My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

Linji City was destroyed.

According to past practice, troops should be mobilized to raise food, and there would never be too much food for a war.

Where does food come from? Come from the homes of Linji people.

Stealing food from the hands of people who don't even have enough to eat is tantamount to taking their lives. This process has never been civilized.

Killing, robbing, ravaging, raping... The day the city was destroyed was the day of suffering for the people. Who allowed Linji to rebel?

No one will seriously investigate whether the people actively rebelled or were forced by Zhou Shi to rebel. Anyway, the result is the same.

Food is needed to fight a war, soldiers need to vent their anger, and the country needs to be intimidated.

The best solution is to operate on the common people.

People keep growing like weeds. After burning one batch, the next batch will grow after a while.

Their greatest ability to resist is to charge forward with sickles and hoes, full of flaws, screaming. To add a touch of fun to this war, let the cruel soldiers who have experienced life and death several times chop off their heads and laugh.

The generals took away the land, money, and treasures of those nobles.

The soldiers vented their desires towards the untouchables, relaxing the strings that were tense because they were on the battlefield where they could die at any time.

The best of both worlds.

The generals and soldiers who have benefited will have high morale and fight for the money, beauty, and food for the next victory. Since ancient times, armies that have always been victorious in foreign wars have fought this way.

The general is for fame and fortune, but the soldiers are not worthy of fame and can only seek profit.

The people of Linji, who were hiding in their homes and not daring to go out for a while, knew their fate. They pray that their home will be among the lucky few that will not be broken into, like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

They trembled one after another as they listened to the violent shouts of killing.

When the shouts of death stopped and there was silence outside the window, not only did they not stop shivering, but they fought even harder.

After the two armies fought, it was time to fight them.

The silence lasted for a long time.

The sound of breaking the door did not sound for a long time, as if the Qin army who had won the battle and deserved the fruits of victory was no longer in the city.

East gate.

A large mass of black armor surged in the dark night, as if the invisible tide was surging in the middle of the night, wandering inside and outside the city gate.

Military order: The troops are stationed outside the city. No offense will be committed in the autumn, and those who act rashly will be killed!

The Linji County Magistrate's Mansion was formerly the General's Mansion. General Zhou Shi of the State of Wei lived here and discussed military affairs and important matters here.

The room is brightly lit.

The wooden tables and chairs have rough corners and extremely poor workmanship. They are made of elm trees that can be seen outside.

The second emperor rubbed the edge of the table, which pricked his hands, and he didn't even have an animal skin wrapped around it.

"In order to defend our country from Qin, Zhou Shi spent all his resources on the war...

"Qiu Bo."

Facing the second emperor, the Confucian scholar with an erect crown and crow's feet at the corners of his eyes raised his hands, his wide sleeves hanging down, and responded:

"The minister is here."

He is a disciple of Xunzi.

This time when he went out to the East for the Liberation War, he and many of his brothers accompanied the army. This was an order personally given by the Second Emperor.

"As the magistrate of Linji County, you can eat fish and meat, but not the common people. No table or chair in this house can be moved until the Linji people are full."

"promise."

Looking at Xunzi's disciple with a dull expression in front of him, Ying Chengyu nodded lightly.

The First Emperor destroyed the six kingdoms for the first time. The Qin State suffered from the decline of martial arts and culture. There were many generals and few scholars in the court. There was no way to send local officials to take over the territory of the Six Nations, so they had to win over the powerful local nobles to govern themselves. As a result, the six kingdoms were destroyed but the nobles of the six kingdoms remained, creating a situation where the tail was too big to be lost.

This time, it won't happen.

Today's Qin State, after passing through Han to find the wise men in the world, and after Xunzi's disciples and Guiguzi's disciples went to Xianyang, the remaining civil servants are enough to govern the world.

The nobles of Guanzhong obeyed the orders of the second emperor. In addition to the whole set of combination boxing, the reason why these scholars who could replace them at any time was also the reason why.

"Anything else?"

The second emperor raised his eyebrows. Qiu Bo, who should have accepted the order to retreat, still refused to retreat. There were too many things to do in Linji City at the moment.

"Yes."

Qiu Bo clasped his hands again and held his head high.

"I dare to ask!

"The city of Linji has been destroyed. Your Majesty has issued a decree not to disturb the people. Why do you still raise the butcher's knife against the innocent merchants and nobles!"

Just now, the Qin army killed all the Linji nobles and big merchants, and confiscated their families and exterminated their families in the name of rebellion.

This matter was kept secret or not. The ordinary soldiers who killed Hongyan didn't know the reason, but Qiu Bo had a rough idea.

Those nobles and big merchants who died must have collaborated with Zhou Shi to rebel. But it is impossible to say that it is all true.

"Lanling County was massacred, and the teacher was heartbroken and died in Weishui.

"Your Majesty would kill a merchant just because he was a noble. How different from the previous king! Your Majesty, please remember your teacher's words and appearance!"

