Chapter three hundred and sixteen after the war

After the news of Xiang Yan's defeat at Chenying City spread, all counties and towns south of Chen County recognized the current affairs as heroes.

The temporary county magistrates and county magistrates appointed by the Chu people, as soon as they heard the news, they suddenly felt something was wrong, and they applied oil to Xiang Yan in Xinyang at night.

Those who ran a little slower were broken into the county government office by the Qianshou of Chen County. The hemp rope was tied up and waiting for the Qin army to come and accept it.

These rebel leaders of Chenjun and Qianjun chose to forget that just three months ago, they were the ones who ate a pot of slurry to welcome the Chu army to the north and wanted to return to the embrace of Chu.

"Brother Zeng, we secretly helped Xiang Yan raise food and grass. Do you think General Meng will settle the matter later?"

To the south of Chen County, Zeng County, near the border of Chu, is in a luxurious and spacious house. The local prominent family stood up and sat down sometimes, looking uneasy.

"Hey, brother Sui, how could I have thought that Xiang Yan could not take Chen Ying and retreated all the way back to Chu."

The man named Zeng Brother was named Zeng Min, who was also frowning at this time.

"Xiang Yan once promised that when Chen County was regained, Zeng County would be granted to my Zeng family. I missed my ancestors, the dignified Zeng Marquis, and my descendants lost their aristocratic status, which was to embarrass my ancestors."

Zeng Min's face was both a little yearning and a little regretful: "Previously, I saw that Fengjun was expected, so I supported Xiang Yan's large amount of grain. Now my warehouse is almost over."

"Who said no!" Sui Yue echoed, "My ancestor of Sui was the brother of King Wu, and he is not farming for a living."

After saying that, the two felt the same sympathy. Look at me, I look at you, and shake your head and sigh.

Zeng Min, the ancestor of Sui Yue, was the king of Sui Kingdom. However, it was not a clan family. After several generations, he became a small nobleman who lived on his fiefdom.

When the Chu State destroyed Zeng State, the State of Sui State also implemented a feudal system. As long as the nobles of the two countries sent troops to the King of Chu to pay grain, the State of Chu State continued to recognize the power of these feudal nobles.

Qin and Chu fought, Chu retreated step by step, and Chen County was returned to Qin, becoming Qin's land.

Qin State pursued military merits and received titles, but those who had no military merits had to hand over their excess land.

Zeng Min, Sui Yue's father, completely lost his original aristocratic status and became a white man in farming. When the Qin King first succeeded to the throne, Guanzhong was short of food, and the head of Guizhou could receive grain and be called by the title.

The two families paid 1,000 stones of grain and donated a title. They just wanted to restore their former fiefdom, but they were probably far away.

Only when the title of the military meritorious title can you obtain a real fief. Since Shang Yang's reform, he has counted over and over again, and the title of Qin can count it with his fingers.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have set aside the chips too early."

Seeing that there was no hope of obtaining a fief in Qin State, Zeng Min had the idea of ​​surrendering to Chu State.

"I can see that Chu is not a match for Qin."

Sui Yue was just obsessed with greed, but he was not confused. After the Chu army retreated, he thought about it carefully.

Qin State conquered Han, Zhao and Wei in the north, and Chu State lost the northern barrier. Chu State wanted to join forces to fight against Qin, but even the target could not be found.

The Qi Kingdom in the east was like an ostrich, burying its head in the soil.

"Qin now controls the land of the Three Jins, collects the manpower and material resources of the Three Jins, and conquers Chu in the south. With the power of one country, Chu really cannot compete with Qin."

After calming down, Sui Yue analyzed carefully, "The Qin State can fail once or twice, but it doesn't matter, but if the Chu State loses once, it will hurt its muscles. What's more, the Chu army is now defeated!"

"Brother Sui, you have made sense." Zeng Min nodded and agreed very much.

The ancestors of the two families were the sons of the king and had books in their family. They studied since childhood and their knowledge was naturally better than ordinary Guizhou heads.

"What should I do now?" After nodding, Zeng Min had an idea in his mind, but he was not sure what Sui Yue was thinking.

"We should instead support the Qin army in attacking Chu!"

Sui Yue laughed in his heart. He came to Zeng's house specially to persuade Zeng Min to turn back in time.

The previous panic was just a test of Zeng Min.

The two families saved a lot of property in Zeng County. They were able to go to Chu State with their families with their families, and they could not get naked and pat their butts.

After understanding that Chu State was unreliable, Sui Yue decisively abandoned the feelings of Chu in his heart and decided to concentrate on becoming a real Qin person from then on.

······

"Xiang Yan was defeated and the counties in Chen County should be restored. There should be no problem."

After the war, after a short rest, Meng Tian began to arrange manpower to restore order in Chen County.

"The Chu army was short of food and collected grain from the Qianshou in Chen County, which attracted people's resentment. At this time, as long as you strictly abide by the discipline and do not violate the Qianshou in any way, you can easily win the hearts of the people in Chen County."

Meng Tian was worried that the generals under his command would retaliate against the actions of the Qianshou in Chen County. He asked the military officials to strictly investigate and punish the illegal behavior of Qin soldiers, and at the same time explained patiently to the generals.

When the Qin army fought in all directions, the generals rarely started from a political perspective to appease the hearts of the local people.

These rude men in the army are used to using the swords and halberds in their hands to solve problems. Over time, the local Guizhou Heads will feel uncomfortable.

"General, the people of Chen County are the things that the county magistrate should worry about. Isn't it a pleasure for us to just kill the enemy?"

After defeating the Chu army, Zhang Tuo led the army as the vanguard and ranked first in credit with Meng Hu. He saw Li Chao leave with a memorial to ask for credit, and Zhang Tuo was in a good mood.

At this time, Zhang Tuo wished he could raise his troops to attack Chu State early in the morning of Mao.

"Yes, the Qianshou of Chen County is still thinking about Chu State. When the Chu army comes, they will be surrendered and have to teach them a harsh lesson."

The blood of the old Qin people was flowing on their bodies, and they had no good feelings for the Chu State. The Chu voice in the words of the people of Chen County frowned.

After Duke Mu of Qin died, Qin's power declined day by day and was almost destroyed by Jin. Qin and Chu married each other for generations, and Qin contributed a lot to Chu.

Later, when the State of Chu saw that Qin was weak and unyielding, he sent troops to attack Qin and seized a lot of land in Qin. The old Qin people always remembered this hatred.

Even though Qin defeated Chu and took away the capital of Chu, the old Qin people were still worried.

"Destroy the country and love the people, and destroy it."

Meng Tian's eyes slowly swept over everyone and said seriously: "The king's ambition to unify the world is not to let Qin cavalry above the heads of the six countries and be high above, but to unify all directions."

"After eliminating the six kingdoms, there is no difference between Chu, Zhao, Qi and others. People in the world will only have one identity, that is, Qin and others."

What Meng Tian didn't say in his heart was that as long as the Qin State lasted long enough, perhaps the Chinese nation would call itself the Qin people.

"When you are fine, you will think about it carefully to me to achieve the great cause in the king's heart more smoothly, instead of just knowing how to fight and kill, causing trouble for the king......"
