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

Chapter 149 The first thing to do is to chase after the Xiang family's uncle and nephew!
Qin Mo and Zhao Gao led the four fire-headed troops, followed Ying Zheng out of the courtyard of the master bedroom, and headed straight for the back garden of the house.

Fusu and Xia Wuqi smiled wryly and had no choice but to follow behind.

A group of people came to the back garden and found a spacious place. Zhao Gao and the four fire-headed troops, guarding Yingzheng, Fusu and Xia Wuqiu, hid behind a rockery.

"Block your ears and open your mouth wide, this will reduce the shock of the sound waves..."

Qin Mo ordered, lit a thunderbolt with a torch, threw it a few feet away, and then crawled behind the rockery with his head in his arms.

Rumbling--

A huge explosion sounded, as if the ground under his feet shook for a moment.

shhhhh--

The prefabricated fragments of the iron shell of the thunderbolt flew in all directions, destroying the surrounding flowers, plants and trees, flying flowers and falling leaves all over the ground.

"Gudu~!"

All the people behind the rock swallowed in unison.

Xia Wuqiu and Zhao Gao plucked their ears vigorously, feeling that the method taught by Qin Mo didn't seem to be very useful.

Yingzheng and Fusu were overwhelmed with surprise, and quickly walked out of the rockery to check.

On the ground where the thunderbolt exploded, there was actually a big hole in the ground, and it was scorched black within three or four steps.

On a mulberry tree five or six steps away, there are prefabricated fragments embedded in the trunk.

The penetration of fragments is not too deep, but it is conceivable that if it is replaced by a living person wearing iron armor, most of them can break through the armor and injure him.

If it is leather armor, rattan armor or no armor, it will inevitably be seriously injured, or even killed on the spot!

The original thunderbolt definitely does not have such power. When facing a person wearing iron armor, unless it explodes under the feet or beside him, he will be safe and sound as long as he is two or three steps away.

At most, he was shocked by the shock wave, shaking his head and then fighting fiercely!

"This little thunderbolt with white sucrose added is so terrifyingly powerful?"

"If white sucrose is added to the Big Bang bomb, and one bullet is shot out, wouldn't it be possible to blow up a group, or even a hundred teams..."

After watching for a while, the father and son finally couldn't help being surprised and sighed again and again.

Especially Ying Zheng asked Qin Mo curiously, "What the hell is that white sucrose?"

Qin Mo took out a small bamboo tube, handed it to Ying Zheng and said, "This is the only white cane sugar left, your Majesty may wish to taste it, it is very sweet."

Yingzheng opened the stopper of the bamboo tube and poured some out in the palm of his hand. Seeing that it was as white as snow, it was very eye-catching, and smelling sweet and tangy, he couldn't help moving his index finger, and stuffed it into his mouth with his backhand.

"Hmm~!"

Yingzheng Danfeng's eyes lit up, and he let out a satisfying nasal sound. After tasting it for a long time, he swallowed it, and praised: "Compared to honey, it's not bad at all, and it has a different flavor."

As he spoke, he stuck his finger into the bamboo tube, dipped some more into his mouth and sucked it.

That appearance instantly reminded Qin Mo of eating Eight Immortals tea powder when he was young. He loved it but was reluctant to eat it all at once...

Ying Zheng ate white sugar, looked at the four Huotou soldiers and said, "The four of you have made great contributions in assisting Qin Qing in the trial production of white cane sugar. Each of them was awarded a third-level title and transferred to the Shaofu Gunpowder Supervisor."

Regarding the production of black gunpowder, it was the top secret of Daqin, and a gunpowder supervisor was specially set up under the Shaofu, directly under the jurisdiction of Yingzheng, even the prince Fusu had no right to intervene.

Including the thunderbolt bombs used in the army today, the gunpowder was also transported from the territory of Daqin, and then filled with iron shells produced by Tieshan. Although it is troublesome, it is kept secret...

The hundred generals of the Huotou army were overjoyed, and immediately led three of their subordinates, bowing to the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward~!!!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand to let them accept the courtesy, and then asked Qin Mo, "Can sugar itself have the power of thunder and fire?"

Qin Mo shook his head and explained: "Sucrose itself has no power, even if it is made into white sucrose like this, it is only a kind of food without gunpowder, so there is no need to guard against it."

"Just like that charcoal, it can be seen everywhere in the Great Qin Dynasty, and it is used by wealthy and common people's homes."

"Because charcoal can be used as gunpowder, people cannot be prohibited from using it..."

Ying Zheng suddenly nodded and said, "That's good."

Qin Mo went on to say: "I will write down the method of making white sucrose later, let the Huotou army cook more, and then order the craftsman camp to dismantle the thunderbolts in the army, mix them with white sugar and refill them."

