Chapter 148 Good News for Zhao Feng! The Generals Are Excited!
In Zhangtai Palace, the back hall!
Ying Zheng holds the royal seal in his hand, but it is not the royal seal of Qin, but the royal seal of Zhao.
He walked slowly towards the back hall.
There are six boxes on a table, each with a word written on it.
Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han.
I saw Ying Zheng opening the box with the word "Zhao" written on it.
He put the royal seal in his hand and closed the lid.
At this moment, an excited smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face, and he took down all the Zhao national flags on the sand table map: "There are four left."
"The ancestors and kings of the Great Qin Dynasty."
"Everything is fast."
"The world is united and China is united."
——
On behalf of the land, on behalf of the city!
There were patrolling Qin troops everywhere in the city.
"If you find traces of Zhao soldiers, capture them quickly."
"Escapers and resisters will be killed on the spot."
"Anyone who takes Zhao Bing into hiding will be thrown into prison."
During the inspection, many Qin troops were busy.
As the capital of the Dai Kingdom, this city was naturally very large. After this battle, Great Qin gained a lot and captured a lot. Of course, some of them escaped and escaped.
After the capture!
The soldiers of the Qin army have blocked the whole city and searched Zhao soldiers and Zhao ministers from house to house.
Once discovered, they will be captured immediately.
This is not only the case in Dai City, but also everywhere in Dai City.
At this moment, the imperial court has not sent any officials to guard the place, and everything is handled according to the military regulations.
In the words of later generations, all the captured Zhao lands are now controlled by the army, and the army is naturally an iron law. Although there is no large-scale massacre of the city, there is still a lot of killing.
The Zhao Kingdom had just been destroyed, but not all Zhao people were willing to surrender.
Thinking of the later Qin Dynasty, when the remnants of the Six Kingdoms easily gathered troops, we can imagine that there were many people from the Six Kingdoms who were dissatisfied with the Qin Dynasty. On the one hand, Qin's laws were strict, and on the other hand, they were enemies of the country and the family.
It will take time for these to subside.
Not five years, ten years!
Not ten years, twenty years!
A sufficiently smooth transition time is required.
As long as the people can live, they will definitely not rebel. No matter what era, the common people want the least. As long as they can live in peace and the family can be in peace, this is what they want.
only.
If according to historical development, Qin Shihuang died and the successor was Hu Hai, then giving peace to the people of the world would become a joke.
Qin II!
What a waste!
In the military camp!
Zhao Feng sat in the camp dealing with official military documents.
As the battle is decided.
Various pension lists and return to place lists require Zhao Feng to come and review them in person, and then report them to the Central Army Sima Integration.
At the same time, there are also rewards for military achievements and above, which he needs to record in person.
There are naturally many of these things.
So after conquering Dai City, Zhao Feng stayed in Dai Town to defend it. Zhao Feng did not participate in the remaining attack on Dai City. After all, Zhao Feng didn't care about these small achievements at all and left them to Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben. .
"The army of 100,000, including those who have recovered from their injuries and returned to camp, now only has less than 60,000 left."
"In the battle to destroy Zhao, forty thousand people were lost."
"War!"
Through the high pile of records on the table, Zhao Feng also had a clearer understanding of the battle losses of his troops.
This battle.
More than 38,000 warriors were killed in the battle, and more than 4,000 were disabled and retired.
In the Great Qin Army, those who can reach the point of being disabled and retired must have their hands and feet broken, and this person will be equivalent to a cripple in the future.
Except Ruis.
More than thirty people died in the battle.
Seven captains died in the battle, and two generals died in the battle.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Feng's army had twice the combat power, it would have been pretty good if the army of 100,000 could save 20,000.
"My lord."
"Generals, please see me."
Zhang Ming's voice came from outside.
"Come in." Zhao Feng said.
echoed.
The curtain opens.
Tu Sui, Zhang Han and other generals came to the camp.
"See you, general." All the generals bowed and saluted.
