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

Chapter 549 Great Qin five years later! (season finale!)
Twenty thousand troops of the Qin Dynasty came to the capital of the Peacock King.

There are only two choices before the giant car king.

Either fight or make peace.

There are also two options for fighting. One is to choose to go out of the city to fight in the field, and the other is to slowly plan for it and wait for teams from all over the place to encircle and follow behind.

Li Xin was ready to fight with the Peacock King in the garrison.

It is impossible to attack the city. This is the capital of the Peacock Kingdom. The most Li Xin can do is show off his power nearby. Once the city is attacked, doubling his troops and horses will probably have to be done here.

But it is obvious that the Peacock Kingdom still has an absolute advantage.

Li Xin had no backup, and was once again facing an enemy in the hinterland. However, the capital of the Maurya Kingdom only had elite soldiers and horses as many as Li Xin. It also had a broad base of people, and it was backed by a fortified city...

But what Li Xin didn't expect was that when the army came to the city, the originally arrogant giant car king actually chose peace talks!
……

"Li Xin's army came to the capital of the Maurya Kingdom...the Maurya Kingdom made a truce and signed an alliance!"

Wang Jian heard the sound and nodded... He agreed with Zhao Si's talk. He felt that Zhao Si was growing rapidly, but at the same time he was a little annoyed.

"Besides, what the old general said is nice, but everyone knows that there is only one Xiang Yan in the entire Chu State." Zhao Si had a smile on his face.

"If there was a Xiang Yan in the Peacock Kingdom, it would be enough to make Li Xin never come back."

Human lives, ships, troops, food and fodder...

In other words, in fact, from the moment the giant car king bowed his head and chose peace talks, whether it was a conspiracy or a delaying strategy, it was already decided from this moment on.

"How long did this war last? It lasted for two years!"

The Maurya Kingdom was the oldest empire, and it was at the end of the dynasty. Although the Qin soldiers were fighting away from home, their elite soldiers were well-equipped and had high morale. The Maurya Kingdom might not be able to win the field battle, but given the favorable location, they might not lose.

"So... once the truce is reached, the rest will fall into place..."

If the king of giant chariots is a capable king and chooses to fight in the field when faced with Li Xin's troops approaching the city, the outcome will still be between the two.

In short, Wang Jian can beat anyone.

The King of Giant Carts may still have the idea of ​​using peace talks to delay the war, and then wait for reinforcements to arrive to completely bury Li Xin's 20,000 soldiers and horses here. To be honest, no matter what kind of speculation for someone like the King of Giant Carts, it is not too much...

"Sometimes, it is also a skill to be able to recognize how bad the enemy is and use rich experience to achieve the greatest results." Zhao Si said with a smile.

"And that's the capital of the country. Even if we are sure of victory, who dares to bet? If we go out to fight in the city, if we fail and the elite is lost, then the siege will turn into a siege!"

Li Xin had no backup, and the Peacock King only had to hold on and send troops to follow him. Instead of fighting head-on, he waited for reinforcements from various places to arrive. Whether Li Xin's 20,000 troops could get out alive was a question.

The ravages of time are becoming more and more severe, not only on the body, but also on the brain, it seems that it is not as clear as before.

But if the giant chariot king is a man who knows how to fight, he only needs to use a few tricks to make Li Xin unable to come back.

Running over first and defeating them are completely different concepts.

"Now that the war has stopped, it's natural to come back." Zhao Si smiled.

But they don't understand Da Qin, but they know how much they have spent in the past two years...

But with such a treacherous act, who would dare to bet that Great Qin would not launch a larger and longer war?
Who in the entire Peacock Kingdom is willing to fight a war in which everyone loses without any benefit?

When Wang Jian heard the sound, he glanced at Zhao Si who was talking eloquently in surprise, patted his head and smiled, as if he was feeling something, then he sighed and said, "In that case, Wang Li will be back soon." "

For specific methods, please refer to Xiang Yan...

Secondly, Li Xin may not be able to win, but the Peacock Kingdom chose not to fight.

