Chapter 620: The Mysterious Carriage (First Update)
Although this war is nothing more than a battle in which other forces unite with other forces to repel the invading enemy, such a battle is certainly far less powerful than the previous battle against Seleuc.
But Yinggao knew that after this battle, they could be sure that the warriors under their command did have the strength to confront the Romans, and with this war, Yinggao could quietly develop the Mauryan Dynasty and Seleucia according to his plan, without worrying every day about whether they would be picked by the Romans or some other force, if they dared to come again, then they would fight back!
In this matter, Yinggao spent a lot of space in the court of Great Qin to praise Han Xin and Meng Tian, although many officials have some unaware of the Ming calendar, but they also know that Rome is a more powerful existence than the previous Seleu and Mauryan dynasties combined.
Ying Gao knew that Han Xin and Meng Tian didn't have to be trapped in Seleu all the time, but it was also very necessary to leave one person behind, after all, although Seleu didn't have any strong enemies around him, Daqin and Xiongnu were really very close.
Yinggao also knows that the gap between the Xiongnu and Daqin has become wider and wider, but will Xiang Yu have any other thoughts in his heart because the speed of Daqin's development is too fast, Yinggao who is so far away also doesn't know, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, the more Yinggao is in Daqin's heart when the development is very rapid.
Yinggao believes that the Romans will definitely not attack Daqin again for a while, but Daqin must have been listed on their blacklist, in other words, Daqin has become at least the same existence as Macedonia in the hearts of the Romans.
But Yinggao didn't have the slightest fear of such a thing, because if he wanted to attack Daqin, the first thing to stand in front of the Romans was Macedonia, and it was not Daqin's turn to say anything.
And Yinggao secretly guessed that although Philip V no longer had Antiochus III as an ally, he would still have his heart for the land of the Mediterranean, and his strength would definitely be enough, and the final result of this was that Philip V went to beg the Romans for mercy after attacking the borders of the Mediterranean Sea and Egypt.
Therefore, a war will still break out between the Romans and Philip V in the near future, and in Yinggao's view, it will be a protracted war, and Daqin's opportunity should be at that time.
Of course, now Yinggao can't tell his people about these ideas, what he has to do is to firmly control his country step by step in Daqin's own hands, and Yinggao doesn't agree with the development method of Rome and Macedonia.
Instead of raising a large number of little brothers who are like wall grass under his own hands, it is better to make himself stronger, as for those forces who want to be the little brothers of Great Qin, Yinggao can only say sorry to them, and then turn their territory into Great Qin's own.
"Your Majesty, you really want to summon General Han Xin back, then the matter of Hu Hai ......"
When Yinggao told Xiao He all his many wants, Xiao He once again proposed Hu Hai's name, but this time Han Xin went, one of the most important purposes was to catch Hu Hai, but now obviously this goal has not been achieved, if Han Xin is brought back at this time, Hu Hai's affairs will definitely be in vain.
"Han Xin and Meng Tian have been in Seleucus for a long time, and the search for Hu Hai has not stopped, but there is still no news, a Hu Hai can't let the best generals of Great Qin have been trapped in Seleuc, they have more important things to do."
Knowing that Yinggao's mind had been decided, Xiao He no longer advised, he could only sigh silently, he knew how much influence Hu Hai had on Daqin by fleeing abroad, this was not simply a matter of Yinggao's younger brother, but someone would use his identity, once Yinggao didn't know it, if he fooled Seleu or the surrounding people, Daqin's loss would be great.
"When Zuo was first invited to my side, did you ever think that Daqin would have today? At the beginning, because of Qin's strict laws, I'm afraid that you officials in various counties don't know how long Great Qin's rule can last, right? ”
Ying Gao asked with a smile, Xiao He naturally knew that Ying Gao didn't want to find fault with him, but now that Daqin had the ability to fight with the most powerful forces in this land, Ying Gao thought of how weak he was when he was just a prince of Daqin, and he had just received some attention from the First Emperor.
Xiao He can be regarded as accompanying Yinggao step by step from an unpopular son all the way to today's person, he knows the dangers that Yinggao has encountered in it, so he is really qualified to answer this sentence.
"The original Great Qin, although it was just unified the Central Plains, but because of the strict Qin laws and heavy forced labor, the people of various counties and counties were miserable, otherwise there would not have been the original Chen Sheng and Xiang Yu Rebellion, but the monarch has set things right over the years, and finally let Daqin have the prosperity it has today, this is really a blessing for the officials of Great Qin, and it is a blessing for the people of Great Qin!"
Xiao He's words were not slapping the horse, but genuinely stating the facts, after listening to Xiao He's words, Ying Gao also sighed slightly, the reason why he suddenly had such a feeling was because he knew that Da Qin had come to this point under his leadership, and he really couldn't stop, he had to kill Rome and let Da Qin stand at the top of this world, otherwise, the enemy would always be his enemy, and after the glory, it would definitely be destruction.
"Then I don't know if Zuo Xiang thinks that Great Qin has opened up the road to connect with the world, from the Western Regions to the Mauryan Dynasty, and then from the Peacock Dynasty to other places, is it really right, after a hundred years, what will I bring to my descendants and the descendants of the people of Great Qin?"
This question is also a question that Yinggao himself has been thinking about, he doesn't know if his blind expedition is good for the Chinese nation, whether it will make the descendants of Huaxia continue to be so strong, or I don't know how many years later, such a strong will become a burden.
