Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 490 The emperor is the supreme commander-in-chief of the three armies (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
The second generation said happily:
"Then where is this person now?"

"Presumably still in Jiuyuan."

"Now call him here. I want to see this person."

"I will send someone to invite this person right now."

The second generation is in his prime, so he is naturally heroic and heroic.

I succeeded to the throne at the age of 30 and am now 31. If I give the people of the world ten years to recuperate, I will be able to annihilate the Huns in one fell swoop and advance westward to connect the Western Regions.

"I plan to keep March in Jiuyuan County."

Meng Tian was naturally surprised when he heard this.

Meng Tian is already in his early fifties. Although he is still smart and capable, he can't hide his old age.Hearing these words, the veteran's eardrums were naturally shaken.

"Your Majesty is this?"

"I came to Jiuyuan County this time to express condolences to the soldiers. But now, I want to see the heroic appearance of our Qin soldiers and pass on the martial arts spirit of our Qin Kingdom."

"Dong Yi, I want to see how our Qin warriors train. In addition, I want to select an elite team to help me patrol the world. I will select 3000 people directly from the army through a competition."

When the generals heard this, they all fell silent.

"I'm going to prepare now."

"Tonight, I'm going to have a big banquet for all the generals. All soldiers in the army, regardless of rank, will be given wine and meat."

Dong Yi bowed again:

"On behalf of the officers and men of the armed forces, I thank Your Majesty."

Meng Tian naturally knew what the emperor's intention was, it was just to gain authority in the army.

Soon, five generals were running around in every corner of the military camp with carriages and black silk books in their hands.There was a black bird totem flag on the carriage, as well as many small flags.

The carriage was rolling in, dust was flying in all directions, and the command flag on the carriage was fluttering in the wind.

"Your Majesty has ordered us to hold a grand banquet tonight, and all the officers and men of the three armies will be given meat, wine and drinks."

The carriage ran among the three armies for three full hours, being shouted at in turn, before finally turning back.

Dong Yi was sitting in the military tent, holding his head in his hands, with regret on his face.

I thought I could get a higher position to replace Meng Tian.

But he didn't expect that today, he was in vain, and even made His Majesty dissatisfied with him.

"Captain, you are accompanying His Majesty today, but something went wrong?"

Dong Yi thought to himself, once the emperor, there are always ministers.Now that the emperor has been replaced, the generals under the late emperor will also be replaced one by one.

Dong Yi kept his secrets secret.

"Don't guess my thoughts, just do whatever you have to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly called outside the military tent.

"Captain, Captain Sima is here to ask for an audience."

Although Dong Yi is not tall, he is very strong and has a strong aura. He twirled his mustache and said:
"Let him in."

Sima Xin is a villain.He is just a wallflower, falling in whichever direction the wind blows.

Such an approach made many military commanders in the DPRK look down on him.

After all, he had no firm stance.

Sima Xin entered the tent and saw Dong Yi taking off his armor and wearing dark clothes and sitting around in the tent. He was taller than nine feet tall and looked upright.

"General Dong is quite leisurely."

As soon as Dong Yi saw Sima Xin's expression, he knew what he was here for.

"Captain Sima, please take your seat quickly. It's already this hour, and General Sima isn't bathing and changing clothes in the camp. Do you want to go to the banquet wearing this armor tonight?"

Sima Xin heard this and said:

"Your Majesty doesn't necessarily care if I change my clothes or not, but it's different for a person like Captain Dong who can make His Majesty angry."

Dong Yi was naturally choked when he heard this.

"You came to me just to talk about this."

Dong Yi signaled for his retainers to go out.

It was a bit strange that they were the only two grown men left in the tent.

"You have also seen His Majesty's demeanor today. He is clearly testing us. But you and I have already been fooled. I am just a captain, and I have inherited the title of my ancestors, but Captain Dong is different. Your Majesty, among many generals, has chosen Dong Duwei to temporarily command what is known as the strongest elite of our Qin State."

Dong Yi's face turned upside down.

"You always speak half yin and half yang, what do you mean?"

"I'm also afraid that the Captain will miss a good opportunity to ascend to the throne. I think His Majesty wants to establish authority in the army and needs help. The Dazhu Kingdom is now in Xianyang, but his hands and feet are actually restrained by His Majesty the Emperor. I just want to remind the Captain. But don’t forget how we all serve as generals.”

Dong Yi felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.

"What do you mean by that?"

Naturally, Sima Xin would not say this outright, after all, the emperor had just arrived, but he had to let Dong Yi know that they had to unite.