Ying Zheng naturally agreed: "With the increased power of Thunderbolt, the battle in Baiyue will be a little easier."

"In my opinion, Baiyue may be included in the Great Qin territory before the New Year..."

Qin Mo and Fusu immediately raised their hands together and said, "I (son) will definitely do my best to unify China and return it to my Great Qin!"

Xia Wuqie and Zhao Gao also said: "I congratulate Your Majesty, you have made great achievements for the future!"

The three of them were praising Ying Zheng, when footsteps suddenly came from a distance, and soon they saw Wen Wu, each with their swords and swords in their hands.

It seems that they all heard the explosion of the thunderbolt and thought that something happened!
When Zhu Wenwu saw Ying Zheng, Qin Mo and the others, he couldn't help being stunned, and then hurriedly put down their swords.

Feng Jie quickly walked up to Ying Zheng, raised his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened here? Why is there a thunderbolt?"

Zhou Qingchen cast his eyes on Qin Mo, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Prime Minister Qin did something again?"

Qin Mo: "..."

What's up with this old official fan recently?
Why are you staring at me?
However, it seems that Zhou Qingchen is not the only one who thinks this way, all the civil servants also focused their eyes on Qin Mo's face, all of them looked suspicious.

Including the generals, they also looked at Qin Mo with reproach: [My great general, let's not play with His Majesty with thunderbolts, it will kill people! 】

Qin Mo smacked his lips, took a thunderbolt from Huotoujun, and explained to Zhu Wenwu: "The thunderbolt has been slightly improved, just let your majesty see the effect, you don't need to think about it."

"Since it's here, everyone, let's take a look at the effect!"

As he spoke, he took out the fire bag from the leather bag on his waist, pulled off the cover and blew out the open flame, lit the Thunderbolt ammunition twister and threw it vigorously.

The movements were coherent and done in one go, and it was too late for Zhou Qingchen to stop him.

Civil officials: "..."

Why are you still addicted to playing?
Show off that you have the privilege of carrying a sword in front of His Majesty!
The military officers were also speechless, they could only secretly sigh that Ying Zheng had a lot of trust in Qin Mo.

This is probably the only person in the world who can play Thunderball in front of Ying Zheng!

Boom--! ! !
When the civil servants and military generals were slandering in their hearts, the thunderbolt had already exploded, and the loud sound that made people tremble, scared everyone who had no psychological construction.

Several older civil servants almost fell to the ground when their legs gave way.

Zhou Qingchen, who was all focused on Qin Mo, was shocked by the explosion sound that was several times stronger than expected, and trembled all over, and then screamed while holding his heart...

Seeing Xia Wuqi, he hurriedly took out the silver needle from his medicine box and stepped forward to help with treatment!
……

……

The army was stationed outside Zhecheng for a few more days.

During the period, the thunderbolt was transformed with the army craftsman battalion.Go to earn mixed infantry from other towns in the Zhecheng Plain. After completing the statistics and dividing the fields, a small number of soldiers are left to garrison, and they all rush to Zhecheng to meet up.

Then, according to the policy of supporting the Soviet Union, the army divided its troops and acted.

Among them, [-] southern Chu infantry, [-] mixed cavalry, and [-] guard cavalry, a total of [-] soldiers and horses, with Qin Mo as the general and Ying Zheng as the supervisor, went to recover the kingdoms of South Vietnam. neighboring plains towns.

He also ordered Meng Yi, who was staying at Iron Mountain, to lead most of the warships to cooperate from the coast to attack the land of South Vietnam!
After the [-] soldiers and horses were separated, the remaining [-] mixed infantry were all given to Fusu, and Chunyu Yue, who had not yet arrived, was the supervisor of the army, and a group of new and old generals escorted him to go Recover the plain towns and towns adjacent to Fulou Kingdom, as well as some plain towns in Fulou Kingdom.

And together with Wang Ben, who led a small number of warships, attack the lands of Fulou and Minyue back and forth!
This time, Fusu truly led the army alone. He wanted to show his strength, but found that as expected, the Xiang family's uncle and nephew had already shrunk their troops, and recalled all the soldiers from the remaining six countries to South Vietnam. lair.

The towns on the plains of Panyu and the towns on the plains of the Fulou Kingdom that were previously occupied by the armies of the Six Nations have all been abandoned.

Therefore, he did not fight at all along the way, and devoted all his energy to appease and rescue the Yue people.

Because, when the armies of the Six Nations withdrew, they looted all the grain, and trampled and destroyed the freshly stalked summer rice in the fields, leaving the Kaihuayue people who were suffering deeply, and had to go into the deep mountains and old forests to fight with each other. Tribal Yue people compete for wild resources!
The grain and grass carried by the Fusu army was quickly consumed in order to save the Kaihua Yue people and let them return to farming and production.