"The old general is wrong about this. It's hard to say what kind of person Ju Che King is, but one thing is certain. The moment he opens his mouth to choose peace talks, there will be no more recurrence. This is not to say that Ju Che Wang is so confident..." Zhao Si smiled.

"In this case... it's time to prepare to send an envoy to the Peacock Kingdom!" Zhao Sizhi laughed happily and walked away.

"But who said that the King of Giant Cars is a tough-looking person?" Zhao Si laughed loudly when he heard this.

It's because as long as the King of Giant Cars lets go, all the forces in the entire Peacock Kingdom will force this matter to become a reality.

And this war started because King Ju Che secretly detained Da Qin's envoy and was disrespectful to Da Qin.

"Your Highness is also wrong. The King of Giant Carts can also pretend to be in peace talks and delay the situation. Once repeated, Li Xin is also in danger of overthrowing..." Wang Jian shook his head, thinking that the risks of Li Xin's behavior were not only that.

Li Xin's troops came to the capital, which sounded very powerful and his record was very impressive, but in fact it was not like that.

It's hard to say whether Li Xin beat Wang Jian, but his share of abusers was twice as high as Wang Jian's.

Even the ambitious ones are not willing... because even if they win, they will have no profit. "

"It is true that the Qin Dynasty also spent a lot of money, but only we know how much the Qin Dynasty spent. We have no way of knowing how much the Peacock Kingdom spent on food and logistics. We know that this battle is over, but no one in the Peacock Kingdom knows what the Qin Dynasty still plans to do. How long to fight.

Even if they have people who know the military, they can only guess at Great Qin's expenses, not to mention that Great Qin also has a high yield of food, which will greatly affect their judgment...

To put it bluntly, it’s just a special attack by bastards... Unfortunately, in this era, except for Great Qin, all other countries in the world are indeed bastards in terms of military strength.

Zhao Si didn't deny it when he heard it. There was nothing wrong with what he said.

Zhao Si raised the report in his hand high and then sighed.

He shouldn't be unable to remember these things... He is a man who seeks the country... but he really missed this.

"Sure enough, it's still the same Li Xin..." Zhao Si handed the report to Wang Jian, who was looking at ease beside him.

"It's just a dangerous move. It's just to bully the Peacock Kingdom for not being good at using troops." Wang Jian said casually, not even bothering to report.

It's hard to say how close Li Xin and Wang Jian are to Zhao Si today, but when it comes to experience in abusing food, Wang Jian is definitely not as rich as Li Xin.

Wang Jian looked at Zhao Si's back in silence.

I probably can't help my grandson anymore...

The next day...

The news that Li Xin came to the Mauryan Kingdom and forced the Maurya Kingdom to release the Qin envoys to sign a truce covenant resounded throughout Xianyang.

This is of course due to Zhao Si's fueling the flames. Although those who really know the military know how serious this battle is, ordinary people are the majority in this world.

The troops approached the enemy's capital and forced them to surrender!

As long as it sounds awesome!
The whole Great Qin was relieved except for joy.

This war is finally over.

Yes, this war was very painful for the Peacock Kingdom, and it was also very painful for the Manchu ministers of Qin Dynasty.

Nowadays, it is an indisputable fact that the military of the Qin Dynasty is completely controlled by Zhao Si. Although His Highness the Grand Sun is restrained enough compared to the first emperor Zhao Si, the cost of an expedition of thousands of miles, especially without actual territorial expansion and benefits, who can Don't want to fight.

That is to say, the Daqin family has become rich, and everyone is selling Zhao Si, the great grandson, just to save face.

Of course, most people see this war as nothing more than a battle of wills, with no benefits other than a sigh of relief. However, Zhao Si understands the benefits that will come from defeating the Peacock Kingdom, a country as large as the Qin Dynasty. How big it is, it’s just that there is no need to explain. When trade is completely opened, everyone will know what it means.

On the seventh day after the good news arrived in Xianyang, Zhao Si formally held a court meeting.

Three days later, the First Emperor made a grand sacrifice to heaven and earth to show his martial arts.

On the same day, the Qin envoy officially set off from Xianyang to the Peacock Kingdom.

At home, construction is still in full swing.

The sea route is long, and the results of a victory take longer to show.