"Speaking of which, we all have the same military background as Meng Tian. Now His Majesty the Emperor still appoints me and other veterans with outstanding military exploits. The new emperor first came to the throne and his position gradually became more stable. Although the new emperor's policies are very different from those of the previous emperor. But as your Majesty said, it is all for the sake of the empire. Your Majesty does not have much prestige in the army, so he has to rely on the power of generals like Zhu Guo and Dong Duwei, so the world is peaceful."

Dong Yi still pretended to be confused.

"You have to take care of your Majesty's salary and your Majesty's worries. Your Majesty trusts me. Naturally, I have to take care of Your Majesty."

Sima Xin smiled, the feather crown on his head stood high, and when he said this, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

"The late Marquis Wu Cheng once said something to me. I never thought it was anything, but now that I think about it, I feel scared.

Wang Jian, who in the court does not admire him?

What people like them admire about Wang Jian is not that he enjoys the highest title in the Qin Kingdom, but that he admires Wang Jian's resourcefulness. He can always make the right decision at critical moments. Such wisdom is not available to everyone, and he often Doing bad things by yourself shows that you are just a person who wants to take advantage of small things. No wonder you can protect yourself wisely in the end.

Dong Yi's expression darkened.

"What exactly did Marquis Xianwu Cheng say to you?"

"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."

These words naturally touched Dong Yi's heartache.Dong Yi's butt stiffened immediately.

In his heart, he had the intention of regaining his military glory, and today he exposed it in front of the soldiers.

Sima Xin saw Dong Yi's face turning pale and patted him on the shoulder.

"Why should the captains worry? What you are thinking is also what we people are thinking. There are more than thirty captains in the Qin Kingdom. Who is willing to stop here? Not only we think, I think that the Dazhu Kingdom That’s what I thought too.”

Dong Yi looked horrified.

"Don't talk nonsense. It will be a serious crime of beheading. And Meng Tian may not have the same idea as us."

"It's too early for Captain Dong to say this. Captain Dong just wanted to make it clear today that the country cannot change its system many times within a few years, but he did not say that the military merit system is a system that harms the country."

After saying this, Sima Xin stood up and said, "Sorry for disturbing you, please take my leave." Then he swayed his tall body and walked away.

Dong Yi looked at Sima Xin, his heart itching with hatred. He must have taken action after telling him these words.

Here Dong Yi and Sima Xin met privately, and Fusu was also very worried.

Military meritocracy is an extremely beneficial system for soldiers. It concentrates the power of the country to support these soldiers, and these soldiers in turn obtain the materials to support their families through winning wars.

The military merit system was abolished and the Guanzhong standard system was used to create balance. However, over time, some people will naturally think that the military merit system is good.

Especially the generals of the Qin State's military merit group, which are the main pillars of the Qin State.

People like Feng Quji and Wang Wu were just pawns used by Fusu to strengthen centralization and control local power.

So now Fusu is most worried about these generals, because the abolition of the military merit system makes them feel resentful towards him.

It is impossible for the generals of Qin to change their blood rashly.

But in today's scene, Fusu looked at the faces of the officers and men and already had a premonition of a terrible situation.

As night fell, bonfires were lit among the Qin army. The bonfires rushed directly into the air, symbolizing the burning enthusiasm and unrestrained mood of the soldiers.

In the gate, all the mid-level and high-level generals of Qin State are gathered here.

The emperor was wearing a crown suit, and the harsh appearance of the previous emperor had been forgotten by the public. Everyone stared at the new emperor who had no extra emotion on his face, and each of them panicked.

Sima Xin was very attentive in front of the emperor.

"At the end of the day, I heard that your Majesty has established the official of Sanlin in the court, set up a special mansion to mint coins for circulation throughout the country, and set up a money department in each county to be responsible for managing the circulation of currency. This can solve the problems in the hearts of the people of the world. A stubborn disease of my family. Your majesty is wise."

Sima Xin showed such earnestness that all the generals felt disgust in their hearts.

"I didn't expect that there would be someone as good at speaking as Captain Sima in this army."

Sima Xin thought that the emperor would praise him, but unexpectedly, the emperor was so ambiguous, and the evaluation of neither praise nor derogation made it difficult for him to figure it out for a while.

As a result, Sima Xin felt slightly embarrassed.

The emperor seemed not to like people like him who were eloquent and good at words.

Sima Xin closed his mouth and sat quietly aside.

