Qin Hu

Chapter 26 How come I don't have sentiments for the country?

Yingzheng is not easy to be fooled. Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked past Zhao Zihu, and looked at Hu Hai who was kicked away: "You also make a set? How can you hold armor if you are not an official or an army?"

Hu Hai is a smart boy, seeing Ying Zheng's posture, he knew that he had said something wrong, so he shrank his neck timidly, not daring to answer.

Ying Zhengkuo let out a heavy snort: "Huh?!"

Hu Hai shivered, and was about to cry from fright.

Zhao Zihu secretly cursed the waste dim sum, so he had to take the initiative to say again: "Father, my son is Dr. Daizhao, and the younger brothers are my followers, so I want to make armor to protect myself."

Gan Luo also said: "Your Majesty, this is not the fault of Mr. Hu Hai. It is the same with all the officials and subordinates of the court and relatives."

Zhao Gao originally wanted to speak for his disciples, but seeing that the two had already taken the lead, he shut his mouth again.

But he didn't speak, but Ying Zheng wanted him to speak, turned his head and asked: "Can all the ministers and followers of the family of the ministers have armor?"

Zhao Gao is proficient in the law, has extensive knowledge and strong memorization, and Ying Zheng is asking him whether Qin Fazhong allows the servants of noble officials to support armor.

Zhao Gao raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the law prohibits the creation of private armors, and those who have armors leave the Shaofu... However, the law does not prohibit the servants of the family members of the colleagues from owning the armor. As long as the colleagues have some family backgrounds, they will indeed Prepare your own materials and goods, and ask the Shaofu to make armor and blades to equip your retainers, this is a common thing."

It is a crime to hide armor. Before Qin, there was no such saying.

Because men in the pre-Qin period were both farmers and soldiers, as long as they had the conditions, they had armor and blades in their families. When the king gave an order, men would wear armor and blades to fight the enemy and protect their homeland.

There is a good description of this in "The Book of Songs Qin Feng Wuyi".

Qi said without clothes?Go with the child.Master Wang Yuxing, repair my spear.Have hatred with the son!
Qi said without clothes?Tongze with the child.Master Wang Yuxing, repair my spear.Work with the son!
Qi said without clothes?Same clothes with the child.Division Wang Yuxing, repair my armor.Go with the son!
The three sentences all describe the same scene. The king ordered the army to be assembled, the men repaired their weapons and armor, and united to kill the enemy.

Ban armor?

I'm afraid you are not joking, you want to be exterminated!
The saying that it is a crime to hide soldiers is that after the Great Qin ruled China, Yingzheng was the leader. He did nothing and collected all the soldiers in the world. The people who built gold stood in Xianyang to declare the peace of the world and there will be no more wars and disputes. .

At the same time, it was also forbidden for the common people in the head of Guizhou to hide their military armor privately, so as to prevent the elders and children of the six countries from rebelling and pursuing restoration, and Li Si made a decree for this purpose.

However, that decree was aimed at the common people in the head of Guizhou. The nobles of the Great Qin Dynasty belonged to the privileged class and were not among the banned ones. Otherwise, it would be a crime for scholars to wear swords. Wouldn't that be ridiculous?

The law of the crime of hiding armored soldiers really attracted the attention of the world, and made the privileged class silent. It was in the Han Dynasty that Zhou Yafu, the unlucky guy, was missed by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, so he found an excuse to hide five hundred armored shields. His crime, but Zhou Yafu made various excuses, and would rather starve to death than plead guilty.

This is a privileged class that is clearly recorded in the history books and punished for hiding armor.

It was also after this incident that private possession of military armor became a big taboo. Later generations, regardless of whether they were scholars or generals, as long as they did not really want to rebel, they would not privately hide military armor and leave their braids for others to catch!

"Order Li Si to add to the law. The servants of the nobles and ministers who wear armor must have a register of the Shaofu to name their names. If there is a small number, the whereabouts will be reported, and if the number is more, the whereabouts will be reported. If the armor comes and goes unknown, it will be a crime!"

Ying Zheng ordered indifferently.

He also understood why when Li Si enacted the decree, he couldn't prohibit the family of the courtiers from supporting him, so he only ordered Li Si to add details, but did not completely ban it.

The world has just been unified for two or three years, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms not only assassinated him Yingzheng, but also assassinated the princes of the Great Qin Dynasty. If you forbid the princes to wear armor in their homes, it would be tantamount to letting them wait to die. I'm afraid it would be crazy to kill one with ten.

Ying Zheng doesn't want to be a polished commander!

"only."

Zhao Gao bowed his hand, and then ordered a group of sharp soldiers from the forbidden army to convey the imperial edict of Yingzheng to Li Si.

Ying Zheng, on the other hand, no longer bothered about Hu Hai and others making armors, and turned to Zhao Zihu, "You must know that subordinates are related to wealth and life. These dolls can't protect themselves, how can they protect you?"

"If you want to be a follower, I will give you hundreds of elite soldiers as followers, and let them accompany you when you go in and out, and protect you well!"

This is the concern of being a father.

And it does make sense, when the old Xiangli and the old Mo made things difficult for Zhao Zihu, the cold-blooded thirteen eagles were just pretending to be cowardly, and couldn't help at all.

If he really meets an assassin and a villain, he may not know who will protect whom!
Zhao Zihu was very moved, bowed his hands and said: "I thank my father for your care."

Ying Zheng nodded, and turned his attention to the windmill again, wondering: "What kind of armor do you want to make? You want to improve the armor-making process... Don't fool me with your reason for thinking about the soldiers of the Great Qin, you don't have that Don’t put gold on your face if you don’t like the sentiment of the country, it’s annoying to hear!”

Zhao Zihu: "..."

How come I have no sentiments for the country?

I was also a soldier in my previous life. Although I was discharged without even becoming a squad leader, my consciousness is definitely much higher than that of you, an old rich man!

"Your Majesty, this is the armor that Mr. Zihu wants to make."

Gan Luo took out the plate armor pattern of Tang and Song Dynasties drawn by Zhao Zihu, and showed it to Ying Zheng with both hands.

Ying Zheng took a look at it, then raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and said dumbly: "No wonder the armor-making process needs to be improved. If this kind of armor is made of bronze, it is easy. But if it is made of iron and forged by manpower, I don't know. How long will it take?"

Gan Luo said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are true, but my son's improvement in armor-making technology will ultimately benefit my Great Qin soldiers, and they should be rewarded."

Ying Zheng was noncommittal, returned the armor pattern to him, and said casually: "According to this pattern, I will also make a set for me."

Gan Luo bowed his hands: "Wei."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Zihu, and said: "You really deserve a reward for improving your armor-making technology. I will watch it here. If you succeed, I will confer you the ninth-class title of Zuo Shuzhang, an official doctor, and I will give you another one." marriage."

Zhao Zihu subconsciously wanted to thank him, but he crossed his hands before realizing the meaning, and said in amazement, "Give me a marriage?"

Ying Zheng nodded: "You are already at the age of tying your hair this year, and it's time to get married. I will choose a good wife for you."

He is also talking nonsense, he has never met the granddaughter of the old man, so he dares to talk about a good wife.

Zhao Zihu was stunned, Danfeng blinked and blinked, and it took a long time before he suddenly looked at Zhao Gao, who had a strange expression, probably because he had misunderstood, then turned to look at Diao Chan among the Thirteen Cold-Blooded Eagles, curled his lips and said: "The sage in the mouth of the emperor Wife, don’t you mean Diao Chan’s sister?”

Zhao Gao: "..."

Diao Chan: "..."

What is that expression on your face, do you want to be so disgusted?
