The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Ying Chang took the memorial from Yang Ze and unfolded it to read. While Ying Chang was viewing it, Yang Ze continued to say, "Your Majesty, the pension for the fallen soldiers is 2205 million taels of silver, and the cost of military exploits is 110 million." Two taels of silver, a total of 3305 million taels of silver, if His Majesty thinks there is no problem, you can ask the Ministry of Households to transfer the money to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will immediately issue pensions and rewards for military exploits!"

"I have no problem, you will pass on my oral order later to order the Ministry of Accounts to transfer funds!"

Chapter 306 Indestructible Xiongnu and Qiang, how to unify Kyushu with a single gamble!

Fadao reminds you: ask for collection () after reading, and it is more convenient to read again.

Ying Chang calmly put away the memorial, put the memorial on the imperial table, and handed a cup of tea to Yang Ze himself. Yang Ze quickly stood up and took the cup respectfully, then sat down gently,

Yang Ze picked up the teacup and blew the hot air gently, raised his hand to cover his mouth with his sleeve, took a mouthful of mouth, then put down the hand that covered his mouth, and said with admiration: "The tea made by Your Majesty is just different, delicious!"

"Drink more if it tastes good. When you go back, you can also bring some tea back. Tea is precious to me!" Ying Chang said with a gentle smile on his face.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Ze thanked you with a smile, then suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Speak!" Ying Chang also picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea.

"The Ministry of Ordnance has produced 12 fish-scale armor, 18 horse spears, 21 ring-shoulders, 180 dragon shields, 180 short crossbows, [-] eight-stone crossbows, and [-] short arrows for short crossbows. Ten thousand arrows, [-] million feathered arrows, [-] iron arrows, [-] crossbow carts with ten arrows, [-] catapult carts, [-] kerosene carts, and [-] ladder carts!"

"Your Majesty said earlier that the Great Wall camp should be given priority. Now there are only 100 cavalry in the Great Wall camp, and there are just [-] sets of fish scale armor in the Hyogo, so I have already ordered [-] sets of cavalry equipment plus [-] million short arrows. Ship it to the Great Wall Camp, and it is expected to arrive within a month!"

"Without 12 sets of cavalry equipment, there are still 21 horse spears, 80 ring-shoulders, 180 dragon shields, [-] short crossbows, [-] eight-stone crossbows, and [-] short arrows in the arsenal. [-] million feather arrows, [-] iron arrows, [-] crossbow carts, [-] catapult carts, [-] kerosene carts, and [-] ladder carts!"

"Now the Great Wall camp has given priority to the supply, and the next one is Xiguan!" Yang Ze seemed to memorize the number of these weapons, and he spoke very fluently, as if he was reading the content.

"Very well, the [-] elite cavalry in the Great Wall camp can all be equipped with new equipment. I am completely relieved of the safety of the Great Wall, and I will no longer be afraid of the Huns' prowling!" Ying Chang said with a smile on his face.

With the short crossbow, the advantages of the Huns and the Qiang became the advantages of the Great Qin. The Huns and the Qiang had no advantage, so how could they fight against the Great Qin? It can be said that after being equipped with new weapons, the Great Qin had already won half of the battle before fighting them.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do. Just now, in the name of the Ministry of War, I ordered the commanders of the Wujinguan, Yangguan, Jingshi, Nanguan, and Xiguan battalions to upload a detailed report on the types of arms, asking them to report the number of arms under their command to the Ministry of War. The reason for this is to make it easier for the Ministry of War to supply new weapons to the battalions, and besides that, it will also allow the imperial court to know more about the situation of the troops in each pass, which will help the imperial court dispatch troops and horses!" Yang Ze edited the report with a respectful expression.

Ying Chang nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "You have done a good job, Tang Hua, go to the House of Internal Affairs to get a hundred taels of silver, and let Yang Aiqing improve her life!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Ze hurriedly got up and bowed down to express his thanks.

He lacks nothing but money, and this 100 taels can at least allow him to live a comfortable and good life.

"Xiaowei, go get it!"

Tang Hua entrusted this task to her confidant Xiaowei, who nodded in agreement, and quickly retreated to the attic to get the money.

