My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 53: Promises must be kept, this is the rule of Qin
Afraid that Ying Chengyu might mistakenly think that he was refusing the task, Chen He explained seriously:

"In the past few years, South Korea's New Year's Day and Great Qin's New Year's Day were on the same day."

"But when the king succeeded to the throne last year, he corrected the new moon to the first day of September."

"So the first day of the year in Korea this year is the first day of September."

"If you want to feed the army, there will be no problem."

"Xicheng has a bumper grain harvest this year. The grain storage in the grain depot alone is enough to feed 20 people for three months."

"But after days of celebration, most of the city's wine and meat have been consumed!"

Ying Chengyu shook his head helplessly:

"It's changed again!"

Even though he has lived in this world for more than ten years, Ying Chengyu still cannot completely get used to the calendar of this period.

Because each country uses different calendars.

The Qin Dynasty used the Zhuanxu calendar, the Zhao State used the Xia calendar, and the Chu State used a mixture of the Zhou calendar and the Xia calendar.

A very intuitive example is that April in Da Qin corresponds to July in Chu State.

Even countries with the same calendar have different beginnings of the year.

For example, the first day of the lunar month is the first day of October in the Qin Dynasty, and the first day of the lunar month is the first day of the lunar month in South Korea.

This is not the end of the story. No matter which month the year is set, some countries will enter the next year after the first year, while some countries separate the year and month, and the first year of the year only serves as a political positioning, not a calendar positioning.

Chu State is the latter. Even if other countries do not know Chu State's new Zhengshuo, they will not mess up the year and month.

But Qin State is the former, so after the end of September of the eighth year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, it immediately jumped to October of the ninth year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, and what followed in December of the ninth year of Qin Wangzheng's reign was January of the ninth year of Qin Wangzheng's reign!
What’s even more outrageous is that the calendars, year-ends and counting methods used by various countries will also change!
How can people count the days?
It’s totally impossible to calculate!
After thinking about it for a while, Ying Chengqiao turned to ask: "Are there any wealthy households near Xicheng?"

Chen He immediately understood what Ying Chengyu was thinking: "General, do you want to get meat and wine from the rich?"

"But if this happens, the wealthy households may be dissatisfied."

"And even if we raided all the wealthy households near Xicheng, we would not be able to collect enough wine and meat for a hundred thousand troops."

Ying Chengxuan's voice was calm: "We, the Qin Dynasty, must keep our promises. This is the rule."

"Since I have promised a large army, I must fulfill it!"

Chen He was very moved.

Although it is impossible for him to attend tonight's banquet, let alone enjoy the food and wine.

But Ying Chengyu's attitude towards the soldiers convinced Chen He that Ying Chengyu was a man of great promise.

Since Ying Chengyu is willing to do his best to fulfill his promise to the army, he will probably fulfill his promise to him and help him get his family out!
"Hexagram Master!" The hexagram master was summoned, and Ying Chengyu pointed out with his right hand: "This is the commander of the general's army, holding the personal soldier tiger talisman."

"Next, the hexagram master will follow the master. If the master needs it, he will ask the general to take action with his own troops."

"If you need the cooperation of the middle, rear, and heavy troops, sir, you can also report it directly to the general."

"I have only one request, at all costs, let our soldiers have enough to eat and drink tonight!"

Chen He solemnly raised his hands: "Wei!"

Leaving the job of finding wine and meat to Chen He, Ying Chengxiao got busy non-stop.

Clean the battlefield to avoid the plague.

Each army counts its soldiers and reports its losses.

Find all the dead bodies, place their heads in the center of the army and mark the killers for announcement...

War is never just about killing people!
It was already midnight, and there were still busy people everywhere inside and outside Xicheng.

Suddenly, military law officer Cao Shan looked at his nose.

"What's the smell?"

Cao Shan had a burnt human head in his hand, and he subconsciously got closer and smelled it.

The colleague laughed when he saw this: "Cao Shan, are you so hungry that you want to eat people?"

"Hey, don't tell me, these brains taste really good when burned."

Cao Shan laughed and scolded: "My mother, who wants to eat people!"

"I smell the barbecue."

