Chapter 45: This Way!
Time passed slowly, two days passed in the blink of an eye, and now Zhao Cheng is very tired, as long as his spirit is relaxed, he wants to close his eyes and sleep, and it is best to use the word drowsy to describe Zhao Cheng at this time.
That's right, he hasn't slept for two more days, and he's been tinkering with his household registration, but fortunately, now that the household registration has been completed by 90%, it really pays off!
After completing most of the household registration work, Zhao Cheng also roughly calculated how many people in Qamdo should be between 130,000 and 150,000, of which 50 percent are young and strong, 20 percent are young children and infants, and 30 percent are elderly.
Overall, it's still good, Zhao Cheng was worried that the young and strong people in Qamdo would lead to hindering future recruitment, but now it seems that as long as Zhao Cheng is willing, he can easily recruit tens of thousands of troops.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Cheng to forcibly levy, if an empire wants to become strong and prosperous, then don't be strong, otherwise the people's will decline, and as soon as the people's morale declines, there will be rebellion!
At the same time, on the border line of Maozhou, Sichuan Province, three long-haired young men were looking left and right, looking like a thief who was about to steal something, stepping on the spot.
The three of them are not anyone, it is Fang Xin, Liu Zhongjing, and Lu Chang, after two days and two nights of travel, they walked 2,000 kilometers and ran to death six horses, fortunately Lu Chang brought enough silver, otherwise they would be poor in buying horses.
"Bastard, bastard, son of a bitch, there is a Yuan soldier in front of you, and no one is allowed to enter the territory of the Xuanzheng Yuan, these damn Yuan soldiers!" Liu Zhongjing looked not far ahead, and scolded angrily.
It stands to reason that as an ancient literati, he will not scold people easily, after all, he thinks he is a gentleman, he only reasons, and he does not use his hands or mouth to scold people.
But for Yuan Bing, they really can't maintain an elegant demeanor, because the people and things they see along the way have made them forget what is elegant and elegant.
Along the way, they saw that the Yuan soldiers did not hesitate to kill and pretend to be good in order to seize the reward, and the Yuan soldiers raped the people's daughters and robbed the people's property and food.
At the same time, I saw that hundreds of people were in exile, all of them were skinny and devoid of spirit, and countless people were starving to death, and the corpses were almost every ten meters, and one or two corpses were seen.
Although they have read books and heard how miserable the outside world is, but seeing these with their own eyes, the visual impact is not ordinarily strong, so strong that they scold, and even risk their lives to kill the Yuan soldiers who are committing rape.
After killing Yuan Bing, they didn't feel guilty at all, just like killing a chicken and a sheep, they didn't feel anything in their hearts, it can be seen from this that Fang Xin and the three of them didn't treat Yuan Bing as a human being!
"As long as we pass through Maozhou, we will enter the jurisdiction of the Xuanzheng Yuan, we are now only a thousand kilometers away from the goal, and we will arrive in a day and a night in a row!" Fang Xin said with a firm look in his eyes.
Along the way, I finally know what the life of the people is like today, I originally thought that my family was a poor family, but compared to those exiled people, my family is still a rich family!
At least their own family will not go hungry every day, and those exiled people, hunger is the most normal thing, and they don't even have to eat tree bark!
At the same time, he is also more determined, he must go to the Qin State, help the Qin State to dominate the world, and get a bite to eat for the people of the world!
"What are you doing, we are literati!" Suddenly, an anxious voice came, and when Fang Xin and the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but subconsciously look, only to see that where the Yuan soldiers in front of them set up their cards, several young people dressed like scholars were dragged by several fierce and vicious Yuan soldiers.
Several scholars looked terrified, trying in vain to use the identity of literati to suppress the Yuan soldiers.
But the rude and brutal Yuan Bing ignored it at all, and still dragged a few scholars, and after dragging ten meters away, one of the Yuan soldiers with a scar on his face snorted disdainfully: "Hmph, what about you ignorant and despicable Han people, literati? Under the scimitar of our Great Yuan Empire, don't you kneel on the ground and surrender? ”
Hearing this, several scholars suddenly looked like withered flowers, their expressions were gloomy, yes, what about the literati, under the slaughter of the Mongolian iron horse, I don't know how many talented people knelt down and surrendered.
"Come on, cut off their heads and make them the heads of traitors!" The Scar Soldier shouted coldly and mercilessly.
"Brush!" With a sound, several Yuan soldiers next to him suddenly pulled out their scimitars that bloomed with cold light, sneered on their faces, and said in their hearts: "Today's luck is really good, I killed a few lowly Han people, and I can get a little more money to spend!" ”
When several scholars saw Yuan Bing draw out his scimitar and saw the scimitar that was blooming with cold light, they immediately shouted in horror: "Don't, don't, don't kill..."
Before the word "I" was spoken, several Yuan soldiers mercilessly cut off the heads of several scholars, and then wrapped their heads in cloth and hung them around their waists, looking at their movements, they were extremely skilled, obviously not once or twice!
When Fang Xin and the others saw this, the three of them immediately glanced at each other, and then shook their heads and sighed in unison.
"These literati should also be going to Qamdo, but it's a pity!" Fang Xin shook his head and sighed.
Along the way, they also saw a lot of literati and scholars, basically going to Qamdo and wanting to serve the Qin State, but unfortunately some people's brains were not very good, and they openly said in some crowded inns what they said to defect to the Qin State, help the Great Qin seize the world, and become the founding hero of the country through the ages.
As a result, in less than a stick of incense, he was reported to the government, and then he was charged with rebellion by the soldiers of the government and killed on the spot.
Fang Xin admired them for having the courage to go to Qamdo, but he didn't appreciate their brains, they were really stupid, just like a few scholars just now, seeing that Yuan Bing had set up a card, and walked up, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead!
Even Fang Xin guessed that the reason why Yuan Bing set up a card here may be to prevent the talented people of the Central Plains from going to Qamdo as officials, and set up a checkpoint!
Fang Xin guessed wrong and guessed right, Yuan Bing set up the checkpoint, just to stop and kill the Han people who went to Qamdo, that's right, it's Han, it doesn't matter if you are a genius or a literati, as long as you are a Han, once you come to the side of the checkpoint, you will be killed!
I'd rather kill the wrong three thousand than let one go!
The Yuan family was also afraid that the Qin State would get a large number of people, which would lead to a sharp increase in the strength of the Qin State, and then the threat of the Qin State would be very great, and it would also have a great impact on the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.
