Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

As Yang Ming said, if he wants to investigate the Shu County Sheriff, he doesn't need to do it himself. He only needs to show an attitude, and someone will naturally send him evidence of the Shu County Sheriff's lawlessness. It doesn't matter to Yang Ming what the thoughts of the person who sent the evidence are, whether it is for fairness and justice, or to use Yang Ming's hand to remove his stumbling blocks.

Yang Ming came to Jinguan City in early August, and revealed his identity on the third day of August. On the fifth day of August, there were already Shu County Lieutenant and Shu County Supervisor, and the Shu County Sheriff was exiled to the four countries with the help of Qin State. Evidence of large-scale bribery for the remnants' affairs was presented to Yang Ming, including the fact that the Shu County governor forced the people of Shu Mountain to donate beautiful women.

It is precisely because of this that the Shushan Rebellion occurred. In the past hundreds of years, although the people of Shushan have not truly been registered as households, they have been included in the Qin State's own ruling system. Every year, the Shushan Rebellion The people used various ores, cordyceps, and furs as taxes and paid them to the Qin government. Naturally, there was a reason for the sudden rebellion.

"This is the power of power. My husband didn't do anything at all. He was just a little indifferent to the governor of Shu County at the banquet and refused his gift. Those people were able to think of so many and send so much evidence to my husband. In front of me." At Yang Ming's temporary residence, Yan Lingji looked through the evidence of the Shu County Sheriff's corruption and perversion of the law, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Yan Lingji thought that this time she would become a master in investigating crimes, just like what Han Fei did when they were in Xinzheng. When they made trouble in Xinzheng, they had fought against Han Fei several times. Regarding Han Fei's intelligence, , especially the ability to investigate cases is still very admirable.

But now, Yang Ming lets Yan Lingji see another kind of power. It turns out that investigating a case can be such a simple thing. You can get what you want without saying anything, not even saying anything. The truth you want, this really subverts Yan Lingji's understanding.

At this moment, Yan Lingji realized that she really knew nothing about power, perhaps because she had been too superstitious about force before.

"When you are a bureaucrat at the level of Shu Governor in Shu County, everything is a side issue. Only one word of power is the most fatal. The person who sent these evidences may not be clean, but so what. When I show my disapproval of Shu When the county governor is dissatisfied, he uses his power to suppress others. The battle of wits and courage as you imagined, and the search for evidence will not happen at all. If a second-rate master faces the grandmaster, will the grandmaster still want to fight him? In other words, The same is true in the officialdom." Yang Mingdao, who had already decided to take down the governor of Shu County.

Over the years, the governor of Shu County has been far away from the king of Qin in the sky of Shu County. He has lived a very comfortable life as the king of Qin. Correspondingly, there are all kinds of disgusting things. Taking advantage of the opportunity to take bribes is one of them. The cleanest part, taking away wives and female slaves is not uncommon. Who makes those survivors of the Four Kingdoms all fat and powerful lambs?

Thinking that when the Qin army conquered the four kingdoms, they never oppressed the people of the four kingdoms to such an extent. Instead, when the Qin State was preparing to use less tough policies to eliminate the hostility of the people of the four kingdoms towards Qin, the governor of Shu County did more than The Qin army went too far.

Once the indulgence begins, it is difficult to go back, and it will only become more and more indulgent. In the end, the governor of Shu County turned his attention to Shu Mountain. Among the various rumors in Shu County, there were many rumors about the people of Shu Mountain, and the most common of them was Shu Mountain. The women inside are the most capable of singing and dancing, and they are also beautiful. After appreciating the tenderness of noble ladies from the four countries, the governor of Shu County actually wanted to experience the exotic customs and forced Shu Mountain to send beauties. Only then The rebellion in Shushan.

The incident of the governor of Shu County made Yang Ming think of another thing. After Qin unified the world, how many officials were qualified? This is actually a very debatable question. I don’t think in another time and space, Shang There was the matter of Sima Xin releasing Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew privately.

A glimpse of the leopard reveals the future governance system of the Qin State.

In particular, Shu Mountain is surrounded by mountains and ridges for thousands of miles. If a large army is used to conquer it, one or two tribes may be wiped out at the beginning and the other mountain tribes will be frightened. But what happens after that? It will only cause greater unrest later.

Moreover, for the conquest of places like Shushan, the issue of cost must also be taken into consideration, and Shushan is obviously not worth paying that cost. The best and most effective method is to use both kindness and power, especially when Yang Ming must rush to the Qin Dynasty at the end of the 20th year of the Qin Dynasty. Back in Xianyang, Yang Ming was not at home when several children were born. This time, Concubine Yan gave birth, but Yang Ming could not miss it no matter what.

"How are you going to handle the matter in Shushan?" Yueshen, who had been helping Yang Ming organize and compile evidence, raised his head from the pile of bamboo slips and asked.

"Convince people with force and convince people with reason." Yang Ming replied.

