C424 No Glory

Under the setting sun, the Yellow River was raging. He took a closer look and saw that the sky above the Yellow River was dyed a deep orange. As the saying goes, "even the tiny sails move Daiying, the gentle wind and water turn the golden waves." The light of the setting sun shone on the carriage as the horse on the shore passed the moon. The traveller hurriedly asked for directions, and the six dragons tried to stop him from moving forward. " At this moment, a giant warship was moving against the current on the Yellow River. The flying ship was like a moving fortress, because it was too big. The captain was about 640 meters (1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters) wide, 280 feet wide, and 640 feet tall. It was three stories high, with a dozen masts on it.

This was not Qin Army's main battleship, the Five Tooth Ship, but instead a multi-purpose naval ship equipped by the Qin Army. It could take on both combat and mission tasks, and could also be used as a cargo ship. At that time, Xie Fei had considered that Five-Tooth Battleship were not suitable for the deep seas, they were easy to flip over, and their resistance to wind and waves was poor. Although the Pirate State was able to reach China by boat at that time, the ships in the Pirate State were not only small, their safety was also poor.

This huge ship had two large flags at the bow of the ship, and one of the flags had a green dragon embroidered on it with bared fangs and brandished claws. On the bottom of the flag, there were six large golden words, written on it. The other side was written in white on a black background with the word "Zhou" written on it. Under the command of General Zhou stood a man dressed in exquisite armor made of rhinoceros skin, on his waist stood a Qin blade, which was one of the four great blades of the Tang Dynasty, with two handles, long blade, and many of them were straight blades. The Tang Dynasty was used by the imperial guards, but the Qin State only had the overall equipment of the Luan Guards, and other generals above Academy Officer, who were qualified to wear it. However, there were different grades and ranks of tools. High ranked generals such as Beigong Chun, Du Ceng and the others all used gold-studded handles, while General Wei and all the other official Titled Generals had silver-studded handles, while the rest had copper-studded handles. This general was very thin, his eyes were sunken in, and his face was sallow. If not for his Qin Army General Armor, he would be like an African refugee.

This was the commander of the Great Qin Army's naval forces, General Volbo, Zhou Yang. Right now, the Qin State Navy was in its infancy form, so Zhou Yang could only wear a normal blade with a gold handle. Even though Zhou Yang's face was currently sickly, he had his head held high and his chest puffed up.

"Reporting to general, we are almost at first yang doe in ten miles!"

When first yang doe was mentioned, most people would not even know where they were. But if another name was mentioned. It could be said that no one in the Tongguan didn't know of this. first yang doe was a small crossing under the jurisdiction of Tongguan County, the second stage of China's top ten. On the first yang doe, the letter to the east of the ancient Road of Zhanzheng is opposite to the letter to the Valley Pass. The Tongguan was the east gate of the pass, and had always been a place where all the troops fought. As the first Yellow River Bridge in history was built during the era of Hongwu, at this time, there was still not a single bridge over the Yellow River. Other than temporary construction of a floating bridge, the two sides of the Yellow River only had one bridge over the Yellow River, and that was using a small boat or sheepskin raft to ferry people across.

When he heard that he was only five kilometers away from the first yang doe, Zhou Yang's heart surged with passion, and his heart was unable to calm down. Thinking back to when he followed Xie Fei's orders to lead eight thousand troops and five equally ranked ocean-going ships in Oceanic America. 572 days ago, he had been drifting on the endless sea without seeing any solid ground. He had to endure the scorching sun or the rain every day. How difficult and torturous was this? Needless to say, they had experienced dozens of hurricanes and tsunamis, four giant warships had been swallowed up by the Pacific Ocean, and more than six thousand of their comrades had perished in the sea.

It was Xie Fei who personally saw him out from Chang An more than a year ago. He shouldered Xie Fei's ardent hopes, and even though he had already trained to the point of being stone-hearted due to the storm, he could no longer contain his excitement. He choked with sobs, "Your majesty, I have finally accomplished my mission and reached America, where I have found what you need!"

In this ocean-going America, not only would they have to fight against the harsh weather, but they would also have to fight to the death with the natives while resupplying the dozens of small and large islands. On average, every naval officer would have to be rewarded with at least a third class military exploit. More than a hundred days on the water, they had been tormented by illness and lack of food and drink, but they had all been tested, not only to draw more detailed charts, but also to open up dozens of supply points to the Americas.

