943. The Qin people rebelled
There were traitors in the rear of the Qin army, the front line faced the strong impact of the Qi army, and the rear could not replenish the troops and support, plus in the early morning, the front line of the Qin army was lost, and Wu Zixu's army rushed into the Qin army's position.
After Wang Jian watched the Qi army rush into the Qin army's position, he took a deep breath: "Our army is defeated!" ”
Wang Jian couldn't have imagined that the general he trusted very much, Qin He, would actually lead an army of 100,000 to defect to Qin.
Qin He's 100,000 Qin troops, in the face of their former comrades-in-arms Qi army, were not soft at all, because the intelligence was not timely, many Qin troops were attacked by them, and it can be said that the entire Qin position, because of the traitors inside, collapsed in an instant.
The lord of Qin, Wang Qian, clenched his fists: "It's really hateful!" ”
Wang Jian looked at the Qin generals beside him and said, "In time, we lost to the Qi State, and we will also take Qin He's head!" ”
The Qin army led by Qin He had a white strip of cloth tied to his arm to distinguish which was Wang Qian's Qin army and which was his Qin army.
A man in a black robe behind Qin He said to him: "The general's choice will not be wrong, the Qi State will definitely be able to give the general glory and wealth, and can also give this 100,000 army a good life!" ”
Qin He judged Qin because the secret guard of the Qi State went to say surrender, as for why he did not let the celebrity to lobby, but let the people of the secret guard lobby, it was because the secret guard had a lot of money, and at the same time, this secret guard was also because of the person who was proficient in vertical and horizontal discernment.
Why Qin He surrendered to Qi State, the simplest thing is because of money, Qi State did give Qin He a lot of money to surrender, but if he surrendered, Qin soldiers may not surrender, so Qi State bribed this 100,000 army.
promised Qin He that as long as he could rebel against Qin with the legions under his control, Qi would not only give Qin He a million taels of gold as a reward, but also give each of his soldiers a tael of gold as a reward.
It was gold instead of silver, and the state of Qi first paid Qin He 100,000 gold as an advance payment, and as long as the war was won, Qin He would get 1 million taels of gold.
Qin He is not a greedy person, but the price offered by the Qi State is too high, one million taels of gold, among the princes of this empire, except for the Qi State, I am afraid that no one can come up with so much money.
For the Qi State, to win this war, one million taels of gold is a very cost-effective deal.
The soldiers of the Qin State are less than one or two taels of silver a month, because of the cultivation and warfare strategy implemented by the Qin State, you are either farming or fighting, although you have drawn a big cake, but you have to eat it.
If you can't eat it, it's a cake that tempts you, and it doesn't make any sense.
Although it is said that you can be knighted and crowned an official if you make military achievements, and there are many people in Qin who have made a name for themselves, but the laws of Qin are strict, and if one person makes a mistake, the whole family will be connected, you may be a soldier who has just been knighted, but if your family makes a mistake, your title will be taken at any time.
For the Qin people, the pursuit of military exploits is not to be knighted and get ahead, but to get a chance to atone for their sins.
The atonement for the sins is that in the future your family has made a mistake, or you have made a mistake, and you have been coerced, and you can use this merit to resist your sin.
In order to get this opportunity to atone for their sins, the Qin people fought bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, just for themselves, and their families to live more safely, and not to be punished for some small things.
Although because of Shang Jun's changes, the people of Qin are full of food and are no longer hungry as before, but life is not as good as before, because you are either farming or fighting, and you can't do anything, otherwise you are not doing your job properly and you are making mistakes.
This made many Qin people have to join the army and farm, which also made many Qin people sacrifice on the battlefield.
The rapid expansion and strength of the Qin State had a lot to do with the sacrifices of these people, which gave the monarch of the Qin State a huge merit, but made the Qin people complain.
After all, if you marry and die, no one will feel good in their hearts, although the Qin people are full, but they don't have much money in their hands, or even nothing.
After all, the Qin State suppressed business and agriculture, there was no trade, no business, and there was only one way for the Qin people to get money, that is, to get a reward for their military achievements, or to report others and get a reward.
Although the Qin State is heavy on agriculture, if you want to enjoy life, you still can't lack money, so many Qin people are squeezed.
They want to fight, they want to farm, and they get nothing but food.
Qin He ascended to the position of general from a small soldier of the Qin State, and he was a beneficiary of the Qin State Shangjun's reforms, but he was not a supporter.
He hated Shang Jun, he was originally a member of the Qin State Jiangmen family, and he could be said to be a nobleman, but Shang Jun's reform greatly suppressed the nobles, and his family was one of them.
His father had made many military exploits, had a great title, and great privileges, although he was no longer a general, but enjoyed privileges, but because of Shang Jun's words, his father was dismissed, and because of trivial matters, he was executed.
Fortunately, several brothers in his family are all in the army, and they all have many military exploits, and his family has not been greatly implicated.
However, one of his elder brothers was killed because of an insult to Shang Jun's disciple, and he almost caused trouble to the entire family.
However, Qin He's family has more people, and the people from the Shang Jun faction have offended to death, and his huge family is only left with him and his wife, as well as his mother, and two younger brothers.
He felt that if he was still in the Qin State, maybe he would not live long, rather than waiting for death in the Qin State, it would be better to defect against the Qin State, not to mention, the bargaining chips offered by the Qi State were very rich, one million gold.
Although his two younger brothers, wife, and mother are all hostages in Xianyang, people are always interested in interests, and in the face of family affection and interests, they often go to the side of interests.
The suppression of the Shang Jun faction made him feel that he was in danger at any time in the Qin State, and with the temptation of the Qi State, he finally chose to defect against the Qin State.
After he betrayed the Qin state, he also took out gold to bribe several of his generals, and under his temptation, these generals also chose to abandon their families and join the Qi state.
It is not good for himself to be destroyed, but it will not work for a few people to rebel, he wants the entire legion to defect, and with the support of the gold of the Qi State, he gives each soldier a gold.
The soldiers did not have to worry about being reinforced, because there were many soldiers, it would be very difficult for the Qin State to pursue it, and Qin He promised that when this war was over, they could return to the Qin State with the gold, or they could follow him to the wealthy Qi State.
For the Qin people, leaving the Qin State is a life in another country, and it is something they dream of, but it is very difficult to implement, because the Qin State has a very strict hukou system, in order to prevent people from leaving the Qin State and going to other countries.
