Chengyang had already fallen into the hands of the Qin people.
The villages and towns around Chengyang were not able to avoid the disaster of the war. The Qin people attacked very quickly, and because the distance between Nanyang County and Chendu was very close, the Qin army quickly attacked from three directions.
When they arrived in the Huaibei area, their strategic intention was obvious. They wanted to force the King of Chu to move the capital, and at the same time cut off the direct connection between Chu and South Korea to prevent Chu from participating in the war between the Three Jin Dynasties again.
Jinyangyi is a small township located near Chengyang City. There are less than three hundred people in this township. They are all honest fishermen, and the officials here have long fled into Chengyang City.
Among them, the helpless Chu people were left behind. The Chu people had a very strong sense of ruralism, from the king of Chu to the bottom, so they rarely chose to go into exile like the Koreans. Even if they died, they would die on their own.
in his homeland.
But what is surprising is that the Chu people, who have a strong sense of rurality, are also the country that has moved their capitals the most.
The people in the villages were hiding in their homes and shivering. They had already hidden the food in a place where the Qin people could not find it. They knew the Qin people's evil name, but they did not know that the Qin people were attacking them.
What will happen to them when they come here? Sometimes, the process of waiting for the disaster is more frightening and painful than the disaster itself. They waited for three days, and finally, a Qin army
Came here.
The old man in the village doctor went out alone to greet the Qin people with a cane. Anyway, he had lived for a long time. He was afraid of death, but he felt that compared with the young and strong children in the countryside, he was still his own
Death is the most cost-effective. When the old man of Chu State saw this elite soldier, fear inevitably appeared on his face. In front of him, there were about five hundred Qin troops, who were lined up to attack.
In the formation, a general stood at the front, looking at him fiercely.
The old man looked at them one by one, then bowed to the general and said, "I wonder what the general's order is?"
The general looked a little irritable and pointed at the old man and yelled something. The old man couldn't understand what they were saying. At this moment, another general came from the side. He walked up to the irritable general just now and said,
After a scolding, he looked at the old man with a smile, and heard him say in Chu language: "Old man, please don't be afraid, we are the army of Qin, and we will not hurt you."
Finding that he could communicate with this man, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly said: "The people here are all civilians of Chu State, and the officials have fled here. If you need food, we can provide it for you. Please
Don't hurt the people here." The old man said urgently and begged the general. General Qin smiled and said seriously: "Please don't be afraid."
"We will not harm anyone, nor will we rob food. Do you have local household registration information here?"
The old man looked at the Qin people in surprise, and then he took these Qin people to the courtyard of the local officials. Sure enough, there were many bamboo slips left behind. It can be said that when the Chu officials fled here,
, did not take away any bamboo slips at all, only took away his own wealth, but abandoned the wealth of Chu State here. General Qin stepped forward and looked through it for a few times, although these simple household registration information of Chu State did not satisfy him.
, but this is better than nothing.
Then the old man helped call out the Chu people hiding in the house. The old man knew that if they offended the Qin people, they would be useless no matter where they were hiding. The Qin people simply counted the number of people. During the whole process
, the Qin people did not kill them, nor did they take away their food. After the Qin people finished these things, the Qin people stayed here for another night. The next day, the general called the old man over again.
"From now on, this will be Jinyangli, which belongs to Chengyang County... You will serve as Li Zheng. The so-called Li Zheng means to check the household registration..." The Qin general told him the Qin State's grassroots system seriously.
Then he called a young man and said: "He is temporarily serving as the chief of the pavilion here. The security of the surrounding three li is under his jurisdiction. If there are thieves and bandits, you can go to him, but he will not
Interfering with your spring planting..."
The old man just looked at the young man in surprise. He didn't understand at all what the Qin people wanted to do. When he was young, he also fought with the Qin people. He knew the Qin people's ferocious nature, but now the Qin people...
Why do they look so gentle? In order to ensure that the old man understood this, the Qin army stayed here for three days. During these three days, not only did they not harm the local Chu people, they even stayed here.
In the wild, there is no robbing them of their shelter.
