After Qin Wangzheng's car drove ten miles long, a grand surrender parade ceremony was held in the western suburbs of Huaiyang.
"Fengchang", who was in charge of the rituals of the ancestral temple, also accompanied the king eastward this time. He had prepared a complete set of rituals and music early. Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers surrounded both sides. With the sound of swords hitting shields, the music officials began to ring bells and bells.
Fou, play the vigorous "Yin Wu"...
"Fat Yin Wu, fight against Jingchu. Go deep into the enemy's blockade, and embark on a journey to defeat Jingchu!"
"The daughter of Wei, Jingchu, lives in the southern part of the country. In the past, there was Chengtang: Since the Di and Qiang came from there, no one dared not to come and enjoy it, and no one dared not to come to the king. It is said that Shang is the norm!"
Heifu didn't quite understand the tune Gubu. Li You told him that it was the last chapter of "Song of Shang". The poem describes Wu Ding's achievements in conquering Jingchu and making the princes from all over the country surrender. At that time, the people of Chu
As a remnant of the Xia Dynasty prince Kunwu State, he ran to Jingshan Mountain to continue his stubborn resistance.
In terms of blood, Qin regarded itself as the successor of the Yin and Shang dynasties. The surnames Zi and Ying both had the destiny of the black bird. According to the legend of the birth of their ancestors, Fei Lian, the distant ancestor of the Qin royal family, had been the charioteer of the Yin and Shang emperors for a long time.
Therefore, people with the Ying surname were more prominent, and even became princes, truly "helping Zhou to do harm". It was not until King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty that he fell into poverty and was driven to the west to raise horses.
After the Shang ode was sung, Xiaoyali's "Cai Qi" (qi) followed.
"You are stupid and barbaric, and the big country is the enemy of you. Uncle Fang, the elder, conquers and strengthens the enemy. Uncle Fang leads the way, and is sentenced to death. The army's chariots roar, the roar of the army is like thunder!
"
This poem describes how during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, he ordered Uncle Fang, a minister, to carry out military campaigns to intimidate Jingchu barbarians. Although it looked impressive, in fact, the entire Western Zhou Dynasty failed to subdue Jingchu, and King Zhao of Zhou drowned.
On the shore of Jianghan, Xiong Qu also shouted the slogan "I am a barbarian, and I will not accept the posthumous title of China" and proclaimed his son king, expressing that he did not care about the king's title and did not accept the title of Zhou Dynasty!
The Qin State is the successor of Shang in terms of blood and marriage, and it is the successor of Zong Zhou in terms of geography and culture. The Qin State originated from Zong Zhou's homeland that was destroyed by the dog soldiers, and absorbed a large number of Zhou people. Hundreds of years later,
Later, in terms of utensils, writing, and language, they were actually more similar to the Zhou Dynasty than the Six Kingdoms of Guandong. The princes regarded Qin as Rongdi, and they also disliked the Chu dialect as "bird language" like Mencius. These are typical regional infamy. Who would believe it?
Who is stupid.
It is said that recently, an old case from Xianyang two hundred years ago has been uncovered again. It is said that during the reign of Duke Xiang of Qin, Zhou Taishi Dan came to Qin to present gifts and predicted: "The beginning of Qin and Zhou will unite and separate, and they will reunite at the age of five hundred.
After seventeen years, the overlord will emerge..."
In the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty was just a mere "Western Frontier Officer". As a vassal of the King of Zhou, he had no independent status. From the time when Duke Qin Qin of Qin was granted the title of vassal for his meritorious service, it took exactly five hundred years until King Zhao of Qin conquered the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties and moved to Jiuding.
The next seventeen years were the years of Qin Wangzheng and Guan Qinzheng, and Qin indeed dominated the world.
Therefore, the meaning of this ceremony is self-evident: Yin Shang and Zong Zhou failed to destroy Jing Chu throughout their lives, but as the successor of Yin Zhou, Qin did what the previous generations had not accomplished!
Eight hundred years after the fall of the State of Chu, the war between the two civilization centers in the Central Plains and the South, which lasted for more than a thousand years, also came to an end.
Who did all this?
Of course it is Qin Wangzheng.
The surrender ceremony reached its climax when thousands of Chu prisoners came to the altar in dejection, and the King of Chu carried the cud naked and led the sheep, and paid homage to the almighty King of Qin.
As Chu Fu lowered his hands to the ground and lowered his head to the ground, tremblingly asking the King of Qin to forgive his sins, the soldiers surrounding the altar also loudly sang the lines given by Feng Chang.
"When Qin was established, Wei was established in the past, and he was crowned king in the following generations.
Crush against rebellion, move the four extremes, and be upright with military righteousness.
The Rong ministers followed the imperial edict, and soon after, Jingchu fell!"
Amidst the sound of drums, the grand surrender ceremony came to an end. At this time, Heifu discovered that there were three trembling guys under the altar. Heifu saw that they were dressed in costumes, but they were not the entourage of King Qin. They were placed there
Watching the surrender ceremony from close by, the more the Qin people roared, the paler their faces became...
