Chapter 5 Do not break the oath of Zhongnan and do not return
After three months......
Elephant County!
Ying Zheng stood on top of the city tower, looking at the 50,000 troops below, his eyes were full of fierceness.
"Soldiers of Great Qin, you have made great achievements for the Great Qin Empire, and you have traveled thousands of miles south to conquer in the barren land, do you know why you are fighting?"
Ying Zheng puffed up his voice and asked loudly.
"Be loyal to Your Majesty and open up the frontier for the Empire."
Fifty thousand people shouted loudly, and the sound shook the sky.
"No, you're not just serving me, you're not just expanding the empire."
Ying Zheng shouted.
Everyone is in the army, they join the army just to make meritorious contributions and be loyal to the country.
"Silence."
Meng Tian rode on the war horse and stopped the chaotic situation.
Sure enough, when Meng Tian heard his voice, everyone fell silent.
The name of Meng Tian, the soldiers of the three armies of the Great Qin Empire, who doesn't know?
Many of them have also followed Meng Tian to conquer the Six Kingdoms, and naturally have great admiration for Meng Tian.
"What is the expansion of the territory? Empire Grows Bigger? If that's all there is to it, why do I have to go on an expedition? ”
Ying Zheng looked serious, looked at the soldiers under the city, and questioned one after another.
Everyone was silent, but they couldn't understand what His Majesty was talking about.
"Great Qin has a population of tens of millions, one to ten, ten to hundreds, after thousands of generations, who can tell me how many people Great Qin will have?"
Ying Zheng's words were like soul torture, leaving everyone stunned.
Many people lowered their heads seriously and began to count with their fingers, but they were completely confused.
"I dominate the world, sweep Liuhe, the people have land to cultivate, and the world lives and works in peace and contentment. Have you all been given good land in your family? How many more have you added? ”
Ying Zheng asked.
"Your Majesty for 10,000 years, Great Qin for 10,000 years."
Ying Zheng's words made everyone smile happily, their families naturally got good land, and many of them had several children.
For Ying Zheng, they are all respectful and grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
"If you have acres of land to plant, your sons will have fields, and your grandsons will have them. But the sons of your grandsons, and the grandsons of your grandsons, and your sons and grandchildren, go away. Great Qin is here, there are only so many lands, how many generations can it be divided? ”
Ying Zheng once again sent out a soul torture, and the words were generous and powerful, as if a heavy hammer hit everyone's hearts.
Everyone fell into deep thought, although His Majesty said it was far away, but it had to be said that it was indeed a matter of inquiry.
The descendants of the shade are the inheritance of the children of China from generation to generation, engraved in the bones.
Who doesn't want the blessings of future generations to last?
Who doesn't want future generations to live a carefree life, worry-free food and clothing?
"The Great Qin Empire has a vast territory, but it does not have an inch of extra land. It may not be a battle for justice, but it is a battle for survival. ”
"Look behind you, there is fertile land, abundant resources. But it was stolen by a group of uncivilized barbarians, who were like livestock, drinking the blood of Maoru and ruining the mountains and rivers. ”
"Heaven gives the land of paradise, and it will be blessed by the children and grandchildren, and if you don't take it, it will be an endless disaster. If the ancestors did not shed blood, are you willing to be scolded and despised by the descendants of the future, and become cowards who only want to be happy for a while, regardless of the life and death of future generations? ”
Ying Zheng's voice seemed to be full of infinite magic, and it still sounded in this sky, deafening and shocking.
"Reluctance to ......"
Each of the 50,000 elite armor had a murderous aura on his face, and no one wanted to be a coward.
"Great Qin established the country by force, and every inch of territory was sprinkled with the blood of the old Qin people. Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains have not been given to Great Qin by the sky, but by the old Qin people for generations, countless heroes and martyrs who have sacrificed their lives and forgotten their deaths and exchanged them with blood. ”
"Among them are your ancestors, your grandfathers, your fathers, and your brothers, all of whom are peerless warriors of the Great Qin Empire."
"You tell me that you are the invincible heroes of the Great Qin Empire sweeping through the Six Kingdoms and Nanping Baiyue?"
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he almost roared out, using all his strength.
The expressions of everyone below were in awe, isn't it like this that Great Qin has risen step by step?
First fought with Xirong for many years, and then completely defeated Xirong and stood in the west?
"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!"