"Everyone, take a seat." Zhao Feng smiled slightly.
"Thank you, General." The generals thanked them and then took their seats with their official rank.
Zhang Han and Tu Sui sat at the top of the seats on the left and right sides respectively, and the other generals followed their respective lieutenants.
"How is the situation in the city?" Zhao Feng looked at Tu Sui and asked.
This time, it was left to Tu Sui to clean up and apprehend the Zhao soldiers and the remnants of the Zhao court in the city.
"Many people have been arrested, and all the jails in the city are full."
"A rough estimate is that there are six to seven thousand people."
"Except for those remnants of the Zhao court, Zhao Bing."
"There are still many civilians who are hiding those Zhao soldiers, hiding those Zhao ministers, and even fighting against our elite soldiers."
"The people in this city are very hostile to me, Great Qin." Tu Sui reported.
"How can they not be hostile to the country's subjugation?"
"It's not just this generation city, it's the same for the entire Zhao Kingdom." Zhao Feng smiled lightly and didn't find it strange.
Public resentment!
Revenge for the destruction of the motherland!
This cannot be dispelled overnight.
This requires long-term implementation of national policies that benefit the people.
certainly.
Today's Qin State really doesn't pay much attention to it. Even the Koreans in Yingchuan County are now bound by the law and frightened by the army.
But it's a little better than their home country, that is, the taxation is completely based on what Great Qin collects.
Look at the world.
The lowest tax rate was only in the Qin Dynasty, which was 60% of the total tax rate.
The former Han State was already 80% of the total tax rate.
The Zhao State was 90% of the total tax rate.
If the tax rate is reduced, many people will feel much more at ease.
As for making them completely return to their hearts, it will take time, enough time, at least more than ten years.
"Yes."
"Those Zhao people are very hostile to us."
"This is not a solution." Zhang Han said in a deep voice.
"We military generals are responsible for expanding the territory and destroying the enemy. As for these governance matters, they have nothing to do with us, so you don't need to think too much about them."
"Now that the Zhao State has perished, I believe the court will soon send civil officials to govern." Zhao Feng said to Zhang Han.
Eat the salary of the king, worry about the king.
Zhao Feng is not a civil official, and neither are the generals under his command. He will not consider any governance matters.
In his opinion, the current national policy of the Qin State, and even the laws, have too many flaws.
A strict law, using the law to oppress people, not to mention the people of the destroyed country, even the Qin people are the same. If he is allowed to come, the Qin law must be changed.
There is also the military merit system.
Nowadays, there are wars and enemy countries. The existence of the military merit system is the foundation of the Qin Dynasty's prosperity.
But if Shenzhou is unified and China is united, the military merit system will become a disadvantage.
In general.
After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the distribution of interests must be finalized. If the class does not change, the Qin Dynasty will become like the fallen countries in the past.
The military merit system also needs to be changed in the future.
And there is also the appointment and removal of officials.
Why did the Qin Dynasty perish?
In addition to the misbehavior of Qin II Hu Hai, the most critical point is that after the unification of Qin, there was a serious shortage of local officials.
In this era, not everyone can read. Almost only the gentry have the opportunity to read and write. When Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, I don’t know how many officials of the six kingdoms died, how many gentry of the six kingdoms died, and there were many who hated Qin. This is one of the reasons for the shortage of officials, and the fundamental education.
Of course.
All this has nothing to do with Zhao Feng.
After all, what Zhao Feng thought about, when it comes to the end of Qin, when he really starts his kingship, Zhao Feng will naturally find a way to solve it.
With Yan Ting, Zhao Feng will slowly cultivate his own talents.
"General, what you said is very true."
The generals also nodded.
They really worry too much, and governance is indeed none of their business.
Now the territory of Zhao is still under military control. Once the ministers sent by the court come, they can get rid of it completely.
"Of course."
"Although governance has nothing to do with us, there can be no mistakes before handing over control."