"Xiao He's body, I'm afraid it will become a handful of loess in less than ten years, although the monarch is young, but it is not a longevity, the monarch has made Daqin this appearance in his lifetime, it is already unprecedented, how can we control the things behind us? Just be relieved. ”
In fact, Ying Gao had always used such words to exhort himself at the beginning, but over the years, as his son grew up day by day, Ying Gao suddenly had a feeling that he was afraid of what would happen to Daqin after his death.
During this time, he suddenly felt that he was able to understand the mentality of those emperors before him.
Because Yinggao sometimes can't sleep at night, he thinks that if he really dies, those officials and generals who are now loyal to him will be loyal to his son.
Rabbits and dead dogs cook, birds are hidden in the bow In fact, sometimes it is just the sense of distress of some emperors, of course, Yinggao will not really do such a thing, but he has also been thinking about how he can make Daqin's country stable.
After listening to Xiao He's words today, Yinggao suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, it is true that Daqin's country was defeated by himself, but when his mentality changes, it means that Daqin's country is really no longer stable, Yinggao knows that if all the emperors of the past dynasties have such thoughts, it may accelerate the demise of a dynasty.
Xiao He's words this time are a little ugly, many emperors in the previous life loved to let their subordinates call him long live, fundamentally they didn't want to admit that they were going to die one day, and now Xiao He said that whether it was himself or Yinggao, he would die in a few years or decades, obviously if he was an ordinary emperor, he would definitely be very angry.
But Ying Gao is not an ordinary emperor, he didn't blame him at all after hearing this, but laughed and said: "I didn't see this matter, what Zuo Xiang said is reasonable, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!" ”
Xiao He didn't expect Yinggao to see such a big thing at once, the two laughed, it can be regarded as crossing this somewhat sad topic, after all, the development of Daqin has been improving, and Yinggao has no need to spend his energy on things that will be entangled for decades.
Ying Gao's next message to Meng Tian and Han Xin was to let Meng Tian temporarily guard the border between the Mauryan Dynasty and Seleuc, and set up a large camp there, just like Shangjun at the beginning, and gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to stay there for a long time.
As for Han Xin, he returned to Xianyang City first and reported to Ying Gao in person about the situation of the Seleuc battles.
After all, Yinggao's understanding of Macedonia and Rome is still through the letters of Han Xin and Meng Tian, such a big matter, such an important force, it is still very necessary for Yinggao to understand it personally.
What Yinggao didn't expect was that his letters and orders arrived in Seleuc, and in the short period of time when Han Xin returned to Xianyang City with some of his men, Han Xin gave him a big surprise.
A few months after Yinggao's letter was sent, Han Xin finally crossed the Mauryan Dynasty and the Western Regions from Seleuc, and returned to the long-lost Great Qin, Yinggao and every general of Great Qin knew that from this time on, every expedition of Great Qin would be very far away, and it would be certain that it would take years to go, and if the war did not go well, it might be two or three years.
So for Han Xin's return this time, Yinggao still attaches great importance to it, after all, the performance of one attack and one defense is very good, and it must be indispensable to greet him at the city gate in person, and this time Yinggao made an exception to let his sister Yangzi also stand with him, and Yinggao announced to the officials and generals of Daqin on the spot that no matter which one has made great contributions to Daqin in the future, he will let his wife and children wait with the emperor at the city gate.
In this way, not only was it not said by those officials of Great Qin that Yinggao took care of Han Xin, but it inspired many Great Qin generals to want to go to the Seleucus and the Peacock Dynasty to make contributions.
In fact, Yinggao is indeed facing such a problem now, as the territory of Great Qin continues to expand, the requirements of the Mauryan Empire and the Seleucians for officials and generals are increasing day by day.
The scholars are better, the second imperial examination has ended, and Yinggao has selected a lot of children from poor families, they are not so hypocritical, whether it is the Western Regions or the Seleu or the Peacock Dynasty, whether it is five years or ten years, people are willing to take their families to go.
But the generals are more difficult to do, and the generals before Daqin are mostly sons inheriting their father's business, but after the unification, the wars are gradually decreasing, and the young people who come out of the war are only suitable for being a deputy general, because they really don't know how to read, and they don't know what the art of war is.
But Yinggao had learned from the side before, these guys were very reluctant to go to places so far away from the Mauryan Empire and Seleuc, and they would rather stay in the capital of Great Qin for nothing, or go to a place in Great Qin to be a county lieutenant, and they were not willing to go to distant places.
And now, Ingolia is changing their minds in various ways.
After waiting for a short time at the gate of Xianyang City, Han Xin and several of his lieutenants slowly appeared in Yinggao's field of vision, but as they approached, Yinggao and many Great Qin officials frowned involuntarily, the reason for this was that there was a carriage behind Han Xin.
You know, at this time, even Yinggao is riding on a war horse, where does anyone dare to sit in the carriage in front of Yinggao in such a situation.
Even Yang Zi, who was also riding on a war horse by Yinggao's side, wondered if Han Xin had got a woman over there and brought it back in a carriage, and his originally happy face was a little cold at that time.
But Han Xin was unaware of such a change, and after riding the horse in front of Yinggao, he dismounted and bowed, and only then did he stand up after finishing the big salute that should be done, and in this process, the carriage was always parked behind him, and no one came down inside.
"When did you learn to sell Guanzi, and you brought a carriage to me, what did it give?"
Ying Gao asked, and glanced at Han Xin, and said in his heart that if it is inconvenient to see, you can just say it and be done.
