Great Xia named the old land of Zhao as the Fourteen Prefectures of Anxi, and in the same way, in order to better manage the old land of Zhao State, Qin State named it the Sixteen Counties of Dongqi.

Why Dongqi? As the name suggests, it starts from the East. This is the great hegemony of Emperor Qin's fantasy of unifying Shenzhou, but unfortunately after taking these sixteen counties, he was blocked by the Qi River on the way to the east. Although he went north to conquer the steppes and captured the range of one or two counties, this move was difficult to take. Therefore, Emperor Qi made a mistake in opening the road to dominating the world.

At this time, among the sixteen counties of Dongqi, King Qin Zheng was sitting in Zhaodu County, that is, the imperial capital of Zhao State, and he was here to stabilize the situation of the sixteen counties under the order of Emperor Qin.

Don't look at him, he is the youngest of the princes of the Qin State, and he is not as weak as the crown, but his methods are quite sophisticated and cruel.

Among the sixteen counties, he sent people to round up the traitors of the old Zhao on the one hand, and adopted the law of lianza, who dared to protect the five households of lianza, and on the other hand, he moved the Qin people from other parts of the Qin state and came here to intermarry with the Zhao people. At the same time, the Zhao people moved from their hometowns to other counties, and adopted a similar way of reversal, which indeed eased the Zhao people's hatred of the Qin state.

But wanting to solve it in three months is a bit wishful thinking.

So why three months? Naturally, there was a reason for this, and Emperor Qin gave an order to King Win, asking him to completely deal with the situation in the sixteen counties of Dongqi within three months, because three months later, Emperor Qin wanted to send troops to conquer Great Xia in the east!

You can't continue to delay, the more you delay, the stronger Great Xia will be!

For example, now in spring, the cold weather has not completely faded, so that the winter wheat yield is greatly reduced or even no grain harvest, the land is reduced because of the cold, and the newly sown crops will inevitably affect the harvest.

But what about Great Xia?

Multi-structure planting, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, cotton, which is suitable for planting. For example, sweet potatoes should be suitable for the land, they are simply artifacts, and they can be planted in the woods, whether it is barren land or desolate mountains! And the yield is also high. Even if the harvest of other grains decreases, the people still have food to survive.

Moreover, the emergence of new crops has also expanded the amount of cultivated land in Daxia, and many people have opened up wasteland for planting, so the folk customs of Daxia are thriving.

One trade-off, Emperor Qin is naturally unwilling to wait! He's going to send troops, he's going to send troops now!

But the Qin Emperor was also afraid that he would not be able to deal with the sixteen counties of Dongqi, so he rashly sent troops, and when the time came, he was exposed by the anti-thieves of the Zhao people, and then cooperated with Daxia to attack behind the back, which was definitely a blow to the Qin army.

There are more than 40 million Zhao people in the sixteen counties of Dongqi, and once the Zhao State is restored, then the previous efforts of the Qin State will be in vain.

In addition, the other two princes secretly stumbling on the other side.

At this time, in the former palace of Zhao State, in a large hall, Qin Zheng was looking at the secret report from Great Xia.

The secret report detailed the recent situation of Great Xia, especially the Xia Emperor's construction of the Lingyun Pavilion, the release of military power with a glass of wine, and the eleven military marquis calmly handed over the right to lead the troops.

This is the last move before the abdication of Emperor Xia, just waiting for the Wa State to be completed, that is, when the crown prince inherits the unification.

Although it is an enemy relationship, Qin Zheng also has to admire Emperor Xia, as the emperor abdicates to make Xian Ben need great courage, and he also gives the crown prince all the unstable factors to be put right, and then leaves by himself, it will be even more difficult. Looking at the emperors of the ups and downs of the country in the history of the Shenzhou Continent, Emperor Xia should be the first!

Look at his father, who controls the government, distrusts the prince, and supports the prince to suppress the prince, Qin Zheng doesn't want to admit it and has to admit that his father is a little worse than Emperor Xia.

Maybe only when His Majesty is in the sky, can it be their turn to fight the male and female, otherwise they will honestly be the prince and the prince.

While sighing, Qin Zheng also understood His Majesty's eagerness. He is the same, it seems that he has to continue to increase his efforts to rectify the sixteen counties, no matter the cost!

Before, I was afraid that the intensity of rectification was too strong, which would cause a counterattack when it rebounded, but now the time is tight, and the means and pace have to be faster.

What's more, Qin just didn't get the opportunity to govern the sixteen counties of Dongqi, wasn't it just to carry out his plan?

Now that everything is in the plan, how is it going in the Qin capital?

His gaze looked through the main hall and to the west, as if he had seen the Qin capital.

At this time, the people of Qindu were bustling, and there was no difference from the past. Chuan Jianguo is his right attendant, and the spies of the West Factory continue to sneak around, and the person who has changed the most is Chang Yu.

Since following Mrs. Chunhua, Chang Yu has exerted his skills and kept Mrs. Chunhua from wanting to get up, and his status has naturally risen, second only to Mrs. Chunhua in the house, and no one dares to offend him.

And Mrs. Chunhua is the sister of Prime Minister Li Si, although Li Si doesn't like her sister's style, but she cares a lot about this one sister. And for the man who suddenly appeared next to his sister, he naturally wanted to investigate.