"Once anyone dares to violate military regulations and disobeys advice, he will be killed." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"I understand." The generals replied in unison.
"General."
"Now it is said that the general is going to be promoted to general, and it is said from the general's camp. This is probably true." Tu Sui said excitedly.
Hearing this.
The eyes of the generals were also excited.
There is no doubt that all the people present are generals who are fanatical about Zhao Feng, and each of them is a general who will fight Zhao Feng to the end.
If other main generals are promoted, they will not accept it, but they will accept it if their general is promoted.
Looking at the Lantian camp and the entire Qin, which general's combat function can compare with their general?
"This matter has not been decided until the last moment."
"So you don't have to think too much for the time being." Zhao Feng smiled lightly.
"General."
"If you are promoted, then we will have a chance to go further." Tu Sui smiled without disguising.
"You are not hiding it." Zhao Feng laughed and scolded unhappily.
"Hehe." Tu Sui smiled.
With their military exploits in destroying Zhao this time, it is indeed enough for them to make further progress.
However, the premise of all this is that their generals make further progress first, so that they can have their positions as the main generals.
"Okay."
"I'll tell you the truth."
"That day in Handan, I had a private talk with the king."
"The king said that after I return to Xianyang, he will give me a surprise."
"What is this surprise?"
"You should be able to imagine it, right?"
Seeing his generals looking forward to it, Zhao Feng did not hide it.
Hearing this!
All the generals were happy and clasped their fists and said, "Congratulations, general."
"I have already counted your military exploits."
"After this battle to destroy Zhao, each of you present can be promoted to at least two titles. As for the promotion of official positions, it will be determined after I return to Xianyang." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"I heard the general say that the king has a surprise, so I am not in a hurry." Tu Sui smiled.
"That's right."
"We'll know everything when we go to Xianyang." Zhang Han also said repeatedly.
"How many of Zhao's war horses have been saved?" Zhao Feng looked at Zhang Han and asked.
"Reply, General."
"During the battle of Handan, General Wang Ben saved more than 10,000 war horses. After entering Daidi, it was the real place where Zhao's cavalry was stationed. Now, after collecting them, our army has obtained more than 50,000 war horses, and Zhao's horse farm has also fallen into our control." Zhang Han replied immediately.
"Okay, okay."
"More than 50,000 war horses, that's more than 50,000 cavalry."
"You must make people look at these war horses carefully. If the Japanese general really becomes a general, these war horses will be the basis for my formation of cavalry."
"Not one of these war horses should be missing." Zhao Feng said to Zhang Han with a serious face.
"Of the three major camps of our Great Qin, only the Northern Territory has 80,000 cavalry. This is also the strongest cavalry of our Great Qin."
"As for Lantian, the entire army has less than 10,000 cavalry."
"These more than 50,000 war horses are more than 50,000 cavalry. If the general really commands a large battalion, wouldn't our battalion's combat power be even stronger?" Tu Sui said with excitement.
cavalry!
The well-deserved top combat power of this era, it is simply a crushing battle for infantry in the plains.
Once they get close to the infantry, it will be a massacre.
But in this era, war horses were very rare, and the countries that were most capable of producing horses were Zhao and Qi.
Now that Zhao State has been annexed by Da Qin, their horse farms are all owned by Da Qin.
"Please rest assured, General."
"These war horses will be guarded by ten thousand warriors. There will definitely be no accidents." Zhang Han immediately assured.
"Now that the war has been decided, those who are injured should recover well, and those who are not injured should receive good news."
"In a few days, I will lift your ban on alcohol and let you drink as much as you like." Zhao Feng smiled at the generals.
"We will wait for the day when Prohibition is lifted."
"Last time I was knocked down by the general, but this time I will not admit defeat." Zhang Han said with a smile.
"The same goes for the general."
"We must drink the general down." All the generals said one after another, full of smiles.
At this time!
"Report."
"The general sent the message to the Lord to come forward and see him."
A guard came quickly to report.
