Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 146 Great Qin must have a prosperous country within a hundred years
And Xiang Yu's bravery is not only about martial bravery!

Even if a person is as strong as an ox and as agile as an ape, he is still only a body of flesh and blood. Especially on the battlefield, thousands of people line up to fight, stabbing with spears and hacking with knives... No matter how brave and agile a person is, how can they be so powerful? What can it do?
Just like a few days ago, Xiang Yu faced the mandarin duck formation waiting in full swing, didn't he panic and rely on his own soldiers to cover up desperately?

Later, all relying on their keen sense of the battlefield, they discovered that the Tieshan Army was not elite, and immediately led their subordinates to fight fiercely, successfully disrupting the Tieshan Army's position...

And Xiang Yu's real bravery is precisely this keen sense of the battlefield, which allows him to attack the enemy's weakness, and seize the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, and has repeatedly won the immortal record of winning more with less!
This is a quality that Qin Mo doesn't have. In comparison, he is someone who relies on perfect planning, weapons and equipment, and fights in a daze...

In short, even if Xiang Yu loses his arm, as long as he has soldiers under his command, he is still the unstoppable Overlord of Chu!

"Why should Aiqing worry? Even if the other generation escapes, they are just defeated soldiers. I, Da Qin, can defeat him once, and I can defeat him a hundred times in the future!"

Ying Zheng saw that Qin Mo frowned slightly, as if he was obsessed with capturing and killing Xiang Yu, so he comforted him.

These words are very ancestral, but they also have some truth.

The Great Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and the capable ministers and brave generals certainly played a big role, but the decisive factor was the crushing of the overall national strength.

Just like Xiang Yu's grandfather, Xiang Yan, who defeated Daqin's 20 army, Daqin immediately sent another 60 army to destroy Xiang Yan with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

But now the national power of Great Qin has already been several times, even ten times that of that year!
"Now that the old clans of the Six Kingdoms have been defeated, there are probably not many who can escape the pursuit of the Yue soldiers..."

"At that time, if the Baiyue kingdoms slow down, cultivate morality and government training, defeat the remaining old clans, and recover the occupied land, my Great Qin will spend a lot of national power if I want to subdue Baiyue."

"It doesn't matter if the Xiang family's uncle and nephew have escaped, let them go back to integrate the old families left behind, and continue to entangle with the South Vietnamese countries. It is best to maintain the status quo."

"And I, Da Qin, slowly advance, just recruit the people of Baiyue!"

Ying Zheng thought for a while and added.

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here to teach you..."

But he said in his heart: [I'm afraid that after the evolution, Xiang Yu will comprehend some strange skills and break the status quo. 】

[If it ends in the end, there will be a smashed Baiyue land left, even if it can be easily subdued, it will take many years to recover Dingkou! 】

……

Three days passed in a flash, and the Yue soldiers who went to pursue the defeated soldiers of the six countries had returned one after another.

Thousands of captives were brought back, but more heads were brought back...

In addition, there are more than a dozen people from the old tribes of the Six Kingdoms. None of them were alive, and they were all carried back sideways!

Among them was Zhao Xie, the head of Zhao's clan who dared to challenge Xiang Liang.

Out of the Zhao people's hatred for Tyranny, he and several of his nephews died in a fierce battle. Their armor was covered with feather arrows, and their bodies were bloody from being pierced by spears.

In addition, there was also Wei Jiu who had lost his brother and was defeated with Xiang Yu.

Wei Jiu is well-known for being a virtuous man, and it's not that others flatter him. When he had nowhere to escape, he didn't want to implicate his advisers and soldiers, so he set a big fire himself to stop the pursuing Yue soldiers. The counselor's own soldiers fled...

Other old clans include the three famous brothers Tian Zhan, Tian Rong, Tian Heng in Qi State, descendants of the clan of Yan Kingdom whose name is unknown in history, and the clan Han Xin of South Korea... Well, it has the same name as Han Xin who lived outside the Great Wall, and was called Han Wangxin in history.

Those generations either died in battle, or committed suicide, and so on, and none of them surrendered.

But think about it, since they left their family business and came to Baiyue, they held the belief that if they fail, they will be benevolent. It is impossible to be a prisoner if they are prisoners.

After seeing these corpses one by one, Ying Zheng ordered them to be buried together with the soldiers of the six countries who died in battle.

Then, there was a feast with all civil and military officials, and an edict to reward the three armies was issued.

The next day the army marched to Zhecheng. When Zhu Wenwu saw Yingzheng, he found that there seemed to be a little more calmness in his brows!
This is a trait that never appears in Ying Zheng...

