My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 691: We must force Zhao to seek peace quickly! The pioneer against feudal division - Ying Zheng!
The State of Zhao was an old rival of the Qin State.

Perhaps only the Qin Dynasty in the world understands how brave the Zhao army is.

When facing a war with the State of Zhao, it is never too cautious.

Issue after issue is raised, decision after decision is made.

When the moon was bright and the stars were dim, Ying Zheng finally made the final decision: "Order!"

"Prince Cheng Jiao of Chang'an is the commander-in-chief, and General Wang Jian is the deputy commander. They will lead 400,000 troops from Taihang Mountain to the east to attack Zhao!"

"General Yang Duanhe led a 100,000-man army and marched northward from the Zhangshui Great Wall."

"General Meng Wu led 50,000 troops from Neihuang to the west to encircle us."

"General Li Xin led 50,000 troops from Juzhu Mountain to the east to engage the Zhao army!"

"This battle must be fought quickly and hastily, so as to scare the Zhao army and force Zhao to seek peace as soon as possible."

"To protect our Great Qin farming!"

After careful research and discussion, the Qin Dynasty finally decided to use Taihang Mountain as the main attack direction, Zhangshui Great Wall as the auxiliary attack direction, and Daijun and Neihuang as the involvement.

The four armies will launch a comprehensive encirclement of the State of Zhao from four directions, using the vast war zone to fully utilize the advantages of the Qin's middle and high-level generals who are more numerous and more skilled in combat!

Do you have Li Mu?

But our army has more than ten generals including Ying Chengjiao, Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, Meng Wu, Li Xin, Qiang Huai, Meng Tian...!
How could Li Mu alone compete with so many generals in a large battlefield covering the entire country!

Ying Chengjiao, Wang Jian, Li Xin and other generals present all stepped forward and clasped their hands, shouting in a solemn voice:

"General, take your orders!"

As the generals and court officials dispersed, the orders from Ying Zheng quickly spread to the entire Qin Dynasty with their actions.

The exhausted ferocious beast was forced to open its eyes again due to the provocation of its prey, and urged the blood that was originally used to restore its strength and digest its prey to be sent to its claws again.

Just to announce it to the world with my head and death.

What is Daqin!

The curtains fell, leaving only Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao sitting opposite each other.

"My brother, this is unlike you." After taking a sip of the wine in the cup, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao with complicated eyes: "Why did you take the initiative to ask for a fight?"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "All the court officials hope that I can go to the battlefield. Even the national commander took the initiative to advise me to go to the battlefield."

“This is unprecedented trust!”

"Since all the ministers think so, I will naturally go with pleasure."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "You don't actually think that this battle can only be fought by you."

"You can refuse for now, and then ask your brother to ask the general to take command."

"But you didn't."

"why?"

Ying Chengjiao asked back: "The general is already old, and he is also very tired."

"My elder brother has seen the general's weariness and resistance to war."

"If you ask the general to go to war, how should you ask him?"

"What if I can't invite him out?"

Wang Jian's tolerance for military merit and titles had almost reached its limit.

If Ying Chengjiao had not been willing to take all the credit for this battle, Wang Jian would never have agreed to go to the battle, and might even have packed up his bags and slipped back home tonight!

If Ying Chengjiao did not go to the battlefield, how could Ying Zheng invite Wang Jian to come out of retirement?
Marry your daughter to Wang Jian?
Or should he go to Wang Jian's hometown in person and wait at Wang Jian's door for him to open it?
How could Ying Chengjiao bear to see Ying Zheng suffer such injustice!

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao steadily: "This is only one aspect, and even only a small aspect."

"Just this alone is definitely not enough to make my brother so happy that he would even volunteer to take charge."

"Now, tell my brother."

"Why!"

The person who knows Ying Chengjiao best in the world today, besides Madam Han, is Ying Zheng.

Therefore, Ying Zheng was very clear about Ying Chengjiao's resistance to war, and he was also very clear about how much Ying Chengjiao didn't want to fight.

There must be deeper reasons that forced Ying Chengjiao to volunteer to take charge, but Ying Chengjiao did not say it out loud!

Ying Zheng needs to hear the real reason why Ying Chengjiao has to go on an expedition again!

Ying Chengjiao met Ying Zheng's determined and strong gaze, feeling somewhat helpless: "Brother, you really are..."

"Can't you give me some privacy?"

Ying Chengjiao didn't want to reveal the truth so early.

But when it comes to understanding people's minds and concealing emotions, Ying Chengjiao is like a child in front of Ying Zheng.

Ying Chengjiao’s little thoughts can’t be hidden at all!
Since Ying Zheng has already discovered something unusual, Ying Chengjiao doesn't want the seeds of doubt to be planted in the soil.

After drinking the wine from the cup to the bottom and dropping it heavily on the table, Ying Chengjiao looked at Ying Zheng and asked:

"Brother, if the Qin Dynasty really unified the world one day, would you enfeoff the princes like the Zhou emperor did?"

Ying Zheng was stunned: "Brother..."

Ying Zheng didn't expect Ying Chengjiao to suddenly ask such a question.

But when Ying Chengjiao really asked this question, Ying Zheng was unable to answer!

In other words, Ying Zheng didn't know how to answer!

Ying Chengjiao smiled and said casually, "Is there anything that cannot be said between us brothers?"

"Brother, just speak frankly!"

After a few dozen breaths of silence, Ying Zheng spoke slowly and firmly: "No!"

"In the past, the Zhou emperor granted fiefs to the princes to govern the people on his behalf."

"This policy seemed to have maintained the stability of the Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, and enabled the Great Zhou to resist foreign races and expand its territory." "However, the time when this policy was truly beneficial was only a few decades and four generations of kings!"

