The sky was filled with light, and when dawn rose, the mountains and rivers were filled with white mist.
As the red sun rises, a ray of sunshine shines on the new city.
On top of the new city.
When the Qin army attacked Xincheng in the past, the traces of arrows left behind are still clearly visible.
Bai Yan stood in the city road, wearing Qin armor, holding Qin sword with both hands, looking at the figure gradually leaving in the distance.
This was the first time he saw his relatives after leaving Qi State.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a descendant of the Bai family, but in fact, he has always been a lonely person.
In the state of Qin.
He has no relatives.
"Uncle."
Bai Yan looked at the retreating figure and murmured, with a hint of reluctance and loneliness in his words.
My uncle, whom I had not seen for many years, did not expect to meet him under such circumstances.
We have just met, and we are about to say goodbye again.
We talked until midnight last night. At the insistence of his younger uncle, in order to prevent the news from leaking and to avoid possible accidents, he personally sent his younger uncle back to the cabin.
In the words of my uncle, if you live in the mansion, you must kill the shopkeeper of Xiaoshe. Otherwise, sooner or later, the shopkeeper of Xiaoshe will mention this matter. Who can guarantee that it will not be heard by Chu merchants.
After all, Qin had just captured the new city, and the people in the new city were very sensitive to every move of the Qin army.
As long as he returned to the hut and let the shopkeeper know that Qin Zu had arrested the wrong person and finally released him, the shopkeeper would definitely not take it to heart.
"Farewell in a hurry, see you again someday!"
Bai Yan said softly.
Seeing his uncle stop far outside the city and looking back towards the city wall, Bai Yan knew clearly that his uncle knew he was on top of the city.
After a long time.
Bai Yan watched the figure disappear into the distance.
At this time, a Qin soldier came over slowly.
"Doctor, General Teng has ordered you to go to the mansion."
Qin Zu came to Bai Yan's side, cupped his hands and said.
Bai Yan nodded.
He took one last look at the direction his uncle was leaving, then turned and walked towards the bottom of the tower.
In the new city.
The people have gradually adapted to the Qin army stationed in the new city, and are now walking on the streets one after another.
On the street, there is an endless stream of men, women and children, making it a lively scene.
On every street, there were several Qin officials standing in front of the notices, and some common people were bold enough to ask questions.
After all, not everyone is literate these days.
Most of these people are villagers from small villages near the new city. Now that the new city has been conquered by the Qin army and became a city of the Qin State, their people will naturally abide by the laws of the Qin State.
They didn't understand Qin's laws, but they had all heard that Qin's laws were harsh.
Rather than accidentally violating Qin's laws later, it is better to ask clearly now and know what can be done and what cannot be done.
Some people saw a Qin soldier riding a war horse slowly in the distance and quickly got out of the way.
on the street.
Bai Yan rode his horse and looked at the people on the street.
According to rumors, after Qin's political reform, people fled Qin one after another.
But let alone the people of Qin State, looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Yan could understand that the so-called 'common people' actually refers to the nobles.
After the New City was captured, the nobles who were previously in the New City had fled the New City one after another.
Jin Gong once said that at the beginning of Qin's reform, people from various countries rushed to Qin to get farmland.
It is not difficult to know from this sentence that for the nobles, Qin's laws and regulations harmed their own interests, and there would be no way to survive if they did not follow them, but for the common people, it was just the opposite.
This is why the Qin State has more soldiers and more soldiers. It has transformed from a small country living alone into a powerful country after the reform.
If the people of Qin State fled from Qin State, and the people of other countries fled the cities captured by Qin people, Qin State would have destroyed itself in the battles.
What's more, after Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang, King Qin Huiwen was the first person to realize the shortcomings of Shang Yang's reforms.
Compared to Shang Yang, King Qin Huiwen paid more attention to practicality and understood that Qin could not only be engaged in farming and warfare, but also had other industries.
