Chapter 1016: The Big Picture Has Been Decided
It is conceivable that this rebel army's hatred for the Northern Xinjiang Army has gone deep into the bones.
Therefore, even if this Northern Xinjiang Army surrenders, I am afraid that the final result will not be good.
The medicinal powder of Qingu made the invincible rebels gradually weaken, lost their combat effectiveness, and relieved the difficulties of the Northern Frontier Army.
They intend to dispose of the enemy while they are weak, and never to suffer from it.
However, the emperor's personal guard also brought a secret order to the guards.
It said that except for the enemy generals and diehards who announced to the world to kill them, they could not trap and kill ordinary soldiers.
Instead, they were asked to send those who had surrendered and their families back to their places of origin, and those who had no relatives to disperse on the spot to carry out reclamation, and the necessary resettlement materials would be delivered later.
In fact, there are many cases of killing and surrendering troops after the war, except for very few killings, most people do not kill for the sake of killing, but are forced by the situation.
For example, if you don't kill them, what will you give them to eat? And if there are so many people, if there is another riot, I am afraid that they will fight back and destroy themselves.
Moreover, there are many diehards who have faked their surrenders......
This is also the reason why the Northern Frontier Army wanted to take the opportunity to kill the rebels.
However, the medicinal powder of Qiangu can prevent this, without an antidote, their strength will be reduced to about the same as that of a boudoir woman, but it will not hinder the reclamation. Although the efficiency is a little slower and a little tired, it is better than killing directly.
Just when the Northern Xinjiang Army eliminated one of the main rebel forces with the help of medicinal powder, the other rebel army was marching forward and came to Qi'an Pass after occupying hundreds of cities.
This rebel army has more than 300,000 people, and Qi'an Pass is only garrisoned by less than 20,000, plus they have colluded with Soren before.
According to their previous correspondence with Sooren, Qi'anguan will open the door for them.
This knock can be said to be confident, but when the rebels come to pass, it is a different scene.
The walls were towering, and the solid gates were closed.
There were no white flags on the walls either......
The strategist said to the leader of the rebels: Zihai was killed, Soren was arrested, and the news from the palace was that this new leader was not a good master. Even on the third day of his tenure, he killed the eunuch in charge of his side, although he did not explicitly order the specific punishment of those who objected, but it was rumored that many people died violently for no reason, and there was a saying of heavenly punishment in the capital, saying that those people had done too much evil and were punished by heaven......
The leader was a middle-aged man at least forty or fifty years old, lean, with a ruffian face, and snorted coldly: Hmph, damnation? The tyranny of the Jing Dynasty is the common people, and they are the ones who should be damned!
Strategist: It seems that there are uncertainties in Qi'anguan, so we must wait for a while to explore the truth before making plans.
In the eyes of the strategists, although the other side only has tens of thousands of defenders, success is imminent - as long as they enter the Guanzhong, enter the imperial city, and sit on the emperor's throne, they can replace them...
But the more this time, the less impatient you can be.
The leader was probably a little carried away by the successive victories during this time, and disagreed with the advice of the strategist: before Zisu Xiao'er sent a general to lead tens of thousands of prisoners to rush to the aid of Northern Xinjiang, there are less than 20,000 guards here, and the pass is even more empty, so when will it not attack at this time?
Ordered, attack Qi'an Pass.
In the first charge, the opponent had just entered the range of bows and arrows, only to see the sparse row of archers on the city wall slowly stretching their bows and arrows.
...... The rebels saw that the defenders were weak, and they did not pay attention to the one or two hundred people standing on the city wall.
According to the previous rhythm of attack, with this point of defense, they could climb the city wall and break through the city gate with less than 10% casualties at most......
However, they found that the defenders had arrows with small bags tied to them, either shot into their bodies or falling to the ground, the packets burst open, and the powder spilled out of them, and quickly disappeared into the air.
At first, the rebels thought it was a powder bag, but they didn't expect it to happen, but as they ran, they realized that something was wrong.
By the way, they found that their bodies were getting heavier and more tired, and they saw that they were only a few dozen meters away from the city wall, but it was difficult to take a step, and the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands completely crushed them.
More and more rebels are "tired", and even those who can move are tired, unable to wield knives and guns, let alone run for a long time.
That's right, it was Qingu's medicinal powder that turned the tide.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the rebels planned to retreat, and Zhang Chengzhong, who did not go far, led the army back to help, captured all the rebels of this group, unloaded their armor, or returned to their hometowns, or sent to the frontier to reclaim the wasteland.
As a result, in less than a month, a crisis of national annihilation was settled.
It has been two months after Qin Gu got the good news from the front.
During these two months, many major events have taken place in the DPRK and China.
The first is the frequent occurrence of Divine Damnation in the capital, and the turbulence that operates in the shadows seems to be contained by an invisible force.
Then Qingu publicly beheaded the soap kernel.
The two months in the dungeon were also like years, from the beginning of the high-spirited and ambitious, to full of resentment in the hope that Qingu would be subverted by the huge force he cultivated and colluded with, but he only heard the news of the violent death of those he had planted again and again through his informants. He knew that all this must have been done by the new emperor, but the crux of the matter was that no trace was left.
And the other party found some scribes and began to preach everywhere, this is the result of committing rebellion, and even God is helping the Jing Dynasty.
Eventually, he despaired, and his days in the dungeon became extremely painful and tormenting.
When he was dying, the sharp and evil qi on Solen's body had been completely worn out, and the whole person became nervous and cringe, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear of seeing the sky.
In this way, the hidden dangers reserved by the previous emperor were completely swept away.
And one more thing, the transformation of the scribes.
Qin Gu traveled through many hours of space, and knew that the hardest people were still the scribes.
The point is that these people all have a certain prestige and influence, and they can not only speak but also write, but also spread further afield.
During the first reign of the Jing Dynasty, the emperor tried to win over these scribes, but the results were very unsatisfactory.
After all, at that time, the Jing Dynasty had just unified the world, and you had just taken other people's jobs, and then you wanted people to sing praises to you? Of course, it was impossible.
Therefore, some laws and policies implemented by the Jing Dynasty have encountered great obstacles, and after more than ten years of subtle running-in, the situation is now slightly better.
However, the scribes were still strongly resistant to the Jing Dynasty.
Mastering the text is equivalent to mastering the public opinion guidance of this time and space, they can spit lotus flowers in their mouths, they can also spit poisonous fog in their mouths, they can write you as an emperor through the ages, and they can also write you about cruelty and absurdity.
