The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Yang Ze and Pei Ji didn't say a word, already understanding Ying Chang's thoughts.

tread... tread...

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and I saw Lu Quan and Cao Zhen walking into the hall with great strides. Seeing that it was Lu Quan and Cao Zhen who came, Ying Chang was overjoyed, how could they come back? Not to say that Ma Daudao and Luo Xing are also back.

As soon as Lu Quan and Cao Zhen entered the imperial study, they all looked at Yang Ze. Yang Ze didn't understand what he saw, so he looked at Ying Chang suspiciously, as if asking again, what does this mean?

Seeing the situation, Ying immediately understood what the two of them meant, and immediately said disapprovingly, "Master Yang believed it, so tell me!"

Yang Ze was even more puzzled, he had no idea what Ying Chang was doing.

After receiving Ying Chang's reply, Lu Quan bowed down with a solemn expression and said softly: "Return to Your Majesty, General Polu and General Zhenjun have entered the palace, and I have dressed the two generals as imperial guards. Wait outside the hall!"

"What!" Yang Ze was startled suddenly, looked at Ying Chang dumbfounded and said, "Your Majesty, you...you..."

"Shh!"

Ying Chang made a booing gesture to signal Yang Ze not to talk too much. Yang Ze let out a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head. He never expected that His Majesty would secretly transfer Ma Bold and Luo Xing back. Is it nothing more than Fa Xia? What is it to be transferred back to Luo Xing? Fa Zhao?

"Let them come in. At the same time, no one is allowed to pass by the imperial study within a hundred steps. If anyone asks, just say that I am discussing important matters with the Minister of the Ministry of War!" Ying Chang ordered sternly!

"Obey!" Lu Quan and Cao Zhen responded, turned around and exited the imperial study.

Not long after, two imperial guards walked in outside the hall. One of the imperial guards was more than seven feet tall and burly, with rough stubble on his cheeks and under his jaw. His eyes were murderous, and his whole body exuded A sense of strength!

The other Imperial Guard was more than six feet tall, with a strong physique, a murderous aura with ease, a handsome face, and a heroic spirit between his brows!

The former is none other than Ma Bold, the Polu General, and the latter is Luo Xing, the General of the Town Army!

Ma Bold is 46 years old, Luo Xing is 43 years old, the two young generals in the past have become veterans, it is true that time is a ruthless butcher's knife.

After Ma Bold and Luo Xing entered the imperial study, Lu Quan and Xu Shui outside the imperial study immediately closed the door to prevent anyone from peeping from a distance.

"Chen Ma boldly greets His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Chen Luo Xing greets His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

When Ma Daudao and Luo Xing walked three steps away from Yingchang, they knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully and in awe. Yingchang raised a hand to the two of them, "Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma Daudao and Luo Xing thanked in unison, and then slowly got up from the ground. At this moment, Ying Chang waved to Pei Ji. Make a map.

The map was spread flat on the floor, and then pressed down with several heavy objects. Ying Chang squatted down, and Yang Ze, Pei Ji, Ma Daudao, and Luo Xing also squatted down one after another. Looking carefully at the map, they found that the map was Qin , Zhao, Xia Three Kingdoms map!

Ying Chang looked up at Ma Bold and Luo Xing, and asked in an unhurried tone, "Do you know why I secretly recalled you?"

Ma Bold and Luo Xing already had the answer in their hearts, but they still pretended not to understand and shook their heads, expressing that they did not know.

"I am going to wipe out the two Zhao Xia dynasties in one go!" Ying Chang said lightly.

Yang Ze's heart suddenly choked up, and he couldn't bear the huge amount of information. Ma Daudao and Luo Xing were not surprised or surprised. They both knew very well that after the Qin army was equipped with ugly cow-style artillery, any high-level and strong city would be changed. Vulnerable, and with Daqin's current national strength, it is not impossible to wage war against the two dynasties at the same time, but it is a bit risky.

"Your Majesty, I, Qin Zhao, have already married, and besides, Concubine Ning has given birth to a dragon seed for Your Majesty. If there is no good reason, my Daqin teacher will be unknown!" Induce dissatisfaction among all the countries in the world.

PS: "I'm asking for recommendation tickets, asking for monthly tickets, asking for rewards, asking for full reservations, and asking for four daily requests. I hope you will support me a lot!"

Chapter 863 Secret talk!

"A teacher without a name? The unification of the world is the best reason. As for Concubine Ning, I have already made plans. This time, I will not put this matter on the bright side and have to play it in secret!" Ying Chang was expressionless. Said.

"Playing in secret?"

Yang Ze, Ma Daudao, Luo Xing, and Pei Ji looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding the meaning of the second half of Ying Chang's sentence.

