Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 59: Teaching people to gain public support
After the Mongolian army broke through the city, Zhang Yong silently retreated to the rear, because there was no need to think about the rest.

Massacre will definitely happen, after all, this is the style of the Mongolian army.

As a person who came from modern times, Zhang Yong still finds it difficult to accept things like massacre.

So out of sight and out of mind, Zhang Yong went directly to the baggage troops at the rear.

The battle lasted all night, and the Mongolian army encountered some resistance in street fighting, but these resistance forces were quickly eliminated by the Mongolian army.

At this time, the Mongolian army experienced the war to unify the Mongolian grasslands, the war against the Jin Kingdom, the war against Xixia, the war to destroy Western Liao, and the war to destroy Khwarezm.

It can be said to be battle-hardened.

Unless several times more troops are deployed to deal with the Mongolian army with absolute superiority, the Mongolian army will be invincible at this time.

The massacre lasted for two days and one night. During the process, more than 500 craftsmen, more than 2000 female dependents, and some young and strong slaves, a total of 1 people, were sent to the rear.

A large amount of grain and livestock were also delivered, and Zhang Yong immediately sent people to count them. It was calculated that it would be enough to feed the army for more than two months.

Good guy, this is a battle, and the supplies are in place in one step.

In addition, the Mongolian army also looted more than a dozen large carriages of gold, silver and jewelry. After all, this is a city with tens of thousands of people, and the city lord here is still very wealthy.

Coupled with the properties of some wealthy merchants and nobles in the city, the Mongolian army gained a lot of wealth. It was really a huge profit after a battle!

No wonder the Mongolian army is so powerful!This method of plundering and obtaining wealth really allows soldiers to unleash their super combat effectiveness.

At noon the next day, Wo Kuotai summoned Zhang Yong.

"Mr. Zhang, why didn't I see you entering the city to plunder yesterday? This city lord has saved a lot of treasures, and now they are all ours. Although you didn't go, it doesn't matter, I left a share for you." Kuotai said happily while sitting in his military camp.

This city is very wealthy. When some ordinary civilians in the surrounding area fled, they also brought all their property into the city.

There are also a large number of wealthy businessmen gathered in the city. As a result, they all now have an advantage over the Mongolian army, and the soldiers basically grabbed a lot of money.

In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, they also harvested a lot of valuable spices, wine, grain, livestock, and slaves.

"Thank you Lord Wo Kuotai, but these treasures are more important to the general, so I don't want them anymore. I thought about a few things yesterday and wanted to report them to Lord Wo Kuotai today." Zhang Yong said.

I didn’t expect that I would have a share!But Zhang Yong plans to teach Wo Kuotai how to use these treasures correctly.

"I also left a lot of treasures, and I have a share. You're welcome. Mr. Zhang, do you have anything to tell me?" Wo Kuotai asked.

What's the point of not wanting treasure after winning a battle?

When their Mongolian army attacked the city and captured the territory, they wished they could grab more!

"Lord Wokuotai, what do you plan to do with the trophies you captured and a large number of slaves?" Zhang Yong asked.

"You and the captains who follow me will each have a share, and then send part of it to my father. What do you think of this approach?" Wo Kuotai asked. "General Wokuotai, don't give up the greater interests, the treasures you robbed, for the sake of the small profits in front of you.

I suggest that you don't keep any of it for yourself, but give all of it to the soldiers who will fight with you this time. Everyone should have it.

Send the rest across the river to your brothers, Jochi, Chagatai, and Tuo Lei. Each of the three of them will have a share, and Tuo Lei's share will be the largest, and the rest will be handed over to you. Father Genghis Khan dealt with it, and so did these slaves. "Zhang Yong said.

"Send all those slaves to my father Khan and leave them at my father's disposal. I can promise you this. I will distribute my treasures to the soldiers who follow me in the battle. This is no problem.

It’s okay to give treasures to my father Khan, as well as Brother Chagatai and Jochi, but why should I give treasures to Tolei?

You should know everything about him and me. It is impossible to reconcile our current relationship? "Wo Kuotai asked.

These were all trophies that I had snatched, and I had just completely offended Tuo Lei to death. How could I possibly give him these treasures again?

It's no problem to give it to Brother Chagatai. After all, Brother Chagatai has always supported him and was the best to him.

But he didn't want to give it to the remaining two brothers, and why should he give it to Tuo Lei's biggest share?
The biggest share should be given to Brother Chagatai!
"General Wokuotai, if you give these treasures to Tolei, your father will be very happy to know about it, and you can win appreciation and recognition from your father, Genghis Khan.

Earn prestige and respect from the generals around the Great Khan, and leave a good impression in the hearts of all Mongolian soldiers. You should know that prestige and respect are more useful than these gold and silver treasures.

Your father, Genghis Khan, saw that you were fighting in the war and did not forget to leave a share of the spoils for your brothers. He would think that you wanted harmony between brothers.

He will be very pleased, and those Mongolian generals will also think that you are a very good leader.

Those ordinary soldiers will see that they will get a lot of rewards by following you, General Ogedai, in battle. They will think that following you has a better future than following Tuo Lei.

These things are much more precious than some gold and silver jewelry. "Zhang Yong said.

Sometimes the most important thing is to win people's hearts and improve one's reputation. Now Tuo Lei's reputation in the army has reached its peak due to his military exploits in the Western Expedition, but Wokuotai is inferior to his brothers in fighting.

Sometimes ordinary soldiers are more willing to follow generals who are considerate and generous to their subordinates. Even if they are defeated, the soldiers will never leave them.

As for those gods of war, hehe, ordinary soldiers don’t want to follow them!
The gods of war win military honors, but what do ordinary soldiers have?

What they want is nothing more than some money and survival.

The most typical examples here are Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu fought more than 70 battles in his life and maintained an almost complete victory record.

But in the end, he only lost one game and lost his life as a result. Liu Bang lost most of his life, but in the end he gained the whole world.

This is the role of winning people's hearts, making everyone think that following you has a better future is the most important thing.

After listening to Zhang Yong's words, Wokuotai stood up and walked back and forth in his tent, as if he was thinking and struggling mentally.

"Mr. Zhang, you are right. Some things are indeed more precious than gold, silver and jewels. I know. I will not keep any of the treasures plundered this time. I will do as you say, and the slaves will also do it." Send them all across the river," Wokuotai said.