"It seems that there is some mission. You all should go and do it first." Zhao Feng waved his hand to signal the generals to leave, and then he stood up.
"The general will retire." All the generals retreated one after another.
Zhao Feng, on the other hand, strode out of the camp and headed towards Dai City.
"Everyone."
"It seems that this time the general's promotion is certain."
"At this critical moment, we must not smear the general." Tu Sui looked at the generals with a serious face and said.
"That's right."
"We must not smear the general."
"Military regulations are strict. You all have to restrain your subordinates."
"Don't do anything to burn, kill or loot. If you do, the generals and soldiers will be equally guilty." Zhang Han also immediately added.
There are so many people in the army.
Naturally, not everyone is a pure-hearted person, and some do some outrageous things after breaking the city.
Even if Wang Jian restrains him, Zhao Feng cannot restrain him.
It is also forbidden to kill after breaking the city.
But there are also people who rob property.
Even if Zhao Feng controls the entire army under his command, it is impossible to completely control everyone's behavior.
"You will finally understand."
"The generals must be well restrained. Once someone violates military regulations, they will be severely punished." The generals immediately replied.
Go to the general's camp!
"General."
Zhao Feng strode over and bowed.
"sit."
Wang Jian smiled slightly.
"General Wang and General Yang are not here today?" Zhao Feng glanced at them and said slightly surprised.
"They are still sending troops everywhere in Daidi, but they haven't returned yet." Wang Jian said with a smile.
"It seems that the general has some official duties to be handed over to the junior general." Zhao Feng asked directly.
In this military camp, Zhao Feng did not call him father-in-law in a personal relationship, but as a superior or subordinate.
"This is the king's edict, take a look."
Wang Jian smiled, picked up a royal edict from the table and handed it to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng was not polite and took it directly. When he saw it, it was immediately clear.
"Select the best and remove the dross."
"This is indeed desirable."
"After all, 400,000 Zhao soldiers were captured this time to destroy Zhao, which is much more than in the previous battle of Changping."
"If they are all reorganized, I am afraid that Da Qin's national strength will not be able to support it." Zhao Feng nodded and said.
To raise a soldier, in addition to the salary, there is also food.
Although the prisoner army does not need to be paid a salary, they still need to have food for the day, and it is the same as the soldiers eat.
But slaves were different. They were considered good if they could only eat one meal a day, and they had to work non-stop every day. Countless slaves died from exhaustion.
For slaves, it is basically enough to guarantee them, or even no guarantee.
If you die, you will die.
"I'll leave this matter to you."
"Now the soldiers are sent to Daicheng in five places: Handan, Wu'an, Lincheng, and Xucheng."
"This is the handwriting I have prepared. You can send someone to screen it when the time comes."
"There is only one request from the imperial court, which is to select and reorganize conscripts at the same level as new recruits and elite soldiers." Wang Jian said in a deep voice, and instantly picked up a handwritten letter.
"The lives of nearly 400,000 surrendered soldiers are in my hands?" Zhao Feng smiled slightly.
"Indeed it is in your hands."
"The power of life and death." Wang Jian nodded and smiled.
"wrong."
Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something.
"What's wrong?" Wang Jian asked with a strange expression.
"The king promised me when he left Handan that he would allow me to rest after Zhao was destroyed. Why didn't he fulfill his promise?" Zhao Feng asked with some resentment.
"You can take a rest after you sort out these soldiers." Wang Jian smiled.
"Really?" Zhao Feng looked happy.
"And this time, as long as you complete the screening, you will be able to rest for at least two months."
"It's time to get married to Yan'er." Wang Jian smiled.
"Don't worry, General."
"I will take this matter seriously." Zhao Feng nodded immediately.
Screening and reduction.
This is exactly what Zhao Feng wants.
It happened that he selected a group of elites who were good at recruiting and fighting among these soldiers for his own use, which made Yan Ting's training and recruitment even stronger.
This is a good thing.
"Okay, let's go."