Zhou Yang was excited, and so were the rest of the Navy's soldiers who followed him. Hurry up, accelerate. We're back! "

first yang doe. Within three days, the originally small ferry entrance had been renovated, and the huge ferry entrance was filled with people, bustling with noise and excitement. This famed ancient and military town welcomed the kind of liveliness that it hadn't seen in a long time. On first yang doe's mouth, there was a huge "Welcome back, hero!"

Accompanied by the great cheers of "Hero has returned" from the ministers and generals of the Tongguan, this voice resounded throughout the world and shook the clouds.

To be honest, these ministers and generals did not know how big the Pacific Ocean was. Although the people of Qin State were good in fighting, when they were first ordered to welcome the return of the navy, many of them were unwilling to do so. As the chief messenger, Wang Meng said to the officials and high-ranking officers, "If you were to float on the vast ocean for the past five hundred and seventy-two days, not only would you have to endure the rough weather, but you would also have to endure the torrential storm. Do you understand the hardships involved? Just by your tenacious willpower, you are able to make me respect you! "

Although these ministers and generals were from the north, most of them had been on the boat before. Even the Yellow River, which was over a thousand meters wide, was enough to make them tremble with fear, let alone the fact that they had spent more than five hundred days in the sea, living on a small warship.

Countless civilians and soldiers rushed towards the ferry in high spirits. The huge pier was instantly filled with people who were so excited! When he saw the first leader of the group, the Prime Minister Wang Meng, Zhou Yang's eyes moistened. To be able to cause the Great Qin Army to come over hundreds of miles away to welcome him after so long of fighting with their lives on the line, what kind of honor was this? This was more pleasing than bestowing a gold mountain. Wang Meng praised Zhou Yang's achievements in the Far Ocean America as he brought along Xie Fei's speech, welcoming him and the others with the highest standard. At the same time, Wang Meng also came to welcome him on behalf of Xie Fei.

"Zhou Yang led departments to open up ocean lanes. and bring American specialties, to establish an unparalleled achievement, I, Wang Meng, have sent to welcome you back! " This was what Xie Fei meant by that. At the same time, it was also Xie Fei's mental reward to the general who built up his achievements.

Xie Fei had always thought that the material rewards would be the basis of ensuring the fighting strength of the army, but that day, after a long conversation with Zhuge Mingyue, he realized the inadequacies of this reward. Zhuge Mingyue said to Xie Fei: "Among the Qin Army, there are countless people who can fight well, and at the first level of decapitation, they have to be rewarded with ten acres of land. When the Han Wu Emperor was at the time, one of the Han army could fight against twenty over Hu Bing, and now, the Qin Army's fighting strength is only stronger than the Han army at that time. "Although His Majesty has suppressed the current family, after a long time, the military merits will gradually form into a new family clan. This goes against His Majesty's original intention; even if he wants to use this method to destroy the land with military merits, it will make these soldiers feel disheartened!"

Only now did Zhuge Mingyue realize the danger involved. In history, Napoleon of France was defeated in this way. Napoleon ruled the army very strictly. He always liked to be rewarded for his meritorious service, and was punished for his actions. Napoleon used his vast resources to reward his morale. In the beginning, the French army was invincible in Europe, and as Napoleon fought more and more victories, his soldiers gradually became millionaires. In the Franco-Prussian War, twenty thousand French troops were able to wipe out ninety thousand Prussians, but in the Leipzig campaign, the French army was defeated by two times the number of anti-French allies. In the Franco-French War, twenty thousand French troops were able to wipe out ninety thousand Prussians, but in the Leipzig campaign, the French army was defeated by two times the number of anti-French allies.

Xie Fei adhered to the principle of beating the clan members into hoarding their land, but the matter of the later generations harming a part of the clan members had also occurred in the past. Xie Fei felt a headache coming on. The military discipline was not strict, the rewards and punishments were unknown and the battle prowess was not guaranteed. Similarly, the continued material rewards were not harmful either, the richer they were, the more they were afraid of death. Back then, the volunteer army was able to defeat the United Nations Army using backward weapons. Although the modern Chinese military technology was greatly improved compared to before, and was gradually becoming more and more compatible with the world, Xie Fei knew that if they were to fight now, the situation would definitely be dire. It was definitely thin.

