Chapter Twenty-Five: Those who believe in me will have a good death
"Your Majesty."
Li Si bowed his hand and sighed slightly in his heart.
"If you want the country to be strong, you must first enrich the people."
"Every year, there are many people who are disabled by corporal punishment in Daqin, and corporal punishment is abolished, and hard labor is used instead of punishment."
"In this way, the offender will be able to receive the punishment he deserves."
"With the punishment of criminals as hard labor, the imperial conscription can also be greatly reduced, so that the people can be more busy with agriculture to get rich."
"Li Si, Great Qin's laws need to be improved and changes need to be made in the general direction."
"In addition to the crime of treason and rebellion, and the punishment of innocence, it is time to depose."
"The laws of the empire should be more humane and kinder, not harsh and accountable."
"When the water is clear, there are no fish. If a person is observant, there will be no disciples. ”
Looking at Li Si, who was a little lost, Ying Zheng said meaningfully.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister understands."
"The ministers immediately arranged for the ministries, organized the officials, and re-pushed the laws of the empire from the inside out, and then rectified the improprieties as appropriate."
Li Si was apprehensive in his heart, but his expression was extremely respectful and serious.
Your Majesty, is this doubting your own ability?
This does not bode well!
"Go ahead! I believe in you that you have been able to do a great job and rewrite the law. ”
Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Minister, retire."
Lees arched his hand again, and then left anxiously.
Looking at the back of Li Si leaving, the smile on Ying Zheng's face gradually cooled down.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the top priority is to appease the people first, and twist the inside and outside of the Great Qin Empire into a rope, so that we can be consistent with the outside world.
I never thought of completely eliminating the powerful, because this is always a false proposition.
Moreover, he is also a member of the powerful, and he is also the biggest beneficiary of the powerful in the whole world.
How could he possibly want to overthrow his own authority?
Ying Zheng gradually sorted out the thoughts in his mind, what if the powerful were eliminated?
It won't be long before a new batch of powerful people will be formed.
Faces change, but rights are eternal.
What you have to do is to hold the power tightly in your hands.
And those so-called magnates, whether they are powerful or ministers, are just tools to serve themselves.
Give and take, all in the emperor's heart.
Therefore, what you want to eliminate is not any powerful person, but to eliminate dissent.
No matter who dares to stand in the way, there is only one way to die.
Those who believe in me will have a good death.
The seemingly calm world is actually surging undercurrents, and there are many people with ghosts in their hearts.
Most of them are wall grass, which makes the rudder when they see the wind and move when they hear the wind.
It's time to find an opportunity to lay out, eliminate dissidents, and dig out all the moths in the government and the opposition.
Even if they can't dig it out, it will make them tremble and be frightened, so that they don't dare to have different intentions anymore.
After the beginning of the year, he has been in power for 29 years, and according to his memory, that is, this year, he patrolled the world and was assassinated on the way to Bolangsha.
Not many people know about his own itinerary, Zhang Liang can ambush himself in advance, if it is not crooked, then someone is complicit.
Do you wish you had died sooner?
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a terrifying coldness, and he did not hide the murderous intent in his heart.
Want to die?
Then I will let you die first, and there is no place to bury!
"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian asks to see you."
Just when Yingzheng was full of thoughts, Zhao Zhong walked in again and bowed his hand.
Ying Zheng was pulled back to his thoughts, his eyes were still cold and piercing, which made Zhao Zhong couldn't help but shudder.
"Xuan."
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, Ying Zheng's eyes gradually returned to normal, like an abyss, deep and inscrutable.
It didn't take long for Meng Tian, who was dressed in military uniform, to walk in, bow to Ying Zheng and say, "Meet Your Majesty." ”
"Huh? What kind of wind is blowing today, and it actually blows all my General Mengda? ”
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian with a smile, and his tone was full of ridicule.
"Your Majesty, three years ago, you asked your ministers to draw elite soldiers from the army to form an iron army.
