Chapter 877: Butcher He Er
Chapter 877: Butcher He Er
After Qin An got the report from the special forces, he knew that Zhao Gao's 50,000 army was ten miles away, and although Zhao Gao and the army did not converge, it did not mean that they would exceed ten miles.
General Cheng opened his mouth and asked, "Emperor, the other party is faster than we expected, we have 5,000 troops, and even if we add the officials of the county government, there are only 6,000 troops.
If you want to deal with the siege of 50,000 troops, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. I don't know if the emperor has a good way?"
Qin An said, "Yes, but what I want is to try not to provoke a war and directly persuade them to surrender."
"They came directly towards the Emperor, and Zhao Gao was full of hatred for the Emperor in his heart. How could they possibly surrender." General Cheng spoke.
Qin An smiled: "Zhao Gao really won't surrender, and I don't need him to surrender, let alone allow him to surrender."
"That ......"
Qin An stopped General Cheng from continuing, because he knew what the other party wanted to say.
"Although Zhao Gao will not surrender, others will. What I want to convince is that the 50,000 army is here, not Zhao Gao.
As for the generals, if he wants to surrender, then it's better, if he doesn't want to surrender, I'll kill him."
"The Emperor is wise." General Cheng said, "By the way, now the nobles and nobles in the city, as well as the leaders of the anti-Qin forces, have come to the city wall.
Does the Emperor have something to say to them?"
"It's fine." Qin An said.
Subsequently, Qin An came to a group of nobles and leaders of anti-Qin forces, they were all from Zhao, and if they could, they still wanted to help Zhao's team.
So Qin An brought them up in order to prevent them from helping Zhao Gao and them.
"See the Emperor." The nobles and the leaders of the anti-Qin forces saluted Qin An one after another.
Qin An waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, there are three purposes for calling you here today, the first is to let you see the offensive of the 50,000 army.
The second is to let you take a look at Daqin's current military strength, and the third is to ask you.
Do you need an era of peace, or do you want an era of constant war?
It will take two hours for an army of 50,000 to attack the city, so it will take two hours to show you the military strength.
Now all we can do is ask you to answer me, what kind of era do you want?"
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they felt that Qin An was joking with them.
Peace and war, everyone knows that they choose peace, and who wants war madly.
Qin An saw that no one answered, so he smiled and said, "You don't answer, I think you want war, because war can give you the benefits you want."
"What are the benefits of war?" One person spoke, and seeing that he didn't look like a nobleman, then he was the leader of the anti-Qin forces.
Qin An asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Ho Er." He Er directly said his name, he had already thought that if he could be called, the government must have mastered some of his own things, and it was useless to conceal it.
General Cheng nodded slightly at Qin An.
Qin An was sure that He Er was not lying, and continued to ask, "Do a good job, how many people do you have?" Also, why did you gather a force?"
He Er said in a deep voice, "Since the emperor can arrest us here, he must have mastered all my affairs, so why do you need to ask me again?"
General Cheng said angrily, "If you want to say it, you can say it. Why talk so much."
"Hmph." He Er snorted coldly, "I'm just an ordinary butcher, and there are more than a hundred people who eat with me. If I don't gather them together, I'm afraid everyone will starve to death.
The court never cares about our life or death, can't we still find food for ourselves?"
"You dare to slander the court, I don't think you want to live anymore." General Cheng said angrily, "Someone is coming, take him down and cut him down."
Immediately, two soldiers grabbed He Er's double
Arm.
"Stop." Qin An snorted coldly.
The two soldiers immediately stopped their movements and stood aside.
General Cheng immediately said, "Emperor, they are arguing with the imperial court in vain, and according to Qin law, they should be sentenced to beheading." Look at the book
"That's the old Qin law, the new Qin law has long been changed, anyone can talk about the court, the officials, and the current majesty.
Whether His Majesty is a Ming monarch, a tyrant or a faint monarch can be discussed. Including me, I can talk about it.
What can't be said about the husband walking between heaven and earth? Is it because they have done something wrong that they are not allowed to speak out?
There is no such truth in the world, remember, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan."
Immediately, Qin An waved his hand to let the two soldiers retreat, and continued, "He Er, you are right, three years ago, the imperial court did not do well enough.
But now it should be different, I have gone all the way, there have been many people who have planted potatoes, that is a high-yield potato, with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, don't say that your family has not planted it."
"Planted." He Er said, "Here, on behalf of my subordinates and the entire village, I am very grateful to the emperor.
If it weren't for the emperor's potatoes and corn, I'm afraid we wouldn't know what it's like to be full for the rest of our lives.
There is also salt, which is something that only the aristocracy can enjoy, and now we can use it, and the price is very cheap, and even the method of making salt is made public, as long as you don't want to spend money on it, you can make your own salt.
We have taken these great benevolences and virtues to heart, but we have already left a record in the government and belong to the anti-Qin forces.
Sooner or later, the court will kill us, so I dare not disband my men."
"There is no need to disband, since you are a butcher, then do a good job as a butcher, just register with the imperial court and know that you are a butcher.
And I'm going to set up a slaughterhouse here to slaughter chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, sheep, and so on." Qin An said, "If you follow me when the time comes, even if you can't be rich and expensive, at least you can have meat for your meal."
Not only that, but there is also extra money to take home and buy clothes for your family and various other things.
Not only you, He Er, but also other people who oppose the Qin forces, although you are walking on the streets in the open.
Anyone who dares to arrest you for this matter of anti-Qin, I will be the first to spare him.
But if you think that you are all right, and you have become my people, and you start to bully the good people, then I will be the first to spare you.
All the leaders of the anti-Qin forces, I declare once again that I agree with the existence of the anti-Qin forces, but you must not possess weapons or do anything evil.
At the same time, it is not possible to break up China, and any attempt to split China is treason and complicity.
And this time is not indefinite, your chance is only one year, and after a year, those who do not come forward, the court will arrest them."
