Chapter 10 Labor is not so easy to wear
Xiangyang Mountain is the mountain where the three of Zhao Jun were before.
In the northwest direction of Xiangyang Mountain, there is a huge camp, similar to a military camp, there are two or three thousand soldiers of the Qin army, and the guards back and forth are very strict, as if they are entangled in a wolf smoke murderous aura, and the birds and beasts in the mountains dare not approach.
There were many large tents that could accommodate 100 people in the middle, and the three of Zhao Jun were assigned to one of the tents, which had wooden mounds of hay for sleeping, and rough quilts, which were regularly fed.
"Boss, it seems a little bad."
Cao Wuxian, who was half-lying on the dry grass, lowered his head and whispered, facing Zhao Jundao, who was back to back with Zhao Ling.
At the same time, Cao Wuxian was vigilant, looking at the laborers in a tent around him, all of them had blank expressions, and some were whispering and fidgeting.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun nodded in a low voice: "Well, I'm afraid it's not possible to escape now, let's wait and see what happens, and make plans." ”
Originally, there were only about two dozen Qin soldiers before, and they were in the wild, and he didn't pay attention to them yet. However, now that there are so many Qin army armor guards, it is still a camp, and it is difficult to escape for your life.
"Brother. Look at the people around here, one by one, they look like people who are about to die, where is this government going to take us to? No, let's kill us all, I heard that the Qin army is all tigers and wolves. Zhao Ling looked at the hundred and ten people around the tent and asked with some trepidation.
Zhao Jun also discovered the abnormality, this time the labor escorted by the Qin army was by no means an ordinary place, otherwise there would not be such a big battle.
"No, don't think about it, we'll wait for the opportunity." Zhao Jun comforted softly, now that they are completely passive, there must be danger in acting rashly.
In the next two or three days, whether it was the three Zhao Jun or other laborers, they were all trapped in the barracks, unless it was a big or small solution, you were not allowed to walk around easily, even if you were out of Gong, you had to ask for instructions, and a soldier followed to the nearby thatched house.
Fortunately, they are all single-person toilets, otherwise Zhao Ling may really be exposed. Zhao Jun also took the opportunity to probe the flaws in the military camp several times, and wanted to escape overnight with Cao Wuxian.
It's a pity that the barracks are full of armor soldiers patrolling day and night, as well as crossbowmen on guard, so there is no chance at all. In desperation, Zhao Jun had to give up temporarily.
After more than ten days, a lot of labor came one after another, and there was a rain in the middle, and the strong rain and humidity on the side of the mountain made the barracks a little cold, plus the food and sleep were not good, and a few people died in the middle, and the Qin army just threw the corpses into the mountains and forests.
In this environment, the laborers in the camp became more and more uneasy, and there were even several riots, but unfortunately they were all exterminated by the Qin army, and the corpses were still hanging in the camp to warn others.
"What about the boss." Cao Wuxian looked sad, he really just came out of the tiger's den and met a group of wolves, but he didn't expect to get out of the mountain smoothly and escape the pursuit of Surabaya County, but he was caught by the Qin army again.
In the battalion of the Zhao army, there are now more than a dozen fewer people, and they all can't help but suffer and make trouble, and they are killed by the Qin army.
"Don't worry, wait, you can't act rashly now." Zhao Jun said in a low voice, he was equally worried, he didn't know where Qin Jun would take them.
Zhao Ling was also full of worry, and he was close to Zhao Jun in the camp, and like most people who said labor, he began to have the fear of the unknown.
In the end, when the number of servants gathered from all directions became less and less, the total number reached six or seven thousand, and the number of Qin soldiers also increased to more than three thousand.
The next day, the Qin army finally began and began to set off with labor.
"Boss, looking at their direction, they are going northwest, and it seems that the distance is about the same as our target." Walking on the road, Cao Wuxian whispered to Zhao Jun.
When the six or seven thousand servants set out, it was obvious that the sense of fear was much lessened, and there was not much anxiety, but full of doubts and speculations.
Zhao Ling's mood also improved a lot, and he said, "Brother, what should we do." ”
Zhao Jun pondered for a moment and said: "Since it is similar to us, fortunately, follow them, take care of food and control, it is much faster than us going to the northern frontier alone, anyway, we can't escape." ”
"Hmm." When Zhao Jun said this, both of them agreed very much.
It's just that Zhao Jun is wondering, where is this batch of labor by the Qin army going to be sent, and there are only a few places in the world where so much labor is needed.
Along the way, thousands of laborers and Qin troops all walked on foot, pulling up a long big snake on the official road, and many people saw it, they were far away, panicking.
Although it is an official road, the speed is faster. But nearly 10,000 people ate and drank Lazar all the way, and it was not a soldier who could manage the march, the speed was extremely slow, and it was even more unlucky when it was windy and rainy, and he walked more than 30 miles a day.
In addition, every county is still waiting for the confluence of labor, so the journey is not fast. Of course, there are also deaths on the road, most of them are weak, because of poor food and poor conditions on the road, so they die of illness and exhaustion.
For these dead people, the Qin army's method was to quickly drag them together, and then dig pits on the spot to bury them, or simply throw them to feed the beasts.
On the way, because the Qin army was small and the labor was more, the Qin army rarely managed the internal affairs of the labor, and the labor was from the old people of the Six Kingdoms, so it was inevitable that there would be quarrels, so there were often fights.
In order to hurry quickly, the Qin army turned a blind eye to all of this, as long as there were too many casualties due to the fact that there were too many casualties.