Even if Qin Mo defeated the Xiongnu in the first place, then destroyed the Yuezhi and Donghu, and included all the land outside the Great Wall into the territory of the Great Qin, Yingzheng was only happy, not calm.

Yingzheng has always been eager for quick success in his work, as if he wanted to turn Daqin into the utopia in his heart in an instant.

Therefore, although he has the side of close relatives and virtuous ministers, he often appears irritable, which makes all civil and military officials respect and fear him, and all civil and military officials are also used to his changeability.

But now... calmly?
Such traits are simply not too inconsistent with Ying Zheng!
Zhu Wenwu was amazed all the way, and for two or three days, he quietly looked at Ying Zheng.

No one dares to ask, and no one dares to say!

The only one who was not surprised and calmed down was probably Qin Mo, because some things would actually be very clear from the perspective of people who came later.

The most important thing in Yingzheng's heart has always been stability, so after he became emperor, he toured the world five times, and all of them were in a big way, in order to deter those who plot secretly.

Now, most of the restless factors that made him sleepless and restless were cut off by the First World War, and the rest could not survive.

This is equivalent to pulling out a poisonous thorn in his heart, leaving only a little bit of poison left, just take care of it slowly, and he will naturally become calm!

……

……

Qin Mo and Ying Zheng led an army, stationed at the junction, and rushed to Zhecheng, Fusu and the three thousand imperial guards were not idle.

All those who could read and write in the army, no matter missionary officers, military judges, or leading generals, were drawn out by Fusu as long as they could listen and write.

Then, with the assistance of the local Yue soldiers who led the way, they roughly counted the people and fields around Zhecheng.

Even the old Fan Zeng was pushed to the shelves by him to help complete the final calculation total.

After the statistics of Dingkou's fields were completed, the local old and weak women and children in Zhecheng were called together to publicly trial the defenders of the Six Kingdoms.

As long as it is during the period of defending the city, anyone who bullies and kills the people will be sentenced to lifelong hard labor.

Old Fan Zeng watched the whole trial because he was also included in the trial.

It's just that he stayed in Zhecheng for a few days, and after killing all the local gentry and gentry, he continued to fight with Xiang Liang. He had no contact with the old, weak, women and children at the bottom, so naturally no one identified him.

As a result, he was dragged back by Fusu and continued to serve as the temporary Sima of the Chinese army, helping to organize households and divide land.

Fu Su found that this old man is really easy to use, he can do everything with his hands, and his efficiency is extremely fast. No wonder he can be as good as Xiang Yu in the Allied Forces of the Six Nations!
"The defeat of the old families of the Six Kingdoms is not injustice, and the defeat of the Xiang family's uncles and nephews is not injustice..."

Old Fan Zeng, who had gone through a public trial and returned to Fusu, could only sigh in this way.

Compared with the old clans of the Six Kingdoms, when they arrived in one place, they killed the gentry and gentry indiscriminately, and then demoted all the Yue people to serfs or labor slaves to make armor for the army.

Qin Ting's policy towards Yue people is simply a benevolent government!
Even under the farming and warfare system of the Qin court, before the war stopped, the life of the people of Yue would not be much different from that of serfs and slaves. They would be able to eat enough and have clothes to wear...

Can eat!
Have clothes to wear!
Such a simple six words, yet so able to win over people's hearts!
In addition to this, another reason for Lao Fan Zeng's exclamation was Fusu.

Fusu's character and morality, as well as the faintly revealed emperor's posture, all made old Fan Zeng admire.

He could already foresee that Great Qin would have a prosperous national destiny within a hundred years.

This time, it was no longer an excuse for him to comfort himself...

"His Royal Highness, the old man has made a fortune in earning the city, has he already made it a crime?" Old Fan Zeng asked curiously while helping Su to review the official bamboo slips sent by the soldiers.

Fu Su nodded, but then shook his head again, hesitatingly said: "It's natural to pay off the merits, but Fan Lao is the leader of the rebellion, how to deal with it is up to the emperor to decide."

Old Fan Zeng was stunned for a moment, his beard straightened in anger, and he threw down his writing brush and said, "Everyone speaks of violence... Great Qin is strong by the law, and those who have the law must be respected, how can you go back on what you say?"

Fusu picked up the brush, stuffed it into his hand, and then just looked at him without speaking.

Old Fan Zeng: "..."

Lao Fan Zeng had no choice but to continue to review the bamboo slips.

Fusu nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The punishment is to pay the crime, it's just to pay the crime... The punishment is to resettle, centrally resettle and supervise, so as to prevent you from causing trouble again."

