"According to reports, Meng Tian commanded an army out of the Great Wall, and Yang Wengzi led his army out of Xiaoguan. Under the attack from east and west, the Xiongnu have completely retreated. The south of the great river is the land of our Great Qin."

Ying Ziyi hit Haqie, and said with sleepy eyes: "It's only been one night, and the Xiongnu are about to be wiped out. The changes in this world are really fast!"

"Your Highness, Peng Yue has already started to act."

Xiaohe glanced at Ying Ziyi and reminded him.

"I know." Ying Ziyi nodded and said. "Let Fatty Jin come over."

"Yes, Your Highness."

At this time, Xiaomeng woke up from her sleep, put her arms around Ying Ziyi's waist, and stuck her whole body behind him.

Xiaohe glanced at Xiaomeng, then lowered his head and backed out.

"You have been living in the clouds all these years. Now, are you finally going to make a move?" Xiaomeng said in an intimate voice.

"I've been planting the field for four years. Now, it's time to start."

The empire raised [-] troops to attack the Huns in the north.Overnight, the mountains and rivers changed color, and the south of the Yellow River was all Qin.

But that's just the beginning.

How to manage such a vast land?In fact, Qin Huang already had the answer in his heart.

Daqin's current military system can be roughly divided into five parts.

The Guanzhong army guarding Qinchuan for [-] miles are all elite Qin troops, roughly [-].

The Kwantung Army guarding the six countries has roughly [-] soldiers, but among this part, there are a large number of soldiers from the six countries, and the composition is complicated.In order to maintain the stability of the counties and counties in the Kwantung region, Emperor Qin recruited a large number of old clans from the six countries, many of whom served in the Kwantung Army.For example, Chen Rong, who rebelled in Zhaodi a few years ago, they were loyal to Daqin on the surface, but no one knew what they thought in secret.

Guarding the Baiyue Army in Xiang County, Guilin County and Nanhai County.Because of Ying Ziyi, the battle in Baiyue ended quickly, and the size of the Baiyue Army remained at around [-].Among them, Zhao Tuo, the magistrate of Longchuan County, and Ren Xiao of Panyu were the most elite.

The Western Region Legion directly under Ying Ziyi's jurisdiction is about [-] people.This group of people takes Zhaowu City, the capital of the Western Regions, as their heart, and the scope of their control extends from Dawan Kingdom in the west to Wuche City in the east.Most of the troops are cavalry, and they can come and go freely in this wide area.

The remaining one is the Great Wall Legion that now takes all of the land of Henan and the land of Qin, with a number of about [-].

Today's military is not a fully professional killing machine.Just like the Wei soldiers under Wu Qi in Hexi in the past, they were completely out of production, and they were like mercenary troops.Although elite, with the financial resources of Wei, the overlord of the Central Plains, the number of Wei's military pawns in its heyday was only maintained at [-], let alone other countries.

Even in today's Great Qin, there are only a small number of professional troops that are completely out of production.Most of the others are semi-professional troops based on farming and warfare, half farming and half soldiers.

This is probably also the reason why the [-] Baiyue troops never went north in another time and space.

Qin Huang passed away, and the [-] Qin army had lost the leader who swore allegiance to the death.The newly enthroned second generation Hu Hai, apart from being extravagant and lustful, killed all his brothers and sisters, the ministers and generals left behind by Emperor Qin, and even forgot all the soldiers in the Baiyue land.

How can such an emperor be convincing?I don't know what kind of feelings the Southeast First Lieutenant Zhao Tuo felt in his heart when he saw the rebellion of the six kingdoms and gave the absolute order to abandon the chi road built by the soldiers of the empire with painstaking efforts.

Is it the eagerness to try to realize one's own ambition, or the helpless sigh of seeing a great empire come to an end?

Be a farmer in leisure time and a soldier in wartime.The Great Wall Legion is such an army.

Before the Northern Expedition to the Huns, the empire had already discussed how to govern this vast land.

Establish Beidi and Jiuyuan two counties, and place all the land of Henan under its rule.In addition, along the banks of the Yellow River, forty-four county towns were built, and millions of people were relocated to fill their soil.

The empire has millions of people and [-] troops stationed on the northern border of the empire to digest the land.Moreover, the final plan is to capture the fertile land north of the Yellow River and south of Yangshan Mountain, and build a Great Wall to defend Beihu along the dangerous edge of Yangshan Mountain and Yinshan Mountain.

