Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

"Allocating land to slaves?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, he nodded seriously towards Cui Yuan: "When we carried out land reform before, we used measures similar to yours."

"It is to issue a decree to return the land of those landlords who fled their hometowns to the cultivators."

"In this way, those big landowners who are greedy for life and fear of death will find that their original land deeds are no longer recognized when they return to their hometowns."

"And farmers who own land are even less likely to voluntarily hand over their land with the support of the government. We will use this policy to make a large number of landowners who are greedy for life and fear of death go bankrupt."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di couldn't help but shudder.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be very relaxed about it, he killed many people in order to implement this policy.

After all, those big landowners often have residual power in the local area. Even if they have fled, they are still quite powerful in the local area. If they are not eradicated, it is easy to end up being a shackles.

For example, if the people get the land today, they will "voluntarily" send the land back tomorrow.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang killed many people at that time, causing almost the entire Jiangnan to be in panic.

Originally, they had all forgotten this memory, but unexpectedly they remembered it again today.

"Emperor Ming, what will be the final effect after you do this?"

Ying Zheng asked, he cared more about the effect of this method than Zhu Biao and Zhu Di cared about how many people died behind this change.

"Excellent."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled obviously, and obviously regarded this matter as the pride of his life.

"Although we killed many people to promote him, we regained the hearts and minds of the entire Jiangnan region."

"The people there are still thinking of me and saying that I am an eternal sage!"

He was very proud. As a king who rose from a beggar to the supreme king step by step, Zhu Yuanzhang had tasted the bitterness of the world.

More than any history book records that he is a wise king, what he likes more is that the people respectfully call him a holy king from the bottom of their hearts. This is the greatest honor of being an emperor.

Ying Zheng was very moved, but he also understood that this kind of thing would never happen to Da Qin.

The land in Da Qin was used to support military success and nobility. If other farmers wanted to obtain the land, they could only cultivate it. Before the waterwheel was popularized, it was extremely difficult to cultivate the land, not to mention the possibility of encountering ferocious beasts and death at any time. .

Only Zhu Yuanzhang had this condition and strength, but he pursued such an unnatural policy to win back the hearts of the people.

"Your Majesty, actually a large number of people in the world call you the Holy King."

Cui Yuan saw the envy in Ying Zheng's heart and joked with a smile: "In the past two years, various colleges in Daqin have begun to build colleges for civilians. After all, elementary schools have been established in various villages and villas, and a large number of school-age children have been admitted to study."

"Nowadays, people all over the world are thinking of your Majesty. Many people have even set up immortal monuments for you. They hope that your Majesty will be healthy and live long life day and night."

Ying Zheng blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

Not only because Cui Yuan saw through his mind.

It's even more because although this matter is true, the main promoters are Cui Yuan and his disciples. At most, he only has a name.

But now, Cui Yuan is giving all the credit to himself.

And it's not easy for him to refute, after all, there are still guests here.

"His Majesty Zulong is indeed a wise man!" Zhu Yuanzhang praised, as did Zhu Biao, Zhu Di and Queen Ma, who were all very respectful to the First Emperor.

Ying Zheng: "..."

Now, it is even more difficult to explain.

He looked at Cui Yuan, wanting to ask this boy why he was digging a hole for himself, but he found that the boy was snickering.

"Cui Yuan, since you have such a good idea, why did you not say anything about what you speculated Wang Ben and others did within the Maurya Dynasty before?"

Cui Yuan responded with a smile: "It's very simple. Naturally, I thought they couldn't think of this, so naturally I didn't say anything."

Ying Zheng glared: "Ha~ Why do you think they can't think of it? Cui Yuan, you must underestimate our generals in Great Qin."

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. How could I underestimate them?"

Cui Yuan laughed repeatedly and said that he knew that Ying Zheng was dissatisfied that he gave all the credit to him, so he deliberately looked for trouble.

"If His Majesty still doesn't believe it, then we can make a bet."

"What are you betting on?" Ying Zheng felt the danger.

"I'm just betting on whether King Bi Yeteng and the others have thought of this."

Cui Yuan continued: "If they think of it, then His Majesty will win, otherwise, His Majesty will lose."