Fortunately, old Fan Zeng gave him advice, awakened Fusu, marched all the way west, and came to the junction with Jiujiang County in southern Chu, and asked the county officials of Jiujiang County to raise food for him.

The terrain of Jiujiang County is long and narrow from north to south, with Changsha County to the west and Minyue, Fulou, and Panyu to the east.

Since Yingzheng's royal driver landed in Panyu from the sea, the [-] accompanying army responded to their needs, and the uprising Yue people responded to their needs, Jiujiang County officials have been handling the transportation.

Grain and grass from all over the country of Daqin, as well as armored equipment in Guanzhong, have also been transported to Jiujiang County, and they are all piled up in the county and county warehouses of Jiujiang County.

Fusu wrote a request for food, stamped it with the prince's seal and the general's seal, and sent it to the nearest county town of Jiujiang County. Within two days, he got a whole hundred ships of supplies.

Moreover, the county magistrate personally escorted them, and when they met, they said: [There is not enough, there is as much as you want, Daqin has nothing else in the past two years, just a lot of food! 】

Fusu was also not polite, and not only left the food and grass, but also left a hundred supply ships, and began to march towards the Fulou Kingdom along the waterway, occupying the towns on the plain of the Fulou Kingdom that were abandoned by the Six Kingdoms Army.

At the same time, they dispatched casual travelers disguised as business travelers to the plain towns ruled by the Fulou court.

And, to send the so-called envoys of the gods to the mountain tribes ruled by the Fulou court.

Whether it is a business traveler or a messenger of the gods, they are frantically inciting the Yue people of Fulou Kingdom to rebel.

He even directly instigated the army of Fulou Kingdom, encouraging them to learn from the original Panyu Army and follow the gods to overthrow Fulou's rule!

Therefore, Fusu soldiers and horses not only did not fight a single battle, but instead had an auxiliary army composed of young and strong Yue people from Fulou Kingdom...

……

Fusu's side was progressing smoothly, and Qin Mo and Yingzheng's [-] troops were also making rapid progress.

Qin Mo didn't even have to worry about the relief and relief.

Because, after the Xiang family's uncle and nephew escaped from the Zhecheng Plain, they also followed his marching route and fled to the neighboring Yangyu country or South Vietnam.

With Xiang Yu's habit of pitting soldiers and slaughtering cities at every turn, naturally he would not leave Dingkou to Tyranny. When the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms abandoned their defense, they not only snatched everything that could be robbed and destroyed everything that could be destroyed under his orders, but also destroyed everything that could be destroyed. Kill all Dingkou or bury them alive...

The towns on the plain that Qin Mo took over were almost like ghosts and monsters, and the herds of beasts re-occupied the plain in a short period of time!
The Liangjiazi soldiers who were born in the local area all cried bitterly when they saw the tragedy in their hometown.

Then, they gritted their teeth and speeded up their march. The army arrived at the border with Yangyu Kingdom with great speed, trying to catch up with the Six Nations Army and bite them to death.

At that time, the uncles and nephews of the Xiang family and the surviving old clans of the five countries were also on the border of Yangyu, waiting for the soldiers and horses to be withdrawn from the territory of Fulou country one after another.

But after monitoring the horses in Panyu and sending back the news that Qin Mo led the army to kill them, they immediately ignored the troops who hadn't withdrawn, and just ran away.

In vain, they threw Qin Mo to several towns in the plains of Yangyu country, and before the food was taken away, the crops were not destroyed in time, and Dingkou was not slaughtered in time, they just forcibly took away the young and strong man...

"The nobles from the six countries said that as long as Erlang goes to war with them and captures a head, he can get a title, a field, a big house, a servant, and white rice every year."

"The sons believed it, so they all joined them, but they never thought... that when the gods arrived, they would run away in fright."

"We village elders, seeing that the Six Kingdoms are not far away, persuaded the sons not to go with them, but the sons who did not want to leave were immediately killed by them."

"In the end, all the young men were forcibly taken away by soldiers from the Six Kingdoms like slaves!"

In the plain of Yangyu Kingdom, several elderly Yue people prostrated themselves in front of Qin Mo and Ying Zheng's horse, telling how their son was deceived by the Xiang family's uncle and nephew, and then forcibly taken away.

Ying Zheng and Qin Mo looked at each other in dismay, and were speechless for a moment.

This is really ironic. The old clans of the Six Kingdoms called Tyranny Qin, but now they use Tyrant Qin's military achievements to bestow titles and drive Yue people to use them for their own use.

