Chapter 232: Giving Keqing, Sealing the Captain, and Leading the Net
"Xianyang people Chang Yu, originally a Xiangbang guest, entered the palace with flattery, the queen mother, the Shanyang, the marquis of the long letter, the palace carriages and horses, the clothes and gardens, all to be wanton. However, he was greedy and deceitful, and his desire was unfed, and he used Taiyuan County in Hexi to be more devastating to the country, conspiring to usurp and rebel, but conspired with the party and invaded the palace.
Fortunately, he was a loyal minister and a good general, and he broke the plan and quelled the rebellion.
However, the violent rebellion is unprecedented, and it must be severely punished.
Twenty people, including Chang Yu, Wei Wei, Nei Shishi, Zuo Yi, and Zhongda Doctor Lingqi, were all beheaded. The car is cracked to destroy its sect. and his people, all of them won the knighthood, the light one was a ghost salary, and the heavy one was relocated to Shu. ”
Zhang Ji read the first half of this edict in one breath, and the voice spread throughout the palace with the blessing of internal force, so that everyone could hear the cause, process and result of Chang Yu's rebellion, and at the same time announced the punishment of Chang Yu and his henchmen.
In this regard, the ministers have some new views on Yingzheng, the young monarch.
Ying Zheng's punishment of Chang Yu and others is definitely not harsh, and it can be said to be very mild and lenient.
Car splitting and clan punishment are inevitable, as long as the person who plots rebellion will not be able to escape these two items according to the Qin law, as for the head of the clan, it refers to the first car split, after death, the head is hung up to warn everyone.
As for the ghost salary, it is a type of prison sentence, so named because it was originally paid for the temple.
Those sentenced to ghost wages will become miscellaneous servants in the government, and will do heavy manual labor for three years without pay, but the government will also provide food, clothing, shelter and transportation for the criminals.
The relocation of Shu refers to the exile of criminals to Shu, and the household registration will also be moved away to enrich the local population.
The land in Shuzhong is abundant and can be called the "land of abundance", but the development is still not perfect, and the population is not abundant, so the migration to Shu is also to bring new labor to Shuzhong.
At the same time, it was difficult to enter and exit Shuzhong, far away from Xianyang, which also reduced the hidden dangers for the Qin country.
Of course, the most critical point is that although the people of Bashu are attached to the Qin State, they still have not been able to completely return to their hearts, and they need to migrate more outsiders to disrupt the population distribution of Shuzhong, reduce the independence and autonomy of Shuzhong, and completely let Bashu be attached to the Qin State.
Therefore, it can be seen that Yingzheng's punishment of Chang Yu and his henchmen is not too harsh, and only Chang Yu and his twenty henchmen, as well as his clan, those doormen and servants except for those who died in battle, all of them saved their lives.
Moreover, Chang Yu and his henchmen, except for Ling Qi, are all reckless in the market, where did they come from, at most, there are only some relatives, and there are not a few people at all.
In the case of the kings of the future, I do not know that it will take tens of thousands of people to shed blood to appease the wrath.
Zhang Ji ignored the whispered comments of the ministers and continued to read the second half of the edict.
"Lieutenant, the fifth doctor Wang Qian, loyal to the country, meritorious in quelling the rebellion, promoted to the first class, for the left chief, given 74 acres of land and mansions, and a reward of 100 gold!"
Hearing this, Wang Qian, who was dressed in black armor, trembled, walked out of the ranks of military generals, showed excitement, put his head on the ground, and bowed: "Minister Wang Qian, thank you!" ”
Prostrations are the most important rites, but even when they are rewarded, few people perform them.
But Wang Jian didn't care about this, and even his voice trembled a little when he thanked him.
It's not that he has flattery, it's really the reward given by Yingzheng is definitely a great gift for Wang Qian.
In the Qin State, it was extremely difficult to raise the title due to the Ying theory.
