The Qin army rested for seven days in a row, and the soldiers were almost relieved from the fatigue caused by the siege some time ago.

In fact, whether it was the main force or the partial division, there was hardly much decent resistance along the way, either falling in the wind or having no resistance.

The difference in strength between the Qin army and the Han army is no longer a war between two dominant countries, but more like a hegemon in the Spring and Autumn period bullying an unknown small country.

South Korea may still have the strength to fight before Ji Wuye rebelled, and Bai Jin and Bai Yifei surrendered to Qin.

Since Korea's successive conquests against Korea during the service of several generations of kings during the reign of Mengfu and Wang Qi have captured many cities and mines with smelting workshops in Korea, Korea's "armament" and "iron weapons" that dominate the princes have declined.

"The world's strongest bows and crossbows come from Han", although this sentence is exaggerated, it is roughly true.

The Seven Heroes of the Warring States, although South Korea is the weakest, the people are poor, and they are still located in the land of the four wars, but they have still been able to survive tenaciously in the cracks of Qin, Zhao, Wei and Chu for so many years, relying on this strong bow and crossbow.

The reason why South Korea has such a powerful crossbow is because South Korea has the most iron ore during the Warring States period.

Sitting on a large number of iron ore resources means that South Korea has the largest strategic material reserves in the seven countries, and it can also start to study how to forge sophisticated equipment while meeting the needs of soldiers' equipment, which also makes South Korea have a large number of metal smelting bases with superb technology.

The largest iron mine in South Korea is located in Yiyang, which was captured by the army led by King Wulie of Qin himself, and Tangyu Jianfang, the largest arsenal in the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was continuously reduced because of the loss of a large amount of iron ore.

"The swords and halberds of Han Shu are all from the Stygian Mountain, Tang Yu, Moyang, Hezhen, Deng Shi, Wan Feng, Long Yuan, Tai'a, all of them are cut off by land, and the water intercepts the birds and geese, and when the enemy is killed, the armor and iron curtain are strong, and the revolution is all complete."

Each of these sword workshops has at least one sword that can be called a famous sword, and there is even a Tai'a sword that is listed as one of the top ten famous swords, which is enough to prove that the forging technology of these sword workshops is superb.

But these arsenals were either seized by the Qin army or gradually declined, and although the technology was preserved, the output was long gone.

The South Korean military also did not expect them to forge the same high-quality weapons and armor as before, and they only needed to produce them, so they had to switch to low-quality large-scale production.

The military is no longer strong, the army is gradually declining, and the people's livelihood such as economy and agriculture are also declining in the endless internal friction of South Korea, and South Korea is simply unable to form much threatening resistance.

If it weren't for Zhang Ji's temporary letter to Xianyang, which temporarily changed the way the Qin army remembered his merits, these Qin soldiers who actually didn't have many gains would have been impatient to ask for battle.

The Qin army has always recorded military exploits with the head of the capsule captured, but this time the surrender of many cities in Korea gave Zhang Ji the idea of experimenting with changing the way the Qin army remembered merits.

The world has been in turmoil for nearly a thousand years, and there are not as many people killed and injured as in this Warring States for hundreds of years.

The more you kill, the deeper the hatred between nations.

The Great Qin in history fell apart after the death of the First Emperor, and in the final analysis, it was also because the people of various countries still did not regard themselves as Qin people.

After all, their ancestors and fathers, perhaps their husbands or sons, died in the battle with the Qin army.

Too much hatred was too much to resolve, coupled with the ill intentions of the local nobles and the three elders, with the inciting of the descendants of the royal families, and the misdeeds of Qin II, which eventually led to the collapse of this huge unified empire.

And this time, the Qin army attacked Han and occupied the righteousness and the hearts of the people, so Zhang Ji ordered that the capture and beheading should be equally credited.

"If you enter the realm of the enemy, the people will know what they are sheltering, and the head of the Guizhou will know that you will not die, and as for the friends of the country, you will not abuse the grain, you will not dig graves, you will not cut down trees, you will not burn the accumulation, you will not burn the houses, you will not take six animals, and you will be rewarded by the people, so as to show your likes and dislikes, and believe in the people's period to seize the enemy's funds."

"No soldier will attack a city without transgression, nor will he kill the innocent. The father and brother of the husband who kills, the goods and wealth of the people, and the children of the concubines are all stolen. Therefore, the soldiers are punished for riots and injustice. Those who are added to the army will not leave their fields, Jia will not leave their mansions, and scholars will not leave their official mansions. Since its martial arts are discussed by one person, the soldiers are not bloody and the world is pro-life. ”

This is the insight that Zhang Ji got when he found his own "non-offensive" way, and he hoped to transform the Qin army into a volunteer soldier who would not harm the people or rob the people's assets during the internal war.

Of course, this idea was approved by Yingzheng, and the military did not have much opinion, but was worried about whether the soldiers could accept it.

But after the history of Su Nei scolded his mother, the military had no opinion.

If you want to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness in this era, you must pay a huge price.

Such as wealth and rewards.

The Qin State, which had completed the Zheng Guoqu, had the capital to pay a large amount of wealth and rewards in exchange for the army of tigers and wolves to raise the volunteers, which was nothing more than the need to increase the expenditure on military spending on the side of the internal history of the Su.

Why was the Qin army able to change from a soldier who was indistinguishable from other countries in the past to a division of tigers and wolves in the future?

In the final analysis, it is to make a living, fight hard to change fate, bring more rewards and fields to the family, and fight for a way out with your life.

And when the reward is enough, the soldiers of Qin are naturally willing to accept such a change slowly, but it takes a time to adapt.

After all, for hundreds of years, the Qin army has been accustomed to greeting with swords and arrows in the face of enemy soldiers, rather than trying to persuade them to surrender, so even under Zhang Ji's repeated orders, he subconsciously pulled the crossbow machine, pulled the bowstring, and brandished his sword to face the Han soldiers who tried to surrender.

But except for the soldiers who killed the people for money, Zhang Ji was not really held accountable.

There is a process of adaptation to everything, and it is normal for a soldier who is unable to change from being beheaded to being a captive knight.

After all, for the same reward, it is easier to take a prisoner than to decapitate it.

Most of the Han soldiers who survived would not choose to fight to the death if they were not in a desperate situation where they could not survive.

A Qin soldier may be able to kill one, two, or even three Han soldiers, but a single Qin soldier may capture an entire army, or even a Han soldier.

The gap between risks and benefits was significant, at least in the First World War of Korea.

Therefore, these soldiers who still chose to do it when they had the opportunity to surrender, although it is not excluded that there were deliberate soldiers, at most they were at least sent to the marching master and the marching master for oral education, and were punished to chop wood and make fires for the men in the army.

Only those soldiers who killed the people for the sake of wealth were severely punished. Although there are a few complaints in the army, the military discipline of the Qin army has always been strict, and these complaining soldiers only have some complaints at most.

As for negativity on the battlefield?

If you are negative, you will have no military merits, and if you do not have military merits, you will not be rewarded.

It is a battlefield where there are many monks and little porridge, and if you are negative, there will naturally be others who are willing to take away your share of military merits and rewards.

It's just that after a few days of rest, Zhang Ji felt that the Han army at the head of Xinzheng City seemed a little weird.

How to put it, it is completely different from the Korean army that has no intention of resisting before.

Zhang Ji boarded the car and saw a strong fighting spirit in the eyes of those people, all the Han soldiers stood on the head of the city with their waists straight, and everyone's spirit changed, which was completely inconsistent with Zhang Ji's impression of this Korean army.

What happened in Xinzheng City?
