Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 135 What is Zulong's father's fatherly love like? It is very moving and exciting!
Public trials can win the hearts of the people at the bottom, which Yingzheng has proved in Chu.

Therefore, the criteria for judging the powerful gentry is also very simple, whether there is any crime of abusing the people on weekdays.

The bitter masters and the common people stood up to identify and report, and the powerful gentry who were found guilty of the crimes were sentenced to lifelong hard labor on the spot.

If it is verified that it is a false accusation by the people, the people will be guilty of the same crime.

This is where the Qin law is strict, and the cost of breaking the law is extremely high!
As for the powerful gentry with minor or innocent culpability...According to Qin Mo's original suggestion on how to deal with it, as well as the modifications made by Ying Zheng and other ministers, there is also a more detailed way to deal with it.

For those with lesser crimes, firstly, the floating property of the land and house will be confiscated, and secondly, depending on the crime committed, either the person himself will be sentenced to three years of labor reform, or his family members will also be sentenced to one year of labor reform.

At the end of the period, they will move to Tieshan, where they will be resettled in a centralized manner and will be supervised. They will not be officials within three generations.

Those who are not guilty are allowed to keep a certain amount of floating wealth according to the number of family members, which is the level of a well-off family, and then they are forced to relocate to Tieshan, where they are resettled in a centralized manner and accepted supervision.

At the same time, as compensation, the grandchildren of innocent patriarchs can be given priority in school and receive legal and ideological education. If they pass the examination in the future, they will be transferred to Guanzhong, where they can be officials.

This is the rigor and meticulousness of the Qin law, as evidenced by the Qin bamboo slips in Sleeping Tiger Land!

After such a public trial, the powerful local gentry were swept away, and the Yue people cheered.

After the rice is harvested, the fields can be re-divided and high-yielding grains can be planted!
The next day, the old and weak soldiers selected from the Huotou army quickly scattered in all directions with letters from the naturalized army to persuade them to surrender, blueprints of new farm tools, and rations in twos and threes.

Later, the army divided into small groups of varying sizes, and under the leadership of military officers and missionaries, they rushed to towns and cities in all directions after the Huotou Army recruited appellants.

As Fusu said, they are all local soldiers, taking over the local city!

In addition, Fusu took the position of prince and general Zuo, led [-] newly reorganized tribal soldiers, and served as the commander-in-chief of the city, ready to support at any time, a small group of troops who were frustrated in the city.

In order to escort Hao Daer's first independent leader, Ying Zheng dispatched Feng Jie, Li Si, Zhou Qingchen, and Zhao Gao's luxurious lineup in one go.

At the same time, an order was sent to the [-] Qin army in the rear to let Zhao Tuo, Zhang Han, Wang Qi and other cutting-edge generals temporarily resign from their military posts and join the Fusu army as Sima.

Such an arrangement can be described as well-intentioned!

Fusu finally had a taste of what Zulong's father's father's love is like, very touching and excited!
Then, Ying Zheng left him behind, and led the remaining [-] troops with Qin Mo, and continued to advance towards Panyu King City after the first Huotou army recruited the Fuguan.

Fusu led a school of soldiers and horses of his own, and looked at the [-]-strong army leaving with a binoculars. Looking at the backs of Ying Zheng and Qin Mo's horses, they gradually disappeared, and suddenly felt neither excited nor moved...Compared to Ying Zheng and Qin Mo, he is so big, he seems to be redundant...

……

"Aiqing, if you leave the prince like this, nothing will go wrong, right?"

Ying Zheng saw that the army had already traveled far enough, and it was difficult to see each other from Fusu's school, so he suddenly asked Qin Mo who was one head behind.

Although he has never personally led troops to fight, it is obviously against common sense for the main force to bypass many towns and rush straight to Panyu Wangcheng this time.

Even the towns that went around had already been detected by the sentry. Almost all of them were old and weak, women and children, and they did not have the ability to go out of the city to fight and cut off the retreat of the army.

But no one can guarantee whether the Panyu court still has any cards.

After all, wars are always changing rapidly!

Qin Mo probably knew what Ying Zheng was worried about, so he comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if the Panyu court still has hidden soldiers and horses, or borrowed soldiers and horses from other countries to fight, as long as they dare to appear in the back of our army , is throwing oneself into a trap."

"Your Majesty, the real retreat of our army is not His Royal Highness, but the [-] elite soldiers of the Qin army behind."

"At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only needs to stick to one city and wait for reinforcements. His Majesty and his ministers will lead the army back to the division, and together with [-] sharp soldiers from the Qin Army, they will attack back and forth. As many Panyu troops come, you can stay!"

Hearing what he said with certainty, Ying Zheng was immediately relieved.

The facts also proved that Yingzheng's worries were unnecessary. Two days later, he received good news from Fusu one after another.