When old Fan Zeng heard the words, he couldn't help but raise his head in reproach, glared at Fusu, and asked if he could speak without panting.

Fusu didn't think he was disobedient, and continued to read the bamboo slips with his head bowed.

However, a strange atmosphere permeated the room of the old and the small. It seemed to be a little ambiguous, but no one wanted to reveal it...

……

And in the ambiguity between Fusu and old Fan Zeng, the army arrived in Zhecheng.

Unlike the mulberry rice fields everywhere in other plains, half of the fields around Zhecheng are planted with sugar cane.

The Zhe character in Zhecheng is actually the Zhe character for sugarcane, and the Zhe character only appeared in the Han Dynasty.

Now it is autumn, which is the harvest season of sugarcane, and the fields are full of old and weak women and children harvesting sugarcane.

This time, they hid without seeing the army, because they already knew that their father, brother and son were among the army.

So instead, they enthusiastically approached and gave the soldiers sugar cane to eat, and took the opportunity to see if there were any relatives in the marching ranks.

However, none of the soldiers dared to take it. Although they were drooling greedily, they just gave way and looked at the missionary officer with pleading eyes.

But the missionary officer is more greedy than them...

In this pre-Qin era, sweetness was a real luxury taste enjoyment. Even in later generations, some people seem to say that sweetness can make people feel happy.

The sweetness in China is obtained from caramel and honey, but caramel and honey are extremely precious things.

It is so precious that the princes of the Warring States Period will give it to each other as a gift!
As for sugarcane, it is an imported variety from India. It has not yet become popular at this time, and it is not suitable for planting outside South Vietnam. It is even difficult to grow it well in South Chu.

Just like the cotton that Qin Mo tried his best to promote in Daqin, it will take several years or even decades of breeding to make it adapt to the climate of different regions if it is to be truly popularized.

Otherwise, it will not be sweet when planted, and it will not even live!

Moreover, sugarcane in South Vietnam is only enjoyed by the nobles, and ordinary people don’t have the luxury to taste it. As the saying goes, those who are covered in silk are not silkworm farmers, and that’s probably the case!
Tread-tap-

Under the banner of the Chinese army, hundreds of knights galloped along the marching ranks, stuffing golden beans to those old and weak women and children who came forward to deliver sugar cane, saying: "Just send the harvested sugar cane, and give each soldier a piece of gold." root to taste."

Gold will always be a hard currency.

The old and weak women and children were ecstatic, and hurriedly stuffed the sugar cane in their hands to the soldiers in front of them, and then returned to their own sugar cane fields, carrying more sugar cane bundles and distributing them one by one.

However, there are those lucky old and weak women and children who actually saw their relatives, so the sugar cane hung with icing sugar was stuffed in the past, and it was for whom or not...

……

The army rushed to the outside of Zhecheng with weapons in one hand and sugar cane in the other.

Fusu and the generals of the three thousand imperial guards had already been waiting outside the city for the imperial driver. When the army stopped, they went to the central army to meet with Ying Zheng and Qin Mo to give orders.

"Greetings to my father...meet the great general..."

Fusu led the generals of the imperial guards and saluted Ying Zheng and Qin Mo.

crunch--

Ying Zheng bit off a cut piece of sugar cane, and said vaguely: "Excuse me... um... let's go to the city, I will talk about other things after I finish eating... crunch..."

Fusu: "..."

Fusu's face is full of lovelessness, his son is not as important as eating sugarcane, is it?

Qin Mo also smiled at the side, and it really was that foodie Zulong.

In fact, the sugarcane of this era is not as sweet as imagined, at least not as sweet as the sugarcane of later generations.

It is incomparable with honey, that is, it is sweeter than light caramel, only better than the novel taste!

crunch--

Qin Mo took a bite of the sugar cane, chewed the juice and thought to himself: [Now that we have sugar cane, maybe we can make white sugar. 】

[Didn't it mean that one nitrate, two sulfonates and three charcoals can be sentenced to six and a half years if you add some sugar? 】

[Presumably it can increase the power of black powder... right? 】

……

Later, the army camped and rested outside Zhecheng, while Qin Mo, Yingzheng and Zhu Wenwu entered Zhecheng surrounded by their own soldiers.

Fusu was already in the city, and tidied up a house that originally belonged to the gentry, and let Yingzheng live in it.

After Yingzheng washed away the dust, he called all civil and military officials to discuss how to seize the remaining plain towns on the land of Panyu.

Now that the Allied Forces of the Six Nations have been defeated, almost the entire army has been wiped out. In the plain towns occupied by the Six Nations, there are only a small number of second-line defenders left.