Regarding maritime affairs, because the interests are not obvious, the domestic trend still lies in the reshuffle of political forces.

The effects of the reform of old laws are still being demonstrated further.

The ideological transformation of the old officials was not very smooth. The implementation of the New Qin Law and the change of ideas caused many old officials to fall behind. After all, not everyone has such a flexible political stance like Li Xiang.

Therefore, the once oppressed group of new officials received almost all the political legacy of the old officials.

At the end of the forty-fourth year of the First Emperor...

Wang Jian took the initiative to become an official, but Zhao Si failed to retain him three times, so the post of Taiwei was vacant. The grandson Zhao Si supervised military affairs and took charge of the power of Taiwei, so the post of Taiwei was temporarily vacant.

In the same year, Teng, a representative figure of new officials, was promoted to Prime Minister Zuo, becoming the first person under Li Si.

In the forty-fifth year of the First Emperor's reign, the academic examinations officially included all the scholars and were not limited to legal officials.

Suddenly, hundreds of schools of thought were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers.

In the same year, Jizi Korea and the Wei family officially broke apart and went to war.

Also in the same year, Great Qin formally signed an alliance with the Maurya Kingdom, opening up mutual trade regulations, and Great Qin's merchant ships officially passed through the Indian Ocean.

At the same time, due to the gradual maturity of overseas waterways and the fact that Zhao Si did not explicitly prohibit it, some nobles, mainly in seaside cities such as Langya and Penglai, have begun to initially try long-sea trade.

Zhao Si noticed this scene, but did not formulate corresponding laws immediately.

This is an era of expansion and enterprising, as well as an era of construction and labor.

The current main tone is large-scale infrastructure construction. Navigation is not yet mainstream and requires a certain amount of time to grow and develop. The establishment of maritime order requires a certain amount of time to observe and adjust.

The counties and counties of Daqin were engaged in the vigorous Daganteqian... Five years passed by.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the 49th year of the First Emperor...

In the palace... under the pavilion, Zhao Si and the First Emperor sat opposite each other.

The childish slave sat on the stone steps not far away like a dog and endorsed it loudly.

Today's little child slave is over six years old... The little guy looks more casual to Zhao Si, or he is completely a Q version of Zhao Si.

When he calmed down and endorsed the book, his face was like a crown jewel, and his body had an air of nobility.

But if you look carefully, you can see that while endorsing, the little guy's eyes peeked towards the pavilion of Zhao Si and the First Emperor from time to time. "Now that most of the canals and roads in various parts of the world have been completely connected, the remaining ones are nothing more than things between villages. These no longer need to be levied on labor and can be built by the villagers themselves..." Zhao Si reported to the First Emperor with a smile. Daqin is the result of five consecutive years of construction work.

The so-called achievements are the channels that completely connect all the counties in the world, the canals all over the world, and the management of the great rivers.

With the continuous construction in the past five years, the development of the Central Plains area has reached its extreme.

As for the marginal areas, preliminary development has also been achieved.

Da Qin's average grain yield per mu is currently conservatively estimated to increase by another hundred kilograms.

Don't underestimate this one hundred kilograms, because this one hundred kilograms is a basic bonus. Even ordinary grain varieties without the aura of raw jade can currently achieve a yield of two hundred kilograms per mu.

Of course, it is limited to the Central Plains region, and a large part of the reason for such a huge improvement is that the previous farming methods were too primitive, the utilization of nature was too low, and the average yield per mu was too low.

"It's time to stop the corvee in the world, and free up space for the construction of the great father's mausoleum and palace." Zhao Si said with a smile.

In fact, the First Emperor paid a lot for Zhao Si's political goals, including but not limited to the suspension of the palace and mausoleum originally planned by the First Emperor.

It’s not just the Epang Palace and Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum that are parked. Epang Palace is just a representative. In fact, palaces all over the world are also parked. Since the reduction of corvees and taxes, the First Emperor has not built a new palace.

"It's not urgent..." The First Emperor narrowed his eyes after hearing that he was in the mausoleum.

The ancients did not shy away from death, especially mausoleums, which were built while they were still alive.

