Chapter 2422: The Second Guanzhong War (please vote for me)

 Why don’t the workers welcome the Mohists?

  Naturally because colleagues are enemies.

 Gongjia and Mohism are the only two schools of thought that study technology among hundreds of schools of thought. Naturally, there are many aspects of competition.

The difference between Gongjia and Mohism is that Gongjia only studies technology, while Mohism also pays attention to learning.

 This also resulted in the Mohists beginning to be overtaken by the Gongjia in terms of technological research.

Of course, it’s not much better. Both families still have their own strengths.

 Gongjia is better at metallurgy and ordnance, while Mohism is good at mechanisms and equipment, so they are unable to defeat their opponents in the fields they are good at.

Most of the people in the Ministry of Industry are from the workers' family. Now that the Machinery Department has been established, people from the Mohist family are still in charge. This will undoubtedly seize the interests of the workers' family.

You must know that the funds allocated by the Daqin Ministry of Industry every year are limited. Every time the Mohists take away one more benefit, the Gong family will lose one benefit, so it will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the Gong family.

Many Gongjia disciples approached Liu Ye, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and wanted him to take advantage of the establishment of the Machinery Department to set some traps for Jing Tianming so that he could make mistakes and be dismissed from office.

Once Jing Tianming is dismissed from office, the two old men, Master Xu and Master Ban, will obviously not be able to support the Machinery Department, and the position of director will eventually return to the hands of the workers.

These Gongjia disciples thought of beauty, but before they could finish their words, they were kicked out by Liu Ye.

Liu Ye's brother Liu Huan saw this and asked in confusion: "Second brother, what are you doing?"

From Liu Huan's point of view, Liu Ye was from a Gong family, and now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. These Gong family disciples are all working for him to make a living.

"What? I'll tell these idiots to calm down, don't seek death themselves and hurt others." Liu Ye snorted coldly.

 “That’s not the case.”

"Brother, do you know the purpose of these people? For the sake of the Gong family, they want me to take advantage of my position to set a trap for Jing Tianming and ruin his future. However, they ignore that if they are discovered, I, Liu Yoke, will have committed an abuse of power. It's a crime." Liu Ye said coldly.

 “How could this be discovered?”

 “How is it impossible?”

Liu Ye asked back, and then said: "Brother, after all, our family is a clan of the Han Dynasty, and younger brother, I am in a high position and attract attention.

Many people below are staring at me, Liu Ye, just waiting for me to make a mistake. How can I give them this chance? "

Although Liu Ye was Ying Hao's Conglong minister and one of the 108 princes who founded the Qin Dynasty, he also had a fatal identity, that is, he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ye became one of the six ministers and was able to compete for the position of prime minister. This naturally made those who were worried about the restoration of the Han Dynasty regard him as a thorn in their side.

There is a small group of people within the Qin family who have always wanted to kick Liu Ye out of the court, but Liu Ye was too cautious and had almost no stain, so he never succeeded.

 So, Liu Ye only showed his superiority and glory, and only he could understand the sadness and pain involved.

But fortunately, Emperor Ying Hao still trusted him as before, which also filled Liu Ye's heart with comfort, thinking that all the grievances he had suffered were worth it.

Liu Ye's words scared Liu Huan into a cold sweat. He had no idea that there was such a big hidden danger in his home.

"Brother, you should be careful when serving in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You must not accept bribes, otherwise I will be implicated." Liu Ye said seriously.

“Second brother, although my Liu family is not a big family, it is also an heir of poetry and calligraphy. How could my eldest brother do such a thing?”

Liu Huan said with an unhappy face, feeling that his younger brother Liu Ye underestimated him.

Liu Ye didn't say much, he just gave his brother a vaccination.

On the same day, Liu Ye summoned the Ordnance Department Song Yingxing and severely criticized him.

Song Yingxing was scolded by his boss for a long time. He didn’t know why he was scolded. When he found out, he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

 These idiots are causing trouble for the Mo family at this time. Don’t you know that Your Majesty values ​​Jing Tianming very much? If Liu Ye is implicated, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?

Liu Ye's Minister of the Ministry of Industry is the most important position of the Gongjia in the court. Once he is implicated and dismissed from office, and the new Minister is not from the Gongjia, the strength of the Gongjia will be seriously damaged.

“Don’t worry, sir, I will definitely restrain my subordinates after they return.” Song Yingxing said extremely seriously.

Liu Ye felt relieved after hearing this.

Ying Hao naturally knew about the fight between the Gongmo family, but he didn't care.

