Chapter Forty-Nine: The New Capital of Chang'an, the Overlord of the Domain
"Is this Chang'an?"
Han Xin rode on a horse, overlooking the majestic city in the distance, Chang'an, from a high ridge.
The city wall is as high as six feet, and at a glance, you can't see the edge. The tall city gate, the east, west, north and south are placed three gates, can be described as the place of the four directions, the majestic capital of Kyushu.
"This city has already used 300,000 laborers, and now that the external facilities have been built, the construction of the walls of the imperial city has begun."
Next to Han Xin was Xiao He, the head of the Prince's Mansion who came to greet him. Xiao He was dressed in cloth clothes and riding on a horse, looking like an ordinary businessman. He and Han Xin were in the same prince's mansion before, and they usually don't look up and look down, so they are also very familiar.
"Lord Xiao He, this city was built by His Royal Highness the Prince?" Ever since Han Xin accepted Ying Ziyi's talisman, his name for Ying Ziyi has changed.
"That's right." Xiao He nodded, "Not only that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also built a pass in Taolin, and built a large granary near Longxi, Wuche City, Jinguan City, and even big cities in various parts of Kanto, a series of arrangements, which are really intriguing!" Xiao He stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully.
Han Xin looked at Xiao He, Xiao He was about to pass the age of not being confused, but he was very well maintained. Tight and fair skin, even if he is in his early twenties, it is not that no one believes it.
"His Majesty the First Emperor has leveled the six countries, and now that the war in all parts of the world is beginning to extinguish, he should have recuperated and recuperated, governed the fields and the people, but" Speaking of this, Xiao He did not continue. Xiao He is good at the country, and together with the people, he is proficient in the law and punishment, and is in charge of the expenditure of money and food in the prince's mansion, and he has a huge channel of wealth and goods in his hands. Naturally, I also know that the livelihood of the people outside Hangu Pass is withering now? After being an official in the Qin court for a few years, Xiao He naturally felt what kind of existence the one who was in the position of the ninety-five in Xianyang City now? The world was initially decided, but the Qin Emperor was in all parts of the world to build fortifications, build the Great Wall, repair the Chi Road, build Chang'an, Tongling Canal, abolish the Six Kingdoms script, unified weights and measures under a series of measures, if it was changed to a king with slightly inferior means, I am afraid that the world is already full of smoke at this moment. The existence of Emperor Qin suppressed the ambitious remnants of the Six Kingdoms in the world and did not dare to raise their heads. Emperor Qin is too strong! But because of this, once Emperor Qin is gone, once the undercurrent tide erupts, how amazing will it be?
"Lord Xiao He is not at the right time?"
At first glance, the most secret place in Xiao He's heart seemed to have been poked into a hole. When he looked at Han Xin again, the other party's smile was like a sword, extremely sharp.
What a sharp sword!
Xiao He said so in his heart.
"Looking at what Lord Xiao He said, Han Xin asked here, Lord Xiao He is from Taoism?"
Han Xin's outspokenness made Xiao He's heart feel a little unhappy. Han Xin saw that Xiao He didn't answer, and instead said: "We and other people who use soldiers don't care about the prosperity of the world, only about victory or defeat, life and death. The world is prosperous or dead! What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refers to is what my generation wants. ”
The young man is full of spirit and sincerity, but he can be revealed in broad daylight. Xiao He was not only infected by the sincerity of the young man, but the unhappiness in his heart just now had already been thrown out of the clouds.
Xiao He couldn't help but smile and asked: "If one day the world is stable and the four seas are clear, how will you deal with yourself?" ”
Oh, yes! If the world no longer needs a sharp sword, but only an iron hoe, then how will Han Xin, the sharpest sword in the world, deal with itself?
Han Xin smiled, lazily stretched his shoulders, and said, "I'll talk about the future later!" There are endless battles in the world, so why talk about those distant things. ”
"Hahaha!" Xiao He laughed and said, "Let's go!" His Majesty the First Emperor summoned the meritorious soldiers of this expedition to Baiyue one day later, you are the youngest of these people, and you have attracted much attention! ”
In the Qin Palace, in the Qin Emperor Palace, the generals stood quietly.
The meritorious soldiers of this expedition to Baiyue were all summoned by the Qin Emperor. From the general Ren Zhao Tuo to a small centurion, they all stood on top of the magnificent and solemn hall.