The reason why the First Emperor was not in a hurry was that he felt that he still had a long time to live.

It's strange to say that I used to feel that time was running out and everything I did was urgent, but now I feel like everything can be slowed down.

"It's best not to rush. In fact, it won't take long for the Craftsmanship Bureau to produce new building materials. The construction tools should also be upgraded in a few years. If it takes a while, the uncle's mausoleum said Maybe we can lay another layer of tiles... I'm mainly afraid that my father will wait too long." Zhao Si chuckled.

In the past five years, in addition to social changes, the craftsmanship bureau has also naturally introduced new things.

The first is that the ratio of gunpowder has been officially finalized, and Shaofu has put it into large-scale production.

The second is the birth of muskets and artillery. Their power should be on par with the firearms of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, five years is too short to upgrade the entire army's equipment. Currently, General Shaofu is in emergency production because the weapons are too small. There are few, and priority must be given to supplying the navy. Therefore, there is currently only a pure firearms force of 5,000 people in Guanzhong, and it is still being trained.

As for ships, Daqin also has twenty ships equipped with large artillery and more than fifty ships equipped with small and medium-sized artillery. They are all newly built ships in various places in the past five years.

The large number of new ships is mainly due to the strong support of Zhao Si. The Shipping and Trade Military Government has its own small treasury. As long as Zhao Si makes the decision, no one can stop the Shipping and Trade Military Government from strengthening the navy.

Not convinced? If you are not convinced, go earn military expenses yourself.

"How are you talking?" The First Emperor glared at Zhao Si.

Are you afraid that you have waited too long? Um? This can indeed wait a little longer.

Zhao Si scratched his head and laughed twice when he heard the sound, unable to speak.

"I plan to patrol the world..." The First Emperor did not continue to delve deeper and just said.

"Construction in various places needs to be inspected..." The First Emperor said solemnly about the significance of the grand tour of the world.

"Take me with you?" Zhao Si automatically filtered out the First Emperor's long speech and asked the key question.

"No..." The First Emperor shook his head.

"Uncle...this is what we agreed on before, you are not joking!" Zhao Si said quietly.

"Someone has to be in charge of Xianyang..." The First Emperor shook his head.

"Isn't there still a father?" Zhao Si said.

"They don't recognize it..." the First Emperor spoke, and Zhao Si fell into silence upon hearing this.

Yes, he might recognize him in political affairs, but in military affairs, Zhao Si was almost completely in control.

And just as it happened... the war between Wei and Jizi in North Korea had reached a fever pitch, and Great Qin's diplomatic activities were in full swing.

At present, the Peacock Kingdom is in full decline after experiencing the First World War five years ago. Local forces have set off rebellions, and wars are everywhere. Daqin is doing business while intervening in the war. There is almost a feeling that the whole of India is ready to stir up...

"Besides, the Huns have invaded the Western Regions. You focus on maritime affairs, but you cannot ignore land affairs. I heard that the Dayue clan has restored their country in the Western Regions? Is this true?" asked the First Emperor.

"Strictly speaking, it is not a restoration of the country... After the defeat of the Da Yuezhi, the nobles, mainly the Guishang clan, migrated westward, and now they can be regarded as taking over other countries... Well, it may be more appropriate to say that they are resurrecting the corpse. In short, the Da Yue clan Yueshi is no longer here." Zhao Si shook his head.

"The Western Regions cannot be controlled by the Xiongnu. If the Yuezhi regains their kingdom, they can find ways to send envoys to contact them and rely on their arms to support them. The Western Regions cannot relax. Mao Dun is a powerful leader and there will be a battle sooner or later..." the First Emperor said. said.

"That's true. Although maritime affairs are important, the foundation of a country ultimately lies on land." Zhao Si nodded.

"Nowadays, the navy and army generals are divided into factions, and you cannot favor one over the other..." The First Emperor spoke again.

"Your father may not be able to understand these things, but so what if he does? They may not listen to your father, so why don't they stop fighting if your father tells them not to fight? So you have to stay in Xianyang... and you can't go anywhere." The First Emperor spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Si was silent for a moment and finally gave up the struggle.

