Chapter 179: Right Prime Minister Xi Mu Lixin

After the official Hong Chou worshiped the right prime minister and led the army and division, he issued a series of decrees one after another! First, he ordered the Gupta Dynasty's original dynastic army scattered throughout the dynasty to leave a minimum of defensive strength in the local area, and the rest of the troops and horses were all assembled in Fahrenheit City within a time limit.

He also ordered that all the money, food, and ordnance from all parts of the dynasty should be transported to Hua's City within the time limit. Even the ordinary people of the Gupta Dynasty, in addition to being conscripted into the army, had to pay taxes for nearly three years as the military expenses of the army to conquer the Qin army!

Because of this provincial decree, the princes and nobles of the cities of the Gupta Dynasty complained bitterly, and the tens of millions of people and slaves of the Gupta Dynasty complained one by one, cursing Hong Chou in private is simply too hateful, and they are eager to dig three feet into the ground, but also to recruit troops to the maximum extent, and to scavenge grain, grass, gold and silk to the greatest extent.

In addition, Hong Chou's new wartime decrees were simply harsh. For example, if a large army is mobilized or money and food are requisitioned, and the delay is one day, the commander of the army will be punished with a hundred rods. Those who delay for three days will be beheaded by the commander of the army, and all the soldiers under his command will be punished with 100 rods. Those who delay for five days will be beheaded by the commander of the army, along with all the soldiers under his command. In addition, his family and his wife are small, and they will also be punished as slaves, and they will not be allowed to return to Fahrenheit City for the rest of their lives!

This is only the movement of the army, and if it is a big war, the time limit is not calculated in days, but accurate to the hour. If the battle is delayed for an hour, the commander and his guards will all be beheaded! Those who delay for three hours, whether it is hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, will all be beheaded by military law! As for the ineffective operation, so that the fighters are delayed, the commander of the army has almost no way to die!

So much so that those leading generals, after receiving the newly promulgated military law, the more they looked at it, the more frightened they became, and the more they looked at it, the more shocked they became! This new military law is so strict, I am afraid that if I act according to the previous rules, there are thousands of generals in the Gupta Dynasty, and it is estimated that there will be few alive after the big war!

Of course, the military law is so harsh, and the rewards are much more generous than before! For example, in Hongchou's new decree, there is a clear provision that whether it is a general, a civilian, or even a slave, as long as the head of the Qin army is cut off and brought back to the camp, it will be given a knighthood or a golden silk woman slave according to the new decree!

For those civilian slaves, this was something that they could never have dreamed of before. As the most humble inferior person in the land of Tianzhu, as long as he can kill the Qin army, he can have rich women and slaves, and he can become a superior person overnight! Therefore, while those Tianzhu princes cursed Hong Chou, these lowly slaves of the Gupta Dynasty regarded Hong Chou as a savior and a god!

It also stipulates that those who pay a large amount of additional taxes will also be given different titles according to the amount paid. After hearing the news, these huge rich people were all smiling, scrambling to donate gold and silk property, just to get a knighthood, and it was good to shine in the court!

As for the princes and nobles of the Gupta dynasty and the generals who led the army, the rewards in the new military law are also somewhat attractive! Hong Chou will award all the generals of the Qin army according to their ranks. For example, beheading the Qin army's thousand-man master, rewarding a thousand gold, beheading the Qin army's military marquis, rewarding 3,000 gold, beheading the Qin army's captain, rewarding 10,000 gold, beheading the Qin army's generals, rewarding 30,000 gold, beheading the four generals before and after the Qin army, rewarding 100,000 gold.

Among them, the most striking is to kill Qin Feng, the general of the Qin army, and reward the middle kingdom of millions of people. Imagine that Qin Feng wanted to give a hundred thousand gold rewards, and the entire Tianzhu Land was crazy about it! So now Hong Chou wants Qin Feng's head, and the reward offered is actually a medium-sized kingdom, such a big temptation, not to mention the aristocratic princes of the Gupta Dynasty, that is, those who support the Qin army, the lord of the Buddha country who worships the Buddha devoutly, and those who are a little less determined, I am afraid that they will be moved! And that's exactly what Hongchou is aiming for!

All of this made these princes and generals of the Gupta Dynasty, while scolding Hong Chou, also warmly looking forward to starting a war with the Qin army as soon as possible, so that they could make meritorious contributions and be promoted to make a fortune! If God opens his eyes and lets the dragon elephant king Qin Feng hit his knife, then he will be transformed into the lord of a country!

It's just that these extremely harsh laws and regulations, Hong Chou did not elaborate on them, but promulgated them according to what he had learned in his life, with the spirit of various factions of Legalism in the Central Plains, and with wartime military law as the prototype, and then promulgated and implemented them with a little modification. At the beginning of the implementation, neither the dignitaries of the court nor the civilian slaves took this decree of the new right prime minister seriously!

Seeing that no one obeyed the new decree, the ministers of the court and the central government were all waiting to see Hong Chou's jokes, and even the King of the Sea Protector was watching coldly, waiting to see how Hong Chou would make this newly promulgated decree become the supreme Supreme Dafa!

