Chapter 789 - Equally divided among the princes

Shule City, in the palace, is still brightly lit, as bright as day.

At this moment, Qingji was sitting with Gongzi Hong, Gongzi Fan, Guowei Sun Wu, and Imperial Historian Fan Li to discuss post-war matters.

"Wu Hong, is it counted? In the war in the Western Regions, before and after, how many losses did our army gain and how much did they lose? ”

Qingji set his sights on Gongzi Hong.

Hearing this, Gongzihong hurriedly replied: "Father, the statistics have been completed. ”

"In the battle of the Western Regions, the dead soldiers of our Chinese coalition army, including the missing (possible deserters), totaled more than 42,500 people, not counting the minor and serious wounded."

"More than 110,000 beheaded, more than 100,000 Persian troops captured!"

This is an unprecedented victory!

Rao is Qingji and Sun Wu, who have fought for decades and have never won such a victory for half their lives.

With more than 110,000 enemies killed and more than 100,000 prisoners, what a glorious achievement?

Who is comparable throughout the ages?

"Good."

Qingji bowed slightly, and said, "Wu Fan." ”

"Erchen is here!"

"Tomorrow, you will lead people to collect all the enemy leaders and place them on the north bank of Duanshui to form a Jingguan."

"No!"

Gongzi Fan immediately received the order.

In his eyes, a bloodthirsty, excited, and slightly panicked look involuntarily appeared.

The Jingguan with the heads of 110,000 enemies piled up can be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, an unprecedented thing.

"Father, my son thinks it's inappropriate."

Gongzihong sighed and stepped forward to advise: "In the first battle in the Western Regions, the Persians lay in wait for hundreds of miles, and the blood flowed like a river, which caused too many casualties. ”

"The killing is too much, because it is ominous, and the sons are afraid."

"If my father casts Jingguan with the head of the enemy again, this Shule City is afraid that it will become a ghost city in the future, within a radius of 100 miles, the soul is angry, and there will be no more people......"

"Please think twice!"

Jingguan is indeed a cruel thing, especially Jingguan of this scale.

What is "Kyokan"?

Jing, called Gaoqiu; view, que type also.

The ancients killed thieves and defeated the corpses, and they would build a Beijing view to think that they were a place to hide the corpses. There are ancient battle sites.

"Jingguan", also known as "Wujun", is to pile the corpses of enemy soldiers on both sides of the road, cover the soil and tamp it, forming a pyramid-shaped mound.

The same as the meaning of Jingguan is nothing more than "pit".

The view is connected with que, and both have the meaning of the gatehouse.

"Pit" generally refers to the killing of enemy prisoners of war, piled on both sides of the road, and covered with earth to form a small mound to show military might and deter the enemy, rather than necessarily digging a large pit to bury the prisoner alive.

It is conceivable that after the Battle of Changping in history, it was not easy for the Qin army to bury the Zhao army of 400,000 people alive.

It would be much easier to kill it first and then build a mound of earth, and it would also show military might and deter the Zhao people......

"Brother's words are wrong!"

Gongzi Fan immediately retorted: "I heard that after defeating the enemy, you must show your military exploits to your children and grandchildren, so that they will not forget the martial arts of their ancestors. ”

"In the battle of Wulei, our army achieved an unprecedented victory. This is the merit of the father, the merit of the Wu Kingdom, and the merit of the entire Chinese countries, which can shine through the ages! ”

"As for Shule, it is already vast and sparsely populated, and its cities are used as important military towns, so what does it matter if there are no other Li Shu to settle down?"

Hearing this, Gongzihong shook his head and said, "Brother Fan, this is not something you can understand. ”

"Fuwen, stop fighting for martial arts. In ancient times, the kings of the Holy Ming Dynasty crusaded against the countries that did not obey the king's orders, killing the first evil people and burying them as a great slaughter, and at that time there was a Jingguan to punish the sinful people of the past generations. ”

"This piled up of more than 110,000 heads is appalling."

"Now although the Persians are guilty, the father should be lenient and bury his corpse, why should he show off his power in Beijing?"

"This is not the royal way, please think twice before acting."

When Qingji heard this, he just said in a surging voice: "Wu Hong, the will of the widow has been decided. Tomorrow, you will be responsible for leading people to collect the corpses of all the Persian soldiers, burn them uniformly, and choose the address of Shule New City! ”

"In addition, all the soldiers who died in China should be burned one by one, and the bones should be properly collected and brought back."

"Don't let them bury their bones in a foreign land after sacrificing their lives for the country."

"Erchen...... Do as the king commands. ”

Gongzihong smiled bitterly and agreed.

His advice, after all, was not adopted by Qingji!

The corpses of more than 100,000 people naturally cannot be ignored.

After all, once there is a plague, many innocent people will be affected by the pond fish and die.

Therefore, whether it is the corpses of the Chinese allied soldiers or Persians who died in battle, they must be burned, buried, and turned into "fertilizer" in the land......

In short, it's to be in the ground!

As for the Jingguan piled up with the heads of more than 110,000 Persian soldiers, it is too terrifying, and in the future, within a radius of tens of miles, or even hundreds of miles, I am afraid that it will be deserted and inaccessible.

In view of this, Qingji had to consider building another Shule City.

At this time, Fan Li, the imperial historian, muttered: "King, there are more than 100,000 Persian prisoners in this battle, and the weight of weapons is even more incalculable, I don't know how the king plans to divide it evenly among the princes?" ”

"Hmph."

Before Qingji could speak, Gongzi Fan said dissatisfiedly: "Father, in the opinion of his sons, why should he divide it equally? In this battle, our Wu country contributed the most, and with the power of the overlord of Wu country, it is all the Persian prisoners of war and their weapons and baggage! ”

“……”

For the weight of weapons, Qingji does not pay attention to it.

It's just that these more than 100,000 Persian prisoners of war are not trivial.

With the strength of the Wu State now, it is naturally not difficult to eat alone, and the princes dare not speak out.

But, is this appropriate?

"Divide it evenly."

Qingji said slowly: "In this battle, all the countries in the world are involved, some people give people, and there is money and food to pay for food." ”

"Wherever the country sends troops, according to the size, a thousand will be given a thousand prisoners of war, and three thousand will be given three thousand."

"Whoever gives money and grain, according to the amount of the money, shall return a certain amount of weapons and baggage."

"If there is any surplus, it will be all the income of the Wu State."

"Fan Li, this matter is entrusted to you."

"No!"

Fan Li immediately agreed.

It is understandable that Qingji would make such a decision.

In this battle with the Persians, Wu took too much advantage, not to mention the submission of the Western Regions, which made Wu add a Western Regions Protectorate.

Counting prisoners of war, Wu could get at least more than 30,000 free laborers (slaves).

Qingji has already eaten meat, if he is reluctant to give even a mouthful of soup to others, he is too greedy, and he will inevitably look too ugly.

Moreover, there are still hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves in the country of Wu, and there is no shortage of labor at this time......

At this time, Qingji did not intend to tear his face with the various vassal states.
