The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 337

[Chapter 332 The Spring of Yan Kingdom]

In the seventh year of Emperor Yuan, in March.

The three-nation coalition, which was dominated by Yuguo, reached a settlement with Qiguo. After the two sides went on strike, they continued to stay in Qiguo’s newly occupied two counties for a month. After confirming that there were no problems, they disbanded and returned to their own countries.

The 100,000 troops sent by the Imperial Kingdom, after a series of bloody battles, are now only 80,000 people, which can be said to have suffered a lot.

The 20,000 people lost were not the rabble of various countries, but were all elites with internal strength.

If nothing else, these 100,000 people are already the sum total of all the soldiers with internal strength in the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han.

Now that it has lost 20,000 yuan, even for a big country like Zhao Wei, it is still hurting the bones and shaking the country.

Therefore, Zhong Yu is quite distressed for the sacrifice of these 20,000 people.

However, these sacrifices are all valuable. Although 20,000 soldiers were sacrificed, the remaining 80,000 people have experienced the tempering of war and become more and more elite.

Many people have gained a lot of insight between life and death because of killing, and their cultivation will become more and more diligent.

What’s more, although many soldiers were damaged, in the process, Zhong Yu’s tempered 10 million soldiers, but also completed a full 20,000, and the harvest was very good.

In general, in this battle of the Qi Kingdom, all countries suffered losses, and even many people lost their wives and lost their troops. In addition to the Yu Kingdom achieving the purpose of disrupting the Central Plains, it was also the Yan Kingdom, which made a lot of profits. Earn a lot.

However, although the State of Yan gained two counties and nearly a million people.

But this does not mean that his strength has been doubled all of a sudden.

It’s one thing to get these things, but can you use them?

Can it be effectively driven?

That’s another story.

Don’t forget, what the coalition forces did on the land of Qi country before can be said to be anger and resentment, and there is no restraint at all.

How many Qi people died in this war, how many relatives and friends of Qi country, their hometowns and homes were devastated by the war, their hatred with the coalition forces, even if they drain the water of the Yangtze River, it is difficult to wash away.

Therefore, although the Yan Kingdom has gained a lot of territory and a large population, it will take a long time to truly classify him as the national strength of the Yan Kingdom.

This time will be at least forty years, and after two generations of reproduction, he will gradually be forgotten.

In the past 40 years, the State of Yan needs to station heavy troops to prevent chaos in these places, and to exercise benevolent government and invest a lot of resources and material resources to buy the hearts and minds of these Qi people.

For this reason, it can be seen from the fact that although the state of Yan has ended the war, 100,000 troops are still stationed in these two counties. It can be seen that the state of Qi in the south and the remnants of the state of Qi in the two counties are strictly guarded.

However, the rest is to impose benevolent governance and buy people’s hearts.

After all, after fighting for so long, the national treasury of Yan country has long been empty, not even a mouse can be seen, and many people in their own country are starving, and even many died of starvation this winter.

Under such circumstances, how could there be any money to support Qi?

Moreover, with the greed of the monarch of Yan State, the corruption of the court, and the feud between Yan and Qi, Yan State not only did not pay, but intensified the search from the land of these two counties.

In the thinking of the Yan people, Qi is a very rich country, from the princes and nobles to the common people, all of them are very rich.

Compared with Yan Kingdom, a poor country in the northern Xinjiang with barren land, covered with ice and snow all the year round, it is much richer.

Therefore, even though Qi State has experienced the raging war and lost a lot of wealth, there is still a lot of wealth, at least more than the current state of Yan.

Therefore, they formulated a set of strict laws and all-encompassing taxes, taking into account every place where Qi people can pay taxes in all aspects, and then sent a law enforcement team to each Qi. National families are forced to pay taxes.

Not to mention, the Yan people did this, but within a month or two, they found a huge amount of money.

This result made the Yan Kingdom extremely excited, and they had a new understanding of the wealth of the Qi Kingdom. They couldn’t help but be more motivated to add taxes in various names, so as to add more fun to their luxurious life.

As for the two counties occupied by the State of Yan, many civilians who fell into famine and cold and froze to death were subconsciously ignored by the superiors because they had stolen winter rations, plundered winter clothes, and robbed their families to save money. .

In their eyes, the two counties of Qi State have a large population and a lot of money and food, as if no matter how much they searched, they would never be exhausted.

And the people who died are embarrassing, aren’t there tens of thousands of people?

Compared with the millions of people in these two counties, it is nothing to mention.

However, although the rule of the State of Yan was extremely tyrannical, the sufficient wealth plundered from these two counties was largely unable to prevent the whole country of the State of Yan.

King Yan himself knew that he ruled the foundation of Yan State, and the strength to maintain the rule of Qi State and the two armies was mainly the army of 150,000 in his own hands.

That’s right, after winning these two counties, the country of Yan, which had only 100,000 troops, was left.

Using the money and food of the two armies, they continued to recruit 50,000 people, expanding the number of soldiers in the Yan Kingdom.

Therefore, King Yan distributed some of the plundered wealth to these soldiers, although it was not too much, only 1/3.

But for these soldiers with the same bitterness, even if it is 1/3, it is still an extremely considerable amount, and many people have never seen so much money in their lives.

As a result, the loyalty of the troops of the Yan Kingdom to King Yan has been greatly improved, and the morale has also improved to a relatively considerable level.

With the support of these soldiers, even though the rule in these two counties was extremely tyrannical, many people stood up to resist.

But with the help of these soldiers, these righteous men who fought for freedom and survival, under the positive pressure of the feudal kingship, were not enough.

Since then, the great cause of looting in the state of Qi has continued, but it has only suffered the people of the state of Qi in those two counties. Not to mention that they have just been ravaged by the war, they have finally settled down. As a result, their new rulers are more wild than those chaotic armies. hair.

Because those chaotic armies are armies, they are bound by distance, and although they will rob, they are only rough searches.

It’s like their rulers have to collect taxes in every aspect, down to every detail of life, and even to drink water, they have to charge them for drinking water. It’s really exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes are so high that it’s hard to live.

King Qi, who hid in Langya, naturally knew about the lives of the people in these two counties.

But he didn’t feel the slightest pain, but was very happy.

He understands that if he wants to take back these two counties, his own strength is absolutely insufficient, so he needs more strength.

If the support of the people in the county can be mobilized at that time, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

Naturally, King Qi was not saddened by the atrocities of Yan State, but delighted.

The more brutal the state of Yan was, the more it set off the wise and benevolent King Qi.

At that time, when the master of the king returns, the people will not eat the pot pulp, and come from all directions to cast it.

Therefore, the people of the two counties are destined to live a difficult life!
