Chapter 200 Qin and Han compare, how not to die?
Going on a mission is a very common thing.
This kind of rule was formed as early as the Warring States Period.
The two sides are fighting, and the envoys will not be killed.
As long as you reveal your identity as an envoy on the road, most places along the way will not make things difficult for the envoy.
Of course, the premise is that you don't pass through the territory of a hostile country.
That way, if others don't cause trouble for you, it's just because you're out of your mind, and no normal person would let you go.
Although Chen Ping and others were cautious along the way, they still showed off the Han envoys all the way.
The entire mission was still dressed in the same outfit as when they left Luoyang, without any disguise.
So even though it looks neat, it is also covered in dust.
After entering the city, Chen Ping and others tidied up their clothes to make themselves look as less embarrassed as possible.
Wang Li was very aware of his current situation, so he did not make things difficult for these members of the mission.
Chen Ping was allowed to enter with ten of his followers, and the rest were properly accommodated.
Chen Ping, holding the banner of Han Dynasty, straightened his back and strode in.
What?
Do you think it is that beautiful thread that represents the identity of the envoy and the power of the king?
wrong!
Big mistake!
In fact, Jingjie is the stick...
A stick often used as a crutch…
Historically, the Huns did not understand these things, so Su Wu could always retain the true banner.
When he saw the pole in Chen Ping's hand, Wang Li straightened his posture.
The education he had received did not allow him to show disdain on such occasions.
Even if Qin is destroyed by Han, even if they are hostile people.
Qin is no longer around, but he still pretends to look like him. Who can show him?
"Chen Ping, the Han envoy, went to Xindu on behalf of the King of Han and met General Wang..." Chen Ping held the banner in his hand and bent slightly, but the banner remained upright without any shaking.
The banner represents the royal power, and having this banner here represents the presence of the King of Han.
Bending down to salute is just a representation of Chen Ping himself, and the banner must not be moved.
The status of the two was different, and Wang Li's status was far from enough for the King of Han to pay him tribute.
It's okay to treat the corporal as a courtesy once in a while, but if you do it constantly, it will bring the two sides closer, but it will directly damage the status of the royal power.
"I have met the King of Han and the envoy of Han!" Wang Li saluted politely, and then said: "I didn't expect it to be Prime Minister Chen..."
Of course Wang Li knew that Chen Ping was the prime minister of Han Dynasty, but he was still a little surprised by this mission.
"General Wang laughed. The Prime Minister is not the Prime Minister. It is just a position. These are not important. As long as you have the country and the people in your heart, you can display your ambitions no matter what position you are in!" Chen Ping said with a slight smile.
"Hey! If Great Qin had talents like Chen Xiang, why would it be like this?" Wang Li couldn't help but sigh.
Is there really no such person in Da Qin?
Of course there are, but his system and environment prevent such people from getting ahead.
Coupled with the fact that treacherous ministers are in power, even the prime ministers like Li Sifeng Quji have been killed. What will happen to others?
"Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. The roots of Qin's disaster have been laid long ago. The second generation has no justice. Zhao Gao and others colluded with each other, causing loyal ministers and generals to fall one after another. This result is not surprising!" Chen Ping laughed in his heart, it's not me.
If you don’t go, it’s because you don’t want to go...
Wang Li frowned slightly.
I secretly thought that this Chen Ping is not simple.
Two simple sentences. The first sentence shows the general environment of the Han Dynasty and the attitude of the King of Han towards the people and officials.
The second sentence shows that Qin's problems have been around for a long time. Even if it is not destroyed today, it will be destroyed in the future.
Of course, Wang Li had no way to verify this, because Qin had already died, so it made sense for Chen Ping to say this.
Thinking of this, Wang Li spread his hands and said casually: "The country has been destroyed and the family has fallen, and the morale of the soldiers has long been gone. Now I can't control this army. If the Han Dynasty can properly arrange these soldiers, I am willing to disarm and return to the field, and be a stable soldier."
Farmer!"
"The country is destroyed, but the family is not. The King of Han has already decreed that the policies of all places in Guanzhong are consistent with the Han Dynasty. The land is divided equally and taxes are exempted for three years. If the army officers and soldiers are willing to continue to serve the country, they can stay.
If you don't want to, you can return home on your own." Chen Ping talked about some of Wang Buxu's policies in Guanzhong.
This policy is very tempting to ordinary soldiers, but it is not good news to officers.
Generally speaking, according to the new standards of the Han Dynasty, the land at home of an officer from the rank of village commander to the top of the army exceeded the standard.
But these are not the most important. Although the treatment of officers has been reduced on land, it has increased in other aspects.
Although overall it is still not as good as before, it is not unacceptable.
After all, as a defeated person, it is simply a fantasy to still enjoy the previous treatment.
Chen Ping continued: "Your Majesty is well aware that the soldiers have toiled hard on the expedition, and in addition to the hardships of guarding the Great Wall before, they have not seen their families for several years. Before leaving, the King specially explained this history. The King has summoned the families of the soldiers around Xianyang to write family letters.
One letter will be sent later."
"What???" Wang Li was shocked.
The Qin Dynasty could do this kind of thing, but they didn't have the time to do it.
It's a waste of time and energy, but it doesn't bring any obvious results. Although everyone with a discerning eye knows that this can motivate the soldiers, some people just think that it will arouse the homesickness of the soldiers, and they will not be able to concentrate on their work.
Wang Li knew that once the news spread, Han would basically capture the morale of half of its soldiers.
To put it bluntly, the current Qin Army, the Qin Army without the First Emperor, the Qin Army after two generations of devastation, they don't care who they follow, they only care about the people they follow, they don't care about them.
Chen Ping smiled slightly and continued: "These are just a little effort. Does General Wang know what kind of life the people of Han are living now? They can cultivate official land to offset the taxes of the year. If it exceeds the tax, the government will need to
Pay him a reward.”
"The king never calls for labor at will. Even if he marched westward to Guanzhong before, the food and grass he needed were transported by the army himself. Han law stipulates that there are twenty days of labor every year. If the service period exceeds the service period, the grain will be provided for every two days.
A dou can offset the next year's taxes..."
"In addition, in order to cope with the war, the king ordered various areas of the Han Kingdom to conduct field farming. For example, in this battle to destroy Chu, the Han army's food and grass will be supplied on-site from Dongjun, Dangjun, and Yingchuanjun.
There is no need to conscript the people, the produce of the official fields is enough..."
"In addition, the Han army has generals with food and grass, and a full-time baggage team under them. For the soldiers who are injured and can no longer fight, they have also arranged a livelihood for them. They do not want to get rich, but at least as long as they can move, they will never die of hunger in this life.
of."
