Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 541 Time passes

The father-son relationship between Fusu and the First Emperor was extremely contradictory.

On the one hand, Fusu did not approve of the various behaviors, thoughts and policies of the First Emperor. On the other hand, Fusu was eager to be affirmed by the First Emperor.

After the First Emperor took the initiative to change, the conflict between father and son has actually melted away rapidly, but it is impossible for people to suddenly become close.

The first emperor's original intention was to recruit a strong man, but behind his actions, he gradually recognized and affirmed Fusu's ability.

And Fusu...doesn't he want his father to recognize him in a true sense?

As a result, the First Emperor's plan to recruit Zhuangding succeeded without any obstacles.

Compared to the cunning and lazy Zhao Si, Fusu still has many advantages, including honesty, obedience, and decent abilities. The most important thing is that he is not as thick-skinned as Zhao Si.

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to endure...

Naturally, it was unimpeded, and the political affairs of Da Qin were tilted towards Fusu after Zhao Si went on vacation.

The new population may seem like a lot, but it’s actually not that much.

Even if it has not been fully implemented in the true sense, it is still quite difficult to change the thinking of the old official system.

Yes... Even if the appetites of the northern and southern frontiers are satisfied, the appetites of the aviation and trade military government cannot be satisfied.

After all, they used to have the power of life and death. Although this power did not come from them, the abandonment of the old Qin laws also meant that their power was greatly weakened.

It is not that the scope of power has been weakened, but the intensity of punishment has been weakened.

Before the New Qin Law was promulgated, the Slavery Abolition Order had already been promulgated. However, except for the Guanzhong area, the implementation in the Guanzhong area was not as smooth as expected.

This means that the registered population of Da Qin will increase significantly.

However, the First Emperor came back, and the new Qin laws were successfully promulgated, and the old Qin laws were abandoned.

To put it bluntly, the local governments do not have the confidence to react to the central government, at least not yet, but the abolition of slavery has really harmed local interests.

After all, Zhao Si is not the leader, so his wait-and-see attitude is understandable.

After the court meeting publicly promulgated the new Qin laws, the Qin State used its complete post system and excellent message transmission speed to convey Da Qin's new decrees to all counties in Da Qin in less than a month.

In such a sensitive period, no one knows whether the slow progress of abolition will become a trigger.

The Old Qin Code was one of the greatest sources of confidence for local officials and aristocratic families.

In fact, the Aviation and Trade Military Government has long been drooling over so many newcomers.

Moreover, it was the Taisun who took the lead and the First Emperor personally passed the New Qin Law.

In just one month, the total new population of various counties and counties has increased by five million.

And those who can't understand the change in the direction of the wind will at least follow the trend. As for those who can't even follow the trend...then their death will be in vain.

However, just the fact that the old Qin laws were abandoned and the new Qin laws were promulgated was enough to shock the world!
At the same time, the abolitionist movement in various parts of the country also progressed rapidly after the First Emperor returned to Xianyang.

It's just that compared to the expansion of the war in Longxi and Lingnan, the Hangzhou Trade Army has eaten the first crab, so it really has no competitors or pressure.

Of course, it is just that the notice has arrived, and the time it will take for it to be truly implemented, recognized and accepted by the people, and the New Qin Law will be implemented smoothly will not be too short.

The actual population of Da Qin is 30 million, but of these 30 million people, more than 20 million are from the Central Plains.

of course……

However, there is not much that Fusu can do, mainly because Da Qin's current national policy has been set, and compared with previous national policies, Fusu himself also approves of Da Qin's current policy, except for occasionally popping up to want to On the idea of ​​improving the treatment of brothers and sisters in the clan, Fusu, the First Emperor, and even Zhao Si reached a rare agreement among three generations on national policies.
As the saying goes, brothers working together are stronger than gold!
When the political goals of the ruler of an empire, the successor, and the next successor are highly unified, the result is that no one can question or waver in the promotion of policies.

Therefore, compared with the Guanzhong area where the administration is efficient and clean, the pace of local politics is obviously a cycle slower. Of course, the new news notices were posted in a timely manner. At least, Xianyang has not issued a decree. It has been a full cycle. It took a year to reach the local level.

At the very least, these five million people cannot satisfy the appetites of the northern and southern frontiers.

Now that the old Qin laws have been abolished and the new Qin laws have been promulgated, Da Qin has new ideological guidance...

