"If Linzi City is in chaos, then this rebellion will not be a matter of tens of thousands of deaths!"

After that, Heifu stood on the chariot, looked back at the five thousand deployments under his command, and frowned slightly, whether it was order or morale, he was not very satisfied.

Heifu led his troops west to Linzi this time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was "ordered to be in danger".

Generally speaking, in the Qin Dynasty, the county guard was in charge of civil affairs and finances, the county lieutenant was in charge of the affairs of soldiers and thieves, the county was in charge of legal affairs and prisons, and the county supervisor was responsible for supervising officials.

However, the post of county warden was originally a military post set up in the border area, so it also retained this authority to a large extent. For example, Zhang Ruo, the Shu guard of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, led the army to quell the rebellion and attack the state of Chu more than once.

Nowadays, there are many fewer such things, but in case of urgent matters such as beacons and rebellions, the imperial court will still authorize the county guards with experience in leading troops to put down the rebellion.

Jiaodong County is obviously in line with this situation, although Ren Huan is the county lieutenant, but he is good at building boat water warfare, but he is the county guard Heifu, but more than ten years of veteran soldiers, relying on real military merits, step by step to today's position, he is obviously regarded by Qin Shi Huang as the best candidate to quickly quell the turmoil in Qidi - to this day, the emperor can not firmly hold the balance of power and not let go, people with a discerning eye know that if the rebellion in Qidi cannot be pacified quickly, it is likely to release a bad signal to the whole world, so that the turmoil spreads.

Moreover, if Heifu and Linzi, Jibei and other counties can handle it, there is no need to transfer troops from Guanzhong, and then let Wang Ben's cattle slaughtering knife go out.

A few days ago, Heifu held the tiger talisman sent by the emperor, justifiably summoned the troops of various counties, and assembled in Chunyu County, which took more than ten days. When he watched the group of big-headed soldiers stand in line in front of him, he looked at their crooked queue, but he only felt a slight toothache.

"Lao Tzu has never brought such a bad soldier!"

The Qin Dynasty's army was mainly a volunteer peasant soldier rather than a professional soldier. There are only two sources of county soldiers, one is the soldiers from all directions, such as Jiaodong, mainly Taoqiu, the Qiantou of Dongjun came to guard, and there were few Qin people in Guanzhong.

The second is even more unreliable, that is, some local young people, who go to the county every year to do a month's watch, rotate to serve, these people don't dare to bring it out, it's good if they don't defect in battle, expect Qi people to kill Qi people? It's a bit difficult, let those Luzuo hired peasants who have already supported the government be cannon fodder, and Heifu is reluctant, he still expects this class to grow day by day.

In addition, there are also 3,000 Linzi soldiers who "borrowed" from Linzi to guard the salt works and gold mines, among which there are 1,000 Guanzhong Qin people, who are absolutely trustworthy. The remaining two thousand are still soldiers from Liang and Han, and they will not die for the Qin Dynasty, and their training is relatively casual and relaxed.

Although before Ren Huan took office, Heifu had already secretly intervened in military affairs, arranged for Cao Shen to enter the military Cao, and made Gongao a county fake lieutenant, and strengthened the screening and training of the Jiaodong garrison. No matter how much you practice, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Kanto County cannot be compared with the brave divisions of the Kansai region.

They are not as loyal as the Nanjun Township Party, nor are they as well-trained, brave and good at fighting as the good families of the Northland, and at best, they are garrisons that can maintain law and order, scaring and scaring the thieves.

The soldiers of Linzi County are also this kind of virtue, or even worse, so Heifu was not surprised at all when he heard that the lieutenant of Linzi County was actually driven down from Jishui by the Qi rebels, and returned defeated.

The "rectification" in the eyes of Qi people, in the eyes of Heifu, is not enough! The real strong army in the world, in Saibei and Hexi, the light warrior armed forces and county soldiers are just worse than each other.

But now, Hefu can only paste the mud up to the wall, who made him a paste......

At this time, Heifu was glad that he had taken precautions, and for the past six months, he had relied on moving all the fields to divide the land, so that each soldier had temporary ownership of 80 to 100 acres of public land.

As the price of dividing the land equally, 10,000 households in Jiaodong Luzuo and hired farmers cultivated public land for the government free of charge, and the harvested grain was used as military salaries to reward soldiers.

