Chapter 569 Eternal One Emperor (End of Text)
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, all nations come to Korea.

In the New Imperial City of Luoyang, Emperor Shi received congratulations from envoys from various countries, and then inspected the latest musket guard of honor.

These soldiers were neatly lined up and saluted,
These guns are the crystallization of the technology of the latest batch of confidential divisions, and now only more than 200 have been produced. The biggest improvement is the change from front loading to rear loading, and the rate of fire is greatly accelerated. Some decline.

After the military officers and soldiers tried it out, they all felt that the rear-loading gun was better, and would rather sacrifice some power to increase the shooting speed.

The soldiers and officers in the military parade are a new batch of military talents who graduated from the lecture hall.

Emperor Shi waved his hand and inspected the students in the martial arts hall under the eyes of all countries.

Then came the grand celebration and song and dance performances.

In the midst of everyone's celebration, Zhang Qixian quietly came to him and whispered a few words.

Emperor Shi nodded, and temporarily left the table to read the detailed battle statistics sent by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War in the apse.

300 people, the soldiers of the Qin army who died in the two-year southern expedition.

He sighed lightly...

Emperor Shi knew in his heart that these years of fighting in the north and south, and decades of endless wars, at least more than 20 soldiers died in battle.

He has used it for 30 years in a peaceful world, and the war has continued. It is time to start turning.

In terms of the speed at which he expanded his territory and annexed the world, he was already very fast and efficient.

It took him at least several generations of emperors to do these things in all dynasties. In the span of a hundred years, it took Emperor Shi 30 years.

Because his strategic thinking has never changed. Once the war machine is activated, it will not stop no matter what, until the world is wiped out and all directions are wiped out.

The state machinery was squeezed hard.

"Shi Liang, what do you think of the world today?" Emperor Shi looked at a huge map in the room, on which was the current territory of Great Qin, Zhang Qixian lit a lamp for him, the fire flickered, and the bright flames danced, like thousands of miles of rivers and mountains dyed blood red.

"The Son of Heaven is wise and the people are happy." Zhang Qixian didn't even want to agree.

Emperor Shi said: "Are you telling the truth?"

"En!" Zhang Qixian nodded, and Emperor Shi shook his head.

He poured himself a glass of wine and handed it to Zhang Qixian, "I remember the first time you fought in Youzhou, and you were also a scurrying novice, no different from any recruit except that you are not afraid of death.

Now you are the pillar of the country, at the head of the court, 30 years of continuous warfare, 20 soldiers buried in the battlefield, how many pillars of the country, how many husbands, sons, and families expecting to die for me is a serious sin . "

Zhang Qixian was about to say something, but Emperor Shi interrupted him by raising his hand, "There is no need to excuse Lian, I know that many people have something to say, but Lian Gangang is arbitrary and arrogant, they dare not say more, these things are happening today It's the end."

Zhang Qixian looked over, a little unbelievable.

Emperor Shi smiled, "It's not that I'm a fool, I don't know how time changes and people's hearts.

It's just that some things need to be done in one go, and can't be cut off in the middle.

Even if everyone criticizes you, you must grit your teeth and persevere, otherwise you will fail and regret for thousands of years...

It's time to call it quits. "

"Officials..." Zhang Qixian burst into tears, his lips trembled and he was speechless for a long time.

……

The next day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, all civil and military officials gathered.

The salute is fired, and the ceremony is over.

Shi Huang wore a red and black dragon robe, looked down at the crowd, and spoke slowly.

"I have chased south and north all my life, conquered east and west...

Thinking that...running across the world and looking down on all nations is invincible...

Want to come to the age of 15 to ask He Dong for one hundred...

30-year-old Ping Liao claims to be invincible in the world...

Destroy the Southern Han, Northern Han, Nanping, Wuping, Shu, Tang, Liao, and Li, conquer Wuyue, flatten Li Yun, defeat Dangxiang, and flatten the Western Regions.
Looking back at the age of 50 now... 30 years of constant wars, endless wars, poor livelihood, resentment, and barren land...

