Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Five King Head Hammer! King Head Hammer!
After getting the dagger, Jing Ke was not in a hurry to leave Yan State. Jing Ke felt that he could not successfully kill Ying Zheng by himself, so he waited for a friend. His friend was a knight who lived in Qi State and had fought with his bare hands.
Hu was very famous in the local area. He stopped to wait for his friend, but he still didn't leave. The State of Yan saw that Jing Ke stayed in the capital and refused to go to Handan. He was worried that the King of Qin would leave Handan, and
Suspecting that Jing Ke had repented, he called him to the palace and entertained him again.
"You have been in the capital for some time. Don't you plan to leave yet? I am very worried that King Qin will leave Handan. Please allow me to send a deputy envoy first."
When Jing Ke heard this, he was very angry. He scolded King Yan angrily and said, "If you go now and fail to complete your mission, that is the behavior of a villain! I just went to kill the powerful King of Qin with a dagger.
So I stayed here not because I was afraid, but because I was waiting for my guest so that I could go to Handan with him. Now that you suspect that I have any regrets, please let me say goodbye to you!"
The King of Yan was shocked and hurriedly said that he was not suspicious, but was worried that it would be difficult for the King of Qin to assassinate him after he left Handan... Jing Ke ignored him and was about to leave. The King of Yan and the ministers who knew about it were dressed in Yan's clothes.
Wearing a white hat to see him off, he left the capital and came to the edge of the Yishui River. After completing the sacrifice, Jing Ke was about to go on his way. Jing Ke was sitting on the carriage, followed by the envoys who followed him to Qin.
As he was about to set off, he saw Jingke's friend Gao Jianli sitting on the ground rudely as if there was no one around him, and began to knock on the bamboo.
Jing Ke couldn't help but sing to the tune of his friends again. All the ministers shed tears and cried softly. Jing Ke sang loudly: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. The strong man has left.
I will never return it!"
His singing was so angry that the officials' eyes widened, their hair stood up and they raised their hats.
So Jing Ke drove away. From beginning to end, he never looked back to see King Yan or his friends.
The people of Yan did not know that Jing Ke was going to assassinate him. The only people who knew about it were the King of Yan, some ministers, and those who were willing to follow Jing Ke on his mission to Qin. These people were all the confidants of King Dan of Yan.
They would not abandon him easily, and King Yan also trusted them. After sending Jing Ke away, King Yan felt very uneasy. This uneasiness was not caused by quality control today.
Ever since Yan Dan came back from Qin, this uneasiness has been haunting him. He was very scared and felt very desperate. Only when he truly saw the terror of the enemy could he understand what he was facing. Yan Dan knew that Qin
Those generals of the country, if they take any one at will, they cannot be stopped by the State of Yan. He knows the grain production of the State of Qin and the national strength of the State of Qin. All of these are not comparable to the State of Yan.
Yan Dan lived in such fear every day. During the day, he looked at the weakened Yan State in front of him, and at night, he was always awakened by the scene of the destruction of the Yan State in his dreams. He cried and shouted not to
, but he knew that this day would come sooner or later, and he could not change it at all... Under such huge fear, King Yan seemed to become more and more paranoid, and he began to use all kinds of ridiculous ideas to convince himself.
As if this can change fate.
The poor King Yan knew that the disaster was coming, but he was helpless. He could only place his hope on this defending warrior. He could only hope that once King Qin died, there would be turmoil within the Qin State, and both Chu and Qi would be destroyed.
Come to help him, and take advantage of the fact that the prince of Qin is still young, and force Qin back to Hangu Pass... After sending Jing Ke away, he talked to himself about his thoughts and kept persuading
If you follow yourself, you will never fail.
King Yan found that he could sleep.
In his sleep, he saw King Qin lying on the ground clutching his wound. He saw that the State of Yan was safe and sound.
As for Jing Ke, he has never been willing to live his life in such an ordinary way. King Yan was willing to bend down to ask him to do things, and Jing Ke was willing to help him, even at the risk of his own life. This is a typical knight-errant, that is,
The most disgusted knights in the Qin State are knights like this who are unscrupulous, despise nobles and attach importance to villains. They draw their swords to help when there is injustice on the road and keep their promises. They have the demeanor of gentlemen and the nature of villains.
This kind of knight-errant culture is a very important part of Chinese culture... But after the Tang Dynasty, it was difficult to see such knight-errants again. Until a certain famous book in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, this book is about missing a kind of past.
The hero's knight-errant demeanor. The protagonist is unscrupulous and despises the gods of all walks of life, but never bullies the villain. He is willing to make compensation after breaking the villain's shoes. When encountering injustice, he helps with a stick. He is capable of both literary and military skills, and can even help others.
He writes poems about his own weapons. He has the demeanor of a gentleman, but also has the mischievous nature of a villain.