On the eighth day of August in the 20th year of the Qin Dynasty, the governor of Shu County was imprisoned for questioning. As many as 30 officials at all levels in Shu County were imprisoned from the county governor on down. For a while, the entire Shu County was in panic, not knowing the sword from Xianyang. Whether it will fall on his own head, especially when the news of Yang Ming's arrival in Shu County is no longer a secret.

On August 10, Yang Ming, the Grand Master of the State of Qin, mobilized 3,000 soldiers and horses from Shu County to leave Jinguan City and head towards Shu Mountain.

Outside the core area governed by Shu County, among the endless mountains, there is a mountain that is so tall that it is unknown how many feet high it is, hiding itself in the clouds and mist. Several old people gathered together and looked at the information sent back by the clansmen. He was lost in thought, his eyes full of solemnity.

Yang Ming, the Grand Master of the State of Qin, personally led troops to conquer Shu Mountain. For a time, the entire Shu Mountain felt a heavy pressure.

Forget about three thousand soldiers and horses. Before, Shushan had repelled the conquest of five thousand Qin troops with the help of its geographical advantage, but Yang Ming was different. Although Shushan was located in the southwest over the years, it was not an outsider, nor was it a foreigner. I know nothing about the news in the world.

Yang Ming's name has been heard even in Shushan. He has a respected position as Grand Master of the Qin State. He has dominated the world for nearly twenty years without a single defeat, and his personal force has reached an unpredictable state. Such a terrifying Even if there are not three thousand armored soldiers, even one person is enough to kill Shushan.

"Everyone, the moment of life and death has come for us in Shushan. Do you have any good strategies to face the menacing Qin people?" the great elder of Shushan asked.

His strength has reached the level of a master, and he is the real number one master in Shushan. But it is precisely because of this that he understands the terror of a great master. Shushan is good at it and can use it in front of the Qin army. Things are nothing in front of a great master.

"I once heard that the Grand Master of the Qin State arrested the governors of Shu County as soon as he came to Shu County. Among the crimes listed among those people were those who forced us to rebel in Shu Mountain. From this point of view, Grand Master Yang’s hostility towards us in Shushan should not be that deep, and maybe things can turn around." The second elder of Shushan said this after thinking for a long time.

Yang Ming's questioning of the governor of Shu County was undoubtedly a friendly act in the eyes of the people of Shu Mountain. This made people who had no intention of resisting in front of the Qin army inevitably think of luck.

"This matter is related to the life and death of our Shushan. How can we take any chances and pin the safety of the clan on the kindness of the Qin people? This is irresponsible to the clan." The second elder of Shushan just expressed his opinion, with a fiery temper. The three elders of Shushan have already spoken, placing the life and death of their entire clan on the enemy. Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world?

"Then what do you think we should do? With a great master and 3,000 Qin armored troops, what can we do to resist, with the blood of our clansmen?" Being so disrespected by the third elder, the second elder was also a little angry. The two of them were most at odds with each other on weekdays, and now they were about to quarrel again.

"Be prepared. The Qin army is so powerful that even the six kingdoms cannot resist it. Four kingdoms have been destroyed in a row. How can our Shushan be Qin's opponent? But if the Qin army wants to completely destroy our Shushan, we are not left to anyone's control. , Although the people of Shushan are afraid of trouble, they are not afraid of death." The fifth elder in a blue-gray robe said.

"We need to be prepared on both sides. Move the women and children away first, and we will stay and face the Qin army." Another sixth elder said.

"Seventh Elder, what do you think?" After listening to the opinions of several old brothers, the First Elder asked the Seventh Elder, who was the least conspicuous among the seven, but the most alternative. Compared to the six elders, who had old faces and white hair, , but this seventh elder has black hair and a childish face, the strongest and strongest, and does not look old at all.

"Let me tell you, if the Qin army wants to overthrow our Shu Mountain, there is no need for us to fight them. If the Qin army attacks the Qin army, we will retaliate against ours. Let's see who kills faster. On the plains of Shu County, the Qin people But there are quite a few." The seventh elder said sadly. It turns out that among the seven elders in Shushan, the seventh elder is the most ruthless and vicious one.

"You still have to make a decision before taking action." The elder's brows trembled. If he really listened to the opinions of the seventh elder, then Shushan and Qin would really fight to the death, although Shushan would definitely die.

"I knew you wouldn't listen to my opinion, so I'll just listen. You guys can discuss it slowly and tell me the result when the time comes." The seventh elder said nonchalantly.

During the discussion on the top of Shushan Mountain, time passed by slowly.

"Can the elders think of a way to deal with the Qin army?" In a house in Shu Mountain, a girl looked at her brother who had become Yu Yuan's guard in front of her and asked with concern.

"I don't know. The elders have wisdom beyond ordinary people. Maybe they can see things that we can't see. All we can do is follow the instructions of the elders and do what the elders tell us." The one who answered the girl was a A boy of twelve or thirteen years old, in Shushan, twelve or thirteen years old is already a very young age.