Yang Ze sat back on the stone bench again, picked up the teacup on the stone table and took a few sips to quench his thirst, then put down the teacup, glanced at Tang Hua standing next to Yingchang, and then said: "Can Manager Tang avoid it for a while?"

Tang Hua was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Ying Chang, only to see Ying Chang nodded. Seeing this, Tang Hua retreated with the rest of the court ladies, and gave the attic to the duo.

"Yang Aiqing, is it important to avoid others?" Ying Chang looked at Yang Ze curiously and asked.

It's not once or twice to talk to Yang Ze, but this is the first time that Yang Ze dismisses other people to talk with Ying Chang, which makes Ying Chang feel curious, what kind of military incident happened to make Yang Ze dismiss others .

"Your Majesty, I want to find out from you, why are you planning to send troops to destroy Jin?" Yang Ze cut to the chase and got straight to the point.

Hearing this, Ying Chang finally understood why Yang Ze dismissed Tang Hua. It turned out that he was asking this question, and asking such a question really required dismissing others to prevent the news from leaking.

"At present, I don't know when I will send troops to destroy Jin, but in five or even ten years, the Great Qin will not use troops against the Jin Empire. I plan to destroy the Qiang and Huns first. I can't sleep if I don't destroy these two neighbors. , and have no intention of destroying Jin!" Ying Chang replied indifferently

"Ah? Destroy the Xiongnu and Qiang people first?" Yang Ze was stunned for a while, he didn't expect to get this answer, he thought that after only two years, Da Qin would send troops to destroy Jin.

"That's right, the Xiongnu and the Qiang must be exterminated. If these two tribes are not exterminated, our Daqin will not be able to protect the rear, and our Daqin will not be able to let go and fight with all our strength!" After Ying Chang finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and took a sip of incense. Tea moistens the throat.

Yang Ze took a deep look at Ying Chang, and said in a meaningful tone: "Hearing your majesty's tone, I guess it's not just about destroying the Jin Empire, right?"

With the current strength of the Great Qin Empire, there is no need to go all out to destroy a Jin Empire. Sending an army of [-] can wipe out the Jin Empire. However, Ying Chang said that he will give it a go. This must have a bigger plan and goal. The Great Qin Empire can only win by giving it a go!

Yingchang put down his teacup, got up from the stone bench without saying a word, and walked slowly to the attic. The wind at the attic was extra strong, blowing Yingchang's hair falling down his shoulders. Yang Ze saw Yingchang walked to the attic At the same time, he quickly got up from the stone bench, walked behind Ying Chang and looked at Ying Chang's profile, wanting to hear what Ying Chang meant.

Ying Chang's sharp black eyes were looking at the south, the breeze was blowing through his hair, and his whole body exuded the momentum of engulfing mountains and rivers, "The Great Qin is not the Great Qin of four years ago, nor is the Great Jin of four years ago. If I destroy Jin, It's so easy, why bother to go all out, and why waste effort to destroy the Qiang and Huns!"

"The reason why I am so keen on destroying the Huns and the Qiangs is that I want to destroy all the empires in Kyushu, complete the unification of the world that has shocked the past and present, and lead the Great Qin to become the first supreme empire that unified the land of Kyushu in ancient and modern times. The most dazzling emperor in the world!"

"Now, do you know why I set my sights on the Qiang and the Huns? If they are immortal, how can our Great Qin free up both hands and feet to destroy the nations of Kyushu?"

Chapter 307 Emperor Qi's troubles!

"Your Majesty is actually preparing for the unification of Kyushu!" Yang Ze said with an incredulous look on his face.

Although Ying Chang had said many times that he wanted the world to be united in front of all the officials, these courtiers believed that Ying Chang was just setting goals for himself. Unexpectedly, His Majesty, who was only 16 years old, had already started to act.