Seeing this situation, Hong Chou was not impatient, but in the early morning of the next day, he set up a long log outside the east gate of the Gupta Dynasty, and then posted a notice that if anyone moved this long wood from the east gate to the west gate, the right prime minister would be rewarded with ten gold.

The sun is rising higher and higher, and there are more and more people watching the excitement, and Hong Chou's bounty has soared from ten gold to two hundred gold. The tens of thousands of people watching around were giggling one by one, and no one took Hong Chou's bounty seriously. If you move a log from the east gate to the west gate, you will be rewarded with two hundred gold, isn't this a fool? If you want to say that if you move this piece of wood from the east gate to the west gate, you will reward half a leg of mutton, but I am afraid that the big guys will believe it!

Just when everyone thought that no one would come to carry this log, they saw a slave who was more than half a hundred years old came out, picked up the long log, and walked towards the west gate with his shoulder on his shoulder. Watching the lively crowd around, he burst into laughter, all kinds of ridicule, and then laughed while following the slave who was carrying the wood, waiting to see his joke!

Unexpectedly, after this person moved Changmu to the West Gate, Hong Chou didn't say a word, and personally took two hundred gold and stuffed it into the slave's hands. The crowd of onlookers was dumbfounded, and the slave, who was over half a hundred years old, was also dumbfounded. The reason why he moved this long log was because he hadn't eaten much for several days, and he was so hungry! It's nothing more than thinking about having fun with these aristocratic lords, and then seeing if you can give you a bowl of full rice to eat! As for the golden gold in front of him, he didn't dare to dream of it!

The slave was holding two hundred gold, and stammered in fright: "Master, don't play tricks on the villain, just give a bowl of curry rice to eat!" How dare the villain ask for so much gold"!

Hong Chou smiled when he heard this, and the ugly face plate showed a rare smile: "Old man, the two hundred gold is yours now, you can accept it with confidence!" With these two hundred gold, not to mention curry rice, it is a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, a beautiful house, and it is also at your fingertips"!

Saying that Hong Chou sent a sergeant to protect this person and leave, the crowd of onlookers was dumbfounded, and at this moment, all the people of Hua's City finally believed that the new right prime minister was a promise, and the order was like a mountain!

After Hongchou established his letter, he established the credibility and majesty of the new decree among the people of the dynasty in one fell swoop. It's just that those nobles and lords in the court still don't take the new decree issued by Hong Chou seriously! thinks that he is the emperor and noble, those decrees are just to bind the untouchables, and he can't control his own head, and Hong Chou doesn't dare to do anything to himself!

Unexpectedly, Hong Chou was still silent, only waiting for a few nobles to violate the new decree, Hong Chou did not say a word and ordered to be beheaded according to the new decree, one of whom was still the uncle of the Sea Protector. At this time, the entire court was shocked, and the princes and ministers of the Gupta Dynasty came to the table to impeach Hong Chou. But Shamodhara, the protector of the sea. Gupta was unmoved, and chose to support Hong Chou, these princes and ministers who had just opened their teeth and claws, seeing that the Sea Protector King supported Hong Chou so much, had no choice but to stop and dare not compete with Hong Chou for the time being!

Since Hong Chou established his letter at the east gate of Hua's City, and since Hong Chou beheaded several princes and ministers one after another, as these things continue to spread, the princes and nobles of the Gupta Dynasty, and tens of millions of people, all know that the new right prime minister is not easy to get along with, and they all know that the new decree is not a joke!

It is precisely because Hong Chou is so unkind, and because the new laws are extremely harsh, that the Gupta Dynasty, which has been peaceful for a long time, seems to have been reborn in the moment after Hong Chou took power, and the national and military strength that can be condensed has increased several times overnight! The soldiers, horses, money, and food gathered in Fahrenheit City were endless, almost filling the entire Fahrenheit City!

Hong Chou also understands that his series of practices that are close to tyranny will leave many hidden dangers, and will also allow him to make enemies everywhere in the Gupta Dynasty. However, in the face of the Qin army with unparalleled combat power, Hong Chou asked himself if he didn't do this, Hong Chou really had no confidence that he would be able to completely wipe out the monstrous Qin army in the land of Tianzhu!

Therefore, Hong Chou could only resist the pressure and implement his almost plundering series of policies without hesitation. Hong Chou thought in his heart, all these difficulties are only temporary, as long as he can destroy the Qin army, as long as he can dominate the entire territory of Tianzhu, in the Gupta Dynasty, he will become a hero, and he will become a god-like existence!

As for the case of losing again against the Qin army, Hong Chou didn't think about this at all, because in case of defeat, not to mention that the Qin army couldn't spare himself, even everyone in the Gupta Dynasty wouldn't spare himself! If you don't succeed, you become a benevolent, it's that simple! Either you will be famous and you will be honored by all the people! Either the success will be pointed out by thousands of people, and the scolding will be scolded! When the husband is alive, he can't eat five tripods in life, and he should cook five tripods in death, that's all!

Because of Hong Chou's arrival, because of Hong Chou's series of decrees, Fahrenheit City became unprecedentedly solemn overnight! Even the lowest slaves understood that behind this unusualness, it was a sign that the Gupta Dynasty, which had not fought for several years, was about to undergo earth-shattering changes! And this earth-shattering change determines the life and death of everyone! It will change everyone's fate!
