Chapter 1014 The Overall Situation Has Been Decided
Chapter 1014 The overall situation has been decided
It is conceivable that this rebel army's hatred for the Northern Xinjiang Army has been to the bone.
Therefore, even if this Northern Xinjiang army surrenders, I am afraid that the final result will not be good.
Qingu's medicinal powder made the invincible rebels gradually weakened and lost their combat effectiveness, which relieved the difficulties of the Northern Frontier Army.
They intend to dispose of the enemy army when it is weak, so that there will be no future troubles.
However, the emperor's personal guards also brought a secret order to the guard.
It said that except for the enemy generals and diehards who declared to the world to kill them, ordinary surrendered soldiers could not be killed.
Instead, let them send those surrendered soldiers and those with family members back to their hometowns, and those without relatives will disperse on the spot for reclamation. As for the resettlement materials needed, they will be delivered later.
In fact, there are many cases of killing surrendered soldiers after the war. Except for the rare killings, most of them did not kill for the sake of killing, but were forced by the situation.
For example, food, if you don't kill them, what will you give them to eat? And with so many people, once another riot occurs, I am afraid they will counterattack and destroy themselves.
Furthermore, there are also many diehards who pretended to surrender...
This is also the reason why the Northern Xinjiang Army wanted to take the opportunity to kill the rebels before.
However, Qingu's medicinal powder can put an end to this. Without the antidote, their strength will be reduced to that of a boudoir woman, but it will not hinder the reclamation of wasteland. Although the efficiency is a little slower and a little tired, it is better than killing it directly.
Just when the northern border army eliminated the main force of one of the rebels with the help of the medicine powder, another rebel army was advancing triumphantly, occupying hundreds of cities and then arrived at Qi'an Pass.
There are more than 300,000 rebels in this army, and less than 20,000 are stationed at Qi'an Pass. In addition, they have colluded with Zaoren before.
According to their previous correspondence with Zao Ren, Qi Anguan will open the door for them.
It can be said that the knock on the pass was well-thought-out, but when the rebel soldiers approached the pass, it was a different scene.
The majestic city walls stand tall, and the solid city gates are tightly closed.
There is no white flag hanging on the city wall...
The counselor said to the leader of the rebel army: Zihai was killed and Zaoren was arrested. The news from the palace is that this new leader is not easy to deal with. He even killed the eunuch in charge of him on the third day of taking office. Although he has not ordered specific punishments for those who opposed it, it is rumored that many people died violently for no reason. There is a rumor in the capital. , said that those people did too much evil and were condemned by God...
The leader is a middle-aged man who is at least forty or fifty years old, lean, with a grumpy face, and snorted coldly: Humph, wrath? The tyranny of the Jing Dynasty and the fish and meat people, they are the ones who should be punished by God!
Counselor: It seems that there is a change in Qi Anguan, we must wait to find out the truth before making any plans.
In the eyes of the counselors, although the opponent has only tens of thousands of defenders, success is imminent - as long as they enter the pass, enter the imperial city, and sit on the throne of the emperor, they can replace them...
But the more you can't be impatient at this time.
The leader was probably a little dazed by the successive victories during this period of time, and he didn't take seriously the counselor's suggestion: Before Zi Su Xiaoer sent a general and tens of thousands of prisoners to help the northern border, there were less than 20,000 guards here, and even more Emptiness, when not to attack now?
Order to attack Qi'an Pass.
The first charge, the opponent had just entered the range of the bow and arrow, and saw a row of sparse archers on the city wall slowly raising their bows and arrows.
... The rebels just saw the weakness of the defenders, and they didn't pay attention to the one or two hundred people standing on the city wall.
According to the previous attack rhythm, with this defense, they can climb the city wall and break open the city gate with less than 10% casualties at most...
However, they found that the bows and arrows fired by the defenders were tied with small bags one by one, and they either hit their bodies or fell to the ground.
The rebels thought it was a gunpowder bag at first, but they didn't expect that there was nothing wrong with it, but they felt something was wrong as they ran.
By the way, they found that their bodies were getting heavier and heavier and more tired. Seeing that they were only tens of meters away from the city wall, it was difficult to take a step forward. The armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands completely crushed them.
More and more rebels were "tired", and even those who could still act were tired, unable to wield knives and guns, let alone run for a long time.
That's right, it was Qingu's medicinal powder that turned the situation around again.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the rebels planned to retreat. Zhang Chengzhong, who did not go far, led his army back to help, and captured all the rebels in this branch, disarmed them, and returned them to their original places, or sent them to the frontier to reclaim wasteland. .
Thus, in less than a month, a crisis of national annihilation was settled.
It was two months after Qin Gu received the good news from the front.
In the past two months, many major events have occurred in the DPRK and China.
First of all, there are frequent scourges in the capital, and those turbulent currents operating in the dark seem to be contained by an invisible force.
Then Qingu publicly beheaded Zao Ren.
Zao Ren spent the past two months in the dungeon like a year. From being ambitious at the beginning to full of resentment, he expected Qingu to be overthrown by the huge force he cultivated and colluded with. However, he only heard it again and again through his informants. There was news of the sudden death of the people he planted. He knew that all of this must have been done by the new emperor, but the crux of the problem was that no clues were left behind.
And the other party found some scribes and began to spread it everywhere. This is the result of committing chaos, and even God is helping the Jing Dynasty.
In the end, he despaired, and the life in the dungeon became extremely painful and tormented.
Before he died, the sharpness and evil spirit on Zaoren's body had been completely worn away, and he became nervous and cowering, he didn't even dare to lift his head, for fear of seeing the sky.
In this way, the hidden dangers left by the previous emperor were completely eliminated.
One more thing, the transformation of the scribes.
Qingu has traveled through many hours and spaces, knowing that the hardest ones are scribes.
The point is that these people all have certain prestige and influence, and they can not only speak and write, but also spread to farther places.
During the first Jing Dynasty, the emperor tried to win over these scribes, but the result was very unsatisfactory.
After all, the Jing Dynasty had just unified the world at that time, you just took other people's jobs, and then you want them to sing praises to you? Of course it is impossible.
Therefore, some laws and policies implemented by the Jing Dynasty encountered great obstacles. After more than ten years of subtle running-in, the situation is slightly better now.
But the scribes were still full of strong resistance to the Jing Dynasty.
Mastering the text is equivalent to mastering the direction of public opinion in this time and space. They can spit out lotus flowers and poisonous mist.
