Chapter 66: Still Too Tender
(Second Update!) I beg everybody for a big storing! Friend's work "Immortal Buddha" is recommended as a new fantasy book, and the same works are "Prosperous Tang Dynasty" and "The Prosperous Age of the Mountains". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info)
When Yin Kuang heard this, he seemed to be touched by something somewhere in his heart, his eyes were moist~ moist, and tears were rolling in his eyes.
The military system of the Great Qin is strict, and men are "Fu status" at the age of 17, and they can be conscripted into the army at any time according to the needs of the war in the future, and they can only be exempted from military service at the age of 60, which is called exemption from old age.
Since the beginning of the annexation war that unified the six countries in the seventeenth year of the reign of King Qin, countless old Qin people rose from Guanzhong and Hexi, conscripted into the army, stained the battlefield with blood, and fought in the south for more than ten years.
Le Jian knew what Yin Kuang was thinking, but he didn't speak, and he didn't feel relieved.
After so many days together and getting to know each other, he knew in his heart that this pampered son who had been pampered in the palace since he was a child had different feelings from those soldiers who were really born and died on the battlefield, and many places also had their own opinions, and differences were inevitable.
For example, Wen Xiu, in Yin Kuang's opinion, he is over fifty years old, but he still has to serve in the border fortress, which is undoubtedly a bit cruel.
But they don't know that these sergeants who rise from the bottom and have no prominent status and background can only have the opportunity to be promoted step by step and return to their hometown under such a military merit system with clear rewards and punishments.
Wen Xiu is ranked in the second level of the Great Qin Military Merit System, and can have ten acres of fields, a number of servants, and a rank ratio of 100 stones, which is well-known in the township.
If it were in the other six countries, this would be an unthinkable existence.
This is also the key to why, once the Great Qin soldiers go to the battlefield, they will fight to the death, compete to slash and kill the enemy, and behead for merit.
The country cannot stand without defense, and the country cannot prosper without soldiers.
The so-called soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked. 、
If a country and a nation do not have a strong army and an invincible army of tigers and wolves, they can only be slaughtered by others.
And Yin Kuang's Confucianism, which has been exposed to both the world and the way of benevolence and virtue since he was a child, is sometimes not applicable.
Perhaps, after this capture, Yin Kuang's thinking will change slightly, Le Jian thought with a wry smile.
Just as he was pondering, Wen Xiu on the side raised his eyebrows again, and said quite smugly:
"The old man is now more than fifty years old, since the age of seventeen, he has been introduced as a material official, guarding the frontier for more than ten years, limited by the Great Wall, it is difficult to encounter the opportunity to kill the enemy, so in 33 years, he only beheaded two or three enemy chiefs, and won the second-class military knighthood."
"Even so, there are ten acres of land in the family, countless servants and small servants, and every year is enough to support the family, a slight surplus, if there are another ten or twenty years, you can go on the field to kill the enemy, and you will be able to receive another knight, for the hairpin, not more, it is not difficult!"
As he spoke, his old body trembled, his fists clenched, and his eyes shone brightly, full of longing and expectation for war!
The blood in my heart is surging, like a volcano bursting out, out of control.
Seeing this, Yin Kuang immediately frowned and asked:
"Since the old man is fifty years old, he should return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life, if he goes to the battlefield again, the sword is ruthless, and it is inevitable that there will be some injustice."
"The laws of Daqin are too harsh, there are often grievances, and the military law is too harsh, this world is ...... After all, it is better to rule the country with benevolence......"
"Hey??? Childe's words are ......"
Before Yin Kuang's words fell, another person in the corner vetoed him sonorously and forcefully, and said undeniably.
Looking closely, in the corner between Wen Xiu and Le Jian, a man with a disheveled head, dressed in a black long shirt, and a significant scar on his face entered from his forehead, obliquely breaking his face, looking shocking, in terms of age, he should be a man about forty or fifty years old.
Its name is Ji Kai, the table word Qi Yong, Yuyang people.
"I don't know what Qi Yong's high opinion is?"
was interrupted rudely~rudely, Yin Kuangbai~hui's face changed slightly, so he arched his hand lightly and asked quite unpleasantly.
The thistle was a farmer, he didn't know much etiquette, and he didn't know how to read words and feelings, but he hugged his fists as if he was a big man, smiled honestly, and said with emotion:
"Childe smiled, I'm a rough person, how can I have any high opinions?"
"It's just that I was an ordinary farmer in Yan Country in my early years, with no status and no property, and the grain I planted every year was not enough for my own rations, and I had to hand over half of it to the royal family. My elder brother has been fighting for Yan for decades, but he is still the lowest level of the official, and he only has coarse grains and no vegetables every day, just because Yan does not have a military merit system like Daqin...... In the end, he died in Quanzhou, south of Yuyang, and there were no bones, but the royal family's pensions and rewards were taken away by the generals who had a vegetarian meal every time, and the title was hereditary, and we, the low-level farmers, had no chance to turn over! ”
Ji Kai said excitedly:
It wasn't until later that Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, led his army to destroy the remnants of Yan Zhao and capture Wang Jia. In the same year, Qin marched Wang Ben into Liaodong, annihilated the Yan army, captured the king of Yan, and the Yan kingdom perished. ”
"My family had no harvest back then, I heard that the Qin army was well treated, I could only re-enlist, joined the army at the age of thirty, fought for only seven years, beheaded five, awarded knighthood not more, for the head of a tun, in charge of fifty people, rank ratio of two hundred stones, five mansions, also married and had children, hundreds of servants, the mansion is also constantly renovated, every time you return to your hometown after the war, you can return to your hometown with honor, glory or anything is not a problem!"
"I'm a big boss, I don't know what the truth is, I only know that every time I go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and behead it, I can be added to the rank if I have merit, even if I unfortunately die in battle, I also have a son who can inherit the title, I can kill the enemy without worry, and die without regrets!"
"This is something that my brother who has worked diligently all his life and finally ended up with no bones can imagine......"
In the end, this man with five big and three rough eyes came from sadness, his eyes were red, and his face was quite bleak, I don't know if he was complaining about his innocent brother, or applauding Daqin's military merit.
"This ......" Yin Kuang was still very unconvinced in his heart, sighed, and said word by word:
"But...... Confucianism once said that the Spring and Autumn Period is unrighteous war, war, often are unfavorable, the so-called soldiers, ominous weapons, have to be used as a last resort, and indifferent, happy to kill, can not be ambitious and the world, just ask, a country of reckless soldiers, is it possible to last long? ”
"Why, the six countries of the Kwantung region keep claiming that we and the Qin people are the army of tigers and wolves?"
Le Jian couldn't help sneering when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the disdain in his heart was very strong, Yin Kuang, he was still too tender.
The reason why the six countries of Kwantung called the Qin people the division of tigers and wolves was not only because the Qin people were as arrogant as tigers and wolves, and there was no morality on the battlefield.
The reason why they say this is because they are afraid, they are afraid that the fierce Qin people are like tigers and wolves, but in fact, in their hearts, they also look forward to their own country can also have such a tiger and wolf army!
