Xianyang, after the Chinese New Year, became unusually lively. A large number of refugees poured into Xianyang from the north and south. The two armies of the Han Dynasty captured troops from the north and south. Qin's southern border army and northern border area Both fell, and in the Bashu area, the Bashu rebel army controlled by the Han army formed a confrontation with Bai Qi's 50,000 new army. Outside Hangu Pass, Xu Yahua was forced to retreat, but the troops of the Han Dynasty's First Military Region gathered more and more. More and more phenomena showed that the Han army's large-scale offensive would inevitably come as scheduled between April and June. Most of the people who fled into Xianyang were the lowest level of the people. They lacked information. According to the official propaganda, the Han State was naturally a scourge and the Qin people's formidable enemy. If they were allowed to occupy the Qin State, the people would be in dire straits. It is difficult for people to survive, but for the Qin people with a little knowledge, these propaganda are so ridiculous. A long time ago, some big shots in the Qin State quietly transferred their property to the Han State. Many people did nothing but keep their face. In addition to some needs, almost all the gold and silver that could be taken away had been transferred to the Han Dynasty through some underground channels. Therefore, a complete underground chain has been formed, which is responsible for transferring property for these people. Although they charge expensive handling fees, they have always been sought after by the wealthy people of Qin because of their good reputation. Of course, they could not imagine that the top end of this black industry chain was controlled by the National Security Bureau of the Han State and was responsible to the Qin Intelligence Department. Controlling this black industry chain, the Intelligence Department obtained countless internal intelligence of the Qin State. , were well aware of the internal dynamics of the Qin State. Of course, through this, they also earned huge amounts of money. This money was beyond what Wang Wudi could understand. Cao Tianci set up a small treasury in the National Security Bureau specifically for To pay for some project expenses that cannot be done openly. ¡°Perhaps some people also understand that such an industrial chain is absolutely inseparable from the control of the Han people, but what does it matter? The Qin State building is about to collapse. All they want is to live a happy life in the new country in the future. The Han people have private property protection laws. As long as the money can be transferred to Han and an account is opened in a Han bank, it will still be theirs in the future. If placed in Qin. That's not a sure thing. The Qin State is now poor and exhausted, and the military expenditure problem can no longer be solved by excessive taxation, because the common people have nothing for them to exploit. Lu Chao had no choice but to pay attention to those wealthy households, businessmen and officials. During the Chinese New Year alone, more than thirty officials were arrested and imprisoned, men were sent into the army, and women were sold. It was during this process that Lu Chao discovered this abnormal phenomenon. Because a large number of these officials had nothing when their homes were confiscated. Except for some superficial wealth, they did not have the huge wealth that he imagined. "I want to know what's going on?" Lu Chao looked at Mingtai and asked coldly. Mingtai looked at the list of confiscated houses, was silent for a moment, and said: "The general has his own Eagle Department. I guess you already know a lot of things." "That is to say. You have always known that these people are quietly asking questions. Han State transfers its own property, right?" Lu Chao asked angrily. "Yes, I know, because I am doing it myself." Mingtai's words surprised Lu Chao. Looking at his close partner, he could hardly believe his ears. "You, what did you say?" Mingtai raised his head and looked at Lu Chao, "Of course, I'm not doing it for myself. In Qin State, there is indeed such a black industrial chain. I destroyed some of it, but I also kept some, because I still want to use them. I transferred most of the Ming family's property to the Han Dynasty. I also quietly arranged for many of the Ming family's descendants to leave. Now these people have arrived in the Han Dynasty. ." Lu Chao was silent. Mingtai is not a member of the Ming family. His surname is actually Chen. Now that he is doing this, there is no doubt that he is repaying his kindness. "You have so little confidence in the Qin State. Do you think that our country, the Qin Dynasty, will be defeated?" He asked in a cold voice. "General, now that things have happened, there is no need for us to lie to ourselves anymore. The Qin Dynasty is finished. We cannot fight against the Han State, and our destruction is only a matter of time. I, Mingtai, will naturally advance and retreat with the general, even if he dies. No regrets, but I can't be sorry to the Ming family. I can't watch them die with us, so I sent away some of their descendants." Mingtai said: "If the general wants to punish them, Mingtai has nothing to say. You can say that." Lu Chao looked at Mingtai, but the anger on his face gradually faded away, "Forget it, the Ming family will leave. After all, they have an extraordinary kindness to you, and you and I love each other. Brother, I accept this sentiment, but from now on, I don't want this situation to happen again. You have to cut off this underground chain from the root." "Thank you, General Mingtai. He cupped his hands and said: "I will definitely do it. From tomorrow on, I will never do it again."