Chapter 50: Scourging
When Hu Hai said these two sentences with all his might, he thought of the statistics of the current number of old Qin people that Wei Yu told him that night.
This inaccurate statistics told Hu Hai why, when Great Qin fell, the old Qin people did not fight to the end for their empire.
Wei Yi told Hu Hai that the total population of Guanzhong was about five million; Among them, the old Qin people only account for about 20%, which is worth a million people, and most of them are old, weak, women and children; The remaining seventy or eighty percent are Shandong residents who have moved in in the past ten years, totaling more than 4 million.
During the reign of King Zhao of Qin, there were more than 10 million old Qin people in Great Qin, of which the population of Longxi, Hexi, Bashu, and Guanwai counties accounted for about 60% of the Qin people, with about 5 million; The population of the hinterland of Guanzhong accounts for about 40% of the Qin people, with more than 3 million.
Half of the population in the hinterland of Guanzhong, plus hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Longxi, is the real Yingqin tribe, that is, the old Qin people.
At the beginning of the Great War of the Six Kingdoms, the main army of Great Qin, together with the defenders of Xianyang and various fortresses, plus the royal family and various official guard sergeants, the total number was nearly one million. Among these million, the real old Qin people account for at least seventy percent.
In this way, based on the total number of all Great Qin people, it is roughly ten people and one soldier; And if it is calculated according to the population base of the Great Qin Cheng Army, it is already two men and one soldier.
In the War of the Six Kingdoms to pacify the Pacification, more than 300,000 soldiers of the Qin army died in battle, and the follow-up levies were added in the same amount, which is more than 1.3 million. After pacifying the Six Kingdoms, more than 300,000 people were requisitioned into the South China Sea, of which eighty percent were Qin men and women.
In addition, there were several times when the old Qin people were conscripted and sent to Beihe to guard the border, and there were several times when they exchanged and migrated with the population of Shandong. Generally speaking, the old Qin people who moved out of Guanzhong counted more than 1 million, and more than 800,000 casualties before and after entering the army, totaling more than 2 million.
At present, eighty percent of the old Qin people in the pass, except for the men in the army, have scattered to the border. This was the reason why Wei Yu told Hu Hai not to worry too much about the old Qin people's opposition to the abandoned land, but the data was so bloody.
Hu Hai knew that no matter how difficult the situation was, the Qin State could survive it, and all the foundation lay in the old Qin people who sincerely united all the people, and in the unshakable Yingqin axis.
Now, the Yingqin tribe has dissipated? The old Qin people dissipated once? Is it only about the millions of old and weak women and children in the hinterland? If this is the case, once there is something in the world, once there is a change in Guanzhong, where is the confidence of Daqin?
For many years, under the leadership of several kings, the huge chariot of Great Qin has been busy planning wars, creating reforms, and swaying the old Qin people to the fullest, the old Qin people were conscripted into an army, and the old Qin people were sent to the South China Sea, sent to Beihe, sent to Huaibei and Huainan, sent to Liaodong, and sent to all the places that should be pacified......
The old Qin people walked out of Hangu Pass without hesitation without hesitation, set foot on a strange land without hesitation, and left their rich and rich hometown to the enemies of the past......
If the world is peaceful and Qin's government is fine, the proud and generous old Qin people may be able to leave a majestic mark in history. And now. The tide of restoration is raging, and the world has fallen into the tide of restoration of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and there are only more than 200,000 forbidden troops left in Guanzhong.
If there are still three million old Qin people in Guanzhong's hometown today, why are you afraid of the restoration and rebellion of these six countries? Why are you afraid of the collusion of these officials?
Aren't the countless old Qin people of Great Qin today just like the countless martyrs of the Chinese nation in later generations? Without them, there would be no future generations of China, and similarly, without the old Qin people, there would be no majestic Great Qin Empire.
Hu Hai seemed to see countless gray-haired, old, weak, women and children on this square, and they were also looking at themselves, looking at the new emperor of the Qin family, their sons, husbands, and fathers who were either burying their bones in other places for the sake of Daqin, or going on expeditions to the border.
They are the real backbone of Great Qin!
Hu Hai bent down and took a deep look again. Last night, he had already decided that he would not give a salute to anyone in the future, but today, in the face of these old Qin people who had paid for Daqin silently without complaint or regret, what qualification did he have not to give them a salute?
Originally, when they heard Hu Hai shouting, the people around the square were already a little scratched, but now when they saw that His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin had given a salute to his own Qianshou, all the Xianyang Qin people, whether they were old Qin women and children or the people of Shandong who had moved in, all hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Hu Hai moved one direction, and that direction fell to his knees like dominoes. When Hu Hai straightened up, no one stood on the entire Xianyang Palace Square.
Hu Hai's heart was surging, and he walked forward again, and Zhang Han, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Hu Hai's forward footsteps, and hurriedly moved his kneeling legs to stop Hu Hai.
