These soldiers don't know how to talk about truth, and their answer is simply to kill directly.
Although they were Zhao people and had lived in Xindu for generations, they should have died for Zhao. However, Zhao general Yan Ju surrendered and they lost their backbone.
Because of the war and the officials in Xindu, they had no land, no food to eat, and were only one step away from starving to death.
However, Zhao Shu gave them a chance to survive, borrowing food and dividing their fields, giving them hope.
Moreover, after joining the army, not only will you be exempted from taxes for three years, but you will not have to repay the grain you owe the government. If you kill the enemy and perform meritorious service in the war, you will also be rewarded with a title, which will change the fate of your family.
For the people at the bottom, Zhao Shu's move was a great kindness to them, and they could only repay it by death.
Therefore, they regarded themselves as Qin people, and then became the elites of Qin.
"Yasuo, you will serve as the deputy general. As for Xindu coming in for training, we must increase our combat effectiveness within a short period of time." Zhao Shu turned his head and gave instructions to Yasuo next to him.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Yasufu felt solemn in his heart. He knew clearly that Zhao Shu was simply dancing on the tip of a knife.
If it is tempered and the Qin army composed of Zhao people rebels, not only will the letter be lost, but they will also die in it.
But Zhao Shu is the commander-in-chief, and when military orders are issued, as a subordinate, he can only obey them.
Moreover, Yasuo also knew that three thousand men might be able to defend Shinto, but they would not be able to break the war situation.
........
Outside Handan City.
The shogunate of the Qin army.
"General, the special envoy from Xindu has arrived and sent a letter from Zhao Shu, the general of Xindu." Sima of the Chinese Army walked into the shogunate and said to Yang Duanhe: "It has been checked and the identity is confirmed."
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Yang Duanhe took the copper pipe from the Central Army Sima, looked at the mud seal, then opened the copper pipe and took out the silk book from it.
Taking a breath of cold air, Yang Duanhe yelled: "This kid is really brave, he's crazy!"
"General, what's wrong?" Xin Sheng couldn't help but speak quickly when he saw Yang Duanhe's expression changed.
Passing the silk book over, Yang Duanhe said in a deep voice: "Zhao Shu killed everyone in Xindu, recruited 50,000 young men to form an army, and is training in Xindu."
Xin Sheng was horrified after reading the silk book. He did not expect that Zhao Shu was so audacious. He dared to recruit 50,000 Zhao people with only three thousand Qin troops. Wasn't he afraid of backlash?
Hastily suppressing the fear in his heart, Xin Sheng raised his head and said, "General, how should we deal with this matter?"
"If it is not handled properly, not only will the fifty thousand Zhao people and Xindu be lost, but Zhao Shu and others will also be in danger."
Snapped!
Yang Duanhe stood up and said angrily: "He has done everything he has done so far, what else can they do."
"The person who contacted Heibingtai will report the matter to the King truthfully and ask for His Majesty's decision."
"At the same time, a special envoy from the army was sent to Xianyang to tell Li Si and Zhang Han about the matter."
Hearing this, Xin Sheng nodded.
Zhao Shu was promoted by Li Si and Zhang Han. He rose up under their hands and was considered one of theirs. Naturally, he would not let it go.
But they all know that every move of the Qin army is in the eyes of Hei Bingtai and the one in Xianyang.
At this moment, they have no other choice but to tell the truth.
"No, I'll do it right away!" Xin Sheng nodded and left. Deep in Yang Duanhe's eyes, besides worry, there was also a trace of expectation.
It is not impossible to use the people in the occupied areas as soldiers, but to do this requires extremely strong personal charm and control skills.
In the whole world, those who can do this are all famous generals in the world, and they are also famous generals who are victorious in every battle.
The most important thing is that Zhao Shu's move contains elements of transgression. The specific punishment depends on Xianyang's wishes.
........
Xianyang.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Heibingtai." The commander of Heibingtai in Xianyang put the copper pipe on the desk and withdrew.
Ying Zheng checked the mud seal, then opened it and took out the silk book. Since the matter had already been done, it was stated directly on the silk book.
"Kill aristocratic families, threaten merchants, stabilize food prices, distribute land to the people, lend food to the people, resume production, repair city walls..."
When I first read it, Ying Zheng was still very satisfied with what he did in Xindu. Zhao Shu could be regarded as a capable official.
However, when he saw the end, he couldn't help but frown.
The last part of the silk book reads: Zhao Shu recruited 50,000 young men to form an army, and offered them incentives, exempting them from taxes for three years and exempting them from repaying grain...
After a while, Ying Zheng put down the silk book and spoke to the commander of Heibingtai, "Has the identity of Zhao Shu been verified?"
"Your Majesty, Heibingtai has verified Zhao Shu's identity. Zhao Shu is fourteen years old and a native of Yongcheng. His ancestors have been from the Qin Dynasty for generations."
The commander of Heibingtai spoke solemnly: "My ancestors died in the battle, more than ten people, and now only Zhao Shu's family exists. His father also went to the battlefield to fight for the country."
"His ancestor is the young master Jichang..."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. Regarding the genealogy, he still remembered clearly that Xian Gong had three sons.
The eldest son Ying Qian, the middle son Ying Quliang, and the youngest son Ying Jichang.
After careful calculation, Zhao Shu's lineage can also be regarded as the royal bloodline, but the bloodline in it is already weak.
After all, they belong to Xiaogong's lineage, while Zhao Shu belongs to Ying Jichang's lineage. After all, they are almost in the fifth server.
"Biography of Li Si, Wang Wan, and Wei Liao."
"promise."
Watching the leader of the Black Ice Platform leave, a smile appeared on Ying Zheng's lips. At least there was no problem with Zhao Shu's identity. Even though the royal bloodline was weak, he was still better than the wise old Qin people.
It's just that Zhao Shu's performance in Xindu, both literary and military, was amazing, which made Ying Zheng interested.
Due to the issue of the clan's alignment, the clan was suppressed by him, resulting in the Qin clan having less and less influence on the court.
Moreover, in these years, there has not been a single person with amazing talent and beauty in the clan.
This made Ying Zheng a little helpless. Not to mention the clan, even among his descendants, they were only ordinary people, and no great talents were born.
The appearance of Zhao Shu gave Ying Zheng a glimmer of hope. His generation could suppress the courtiers without the need for a clan, but he could not guarantee the next generation.
How could someone who grew up in the hands of a woman in a deep palace suppress a proud and powerful general who had experienced the unification war? Ying Zheng understood this deeply.
Therefore, he wanted to reorganize the clan and leave backup for Fusu to ensure the stability of the Qin Dynasty.
From Ying Zheng's point of view, it is naturally clear that after the world is unified, it will be the most complicated and chaotic time.