In the towns and cities of Panyu, thanks to the efforts of the Huotou army to recruit officials, the people's minds have changed, and the officials and the people do not trust each other.

When the soldiers from the local area arrived, they easily took down the town without encountering any resistance.

In the few towns with die-hard gentry officials, the old and weak, women and children were unwilling to obey orders and guarded. After confirming that the outside of the city was really their own father, brother and children, they immediately turned against each other and cooperated internally and externally, and they were defeated in an instant.

And as time passed, the speed at which Fusu seized the town was getting faster and faster.

Even, it is time to catch up with the main force advancing straight to Panyu Wangcheng!

For one thing, Fusu became more and more proficient at dispatching soldiers and horses.

The second is that the Huotou army's confusing set of recruiting officials, as well as the letter of persuasion written by the Guihua army to relatives, the longer it takes, the more turmoil will be brewed.

As a result, many gentry officials in many towns abandoned the city and fled without waiting for the local rebels to rush over.

Even, take the initiative to find Xiancheng, and pay for the crime!

……

The trump card of the Panyu court that Yingzheng was worried about did not appear, but the main force of [-] troops was about to arrive at the royal city of Panyu.

"Your Majesty... General... the vanguard troops intercepted an urgent Panyu military report and sent it to Panyu Wangcheng!"

Under the scorching sun, a Yueren knight with a herald flag on his back galloped a hundred paces away from the imperial chariot, reporting loudly.

Ying Zheng beckoned and said, "Submit it."

The imperial guard beside him stepped forward immediately, took over the intercepted Panyu military report from the knight of the Yueren, and returned to pass it on to Yingzheng.

"Give me ten taels of gold, and send her to the medical camp for diagnosis and treatment."

Ying Zheng rewarded the Yueren knight who seemed to be suffering from heatstroke, then unfolded the bamboo slips, read them quickly, then passed them to Qin Mo and said, "Ai Qing, let's see how to deal with it?"

Qin Mo took the bamboo slips and watched them with a sinking heart.

The content of the bamboo slips is very simple, but the amount of information contained is not small.

Several plains of Panyu Kingdom were successively occupied by the armies of the six nations. The guarding general led the remnant soldiers to retreat, and was entangled with the armies of the six nations in the mountains and forests. He asked the Panyu imperial court to send more reinforcements.

Otherwise, the armies of the six countries will enter the plain where the Panyu King City is located...

……

At the beginning, in order to quell the rebellion along the coast behind, the king of Panyu sent all his troops, but it was impossible for him to let the armies of the six countries occupy Panyu's land all the time.

Therefore, more or less some troops were left behind, relying on the dangerous fortresses and the vast mountains and forests to block the lagging troops of the six countries.

I don't expect to be able to resist it, just to delay time, as long as it can be delayed!

According to King Panyu's estimate at that time, if the suppression of the rebellion went well, he could lead his army back before the armies of the six countries entered the plain.

To put it bluntly, it is to use the mountainous land that has no ruling value in exchange for time to move and suppress the rebellion!
However, King Panyu's abacus was well planned, but the old clans of the Six Kingdoms were not fools. After testing out the reality of the Panyu army left behind, they decisively concentrated their forces to crazily grab the territory!
This means that after the failure of Panyu Wangping's rebellion, he had already ended himself. Otherwise, even if he fled back and learned that the armies of the six countries had invaded and occupied many plains, and was about to hit the plain where the king's city was located, he would most likely hang himself in despair on the southeast branch.

Because in the plains, even with the support of the city, the armies of the six countries can rely on the war wisdom accumulated in the chaotic times of the Warring States period for hundreds of years to beat the Baiyue army to the point of doubting their lives!
……

Qin Mo put away the bamboo slips, bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said, "The movements of the old clans of the Six Kingdoms are much faster than expected."

"For the current plan, we should quickly seize the Panyu Royal City, and then send troops to block the armies of the six countries in the mountains and forests to fight."

"Otherwise, once the armies of the Six Kingdoms enter the Wangcheng Plain and the two armies open up to fight, even if our army has thunderbolts to help out, if we can win the battle, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory!"

Yingzheng nodded in agreement and said, "Good, then follow Aiqing's plan to quickly seize the Panyu King City... But I don't know if the Panyu King City has been disrupted by the Huotou army who went to the Panyu King City to recruit and surrender officials."

Qin Mo is silent, this is what he values.

Although Yue people do not have any superb architectural skills, they can still build city walls and the like.

Judging from the dictation of the attached soldiers, the King City of Panyu was built magnificently, even if it was not as good as the city in the land of Great Qin, it was not much worse!

Moreover, in the royal city of Panyu, there are many nobles and ministers.

These gentry ministers and the guests and retainers they raised are themselves a force for defending the city that cannot be underestimated!

Facing a real city guarded by troops...it is definitely possible to attack, but it is undoubtedly difficult to break through in a short time, even if the siege army is supported by thunderbolt bullets.