Ying Chengyu tapped the table twice with his fingers.

I want to say that the people have been oppressed for too long and lack an outlet. These people must be eliminated at once to create a complete revolution.

I want to say that although the food from Bashu can support the current war, we cannot rely solely on the food from Bashu. The longer the transportation, the more food is consumed. At present, it is okay to ping Sanjin. If we attack Qi and Chu, nine shi of ten shi of grain will be consumed on the way. Food must be collected locally. Since this food is not taken from the common people, it can only be taken from the noble merchants.

I want to attack the local tyrants to divide the land. The powerful and wealthy people in Linji have already occupied 90% of the land. If we don't take advantage of this and kill all these people, once the army passes by, Linji will soon return to its original state, and the people will still be the same. There is no future.

Kill the nobles without disturbing the people.

Although he copied this, he thought a lot before implementing it.

Having experienced the struggle at the bottom, Ying Chengyu, who is at the top, cannot compare with smart people like Zhang Liang in terms of wisdom, but his understanding of the policies to be implemented is far beyond that.

To achieve the position of emperor, every government order is issued after repeated consideration and deliberation.

He wanted to say a lot to Qiu Bo, but in the end all he really said was one sentence.

"I know, let's go do something."

Qiu Bo paused for a moment, with a hint of disappointment on his face and a slightly lower voice.

"promise."

[Teacher, if you saw this scene, would you still let your students join the Qin Dynasty as officials? ]

Qiu Bo left with disappointment and doubts.

Xunzi is dead, and his questions are destined to not be answered. He will follow his teacher's orders and stay in the disappointed Qin State.

When you are unsure about something, ask the spring breeze. The spring breeze has no surname and cannot understand its meaning.

Da~

Da~

Da~

In the empty room, Ying Chengyu tapped his fingers again and again.

Zhou Shi stationed in Linji to rebel and resist the Qin army. It is impossible to say that any of the noble merchants who survived in Linji were completely innocent. The governor of Zhou Shi did not allow the emergence of noble merchants loyal to Qin for the time being.

If he was looking for reasons to kill people, Ying Chengyu could find 10,000 reasons to prove that these people deserved to be killed.

But even if there are innocent people here, can he, the king of Qin, really not know how to wield a butcher's knife?

"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters!" - "Be indecisive!"

"A woman's kindness!"

The evaluations of others over the years resounded in his mind. In the past days, whenever he heard these words, Ying Chengyu was not angry but happy. This was one of the anchors that kept him from sinking in this era.

He does not kill innocent people indiscriminately and maintains a reverence for human life.

The knuckle of his index finger hit the table and he didn't lift it up again. Ying Chengyu said to himself:

"I'm sure I thought about innocence or not, but I'm also sure I didn't think too much about it."

This time, the second emperor focused on the overall situation, and the overall situation was the most important thing.

And this was always incomprehensible when he was not the second emperor, but just the Lord of Chang'an.

If it's a big deal, why can't we consider the small details?

Today he seems to understand...

He rubbed his brows and smiled bitterly.

"The feeling of being hit between the eyebrows by a bullet from ten years ago and completing the closed loop is really bad..."

In order to seek the throne, Ying Zheng, who was not the first emperor, gave up making Afang the queen.

Even though Ying Zheng knew that if he were not the empress and the personal maid who was a thorn in his mother's flesh, there would be no way out, he still gave up in pain in order to truly take power.

Lord Chang'an pointed at King Qin's chest and spat at his brother.

"If you don't protect a daughter! How can you protect a country? No matter how grand and tall the Epang Palace you build afterwards, it's just for your own peace of mind!"

The second emperor walked out of the room lonely.

What he scolded was not his brother ten years ago, but himself ten years later...

He can examine them one by one to see which sin is not worthy of death.

But at this juncture, is it necessary to expend so much manpower and resources to seek the innocence of so few people?

If it really happens by chance, all impossible things will happen together. The nobles who are not guilty enough to die are the richest people in Linji County and have the most grain reserves, and they are unwilling to hand over grains to the Qin army. So what should we do?

Taking it by force, the name of liberation is a joke, and the Qin army suddenly became an unjust army.

If we don’t take it by force, what will happen to our journey in the future? What should I do if something like this happens again in the next county?

The best way is to kill them all with one shot, sacrificing a small number of nobles and achieving success for the majority of the people.

Perhaps tens or hundreds of years later, someone will reverse the case and rehabilitate the noble merchants who were killed indiscriminately.

When this incident became a matter of national concern, public sentiment became fierce, and everyone shed tears of sympathy.

The Third Emperor of Qin should personally receive these noble descendants, redress the injustice of their elders, and say without any pretense:

"Although the late king was wise, he did indeed make a mistake in this matter."

All the people are united in saying good things to Your Majesty. This is another opportunity to unite people's hearts and patriotism.

In fact, these people don't know that they are all vested interests.

