Chapter 0148: Chapter 3 of the Covenant
After entering Yecheng, Shi Min did not order the whole army to enter the city, but ordered the generals to restrain their subordinates, and only brought 80,000 horses from his headquarters into it.
After all, Yecheng is the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, and the last coup d'Γ©tat has caused a lot of damage to Yecheng. It is conceivable that if Shi Min put hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers outside the city into the city, relying on the misdeeds of these Hu people and the annihilation of human nature, they would inevitably burn, kill, loot and carry out "carnival" activities in Yecheng regardless of it.
When the time comes, even Shi Min can't manage it if he wants to.
For Shi Min's decision, Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong and others were quite dissatisfied. However, Shi Min is the great Sima, the governor of the internal and external armies, and has the power to control the armies, and he has a lot of soldiers and horses, so the generals dare not speak out about this.
Shi Min had just entered the city, Zhao Sheng, Mu Cheng, Su Hai and other rebel generals hurriedly came to greet them, Shi Min greeted them for a while, and was not in a hurry to collect the weapons of the rebel soldiers, but with them on the streets of Yecheng, like a boastful parade.
As for Shi Xuan, he was put in a cage by Shi Min and waited for Shi Hu's whereabouts.
"This Yecheng is much more depressed than before." Shi Min sat on his mount, the red horse Zhulong, and glanced at the surrounding scene, not to mention the devastation along the way, but the streets and alleys were full of all kinds of beggars, homeless people and villains.
As Shi Min saw, in an alley, a woman who was so hungry that she was only skinny was still breastfeeding the baby in her arms. In this vicinity, there are also teenagers who grabbed steamed buns and ran.
The originally prosperous Yecheng has become like this, which really makes Shi Min sigh.
"That's what the Governor said." Zhao Sheng lowered his eyebrows and said, "Shi Xuan conspired against him, did not engage in people's livelihood, did not think about Li Shu, but exploited everywhere, the people of Yecheng, as well as the people of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and other states and counties in the south, were deeply affected by it!" Everyone hates to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin! This time, the Metropolitan Governor took Wang Shi to Yecheng, quelled the rebellion, and was about to execute Shi Xuan, which was really a happy move! β
Hearing this, Shi Min said with a smile: "Lord Zhao Sheng, as far as I know, Shi Xuan is your master." He became the Great Zhao Heavenly King, and you henchmen are rising with the tide, isn't that great? β
It seemed that he felt that it was not good to slander his former master like this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but smile wryly and said: "Metropolitan Governor, this person who knows the times is Junjie." Moreover, Shi Xuan is mean and unkind, often drunk and beats people for pleasure, and the villain has long been dissatisfied in his heart! This time, the Metropolitan Governor not only saved the soldiers and civilians of Yecheng, but also saved the Li Shu of the southern states and counties, and even rescued me Zhao Sheng! β
"The villain really admires the Grand Duke! In the past, villains often heard the world say that most of the governors are young and resolute, brave and unbeatable, not only born majestic, handsome and extraordinary, even Wen Taowu is one of the best in the world! The villain had doubts about this before, thinking to himself how could there be such a perfect person in this world? β
"But when I saw it today, it completely changed the mind of the villain!"
Zhao Sheng said with a flattering face: "The appearance of the Metropolitan Governor is so handsome, in my opinion, it is Song Yu, Pan An, Zidu, Song Wengong and the like, and those famous beautiful men are far inferior." The wisdom and resourcefulness of the metropolitan governor are outstanding, that is, Sima Zhongda (Sima Yi), Zhuge Kongming, Zhang Zifang, Guo Fengxiao and other strategists who are famous in China are slightly inferior. The ability of the Metropolitan Governor to fight is comparable to that of Han and Bai! Even the living Sun Wu is not far behind! Most of the governors are outstanding, but I am afraid that Cao Zhi, who is only eight years old, is in front of you, and he is sad! β
"Hahaha! Lord Zhao Sheng praised it falsely, praised it falsely! "No one doesn't like to listen to words that compliment themselves and praise themselves, Shi Min is a layman, so naturally he can't avoid vulgarity.
Hearing Zhao Sheng boast of himself like this, Shi Min didn't feel fluttering, but he felt very comfortable.
This Zhao Sheng is really a person who is exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, no wonder he is thriving under Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan's big ship is broken, and he wants to climb on Shi Min's boat.
Qin Mu, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Lord Zhao Sheng is also a person who reads poetry and books. This speech is quoted from the classics, easy to come, the adult is really condescending to make a CRRC government order, in my opinion, with the talent of Lord Zhao Sheng, it should be Honglu Temple! β
"Don't make fun of me, this adult." Zhao Sheng said with some embarrassment, "I've only read a few books, but I can't hold such an important position!" β
Shi Min waved his hand and said, "I want it, I want it." Yecheng was able to take it at the lowest cost, thanks to your actions. Lord Zhao Sheng, in the battle of Yecheng, you should be the first to take the lead, and the governor of Pontus will definitely give you a few good words in front of the king, not to mention that he still holds the position of the CRRC government order, but Feihuang Tengda must be indispensable. β
"Then there will be the Governor of Lao."
At this time, Qin Mu whispered a few more words beside Shi Min.
Shi Min suddenly said: "Lord Zhao Sheng, you may have to wronged the soldiers." β
Zhao Sheng immediately understood, and found some generals such as Su Hai and Mu Cheng, and asked them to order their subordinates to lay down their weapons and concentrate in the designated place to station.
Shi Min said again: "Wentai, Li Xin!" β
"The last general!"
"Each of you will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and use one tithe as a combat unit to maintain order in Yecheng. But if you come across a wicked person who takes advantage of the fire to rob, those who can be detained will be detained, and those who cannot be detained will be executed! We have to promulgate a notice to secure the people, and the three chapters of the military and civilian covenant law in Yecheng will punish those who kill, injure and steal. β
"No!"
Seeing Shi Min doing this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "The Metropolitan Governor is really a person who loves the people like a son. Most of the governors love the people very much, and they are strict in governing the army, but they are afraid that no one can look at the world! β
Zhao Sheng is telling the truth.
In this troubled era, Ci is not in charge of the army, and the army dominated by the Hu people is even more so. The Hu people themselves are brutal and unkind, full of anger, who cares about the life and death of the common people?
Not to mention anything else, the various armies of the Great Zhao State, when they beat a city, often had to carnival for one or three days, allowing the soldiers under their command to carry out tragic adultery and plunder, and even slaughtering the city, which is what they often do.
Being able to restrain your own subordinates and have strict military discipline is already a great thing in itself.
Shi Minyun smiled lightly and said, "I just don't want Yecheng to be destroyed too much. Yecheng is the capital of my Great Zhao Kingdom, it has been destroyed too much, and if it is to be rebuilt after the war, I don't know how much time it will take, and how much manpower, material and financial resources will be spent. β
Engaging in construction projects and building large-scale construction projects must be a matter of labor and money, and this has always been what Shi Hu is most willing to do.
At that time, it will definitely be the Han people who will suffer.
Shi Min is not a bad person, and he does not claim to be a savior, but if the Han people are too hard to labor and too many dead and injured, the vitality of the Han people will inevitably be greatly damaged. Originally, there were enough Han people in the north, but after Shi Hu's toss, it was estimated that he was half tired to death, and then Shi Min would take over a mess.
Shi Hu once said to him that if he conquered Yecheng and pacified Shi Xuan's rebellion, he would make Shi Min the crown prince.
But can you believe this? Anyway, Shi Min doesn't believe it!
Shi Min can only believe in the subordinates under his command, these people are where his strength and confidence lie!
