Chapter 128: Iron Cavalry and Tianwu
Ying Zheng on the main throne smiled and said: "Lonely desire to build two more titled legions, named: Iron Cavalry Legion, Tianwu Legion." ”
The ministers in the palace were taken aback, the commander of the legion is an official position of the second grade, which means that there will be two more powerful people in Daqin, and the second rank is already the highest official position today.
The ministers all looked at Huo Quai, Wang Jian and the two, since Yingzheng ascended the throne, starting from the quelling of the Yingxi rebellion, the two initially emerged, and then the Western Expedition, the Six Nations War, the destruction of Han, the destruction of Zhao, and the promotion of many people, their promotion speed made many people unreachable.
The two of them have long been representatives of the Young Costume School, and now they will also become one of the most powerful people in the Qin State.
Huo Quzhi and the two of them were excited in their hearts, and their faces did not show it, and the ministers saw the two holding the wine glasses and trembling slightly, and said in their hearts: This is normal. Although Ying Zheng hasn't said that it is those two people, but with merit, the two of them are the most likely, if there is really no waves, then his qi cultivation kung fu is inevitably too terrifying.
However, then the eyes of the generals were full of envy, the real lord of the army, what is the purpose of fighting all his life, for the Qin State, part of the reason is in it, more people are still for power, in order to be able to have the status of a supreme minister.
Ying Zheng saw that all the ministers looked at Huo Quzhi and Wang Qian, and he didn't say much, and said directly in a loud voice: "Huo Quai, Wang Qian?"
Huo Quzhi and Wang Jian were shocked, and hurriedly got up from behind the case, walked to the hall, and said, "The minister is here." ”
"Order Feng Huo to be the general of the Iron Cavalry Legion, command the 100,000 cavalry of the Iron Cavalry Legion, protect my Great Qin, and expand the territory. Ying Zheng didn't know when he had gotten up.
"What the king refers to, where the iron horse goes, and where he passes, it is all Qin soil. Huo Quai's fist holding.
"Wherever a good iron horse passes, it is all Qin soil. Daqin has you Huo Quai, Daqin's luck, and loneliness. Ying Zheng smiled.
"Tiger charm. ”
There was a unique wooden box on the Wang case in front of Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng took out the tiger talisman, the tiger talisman automatically split into two, and the other half floated towards Huo Quai.
Huo Quzhi bent down and took it respectfully.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and said, "The Tianwu Legion, which is also an army of 100,000, will be a mixed army of cavalry, infantry armor, siege soldiers, and crossbow soldiers. Lone believes that Wang Qing has the ability to command, and Lone waits for the day when the general will create another glory and conquer the city for my Great Qin and destroy the kingdoms. ”
Wang Jian was frightened in his heart, he didn't expect Ying Zheng to value him so much, the mixed army is the most test of a person's ability to command the army, he had commanded three types of troops at the same time before, and now it is a large army that is organized together, which is a great test for him, but he is not afraid but very excited in his heart.
Said: "It is the responsibility of the ministers to open up the territory and expand the territory, and the world will stop the martial arts, only I will be martial." ”
When Bai Qi and the other generals heard this, they looked at him very unexpectedly, and Huo Quzhi also turned his head and gave a look of praise.
Ying Zheng didn't expect Wang Jian to have such great ambitions, but the boy was born in the world, so he should be like this, and recognized: "Okay, only when the world stops martial arts, can there be peace, Wangqing will not forget today's words, Tianwu goes, harmony is the first, and killing is the last." ”
"Remember the king's words. Stopping the fight with force, only for peace. Wang Jian bowed.
Yingzheng also gave another half-tiger talisman, Wang Jian respectfully accepted it, and the two returned to their positions.
Ying Zheng said: "Zhao merged with Qin, and Gu decided that Li Ze would lead an army of 50,000 to garrison Zhaodi, and three days later, the 280,000 army would withdraw to the Shangdang camp and the Hanoi camp. ”
"No. "Li Ze, Bai Qi, Sima Cuo, Huo Quai, Wang Jian and the others all got up and saluted.
