Chapter 293 Conquering a Large Territory

The sound of hurried horse hooves and the shouts of messengers never stopped.

Soon, the whole city was in an uproar over the good news.

The officials in the county magistrate's mansion were all awakened, hurriedly put on their official uniforms, and waited for the emperor's summons.

The courtyard where Ying Zheng lived was brightly lit. The servants walked into the front hall carrying warm tea. There, the messenger had been waiting there for a long time. The moment he saw Ying Zheng, he immediately knelt on one knee and presented the victory news.

The eunuch Pushe stepped forward quickly, took the victory report, and presented it to Ying Zheng.

By candlelight, Ying Zheng read it word by word.

The expression on his face changed from anticipation to joy, and finally to laughter.

"Excellent! Excellent! The soldiers of the Great Qin are so brave and invincible!" Ying Zheng said excitedly, "Come here, send out orders to all places. Celebrate our victory tomorrow. The whole city will celebrate together. Spread the word to all parties, and celebrate with all the people of the world!"

The loud laughter spread far away and was heard by Fusu and others who had hurried over to the yard. They looked around with smiles in their eyes.

"Father, have we taken Jiuyuan County?"

As soon as he entered the front hall, Fusu couldn't hold back and asked.

"Yes! We've conquered it!" Ying Zheng waved his hand, asked everyone to take a seat, and passed the victory report to everyone for review, saying non-stop, "Not only that, we've conquered an entire county more than we originally expected!"

As he spoke, he felt extremely refreshed all over and burst into laughter again.

Fusu took the victory report and read it carefully, his eyes full of admiration and pride: "General Meng Tian has indeed lived up to my father's trust. This great victory will definitely be rewarded handsomely!"

"That's right!" Ying Zheng nodded. "The messenger can go back and rest and receive his reward."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" The messenger took the order and left. The servants had already prepared food and shelter for him, allowing him to relieve his fatigue from the journey.

In the front hall, everyone was still in a state of joy, and they were discussing how to reward the army. The anxious Li Si and Xiao He were already considering the issue of increasing the subsequent influx of the population.

This great victory of the northern border defense army not only captured the Hetao Plain area in Inner Mongolia and cut off the route for the Hu Lu to move south, but also expanded northward and westward to Wuwei and Shuofang, reaching the Yuezhi and Qiang areas.

Even though it was just one more county, as long as Ying Zheng thought that this was more land than the original history, he could hardly suppress the surging ambition in his heart.

"What are the Six Kingdoms? What are the Xiongnu? I will lead the Qin cavalry to conquer a vast territory!"

Not only the Xiongnu, but also the Donghu, Baiyue, and the city-states.

"I want this world, wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever the rivers flow, all to be Qin territory!"

At this moment, a servant came in carrying a scroll and placed it on the table in front of Ying Zheng.

The scroll slowly opened, revealing a huge global map.

The territory is not drawn very accurately, but one can still see at a glance the large area of ​​land.

Ying Zheng stretched out his right hand and slowly stroked every spot on the map with his fingers.

Too little.

The territory occupied by his Great Qin was still too small.

This was left behind by the two deceased younger generations. Of course, San'er also made some adjustments. The child has always been lazy, so it is very good that he can remember so much.

Thinking of Su Jinyue, Ying Zheng's forehead bulged suddenly, and his eyes suddenly shot towards the patient Pushe, "Would you go and see the State Master? Go in person."

"Yes, I'll go right away." The eunuch Pushe knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly bent down and retreated, trotting all the way to the courtyard where Su Jinyue was.

"Dan, come here."

From a distance, the eunuch saw the lady Dan guarding the door of Su Jinyue's bedroom, and waved to Dan in a low voice.

Dan was alert and went to meet him immediately.

"Go to the inner room and check if the Imperial Master is okay."

"Please wait a moment, sir." As he spoke, Dan had already quickly returned to his original place, carefully opened the door, and went into the house.

In the room, Tan was taking a nap on the low couch by the windowsill. When she heard footsteps, she immediately opened her eyes and looked straight towards the door.

Seeing it was Dan, her body relaxed.

"Your Majesty is worried about the Master, so he asked the eunuch Pushe to come and inquire about the situation."

Tan's voice rang out, and the two of them tiptoed to the bedside, carefully checking Su Jinyue's condition.

After touching the forehead and taking the pulse, the two of them walked out of the bedroom one after the other.

"Sir, on the surface, the master is fine, but we have only just learned how to take the pulse, so we are not sure about the master's pulse."

Tan frowned in worry and hesitated: "How about we ask the imperial physician to come and take a look, or should we try to call the master?"

The eunuch Pushe was also unsure. He pondered for a moment before asking, "I will report back to you and ask Your Majesty to make the final decision."

"it is good."

The three of them agreed that the eunuch Pushe would not stay and turned back.

In the front hall, Ying Zheng was discussing with Li Si and others the latest news brought back by several teams of envoys sent to Qin.

"In the northwest, a family led by the Lu family is exploring. They reported last month that they have discovered a cold-resistant staple food. It doesn't taste very good, but it is filling." Xiao He paid special attention to the news of each envoy sent to Qin. He is now the Secretary of the Internal Affairs, young and strong. Of course, he will accompany them on this tour, and the Internal Affairs Secretary of Grain is also happy and relaxed.

"A small packet of seeds was also sent back with the letter, and has been handed over to the farmers in the academy for cultivation."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

It hasn't been long since he received some good seeds, and it seems he can move up the timetable in his mind again.

"How's Baiyue doing?"

Wei Liao put down the teacup in his hand, bowed, and replied, "The several caravans sent by the merchants have all been very successful. They have made their way south and have already penetrated into Dong'ou, Minyue, and Nanyue. Only the relatively strong tribes in Xi'ou have not yet had the opportunity to enter."

Thinking of the information sent back by the merchants, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued to analyze: "The tribes over there are many people and have abundant food. They often summon other tribes to exchange goods with them and also collect tribute. Our people can't enter, and we only need tribute from others for our goods."

"I don't think so." Li Si chuckled. "Desire is insatiable. After using the good things of our Great Qin, they will naturally want more. When that happens, they will either displease the tribes below, or seek cooperation with us. Either way, it will benefit us."

As soon as this was said, everyone expressed their agreement.

What Ying Zheng was thinking about was the Lingqu Canal that San'er had mentioned. Now that the north was pacified, he could finally focus all his efforts on the south.

"I intend to dig a Lingqu Canal from Dongting Lake to the south, connecting the Xiang River and the Li River, to transport supplies for the army and to train for naval warfare."

Upon hearing this, all the ministers in the hall lowered their eyes and fell into deep thought.

Minister Wang Bing stood up, bowed to Ying Zheng, and began to advise him.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too hasty? Years of war have stretched the treasury to its limit. Although things eased somewhat last year, the construction of official roads across the Qin Empire has been quite costly over the past year. Furthermore, a major war just took place in the north. I believe it's best to slow down a bit."
