The so-called collapse means that the city has lost its ability to resist, or the people in the city have surrendered.
The Jin army entered "Linzi", but only part of the resistance inside was eliminated. Many people wanted to resist but because no one could stand up and give orders, they failed to form an effective resistance.
Zhiyao personally invited the merchants to speak, but only gave a guarantee that they would not kill or plunder. Without saying anything more, he sent troops to guard them.
The merchants who lost their freedom were panicked, and then Zigong came.
The order Zigong received was to discuss purchasing matters with merchants. Of course, the purchase was not done in "Linzi". He told the merchants what types of goods Zhi needed and invited the merchants to bring the goods to Zhi's fief. It would definitely be cash on delivery.
.
This move was very scheming, and the merchant suddenly lost the panic in his heart, and turned into calculating how many products he could produce for Zhi's needs, and how the price should be set at that time.
The reason is very simple. What they received was not an empty promise not to do harm, but a related follow-up exchange of benefits. Being needed meant that the Jin army did not have the intention to kill or plunder.
"The crowd is raging, and Yao has given orders first, so it's difficult for Geng to do anything!" Han Geng didn't know whether he was explaining or trying to regain his respect.
Zhiyao thought to herself: "If you are tough or have the ability to solve emergencies, will they dare to surround you?"
Zhi Yao did not accuse him, not because he had any scruples, but simply because he did not want to teach Han Geng to be smart.
Zigong came back and reported: "The rest of us have agreed to go to Jin next year."
In the final analysis, it is not a premise of equalizing the people. What the Jin army does to "Linzi" has nothing to do with those merchants. Just don't mess with them.
If they are Qi people and merchants, unless they have strong patriotism, their first consideration is their own wealth and life.
As for patriotism? Nowadays, family, country, and world are all in the true sense, and family comes before country.
In addition, in fact, people nowadays have a relatively vague concept of nation, and the concept of country is only a preliminary ideology.
When it comes to loyalty, people nowadays have a relatively sufficient concept and are willing to sacrifice in order to be loyal to someone.
Zhiyao looked into the city frequently, feeling that Zhao Bolu was dragging his feet.
"Prince Zhao has left the palace. When the people of Qi saw the team carrying ritual vessels, they all rushed to attack." Wei Ju came over, and the team representing the escort of Qi's ritual vessels was behind.
What are today's ritual utensils used for? They are needed on all kinds of important occasions. Generally, losing a ritual utensil will either mean the country will be destroyed, or it will mean great misfortune.
Zhiyao was a little speechless. He had told Zhao Bolu before that if Qi Ren went crazy, he would threaten to destroy the ritual utensils. It seemed that Zhao Bolu had either forgotten or deliberately failed to send a message to intimidate Qi Ren.
"Zhao's retainers didn't allow it, right? They've already robbed everything. Why are you thinking about other concerns?" Zhiyao didn't quite understand their brain circuits.
Zhiyao sent people to spread the word, which effectively frightened the people of Qi.
By the way, what exactly are ritual vessels? It’s not just a tripod. They are generally cooking utensils, wine vessels, water vessels, musical instruments and miscellaneous utensils. Each category covers many sub-categories, and each type of ritual vessel has its own
Belonging to its usage, the importance of the tripod is relatively high.
Behind them, Zhiyao narrowed her eyes when she saw the dignitaries of Qi State who were being escorted out together.
In the future, when a country's powerful people are captured, they are either extorted to the extreme or brought back to the country for humiliation.
Now? Blackmail or humiliation cannot be done, and sufficient courtesy must be given.
In fact, Zhiyao never thought about occupying "Linzi", the capital of the Qi State. The main reason for coming was to make a name for himself, and the goal was to obtain the ritual objects of the Qi State. Unexpectedly, he also obtained the powerful dignitaries of the Qi State.
This big gift package.
"Don't be slow to treat people with courtesy. This is a courtesy. If there is a fierce situation, kill one or two people as a deterrent. This is a hegemony." Zhiyao ordered.
To put it simply, it is Wang Ba Dao Zazhi.
The Jin troops who entered the city were completely withdrawn, but the chaos in the city had just begun.
The Qi State has had a characteristic since the period of Qi Linggong (Lü Guang). At the national level, the Qi people were encouraged to be brave and fierce. The atmosphere initially increased the martial spirit of the Qi State, but the negative effect was to make the Qi State have a very
Lots of ruffians and gangsters.
"Linzi" is the capital of Qi State, and it is a city with a strong commercial atmosphere. There are not too many ruffians and gangsters in the city.
A city in chaos is a disaster for ordinary people, but a chaotic situation is the best opportunity for ruffians and gangsters to do all kinds of mischief. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, it will be in vain!
Zhiyao asked Zhao Bolu to place the carriage carrying the tripod at the front, and then arranged other queue issues.
After everything was ready, the Jin army evacuated without any hesitation.
"The state of Qi will perish?"
People from all over the world were confused when they saw that the Jin army had robbed Qi's ritual vessels.
Similar things usually happen when the capital of a certain country is conquered, the ancestral temple is destroyed by the occupying forces, and the ritual vessels become the trophies of the victorious party, and then the country that loses the ritual vessels dies.
Some Qi people were howling, but they were just wailing and did not do any unnecessary things.
More people in Qi are just confused and have no other feelings. This is also the reason why the sense of belonging is not strong. It would not be the case if the national consciousness is strong.
