General Qin.

Chapter 58

At the head of Wuyang city, the black flag fluttered in the wind.

The Qin army outside the city began to enter the city in an orderly manner.

Zhao Tuo's troops were located in the rear, and when they entered the city, they saw a scene of submission.

All the warriors of the Yan army who resisted had been slaughtered, and all that remained were the soldiers who surrendered at the last moment.

They were confiscated with weapons, stripped of their armor, tied up with ropes like livestock, and driven into the place where the prisoners were held.

On both sides of the street, there were many Yan people in the houses looking out through the door. They looked at the Qin army marching on the street with trepidation, not knowing what fate awaited them.

"Tsk tsk, so many people, why did they surrender? If Naigong cut one, he would be transformed from a public official to a superior in no time."

Heibutt licked his lips regretfully, his eyes kept looking at the heads that popped out of the doors.

"Black ass, you can talk nonsense. There are words in the military law, killing the good and taking the meritorious deeds, and punishing severely. If you do this, it doesn't matter if you lose your head, but don't implicate us." Xi Qigu immediately warned .

Xiao Bai also yelled: "If you black ass dare to do this, I will sue the adulterer immediately!"

"Yes, yes, report on you!"

Everyone in the village stared at Hei Butt together, their eyes made him hairy.

Black Butt sneered: "I'm playing with my second and third sons, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. I, Black Butt, am a good officer who strictly observes military discipline. How could I do such a thing? Let's just play around and play around."

Zhao Tuo glared at this guy fiercely. He didn't expect that the most bloodthirsty person in Gengshi was actually this black ass.

If Hei Hip really did something like killing a good man and taking credit for his merits, Zhao Tuo would not be able to protect him, and even had to sue the officials first.

Because the Qin law is very strict, if one person breaks the law, all of them are guilty of the same crime.

As the head of the village, Zhao Tuo will be implicated by black buttocks. The so-called "one who knows that someone breaks the law and refuses to do so will do so for his own sake." of.

And Zhao Tuo has his own principles.

He can cut off the heads of Yan Jun without any scruples on the battlefield, because fighting on the battlefield is the master of each.

But killing ordinary people and using their heads to pretend to be meritorious deeds is something Zhao Tuo would never do.

If a person has no bottom line and kills innocent people indiscriminately for military merit, then he is not far from degeneration.

Zhao Tuo was also a commoner in his previous life.

Fortunately, the Qin army should be regarded as the best disciplined army in this era.

After the armies of Wei, Chu, Qi, and Yan conquered the city, their generals would loot gold, silver and jewels, and their soldiers would rape and plunder, committing all sorts of crimes.

But it is absolutely impossible for Qin Jun to do this.

Lu Buwei, the predecessor of Qin Wangzheng, once put forward the "theory of righteous soldiers".

When calling on the Qin army to attack the city and occupy the land, "Do not abuse the grain, do not dig graves, do not cut down trees, do not burn accumulations, do not burn houses, do not take six animals, and return them to the people and captives to show their likes and dislikes; To seize the enemy's capital."

Since then, the Qin army has gradually changed its original barbaric style, and the various massacres in the era of King Zhaoxiang have gradually become less heard.

Although Lu Buwei was implicated in the matter of Lai Ai, was dismissed, and committed suicide, his thoughts were not abandoned.

Wei Liao, the current head of the Bangwei Mansion, is a supporter of the theory of righteous soldiers, and he even carried forward the theory of righteous soldiers on the basis of Lu Buwei.

"Every soldier does not attack a city that has no faults, and does not kill innocent people. The brother of a husband who kills, the loan of money for the benefit of others, and the children of his concubines are all robbers. Therefore, soldiers punish riots and prohibit injustice. Also. Those who are recruited by soldiers, farmers should not be separated from their fields, merchants should not be separated from their homes, scholars and bureaucrats should not be separated from their government offices, and the military will be decided by one person, so the blood of soldiers is the same as the world."

The ridiculous contrast is here. The six kingdoms of Shandong called Qin Qin a tyrant, and the Qin army was called the division of tigers and wolves.However, in the war of annexing the six countries, Tyranny did not massacre the common people in Guizhou. The Qin army made the first contribution, but only killed soldiers who resisted on the battlefield. For ordinary people, as long as they obeyed, they would let them go.

Even when the Qin State destroyed the country, it had to be righteous.

The reason why Qin destroyed South Korea was that the king of Japan and South Korea Nadixiuxi, please be a vassal, and it has been doubled, and he rebelled against Qin with Zhao and Wei, so he raised troops to punish him.

When Qin destroyed the State of Zhao, it claimed that the King of Zhao sent his prime minister, Li Mu, to make an alliance, so he returned to his proton.He has turned his back on the alliance and turned against us in Taiyuan, so he raised troops to punish him.

