Chapter 431: The Water Bandits' Choice! That's my benefactor!
Chen Li is very direct, direct to the point of not being emotional!
Although Yao Jia was a courtier, he was also a messenger sent by his benefactor.
How can there be dishes that have not been served on the table and have not talked much, so they go straight to the point?
What's more, Chen Li's words sounded bold, but in fact, he was deeply refused.
'All the good sons who have received the grace and righteousness of Chang'an Jun are willing to die for Chang'an Jun. ’
It also means that Chen Li will only use his sons and daughters to repay this kindness at most.
Repay the kindness, not to bring harm to the old and weak women and children!
Attacking the county seat, burning and killing food will attract revenge from the Chu State at any cost, and it will definitely harm women and children.
When children die too much to defend their homes, they also suffer from the harm they inflict on women and children.
Therefore, Chen Li's degree of reciprocation is vague and stingy!
Hearing Chen Li's words, many bandits lowered their heads in shame.
This is not in line with their morality!
Yao Jia was not surprised, but said calmly: "Chen Yishi's words are serious. ”
"Before leaving, Chang'anjun specially told Yao that all the righteous people can properly use Chang'an plough to reclaim acres of land to make everyone satisfied, which is the best reward for Chang'anjun."
"I also ask Yao to tell all the righteous people, Chang'an Jun knows that the situation of the righteous people is difficult, don't be affected by the word 'righteousness', otherwise it will harm the righteous people!"
Hearing Yao Jia's words, Wu Zhe and the others' heads drooped even lower.
As a nobleman, Chang An Jun helped them regardless of the return, and this time he obviously needed their help, but he also told them not to be trapped by righteous words.
And they are in vain to call the righteous men, and they are obstructed in the face of the demands of their benefactors.
Who is the shameless one! Who is the righteous man!
conscience, tormenting all the bandits.
Chen Li didn't care so much, and praised the pole: "Chang'anjun, really benevolent!" ”
Yao Jia just smiled at Chen Li's careful thoughts, and continued: "Before the autumn harvest last year, the Chu State sent an army of 470,000 to attack my Great Qin and seize my city, and my Great Qin raised 350,000 troops one after another to resist. ”
"In September, my Great Qin Chang'an Jun burned nearly 140,000 Chu troops in Dahong Mountain, and then went south to recapture Echeng, cut off the Chu army's baggage line, and trapped the Chu Shangzhu State Department on the Han River."
"So far, there are only 300,000 remnants of the Chu army, but my Great Qin still has 310,000 sharp soldiers."
"The offensive and defensive momentum has been easy!"
The burning of Dahong Mountain has already spread all over Daze, but when I heard Yao Jia talk about it today, the water bandits still couldn't help but praise excitedly: "Chang'anjun, general!" ”
"Shangzhu Guocheng is brave, but he is still not pleasing in the hands of Chang'anjun!"
"Ask for the protection of the great water, and bless Chang'anjun to annihilate the Chu army!"
"Haven't you heard anyone say anything about Chang'anjun's name? People are reincarnated by Zhu Rong, and they don't need the protection of the water! ”
The Chu army under Xiang Yan was seamlessly transformed from the bandit army.
This Chu army and Chen Li and other bandits are enemies with a deep hatred of blood!
How can one not be pleased to hear that the enemy is suffering!
Yao Jia was noisy by the bandits for a while before he continued to speak: "Chang'an Jun has trapped the Chu Shangzhu State on the Han River today, but how to exterminate the Chu Shangzhu State is a problem. ”
"I, the Great Qin Rui, are in land battles, and no one can beat them."
"But the river is turbulent, but only you righteous people can control it!"
"Therefore, Chang'an Jun invites this official to be the envoy, and sincerely invites all righteous men to join our army and show their majesty on the river!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
Wu Zhe, Tao Guang and all the other bandits looked at Yao Jia in confusion.
What?
We still thought that Chang'anjun wanted us to block the road and rob and plunder the fleet, at most it was just to burn the countryside and attack the city.
As a result, Chang'anjun actually wanted us to join the army?
