling came on stage, walked back and forth twice on the stage, and said loudly: "Gather everyone together today to talk about some serious business. What serious business? Let's talk about everyone's marriage."
"hehe…"
"hey-hey…"
There was laughter below.
Wu Gongling pointed at Jin Xiang, "You asked me just now, at this time of war, is it appropriate for brothers to hold weddings? Do you think it is appropriate?"
The soldiers in the audience looked at each other in confusion, not knowing whether it was appropriate or not, and not knowing how to respond.
Wu Gongling said: "To be honest, I don't think it's appropriate. The war is the most important thing! But I still did it. Why? When the brothers and I raised troops in Cangzhou, we wanted to make a future together. In the end, I, Wu Gongling His incompetence not only failed to give the brothers a future, but also harmed everyone's family, causing everyone's family to be destroyed, and the family was gone!" His eyes turned red, he patted his chest, and said loudly: "I, Wu Gongling, am sorry for the brothers. It turns everyone into a bachelor!"
These words may have aroused the sadness of many people. Some people's eyes were red, and some were choked, thinking of the children and young people in their families who were affected by the war.
"So no matter what the conditions are, no matter how difficult the conditions are, I, Wu Gongling, have to bear the responsibility and give an explanation to the brothers. I have to let the brothers have a family again, right?"
When Hui Qingping heard this, she glanced at him with some surprise in her eyes.
"Having a family is a good thing, so everyone who gets married is given at least ten gold coins as a subsidy, but we can't turn a good thing into a bad thing, and we can't become deaf and blind and ignore what is going on outside the window. I heard that some people married with one house, and some People marry people with two, three, four or five bedrooms. Of course, I won’t stop those who are able to marry. I will only congratulate and be happy for the brothers. But you can’t mess around!”
"Now that the war is not over, I can't get out of bed with a woman in my arms, can't pick up a knife, can't climb on a war horse. Is that ridiculous? Are you tired of living? You will be defeated later. No matter how many marriages you have, it will be a dream. Become someone else's! Even a skinny monkey like a crooked melon and split date can marry two delicate beauties. Why? The reason is that the swords and guns in our hands are sharp enough, not because you are a pretty boy who can hook up. We can't lose our fundamentals. !”
"We have to establish a foothold on this ground in the future. It is not appropriate to ruin and stink this ground. Do we still want to be driven around? Brothers, it is time to calm down and not go too far! When I say this, do you understand?"
"Got it!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Okay!" Wu Gongling nodded, "As long as you understand everything, it's a rule. Once you understand it, the rules will be established. If you break the rules, don't blame me!"
After leaving the school grounds, Wu Gongling convened the generals for discussion and set the rules. From today on, ordinary soldiers below can only marry one, and those who reach a certain level are only allowed to marry at most two.
This is the rule in wartime. If the world is at peace, you can marry according to your ability.
After the generals received their orders, Wu Gongling reminded him again, "In addition, don't stare at those beautiful ones. After we stand firm, are we all powerful and afraid that there will be no beautiful women? Don't compete with the brothers below! Today's It doesn't matter whether the situation is ugly or pretty, what's important is to stabilize people's hearts. Those daughters of wealthy families in Nantou, everyone has to use chopsticks! I also set a rule for the brothers who have reached higher levels today. If you want to marry, you can only marry. Have all the wealthy people heard this?"
A group of people were dumbfounded. One general complained: "General, who doesn't like beautiful people? What does marrying an ugly person have to do with stabilizing people's hearts?"
Wu Gongling immediately spat back, "Are you so stupid that you are smoking and suffocating? I have already said that we have to establish a foothold here. Our foundation is shallow, how can we establish a foothold as soon as possible? The best way is to marry! To put it harshly It's just binding. You are related by marriage to those wealthy families. The brothers below are related by marriage to most of the civilians who come to Nantou. By then, the people in Nantou will not be able to turn back, no matter whether they are sincere or not, and they will have no choice but to stand with us. , how powerful is this connection?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized, not to mention Jin Xiang, even Hui Qingping was thoughtful, and finally understood the reason why this guy let the people below him get married.