"Captain, who is that?" Heifu asked Li You secretly.
Li You took one look and said to him: "It should be the envoy of Qi, the Prime Minister of Dai and the Prime Minister of Yan."
Hei Fu understands that the King of Qin has staged such a big battle today not only to announce that Qin will succeed the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, to finally destroy Jingchu and make the people of Huaiyang and Chu give up, but also to frighten the Three Kingdoms who have not surrendered yet.
According to Heifu's knowledge, a few years ago, Wang Jian captured Handan and captured King Qian of Zhao. Prince Jia of Zhao took hundreds of people to the northernmost county of Dai and proclaimed himself king, but he did not dare to call himself Zhao.
It was called Daiguo.
Similarly, after the capital was captured by Wang Jian, the Yan State was happy to leave Liaodong and offered the head of Prince Dan in order to survive. Today, the capital of Yan Dynasty only has one county, with a total population of less than 100,000 and less than 10,000 soldiers.
, posing no threat to Qin at all.
Qi State, on the other hand, still has some strength. In the past forty years, the King of Qi has strictly adhered to isolationism. Qi Prime Minister Hou Sheng accepted the bribes sent by Li Si and Wei Liao, so he allowed Qi State to huddle on the edge of the East China Sea and watch helplessly.
Watching Qin wipe out the three Jin, Yan, and Chu, not only did it not help the five countries, but they also sent people to Qin to pay tribute every year.
The Chu State was once the last hope for the restoration of the three Jin, Yan, and Zhao kingdoms. Now Chu has also fallen. It is conceivable that they must be extremely desperate. It is too late for the Qi State to regret it. Qin has cut off the ridge of Shandong and pushed the princes far away.
Separate and can be defeated individually.
Hei Fu had no time to care about the feelings of the envoys from the Three Kingdoms, because after the ceremony, King Qin immediately announced the rewards for the soldiers who defeated Chu...
As the King of Qin announced loudly, the soldiers of Qin made a fuss.
Since the death of Lord Changwen and the rebellion of Lord Changping, the Qin Kingdom has had no monarchs for several years, but today, here, a new marquis was born!
"The great concubine, Wang Jian, defeated Xiang Yan's army and captured the King of Chu. He was promoted to the rank of Marquis of Guannei!"
…
Throughout the afternoon, the Qin army outside Huaiyang City was in a state of excitement.
Except for Wang Jian who is the Marquis of Guannei, among the other lieutenants, Meng Wu is the commander of the carriage, Feng Wuze is the great commander, and Qiang Yu is the young commander.
Among the several captains, Li You was also promoted to the rank of right concubine. He is currently the one with the highest title among the dozens of captains.
After the generals and captains were rewarded, the soldiers and soldiers below also benefited, and among them, Heifu's Anlu became the biggest winner.
In the decisive battle, he was the first to arrive on the battlefield. He spread banners widely, which greatly confused the Chu army. Later, he broke through several formations and won Yan Shuai's flag, which was a great contribution. As a result, there were thousands of soldiers in the army. The lowest was a public servant, and some with outstanding performance were even
After being promoted two levels, among the several officers, Ji Ying became Bu Geng, Li Xian, and Xiao Tao became officials. Dongmen Bao had the ability to capture the flag, and his troops beheaded Ying Lun, so he was directly promoted to official officials.
!
As for Heifu, he was promoted to the eighth level of "public transport"!
While everyone was beaming with joy, Li Xian lowered his head and made calculations, then said softly to Heifu: "Captain, if you add in our achievements in Huainan, your achievements would be enough to be promoted to the rank of fifth official. Why did you only get the official title?"
"
"Captain Li told me."
Heifu told him not to worry too much: "There are too many soldiers in the army, so the planners and military judges only have time to calculate the credit for the war in Huaibei. The credit for Huainan will be calculated together with the entire army after the Chu Kingdom is completely wiped out."
"
It can be seen that the King of Qin only rewarded half of this reward, and the remaining half should wait until the Chu Kingdom is completely destroyed before adding it up together. Firstly, he can continue to use the title and salary as bait to prevent the generals from being satisfied. Secondly, it can also
Let Wang Jian avoid being directly maxed out and unable to be sealed...
"That's it." Li Xian nodded.
Others did not have such thoughts as Li Xian, and they were almost crazy with joy. Dongmen Leopard was laughing from ear to ear. After a while, he suddenly became serious and said to Ji Ying: "Ji Ying, what are you doing?"
I slap you!"
Ji Ying thought he was confused, and finally gave him a hard slap at Dongmen Bao's repeated requests. Dongmen Bao covered his red cheeks and smiled again: "It hurts, it seems to be true."
of!"
"A year ago in Anlu, I was content to just do nothing and manage the gangsters in the village. But now, I am an official, an official..."
After sighing with emotion, he, Ji Ying and others all bowed down to Hei Fu!
