contend

Chapter 620
No matter how raging wars are raging outside, Qin is peaceful inside.

When the autumn harvest comes, the whole country is beaming with joy.

Although there is not enough rain this year, the perfect drainage system makes up for the lack of rain.

There is no good harvest, but there is no bad harvest, and there is no land tax.

All kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been reduced or exempted.

There was no big war, and Yang Zheng didn't like large-scale construction projects. The corvee service was basically small projects such as repairing county towns and villages.

All the grain harvested in the field belongs to the family.

The people in Shuzhong, who had some doubts about the Great Qin, all supported it very much.

"King Qin is really good for our people!"

"Hey, you've caught up, come to pick up the ready-made ones, it's not the King of Qin who drove you away with a knife, you are still grazing in the middle of Shu."

"Fart, we are also Qin people now, you old Qiang, it wasn't the King of Qin who pulled you out from the deep mountains and old forests, don't you also eat dirt?"

The Qiang people's temper exploded, and the Shu people didn't give in too much.

"Hey!" The Qiang people raised their sickles and greeted them, and dozens of people emerged from the fields in an instant.

There are Qiang people, Hu people, and Han people.

The people from Shu didn't hesitate, and shouted, and more than a hundred men stood up behind them.

People on both sides are about to exchange ideas.

A lazy voice came from the wheat field, "Secret fighting is a felony in Daqin. If it is light, it will be sent as a slave to the frontier county, and if it is serious, it will be beheaded. Have you thought it through?"

As soon as this remark came out, the anger rising on both sides subsided instantly.

The faces of the two leaders twitched strangely, and finally they hugged each other, "Mr. Gao Li joked, we are brothers and sisters, how can we fight privately? It is definitely not a private fight."

"Yes, it's not a private fight."

Gao Lichang lost his right hand. It is said that it was cut off by the bandit army during Feng Sa's battle. He was originally a general with a hundred men and had a bright future. With his hand gone, he couldn't stay in the army any longer. , full of prestige, walking with a murderous look, no matter how ruthless the stabbing head met him, he would be submissive.

As soon as he appeared, the two sides really became "brothers in love".

The laws of the Great Qin State are strict.

To say beheading is to behead, to say exile is exile.

Once the Qin law is violated, even the county magistrate can't afford to go around.

Zhenfusi and Xuanyisi are like vultures flying in the sky, with red eyes, staring inside and out.

Especially Xuan Yilang, everyone has a little red book in their hands, and it is said that even the county magistrate trembles when he sees his calf.

"You guys are killing talents like this, after a few days of good life, your skin is itchy?" Chief Gao Li squinted at them, "If you have lived enough, just wipe your neck and don't drag someone. A few days ago, Kui'an secretly Dou, the heads of more than 100 people in the lead were all beheaded, and their families were exiled to Juyan as slaves, why, you also want to taste the sharpness of Daqin's sword?"

hiss--

Several people gasped.

If you really fight, everything will be over.

The King of Qin ruled the country with respect for the law. Everyone knows that whoever has an accident will find trouble.

"Yes, yes, I will never dare to wait again." The forehead of the reprimanded person was covered with cold sweat.

"If you really want to fight, you can join the army and kill the enemy with a knife. That's a good man."

"Then you have to be able to do it." Several people grimaced.

The selection of soldiers by the Qin army was extremely strict, and their height and weight were not up to standard, and they couldn't even be soldiers in the government.

And the Chinese army is all a top hero.

Several people were chatting without saying a word, when they suddenly saw smoke billowing from the north.

A troop of cavalry was running along the official road.

Tall horse, heavily armored.

The words "Pang" and "Liu" are written on the front banner.

All the farmers in the field looked at the cavalry with envy.

The mighty cavalry had no conflict with the people working in the fields, and some cavalry even avoided the ox carts full of wheat ears parked on the official road.

In Chang'an City, Yang Zheng waited for Pang Qing and Liu Heng for a long time.

Different from Ma Xun's grand pomp, Pang Qing and Liu Heng returned to Chang'an completely disheartened.

"So, you lost your way and walked more than half a circle on the grassland without getting a single sheep?" Yang Zheng rubbed his forehead.

Mobei is definitely not as rich as the Western Regions.

After the decline of the Xiongnu, the rise of Xianbei had two opportunities for unification, one was Tan Shihuai, who died young, and the other was Ke Bineng, who was interfered by Cao Wei, and was finally assassinated by the governor of Youzhou. Xianbei fell apart and invaded each other.

After fighting for so many years, of course they are poor.

Yang Zheng's plan to beg for food from Mobei also fell through.

"When these thieves saw our army going north, they fled into the desert. We lost our way after we chased them..." Liu Heng looked helpless.

"Aren't there guides in the army?" Yang Zheng asked in surprise.

"The grassland is too big, grass is everywhere, the guide only knows the south, not the north..."

With a puff, the other officials couldn't help laughing.

It's normal to get lost. After all, the Qin army's footprints surround the Yellow River. Although they appease the Huns and Xianbei, these people have long forgotten what the grassland looks like after two or three generations in Hexi and Henan.

When the Han army attacked the Xiongnu in the north, getting lost was almost a routine operation.

Parachutist Li Guang couldn't find his way.

Twenty thousand cavalry were thrown into the grassland like water drops into the sea.

This troop dispatch was originally tentative in nature, and there must be risks involved.

"How much is the loss?" Yang Zheng asked.

If the loss is too great, the two will inevitably have to follow the military law.

When Yang Zheng governs the country, everything follows the law.

This is true among the people, and it is also true in the military.

At the same time as the extremely high rewards, the crimes of defeat, dereliction of duty, and misconduct of generals are also investigated.

It has to be said that after beheading Zhou Yu with tears, the army was punished, and those who committed crimes and cheated for personal gain were greatly restrained. Yang Zheng also seized this opportunity to strictly enforce the military law.

Pang Qing clasped his hands and said: "37 people died of illness, [-] horses were lost, and all the food and grass they carried were exhausted..."

This kind of thing can't be concealed even if it wants to be concealed. Jin Yiwei and Xuan Yilang in the army will have a complete assessment.

These losses are still within an acceptable range.

Yang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "The two of you will be exempted from your salary for half a year, and you will take away [-] acres of land. Do you have any objections?"

Getting lost is not a natural disaster, and there is a big reason to follow them.

Of course, there is also luck.

"The minister accepts the crime." Pang Qing clasped his hands.

"The crime of the last general." Liu Heng moaned, he had nearly a hundred concubines and dozens of children, and he was under a lot of pressure.

"If you fail this time, will you dare to go next time?" Yang Zheng smiled strangely.

This is how war is fought, half of it is human, and the other half is in the sky.

Many peerless famous generals lost major battles not at the level of generals, but because God did not reward them.

Liu Xiu even made meteorites out, so it's not surprising that anything happened on the battlefield.

Liu Heng's eyes widened, "Go! Of course!"

Autumn is tall and horses are fat, now is the best time to send troops to the grassland.

"Rest for a few days, and then lead the Wuwei camp and Xiaoqi camp into Mobei. This time, if you can't catch anyone, you can set fire to the pasture and force them to come out!" Yang Zheng smiled benevolently.

There is no way, in order to make the grassland people no longer endure the wind and rain, they have to use some means.

Now that the strategic direction has been set, it must be implemented unswervingly.

Liu Heng stuck out his tongue and said, "Your Majesty's trick!"

Yang Zheng glared at him, but wondered in his heart that he had been with Wei Guan for a long time, and he was also infected?

But Yang Zheng was really doing it for their own good. It was the general trend to integrate into Huaxia, so why be so coy?
