Chapter 36: Zhe Yin Ye
In mid-April, Wei Xinling Jun Wuji joined forces with the troops of the five countries to ambush the Qin army. The Qin army was defeated and fled.
During this process, Meng Ao once again saw the ability of an elite soldier like the peasant association.
——The people from the Farmers Association have the fastest speed among the Qin army.
They were faster than ordinary Qin troops and even more than a bunch of loose sand. Their only advantage was that the large population of the Five-Nation Alliance was much faster.
So even during the escape, they could use some small means from time to time to cause some minor trouble to the five-nation coalition forces.
However, the general situation was decided. Even if Wang Jian and his 1,000 men caused many minor troubles to the five-nation coalition forces, the Qin army could not turn defeat into victory.
"If there are five thousand soldiers from the Farmers' Association, I will be able to be a surprise soldier, conceal the ambush, and the righteous will be together to defeat this abominable Wei Wuji child in one fell swoop!" Meng Ao was unwilling and angry.
Although the troops were smooth sailing ahead this time, Meng Ao himself knew that the dispatch was too hasty, and the two groups of soldiers were not enough for 50,000. The renewal of weapons and equipment has not been completely completed. Some soldiers used old-style Gortons, and some soldiers used new-style Gortons. The tactical strength and combat intensity they could bear were different. It would be a matter of time before failure.
However, it is really bad to feel like being chased by some defeated men like this.
"But not enough!" Wang Yan sighed: "Time is not on our side."
"This great defeat has caused nearly 3,000 soldiers to be injured. The king must be furious." Meng Ao sighed: "It's a pity that my life's reputation has made Wei Wuji in vain!"
"It's common for victory or defeat to military affairs." Wang Yan sighed.
...
In May, the weather is getting hot.
People in Xianyang can feel the mood that is more anxious and hotter than the weather.
After spring, there was no drop of rain.
The wheat melons are almost killed in the fields.
The husband of the farmers' association and the old men ordered large iron water tanks, and used the wheelbarrows made when selling ice water in the past, filled with river water, and began to water the fields.
They have many people and great strength. They have concentrated everyone's strength, and they have cooperated with each other and poured the ground into water.
Although the effect is not as good as natural rainfall, at least, it can alleviate some problems caused by drought.
As for the farmers' association...
Retail investors do not have the ability to do all this independently.
So they watched in despair as the crops in their fields slowly dried up.
It was at this time that the prince's command issued an order.
This order was sent to the peasant congregation.
"The prince's decree said: All the people in the world are the people of the Qin king, and the land in the world is all served by the Qin people. There are changes in the time of the year, and rain and drought are easy to make abundant waters, but Qin has no two politics and changes in the two kings."
"It is the Qin people who need to be buried in Qin, and Qin people who need to be supported."
"On the day when the order was reached, I ordered the farmers' association to help small farmers around Xianyang carry water to irrigate the farmland to raise their fields and fertilize their crops."
At that time, the husbands of the Farmers' Association followed the order and used ten people per team to roughly count the retail investors in Xianyang City, and then gave priority to families with war soldiers to help water the fields.
During this process, the farmers in Xianyang and even some slaves began to have a deeper understanding of the small organization "Farmers Association".
"It is worthy of being the thing founded by Prince Zheng!" People gradually praised Ying Zheng, the prince who had served as the proton and grew up in a foreign country.
...
In May, Qin had not attended a court meeting for three consecutive months.
The Qin King Yi Ren was in a terminal illness and could not hide it.
Everyone knows that the Qin King is stranger, and the sun is in decline.
By mid-May, the Qin King Yiren was unconscious every day, and had exceeded the awakened period.
If you can't get water and rice into it, it's completely impossible.
At the end of May, King Yiren of Qin summoned the Marquis of Xiangbang Wenxin, Lu Buwei.
Then, he summoned several brothers of Qin King Yiren, Qin Xi, and Qin Han.
What they communicated is unknown to outsiders.
But Ying Zheng quickly got news.
——The King of Qin Yiren, who wanted to instruct them to help kill someone.
Ju Zizhou.
This person, who was called a great talent by King Qin Yiren.
Now, at the moment of dying, you can see more clearly the strangeness of this person.
It is also more understandable why Ying Zheng dared to fight against the King of Qin during the three and a half years since Yi Ren became the King of Qin.
"Ju Zizhou is an unstable person!" The King of Qin Yiren grew his eyes hard and looked at Qin Jie, Qin Xi, Qin Han and other Qin royal families with certain real power: "He refused to submit to me, but instead went to the bitter and cold land of Ba County. It must not be because he had no means to power or change. On the contrary, he had great ambitions and his influence on the prince's politics was too great!"
"If I die, the prince will succeed to the throne."
"The prince is a talented child. I hope that all my brothers can help you with all their heart. If you wait for a while... cough cough..." Yiren endured the severe pain, and fine beads of sweat emerged from his forehead: "If Qin State can destroy the royal family of the six countries, it must be destroyed in the hands of the prince's government... The problem in the country, although Ju Zizhou gave a way to solve the 'poison in the country'..."
"But, the accumulated problems are difficult to eliminate."
"After all, people like Ju Zizhou who are talented, ambitious, and too dangerous cannot be kept!" Yi Ren's speech was no longer clear.
"I hope that the three Qing families will get rid of this person before returning to Xianyang!"
...
"That's what my father said?" Ying Zheng looked at Qin Xi sitting in the guest seat.
Qin Xi nodded: "That's true."
Ying Zheng smiled: "Is it possible to see clearly when I am so ill that I am so ill that I am not clear?"
Unfortunately it's too late!
Ying Zheng smiled, stood up, walked to Qin Xi, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, uncle, for telling you that it is extremely important to Zheng'er at this time. The safety of the senior brother is involved in the importance of the Qin Dynasty's reform in the future. You must not make any mistakes. I also ask my uncle to persuade the two uncles for the sake of politics and make them give up the assassination."
"Xi dare not refuse to obey what the prince asked!" Qin Xi stood up and bowed slightly to return the salute.
When Qin Xi was sent away, Xiong Dang and Xiong Qi were welcomed.
"But are you ready?" Ying Zheng asked.
Xiong Qi nodded: "Prince just don't worry, leave everything else to me!"
Ying Zheng looked at Xiong Qi deeply without moving.
Leave it to you?
I won’t feel at ease if I leave it to any of you!
He bowed and said, "Then I'll thank you uncle."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." The eunuch next to King Yiren of Qin came: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, summon him!"
Ying Zheng glanced at the eunuch, sneered, touched his arms, and then looked at Xiong Dangxiong Qi.
"Let me lead the way and take me to see my father." Ying Zheng said frankly.
The eunuch looked at Ying Zheng's reaction and laughed out loud.
"Your Highness, please."