Jing Ke is a very authentic knight-errant. As early as when he sang about the heroes leaving, he never thought about coming back alive. In order to make an agreement with others, or because of the respect of others, he was willing to risk his life. He didn't care.
Whether the Qin State is violent or peaceful, he does not care whether the king of the world is good or bad. As long as others think highly of him and entrust their affairs to him, he will be willing to handle them.
At this time, Jing Ke also successfully arrived at Zhao State, or in other words, Zhongshan County of Zhao State. Soon, soldiers along the way stopped them. When the local officials saw Jing Ke's tall figure and extraordinary bearing, they also
Without being rude to him, after learning his purpose, he escorted them to Handan.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo was still in the distant Julu County, where he continued to lobby the local people, hoping to reduce the resistance in the people's hearts, and knew nothing about Jing Ke's arrival.
As for Ying Zheng, he also stayed in Mafu for a period of time, and Yi also met his mother in Handan. Naturally, they were very excited when they met, and the family was finally reunited. Ying Zheng usually takes Fusu with him at the
Wandering around in the horse suit, he took him to see the place where he often went when he was young, Mengwu in Handan. He couldn't wait for King Qin for a long time, so he could only rush to the horse suit to pay his respects. When he saw the King of Qin, Meng Wu didn't have time to say anything.
After learning about the situation in various places, Ying Zheng ordered him to make full preparations for next year's farming!
Zhao State lacked seeds, farm tools, and cattle, but this did not matter in front of Ying Zheng. With an order from Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei of Xianyang began to transport Zhao land. Wang Ben successfully inherited his father's inheritance.
As the transportation captain, he began to be responsible for transportation from various places to Zhao. Under Ying Zheng's tough attitude, Lu Buwei almost emptied the treasury, but this was not a problem for the Qin State. Qin State's production efficiency was very high.
, don’t be afraid of these expenses.
As a result, aid from all over the country continued to appear in all parts of Zhao State. The Qin people sent food, clothes, seeds, farm tools, and cattle, and distributed these materials on a li basis so that the people could prepare for next year's farming.
People were shocked... For so long, the government had always asked for supplies from them. When had they given them these? They were a little afraid to take them. The Qin officials forcefully gave them to them.
They also popularized the most basic laws of Qin.
Those who dare to neglect farm work and do not cultivate seriously will be punished.
Zhao Ren was stunned again, what kind of law is this???
However, the arrival of these materials did alleviate a lot of resistance. The Qin State re-divided the land among the people. Most of the land formerly occupied by the nobles of the Zhao State was evenly rewarded to the meritorious soldiers, while the remaining
Those from the land will naturally be distributed evenly to the people of Zhao State. In Qin State, as long as you want to farm, you will not worry about not having farmland. Qin State encourages people to farm.
They will not take away people's land, nor will they prohibit people from cultivating it.
All this is somewhat different from what the Zhao people thought about the violent Qin. They thought that after the fall of Zhao, their suffering would begin. They all thought that they would become slaves and their wives and daughters would be insulted.
, but the Qin State not only did not harm them, but also gave them farming tools and land... Soon after, examinations for recruiting grassroots officials began in various places, that is, to recruit grassroots officials such as pavilion chiefs and litian.
However, all the old nobles of Zhao State were sent to the land of the old Qin people, and among those who remained, not many were literate, and even fewer knew the law. They were not very successful in the exams, and a large number of
Officials came from Qin to Zhao, and vacancies in various places were being filled. Ying Zheng issued an order that if the official arrangements were not completed before next spring plowing, Lu Buwei and other officials would be severely punished.
Lu Buwei was not afraid of being punished, he was just worried that it would affect his reputation, so he tried every means to arrange for officials.
In just a few days, Mafu ushered in a revival. Mengwu sent a large number of tools, cattle, and grain... The people in Mafu also started to get busy. Ying Zheng would still be there sometimes.
Helping these people work in the farmland... Everyone was naturally shocked when they saw this scene... Zhao Kang did not refuse. When he learned that silt was needed to improve the quality of the farmland, he carried it from the river.
Silt returns to help the people here.
He is so strong that one person can do the work that four people can do.
After Ying Zheng stayed in Mafu for a while, he finally said goodbye to the people here and rushed to Handan. He still had many things to deal with. The land of Zhao was full of waste and was waiting for prosperity. He saw with his own eyes the lives of the people of Zhao and had to
Knowing their thoughts, he had to change everything. When Ying Zheng came to Handan, the officials in Handan came out to greet him in fear. Ying Zheng went directly to the palace of King Zhao and sat on the throne.
Zhao Wangqian, who surrendered, sat not far away in fear, with his head lowered.
On his left hand, Guo Kai was smiling and looking at King Qin flatteringly.