Moreover, if there were no accidents, the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family had escaped, and they must shrink their troops and re-accumulate their strength. They might have to abandon the towns on the plain and continue to the south.

Even, the soldiers and horses of the six countries of Fulou Kingdom will be shrunk back, giving up the occupied Fulou Kingdom, and going to defend the south.

Because the uncles and nephews of the Xiang family first restored Yangyu and Xiou countries in the south, which was their base camp, and the Chuhuai king Xiongxin they supported also established their capital there!

The terrain of Baiyue Land is a narrow and long "Pie" area, within which the "Pie" is wrapped is Chu Nan, and outside the "Pie", there is a long coastline of the same shape.

The vertical section of the big "丿" can actually be classified as Dongyue. They once accepted the rule of Yue State, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Looking at it from top to bottom, there is still Minyue Kingdom, which is half of the country occupied by the Great Qin Dynasty.

From the Minyue Kingdom down, it is the Fulou Kingdom!
Further down from Fulou Kingdom is the corner of Da'Pie', which is also the territory of Panyu Kingdom where Qin Mo is currently located.

Further west of Panyu Kingdom is South Vietnam in the usual sense.

Next to Panyu State is Yangyu State, and the two may have some relationship.

To the west of Yangyu Kingdom is the Xiou Kingdom, and further west there is the Luoyue Kingdom, which has already begun to include the territory of the later generations of Vietnam, and the ethnicity and appearance of the people have begun to change.

It's far away... In short, Yangyu and Xiou are the basic disk locations of the Xiang family's uncle and nephew!

As for the Panyu Kingdom and the Fulou Kingdom...they are all old clans from the other five kingdoms. They didn't want to squeeze together with the Xiang family, and they took the initiative to divide their troops to attack, and wanted to find a place to establish a country.

The Panyu Kingdom, which is at the corner of the big '丿', is the most unlucky country. It borders the Xiang family's forces and is attacked by the old clans of the Five Kingdoms.

As soon as Qin Mo led the Yue people to revolt in the rear, the Panyu King returned to suppress the rebellion and the interior was empty. The old clans of the Five Kingdoms took advantage of the vacancy and entered.

If the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family shrink their troops, then Daqin can take advantage of the trend and easily take part of the land of Fulou Kingdom into his pocket.

At this moment, what the monarchs and ministers want to discuss is how many troops need to be dispatched to recover and defend each town?
If the troops are scattered to recover, will the Xiang family's nephew and uncle take the opportunity to defeat some of them after shrinking the troops?

"Everyone expresses their own opinions... crunching... speak freely."

As if he couldn't get tired of eating, Ying Zheng kept gnawing sugarcane, and said to Zhu Wenwu who was also gnawing sugarcane.

Zhu Wenwu nodded, smashed the sugarcane in his mouth and looked at Qin Mo and Fusu.

Qin Mo nodded to Fusu, signaling him to come first.

Supporting Su with his hands, he spit out the bagasse in his mouth, cleared his throat, and said to Ying Zheng: "Father, according to my son's opinion, the towns on the plains that are closer to Yangyu Kingdom should send more soldiers and horses to the front." To seize it, in order to prevent it from being attacked by the Xiang family forces in the territory of Yangyu, it is best to mix it with [-] cavalry."

"In this way, there are soldiers and horses to defend the city, and there are also soldiers and horses to provide emergency support to the towns on the plains attacked!"

Ying Zheng nodded, this is the safest way.

However, Yingzheng pondered for a moment, but said: "If only Panyu and Yangyu are at the border, [-] soldiers and horses will be divided, and the remaining [-] soldiers will be responsible for occupying the remaining towns of Panyu and part of the Fulou Kingdom." The task of the town."

"The boldness of the Fulou Kingdom to intercept, and the boldness of our Daqin supply ship, if we know that our town is occupied by the Six Kingdoms Army, only a small number of soldiers and horses occupy it, we will definitely send troops to regain the lost ground."

"My son thinks, how should we deal with it?"

Fusu said without hesitation: "Old General Wang Ben still has [-] troops in Tieshan. Tieshan is not far from the border with Fulou Kingdom. He is ordered to take the initiative to attract troops from Fulou Kingdom."

"It's hard to take care of Lou Kingdom like this. I must have no intentions. After regaining the lost territory, it's better to guard the remaining territory first!"

Ying Zheng gnawed at the sugar cane and nodded repeatedly. The [-] soldiers and horses left behind by Tieshan were purposely left to deal with Fulou Kingdom and to cope with the weakness of the envoy.

Now, Panyu is already in his pocket, but he can use the soldiers and horses left behind by Tieshan to tie up the country of Lou!