The puzzled expressions of the four people were all caught by Ying Chang, and he immediately explained with a calm expression: "Tomorrow morning, I will announce that Daqin has formally declared war on Zhao Dynasty, but I will tell you that Daqin's goal is not Zhao Dynasty, but Xia Dynasty. Dynasty, now in the imperial palace, there is a detailed work of the Zhao court, and they will definitely inform the Zhao court when they hear the news!"

"At that time, I will order the Marquis of Shangyang to increase troops to fill the mountain camp, pretending not to attack Zhao, but to attack Xia secretly. Think that I, Da Qinzheng, will not attack Zhao!"

"Because of internal strife, the Xia Dynasty rarely cares about the outside world. In addition, it is the Zhao Dynasty that my Great Qin declared war. The Xia Dynasty declares war to avoid the infamy of Daqin for undeclared war!"

"In this way, my Daqin will be able to catch them by surprise, and go all out to attack Huanglong, in order to destroy Zhao Xia as quickly as possible, and further promote the great cause of the unification of Kyushu!"

"The reason why I secretly recalled you two is because I will not send an order to the two of you in the open, even in secret!"

"Once someone sends someone to deliver a decree or a secret decree, there will be more or less clues and they will be detected. Only by talking face to face and making preparations for the two of you will it be possible for outsiders to know about it, understand?"

Luo Xing and Ma Boldly showed a look of sudden realization, and responded immediately: "I understand!"

Yang Ze didn't come back to his senses for a long time, it was really too much information.

Ying Chang pointed to the map, and the place pointed out was Shangqiu, the capital of the Xia Dynasty. "Shangqiu, the capital of the Xia Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty implemented a policy of centralizing the rich and powerful. All the rich and powerful families in the country are in Shangqiu. It is one of the most important cities in the Xia Dynasty!"

"Shangqiu is five hundred miles away from Manshan Pass, so it's close at hand. General Ma, your first priority is to capture Shangqiu within one month after the start of the war. Otherwise, the Xia Dynasty's garrisons will come to help. It's not so easy to fight!"

Hearing this, Ma boldly became excited. He originally thought that Ying Chang would let Shangyanghou command this battle, but he didn't expect that this battle would be commanded by himself.

Good brother Zhao Hua has fought several times in battles he personally commanded, but he didn't once. Now he finally has the chance to be alone, and he is still alone to destroy a dynasty. How can he not be excited!

"I will never disappoint Your Majesty!" Ma Boldly blushed with excitement!

Yingchang moved his finger and pointed to three locations south of Hulaoguan. The three locations are: Donggu County, Beichang County, and Tianyang County!

"The three counties of Donggu, Beichang, and Tianyang are the three counties to the north of the Zhao Dynasty. There are Changmen Pass on the top to resist the northern enemy, and there are five counties to the south of the Yellow River Guard. General Luo, the first priority of attacking Zhao is to capture Changmen. , to capture Changmen, do not fight separately, should drive straight in, pass through Beichang County and occupy the Huangjiang Cable Bridge first!"

"If the Yellow River Cable Bridge is occupied, the navy will not be required to participate in the attack on Zhao. Of course, it is extremely difficult to occupy the Yellow River Cable Bridge. Hetianyang and Tianyang counties will finally wait for the navy to pass through Xia Dynasty Haikou and enter the Yellow River Basin to help your army cross Mie Zhao!" Ying Chang acted decisively and quickly formulated a battle plan.

"I obey the order!" Luo Xing replied with a solemn expression.

To make a battle plan for Ma Bold and Luo Xing, Ying Chang ordered Pei Ji to put away the map, stand up straight, and looked at the crowd solemnly, saying: "The time to attack Xia and Zhao is March [-]st next year. Once the time comes, send troops immediately." Go south!"

"Before that, I will ask the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War to prepare for the start of the war. If you need anything, report it directly to the Ministry of War. Or you can also say now that I will send someone to do it right away!"

"Your Majesty, there is nothing missing, but shells!" Ma boldly said.

Luo Xing also nodded.

Ying Chang turned to look at Yang Ze, "How many shells are there in Hyogo?"

"Return to Your Majesty, 120 million rounds of shells have been manufactured so far this year, plus last year's 200 million rounds in stock, now there are 320 million shells in stock!" Yang Ze replied respectfully.

"Decree, 120 artillery battalions across the country, each artillery battalion allocates [-] rounds of shells, and the Ministry of War will execute immediately!"

In order to conceal people's eyes and ears, Ying Chang naturally couldn't just allocate shells to the Hulao Camp and Manshan Camp, otherwise, wouldn't it be noticed by others, so he could only allocate shells to the national artillery battalions with great fanfare, so that no one would be aware of the attack. sex.