Guo Kai was also unlucky. He had been waiting for Qin to fulfill its promise and complete the reward for him, but the reward had not come yet. Zhao Kuo came instead. Zhao Kuo had said before that if one day he saw Guo Kai,
He must strangle him to death with his own hands. Guo Kai knew this and hid in the mansion in fear, not daring to come out. Until Zhao Kuo left, he did not dare to go out. Now the person who can save him has come to Handan, Guo Kai
He couldn't wait to come out to greet him.
Ying Zheng looked down on King Zhao and Guo Kai from the bottom of his heart, but at least on the surface, he did not show any hostility. He looked at Zhao Wang Qian with a smile and said: "In the beginning, Marquis Wu Cheng often came here.
It's a pity that Zhao Wangdan wanted to kill him, so he was forced to leave the country of Zhao. What do you think of this matter?" Zhao Qian was frightened and said: "That was what King Xiaocheng did and it has nothing to do with me.
ah."
"Hahaha~~", Ying Zheng laughed. Although he looked down on Zhao Qian, he did not want to kill him. Although he was an incompetent person, the people of Zhao still regarded him as the king. He was fine.
If he can survive, the people of Zhao will feel at ease. Ying Zheng thought for a moment and then said: "Wang Qian of Zhao has done great service in surrendering the land and can be named Lord Anle!" Zhao Wangqian was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked King Qin.
Ying Zheng then looked at Guo Kai. He liked Li Mu very much. It was for this reason that he had murderous intentions towards Guo Kai. Ying Zheng began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart again. Although the Three Kingdoms had been destroyed, there was still a powerful Chu State.
and Qi State, they are not easy to deal with. Li Yuan of Chu State and Hou Sheng of Qi State are all villains like Guo Kai, especially Hou Sheng of Qi State. As long as he is given enough money, he can do it.
Can become Qin's internal support.
If I execute Guo Kai now, will people like Hou Sheng become wary and not dare to help Qin again?
Guo Kai himself may not have thought that Hou Sheng actually saved his life. Like King Zhao, Guo Kai also received a reward and was immediately sent to Bashu. Although Guo Kai did not receive the reward in advance, he thought that he
I was very happy to have saved my life and hurriedly thanked King Qin.
At this time, the King of Qin learned the news that the State of Yan sent envoys to present the map. They wanted to cede the land and make good relations with Qin.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes. In order to resist Qin, Yan Dan even wanted to kill his own father. Would such a person come to offer his land to seek peace?
"Who did Yan send to present the map?"
"Jing Ke."
"Oh? This name sounds familiar..." Ying Zheng thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that his father seemed to have said long ago that he should be wary of a person named Jing Ke. Could this be the person his father mentioned? King Qin couldn't help but wonder
After laughing, he issued an order to receive the envoy from the State of Yan in the palace of King Zhao. Ying Zheng wore court clothes, and the ministers from Handan stood on both sides to greet the envoy from the State of Yan.
When Jing Ke walked into the palace, he was a little surprised, because there were actually warriors standing on both sides of the palace. These warriors were holding spears and even bows and crossbows, which was intimidating. No, according to the laws of the Qin State,
Law, the ministers who serve in the palace cannot carry any weapons. The palace guards hold weapons and serve His Highness. They cannot go to the palace without the king's order. Why do these warriors appear in the palace?
Jing Ke's hands trembled slightly, but he still paid homage to King Qin.
King Qin looked at the person in front of him, and he was a little curious. How did his father know this person? Who is he? He looked at Jing Ke, but Jing Ke raised the map in his hand and said, "This is the map of Yan State. Please
Allow me to complete my mission!" King Qin looked at Zhao Kang beside him and nodded. Jing Ke took a few steps forward. Zhao Kang stood up, holding the dagger, and stood beside King Qin.
Jing Ke smiled and slowly opened the map. When everyone was looking at him, he suddenly pulled out the dagger from the map. Jing Ke rushed towards the King of Qin, intending to stab the King of Qin with the dagger. The officials were shocked.
, Zhao Kang was the first to react and stabbed him with his sword. Jing Ke quickly dodged Zhao Kang's thrust. Zhao Kang pulled the dagger down, but a blood mark was opened on Jing Ke's back.
Jing Ke ignored the pain and rushed directly to King Qin's side.
Something happened suddenly and unexpectedly. Everyone was in panic. Meng Wu and others rushed towards King Qin. King Qin was also a little confused. When he saw Jing Ke rushing towards him, he subconsciously kicked away the dagger in Jing Ke's hand. The dagger
After falling to the side, Jing Ke attacked the King of Qin with his bare hands. The two pinched each other's necks. Zhao Kang suddenly reminded: "The king's headbutt! The king's headbutt!"
King Qin reacted, raised his head back, and hit Jing Ke's nose hard with his head. Jing Ke's nose was broken. He screamed and fell to the ground. Zhao Kang had already arrived and chopped it off directly.
With his right hand, everyone pushed him to the ground, making him unable to move.
Jing Ke fell to the ground and was dizzy for a long time.
