Chapter 4 Your Majesty, Aren't You Going to Conquer the South?

"Your Majesty, General Meng asks to see you."

An attendant walked over and whispered to Ying Zheng.

"Xuan."

Ying Zheng put down the pen, and blew on the new ink on the bamboo tube.

Soon, a tall and burly man wearing armor walked in, and when he saw Ying Zheng, he immediately looked happy, and knelt down on one knee and said, "Minister, Meng Tian greets Your Majesty." ”

Ying Zheng stood up, greeted him, stretched out his hands to help Meng Tian, and said with a smile on his face: "Meng Qing, please get up quickly, hard work, sit." ”

Meng Tian saw His Majesty's extremely enthusiastic appearance, a little at a loss, and seeing that His Majesty was about to walk towards the couch with him, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to mess with his dignity." ”

"I haven't seen you for years, and I miss it very much."

Ying Zheng showed a hint of remembrance on his face, sat down, and then waved his hand and motioned for Meng Tian to sit down.

Meng Tian saw that His Majesty had repeatedly invited him to sit, and he couldn't excuse himself anymore, so he could only sit down.

It's just that he was a little nervous, and said like a needle: "Back to Your Majesty, it's been six years." ”

"After guarding the northern frontier for many years, the Hu people have not dared to violate the border, and they have worked hard."

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian and said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, this is by no means the work of Meng Tian, it all depends on Your Majesty's eloquence and strategy, and 300,000 soldiers can share the same hatred. If there is no strong support from His Majesty, the rear is worry-free, and Meng Tian is only famous, how can Hu Di be discouraged. ”

Meng Tian hurriedly bowed his head and bowed, saying from the bottom of his heart.

As His Majesty's confidant general, he naturally did not dare to be arrogant.

Seeing His Majesty reaching out to take the jade pot on the table, Meng Tian hurriedly took the jade pot first, put the two jade cups away, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's come here!" ”

Ying Zheng smiled and did not object.

After Meng Tian poured the wine, Ying Zheng picked up the jade cup and did not speak.

"Your Majesty, Minister."

Meng Tian took the lead in holding the jade cup and said respectfully to Ying Zheng.

The two of them drank it all, and after putting down the wine glass, Ying Zheng said with a look of remembrance: "I still remember the scene when I met Meng Qing for the first time before inheriting the unification, the years are unforgiving, and now that I am old, Meng Qing has passed the age of not being confused!" ”

"Your Majesty's achievements will be able to live forever."

When Meng Tian heard this, his heart was also a little heavy, and he immediately said solemnly.

"How can there be a long life in this world, a thousand years old, there are very few people who can live more than 100 years."

Ying Zheng smiled, obviously not believing it.

"How can an ordinary man compare with His Majesty."

Meng Tian looked at Ying Zheng with a look of adoration and said seriously.

"Okay, I'm not looking for you to parting with life and death, Mengxun is about to hold a crown ceremony, right?"

Ying Zheng changed his words and asked abruptly.

"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao'er will be twenty next year."

Meng Tian was stunned, how could His Majesty suddenly care about his family affairs?

"Yueman will also hold a ceremony next year, and I will be the master to marry Yueman to Mengxun and get married on a certain day."

Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the child has no size skills, and he is only shallow in learning, how can he be worthy of the princess."

Meng Tian immediately stood up, knelt in front of Ying Zheng, and politely refused.

"I have issued an edict to make Mengxun the head of the left house, and lead the staff to serve as the servant."

Ying Zheng stood up and helped Meng Tiandao, who was kneeling.

"Your Majesty......"

Meng Tian's heart was shocked, and he was extremely moved.

"Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter, Yueman is the pearl of my palm, and you can't bully Yueman when you come to your Meng family in the future."

After Ying Zheng helped Meng Tian up, he sat down again, and said in a rather ridiculous tone.

"The princess's daughter, it's too late to be respected by the family, how dare you slack off."

After Meng Tian sat down, he smiled bitterly.

