Chapter 9: The Fall of Korea
In Xinzheng City, it is already a hell on earth, and it is unbearable.
Of course, this is only hell for the poor and lowly people, and for the nobles and the powerful, as well as their retainers and guests, Xinzheng is their paradise, because they can do whatever they want, and they can bully the people at will.
On the streets, from time to time, three or five drunken retainers would rush into the homes of the common people to do evil for the bandits.
"This family, I remember very clearly, there was a beautiful woman, and that figure was called a soul." A drunken doorman dangled and squinted towards a low Chinese house.
"The woman is the one who makes us destroy our souls, and we will go and destroy them." The four doormen behind him let out a lewd smile.
When the five men came to the door, they kicked the door open.
"Ahh The screams of women and boys rang out in the house.
"Who?" There were also men's shouts and reprimands.
"Your ancestors." A doorman smirked, stepped in, and a pair of eyes suddenly sunk into the nervous woman, and could no longer pull it out.
This woman does have a bit of beauty, although it is too far from the national color and fragrance, but in the eyes of these customers, she can be regarded as a beauty, and all her eyes are straight.
"Beauty, let's eliminate our souls." One of the doormen rushed straight to her, stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman.
"Get out!" The woman let out a cry of rage, grabbed an object, and slashed it at the doorman's head.
The doorman was drunk, and he was hit the forehead. Severe pain hit. The wine also woke up. The fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled cruelly: "You slut, let you wait, I can afford you, you don't want to give you a shame." ”
"Thief, dare." The man's face changed drastically, his face distorted, and he let out a loud roar. rushed up, wanting to protect his wife and children.
However, he was greeted by a shining sword light, a sharp sword slashed from his neck, and a large head flew up and fell far to the ground. The man's face was stunned, his face was angry, and he didn't understand until he died, how could these doormen be so bold as to dare to break into his house.
"Ahh The woman screamed. His eyes almost fell, and he yelled, "I fought with you." ”
"We just want you to fight. The more you fight, the more flavorful it gets. The five doormen smirked, surrounded the woman in the middle, grabbed her, tore off their clothes, and revealed Bai Huahua's skin, and the five doormen began to gallop.
The woman was unyielding and kept struggling, but she was not the opponent of the five doormen, only the part of being insulted.
"Let go of my mother." The boy was no more than six or seven years old, his face was flushed, and he opened his mouth to bite the leg of a doorman.
"Ahh You little beast. The doorman was furious, picked up the boy, put his right hand on the boy's neck, and pulled it hard, and the crisp sound of the bone grid shattering sounded, and the boy's neck was crooked, and he could not die anymore.
The woman was heartbroken, crying and fussing, but it was useless, and in desperation, she bit her tongue and committed suicide.
"Dead? If you die, will we let you go? The five doormen did not have the slightest pity, and then vented their animal desires.
I don't leave until I'm satisfied. Before leaving, a fire was set to reduce the hut to ashes.
"Since we have become an official army, we want the wind to be windy, to be rainy, and we can have whatever we like, how majestic." A doorman said triumphantly.
"Yes, the king's mercy, the wise lord, has given us a happy future." The other four doormen agreed in unison.
These five doormen were just the doormen of Haoqiang's family, because the Qin army attacked Xinzheng, and Korea was unable to defend the city, so they had to integrate these doormen into the army. When it comes to fighting, these doormen are incompetent, and when it comes to doing evil and oppressing the good, it is first-class.
During the Warring States Period, not all of the so-called doormen, but also a large part of them were idle market hooligans, and bullying the good people was his forte. Once he entered the army, he had an official background, and the oppression of the people of the country became even more unscrupulous. If you dare to say a word, your family will be ruined.
In this way, the whole Xinzheng has become a purgatory for the common people, and the common people live in a hot life.

Under the city of Xinzheng, in the camp of the Qin army.
Thousands of Koreans were selected by the Qin army and brought to the camp, which made these Koreans both uneasy and a little excited.
Although Qin Junqiu did not commit any crimes, he did not do anything to worry them, and he would help them from time to time, which made them very grateful. However, they had not yet entered the camp of the Qin army, and this was the first time they had entered the camp of the Qin army, so they could not help but feel uneasy, and they were still a little excited.
At this moment, I saw Bai Qi striding over, surrounded by Wang Jian and them.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Bai Qiwei's fame is too prosperous, these Koreans were very excited when they saw it, and they hurriedly saluted Bai Qi, saying, "I've seen the general." ”
The sound was like a flood of bells, shaking people's eardrums. The reason why the voices are so loud is not only because they are excited, but also because they are loud.
The reason why these Koreans were picked by the Qin army was because their voices were loud enough. All of them have thick throats and big voices, and they speak like thunder.
"Excuse me." Bai Qi waved his hand and said, "Fathers, how does Daqin treat you?" ”
"Good, really good!" A Korean man hurriedly said: "I have never seen such a benevolent army in my life, and the Qin army is worthy of being the king's master." ”
"That's it, Qin Junqiu didn't say anything, and he helped us."
