Chapter Seventy-Three: The City People
No change
"How can tens of thousands of troops fail to advance because of the life and death of one person!" Lu Tu shouted. But when he looked around and was about to look for the support of others' eyes, he found that everyone was silent.
"Doctor Qu must not be forced by the Qin people." Lu Tu was silent when he saw the refractive light, and couldn't help but say again.
"Rude! The crown prince is the prince of the country, how can he ignore his life and death! Tian Wei pointed at Lu Tu angrily and scolded: "This has no king and no father!" ”
If it is a martial arts competition, ten Tian Wei is not Lu Tu's opponent, but Tian Wei is a nobleman, and he uses his father as a weapon, although Lu Tu is very angry in his heart, he can't say anything to refute. He is a Qi person, and the Qi people should obey the king's orders, the prince is the prince of the country and the vice lord of the Qi country, how can he kill the prince as a courtier? !
"Alas!" Infinite anger could only be vented with a blade, and the butcher knife on Lu Tu's waist slashed at several cases, chopping the wooden cases in half.
"Since Qu Zi is planning for my Qi country, he should persuade the people to disperse and let my prince of Qi return to Qi safely." Tian Wei looked at the refractive light who did not speak, and further persuaded and persuaded him. Whether the Qin State is vicious or villainous, anyway, the doctors of the Zhengchao Dynasty don't want the Qi people to be dragged to the battlefield by Refractory, which not only offends the Qin State, but also damages Ding Zhuang, who lost the Qi State.
"Not really. If you want to see the king, please tell me. Refractive straightened up his court clothes and replied.
"The king is worried about the prince, what if he sees Qu Zi?" Tian Wei instantly understood what refraction meant. The monarch's father is a knot that cannot be untied, and only the monarch's father can untie it, so he refracted and begged to see the king. As long as he convinces the king, it doesn't matter if Qin sends the prince or kills the prince.
"If not, I will leave my camp today." Refractive looked at Tian Wei without backing down, and his gaze was also aggressive.
"If the king wants Qu Zi to persuade the people to disperse......" Tian Wei took a step back, believing that the king would never agree to Qu Guang's request.
"Then I'll go back to Chu alone." The words of refraction shocked everyone.
The daily cost of the battle of the army was hundreds, and although Refractive had some money for the envoys, it was not enough to cover the cost of these tens of thousands of troops. The military expenses are all the merchants, city people, and farmers of Qi State, and you have three gold, and I have enough hardware. It is one to save the country and save the world, and it is two to open up the foreign dynasty and summon the people of the country in the future. Everyone was bent on gathering everyone to go to Daliang to fight, but Qu Guang wanted to turn his back on them.
"I returned to Chu alone, and it has nothing to do with me where the people in the camp want to go." Refractive saw that the color of the people changed, and added another sentence.
Tian Wei knew that Qu Guang's words were said to everyone present, but he thought that it was the same as the last riot, the king did not express his position on this matter, and everyone gathered here, once the king expressed his position, these tens of thousands of people would disperse on their own. He replied yes, quit the shogunate and went to Jimo King City.
When Tian Wei entered the shogunate, several big merchants who heard him come and take refuge quickly came out of the tent. The merchants secretly spread that the doctor of Chu promised to help Qi open up foreign dynasties and summon people, and they came when they smelled the smell. The few people who came out were the most anxious, and he said, "Doctor Qu really wants to return to Chu alone?" ”
"If the king doesn't allow it, these tens of thousands of people will no longer go to Daliang?" The old son of the Qian family, Wu Yanjia, lost a lot of teeth, and his speech leaked. He shook his head repeatedly: "No! The Qin people will swallow the world. If the Great Liang is defeated, the Qi country will perish. At that time, it was not to abolish loans and collect acres, according to Qin law, we and other people with city registration were not for the city, nor were they paid. ”
"How can you?!" Even Tian Doujin was taken aback. "I heard that Qin's law was harsh, and then I committed a crime against the law. Although we are registered in the city, how can we be punished as a city ghost if we are not guilty? ”
"Brother Wuyan, is this true?" Diao Kuan and Cheng Man, who came with them, were also taken aback. They are a salt merchant and an iron merchant, and they are famous merchants in the world like the Wuyan clan and the Tian clan, and they are also one of the twelve clans that hired Qi soldiers to go overseas. "There are also businessmen in the Qin State, and I have never seen the businessmen of the Qin State innocent and paid for the Chengdan ghosts."
"Quack ......" Wu Yanjia's laughter was frightening even in the daytime, and he looked at Diao Kuan and Cheng Man with some disdain, a kind of meaning that you industrialists don't understand in the world of the Ziqian family. The merchants of the Qin State are the merchants of the Qin State and the world, not the merchants of the Qin State. His merchants, who buy the things needed by the Qin State and sell the goods produced by the Qin State, are not real merchants.
