General Qin

The surrender ceremony of Qi State was completed.

The Qin army began to send people into Linzi to take over Linzi's city defenses, control the palace of the king of Qi, maintain order in the city, and disarm the Qi army in the city at the same time.

Compared with the scene where Yan, Wei, Chu and other countries were subjugated, the Qin army immediately escorted its monarchs, ministers, nobles, harem concubines, and wealth and treasures to Xianyang.

The situation in Qi State is even more complicated, and it cannot be handled in one size fits all according to the previous method.

First, although King Qi surrendered, most of the cities in Qidi were still in the hands of local doctors and nobles. If the Qin army wanted to pacify Qidi as soon as possible, it was natural that the main method was to recruit and surrender, and the methods should be gentler.

So now Zhao Tuo has to save face for these princes and nobles who surrendered, and not treat each other as pure servants. Lose wealth to help the Qin army occupy all the cities of Qi as soon as possible.

The second is that Zhao Tuo was ordered to attack Qi this time, and the demise of Tian's Qi State was just the beginning.

For him, there was an equally important task immediately behind.

Even in Zhao Tuo's eyes, the importance of this task is no less important than the destruction of Tian's Sheji.

"Chen Tianjia, pay my respects to General Zhao."

Qi Xiang Tianjia, kneeling in front of Zhao Tuo at this moment, was terrified and regarded himself as a servant.

After the death of Qi State, Zhao Tuo would no longer call him Xiangbang.

He hehe laughed and said: "Mr. Tian, ​​please, after today, you and I are both servants of the king and people of the same country. There is no need to be so panic."

The Zhao Tuo in front of him had a gentle voice and a kind face, not the haughty and arrogant posture as imagined.

Tian Jia immediately let go of most of his apprehension. He plucked up his courage and said with a smile on his face: "If you can save your life, it will be the kindness of the king and the general. I just don't know what your envoy said before, if we can persuade you to surrender to Qin , you can preserve your wealth..."

Hearing Tian Jia mentioned this key point, many ministers of Qi who surrendered behind him all opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhao Tuo eagerly.

They voluntarily surrendered. In addition to saving their lives as the Qin people said, it is also an important condition for them to keep their wealth.

Zhao Tuo smiled knowingly and said: "Of course, since I promised, I will not break the promise. Please rest assured, gentlemen, and go back to the city, pack up your belongings, and gather your clan and family members. You can bring all your belongings with you at that time." Zhenbao, I will meet the king in Xianyang, and I can also accompany Qi Jun in Guanzhong in the future, sharing wealth and honor."

Hearing this, some of Qi's officials turned pale, and said to himself: "Isn't this going to let our family move to the Western Land, and there will be no chance of returning to Qi?"

There are not a few people who have such thoughts, but no one dares to say it, but all of them are grateful.

After all, their lives were saved and their wealth was preserved. Zhao Tuo did not break his promise.

As a subjugated minister, following King Qi Jianxi to Xianyang to meet King Qin, this is even more due meaning, and there is nothing to complain about.

They were obedient to Zhao Tuo, thankful and withdrew.

Wait until these ministers of the state of Qi return to the city under the supervision of Qin Zu to collect property and gather their clans.

Li Shiqi chuckled, and praised: "Your Majesty's edict against Qi is really a feat."

Zhao Tuo nodded.

As Li Shiqi said, Qin's edict against Qi was not simple.

First, the son of Hou Sheng appealed for a petition, forcing the Qi State to gather troops to resist, and Qin State could justifiably get an excuse to attack Qi. This is the so-called famous division.

When the soldiers entered Linzi, Zhao Tuo was able to induce many people to surrender voluntarily on the condition that the lives of these Dukes and Ministers named in the edict were preserved.

If there was no such edict, Tian Jia and many ministers of the Qi State would naturally have to put forward various conditions and bargain in the face of the surrender of the Qin people.

After having that edict, the first surrender condition proposed by Tian Jia and others was to save their lives. At this time, Zhao Tuo promised to keep their wealth and wealth, so that they dared not open their mouths again, even the will to surrender Much stronger.

After the matter is completed, let these people bring their belongings and gather the clan to enter the customs together. This not only fulfills the promise, shows the Qin army's trustworthiness, but also paves the way for Zhao Tuo's next major event.

He wants to move the Tianqi clan of Qidi to Xianyang!

Under normal circumstances, the task of uprooting the Tian Qi clan that has been intertwined in Qi for hundreds of years is to some extent even more difficult than destroying Qi.

If this kind of thing is done slowly after the reunification, it will definitely be difficult to clean it up in one go due to Qin's weak power in Shandong.

But now, with the prestige of destroying Qi, Zhao Tuo was able to accomplish this great event with the power of thunder, relying on the presence of more than 100,000 Qin troops and threats of swords and soldiers.

