Daqin Engineering Corps

After a few horn horns, all the ministries of the Qin army gathered under the city.

Shen Bing and the Artillery Division were among them.

Originally, Shen Bing thought it was Yang Ting who wanted to lecture or had some new arrangements.

But seeing Zhang Xuan and a dozen soldiers of the Qin Army tied up on wooden stakes, he realized that this was not the case.

Shen Bing secretly wondered:

Didn't you just win the battle?

How did Zhang Xuan and his gang get tied up in the blink of an eye?

Looking at Zhang Xuan who was tied up and more than a dozen soldiers, all of them were pale and terrified, as if they knew what mistake they had made.

Just when Shen Bing was wondering, he saw Yang Ting walking up.

She glanced at the group of people who were tied up, and finally locked her eyes on Zhang Xuan, and asked:

"Zhang Xuan, are you convicted?"

Zhang Xuan lowered his head, and replied with shame on his face:

"The subordinate is guilty!"

"As a master of two or five hundred people, the subordinates retreated in front of the battle, and even put the city gates in danger!"

"The subordinates are willing to be punished!"

When Shen Bing heard this, he recalled that there was indeed such a thing.

Zhao Jun's first round of attack was extremely brave, and the Qin army led by Zhang Xuan retreated a few steps.

but……

Isn't it just a few steps back?

Is this going to be tied up and executed?

But soon Shen Bing knew that he had misunderstood.

Yang Ting turned her head and asked a civil official wearing a small crown next to her: "Supervisor, what crime should I blame for retreating before the battle?"

The clerk stepped forward and cupped his hands and replied:

"Report to Captain!"

"Those who retreat before the battle should be punished under the watchful eyes of thousands of people!"

Shen Bing was stunned when he heard that.

It's not that he doesn't understand, Shen Bing, who still has some writing skills, knows that the punishment is to cut his nose.

Although this was much better than the beheading Shen Bing thought before, it was still a bit unimaginable.

But when he thought about it in detail, he felt that this punishment made some sense.

On the battlefield, especially the battlefield with cold weapons, sometimes you can't retreat half a step.

This is not only a matter of losing strategically important places, but also affects the morale of the entire army.

Because people have a herd mentality, if no one flees during the battle, it will be fine.

A few running away or just taking a few steps back could well set off a chain reaction leading to the collapse of the entire army.

Just as he was thinking about it, a group of soldiers stepped forward and drew out their bronze swords to prepare for the prisoners' noses.

All the prisoners were panting heavily, and some of them couldn't stop begging for mercy.

But only that Zhang Xuan still had some ambition, he gritted his teeth and raised his chest, his face was as usual.

Shen Bing couldn't bear it.

He knew that this punishment was actually life worse than death.

Such as difficulty breathing day and night.

Another example is the lack of antibiotics in this era, at least a few of them will die painfully due to wound infection.

Even if someone survived by chance, a face with its nose cut off is a disgrace.

No matter where you go, it doesn't matter how brave you are in future battles or what title you will rise to.

It was a face that would always tell others about the crimes committed by its owner.

Thinking of this, Shen Bing stood up:

"Captain!"

"Although they retreated in front of the battle, they also repelled Zhao Jun at the same time."

"This is the time when our military employs people..."

"Can't they atone for their crimes?"

What Shen Bing said was really wrong, because Qin Lv could indeed atone for his crimes, especially if he stipulated that he could use his title to atone for his sins.

Even the title of title can not only redeem sins, but also redeem people, that is, to redeem relatives who are slaves to be free.

This is also the preciousness of the title, it can do things that are difficult for money and power.

Moreover, ordinary people do it reasonably and legally.

It's no wonder that all the soldiers of the Qin Army fought desperately for it, it was almost equivalent to a privilege.

Yang Ting turned her attention to the supervisor.

The censor replied: "Zhang Xuan can change his title to a tattoo, but other people... are not enough to atone for his crime!"

Shen Bing smiled easily:

"It's simple, just use my title and credit!"

Chapter 24 Contradictions

Shen Bing's move surprised everyone present.

