And Zhang Ji, who was being talked about, was the most leisurely person in the entire Daqin at the moment.

The matter of negotiating cooperation with hundreds of schools was handed over to Yingzheng and Lü Buwei.

Of course, the specific operation is still carried out by Lu Buwei, a referee and player.

Lü Buwei used his abundant knowledge and the new books that had not yet been compiled to suppress most of the hundred schools, and only Confucianism and Mo could overpower Lü Buwei.

But...... Confucianism and the Mohists have now established a deep cooperative relationship with the Qin State, and Xunzi himself has been tied to the chariot of the Qin State, so how can he end up having an unpleasant relationship with Lü Buwei?

In terms of military affairs, the Yulin Army directly scattered ducks and handed them over to the second generation of generals under his command.

In Zhang Ji's words, if you want to make meritorious contributions, if you want to lead the troops, then you will contribute your own people and money, and then contribute your own efforts to train the guards belonging to the King of Qin under your command.

What, why not your soldiers?

This military power will ask you if you want it, don't pull it down, and there are more generals and disciples who line up to find a way to beg him.

In addition to the Yulin Army, the 400,000 border troops that are currently the most basic defense system in the Qin State are in charge of Wang Qi, and Yingzheng gave Wang Qi permission to recruit soldiers to supplement the border army, and allocated a large amount of grain and grass and sophisticated ordnance purchased from the Mo family.

Meng Wei of the Lantian battalion led 200,000 soldiers, was reorganizing the army in Lantian and began to recruit troops to further expand the strength of the Lantian battalion.

After all, the soldiers of the Lantian battalion were mobile troops in the hinterland of the Qin State, and they could support them in a short period of time through the good roads built by the Qin State in the hinterland.

The 50,000 soldiers of the Lishan battalion under the command of Duke Qi did not move, but it was also changed to a two-day drill.

However, the biggest movement in the Qin army was actually a new army that was being formed.

It is said that it is a new army because this army was newly formed recently, but this army has a long history and achievements in the Qin State.

As we all know, the most elite armies in the Qin army are those with independent numbers.

But there was also an army that was not permanent, and was often improvised, on the eve of the war, and they wore no armor, no helmets, and were armed only with a Qin sword.

But with only rudimentary equipment, their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of most armies with independent numbers, and only the Iron Eagle Warriors dare to say that they have a ten-percent chance of winning against this army.

And the name of this army is called the Dead Soldier Battalion, and the soldiers in the Dead Soldier Battalion are called the Trap Soldiers.

Among the trapped soldiers, the vast majority of them were criminals from prisons all over the Qin State, and they were all death row prisoners who had committed capital crimes, a few bandits from the pavilion chiefs from all over the country who were captured, and as for the civilian and military people, few would choose to enter the death camp.

Although the food of the camp of the dead soldiers was rare in all the Qin army, the supply of wine and meat was almost unlimited, the baggage was also assisted by special troops to assist in transportation, and there were other soldiers who camped for it, and even violating military discipline was harmless, and if he survived and made meritorious contributions as an innocent person, then the future would be limitless, but there were still few people other than criminals who would choose to join.

After all, no matter how good the food is, people can still drink alcohol in violation of military discipline, but when people eat and drink, it is a severed head meal!

Once the vanguard army has completed the task of "opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water", and the commander of the army has given the order to attack, they must be the first to fight, no matter how dangerous the situation is.

He didn't wear armor, he didn't wear a helmet, and his weapon was only a Qin sword, but he had to advance against arrows that rained down and Changge that stabbed like a forest.

There is no doubt that the casualties of the dead battalion are the greatest, and the number of fallen soldiers killed in each battle is calculated in thousands.

On the other hand, the surviving soldiers were exempted from the death penalty regardless of the crime for which they had been imprisoned before the war.

Of course, being exempted from capital crimes does not mean that you do not have to be punished, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped, and living crimes may not be easier than capital crimes.

