At this moment, Daqin is worthy of pride and praise.

In just over a month, the Xiongnu and Donghu were unified, and the northern grasslands were all included in the territory of the Great Qin.

Since the unification of the Six Kingdoms, Great Qin has never achieved such a huge victory.

Even, the battle of the southern expedition to Baiyue, in front of the northern expedition to the Xiongnu, immediately lost its color.

The southern expedition to Baiyue, from 219 BC to 214 BC, gathered 500,000 troops, lasted a total of five years, and only then did it achieve victory. And this time in the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu War, there were only 300,000 soldiers, and it took less than a month to bring the northern grasslands, including Donghu, into the territory of our Great Qin.

In fact, in terms of troops, time and combat achievements, Mo said that the Battle of Baiyue was the war that unified the six countries at the beginning, and it cannot be compared with the battle of the Northern Expedition.

It can be said that the battle of the Northern Expedition is a miracle in the history of war!

Even everyone has an illusion, if Li Yang was born two or three hundred years earlier, would the Warring States of the Seven Kingdoms be over two or three hundred years earlier?

Of course, this almost absurd idea, if placed on someone else's body, can be said to be outrageous and nonsense. But for Li Yang, everyone didn't think there was anything abnormal, and even felt that it was extremely reasonable.

There is no way, Li Yang's two expeditions have subverted everyone's perception of war.

Ying Zheng was very happy, his face turned crimson, and he sighed: "Yang Jun, it is really my auspicious star!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was slightly surprised!

Yangjun?

Emperor this is ...... Are you going to crown Li Yang as the king?

Thinking of this, everyone in the hall looked at each other in astonishment.

There are those who envy, those who are jealous, and those who secretly hate them.

Although when Li Yang set out on the expedition, everyone listened to the emperor's promise that as long as Li Yang could unify the Xiongnu, he would be crowned king when he triumphed. However, now when they really heard the emperor call Li Yang the title of king, everyone couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

You must know that since the abolition of the feudal monarchy and the change of the county system in Great Qin, there has been no feudal monarch in the Qin State. And now, Li Yang has set a precedent, he will become the first and only monarch of the Qin Dynasty! (PS: Before the unification of Great Qin, it was only a vassal state, not the Qin Dynasty.) ）

Sure enough, Ying Zheng then issued an edict: "Li Yang, President of the National Political Yuan, can be a man of letters, a martial artist who can open up the territory, has a unique knowledge and outstanding wisdom, and has the immortal merit of opening up the territory and the state of Daqin. The name of the prime minister is not enough to show his virtue, the position of the dean is not enough to show his talent, and the name of the marquis is not enough to show his merits. ”

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng glanced at everyone and said in a loud voice: "I am known to the world, and I officially crowned Li Yang as the monarch of the town, and the fief will be discussed later." From today onwards, the king of the town does not tend to enter the court, praises and worships the nameless, and goes to the palace with his sword to show that he is extraordinary! ”

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the temple.

Zhen Guojun?

As the name suggests, isn't it the meaning of protecting the country?

What kind of person can be called a town?

Obviously, the emperor compared Li Yang to an existence like Mu Gongzhen Qin Jian, and regarded him as a minister of the Great Qin Empire. It is conceivable that after the edict of the feudal monarch is issued to the world, Li Yang's status above the people and the court in the world will become very high.

And, more importantly, it is already difficult to become a marquis in the Qin State!

At the beginning, Wang Jian complained to King Yingzheng of Qin before he went to conquer Chu: "As a king's general, he can't be a marquis if he has merit, so he and the king's countrymen, and the ministers also timely invite Yuanchi as their descendants." Although Wang Qian's words dispelled the suspicion of the Jiashi in the Yingzheng Empty Kingdom, it also reflected that it was not easy to be a marquis in the Qin State. After all, Wang Jian had already made great achievements and had the great merit of destroying Zhao before destroying Chu, but he had not been made a marquis until he destroyed Chu and completed the great cause of unification.

It's still so difficult to seal the marquis, so what about the king?

Because of the Qin State, the feudal marquis and the feudal monarch are not the same system. For example, Yan Jun's illness and An Guojun's Yingzhu ...... The so-called kings like this are all members of the royal family, and the reason why they are crowned kings is just to divide the fiefdoms, which belongs to the Shiqing Shilu system.

In addition, the title of Qin State is linked to military merit, and the highest title of the military merit system is the liehou. Therefore, the only feudal monarchs who are not members of the clan are Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, Bai Qi, Cai Ze, etc., which can be said to be a handful.

What's more, even if he is a marquis and a feudal monarch, there is only Shang Ying. Because of the feudal monarch, it can be said that it is an exceptional gift from the monarch of the Qin State, but the marquis is really based on military achievements.

For example, Bai Qi did not have a marquis, because he was a pure soldier, unfamiliar with politics, only military thinking, even if he had great military achievements and reached the apex of military merit, it was a pity that King Qin was irritable and Bai Qi was difficult to seal. Therefore, he only got the title of a prince of the Shilu system, and he was not a marquis. In fact, those who are not members of the clan are crowned monarchs, such as Zhang Yi and Cai Ze, and they only got the title of the monarch of the Shilu system to show their favor.

And Li Yang can be said to be the second person in the Qin State for hundreds of years, in addition to Shang Ying, who is both a feudal marquis and a feudal monarch.

Because the emperor's edict made it very clear that Li Yang was crowned the king of the town, what is the title of seal, that is, to retain the throne and add a monarch title.