"What excites us the most is that if the Qin army destroys Korea, it will give us land, and we will be able to live and work in peace and contentment like the Qin people, and we will have a good life. We are looking forward to the victory of the Qin army. ”
These Koreans are telling the truth, this time the Qin army is different from any previous time, because this is a war to destroy the country, not only to destroy South Korea, but also to win the hearts of Koreans, and no longer wantonly kill, which makes Koreans feel very relieved.
What's more, as long as Korea is destroyed, they can become Qin people. They will be given a share of the land. There is no need to worry about the nobles oppressing them. They can farm with peace of mind and live a good life.
"Good." Bai Qi nodded heavily and said, "I'm very pleased that you can think like this." I would like to ask you to come because I would like to ask you for something. ”
"General, please speak, we will do it well." Koreans think that it is natural to help Bai Qi do things, and they are all excited and unspeakable.
"You go to the city and treat Great Qin well to you. And your hope to talk to the Koreans in Xinzheng City. Bai Qi said what he meant.
"That's it? It's too easy, let's go now. ”
"The Koreans in Xinzheng City still don't know that the Qin army is good to us, so let's go and tell them."
The Koreans were very excited, and they all gladly accepted the order.
Under the protection of the Qin army's sharp soldiers, these Koreans left the Qin army's camp, came to the city, and shouted at the city, talking about the benefits of the Qin army.
"The Korean listeners in the city: We are Koreans, so I will tell you about the good of the Qin army. The Qin army was strictly disciplined, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. Be kind to us Koreans and help us. ”
"The state of Qin just wants to destroy Korea. It's not to kill the Han people, you can't die for the king of Han. ”
"Yes. What benefits can we get by working for King Han? The war is ours, the casualties are ours, the merits, gold and silver treasures are all nobles and heroes, we only have pain, never joy. ”
"We worked hard for South Korea, but in the end, South Korea's aristocrats and powerful people would still oppress us, so that we could not eat enough, wear no warm clothes, and have no meals. What's more, we will be ruined. Why should we fight for such a South Korea? ”
The more the Koreans in the city talked, the more excited they became, and later it became a denunciation meeting against South Korea, talking about South Korea's brutality and inhumanity, and the oppression and exploitation of the common people.
They are all ordinary people living at the bottom of society, that is, untouchables in the eyes of the aristocracy and magnates, and they do not know how much they have suffered, and how many hardships they have suffered.
The Han soldiers at the head of the city were still ridiculing the Han people under the city for talking nonsense at first, and they were coerced by the Qin army. Later, however, they became angry and disgruntled.
Not for anything else, just because many of the Korean sergeants were born in the common people, and they also had the experience of being oppressed by the aristocracy, which was no worse than the experience of the Koreans under the city, and it was difficult not to arouse their resonance.
"What they say is true, there are no lies. These days, we have all seen that the people and people in the city are miserable, and many families are ruined. ”
"That's right, those nobles, heroes, and doormen who treat the people of the country as people, in their eyes, the people of the country are untouchables, let them bully, and where there are beautiful women, they will go to the cheap. Wherever they have good things, they go to them and rob them. If it is unsatisfactory, it will burst out and kill people, and this Xinzheng is no longer the Xinzheng of the past. ”
"We fought hard for South Korea, fighting to the death with the Qin army, but, in the end, what did we get? We won't get anything, so it's better for us to turn around and go to the Qin army. ”
"Be quiet, can you talk nonsense? Is Qin Jun reliable? If the Qin army is to blame us, it will be miserable. You don't want to think about it, didn't Qin Jun say it well at the beginning about the killing and surrender of Changping, and wanted to spare Zhao Shu's life? As a result, the 200,000 Zhao pawns have not been killed by the Qin army, 200,000! ”
"What then?"
"How do I know what to do?"
Although the Han soldiers had no intention of defecting to the Qin army, the morale of the army was unstable, and their morale dropped greatly, and they were no longer so desperate.
The news was soon reported to Han Kaidi, who was very worried, and in order to rectify military discipline, he issued a strict order to control the families of Han soldiers and soldiers, and as hostages, they wanted to blackmail Han soldiers.
It's not necessarily wrong to do this, after all, these are extraordinary times. However, Han Kaidi did one thing wrong, that is, the people he sent to control the families of these soldiers were noble and powerful doormen, and these doormen were powerful and powerful, and first there was a robbery incident and a robbery of precious things. Later, it developed into rape of soldiers' families, and even murder.
In this way, the Han soldiers were completely angered, and in desperation, these soldiers opened the city gate and let the Qin army enter the city.
Bai Qi got the news and decisively ordered the Qin army to enter the city.
When Han Kaidi got the news and rushed to suppress it, he saw that the Qin army poured into Xinzheng City like a tide, and the destruction of Korea was already ironclad and ironclad. (To be continued......)
