Chapter 496 This Is Ying Chengyu’s Gift to Da Qin! May the King Be Delighted!
"Woooooo~~~"
The trumpet was blown first, setting the melody of the music.
The chime follows closely and determines the level of Kaile.
At the same time, the east city gate opened.
Flat cars drove out of Xianyang City and lined up on both sides of the city gate.
The musicians sit on a flat car, playing high-pitched music, playing harp and piano, and playing a magnificent and high-spirited movement.
The singing girl stood on the flat car and chanted congratulatory messages for the peace and prosperity of the country and the people.
The dancing girl jumped on the flat carriage and showed her soft and beautiful dance posture in front of the monarch and his ministers.
But no one pays attention to them.
Ying Zheng and all the courtiers and generals cast their sights into the distance.
There, 50,000 elite Qin troops wearing bronze helmets and armor formed a square formation in units of a thousand people and slowly advanced towards Xianyang City.
The armor of every Qin army officer was scrubbed clean, with no trace of blood or flesh visible. It reflected a brilliant golden luster under the sunlight, spreading out one after another like golden scales, shining brightly!
One hundred and seventy thousand Qin soldiers wearing leather armor, stone armor or no armor also lined up in a square formation of a thousand men, behind the elite Qin army.
Further away, 80,000 "Xin Qin people" wearing various armors formed a formation of spears and shields, surrounding them.
Upstairs at the city gate, Wei Liao was slightly startled, then burst into laughter: "Chang'an Lord is really..."
"This time I borrowed troops to attack Zhao. Not only did Chang'an Lord not lose any troops, he actually gained more than 80,000 troops!"
"I'm afraid only Chang'an Jun can do such a thing!"
First, more than 200,000 Chu knights and bandits defected to Qin, bringing with them more than a million of their families and relatives.
Now, more than 80,000 Qi troops have defected to Qin!
When other generals go out to fight, they are depleting the population.
Only Ying Chengyu fights more and more when he goes out to fight!
What's outrageous is that these soldiers are really willing to follow Ying Chengyu!
Although Ying Chengyu's move was very shameless, this shameless move greatly benefited Qin.
Even Wei Liao, who supports fighting for justice, wants to give Ying Chengyu a thumbs up.
Well done!
Li Si smiled and held up his hands: "Chang'an Jun said that he has a gift that he wants to give to the king."
"Now it seems that it is these more than 80,000 Qi troops."
"Although it is a weak Qi army, as long as they train for two years and are encouraged by military merit, these more than 80,000 Qi troops will be able to transform into tigers and wolves in our Qin Dynasty, greatly alleviating the lack of young men in our Qin Dynasty."
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "The alliance between Qin and Qi is very close, but the Lord of Chang'an borrowed troops and refused to return them, which makes me deeply ashamed of the King of Qi!"
"When Lord Chang'an enters the city, I will reprimand him again and again. We will never do such a ridiculous thing again!"
"I also ask Yao Shangqing to visit Qi State, apologize to the King of Qi on behalf of Lord Chang'an, and bring the family members of the more than 80,000 Qi soldiers to Da Qin, so that they will not suffer the pain of separation from their relatives!"
Ying Zheng seemed to be complaining about Ying Chengyun, but he smiled and helped Ying Chengyuan clean up his mess.
Although this will cause Qi to lose hundreds of thousands of people at once.
However, Qin had already ceded the territory from Huaiyin to Qi, and Qin was just asking for more people. What could Qi do?
Not convinced?
Hold it in!
Xiong Qi and other generals and court officials also smiled and handed over their hands:
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Outside Xianyang City, the triumphant army gradually approached Xianyang City.
At noon (11:00), the elite Qin army, who looked like golden saints under the summer light, finally arrived 200 feet outside Xianyang City.
Ying Chengyu rode on a white horse and stood in the middle of the elite Qin army. He shouted in a deep voice: "Kai!"
Behind Ying Chengyu, eight strong men standing on the chariot took off their shirts, revealing their strong biceps, and held heavy hammers to attack the main Fengu.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Following these eight warriors, all the drummers in the army took off their shirts, and all the war drums in the army were beaten!
