Chapter four hundred and seventy-eight of agitation
Under Lin Ze's strong arrangement, all the powerful disciples headed by Li You were arranged in a large courtyard, and were strictly guarded by the four elders of Fang Xiandao and a group of Fang Xiandao disciples. It was called protection, but it was actually under house arrest.
If nothing else happens, they will probably be under house arrest by Lin Ze until the end of the counter-insurgency.
As for when the counter-insurgency will end, it depends on whether Lin Ze's next plan is successful or not.
The so-called lieutenants and partial generals were nothing more than a cover-up for Lin Ze. Even if he lacked generals to lead troops, he would never be able to appoint these people as generals.
This group of rich and powerful children who grew up in Chang'an and attended various banquets all day long had no experience in leading an army. If they actually went to the battlefield, let alone countering the rebellion, it would be fine if the entire army was not wiped out.
Even if a well-educated son of a powerful man has enough talent to lead an army, Lin Ze would not dare to use it. If this group of people get together in private and respect themselves for supporting the army, Lin Ze will be ignored in minutes and become a soldier.
The glorious "glorious commander".
So Lin Ze put them all under house arrest without even giving them the general seal.
Lin Ze could be sure that if the news of what he had done reached the ears of Li Si and others, it would arouse dissatisfaction and hostility from countless people, and there would be many people who would take the opportunity to impeach him.
Not only because Lin Ze put these powerful children under house arrest, but also because Lin Ze's actions would cause these powerful children to lose the opportunity to make contributions. This is behavior that those families cannot tolerate.
According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, military merit is the foundation to ensure the glory and continuation of their family.
When Emperor Qin was in power, the empire as a whole tended to be peaceful and stable, with only a few remaining wars in all directions. As a result, those military and powerful families almost broke heads with each other in order to give their descendants a chance to make meritorious deeds.
This time Chen She's rebellion was a big opportunity for these families.
Just like this time, if Lin Ze didn't take the initiative to ask Hu Hai to ask these powerful children to join the counter-rebellion army, they would probably find a way to recruit family members.
This is why they easily agreed to send their most direct descendants to Lin Ze's command.
Lin Ze has never been afraid to speculate on the worst malice of this group of powerful people. In his opinion, it is most likely that they allowed Chen She to grow bigger and refused to put down the rebellion on purpose. Otherwise, Li Si could have done it on his own.
Make them act like a yes man?
Now that Chen She is king, it means that this "pig" has become fat and ready to take action.
Lin Ze could almost predict what crazy actions those families would do in anger after getting the news.
But Lin Ze didn't care. As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two harms. Comparatively speaking, house arrest is the best choice. Lin Ze even thought about the rhetoric. He will not be affected by his life, let alone you group of ministers.
of?
As for the possible revenge in the future, let's take it one step at a time.
…
After handling this matter, Lin Ze stood in front of 700,000 young men and began his deception, bah, morale-boosting move.
Lin Ze was seen standing in the air, looking down at the group of young men. A clear and bewitching voice came from his mouth: "Do you want to get ahead?"
A group of young men looked at Lin Ze standing in mid-air with doubts on their faces, and countless questions emerged in their minds: What is this adult doing?
Seeing that he couldn't get a response from the young adults, Lin Ze couldn't help but frowned and thought to himself: After all, they are a group of young adults with a low level of education. If I say so, I can't arouse the resonance of these people. I have to try another way of saying it.
try.
After thinking for a while, a confident smile appeared on Lin Ze's face, and he shouted with all his strength: "Do you want to eat meat? Do you want to eat more and better meat? Just like the reward I gave you before, then
The meat is stewed in a big pot, the aroma is fragrant, and when you take a bite, your mouth is filled with oil and juice."
Hearing this sentence, the young men instinctively thought of a big pot in which the fragrant animal meat was stewed. The stew was crispy and delicious, and the aroma lasted for miles. Then they picked up a piece and took a bite. It was the most delicious meat in the world.