Yingchang turned his head expressionlessly, looked into Yang Ze's eyes with deep meaning and said, "Since the day I regained the imperial power, I have been preparing for the great cause of unification, Yang Aiqing, do you believe me? Do you believe that I can fight to the extreme south, to the imperial capital of Zhongtian?"

thump!With a sound, Yang Ze knelt down on his knees with a look of excitement, and wrote with tears in his eyes: "I can assist your majesty, because my ancestors have accumulated great virtues. Your majesty, I believe, I believe that your majesty will be able to lead the Great Qin Iron Cavalry Break into the Zhongtian Imperial Capital and complete the great cause of the ages!"

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Yang Ze kowtowed three times in a row, bleeding from his forehead.

Originally Yingchang was in Yang Ze's mind, a hero who could lead Daqin to become a powerful country in Kyushu. He never thought that Yingchang could lead Daqin to become the first empire in history to unify Kyushu. in this way.

Because this is too difficult, Kyushu has been in chaos for a thousand years, and there have been countless heroic emperors in the millennium, but none of them can unify Kyushu.

But now, Yang Ze wants to re-acquaint himself with the great emperor in front of him who has the ambition to unify the world!

"Get up!" Ying Chang bent down and stretched out his hands to support Yang Ze, then grabbed Yang Ze's hands and said, "You said that you can help me because your ancestors have accumulated great virtues, but for you, there is Chang Zifei." , Jia Luo, Lei Tong, Bai Qi, Du Changjing, and the Yang brothers, how could it be that the ancestors of the Qin family have accumulated great virtues, so that I can gather all capable ministers and generals under my command!"

"Your Majesty!" Yang Ze was so moved that he shed tears, he couldn't use other words to express his admiration for Ying Chang!

"Okay, stop talking, continue to drink tea, haha!" Ying Chang smiled sarcasticly, walked back to the stone table, and sat on the stone bench again. However, after Yang Ze wiped away his tears, he did not sit down, but asked Ying Chang He raised his hand to salute, "The Ministry of War still has a lot of official duties, so I will leave!"

The more ambitious Ying Chang is, the more he, as a courtier, has to work harder!

"Then let's go!" Ying Chang nodded calmly, and the latter immediately retreated and left.

After Yang Ze left, Tang Hua, the head of the imperial palace, came up, and before Tang Hua could speak, Ying Chang said, "Let Xiaowei send the silver directly to Yang's residence!"

"Obey!" Tang Hua replied with a respectful expression.

Next, Ying Chang looked at the sky without saying a word, and fell into deep thought, no one knew what he was thinking...

.....

The first thing Yang Ze did when he came out of the palace was to go straight to the Yamen of the Household Department to deliver Yingchang's oral order. The Household Minister Jia Luo ordered the Household Department officials to transfer 3305 million taels of silver without saying a word. At the same time, 70 Jin women's dowry It was also transferred out, a total of [-] taels of silver, plus pensions and rewards for military exploits, the household department drew out [-] taels of silver at once.

There are still 850 million shi of grain left in the treasury, 55 taels of gold, and 5000, 45 million taels of silver.

Daqin’s annual fiscal revenue is not 400 million taels, and a half-year foreign war consumes 400 million taels of silver, not counting other expenses. This half-year war alone has caused the Qin Empire’s fiscal deficit. It is precisely because of this that it wastes money and people. this phrase.

But fortunately, the treasury of the Great Qin Empire was well-stocked, so this amount of money was nothing.

The Great Qi Empire, the imperial capital Chancheng, the Imperial Palace, and the Cangshu Pavilion!

In his rare years, Qi Didong was wearing a golden dragon robe and sitting on a golden dragon chair, holding a memorial in his old and withered hands, narrowing his eyes to carefully read the contents of the memorial, behind the dragon chair, Two maids standing there were pressing his back and shoulders, and the old eunuch Li Min also stood respectfully beside him.

After about half a stick of incense, Qi Didong finally finished reading the memorial. After reading it, he folded it up and gently placed it on the imperial case. At the same time, he gave Li Min a look, and Li Min nodded understandingly. , and then softly said to the court ladies and eunuchs serving in the palace: "You all go down for now."

"Yes!"

All the court ladies and eunuchs responded with salutes one after another, and soon withdrew from Zangshu Pavilion.

