Chapter 115 Homework
"Your Majesty, keep people under the knife." Outside the market entrance, a big man came running on a horse. On his victory hook was hung with a huge mace, with several heads adorned around his waist, and the blood on it had already solidified red.
The executioner's big sword was already raised hanging in the air, and they didn't want to kill their soldiers.
Su Jiao hurriedly ran over, rolled down and fell down, kneeled on the ground and shouted: "Emperor, these brothers are all following me to attack Gaoyang City. They are heroes. Please spare them. I promise that they will not dare to commit again."
Hu Hai looked at Su Jiao and felt helpless about this brave and unscrupulous man.
Seeing that the second emperor did not speak, Su Jiao stretched out his hand and pulled off the string of heads from his waist and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the enemy general I killed in this battle. One is Ge Ying's head, and the other are officials above the Zhang Chu Army's lieutenant. I don't want this meritorious me. As long as the emperor spares these criminal soldiers, I will have an explanation with other subordinates."
"Pa" Hu Hai slapped the table and stood up. The more he kept silent, the more Su Jiao begged for mercy.
"You want to give your subordinates an explanation, but I want to give an explanation to the people who were harassed and persecuted by Gaoyang. The prince even violated the law and was the same as the common people. Although they were the heroes who initially attacked Gaoyang's city, they committed great crimes. You ask me to spare them. Do you ask the people of Gaoyang to allow them?" Hu Hai said sternly.
Su Jiao was stunned, knowing that Long Yan had touched him, so he knelt there for a long time and refused to get up.
Hu Hai looked at him coldly and whispered: "I allow you to pour a bowl of wine for them." This is also a step for Su Jiao, so that he can't get rid of the tiger.
Su Jiao kowtowed and thanked him, picked up the wine jar and filled them with wine one by one.
After Su Jiao finished drinking with them, Hu Hai waved his hand. Thirty-five swords and axes, his hands were raised and his blood was sprayed at the Gaoyang Market. Thirty-five big heads were cut off.
While blood was splattering, the people of Gaoyang were shocked. Never had an army punished soldiers who harassed the people like this.
"Long live the emperor."
"Long live the Great Qin."
For a moment, the people shouted loudly, and it was just a matter of everything.
After Gao Yang's people finished calling and gradually became quiet, Hu Hai immediately asked Chen Bing to announce the new policy of the Qin Dynasty again, reducing taxes and canceling labor.
These people had known about the new Qin policy for a long time, but they were reluctant to believe it. Now, seeing the emperor's orders and ban, they all felt that they saw hope when they said that. They also believed in the new Qin policy that they just knew.
As the people shouted long live, Hu Hai's frame returned to the Gaoyang County Governor's Mansion.
After this incident, the Qin soldiers re-examined themselves from top to bottom. Originally, they thought that after the city was broken, they would kill more or less a few irrelevant people, and it would be no big deal to accumulate heads for military achievements. But this time, thirty-five people were bleeding from the market, and the heads rolled bloodily into the dust. They did not dare to treat harassing the people as a joke.
Although the emperor issued a grand burial to the thirty-five people, no matter how rich the burial was, he would die. Everyone understands the principle that it is better to live than to die. From this time on, the military discipline of the Qin army gradually became purged.
Hu Hai was not proud of winning the hearts of the people in one city and one place. When he returned to the Gaoyang County Magistrate's Mansion, he did not rest. He immediately summoned several personal guards including Chen Bing, and at the same time summoned Su Jiao, Zhao Ben, Yang Xiong and other generals in the army.
Although this attack on Gao Yang was successful, the losses were too great. Killing one thousand enemies hurts 800 by yourself. This kind of thing is similar to losing money. Hu Hai, who was born in modern people, was the least willing to do such a thankless thing.
Such a head-on battle is not in line with the battle in Hu Hai's mind. He wants to hold a summary meeting.
Soon, everyone came to the county magistrate's mansion where Hu Hai was.
Hu Hai only said one sentence, reflecting on the entire battle against Gaoyang City, and seeing if there is anything that can be improved. Now I think about it, everyone has to think about it and express their opinions.
This was the prototype of brainstorming in later management science, and has now been applied to these Qin generals by Hu Hai.
Everyone was stunned. The battle to attack Gao Yang was already very good in their eyes, but the emperor insisted on picking the bones. Several people looked at each other and frowned. There was no better way in their impression.
During the entire siege battle, at the beginning, there was no suppression of bows and arrows, and the infantry began to charge and lost many soldiers. Later, the Qin army archers came up to suppress the battle, and infantry sieges and cavalry hit the gates were impeccable. Even famous generals in the world might command this battle, but this was probably the case.
After thinking for a long time, everyone shook their heads to each other.
Hu Hai looked at them and said calmly: "There are no need to be restrained, you can discuss with each other."
At the beginning, the few people were embarrassed to talk, but they just muttered in a low voice. Soon, these people who had been through the battle for a long time began to discuss, but they all said that the battle was very successful and Gaoyang City was broken in one fell swoop, and there seemed to be no omissions.
Zhao Ben and Yang Xiong were always worried about the unfavorable supervision of the soldiers, causing the Qin army to hurt the people. During this period, they even conducted self-examination, but the second emperor no longer talked about their faults, but only summed up the war.
This made these people stump for a moment. Su Jiao even spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, summing up this matter is done by Wenwen and Wenchen. The men who led the troops only know how to kill the enemy and fight. I really can't do this."
Zhao Ben and others immediately agreed.
Li Heng, who was good at using hidden weapons, was silent for a while and said that he would shoot all the defenders on the city to death. All the generals were funny, but they couldn't smile in front of Hu Hai, so he had to endure it.
Only Ren Xiao, who was silent, twitched from the corner of his mouth, as if he had thought of something but didn't say it.
Hu Hai noticed Ren Xiao's performance and smiled and said, "Ren Xiao, tell me."
Everyone was silent immediately and looked at Ren Xiao.
Ren Xiao pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "I have watched the emperor practice guns. He is not fancy and kills the enemy directly. I want the two armies to face each other, just like two people. If one attacks, the loss will be very small."
"Yes, keep talking." Hu Hai's eyes emitted light. Ren Xiao has led his troops to fight recently and has made a lot of promise, but he has some insights.
Ren Xiao is a young man with a cold appearance but shy heart. With the encouragement of the emperor, his face turned slightly red and he said in a deep voice: "If the two armies are fighting, if we can hit the enemy's generals at once, it will inevitably cause the enemy to be dispersed and it will not be a problem to defeat them. This may be a small loss."
Su Jiao and several generals who had been leading troops for many years immediately tilted their lips, and Zhao Ben even said directly: "It's light, the enemy generals are hiding in the army, how can they attack directly?"
"That's right, you don't think they will play one-on-one, do you?" Yang Xiong muttered.
Su Jiao didn't say anything at all. In his opinion, Ren Xiao was just a master of martial arts and did not understand the military formation at all.
Ren Xiao stuck out his tongue and chose to shut up. Among these veteran Qin generals, he wisely chose to shut up. All of this was decided by the emperor Hu Hai, so Ren Xiao did not want to argue with them.
"Ren Xiao is right. I will leave you homework. Go back and think about what Ren Xiao said, how can he kill the generals of the enemy with one blow."
"This emperor often says new words, 'home' haha, I don't know what he means if he doesn't explain it." After walking out of Gaoyang Mansion, Su Jiao smiled and said to everyone.