"This is not good, I am giving you a daughter-in-law of the Meng family, not an ancestor for you. If Yueman is at fault, you tell me and see how I fix her. ”

Ying Zheng laughed, obviously in a very happy mood.

"The minister has written it down, His Majesty is grateful, and the minister is grateful."

Meng Tian saluted again.

"Does Meng Qing think that Yue Yue can be destroyed?"

Ying Zheng asked abruptly.

Meng Tian's heart sank, knowing that His Majesty was about to reveal his true intentions.

Everything before was just for the present, although it was clear, but he still respected and admired His Majesty.

In the future, there are not a few kings who can be courteous and virtuous, but only His Majesty can not change his original intention and stick to his lifelong beliefs.

It is not terrible for a person not to make mistakes for a while, but if he can not make mistakes for a lifetime, then it is really respectable.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, can you first solve the doubts in the minister's heart?"

Meng Tian pondered for a while before he said solemnly.

"Say."

Ying Zheng looked calm and said softly.

"When the minister came on the way, I heard that His Majesty had requisitioned 700,000 Lishan prisoners to go south, I wonder if Your Majesty can give the minister a secret?"

Meng Tian glanced at Ying Zheng and said meaningfully.

"Shipbuilding."

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian, but he didn't hide it.

"Shipbuilding?"

Meng Tian Leng, 700,000 people build ships?

"What ship?"

Meng Tian asked almost subconsciously.

"A big ship, a big ship that can ride the wind and waves and cross the ocean!"

Ying Zheng glanced at the map of the Great Qin Empire hanging on the wall, and said in a loud voice.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to go south?"

Meng Tian was shocked by His Majesty's domineering spirit and muttered.

He always thought that His Majesty had requisitioned 700,000 prisoners to the south to prepare for Pingnan, but shipbuilding?

This was completely unexpected......

"It's not on my heart yet, Meng Qing has to look farther."

Ying Zheng drank the wine in the cup again and said domineeringly.

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Meng Tian felt that this life was not as shocking as it was today, and he was shocked.

"In the future, you will know that the top priority is to first subdue the Yue Yue, the Dian Kingdom, Yelang and the southern natives."

Ying Zheng is unfathomable.

"The minister is stupid, please make it clear to your majesty."

Meng Tian piously sought teaching.

"The Southern Army is 500,000, 100,000 are guarding Fujian, and 100,000 are guarding Ouyue. I have given you an army of 300,000 with only one request, to destroy Yuyue and let the Indochina Peninsula fall into the hands of Great Qin. ”

"I have prepared enough herbs for you, and there are thousands of healers, and these two volumes of medical skills will be passed on, whether it is miasma, poisonous insects, or diseases and plagues, there is no need to worry."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and the four attendants held four jade plates, which were full of bamboo slips.

Meng Tian stepped forward and flipped through it casually.

Compendium of Materia Medica

General Outline of Plague Prevention and Treatment

After a few casual glances, although Meng Tian was not a healer, he had experienced hundreds of battles and countless expeditions in his life, and the injuries and illnesses he encountered were unknown.

After just a few glances, his gaze could no longer take his eyes off the bamboo slips.

The contents of these bamboo slips are all-encompassing and extremely detailed, which is an eye-opener for Meng Tian.

"Your Majesty, where did you get these two books of Wonder?"

Meng Tian felt that his breathing was a little heavy, which was a life-saving book for the officers and soldiers of the three armies!

If what this book says is true, then the miasma of poisonous insects in the south is no longer a natural barrier. With the national strength of the Great Qin Empire, it was only easy to subdue the Indochina Peninsula.

An army of 300,000?

If there were no such natural dangers, 50,000 Great Qin Ruishi would be enough to sweep through the southern frontier.

"I had a strange dream, and I saw it in it, and I copied it from my hand."

Ying Zheng's face was expressionless and said casually.

"......" Meng Tian.

Since His Majesty was reluctant to say it, he naturally did not dare to ask.

As for this, he didn't believe it anyway, how could there be such a ridiculous thing in the world?

