Under Li Yang's guidance, the Education Department was soon on the right track, and the textbooks for the three courses were also being compiled.

Originally, Li Yang wanted to invent simplified Chinese characters and pinyin, but he thought that the time in front of him was too tight, and it was difficult to do it in a short time, so that the teachers in the township pavilions everywhere could master it.

Just imagine, even the teachers who teach students in the township pavilions are not proficient in those newly created simplified characters and pinyin, how can you ask them to teach students with such teaching materials?

Therefore, Li Yang decided to set up a special character reform group in the future, and then let this group master simplified Chinese characters and pinyin by himself, and finally let this character reform group organize public teachers in various counties to study, and then the teachers who have studied in each county will go back to their respective counties to teach other teachers.

In this way, simplified Chinese characters and pinyin can be smoothly promoted.

Under Li Yang's instructions, the content of the first lesson of the Chinese textbook is: I am from Qin, I love my country, we have the same blood, and we are all descendants of China.

The Huaxia people are of the Yanhuang bloodline, and have been unified into the Huaxia tribal alliance since the time of the Yellow Emperor.

The earliest history of Chinese civilization can be traced back to the Dadiwan civilization and Peiligang civilization in the Yellow River Basin 8,000 years ago, and the Chinese ancestors were divided into many tribes, among which the more famous leaders were Taihao, Shaohao, Xuanyuan, Shennong, Diyu, Yao, and Xia Yu.

The descendants of Yan and Huang are very honorable titles in ancient times, and many strong people in the ethnic minorities are scrambling to get involved with the two emperors of Yan and Huang, if anyone goes to the minority and says that they are not the descendants of Yan and Huang, they will definitely copy the guy and beat you so that you don't even know your mother.

In fact, for thousands of years, the concept after Yanhuang has long been a cultural concept that transcends ethnic groups, so there is nothing wrong with saying that everyone is after Yanhuang, which is the result of many ethnic minorities who have struggled for many years.

Therefore, in Li Yang's view, there is no need to subdivide the ethnic groups in Great Qin, as long as Siyi is incorporated into the territory of Great Qin, it is the Yanhuang bloodline, the Huaxia clan. This is also more conducive to cohesion, and it is even more beneficial to future generations. At that time, China was one nation, there was no distinction between the high and the low, there was no preferential welfare policy, and there would be no contradictions between the people because of the nationality, and everyone was treated equally.

Such a politically correct textbook can naturally be highly praised by the emperor.

It can be said that this kind of teaching material is what he dreams of and uses to teach the thoughts of the people of the world.

Not only the territorial countries should be unified, but also the ideology and the hearts of the people should also be unified, and the nation should be unified.

Of course, other ministers naturally dare not oppose such an "excellent" teaching material, and if anyone opposes it, it is estimated that the end will be the same as those ministers who opposed the new law change, and they will be directly pulled out and cut.

And just when the compilation of the textbook was almost finished, at the same time, several major events also occurred in the military and political area of Great Qin.

First, Nei Shi Teng returned to his hometown, Han Xin officially took charge of the post of lieutenant of the Beijing garrison, and Zhou Bo was the deputy general.

Second, the 300,000 troops guarding the border passes of the Great Wall were led by Wang Li and became the general who had a heavy garrison on the frontier.

Third, Meng Tian was transferred back to Xianyang and served as a lieutenant in charge of the Junzheng Temple.

The position of Tai Lieutenant is the highest military commander in the country, and this position has been vacant before, but now Meng Tian has finally sat in this position, which is well deserved.

Kirin Hall.

Today is the first early dynasty for Meng Tian to return to Xianyang and serve as a lieutenant.

"Meng Tian, is the frontier still too peaceful?"

Ying Zheng finished discussing government affairs in the early court, and turned to Meng Tian to learn about the situation in the frontier.

Meng Tian said: "Back to Your Majesty, there are 300,000 soldiers of my Qin army guarding the frontier, and no one dares to offend!" What's more, now the Xiongnu killed their father and became self-reliant, and their internal regime is unstable, so there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

"Well, it's good to have no worries." Ying Zheng nodded, in a very good mood.

At this time, Li Yang's brows furrowed slightly.

Because he heard a very familiar name, Maudun.

Mao Dunshan Yu, he was the first time in history to unify the northern grasslands, the establishment of a huge and powerful Xiongnu Empire, is the Xiongnu people's eloquent military strategist, military commander.

In history, not long after he killed his father and became independent, King Donghu took advantage of his unstable foothold and sent an envoy to ask for Shan Yuqianma.