"Since the reign of King Zhao of Zhou, the Zhou emperor has been weak."

"During the reign of King Li of Zhou, the princes of the world rose up in rebellion!"

Sensing Ying Zheng's desire to confide, Ying Chengjiao said politely, "It was also from that time that the authority of the Zhou emperor fell."

"King Li of Zhou fled and died, leaving the throne vacant for fourteen years."

"Duke Ding of Zhou and Duke Mu of Zhao ruled together and started the rule of the republic."

The 'republic' of the Zhou Dynasty was completely different from the 'republic' of later generations.

The republican rule of the Zhou Dynasty was that a large number of princes, including Duke Mu of Zhao and Duke Ding of Zhou, formed a princes' conference to jointly control the government, transforming the emperor's rule into a parliamentary rule!
King Li of Zhou was stripped of his throne before he died, and was even treated like a pig. All power in the world was returned to the princes!
Ying Zheng sneered: "Republic? Republic!"

"The feudal policy that the scholars always talked about ended up being a republic!"

"The princes at that time even joined forces to erase all the history books and chronology before the first year of the Republic!"

"This is enfeoffment!"

Ying Chengjiao's face also showed some sarcasm: "Seeing that the republic could no longer be maintained, the princes supported King Xuan of Zhou to ascend the throne."

"And then, in just forty-seven years, Lord Shen joined forces with the Zeng State and other foreign tribes like the Quanrong to attack Haojing!"

"King You of Zhou, the son of King Xuan of Zhou, was killed by a foreign race in Haojing right under the noses of the princes!"

"Afterwards, the Marquis of Shen and other princes made Yijiu, the crown prince of King You of Zhou, the King Ping of Zhou, and Duke Han of Guo and other royal ministers made Prince Yuchen the King Xie of Zhou. There were actually two emperors in one empire at the same time!"

"The emperor's authority has been completely lost!"

"The world is in chaos!"

What was Bao Si's fault?

The father of King You of Zhou was just a puppet pushed forward by Duke Mu of Zhao.

King You of Zhou did not need to light beacons to summon the princes, because the princes were already in his palace at that time, telling him how to govern!
Even if Bao Si was replaced by any other woman, as long as King You of Zhou did not make the daughter of Marquis Shen the queen, Marquis Shen would definitely rebel!

Ying Zheng said with emotion: "The feudal system helped Zhou prosper for several decades, but it also brought about five hundred years of war."

"Five hundred years of chaos and five hundred years of war."

“I don’t know how many bones, blood, and tears are buried on this land beneath our feet.”

"Brother, I cannot bear to see the past of Zhou appear in the future of Qin."

"If you and I were to unify the world, there would be endless wars like in the Zhou Dynasty."

"Then what is the meaning of our life's hard work!"

"So, if you are really lucky enough to unify the world, you will not rule the world by dividing it into fiefdoms, but you should find another strategy!"

"This way, my Great Qin will not repeat the mistakes of the Zhou Dynasty!"

There was a rare hint of uncertainty in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he cast a lonely and nervous gaze at Ying Chengjiao:
"My dear brother, what do you think of this?"

As powerful as Ying Zheng is, he is still just a man, not a god!

The feudal system has been a recognized truth for the past seven hundred years!

All the people around Ying Zheng, whether they were courtiers, generals, concubines, or children, all firmly supported the system of feudal fiefdom without exception.

Occasionally there were some voices supporting Ying Zheng, but most of them were people like Han Fei who had low status and low official positions.

On the road of fighting against feudalization, Ying Zheng was particularly lonely.

What made Ying Zheng even more nervous was whether Ying Chengjiao would have any bad thoughts about this!

Facing Ying Zheng's expectant gaze, Ying Chengjiao smiled: "Brother, what I am thinking is similar to what I am thinking."

Ying Zheng was slightly startled, and then a look of deep surprise flashed across his eyes: "My brother also supports what I am thinking?"

Fearing that Ying Chengjiao might misunderstand, Ying Zheng added: "Although I am unwilling to follow the example of the Zhou emperor, I am not a vassal of Zhou either."

"My brother has fought for the Qin Dynasty and made outstanding contributions."

"The merits of my brother the king can only be rewarded with a fiefdom!"

"That's why I won't confer titles on many of the lords, but I am an exception!"

"When the Qin Dynasty unifies the world, my brother can at least be the King of Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty!"

At least, he is the King of Chang'an.

The upper limit is unknown.

This is the reward that Ying Zheng gives to Ying Chengjiao, and it is also the trust that Ying Zheng gives to Ying Chengjiao!
Ying Chengjiao smiled warmly: "I know that you will not treat me unfairly."

"But have you ever thought about how you would treat other generals if their military achievements were similar to mine?"

"And also grant him the title of vassal?"

"Or are you ignoring his contributions and only giving him the title of a vassal?"

The reason why the Qin Dynasty was able to make so many people with lofty ideals fight bravely without fear of life and death was because the Qin Dynasty would reward those who had made contributions and punish those who had made mistakes.

Although there will still be various problems in the actual implementation, at least Daqin has been as fair as possible on the surface.

If Ying Chengjiao, who conquered three kingdoms in a row, was crowned king, then should the generals who conquered the other three kingdoms also be crowned kings?

If he were to be crowned king, Ying Zheng's idea of ​​not following the example of the Zhou emperor would be self-defeating.

If he is not crowned king, the Qin Dynasty's promotion path of rewarding meritorious service will be questioned, and other generals will certainly be dissatisfied.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao with complicated eyes: "You have already thought that your brother wants to abolish the feudal system."

“I have thought about these issues a long time ago.”

"You took the initiative to take charge this time so that my brother will not encounter these problems in the future."

"You want to take all the military achievements on your own shoulders and share your brother's worries!"