What hundreds of schools compete for in the court is just for an important position. For example, the Gong family must compete for the Minister of Industry and the Department of Ordnance, while the Confucianists must compete for the Minister of Rites, the Department of Education, etc.

 There is a carrot and a pit, and each position represents the corresponding rights and functions.

 But these important positions are just a matter of words to Ying Hao, while Baijia needs to go through layers of planning and exchange of interests to obtain them.

 The emperor's power is so great.

In order to settle the Mohist family, Ying Hao planned to set up a new department under the Ministry of Works and put Jing Tianming in charge. After the news was spread back to Chu State, it caused an uproar within the Mohist family.

Everyone in the Mo family obviously did not expect that those who followed Jing Tianming would receive such courtesy from Da Qin, and they secretly regretted not leaving with Tianming.

Many people got up and left the Chu State together to go north to join Jing Tianming's plan, which Yan Dan saw and felt anxious in his heart.

After Yan Dan severely punished many traitors who secretly rebelled, he not only failed to kill this unhealthy trend, but more people fled. He had no choice but to report truthfully to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was naturally unwilling to let the Mohists leave, so he improved the Mohists' salary while accelerating the official reform within Chu State.

 The Three Provinces and Six Ministries system of the Qin Dynasty. Because he did not know the effect before, Liu Xiu naturally did not dare to follow suit rashly.

Now Da Qin has implemented it for more than a year, and the results have been remarkable, so Liu Xiu is also preparing to implement it in Chu State, but this will obviously take time to transform.

Not only Chu State, but also Shu, Tang, Sui and other countries were preparing to implement the three provinces and six ministries system, and all countries were caught in the gap of changing official positions.

“Your Majesty, after the three kingdoms of Shu, Tang and Sui, the four kingdoms of Wei, Song, Wu and Ming have implemented the system of three provinces and six ministries, and the Yuan and Qing Dynasties are also making preparations.”

 In the morning, Jia Xu reported to Ying Haohui.

“These guys are really smart and see the advantages of this system.”

Ying Hao sneered, then looked at Xun Yu and asked: "Shang Shu, how are the arrangements for the immigration of Yingzhou and Luzon?" Xun Yu stood up and replied: "Your Majesty. Yingzhou's immigration recruitment has gone smoothly. Under the land, women and other policies, many people who are not living a good life are willing to immigrate to Yingzhou. Currently, the number of people registered to immigrate has reached 100,000. It will probably take more They can all be moved to Yingzhou in one month.”

“Well done, the work of receiving immigrants must also be done well, but we cannot let immigrants not even have a place to live after they go.

In addition, immigrants to Yingzhou need to continue to be recruited. With just these 100,000 people, Yingzhou cannot be completely assimilated. "

 “I obey the order.”

“By the way, what about the immigration situation in Luzon?” Ying Hao asked again.

"The immigration situation in Luzon is not good. Even if land and women are distributed for free, people are not willing to immigrate to Luzon, which is thousands of miles away. Currently, the total number of registered people is only 20,000, even after including criminals and prisoners from various places. , there are only thirty thousand people in total.”

Xun Yu replied, and the 30,000 people he mentioned were not just the people recruited from one state, but the nine states of the Qin Dynasty. They only recruited so many people in total.

 This also shows that the lives of the people of Daqin are much better. At least they no longer need to worry about their livelihood, otherwise they would definitely agree to emigrate.

“Only 30,000? It’s a bit small.” Ying Hao muttered.

Luzon is the most important transit point in Ying Hao's sea trade plan. Once Daqin has a fixed logistics base in Luzon, it can use local materials to make goods and sell them in Nanyang. In this way, the sea routes to the Western Ocean will also be shortened by one hour. Most of it.

 It will take a long time to open up wasteland in Luzon and establish a good logistics base, let alone conduct foreign trade.

 But these 30,000 people alone, even if 20,000 female slaves are added, a total of 50,000 people, is obviously not enough.

Ying Hao can't wait that long. He wants to completely develop Luzon from scratch within a year, and then let Luzon feed back the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the migrant population of Luzon.

Ying Hao also thought of several ways to increase the population of Luzon.

 First, continue to recruit immigrants and at the same time increase the benefits of immigrating to Luzon to attract people to migrate to Luzon.

 Second, since the Han people are unwilling to go, then the Japanese from Yingzhou can be moved there to serve as labor force.

 Three, capture the natives of Nanyang to serve as laborers,

 Four, use the population summoning card.

Ying Hao also has 5 summoning cards with a population of 100,000 in his hand, which can summon a total of 500,000 people, which is perfect for Yingzhou and Luzon.