In order to paralyze Donghu, Mao Dun gave Maxima to the king of Donghu despite the opposition of his ministers. The king of Donghu got an inch, and asked for Maodun's favorite clan, and the ministers of Maodun were very angry and asked for troops to attack Donghu, but Maodun still met the requirements of the king of Donghu. At this point, King Donghu thought that Mao Dun was weak and could be bullied, and no longer took it seriously.

Maodun took the opportunity to stabilize his rule, expand his armaments, and sent troops to raid Donghu, Donghu was caught off guard, the king of Donghu was killed, and his people and livestock were all obtained by the Xiongnu, and Donghu was destroyed. Mao Dun took advantage of the victory to attack the Yueshi in Yongzhou in the Hexi Corridor and forced it to migrate westward. Thus the two-sided threat is lifted.

Subsequently, he led the Xiongnu to conquer more than 20 countries such as Loulan, Wusun, and Hujie, and controlled most of the Western Regions. To the north, it conquered the countries of Hunyao, Qu She, Ding Ling, Qi Kun, and Xinli, and to the south, annexed the territories of the south kings of Loufu and Baiyang Henan, and reoccupied the land south of the Hetao. The Xiongnu have a vast area from Yinshan in the south, Baikal Lake in the north, Liao River in the east, and green mountains in the west.

It has even become a major disaster in the Central Plains.

Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought the Han Dynasty and did not destroy it, so that for hundreds of years, the war between the Xiongnu and the Central Plains never stopped.

It was not until the Sui Dynasty that the Xiongnu were integrated into the various ethnic groups during this period. The Wuhu Rebellion and the Northern and Southern Dynasties became the last performances of the Xiongnu on the stage of Chinese history.

As a traverser, the Huns are a disaster in the Central Plains, and their evil is not small.

In particular, Wuhu Chaohua is a very important tragic history in Chinese history, and the Han people were almost wiped out.

Although the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Di, and Qiang were either exterminated or integrated into the Han nationality in the end, but now that Li Yang has come to the Qin Dynasty, he naturally does not want to see the Xiongnu, Donghu and other ethnic groups become bigger, and it will be a disaster for China in the future?

So when he heard the name Shan Yu and Mao Dun, who was the first to establish a huge and powerful Xiongnu Empire in history, Li Yang's sensitive nerves tingled.

In particular, hearing Meng Tian's words of contempt for the Xiongnu and Mao Dun, Li Yang immediately realized that if Great Qin allowed such a talented commander as Mao Dun to rule steadily, it would be a problem to raise tigers in the future.

His heart tightened, so he immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, this person should not be underestimated, if he is allowed to stabilize his rule and develop, the Huns will become a big disaster!" The minister believed that it was better to take advantage of the unstable foothold at the moment, the internal injustice of the Xiongnu, and destroy the Xiongnu in one fell swoop. ”

As soon as these words fell, Ying Zheng and Meng Tian looked at Li Yang in surprise.

Meng Tian smiled and said, "Prime Minister, what are you...... Think too highly of him Huns, right?

In fact, it is no wonder that Meng Tian and Ying Zheng will be so surprised.

Because since the Warring States Period, when the Xiongnu attacked the Central Plains, there was a general Li Mu in the Central Plains, who directly killed the Xiongnu many times and killed more than 100,000 of them, making the Xiongnu dare not approach Zhao.

Since then, the Xiongnu have always been the target of bullying, and they were first educated by Qin, Zhao, and Yan in turn. In particular, after Yingzheng unified the six countries, Meng Tian directly forced the Xiongnu out of the Hexi Corridor area.

It is precisely because of this that Meng Tian will feel that Li Yang's words are inevitably a little alarmist.

However, Li Yang knew in his heart why Qin could beat the Huns, while the Western Han Dynasty was repeatedly defeated?

Actually, the reason is this Maoton.

Before Maodun, the development of the Xiongnu was very weak, and the grassland at that time was not dominated by them, and there were many ethnic minorities on the grassland, such as Donghu, Dayue and other strong opponents.

However, it was Mao Dun who changed the situation, he directly unified Donghu, drove away the Dayue clan, and established a powerful Xiongnu Empire, with more than 300,000 people in control, becoming the most powerful nation in the north.

In addition, they were cavalry, in the words of later generations, mobile troops, so it would be difficult for the Central Plains to defeat them at that time.

In other words, if you want not to raise tigers, you can't give Maotun a chance to stabilize the regime and develop the Xiongnu now. Only in this way is it the safest.

Li Yang Zhengse said: "Taiwei doesn't know, Mao Dun is a person with great talents, if he underestimates him, he will definitely become the overlord of the north in the future, and it will not be so easy to deal with." ”

"Hahaha!"

