I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 42 The Secret of Zhang Han

Prisoners are also criminals of tattoos and scorpions.

Such a group of criminals, though large in number, are nothing but a rabble.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Yu with some doubts, but he didn't know what trick Li Yu would have next.

"Your Majesty, Daqin Law, those who kill the enemy can get a house, and can even be named a marquis and a general. If such a group of prisoners who are driven and desperate hear such news, what does your Majesty think will happen?"

Ying Zheng's heart was shocked, and he said immediately: "If hopeless people listen to my wishes, they will surely rekindle the dawn, and their explosive abilities will indeed be different from ordinary people."

Li Yu nodded irrefutably, and said, "In this way, the time for recruiting soldiers can be saved, and military training can be carried out for these prisoners."

Ying Zheng groaned for a moment, determined in his heart that this was indeed a good idea, and Li Yu was never a person who proposed only half of it.

Then he asked again: "Prisoners, after all, it is difficult to train them. I don't know how the king will act next."

Li Yu looked at Yingzheng, then shook his head and smiled, "I never thought about it, but since Your Majesty dared to appoint a young man in charge of logistics as the general, I believe that General Zhang Han can be the general. .”

Seeing that Li Yu was playing tricks and wanted to trick him, Ying Zheng couldn't help sighing: "The times make heroes, and Junhou is also a lot more tactful."

"Your Majesty needs to rest for a while after recovering from a serious illness, my humble minister..."

Being exposed by Ying Zheng on the spot, Li Yu blushed, and while changing the topic, he also had the intention of leaving.

How could Ying Zheng not know, but he shook his head and said, "The storm is coming."

Li Yu couldn't help slandering: I didn't see your worried look, I'm afraid this fat pork belly didn't grow for nothing.

Li Yu didn't dare to say that, but after thinking about it, he didn't know how to answer the words, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

"Go back."

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief until Ying Zheng said three words, and walked out of the garden in two or three steps.

The reason why Li Yu was in a hurry to retreat was because he wanted to see what was so special about Zhang Han before Ying Zheng's order arrived.

Zhang Han's name must be familiar to everyone.The last general at the end of the Qin Dynasty, successively beheaded several princes and kings who raised troops to attack Qin, including Xiang Liang.

In the end, he lost to Xiang Yu twice, and Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, was named King Yong.

How could Li Yu not see such a character.

On Li Yu's way to Lishan, it began to rain in spring.

Zhang Han himself was drenched in the rain, watching the prisoners carrying building materials in the rain with cold eyes.

"My lord, there is a young man from Xianyang who wants to visit you."

Zhang Han felt a little doubt in his heart, someone from Xianyang?

On the face of Zhang Hanming at this time, he was just a small official who was ordered to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and people from places like Xianyang naturally needed to be taken seriously, so he asked, "Do you leave your name?"

"Never, but the villain heard that the guard next to the man called him Lord Hou."

Immortal Lord Li Yu?
There was an inexplicable smile on Zhang Han's face, as if he had known about it long ago, and he said calmly, "Prepare a change of clothes for me."

"Yes."

In Daqin, large-scale construction sites have a special management agency, called the Supervisory Office, and a Shaofu is fully responsible for the progress of construction.

The Supervision Office is somewhat similar to the current construction headquarters, and Zhang Han's position is equivalent to the Minister of Construction.

Li Yu looked around the mansion out of curiosity. Apart from being able to shelter from the wind and rain, there was really nothing surprising about it.

Just when Li Yu was bored, there was some noise at the door, and a tall man took off his coir raincoat after entering the door, and looked up, and his eyes happened to meet Li Yu's.

Li Yu couldn't help but be startled by Zhang Han's piercing gaze, which seemed not what a logistics officer should have.

But Zhang Han slightly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Zhang Han, has seen your lord."

Li Yu didn't expect Zhang Han to recognize him, and he was a little surprised: "General Zhang Han doesn't need to be too polite, and there will be General Lao Zhang in the future."