"I am here today to reward the generals. I was stationed in Jiuyuan to ward off the Xiongnu, and now I am stationed here in Shangdang County. After I succeeded to the throne, there were many state affairs, and I never had the opportunity to come in person to reward the three armies. Now the DPRK As soon as the overall situation stabilized, I rushed here to comfort you all."

Dong Yi then took the lead and said:
"His Majesty is busy with state affairs, but he always keeps us in mind. We are grateful for your kindness and pay our respects to your majesty."

Let everyone drink.

Fusu looked around.

"You are all generals when the late emperor was still alive. You have served as our Qin generals through life and death for many years, and you have set an example for our Qin soldiers. Now that I have succeeded to the throne, I want to create a grand event so that the people can be provided for in old age and have a good life. I have taught you that all the people of Qin have no shortage of food, clothing, shelter and transportation."

"The empire has become extremely large, and it is even more difficult to govern. Not to mention the refugees and bandits in the country, there are also foreign tribes who come to invade from time to time in the borderlands. I am very worried. Thanks to the concerted efforts of the generals, they helped me suppress this old Zhao. land, otherwise the land of Zhao would already be filled with refugees."

"I shall honor all generals with a title."

The emperor's gratitude may be sincere, but what's the point?

At least these generals are not stationed here for the wish of the Second King.

They are generals and monarchs of Fusu.

The emperor issued an order. If you don't obey it, it is treason and rebellion.

No one needs the emperor's thanks.

The generals looked at Dong Yi, and then they all bowed and thanked the emperor.

Such a scene made Meng Tian feel uncomfortable watching it.

He is the supreme commander of the three armies.

These soldiers already had some understanding of the new emperor's ideas and conduct, and Fusu's ideas were completely different from those of the previous emperor.

Moreover, the abolition of the military merit system was facilitated by the emperor in front of them. Naturally, the generals had some resistance to Fusu, but they dared not speak out.

Afraid of no one but the emperor.

No one knows how many people have remembered the system that Fusu said, but Yingzheng ordered that the emperor is supreme and unique, and everyone remembers this clearly.

Today's banquet is no more lively and intimate than the banquet in Xianyang City.

Each of these generals looked like unhatched eggs, with the same appearance and no warmth on their faces.

After drinking for two rounds, the atmosphere in the tent finally became a little calmer.

When Fusu saw that Meng Tian's face turned blue and he had not been promoted to a noble title for a long time, he suddenly smiled and said to everyone:
"Today, I want to express my gratitude to one person in front of all the generals. I know that my talents are insufficient. If it weren't for this person, I would not be able to succeed as emperor smoothly."

With that said, Fusu turned the wine prince towards Meng Tian.

Meng Tian was a little surprised and quickly raised his head and said:
"Why do you say this, Your Majesty? I am just paying tribute..." Meng Tian also learned the lesson and did not mention the late emperor in front of the soldiers. He just changed the topic and said, "You eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor. As a minister, loyalty is the foundation. points, the minister dare not say merit."

When the soldiers saw this scene, they were all surprised.

Meng Tian would show such a fearful expression.

"The generals should also offer a toast to the Dazhu Kingdom. After all, the Dazhu Kingdom is the supreme commander of the imperial army."

Naturally, some generals who did not understand the meaning behind the emperor's words raised their heads to express their congratulations.

But Meng Tian knew the real purpose of the emperor's coming to the army, His Majesty wanted to establish his own prestige in the army.

Before issuing the latest decree, the emperor wanted to use himself as a stepping stone.

Meng Tian placed the wine prince on the lacquer table.

In banquet occasions, there are strict rules for every move. Once the banquet begins, the wine baron must be held in the hand at all times, unless there is an emergency.

Meng Tian was sitting closest to the emperor. He was obviously the person with the highest status among everyone present except the emperor.

Meng Tian placed the wine baron, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Meng Tian put down his wine cup, knelt down and bowed:

"His Majesty is the lord of the world and the true supreme commander of the army. I am only appointed by His Majesty to be in charge of the three armies. I would never dare to assume the title of the supreme commander of the three armies."

Fusu was naturally delighted after hearing this.

"What Dazhu Kingdom said is that I just made a mistake. In this army, I am the one with the highest power, and Dazhu Kingdom is second."

Eyes filled with cold light glanced downwards, and all the soldiers responded silently when they saw each one.

A small episode, but of great political significance.

The emperor made it clear to the generals who was the master of the three armies.

Sima Xin was slightly timid, he lowered his head and glanced at Juezhong Sake.