The Chu people were shocked. After three days of this, even the young children here dared to come to the Qin people. The Qin soldiers were a little confused. The serious and rigorous soldiers looked at the Chu children running around them.
Without saying a word, more Chu people still failed to let down their guard. They believed that the Qin people would attack them sooner or later. When the old man vaguely recited part of the Qin Law, the general laughed.
Laugh, I just left here.
He took away several carriages, but left the corresponding money.
Before leaving, he gave the old man a bundle of bamboo slips, saluted him with a smile, and then left, sending away these Qin soldiers who had committed no crime. The Chu people looked confused. What is going on? The old man
He picked up the bamboo slips. The bamboo slips were written in Chu language. The first article had several large Chu characters written on them, "Ma Fu Shu". The old man was stunned and continued to read.
"Everyone in the world loves their relatives, is close to their own countrymen, treats fellow countrymen casually, and hates people from other countries... But I am not like that..."
In Chengyang County, the Qin people buried the city guard who committed suicide due to defeat, appeased the local people, and even released the soldiers who had been captured in the battle to defend the city. However, they took away the soldiers in the name of the Chu nobles.
The slaves and their retainers were all taken away by the Qin people. I heard that they would use these slave retainers to reward the meritorious Qin people. The Qin people were unusual, which surprised the people of the fallen Chu state.
They did not kill prisoners or massacre the people of Chu. It can even be said that they were more friendly than the soldiers of Chu. Apart from not having many smiles on their faces, for a while, the Chu people forgot to resist... and Qin
People quickly pacified various places and stabilized a route for Qin to attack Chendu. During these days, a bamboo slip called "Ma Fu Shu" became popular in various places in Chu State.
It is said that this was written by the people of Qin, recording the words and deeds of Ma Fujun. Unfortunately, the deletions were a bit serious, leaving only a lot of thoughts about the seven kingdoms becoming one and being kind to others.
The soldiers of the Qin State who were stationed in Chengyang were a little confused. Standing on the city, the soldiers looked into the distance, then looked at Shi Chang beside them, and asked in a low voice: "Shi Chang... There are obviously residential buildings in the city, why are we still here?"
Do you want to stay outside?" Shi Chang looked at it carefully and said seriously: "This is the order of General Meng Ao, and it is said that it is also the order of the king."
"But why would they give such an order?"
The commander was a little angry and said: "When the village chief read the "Ma Fu Shu" last night, didn't you listen carefully?"
The soldier was stunned, scratched his head, and said: "I heard it, but I didn't understand it. Besides, isn't this Ma Fujun our enemy?"
"You don't even read the horse service book, but you still want to be a Qin official in the future? Guard the city with peace of mind!"
The chief scolded him, and the two of them were speechless.
The soldier was stunned for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Actually... it's quite good now. I saw a few Chu children playing today, and it was like seeing my son..."
This time when the Qin army marched towards Chu, Fan Ju issued a very strange order to Meng Ao. The prisoners were not allowed to be killed. The military merits of the prisoners were the same as the severed heads. The people along the way must be appeased in time, and the Chu people were not allowed to be massacred without reason. There were also
He carried some Chu-language abridged versions of horse clothing books to promote to the entire Chu State. In short, Fan Ju gave him great restrictions. Meng Ao was also confused, but he remembered the horse clothing that was very popular in Qin recently.
He also understood Fan Ju's thoughts.
"The Book of Horses" contains many aspects of thought, and even military theories. Meng Ao was very excited to read it. However, the core of the book is still focused on the unity of the seven countries, and how to end the war.
This is the so-called theory of one king and the world. According to Ma Fujun's thinking, when there is only one king in the world and this king can treat everyone as his own subjects, the world can stop war.
Does Fan Ju want to use the content of Ma Fu Shu to reduce the resistance of the Chu people?
No matter what Meng Ao thinks in his heart, Fan Ju's order must still be implemented, although he does not see any benefits. In the past, as long as there was a city that resisted, he could kill all the residents here. In this way, the rear area
It will be extremely stable, and no one will dare to attack their grain roads again. Under the high-pressure policy of the Qin people, the people in the occupied areas are honest, but now, without the high-pressure system, people have appeared in various places.
