Chapter IX The Conquest of Korea 3
readx;?? After receiving the news, the DPRK reacted quickly. www.biquge.info However, they definitely didn't expect one thing, that is, near the coastline west of Wang Jiancheng, a Qin army unit wearing light armor was preparing for the next battle plan.
Before setting out on the expedition, Chung To was ordered by Zhang Jiashi again, that is, under special circumstances, he could order the troops to act expediently.
What does this expediency mean?
Quite simply, if you encounter some problems from among civilians, it is difficult to deal with. They can take a direct approach to solving the problem.
Such an order, to be honest, is difficult for Chung To accept this point of view for a simple and pragmatic person. However, after communicating with the herald, a scribe who was promoted by Chen Ping, Chung Du understood that such a war and the execution of such an order was actually a kind of helplessness.
Although it is said that Jizi Joseon is adjacent to Liaodong County, under the premise that there has not been much contact, Liaodong County has a considerable lack of understanding of many aspects of Jizi Joseon.
Especially in terms of humanities, there are very few Liaodong people who know the language that is more inherited from the style of the Shang Dynasty.
Perhaps, arranging scribes to teach some officers who have a certain level of education in their own right, this kind of language is not a big problem, but compared to this, whether it is Zhang Jiashi, Bai Qi, Chen Ping, or even Li Zuoche and others in the war, they do not have too much expectation that it will have good results.
After all, it is very likely that the approach of pacifying the people of the enemy forces without gaining an advantage will backfire.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Jiashi took the spring ploughing period and sent troops to attack Jizi Korea. After all, during the spring planting period, many local farmers do not want to lose their homes and relatives due to the war.
In that small city, as well as in the area that had been captured by the Qin army one after another in the past few days, the corresponding officers communicated with the local residents under the premise that conditions permitted.
In this kind of area that has been effectively controlled, for many reasons, many villages and towns in Jizi Korea have quickly accepted the arrival of the new ruler of the Great Qin Empire.
Of course, the more important thing is that Li Zuoche this time is in accordance with the stabilization measures they implemented after consulting with Zhang Jiashi and others before sending troops. For example, the ordinary peasant households who obeyed the management and the corresponding landlord class, such as Haoqiang, would gradually change the various tax items that were now in Jizi Korea in accordance with the regulations of the Great Qin Empire.
This is not the point, the point is that the officers of the Qin Army who were sent out for exchanges conveyed a very important and beneficial policy for these people, that is, those who joined the Great Qin Empire will be exempted from all taxes this year.
Perhaps, this is an important reason why there have been no large-scale revolts in many areas that have been controlled.
Before Zhang Jiashi sent troops, he also gave Li Zuoche and the two of them an arrangement, that is, the combination of grace and power.
The previous series of measures can be regarded as a measure of favor, so for some Haoqiang and villages who are unwilling to cooperate, don't complain about what the Qin army sent out will do.
Although, Zhang Jiashi himself is not very willing to do this. But Zhang Jiashi knows very well that this approach is indeed a very effective solution to this problem.
Of course, if the Jizi Joseon itself did not have the same "same ancestry" relationship with the Great Qin Empire, and if it were replaced by the situation of the Americans in the Arab world in later generations, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that such an approach would be counterproductive.
After all, some things can become very troublesome when they are related to some factors.
In many senses, Zhang Jiashi did this in the hope that the voice of resistance would be much reduced, and then it would become an important way to steadily expand his strength.
However, despite this, some things that Zhang Jiashi has been mentally prepared for will still happen.
......
On March 24, 209 B.C., that is, one day in late May of the first year of Qin II of the Great Qin Empire, because some powerful landlords dared to openly kill the Qin army officers sent out as negotiating envoys, after receiving the exact news, Li Zuoche and Jian knew very well that according to the instructions they received, hostile forces could only kill one and set an example.
There may be some trouble in doing so, but in many ways it is the best way to solve such a problem.
A 500 lord under Li Cang's command called Tengjiao and 500 prisoner officers and soldiers under his command were transferred back from time to time.
Tengjiao received an order to let the convict army get rid of these powerful landlord forces that were now entrenched in a large village more than ten miles to the east.
After Tengjiao received this order, he naturally knew what he should do.
Tengjiao, who was born in a slave family under a large landlord of the original Wei State, got a more decent identity after the fall of the Wei State. However, because he no longer has relatives and is not good at farming, Tengjiao works as a helper in a tavern in a small town south of Rongyang City.
Tengjiao, who is diligent and flexible, has a rapid rise in status in the eyes of this tavern owner. The boss, who had no son, looked at his daughter and seemed to have a good impression of this young man, so the tavern owner had other ideas, that is, he hoped to let Tengjiao become rich and inherit his estate.
Things seem to be developing smoothly, and Tengjiao's relationship with the daughter of the owner of the tavern, and the people outside have become Li Nu's girl, and the relationship is getting better and better.
However, Tengjiao never thought that because of some things, before he could marry Li Nu, the tavern owner was framed and imprisoned by a local hero.
Tengjiao, who was flexible, quickly pulled Li Nu and left the tavern directly through the back door after discovering that something was wrong.
