Chapter 65: The Suffering of the People!
On the vast land, Yingji and his party of thousands of people ran on it, and as they gradually penetrated into the hinterland of Qin, Yingji also discovered the changes in Qin's country over the years.
Originally, although the former Qin State was looked down upon by the eastern countries, it was self-improving, and it relied on its own struggle to gain a firm foothold in the region west of China, and gradually developed and expanded.
Moreover, since the Bashu general Sima was pacified in Bashu, the Qin State has directly entered a leap and bounds of development, coupled with the abundant grain in the land of Bashu for many years, the people of the Qin State have never been hungry again.
Although they eat some miscellaneous grains and coarse grains, they can also eat a full stomach, which is not possible in any country in the world except Qi State.
However, Yingji and his party now came and found that the recent situation of Qin was really much worse than before, since Qin fell into the rebellion of the princes and the entry of the Chu army, the princes levied and extorted taxes for the expansion of the army in order to compete for the throne.
And the Chu army in the territory of Qin also went out from time to time to plunder the people of Qin, and the people were miserable and had to endure it.
Fortunately, not long ago, the Empress Dowager finally woke up, and after quelling the rebellion of the monarchs and mobilizing the main force of the Qin army to move closer to Xianyang, deterring the Chu army, so that the Chu army did not dare to act rashly, the people of the Qin State were freed.
But how can the wounds that have lasted for several years be so easy to heal, although the people of Guanzhong have not yet reached the point of being eaten by their children.
However, Yingji and others have seen beggars begging along the streets of the Qin State along the way, and the people are not clothed everywhere, and the foundation accumulated by the Qin State from the Shang Dynasty Reform Law is also extremely depleted, and the treasury is empty.
Although Qin's military strength has not declined, Qin's national strength is declining in disguise!
"Hey, I didn't expect that such a strong foundation accumulated by Shang Jun at the beginning would be consumed so much in just a few years. ”
"My Qin people are pitiful, from the land of Longxi to the land of Guanzhong after countless hardships and sufferings, my Qin people are almost bloody battles in the world, the fathers and elders of Guanzhong have succeeded one after another, and the blood flows into a river to have today's Daqin world, but in the end it is still the people of my Daqin who suffer. ”
"These are all the mistakes of the previous king, if it weren't for the hesitation before the death of the first king, the decision on the throne of the prince wavered. ”
"And in the later stage, he actually made Lone Lai the prince who had a relatively shallow power base, which simply triggered the struggle between Lone and the eldest brother who controlled the strong army!"
"The people are not wrong, but the first king is guilty!"
Yingji looked at the miserable people around him and said, these people saw that Yingji and his party of thousands of people were escorted by the army, and hurriedly dodged directly, for fear of colliding with the army.
In the past few years, the people of Guanzhong have been extremely afraid of the army, because once the army comes, they will rob their own people's property and food at home.
Even when the Chu army came to rob, they sometimes killed people, and the common people were simply miserable.
"Childe is cautious, others may be able to say such words, but only Childe must not!"
"Gongzi is the most valued of all the sons of the previous kings and is only one step away from becoming the prince, and now he wants to return to Xianyang to inherit the throne of the King of Qin. ”
Bai Qi stepped forward and said, Yingji nodded and understood that the current situation was at a critical moment, and this kind of words were indeed not something that should be said at such a time.
And when the common people saw this army coming, they had a preconceived idea of the existence of collecting taxes or robbing food as money.
Ying Ji looked at the reaction of the common people, and felt a pain in his heart, I don't know when and where these people who were extremely supportive when they saw the Qin army were extremely afraid when they saw the Qin army, these are the faults of the Ying royal family!
"Bai Qi, give some of the food brought out of General Wang Ling's barracks to the people, Gu has no ability to compensate these countrymen who have made great contributions to my Great Qin for generations. ”
"After Gu returns to Xianyang to take over the throne of King Qin, I will compensate these countrymen well. ”
"No!"
Bai Qi said, and then led his soldiers to directly pull out more than a dozen wagons transporting grain and began to distribute grain to the people, each of whom distributed ten catties of grain.
However, when these people saw the army coming, they rushed to dodge, and Bai Qi had no choice but to order his subordinates to forcibly distribute grain to the people, and forcibly stuffed each bag containing ten catties of grain into the hands of each people.
"Uncle, don't worry, the Qin State is about to change, and the future Qin State will only become more powerful and prosperous than the Qin State during the Shang Dynasty!"
"In addition, the turmoil in the Qin State is about to end, and we are all under the command of the prince of Yingji, who will soon return to Xianyang to take over the throne of the king of Qin, and will definitely compensate his wife for the people of the Qin State who have suffered from the turmoil. ”
Bai Qi directly stuffed the grain into the hands of an old man who was about fifty or sixty years old, and the old man didn't want to accept it and wanted to push the grain back to Bai Qi, but when he heard Bai Qi's words, he was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief.
"What the general said is true, the prince of Yingji has returned to the whole country and is going to return to Xianyang to take over the throne of King Qin?"
"That's it!"
Bai Qi replied, hearing Bai Qi's words, the old man's heart was instantly enveloped by a feeling of great surprise, and he said directly to the surrounding people who were looking at the army with the same fearful eyes.
"Everyone, listen well, don't be afraid, these are not the troops who came to collect taxes, but the command of the prince of Yingji, His Royal Highness the prince is about to return to Xianyang to take over the throne of the king of Qin, and everyone will not be able to live long in such a hard life!"
Obviously, this old man belonged to a highly respected person in the hearts of the people around him, and when he heard this old man's words, everyone gradually gathered from the original scattered state.
"Really, is this all true, His Royal Highness Gongzi has really come back from Yan Kingdom?"
"It should be, I have long heard that Ji Gongzi is the best existence among the many heirs of the previous king. ”
"I didn't expect that the soldiers under the command of Ji Gongzi are also so disciplined, they have not committed any offense against us in the autumn, and even sent food, there is no doubt that Ji Gongzi is undoubted. ”
Everyone began to discuss in twos and threes, the Qin people were different from the other people in the Tianxia Kingdom, and the vast majority of Qin people still had a general understanding of the situation in their own country.
Therefore, after hearing that Yingji was about to return to Xianyang to take over the throne of King Qin and preside over the overall situation, everyone was full of surprises after stabilizing the situation.
"General, I want to see my son, I don't know if it's okay?"
Thousands of people of the Qin State gathered together, led by this old man and said, Bai Qi hesitated at first, and then nodded, Bai Qi believed that with the character of the prince, these people who suffered from turmoil because of the fault of the royal family would definitely not care.
"This is natural, Childe is in the rear, please come with me!"
