Chapter 184 Great victory!
Ying Chang, who was standing on the city wall watching the battle, saw this scene, and a curve appeared on the corner of his mouth, showing a smile like spring breeze, and felt relaxed all over.
Daqin is saved!
Yang Xiao also smiled, smiling like a flower, and he could be said to be a beautiful smile, and the country was a shame Ying Chang didn't see it.
"Your Majesty, we finally won!"
"God has eyes, God has eyes!"
"The Qin Dynasty will surely soar into the sky after this disaster!"
At this time, the ministers of the court climbed up to the city wall, and each of them burst into tears. The victory of this war finally made a huge rock fall in their hearts, and they felt relaxed all over. In addition, they couldn't help but think about the past from beginning to end of the battle.
When you think about it carefully, it is really not easy to win this war.
"Don't be happy too early, this is just beginning!" Ying Chang's face turned right, and his deep eyes flashed with light.
As soon as the words came, the ministers couldn't help but calm down, their faces showing heavy expressions.
Yes, this has just begun. The victory of this war can only represent the victory of Daqin in the first stage, and it will face a more severe situation next.
"We'll win!"
"Long live the Great Qin! Long live! Long live!"
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
When the Jin army was defeated and surrendered, the old Qin people shouted excitedly. After shouting, a father hugged the child and cried bitterly, a family of three hugged their heads and cried bitterly, and some hugged the corpses of their relatives, crying sadly and crying unconsciously.
Celebrate this difficult victory with crying!
The defeated Jin army shook their heads and sighed with a deep face, and their faces were ashes, emitting a decadent aura.
Half an hour later, Yangguan Daying Commander's tent!
Ying Chang was in high spirits and looked around everyone with a sharp look. Except for Luo Xing and Yang Xiao, the civil and military ministers stood on both sides with a solemn expression. The people in the tent did not speak a word, and could quietly hear the sound of the needle falling.
"Report!"
At this time, a sound came from outside the account.
"Enter!" Ying Chang said with a serious face and a tone.
After the words came, Luo Xing lifted the curtain and walked into the tent without walking. When he reached the central position, he respectfully knelt on one knee to compile the report: "Report to Your Majesty, the casualties and results have been counted. In this battle, our army was killed 60,000, seriously injured 8,000, and 14,000 softly, with a total of 82,000 casualties!"
"In this battle, our army killed 80,000 enemies and captured 200,000 prisoners. The rest of the Jin army escaped while the chaos was in trouble. The last general calculated that the escaped Jin army was about 50,000, which was no longer a threat to our Qin Dynasty. At the beginning of the Yangguan Defense Battle, our army killed 250,000 enemies in total, seized nearly 500,000 sets of exquisite weapons and armor, 40,000 war horses, and 180,000 stones of food. I believe that after this battle, the Jin Empire will be difficult to attack Qin within five years!"
"Twenty-hundred thousand prisoners..." Ying Chang frowned slightly, and his eyebrows fell into deep thought.
There are a lot of 200,000 prisoners, and they consume one or two thousand stones of food a day, ten days are 10,000 or 200,000 or 200,000 or 100,000 or 600,000 a year. By doing this, Daqin could not withstand it.
If it were before the war, the Qin Dynasty could barely support these prisoners, but because of this war, a large amount of fertile land in Shangyang County was abandoned due to no one to cultivate it. This year, the grain production of Shangyang County was detained, and this year it was inevitable that the people of Shangyang County would face hunger, and the court would be responsible for the people of Shangyang County.
Although the population of Shangyang County has dropped sharply after this battle, there are still nearly 100,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people. In addition, 200,000 prisoners and 30,000 prisoners who are building canals in Xianyang, nearly 400,000 people. In other words, the Qin court has to bear the food for 400,000 people!
The Minister of Works, Jiang Haiyou, took a step forward and wrote a compilation with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, 200,000 prisoners must be kept, and they must not be let go!"
The canal and road construction plan is to require people, and 200,000 labor cannot be wasted.
"How much food does the national treasury have?" Ying Chang looked at the Minister of Revenue, Jaro asked. Hearing this, Jaro immediately took a small step forward and wrote a solemn compilation and replied: "Your Majesty, it is not considered to be seized. The Qi Empire supports it. The national treasury has 3.2 million stones of grain. If the seizure is added, the Qi Empire will support it, about 3.6 million stones!"
"I understand. These 200,000 prisoners will be handed over to the Ministry of Works after the war!" Ying Chang chose to stay when he heard the numbers.
Of course, Ying Chang didn't want to let the prisoners go. If there was not enough food, he planned to kill half of the prisoners of war.
But Jiang Haiyou didn't know what Ying Chang thought. When Jiang Haiyou heard the prisoners handed over to the Ministry of Works, he let out a heavy sigh.
"Your Majesty, I have something to do!"
At this time, Prime Minister Chang Zi flew forward and bent down expressionlessly to compile the report.
"Authentication!" Ying Chang replied indifferently.
"Your Majesty, what I want to ask, what should Your Majesty deal with the old Qin people who participated in the war in Yangguan?" Chang Zifei asked with a respectful look.
This has suddenly come to some question.
All civil and military officials were in deep thoughts, thinking about how to deal with the old Qin people in Yangguan.
"What suggestions do Chang Xiang have?" Ying Chang threw the problem to Chang Zifei again.
"I suggest you let it go!" Chang Zifei replied without thinking.
As soon as the words came, Yang Ze, the Minister of War, frowned immediately, and said in a hesitation, "Prime Minister, you have to think clearly, if the old Qin people in Yangguan leave, who will watch the 200,000 prisoners? Who will guard Yangguan? Although Your Majesty has transferred 50,000 Yang family troops to support Xiguan, it will take at least two months for the Yang family troops to arrive!"
"In two months, everything can happen, including the Jin army's comeback. Your Majesty, I suggest that you let the old Qin people in Yangguan come home after the Yang family army comes!" Yang Ze suggested facing Ying Changzuoji.
"Your Majesty, I am following the Prime Minister's intention. There is one reason. Most old Qin people brought their families to Yangguan to participate in the war. In this battle, the old Qin people died their son's dead son, the dead father's dead father, and the dead mother's dead mother. Now that the Jin army has surrendered, this battle has come to an end. What the old Qin people want to do most now is to bring the bodies of their close friends and relatives home to bury!"
"Our court has treated too many old Qin people badly, and they cannot help but satisfy their wish to bring the bodies of their close friends and relatives home..." As the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War spoke, tears couldn't help falling, his tone was choked and his face was filled with grief.
"Your Majesty, I am following the will of Lord Yang. 200,000 prisoners will never be allowed to be missed. These 200,000 prisoners are now war horses tied with reins. If no one tamed them, they will definitely rush around like war horses that have broken away from reins. All the victory that I finally won by Qin will be lost. I ask Your Majesty to put the overall situation first!" Jia Luo, the Minister of Revenue, stood up with a solemn expression and expressed his opinion.
"Your Majesty, I follow the will of Lord Yang, and put the overall situation first!"
