Chapter 621: Where Do the Soldiers Rest?
When returning to the city, all the Qin soldiers were slightly confused. Some people asked their companions next to them from time to time, did they really finish the battle like this?
Leave the city in the morning and return to the city at noon.
When they came back, the baggage team in the city had just left the city, and they were stunned when they saw them.
The people in the city were also stunned for a while. Even if they lost, they didn't lose so quickly?
But soon, the returning team caused everyone to make a noise!
Because behind them were the people from Elephant Valley and two elephants.
But at this time, everyone did not cheer, but became more and more confused.
Just win?
Until you return to the city and enter the military camp.
The Qin soldiers gradually came to their senses.
At this time, inside the military camp.
Zhao Langzheng told Zhao Tuo calmly,
"I will return to Xianyang soon. I still have to trouble General Zhao to watch over the land of Baiyue."
"When I get back, I will naturally ask for credit for the general."
Zhao Tuo bowed his head very honestly at this time and said,
"His Royal Highness, you are serious in your words. Guarding the country is the duty of the ministers. I dare not claim my merits."
At this time, he couldn't see the slightest bit of unruliness.
Until now, he didn't know what method Zhao Lang used.
Why is it so powerful?
Zhao Lang smiled at this time and said,
"This request for credit is not just for General Zhao, but also for other soldiers."
"Great Qin will never forget those who have made meritorious deeds."
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo took a breath in his heart, and then said,
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
After saluting, Zhao Tuo paused and continued,
"I still have some rare treasures from the Land of Baiyue that I would like to donate."
"Please accept it, His Royal Highness."
Zhao Lang nodded very naturally, and was about to agree, when he saw Hu Hai beside him, looking unhappy.
Then he looked at Zhao Mier at the door, his mind changed, and he said,
"Well, I'm not very familiar with the preservation of these things."
"I also want to ask the general to send an envoy. It just so happens that he can also express his merits to the father and receive the reward on behalf of the general."
Zhao Tuo on the side seemed to realize something.
Following Zhao Lang's gaze, he landed on his daughter, his expression moved slightly, and he said with a bit of temptation,
"Your Royal Highness, my daughter Zhao Mi'er can take on this responsibility."
Hearing this, Hu Hai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was about to nod crazily, but was glared back by Zhao Lang.
Zhao Mier was also stunned for a moment, but did not say anything.
Zhao Lang replied with a smile,
"Miss Mi'er is the Queen of the General, so it's no problem."
"Then the matter is settled."
Zhao Tuo immediately saluted and said,
"I respect your order."
After saying that, he left and wanted to go back and give Zhao Mi'er some serious instructions.
At this moment, the big dog hurried in from outside and said,
"Master, the young army has arrived outside the city."
Zhao Lang stood up directly and said,
"It's better to choose a different day and let them go into the city to buy some supplies. Tonight, I want to reward the army!"
"General Zhao is also arriving tonight."
Zhao Lang had no intention of asking Zhao Tuo about these orders.
Now, with his prestige, the Qin army in the city will only listen to him.
Zhao Tuo didn't say anything, just asked if he wanted to help, and then withdrew.
As soon as Zhao Tuo left, Hu Hai jumped over to Zhao Lang excitedly and said repeatedly,
"Brother Lang! You are really my brother! You are the best to me!"
Hu Hai just feels full of joy now!
But while he was still in mid-air, he was kicked out by Zhao Lang.
"You like Zhao Mi'er, I don't object, but you can't be too strong, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"
Hu Hai patted his chest and said,
"Brother Lang, don't worry, Mi'er is also interested in me!"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Hu Hai running out with a smile, Zhao Lang's eyes were indifferent.
It would be best if the matter between Zhao Mier and Hu Hai can be settled.
The generals guarding the border still need more restraints.
Soon, the young army entered the military camp.
Seeing the young army who acted uniformly and had a completely different temperament from ordinary Qin soldiers, many Qin soldiers were also a little curious.
It's just that the young army just guarded Zhao Lang and didn't communicate much with them.
When night fell, piles of bonfires rose in the open space in the military camp.
Qin Jun is still familiar with this, and there are many bonfire parties in the villages here.
Knowing that this was a reward for them, they all smiled and prepared to have a good meal.
Things turned out as they expected. The prince and the general came and gave them food and wine.
Food enters the mouth, wine enters the throat.
They relax, or numb themselves.