And the drive failed, and he even played a game of forced abduction!
"You clan elders, please get up."

Yingzheng raised his hand to help the clan elders who were lying on the ground to stand up, and said: "Now the Yue people in Panyu have been liberated, and the old and weak, women and children live and work in peace and contentment. I wonder if you Yue people in Yangyu are willing to join the emperor?"

The clan elders nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! I am willing to submit to the Sun God Emperor..."

Before Qin Mo led the army to arrive, like Fusu, he had already dispatched Yue soldiers with strong military law and thinking to sneak into the territory of Yangyu country and spread demagogic remarks.

Therefore, these clan elders had known about the situation of the Yue people in Panyu for a long time, so when they told the story just now, they also called Qin Mo and Ying Zheng by gods.

"Since you are willing to submit to the Sun God Emperor, I won't say anything more. There will be soldiers and horses stationed on this plain, and I will give you high-yield grain seeds, pass on their farming techniques, and teach you how to make farm tools... Have a good time."

After Ying Zheng put down his words, he and Qin Mo continued to lead the army on their way.

The clan elders were overjoyed and grateful, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground again, shouting thanks to the Sun God Emperor.

Ying Zheng smacked his lips speechlessly, and asked the guards to help them up again and send them home.

However, the clan elders were sure that this army was really here to liberate them, but they were unwilling to leave, and asked anxiously: "The gods are going to attack those brutal armies of the Six Nations. If our son is forced by the army of the Six Nations? What about joining the battle?"

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, and exchanged a glance with Qin Mo.

Now that he has participated in the battle, he must be defeated. At most, he will be recruited after he is defeated.

Just like the counter-insurgency soldiers and horses led by King Panyu back then!
"Let us follow in the army. If we fight against the armies of the six countries in the future, we can also persuade our own village, Erlang, to surrender."

"Yes, yes, even if you risk your life, you must persuade the sons and daughters to surrender."

"My sons and daughters should not work for the armies of the six countries, but should fight for the gods..."

Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't speak, the clan elders became even more anxious, and offered to go out with the army one after another.

The army of gods in front of them is really too elite. They are afraid that the sons and daughters of their village will be forced to join the war by the armies of the six countries, and their lives will be lost in vain and become the souls of the sword!
Ying Zheng looked at Qin Mo and asked, "What do Ai Qing think?"

When marching and fighting, he has always followed Qin Mo's opinion and perfectly played the role of supervising the army.

Qin Mo raised his hand and said, "It's very feasible, we can organize them into the Huotou army, and it will be of great use in time."

Ying Zheng turned to look at the anxious clan elders and said, "In that case, let's go out with the army."

After finishing speaking, he said to the imperial guard: "Send them to the rear army and join the Huotou army."

"Here!"

The imperial guards bowed their hands to accept the order, and led the joyous clan elders to follow the marching ranks to the rear army.

Ying Zheng watched them leave, and said quietly: "The uncle and nephew of the Xiang family escaped resolutely. Most likely they wanted to flee directly to the territory of Xiou Kingdom, and threw Yangyu Kingdom to Daqin to deal with it, so as to gain a breathing space."

"Aiqing thinks, should we continue to pursue the Xiang family's uncle and nephew, or annex Yangyu first?"

I thought that after the Xiang family's uncle and nephew reduced their forces, they would resist the Qin army in the territory of Panyu, and even harass the plain towns occupied by Daqin.

Therefore, according to the strategy of Fusu, the army along the way came with a total of [-] elites.

But the decisiveness of the Xiang family's uncle and nephew was unexpected, and they wanted to throw Yangyu country to Daqin to deal with.

I'm afraid that when old Fan Zeng advised Fusu, he didn't expect that the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family would have such a trick.

If the uncles and nephews of the Xiang family really brought a large number of men from Yangyu to the territory of Xiou, and if they added the men of Xiou under their rule, then they would have an army of Yue people in their hands.

Moreover, the Yue army was stimulated by military merits. With a little training and arming, it can be a usable soldier, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the armies of the six countries.

If Daqin didn't care, they would really have a chance to breathe, and they might not be able to take down the entire Xiou Kingdom and gain a firm foothold.

Conversely, if Daqin pursued them, it would be okay, then the Yangyu Congress would have a chance to breathe, and the Yangyu Kingdom would definitely have to reorganize its army and seize the lost territory... It is also extremely troublesome.

The uncle and nephew of the Xiang family are betting that Daqin will not miss the opportunity to annex Yangyu country!
"From my point of view, we should pursue the Xiang family's uncles and nephews first, otherwise, they will undoubtedly be more difficult to deal with in Xiou country than in Yangyu country!"

Qin Mo pondered for a moment, then gave an answer.