A deep resistance rose in Chen Li's heart: "Join the army? ”
"No, no!"
"Don't hide it from Yao Shangqing, we are all carrying sea fishing documents, and there are many people who violate the laws of Chu, but there are also many people who violate the laws of Qin."
"It's just a matter of sinners like me doing some private things for Chang'anjun, how can I join the army clearly!"
If they are invested in the Qin army, the Chu State will definitely not let them go!
After the defeat of the Qin army, they patted their butts and left, what should they do!
Yao Jiawen said: "Don't say that! ”
"Chang'anjun has always been paying attention to you, and he sighs at the fact that you have to escape into Daze."
"That's why Chang'an Jun specially asked my king to get the right to forgive sins, the right to expand the army, and the right to make decisions on the spot."
"If there is a righteous man who is willing to join the command of Chang'anjun, Chang'anjun has the right to pardon this person and the guilt of his entire household."
"If Chen Yishi is willing to lead the whole village to join the command of Chang'an Jun, then the whole village can be pardoned!"
"If you can get the first merit, you can also be knighted and rewarded like ordinary people!"
Hearing Yao Jia's words, the confusion in the eyes of the bandits slowly turned into surprise.
Pardon!
According to the "Qin Law", only first-class military merit can pardon a person's guilt.
A household can have up to five people.
In other words, as long as they join the army, Ying Cheng will directly give them the first merit of the fifth level in vain!
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Tao Guang couldn't help but ask: "If I join the army, do my family need to join the army together?" ”
"My mother is old, and my baby is only seven years old, so they can't fight!"
Yao Jia smiled and shook his head: "My Daqin has not yet reached the point where I need women, children, old and weak to go to the battlefield. ”
"All young and strong people should join the army, and all women, children, old and weak can return to their hometowns to be commoners, and they can also gather and live together, as long as they abide by the laws of our Great Qin."
Wu Zhe also asked: "Can my baby be like Yao Shangqing in the future and become a big official?" ”
"Although I don't read many books, my baby is smart, and he learns quickly!"
"It's just me...... After all, I have been a water bandit and violated the law, will it affect the baby? ”
Yao Jia said seriously: "Whether or not I can stand out in Daqin only depends on whether he is talented, not what his background is." ”
"If my Daqin values my background, how can this official become the Emperor of Daqin!"
There was a little more temptation in Yao Jia's voice: "The year before last, Chang'an Jun set up a military academy under the order of the king, and it achieved great results. ”
"If there is no such battle, Chang'anjun is already preparing for education in Daxing."
"As long as Ling Lang has talent, he can study when he comes to Daqin, and it is not impossible to transform talent into talent, and it is not impossible to pay homage to the prime minister in the future!"
A famous water bandit couldn't help but ask, hesitating in his heart.
And with Yao Jia's answer, the atmosphere in the wooden house became more and more hot.
can live a peaceful and stable life, how many people are willing to be water bandits?
can have the opportunity to be a general, sitting on a good field and a beautiful concubine holding power, how many people are willing to be water bandits?
Even if someone likes to be a water bandit, are they willing to suffer with their own family?
Everything they had ever dreamed of was now in front of them, and all they had to do was fight a good fight!
Chen Li hurriedly scolded: "What are you doing!" ”
"His mother! In front of the distinguished guests, they are noisy and shouting about the appearance of Rausch! ”
"Shut up Naion! Don't fall into Peng Lize's face! ”
However, looking at the water bandits' brushy gaze sticking to Yao Jia, Chen Li understood that people's hearts had dispersed.
The team can't be brought!
However, Chen Li did not resent his subordinates.
Because Chen Li himself was also moved!
His obsession was to bring his brothers and their families to life.
And Ying Chengcheng gave him the possibility to realize his obsession!
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the ripples in his heart, Chen Li looked at Yao Jia seriously and said, "Chang'anjun helps me to wait deeply." ”
"However, this is a major matter related to the whole village."
"Please also ask Yao Dianke to stay and rest for a few days, and let me discuss it."
Yao Jia smiled and bowed his head: "This kind of thing is indeed suitable for good students to discuss." ”
"The families of the righteous also need to be thoughtful about where they want to live in the future."