Emperor Qin's eyes turned away from the generals standing in the first two columns, and focused on one of the captains among them: "Captain Sheng Yong, how does it feel to escape death on the battlefield this time?" ”
Emperor Qin's tone was relaxed for a moment, as if an old friend had met and laughed. Suddenly being named by Emperor Qin like this, Sheng Yong's heart was a little dazed, but when Emperor Qin's words were finished, a warm current surged in Sheng Yong's heart, and he smiled: "Haha, great!" ”
Emperor Qin didn't care about Sheng Yong's rudeness. Great Qin established the country with military force and prospered with military exploits. Emperor Qin was very harsh and even ruthless to his enemies, to his courtiers, and even to himself. However, only for these soldiers, his attitude has always been tolerant.
"I remember that in the early years, you attacked the Wei State with Wang Ben, fought all the way, fought bravely, and was promoted to captain because of your merits. This time, you fought with the prince, although you have lost the army, but you also have the merit of raising the prestige of our army. Go ahead! Whatever reward you want, I will give it to you. ”
"Back to Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that before I led the army, he would give me a mansion, three good fields, and eight wives and concubines, but now that Baiyue has finished fighting, I haven't seen any shadow at all. I don't want anything else, that's all I want. ”
"Hahahaha! Okay, I will give you a mansion in Hedong County, and the good land will be tilted three times, and in addition, I will let Shaofu help you pick eight beauties and give them to you together. For the reckless Sheng Yong, Emperor Qin seemed to be very fond of it, so he said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sheng Yong was rewarded, satisfied, and happily stood back in the queue.
Emperor Qin sits on the throne, and he is usually busy with government affairs, but at this moment, he has the leisure to talk to the soldiers below him one by one and ask about the situation of the other party's family. At this moment, how can Emperor Qin still have millions of slaughterers, and the domineering spirit of swallowing the world. The things asked were trivial and trivial, and during the conversation, Qin Huang was even interested in how many dogs the other party had at home, and he was usually interested in eating a few bowls of corn rice at a meal.
For a whole afternoon, Emperor Qin passed in such a conversation.
In the end, Emperor Qin focused his gaze on the end of the queue, on Han Xin, the youngest of the group.
"You are Han Xin, who led more than 5,000 troops in Cangshan and attacked 60,000 troops at night?"
"Exactly down there." Han Xin clasped his hands into fists and said.
"Yes!" Emperor Qin nodded and said to Han Xin, "Very good." ”
After Emperor Qin said this, he didn't speak again.
Zhao Tuo stood in the first column, beating a drum in his heart, why did His Majesty the First Emperor reward a lot of goods to the soldiers in the army and even a centurion, but only to Han Xin, this person who has obviously made great contributions has not been rewarded? He didn't even say anything, he just said it lightly.
The middle- and low-level officers were not as bad as the gains and losses in the hearts of the first two generals, they only thought that His Majesty the Emperor had been talking all afternoon, and they were a little tired. Anyway, Great Qin's military merit system has clear rewards, are you still worried that you won't get the rewards you deserve?
"His Royal Highness the Prince, news has come back from the palace. His Majesty the Emperor rewarded all the middle and lower-level officers in the upper hall today, only Han Xin, only two words, very good! ”
In Ying Ziyi's study, Li Zuoche walked in and said with his hands. As soon as he got the news, he immediately came in and replied to Yingziyi.
"It's really a notable situation." Ying Ziyi knew that for people at the level of Emperor Qin, contempt was equivalent to attention. Han Xin, this peerless weapon, let him be exposed prematurely I don't know if it's a good thing.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. How's it going for you to do it? Ying Ziyi asked.
Li Zuoche nodded, walked out of the study, and said to the two attendants standing in the corridor, "You go to Lord Xiao He's library and get me something." What does Lord Xiao He know? You just go and get it. ”
"Yes, sir!" When the two chamberlains heard this, they immediately set off.
When the two years later, they carried a long blanket-like thing in their hands.
Li Zuoche laid the blanket flat on the ground and stretched it out, revealing an extremely accurate map to his eyes. Mountains and rivers, cities and gallops, one by one. The territory depicted on the map includes the six kingdoms of Kwantung, Baiyue, Beihu, and the Western Regions.
"The empire is picturesque, and there are many heroes at one time."
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is the control of our forces."
Li Zuoche held a box of chess pieces and placed them on the map.