A whale falls and everything comes into being.

When one noble fell, thousands of common people rose up.

It’s not that those who achieve great things cannot stick to small details, but after careful consideration, they find that it is best to achieve great things if they don’t stick to small details. This does not conflict with “details determine success or failure”.

It was all the details that were taken into consideration and the informality was chosen.

The new Linji County Magistrate Qiu Bo summoned the people to allocate grain and land in the name of the government. He promised to take 10% of the taxes in the first three years and implement the Huang-Lao philosophy of recuperation.

The practice in Korea has proved that at this time when everything is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized, the most suitable thing for all the schools of thought is the Taoist Huang-Lao School.

It not only wins the hearts and minds of the people, but also makes them feel at ease.

The people of Linji City didn't believe it at first, but after they got all the food and land, they were so happy that they knelt down and kowtowed to the west, almost waking up the sleeping earth dragon under Linji.

Three years later, everyone in Linji regarded themselves as Qin people, and the New Year was celebrated on October 1.

Outside Linji City, the Qin army camped on the spot and rested for one night. Before the army set off the next day, Ying Chengyu separated into ten groups.

In addition to the army he led himself, Fan Kuai, Liu Bang, Meng Tian, ​​Tu Sui, Li Xin, Zhao Tuo, Lian Po, Ren Xiao, and Zhang Han each led an army and attacked in ten directions to liberate Wei.

In the big tent, the second emperor's eyes were bloodshot and his body was tired. He mustered up his energy and said to the nine generals under the tent:

"I don't care how you fight, but I will take care of you after you finish the war. Just like the battle of Linji, I will kill nobles, wealthy merchants, and garrison troops outside the city in the name of treason, and I will not violate the rule of the people."

The nine people first agreed to the promise, and then all of them hesitated to speak.

"If you have something to say, speak quickly and speak directly. Yesterday, there were those who violated military orders. I have asked the swordsmen and axemen to be ready. They are waiting for us to arrive this morning."

Meng Tian looked around and took a breath.

"Soldiers are on the battlefield and may die at any time. The hostility and evil spirits in their hearts have accumulated deeply. If they are not released for a long time..."

Meng Tian swallowed his saliva and lowered his head slightly.

"Maybe the camp will be blown up, Xiaobian."

"The method of release that General Meng mentioned is the massacre of unarmed civilians, or the release of slutty and beautiful women?"

Meng Tian lowered his head and did not respond. Li Xin took a deep breath and said loudly:

"Everything!"

This is not because the Qin army is unorganized and undisciplined, but because all armies in the world are like this.

The victorious side did whatever they wanted on the land of the defeated country. If you look at the recent Israel, you will know that this phenomenon was not completely banned until two thousand years later.

"I said no. This is a military order and a royal order."

Ying Chengyu showed his cold eyes to the public, and the slight bloodshot in his eyes made the generals who looked directly at him lower their heads.

"If you can't lead the army, get out of here now! What Great Qin lacks most is generals!

"Am I being paid too slowly, or am I depriving myself of military merit? I serve as a soldier and fight to protect my family and country! What you are leading are my great Qin warriors, not thieves!

"Blow up the camp, Xiaobian, what a joke! Did you train me this winter in vain? Do you think what I say is bullshit and you just shout a few slogans and that's it?"

"I'm going to tell you the ugly story first. Whoever leads the army and there is civil strife will raise his head to see me. I will kill him without mercy!

"Now go away and be dismissed from your post without removing your title. Retire at home and stay away from the battlefield. Enjoy the glory and wealth and stay away from the dangerous battlefield. It is a beautiful thing."

No one said a word.

He went on an expedition against the Xiongnu and conferred the title of king on the three sons of the late king, and defeated Linji in half a day.

Although His Majesty the Emperor in front of me has fought few battles, each one is tougher than the last. This record is truly powerful.

Except for a strange Wei Liao among the soldiers, who is superior and who is inferior has always been determined by their performance. Even if he takes off the crown of heaven, no one will be dissatisfied with Ying Chengyu's leadership position.

The army has a strict hierarchy. When superiors give orders, subordinates just obey them, no matter how unreasonable the order is.

If you withdraw now and lose yourself, the generals of Qin will no longer be afraid of death. Those who are afraid of death will have long been kicked out of the circle of generals and assimilated into the Guanzhong nobles who they look down upon.

The worst thing is to die on the battlefield? What's the big deal? If you are unlucky enough to encounter civil strife, you will be killed!

Ying Chengyu waited for a moment, and when he saw that no one wanted to speak, his expression softened a lot.

"I am not asking you to die, nor are you laymen who have never led soldiers. This winter's training is not empty talk. What we are fighting is a war of liberation.

"In the future, our army will be an army with faith, an army that the people of the country will feel at ease with, and will never act like thieves!"

happy New Year!

After chatting a few words and resting for a while, next, try to maintain perfect attendance this month and do your best!
