Qin Gong

Chapter 113

The sky is bright, and when dawn rises, there are white mist floating between the mountains and rivers.

When the red sun is rising, a ray of sunshine shines on Xincheng.

On the head of Xincheng City.

When the Qin army attacked Xincheng in the past, the traces of arrows left behind are still clearly visible.

Bai Yan stood in the middle of the city road, wearing the armor of Qin State, holding Qin Jian with both hands, looking at the gradually leaving figure in the distance.

This was the first time he saw his relatives after leaving Qi.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a descendant of the Bai family, but in fact, he has always been alone.

in Qin State.

He has no relatives.

"Little uncle."

Bai Yan stared at the figure who was going away, and murmured, with a hint of reluctance and a lonely expression in his words.

The little uncle who hadn't seen him for many years, did not expect to meet him under such circumstances.

We just met, we have to say goodbye again.

Last night we talked until midnight, at the insistence of my uncle, in order to prevent leaks and accidents, he personally sent my uncle back to the small house.

In my uncle's words, if he lives in the mansion, he must kill the shopkeeper Xiaoshe, otherwise sooner or later, the shopkeeper Xiaoshe will bring up this matter, and who can guarantee that it will not be heard by the merchants of Chu State.

After all, the Qin State had just captured the new city, and the people in the new city were very sensitive to the Qin army's every move.

Only by returning to Xiaoshe and letting the shopkeeper know that Qin Zu had caught the wrong person and finally released him, the shopkeeper will definitely not take it to heart.

"Farewell in a hurry, see you someday!"

Bai Yan said softly.

Watching his little uncle stop in the distance outside the city, and turn his head to look at the city wall, Bai Yan knew clearly that his little uncle knew that he was on top of the city.

After a long time.

Bai Yan watched the figure disappear into the distance.

At this time, a Qin soldier came slowly.

"Doctor, General Teng ordered you to go to the mansion."

Qin Zu came to Bai Yan's side, cupped his hands and said.

Bai Yan nodded.

Taking one last look at the direction in which my uncle left, he turned and walked down the tower.

In the new town.

The common people have gradually adapted to the Qin army stationed in the new city, and now they are already walking on the streets.

On the street, there was an endless stream of figures of men, women and children, creating a lively scene.

On every street, there were several Qin officials standing in front of the announcement, and some common people were bold enough to ask something.

After all, not everyone is literate these days.

Most of these people are villagers from small villages near the new city. Now that the new city has been breached by the Qin army and has become a city of the Qin state, the people naturally have to abide by the laws of the Qin state.

They don't know about Qin Law, but they have all heard that Qin Law is strict.

Instead of accidentally violating Qin Law later, it is better to ask clearly now, knowing what can be done and what cannot be done.

Some people saw a Qin pawn riding slowly on a horse in the distance, and hurriedly let the road go.

on the street.

Bai Yan rode on the horse and looked at the common people on the street.

According to rumors, after the reform of the Qin State, the people fled from Qin State one after another.

But don't talk about the people of the Qin Kingdom, Bai Yan could understand from looking at the scene in front of him that the so-called 'common people' actually referred to the gentry.

After the new city was breached, the gentry who had been in the new city had fled the new city one after another.

Duke Jin once said that at the beginning of the reform of the Qin State, people from various countries ran to Qin State one after another to share the cultivated land.

It is not difficult to know this sentence. For the gentry, the laws of the Qin State hurt their own interests, and there is no way out if they don't go, but for the common people, the opposite is true.

This is also why the Qin State became more and more soldiers and soldiers, from a small country living alone to a powerful country after the reform.

If the people of Qin State fled from Qin State, and the people of other countries fled from the cities captured by Qin people, Qin State would have destroyed itself in the consumption of wars.

What's more, after Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang, King Qin Huiwen was the first person to realize the shortcomings of Shang Yang's reform.

Compared with Shang Yang, King Huiwen of Qin paid more attention to practicality, and understood that the Qin State could not only have farming and fighting, but also had other industries.