And once the time is prolonged, and the armies of the six countries also enter the Wangcheng Plain, it will be very fucked up.

Therefore, now it depends on whether the Huotou army recruiting officers who sneaked into Panyu Wangcheng will be able to do so.

If they are strong, the army will be much more relaxed!
"March in a hurry, before sunset, go another [-] miles, and at noon tomorrow, the soldiers will encircle the King City of Panyu!"

Qin Mo solemnly passed down the military order.

"Hey~!"

The lieutenant of the personal guard took the order with both hands, and immediately separated out a dozen knights, who rode away with the order flag, and conveyed the military order to every part of the continuous marching team.

After hearing the military order to march urgently, the mission officers at all levels decisively took the lead in singing the military song, and asked the soldiers to sing together to refresh themselves: "Forward, forward, forward, our team is like the sun...ready...sing~!"

……

……

At the same time, Panyu Wangcheng, the messy Panyu Wangcheng!

All the people in the surrounding area who can handle weapons, no matter the old, the weak or women, are conscripted to participate in the defense of the city, and only the infants who are breastfeeding are also stuffed with spear-shaped molar sticks.

Therefore, the city is extremely crowded and chaotic!

click-

On the city wall, a Panyu soldier who was urinating at the corner of the wall suddenly heard a sound behind him, couldn't help but paused, and turned around vigilantly to check.

However, when he saw clearly that there was a black and thin chaihuo girl behind him, he couldn't help but relax his vigilance: "What are you doing?"

Chai Huo Niu looked at the corner of the wall that was soaked by him, but she walked over and complained: "Brother, you peed on the place where I slept."

Hearing that, the soldier immediately put on an impatient face: "Get away, who is your elder brother..."

puff--

Unexpectedly, a sharp bronze dagger pierced the soldier's jaw from bottom to top, the sword body penetrated the entire skull, and a section of the sword tip drilled out from Tianling Gai, lifting the iron helmet on the soldier's head high.

thump--

Chai Huo Niu grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it out forcefully, the heavy body of the armored soldier immediately fell to the ground with a bang.

This sound attracted the attention of people around the city wall!
However, the old and weak women and children with weapons in their hands just watched this scene indifferently, no one panicked or shouted.

They just watched in silence, looking at Chai Huo Niu, who cut off the soldier's head with a bronze dagger, then took out a bundle of fine hemp rope from his bosom, turned out of the city wall along the crenel, and finally plunged into the moat.

After a while, the old and weak women and children saw Chai Huo Niu successfully climbed to the other side of the moat, and finally their expressions were no longer indifferent, but they began to regret and regret.

"It's hard to find a single person..."

"I knew I should have done it first..."

"Let a girl take the lead..."

"Let's go, don't let the nobleman be caught as a rebel and feed the mosquitoes..."

After a sigh, everyone dispersed, and there was a vacuum at the corner of the city wall, leaving only a headless corpse in iron armor lying there quietly.

I don't know how long it took, a group of Panyu soldiers hurried to find them and found the body of their companions.

The leading soldier was furious, looked at the old and weak women and children outside the vacuum zone, and roared, "Who did it?"

The old and weak women and children were so frightened that they shrank their necks and pushed each other to escape further.

choke-

The leading soldier drew out his iron sword, pointed at the fleeing old and weak women and children, and said through gritted teeth, "They are all the family members of the traitor! Kill them all and avenge my younger brother~!"

"Young gentleman, look, there is a rope here... There is still fresh blood on it... The rebel must have escaped from the city..."

A soldier found the thin hemp rope tied to the battlements, so he stopped the furious leading soldier and explained.

The leading soldier took a look, and had no choice but to sheath his sword angrily, then went to pick up the headless corpse, crying bitterly: "Brother Yao, you died a miserable death... How can I explain this to my uncle..."

All the soldiers behind him felt sad when they heard his cry.

And those old and weak women and children standing in the distance watching the excitement around them made them feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.

Because they know that as long as there is a slight negligence, these old and weak women and children will have their heads chopped off, and they will take credit for the rebels...

In fact, the gentry officials in Wangcheng had already noticed that there were rebel spies, and they were spreading confusing remarks everywhere.

Also sent out retainers and guests early to investigate and apprehend them!
However, the Panyu imperial court was not the Great Qin imperial court. They were not rigorous and meticulous in their management of the people at the bottom, going deep into every household. How easy was it to find the so-called rebel spies from the old, weak, women and children in the city?

The retainers and guests did not catch the rebel spies, but first found a fetish near the door of the house, and happily handed it over to the head of the house.

In the eyes of Yue people, paper is indeed a fetish.

Thin as a cicada's wing, white and bright as snow, neither silk nor cloth, it looks like a man-made thing, but it doesn't look like a human thing!
