Chapter 459: All-round Advancement (Second Update)
This team of 1,300 people is not very big in terms of scale, but it includes all the troops and craftsmen that Yinggao can think of, although their combat effectiveness is not too strong, but now Yinggao wants survivability.
"Before you come here, how do you tell you to wait?"
Ying Gao deliberately came to the deputy general under Xiang Yu when he saw him off, and asked seriously.
Obviously, he also had to see if Xiang Yu had played a trick with him in front of him and behind his back, in case Xiang Yu told this guy something bad, Ying Gao believed that he would definitely show some panicked expressions when he asked this young lieutenant.
"According to Shan Yu's advice, because my Xiongnu does not have qualified craftsmen, I must obey the dispatch of the person in charge sent by Daqin on the way, and cooperate sincerely with the Daqin soldiers, and do not cause any trouble."
This deputy general said these things can be regarded as righteous words, Ying Gao immediately saw that this must be true Xiang Yu told him so, otherwise he, a deputy general, would definitely not say it so meticulously, right?
"In this way, I would like to thank Shan Yu, this person is the observer of the Western Regions appointed by me before, this time you will go to the west to explore that barren land, and all the eight hundred people of my Great Qin will obey his dispatch, I have already informed him of all the situations that may encounter in that barren land, and he will naturally tell you one by one on the way."
"Your Excellency, please be relieved, I and other Jiangdong disciples will definitely support the observer." After the general under the command of Xiang Yu saluted Yinggao deeply, he stood behind Lu Jia with the five hundred cavalry under his command.
At this time, Lu Jia was still very grateful to Yinggao, this was completely regarded as Yinggao standing up for himself, if there was no Yinggao's inquiry, the generals from the Huns should not have expressed that they would listen to themselves so easily.
At this moment, Lu Jia suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was still quite heavy, if he couldn't complete Yinggao's task under such circumstances, he would really be a little sorry for the name of the Western Regions Observer, right?
"Your Majesty, this time, I will definitely send back the news on a regular basis as your lord said, and mark it on the way, once our army is wiped out, as long as the people and horses sent by the king again find the mark we made, they can know where we are killed, and it can be regarded as a reminder for those who come after!"
At this time, Lu Jia actually said such a thing, which made Yinggao a little unexpected, he looked around, and found that all the people, including the five hundred cavalry of the Huns, were looking at death as if they were at home.
At this time, he finally knew that the barren land that Lu Jia imagined in their hearts seemed to be very different from the barren land they had set up in their hearts.
Yinggao emphasized to Lu Jia before that most of the problems that might exist in the climate or terrain of that land, but Yinggao never told them other questions, especially whether there was a foreign race.
In fact, Yinggao knows that in this era, there will be no alien race in such a difficult environment, and if it really exists, it will be forced out by the harsh environment and go to the territory of the Yueshi or the Xiongnu.
But Lu Jia and they obviously didn't think of this layer, in their opinion, the biggest danger is not what Yinggao said, but they don't know what kind of alien race lives in that barren land, they have more than 1,000 people, if they meet a group of tens of thousands of people, not to mention the unfamiliar place, no matter how well-equipped they are, it is estimated that they will be annihilated by all of them in the end.
Ying Gao wanted to persuade him, but when he saw their prepared and determined eyes, his heart moved, and he didn't say anything else, because he felt that this new challenge was exactly the mentality needed by a united team.
If they know that the place they are going to may not be as dangerous as they thought before, it is likely that something extraneous will happen when they relax their minds.
As the emperor of Great Qin, Yinggao was already a very bold move to be sent to the outskirts of Xianyang City, and the next journey to Bashu naturally depended on Lu Jia himself.
Starting from outside Xianyang City, they can be regarded as lightly armed, only some craftsmen brought some tools that they must use, and the rest of the grain and baggage, Ying Gao had already ordered the two county guards in Bashu, which would become a transit point between Lu Jia's team and Xianyang City.
In the past two years, the team that fully supports Lu Jia is the biggest thing in the two counties of Bashu, if something goes wrong, according to Yinggao, they will not only not be able to do the position of the county guard, but they will not even be able to do a county order, and in the end they can only become the head of a Great Qin.
Such cruel words naturally scared the county guards of these two places enough, and before Lu Jia and the others set off from the outskirts of Xianyang City, the grain, grass and baggage over there were completely ready, so they were waiting for the lord to come and claim it.
Yinggao has been waiting outside the city of Xianyang City until Lu Jia's team disappeared from his field of vision, and then reluctantly returned to Xianyang Palace, in fact, what Yinggao wants to do more is to lead a team of people and conquer a large piece of land that has not been set foot in this era. Because in the future, that mysterious land is a tourist destination that everyone dreams of.
With towering snow-capped mountains, calm lakes, and abundant species, it's definitely a place where tenacious people can live. But Yinggao's identity and status will never allow him to do such a thing, even if he goes, then when he returns to Xianyang City after exploring this large area in the dust, he probably doesn't know who the emperor of Great Qin has become.
Yinggao's ultimate goal in this era is to let Daqin, that is, the banner of Huaxia be planted all over the land of China, so when this great task has not started seriously, Yinggao can't lose a big one because of a small one, if he has an accident or something, Daqin won't know what dynasty it will become.
"Your Majesty, is it really bad luck for the Western Regions to observe this way?"