"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!"
"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Let's go with my son!"
The 50,000 Jingjia did not speak, but invariably sang the war song of their ancestors to resist the invasion of Xirong, fight hard, and fight bloody battles against Xirong, expressing their will and beliefs.
Even Meng Tian had red eyes and sang without clothes.
It was the most difficult time and the most difficult years of the Great Qin Empire, and the soldiers did not even have armor, and the weapons were almost all in tatters.
At that time, King You of Zhou was killed by Xirong, the rivers and mountains fell, and the mountains and rivers changed color.
Even if it was so difficult, for the sake of the king's life, the old Qin people had to swear to fight Xirong to the death until they finally completely eliminated Xirong.
Ying Zheng was also infected by this tragic atmosphere, and sang with the 50,000 army.
Until the end, many people were in tears.
This kind of tragedy from the bones is not something that the old Qin people can't understand at all, and they can't comprehend it.
Ying Zheng wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then continued to the 50,000 soldiers under the city: "For the descendants of the old Qin people, for the great Qin Empire, I am not afraid of being scolded by the history books of the ages, nor am I afraid of leaving behind a cold-blooded butcher, tyrannical and unscrupulous name, Zhongnan must enter Qin, and must also return to Qin." ”
"Roaring ......"
"Roaring ......"
"Roaring ......"
Fifty thousand elite armor raised the soldiers in their hands and shouted in unison.
"I originally wanted to go back to Xianyang, but I suddenly changed my mind, I want to see off the Great Qin Peerless Warriors, cheer for you with my own hands, and wait for your triumphant return in Xianyang."
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he went directly to the drum next to the city tower and picked up the drum hammer.
"Your Majesty......"
Wan Wu Jingjia knelt directly on one knee and shouted with great emotion.
Meng Tian also hurriedly dismounted and knelt down as well.
I have to admit that His Majesty's presence in person boosts morale, and I don't know how many times more clever than his own means.
"Ten thousand years of Great Qin, ten thousand years of Your Majesty."
Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
The sound of heavy war drums, under the beating of Ying Zheng, slowly sounded, thick and majestic.
"The whole army is on the march."
"If you don't break Zhongnan, you will not return it."
Hearing the sound of war drums, Meng Tian got up and jumped on his war horse, and then shouted.
The 50,000 Jingjia turned around in an orderly manner and walked away towards the damp road in the distance, everyone's face revealing a murderous aura.
As they walked, they kept chanting loudly, and they had no clothes. with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son......
After all the 50,000 troops left, Ying Zheng dropped the drum hammer in his hand.
"Ahem......"
A violent cough came out of his mouth, and Meng Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty's city tower is tight, why don't you go back to the palace to recuperate?" ”
"It's okay, it's an old problem."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, and then stood on top of the city tower, watching the 50,000 army gradually move away.
He stared into the distance, his face devoid of sadness or joy.
Meng Yi stood behind honestly, looking at His Majesty's back, not daring to say more, just waiting quietly aside.
I don't know how long it took, Ying Zheng's profound gaze was retracted, and he turned to Meng Yi and said, "Where is Zhang Han?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, I have arrived in Changsha."
Meng Yi hurriedly said respectfully.
"Spread my will, 700,000 prisoners, 500,000 to the forest dust of Xiang County, cut down trees to build camps, and deliver supplies to Meng Tian's army. 200,000 to Nanhai County coastal shipbuilding, from the whole country to the civil engineer moved to Nanhai County, within half a year I want to see the big ship go to sea. ”
Yingzheng's tone cannot be refused, and he is categorical.
"Your Majesty, the land of Yuyue is not the land of Great Qin, there are many dangerous mountains and bad waters, these 500,000 prisoners are already misbehaving, if there are many soldiers escorted, the gains outweigh the losses, if they are outnumbered, I am afraid of accidents."
Meng Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally admonished.
A month ago, the advance grain transport team, with 300,000 people, took the lead in marching south to provide supplies, grain and grass for the army.
Are these 500,000 prisoners redundant?
"At the end of this battle, all of them will be exonerated and return to their homes, and if there are any escapees, the sin will be the whole family."
Ying Zheng glanced at Meng Yi and said coldly.
Meng Yi showed a sudden look, so he was too worried, it seems that His Majesty has already made up his mind.