"I have mobilized 10,000 troops to guard Dai City. You can lead your troops and leave." Wang Jian nodded.
"General."
"I have something to ask for at the end." Zhao Feng looked at Wang Jian with a smile on his face.
"If you fart, let it go." Wang Jian seemed to sense what Zhao Feng was about to say.
"After we conquered Daichi, I also took those war horses away."
"It just saves some time." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"You want to eat all the more than 50,000 war horses?" Wang Jian said in surprise.
"With only over 50,000 war horses, didn't you always say that I am a general? The new camp will definitely need a cavalry force." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
When Wang Jian heard this, he immediately became furious: "Get out!"
"Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe have been watching these war horses for a long time."
"Almost all of my Great Qin's war horses are in the northern Xinjiang camp. Now that I have finally obtained so many, you still want to eat them all in one bite. You kid really dares to speak."
Zhao Feng was not afraid and still said with a smile: "That father-in-law, I am not discussing this with you. If you don't give it to me, then I will go back to Xianyang to discuss it with the king."
"You kid are still threatening me?" Wang Jian glared.
"Lantian Camp is the main force for fighting, so father-in-law, you must not think too much."
"This batch of war horses will definitely not be given to you."
"That, I'll take it away tomorrow."
"goodbye."
Zhao Feng stopped arguing with Wang Jian and immediately turned around and left.
"You brat..."
Wang Jian glared and looked at Zhao Feng helplessly.
After Zhao Feng left completely.
Wang Jian was so angry that he laughed: "This kid is really serious. Originally, these war horses were reserved for you. Your Majesty has already told me that this time I will let you owe me just once."
Returned to his military camp.
"Zhang Ming."
"Send the general's order."
"Let the generals pack their bags, take all their horses, and set off for Handan tomorrow."
"As for Dai City, let Liu Wang and Zhuang Wei lead their men to stay." Zhao Feng ordered immediately after returning to the camp.
"My lord."
"Where are you going to pack your bags?" Zhang Ming asked curiously.
"The general has issued a military order and asked me to select and reorganize the soldiers into an army."
"Not only in Daicheng, but also in the four places of Handan, all Zhao's surrendered soldiers will be selected by our army." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"My subordinate understands." Zhang Ming respectfully accepted the order and then withdrew.
After Zhao Feng took his seat.
A look of anticipation appeared on his face: "Mom, little sister, it's been almost four years, and I'm finally going back to find you."
"And Wang Yan."
"You gave me a pair of children, and I will never let you down."
——
Time flies!
Yingchuan County, Yan Ting stronghold in Weicheng!
Many boys and girls dressed in black were attacking each other with wooden swords, and each move was focused on vital points.
The number reached four to five hundred.
"Yanting Anshi."
"If you make a move, you will see life and death."
"All killing moves cost one's life."
"remember."
"You can survive in these troubled times, all because of the Lord's grace."
"Your lives are given by the Lord."
"After you entered the Hades, your family members were favored by the Lord, and they were comforted."
"You must give everything to the Lord."
A man wearing a Yan Ting mask was pacing and shouting at all those who were practicing fighting.
"Swear allegiance to the Lord to the death."
"Swear loyalty to the Lord to the death..."
Hundreds of boys and girls fought and shouted at the same time.
"The Lord has said so."
"You sweat more in normal times and bleed less in battle."
"What you are learning here is how to save your life."
"A little slack will be the root cause of your death."
"Every month, if you cannot complete the training tasks, you will be eliminated directly."
"I, Yan Ting, do not raise waste." The masked man shouted again.
This sound revealed murderous intent.
disuse!
Same as death!
This is known to everyone in Yan Ting.
This is apparently common for an elite dark warrior organization.
But this time.
Under such training.
Two people who did not belong to Yan Ting were watching not far away.
They were all wearing ordinary commoners and looked out of place with Yan Ting, but looking at their familiar looks, it was obvious that they were already familiar with this place.
…