Meng Tian didn't dare to be as casual as Ying Zheng, but said respectfully.
Although he has a very good personal relationship with His Majesty, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty, Meng Tian knows that there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and they cannot be surmounted.
"Oh? So fast? ”
"I'm very relieved to have worked hard."
Ying Zheng was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to normal.
"100,000 iron horsemen proficient in equestrianism, 50,000 chariot riders, and 150,000 infantry elite armor, a total of 300,000."
"There is one song for every 5,000 armor, and one song for every 10,000 armor. One song, one military marquis, one captain and one captain, a total of thirty. ”
"After three years of hard training and reorganization, the morale of the army is like a rainbow, and the officers and men of the three armed forces are all looking forward to it, hoping to make meritorious contributions and solve problems for His Majesty."
"The Iron Army has been completed, but the number has not been decided, this time, I here, I specially ask Your Majesty to give the name."
Meng Tian's tone was full of joy, and he smiled at Ying Zheng's eyebrows.
"The purpose of ordering you to form this army back then was very clear, that is, to go north and expel Hu Di."
"Let's call it the Northern Army!"
Ying Zheng groaned slightly, and then directly set the tone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Meng Tian bowed his hand to thank him, and then continued: "I wonder when Your Majesty is going to use troops against Hu Di in the north?" ”
Seeing Meng Tian's hungry and thirsty face, Ying Zheng couldn't cry or laugh.
Decades have passed, and this Meng Tian has not changed at all.
As long as there is a battle, it is very exciting.
Toto is a war maniac!
"The road to the north has not yet been completed, and according to the progress of the project, it will be almost a few years away."
Why didn't Yingzheng want to bring the Hetao back from the Xiongnu earlier?
It's just that the Chidao has not been completed, and it is not difficult for 300,000 elite armor to go north.
The difficulty lies in the difficulty of supplying astronomical supplies to these hundreds of thousands of people, if there is no galloping road, only relying on today's sheep intestine trail, muddy road, it is undoubtedly more difficult than climbing to the sky.
300,000 troops, if there are no gallops, straights, rails to transport supplies.
If it is transported by manpower alone, at least two or three million people will need to be transported, which is enough to drag down any powerful country.
Daqin is no exception!
Just like the 500,000 divisions of the Southern Expedition, if it were not for the construction of gallop roads, tracks, straight roads and spiritual canals, they could drag the Great Qin Empire to death by manpower alone.
However, it is precisely because of these time-saving and labor-saving projects that only nearly one million conscripts are needed to maintain the front-line 500,000 divisions to fight.
As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.
In order to completely defeat the Xiongnu, it was necessary to have a good road to transport supplies.
Although it had been ordered to stop all the works in various places, all conscripts were sent home.
But this does not include those criminals, who have committed crimes, of course, must be punished, otherwise how can the power of the law of the land exist?
He sent all the 700,000 prisoners who repaired the Emperor's Mausoleum and the Afang Palace to the north to repair the Chi Road, the track, and the straight road.
The day the transportation line was built, it was the time when the Great Qin Empire used troops in the north.
"Your Majesty, the transportation line must be unblocked, otherwise even if you can defeat Hu Di, you will not be able to gain a long-term foothold in the north and deter Hu Di."
Of course, Meng Tian understood the meaning of His Majesty's words, the material supply line was crucial, and even the key to determining the victory of a war.
"In the past, there were only 200,000 or 300,000 conscripts who built the northern section, but now I have sent 700,000 prisoners to build it in shifts day and night."
"The long is one year, the short is half a year, the transportation line in the north will be completely opened, and then it will be the day when Mengqing establishes immortal meritorious deeds."
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and was arrogant.
"Your Majesty...... Something big happened, and the 800-mile border was reported urgently. ”
Suddenly, Zhao Zhong ran in from outside in a panic, shouting as he ran.