Therefore, King Qin Huiwen, in addition to retaining the core system of meritorious status and rank, made drastic changes to other laws and regulations.
Since ancient times, after the death of a king of any country, his posthumous title mostly depends on the king's behavior throughout his life. For example, Emperor Xin's posthumous title is Zhou, so he is called King Zhou.
From King Qin Huiwen's "Hui", we can see that Qin Huiwen also won the hearts of the people in revising Qin laws.
After King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu of Qin died holding the tripod. As soon as King Wu of Qin died, the state of Qin was controlled by his relatives, the Chu clan, and the laws of Qin ushered in the second revision!
The third revision was made when Lu Buwei was still the Prime Minister of Qin.
While Lu Buwei saw that Qin was strong, he also saw its problems.
Compared with the previous Qin kings, Lu Buwei, who saw the problem of Qin's laws, did not support the forced destruction of the six countries, and was more inclined to Qin's unification of the world, so he should plan for it slowly.
Lu Buwei also began to modify the Qin laws. The most representative one was that he believed that the Qin army's beheading system was too bloody, so he canceled the beheading system.
Although after Lu Buwei's death, the Qin army resumed the beheading system.
However, some other modifications of the laws have been preserved.
Therefore, the current Qin laws, after being revised from generation to generation, have become acceptable to the people, far less than what was rumored.
"doctor!"
When Bai Yan returned to the mansion, Ye had been waiting at the gate for a long time.
Bai Yan nodded, handed the war horse to Ye, and then quickly entered the mansion.
When they arrived at the study, General Teng, General Hu Jin and others were discussing the march layout on the map.
"General!"
Bai Yan came to the map and saluted General Teng.
"No need to be polite."
General Teng saw Bai Yan and nodded.
"I thought about it day and night yesterday, and I became more and more convinced that the Korean army would build a barrier on the south bank of the Mishui River."
General Teng looked at Bai Yan, then looked at the map and said.
It turned out that after hearing Bai Yan's words yesterday and looking at the map, he felt more and more that the reason why the King of Han did not surrender was probably because he was confident of resisting the Qin army.
Thinking of Bai Yan's words, he felt that maybe as Bai Yan thought, the Korean army would build a barrier on the south bank of the Mishui River.
He was worried about Chu Ren and Wei Wan.
Therefore, it was decided that after the cavalry army arrived in the new city today, he would personally rush to the south bank of the Mishui River with the cavalry army.
In the study room.
When the other generals heard General Teng's words, they couldn't help but sigh when they looked at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan is still so young, but his abilities and knowledge are far beyond those of his age.
Even Hu Jin was looking at Bai Yan at this moment, thinking in his heart whether Bai Yu would be dumbfounded if he knew about this.
Hu Jin had always known that Bai Yu didn't seem to know his nephew Bai Yan very well.
At first it was Bai Yan's swordsmanship, but later when Bai Yu was poisoned, he asked Sima Xing to help Bai Yan.
It can be seen from this that Bai Yu does not seem to know the abilities of his nephew Bai Yan.
"promise!"
In the study room, after hearing General Teng's words, Bai Yan raised his hands in response.
Bai Yan didn't know much about the capabilities of General Chu Ren and General Kuiwan. His military strength was not as good as South Korea's, but now that General Teng was the commander-in-chief, he was willing to go there in person, which naturally made him feel more at ease.
In the study room.
After General Teng decided to go to the south bank of Jishui River, he began to deploy grain and grass, as well as the issues of approaching vehicles, ladders, and follow-up troops.
Shen Shi.
Accompanied by the deafening roar of cavalry from the west gate of the new city.
More than 8,000 Qin cavalrymen, holding black cavalry with the word Qin in their hands, entered the city from the west gate.
Whether it was the Qin officials at the city gate or the people in the city, they all stepped aside when they saw a famous cavalry soldier wearing Qin armor and holding a long sword and Qin sword.