Of course, this also affected the three of Zhao Jun, but after Zhao Jun assassinated a few, no one dared to trouble them anymore, making the three of them a lot quieter.
Faintly, the three of them became a small group that no one dared to mess with in the middle of labor.
From the beginning of spring to the summer, when the weather was hot, all the laborers were under the suppression of the Qin army, and they did not know the purpose.
There were countless dead people on the road, and some tried to escape, but without exception, they were all shot by the Qin army's crossbowmen. Under the strict guard of the Qin army, there was no chance of escape at all
Zhao Ling and Cao Wushu also praised Zhao Jun's calmness, if it weren't for Zhao Jun stabilizing the hearts of the two of them, I am afraid that they would have been shot in the wilderness like those who escaped.
Along the way, Zhao Jun estimated that the labor force that had been driven in, plus those who joined halfway, totaled nearly 20,000 people, and in the end, in July and August, there were more than 2,000 dead and wounded.
With such a high mortality rate, this is just on the road, if you really get to the place of labor, how much more should it be, in troubled times, human life is really cheap, Zhao Jun is a little cold, no wonder they all say that King Qin is tyrannical.
In this year, it was also the year in which the Great Qin Empire issued the most national decrees, and after unifying the world, after a break of more than a year, Qin Shi Huang finally began to hold back and issued his decree to lay down the first emperor of the ages.
First of all, it is a large-scale confiscation of the world's sharp weapons, strictly prohibiting the private possession of weapons, except for those who have meritorious deeds, once found is a capital crime, all the iron weapons confiscated are concentrated in Xianyang, to be cast into twelve bronze people.
The second is to unify the writing, rails, weights and measures, and coins, and divide the world into 36 counties, completely abolish the feudal system, adopt the centralized system, instill the mysterious concept of imperial power to the people of the world, hold Mount Tai Feng Zen, and edict the imperial power of heaven.
In order to prevent the restoration of the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang moved 120,000 households of the wealthy and powerful sects of the Six Kingdoms to Xianyang, and the other part to Bashu, Nanyang, Sanchuan and Zhaodi. He ordered to "degrade the city, break through the Sichuan defense, and raze the dangers", and eliminate the means relied on by the feudal aristocracy as much as possible.
In addition, it is in order to make the Xianyang decree reach the world, control the vast territory and the old land of the six countries, and build a gallop road from the capital Xianyang to all parts of the country, the east is poor Yanqi, and the South Pole is Wuchu.
Of course, these decrees are all in order, and there is a clear division of labor with the strict self-discipline and efficiency of the Qin people.
However, they ignored that the old people of the Six Kingdoms would not endure hardships and tenacity like them, nor would they understand that Qin Shi Huang was for the sake of the prosperity of future generations.
All they know is that this has changed the habits of the generations on which they depended, causing them to leave their homes and paying more taxes.
In addition, there are people who have a heart to provoke, so as soon as the decree came out, the whole people in the world were angry, and countless people were forced to bandits.
And the officials of the entire Qin State under the iron fist of Qin Shi Huang pursued to act quickly, regardless of the life and death of the people, so the voice of dissatisfaction in the world was even worse.
It's just that with the power of the First Emperor and the invincible army of the Great Qin Empire, no one dares to make any changes, only this breath has been backlogged, and there is a suitable time.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Zhao Jun.
Although he didn't know the details of these decrees, he had a rough understanding of most of them in his previous life, so he wasn't very shocked.
He understood that these decrees were not necessarily all bad, but it was just that Qin's laws were strict, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were deliberately provoking, and Qin Shi Huang was too conceited, which eventually evolved into the name of the tyrannical Qin, burying the roots of the troubled times.
It can be said that no matter who unifies the world, in the face of the endgame left by the six countries and the very different living conditions of the people in the world, they will take this step.
It's just that this infamy was taken by Qin Shi Huang, and of course, only the old Qin people who have worked hard to recognize the law dare to take this step. But in the end, they didn't stop this storm of backlash.
Expecting the troubled times to get closer and closer, Zhao Jun's heart was full of anxiety and a trace of expectation, which was very contradictory.
What I look forward to is that this era will be magnificent, heroes will rise, and I can also have the opportunity to leave a name in history in the troubled times, and live up to the man's husband.
Anxiously, he has no foundation now, just a servant, and he is still a hunted servant, and his future is bright. It's really a troubled time, and I can only be trampled on.
Therefore, even though he was on the road, whenever he had free time, he would also instruct Cao Wuxian in the technique of flying knives, or practice Xingyi Quan with Zhao Ling, or study the art of war, thinking of ways to supplement himself and enhance his strength.
Although Xingyi Quan focuses on hand-to-hand fighting, and cannot be free-handed on the battle array, the improvement of physical fitness brought by it is real, and it will also be beneficial to the use of weapons in the future.
is like swordsmanship, although he is not as good as Cao Wuxian, but with his physical fitness, he is also a good sword player, and he overwhelms Cao Wuxian.
Now, Zhao Jun's boxing skills have improved a lot, and he has almost reached the peak state of Ming Jin, and he is about to reach the level of his previous life.
Zhao Ling is not bad now, if he fights with people with hand-to-hand, even if Cao Wushu is not injured, he may not be able to win steadily, his physique is getting stronger and stronger, he looks energetic, and his demeanor is more flexible.
And Cao Wuxian's flying knife has already entered the house, his understanding is already good, coupled with his strength and agility, although it is not as good as Zhao Jun, but he is in trouble, and people who are defenseless generally can't stop it.