Seeing Yinggao walking towards Xianyang Palace step by step with a somewhat dignified face, the carriage didn't want to sit anymore, and the Zhu family, who was following him, couldn't help but ask. His thoughts are actually the same as Lu Jia's, and he has long associated Lu Jia's going with nine deaths.
"You are talking nonsense, if this matter is really a fierce and auspicious matter, how can I use Lu Jia, who is powerless, as an observer of the Western Regions, if that is the case, I will let you be the observer of the Western Regions."
Because the Zhu family has always been behind Yinggao to protect when they were in Shangjun, so the Zhu family still understands the ins and outs of this matter quite clearly, he thinks that the reason why Yinggao has to let Xiang Yu also invest in 500 people is basically because this matter is quite dangerous, if this matter is simple, why didn't Yinggao do it secretly, and what is Xiang Yu's business?
After Yinggao's reprimand, although the Zhu family still didn't understand what Yinggao's routine was, he didn't continue to ask, because this was not something he should be worried about, his task was to let Yinggao live well, and stop letting a shameless villain like Zhang Liang send someone to kill him.
After Lu Jia set off, in Yinggao's opinion, the matter of taking the initiative to attack the Peacock Dynasty was considered to have entered the countdown, and he did not feel relaxed because Lu Jia was gone, but his heart was full of oppression.
Although these theories have made him the emperor admired by everyone in Great Qin, and the development of Great Qin has shown a thriving scene, but further down, history has been completely changed by him, including the Peacock Empire, which has not met with China for hundreds of years.
The consequence of Yinggao's doing this is undoubtedly to let Daqin go to the world in advance, if this step is really taken, then it will not be recovered, even if you really take a large piece of land of the Peacock Dynasty, it will almost certainly attract the attention of another giant at that time, and then the war will be endless, and you can only truly realize your ultimate dream by constantly winning one war after another.
But war is made of life and blood, for this, Yinggao once had a lot of hesitation, he even thought that he would be able to guard this already solid Qin and enjoy the life of an emperor for a lifetime.
And after thinking of the war-torn dynasties in later generations and the more people who died in the history of previous lives, Yinggao believed that such an effort he made in this era, no matter what the final result was, would definitely be of great benefit to the entire Great Qin in the long run.
In the end, Yinggao decided to take the Mauryan Dynasty as his first big goal, because the advantage of this era is that there are not as many countries in this world as in later generations, and the scale of Great Qin can already be regarded as a behemoth, and more of them are small tribes.
In such an environment, it is still possible to realize the trend of great unification, and if it takes more than a thousand years, then even the possibility is very small, because it is not something that can be done in a lifetime.
After Lu Jia left, Yinggao was most concerned about nothing else, one was the construction of warships and the recruitment of the navy in Nanhai County, which started relatively late, and the other was the drawing of sea charts.
Although the team of people who specialize in drawing charts with the general direction provided by Yinggao are veterans, Yinggao knows that it is impossible to expect them to find the location of the Mauryan Dynasty at one time, and they will have to go through failure after failure again before they can find out where the Mauryan Dynasty is, and they have to be lucky enough to come back safely without being discovered by the Mauryan Dynasty, which can be regarded as a complete drawing of the chart.
Moreover, Yinggao's requirements are not only to be able to reach from the sea area east of the Great Qin Territory, but also to be able to reach from Nanhai County in the south.
Because Yinggao didn't want to put all his eggs into one basket in this matter at all, even if there might be Xiang Yu's cavalry being fatally hit by the Peacock Dynasty from behind, but in Yinggao's heart, his sea troops still have to be the main force, even if there is no cavalry without Xiang Yu, his sea troops must be able to kill the Peacock Dynasty alive, if there is no this strength, then Yinggao will not launch such a war.
Under the high standards and strict requirements of Yinggao, he naturally had to divide his troops into two ways, all the way from the east, all the way from the south, once he found the land of the Mauryan Dynasty, the two teams of men and horses could choose different places to land, so that the people of the Mauryan Dynasty were exhausted, only in this way, that was the way to win, right?
And all this exploration, construction, training, and path, undoubtedly according to Yinggao's requirements, must be completed within one to two years, Yinggao can naturally relax a little, and stretch the battle line to four or five years, but that is not Yinggao's style, with his own understanding of Daqin, Yinggao just feels that through the accumulation of the past few years, Daqin under his own governance already has such a scale and strength.
In this context, Yinggao's first target was naturally his brother Fusu.
When Fusu received Yinggao's letter, he was not idle, but nervously inspected a small bay in the south of Nanhai County.
"Your Excellency has another letter to Nanhai County?"
While receiving Yinggao's letter, Fusu was a little surprised, because Yinggao was not an inkblot person, and since he had already asked Han Xin to run in person, then he shouldn't write a letter to urge him personally.
But this time, Fusu really thought wrong, Yinggao's letter was really urging the progress of the construction of his warship and the recruitment of the navy, and unlike before, Yinggao put forward a series of time nodes and number of requirements, which in Fusu's opinion is the result of Yinggao's real attention to this matter.
Although Ying Gao is Fusu's younger brother, he is still the emperor of Great Qin, so for Ying Gao's personally written requirements, Fusu naturally did not dare to take it lightly, the construction of the warship because of his convenient materials here, Fusu did not have any worries, but the matter of conscription made him have to pay attention.
Nanhai County and the surrounding counties were fairly populated at any time, and although Fusu was also recruiting soldiers these days, there was no widespread propaganda about the policy, and now, it is clear that the time has come.