You must know that it is not easy to obtain a title, and each level is obtained in exchange for life on the battlefield.

But Shen Bing easily handed over his title to take the blame for others.

And he still takes the blame for people who don't know each other and can even be regarded as "opponents"...

The other soldiers may not know it, but Yang Ting and Liu Xu know that Zhang Xuan and Shen Bing have resentment against each other.

To be exact, Zhang Xuan resented Shen Bing, because Shen Bing had lost Zhang Xuan's face in front of Yang Ting before.

In addition, Shen Bing's strategy of defending against the enemy was adopted, and Zhang Xuan was immediately placed in a corner and no one cared about him.

Even so, Shen Bing is still willing to speak for Zhang Xuan and even use his title to take the blame for them.

Yang Ting looked at Shen Bing in disbelief, her eyes blurred.

"Ide complained!"

"Such a mind, such a bearing! How can an operator possess it?"

"This child will become a success in the future."

"How can a dragon be trapped in the shallows? How can a tiger fall in Pingyang?"

"One day the dragon will get the water, and the river will be turned upside down and the sea will be turned upside down."

"One day when the tiger returns to the mountain, half the sky will be stained with blood!"

……

In fact, Shen Bing is not that great.

Shen Bing had a "little understanding" of the importance of titles in modern times, but now he "understands a little bit".

He knew that the title of title could lead to promotion and wealth, so that his family would have enough food and clothing, and he could save his life if he violated the law.

This last point is very important.

Because Shen Bing doesn't know the law, at least he doesn't understand the strange and unimaginable modern laws of Qin State.

So breaking the law is common.

What if I have to punish myself next time?

What can I save myself for?

Shen Bing couldn't help touching his nose, thinking of the sword edge cutting from bottom to top...

That sour!

But Shen Bing naturally had his reasons for doing so.

Shen Bing found that the artillery division seemed to be in conflict with the soldiers, even though they were all part of the Qin army.

Right now.

Because before that, it was no problem for the artillery division to be under the command of the Qin army because of its low status.

however……

Since Shen Bing led the artillery division to improve the trebuchet and repel Zhao Jun to turn things around, the situation has changed.

The status of the artillery division rose sharply, and the craftsmen of the whole division demanded to be equal to the soldiers of the Qin Army psychologically and even in behavior.

Not long ago, there was a small conflict when the gang leader divided the meal.

As usual, the artillerymen still only got millet porridge, and only a few officials added another bowl of millet rice.

This is Qin Jun's food standard, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But that was before...

Before he had eaten a few mouthfuls, a craftsman threw the wooden bowl and shouted at the gang leader:

"I don't agree!"

"The Artillery Division retreated Zhao's army to protect the Great Wall. They have made such great contributions but still can't cover their stomachs!"

"If things go on like this, there will be no bright future for artillery masters!"

Someone started, and the rest of the craftsmen followed suit.

Cang lowered his voice proudly and said to Shen Bing: "Brother, it's time to plan!"

Shen Bing was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that it was Cang's tricks.

This is very easy to operate. Find a young and honest craftsman to complain about, and then ask him to make the first bird.

If it succeeds, the artillery division will be able to improve the food, including Cang of course.

If he doesn't succeed, he will punish the early bird, and Cang will not be implicated.

Shen Bing glanced at Cang unexpectedly.

Secretly, this guy can do it!Play dirty tricks on your own people.

Be careful in the future.

If one day he secretly arranged a trick, he would die without knowing what happened.

On the gunner's side, if it's just a few yells like this, that's all.

But I don't want the Qin army next to me to say something disdainfully:

"Credit? What about the head you got? What about the title you got?"

"I'll wait until I'm full to eat and drink before going into battle to kill the enemy, but you can't wait until you're shooting from the rear."

……

This aroused the anger of the gunners even more:

"Don't artillery masters need to go into battle to kill the enemy?"

"Could it be that the gunners have killed fewer enemies?"

"A large number of Zhao Jun died under the stone bullets of the artillery division. Who took the head?"
