Chapter 1197 Punishing Shangjun, the Situation of the Arrival of Practitioners

"Report to Your Majesty, although our army caused nearly three million losses to the coalition forces in this battle."

"But there are more than 280,000 soldiers and generals who have lost their own troops. It can be said that it has set the highest casualty record since the empire invaded the Great Thousand World."

"I am ashamed of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, ashamed of Your Majesty Long En, and please punish Your Majesty."

The northern boundary of Tianluo Continent, Daluo Tianyu, in the Qin Army military base.

The expeditionary army sergeant who had returned to the military base was kneeling on one knee and said to Ying Ji.

With a sincere tone and a sincere attitude, I hope His Majesty the Emperor can punish himself.

Although the Qin army caused nearly 3 million losses to the coalition forces in this raid, it can be said to be quite fruitful.

However, the Qin army's own loss of hundreds of thousands is also a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

The total loss is nearly 300,000, which is equivalent to the loss of two to four Middle Thousand Worlds, setting the highest casualty record since the empire invaded Daqian World. This is undoubtedly a shame for Shang Yang.

And Shang Yang is not the kind of person who is complacent or even arrogant when he gets a little credit.

In the view of Shang Yang, who advocated the legalist concept, gong is gong, and delinquency is delinquency.

No matter how great one's credit is, as long as there is a little fault, the merits and demerits cannot be equalized.

Shang Yang thought about it, even though he who had caused such a consequence would not die, he still had to be punished.

It doesn't matter if he is dismissed from office and won the title, in short, there must be punishment, otherwise Shang Yang will feel uneasy.

...

"You, you, I don't even know what to say."

Looking at Shang Yang's resolute attitude, Ying Ji smiled bitterly.

Although what happened in front of him was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

Ying Ji knew about Shang Yang's character.

It is no exaggeration to say that Shang Yang is a master of Legalism who promotes Legalism to the extreme, and he will not waver at all about what he believes.

In Shang Yang's view, if there is an attack, it must be rewarded, and if there is a breach, it must be punished.

The two are clear and distinct, not ambiguous.

Although the fault can be offset to a certain extent when the credit is extremely large, it can never be completely offset.

If I don't punish Shang Yang, I'm afraid that Shang Yang will continue to be uneasy.

Thinking of this, Ying Ji made a decision.

"Shang Yang, the king of Shang, caused heavy casualties in the army because he underestimated the enemy in the war."

"Although the victories have been fruitful, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. The following punishments are specially made."

"First, from today onwards, the position of Grand Military Advisor of Shang Yang's Daqianmenian Expeditionary Army will be removed, and the position will be replaced by the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Sun Wuji."

Second, a fine of ten years' salary, and all ten years' salary will be charged into the army for military expenses. "

"Thirdly, within 100 days of confinement, Shang Yang was not allowed to step out of the place where he was active."

"These three articles are punishments for you. If you disobey, you will be punished by military law."

Looking at Shang Yang who was half-kneeling on the ground, Ying Ji also punished Shang Yang.

There are three articles in total. The first is to remove Shang Yang from the position of the great military advisor and replace it with the minister of the cabinet, Sun Wuji.

After careful observation, it can be found that except for the first one, which is relatively heavy, the other two are at the level of no pain or itching.

But this also just shows that the punishment Ying Ji gave Shang Yang was only symbolic.

The first is to show the punishment to Shang Yang, let Shang Yang know that he has been punished and not to think about it in the future.

The second is to punish the officers and men of the three armies, so that the officers and men of the three armies know that even a high-ranking official of the empire, such as the Shangjun, will inevitably be punished after committing a mistake, so as to reiterate the military law.

Killing two birds with one stone, all parties are satisfied, it can be said to be a very good result.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing the words of His Majesty the Emperor, Shang Yang bowed down and said that he had no objection to the three punishments of His Majesty the Emperor.

From Shang Yang's point of view, His Majesty the Emperor has been extraordinarily gracious.

"Okay, let's go down."

"I've been imprisoned for 100 days, so I can reflect on it. I don't want anything like this to happen again."

Looking at Shang Yang who was lying on the ground, Ying Ji waved his hand and said.

Shang Yang also got up slowly, and then withdrew from the core of the military base.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't punish Shang Jun."

"The Great Thousand World is not the Middle Thousand World that the empire has encountered in the past, and the background is not as simple as it seems. The elite army has the strength to compete head-on with the imperial title-level army."

"Concrete analysis of specific problems, special consideration for special circumstances."

"Although Shang Jun has set the highest casualty record since the empire invaded the Great Thousand Worlds, what Shang Jun accomplished was less than three million soldiers who raided the 15 million coalition army."

"With a force comparison of almost one to five, Shang Jun can still cost the coalition nearly three million people with one-tenth casualties."

"Not only did it cause certain losses to the coalition forces, but it also found out that the coalition forces' combat strength was true and false, which can be said to be a great achievement."

"With such a feat, if you change the name of other famous imperial officials, you may not be able to do better than Shangjun in the future, at least the ministers can't do this."

Just after Shang Yang left for a while, I saw a young man wearing a Hua Guan with an extraordinary temperament who came here, and it was Zhang Yi, Wuxin Jun of the Great Qin.

"Hey, Zhang Zi, you are also a veteran of the empire, and you know Shang Jun."

"Although Shangjun is a sage who has ruled the world through the ages, he has a broad vision and an open heart, but he is extremely stubborn in his philosophy."

"If you don't impose punishment, Shang Jun will feel uneasy in his heart. This is also a helpless move!"

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Ying Ji said with a wry smile, her words were full of helplessness.

Zhang Yi, who has worked with him for a long time, is also familiar with Shang Shang's character, so Zhang Yi instantly understood the cause and effect after hearing His Majesty's words.

Mostly it was Shang Yang's comparison in this matter, and he had to be punished, otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor, who trusted Shang Yang so much, would not have given him an order to dismiss Shang Yang from his post as a military advisor.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi also understood the helplessness of His Majesty the Emperor.

...

"By the way, so far, how has the power of three billion practitioners come?"

At this moment, Ying Ji said to Zhang Yi and asked him about the arrival of three billion practitioners.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, as of now, more than half of the three billion practitioners' power has been completed."

"There will be at most one month before the cultivator's power will come to an end."

"At that time, when all the combat power is reached, the army can launch a decisive battle against the Great Thousand World at any time."

Zhang Yi replied.

More than half of the cultivators' power has already arrived, and the remaining cultivators' power can all arrive within a month at most.

Hearing this answer, Ying Ji nodded, overall he was quite satisfied.

Although today's Qin army seems to be in a corner, cautious and unusual, but in fact it is consolidating its foundation and standing in an invincible position.

Waiting for the day when all the due battle forces arrive, that is when Ying Ji closes the net.
