Text Chapter 2 Recruitment

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the official road, there are teams escorting prisoners everywhere. Zheng Fan is riding a horse, and Siniang and A Ming are beside him.

    The Marquis of Jingnan really regarded Zheng Fan as his own, and even his family's funeral affairs were left to Zheng Fan to handle. It took Zheng Fan a lot of time to finish these things.

    Si Niang and A Ming accompanied Zheng Fan to Beijing this time, but because Zheng Fan was riding in Jingnanhou's carriage when they set off, the two of them followed from a distance.

    After Zheng Fan experienced the extremely exciting Yanjing Twelve Hours,

    Ah Ming and Siniang were recruited by Zheng Fan to go to the farm to help collect the corpse.

    Although I didn't personally participate in the purge of the clans, but seeing that it took only ten days and a half months, I can probably see clearly the scale of this purge from the team of prisoners on the official road.  up.

    Those who were escorted were basically young and middle-aged men. Even if they were a little older, it would be no problem to send them to the front line to be civilian husbands.

    Emperor Yan wanted to clean up the Dayan clan, but he didn't slaughter them all. Of course, the top clans must be resolutely wiped out physically, but there are so many families of the Dayan clan, and they were forcibly labeled as "criminals"  Under the will of the Emperor Yan, the prisoners will march towards Yinlang County in the south.

    There,

    It will be the front line of Yan State's attack,

    And war will indeed consume a lot of materials, money and food,

    But the most direct consumable in war is human life!

    Zheng Fan didn't know whether it was the same scene when Qin Shihuang conscripted prisoners and civilian husbands, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he was still shocked by the scenes on the official road.

    The army upholds the will of the monarch and begins to wield the blade,

    The entire country of Yan began to carry out the most brutal and direct war mobilization under the order of Emperor Yan.

    The huge land owned by the clans was naturally confiscated. The huge hidden households that originally belonged to the clans and not the country were counted and recorded by the court. Most of them will continue to cultivate the original land.  A clan becomes a country.

    In ancient times, the centralization process of the central government was originally a seesaw in which the central and local governments competed for "land" and "population".

    In the historical process that Zheng Fan is familiar with, it seems that every ancient dynasty that has created brilliance has centralized power before creating brilliance, so that they can concentrate their power to do big things.

    It's just that Zheng Fan could clearly feel the hostility of these prisoners when he passed by the team of prisoners.

    The originally high-ranking scion of a powerful family has become a prisoner at this time.

    In Dayan's hundreds of years of political system, the Ji family and the aristocratic family have always ruled the world. The children of these aristocratic families, strictly speaking, are also the masters of the country of Dayan.

    In fact, the balance between imperial power and aristocratic families has never been broken.

    The imperial power was further atrophied because the first emperor succeeded to the throne with the support of the Zhenbeihoufu, and the extravagance enjoyed by the first emperor during his reign.  The aristocratic families have never let down their guard against the expansion of imperial power.

    But no amount of precaution, no amount of scheming, can't match two words: naivety.

    Yan Huang naively believed that he and Fa Xiao, who robbed chicken legs when he was young, would not rebel when he was sitting on a heavy army, and accepted everything from Zhenbeihou;

    Zhenbei Hou innocently believed that Emperor Yan was not a temptation to him, so he handed over the 300,000 Zhenbei army to his majesty, and he himself was a plowman himself, willing to bear the infamous general Dayan who had existed in the land of Dayan for hundreds of years.  The gatekeepers plowed again.

    Jingnan Hou innocently joined the battle between Zhenbeihou and Yanhuang, and he did not hesitate to slaughter his own family first to show his break with the past.

    The suspicion of the emperor and the boundary between the monarch and his ministers did not seem to be reflected in the three of them. The three naive guys worked together abruptly to turn this big swallow upside down.

    There are three heroes in one generation, and these three heroes are still standing together.

    When the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army rolled in behind Yanhuang that day,

    All the officials and the powerful people "clicked" at the same time,

    they understand,

    Dayan's day,

    changed!