A dilemma presented itself in front of Xie Fei. It was impossible to not reward the Qin Army. In the Song Dynasty, the military technology was also at the forefront of the world. However, after watching two Song dynasties for more than two hundred years, the number of victories in the Song Army's foreign wars could be counted on one hand. The Song Dynasty also became a country without internal causes in Chinese history, which was directly destroyed by the foreign tribes. Xie Fei knew from Song Shi that the rewards and punishments at that time were unknown in the Song Army, the military discipline was not strict, and the morale was low. This was the reason for the failure.

Although the Qin State was in the process of becoming a frightened soldier, this was definitely a hidden danger. Since the existence of a threat was, of course, Xie Fei would not allow the empire that he single-handedly created to be destroyed. Xie Fei was at a loss on what to do and was in a dilemma.

But at this moment, Zhuge Mingyue said with a faint smile, "Does the emperor know of Wu Qi?"

Xie Fei was startled. As a member of the later generations of the army, he was clear that the grandson of the《 Sun Wu Martial Arts》 was a grandson while Wu Qi was a disciple. Xie Fei said: "Wu Qi was a famous early Warring States political reformer, an outstanding military expert, general, military reformer, and it was Wu Qi who created the military assessment system."

Zhuge Mingyue shook her head, "Does the emperor know of Wu Qi's story?"

It was only then that Xie Fei suddenly realized that he had always been in the wrong. Being able to rule the army meant that they had to show their power and kindness. Speaking of the mental reward, Xie Fei could not help but think of Chairman Jiang's Day Medal and the Sword of Mount Zhong. The yellow cattail officer was proud of this. Xie Fei ordered the Institute of Martial Studies to create a whole batch of swords in a single night. The first sword was known as the 36 swords, named after the Heavenly Dipper Constellation, and each sword was unique and unique. At the same time, the scabbard and sword hilt were decorated with gold and silver as well as precious gems.

From the first yang doe to Chang An, they were all there to welcome the citizens who had returned. All along the way, the people celebrated and cheered. The praises never stopped. Zhou Yang felt that he had done enough for the Qin State to praise him as a hero. However, he was truly surprised at how courteous he was.

Along the way, Zhou Yang and the other officers and officers felt as if they were walking on cotton cotton.

By the Changan Dongba Bridge. A team of imperial guards and a team of imperial guards separated into two groups. The bridge had been destroyed during the Changan Water Attack, and it was a new bridge that had just been built. Currently, there was a person wearing imperial robes and a crown on his head standing on the bridge. It was none other than Xie Fei. Xie Fei actually walked out of Chang An to welcome him. It was truly unexpected to Zhou Yang that within the army of the Qin Army, Xie Fei was like a god, and he was even more so an idol to Zhou Yang.

Maybe other people did not know the meaning behind the sweet potato, but Xie Fei knew that the reason why China's population increased so dramatically was mainly because of the Qing Dynasty. It was not because of how wise and wise the Qing Dynasty's emperor was, but because with these three types of crops, he would be able to raise more people on the limited land. If one wanted to expand, with the Qin Army's combat power and equipment, it would only take a mere million yuan to reach the Caspian Sea. However, it was not impossible for the Qin State to spare a million troops, but the citizens of the Qin State were unable to afford it. If one wanted to develop humans, one needed a large amount of food. Without food, even if one implemented a policy to encourage fertility, the people would not be able to move forward.

At this time, the harvest of 10 mu of land was only enough for two people to eat. One mu of land for later generations was enough for a family to eat for a year. This was the difference. What if he grew a lot of sweet potato? A family of two acres was more or less enough. Sweet potato and potato were introduced to China from the Philippines ten thousand years later, and planting them twelve hundred years in advance would definitely bring about a great harvest. Besides, whether sweet potato or potato green has high nutritional value, rich in starch, vitamins, cellulose and other essential nutrients of the human body, but also rich in magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and linoleic acid and other mineral elements. These substances maintain vascular elasticity and are very effective in preventing and treating habitual constipation in old age. At the same time, regular eating can also improve the overall quality of people.