Zhiyao led his army to retreat, arrogantly taking the main road to the west. Halfway through the retreat, he met the Qi nobles who led troops. The Jin army was still extremely arrogant, as if the Qi people dared to attack, but they would be forced to destroy them.
The posture of ritual utensils.
Regarding the fact that "Linzi" was invaded by the Jin army and the ritual utensils were taken away, news slowly spread to the surrounding areas. More and more Qi nobles came with private troops to intercept them, and then each one became an "escort"
The evacuation team.
They really didn't dare to attack the Jin army where Zhiyao was. It wasn't a matter of whether they could win the fight. It was entirely because no one dared to guarantee that the ritual vessels would not be damaged. Once the ritual vessels were damaged, even if they sent this Jin army
It's useless to kill each one with a thousand swords.
A rather strange scene happened!
The Jin army penetrated deep into the belly of Qi State and retreated in a swaggering manner. At the same time, a large number of Qi people followed behind them. Qi people from all over heard the news and rushed over, joining the ranks that were following the Jin army.
Because the Jin army had taken away Qi's ritual vessels, they did not dare to take any violent action. They were not high enough and could not send people to talk to the Jin army.
Because the matter is too big, and there are too many people from various countries in "Linzi", Zhiyao and others have really achieved achievements that are famous among countries this time. It doesn't matter whether the reputation is positive or negative, anyway, no one has achieved anything like this.
Everyone must admit that achievement is a skill.
In this way, when the news spread to the "Puyang" war zone where the fighting was fierce, the monarchs and ministers on the Qi side were completely confused, and even Qi's allies were dumbfounded. Everyone on the Jin side had no idea what to say.
"Yao will lead his army to conquer Qidu?" Zhizong knew in advance that Zhiyao was going to lead his army to take the risk. He was confident that Zhiyao would not be in danger even if he failed. While he did not stop him, he wanted to see what Zhiyao could do.
To which step.
Zhao Yang belongs to the category of people who do not know anything in advance.
The reason is that Zhiyao only told Zhao Bolu halfway, what Wei Ju and Han Buxin were going to do.
At that time, they had already penetrated deeply into the Qi State. Even if Zhao Bolu, Wei Ju and Han Buxin wanted to seek their father's opinion, it was too late.
"Plundering its national treasures?" Zhisong was a little confused.
What a reckless thing to do!
What they didn't understand was how the Qi State allowed five to six thousand Jin troops to occupy "Linzi", especially the ancestral temple area of the palace city.
The last time "Xintian" also encountered a crisis, Zhongxing Yin marched to "Xintian" within twenty miles and chose to withdraw. However, Rong Di subsequently launched a sneak attack on "Xintian".
At that time, due to the need to pursue Zhongxing Yin, "Xintian" only had two "brigades" of troops left, but more than 20,000 soldiers and soldiers were blocked outside the city. During the whole process, "Xintian" remained as stable as gold.
.
They fought a battle with the allied forces of the princes in "Puyang". The fighting was very intense. Thousands of soldiers from both sides lost their lives on the battlefield every day, and the number of casualties was definitely higher.
In addition, Wei Chi has been leading his troops to block the Song Army and Zheng Army. The brutality on their side is not inferior to that of the "Puyang" battlefield.
Generally speaking, the Jin State still occupies a certain advantage, and whether it can conquer "Puyang" is temporarily unknown.
After all, any subversion is likely to occur before the final result occurs.
"This battle is a win!" Zhao Yang said.
No one objects to this.
Zhiyao's lone army penetrated deep into the hinterland of Qi State and once caused "Linzi" to fall. This alone could force the Qi army to leave the "Puyang" battlefield and return for reinforcements.
Zhao Yang said again: "I need to attack fiercely to prevent the Qi army from returning to reinforcements!"
Of course Zhi Yao knew about this, and he also knew that once the Qi army returned for reinforcements, Zhi Yao's lone army would become extremely dangerous.
The rest of the Qi people were unable to attack Zhiyao's troops because they were afraid that the ritual vessels would be damaged.
Of course, Qi Jun Chujiu also had scruples, but as a king of a country, he would have less scruples. If he became ruthless and wanted to annihilate Zhiyao's troops, he would just damage the ritual vessels and do it later.
Zhizong, Zhao Yang and others discussed for a while, and when they had almost come up with a response plan, someone hurried over to report.
"Qi Jun's white uniform!"
What the hell?
This is because some important figure has died. It is very likely that the king of a country has passed away, or else he has not reached the level of etiquette required to wear white uniforms in the army.
Later, news came, confirming their suspicion that Qi Junchujiu had passed away.
Zhizong's face suddenly became very gloomy, and at the same time, he was worried that public opinion would be detrimental to Zhiyao.
What are you doing!
The capital of Qi State, "Linzi", fell for a time and the country's important weapons were plundered. Then Qi Jun Chujiu passed away. The world will definitely think that Qi Jun Chujiu was so angry that he was forced to die by Zhiyao.
Even in the late Spring and Autumn Period, it was still a bad thing to have the reputation of driving a king to death.
Zhao Yang was overjoyed and thought: "As soon as Qi Jun dies, I can fully counterattack!"
It’s just that once Zhao Yang knew that the person who robbed Qi’s ritual utensils was Zhao Bolu, I wonder if he would still be able to laugh?
