Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 482 Post-War Matters
Chapter 494 Post-War Matters
With the living precedent of Xiang Liang, Ying Zheng believes that Xiong Xin and others will also make the right choice!

This urgent edict issued by Ying Zheng shocked Wei Liao again.

The former Yingzheng was decisive in killing and attacking, and the road he walked was completely soaked in blood donation.

But now he can actually learn the methods of those Confucianists, which made Wei Liao really unacceptable for a while.

In the dull eyes of the Shouchun Chu army, the "Xiang Yu" army, which had already reached the wide-open city gate and was about to enter the city, retreated quickly.

Then, the Xiang character flag flying high in the air disappeared, replaced by the huge "Qin" character flag that made all the soldiers of the Chu army chill to the bone.

The morale of the Chu army, which was still high-spirited, suddenly collapsed, and Zhaotong and others directly howled.

They couldn't hold their heads up because of the shock from the sky to the ground.

Even at this moment, they still feel like they are dreaming.

After the Qin army, who had cheated to open the gate of Shouchun City and was able to enter Shouchun City openly and aboveboard in just a few hundred steps, gave up entering the city and showed its banner, it was not yet an hour, including King Chu Xiongxin, Xin Chu Under the leadership of Ling Yin Zhaotong, Zuo Yin Jinggong, Mo Ao Quping, Zhu Guo Wu Rui and others, hundreds of officials of Chu State, large and small, took off their robes, removed their robes, removed their crowns and tied themselves out of the city, to send an ultimatum to those who had issued an ultimatum. The Qin army surrendered.

On the proposition of living and dying together with the Shouchun Kingdom of Chu and living by oneself after the death of the Chu Kingdom with the sacrifice of Shouchun, a group of people, including King Xiongxin of Chu and Zhao Qujing's three clans, reached an agreement without wasting much time.

People say that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

When the news spread that General Xiang Yu's 20 troops annihilated the Qin reinforcements on the north bank of the Huaihe River, the tens of thousands of Chu soldiers left in Shouchun City had no fighting spirit.

Wang Ben chose to give up entering the city to reveal his identity even though he had already deceived the city gate. Everyone knew that the Qin army did not pay attention to the defending Chu army at all, thinking that Shouchun could be easily captured even without tricks. .

Fan Zeng, Long Qi, and Song Yi, who were also captured by the Qin army but were not killed, appeared under the city wall of Shouchun, which can be said to be the direct cause of the collapse of Shouchun.

Although there are still 10,000+ combatable soldiers in Chu, the far water cannot save the near fire. Facing the Qin army's cavalry arrow crossbow, they have completely given up.

Wang Ben directly asked the soldiers to recite Yingzheng's holy decree several times before the battle to ensure that everyone could hear it.

Qin Huang didn't even kill Xiang Liang who assassinated him at the beginning, and the whole Chu State no longer had any doubts about the innocence of the past in Ying Zheng's edict.

Although Daqin once had the experience of Bai Qikeng killing hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Zhao State, this time it was not Wang Ben and other generals who commanded the army to surrender, but the order issued by the Emperor Qin with an edict, which is equivalent to an edict to pardon the world The death penalty of Xiong Xin and others.

It can be suspected that the general of the Qin army will backtrack, but no one will doubt that the imperial edict of the Great Qin Emperor will backtrack.

To the surrendered Chu monarchs and ministers, Wang Ben and Zhang Han neither put on a victorious attitude nor were they too enthusiastic towards Xiong Xin and others, just like Fan Zeng and others, with diplomatic rhetoric.

As for the soldiers of the Qin army, they did not beat or scold them as expected by the soldiers of the Chu army who walked out of Shouchun and surrendered to the Qin army.

It just confiscated the armor and weapons of the soldiers of the Chu army, and then divided them into three places to guard them.Even the daily food consumption is more abundant than that of the soldiers of the Chu army.

After all the soldiers of the Chu army left the city, Wang Ben led the armor-piercing army into Shouchun City.

