The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 927 Bai Juyi

"Naturally!" Li Shimin said to himself, "Nanyue Kingdom has had no war for many years, and its economy is prosperous, which is definitely not comparable to that of Shu."

"Didn't Pei Yuanqing say that there is a barren land?" Li Yuanba asked suspiciously.

Li Shimin couldn't help but rubbed his head, and said with quite a headache: "General Pei is a good fighter, but he doesn't often read books. When the first emperor marched south to Baiyue, I don't know how many cattle were transported there to reclaim the land, but There are 50 million regular troops. Although some of them retreated to various parts of the country in the end, they later immigrated from the Central Plains. When you get there, Fangzheng, just open your stomach and eat.”

"Also, apart from fighting, General Pei, you can follow what the second brother said, understand?"

"Understood!" Li Yuanba nodded, "Then I'll go tell Pei Yuanqing and tell him to read more."

"You can do whatever you want!" Li Shimin was delighted. Everyone in the army knew that his martial arts brother was a bit stupid. I really couldn't imagine what Pei Yuanqing's expression would be when he heard Li Yuanba tell him to read more if he didn't understand. It must be very exciting to think about it. .

From Dianjiang City to Jiangyang City, going down the river, coupled with the large number of soldiers in the army, there are strong soldiers paddling, and the speed is even faster. It only took half a day to reach Jiangzhou City.

When he was still on the battleship, Li Yuanba saw the gate of Jiangzhou City, and immediately turned his head to Li Shimin and said in a low voice, "Second Brother, I really didn't smash this."

Li Shimin's face was strange: "I didn't say you smashed it... But it's good to destroy it here. Whether it's our army or the Chu army, when they come here, they don't need to besiege the city. For the people in the city, it's a good thing." Good thing."

"It's just that the people in the city will understand what the king is thinking, but I don't know." Zhou Yafu sighed, his eyes were full of melancholy.

Li Shimin knew that the generals in the army were going to leave their hometowns, and everyone was reluctant to leave their homes, but there was no way to do it. When they were in Dianjiang City, the military order had already been passed down. When he returned to Bashu, he was promoted to two ranks again.

This move stabilized the impetuous people, and Li Shimin also spread the story of his father being captured by the state of Chu in the army. Out of sympathy, the soldiers in the army did not have much opposition.

"I believe that one day, they will understand what I am thinking." Li Shimin said seriously.

The people in Jiangzhou City seem to have gotten used to the presence of large armies. Whether they are soldiers from Chu State or Shu State, they are all regular troops with strict military plans, so they have never heard of any family's young lady being harmed or any shop being robbed. After checking the finances, the people in the city took it for granted when they saw the densely packed army outside the city with no end in sight, only the officials here hurried up the tower, and when they saw it was the army of the Kingdom of Shu, they greeted them outside the city, crying loudly Long live the king!

Li Shimin smiled sarcastically, ordered the whole army to land, looked at the official kneeling in front of him, and sneered: "Since you are so sad, why didn't you die for your country when Xiangzhuang came?"

This is just a fool. When Xiang Zhuang came, he called Long Live Da Chu, and when Li Shimin came, he called Long Live Da Wang. He was really despised by people.

But in troubled times, isn't this the kind of person who can achieve longevity?If he died, there would be no one to support his wife and children in the family, and no one would know what he would be like in the end.

"The purpose of my life today is to wait until the king leads our army to recover Jiangzhou!" The official cried even harder, and kowtowed his lifeless head to the sand.

"Come on! Get up!" Li Shimin had the world in his heart, so naturally he wouldn't make things difficult for such a small person, "How are the people in the city?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although there have been many wars during this period, the people in the city still live in peace, and...and when the Chu people came, they did not destroy the crops in the field. Guisou often carried a hoe in the field while farming, watching Let our army fight against the state of Chu."

"It's broken!" Li Shimin thumped in his heart. Wherever the army of Chu State went, they did not harm the people in the city, and never killed innocent people. Doesn't this mean that as long as King Xiang takes the land of Bashu, it won't take long? After a long time, the people in the land of Bashu can accept the rule of King Xiang, and change from Shu people to Chu people?
After knowing this, Li Shimin felt very sad, but he couldn't change anything; the virtuous minister of Chu State, Guan Zhong, assisted King Xiang, and King Xiang also worked hard to govern, and the pot was booming. Even if he annexed Bashu, he used a kind of soft policy, which is really terrible extreme.

"Forget it, who owns this world depends on whose fist is bigger!" Li Shimin turned his head to look at the river, at most by this time tomorrow, Han Shizhong's army will arrive in Jiangzhou.

"Report to Your Majesty! A battleship from Chu State was found on the Yangtze River. The flag is the item. I'm afraid it is the Xiangzhuang army?" Pei Yuanqing rowed the assault boat, led the people to rush over at a high speed, and shouted loudly on the river.