    It was as if overnight, their wealth, their status, and their dignity that belonged to them were completely deprived. They were sent to the front line of southern Xinjiang by Emperor Yan, and they wanted to take up arms and atone for the "sins" they had suddenly added to themselves.  , Fighting for the "freedom" that I originally had but lost overnight.

    They, in Zheng Fan's view, looked like the gang of barbarians under him. The barbarians under Zheng Fan were from the prisoner tribe. Their relativesWhen the time is uncertain, you have to go into battle!  "

    "" Zheng Fan.

    The image of Xu Pangpang charging on a horse appeared in Zheng Fan's mind.

    Then a group of people hid behind Xu Wenzu to avoid arrows when charging

    Or, during the defense of the city, Xu Wenzu was directly used as a sandbag and thrown behind the city gate to resist the enemy's charge

    Of course, these situations will basically not happen. If Dayan's army really reaches the point where even Xu Pangpang has to charge, then the country will not be far away from subjugation.

    Xu Wenzu will definitely be there when he goes to the battlefield. He is the commander-in-chief, so it is impossible not to lead the army, but what he is doing now is to build his own lineage based on his relationship with Zheng Fan.

    If Xu Wenzu didn't know that Shatuo Queshi, who smashed his carriage at the beginning, was lying in Cuiliu Fort now, it is estimated that

    "Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your lord's high expectations!"

    Zheng Fan really doesn't mind saluting loudly and sincerely when someone gives you such a big face and such a big benefit

    After leaving the General Military Mansion, under the leadership of a trusted school lieutenant sent by Xu Wenzu, Zheng Fan came to a school ground in the city.

    In the school grounds, there were crowds of people, and there were many prisoners in custody. Some prisoners were put on shackles, but most of them were not restricted, but were confined to various areas.

    Outside the school grounds, soldiers with bows and crossbows were in charge of guarding.

    Inside, there are many military leaders and clerks shuttling back and forth inside.

    A Ming, who was following behind Zheng Fan, whispered to Zheng Fan:

    "It looks like a livestock market."

    "Yes." Zheng Fan nodded in agreement.

    "My lord, if this battle doesn't go well, there will be big problems for the Yan Kingdom."

    "Um."

    Zheng Fan also felt it. If he had expressed admiration for the grandeur of Emperor Yan and the two Marquises before, now he truly felt the signs of a volcanic eruption hidden under this grandeur.

    Possibly, there was only one Zheng Fan in the Yan Kingdom before, but now, Emperor Yan has created countless Zheng Fans by himself.

    If there is a problem in the confrontational war, and at the same time, one of the Yanhuang three people has an accident, then this group of people with revenge and anger in their hearts

    You must know that in this world, most of the elites carry the label of aristocrats.

    If one fails, it will be a new round of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

    "Master Zheng, the Huo family is here."

    The captain appointed by Xu Wenzu led Zheng Fan to a fence.

    Behind the fence, a group of people are sitting, and you can clearly see the order that comes with them.

    At this time, a person in the crowd stood up and walked over. His eyes fell on the captain, and finally, on Zheng Fan.

    Shouted in a very unruly tone:

    "Hehe, which adult wants to buy us back!"

    "Presumptuous!"

    The captain immediately scolded.

    Zheng Fan didn't care about being angry because of the other party's unruly attitude. First of all, he believed that no matter how much a group of unruly people huddled together, after going back to Liang Cheng and Blind Bei for reform, there shouldn't be a big problem.

    Second, Zheng Fan's attention was attracted by the fence next door at this time, just like when he was the first to notice him at the funeral of the former general Xiao Haihai.

    The other party leaned there, as if in a daze.

    Zheng Fan didn't pay attention to Huo's prickly head, but walked to the side of the fence, reached out and knocked,

    "Brother Zuo?"

    After hearing this call, the man trembled first, then turned his head to look at Zheng Fan.

    His hands immediately grabbed the fence excitedly,

    Shouted to Zheng Fan:

    "Brother Zheng, no no no, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, please do me a favor, please accept me, accept me! ?