Therefore, these soldiers were also bound by the interests of Heifu, they were the beneficiaries of the fall of Zhutian, and they were naturally opposed to the rebels of Fuqi.

As for the proletariat who had been given land, such as Lu Zuo and hired peasants, they became a heavy baggage brigade and lagged far behind, and there was a shortage of labor in Jiaodong, so they had no time to participate in military training and farmed all day, and the order was too poor to take on the great task.

Seeing that he had only made a fifty-mile march a day, the team had become sparse and uneven, and the number of people who had fallen behind was nearly a thousand, and Heifu could only sigh silently in his heart.

He misses the Nanjun Township Party and the Northland Knights very much, but what can he do, Heifu can only take this group of miscellaneous troops under his command to quell a prairie fire that may burn the rich and rich to white ground!

At present, Linzi City is already in chaos, thick smoke is billowing up, there seems to be a sound of shouting and killing in the city, if it is too late, this city may not be owned by Qin.

But before the war began, Heifu had to beat his men to the blood.

"Second and third sons!"

Heifu spoke loudly, and asked the officials in different positions, in three or four dialects, to announce the words of the commander to the soldiers from different regions.

"The group of thieves is in turmoil, and they want to restore the Qi country, once the Qi country is restored, Zhutian will return, and at that time, you will not have all the fields, and you will be retaliated by the Tian family! But if you can win, Your Majesty will definitely have a reward! ”

"Stay in Linzi, Ben Shou, please taste the wine of Zhuangyue City together!"

When chatting with the big-headed soldiers, you must be direct and make your interests clear. Therefore, Heifu's two short sentences, simple and easy to understand, immediately aroused the response of the low-level soldiers, and the fatigue of the rapid march seemed to be alleviated, and everyone raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

But for the middle and high-ranking officers, Heifu had a set of crepe battle declarations, which by the way clarified the nature of the battle.

He asked Cao Shen, Gongao and others to come over, and said solemnly:

"In the past, the king of Chuzhuang once said that the warriors should stop fighting, prohibit violence, and protect the great meritorious, and the people and the wealthy are also! I deeply believe that this is what a warrior should do, and it is no less than the duty to expand the territory and show off his prestige! ”

Cao Shen agreed, and Gong Ao also straightened up and listened carefully.

"Therefore, this battle is to quell the chaos, not to behead it, only to punish the light chivalry and nobles, and not to indiscriminately kill the people of Linzi and Qianshou, and you must restrain the soldiers, and it is strictly forbidden to take advantage of the fire to rob!"

"Yui!"

Gong Ao promised loudly, and Cao Shen also nodded heavily, he greatly admired Heifu's concept of "martial artists stop fighting".

Cao Shen could understand this rebellion of the Qi people, and he was the same, his emotions towards Qin were complicated. On the one hand, he is a Qin official and is familiar with the law, but on the other hand, he is also a native of Chu in Peixian County, if his own Cao family's fields and houses are treated the same, Cao Shen asks himself, I'm afraid he will also draw his sword......

But if lives are not at stake, no one really wants to rebel. Whether it is the Qi people or the Chu people, most of the people, although their lives are a little harder, they still yearn for a peaceful life. If they don't make a difference, they swing their butcher knives at everyone...... Not to mention that Cao Shen's own conscience can't get by, heh, the 400,000 population of Linzi, once there is chaos, the entire Qidi, the peace of the entire Jiazi, will no longer exist!

With that, Heifu beckoned to the newly appointed flag soldier who was standing next to the car......

"Liu Ji, raise my flag!"

Liu Ji, who had a thick beard growing again, was looking at the huge Linzi City, as well as the pillar of smoke on its top thoughtfully, which would be shouted by Heifu, and he was scolded in his heart, but in his hand, he still held high the banner with "Jiaodong Shouwei" written on it!

Liu Ji, who is almost forty years old, is really a little embarrassed for him to do this job, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves, Liu Ji still blushed and shouted:

"Junjun, the wind is coming!"

The wind blew from west to east, blowing the flag slowly unfurling, and also blowing the smoke at the head of Linzi City, which was broken......

Heifu pointed at Linzi with a sword: "Gentlemen, ride this wind and follow me into Linzi!" Prohibit the violence of rebels, the soldiers of the rebellious country, the city of peace, and the city of ten thousand families! ”