Moreover, in addition to being a great honor, the feudal monarch is not just a false feud, but also has real benefits, that is, the feudal monarch will definitely obtain land, and with land there will be corresponding taxes and benefits.

The emperor's edict said that the "fief will be discussed later" also proves that the fief will be determined to Li Yang afterwards.

At the moment when the military merit field is canceled and the annual salary system is implemented, the fief is even more honorable.

It's just that no one can guess where the emperor will seal the land as Li Yang's fief.

In short, this incident represents Li Yang's status in the emperor's heart, which is incomparable. It even seems that Li Yang is really regarded as an auspicious star given to Great Qin by God.

While everyone was envious and jealous in their hearts, they immediately lined up together, and Qi He said: "God bless Great Qin, Great Qin for ten thousand years!" ”

And at this moment, Feng Quji, Bai Zheng and others were congested.

One by one, they look like eating flies, they are dumb and eat coptis in their hearts, they can't say what they are suffering, and what they hate in their hearts is a faint pain.

They never dreamed that their deliberate joint proposal to send Li Yang from the court to the northern Xiongnu as an envoy would end up like this.

Not only did he destroy Donghu and the Xiongnu in an instant, but Li Yang relied on this battle to become the king of Zhenguo, and he was really under one person and above ten thousand people.

If it is said that before this, Li Yang, the president of the National Political Yuan, was also in charge of the government in terms of authority. However, the status is actually at the same level as Feng Quji, Li Si, Meng Tian and others, all of whom are Hou.

However, now it is different, and now he has become the king of the town. What does it mean to enter the court, to praise and worship, and to go to the temple with a sword?

Entering the court does not tend, that is, when you see the emperor, you don't need to walk quickly, in other words, Li Yang can walk with a big waist in front of the emperor.

And if you don't have a name, you can't call his name anymore, just like others can't call Yingzheng's name. Even if he Feng Quji, when he sees Li Yang in the future, he has to pay homage to "Zhen Anjun" or "Yang Jun", otherwise it will be disrespectful.

If you go to the temple with a sword, you can go to court with a sword.

All in all, from today onwards, in terms of status, Li Yang has already suppressed Feng Quji.

To tell the truth, Feng Quji really wanted to cry without tears, and almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurting out.

Is this really stealing chickens and rice?

Not only did Li Yang have the opportunity to become the king of Zhenguo, but more importantly, now that the Xiongnu were unified, he could return to the dynasty, and the success or failure of the new policy would become unknown.

After all, there are still three months to go before the spring, and if Li Yang returns to the dynasty at this time and uses iron-fisted means to implement the new policy land reform, there is still enough time to complete the land reform across the country.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji's heart was so worried that it made him panic.

He thought about it, so he came up with another plan, and immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, now that the Xiongnu and Donghu are unified, the top priority is to implement the county system and stabilize the rule of the two places. There is Xiao Shangshu in Donghu, but there is no one to send the Xiongnu at the moment, and the minister proposes that it is better to let the Zhenguo monarch start the construction of the Xiongnu counties! ”

When Bai Zheng heard this, his brows jumped slightly, and he immediately followed: "Minister, second." ”

A group of old clans also joined the list and agreed with Feng Quji's proposal.

How could Li Si not know their thoughts, this is obviously deliberately not letting Li Yang come back.

So he also immediately came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, now that the north is in Dading, the Xiongnu and Donghu are no longer worry-free. However, the implementation of the new policy in the DPRK and China is a matter of great importance, and the king of the town sits in the court, and the first priority is to lead the new policy. ”

Cao Shen, Zhang Cang, He Zhang and others also came out one after another: "Li Xiang's words are reasonable, and the ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Suddenly, two factions were formed in the court.

At this time, Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Well, the placement of Xiongnu counties is really important, but ...... If you are willing to go, it seems to be possible. ”

When Feng Qujian heard this, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Xiang is not suitable. ”

"Oh? Feng Xiang, please speak. Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and said with a smile.

Feng Qu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Li Xiang is in charge of the Development and Reform Agency, and the new policy is implemented, and the DPRK and China cannot live without Li Xiang for a day." Moreover, although the Xiongnu and Donghu have been unified, Donghu has always been allied with Fuyu and Sushen. For Fuyu and Su Shen, the demise of Donghu is undoubtedly a cold lip and a tooth. Therefore, it is very likely that these two countries will take advantage of the unstable foothold of our Great Qin in Donghu to cooperate with the old forces of Donghu and send troops to resist. And Zhen Guojun is the commander of the Northern Expedition, and with him, he can threaten Zhenfu Yu and Su Shen. ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and naturally knew in his heart that Feng Qujian was calculating.

He groaned slightly, and then said: "If the strength of the Great Wall battalion is not much damaged, Feng Xiang, you are worried, and it doesn't hurt if the king is away." ”

Feng Qujian was speechless for a while.

Yes, if the Great Wall battalion has sufficient troops and the king is there, even if Li Yang leaves the Northland, then there is no need to be afraid of Fu Yu and be cautious.

At that moment, Ying Zheng turned his head to Liu Xi and said, "Liu Xi, let's see if the good news shows the casualties of our army." ”

Liu Xi nodded, and immediately flipped through the second page of the good news.

Because of the good news, generally on the second page, the meritorious service and casualties of the battle will be reported together, to put it bluntly, it is a detailed list of meritorious service for the soldiers.

However, when Liu Xiding looked at the second page of the good news, his pupils contracted, as if he had seen a ghost, he was dumbfounded, and the whole person was stunned!