Perhaps, because of this, Li Nu avoided encountering some things that might happen to her, but because of this, the life hidden outside made Li Nu soon fall into a problem.
In the face of this matter, Tengjiao was unwilling to give up Li Nu, and could only venture back to the town once, seeking the help of some people who were friends with the tavern owner.
After eating a lot of closed-door soup, Teng Jiao reluctantly returned to the cave where they were hiding, but what he saw was Li Nu, whose body temperature had completely cooled......
After burying his beloved, Tengjiao could only leave this place in order to survive.
Lacking money and starving and cold, he could only do some things to the farmers on the periphery of some villages, and it was because of this that when he was stealing, he was discovered by the tourists in several villages, so he had the reason to be assigned to the construction site of Afang Palace.
Among the convict army, there are many people who have suffered worse than Tengjiao, but among these people, there are very few people who really kill people without blinking, after all, how many people are really willing to do this kind of thing?
However, after becoming a prisoner army, Teng Jiao knew very well that he was different from other prisoners now because he was a soldier.
Under the influence of Li Cang, Duo Bu and others, Tengjiao also realized the importance of soldiers obeying orders.
Therefore, after receiving this order, Tengjiao hugged his fists and promised.
And Li Zuoche and Jian may not have estimated one thing, that is, they sent Tengjiao to do this kind of thing this time, and they actually got a solution that can solve several problems.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Although there is still a certain gap in the equipment of the prisoner army compared with the regular Qin officers and soldiers of other troops. However, the average cost of these equipment is still higher than that of the county soldiers in the interior of Great Qin.
In this situation, the 500 people led by Teng Jiao quickly invaded this village.
Perhaps, the convict army still has some pressure in the face of the elite troops of Minzi Korea, but in the face of these strong men who are still holding wooden sticks, the convict officers and soldiers can be regarded as completely one-sided and crushing each other.
After dealing with the remnants of the resistance in the village, Teng Jiao held a blood-dripping iron sword in his hand and silently looked at the streets of the village, where a corpse lay from time to time.
He didn't announce the order now, because in terms of his background, many of the family members of these powerful men were innocent, and, looking at some ordinary people who were in tattered clothes and still trembling in this weather, Teng Jiao finally shook his head, not knowing what was silent because of something.
Compared with the poor and peasant households living on the outskirts of the village, Tengjiao quickly paid attention to the largest house in the village, and after thinking about it for a while, Tengjiao silently took a few hundred generals under his command to this house.
From time to time, officers and soldiers of the convict army dragged out corpses from the house, and some convict officers and soldiers came out of the house with their wounded companions in their arms, or carrying seriously wounded robes.
When a group of several people came to the outside of the house, a tun chief clenched his fist to Tengjiao and said, "My lord, everything has been controlled." ”
"Well, the order goes down, for the ordinary people in the village, no offensive things are allowed, and violators will be severely punished. Tengjiao thought about it for a while and made this decision.
"Whew!" the Tun chief took the order and left.
And when Teng Jiao and the others entered the hall of the house, a faint smell of blood came into their noses.
The aisles, walls, and overturned utensils were covered with a lot of blood that had not yet coagulated, as if to narrate the fierce battle that had just broken out in this place.
Tengjiao didn't pay attention to these, but silently looked at the weapons of more than a dozen prisoner officers and soldiers, trembling, kneeling in a pool of blood, it should be the crowd of Haoqiang's family.
Tengjiao looked at these people whose clothes and faces were better than the villagers outside, and said softly: "The men all caught the heads outside, and the heads were hung on the wooden poles for three days. Female...... You pick a few of them yourself, don't forget the brothers, give the valuable things to Sima to count, let the brothers clean their hands and feet, otherwise, don't blame the ruthless military law. ”
Tengjiao's words made these hundred generals stunned for a moment, and then immediately revealed a trace of ecstasy.
But they soon found out that Tengjiao actually turned around and left the house, and a hundred generals were silent for a moment and said, "My lord, you should come along." ”
"Nope. You can do it yourself, and don't let the brothers complain. Tengjiao waved his hand and left the house.
Perhaps, fate seems to be playing a joke on this man with complicated eyes, or rather, the sky is giving a compensation to this man who suffers his life but still maintains his own heart.
Walking on the dirt road of the village, Tengjiao saw some poor people, who were brave enough to sell some relatively simple items to these strange soldiers.
Although the prisoner army was born as a prisoner, under the management of Zhang Jiashi, he did not do anything that violated the military order.
Some officers and soldiers of the prisoners, seeing this scene, did not do anything bad, on the contrary, some officers and soldiers took out their salaries from their bosoms and bought some things after seeing some food.
The language barrier is a hard flaw, but gestures and other things are universal.
Perhaps they were still afraid of these strange soldiers who rushed into the village and went on a killing spree, and these North Korean civilians didn't care whether the money was justified or not. Once an officer or soldier shook his head and then made a gesture that he thought it was a reasonable price, these civilians directly accepted the price.
Teng Jiao didn't care about such a small matter, after all, there are some things, as long as they are not too excessive, and he has no interest in embarrassing these brothers who have been born and died together.