Feeling Zhang Han's movements, Hu Hai turned his head, and the huge momentum suddenly enveloped Zhang Han, and shouted in a low voice: "Stop, if you want to follow, you can follow, if you don't want to wait for me here, but if you still want to stop me, Zhang Han ......" said and turned around and walked forward.
Hu Hai didn't say the rest of the words, Zhang Han didn't move, Hu Hai's momentum at this time he had only felt in one person, that is, His Majesty the First Emperor who swept [***]. Looking at Hu Hai as Shi Shiran moved forward, Zhang Han was full of worry but helpless.
It's close! Hu Hai ignored the obstruction of the forbidden army kneeling on the ground, and finally came to the dense crowd of people kneeling on the ground.
"Old man, get up quickly." Hu Hai held a white-haired old man with both hands and said in a trembling voice, "I, the people of Daqin, get up quickly." I don't deserve such a great gift from you. Hurry up! ”
Hu Hai helped them up one after another, but as soon as Hu Hai turned around, everyone who was helped up by Hu Hai cried bitterly again and knelt on the ground again, "Your Majesty, no." The sound is endless.
At this moment, with just a small dagger, Hu Hai's life can be easily taken. But who would have expected that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire would approach the crowd without any escort? Into the crowd?
Watching himself pick up and kneel one by one, Hu Hai smiled bitterly, at this time, Zhang Han had already taken a dozen or so forbidden soldiers to desperately guard Hu Hai's side regardless of the crime of getting up without authorization, and firmly surrounded Hu Hai in the middle, tightly sealed.
Seeing the expressions and movements of these people, Hu Hai knew that even if he killed Zhang Han and them who surrounded him now, there would soon be a group of the same forbidden soldiers to do the same thing.
Listening to the incessant sound of "Your Majesty must not" around him, Hu Hai, who could no longer get out of the encirclement of the forbidden army, had to stand in place and say loudly,
"This whipping is not only for the will of my father, but even if I do not have the will of my father. I can't use this as just thirty lashes without (mo), but these thirty lashes should make you wait for my heart. I will not disappoint the old Qin people again, and I will not disappoint the people of Great Qin! ”
Saying that, Hu Hai turned around, strode towards the Xianyang Palace Square, and said with all his strength: "Whip and blame!" ”
"Whipping!" Zhang Han and the forbidden soldiers guarding Hu Hai's side shouted loudly at the same time. Your Majesty has this ambition, why should Daqin worry?
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Countless Qin people on the square and around the square choked up and shouted in unison again, Hu Hai's previous words were heard by many people, and many people did not hear them, but under word of mouth, they have already spread to the crowd now.
"Smack!" ...... "Smack! ”
As the emperor, of course, Hu Hai couldn't whip naked in front of these countless people, just take off his crown and the outermost black silk embroidered gold robe. Zhang Han and a eunuch supported Hu Hai left and right to stand and execute.
Win Teng deliberately approached the crowd before the whipping and tried it on a straw man with the long black whip in his hand, and the grass man was whipped grass clippings flying sideways, and Hu Hai and the surrounding forbidden army and Qin people were shocked to see it.
But when he was really whipped, Hu Hai was messy, he didn't know what Ying Teng used to hit himself, and he didn't know why this thing hit the grass man very well, and the beating himself was just an unusually loud sound but it didn't hurt.
I don't know why I don't have anything to do, but I feel as if there is water flowing down my back.
I'm afraid that the real reason is only known to a few people, the old Yingteng is sweating, but Hu Hai is light, not to mention the screams, not even humming.
But in the eyes of the unwitting forbidden army and countless Qin people in the square, there was obviously a blood mark on Hu Hai's back that seeped out through the white underwear under the first whip, and then whipped down one whip after another.
The drenched blood had already blurred the flesh and blood behind Hu Hai, and the countless Qin people around him kept kowtowing and shouting loudly.
Thirty lashes is not much, it is not too little, but it is still over quickly!
"Your Majesty, faint!"
Zhang Han's voice sounded softly in his ears, and Hu Hai closed his eyes helplessly.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Hurry up and announce the doctor, hurry up and announce the doctor! ”
Zhang Han hugged Hu Hai, who fell to the ground, screamed bitterly, burst into tears, and the eunuch next to him cried on the ground as if Hu Hai had hung up. Looking at Zhang Han and this eunuch like this, Hu Hai was thundered on the outside and tender on the inside, Nima, I didn't think that Zhang Han still had the potential to be an Oscar actor. And this eunuch is not bad, Daqin is really full of talents.
The crowd around the square saw Hu Hai fainting, and when they heard the cries of Zhang Han and the eunuch, they suddenly surged with emotion, shouting "Your Majesty!" "I desperately want to rush up to see Hu Hai.
