The moment Augustus surrendered, the barbarian kingdom was doomed.
However, there is always a small group of people who cannot see the general trend of the development of the times and must go against the course of history.
They resisted danger and defended against Da Qin.
These people knew that Augustus had been captured, but they still used Augustus to inspire the entire army.
"Sirs, the Qin people have captured Augustus. This is a shame for Augustus, a shame for my country of the gods, and a shame for us brave soldiers."
"We must not surrender. We must defeat the Qin people and bring Augustus back."
These people incited their soldiers and had the idea of defeating the soldiers and winning.
They concealed the news that Augustus surrendered on his own initiative, saying only that the Qin people had used a trick to capture him.
In fact, their incitement was also effective. These soldiers were shouting that they must fight to the death with the Qin people.
In this case, it would take more energy to attack these cities. It is even possible to lose a lot of people.
Fortunately, the newspapers from Xianyang arrived.
Now people in Qin have a habit of reading newspapers. Even if they are thousands of miles away, they have to transport newspapers here.
Transporting newspapers is not difficult. After all, the railways have been laid intermittently, and many places are already open to traffic.
Therefore, the newspapers seen by frontline soldiers were only about ten days later than those in Xianyang.
When the soldiers saw the newspaper, they burst into laughter.
They saw a photo taken by a photographer.
In one of the stands, the audience was cheering, throwing pastries and coins.
In the middle, Augustus was smiling obsequiously, bowing to the people around him.
There is some text next to it.
The soldiers now roughly understand some words, and even if they don't understand something, they can even guess it.
After reading the instructions next to them, these soldiers laughed even more.
Unexpectedly, the arrogant Augustus could be so humble and embarrassed.
The generals among the Qin people obviously also saw these newspapers.
The soldiers were just watching the excitement, but the generals knew that this was a good opportunity.
Perhaps we can use these newspapers to build those strong cities.
So they tied newspapers to arrows and shot them into the city wall.
…………
That night, the soldiers in the city picked up the newspaper.
They didn't know the Qin characters on it, but they could at least understand the pictures.
They looked at Augustus with a flattering face, and their hearts were as sharp as a knife.
The soldiers said sadly: "Augustus, was he captured by the Qin people and taken to the Colosseum?"
I have to say that the combination of the high stands and the low stage does look a bit like a Colosseum.
However, there are also people who understand among the soldiers.
They said: "This is not like the Colosseum. Look, Augustus has a satisfied smile on his face and seems to be very happy."
The soldiers were a little confused.
In their imagination, Augustus should be unyielding after being captured. Even after being tortured, he still looked like a hero.
Moreover, sooner or later, this hero will come back and lead them to a beautiful turnaround.
Why today...why does Augustus look so happy today, not like a loyal and unyielding hero at all?
Someone scanned the newspaper and quickly saw Augustus' letter.
This letter was written by Augustus to Ying Zheng. The newspaper published both the original letter written by Augustus and a translated version.
The original is to prove that the letter actually exists. The translated version is for Qin people to understand.
Unexpectedly, in a barbarian country, the original document was actually printed crookedly, allowing these barbarian soldiers to understand it.
They read the letter word for word.
Augustus in the letter was full of groveling. He kept admitting his mistakes to Ying Zheng, saying that he really should not have provoked Da Qin in the first place, which made Tianwei furious. Now I really regret it.
Fortunately, he found his way back and surrendered in time, so that he did not go further down the wrong road.
Augustus said that he saw the enthusiasm and magnanimity of the Qin people. Such a comparison made him despise his own little calculations and thoughts even more.
Compared with the great emperor, he, the barbarian king, was simply a clown.
Augustus finally vowed that he would be loyal to the emperor of Qin throughout his life and would never have any thoughts of rebellion.
When the soldiers saw this letter, they were all confused.
Now they only have one thought: Is this... real?
Many people already believe deep down that this is true.