Great Qin now has four legions, namely the God Killing Legion, the Xuanwu Legion, the Iron Cavalry Legion, and the Tianwu Legion. It will take about half a year for the Iron Cavalry and Tianwu to be formed, and although the Qin State destroyed Zhao this time, although the losses were small, 40,000 were still killed in the battle, and 30,000 were seriously injured. This is still a soldier who took advantage of the famine of Zhao State the year before last, otherwise I don't know how many people died in battle.
As soon as Ying Zheng returned to the Heavenly and Earthly Inn, Zhao Gao came in and said, "Your Majesty, everything is as expected by the king, Yan Dan really escaped." ”
Ying Zheng sat down, picked up the bamboo slip, didn't raise his head, and said, "From which direction did you escape, and who are there to help?"
Zhao Gao replied: "The news from Genluowang that he fled from the Wuguan of Qin State to Chu State, it seems that he wants to go north from Chu State, pass through Qi State, and then return to Yan State. It was with the help of Changping Jun and Yin Yang Dongjun that he left Xianyang like a caravan from the Chu State. ”
Ying Zheng said leisurely: "Changping Jun, he still embarked on this road. That caravan also belongs to the Xiong family, right?"
Zhao Guo bowed and said, "Exactly." ”
Ying Zheng said again: "Dongjun, send her to spy on Yan Dan secretly, I don't know if she is really moved by Yan Dan, or some people in the Yin and Yang family feel that there are not enough people who died that night." What do you say, little Gaozi?"
Zhao Gao was so shocked that he knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must have been done by Dongjun alone, and it has nothing to do with the Yin and Yang family, so my subordinates will send someone to arrest her back." ”
Ying Zheng glanced up at Zhao Gao and said, "No need, it's not time yet, besides, it's still useful to keep her alone, she has a very important chess piece." ”
Pregnant, Zhao Gao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, Dongjun was pregnant with Yan Dan's child? He didn't know, Ying Zheng actually knew, and thought that Ying Zheng told Yan Dan to escape only need to be monitored, not to be disturbed, is it also for the unborn child. Thinking of this, I felt even more chills in my heart, and hurriedly replied: "No." ”
Ying Zheng glanced at him and said, "Get up, pass the order, and set off tomorrow to return to Xianyang." ”
"No. Zhao Gao got up, saluted respectfully, slowly retreated, and turned to leave.
Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips, walked to the window, looked to the east, and muttered: "Yan Dan, Yan Dan, don't let Gu down." ”
............
In half a month, Yingzheng returned to Xianyang City.
On the second day, Ying Zheng, who was in the study, received news that Fan Li and Shang Ying asked to see.
Said: "Xuan." ”
After a while, Shang Ying and Fan Li entered the hall together, and after a salute, the two sat down.
Ying Zheng said to Zheng He behind him: "Sanbao makes tea for the two Qing families. ”
"Thank you. The two saluted.
Ying Zheng smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Shang Jun and Zhu Gong came together, it seems that it is not a trivial matter." ”
Fan Li looked at Shang Ying, Shang Ying gave him an expression that you put forward by yourself and said it yourself, Fan Li arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since the Ministry of Household Affairs has registered the merchants of the Qin State and required the management system of court documents for business, the court tax has been overcharged by thirty percent, and the things that the people buy are more affordable, and the merchants who are willing to do business are also less than half. ”。
Ying Zheng was very surprised when he heard it, there are fewer people registered for tax evasion, more taxes, fewer profiteers, and the things that the people buy are more affordable, he can think about it, but how can it hurt people suddenly less than half, this is strange?
The imperial court did not issue a ban on commerce, and Yingzheng was really puzzled, and asked: "There are fewer merchants, why is this?"