Dan Dongxing, the acting head of Tongxian Pavilion standing nearby, shook his head when he heard this. He was truly impressed by this person. He didn't do any good things along the way, but he was able to make it all the way.
Wu Gongling pointed at everyone's noses and continued to curse: "Do you think you are great? You are all big bosses, who would normally think highly of you? The richer the family, the wider the network of people, and the family will know how to handle things. There are many capable people. From now on, the management of this land cannot always rely on us to fight and kill, but also rely on the help of these people. Do you understand, do you need me to explain more about the high-low matching principle that drags down the water? "
"Can you be beautiful enough to fight, manage the place, or be used as food and grass? At this time, there is such a good opportunity to take advantage of this. If you marry someone, you will have to give two girls as a dowry. What a good thing, you still follow me Are you being picky and eating shit one by one?"
The first general said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "General, what you said makes sense, is it true? But big families have many rules, and you also said that they look down on us. This matter is difficult to handle and very troublesome!"
Wu Gongling stared: "Is there water in your head or too much feces and urine? When is this? It's war time! They are the fish on the chopping board! I want you to pretend to be polite. I want you to eat and look good so as not to affect people's hearts. I am not letting you You are so polite. If they are reasonable, you should be polite. If there are many bad things, what are the swords, guns, men and horses in your hands for? To scare people, do you still need me to teach you? You want to marry, who dares? Not getting married? I even sleep with the elders of the Heavenly Lady Sect. How could you be so stupid after following me for so long?"
"Wugong Ling, shut up your stupid mouth!" Hui Qingping scolded, so angry that she was still nearby.
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!" Wu Gongling immediately turned around to apologize and said, "It's not about sleeping, it's about marrying, it's about marrying. Madam, please calm down."
All the generals were holding back their laughter.
The people in the Heavenly Maiden Sect who were responsible for protecting them also had strange expressions.
Make public! Dan Dongxing couldn't help but shook his head and made a comment in his mind.
He found that Wu Gongling was quite 'frank' and always said what he had to say. That kind of frankness meant that he had to achieve his goal as quickly as possible.
"Why are you laughing? A man must be able to bend and stretch. I marry a wife just like you marry a woman from a wealthy family. Do you understand?" Wu Gongling turned around and scolded the generals who were suppressing their laughter. He patted the table and asked, "How are the men and horses doing? How many people have been recruited?”
A general reported: "Millions of people have been summoned."
Wu Gongling pondered in silence for a moment, then said slowly: "We all suffered the loss when Cangzhou raised its troops. They claimed to have millions but they were all a mob and were vulnerable. We cannot suffer such a loss again. We are facing a rare strategic opportunity. In the future, everyone at the top and bottom should cheer me up, and all the new recruits I get should be trained as soon as possible. What I want is not just a mob, but people who can fight. This is the capital for us to gain a foothold in the future!"
"Now that the opportunity is good, if nothing happens, we will pull them out to fight against the small group of Song Army troops and train them in actual combat! I'm going to say something ugly in front of you. If there are more troops, everyone's official positions will inevitably rise accordingly. All those who are capable will be given to me. Come out, and when the time comes, whoever has trained soldiers who can fight will be promoted. Those who don’t have that ability will be jealous of others, but you can’t blame me for being partial!"
The Korean troops were fighting fiercely with the Song troops in the north, but Wu Gongling did not do his job and started other things, which made the Korean side angry.
But Wu Gongling succeeded in sowing discord among the three major sects and successfully won the support of the Heavenly Girl Sect. In front of him, all the guardian monks around Wu Gongling became members of the Heavenly Girl Sect, and the Heavenly Girl Sect began to bargain over the distribution of benefits.
It's wartime now, and both Baichuan Valley and Supreme Palace are blocked by the Goddess Sect. Wu Gongling takes the opportunity to expand his strength and praises the Goddess Sect. If they don't agree to our conditions, we will create a fait accompli. The truth doesn't hurt either.
Wu Gongling is already doing this. He will not be polite and will seize the opportunity to settle the matter first.