Seize the treasury and appease the people.Strict military discipline.Soon, the people of Shouchun, who were worried that the Qin army would loot and kill wantonly because the Qin army approached the city, realized that they were wrong.

The military discipline of the soldiers of the Qin army is much better than that of the soldiers of the Chu army who were born in Chu.And Wang Ben distributed the Qin Army's military rations to the people, which instantly changed the Chu people's impression of the Qin Army and even the Great Qin and Yingzheng.

What kind of court there is, and what kind of soldiers there will be.

In the troubled times, the people who suffer the most are often poor people who have nothing. They are the weak in this troubled world.

Wang Ben took out military rations and distributed them to the people in Shouchun who lacked clothing and food, but it was actually a helpless move.

Because of Xiang Yu and the Chu court's wanton confiscation, the money and grain in the treasury of Shouchun almost piled up like a mountain.However, Wang Ben, the treasury, had no way to use it privately before he received the imperial edict from Yingzheng. Now that the Shouchun is under, everything in the Shouchun belongs to His Majesty the Emperor and belongs to Daqin.

Whether it is him or Zhang Han, although they are the people with the highest official positions in Jiujiang today, they have no right to use these things that belong to the emperor and belong to Daqin.

Unless the emperor ordered.

Fortunately, the grain and other things carried with the army are sufficient.

After a day or two, the emperor's edict came, and with the sufficient Shouchun Mansion treasury, all problems were naturally solved.

After everything was settled, Wang Ben and Zhang Han jointly sent Ying Zheng the news of Shouchun's pacification, and asked for instructions on the next step.

When receiving the letter from Wang Ben and Zhang Han, Ying Zheng had already left Hangu Pass and entered Sanchuan County.

As the core of the world, Yingzheng decided to sit in Luoyang and personally wait for the surrender of Chu's monarchs and ministers.

Xiong Xin and others offered the city to surrender, which was expected by Yingzheng.People cherish their own lives, especially those who live in high positions and enjoy rich food and clothing.The aristocratic families of Chu State are even more outstanding among them.

What Yingzheng didn't expect was that the living conditions of the people in Chu were so bad that they needed General Wang Ben's food to help them. It can be seen that Xiang Yu's rule was cruel to the people. Regarding the life and death of these people, no matter whether it is Xiang Yu or the Chu country The imperial court didn't take it seriously at all.

After discussing with Wei Liao, Hu Hai Yingzheng ordered Wang Ben to open the Shouchun government warehouse to release grain to the people of Daqin who extended Jiujiang, and at the same time sent an order to the Sanchuan county guard to collect food and other supplies from the nearby conscripts and go south. Five hundred fine riders were sent to Ao Cang in advance and starry night, accompanied by escorts.As for the treatment enjoyed by the conscripted labor, it is still the same as that of the labor conscripted from the Guanzhong area.

And as the previous labor teams from Guanzhong went to Ao Cang to transport grain, the policy of the imperial court had been known to people outside Guanzhong.It should be much easier for Fang Youcong to conscript labor now.

After all, there were coins for food and drink, which never existed in the past.What's more, it's almost the beginning of October, and the farming work is basically over, and the common people happen to be idle.

Now that Shouchun has been pacified, Shouchun can be used as a logistics base for the army to continue going south to South Vietnam and other places.However, it is clear that it is not enough to rely solely on Shouchun to store food.Not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of troops in need of supplies, just the hundreds of thousands of people who have been left homeless and landless by Xiang Yu will be a big gap. It is obviously not enough to rely on the little food that Xiang Yu collected .

Fortunately, except for a few official warehouses in the Guanzhong area in the Great Qin Dynasty, the laborers who were released and returned to their hometowns due to the distribution of a large amount of grain were not full, and Chen Liucang, which was scrapped by Xiang Liang, was vacant. The official warehouses are basically full of granaries.

The only thing to consider is the imminent severe winter and the long journey southward from Ao Cang to transport grain.

But these problems are nothing to Ying Zheng.