They are the unparalleled Qin army, but they are trapped here because of state affairs.
They do not have such a high level of consciousness, and they have resentment and hatred in their hearts.
If someone helps them resolve it, they will get through it slowly.
If someone incites it, it may break out.
Their 500,000-strong Qin army is also a human being.
This is human nature.
When the campfire party was halfway through, Zhao Lang suddenly stood on a high place, and the young soldiers walked into the middle of the Qin army one by one.
Everyone looked at Zhao Lang in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.
Zhao Tuo also frowned slightly.
Then those who were close heard Zhao Lang say,
"You have worked hard!"
Then, all the young soldiers were like megaphones, saying one after another,
"You have worked hard!"
The entire military camp fell silent instantly, and they knew what Zhao Lang was going to do.
Zhao Lang continued,
"For the Qin Dynasty, I stayed away from my homeland and fought everywhere."
"But Great Qin will not forget you!"
Zhao Lang briefly talked about his achievements in the battle against Baiyue.
The new recruits couldn't control their emotions well and started whimpering in grievance.
After the initial surprise, the veterans returned to indifference.
They are not as easy to fool as these new recruits.
Listening to what these people say, it is better to take advantage of this time to eat more pieces of meat and drink more wine.
Who knows when the prince will come next.
Moreover, these people talk in disgusting and lengthy ways, but they are not willing to listen to them.
Zhao Tuo also smiled slightly. He could see that Zhao Lang was trying to win people's hearts.
But this method is too bad.
And even if they could be bribed, they would only be worth less than ten thousand people.
Zhao Lang continued at this time,
"I"
"Within a month, everyone will be rewarded as a reward for opening up and stationing in southern Xinjiang!"
"Within a year, everyone will be able to communicate with their home."
"Within three years, everyone will be able to take turns returning home to visit relatives!"
"You can explain these words to the whole army. I guarantee it in the name of the Crown Prince of Qin! It will definitely come true! I'm done!"
His ultimate goal is for Da Qin's sergeants to be able to afford a wife! Can afford to raise children! Be respectful to the elderly!
Hearing this, all the Qin troops were stunned.
Zhao Lang's reward is actually not that high. They have been stationed in southern Xinjiang for many years!
Three years is not a short time!
But the more this happens, the more it proves that the other party will really keep his promise!
But this time, even the veterans trembled!
Soon, I don’t know who shouted first. Soon, the entire military camp became one.
"Swear to the death to serve the Qin Dynasty! Serve the Crown Prince!"
Zhao Tuo calmly served himself a bowl of wine.
He knew that after this time, the people of Baiyue Land would succumb to the force of Qin.
The Qin army in the land of Baiyue will serve the prince of Qin.
Baiyue is impregnable!
But that's okay, because he actually has no ambition.
But Zhao Lang dug a hole for him this time!
Zhao Tuo quickly said,
"Your Highness, this reward..."
Reward of half a million troops! Who can fill such a big hole?
If Zhao Lang can't give it, he will definitely take the blame!
Zhao Lang ignored him, but said to the slave beside him,
"Ask the messenger to notify the team transporting the property to change direction and send the gold and property from Chudi here."
Zhao Tuo swallowed his words immediately, and Zhao Lang smiled and said,
"General Zhao, if you don't have enough money in the future, just send the letter to Xianyang."
"But we must ensure that all soldiers will receive their rewards within a month."
Zhao Tuo immediately responded.
Zhao Lang smiled and patted Zhao Tuo on the shoulder and said,
"I'm going back to Xianyang early tomorrow morning, so I'll be bothering the general here."
After saying that, he walked to the Qin army and drank with them.
Looking at the scene of laughter in the army, Zhao Tuo saluted and left.
Early the next morning, Zhao Lang left the city without any hesitation. He still had a long way to go.
Zhao Tuo stood on the city wall, looked at Zhao Lang's leaving figure, and said to the deputy general beside him,
"On what day is this the prince's arrival?"
The lieutenant general returned with a complicated expression.
"The third day."
"Three days?"
Zhao Tuo showed a wry smile, and in three days, he broke his long-term management.
He had nothing to say.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came over from beside him.
"General, now that this man has left, we can leave too. These two days of hard work have exhausted us to death!"
Zhao Tuo turned around and saw that it was the leader of Lone Wolf Village. He suddenly said indifferently,
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that you have to serve for one year, that is one year!"