Most of the cities of Qin are government-run, and there are private businessmen, and they are also heavy on their rent and tax, ten times more simple. Although Qin Law did not say that the businessman was not guilty and was also a ghost salary for the city, Qin Law said: "Those who are poor and lazy at the end of things will be regarded as a recipient." I can't change the city registration, and the Qin people are not poor under the rule? If you are poor, can An not raise her family to collect children, and pay for the ghost for the city? ”
Most of the merchants in the shogunate were in the shogunate, and everyone who said that there was no need for salt to say that everyone was cold. Because many of the industries in the Qi State were also government-run, they couldn't imagine the extent of the Qin-State government-run, but they completely believed what Wu Yanjia said. Ten times more simple, who can not be poor? Even if it is not ten times simpler, private competition with the official camp of the Qin State is like competing with the official camp of the State of Qi, who can compete with the official camp? Competition is only naturally poor, and if you are poor, you will be taken into official slavery. I can't help but tremble a little when I think about it.
Wu Yanjia said again: "For today's plan, I can only stop telling everyone and quickly move out of the camp to the west." If the court sends someone to tell him again, it can be said that the sergeant of the army is a reproach of the court. ”
"No." Refractive immediately objected. Wu Yanjia's method was different from him, he asked to see the king of Qi in the hope that the king of Qi would clearly support the Qi army in the war, but Wu Yanjia simply ignored the prince's life and death, and deceived the soldiers that the matter was false.
"The king will not allow it." Wu Yan Jia saw that Quguang pinned his hopes on Tian Jian, and was very disappointed, he knew Tian Jian too well. "Those who rule small rules cannot become famous, and those who are evil and shameful cannot make great contributions, so why should doctors stick to this?"
"I do not seek glory and fame and meritorious service, but to save the nations and save the world." Refractive sighed. "The life and death of the crown prince should be decided by the king. If the king refuses to allow it, I will tell the soldiers and the truth. ”
"This Qin people's plan to delay the army is also!" Don't say that Yanjia is cunning and cunning, and he is also in a hurry at this time. He is different from the high-ranking doctors of the Qi State, he knew very early on that the Qin State would be down in one day, and he would not really let the Qi State be east of Weishui; also knew that the Chu army was weak and Wang Jian was cunning, and the Chu army might not be able to defeat the Qin army again in this battle.
Now there are 30,000 soldiers in the camp, and there are 10,000 or 20,000 people on the way to the Great Wall. 50,000 people entered Chu to Daliang, 150,000 people against 600,000 Qin troops, the chance of victory is still slim, but no matter how slim it is, there will be a battle. If you don't fight, the loss of property and goods of those who can avoid relocation will be incalculable, and the people and peasants of the city who cannot avoid relocation without boats will either become official slaves of the Qin State or become nothing.
"The country of Qi is not my country of Chu, the prince is the prince of the country and the father of the people, the king has not allowed it, how can he ignore life and death?" Refractive tract. "And when will I, the Chu people, dare not disdain the spirit of the sky? Walking the path of the villain? ”
The refractive words were also full of helplessness. He couldn't deceive the 30,000 soldiers in the camp, and the 30,000 Qi soldiers regarded the prince of Qi as his father. If you rush to a large number of generals to make the monarch's father killed, it is unfilial. And if they are deceived, once they learn that this matter is not the deception of the imperial court, but the deception of their own people, it is not difficult to imagine what will happen.
Refractive refused to lie, and Wu Yanjia was helpless, Lu Tu asked directly: "The doctor is alone, what should I do?" ”
"The State of Chu summons strong men from all countries in the world to fight, if you want to go to Daliang, you can also go." Refractive tract.
"Shall I wait?" Lu Tu looked at the people standing beside him, "Ding Zhuang, who is from the city of Qi, is only more than 30,000, but gathering troops is not a matter of ten years." ”
There are 21 townships in the Qi country, and there are 6 townships in the industrial and commercial city, less than 30% of the population. According to the habits of various countries, the city registration is not to be recruited to fight, but this time, in order to save the world and enlighten the foreign dynasty, the children of the city who usually do not go to the army also carry grain and straw on their backs.
When Lu Tu was distressed that the number of people in the city was too small, a voice came from outside the shogunate: "The king urgently summons Dr. Qu and asks Dr. Qu to go to bed." ”
"If you tell me bluntly, will the soldiers wait for me to reach the beam?" Refractive soon left, and after he left, everyone was silent at first, and soon someone asked.
"Most of the battalion sergeants are landed people, if they know that the prince's life and death are all in their best strength to Qi to the beam or not, they will not go." Wu Yanjia, who was gasping for breath, replied.
"So what?" Tian Doujin jumped up. "If the farmer doesn't go, there are only more than 10,000 people in the city, how can he win?"
"If the king doesn't allow ......it," Wu Yanjia blinked his eyes and only said half a sentence.