?One tael of gold and silver was lost from Qin. " "Even if it's a mantis trying to block the car, I still have to make a last-ditch effort. Lu Chao said fiercely: "I have prepared to issue an order. All men from the Qin State who are over fourteen years old and under sixty years old will enlist in the army, carry their own weapons, and gather in Xianyang before the end of March. Those who fail to arrive after the deadline will be Those who rebel will be killed without mercy. " "How can a group of sheep be the opponent of a lion? "Mingtai smiled bitterly. "But if the sheep reach a certain number, they can still knock down the lions. Lu Chao said coldly: "Ba Shu, I will give up. I have asked Bai Qi to lead his army back to Xianyang and Hangu Pass. I will also give up. All supplies and workshops have begun to retreat to Xianyang. Xu Yahua He and his 100,000 troops will also return to Xianyang. I will organize a million troops in Xianyang to fight to the death with the Han army. " "If you win, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you lose, it's over. "Lu Chao raised his head and laughed like crazy. Mingtai, who walked out of the black ice platform, felt cold all over his body. Lu Chao seemed to be mentally disturbed. Even he felt that Lu Chao, who was a little frightened and went crazy, didn't know what he would do. When he returned to his mansion, his confidant Qin Yijian walked in, "Commander, the Ying Department has gone crazy and arrested officials in Xianyang. Without any trial, people's homes were confiscated and their families were exterminated. Now people in Xianyang are in panic. The Han people haven't attacked yet, but we ourselves are about to collapse. " "The general needs a lot of money for military expenses. Now there are so many refugees gathered in Xianyang, and they also need to eat. There is no other way but to organize the men among them and turn them into an army, so that they can be easily controlled. , but where the money comes from, it can only come from these people. If you don¡¯t confiscate their homes, then whose homes will be confiscated? These people have enjoyed so much happiness in Qin, and now it is time for them to make contributions. "Mingtai said coldly. Qin Yijian shuddered, "After that Gou Yi escaped from the south, he completely turned into a madman. He even captured several of our Heibingtai people. I'm going to Theory, but he was kicked out. Tell me to be more honest, or else you'll even arrest me. " "Since you know he is a madman, why are you going to provoke him? "Mingtai sighed, "Let brothers be careful not to hit his knife edge. I won't be able to protect him by then. Those brothers you mentioned, I will ask Gou Yi to release them. . " "Commander, the current situation is not good! We have to think of a way! " "Okay, I want to be quiet for a while, you go out first! "Mingtai glared at Qin Yijian and reprimanded. Watching Qin Yijian leave in frustration, Mingtai covered his forehead with both hands and gently rubbed his thumbs on the sun. The trees fell and the hozens scattered. Da Qin's people were already divided. He reached out and pulled out a newspaper from the drawer under the table. It was the Dahan Daily. The Qin State was now very tight on the news from the Han Dynasty, but this did not mean Mingtai and others. Gao Yuan ascended the throne as emperor and gave up all power, transferring administrative power to the Assembly Hall, transferring legislative power to the Great Council, transferring judicial power to the People's Court, the Procuratorate and the Police Department, and even handed over the command of the army. Gao Yuan was given to the chief assistant, and his actions were so big that Mingtai was stunned. He always thought that everything Gao Yuan did in Dahan was just to deceive people. Once the overall situation was determined, he would slowly take back what he had released. power, but the reality was far beyond Mingtai¡¯s expectation. Gao Yuan actually gave up. ¡°It turns out that you really think so. "He murmured in his heart. Looking at the eye-catching headlines on the newspaper, Mingtai felt incredible and at the same time felt natural. "Separation of three powers, mutual checks and balances" Absolute power brings absolute ** will belong to the people "Return to the People" These are Gao Yuan's recent masterpieces, which were published in Dahan Daily and are known to every Han people. Of course, these things that were regarded as treasures by the Han people were regarded as heresies in the Qin State. Strict ban ¡°Can what you say and think really be achieved? "Looking at the prospects of the scenes described by Gao Yuan, Mingtai felt a little incredible. "Without a strong ruler, your big man can really do this? No, I don¡¯t believe it. The reason why the Han Dynasty is so hospitable is because of your existence. Once you are gone, problems will inevitably arise. If you hand over power, it may be the first step in the decline of the Han Dynasty. " Mingtai said to himself in his heart, even on the Dahan Daily, there are various voices. There are many people who express opposition. The Han people are indeed very interesting. Although Gao Yuan's masterpiece is in the first article on the first page, it is not in the first page. On the second page of the subpage, there are endless articles refuting Gao Yuan. The Dahan Daily can actually publish them as they are, but Gao Yuan turns a blind eye and even has some pretense.??There was a debate with these people in the newspapers. "Such a thing, in Mingtai's view, is completely unimaginable. How could the dignity of the king be lost so easily? Or, is this what the Han Dynasty calls freedom of speech?" I can¡¯t understand it!