"Your Majesty, what about the Dian Kingdom and Yelang?"

Meng Tian rubbed his hands and said with great interest.

As a general of Great Qin, he only learned about war in his life, and it can be said that he is a person who was born for war.

In these years, he has guarded the northern frontier, whether it is the Xiongnu or the Yueshi, Donghu is honest and does not dare to provoke Daqin at all.

Therefore, Meng Tian is also very much looking forward to galloping on the battlefield again, and now that His Majesty has let himself attack Yuyue, the time and place are favorable, and he naturally wants to clean up Yelang and Dian Kingdom together.

"After years of war and suffering, I hope to end the war as soon as possible and return the people of the world to a prosperous era. The Dian Kingdom and Yelang I have their own means, and you are only responsible for the Indochina Peninsula. ”

Ying Zheng sighed and said with a rather melancholy expression.

With his extraordinary political sense, Meng Tian instantly smelled an unusual breath.

I'm afraid that this day is going to change, and it will be a change that will sweep the Great Qin Empire.

In the face of this unstoppable surging trend, those who go along with it will prosper, and those who go against it will die.

"Your Majesty, if there are no poisonous miasma, poisonous insects, and plagues raging, the minister only needs 50,000 essence armor to subdue the Indochina Peninsula."

Meng Tian knew that Zhongnan was far away from Guanzhong, and the transportation of grain, grass and ordnance was not only long and long, but also muddy roads with poor mountains and bad waters, which was indeed a huge burden to the Great Qin Empire.

If only tens of thousands of fine armor are needed, it will definitely be able to greatly reduce the burden of the empire and share the worries of His Majesty.

"Okay, Meng Qing is deeply heartfelt, I am very pleased!"

Ying Zheng is waiting for this sentence, if it is really an expedition of laborers, 500,000 people will attack the barren land of the Indochina Peninsula, it will not hurt in a short time, once the war is undecided, it will be even worse for the Great Qin Empire.

"As long as Your Majesty's medicinal herbs are effective, your medical skills are spiritual, and your subordinates guarantee your life, the Indochina Peninsula will definitely be filled with the banner of my Great Qin King."

Meng Tian's voice was generous and powerful, and in front of Ying Zheng, he made a military order.

"Meng Qing just rest assured, I promise that you will have no worries, and Xiangjun will be your strong backing. I am not in a hurry, I don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, as long as you occupy a place, I will lay a solid foundation for me. ”

Ying Zheng pointed out that he hoped that Meng Tian would understand that it was not enough to conquer the territory, and that it was necessary to integrate it in order to truly be the territory of the Great Qin Empire.

"Your Majesty, the minister understands, please rest assured. The ministers will strictly discipline themselves, try to avoid bloodshed, create a good reputation for His Majesty, and let the officials win the hearts of the people. ”

Meng Tian immediately understood what Yingzheng meant, and immediately bowed.

"Go ahead! I will set up a celebration wine for Meng Qing in Xianyang, hoping that Meng Qing will return triumphantly as soon as possible. On the day of Meng Qing's return, I will personally marry Meng Xun and Yueman. ”

Ying Zheng personally picked up the jade pot, poured two glasses of wine, and then handed Meng Tian a glass.

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for the ministers to repay the king's kindness if they die, if they can't take the Indochina Peninsula, the ministers are willing to die in the war to repay the king's kindness and comfort the people."

Meng Tian burst into tears, and his voice whimpered.

"I wait for Meng Qing to triumph, and the people of the Great Qin Empire will also look forward to the safe return of the general with me. I don't allow Meng Qing to die, Daqin can't do without Meng Qing, and the soldiers of the three armies can't do without a commander. ”

Ying Zheng helped Meng Tian up and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty take care, the minister will immediately leave for the South China Sea, and when the time is ripe, he will lead 50,000 elites to attack."

Meng Tian bowed down again.

"Go ahead! I am waiting for the general to become famous again and make a name for the empire......"

Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand, and said with confidence in Meng Tian.