The old, the weak, the lonely, no one to look after, and the 20 loyal bones buried in a foreign country are all my sins. "

As soon as the words came out, all the officials knelt down one after another, and Lu Duoxun, the leader, shouted: "The official's Wencheng Wude shines on all nations, he is the watch of all people in the world, and he is the most capable lord since ancient times. I beg the official to take it back!" Say it!"

"I beg the officials to take it back!" All the officials agreed.

Seeing them laugh like this, Emperor Shi waved his hands, "Get up, get up..."

But still no one got up.

Emperor Shi ignored them, went down and limped in the hall, shuttled among the crowd, "I know what I did, you don't need to protect me.

You have your ideas, I have my difficulties, maybe we all have our own right and wrong...

Monarchs and ministers also need to be considerate of each other.

What I said today is also to make some plans for the next ten years.

In the future, when I am in power, my Daqin will focus on raising the people and emphasizing education, and will no longer start wars lightly. "

"The officials are sages!" All the officials shouted in unison.

Many people are sincerely happy, some of them are purely for their own interests, while some are really concerned about the common people, for the country and the people.

Emperor Shi also laughed, a little relieved, a little lonely, he may be a true virtuous and wise ruler, an emperor through the ages.

……

After this major court meeting, Qin's strategy began to change.

From the previous strategic offense to strategic defense.

Except for the small-scale battles of counterattacks, no large-scale wars will be launched.

At that time, Emperor Shi changed Yuan Yongle, and gave amnesty to the world. At the same time, he changed the name of the Qin Dynasty navy to the navy, and personally inspected the first iron-clad ship of the Qin army. He said that the iron-clad ship was actually a gunboat wrapped in iron.

Emperor Shi said some words of urging, talking about the importance of the navy.But he also knew that he was no match for the decisive effects of time and geography.

As a traditional land power, the navy can add to the icing on the cake when the country’s affairs are flourishing, and it looks pretty good. Once there is a trade-off, the land power must overwhelm the sea power, regardless of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties.

No matter how bad a person is, he can't beat the years and mountains and rivers.

After the reform of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Shi gradually put his energy on his hard-working Guozijian and the lecture hall.He also wrote a book with Zhao Daijian, leaving a lot of knowledge and theory to future generations, and also cultivating talents for future generations.

In the fifth year of Yongle, the queen died of illness. Emperor Shi made Zhao Daijian, whom he cherished and accompanied all his life, as the queen, and among the 27 sons, Shi Jin, the eldest son born to him by Zhao Shijian, was the crown prince. He began to gradually educate and support him and transfer power.

And in these years, whether it is the Indochina Peninsula or the northern grasslands, there have been continuous requests from national forces to surrender.

Eight years later in Yongle, Emperor Shi hardly asked about political affairs, and handed them all over to the prince. He devoted himself to writing books and running around in the Guozijian and the lecture hall.

In the tenth year of Yongle, the son of heaven Zen became the prince and changed his name to Yongchang.

After more than ten years of study, the new king quickly took over the regime and suppressed a group of former heroes and veterans.

Then broke the peace that had lasted for more than ten years, with a group of young military talents who graduated from the lecture hall as their arms.Seventy percent of them have been replaced with muskets. The four main armies of Crane, Iron Cavalry, Long Jie, and Hu Jie, and the two main fleets of Yulang and Cangbo have started his new journey and passed on the prestige of the Great Qin to the ancestors. Faraway lands untouched.

Regarding Emperor Shi who is gradually fading out of sight, most people will use the four words "one emperor through the ages" to summarize his achievements and demerits.And selectively inherit and use his works and ideas.

It has also become a frequent guest in folk dramas. As the favorite of the people, Mingzhu, who is both civil and military, invincible, and bravely crowned the three armies, has been sung from generation to generation...