But every time the Qin army recruited traps, those death row prisoners would respond very positively.

After all, they are dying people, so what else is there to fear from losing?

It's better to fight, maybe not only can you avoid death, but you can also kill a few enemy soldiers, make meritorious contributions to become an officer, and get a field house and a knighthood.

You must know that the merits of the trapped soldiers are several times that of other armies, so if there is no crime and a clean person makes meritorious contributions, then what awaits him will be glory and wealth.

Back then, Marquis Wei Ran directly gambled his life to join the camp of the dead soldiers, and made great contributions as a trapper in the first time when the nations were united, and King Huiwen knew that he had such a brave and strong brother-in-law, so that he could be reused later.

But the disciples of the generals often do not need him to rise through this way.

And civilians, most of them dare not choose this path, and even if someone chooses this path, they all die on the battlefield, either relying on military merits to transfer to other armies, or they die in battle as trap officers.

Even if he was not transferred to other armies and did not die in battle, it was difficult to become the commander of the dead soldier battalion.

The state of Qin talked about the way of merit and profit, and the officers should not only look at the gains, but also look at their own losses. The number of casualties in the Dead Soldier Battalion is always the highest, so it is difficult to get promoted in terms of profit.

So far, there is only one person in the Dead Soldier Battalion, and he has successfully become the first person to be promoted to the commander of the Dead Soldier Battalion as a trapper.

In the tent of the commander of the Yulin Army

Zhang Ji knelt on the handsome platform, and in front of him, stood a man with dark and rough skin and an ordinary face.

His height is placed among the Qin people, and he can only be regarded as barely short and not short, but his arms are obviously a little thick, if it weren't for the two scars on that ordinary face and the traces left by the battle wounds on his arms, otherwise Zhang Ji would definitely suspect where this came from, the country farmer put on his armor and brought his knight out to deceive.

But who would have thought that this man who looked like an ordinary farmer of the Qin Kingdom was the first person to be promoted to the commander of the Death Soldier Battalion as a trapper.

"You say, your name is Teng?" Zhang Ji frowned slightly, looking at the man in front of him, "No surname?" ”

"Yes, General." Teng nodded.

Soon, the secret agent of Luo Wang handed over a piece of information to Zhang Ji.

Teng, a native of Nanyang, was born as a civilian, ten years ago he took the initiative to sign up for the dead soldier battalion to become a trapper, participated in Lü Buwei's campaign to destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and ascended first in the battle of Gongyi, becoming the first soldier to kill the capital of the Eastern Zhou Principality, in addition to killing one of the five doctors, one of the public doctors, three doctors, and 37 soldiers.

Because in the fourth battle of the joint column, the battalion of dead soldiers was defeated by Xinling Jun who raided the Qin army in the hands of Meng Fu, although he personally won many losses, but his subordinates suffered heavy casualties.

Later, he followed Meng Fu to attack Wei Zhi's sour jujube and other 20 cities, built Dong County, counted the military exploits before and after, and was awarded the title of public ride, and the field house was 20 acres each.

Zhang Ji closed the scroll, stared at the clear eyes, and asked, "What do you want from me?" ”

It's not that Zhang Ji is arrogant, but since he was named Keqing, Wei Wei and the leader of the net, countless officials of the Qin State have tried to worship Zhang Ji, begging for Zhang Ji's investment and help.

But Zhang Ji didn't accept those people, and at the moment, his only retainer was Zhao Gao, who was now studying in the school.

Today, Teng took the initiative to come to the door and said that he wanted to become Zhang Ji's retainer.

This is a public passenger, and it is a public passenger from the dead soldier battalion, with great military achievements, if it weren't for Ying, I'm afraid he would have become a general a long time ago.

Zhang Ji was in a trance, feeling that this name was a little familiar, but he was a little confused, and he couldn't remember where he had heard this name.

Suddenly, Zhang Ji made a fist with his right hand and struck it on the palm of his left hand, and suddenly realized.

It turned out to be him!