Above the court, the death of the old officials has become a foregone conclusion. However, the centipede will not die. Without launching a major purge, it will obviously take a long time to completely change the thinking of the officials in the administrative system. a period of time.

So the vigorous reform movement officially began...

But this does not mean that there is less land for the aviation and trade military government to expand...

The attitude of the local government was somewhat ambiguous and wait-and-see. After all, strictly speaking, abolition of slaves would also weaken the mobilization ability of the local government.

Because there was no great purge, the new law did not actually go through blood and fire to build majesty after it was promulgated.

Similarly, the new Qin law requires the head of Guizhou to be the basis, rather than the old method of controlling the people, and it is quite difficult to change the thinking.

In fact, this is indeed the case...

Abolition of slavery...

The abolition of slavery was issued by Zhao Si, not by the First Emperor. Since the matter was serious, there was no possibility of turning it around.

They were all officials, and those with low political IQs could not survive. There were many who understood clearly. Therefore, the originally slow progress of the abolition of slavery after the promulgation of the New Qin Law can be described as rapid.

Suddenly, the world was in turmoil...

Judging from the current territory of Da Qin, the Central Plains, which accounts for a large number of people, is actually less than one-third of the total area of ​​Da Qin.

Da Qin's expansion of its territory was not limited to its northern and southern borders.

The attitude of local officials is ambiguous and political progress is slow. Correspondingly, the powerful and aristocratic families who raise slaves in the local area naturally have some shirk.

Although the new Qin laws relaxed restrictions, the people easily accepted the relaxation of restrictions, but it was difficult for officials to break away from their old roles in a short period of time.

The entire offshore area, Wanwan, Silla, Baekje, Benzi, and the offshore islands of later generations were basically planted by the Qin Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, the entire southeastern offshore islands are all within the territory of Da Qin.

Putting aside the fact that many islands are still in an awkward situation, it is not a problem for Fuso alone to accommodate a population of several million.

The Aviation and Trade Military Government has mentioned it more than once. As long as they can recruit a population of three million, they can use their heads to guarantee that they will complete the initial development of Fusang and Wanwan and other large islands within five years, and guarantee that they will complete the development of Fusang and Wanwan within twenty years. These three islands expanded into fertile overseas lands.

Believe it or not, regardless of whether he believed it or not, Zhao Si was still suppressed.

It's not that Zhao Si doesn't pay attention to the Aviation and Trade Army. It's actually that the current combat effectiveness of the Aviation and Trade Army is sufficient, and the overseas system can also operate effectively. In contrast, Zhao Si is not in a hurry to develop overseas. His emphasis on overseas development is mainly focused on technological updates and iterations.

At present, Da Qin's navigation technology is a bit embarrassing. It is very capable of fighting, but it is not advanced enough. At least it cannot support a huge colonial system at the moment.

In this way, it would be better to gather together and completely digest the inland plate to form a whole.

After all, Qin is a land-based country, at least in the short term.

Five million people is a lot, but not enough, because at this point, slave liberation has come to an end.

A total of more than 7 million slaves have been freed. This is only done once. After all, this is reality, not a game. The population outside the household registration is not infinitely refreshed.

It is possible that another one or two million people can be created through the slave liberation act and the investigation of illegal households, but that's it. The fattest wave is gone. In the future, population growth can only be achieved by encouraging births.

There is currently no population pressure in Great Qin. To be precise, it is estimated that Great Qin will not have population pressure in the next fifty years.

Grain production is simply too high, and most importantly, there is significant room for improvement in farming technology.

When intensive farming is developed to its extreme, the average grain yield across the country can be increased by one to two hundred kilograms.

Coupled with the overwhelming yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes...

Qin itself can support a population of at least 200 million without excessively reducing the quality of life of its citizens.

If we consider our overseas plans...

A population of 30 million is not even a fraction of Zhao Si's plan.

Guanzhong was full of joy because of the opening of the wine market for seven days, and the people of Lao Qin cheered.

Throughout the Qin Dynasty, the abolition of slavery was also in progress, and the new code of laws had been spread to every county in the world.

Everything in Great Qin was prosperous, but that was not the case in the Peacock Kingdom.

Li Xin is good at using surprise soldiers and is a little eager for quick success, but that is the Li Xin of the past.

After the battle against Chu, Li Xin's fighting style could only be described as steady, disgustingly steady.

Facing both the dirty people and Ji Zi North Korea, Li Xin was able to play with the opponent until they withdrew their troops while taking advantage and taking the absolute initiative.

