On the edge of the Yangtze River.

More than ten Northern Chu soldiers carried muskets and controlled more than a hundred prisoners of the riot army.

"Be honest!" Chao Hei shouted: "Drop the armor and weapons... put them one by one! Hold your head in your hand, half-squat down, go there... Who dares to break his head?"

Another military discipline officer brought people over, put away his armor and weapons, and brought him sacks.

Chao Hei's ass then shouted again: "Searched the silver and objects on them..."

The soldiers stepped forward and searched the prisoners.

Seeing the military discipline officer with a stern face and staring at the soldiers' movements, Chao Hei smiled and said, "Don't worry, our soldiers will not be greedy for this little money."

The military discipline officer didn't say anything and was still staring at him.

"Hey." Chao Hei said in a long and whisper: "Our military pay is paid with treasure money. It has been several months. It is easy to carry the treasure money and it is cheap to buy things. Can we be greedy for this money? Is it necessary to take it back and repay it again. Once it is paid, it will be exposed? Why should we do it?"

As he spoke, silver, copper plates and jewelry were thrown into the sack in front of the military officer.

But the military discipline officer always looked at every soldier with a stern face.

After a while, the group of prisoners were searched. Chao Heiyang took them to the Yangtze River to take care of them, and then went to take another group of prisoners.

"Boss, we are not greedy for the money, why do those who manage military discipline regard us like that?"

"What do you think?" Chao Hei's ass didn't like being watched like that, but he still explained to his subordinates: "Put your hands and feet cleanly!"

"Our hands and scripts are clean..."

Someone lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you hear it? Today, the King of Jin killed five people who violated the discipline in the city."

"Ah? What's going on? Which battalion is from?"

"I know, two of them belong to the Third Battalion. Seeing that a family in the city was almost killed by the rioters, only two daughters were left. They wanted to do it all the time, thinking that no one knew, but they didn't expect that they were caught by the King of Jin..."

Chao Hei's ass shook his head and said, "They are stupid too. Can you give me less rewards after this battle? We are elite soldiers. What does it mean? Our soldiers' salary is more than three or five soldiers in Nanchu. If you want women, money, what's there? It's really not worth it to be a deal here."

As he said this, he gradually understood something he didn't understand before.

Why is the conditions for the imperial court to conscription so deadly that only a strong and good man like himself can apply for it?

Why is the court willing to spend three or five times the money and grain to support elite soldiers?

King Jin said that word to people like him..., the word that General Zhang often said... Oh, I have high hopes.

When Chao Hei's ass thought of this, he became a little proud.

Fifty thousand people went south and defeated the "million-strong army". He felt that he was worthy of the high hopes of King Jin and the amount of food he received...

As the sky gradually darkened, Qin Shanhe ordered a reward for the three armies.

Although there was no wine in the army, the meat was quite rich today. Chao Hei had a lot of food and found that the military judge had calculated the military achievements and informed the soldiers of the reward overnight.

The weather in September was pleasant, and these soldiers from Northern Chu sat on the edge of the Yangtze River, surrounded by a bonfire. After hearing the reward, they were all very excited.

Someone shouted, "I will use military songs instead of wine to congratulate you!"

Chao Heichun knew that those who spoke in this kind of literary style were generally generals from martial arts schools.

He had always envied others and immediately started to cheer: "Okay! Let's have a song!"

The military song sounded and the atmosphere became jubilant.

There are young people in their twenties gathered together and are very lively.

Chao Hei's ass was promoted to the level of his merits and received a lot of rewards. He was in a good mood and shouted several songs in a row. Finally, he even pulled other barracks to compete.

"Whoever loses will swim in the Yangtze River."

"Come on, you! Just us landslides, we didn't let the river water sweep away."

"Hahaha, this is the first time I have seen such a big Jiang. It's so fucking big..."

"Come on... General Niu said he wanted to perform a boxing technique for everyone..."

"Okay! I will cheer for General Niu..."

Chao Hei's ass looked at General Niu's powerful boxing skills and felt quite proud. He was making a loud noise. However, General Zhang stood up and sang a military song, and immediately compared them again...

As he cheered, he didn't know who shouted: "Go to bet, whoever loses will run around the prisoners three times."

"Hahaha, so many prisoners are not allowed to run away to death?"

"Let Qin Shuai come to referee..."

