Prime Minister of Great Qin

The news of the death of the First Emperor spread throughout the world in just a few days.

There was an undercurrent surging throughout Guandong, and the remnants and scholars of the Six Kingdoms were very excited when they heard the news.

As far as they're concerned.

Finally, it was time for the First Emperor to die.

Wait for this moment.

They have waited too long.

They have also been aggrieved and depressed for too long.

Koto.

Mrs. Xiang has heard the news.

In a valley, Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng, Xiang Ji and others were sitting in a wooden house, looking excited.

Xiang Liang had a smile on his face and said with a smile: "I won't say more about the news."

"Now that the First Emperor is dead, our opportunity has finally come. And according to what Zhang Liang said before, he has already discussed it with the nobles of the other five places. Once the world changes, they will work together. The six places will respond to each other, and we will definitely make things happen. Qin Ting ignored one thing and lost the other, and then found more space and opportunities for us to develop and grow."

"What do you think about this?"

"How will I, the Xiang family, fare in this changing world?"

Fan Zeng stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Now the First Emperor will die before the Xiang family can do anything. As the saying goes, the soldiers will win. The First Emperor has a high prestige among the Qin people. A state funeral is being held now, and the supporting staff Su Ye is still observing his filial piety, if he raises trouble at this time, it will play into the hands of the Qin people, so we don’t need to be in such a hurry."

"We need to be patient."

"Just wait for the world to slowly change."

"Maintaining the status quo."

"The one who is anxious now is not us, but Qin Ting. Next, we only need to pay attention to Fusu's actions. If Fusu is not as happy as the First Emperor and is not in a hurry to build various large-scale construction projects, we may have to take action in advance. , if Fusu first comes to the throne and wants to do something big, then what's the harm if I wait a little longer?"

"And even if I want to do something, I will do it."

"Inform other nobles as well."

"Otherwise, it would be too weak for me to act alone."

"In the past two years, the Xiang family has been recruiting and training troops aggressively. There are currently 8,000 Jiangdong disciples, but this is the limit of the Xiang family's development. If the number is larger, it will be difficult to support it. We don't have that much money in our hands. With food, if you want to cause trouble, it’s best to wait until after the autumn harvest.”

"also."

"We also need to ask for certain weapons from other nobles."

Xiang Liang nodded.

His eyes were also quite helpless.

The Xiang family actually has a lot of money, but they lost a lot due to the Qin court's repeated efforts. And because the Qin court opened up the right to mint money, many of the coins they had accumulated in the past were greatly devalued, and the Xiang family's wealth shrank significantly. , and the Xiang family can raise eight thousand soldiers, thanks to the annexation of other nobles before, and obtained a lot of wealth and land from other nobles, otherwise the Xiang family would not be able to raise so many soldiers.

But these eight thousand soldiers also directly emptied the Xiang family's wealth.

Otherwise, with the financial resources of the Xiang family at that time, it should not be difficult to raise tens of thousands of troops.

Besides.

The Qin court opened up the right to mint money, but it allowed a large amount of copper mines to be invested in smelting currency. This move was a blow to them, making it very difficult and costly for them to obtain their original weapons. Shi was very angry about this.

As for food.

There is nothing wrong with what Fan Zeng said.

Meng Yi carried out a ruthless attack on Guandong some time ago, confiscating many powerful officials, confiscating a large amount of local financial and material resources, as well as a large amount of food. This also led to a reduction in the food supply on the market. Now the Xiang family's life has become worse than before. We had a lot of difficulties in the past, all thanks to Meng Yi.

At present, it is very difficult to raise 8,000 troops.

There are also insufficient weapons.

Xiang Liang felt deeply helpless about this.

As the saying goes, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, so Xiang wanted to stir up the world.

However, I was short of money and couldn't afford much money for food.

Only when there is enough food in the world after the autumn harvest can we support the Xiang family and do more things.

Xiang Liang said: "Then just follow what Brother Fan said."

"First send someone to contact other nobles and secretly discuss the time for the incident."

"At the same time, ask for some weapons from other nobles."

"We also take this time to plan more about the direction after the incident."

"We don't have many chances."

"If we can't catch it this time, there may be no next time. Therefore, we must act quickly, quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. We cannot give Qin Ting too much time to react. We must also spread the flames of war to the entire Kanto as soon as possible, and then integrate the entire Kanto forces to go If we join forces to fight against the Qin army, we will have a chance of survival."

"If we are held back by the local government, wait until the Qin army comes to help."

"We may be hopeless."

Fan Zeng nodded.

There aren't many opportunities left for them.

Now that the First Emperor has died, there is a short-term vacuum in the power of the Qin Dynasty. Once Fusu takes over the power and consolidates the power, with the strength of the Qin Dynasty, the forces of the six countries will not be able to compete for long, so they must seize the Qin court During the weak period, fight a bloody path.

This is the only way out for the Six Nations forces at present.

Jimo.

Compared with the silence of other nobles, Tian's family is obviously more proud. Today's Tian family is no longer what it used to be. They are wealthy, have tens of thousands of troops, and are well-equipped. Looking at the entire six countries, Tian Qi's strength is the strongest, and he is the number one without any doubt.

now.