What's more, the maritime expedition against the Maurya Kingdom was at a disadvantage when the Qin Dynasty's strategy was at a disadvantage?

In fact, the Peacock Kingdom did not know anything about Da Qin.

The King of Giant Chariots is a fatuous king, and the Peacock Kingdom is about to decline, but the decline of a country is never due to the lack of wise men.

In fact, the more a country is on the verge of decline, the greater the proportion of wise and capable ministers will be born. It's just that the treacherous and sycophant are in power, the ruler is fatuous, and the people cannot be used.

The King of Jucha was confused and insisted on a military contest with Da Qin. His ministers could not disobey, but some truly talented people still emerged.

First of all, the envoy of the State of Qin was protected and was not executed by the furious Jucha King.

Secondly, the Peacock Kingdom is also actively searching for information about Qin. The boss wants to start a war, regardless of whether it can be fought or not. At this point, it can only make strategic preparations.

However, there was too little information about the Qin State. Some officials were indeed surprised by Qin's mobilization and expeditionary capabilities, and realized that the Qin State was definitely an easy target for the Peacock Kingdom.

However, compared to these words of advice, what the King of Jucha prefers to hear is that the Qin State overestimates its capabilities and can defeat it with just a finger, and its so-called maritime advantage is minimal.

It's one thing to collect the intelligence, it's another thing whether it can reach the ears of King Ju Che. It's another thing whether King Ju Che likes to hear it. Whether King Ju Car believes the truth or not is the key.

Obviously, the King of Giant Cars is more willing to believe that the Peacock Kingdom is invincible.

Sri Rao was put on the shelf in this situation.

In fact, Sri Luo was a commander with certain abilities. The initial strategic plan proposed by Sri Luo was to wait for the Qin State to take the initiative, abandon the coastal defense line, show the enemy weakness, lure the enemy deeper, focus on the land advantage, and finally annihilate it. Of.

In fact, this is indeed the most correct strategic deployment. Unless something unexpected happens, with Qin's 40,000-strong navy, what if it takes another three to five years at sea? The Mauryan Kingdom will give up its coastal defense line as soon as possible, which is completely acceptable for a land country.

Once Qin gave up its sea advantage for landing operations, it meant giving up its greatest advantage. The Peacock Kingdom could completely annihilate Qin's navy in one fell swoop.

Just 40,000 people...

However, the strategy was good, but Sri Ra's words did not count.

After he had made strategic arrangements, some people had already made slanderous remarks to King Juche, criticizing his overly conservative strategy, impeaching him for being self-respecting and passive in treating the king's orders.

This seems to be the case even for the giant car king. The opponent only has 40,000 people, so you voluntarily give up the coastal route?

People are traveling thousands of miles, but you are fighting at home, and there are 40,000 people at home. You are outnumbered, so you choose to be a tortoise?
Under the pressure of the giant chariot king, Sri Luo could only change his strategy.

He still did not choose to take the initiative, because he knew that Qin's only advantage lay in the sea, and he was even less likely to abandon his advantage. In order to deal with the accountability of the King of Giant Cars, Sri Luo firmly defended the land defense line and made various preparations. A large-scale launch of ships into the sea began.

As a response, the giant car king gave the illusion that he was actively seeking battle.

The second is to lure Qin's navy into offshore operations and try to give full play to its land advantages.

Third, it is convenient to retreat. As long as they can't run far and have an army to support them, no matter how powerful the Qin Navy is, it will not be able to cause large-scale destruction. This way, the mobility of the Peacock Kingdom's small navy can be preserved.

However, when a commander has to deal with both war and politics, failure on the battlefield has become inevitable.

In fact, this is indeed the case...

Sri Luo couldn't hide it from King Ju Che. In other words, King Ju Che didn't care at all whether Sri Luo had deceived him. What he cared about was that Sri Luo had made no progress for three months. The impeachment of the traitor...

Sri Luo was sent by the King of Jucha to press him back to the royal city in a prison car to question his guilt. At the same time, he changed his commander. At the same time, the King of Jucha once again asked the generals to destroy the invading navy of Qin as soon as possible.

Under the pressure of the King of Chariots, all of Sri Ra's plans collapsed.

There are not many ships in the Peacock Kingdom, and the Qin army is wandering on the sea.

If you want to ask for a war, you can only send troops to sea, or even far seas...

The strategic situation has not changed, but Qin clearly has the upper hand on the sea battlefield.

But now, the Peacock Kingdom has given up its advantages and entered what Qin is best at.