"If you show disrespect again, the punishment will be doubled!"
But the leader stared and said,
"Zhao Tuo! What do you want to do! Don't forget! There is an alliance between us... hmm!"
Before the leader could finish speaking, Zhao Tuo punched him in the stomach.
"If you mention this again, the entire Lone Wolf Village will die!"
"If you want to know the reason, just ask the Elephant Valley Village who was captured just yesterday!"
Hearing this, the leader held back the severe pain in his body and said,
"How can this be!"
How could the Xianggu Village be breached!
They even reported the news in advance!
Zhao Tuo didn't say anything more, he just looked at Zhao Lang's retreating team and muttered to himself,
"Mi'er, it's up to you to be a father."
More than ten days later, Chu Di.
A slightly strange Qin army was slowly marching in the direction of Xianyang.
In the middle of the Qin army, there were many vehicles escorted, and there were many wooden boxes placed on each vehicle, and each wooden box had a name on it.
After many people asked curiously, a trace of sadness appeared on their faces.
Because inside those wooden boxes were soldiers who died in the battle of Great Qin.
At this time, Zhao Lang was at the front of the team.
After more than ten days of traveling, he finally caught up with the team.
The others were behind, and Hu Hai, the licking dog, stayed behind because of Zhao Mier.
That's fine, I hope the two of them can get a result.
When setting up camp at night, Zhao Lang was ready to rest after listening to the reports from Han Xin and others.
Chen Ping stayed, with a slightly complicated look on his face, and took out a letter and said,
"Chief, this is a letter from the Taoist family when you were not in the team."
To be honest, he didn't expect that Zhao Lang was actually related to Taoism!
This luck can no longer be described in words.
Zhao Lang opened the letter, read it carefully, and then handed the letter to Chen Ping.
After the other party also finished reading, he asked,
"What do you think?"
Chen Ping thought about it for a moment and replied,
"Chief, it is indeed a good thing to confer the title of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to the soldiers who died in battle."
"But there are tens of thousands of soldiers brought back now, and some will be shipped back slowly later."
"But where do the soldiers rest?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult to find such a large cemetery. We can only enshrine it first, then choose a good site and then build it."
He had such worries at the beginning, but before he could express them, the other party went to the Land of Baiyue.
Zhao Lang shook his head,
"The soldiers have been wandering for so long, so it would be best for them to be laid to rest as soon as possible."
Chen Ping showed a hint of embarrassment and smiled bitterly,
"But chief, it's too late to rush the work now. Besides, since this matter is to unite people's hearts, it cannot be treated lightly."
Of course he knew why Zhao Lang did this.
But the more so, the less we can neglect it.
Zhao Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and said,
"Actually, there is such a place. It's big enough to rest the soldiers."
"Even the soldiers who followed were able to let it go."
Chen Ping frowned tightly and thought hard for a while, but still didn't think of it and said,
"Chief, how can there be such a place?"
Zhao Lang said calmly,
"Lishan."
boom!
Before Zhao Lang finished speaking, Chen Ping sat down on the ground, his whole body trembling.
Of course he knew about Lishan. At that time, the First Emperor recruited hundreds of thousands of farmers and prisoners to build the Lishan Mausoleum.
Therefore, the scale of Lishan Mausoleum is extremely large! Also extremely gorgeous!
but!
That was the imperial mausoleum prepared by the First Emperor for himself! ! !
Therefore, even though he knew there was such a place, he never dared to think in that direction!
Zhao Lang looked at Chen Ping on the ground, smiled and said,
"It seems that my choice was right."
"This is how this place should be used!"
"Bring me a pen and ink, I want to write a letter to dad."
The more these people can't believe it, the more they prove the necessity of this matter.
No matter how powerful the emperor is, he will die.
No matter how big the palace is, it will decay.
But heroes are immortal!
Soon, a fast horse headed in the direction of Xianyang.
Two days later, Qin Shihuang was handling political affairs in the palace. Zhao Gao walked in with a smile and said,
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has replied."
Qin Shihuang knew it well, and it was probably Zhao Lang's reply to him thanking him.
After all, he promised to give the other party a big ceremony, so while handling political affairs, he said,
"read."
Zhao Gao opened the letter with a smile, and after just one glance, the smile on his face froze instantly!
After another look, he sat down on the ground and said in a trembling voice,
"Your Majesty! I don't dare, this old slave."