Li Shimin said: "Lead 5000 people, line up on the river, and just retreat!"

"Here!"

Pei Yuanqing led the order to go, Li Yuanba was ready to move, but after seeing Li Shimin's eyes, he immediately calmed down.

"Order the whole army to seize the last time to rest. Once we set off from Jiangzhou, there will be no such comfortable days!" Li Shimin said loudly.

Li Jing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to pay the army?"

"Send!" Li Shimin said decisively, and then added: "Deploy 1 people to form a law enforcement army to patrol the city to prevent soldiers from making trouble. If there are deserters, they will be executed!"

"Here!" Li Jing retreated immediately and mobilized people from the army to form a law enforcement army. He didn't know when he would be able to call back after leaving. Naturally, he wanted to leave a good impression on the people in the city. When he came back in the future, he might not know You can even push back.

Yingdu!

Around the capital of the state of Chu, countless armies gathered. These are the most powerful manifestations of Guan Zhong's ability to govern the country.

In the early morning of this day, the Prime Minister Guan Zhong summoned all the civil and military officials of the Chu State who stayed in Jingcheng, and a letter from King Xiang in the west brought great news.

It was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a hot oil pan, and the entire Yingdu had exploded, or the entire Chu country had exploded!

Next to Guan Zhong was Bai Juyi, the most newly promoted young official in the Chu Kingdom. He had just heard Bai Juyi's name, and Guan Zhong joked to the court officials, "Rice is expensive in Yingdu, and it's not easy to live here."

Later, I saw that Bai Juyi asked Beijing officials to be transferred to Changsha County, where the wisdom was most difficult.

The former governor of Changsha County was Wu Rui; Wu Rui used to be the governor of Qin State in Changsha County; because Changsha County was still in an undeveloped wasteland at that time, so once various people offended The laws of the Great Qin Dynasty were destroyed, and all of them fled to Changsha County. Over time, Changsha County became a gathering place for fugitives, and it was naturally difficult to stand upright.

In the past, Wu Rui had a great reputation and was able to deter these people. Later, Wu Rui was taken back by Xiang Yu and returned to Chu State to become a general of Chu State. The governor of Changsha was also free. Bai Juyi may have heard Guan Zhong's words It was a joke, and he held his breath in his heart, so he asked to be the governor of Changsha County.

The court and the people of Chu State were all waiting to see the joke of a young official, but they did not expect that after Bai Juyi arrived in Changsha County, he would strictly enforce the criminal law, promulgate laws, and directly graft the old system of rewarding farming and war in Qin State to Changsha. In this sinful land of the county.

And let out the words, saying that no matter where you are in the past, and what crimes you put aside, as long as you come to the court to sign up and make certain military exploits on the battlefield, you can be exempted from certain punishments.

At the beginning, no one believed him; Bai Juyi saw that no one believed him, so he made a big joke by doing so, so he immediately arranged for a cronies to pretend to be a group of gangsters, and found a weaker man After the top of the mountain was captured overnight, the bandit leader was deliberately let go.

In desperation, the bandit leader had no choice but to take the risk, with the attitude of giving it a try, and came to the government to find a way to survive, and the next thing was naturally conceivable.

When the bandit leader arrived at the government and reported his life, not only was he not beheaded, but he thought he was the first person to report. Bai Juyi directly gave it to a military lord who commanded an army of 2000 people.

This time, the other snitches couldn't sit still when they saw it. Who would want to live with the title of traitor for the rest of their lives if they could be accepted by the court?Even if you don't think about yourself, you must always think about future generations.

All of a sudden, all the thieves and desperadoes in the entire Changsha County went to the government to report, excluding those who could not go to the battlefield, there were still more than [-] people!
When Bai Juyi saw such a huge crowd, he was also taken aback. He really didn't expect that there were so many hidden thieves in Changsha County!

Fortunately, these people are now under the control of the court, which is not an unacceptable thing.

Finally, after deliberation, Bai Juyi asked King Xiang for an army name for these people, called the Sin Army; it means that all the people in this army are waiting for sins. Make your mark on the battlefield!
As long as the military exploits have accumulated to a certain level, not only can the crime be exonerated, but also the title of marquis and official can be granted.

At the beginning, there were only 5000 people in the army to be punished. After reorganization and screening, a large army of [-] desperate people was obtained. The combat effectiveness was very terrifying. , are not necessarily comparable to this army of criminals.

From then on, Changsha County was governed, and Bai Juyi's reputation spread throughout the Chu state. It didn't take long before Guan Zhong, the chancellor of the state, personally issued an order to mobilize Bai Juyi to return to Yingdu, and occupy such an important position as Zhi Su Neishi. It is said that on the day Bai Juyi returned to Yingdu, Xiangguo poured wine himself to apologize.
