Step by step, Ying Zheng walked up to the high platform and stood before all the surrendered soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom.
He looked down.
It was as if all the surrendered soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom had fallen into Ying Zheng's eyes.
"This kid is indeed worthy of being a hot shot. He's the future ruler of the six countries. He's not afraid of tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers. He didn't disappoint me.”
Looking at Ying Zheng who was standing on the high platform, somewhere in the camp, Ying Qi revealed a gratified look.
As his most valued junior, Ying Zheng obviously did not disappoint him at this moment.
If Ying Zheng could subdue the hearts of these 60,000 surrendered soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom and lay the foundation for Great Qin to deal with them in the future, Ying Qi would be even more gratified.
"Are you curious why Great Qin sent a small soldier like me into the army camp?”
Looking at the tens of thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him, a faint smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face, and he asked loudly.
Faced with the question.
All the surrendered soldiers were still looking at him in confusion, but they did not say anything. They were just prisoners now.
"Are you thinking about how Great Qin will deal with you? Would he kill all of you like how my Great Qin's Lord Wu 'an dealt with the surrendered soldiers of Zhao?”
Ying Zheng did not show any emotion as he said loudly.
As soon as he said this.
Many of the Zhou Country's surrendered soldiers had fear on their faces.
Even though so many years had passed since Lord Wu An, Baiqi, was still known throughout the world and was revered by everyone.
"Don't worry."
"I came here today to tell you a piece of news and also to pass judgment on you.”
"Great Qin will not kill the innocent or those who surrender.”
"There won't be any more killings.”
Feeling the fearful gazes from many people, Ying Zheng spoke slowly again.
As soon as he said this.
It was obvious.
Many surrendered soldiers heaved a sigh of relief.
"But…"
As soon as Ying Zheng's words left his mouth, the hearts of many Zhou Country's surrendered soldiers trembled.
"Your countries have been destroyed by Great Qin, and from now on, Great Zhou will no longer exist. Similarly, if you want to live, you have to work for Great Qin.”
"Are you all willing?"
Ying Zheng swept his gaze across the surrendered soldiers and asked loudly.
Faced with the question.
All the Zhou Country's surrendered soldiers were stunned.
After a while, there was a sparse response.
"I'm willing to serve Great Qin."
"I'm willing too, just don't kill me.”
"I am willing…"
Many soldiers of the Zhou Country replied weakly. In order to save their lives, they had no other choice.
"I know what you're thinking. After your mother country was destroyed, you still hate Great Qin, but this doesn't stop you from working for Great Qin.”
"All the countries in the world will belong to the world. All the countries in the world will belong to my Yan Huang Country. Your Zhou Country, my Qin Country, and the countries in the east will all belong to my Yan Huang Country.”
"As for Great Qin, it will be the existence that will unify all the countries in the world. When the world is at peace, the people will be able to live and work in peace and will not have to suffer from the pain of war.”
"Of course, this is not the main point today.”
"Today, let me ask you. You fought for the Zhou Country to kill the enemy. Has the Zhou Country ever rewarded you? How much is your annual salary if you die for the Zhou Country? You have sacrificed your lives for Zhou Country. Is Zhou Country sincere in comforting you?”
Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold as he looked at all the surrendered soldiers of Zhou Kingdom and asked.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Almost all the soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom fell silent, but no one answered Ying Zheng's question.
"Tell me, what did Zhou give you to serve Zhou?”Ying Zheng pointed his finger casually, and an ordinary soldier of Zhou Country fell into his eyes.
"I... I..."
The Zhou soldier hesitated, but after struggling for a moment, he still said,"I work for the Great Zhou, and my annual salary is 10 dan.”
"How many years have you served the Zhou Country?"
Ying Zheng asked again.
"I've been in the army for three years." the soldier replied in fear.
"Three years in the army, annual salary of 10 stones.”
Ying Zheng smiled when he heard this figure.
Even though they knew that the salaries of the soldiers of the various countries were not as good as Great Qin's, the difference was simply too great.
"From the looks of it, all of your annual salaries are the same.”
Ying Zheng looked at the soldiers of Zhou below him and swept his gaze across them. All the soldiers of Zhou lowered their heads.
"Then do you know how much salary the soldiers of Great Qin get when they join the army?”
Ying Zheng asked loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Naturally, no one answered.
In the eyes of the various countries, Great Qin was like a tiger or a wolf. If they wanted to be on good terms with Great Qin, they would have to spread Great Qin's benefits and make the people think that Great Qin was like a tiger or a wolf that they could not be close to.
As such, they naturally would not let the commoners know how good Great Qin was.
Locking up the country was probably the reason.
After hearing about Great Qin's strict laws and how they established their countries, many of the residents fled into Great Qin's territory and willingly became Great Qin's subjects.
"Let me tell you."
"The soldiers of Great Qin who have just joined the army have an annual salary of 25 dans. Once they kill an enemy and achieve meritorious deeds, they will obtain a title. Even the lowest official can have an annual salary of 50 dans, which is enough to support their families.”
