After listening to Zheng Ying's words, Yang Yinglong's expression changed.
"What are you trying to say? What else do you want? "
"Nothing, it's just that His Majesty has never trusted any of you."
Zheng Ying waved his hand at the soldiers, signaling them to lock up Yang Yinglong and his son. He wanted to bring them back and present them to His Majesty the Daqin Emperor, to show his bravery and loyalty that he was worthy of the Emperor's trust.
Yang Yinglong didn't know what Zheng Ying wanted to do, nor did he know what Xiao Ruxun wanted to do, but this was indeed beyond his ability.
He knew that he would be sent to Beijing and slaughtered like a pig in the capital of Daqin.
That was an insult he couldn't bear.
But the Daqin army had a million ways to keep him alive. At this point, he couldn't even die.
His right to live was no longer in his own hands.
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that after he died, he could still be husband and wife to Tian Xiufeng, who died for him, in the netherworld.
He felt that he had done a lot of wrong things, and the only right thing was to let Tian Xiufeng be the woman closest to him.
This woman didn't let him down. Although the direct cause of all this was because this woman wanted to be the woman closest to him, she really didn't let him down.
The Yang Family's 724 years of foundation came to an end.
Yang Yinglong and the Yang brothers were tied up like dumplings and carried away. They could be loaded into a carriage at any time to go to the capital of Daqin for a one day trip, the kind where they would never return.
After the Yang family members were carried away, the generals and chieftains arrived one after another. Zheng Ying's headache came.
A group of generals surrounded Zheng Ying, asking for an explanation. Although the chieftains didn't dare to speak, they stood behind them with a wronged look that couldn't be ignored.
Of course, in Zheng Ying's eyes, the most despicable person was Qi Dayong. After this guy got his benefits, he ran away to who knows where to take refuge.
How despicable!
"Zheng Shuai! We are your direct subordinates. Why are you siding with outsiders? "
"That's right, Zheng Shuai, that bastard Qi Dayong is from the Green Dragon Camp, not our Black Turtle Camp! How could you leave such a thing to him? "
"The Azure Dragon Camp has always been by His Majesty's side as his bodyguards. Their equipment and treatment are the best. How can they have the cheek to fight with us for battle achievements?"
"This is too much!"
The general was furious. As the commander-in-chief, Zheng Ying was acting like a bullied wife at this moment.
"Be quiet, all of you! I made this decision after careful consideration. After all, they are guest troops. If we take all the credit and don't give them any benefits, others will think that we, the Black Tortoise Camp, don't give them any soup. If that's the case, who would be willing to fight alongside us in the future?
Everyone has contributed in this battle and has military achievements. Everyone should have a share. We must share the benefits equally and not monopolize them. Monopolizing military achievements is a big taboo. Have you all forgotten His Majesty's repeated teachings? "
Zheng Ying had no choice but to use Xiao Ruxun's edict to pressure these valiant generals. After all, the valiant generals were still loyal to Xiao Ruxun. When they heard this, they could not continue to make a scene even though they were full of resentment. In the end, they could only throw down a harsh sentence — — Zheng Shuai will definitely treat us brothers fairly! Right?
In the face of military achievements, there was no such thing as father and son, let alone superiors and subordinates. The Daqin army's desire for military achievements was no less than the ferocious and wolf-like army of the former Qin …
It was said that the soldiers of the former Daqin army carried the heads of others in their hands and continued to fight. That ferocious and wolf-like spirit was their trump card to pacify the six states.
Now, Zheng Ying could truly understand how the current Emperor mediated the conflicts between the armies of several provinces on the battlefield in Korea. The feeling of not only having to treat everyone equally but also being blamed by one's own people for siding with an outsider was really not a good feeling.
But what could he do?
He had to look further and was willing to be blamed for it.
Otherwise, it would be bad for both him and the Black Tortoise Battalion in the future. Great Qin's army was under Xiao Ruxun, the Iron Hand Ruler, so they couldn't openly oppose her. At least, it wasn't possible for them to do so now, but whether or not they would appear in the future was another matter.
Next, it was time to deal with these bullied chieftains.
Especially Song Seong-eun, who had been fooled. Looking at this fellow's terrified expression, he thought that he was greatly threatened.
Zheng Ying regained the imposing manner of a commander-in-chief and did not overly appease these skeletons in the grave.
"This plan was all thanks to General Song's cooperation. With General Song's cooperation, this plan was a great success and wiped out Yang Yinglong's rebel army in one fell swoop. I will report General Song's contribution to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to bestow you with a title."
Zheng Ying patted Song Seong-eun's shoulder. Song Seong-eun's originally pale complexion recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye after hearing these words. A bright smile blossomed on his face, like a flower bud of the motherland.
"In that case, I will thank Zheng Shuai for your guidance. I will definitely repay you handsomely!"
"Hey, you are treating me like an outsider. We are all on the same side."
Zheng Ying chuckled and patted Song Seong-eun's shoulder, making the other chieftains, especially An Jiangchen, especially dissatisfied.
An Jiangchen knew the inside story and was simply a little unhappy, but the other chieftains were not happy. He was not from Bozhou and had even received praise from the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army. What now? Did he want to meddle in the internal affairs of Bozhou and share the benefits of Bozhou?
Bozhou was the exclusive territory of their five chieftains and seven families. How could they allow outsiders to meddle in it?
Moreover, Zheng Ying's attitude towards them was very casual, which further intensified their thoughts.
"The same goes for the other generals. Everyone has made contributions. I will not forget you and will ask for rewards for you together. Hahaha!"
With such a light sentence, without patting their shoulders or personally appeasing them, he sent them away.
Then, Zheng Ying left an order, "General Song, stay. The rest of you can go down the mountain to rest and reorganize and wait for further orders. Before the orders come, you are not allowed to mobilize." Then he let them leave.
He also did not mention how to share the benefits.
Putting this aside for the time being, there would definitely be an explanation later. But, what did he mean by leaving Song Seong-eun alone? What benefits would this guy, Song Seong-eun, get? How much trust did he get from the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army? What did he do?
Everyone bled and sacrificed together. Why did only Song Seong-eun get such special treatment? What did this guy do behind everyone's back?
Not only did the chieftains of the five chieftains and seven families feel dissatisfied, but An Jiangchen also narrowed his eyes and began to suspect whether the contents of Song Seong-eun's communication with him were also under Zheng Ying's instructions.
Had Song Seong-eun already taken the initiative to fully rely on the Daqin imperial court?
Had he already seized an important opportunity in the reshuffling and redistribution of the cards?
Bozhou was rich in resources and resources. Of course, An Jiangchen also coveted it. Even if he could not get any gold, silver, or treasures, it was an extremely exciting thing to get a piece of land. This was the biggest reason why he led ten thousand soldiers to assist the Qin Army in the battle.
Who would do something that had no benefits?
Throughout history, who in the Central Dynasty did not pretend to be fat at their own cost?