"The minister leads the decree!" Yang Ze bent down and responded.

"Okay, that's all for this matter. General Luo and General Ma returned to their respective camps starry night. Remember, you must not let the rest of the people know that you two have returned to Beijing!" Ying Chang said cautiously.

"I understand!" Ma Daudao and Luo Xingxing bid farewell, and with Yingchang's permission, the two hurriedly left the imperial study room. With the cooperation of Lu Quan and Cao Zhen, the two disappeared into the palace, as if they had never been there before.

"Your Majesty, you are really crazy!"

After Ma Bold and Luo Xing left, Yang Ze couldn't laugh or cry.

Going to war with two dynasties at the same time, one of which is still very powerful, is crazy!

"Crazy? Haha!"

Ying Chang couldn't help smiling, and said disapprovingly: "What kind of madness is this? If it weren't for the friendship between the Qi Dynasty and our Great Qin Dynasty, and the Zhongshan Kingdom was a subsidiary state of the Moon Dynasty, otherwise, I would not be fighting on two fronts, but on four fronts." Go to war, mobilize all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, and destroy Xia, Zhao, Zhongshan, and Qi in one go!"

"Fortunately, Your Majesty didn't start a war on four fronts, otherwise, I would have to spend a lot of time dissuading Your Majesty!" Yang Ze shook his head and smiled wryly, feeling both helpless and shocked in his heart.

The emperor in front of him is far crazier than he imagined!

In the following time, Ying Chang continued to discuss important matters with Yang Ze for a while. After talking for about a stick of incense, Yang Ze resigned and left, while Ying Chang sat back in the dragon chair to review the memorial. He yawned and went back to Xianyang Palace for bed.

The next day, April [-]th!

Chen Shi!

Inside Xianyang City, the Imperial Palace, and Qilin Hall!

The court was held in the morning, and the ranks of military officers were empty. Bai Qi did not go to court today, and the ranks of officials remained as usual. Hundreds of officials and ministers lined up in four rows and stood on the left side.

Chapter 864 Morning Morning!

Xianyang Palace Martial Guard Chief Pei Ji stood behind Ying Chang like a sculpture, scanning the hall with sharp, cold eyes.

Ying Chang stretched out his right hand to pick up a memorial on the imperial platform. This memorial was exactly the battle report of the Wuyang Navy presented by Yang Ze last night. When he picked up this memorial, all the officials looked at The memorial in Ying Chang's hand.

Ying Chang glanced around at the ministers, and said in an unhurried tone: "This is the battle report uploaded by the naval commander to the Ministry of War yesterday. In three months, more than 300 enemy ships were sunk, tens of thousands of enemies were destroyed, and more than [-] prisoners of war were captured!"

"Now my Great Qin has pacified Yin Li's troubles, regained Yan Island and Sanming Island, and completely unified the northern part of Kyushu. The country's prosperity will last for thousands of years!"

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty bent down and raised their hands to salute, and shouted loudly with a solemn expression: "The mighty Qin Dynasty! The Great Qin Wannian!!"

"Great Qin Mighty! Great Qin Wannian!!"

Waves of cheers like a tsunami swept across, and the entire Qilin Palace echoed with the voices of all officials.

Ying Chang put down the memorial in his hand, looked solemnly at the kneeling officials and shouted: "For this great victory in the naval battle, our Daqin must put up notices to let all the countries in the world understand that our Daqin is not only invincible in the world with infantry , and so is the sailor!"

"The position of the overlord of the sea belongs to our Great Qin. If anyone dares to provoke our Great Qin Sea Region, the provocateur will be the next Yin Li!"

The words "Sea Overlord" inspired all the ministers and felt endless glory and glory. Throughout the 600 years since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, it has always lived in the western corner.

Today, under the rule of His Majesty the Holy Qin Emperor, Great Qin conquered the Northwest Desert, destroyed Jin and Yan, and unified the northern part of Kyushu in just 20 years. One hundred thousand troops went south to conquer the former overlord and powerful country, and firmly established the position of Kyushu overlord , Sea supremacy!

Every word, every symbol belongs to the glory of the Great Qin Dynasty!

Seeing the encouragement of all the officials, Ying Chang was very satisfied, this is what he wanted!

"The aftermath of Yin Li's destruction is rather cumbersome. First of all, there are more than 50 prisoners of war, and then there are [-] people in Yincheng of Yandao. What do you think about this?" Ying Chang's face was serious, and his eyes were fixed. Looking at the officials under the stage.

As soon as the words fell, Jia Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stepped out of the official queue, only to see him bend down respectfully to compose and salute, and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the administrative area of ​​Yandao should be preserved, and 50 people should be kept in Yindao. City, I only need to send an official to take up the post!"