Attack the Qin people's food roads and sneak attack the Qin people's soldiers who stayed behind.
Chu's resistance did not decrease because of Qin's kindness.
The young children of Chu looked at these Qin soldiers happily, but their parents looked at the Qin people with eyes that were neither grateful nor kind, but a kind of deep-hidden hatred.
Facing these invaders, they could only hide their anger in their hearts and wait for the opportunity of revenge. The Qin State appointed local moral and famous people to serve as governors, county magistrates and other positions in the occupied areas, allowing them to
Lead the people to carry out spring planting and do not be delayed by war.
The people of Chu continued to work on their farmland. The old men who had been entrusted with important tasks by the people of Qin stood beside the farmland. They could not understand why they suddenly became officials of Qin after decades of fighting with the people of Qin.
?The Qin people also issued an order. In order to appease the people everywhere, they were allowed to reduce their taxes this year. They only need to pay a very small amount of grain this year, and the rest can be kept.
In addition, the Qin people executed the fleeing nobles of the Chu State, distributed the farmland under their names to the local people for farming, and allowed the people to buy and sell the land freely, and no longer farmed it for the nobles. The Qin State had a very detailed
The local system, with its strong mobilization ability, made detailed arrangements for the occupied areas in a short period of time, and even the officials rushed to their positions in a short period of time.
It can be seen that Fan Ju has indeed studied Ma Fushu thoroughly. He has given the people in the occupied areas of Chu State a better living environment than before. However, the people of Chu State are still at a loss at this moment and can only
Keep working.
Maybe... this year will be a good harvest?
Similarly, in Zhao State at this moment, the people also started farming. When the people of Zhao State learned that Ma Fujun was safe, they felt relieved and started busy with spring planting. The officials were no longer as idle as before.
, even members of the aristocratic group are trying their best to win the favor of Ma Fujun at this moment. You must know that Zhao Bao is not the leader of the aristocratic group of Zhao country, Ma Fujun is their recognized leader, and Zhao Kuo also has the surname Zhao.
.He is also the nobleman with the largest number of food estates in the country of Zhao.
Even Zhao Bao and Zhao Sheng didn't have as much food together as Zhao Kuo...
Not only officials, but also many local nobles followed Zhao Kuo's example and used their cattle to help the people... However, the most important thing may not be the support of these people, but something about the people themselves, such as hope.
, the people of Zhao State are happily working in the cultivated fields, guessing this year's harvest. They no longer have to worry about whether all their food will be taken away, nor do they need to worry about whether they will be called to the battlefield while farming, because,
They now have Ma Fujun.
The cultivated fields of Zhao State are full of joy and laughter. This year is probably a good harvest year?
The timid people in South Korea stopped fleeing, and under the leadership of local officials, returned to their hometowns and started farming. They were still very scared and did not know whether the Qin people would come back. However, they heard that Zhao Guo
Ma Fujun once again defeated Bai Qi, and this good warrior Ma Fujun is now in Xinzheng. Ma Fujun can protect them, and Ma Fujun's army never bullies them.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo in the Han Palace looked at Xiang Xian in front of him, sitting in his seat at a loss, exhausted both physically and mentally. The Qin State happened to launch an attack during the spring planting season, and I don’t know how many people would have to suffer because of this.
He starved to death because of this incident. After he came to this era, he never stopped for a moment. Could it be that he couldn't change anything after all? Everyone was wailing, how could he save them?
What on earth did I...do?
Zhao Kuo's eyes were full of confusion.
"I don't know why, but they spread a lot of words and deeds about you in Chu State... They did not kill prisoners, nor did they harm the local people. They even quickly arranged for officials to divide the fields and lead the people of Chu State to cultivate...
Lord Chunshen ordered me to ask you: Have you...already surrendered to the State of Qin?"
"Um?"
Zhao Kuo suddenly raised his head.
ps: I saw someone scolding the protagonist for being too useless. It’s okay. In my next book, I will write a book called “Picked Up an Alloy Keyboard” so that the protagonist gets a keyboard when he travels through time. In this way, the protagonist has a keyboard in his hand.
