Chapter 323: Casting a Sword into a Plowshare

On the way back to the army, Zhao Xing looked at the team that was a lot shorter than when he set out, and looked at the farmland and villages along the way that were ruined due to the lack of labor, and he really had mixed feelings.

"The world, why should there be war, there is no war, the people are happy, the world is peaceful, I hate war, this damn war."

Xu Jie looked at this real warmonger of the Warring States, and his eyes were full of disdain: "If there is no rise of the Tang Dynasty in this world, Lin Hu is still Lin Hu, Lou is still Lou Fu, Zhongshan still exists, and Zhao State will not be ambitious and eyeing the princes of the Central Plains, and Qin State may be able to dominate the world as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Xing glanced sideways at this guy who was specifically blocking himself, he was too kind to him, he was proud and carried away. Gotta knock knock him, or give him face.

But what Xu Jie said is right, if this Warring States is not under his own toss, the current Qiang Qin is striding forward on the road to greater prosperity.

And Zhao Guo is still fighting for Zhongshan, a henchman. Korea would lose Yiyang, and then Shangdang, and Wei would be further weakened by Chu. The Song State had already been destroyed by the Qi State, and the Five Nations Alliance of the Yan State had already attacked the Qi State, putting the Qi State on the path of almost annihilation.

The state of Chu continued to develop southward, constantly expanding their strategic depth, and the British, who were good to themselves, were also submerged in the hands of the kingdom of Jingchu.

And the most history-changing thing is that Zhou Tianzi was exiled by Qin, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has perished.

At this time, Zhao Xing really felt that he had really changed history. And where will the changed history go? That's what you have to face, or what you have to sketch, and it's the responsibility of you, the person who travels through.

"Sir is right, but I don't think it's my fault that changed history and the world. It's wrong that God shouldn't have brought me here, it's wrong that Zhao Yong and his courtiers shouldn't have forced me to leave, it's wrong that you always want to be a nobleman, don't you say? ”

Xu Jie opened his mouth and thought deeply.

Qin Mo said excitedly: "People's fate and circumstances are not determined by themselves, since we can't change our fate, then let's be happy and revenge." ”

Qin Mo was really excited, although he did not achieve the ultimate goal of digging the tomb of King Qin to avenge his mother, wife and children, but seizing Qin's Hetao and Shangjun, and beating the current King of Qin, it was enough to comfort the souls of his mother and wife and children in the sky, so that he could sleep peacefully.

Being able to sleep well and no longer wake up in the middle of the night when he was bitten by hatred was already Qin Mo's greatest happiness.

Zhao Xing's favorite thing is to disturb people's good dreams, and said to Qin Mo: "The war has come to an end for the time being, but the burden of our post-war reconstruction is heavier. Everyone must work tirelessly to keep up 100,000 spirits, let Datang recover and develop, and let our people live a stable and prosperous life again, otherwise, the people will scold Niangdi. ”

Hearing such words, the ministers who followed cheered for such a king who loved the people, this is the Tang Dynasty, always putting the well-being of the people first.

Back in the capital, the soldiers unexpectedly found that there was a magnificent Jingmen outside the city gate. Just when everyone was stunned, Zhao Xing jumped onto a high mountain of money, and now Zhao Xing is poor, and there is only money left. He loudly announced to the 1120,000 soldiers who had returned triumphantly: "My soldiers, the patron saints of the Tang Dynasty, I now declare that because of your outstanding military exploits, you have worked hard to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty and expand the land for our people." Then he raised his hands high and saluted the soldiers who had returned from the battle.

The soldiers who received such high praise knelt down and returned the salute, and shouted together: "Fight to the death for the Tang Dynasty, fight to the death for the Tang Dynasty." ”

"The widows and the people of the Tang Dynasty will remember your exploits, but the war is over for the time being. The widow now declares that it is time for you to lay down your swords and guns and return to your homeland for another war. ”

Everyone listened quietly.

"That war is a war to rebuild your homeland, and your weapons will be ploughshares, shovels, pickaxes, and whips. We have won a brilliant victory in the face of the enemy, and I hope that the soldiers of the outnumbered people will also win an even more brilliant victory in the war of mass production. ”

All the soldiers cheered together: "Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories." ”

Zhao Xing waited for everyone's cheers to finish, and stomped on the noisy Qian Mountain under his feet: "We have paid too much in this war, and now the entire Tang Dynasty can give you meritorious soldiers only money." Take this money and pass through this thorn, and you will be the people. But the widow hopes that when there is another war in the country, you will be the first group of people to respond to the call of the widow and continue to fight for the country. ”

All the soldiers shouted together: "If you have a battle, you will return." ”

One by one, the soldiers passed through Jingmen, put down their weapons, untied their armor, and then moved to take the heavy money from the hands of Zhao Xing, their king, and walked home with a desire for a new life.

Faced with these elite soldiers leaving one by one, Zhao Xing really couldn't bear to give up. But there is no way, there is only so much population in the Tang Dynasty, and even fewer young and strong, and continuing to maintain an army of 100,000 will not only continue to consume the already empty treasury, but also make the society lack enough labor.

Without labor, it is unrealistic to want to recover from the wounds of war and revitalize society. Because, in this war, only the land was captured, but there was no income from the population and slaves, and the newly acquired land, the Qin people withdrew, and the Tang people needed to fill it. Therefore, Zhao Xing agreed to the cabinet's suggestion to disband the soldiers and go home.

At the same time, he is also expressing his determination to stop the war to the other vassal states, mainly to the Qin State - everyone rest assured, I won't fight, let's live a good life.

However, Zhao Xing left officers above the rank of captain, selected 2,000 soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in this battle, and expanded his Junqiu Shi battalion.

These are the core of the army, as long as they are there, once the war resumes, it will be an army of hundreds of thousands in the blink of an eye. The war will not go away, when I come to a better time, your little life will be over, and your stable life will be shattered by me again, you wait.

More than 100,000 laborers have been liberated, and they have returned home with enough severance pay and should be called recovery pay to reunite with their relatives. Then they were targeted by factories and mines all over the country in a blink of an eye, and before they sat on the hot kang head, and before they could tell their wives and children about their parting feelings, they were pulled into the factories and mines, and they were driven into the fields by the head of Lizheng Village with wooden sticks, and began a vigorous large-scale production action.

The speed of restoring the homeland is beginning to unfold in Datang at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A prosperous Tang Dynasty can be expected, and a tiger is becoming stronger.