Qin is also famous for defeating Yan today.

The king of Yan was confused, and his crown prince Dan Naiyin ordered Jing Ke to be a thief, punished by soldiers and officials, and destroyed his country.

I killed you because you didn't speak morally first.

I, Daqin, not only want to destroy your country and your community, but also take the moral high ground and accuse you severely.

Guided by such a concept, the Qin army crossed the border, and dare not say that the real autumn will be achieved without any crime.

However, under the harsh deterrence of the Qin law and the supervision system of Shi Wulian, ordinary Qin soldiers really did not dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

There will definitely be people who commit crimes, but he has to pass the Shiwu Paoze test first. After all, if one person breaks the law, there will always be someone who is afraid of being implicated and will report.

Even though everyone in Shiwu kept his mouth shut, they still had to be inspected by the military judge when he handed over his head. As long as there were any problems, everything would be over.

The risk is too great, and not many people dare to do such a thing.

When the common people in Wuyang City saw that the Qin Army had fulfilled its promise and not only did not slaughter the city indiscriminately, but instead maintained the order in the city and preserved their lives and property, they did not talk about celebrating each other, but they were also happy, and obediently acted as Qin. country's obedient citizens.

Of course, captives who resisted and were captured before were not included.

Cut off the heads of some of the captives as needed, and after the troops that had contributed before had achieved a surplus, the Qin army really sealed the sword.

As for the remaining captives of the Yan army, they will become prisoners and ministers, join the engineering brigade of the Qin State, and spend their lives contributing to the construction of the Qin State.

The dust of the Wuyang war has settled.

But the battle to destroy Yan is far from over.

Wang Jian stood on the towering city wall of Wuyang City, looking at the field of Dukang in the distance.

Behind this rich and fertile land is Ji, the capital of the Yan Kingdom.

"Li Xin."

"The end is here."

Li Xin stepped forward and cupped his hands.

Wang Jian said indifferently: "Wuyang has been taken, and the army will be here for a whole day. You can lead a part of the army to clear a road before the army, capture Zhuoyi, and wait for the army to arrive there."

"Wei, the final general will fulfill his mission!"

Li Xin's face was agitated. Before the battle of Yishui, Wang Jian first asked him to train new soldiers, and later led troops to attack the Great Wall. Although these things were very important, they always made him feel uncomfortable.

Especially in the siege of Wuyang, the army led by Li Xin was kept at the end by Wang Jian, and did not get any credit at all.

Now he can finally be the pioneer of the army, go straight into the heart of Yan State, and fight for hundreds of miles. This is exactly what Li Xin wants.

Seeing the figure of Li Xin striding away, Xin Sheng who was standing aside smiled and said, "Is the general finally willing to let this tiger out?"

Wang Jian coughed twice, took out a silk cloth and wiped his nose, he suffered from cold again these days.

"The reason why I suppressed this kid was because he was too impatient, and I wanted to use this to sharpen his temper. For a general, calmness should be the first priority. Big loss."

"The tiger has been imprisoned for a long time, and I have to let it out for a run, otherwise it will lose its vigor."

Speaking of this, Wang Jian couldn't help laughing again: "But this time, he probably will be disappointed again. After the battle of Wuyang, Yan Wangxi will only shrink his troops in fear and defend Jidu. Zhuoyi, I guess There will be no war."

Following the general's military order, 1 people will be assigned to the reserve force that has not made any contribution before, and will be led by General Li Xin.

Zhao Tuo's group of thousands of people was also on the expedition.

　Lu Buwei's and Wei Liao's Theory of Volunteer Soldiers respectively comes from "Lu Shi Chunqiu Huai Chong" and "Wei Liao Zi Wu Yi"

　　Refer to Mr. Zhu Shaohou's "The Disadvantages of "Journaling the Chief" and the Contributions of Lu Buwei and Wei Liao in the Qin Unification War"

　　Lu Buwei served as Prime Minister from 249 BC to 237 BC. He fought the Six Kingdoms continuously for 13 years, but only in 245 BC did Gong Gong attack Wei and behead [-] people, and there was no record of massacres in the rest.

　　After Lu Buwei's death, Qin's massacre thought raised its head again. In 234 BC, Huan Yu killed Zhao general Hu Zhe and beheaded [-] people, which was the most beheaded after King Zhaoxiang. However, soon after Wei Liao entered Qin, Qin's massacre policy Turning around again, there was basically no record of massacres by the Qin army during the ten-year reunification.The only special case may be that the king of Qin killed his enemies after he destroyed Zhao, but that was a personal enmity, which was a special case.

　　It can be seen from this that the theory of righteous soldiers was really implemented in Qin State, and this is also one of the important factors for Qin's rapid unification.