The dishes were finally served on the table, and Yao Jia and a group of water bandits staggered and chatted casually, guiding the hearts of many water bandits.
After the banquet, Yao Jia refused the invitation to stay overnight, hurriedly said goodbye while it was still early, and galloped towards the next destination.
Looking at Yao Jia's back from afar, Chen Li was silent for a long time before he sighed bitterly: "It's Chen who is a villain in vain!" ”
"Chang'anjun, a true gentleman!"
Chen Li thought that Ying Chengcheng was here to collect debts.
Who would have thought that Ying Chengcheng was actually here to give a gift, and it was a big gift!
Wu Zhe sincerely comforted: "The owner of the village needs to be responsible for the lives of all the brothers, and his thoughts are naturally more thoughtful. ”
"Chang'an Jun is a benevolent person, and he won't blame the owner of the village."
"But......" Wu Zhe changed his words: "Why didn't the owner of the village agree to Yao Shangqing's solicitation on the spot?" ”
"Yao Shangqing thinks that he has lobbied many water villages, and is still lobbying more water villages."
"If it's too late, what if Chang'anjun doesn't need me to wait!"
Chen Li said softly: "Because there is more than one distinguished guest visiting today!" ”
Wu Zhe and Tao Guang were stunned: "There are still distinguished guests?!" ”
They may not be able to have a guest in this small broken water village for a few years, but today they are going to welcome two distinguished guests?
Don't......
As a light boat jumped into view, Chen Li chuckled: "It's here!" ”
"I was still worried about how to entertain two distinguished guests at the same time."
"Fortunately, Yao Shangqing left early."
"Call the brethren and welcome you!"
The bandits gathered on the shore again, making a sinister look.
However, what awaited them was an acquaintance.
Seeing the appearance of the person who came, Wu Zhe was stunned and asked, "Guo Zhong, why are you?!" ”
This Guo Zhong is just his own brother who is outside Peng Lize to inquire about the news, how did he become a distinguished guest!
Guo Zhong jumped off the boat and said bitterly: "I obeyed the instructions of the owner of the village, and waited on the shore early today, and finally waited for that distinguished guest." ”
But the man had no intention of entering the village, so he threw down a bamboo tube and left.
"The owner of the village, the bamboo tube is here!"
Guo Zhong had just lifted the bamboo tube when he was snatched by Chen Li's hand.
Cutting open the sealing mud and taking out the bamboo slips, Chen Li glanced at the words on the bamboo slips, and then recited in a deep voice:
[My king is benevolent, amnesty and others are not guilty, and the women and children of Erzhai are allowed to be common people. 】
[Chen Li, the leader of the Peng Lize bandits, was promoted to the captain, and immediately led the young and strong soldiers under his command to Echeng to accept the reorganization. 】
[Violators, behead!] 】
Closing the bamboo slips, Chen Li said coldly: "The King of Chu also hopes that we will use it. ”
"This is the condition and requirement that the King of Chu gave me and others."
Only then did all the water bandits realize a problem, they were actually involved in the dispute between the two great powers of Qin and Chu!
They can choose to become the Qin army, or they can choose to become the Chu army, but they can no longer be water bandits, otherwise no matter whether the Qin army wins or the Chu army wins in this battle, the winner will not let them go!
If Yao Jia hadn't come in person, they might have chosen to defect to the Chu army.
After all, the conditions offered by the King of Chu are not much worse than those of Ying Cheng.
It's a pity that Yao Jia came, he came in person!
And before that, Ying Cheng had already sent out the Chang'an plow!
Ying Cheng is their benefactor!
The conditions set by the King of Chu were not enough to drive Peng Lize's water bandits to be treacherous and ungrateful!
All the water bandits bowed their hands in unison: "We are willing to fight for Chang'anjun!" ”
Listening to the uniform voice, Chen Li also let go of the burden in his heart, and laughed loudly: "Chang'an Jun treats us with righteousness, how can we betray righteousness!" ”
"Brethren, pack your bags and sharpen your blades."
"Sui, join the army!"