And there are countless famous generals in the Qin State, although Wang Jian boasts that he is not inferior to the veteran generals Wang Qi, Meng Fu and others, but he does not have the opportunity to command any large-scale battles, and the title has always been stuck on the five masters.
Although Wang Jian has a low-key life, it is not that no one appreciates Wang Qian, and the position of lieutenant shows that Ying Zichu recognized Wang Jian back then.
But it was the position of lieutenant that limited Wang Qian's military exploits.
The lieutenant was in charge of internal security, and he also had the heavy responsibility of commanding the garrison to garrison Xianyang, which shows how much Yingzichu trusted Wang Qian.
But despite being in an important position, as a man, who doesn't have the dream of fighting on the battlefield and making meritorious contributions?
Don't look at the difference between the five doctors and the chief Zuo, but there is a world of difference.
This trench has stumped countless famous generals of the Qin State in the past dynasties, and even Wang Qi has barely been promoted to the head of the left house in his lifetime.
Although the military merit system of the Qin State provides a ladder for ordinary people to climb up, the soldiers from ordinary people are nothing more than the five great masters in their lives.
It's not that the military merit system doesn't allow them to be promoted, and it's not that the kings and magnates of the Qin dynasties don't allow it, but their own background has caused their achievements to reach the limit and they can't be promoted to Zuo Shuchang.
The Zuo Shu Chang of the Qin State is already in the ranks of high-ranking officials, and the promotion of the Zuo Shu Chang is also from the Dafu Jue to the General Jue, which is a watershed in the title.
The five doctors with the highest rank of the eldest lord can only own 25 hectares of land and mansions each, while the lowest level of the generals can own 74 hectares of fields and mansions each.
However, in order to be promoted to generals, it is not enough to behead and military merits, but to comprehensively consider all aspects of ability, at least have a certain level of cultural literacy, and have a certain vision in military strategy, rather than only commanding between battle formations, and also have the ability to dispatch tens of thousands of troops.
Wang Jian has all met the standards of these cultural, military and other abilities, and all he lacks is opportunities.
He needed a military merit that would allow him to earn enough to be promoted to general, but Wang Jian never got this opportunity.
I thought that I might not be able to be a general in my life, but I didn't expect Ying Zheng to wave his hand and promote him to the head of the left.
According to the number of beheadings this time and the profit of your own casualties, although it is also considered a military merit, it is far from enough to be promoted from the five doctors to the chief of the left, but this time it is of special significance.
Of course, Wang Jian is not so high that he must get a general with his real military exploits, and he doesn't care about Yingzheng's purpose, as long as Yingzheng appreciates him, it is enough.
Naturally, it was not only Wang Jian who was entitled, but his son Wang Ben was also on the list of rewards, and he was promoted from the first lord to the fifth doctor, and he also came to this feng shui lane between the eldest doctor and the general.
Li Xin and Qiang, who hit Chang Yu hard when he assassinated Zhao Ji, were given the third-level title hairpin, and then incorporated into the guard army drill.
After a reward, everyone got a satisfactory reward, and Shane's voice came one after another, but when he read the last column, Zhang Ji frowned and didn't continue to read.
"Why didn't you keep reading, sir?"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Ji with a smile, and took the initiative to pressure Zhang Ji to continue reading. But no matter whether Zhang Ji reads it or not, the content of the edict has been changed to take effect under the seal of King Qin, and it is not that Zhang Ji can not take effect if he does not read it.
After thinking about this, Zhang Ji slowed down slightly, took a deep breath, and read out the last sentence of the edict.
"Zhang Ji, a native of Wei Anyi, first escorted the widow back safely, and repeatedly rescued the queen mother, loyal to Daqin. And pacify the chaos, take precautions, its merit is the highest, so it is given to the guest qing, the guard captain, and lead the net, and order him to lead the guard army to escort the widow into the Yongcheng Qi Nian Palace after a month, and perform the crown salute! ”