"Western Regions, Five Car City, Baiyue." Ying Ziyi smiled, these places are really remote!
The relationship between father and son, the difference between monarchs and ministers, and between Ying Ziyi and Emperor Qin, there is still a blurred boundary after all. This is the tacit understanding between the two, and it is also the untouchable bottom line of Yingziyi.
"In the West, we can mobilize about 80,000 troops, and with the vassal armies of the countries of the Western Regions, the total should be about 120,000. At the same time, there are still 50,000 children in the Xiaoyu camp, and it will take at least ten years or so to come in handy. Li Zuoche counted the troops under Ying Ziyi and said.
Ying Ziyi's family foundation saved over the years seems to be rich, but it is still very weak compared to the monstrous anti-Qin forces in the future.
It is impossible for all of the 80,000 people to twitch, otherwise who will be able to subdue the Western Regions. And not to mention the vassal armies in the Western Regions, if one day the Six Kingdoms rebel and transfer them to Guanzhong, you have to prevent them from rebelling.
In other words, even ten years later, the limit of the troops in Yingziyi's hands is only about 100,000.
"It's still not enough!"
Ying Ziyi muttered.
The Qin State, of course, has a million army, but they are the Qin Emperor's million army. As long as Ying Ziyi does not sit on the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme for a day, then the army of the Qin State will not completely obey his orders. Ying Ziyi's authority comes from Emperor Qin, and life and death are all from the will.
Now Ying Ziyi is in a contradiction, that is, if he waits until the death of Emperor Qin and ascends to the throne, then he will face a monstrous chaos. As long as Emperor Qin continues to do this, then after his death, the history of future generations will inevitably reappear. Even if Ying Ziyi kills Xiang Yu and Liu Ji now, it will be the same. These people live in Qinhuang Town, and he may not be able to win a son.
As for getting rid of Brother Zheng, he will take the position himself. Although it is very in line with the usual style of the villain, Ying Ziyi will never be so stupid. Jokes, don't look at it, whose territory is the huge world east of Guanzhong and west of the East China Sea? The hundreds of princes, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and even the unruly military nobles in the Great Qin Empire, all factions of civil servants were governed by Brother Zheng. By what? Is it benevolence?
In this huge world, the bottomless rivers and lakes, who is the most powerful? It is not the hundred families of the princes, not the remnants of the six countries, nor his sons, but the Qin Emperor.
Iron Eagle Sharps, Shadow Guards, these are just two intelligence agencies on the surface. And in the dark, Ying Ziyi's net slightly touched the forces hidden in the darkness under Emperor Qin. That astonishing power, compared to the current net, is childish like a toy in the hands of a child.
There are millions of troops in his hands, and there are countless masters who obey orders in the open and in the dark, and he has the world's largest intelligence network. Unless Ying Ziyi's brain hits the wall, he will think about killing Brother Zheng and taking the position himself.
Then the question is, if you wait for Brother Zheng's death and ascend to the throne by yourself. The change of the throne will inevitably lead to a power vacuum for a long time, which cannot be avoided. Without the helmsman of Emperor Qin, it is difficult to say how the forces and even individuals who serve this huge empire will choose.
Among these people, they may continue to be loyal to the empire, but they may also betray the empire and serve the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and even the hundreds of families. After all, Ying Ziyi also knew the history of Qin in another world, and knew that after the death of Emperor Qin, the princes of the Six Kingdoms rose up, and many Qin officials also participated.
Ying Ziyi is in such a dilemma, so he has to neutralize it and take a curved path.
By this time, except for Beihu, all the areas of power on the surface had been filled. No matter how hard Yingziyi fights, he can't expand much territory.
And the forces that can be fought for are among the princes of the six countries and the hundreds of schools of thought. As for the forces under Brother Zheng, the biggest piece on the plate, Ying Ziyi can't get much even if he fights for it.
Therefore, Ying Ziyi had to make a plan, a plan that would be long from now to more than ten years after that. In order to cope with the chaos in the future, and also for the dignity of the villain.
Only a few people know about this plan, and Ying Ziyi also has extreme trust in them, and Li Zuoche is one of them.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Emperor has called you over."
Ying Ziyi discussed with Li Zuoche for a long time, and it was getting late, and the servants in the house suddenly came to report.
"Brother Zheng wants to see me?" Ying Ziyi has some drums in her heart, what will it be? (To be continued.) )