General Zhang?
Zhang Han was taken aback when he heard the words, and then changed his mind. He had already gained insight into the key information from Li Yu's words.

But he asked with uncertainty on his mouth: "The general you said, is..."

Li Yu looked at Zhang Han's expression indifferently, and couldn't help saying: "I heard that His Majesty is about to order a general to lead an army of 20 this morning. I am really curious in my heart. How can such an unknown person who has never commanded a soldier When the big job."

Seeing Li Yuyi pointing out something, Zhang Han's expression changed, and he said: "His Majesty Shi Huang is very familiar with the way of employing people, and as a subject, His Majesty has something pointed out, even if his body is broken, he will accept it."

Li Yu became more and more suspicious this time, Zhang Han really was not normal.

But then again, if he didn't have two brushes in his hand, he might not be used by Ying Zheng to build the imperial mausoleum for himself.

"I believe it won't be long before His Majesty's edict will arrive, but the general's burden is not small."

"I also ask Lord Junhou to give advice," Li Yu's words were so straightforward that Zhang Han understood clearly.

Li Yu nodded, very satisfied in his heart, and asked: "The Lingnan army has changed, and the land of Baiyue is dead but not stiff.

His Majesty the First Emperor originally wanted you to recruit 20 soldiers and enter Lingnan in one month, but Ben Hou suggested using 20 prisoners at the foot of Lishan Mountain as an army. I don't know what the general thinks about it. "

The Lingnan Army, one of the three major legions of the empire, actually has a different heart?
Zhang Han was shocked, and said with a serious expression: "Previously the reform cut off a lot of strong men and laborers, but it has been half a year now, even if all the veterans are recruited, the recruitment of 20 soldiers is too hasty, and what Hou Ye said about recruiting these It has to be said that the prisoner is an army, it is a strange strategy, and it is even more a strange soldier."

Speaking of this, Zhang Han couldn't help bowing to Li Yu, and then said: "However, compared with recruited soldiers, prisoners are more difficult to restrain."

Li Yu smiled appreciatively, "Could it be that the general has forgotten the new 'identity card' issued by the empire.

Most of the prisoners in Lishan were survivors of the Six Kingdoms, and a small number were Qin people who broke the law.

Just issue an ID card for them, and then organize them into the army and enjoy the military merit system of killing the enemy. "

Zhang Han's expression changed, and a smile appeared on his face for the first time, and he said: "Your Majesty's high opinion, with such rewards and spurs, it must be feasible."

Li Yu immediately asked: "But I don't know how the General Ruo leads this army of 20 prisoners, compared to the Lingnan Army."

Zhang Han said with a sneer: "The Lingnan army had more than 50 soldiers before. Although the road to the Baiyue land was difficult, most of them would not be killed or injured."

As soon as Li Yu heard that Zhang Han didn't know where his confidence came from, he asked again: "The general is confident. I don't know if the general is the commander-in-chief of the army, who should be the vanguard."

Only then did Zhang Han show embarrassment, and said angrily, "No one is available."

Li Yu calculated like an old fox, and he ate Zhang Han to death step by step, and immediately smiled: "This Marquis has quite a few generals, who can be the vanguards to kill the enemy."

Zhang Han was startled, it turned out that this was the purpose of Xian Junhou.

But after thinking about it, the appointment of recruits came suddenly. Although Lishan Prisoners are good, they still have some gaps with the Lingnan Army. If there is no general to lead, Zhang Han knows how difficult it is for him to win.

Zhang Han could only feel relieved, and said, "I still hope that the Lord will help you."

Having said that, Zhang Han also has a lot of misery in his heart. As the hidden guard commander created by the first emperor, this secret can only be buried in his heart.

And this identity is precisely the reason why Ying Zheng trusts Zhang Han, but Li Yu doesn't know it.
