Chapter 84: Do You Believe It?
June 12 of the first year of Great Qin II!
Today is the time for His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin II to lead the army out of the customs!
Of course, in today's Xianyang, everyone only knows one thing, that is, His Majesty the Emperor is still in the Bashang camp near Xianyang, except for a limited number of important ministers in the court, Hu Hai led the army north this time to the entire Xianyang There are only a handful of people who know!
On the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, the guard of the camp suddenly became stricter than before!
The 10,000 soldiers of the Caishi battalion were transferred from Xianyang to the Bashang battalion and were strictly defended within ten miles! A large number of soldiers who were originally on duty around the Bashang camp were secretly replaced by soldiers from the original 200,000 forbidden army on duty!
Within twenty miles of the entire Bashang camp, nearly 30,000 soldiers scattered and separated were surrounded like iron buckets!
The 600,000 soldiers of the Bashang battalion who have never stopped their rigorous training have rarely been given a rest!
On the same day, a large number of imperial edicts of the Second Emperor written on white paper appeared again in the camp of Bashang!
But this time the imperial edict is different!
The word is a rare blood-like bright red! The bright red emperor jade seal that should have been stamped at the bottom of the imperial edict was black that had never been there!
"Caged prime minister, bribed and eunuched, poisoned the first emperor, harmed his brother, sought the throne, punished eunuchs, killed the prime minister, seized the world, and bullied the people!"!
Twenty-seven bright red characters give people an unprecedented shocking feeling! Plus the huge thick black at the bottom of the eight seal characters "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang"!
The red, black and white colors correspond, giving people an indescribable visual and intuitive stimulation!
Of course, this is not the most important thing!
The most important thing is the twenty-seven blood-red characters on this imperial edict!
Although there are still many of the 600,000 soldiers in the camp of Ba Shang, there are still many who still can't read and write, but it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has counted everything, and next to every edict there will be a literate soldier or official who is responsible for reading these 27 words aloud!
Twenty-seven words, one word is more shocking than one word!
Words are heart-wrenching, and it is no longer enough to describe the explanation of these twenty-seven words!
In less than an hour or two, the blood-colored twenty-seven characters are already known to everyone among the 600,000 soldiers in the Bashang battalion!
All kinds of emotions such as dazed, scared, worried, shocked, and doubtful began to permeate the camp of Bashang!
These twenty-seven words, as long as there is no stone in the head, everyone knows who is insinuating! In particular, the phrase "Poison First Emperor" made all the soldiers in the Bashang battalion, whether it was the original forbidden army or the new army of prisoners, feel at a loss!
What does it mean that such obvious and vicious words of insinuation appeared in the camp of Bashang, and in the form of an edict of the emperor? How could the Second Emperor possibly allow such a thing to appear in the Bashang Camp?
And the jade seal of the stamped emperor has already told everyone very clearly, His Majesty the Second Emperor obviously already knows about this matter, and it is even possible that this edict itself was issued by the Second Emperor!
It's just that this kind of thing is obviously confusing the hearts of the army and the people, and the first thing anyone thinks of will be how to prevent leakage, why does His Majesty the Second Emperor make it public with such fanfare!?
Not only are the soldiers confused, but many of the Bashang battalions who don't know the actual situation and are loyal to Hu Hai, many nimble generals at all levels are also confused at the moment, and no one knows what His Majesty the Second Emperor wants to do!
However, at least everyone knows one thing, that is, something big is about to happen in Daqin, Guanzhong, and Xianyang!
There are constantly radical soldiers loyal to Hu Hai who want to go directly to tear up and post the edict, and such things are happening everywhere in the entire Bashang camp! More soldiers are in confusion!
Everyone is asking themselves, if these bright red twenty-seven words are true, then how do they choose?
The entire camp fell into a state of confusion and depression!
The nimble soldiers soon discovered the unusual thing about the camp today! Not only did the law enforcement in the army with black armbands that could be seen at any time not be seen, but even many high-ranking generals were nowhere to be seen in the Bashang camp!
Not to mention, in the past, you can always see Wei Yu and Zhang Han, as well as Wang Gan and other senior generals!
On the afternoon of the fourth day of June!
The entire Bashang camp has been suppressed to the extreme, and it is on the verge of burning at one point. The soldiers who were loyal to Hu Hai did not believe the twenty-seven words on this edict at all, and they connected them everywhere, aiming the spearhead at all the soldiers who were still hesitating, confused, and waiting!
Fortunately, the strict military orders and harsh training have not made these people lose their minds! But everyone can see that as long as someone comes out against His Majesty the Emperor at this moment, then the entire Bashang camp will immediately fall into chaos!
Bomb the camp, maybe just in the blink of an eye!
"Woooooo
The low and long sound of the desolate trumpet resounded throughout the camp!
It's not a quick horn to get up, and it's not a war drum during military training! It's a long trumpet!
This is the clarion call for the whole army to assemble!
Whether it was a soldier on the verge of an outbreak or a soldier who was still in a state of confusion, when he heard the sound of the horn, he immediately reflexively reflexively put on his armor and began to converge towards the school field in the middle of the camp!
I don't know when, this huge school yard with a length of 500 zhang (Qin system one foot = 23.2 cm, one zhang and 10 feet), a width of 300 zhang, enough to accommodate millions of people, has been paved with a smooth and solid ground by the Daqin cement produced by Shangfang!
At the southern end of the school yard is a huge platform that is three feet high! On the high platform is a bronze horn with a significantly improved opening, larger and thicker! The two-zhang sized bell mouth is directly facing the school grounds!
As soon as the hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered from all over the Bashang camp entered the school grounds, they found that thousands of generals at all levels, who had not been seen for a whole morning, had come to the school grounds first!
Thousands of generals at all levels, including Wang Gan, Weng Zhong, Du Teng, etc., were all neatly dressed and stood in line on the left and right sides under the high platform!
On the high platform, Hu Hai, the second emperor of Great Qin, who was wearing a rare sword of the Son of Heaven, stood quietly on the high platform!
Behind him, there were six people, Li Si, Feng Quji, Wei Yi, Ying Teng, Dun Weak, and Zhang Han, three people on one side, quietly waiting on the left and right sides of the high platform!
In less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, without the command of a general, began to return to each of the 600 battalions that had been divided long ago, and then the 100 battalions were divided into six large groups and lined up neatly on the school field!
The whole process was rigorous and fast, without the slightest drag and water, and without any confusion!
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the school field, who looked straight and vertical, they had completed the assembly to the whole team in just a quarter of an hour, and Li Si and Feng Quji, who had never been to the Bashang camp, all showed horror in their eyes!
The strength of an army can be seen from military discipline and queues!
Obviously, the 600,000 troops on this school field who can assemble and complete the team in a quarter of an hour are enough to be called elite!
An army of 600,000 people wearing black armor stood quietly on the school grounds! The slightest murderous aura permeates the entire school field! Let Li Si and Feng Quji, who are on the high platform, feel cold all over their bodies!
This is clearly a battle-hardened elite soldier, and it is still a new army that is being formed!
It's just that when did the emperor let them go out to fight?
Li Si and Feng Quji were full of doubts!
"You are Great Qin soldiers! You are my army! Today, I ask you! Do you believe those twenty-seven words? ”
