Chapter 658 The Cruel Peacock King
When he thought of the option of surrender, the Mauryan King also sighed, because at this time he had to admit that surrendering at this moment would be the best choice for the Maurya Dynasty.
Although he didn't know why Great Qin wanted to send troops to the Maurya Dynasty at this moment, he knew that if he surrendered to Tian Qin.
The people under his rule may also live the same life as the countries in the Western Regions.
The people of the Maurya Dynasty rarely have the opportunity to see the lives of the people of the Qin Dynasty at this moment, but many of them have been to the countries in the Western Regions, and many of them have seen how the lives of the countries in the Western Regions have changed after the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Qin Dynasty.
.
That kind of life is what they want, and that kind of life is simply impossible for them to imagine now.
So in fact, the best choice is already in front of you.
But the Mauryan King was unwilling to give up. He didn't want to give away the inheritance left by his ancestors, let alone die.
If he surrenders, he, the Mauryan King, will definitely die.
The Mauryan King is inherently cruel and doesn't care about the life and death of his people. Although surrender is the best option, he doesn't choose it.
Even if the Maurya Dynasty was destroyed in this battle, he would still fight against Da Qin to the end.
He has been tolerant enough, giving up a large area of land, leaving his original home, and coming to this remote and desolate place.
Even so, Da Qin still refused to let him go. From the Peacock King's point of view, Da Qin had bullied others too much, and he didn't want to endure it anymore.
So in the end, the Peacock King made the decision to fight to the death with Da Qin.
The Mauryan King's order spread throughout the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty. If you want to go to war, you must recruit troops.
Only this time, his order didn't seem to be so effective.
Because most people immediately had doubts after hearing this order.
What should we use to fight Da Qin?
In this way, after the Mauryan King's order was issued, the entire Mauryan Dynasty became excited.
The people did not expect that at this time, the Peacock King would still want to fight against the Qin Dynasty.
They simply couldn't figure out why Maurya would have such unrealistic ideas?
Are the previous lessons not enough?
If the Maurya Dynasty was really the opponent of Great Qin, then why was it driven to this place where birds don't shit?
If the Maurya Dynasty could really compete with Da Qin, it would not have failed that year.
Back then, before the real all-out war with the Qin Dynasty, the Maurya Dynasty's life was many times better than it is now. The troops were strong, the horses and horses were strong, the soldiers were confident in fighting, and they even had powerful elephant soldiers.
But even in that situation, facing the Great Qin Cavalry, they had no choice but to run for their lives.
In other words, although many years have passed, the strength of the Maurya Dynasty is not as strong as it was back then, and it has not recovered at all.
After the defeat, what kind of life did the people of the Maurya Dynasty live in these years?
It is no exaggeration at all. For many people in the Mauryan Dynasty, even food and clothing are still a big problem.
Under such circumstances, why does the Mauryan King think that the current Mauryan Dynasty can fight against the Qin Dynasty?
This idea has become the consensus of most people in the Maurya Dynasty.
They had no idea that Great Qin had begun to send troops. According to their thinking, they had no idea why Great Qin would attack them at this time.
But this does not affect their thinking. Even if what the Mauryan King said is true, they will not support the Mauryan King against Da Qin.
At this moment, the people of the Maurya Dynasty have no fighting spirit in their hearts. If what the Maurya King said is true and Great Qin really wants to send troops, then their idea is to surrender.
With the current status and prestige of Great Qin, if the Maurya Dynasty surrendered completely, they would definitely not be driven out and exterminated.
Therefore, surrendering would have no harm at all to the people of the Maurya Dynasty.
On the contrary, because they surrendered and became part of Da Qin, their lives would get better.
This is what the Maurya King couldn't figure out. With the current grand situation of the Qin Dynasty, attacking the Maurya Dynasty would not benefit the Qin Dynasty at all.
But why do they still send troops?
Public opinion in the Mauryan Dynasty could no longer be suppressed, and many people began to protest against the Mauryan King's orders.
So much so that the conscription plan was seriously hindered.
The reason why such a situation occurs is not just because the people have no obstacles.
Even the soldiers who carried out Maurya King's orders were hesitant in their hearts.
It's just that because it's my duty, I have to bite the bullet and carry it out.
But the efficiency of such a forced mission will naturally not be high, and all the soldiers will have to muddle along.
If they encounter obstacles or particularly serious resistance, they will not enforce it.
They directly reported the obstacles they encountered to their superiors, and their superiors did not fully support the Mauryan King.
So after delaying the process step by step, Maurya's conscription directly became a joke.
There is no unity at all. Such a country is doomed to fail.
In response to this, the Mauryan King became furious and questioned his non-commissioned officers, but all of his officers also acted innocently.
They reported directly that the people would rather die than join the army.
What should we do in such a situation? Should we really kill them?
At this moment, the Maurya King was in a rage and shouted angrily, "Who dares to disobey? Then kill him. If one person disobeys, the whole family will be killed. If one family disobeys, the whole village will be killed. If one village disobeys, the whole town will be killed."ъìQυGΕtV.℃ǒΜ
As soon as the Maurya King said this, all the ministers fell into silence.
Although they did not express any objection to Maurya King, at this time, they already had a certain contempt for him in their hearts.
One of the ministers stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you continue to kill like this, 80% of the men will be killed. By then, not to mention conscription, I am afraid there will not be a few left alive, so it will be difficult to do so."
Kill?"
After the Maurya King heard this, he became even more angry. He drew out his scimitar, swung it down, and killed the minister who dared to question him on the spot.
Because in his opinion, the minister's question directly forced him. Does this kind of question need to be answered?
If 80% of the male population has been killed, why should we recruit troops?