“System, use 5 summoning cards with a population of 100,000, 2 for Yingzhou and 3 for Luzon.” Ying Hao ordered.

　　Okay, after consuming 5 100,000 population summoning cards, the population of Yingzhou will increase by 200,000, and the population of Luzon will increase by 300,000. In the next six months, these populations will migrate to Yingzhou and Luzon in the form of immigrants. 】

Yingzhou has a 100,000 migrant population and a 200,000 summoned population, which is 300,000 Han people. Each of them marries a Japanese girl and goes home, which is a population of 600,000. This is enough to promote the ethnic integration between Han and Japanese.

Of course, if Da Qin occupied all four Japanese islands,

As for Luzon, the migrant population of 50,000, plus the summoned population of 300,000, brings a total population of 350,000, which is equivalent to a medium-sized county.

Sima Lang, the governor of Luzon, is not an incompetent person. With a population of 350,000, Xiang will be able to carve out a world in Luzon within a year.

  After settling the immigration matters in Japan and Luzon, there will naturally be no problems next.

 Maritime trade, immigration, the three major projects, etc., Daqin's multiple fronts are moving forward hand in hand and developing together, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Ying Hao only needs to wait for the flowers to bear fruit.

 One month later, as the impact of the establishment of the Enshrinement Hall was fermented, a large number of talents and strong men joined in, making Da Qin's power among hundreds of schools reach its peak.

After Ying Hao realized this, he decided to launch a local war to capture Guanzhong in advance and test the Taoist reaction.

“Your Majesty, it has only been a year and a half since the Treaty of Luoyang was signed. Are we, Great Qin, going to tear it up with our own hands?” Wang Meng said.

"Prime Minister Wang, remember, the treaty was signed with the intention of being torn up. It is better for us to take the initiative to tear it up than to be torn up by others." Ying Hao said.

“However, our country, the Qin Dynasty, is now developing well, and its national strength is growing every day. Starting a war hastily may interrupt the development process of our country, the Qin Dynasty.”

“No, I don’t want to destroy the Tang Dynasty, nor do I want to unify Guanxi, I just want to completely win over Guanzhong, and my opponent is only the Tang Dynasty.

The troops in Si and Yong Prefectures are determined to fight quickly. If everything goes well, it will be over within a month or two and will not affect the development of Great Qin. "

"But…"

Wang Meng did not want to start a war at this time. After all, Da Qin's current development momentum was so good, and its national power was growing every day, a big step every year. He hoped that the war could be completed after the planned three years of cultivation.

But what the emperor said makes sense. With the current power of the Qin Dynasty, it would not be easy to use the troops of the two states to attack the vassal state of Tang, and it would obviously not affect the development of the Qin Dynasty.

Wang Meng tried to persuade him a few more times. Seeing that the emperor's attitude was firm, he stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, the Tang State is our vassal state of the Qin Dynasty. It has been very obedient for the past year and a half and has not done anything disrespectful. I am afraid that raising troops for no reason will arouse criticism." Xun Yu said.

When Ying Hao heard this, he said nonchalantly: "This is not simple, just find an excuse.

Just last month, it was the Empress Dowager's birthday. I invited Tang Gong to come and celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday, but Li Shimin refused on the pretext of being ill. He obviously didn't take me seriously.

Just because of this, I will beat him without any discussion. "

 When all the ministers present heard this, their mouths couldn't help but twitch.

This reason is really far-fetched, but if you want to use it, it can indeed be used. After all, filial piety comes first.

 Da Qin had an army of 150,000 troops in Sizhou, including 20,000 cavalry, and in Yongzhou there were 70,000 troops, including 20,000 cavalry.

 In the Sili area, there were a total of 220,000 Qin troops, including 40,000 cavalry.

As for the Tang State, all the people in Guanzhong were soldiers. However, as the war ended, the temporarily recruited troops were naturally disbanded. After all, they could not afford to keep them.

At present, the total strength of the Tang State in Guanzhong is 120,000, and most of them are concentrated in the city of Chang'an. Taking Chang'an is equivalent to gaining the entire Guanzhong.

Three of the four passes in Guanzhong were all captured by the Qin army. The Tang state did not even have a gateway at all, and the Qin army could come and leave at will.

So in this battle against the Tang Dynasty, Ying Hao planned to let Li Jing adopt a blitzkrieg. Before the Tang Dynasty and other countries could react, he would directly break through Chang'an with lightning speed and completely occupy Guanzhong.

This was the second Guanzhong War between Qin and Tang, and it would also be the last.
