Chapter 899 "Confucius said"(2/2)
Just as he was sleeping on his pillow, and Li Mengxi was worrying about how to recruit soldiers here, someone came and volunteered.
As the saying goes, Li Mengxi treated the first batch of people who came to invest seriously, and he used all the means at his disposal to win people's hearts.
The first step is to administer medicine and give medicine. When the rural soldiers come to surrender, they do not test their bravery or compete with their martial arts. They directly send military doctors to check the pulse of the patients one by one. If they are sick, they will be given free medicine on the spot. Even if they are not sick, the military doctors follow Li Mengxi’s method.
I ordered and distributed pills. Anyway, the medicine extracted from willow branches can cure all diseases. If you are not sick, take it as an anti-inflammatory.
This is the first step.
The second step is to give someone a new pair of straw sandals if they see tattered straw sandals on their feet. Although straw sandals are extremely cheap, friendship is more important than courtesy. If you are new here, give them something directly, which is full of sincerity.
Once upon a time, during the expedition against the Yellow Turbans, even if they were giving medicine or taking care of the food of the Yellow Turban prisoners, the Yellow Turban prisoners would still escape. The reason was that the prisoners were afraid of having their heads chopped off by the Zhuozhou army and using them as military honors.
Once the city is attacked, they will be forced to attack the city, so some people escape.
With this experience, this time, after administering medicine and giving small favors like straw sandals, it was time to dispel the concerns of the rural soldiers.
Li Mengxi made it clear to the village soldiers that the village soldiers he recruited this time were not to serve the Julu Army, but to protect the territory and defend the enemy. Because the villagers could not fight together, General Zhendong sent Julu Sergeant to teach them the battle formations.
.
Also, although there are bandits and bandits in the north, General Zhendong has led a heavy army to the enemy city. Nine times out of ten, the enemy troops have been lured by General Zhendong, and the heavy troops moving south are invincible.
Secondly, the country soldiers and others do not need to fight. They only need to cut down trees and build forts, dig trenches and ditches, which is enough to defend against the enemy.
After explaining all aspects clearly, Li Mengxi asked the crowd to surrender to the people, "You are not surrendering to our Julu Army, but you are surrendering to the army for the people of the country and to protect the territory for the people of the country.
If you come to join our army, you will only have to pay for your food, and you will not receive any military pay. Are you still willing to join us?"
The people looked at each other, and someone asked, "Is there any meat?"

Since there was meat, although there was no military pay, they could eat and drink. In addition, they were not working for others, but to protect the country. After weighing the pros and cons, the people immediately decided to join the army.
Li Mengxi immediately sent the recruit instructors to take the rural soldiers away, preparing to start training immediately.
While the soldiers were leaving, Li Mengxi informed the cook and asked him to immediately cook the porridge. The thicker the porridge, the better. Then stir-fry some meat and add more salt and oil.
Half an hour later, the newly joined soldiers who were listening to the instructor's explanation of military discipline were informed that dinner was ready.
The village soldiers were very surprised at this time.
People in the countryside do not eat dinner most of the time, only one meal in the morning and one meal at noon. Even when farming is busy, even if they eat three meals, they will not eat it so early in the evening.
Look up at the sky, it's still early.
Li Mengxi deeply understands the method of motivating people, and the method of motivating people focuses on timeliness. The more timely the incentives are, the better the effect of boosting morale will be.
The rural soldiers received their meals and started to eat. They ate very comfortably, not to mention a big bowl of oily meat, not to mention the white and tender bean sprouts, and the golden, sweet and delicious millet porridge was boiled at the right temperature and was delicious to drink.
It tastes very refreshing.
A soldier from the village stuffed his mouth with a piece of meat. When he saw the people next to him also eating meat, they looked at each other and smiled.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the newly arrived soldiers have smiles on their faces while eating.
After a while, the rural soldiers finished their meal. After this meal, most of them became excited. Seeing that the food here was so good, they all wanted to invite their family members to come over and have a meal.
Others, after finishing their meal, said hello, and left in a hurry. When they came back, it was getting dark, and this man came here carrying his wife on his back.
This man found Li Mengxi and took out the money and said he wanted to hire a military doctor to see my mother. Li Mengxi refused to accept the money and immediately sent ten military doctors to take turns to consult her.
In fact, there is no need for such military doctors. Anyway, they have nothing to do and just find a job.
At Li Mengxi's place, this villager received great attention. After ten military doctors took turns to diagnose and treat him, they also gave him many medicinal materials as gifts. The villager felt sorry for him and insisted on giving money, but the military doctors refused.
Such a great favor brought tears to the eyes of the villagers.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of other villagers, everyone admired the loyalty of the Julu Army.
People's hearts are reunited again. Seeing what the Julu Army has done, the villagers no longer have any worries. Even if the Julu Army is pretending, even if the meat is fake and the medicine is fake, it is just to deceive people into joining the army. They can do it.
To such an extent, even if it is really a lie, you will admit it.
Military doctors are so useful that they can be called a weapon to win people's hearts.
The newly recruited rural soldiers all made up their minds to choose a day to recommend their relatives and friends to come, and Li Mengxi was also ready to take advantage of this. Li Mengxi planned to wait for these rural soldiers to eat meat for a few days, and then