"What's the reason?" Ying Changfan liked to ask a reason.

"The reason is simple. 50 people is not a small number. If they move on a large scale, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and the huge city of Yin City will also be wasted. The gain is not worth the loss!" Jia Luo said without thinking.

His proposal is based on saving money.

"Master Jia's words are wrong!"

Just after Jia Luo finished speaking, there was a strange voice, and all the officials turned their heads subconsciously, and saw the left prime minister Zhang Feizi take a step forward, raised his hand in front of Ying Chang, and said in salute: "Report to Your Majesty , Mr. Jia only thinks about the present, but never considers the overall situation..."

Jia Luo suddenly interrupted: "Why did Prime Minister Zuo make such a statement? What is the basis for it?"

Zhang Feizi turned his head and glanced at Jia Luo, then turned his head again, continued to face Ying Chang and said, "Your Majesty, the soil quality of Salt Island is not suitable for crop growth, and the land contains a lot of salt. If the 50 people are not moved out, It means that I, Daqin, have to take out an extra part of the food every year to support the 50 people on the island!"

"In addition, the vast area of ​​Yandao can be used as a place to build warships, which greatly saves the limited land of the two major ports of Wuyang and Haozhou. Moreover, the salt production of Yandao and Sanming Island was once an important financial resource for the Yan Dynasty. One of the sources, and it is also the largest salt-producing area in the entire land of Kyushu!"

After the words fell, Ying Chang said: "Jia Aiqing proposed not to relocate the people of Yandao, and Zhang Aiqing proposed to relocate the people of Yandao. One doesn't want to waste the city of Yincheng, and the other wants to turn Yandao and Sanming Island into shipbuilding and salt mining areas." land!"

"What the two lovers said is very reasonable, but I think it's better to have the best of both worlds. Among Sanming Island, Diming Island is used as a salt mining site, the northern part of Renming Island is used as a salt mining site, and the southern part is used as a naval port. The southern part of Tianming Island is used as a salt mining site, and the northern part is used as a navy port!"

"The two northeastern sides of Salt Island are used as salt mining sites, the south side is used as a shipbuilding site, the west side is used as a navy port, and the middle is the residence of 50 people in Yincheng. These 50 people can be used to produce salt. To make salt, the imperial court spends money to buy it!"

"In this way, the money from the imperial government's purchase of sea salt is in the hands of the people, and the people can use the money to buy what they want, especially grain. The grain merchants will also make a lot of money, and the imperial court can collect commercial taxes from it. Wouldn’t it be great to get the best of both worlds by relying on these sea salts to make a fortune?”

Zhang Feizi and Jia Luo fell silent, as did the rest of the ministers, secretly thinking whether Ying Chang's words made sense, and whether it was the best choice at the moment.

After a period of contemplation, Zhang Feizi just raised his hand and saluted: "Your Majesty is right, I admire you!"

"Senior!" Jarrow followed closely behind.

"Your Majesty is wise!!" All the ministers bowed down and shouted together.

In this way, the fate of 50 people in Yincheng was decided.

This is the charm of the ruler, words can determine the fate of the world.

"Your Majesty, how should the [-] prisoners be placed?" Zhang Feizi asked immediately.

"Release them all!" Ying Chang replied calmly.

Yingchang never thought of using these 9 prisoners of war for his own use, because these [-] prisoners of war have not received systematic training from the Great Qin, and it is definitely not easy to integrate into the army. It is better to let them go home and do something for the population of the Great Qin. Contribute to improve Daqin labor force.

Zhang Feizi was silent, and after a short silence, he asked again: "Then what should Yin Li and the commanders and deputy commanders of Yin Jun's navy do?"

Shangshu Leitong of the Ministry of Punishment walked out of the queue, bowed down with a solemn expression, and wrote a report: "My Majesty, Yin Li has two crimes. First, my Daqin envoy persuaded him to surrender and refused to accept it. Second, he ordered to harass our Daqin coast, causing our Daqin to suffer for a long time. The Yin Jun sailor threatened that the crime is unforgivable, and he should be executed immediately after being escorted to Xianyang, so as to make an example to others!"

"As for the commanders and deputy commanders of Yin Jun's navy, they can be imprisoned for a period of time and then released!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

PS: "Please book in full!"

Chapter 865 Shock the government and the opposition!

After Lei Tong's voice fell, many ministers stood up to support the proposal. Obviously, in the eyes of these ministers, Yin Li had committed an unforgivable capital crime by invading the Daqin sea area, and they did not intend to let Yin Li live. This kind of person is alive, and it is also a big deal for Daqin. threat.
