Chapter 247 Yuan Ya scolds the King of Qin to his face
The Qingzhou Campaign lasted for one month and twenty days and came to an end!
All that remained was to fight the landlords, divide the land, maintain local law and order, and capture the remaining prisoners.
It is a miracle that such a large-scale battle in ancient times lasted for one month and twenty days!
Ultimately, it was Li Jize who introduced tactics that didn't belong to this era...
Landing battle!
They cut off the enemy's retreat as soon as they came up, and also because of the unique terrain of the Qingzhou Peninsula, the logistics of the retreat were blocked, and 50,000 people could only wait to die.
Secondly, that is the terrifying quality of the Qin army!
By running with his own legs, he was able to achieve the terrifying result of running 100 miles in one night.
The ancient unit of measurement, huali, was 500 meters, which, converted into kilometers in later times, meant running 50 kilometers in one night.
This was something that was simply unimaginable in the feudal era, and it was something that could be done by a "God of Speed".
Initial strategy, capture the entire Qingzhou, completed!
Qingzhou is a good place, surrounded by the sea on three sides and bordering the mainland on only one side.
As long as Li Jize builds up his offensive on the front line and vigorously develops the navy, threatening the capital, the south and overseas at any time and anywhere, he will be the most handsome guy of this era.
At the same time, three groups of prisoners of war needed him to deal with.
The first batch, of course, was the captured Erqi army!
These people were terrified and surrendered to the Qin army one after another, saying that they were once Qi people and members of the Qi army! They hoped to join the Qin king's army and help fight the barbarians.
This kind of stuff...
When rebels come, surrender to them; when barbarians come, surrender to them; when the Qin army comes, surrender to them.
What's the point of keeping it? It's a waste of food!
Generally speaking, in the feudal era, they were either recruited or killed all!
But Li Jize is different. Li Jize has to undergo "labor reform" and after the internal war is over, he will have to seize overseas land.
At that time...
What we are competing for is population!
Only a country with a huge population base like Da Qi can afford to play a large-scale colonization game, right?
They live! They build roads, farm, and their "reform through labor" years depend on their crimes.
Who were the second batch of prisoners?
Of course, it was the group of "Korean Smita" who were captured at the very beginning.
They surrendered directly on the grounds that they were once a vassal state of Qi. You can't kill us.
This made the Qin soldiers very unhappy. Damn it! What's the difference between you and the Erqi army? You're even more disgusting than them, right?
But surprisingly...
Li Jize, however, ordered his men to treat these people with good food and wine, and not to beat or scold them, or do anything bad to them.
why?
Because after Li Jize fought the Qingzhou Campaign, he started factories that produced a large amount of gunpowder and projectiles, which were used in the war...
The factory can still operate, but the workers need to be paid, and buying raw materials also costs money!
You can "fight to support war" by fighting external wars. Now you have liberated the other half of Qingzhou, and the people under its rule are all citizens of Da Qi. Moreover, you are still counting on their children to join the army and fight for you, Li Jize.
How could he plunder?
What should I do if I have no money?
The barbarians can be plundered to replenish blood. Li Jize can't go around the outside of the pass to plunder the barbarians again, right?
Therefore, the shameless Li Jize set his sights on Goryeo, but what should the people of Goryeo do since they were unfamiliar with the place?
Doesn’t this require a group of guides and a group of lead people?
What about the third batch of captives, Princess Qin and Zhang Xiaolan in prison?
It has been closed for a month. Does it have to continue to be closed?
Li Jize: "..."
Apparently he had forgotten that at the beginning of the war, due to the leak of military intelligence, so many of his men were watching him and pretending to be good!
Even if the other person is his own wife, he will be thrown into jail.
Actually...
Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan are a bit wronged!
How could it be such a coincidence that the Qin army's assembly point is near the post station? How could it be such a coincidence that such a thing happened to be witnessed by outsiders like you?
Is it possible that this was all Li Jize's plan, to let them know on purpose and let them help spread the news?
By then, the barbarians would be in a state of panic, and in order to prevent the Qin army from attacking, they would mobilize a large number of troops to the border, thereby reducing the pressure on the subsequent sea landing.
That is to say...
Princess Qin and Zhang Xiaolan spent more than a month in jail for nothing!
Thinking of this, Li Jize decided to go and take a look to see what was going on between the two of them.
As a result, when Li Jize really arrived at the "female prisoner", he was almost furious at what he saw.
I used to think that it was a bit unfair to let them stay in jail for a month.
But the fact is...
They don't feel wronged at all!
It’s called a prison cell, but what is Wang Yuanya’s identity?
Princess Qin!
A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Even if the queen was banished to the cold palace, would the emperor treat her badly?
Wang Yuanya also took a look and saw that there were only two people in their cell, and no other inmates.
Secondly, although all three meals are vegetarian, they really eat vegetarian food!
It’s not about eating leftovers, that’s specially prepared for them by the chef in the kitchen.
This is the treatment...
Neither of them is going to jail, at most they are going there for further study.
But even so, Wang Yuanya was still complaining and complaining about Li Jize.
"Okay, okay, okay, you're my Li Jize, you're really playing for me!"
At this point, Wang Yuanya yelled at the door of the cell, desperately pulling at it. "Someone, come! Let me out! Let me out! How long are you going to keep me locked up? I want to see Li Jize, I want to see your King of Qin!"
Li Jize: "..."
Zhang Xiaolan looked at Wang Yuanya, who was acting like she was having a seizure, and simply waved her hand. "Alright, Yuanya! Save your energy. Why would he care if you live or die? He might have already taken a concubine by now! Didn't three beautiful girls appear in his Qin Palace last time? Now he's so happy with all the girls around him, why would he care if you live or die!"
It’s so heartbreaking, sister!
Wang Yuanya turned around, looking unwilling. She pressed the issue, "Then what about us...what about us?"
"What? Being a spy is a crime. You'll either be executed in the autumn, or at best, be imprisoned for life."
"what?"
Wang Yuanya completely collapsed when she heard that she might be imprisoned for life and die of old age here.
Once again, she grabbed the door frame of the cell like a mad woman, shaking it violently.
"Li Jize! You bastard, you beast, you son of a bitch! Are you really so heartless that you really want to lock me up until I die? You son of a bitch, get out of here... Ouch!"
Wang Yuanya was cursing when she was startled because Li Jize really appeared at the door like a ghost.
This is a bit fucking embarrassing!