Xie Fei's face was flushed red. At this time, even if he was no longer pretending, he could still manifest the dignity of an emperor, a majesty that had been cultivated through a long period of living in a high position.

Zhou Yang, Wang Meng and the other generals of the Qin Army all hurried forward to pay their respects, "Greeting your majesty!"

The surrounding naval officers and imperial guards shouted in unison, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

In fact, the commoners didn't know what Zhou Yang did, they only knew that he was a general. But they all believed in Xie Fei. Xie Fei divided the land between them and provided them with seeds and farmed the cattle. It was enough for them to live a good life. The commoners thought that it was very simple. Someone who could cause the Emperor to leave the city in such a grand manner was definitely not an ordinary person. Perhaps he was the one who loved Wu Hai?

Xie Fei said happily: "Zhou Yang, you have lived up to our expectations, your hard work has been great, and I thank you on behalf of all the lives of the world!"

He then bowed deeply. In ancient times, people paid attention to the status of Heaven and Earth Lords' masters and teachers, and there was a difference in status. This caused Zhou Yang to turn pale with fright. He knelt and said, "This subject is terrified! Your Majesty, this is Crooked Shark's humble subject! "

Xie Fei said with a stern face: "Zhou Yang, you deserve it, you absolutely deserve it!" Xie Fei knew that he was treating Zhou Yang so courteously, causing all the officials in the imperial court to complain, it was just that Xie Fei was a powerful emperor, they did not dare to disobey his orders to kill him. In the ancient times, the main responsibility for traitorous officials' power lay with the emperor. Xie Fei turned around and spoke loudly to the rest: "Tell me, shouldn't Zhou Yang conduct himself in such a manner?"

Faced with Xie Fei's questioning, everyone was at a loss.

The smile on Xie Fei's face calmed down, and he said coldly: "Five hundred and seventy-two days, drifting on the boundless ocean is an extremely arduous journey that none of you know about. You don't even know how powerful the tornadoes are. Do you know what Zhou Yang brought to us? You don't know. During the reign of Emperor Huidi, the imperial government was in chaos, the last eight kings were fighting against each other, and their deadly kingdoms were extremely weak.

Xie Fei continued to speak, "In the ten years since Martial Emperor Taikang was established and Emperor Taixi was born (282-292), the natural disasters did not stop for a few more years. And then there were the plague of locusts, and the countless dead: and the river was full of corpses, and their bones covered the fields. Many people are forced not to become food for the children, but I calm the world, exterminate the Hu, but there is no power to solve the world of people eating problems. The people eat like the heavens, and now I can assure you that from now on, you will no longer have to fear natural disasters and will never live without food. "I was warned by an Immortal that in America, thousands of miles away, there are sweet potatoes, corn and other kinds of food. From today onwards, people will no longer have to fear hunger, and will be able to produce ten stones per acre of manure, ten stones per acre of land per acre of manure, and a harvest of ten acre of land per acre of land."

"Long live the Emperor!"

It was better than nothing. Although the Qin Emperor had given them a tax cut, their harvest was low, and this year, Hu Bing had destroyed millions of acres of land surrounding Chang An, making their harvest completely gone. Although they could get help from the Western Region and the Yizhou, they did not have any food on hand.

Although a yield of one or two thousand pounds per mu might sound absurd, they did not believe that the Emperor would speak without thinking. Just then, the citizens' gazes towards Zhou Yang started to change, this was their respect from the bottom of their hearts. However, they respected Xie Fei the most. The way the ancient people thought was very strange, their officials were corrupt and they harmed a part of the country. They were a villain and had nothing to do with the Emperor. If there was an official or a good one, it was all due to the emperor.

Now, a loud shout of "long live" resounded through the sky, shaking the entire world.

On the way back to the Chang'an City from the Tyrant Bridge, Xie Fei lowered his body and helped Zhou Yang lead the horse.

When water can carry a boat, it can capsize the boat. Those who gained the hearts of the people, the world. At this time, Xie Fei had not only become what the common people called a righteous and unparalleled Holy Lord, he was also a model of a good and respectful corporal.

As for Zhou Yang, he became number one, and became the Heavenly Bravery Sword of the thirty-six swords of Heavenly Dipper. The first general of the emperor to lead his horse. The first naval officer to enter Cloudsoaring Pavilion. The first official who was not given an acre of land as a reward.