At this moment, a girl dressed in a relatively thin linen clothes, carrying a shabby bamboo basket in her hand, selling wild vegetables that should have been collected from the mountains, and saying something he could not understand, appeared in front of Tengjiao's eyes.
Teng Jiao just looked at the other party's face, and then didn't care about continuing to walk.
However, before Teng Jiao could take two steps, he once again fixed his eyes on the woman's face, and was stunned.
Some of the prisoner officers and soldiers saw this scene and did not know what their boss was doing. According to their point of view, if they fall in love with each other, they will directly file with their superiors, and it is not a big deal.
Zhang Jiashi is relatively lenient in this regard, as long as it meets the four words: you are willing and I are willing, and the records are recorded in the army, and the marriage situation of the prisoners is no different from the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi's command.
However, unlike many regular officers and soldiers who have started families one after another, the situation of the convict army, because of the nature of the convict army, has not improved much. Zhang Jiashi has no solution to this situation. After all, some things have become fixed thinking, and if you want to change them, it is not ordinarily difficult.
It's just that a few officers and soldiers quietly approached their boss, and what they heard was that the other party said a sentence in a language that was still in a daze: "It's too similar to ......."
Well, the officers and soldiers of the prisoner army, but not many of them were stunned, and after hearing these three words, they quickly remembered something......
In the end, Tengjiao, who came back to his senses, involuntarily followed behind the North Korean woman until the other party went home.
Hawkers, Tengjiao's relationship with these convict soldiers is not bad, and some convict officers and soldiers quietly bought a little wild vegetables on hand after knowing this situation. In doing so, in a sense, they can be regarded as helping Tengjiao.
Compared to this, Teng Jiao didn't seem to care too much, or didn't notice that he had now become a topic of conversation among the officers and soldiers under his command.
And Sima in the army, who was dressed as a few literati, quickly wrote a corresponding report after learning about this situation, and then sent it back to the small city together with the battle report and the record of the collected materials.
......
Perhaps, Tengjiao violated the military order or the operational requirements, but after Li Zuoche and Jian received the report, they did not intend to punish Tengjiao. There was one thing they thought was worth doing.
Because in Li Zuoche's calculations, the incident in Tengjiao is obviously a good way to kill multiple birds with one stone.
When Li Zuoche communicated his thoughts with him, he was surprised at first, but he quickly accepted such an idea.
But he still has a doubt, that is:
"Although this matter is said to be free of the need for General Zuo to make a decision, can it really be as the military advisor said?"
Hearing the question, Li Zuoche smiled slightly: "Lieutenant Shidu, dare to make a bet with Li." ”
I was interested: "Oh, what are you betting on, what is the way?"
The corners of Li Zuoche's mouth curled slightly: "Lieutenant Shidu, just bet on what kind of reply General Zuo will give us." If General Zuo thinks that this matter is completely worthy of our implementation, Lieutenant Shidu, I heard that there is a ...... in Dingxiang City With one more Chu Pavilion Qin Tower, how about the cost of one night? And vice versa. ”
looked at Li Zuoche speechlessly, this guy is not afraid of the tigress at home?
But, man, you know.
He glanced at the door of his room and said in a low voice: "Well, here, let's go back to Dingxiang County and make arrangements." ”
......
Chen Ping was naturally the fastest person to receive this encrypted message that needed to be transmitted by Hongling's envoy.
Zhang Jiashi is basically staying in General Zuo's mansion now, anxious, waiting for the day of becoming a father, and naturally has no time to deal with official business.
Chen Ping and Xiao He understand this matter very well, after all, for Zhang Jiashi, it may just be a major life event.
But isn't this matter a top priority for their group?
Chen Ping pondered for a long time after reading the secret report written by Li Zuoche himself. Because for Chen Ping, what Li Zuoche wrote on the secret report was indeed very helpful for the subsequent rule of the Korean region.
"Perhaps, this thing...... It's a cure for chronic diseases!" Chen Ping muttered this sentence.
And after putting this secret report back into the leather bag, Chen Ping walked out of his room, looked at the starry sky, and thought about something.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
The mobilization of the Jizi Joseon near Wangjiancheng was very ineffective due to many factors.
Thereinto......
"My lord, they're coming. ”
On a road leading to a town, in a forest, a Qin soldier in leather armor said this sentence to a hundred generals.
Bai Jiang nodded slightly, and whispered, "Let everyone get ready." ”
After some time, several Korean knights with torches, escorting a carriage, entered the woods.
No one expected that at this very moment, a dense stream of arrows would shoot out from the shadows in the woods.
These knights and carriages, men and horses, had several arrows stuck in their bodies.
The carriage even flipped over quickly under the mournful roar of the horses.
After a while, a Korean official climbed out of the carriage, but in front of him stood several sergeants with long swords in their hands.
The officer was about to say something, but as the long sword in the hand of a sergeant flashed continuously, and the light of the torches scattered on the ground swung in a red arc, a somewhat fat and bloated head slowly rolled on the ground......
The sergeant fumbled through the other man's clothes and found what he needed to find, then quickly nodded to the others and left the place......
...