In a magnificent mansion.

Everyone from the Tian family gathered together.

Tian Dan sat in the main seat, while Tian Rong, Tian Heng and others sat in the second row.

There were several bamboo slips placed in front of Tian Dan, which were sent by other nobles in the past few days.

Tian Dan, who was wearing splendid clothes, threw the bamboo slips to the ground and said coldly: "This is a letter sent by all parties. They all think that my Tian family is currently the strongest, so they hope that I, the Tian family, will take action first. The reason is Well, I gave it to a few."

"It is said that our Tian family is the farthest from Xianyang. If we take the lead in launching an attack, Qin Ting will be out of reach and can better test Qin Ting's reaction. Secondly, our Tian family has the largest number of soldiers and the most sophisticated weapons, so it should be Take the lead in order to inspire the world."

Hear the words.

Tian Rong looked disdainful.

He said coldly: "I know these people have no good intentions."

"Isn't this just to let me, Mr. Tian, ​​be the first person to attract Qin Ting's attention for them?"

"When the Qin Dynasty promulgated the 'official mountain sea', which made my Tian family miserable, didn't my Tian family look for them? I hope they would help, but how did they wait for me? Draw a clear line with us directly, now Our Tian family has risen again, and our strength has become the strongest among the six countries. Now they remember that they know that my Tian family is the most important, what did they do before?"

"Why don't they go to die?"

Tian Heng also looked reluctant and said: "Brother, please don't listen to me."

"How can these nobles be kind to me, the Tian family? What did the Xiang family, the Song family, and the Tang family do when things happened in Jiangdong?"

"Did they go to help those nobles who suffered heavy losses?"

"They went directly to devour these nobles and devoured all their property. If I, the Tian family, really believed their lies and went to confront Qin Ting head-on, I, the Tian family, would suffer heavy losses. , maybe he will be the next noble to be swallowed up by them."

"How could I, Mr. Tian, ​​fall into their trap?"

"You can't get out from this end!"

"And we made a promise before that we, Tian, ​​will abide by our promise to work together."

Tian Dan laughed.

He nodded and said, "That's right."

"Brother, I have the same view."

"How could I, Mr. Tian, ​​do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself?"

"I will edit a book later to express my Tian family's attitude, but judging from the tone of other nobles, I'm afraid I don't want to wait any longer. This year's autumn harvest will be the time for us to do something. There is still a lot of time before the autumn harvest. For more than half a year, my Tian family will continue to grow in strength."

"Among the nobles of the six countries, only I, the Tian family, can take the lead alone."

"We must continue to improve our strength."

"After all, big trees attract the wind."

"It is true that our country, Qi, is the farthest away from Guanzhong, but our lips are dead and our teeth are cold. If something happens to the other five places, we, Qi, cannot survive alone. We, Qi, suffered a loss back then, and we cannot make the same mistake again this time."

"Besides, Great Qin's Beiyuan army is not far from our Qidi."

"Only strength is all the confidence."

Tian Rong said: "Brother Yingming, if this is the case, then do I, the Tian family, still need to provide weapons to the other nobles?"

Tian Dan snorted coldly and said indifferently: "We, the Tian family, don't have enough weapons ourselves, how can we have extra supplies for them? It is better to provide them to other forces for their own use. Now we only have half a year, and my Tian family is in Qidi. The reputation is very good. If we really go all out, we can at least double the number of troops. Under normal circumstances, we really cannot afford to raise so many soldiers, but we can only raise them for half a year. I, Tian, ​​can grit my teeth and persevere."

"Wait until the world is in chaos."

"The whole world is my Tian family's granary."

"At that time, my Tian family may have one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand troops."

"When our country of Qi is restored, we should be the overlord of the world!"

"Command the world."

Tian Dan's ambition is unabashed.

Today, the Tian family is the most powerful among the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

If Qi is really restored, with his family wealth, he can raise the largest army. By then, his Tian family will undoubtedly be the overlord of the world, and he will also become a peerless figure like Duke Huan of Qi.

Such achievements.

It is also the most dazzling in his Tian clan's ancestral temple.

Tian Rong and Tian Heng also looked excited.

If Qi is restored.

They were the heroes of the restoration, and they would be extremely prosperous at that time.

However, Tian Dan did not lose his mind because of this. Even though he had already fantasized about the grand event in the future, at this time, he could only suppress the restlessness in his heart and focus on the next actions. After all, Qin Ting was still here and would not completely destroy Bao Qin. , and finally feel uneasy.

He coughed lightly and said slowly: "In the next six months, our affairs will be very heavy. On the one hand, we must be responsible for recruiting troops and training them. On the other hand, we must speed up the recruitment of other officials to strengthen our own strength. We must also speed up the mining of copper mines. Store up as much food as possible to prepare for future wars."

"This time."

"I, the Tian family, are only allowed to succeed and not fail."

"When you succeed, I, Tian Dan, will personally host a banquet for you to congratulate you!"

"Split the soil and become a prince!!!" (End of this chapter)