"The winner can ask the loser to do something that is not excessive."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Ying Zheng sneered and shook his head: "No bet, Cui Yuan, don't think of me as a fool!"

Even if it is something that is not excessive, he does not want to do it easily.

"Oh, it turns out that His Majesty also has no confidence in Ye Teng and the others!"

"Haha, do you think I will be fooled by such a cheap way of provoking generals?"

……

In the Maurya Dynasty, Ye Teng was still lecturing Wang Li and making Wang Li confused. Only Zhang Liang on the side felt that something was wrong and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"General Ye, can we not talk about this issue for now and instead defeat the Maurya Dynasty first?"

Zhang Liang couldn't bear it, so he could only remind him verbally, and Ye Teng stopped.

However, he still promised Wang Li that he would confront Cui Yuan after the war to prove that his statement was right.

Cui Yuan could not chop his own people into action in the Maurya Dynasty.

Although Wang Li felt something was wrong, he still agreed.

Zhang Liang held his forehead and sighed, feeling that these people were really hopeless.

But he soon resumed his busy work. After all, this was just a small episode. Counting the population, regaining the support of the people, reforming the feudal system, and gradually disintegrating the foundation of the Mauryan Dynasty's rule are the most important things.

Da Qin's main force continued to move steadily here, gradually annexing the city.

Xiang Yu, on the other hand, had beaten Nalanda to the brink of collapse.

Although the catapults were not cannons and the stones were not bombs, they could not hold up in large numbers. So many catapults almost smashed half of Nalanda to pieces.

During this period, the Kshatriyas who guarded Nalanda had not thought of leaving the city to fight, but they often just left the city gate and stood in formation.

Before they even saw the enemy, a flurry of iron bullets flew towards them, killing and seriously injuring a lot of people on the spot, including the Kshatriya who almost died.

This made him even more afraid of the Qin army, and he completely chose to hide in the city, not daring to come out at all.

Now, he had completely pinned his hopes on the reinforcements from Hua City. However, what he didn't expect was that the reinforcements from Hua City had given up on him.

Xiang Yu was not in a hurry and continued to surround them slowly. Anyway, he had time, and the logistical pressure of five thousand people was far less than the Maurya Dynasty expected.

Boom boom boom!

The catapults showed no sign of stopping and kept Nalanda shrouded in the haze of war.

One month later, in Fahrenheit City, Ashoka was sitting in the underground palace in despair, looking at the information that was constantly being passed on to him, his eyes filled with despair.

According to the original plan, this should be Ashoka's coronation ceremony, a glorious moment for the Mauryan Dynasty that would go down in history.

But now, let alone the enthronement ceremony, just dealing with the situation in front of him made him physically and mentally exhausted.

"Then...how is the situation in Nalanda?"

"Why can't I see anything about it in the past three days?"

Ayu looked over with red eyes. Everyone was silent, no one dared to speak.

The cold wind outside the imperial palace was extremely fierce, as if someone had poured ice paste onto a person's body. It was filled with biting ice, and the chill penetrated into the heart.

Ashoka's lips trembled, and he understood that there was probably a bad situation there.

And this also means that the distance between himself and Qin Jun is one step closer!

King Ashoka's expression could no longer be described as ugly, but his face was ashen, as if he were a corpse that had been dead for seven days and seven nights.

At hand, there are stacks of battle reports that have not yet been viewed. Although he has not read them yet, Ashoka can still guess their contents - they are all about surrender and city destruction!

The Mauryan Dynasty, which was at its peak, collapsed faster than everyone present expected.

Like a giant, he was indestructible a moment ago, and his strong body was intimidating, but now he has become a piece of mud and minced meat in a short period of time, with mottled wounds all over his body.

Ashoka's idea of ​​gathering an army to counterattack came to nothing because the Qin army's attack was too fast.

Even though Wang Bi, Ye Teng and others are already fighting steadily, the speed of the attack is still too terrifying. For the Maurya Dynasty, this is a blitzkrieg!

Moreover, the weapons used by the Qin army were unprecedented. According to the description of the battle report, they had no idea what happened. They only heard a bang and the elite of the Mauryan Dynasty was gone.