Another colleague cursed angrily: "Who doesn't smell the smell of barbecue?"

"Our place has the strongest barbecue smell in the whole army!"

"I'm telling you, I don't want to eat barbecue anymore for the next month."

My colleague was not joking when he said this.

All the corpses of Korean soldiers killed in this battle were piled here, nearly half of them were burnt and smelled of barbecue.It smells delicious, but it is destructive to humanity.

Even if they are all military judges who can play with their heads as balls, they are still disgusting at this moment.

But at this moment, noises came from all over the military camp.

"Do you smell it? It smells like meat!"

"Look, the baggage camp is bringing meat. The general really wants us to eat meat!"

"Not only meat, but also wine, hahaha! I will definitely drink two bowls today!"

"Who said our generals are incompetent? We defeated Xicheng in one battle, and the city was destroyed with food and wine. If you follow a general like this, you will live happily!"

Cao Shan murmured in disbelief: "There really is barbecue."

"Do you guys want to eat?"

All the military officials looked at each other in disbelief, then looked at the burnt heads in their hands, and finally spoke in unison fiercely:
"eat!"

Qin Jun's mind is very simple.

If you are good to them, can lead them to victory in battles, and can sell their lives at a good price, they will be willing to give their lives to you!

This morning, the army still had an attitude towards Ying Chengyu that he had to obey orders.

But now, when Ying Chengyu appeared in the army, all the soldiers who saw Ying Chengyu could not help but raise their hands and shout:

"Meet the General!"

With a gentle smile on his face, Ying Chengyu took the trouble to respond to the soldiers one by one:

"Eat slowly, don't hold on."

"Eat meat, there is so much meat, why do you only eat rice?"

"Hey, three heads? Hurry up and send them to the military magistrate. You will be knighted three days after the announcement. Today you have a great harvest, but what you harvest is not food, but a title!"

Looking at Ying Chengyu's gentle smile and listening to Ying Chengyu's attentive and nagging instructions, many soldiers' eyes were a little red.

If anyone talks to them about the mutiny again, they can kill all those who are making noises without the need for Ying Chengxuan’s order!
The army even erupted into shouts one after another:

"General Wansheng!"

Walking all the way to the edge of the army, Ying Chengyu greeted the soldiers guarding the barracks: "Let's all go eat."

The soldiers hurriedly handed over their hands: "General, it is my turn to wait for the soldiers tonight."

Ying Chengyu smiled: "I will bring my own soldiers to take your place tonight."

The soldiers were stunned: "General..."

Ying Chengyu waved his hand: "No need to persuade me anymore, go drink and eat meat!"

The soldiers were so moved that they handed over their hands heavily: "Thank you, General!"

After driving away the soldiers, Ying Chengyu smiled and greeted the soldiers:

"It's not easy for soldiers to have the opportunity to eat meat and drink wine."

"I will give it to them today, and tomorrow I will allow you to eat meat and drink wine."

"But don't stand still during the long night. Each of you can gather some meat for yourself and eat while you guard."

"But remember, no drinking is allowed tonight!"

All the soldiers happily handed over their hands: "Wei!"

The soldiers went to the defense line to replace the soldiers.

The soldiers set up a bonfire and laid out meat.

Bafu flipped the meat skewers quickly with his hands and feet, and soon brought a skewer of roasted venison to Ying Chengyu.

"Master, you eat!"

After taking the meat skewer and taking a big bite, Ying Chengyu let out a long sigh of satisfaction: "Comfortable!"

"This tastes just right. It's much better than Shang Shiling's food!"

Bafu was amused: "Master, you are exaggerating. How can my skills be compared with Shang Shiling?"

Ying Chengqiu chuckled: "Believe it or not, if Brother Wang were asked to choose, he would also like to sit here and eat your barbecued meat skewers with me?"

The eighth husband obviously didn't believe it: "How can the king appreciate my craftsmanship!"

Ying Chengyu was leaning on a stone. On the left was the city that had just been conquered, and on the right were the soldiers loyal to him. Looking up, he could see the bright moon.

Feeling the breeze blowing on his face, Ying Chengqiao smiled and murmured: "What I like is not craftsmanship, but freedom!"