This method is very wonderful, these 700,000 people are wearing sinful bodies, if they can be exempted from sin, who wants to escape into this poor mountain and bad water?
After all, if you escape, it will affect the whole family, as long as you are a normal person, you will never dare to have the idea of escaping again.
Even if some of them have no concern, they are only a few, and they do not harm the overall situation.
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the ministers are worried."
Meng Yi arched his hand and said with a wry smile.
"Your worries are not unreasonable, but you only see the appearance."
Ying Zheng said to Meng Yi as he walked down the city tower.
"Please teach Your Majesty, and listen to your ministers."
Meng Yi frowned, and then said respectfully to Yingzheng.
"This south-central land is sparsely populated, with many dense forests and swamps, and Daqin's foundation in this place is still shallow. If there is a escape, it must be a person who has no worries and no worries, and the family is surrounded by walls. ”
"The Southern Barbarians drink blood and are not yet civilized, and if there are really those who have fled into the wilderness, it is not a bad thing. Let them, the pioneers, convey to these barbarians how prosperous the majestic Great Qin is. ”
Ying Zheng walked down the city tower, and under the heavy protection of the guards, he boarded the car.
Yingzheng, who walked into the car, beckoned to Meng Yi.
Meng Yi immediately understood, bowed his hand, and then entered the royal car with him.
Walking into the car, Meng Yi saw that Ying Zheng was already sitting on the couch, and then holding a pen, not knowing what to write again.
"The ministers have been taught, but with them alone, I'm afraid they won't be able to completely change the barbarians' view of the Great Qin Empire!"
Meng Yi honestly stood beside the wide car, first complimenting, and then hesitating.
"A spark can start a prairie fire, and the barbarians can know from their mouths that Great Qin is strong, even if they won't surrender, they will plant the seeds of jealousy in their hearts."
"In this way, the imperial soldiers can also leave a little less blood, and Meng Tian will have less resistance on the front line, which is enough."
Ying Zheng continued to speak while writing the dragon and snake.
"Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Meng Yi was completely convinced.
The human heart is dissected, but His Majesty's insight into human nature is subtle, which is breathtaking.
"Do you have what I want?"
Ying Zheng put down the pen in his hand and looked at Meng Yidao.
"Back to Your Majesty, because Your Majesty needs a lot of herbs, most of which are already on the road, and there are hundreds of carts. There are also some relatively rare and precious medicinal herbs that are still being searched, and all counties are organizing manpower, and I believe that they will be found soon. ”
"The weaving mill has been improved in accordance with His Majesty's instructions, and ten thousand pieces of white cloth have been completed and are on the way. All 100,000 mouths have been completed, and they will be sent to the front line within ten days. ”
"The Shaofu has begun to send people to set up a papermaking workshop in Minyue County, gathering skilled craftsmen from all over the world to cut bamboo and make paper. According to His Majesty's drawings, a small amount of paper has begun to be made, and in time it will be produced in large quantities. ”
"Movable type printing is also in order, although there are His Majesty's pictures and texts, but the ink still has some deficiencies, Prime Minister Li Cheng has returned to Xianyang to preside over the overall situation, convening the world's people and inkmen, and is making a breakthrough."
"According to His Majesty's holy words, the arsenal order is also making every effort to transform the armory workshop, striving to complete His Majesty's trust, and the form is the same. Iron ore and coal mines have also been found in Taiyuan, Xianyang, Shangdang and other places, and iron-making and coal-making are being carried out in an orderly manner. ”
Meng Yi was like a treasure, and replied to Yingzheng.
"This is a shipbuilding drawing, you go to those shipbuilding masters to discuss, if there is anything you don't understand, and then come to me to solve your doubts."
Ying Zheng picked up the sketchy shipbuilding diagram that had just been drawn on the table and handed it to Meng Yi.
Meng Yi took it, opened the brocade cloth and looked at it, and suddenly his mouth opened.
Although His Majesty has made many shocking moves, seeing the hundred-meter-tall ship on this brocade cloth and the twelve masts more than ten meters high still makes his heart shake violently, and it is difficult to calm down.
In particular, this big ship is vividly brought to life under the pen of His Majesty, and every detail is clearly explained. Even under the brocade cloth there are steps for shipbuilding, what kind of wood is used for the keel, and how to soak it, all of which are extremely detailed.
He really couldn't figure out where His Majesty's strange skills came from, and why had they never been revealed before?
