"Hmph, the Northern Barbarians are nothing but a bunch of Wuhuan slaves. If it weren't for the intervention of the King of the North Sea, how could they be allowed to run rampant?"
The palace guard was extremely disdainful of the barbarians mentioned by the city gate officer.
He looked as if no matter how many Wu Huan slaves he had, they would not be enough to kill him if they met him.
Such an attitude is definitely a bit too arrogant.
However, the city gate officials and the surrounding people did not think there was anything wrong. The people of the Qin Dynasty at that time had a natural sense of superiority and contempt for the barbarians.
Someone even said, "It would be great if the Southern Grand Commandant could achieve a great victory. Once he has assessed the Southern Province, we can turn back and attack Yang Beihai. This man has a different surname but inherited the title of king. We in the Great Qin treat him well."
Who knew that he would be such a traitor? It's true that Xuanbei slaves are impossible to tame."
This person is obviously a scholar. He speaks in an elegant manner and has quite some knowledge.
Normally, he would not talk to these civilians and soldiers, but at this moment he seemed to have forgotten the differences between them.
They all have only one identity, that is, they are people of the Great Qin.
As for the Yang Beihai he mentioned.
He was Yang Hongji, the King of Beihai, the only one in the north during the Rebellion of the Seven Kings.
This person is also a rare king of a different surname in the Great Qin, and he also has Xuanbei bloodline.
When the Qin Dynasty was at war with the Huns, this man's ancestors chose to stand on the side of the Qin Dynasty, and were therefore named the king of a foreign race. Over the years, even his people have been living in the north, guarding the border for the Qin Dynasty.
This is not uncommon in Daqin.
After all, the territory of the Qin Dynasty is vast. If all the border soldiers are Qin people, not only will the population of the Qin Dynasty have difficulty in bearing the burden, but the food and salary will also not be able to keep up.
Therefore, most of the Qin border soldiers were foreigners.
According to brief statistics, the ratio of Qin soldiers to foreign soldiers among the border troops was as high as fifteen to one, which means that one Qin soldier had to command at least fifteen foreign soldiers.
However, at least in these places, Qin people were the generals and foreigners were the soldiers.
But the King of the North Sea is an exception.
He himself also has foreign ancestry.
This shows that the Qin Dynasty really trusted this foreign prince who had been guarding the border for generations.
But this time the Rebellion of the Seven Kings actually started from him.
Although he is not strictly speaking in the same group as the others.
But at least from the timeline, he was the first to raise the banner of serving the king.
But for some unknown reason, after expelling the Qin officials stationed in Beihai County, this person actually stayed in Beihai County without moving, and did not even take a single step out of Beihai County.
It seems that his so-called loyalty to the king or rebellion was not so much about becoming the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, but about restoring the status of his ancestors and continuing to be a free Hu person.
Anyway, the people in the capital city cannot understand this weird behavior.
Isn’t it good to be a Qin person?
He had to degenerate into depravity and become a traitor and associate with those barbarians.
"I really want to see his head being sent back to the capital."
Someone sneered.
The palace guard smiled and said, "We will see. Your Majesty, with your civil and military power, it won't be long before the Qin Empire regains its peace and prosperity. Then the barbarians will know what will happen if they offend the Qin Empire."
As if in response to his words, almost as he finished speaking, the eunuch's voice was heard from inside the palace, so sharp that it pierced the sky.
"Great Victory at Songshui!
With the help of the native camp of Dahuang County, Taiwei Nancang defeated the 500,000-strong coalition army of the Pseudo King of Qi, Pseudo King of Chu, Pseudo King of Jin, Pseudo King of Guangyi, Pseudo King of Wu, and Pseudo King of Zhongxiang on the banks of Songshui River, and captured countless heads!
Afterwards, Taiwei Nan Cang personally led a large army in pursuit, and the false kings fled in panic for thousands of miles. Taiwei Nan captured seven cities in one day!
The fake King Zhongxiang and the fake King Jin were executed.
Big victory~! "
Everyone held their breath and listened attentively to the eunuch's sharp voice.
There was no sound inside or outside the Forbidden City.
It was not until the eunuch sang the last word "great victory" in a dragging tune that mountain-like cheers rang out outside the Forbidden City, and quickly spread to every corner of the capital at a lightning speed.
All the people were spreading the news of the great victory.
At this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky.
A heavy rain came suddenly.
The smiles on the faces of the people in the capital couldn't help but become more full.
No one thought that it was just God crying for the two fake kings who were killed.
In everyone's eyes, this was God's reward to the Qin Dynasty for defeating the rebels.
The last rain didn’t last through, but this time it finally made up for it.
Although it was still late, too late.
But something is better than nothing.
From this we can see that the Great Qin is still destined by heaven.
The emperor had just obtained the legendary treasure of Emperor Yu when General Nan defeated the rebel army on the bank of some river.
Then God made up for the rain that had not fallen thoroughly before.
If this isn't destiny, then what is?
There was even a rumor that began to spread among the people that the previous severe drought was caused by treacherous ministers like Cui Cen and rebels like the King of Qi.
There are evil spirits in the country, so disasters come from heaven.
This statement was quickly recognized by the people in Beijing.
After all, these two real facts are right in front of us. Can you say it is fake?
In fact, such news was naturally leaked by Liu Muzhi and others who took the opportunity to spread it.
But in a sense, they did hit the mark unexpectedly, except that the cause and effect were a little reversed.
Even they didn't know that it was precisely because of such a great victory that the people of the capital were once again united and Zhao Xin's buff was strengthened again.
But not everyone is so happy about this.
At least some people in the aristocratic family were not so happy.