If this plan is successful, there will be a defense line spanning thousands of miles on the long border of the northern border of the empire, preventing Bei Hu from going south.

And Ying Ziyi has been preparing for this plan for four years.

Ying Ziyi's direct jurisdiction is centered on the Hexi Corridor where Zhaowu City and Wuche City are located, of which Wuche City is the largest.

The area around Wuche City is mixed with Hu and Qin, with a population of [-]. It is an important town on the Silk Road connecting the east and the west.

In a few years, the Chidao connecting Fuping County from Wuche City to the north has been completed.Starting from Fuping County, you can go to the north in the west and Jiuyuan in the north.

Once these lands are connected, it means that the cows and sheepskins on the grassland, the horses with scimitars, and even slaves can rely on this road and quickly digest them on the Silk Road.

In charge of Linglong Pavilion, the largest chamber of commerce under Ying Ziyi's subordinates, Fatty Jin, a merchant from the Wei Kingdom, is now becoming more and more wealthy.He was wearing a large brocade suit, with two moustache, holding his signature golden abacus in his hand, licking his belly, with a potbellied face, and walked into Ying Ziyi tremblingly. In the side hall dealing with government affairs.

"This subordinate pays homage to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Fatty Jin came to Ying Ziyi and bowed his hands.

"You don't need to be so polite." Seeing Fatty Jin like this, Ying Ziyi almost couldn't bend down. "How are things going?"

"According to His Royal Highness's plan, preparations have been made over the years. Linglong Pavilion's fleet collected a large amount of wood from Baiyue, transported it to Guanzhong, and then went north along the Chi Road. Among the warehouses in the counties of Jiuyuan Shangjun, At this moment, a large amount of construction materials such as wood and stone have been hoarded. In addition, a lot of materials are also being transferred to the north.”

"En!" Ying Ziyi nodded, the land of Baiyue is rich in wood resources, and most of the straight wood used to build the temple was transported from there.Of course, such a large-scale transportation will naturally consume a lot.However, Ying Ziyi intends to maintain a huge fleet that can travel north and south along the waters of the empire, and such consumption is within an acceptable range.

Moreover, besides timber, other resources that are abundant in Baiyue Land are also being traded in Linglong Pavilion.

At least, now in Xianyang City, the dignitaries and dignitaries are vying to see the strange beasts like elephants, giraffes, peacocks, etc., which can bring a lot of income to Linglong Pavilion every day, which is still not enough to describe it as making money every day.

"At this moment, the land of Henan has been pacified, and Meng Tian's troops will soon cross the river. Taking advantage of this, when other chambers of commerce are not prepared, immediately sell the wood and stone stored in the counties to the border. The empire established counties, It will require a lot of building materials. This time, Linglong Pavilion can make a lot of money."

"This subordinate understands." In Fatty Jin's eyes, a golden light flickered, and he was already eager to try. "Reporting to His Royal Highness, Linglong Pavilion has established several horse gardens in the Northland under His Highness's order. We have hired many horse masters who are proficient in grooming and breeding horses, and we use sweat horses from the Western Regions and prairie horses from the barbarians as breeds. , to breed better horse breeds. Today, it has achieved small results."

"Oh?" Ying Ziyi was a little surprised, you know, in this era, good war horses are hard to come by.

"Your Highness must also know that the horse breeds from the Western Regions are extremely fast, but have poor stamina. If the horses from the Western Regions are used to form a cavalry army, after a long march, the horses may have to be scrapped, and they will either die from exhaustion or lose weight seriously. Although the prairie horses of the Hu people have good stamina, they are not as fast as the horses of the Western Regions in terms of marching speed. The new horse breeds bred in the Northland Horse Garden can compare with the prairie horses in terms of endurance, and they are also faster than the prairie horses. It is much faster. Moreover, it is more suitable for fighting in extremely cold places such as the border."

"You've done a good job." Ying Ziyi nodded, and said, "Henan belongs to Daqin, and the horse garden in Linglong Pavilion can be expanded to the north to more than ten. In addition, you can send a horse training team to look north. Excellent breed of horse."

In the Hetao area, along the banks of the Yellow River, there are a large number of grasslands, and there are many excellent breeds of wild horses on them.In the past, because of the Xiongnu, Linglong Pavilion could not send a large number of horse training teams.But at this moment, there is no such concern.

Excellent grasslands can breed a large number of horses, and horses, as the most important means of transportation in this era, are filled in every corner of the road.