"What are you doing, second or third son?"
Li Xian knew what everyone was thinking and said for them: "Thanks to the leader who encouraged us at the banquet that day with the words 'lords, generals and prime ministers, it is better to have the kind', otherwise, everyone would have been a little rich and would not want to go back."
War, how can I continue to have the honor of being promoted today?"
"It's your own meritorious service that you shed your blood and sweat on the battlefield."
After Heifu helped them up one by one, he said in his heart: "It's better not to be too happy. Although after the Chu Kingdom is completely destroyed, everyone and I may still be able to continue to rise to the first and second levels of nobility, but the rising tide lifts all boats. This time
After the great battle, at least more than 100,000 people will be knighted, and Qin’s title will probably be greatly denounced!"
Just when everyone was discussing how to celebrate in the evening, Li You sent Feng Jing to look for Heifu.
"Congratulations." Feng Jing smiled broadly as soon as he came in and held his hands toward Heifu.
Hei Fulian said he didn't dare and said with a smile: "I also want to congratulate Zi Yang."
Although Feng Jing is just a clerk and assistant and has not been promoted, his resume can be considered gold-plated this time, and his father Feng Wuze has become a great scholar in one fell swoop. This second generation is becoming more and more valuable...
"Zijing came to see me. Could it be that the captain summoned me for something?"
"What do you think I'm congratulating you for, for getting promoted to public transportation?"
Feng Jing laughed loudly and said: "The captain asked me to tell you that the king may have summoned you, so you should hurry up and wait outside the king's tent! Mr. Hei, this is truly worthy of congratulations!"
…
"Quite energetic."
After Li You saw Hei Fu coming in a hurry, he looked him up and down and even straightened his clothes himself.
"After all, we are still in the military camp. You and I will just go in wearing our military uniforms."
Seeing that Hei Fu seemed a little nervous, Li You patted his armor and said with a smile: "Whenever the king asks you, just answer it. Don't be tongue-tied. The king doesn't like dull and stupid people."
The black man only agreed and waited behind Li You. Not long after, a tall and tall white-faced middle-aged man with a long sword on his waist, a crown and a short beard on his lips opened the king's tent and came out.
His appearance was majestic and steady, and his smile was like a spring breeze. He smiled softly and said, "Captain Li, please come in."
When Li You saw this person, he did not dare to neglect at all, and said respectfully: "This... Qi State and Yan, didn't their envoys just come in?"
The white-faced middle-aged man smiled and said, "If the king says yes, then it's okay."
He then glanced at Heifu: "Is this the leader Heifu who was praised as 'Zicai' by the king the year before last?"
"The official is Mr. Hei!"
If Heifu remembers correctly, this person is the person who drives the car for the King of Qin. His position and salary should not be high, but he is the person closest to the King of Qin and the most trusted person. No wonder Li You is respectful and respectful, so he also bows deeply, Chief. The driver must not be offended.
Li Youye introduced him: "This is the official of CRRC, Mr. Zhao..."
The middle-aged man laughed loudly and said: "What is the order of Zhongche Mansion? I was originally a recluse in the palace, and I have been humble all my life. I was lucky enough to be selected as an eunuch. I also committed a serious crime. I should have suffered death. Thanks to your Majesty, I was spared from death. I still let you." I serve Your Majesty, and now I am just an ordinary clerk in the CRRC. Just call me Zhao Gao!"
"Zhao Gao!?"
Hei Fu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart felt like a turbulent sea.
The tall, handsome guy in front of me, with a smile that makes people feel like spring breeze, and a humble and decent conversation, is this Zhao Gao?
"You must have walked into the wrong set!"
Heifu felt a little messy and secretly stared at the beautifully groomed beard on this man's lips and thought to himself: "Isn't Zhao Gao a eunuch? Why is he tall and majestic and has a beard?"
However, if this person was really Zhao Gao, if he died before that point in time, history would be completely different!
Hei Fu only had a little thought, but Zhao Gao seemed to feel something. He suddenly stopped talking to Li You, turned around, his eyes met Hei Fu's, and he gently touched Hei Fu's shoulder. A light pat, which seemed enthusiastic, but the hand was extremely cold!
Zhao Gao's ordinary smile was like a viper hiding its fangs: "The leader is uneasy. Is there something wrong?"
Hei Fu was excited, and immediately raised his hands in fear and said: "People from the small border counties have never seen the emperor, but now they are summoned, so they are frightened and uneasy..."
"Is that so? It's no wonder you are so young."
Zhao Gao's cold hand took away Heifu's shoulder. Before Heifu could relax, he turned around and told Li You a joke.
"Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang also said similar things when they met with the king, but they couldn't hide the evil even if they wanted to. Unfortunately, I didn't bring a weapon at the time, so I could only fight with my hands. In the end, Xia Gong took the credit. Oh... Hahaha, but today I am in the military camp, the soldiers are full of blood and their murderous intent is still there, maybe I feel wrong!"