Wherever there are people, there is competition...

At present, the Great Qin military has been vaguely divided into two factions, namely the army faction and the navy faction.

The reason why factions are divided is mainly because Da Qin currently attaches great importance to maritime affairs.

It just so happened that the Aviation and Trade Military Government was independent of the Sangong and Jiuqing, and it also had its own financial revenue.

Most importantly, the maritime benefits have grown over time.

In terms of reputation, the prosperity of all nations was laid by the navy.

In terms of interests, by signing an alliance with the Maurya Kingdom, Da Qin's dominance of overseas trade as a war monger also made Da Qin a lot of money.

If you can fight, your fists are big enough.

If you can make money, your fists will be strong enough.

If it can fight and make money, it must be big and hard.

Compared with the Navy, the Army is more embarrassed.

At present, the significance of the Army lies in the expansion of territory, and there will naturally be gains. The new soil in Lingnan and the new soil in the North are both opened and expanded by the Army.

But the problem is that in addition to the expansion of territory, the income is pitiful, and it has not driven more income and industry. What's more terrible is that in the short term, these two places have swallowed a lot of money. Many of them were earned by the Navy.

How is it possible not to form factions?
And if you really want to expand the territory, the navy will not make too much concessions. At least the offshore islands are basically occupied by the navy with flags planted. Coupled with Zhao Si's focus, after Wang Jian took office, the army actually felt suppressed.

The current leader of the navy is Li Xin. Because he is well-known and has only lost one game. He is also a veteran and talented general. The navy has been in the limelight for a while.

As for the army, after Wang Jian became an official, there was no one who could compete with Li Xin.

Meng Tian was suppressed by Li Xin in the old era, let alone the new era?

"Go west..." Zhao Si was silent for a moment.

"The pattern at sea has almost been settled, and it's time to head west..." Zhao Si said.

"Who do you plan to use?" asked the First Emperor.

"Although Li Xin has lost before, it is difficult for ordinary people to suppress Li Xin, not even Meng Tian, ​​nor Zhao Tuo..." the First Emperor said.

"If we talk about fighting against each other, Xiang Ji is enough. If we talk about stabilizing one end, I'm afraid the only one I can think of is Han Xin." Zhao Si said with a smile.

"Han Xin is unruly and talented. It is easy to push him, but..." the First Emperor said quietly.

"The eldest father can trust himself, but not his grandson?" Zhao Si raised his eyebrows.

"I can hold it down!"

The First Emperor smiled, but his eyes fell on the little child slave who was peeking here.

"Don't worry, uncle, the little slave is not stupid either!" Zhao Si said quietly.

"You know what's going on..." The First Emperor smiled.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other speechlessly for a long time, and then the First Emperor said: "My grand tour of the world will take a long time."

"Then, the eldest father, please take the young slave with you. We can also entertain you on the way." Zhao Si heard the sound and said.

Although he could not go with him, Zhao Si still cared about the health of the First Emperor.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhinu has inherited his own magical powers and can ensure good health by taking him with him. This way, he doesn't have to worry about the First Emperor leaving him and heading west.

"Well... before I leave, I will make a big sacrifice to heaven and earth, and promise you to supervise the country." The First Emperor said.

"Supervisor..." Zhao Si spread his hands. Anyway, he already had experience.

"But what are you planning to do after being away for so long? You don't really intend to pay a private visit incognito, do you?" Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor suspiciously.

"Let's go find out if there is Queen Mother of the West in the world!" The First Emperor laughed loudly and got up. Then he thought for a moment and took out the imperial seal from his arms.

With a flick of his wrist, the jade seal engraved with the order of longevity and longevity flew towards Zhao Si.

"I don't know when I will come back, so I will leave it to you."

Zhao Si caught it steadily and looked at the First Emperor angrily: "My eldest father is really not afraid of being broken."

"This is the national jade seal!"

Although he has traveled through time for a long time, some of the thinking of modern people is still there, and this thing Zhao Si is still quite rare.

"Haha..." The First Emperor laughed when he heard the sound.

"I said he was the one who passed down the imperial seal, and he is!"

The heroic voice was mixed with a hint of age and relief.