"Boom!! Boom! Boom!!"
The murderous war drums brutally broke into the joyful song played by silk and bamboo chimes.
Taiyue's official immediately fine-tuned the music and played it attached to the war drum.
After the three drums are played, the silk and bamboo chimes have been perfectly integrated with the war drums, and the desolate horns are blown.
Three hundred thousand victorious soldiers followed the rhythm of the war drums, struck the shield with their swords, or smashed the ground with their spears, shouting together:
"Boom!!!"
"wind!"
“Dong dong!!!”
"wind!"
"Boom!!!"
"Gale!"
The sound of flapping weapons coincided perfectly with the sound of war drums.
The sound of "wind" produced by the dull back nasal sound filled Kaile with murderous intent.
The sound of silk and bamboo attached to the war drums and shouts of death made the world understand that only with strong soldiers and strong horses and brave soldiers can the Chinese people be qualified to enjoy peace and joy!
Suddenly, the large scroll tilted forward at a 45° angle.
The sound of war drums, horns, and the sounds of silk and bamboo all ceased. The singers bowed their heads and the dancers bowed their bodies.
Only three hundred thousand soldiers shouted in unison:
"Great Qin! Wan Sheng!"
On the city gate tower, Ying Zheng looked down at the victorious army, his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists, trembling slightly.
Such a powerful army can be the enemy of the world!
With such a sharp journey, why worry about failing to accomplish great things!
Wei Liao, Wang Ben and other generals and court officials also raised their hands and shouted:
"Great Qin! Wan Sheng!"
The ceremony of Zhenlu and Kaile has been completed.
According to the procedure, Ying Chenghe should ride out and return Wang Ling as the coach.
In fact, Ying Zheng was also looking expectantly at the figure riding a white horse outside the city.
But to Ying Zheng's surprise, Ying Chengyu did not ride his horse forward, but raised his right hand.
The great banner returned to its position, and the war drums of various ministries were beaten again.
"Dong dong dong~~~dong!"
As the last timpani played, the 130,000 Qin troops shouted in unison: "In the second month of spring, no one dares to cut down timber in the mountains and forests and Yongdi water (to block waterways). In the second month of spring, no one dares to cut grass into ashes (to burn grass for fertilizer). )..."
"For each hectare of farmland, three stones of Cuo (grass for feeding livestock) and grain stems (stems of cereal plants) will be paid for every hectare of farmland. , Yi Ershi..."
"People who live in farmhouses (rural areas) do not dare to drink (buy or sell) wine. The husbands and ministers of the field are careful to prohibit it..."
Xiong Qiwei was startled: "Why is Lord Chang'an ordering the soldiers to recite the "Law of the Fields"?"
When the soldiers recited the first sentence of the "Tian Law", the monarchs and ministers of Qin Dynasty looked puzzled.
They seriously doubted whether Ying Chengyu was mentally stimulated because the expedition lasted too long.
Otherwise, why would you let your soldiers go to Xianyang City to memorize the "Tian Law"?
But when the second, third, and even the entire "Tian Law" were recited smoothly by the 130,000-strong army, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin Dynasty could no longer stand.
Li Si's mouth was dry and he murmured to himself: "Still memorizing it?"
"Are they literate? Are they reading from the bamboo slips?"
"If they are not only literate, but can also recite the "Qin Code" in full, then..."
The formation formed by Ying Chengyu was very simple, so Li Si and other courtiers could see clearly at a glance how many soldiers were reciting the "Law of Qin" under the city.
A full 130,000!
If these people were still literate, they would be a total of 130,000 nobles who could be regarded as grassroots officials!
Their title allowed them to become officials without recommendation, their ability made them qualified to be officials, and their experience of fighting to the death for Qin allowed them to gain the natural trust of Ying Zheng.
This group of people will greatly make up for the gap in the grassroots officials of Da Qin, and a large number of people who can be used for great purposes will surely emerge and ascend to high positions, and will have a serious impact on the existing court structure!