After all, everyone saw Augustus's flattering look.
And these soldiers also know that photos cannot be faked.
So...did Augustus surrender on his own initiative? Did it turn out that Augustus had surrendered and became a well-fed prisoner in Xianyang City?
But he wants us to work hard here?
What's the point?
Why?
As a result, the soldiers of the barbarian country gradually had other ideas.
Fortunately, these newspapers were read by the generals in time.
The generals immediately announced that the newspaper was a forgery.
The person in the photo is not Augustus. The Qin people found someone who looked very similar to Augustus and deliberately took such a photo.
And that letter was not in Augustus's handwriting.
After this rumor-refuting statement came out, many people changed from believing it to being doubtful.
The situation of the soldiers was temporarily stable, but the generals themselves were full of doubts.
The person in the photo is clearly Augustus.
That letter was also written by Augustus.
This is absolutely true.
So, Augustus really lived a good life in the barbarian country? So who are we working for?
Do you still have to work hard to guard this country of the gods? Does the Kingdom of the Gods still exist?
This doubt lasted for ten days. Finally, a series of reactions were triggered.
First, the largest city declared itself king and no longer obeyed the orders of the non-existent barbarian country.
Then, like dominoes falling to the ground, more and more cities declared themselves kings.
For a time, the barbarian country was filled with kings everywhere.
The Qin generals watched all this silently and did not interfere.
When the trend of claiming kingship passed, they began to attack the barbarian country.
This time, many cities were captured with overwhelming force.
Before becoming king, these cities supported each other.
After becoming king, they became independent individuals. Although they also worked hard to establish some alliances, they had their own little thoughts after all.
Some kings even thought of taking advantage of the chaos to annex other people's cities.
In this way, the Qin people were given every opportunity to defeat them.
…………
"Good news, good news, our Great Qin is unstoppable in the barbarian country, and today we conquer ten cities again." The boy selling the newspaper shouted loudly.
Feng Quili looked at the newspaper and sighed: "What is all this? There is no useful news at all."
Feng Jia laughed dryly and said with a guilty conscience: "Master, what news do you want to see?"
Feng Quili said: "Of course it's the news from the accountants. I spent my money and efforts to collect a large number of accountants from all over the world. By this time, I should have arrived in Xianyang City."
Feng Jia laughed dryly and said, "Master, are these accountants...necessary to look for them in such a hurry?"
Feng Quili said: "We must be anxious. How can we not be anxious? What if the accountant arrives late and Shangjun Courtyard transfers the property?"
"We must get hold of the evidence of their bribery. And it must be done quickly, otherwise things will change if it's too late."
Feng Jia laughed dryly and said, "Yes, what the master said makes sense..."
He sighed slightly in his heart and thought: What is this? It seems that the transfer of property must be done as soon as possible.
Feng Quli has been writing memorials secretly these days while waiting for news from the accountant.
In his memorial, he severely criticized the behavior of bribing witnesses. Of course, he did not specify that it was Shang Junbiyuan who bribed Wang Wu.
In fact, this is Feng Quli's strategy, which comes from his many years of experience in officialdom.
Some words cannot be said clearly. Just click as far as possible. Clicking as far as possible will show that the person is not so vicious and give others room to fully imagine.
With this space, public opinion can ferment and many things can happen.
Feng Quili was a little proud. He began to think about it. When there was a problem with the accounts of the Dang Neng Shangjun Courtyard, he would send these memorials. When the time came...
Feng Quili couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Of course, nothing has happened yet at Shangjun Courtyard, these are just speculations.
However, in Feng Quli's view, these are all well-founded speculations, and given time, his speculations will definitely become a reality.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. These accountants are too slow to check the accounts.
Feng Quili sighed and walked out of the room.
At this time, a large group of accountants were packing their bags.
These accountants were originally checking accounts at Feng Quili's home. Now their tasks have been completed and they are ready to leave.
