Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 141

The "postman" in the Qin Dynasty was equivalent to today's postman. Contrary to what most people think, my country has developed a relatively complete postal service in the Qin Dynasty. It can not only deliver official documents and orders for the government, but also deliver letters from home for private mail.

In order to prevent the "postman" from wasting time due to laziness, according to the regulations, the "postman" needs to record the places and mileage they pass every day, and the officials who receive the letter even need to record the detailed time of receiving the letter for their superiors to check. .

Ziying tied the bamboo slips with a rope, pasted them with sealing mud, and then stamped his own seal on the mud, and then sent someone to quietly send them to Pingyu post in the evening.

All his actions seemed to be making small reports behind Wang Jian's back.

……

Early the next morning, before dinner was served in the army, Bao Sheng came to Ziying's tent with dark circles on his face. It was obvious that Bao Sheng didn't have a good rest last night.

"After returning to the account yesterday, I thought about it from left to right. If your lord wants to take Qin's army's heart, is the only way to give it to you with your heart?"

"What do you mean by this sir?" Ziying questioned.

"In the past, Wu Qi was the general of Wei, and he and the lowest soldiers shared the same food and clothing. They did not lay seats when they lay down, and they did not ride on horseback. If the soldiers had gangrene, they started to suck them. The dead mother cried when she heard it. People said: 'The son is also a pawn. , and the general sucked his own gangrene, why cry?' Mother said: "That's not true. In the past, Wu Gong sucked his father, but his father died in the enemy's battle. Now Wu Gong sucked his son, and the concubine didn't know his death. That’s why. I’m crying.’”

Bao Sheng didn't answer Ziying directly, but told Ziying a record of Wu Qi's time in Wei Dynasty.

The story of Wu Qi sucking abscess was well-known in his previous life, so Ziying is naturally well aware of this narration.

When Bao Sheng said this, Ziying understood the general idea. However, this matter is easy to say, but there are very few generals who can do this, especially in the current situation where the relationship between ranks is very clear. era.

The soldiers at the lowest level even a small corporal leader would call and drink to them on weekdays without being polite.Even if Ziying just said a word to them, it might be enough to make them grateful.

And the effect of doing so is extremely obvious.

People are animals with emotions. If this kind of emotion is used properly, it can even destroy national laws and regulations, just like the soldier who was sucked by Wu Qi's abscess. Emotions can also be used to kill people, and they are willing to die!

"It's just that this method is a bit hard, sir!" Bao Sheng said helplessly.

"The only way to become a master is to endure hardships, and this kind of suffering is nothing." Ziying said nonchalantly.

Isn't it just a little bit of hard work? In Ziying's view, it's no big deal. 60 Qin soldiers can live a life. Ziying thinks that he has absolutely no problem.

"Bao Sheng, I would like to agree with you." Seeing what Ziying said, Bao Sheng immediately expressed his opinion.

"I don't know how we should do it?" Ziying asked.

Bao Sheng understood that what Ziying asked about specific actions this time was how to proceed.

Immediately, he expressed his thoughts to Ziying in detail.

The Qin Army has a large number of people, with a joint camp of more than ten miles, each with two to five hundred masters as a battalion, and a total of nearly six hundred Qin Army camps have been erected on the land stretching for more than ten miles.

Baosheng's advice to Ziying was that, at worst, he would go to all the camps of the Qin army.

Go to the first battalion to eat food, then exchange feelings with the sergeants in the battalion, feed and then go to another battalion to eat, and then continue to exchange feelings, and the cycle continues the next day.

Go to the barracks for two meals a day, and you can go through two battalions every day, so that you can contact all 60 Qin troops for one round in less than a day.

And as a military supervisor, Ziying can naturally mobilize some of the military supplies. Every time he goes to a military camp, he can bring some meat, wine and other rare things to the camp in the name of condolences, so as to further buy people's hearts.

The time of the ancient court meal converted to today’s time is about nine o’clock in the morning. Ziying took a look at the sky and saw that it was still too early for the court meal, so he said to Bao Sheng: “Please follow my order to prepare some meat. The morning meal begins."

Now that the decision has been made, Ziying has no habit of procrastinating, and Dang even decides to start his big business of eating together from today.

Holding Ziying's token, Baosheng got some meat and wine, and arranged for several sergeants to deliver them. Ziying and Baosheng then went to the barracks closest to his camp.

When Ziying and Baosheng arrived, they were just in time for the camp to bury pots for cooking. As soon as Ziying entered the camp, a sergeant who saw Ziying recognized Ziying's identity.

He hurried to inform the commander-in-chief of the battalion, Nie Yi, the two or five hundred masters.

Ziying can be said to be the second only to Wang Jian in the military ranks of the army that attacked Chu this time, and in terms of status and title, it is higher than Wang Jian. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most respected one among the 60 troops.

Hearing that Ziying had arrived at his camp, Nie Yi rushed over in a hurry without caring about arranging his military uniform.

"I don't know that Lord Chang'an is coming, but Nie Yi is far away to meet him, and I hope His Highness will forgive me!" Nie Yi came to Ziying, saluted Ziying, and hurriedly confessed his crime.

"What is the crime of General Nie? Ziying came here without asking and disturbed General Nie." Ziying said with a smile: "The soldiers have worked hard to prepare for the battle. Ying brought some wine and meat to comfort the soldiers."

After finishing speaking, the soldiers in charge of transport unloaded the wine and meat from the car.

Ziying spoke like a spring breeze, although he was a king, but he was polite to Nie Yi, a master of two or five hundred people, talking and laughing, Nie Yi also slowly released from the tension when Ziying arrived come out.

"I heard about the benevolence and righteousness of Lord Chang'an earlier, but now I see it for sure!" Nie Yi thought to himself.

At this time, the news of Mr. Chang'an's arrival had spread rapidly in the camp as if he had grown wings. It didn't take long for all the soldiers in the first battalion to basically know the news that Mr. Chang'an had come to comfort the soldiers in the camp.

At this time, the imperial eclipse was approaching, so the soldiers did not train. After hearing the news for a while, a circle was formed around Ziying and Nie Yi.

This is His Majesty Chang'an Lord, even if he can take a few more glances, when he returns to his village to meet those fellow villagers whom even the county magistrate can't see, he will be bragging about it.

Seeing this, Nie Yi's expression changed. In his opinion, although Lord Chang'an is known for being benevolent, he may not be willing to get close to these soldiers who are not even interested in taking a bath and have a strong smell all over their bodies.

Thinking of this, Nie Yi immediately frowned, turned around, and sternly reprimanded the onlookers: "How decent are you, why don't you hurry up, if it's not itchy skin, you want to taste the power of my iron whip!" taste!"

Seeing this, Ziying hurriedly stepped forward to stop Nie Yi from reprimanding the soldiers.If he came and gave the soldiers a whip, then it would be the opposite.

"General Nie rests the thunder and anger, and the soldiers can just look at them as they want!" The purpose of my coming is these soldiers of the Qin army. At this moment, the soldiers of the battalion are all gathered together. Isn't this a good opportunity.

Then he said loudly to the surrounding soldiers: "Comrades, don't be frightened, General Nie was just joking, wasn't he?"

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Nie Yi who was looking aside.
