Chapter 67 He wants to personally lead 50,000 new troops to go south to Handan.
Zhao Shu used iron and blood methods to cleanse the unstable factors in the city, stabilize the food price, and issued several orders to stabilize Xindu City.
Especially after the establishment of the New Army, Zhao Shu conducted several consecutive bandit suppression operations and eliminated the horse bandits that had been entrenched around Xindu for several years.
Further gained the hearts of the people.
Only then did the people of Xindu gradually return to their hearts.
Now the Xindu Order continues to popularize Qin's laws and encourages farming and production. Everything is developing in a good direction.
At this time, Zhao Shu looked at the edict and military symbols sent by Zhao Gao, and he had the idea of going south.
After fighting for several months, he finally achieved the title of Bu Geng. However, Zhao Shu had greater expectations in his heart, and the title of Bu Geng was a bit low.
If he wants to gain a foothold in the Qin Dynasty, he must at least be a concubine and a noble, so he must participate in the Battle of Handan.
After thinking about this, Zhao Shu explained the Xindu Order in the Xindu Order's official office, and at the same time, he left three thousand Qin warriors to Yasuo.
He wanted to personally lead 50,000 new troops and march south to Handan.
Although the 50,000 new troops were all composed of Zhao people, Zhao Shu knew that as long as the new troops joined Yang Duanhe and others, they would be safe and sound.
After participating in the Battle of Handan, this army will be completely integrated into the elite warriors of the Qin Dynasty and become the loyal guards of the Qin Dynasty.
"drive."
Ten thousand cavalry and forty thousand infantry left Xindu and rushed to the battlefield. Moreover, it was Handan, the capital of these people's homeland.
The whole army felt a little depressed, even Zhao Shu.
After all, the large army he leads may mutiny at any time, and now there are only a hundred short soldiers beside him, who belong to the real Qin army.
The army was not marching very fast.
"General, it's getting late. Do you want to spend the night here?" After hearing the news from Sima of the Chinese Army, Zhao Shu looked up at the sky and nodded.
"The Chinese army was ordered to set up camp, and the Huotou army was preparing food. At the same time, the scout camp was ordered to conduct inspections to ensure that everything was safe in the camp."
"promise."
In the shogunate, Zhao Shu looked solemn. The distance between Xindu and Handan was not far, but not close either. It would take at least three days.
After today, we have to trek for two days before we can meet up with Yang Duanhe. The army has set up camp here, and tonight is the most dangerous.
"Fen, let the short soldiers keep an eye on the point secretly, whether it's the Huotou Army, the Chinese Army, or the Scout Battalion..."
There was a solemn look in Zhao Shu's eyes, and he said in a faint tone: "I hope that Yang Duan and the general will get the news and come to greet me."
"promise."
Half an hour later, the smoke was curling up from the cooking pots, and the smell of meat was overflowing. This time, Zhao Shu had brought enough rations to head south to Handan.
The food in the army is very good.
When Fen brought the food, Zhao Shu took a look at it and said, "Let the soldiers take turns to eat separately. After everything is eaten, let the soldiers gather together."
"I will do some ideological mobilization so that these soldiers will have no worries."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Fen left the shogunate. Zhao Shu knew clearly that these soldiers were the lowest level of Xindu, common people.
They have love for the State of Zhao, but they want to live even more and want to change their current lives.
As long as there is a weakness, he can easily take advantage of it. As soon as he thought of this, a smile flashed across Zhao Shu's eyes, and he started to eat.
Half an hour later, Fen walked into the shogunate again and said to Zhao Shu: "General, there is no news from the scouts. A group of scouts have been replaced."
"The generals and officers have gathered together, just wait for the general to pass."
"Well, tell the short soldiers to follow me over." Zhao Shu said with a sharp look in his eyes: "Let the short soldiers prepare just in case."
"promise."
After a while, Zhao Shu was escorted by short soldiers and stepped onto the temporary commander's platform. Looking at the black soldiers, his heart was filled with excitement.
These soldiers were created by him. In the future, they will both prosper and suffer.
"Soldiers, we are about to arrive at Handan. The next war will not be as simple as us fighting the horse bandits."
Zhao Shu looked at the soldiers with sharp eyes and said word by word: "In the next war, you and I may die."
"Tell me, general, are you afraid?"
silence.
No one answered.
But the uneasiness and restlessness in the military is the best answer.
Zhao Shu had already understood this scene, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, you are all common people. If you want to survive, you can only cultivate the fields."
"However, in Great Qin, you can change this situation. Qin's law has established that as long as a soldier captures an enemy soldier, he can be promoted to a first-level title."
"Shang Jun stipulates that all those who serve in the army, regardless of their family background, will receive rewards according to the size of their military achievements."
"In our country, the Qin Dynasty, even the once-high-ranking royal clans must follow this standard. Members of the clan who have not made military achievements are not allowed to be included in the clan's books, and they are not allowed to have titles."
"In Da Qin, if a man dies in battle, his credit can be recorded on his son's head. If one person gets military merit, the whole family can benefit."
Looking at the army that gradually became quiet and the atmosphere became solemn, Zhao Shu's cold voice sounded again.
"Everyone, as long as you reach the lowest title of Duke, you can receive a salary of fifty dan per year, and at the same time enjoy 150 acres of land, a house, and a servant."
"And if you are promoted to the next level of "Shangzao", you can receive a salary of one hundred dan per year, enjoy two residences, and have two people."
Looking at the fire and desire in the eyes of the soldiers below, Zhao Shu said loudly: "I joined the army two months ago to participate in the Battle of Wu'an, and then participated in the Battle of Xindu."
"Two months ago, I, like all of you, had a white body. I was even worse than you. You are just Chinese, and I am a member of Lishan's service staff."
"After the Battle of Wu'an, the King of Qin granted him a title. After the Battle of Xindu, I was promoted to the third level of title here. Now I have not changed my title."
"That means you can be exempted from military service."
"Soldiers, I am summoning you all today because I want to tell you that the princes and generals are very kind to each other."
"As long as you are willing to die for our Great Qin, you can become nobles, start a family, and let your descendants live a life of fine clothing and fine food."
At this point, Zhao Shi's tone became fierce: "Tell me, general, are you afraid?"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
There were three shouts of killing, one louder than the other. Seeing this scene, Zhao Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Profit is the key.
In this era, nobility is the symbol of everything. No one wants to become a nobility or change their own destiny and the destiny of their family.
The military merit title system of the Great Qin Dynasty is a system that realizes this kind of class jump. This is also the biggest reason why the elite warriors of the Great Qin Dynasty have unparalleled combat power.