Because of the secret help of Xichang, the people sent by Li Xi to investigate did not find out Chang Yu's true identity, and only found out that he was from Zhao, his parents died, and he came to Qin to make a living. Moreover, Chang Yu's skills were also known to Li Si.

This made Li Xi's eyes light up, he was about to find someone with a skill in that area, but he didn't expect to meet one now. So Li Si went to Mrs. Chunhua's mansion and met Chang Yu.

Li Xi was very satisfied when he saw Chang Yu's handsome appearance.

Chang Yu hurriedly met Li Si, "The villain Chang Yu meets Lord Xiangguo!" ”

Li Si stretched out his hand and said, "Excuse me, listen to my sister praise you, do you have any other skills?" ”

Chang Yu knows that now is his chance to get ahead, and following Mrs. Chunhua for the rest of his life is a face, useless, and ridiculed. It's different to follow the prime minister, soar and reach the pinnacle of life.

"The villain doesn't dare to hide the adult, in addition to the kung fu in bed, the villain's biggest advantage is loyalty! Secondly, the villain is proficient in kendo, but he is self-taught and does not dare to boast. Chang Yu said respectfully.

Li Xi smiled and said: "Loyalty is not a skill, but it is the best quality, and the person I admire the most is the person who is loyal." Leaving you here is a bit of a talent, would you like to serve under me? ”

Chang Yu hurriedly thanked him: "The villain is willing, the villain has the grace of knowing the master, he will be loyal and willing to repay him with death!" ”

"I don't need you to die in return! But I have to see if your faithfulness is as you say. So, have you killed a man for me? Li Si asked.

Chang Yu shook his head and said, "Back to Xiangye, the villain has not been killed, but the villain dares to kill, I don't know who the Xiangye wants to kill?" ”

Li Si spat out a name.

Chang Yu has been in the Qin capital for many days, and he also knows the magnates of the Qin capital, and the name that Li Si spit out is not someone else, but the uncle of the current prince.

Chang Yu suddenly cried with a sad face, and asked him to kill the prince's uncle, not to mention whether he could get close, even if he succeeded after getting close, could he still escape?

But in the same way, he understands a truth, this is a big test, if he completes it, he can gain Li Si's trust and even be reused by him. He must have something big to test himself like this, otherwise with his status as a minister, would he say so much to himself?

"Don't worry, even if Chang Yu fights for this life, he will complete this opportunity!" Chang Yu immediately said righteously.

Li Xi nodded with satisfaction, since he wanted to use Chang Yu, he would not be sent to death, so this mission depends on his attitude, and Chang Yu's attitude is very satisfactory to him, he is a good young man who works hard for power.

"Excellent! You can also rest assured, since you are allowed to assassinate, it will naturally be arranged for you, you only need to do it, and you can get out of it after the deed. Li Si said.

Chang Yu was overjoyed, nodded hurriedly, and said, "The villain understands!" ”

In this way, Chang Yu took advantage of Mrs. Chunhua's relationship to get close to Li Si. And Li Si happened to use him, so he took him under his command.

Although Xiao Rui descended on Chang Yu and didn't even see him, his role had already begun to take root in the Qin State. With Chang Yu's means, there will be more exciting events in the future!

As for Li Si's assassination of the prince's own uncle, the door is very deep, the emperor of Qi is old, the prince is gentle, and the other princes are eyeing each other, and they are all eagerly staring at the supreme position.

Emperor Qin knew this very well, but he did not have Emperor Xia's clever means.

Now the new emperor of Great Xia is about to succeed to the throne, and the military spirit and the people's heart will be unprecedentedly cohesive at that time, which is also another reason why Emperor Qin is in a hurry to attack Great Xia.

You have to give Daxia a blow to the head, otherwise you will really fall into the inferior.

At this time, the Qin army water camp on the west bank of the Qi River was calling ships from other places and expanding the size of the water army, which best reflected the Qin state's determination to attack Great Xia, because this was the front line of the war.

If the Qin army wants to fight Great Xia, the first difficulty is that there are so many soldiers and horses, baggage, how to cross the river, not to mention that there are still Great Xia's sailors on the east side of the river!

If the Great Xia Naval Army is not eliminated, the Qin soldiers will definitely not be able to cross the river, and crossing the river is looking for death. This is also the reason for the crazy expansion of the Qin navy, they must destroy the Great Xia navy with the power of destruction, and then escort the Qin soldiers across the river and begin the conquest of Great Xia.

The Qijiang River is the key point, and the control of both sides of the Qijiang River must be controlled!

Qin Guo understands this truth, and Gan Ning understands it even more.

What the Qin State Navy did was already under Gan Ning's control, and he was also increasing his strength.

The last time Xiao Rui came to the improved building ship, he was sent directly here, and Gan Ning personally participated in the transformation of the building ship, making the building ship more ferocious, more aggressive, and more fireproof.

In fact, water combat is very simple, first attack from a distance, then the warship rushes, then get on the boat to fight, and so on.

Now, with the transformation of the building ship, it is more solid, the collision power is stronger, and with the powerful arrows and crossbows and gunpowder, Gan Ning is not afraid of the Qin State.

If the Qin State wants to fight, then come! As long as they dare to cross the river, let them know that it is powerful!

His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have ordered him to fight at any time, and his ships and crossbows are ready for the enemy to come and die.

Gan Ning silently clenched his fists, he would take the defeat of the Qin State Navy as a gift to congratulate the crown prince on his ascension to the throne!