After everyone had left and only Li Min was left alone, Qi Didong sighed softly, with a look of sadness on his face, looking at the sky outside the hall with his vicissitudes of eyes, he muttered to himself: "I am getting more and more powerless. ..”

Qi Didong really felt that he was old, he was really old, and it would take half a stick of incense to read just one memorial.

Li Min bent over, not daring to answer.

"You said, which prince should I choose to inherit the throne?" Qi Didong asked softly.

An emperor actually asked an eunuch this question, which shows how much he trusts Li Min.

"Slaves don't know!" Li Min intelligently replied softly.

"You don't know, or don't you dare?" Qi Didong cast a glance at Li Min, causing the latter to quickly lower his head and reply: "I don't dare, but I don't know!"

Although he was Qi Didong's most trusted person, he didn't dare to say a word on this matter.

"Ah~"

Qi Didong let out a long sigh, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the dragon chair, and said to himself at the same time: "Boss is moderate, has no opinions, and is too easy to be manipulated by ministers. It's so easy!"

"The second child has his own opinions, but he doesn't like imperial power. He spends all day drinking and chatting with some literati, and has no interest in state affairs. The third child also has his own opinions, but he has a rigid temper. not coming back!"

"The fourth child likes to play chess, just like the second child. He never cares about political affairs when playing chess games. The fifth child is arrogant and extravagant, let alone the sixth child. He is obsessed with gambling. He loses eight out of ten games. The maid around me is sold, and it is even more useless!"

"What's wrong with me? I don't even have a prince who can be a great man. But if I have a son who can be a great man, I won't be so tired. It's been a few days since I was still reviewing memorials. Among the six sons, only There are three bosses who can choose!"

Since he hadn't chosen a crown prince before, Qi Didong was annoyed by the establishment of a crown prince recently. The reason for the trouble was that there was no suitable crown prince, and his sons were more exotic than each other.

tread... tread...

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and an eunuch walked in cautiously. The eunuch stopped five steps before the imperial case, and then bent down to make a salute and report: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister Your Excellency is waiting outside the palace to see His Majesty!"

"Let him in!" Qi Didong whispered softly.

PS: "Ask for a full order, ask for a monthly pass!"

Fadao reminds you: ask for collection () after reading, and it is more convenient to read again.

Chapter 308 Qi Jin Marriage?

The eunuch responded and turned to leave the library. After a while, a man was over sixty years old, with white hair on his temples, wearing a red court dress with a white crane riding a cloud, and two red ribbons on his official hat. Zuo Xiao, Prime Minister of the Great Qi Empire!

"Minister Zuo Xiao, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Zuo Xiao bowed down respectfully and saluted.

He is over sixty years old, and he is no longer what he used to be. When he bends down, he seems a bit inconvenient.

"Give a seat!"

After Qi Didong's words fell, Li Min, who was still in good health, moved a stool and put it behind Zuo Xiao. Zuo Xiao saluted and thanked him, and then sat on the stool.

"Why did Zuo Aiqing enter the palace?" Qi Didong looked at Zuo Xiao calmly and asked.

"The news came from the Qin Empire that the Qin army wiped out 11 Xiongnu on the plain fifteen miles south of the Great Wall in northern Shanxi. The Qin army has killed 24 Huns. The vitality of the Bailan Prairie , has been completely consumed by the Qin army!" Zuo Xiao said calmly.

His expression is calm now. When he just got the news, he was full of shock and disbelief. He didn't expect Qin Jun to solve the Huns' trouble so quickly.

"What?" Qi Didong was stunned for a moment, and even Li Min showed a look of shock on his face.

What kind of combat power is the Qin army? It solved the scourge of the Huns in just half a year, and it is not uncommon to win more with less, and win more with less. What is strange is that it can win more with less against the Huns, which is not much See.

"Because of the Qin Empire's national policy of land reclamation and rewards for farming, the Qin Empire has recovered very quickly. It has recovered from the seven-year chaos. Now Qin and Jin have also changed their positions, and it is easy for the Qin Empire to destroy Jin. Your Majesty, Your Majesty. It can be said that within a few years, the strength of the Qin Empire will surpass that of Daqi!" Zuo Xiao said with a slightly dignified expression.