One of the wonderful tastes.
For a time, countless swallowing sounds sounded among the mountain peaks, rising and falling, echoing endlessly.
Lin Ze was slightly satisfied with the performance of the young men, but it was still far from his expectations, so Lin Ze continued: "Do you like women? White and tender girls? Smooth skin, with...
Fragrant smell.”
You must know that the age of marriage of ordinary people in the Qin State is generally relatively low. Although most of these young people are young, there are not a few who have tasted that kind of experience.
As expected by Lin Ze, these young and vigorous men looked at Lin Ze with bright eyes. Some of them were even secretly expecting: Could it be that this gentleman wants to reward us women?
Lin Ze nodded secretly: Very good, the effect is good.
So Lin Ze continued: "Do you want gold and copper? Lie down on countless gold and copper every day and exchange it for everything?"
In order to match this sentence, Lin Ze said to Yingbu: "Go and bring ten boxes of gold, open them and let them open their eyes."
Yingbuyi led a few people to carry ten boxes over and opened them one by one. He saw ten boxes full of gold, which reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight.
The young men couldn't help but squint their eyes to reduce the stimulation of the eyes by the light, but their breathing was obviously a little heavier.
One gold can be converted into one thousand coppers, which is enough for an ordinary person to live for a month. How many boxes are there?
Ten thousand gold? One hundred thousand gold?
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is enough for their family to have a worry-free life. In comparison, what is the annual corvee? They can be exempted as long as they pay a sum of gold to the government.
Lin Ze pointed at the ten boxes of gold and said with bewildering words: "Did you see it? This is the food and salary I have prepared for you. Do you want it?"
Finally, someone couldn't hold it any longer and said, "I want to."
A smile appeared on Lin Ze's face, but he pretended not to hear and said: "Don't you want it? Delicious animal meat, beautiful women, and intoxicating gold, don't you want it at all? You just plan to work hard all your life.
Are you living, but you don’t even have enough to eat?”
"Think about it," the emotions of the young people in the field were suddenly aroused, and they shouted crazily.
Lin Ze said enthusiastically: "Then are you willing to fight for this with me? Just like every time you fight for animal meat? Pick up your weapons and fight with me. Opposite you are a group of mud-legged people like you.
Are you afraid?"
If Lin Ze had said these words three months ago, few of the young men present would have ignored him. However, since Lin Ze implemented the policy of rewarding the winners with animal meat, the wolfish nature of these young men has gradually been revealed.
He inspired it.
Dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit, and wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat. With the youth and strength of wolf nature, they will no longer be a group of cowardly civilians, but a group of hungry wolves that can be bloodthirsty.
In comparison, the group of people who followed Chen She in the rebellion and went to work in the north were not because of their wolf nature?
Lin Ze looked at the young man standing in front of him with admiration: "Okay, today I will select 50,000 people from among you and go to the battlefield with me. If you can make great contributions, I guarantee that you will get
What I want is just like that pot of animal meat."
Many young men looked at him expectantly, thinking in their hearts that it would be great if they could be selected by this adult.
Lin Ze did not delay too much and ordered Yingbu and the six Ling Guard commanders to lead the Ling Guards. He selected the young men who had won the beast meat and stood aside to form a large army.
As for why it was an army of 50,000, it was because the weapons and armor Lin Ze brought from Chang'an were only enough for an army of 50,000.
Other equipment is still being dispatched. Lin Ze can't lead a group of unarmed troops to suppress the rebellion.
In that case, it's not counterinsurgency, it's more like delivering food.
After the 50,000-strong army was selected, Lin Ze immediately ordered the weapons and armor to be distributed and armed.
Lin Ze took them to Hangu Pass and took them with him along with the group of powerful children.
Yingbu and the six commanders were retained by Lin Ze, who was responsible for rectifying the remaining young men.