The many Kshatriyas and Brahmins below did not care about competing for power at this moment. They all silently looked forward to Shiva in their hearts and prayed that they could survive this disaster.

If the hearts of the people are unstable, the country will collapse!

Ashoka closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, there was only silence in his eyes.

It's time to make a choice.

He slowly looked at Wei Bao and the others. Wei Bao and the others suddenly became horrified. They understood that Asoka wanted to surrender.

People are always fickle. Not long ago, they persuaded King Asoka to stick to Huashi City and gather all their strength. King Ashoka agreed at that time.

But now, the Qin army has not yet reached the walls of Huashi City. After seeing so many cities reduced to ruins and so many slaves surrendering to Qin, King Asoka's resistance became weaker and weaker.

Could the present of these cities and slaves be the future of Fahrenheit City?

Yes!

Fahrenheit City has unrivaled city and protective power, but other cities are not weak either!

Rather than continue to resist, it is better to surrender on the spot, at least to maintain dignity and not be killed by the Qin army.

To do this, King Asoka must find a scapegoat to explain away the locust plague in Handan County, secretly bribing the Wen family, and even his own envoys who injured the people of Daqin in Daqin.

And the three of them are the best scapegoats!

If you make a wrong step at this time, you will be doomed!

Wei Bao and the others already regretted it immensely. If he had known that things would turn out like this, he would have been better off following Zhao Xie to the country to assassinate the Ninth Princess, or hiding his name and working as a farmer.

When they came to the Maurya Dynasty, they originally wanted to use the power of the Maurya Dynasty to take revenge. For this reason, they also studied ancient Indian language hard for more than half a year.

In the end, it was all in vain. Not only was the revenge unrequited, but now he might be executed by the angry King Asoka.

"Your Majesty, don't panic, the advantage in this battle is still on our side."

Wei Baoqiang fought with confidence and looked extremely calm: "During the Spring and Autumn Period of China, Yan general Leyi once led the five-nation coalition to attack Qi. When Qi was in the most critical situation, only two buildings were left. It’s just a city, and it’s already in a precarious situation.”

"However, Qi General Tian Dan still insisted on holding on to Jimo City, burning cauldrons and boats, fighting to the death with the thieves, and finally defeated the Yan army in one fell swoop and regained Qi's lost territory."

"Your Majesty! Now your kingdom is stronger than Jimo City back then. Your Majesty's army is ten times that of Qi's. Your Majesty's sage who wants to change the world is far more powerful than just Tian Dan."

"The city now has enough troops and food. The soldiers and slaves in the city are also grateful for the king's kindness and are willing to live and die with the king. Although this battle may be difficult in the early stage, I believe that the final victory will definitely belong to us! "

"My lord, what do you have to worry about?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Ashoka was stunned, but everyone else present, including Han Xin and Tian Zhan who were following Wei Bao, were also dumbfounded.

It's not because what Wei Bao said is too reasonable, but because he is so capable of bragging!

Yes, Qi State did launch a massive counterattack, but the fundamental reason for that battle was the internal discord among the five-nation coalition forces, and Tian Dan seized the opportunity!

And why should the Allied Forces of the Five Nations be compared with the Qin Army?

Your five-nation coalition could not even destroy a single state of Qi, but the Qin army destroyed six kingdoms and even conquered the Three Kingdoms of the Grassland and Japan!

As for the words "there are enough troops and enough food and grass, the soldiers and the slaves in the city are also grateful for the king's kindness and are willing to live and die with the king.", except for the first half of the sentence, which has a little truth, the rest is all nonsense Got it!

Not to mention the people below, many Brahmins are now ready to abandon the city and run away at any time. Most of them have secretly sent people to send their wealth and family members out of the city. Even the Kshatriyas There are many people who do this.

With such a foundation of popular support, who said such words to Wei Bao's face?

Ashoka was not a person without self-awareness, and he also vaguely felt that every word of Wei Bao was filled with lies and deceit, and was like a fang dripping with venom.

However... these words are so pleasant to the ear!

"You...do you really have so much confidence in me?"

"Of course!"

"Your Majesty... ah no! Your Majesty! I, Wei Bao, am willing to live or die with the city and forever protect your Majesty's glory!!!" (End of Chapter)