"Ah~"

Emperor Qi once again let out a long sigh, today is really a day of many sighs, "I sent troops to aid Qin, thinking that Qin and Jin would consume each other and make both Qin and Jin a weak country. I didn't expect that the Jin Empire would be so unbeatable, 50 Wan Dajun was defeated by the Qin army within a few months, and now it seems that my goal of Daqi and Ruojin has been achieved, but the goal of Ruoqin has not been achieved, and Daqi is really hard to defend against!"

"Yeah, not only failed to achieve the goal of weakening Qin, but also made the Qin Empire become a strong Qin, not to mention whether the Qin Empire will surpass our Daqi within a few years, given the current national strength of the Qin Empire, no one can control it , but what is worth resting in mind is that our Daqi is indebted to the Qin Empire, and even if the Qin Empire has the ambition to swallow the sky, it will not offend Daqi!" Zuo Xiao was both sad and thankful.

What is uncomfortable is that the Qin Empire has become a strong Qin Empire. Fortunately, Da Qi has kindness to the Qin Empire. With this kindness, the Qin Empire will not violate Qi, and will set its sights on the east or northwest. Qi does not have to worry about the safety of the border.

"This can be regarded as a crooked attack!" Qi Didong was very helpless, and his good plan to weaken Qin became a plan to friend Qin.

tread... tread...

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside the hall, and another eunuch walked into the Library Pavilion with light steps, stopped five steps before the imperial case, and then bowed down respectfully to make a report. Report: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites, Zhang Jia, is waiting outside the palace to see you!"

"Ministry of Rites?" Qi Didong couldn't help feeling puzzled, what else was there for the Ministry of Rites at this time.

"Let him in!" Qi Didong said.

"Obey!" The eunuch bowed respectfully and answered, then turned and left the library. After a while, Zhang Jia, the Minister of Rites in his forties, came in wearing a red court dress. Before Zhang Jia could salute, Emperor Qi Dong couldn't wait to ask: "Suddenly entering the palace, what's the matter?"

Zhang Jia bowed down and saluted, and then replied with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, the imperial court of the Jin Empire has sent a letter of envoy's entry to the Ministry of Rites. At the same time, the Jin envoy has already set off. I hope that our Da Qi can give the Jin envoy entry." Card!"

"Why did the Jin Empire send envoys to Daqi?" Zuo Xiao's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't figure out what the Jin Empire was doing.

"Did they say, what are you doing here?" Qi Didong looked at Zhang Jia and asked, the tone of the question was also full of doubts, just like Zuo Xiao, he couldn't figure out the purpose of the Jin Empire's visit.

Zhang Jia took out a letter from his sleeve and offered it with both hands. The old eunuch Li Min immediately walked up to Zhang Jia, took the letter, and handed it to Qi Didong. Take out a piece of white paper with two big seals on it, which are the seal of Emperor Jin and the Ministry of Rites of Jin Empire!

Qi Didong held both sides of the white paper with both hands, narrowing his eyes to carefully observe the content on the white paper. Zhang Jia, Zuo Xiao and Li Min all looked at Qi Didong without blinking, trying to understand the change in Qi Didong's expression. detect something in advance.

Although Zhang Jia was the one who forwarded the letter, he was not qualified to open it, so he did not know the contents of the letter.

"Haha!" Qi Didong suddenly smiled.

Zhang Jia and Zuo Xiao looked at each other, not understanding why Qi Didong was laughing.

After Emperor Qidong finished reading, Zuo Xiao couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, why did the Jin Empire send envoys to visit Daqi?"

Qi Didong smiled without saying a word, handed the white paper to Li Min, and then laughed aloud; "Read it out, let the two lovers listen to it!"

"Yes!"

Li Min nodded in agreement, then grabbed both sides of the white paper with both hands, looked at the content on the white paper seriously and read: "Except for the last confrontation in Nanguan, Qi and Jin have never met each other. , the two countries are friendly for it, and for the Qi army to send troops to aid Qin, I deeply understand Jin and never blame Qi!"