They didn't find any problem. After all, when Feng Jia bribed Wang Wu, he used the loan from Shangjun Courtyard and never paid the money.
Feng Quili said proudly: "How is it?"
The accountants said: "Your Excellency is innocent, we found nothing."
Feng Quili said again: "Have you really found out? Am I really innocent?"
The accountants said: "It is absolutely innocent. I will know it for sure. I will report it to His Majesty when I get back."
Feng Quili nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead."
The accountants responded, turned around and left.
Feng Quili stopped them again, gave them a piece of gold, and said: "Nowadays, accountants are short of manpower. After you go back, you can't be lazy. You should go to Shangjun Courtyard and try it out in time."
These accountants were stunned for a moment, and then said one after another: "We are planning to go to Shangjun Courtyard, and we dare not accept your reward."
Feng Quili said: "One of these rewards is given to you to commend you for your hard work over the past few days. The other is to hope that you will work harder at Shangjun Courtyard and restore Shangjun Courtyard's innocence as soon as possible."
The accountants responded and left happily with the gold.
Feng Quli looked at his home, and suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
He nodded with satisfaction, then dipped in thick ink and started writing quickly on the paper.
Feng Quli wrote a poem. This fu is called the fu of innocence.
In this poem, Feng Quli used very gorgeous words to roughly describe what happened, and then expressed his joy of being innocent and having the injustice redressed.
After finishing writing this poem, Feng Quili nodded happily: "Okay, okay. People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and this poem is also very well written."
After finishing writing, Feng Quili called Feng Jia in, who had been wandering in the yard, and said with a smile: "How do you think I wrote this poem?"
Feng Jia is just literary. He can read account books and newspapers, which is fine, but it is a bit difficult to read something that is too literary.
Moreover, Feng Jia is so confused right now, how can he have time to appreciate any gifts?
However, Feng Jia read the entire article and then began to praise it in a cadence.
Regardless of whether he understands it or not, whether he really feels good about it or not, Feng Jia has developed the ability to flatter someone without leaving any trace.
The key is that Feng Quli really believed it.
He nodded and said to Feng Jia: "Take this poem out and give it to... Let me think about it, which one is better, Xianyang Daily or General Tabloid?"
Feng Jia said doubtfully: "Why should the master's article be published in a newspaper that denounces immortals? I heard that Xianyang Daily was founded by Shangjun Courtyard, and Jiangjun Tabloid was founded by Li Xin."
"We might as well put it in the Confucian newspaper. The Confucian newspaper is the Confucian scholar's own newspaper. Although no one knows who the boss is behind it, but reading this newspaper is devoted to Confucian scholars and dares to argue with Li Xin and the banished immortals. It can be regarded as a great family. A newspaper with a backbone.”
"There have been rumors that the Confucian newspaper was secretly founded by Dr. Chun Yuyue. Wouldn't it be great if we submitted our articles to the Confucian newspaper?"
Feng Quili smiled and shook his head: "You don't understand. Although my innocence gift only means that I am innocent, my subtext is that Shangjun Courtyard is not innocent."
"I just want to publish it in Xianyang Daily or Jiangjun tabloid and slap them in the face."
Feng Jia laughed dryly and said feebly: "Master, we...do we need to be so high-profile?"
Feng Quili said: "It is necessary, of course it is necessary. Whenever someone offends the Banished Immortal, the Banished Immortal will always pursue him and bite him hard, and he must force the person to have his family broken up and his family to die. Today, I am exactly Give them a taste of it by treating them with their own medicine."
Feng Jia laughed dryly and said: "But whenever someone wants to fight to the death with the Exalted Immortal, they will often be ruined. Master, I think we should be more cautious."
Feng Quili thought for a while, then waved his hand and said with great confidence: "No need. Those people were not fully prepared, but I am different. I want to use this time to make a turnaround and put the previous rumors to rest. Break them all. I have an arrow on the string and I have to shoot."
