Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 42

Officials?
Li Shang recalled the rules in the military merit list.

Officials and nobles can get seven hectares of land (seven hundred acres) and seven 'houses' homesteads.

I am a noble official, and according to the laws of Qin, my eldest son can inherit the status of a noble, and my second son can inherit the rank of a public servant... No, I haven't married a wife yet, so why do you think about it... Li Shang shook his head and felt The prisoner in his arms is no longer a person, but a field, a house!

Li Shang smirked and tied up the leader of the Yue people, and suddenly looked up at Ren Xiao: "Junwei, what rank are you now?"

Ren Xiao let out a long laugh: "This old man is No. 12, let's go to the left!"

Ziying looked at the envious Li Shang, and said to himself: Am I proud of the fact that I am the head of a seventeenth grade four-wheeler?

While the few people were talking, Jun Sima had already finished counting the beheadings, and after saluting to Ren Xiao and Ziying one by one, he reported:

"No one in our army was killed in battle, only six people were injured by arrows, and 14 people had broken arms!"

"A total of 190 people were beheaded, 460 people were captured, and 320 of them were seriously injured!"

Ren Xiao nodded, and said: "The seriously injured were executed on the spot, beheaded for a merit test, and the corpse was hung on a tree by the side of the road. The prisoners will be escorted back to Panyu after recording their meritorious deeds."

"Here!"

Jun Sima cupped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.

In a short time, there was a loud cheer from the convoy.

According to the law of Qin, this is considered a great victory, even if the crossbowmen and drivers in the army did not win the first rank, they would still be promoted to the first rank.

And those soldiers who have made gains will be rewarded separately based on their merits.

The military merit conferring system obviously has the function of strengthening social class differentiation, and it is a way to ensure the circulation of social classes.

The level of the title is not only related to one's own identity, status, wealth, dignity and other vital interests, but also can be used to atone for the crimes of relatives, or to offset the legal status of one's relatives.

For example, you can return the two-level title to redeem the servants and concubines among your relatives as common people, or return the first-level title to redeem your wife as common people, etc.

The laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict, and the people would violate the law if they were a little careless, ranging from fines, tolerating (hanging off beards) criminal laws, etc., to tattooing [qíng] as a city dan, pounding [chōng], and even corporal punishment.

Most of the people in the Qulishan mausoleum are Chengdan, Chung, and prisoners who were sentenced to hard labor because they could not pay the fine. Their life expectancy is generally only three to five years at most after becoming a prisoner.

Therefore, it is said in the "Shang Junshu", "When the people hear about the war, they congratulate each other, and those who sing songs in their daily and eating places are also fighting", "The people who see war are like hungry wolves who see meat."

After about an hour, the battlefield was cleaned up.

Rows of headless corpses were hung from the big trees on both sides of the road, in order to show off their force and frighten the Yue tribe in the forest.

Between the two rows of soldiers holding halberds was a prisoner of Yue people whose hands were tied together with straw ropes.

On the long halberd, there were many human heads with grim expressions and blood dripping down.

According to Qin law, after the war, the captured heads will be displayed publicly for three days, which is called "violent head" and "inspection of the head". Jue, the reward must be issued within three days, otherwise the county lieutenant will be dismissed.

Ziying was a little uncomfortable with the bloody scene, and he remembered the long talk with Fusu when he was parting. Fusu once said that barbarians, like beasts, are afraid of power but not virtuous.

At that time, he was somewhat disapproving, but soon, he understood the meaning of Fusu's words.

In the evening, under the leadership of Ren Xiao, the convoy was stationed near a tribe of Yue people attached to the Qin people. When he saw the lantern-like head of the Yue people hanging on the shaft, Ziying felt a little uneasy .

But Ren Xiao said it's okay.

From the leader down in the Yue people's tribe, they flattered the Qin army very much.

First, there were Yue people who took the initiative to guard the periphery for the Qin army, and then they offered all the food they had, in order not to offend the Qin people.

The sky had just darkened, and the joyful voices of Qin Jun and Yue Nu were all over the barracks.

After rejecting a girl from Yue who broke into his tent, Ziying wrote down his knowledge with the help of a dim ointment lamp: ...After October, all newborn babies of this tribe are from Qin.

……

In Shanglin Garden, next to the long pool of Qushui Tangtang, thousands of tents were temporarily set up.

"Book of Rites Moon Order" In the autumn of the season, the emperor taught hunting in the field to learn the five Rong; Ban Mazheng, ordered the servants and the seven scorpions to drive; Zai Jing ordered the chariot to be graded; the whole was set outside the screen, and Situ fluttered. , Swear it from the north; the emperor is decorated with scorpions, holding a bow and arrows to hunt, and ordering the main temple to sacrifice birds in the four directions.

It means that in September, the emperor will hold a field hunt to train the army.

Although the first emperor has not held field hunting for many years due to physical reasons, Fusu likes it.

At this time, Shanglin Garden happened to be a perfect hunting ground.

In the jungle of Shanglinyuan, the Shaofu will regularly organize hunters to inspect and drive out tigers, leopards, and bears, leaving only roe deer and wild boars. Therefore, the field hunting organized by Fusu can be regarded as maintaining the ecology of Shanglinyuan to a certain extent. balance.

However, the main purpose of this hunt was firstly to parade the army, to show off the military power of the court to the ministers, to frighten those who have two hearts among them, and secondly to see off Li Xin, the governor of Longxi County.

According to the laws of Qin, the commander-in-chief of the army had to go back to Xianyang to go through a set of procedures before the army went out to get the seal and tiger amulet for the transfer of troops.

At this time, Fusu was waiting for Li Xin's audience in the big tent with the Sanchen flag erected outside the gate.

Fusu had never seen Li Xin since he was defeated in the conquest of Chu and was sent to Longxi by seizing the title.

So when Li Xin signed up, Fusu looked him up and down.

Huggy, powerful, with white beard and hair, dark skin, and a miserable face... Well, it may be related to my just punishing him!
Fusu recalled the price of armor stipulated by the Qin Law. One armor was worth 1344 yuan, ten armors was more than 1 yuan, and corn was 30 yuan a stone. This was a fine of several months' salary!
It's all the fault of Ling Qiang!

Fu Su said solemnly: "Tell me about the Ling Qiang's raid on the frontier."

Li Xin pondered for a while, crossed his hands and bowed, and said, "Here!"

"Before the night attack that day, about 5000 people from Qiang Qiang took advantage of the night to break through the inner walls of Mayangli, Quanbioli, Yangwali, etc., killing four pavilion chiefs, seventeen pavilion soldiers, forty-nine Lizheng and subordinate officials, and one hundred officials at the head of Guizhou. 49, captive woman 73..."

Hearing what Li Xin said, Fusu clenched his fist involuntarily.

"Liu Zhuang of Fanghan County got the report, led a hundred soldiers out of the city to fight, killed five Xianling Qiang leaders, 96 slave soldiers, pursued for more than 74 miles, and recaptured the captive women, property, and Zhuang's body. Wearing more than ten wounds, he fought to the death, and before he died, he shouted to kill the thief! [-] county soldiers died in battle, and the rest were seriously injured...When the minister came to Xianyang, everyone died..."