Who knows, Meng Tian laughed out loud, shook his head and said: "Prime Minister Zhong's words are very absurd!" ”

Li Yang frowned and said, "How can the captain say this?" ”

Meng Tian said: "According to what I said, Mao Dun is extremely timid and afraid, and he also killed his father to stand on his own, let alone the hearts of the insiders, whether he can sit firmly in the position of Shan Yu is still unknown, the overlord of the north, hehe, isn't it ridiculous!" ”

Ying Zheng also said: "Li Yang, my Great Qin has an army of 300,000 to guard the north, are you too worried?" ”

Li Yang shook his head, and he didn't know how to persuade for a while.

Seeing that Li Yang didn't speak, at this time, Feng Quji came out and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zhong, the prime minister is very curious, you are in the middle of the court, you have never seen this person, how can you say that he has great talent and strategy, and will definitely become the overlord of the north?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Yang curiously, and even Ying Zheng was very curious.

Because what Feng Quji said is indeed very reasonable, you have always been in Xianyang, and you have never been to the Xiongnu, how do you know that people are eloquent?

Is it calculated?

Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Li Yang also knew that he had fallen into the grip, so he had no choice but to simply play tricks and said: "I can't hide it, this is all a premonition of the true appearance." ”

"Premonition?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

Obviously, I think Li Yang is really too ridiculous and outrageous today.

At that moment, Feng Quji seized this opportunity and said: "How can the premonition be taken seriously, the prime minister of China is talking about military affairs with this, but it is a bit outrageous!" ”

Sure enough, the emperor was not very happy, and nodded with displeasure, agreeing very much with Feng Quji's words.

Meng Tian smiled and comforted: "Prime Minister Zhong, I have been guarding the north for many years, and I know more about the Xiongnu than you, with my border of 300,000 troops, although the prime minister of the middle is relieved, even if he is given ten years, they will not dare to offend my border pass." ”

Li Yang shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

However, Yingzheng is indeed a relatively superstitious person.

Seeing that Li Yang looked worried when he heard the name Mao Dun, and talked about his premonition, he inevitably muttered a little in his heart, so he asked, "Li Yang, do you believe in your hunch so much?" ”

Li Yang shook his head, he didn't dare to say too much, because the previous history was not quite the same as the current history, Qin was not extinguished, Xiang Yu died, and the three prime ministers in Liu Bangxi's Han calendar were now under his own, and even Han Xin followed him, so ...... Whether the Xiongnu in history will really become an empire on the grassland as in the original history, no one knows.

The only thing Li Yang believes is that Mao Dun is definitely a generation of heroes, and the other party's character and resourcefulness cannot be changed because of himself, a traverser.

Thinking of this, Li Yang said: "I don't know why, when I heard the Taiwei say that the Huns were not to be feared, the minister had a premonition. If the minister guessed correctly, the king of Donghu also thought that the Xiongnu were not to be feared. Both Daqin and Donghu despised the Xiongnu, which would give the Xiongnu a chance to breathe and develop, and they would raise tigers for trouble. ”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng felt that what Li Yang said made a lot of sense.

If everyone despises the Xiongnu and allows it to develop, it will inevitably give the Xiongnu a chance to grow.

Ying Zheng turned his head: "Meng Tian, what do you think?" ”

Meng Tian said with a smile: "The minister is still the same sentence, with my Great Qin's 300,000 troops guarding the border passes, the Huns will not dare to offend my Great Qin even if he gives him time to grow." Moreover, what the prime minister said was just his premonition after all. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Tian chuckled lightly and asked Li Yang: "Prime Minister Zhong, I dare to assert that if the Xiongnu want to develop and grow, Donghu will be the first to refuse, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Li Yang smiled: "Perhaps, the king of Donghu thinks that Mao Dun's foothold is unstable, and he also thinks that the Huns are not enough to fear." Maybe he'll send an envoy to Maudun to ask for money. For example, if King Donghu sees the beauty of Maodun's Yan, it is estimated that even the woman of Maodun will have to force him to pass. ”

"King Donghu asked Mao Dunshan Yu for the Yan clan?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Tian was speechless.

And the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also completely felt that Li Yang was talking nonsense at this time.

Even if the king of Donghu bullied Mao Dun for his unstable foothold and despised the Huns, it would be impossible for him to be so bad as to ask for Mao Dun's Yan clan, right? What is the status of the Yan family, that is, the queen of the Huns!

Unless the king of Donghu really wants to start a war with the Xiongnu.

At this time, even Ying Zheng felt that Li Yang's words were not credible, so he immediately regarded his words as a fart.

Of course, if other courtiers dared to talk such nonsense, according to Yingzheng's temper, it is estimated that he would be beheaded directly.

At that moment, Yingzheng had no intention of discussing it again, and directly dispersed the court......