When the "Laws of Military Nobility", "Laws of Appointment of Officials", "Laws of Removal of Officials", and "Golden Rules" were recited one after another by the 130,000-strong army, even though the sun at noon in summer was extremely fierce, the monarchs and ministers of Qin Dynasty had no choice. One person tried to go back to the city gate to shade from the sun, but instead they all stood by the city wall battlements, looking at the army in the distance as clearly as possible!
It was not until after noon (15:00) that the army finished reciting the "Laws of Guanshi", and the soldiers finally licked their dry lips and looked at the city head with expectation.
Wei Zhuang was so excited that his whole body was shaking: "Why don't you continue to recite?"
“Why don’t you memorize the Qin Code?!”
Li Siwen said in a gentle voice: "Prime Minister Zuo, if you continue to recite, I may delay the time."
"As an official, you not only need to recite the "Qin Code", but also need to understand and understand the "Qin Code" and the ideas contained in it."
"Whether they have the qualifications to serve as officials still needs to be verified!"
Wei Zhuang doesn't care about that much.
Having been troubled by the shortage of officials for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly turned around and looked at Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty!"
"If these 130,000 soldiers can be sent to serve as officials in various places, our great Qin's difficulties will be solved immediately!"
"The gift Chang'an Jun wants to give to the king is not the more than 80,000 Qi troops at all."
"These 130,000 soldiers, who can be regarded as grassroots officials, are the most important gift that Lord Chang'an has given to the Qin Dynasty!"
All the courtiers faced Ying Zheng and excitedly raised their hands and shouted:
"Congratulations to your Majesty!"
"I congratulate Great Qin!"
Ying Zheng looked out of the city in a daze.
The Qin Dynasty was short of young men, so Ying Chengyu went all over Chu and Qi to fish out hundreds of thousands of young men.
The Qin Dynasty was short of food and grass, so Ying Chengyu was deceived and 'borrowed' a large amount of food and grass from Qi.
The Qin Dynasty was short of officials, so Ying Chengyu personally trained a large number of grassroots officials.
Although Ying Chengyu thinks about making trouble and fishing every day, he leaves all his work to Ying Zheng.
But Ying Chengyu was always worried about what Qin was anxious about and what Ying Zheng was lacking.
If you have such a good brother, what more can you ask for?
When the city was noisy, Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian drove their horses side by side to the city gate, turned over and dismounted ten feet outside the city gate.
Wang Jian shouted solemnly:
"On February 5, the eleventh year, General Jian of the Qin Dynasty accepted the king's order and marched south to Chencheng to reject the Chu army."
"In the end of this battle, the general will hold on to the territory of our Great Qin without losing it, seize Shouchun City and six other cities, join forces with Chang'an Jun Gongzi Chengxi, and conquer the Chu territory thousands of miles away, and seize Helu City and other one hundred and fifty-one cities."
"We got 146,892 enemy heads, and gained 51,008 levels."
"Today, June 9th of the twelfth year, all orders are returned."
"I hope the king will be happy!"
Following Wang Jian, Ying Chengyu also raised his hands and shouted loudly:
"On September 16, the 11th year of the Qin Dynasty, Chang'an Lord and Commander-in-Chief Cheng Xi accepted the king's order and went south to Jianghan to reject the Chu army."
"In this battle, at the end of the battle, the general will hold on to our territory of the Qin Dynasty without losing it. He will conquer the territory of Chu for 800 miles and capture eight cities including E City. He will join forces with General Jian to conquer the territory of Chu for thousands of miles and seize 151 cities including Helu City. , and borrowed 100,000 troops from Qi, went north to seize Neihuang City and three other cities, and stretched out the Zhao border for a hundred miles."
"We captured 272,191 enemy heads, gained 139,721 troops, and captured 49,720 enemy soldiers."
"The formation killed Qu He, the Grand Prime Minister of Chu, and other twenty-four people who held Gui Gui or above, killed Zhao General Fu Da, captured Chu Huan Yin, Xiong Chang, and seven other people who held Gui Gui or above, and captured Zhao General Yan Ju."
"And captured the King of Chu to bear the cud."
"Today, June 9th of the twelfth year, all orders are returned."
Ying Chengyu raised his eyes to meet Ying Zheng who was standing on the city gate tower, smiled and shouted:
"I hope the king will be happy!"
