Chapter 658 The Cruel Peacock King
When he thought of the option of surrender, the Peacock King also sighed, because at this time he had to admit that if he chose to surrender at this moment, it would be the best choice for the Peacock Dynasty.
Although he didn't know why Daqin wanted to attack the Maurya Dynasty at this moment, he knew that if he surrendered to Tianqin.
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 life of the people of Daqin at this moment, but many of them have been to the countries of 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 Daqin .
That kind of life is what they want, and that kind of life is impossible for them to imagine now.
So in fact, what is the best choice is already in front of us.
But the Peacock King is not reconciled, he doesn't want to give away the inheritance left by his ancestors like this, let alone die.
If he surrendered, he, the Peacock King, would surely die.
The Peacock King is brutal and doesn't care about the lives of the people at all. Although surrender is the best choice, he will not choose.
Even if the Maurya Dynasty is destroyed in this battle, he will fight Daqin to the end.
He had endured enough, he gave up a large piece of land, left his original homeland, and came to this remote and barren place.
Even so, Da Qin still didn't let him go. In Peacock King's view, Da Qin was too deceitful, and he didn't want to bear it anymore.
So in the end, the Peacock King made a decision to fight Da Qin to the death.
The order of the Peacock King spread throughout the territory of the Maurya Dynasty. If you want to fight, you must conscription.
Only this time, his orders didn't seem to be so effective.
Because most of the common people doubted it immediately after hearing this order.
What do we use to fight Daqin?
In this way, after the Peacock King's order was issued, the entire Peacock Dynasty boiled up.
The people did not expect that at this time, the Peacock King would still want to fight Da Qin.
They couldn't figure it out at all, why would the Peacock King have such an unrealistic idea?
Are the previous lessons not enough?
If the Peacock Dynasty is really the opponent of Daqin, then why was it driven to this place where no shit?
If the Peacock Dynasty could really wrestle with Daqin, it would not have failed back then.
Before the real full-scale war with the Great Qin, the life of the Peacock Dynasty can be said to be many times better than it is now. The soldiers are strong and strong, and the soldiers also have the confidence to fight, and they are even more powerful.
But even under such circumstances, facing the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, they had no choice but to flee for their lives.
In other words, although many years have passed, the strength of the Maurya Dynasty is not as strong as it was 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 not an exaggeration at all. Many people in the Maurya Dynasty now have a big problem with food and clothing.
Under such circumstances, why does the Peacock King think that the current Peacock Dynasty can fight Daqin?
Such an idea has become the consensus of most people in the Maurya Dynasty.
They didn't know that Daqin had already started to send troops, and according to their thinking, they didn't know why Daqin would attack them at this time.
But this does not affect their thinking. Even if what the Peacock King said is true, they will not support the Peacock King against Daqin.
At this moment, the people of the Peacock Dynasty have no intention of fighting at all. If what the Peacock King said is true and Daqin really wants to send troops over, then their idea is to surrender.
With Daqin's current status and prestige, if the Maurya Dynasty surrendered in an all-round way, it would definitely not be driven to extinction.
Therefore, surrender is not harmful to the people of the Maurya Dynasty.
On the contrary, because they surrendered and became a part of Daqin, their lives would get better.
This is also what the Peacock King couldn't figure out. With Daqin's current state of affairs, attacking the Peacock Dynasty would be of no benefit to Daqin at all.
But why are they still sending troops?
The public opinion of the Peacock Dynasty has long been unstoppable, and many people have begun to protest against the order of the Maurya King.
So much so that the conscription plan was seriously hindered.
The reason why such a situation occurs is actually not only because the people have no obstacles.
Even the soldiers who carried out the order of the Peacock King were hesitant in their hearts.
It's just because of the responsibility, so I have to bite the bullet and execute it.
But the efficiency of the tasks that are forced to perform in this way will naturally not be high, and all soldiers have to mix and mix.
If they encounter obstacles and where resistance is particularly severe, they will not enforce it.
Report the obstacles encountered directly to the Shangguan, and their Shangguan does not fully support the Peacock King.
So after delays one after another, the conscription of the Peacock King directly became a joke.
Such a country is doomed to fail if the top and bottom are not at the same level.
In this regard, the Peacock King was furious and questioned the non-commissioned officers under him, but the officials under him also behaved innocently.
They reported directly that the people would rather die than join the army.
What should we do in such a situation, do we really kill them?
At this moment, the Peacock King was furious and yelled loudly, "Who dares not obey? Then kill, if one person does not obey, kill the whole family, if one family does not obey, kill the whole village, if one village does not obey, kill the whole town."
As soon as the Peacock King said this, all the ministers fell into silence.
Although they didn't object to Peacock King's words explicitly, but at this moment, they already had a certain degree of contempt for him in their hearts.
One of the ministers stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you continue to kill like this, [-]% of the males will be killed. At that time, let alone conscription, I am afraid that few living people will be found. kill?"
After hearing these words, the Peacock King became even more angry. He directly pulled 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 questioning is directly persecuting him. Does this kind of question need to be answered?
Eighty percent of the males have been killed, so what's the point of conscription.
It's just that Peacock King's move made his subordinates completely chilled.