"Who is brave enough to call Qin Shuai..."

“…”

Chao Hei's ass muttered in his heart: "It would be enough to let Qin Shuai come out and sing a song."

He wanted to make such a fuss, but he really didn't dare to do so, so he shrank his head and swallowed the bad idea back.

On this day in the army, he felt that it was much more interesting than before to dig food in the field...

Suddenly, Chao Hei's ass thought that if he had no brains and rushed to join the army that day, his whole life would have passed.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sad...

~~

Qin Shanhe looked on the warrior stage for a while.

He did not participate in the jubilation of the soldiers, but walked to the camp behind him and went outside Wang Xiao's tent and asked, "Is the King of Jin here?"

"Come in."

Qin Shanhe walked away from the camp and saw Wang Xiao standing on the ground in a strange posture.

"King of Jin, this is..."

"Oh, nothing, practice your core strength." Wang Xiao said, "What's wrong? Want to drink? Just drink in my tent, don't be seen by the soldiers."

Qin Shanhe shook his head and said, "I just saw the soldiers celebrating the achievements, and suddenly I understood the painstaking efforts of King Jin."

Wang Xiao turned his head in confusion.

"so what?"

"Our soldiers are different from other soldiers."

Wang Xiao sighed: "I hope they won't become bad."

"In the past, King Jin trained elite troops, divided the fields, reformed the law, and opened the sea... I don't understand these, but today I understand that these are the premises to ensure that our military discipline is strict and that all wars are invincible. King Jin really considered it for a long time."

"What did you think about after the war?" Wang Xiao said: "It's not that I think about it for the long term, but that these are positive cycles. Economy, politics, and war have always complemented each other."

Qin Shanhe smiled bitterly and said, "I reviewed it several times and found that it was not my ability to fight than Meng Shiwei. We were far better than him in all aspects from soldiers, supplies, military laws...."

"Somewhat feels?"

"Somewhat doubts."

Wang Xiao stood up, wiped the sweat from his face with a cloth, and said, "Do you sympathize with Meng Shiwei and his son?"

"Not sympathy." Qin Shanhedao: "I think I am the same as Meng Shiwei.

In the past, when I was in Liaodong, I lost to Jianlu every time I fought. At that time, I was always defeated by Huang Taiji and Dorgon. I felt ashamed as soon as I went to the battlefield.

Fighting to the death will only be criticized by the court. On the contrary, those civil officials who only shirk responsibility will continue to increase their ranks. The battle is so breathless. In the end, I simply surrendered..."

Qin Shanhe said, silent for a long time, and then said, "If I had died in Shenyang at that time, I would have treason and murder my father... my evil deeds in this life were hundreds of times more evil than Meng Shiwei."

Wang Xiao could see that Qin Shanhe was not very happy.

No matter how much the battle in Jiangnan is, he doesn't make people happy. He saw his former self in Meng Shiwei, struggling in this troubled world but helpless.

Qin Shanhe whispered again: "The King of Jin took me away from Liaodong and entrusts my trust. But I have been thinking these days, what kind of virtue can I get the opportunity to atone for my sins..."

"What I am afraid of is not Meng Shiwei's badness, but his badness is natural." Wang smiled.

"Absolutely bad?"

"Well, if you do this, that's the person who is bad. All military leaders are like this, that's the system has collapsed."

Wang Xiao reached out to pat Qin Shanhe's shoulder and said, "But you are different from him, you don't think it's natural to do evil."

"King of Jin..."

"Um?"

"I came here to say... Although I am twice as old as you, I regard you as a reborn parent."

"Don't be pretentious." Wang Xiao found a wine bag and threw it over, saying, "I thought you were here to blame me for not giving you all power, and I also came over to supervise the battle."

"I dare not think about this. I am a sinner and cannot lead the army to the south alone. This is what I want to tell the King of Jin tonight. Will someone else take charge of the next conquest of Jiangnan?"

"You don't have to consider what sinners are not sinners." Wang Xiao said, "I thought about this battle in Jiangnan and gave it to you for command, so I won't come. The reason I came in person is indeed because I was worried. But it's not that I didn't feel at ease."

"I do not understand."

"How to say... Our Chu Dynasty is sick.

Looking back now, Huang Taiji and Dorgon are not very powerful. If it weren't for too many problems with our Chu Dynasty, we could easily wipe them out.