And Tian Jia and other officials and aristocrats of the Qi State moved their families to the west meekly, which set an example for the remaining Qidi Zhutian and could weaken their resistance.

If you work together, things will go smoothly.

At this time, the Qin army completely controlled Linzi and ensured the safety of the city.

Surrounded by Li Shiqi and all the short soldiers, Zhao Tuo walked into the grand capital of Qi.

"The city of Linzi is really the capital of the world, and it is the best in the world."

Zhao Tuo walked on Linzi Avenue, glanced at the appearance of the city, and sighed as he walked.

When he arrived at King Qi's palace, he was even more amazed by the treasures and splendid palaces.

"It's a pity that the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi and Linzi fell. Most of the treasures in the Qi Palace were looted by the Yan people. Otherwise, the number of treasures in the palace would have doubled."

Zhao Tuo sighed, but then he thought about it. Although the Yan State searched many treasures from Qi and left, in the end, Yan State was destroyed by the Qin army. After a lap, it finally fell into the hands of the Qin people.

Zhao Tuo shook his head, as expected, that sentence was appropriate for the occasion.

"The collection of Yan Zhao, the management of Han and Wei, the elites of Qi and Chu, for several generations, plundered their people, leaning against mountains. If you can't have it, lose it to them."

The treasures accumulated by the six countries for hundreds of years are all owned by the Qin people today.

All will become the decorations in Xianyang Palace, showing the great achievements of Qin Wangzheng in unifying the world.

"Distribute the money from the treasury to the soldiers according to their merits. All the treasures and playthings of the Qi Palace should be sealed in boxes, and the concubines and women in the palace should not be insulted. After the inventory is completed, they will be escorted west."

Zhao Tuo also came up from the bottom, knowing the thoughts of the soldiers at the bottom, and arranged all kinds of matters, trying his best to make everyone in the army reward and satisfy the morale of the army.

Walking all the way between the Qi palaces, Zhao Tuo finally stopped in front of a building that was still burning with flames.

Although many people tried to put out the fire, the fire was still fierce in the wind.

"General, this is where Tian's ancestral temple is located. It is said that Tian Dan took advantage of King Qi's surrender, entered it and burned himself to death."

There was a burnt smell in the air, and there was smoke in the wind.

Zhao Tuo felt emotional in his heart.

Tian Dan.

When Da Sima Tianchong surrendered in Zhencheng, one of the requests he made to Zhao Tuo was to let Tian Dan go.

Tian Chong's mind, Zhao Tuo knew, was nothing more than keeping a general who had been on the battlefield for Qi, and keeping the last hope for Qi's survival.

He doesn't care, because the general situation has already been set, and it cannot be changed by just one or two people.

"Loyal ministers want to fight to the death, but the king surrenders first."

"Tian Dan burned the ancestral temple's heavy vessels, burned himself to death, and was buried for the state of Qi. He is also considered a loyal man. After the fire is extinguished, if his body can be found, it should be buried in the side of Linzi City."

Zhao Tuo sighed and ordered to go on.

He turned his head and saw a thin man walking towards here after being searched by his own soldiers.

This is the leader of Qin's intermediary in Qi, and he has delivered a lot of useful information to the Qin army.

"Chen Chi, meet General Zhao."

Chen Chi bowed down with a respectful gesture.

Zhao Tuo nodded and said: "Get up, you have been active in the city of Linzi. You have passed a lot of useful information and found convenience for us to fight. This time, you have urged Tian Jia and others to surrender. It will be a great achievement. When you return to the country in the future, you will be determined." There will be a reward."

Chen Chi hurriedly said: "The general is absurd."

As he spoke, he respectfully took out several scrolls of silk script.

"General, this is the list of the Zhongtian clan in Linzi City that we have collected, as well as the names of powerful nobles who are inclined to our state of Qin and can be supported."

"Very good, this is also a great achievement."

Zhao Tuo praised it, and Li Shang stepped forward to take it.

Zhao Tuo opened a silk book, looked at the name on it, and nodded slightly.

This is the task of the Qin people in Linzi, who are responsible for finding out the Zhongtian clan in Linzi City, and when the great migration occurs, they will wipe out those powerful clans. At the same time, support some clans who are pro-Qin and help Qin to control the whole land faster.

But before doing this, Zhao Tuo had two more important things to do.

"I should personally write a letter to report the news that the king of Qi in Xianyang has surrendered, so that the king will be happy."

"Li Shang, pass on our military order again, ordering Meng Tian, ​​Shejian, Zhao Guang and others to lead their troops to carry the King Qi's edict to persuade them to surrender, divide the cities of Qi, and take the whole territory of Qi!"

After the death of Qi, there are still some excessive plots that need to be described. As for the plot of Princess Shang that many people are looking forward to, according to the outline arrangement, it is in front of the county and enfeoffment system. Going forward, there is another very important national event.
