At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 83 Strong and cowardly

After the exchange with Tianzang, Zhou Zhang found Xu Fan and repeated the conversation between him, Xiang Biao and Jing Yi, and then said with a bitter smile: "It's such internal fighting again, they really don't learn a lesson, the lord has to guard against them .”

Xu Fan didn't take it seriously. Although the nobles received sufficient education, as a whole, their IQ was not much higher than that of idiots. Otherwise, they would not have been suppressed by the First Emperor. In the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty, they lost to the flat-headed Liu Bang. The common people.

Xu Fan never thought that this group had any profound vision. What they were best at was eating the foundation of their country as giant rats. Even if they chewed off the bottom of the ship, they wouldn't care. For the sake of profit, they don't even have the simplest common sense, and they can tell why they don't do "Essentially starve to death, especially the mantis with its arms". Even a hero like Zhu Yuanzhang who fought in troubled times would say, "Why don't you sue the officials?" ’ Otherwise, how could there be a saying that the lesson humans have learned in history is that humans cannot learn any lessons in history.

But now the rebels really can't let them fight among themselves. They have already given these powerful men a blow. Now they can't kill them, they can only give them a sweet date.

Xu Fan said: "Our rebels will re-establish the National People's Assembly and let them join. The rebels can bring all major matters concerning Chen County to the National People's Assembly for discussion. The National People's Assembly can supervise the county magistrates and county guards of the rebels, so that their Rights and interests can also be protected.”

Zhou Zhang said in surprise: "National People's Congress!"

This was an institution from three generations ago to the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, Chinese people were equivalent to knights in the Western world. They were the descendants of nobles and had the right to fight as soldiers and the right to obtain fiefs.

With the chaos of the Warring States Period, the scale of wars became more and more frequent. The people of the country were no longer enough to support the wars between the princes. Savages could also become soldiers. The importance of the people of the country declined, so the political rights were taken away by the nobles and monarchs. Well, by the Warring States Period, there were no National People's Congresses in all countries in the world.

Zhou Zhang hesitated and said: "This kind of disappearing organization can be useful."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Just give them a sweet date to stop them from causing trouble with our rebels."

Zhou Zhang told Jing Yi and Xiang Biao with Xu Fan's intention. After discussing the arrangements for a while, these powerful people felt that although they could supervise the rebels, compared with the wealth they lost, the rebels' supplement was far from enough, and they had to put forward more conditions. when.

The general trend of the world changed again. Wu Guang was defeated in Yingchuan County. The defeat was extremely tragic and almost the entire army was wiped out. Wu Guang was captured by the Qin army. The Yingchuan rebel army was almost wiped out. Jing Yi and Xiang Biao were frightened when they got the news. He no longer dared to fight for power with the rebels, but quickly escaped from his lair.

Zhou Zhang was so angry at his old friend's behavior that he cursed him directly.

Xu Fan, on the other hand, smiled and said: "Aren't all the powerful nobles in the world like this? They have big ambitions but little wisdom, they are fierce but timid. Otherwise, how could they be easily suppressed by the First Emperor? There is no need to spend more energy on them, but think about it." Think about how to deal with the menacing Qin army."

The restoration of Wei and Qi made the First Emperor furious. What made the First Emperor even more embarrassed was that his eldest son Fusu, who was not like his father, wrote to him in Shangjun, saying that the people of the world could no longer bear the oppression, which led to the current situation. In response to the chaos in the Central Plains, he suggested that the First Emperor reduce taxes, taxes, and corvee services and recuperate, so that ordinary people would not defect to the rebels, and the rebellion in the Central Plains could be easily suppressed.

It was this suggestion that made the First Emperor angry like never before. When Fusu said these words before, he could only regard them as the nonsense of Fusu's child who was ignorant of the world.

But this time the First Emperor also understood in his heart that what his eldest son Fusu said was correct. It was such truth that stung the First Emperor and made it unbearable. He had won all his life and defeated Lu Buwei. The relatives of Chu and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms are now old and old, but they have to experience a failure. This is something that the First Emperor cannot accept. This will damage his achievements and reputation after his death. As his body ages, the immortal With no trace left, the First Emperor's dream of immortality was shattered, and he was now increasingly behind his back. And he didn’t think there was anything bad about Qin’s system. It had not always been like this for hundreds of years, and it was not only extremely difficult to change Qin’s policies, but also the denial of his achievements in his lifetime was difficult for the First Emperor to accept.

So the First Emperor not only reprimanded Fusu, the eldest son in Shangjun, but also sent an envoy to reprimand Feng Jie, thinking that it was his inaction that caused the rebellion in the Central Plains to grow.

"I cited your talents and sent them to fight against the rebellion, hoping that your wisdom and courage would unify the Central Plains and restore peace. However, I heard that the rebels were powerful and wanted to make more preparations, which displeased me.

I am sending an envoy here with an imperial edict to rebuke you. Your Majesty was overconfident in countering the rebellion and acted without my permission. This disrespected my authority and undermined the laws and disciplines of the court.

As a general, you must obey my command and abide by the regulations of the court. I hope that you can carry out your mission carefully, follow the orders of the court, and ensure the peace and stability of the Central Plains region.

I hope you will recognize your mistake and promise not to make it again in the future. As an important minister of the imperial court, I hope you can lead by example, abide by discipline, and continue to contribute to the prosperity and tranquility of the country.

I am issuing this edict of rebuke, hoping that you will think deeply and change your ways. "

Sanchuan County, Qin Army Barracks.

The First Emperor's edict of rebuke silenced the entire camp. Generals like Feng Jie knew that the First Emperor was angry. If they failed to fight this battle, their future would be ruined.

Feng Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was unjustly reprimanded. At first, the entire empire thought that one army was just a small rebellion, and 6 troops were enough to suppress the rebellion.

But as soon as Feng Jie led his soldiers out of the customs, they encountered difficulties at all levels. The first difficulty was that the local governor prepared to train his soldiers poorly. They could not understand military orders and had no morale. Such soldiers simply could not Can't fight.

Feng Jie reprimanded the local prefects and governors for neglecting their armaments. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, people must serve in the military as long as they reach adulthood until they are 60 years old. When there is a war, soldiers go to the front line. When there is no war, they are usually busy with farm work. After the autumn harvest, they The soldiers are trained by local county captains and county captains. They work as farmers in their spare time and as soldiers in wartime. This is a system where soldiers and civilians are integrated. The combat effectiveness of this kind of soldiers is not bad (the ethnic minorities that have arisen in subsequent dynasties are basically herdsmen). The unified system shows that this system is still extremely advanced, and it took 2000 years of the feudal era.)

But these local officials also complained to Feng Jie. Although there had been no war in the Central Plains for nearly 10 years after the Baiyue War, the local corvee labor was too heavy. The local young men were either building Chi Road or building the Great Wall. We have to transport grain and grass, and now we have to build palaces. People have gone to do corvee service, so there is no training for soldiers.

Moreover, Xianyang's intention is not to let them train the people of Guandong counties too much. Now that the soldiers are not good, and they rely on them, this is not a trick.

　Let me talk about the fact that although Daliang was attacked by water, it was more than ten years ago. The reason why the rebels did not use water to attack was firstly because there was not enough time. Whether it was digging canals or waiting for water to soak and collapse the city walls, it would take a long time. Secondly, This kind of thing is extremely manpower-consuming, and the rebels don't have the manpower.