Therefore, in addition to retaining the core of the meritorious title system, King Qin Huiwen made drastic amendments to other laws and regulations.

Since ancient times, after the death of a king of any country, his posthumous title mostly depends on the behavior of the king in his life. For example, Di Xin's posthumous title is Zhou, so he is called King Zhou.

From the "Hui" of King Qin Huiwen, we can see that Qin Huiwen also won the hearts of the people in amending the Qin law.

After King Qin Huiwen, King Qin Wu died with a tripod. As soon as King Qin Wu died, the state of Qin was controlled by his relatives, the Chu family, and the law of Qin ushered in the second revision!

The third revision after that was when Lu Buwei was still Qin Xiang.

While Lu Buwei saw the strength of Qin State, he also saw the problems existing in Qin State.

Compared with the previous Qin kings, Lu Buwei, who saw the problem of Qin law, did not support the destruction of the six kingdoms, and was more inclined to Qin's rule of the world, so he should take it slowly.

Lu Buwei also began to revise the Qin law, the most representative of which was that the beheading system of the Qin army was too bloody, so he abolished the beheading system.

Although after Lu Buwei's death, Qin Jun resumed the beheading system again.

However, some other laws and regulations were revised, and they were all preserved.

Therefore, the current Qin law, after revisions from generation to generation, has become acceptable to the common people, far from what the rumors say.

"doctor!"

When Bai Yan returned to the mansion, Ye had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

Bai Yan nodded, handed the horse over to Ye, and then quickly entered the mansion.

When they came to the study, Old General Teng, General Hu Jin and others were discussing the layout of the march on the map.

"General!"

Bai Yan came to the side of the map and saluted Old General Teng.

"Don't be too polite."

Old General Teng nodded when he saw Bai Yan.

"I thought about it day and night yesterday, and I feel more and more that the Han army will build a barrier on the south bank of the Weishui River."

Old General Teng looked at Bai Yan, then looked at the map and said.

It turned out that after hearing Bai Yan's words yesterday, looking at the map, he felt more and more that the reason why King Han did not surrender was probably because he was sure of resisting Qin's army.

Thinking of Bai Yan's words, he felt that, as Bai Yan thought, the Han army would build a barrier on the south bank of the Weishui River.

He was worried about Chu Ren and Kai Wan.

Therefore, it was decided that after the iron cavalry army arrived in Xincheng today, he would personally rush to the south bank of the Weishui River with the iron cavalry army.

Inside the study.

When the other generals heard Old General Teng's words, they couldn't help but look at Bai Yan with emotion.

Bai Yan is still so young, but his ability and insight are far beyond those of his peers.

Even Hu Jin looked at Bai Yan at this moment, thinking in his heart whether Bai Yu would be dumbfounded if he knew about it.

Hu Jin has always been aware that Bai Yu doesn't seem to know his nephew Bai Yan very well.

At first it was Bai Yan's swordsmanship, and later when Bai Yu was poisoned, he asked Sima Xing to help Bai Yan.

It can be seen from this that Bai Yu doesn't seem to know the ability of his nephew Bai Yan.

"promise!"

In the study, Bai Yan clapped his hands in response after hearing Old General Teng's words.

Bai Yan didn't know much about the abilities of General Chu Ren and General Kui Wan either. Originally, the military strength was not as good as that of South Korea. Now that General Teng, the chief general, was willing to go there in person, he was naturally more at ease.

Inside the study.

After General Teng decided to go to the south bank of Weishui, he began to deploy food and grass, as well as the problems of vehicles, ladders, and follow-up troops.

Shen time.

Accompanied by the deafening roar of cavalry from the west gate of the new city.

More than [-] iron cavalry of the Qin State, holding the black cavalry with the word Qin, entered the city from the west gate.

Whether it was the Qin officials at the city gate or the people in the city, seeing a famous iron cavalry soldier wearing Qin armor and holding a long dagger and Qin sword, they stepped aside one after another.
