In March of the fifth year of the first century, Wancheng received news that Lao Qin sent troops to attack Shu.

Immediately, he received a request from the Wei royal family to marry Wei Shu, the concubine of the King of Wei, and signed a Hexi alliance with Wei, agreeing that the two countries would always cultivate the same friendship and not attack each other.

For this old Qin's sudden overture, the Wei State at that time had not yet received the news of Lao Qin's attack on Shudi, and it was also gladly accepted, although the alliance between Lao Qin and Wei Hexi knew that it was just a dead letter, but they still chose to believe it for the sake of the short-term peace in Hexi.

Of course, for Daqin's side, Ying's strategy of cutting diplomatic relations was not ignored, and Zhang Yi was sent to come as an envoy, willing to return from Shu, that is, to serve Lin Yuyan as the king.

But Lin Yuyan was quite surprised when he heard the news, after all, this Yingyan was arrogant, Lin Yuyan had seen it personally, at this time, Yingyan was willing to choose to serve himself as the king, Lin Yuyan knew what this meant to Yingyan.

"Such a winning...... It's really scary! ”

Saying that, Lin Yuyan lowered his head and looked at the documents on the table, since the first year of his reign, Daqin has indeed been war-free, and it is because the large-scale reduction of troops has exhausted Daqin's former war.

Of course, with the stability of these years and the Qin court's emphasis on production, there has been a surplus of grain in all parts of the Qin State.

Food and peace brought to the Qin State a surge in population, including the migration of foreign populations, as well as the foreign slaves captured by the Qin people, and of course, the main force was the population production of the Qin State itself!

Since the beginning of the first year, the number of people reported in various places every year has grown by more than one percent, especially in the past two years, this number has been close to two percent!

This is also related to the national conditions, since the Qin State and Jingdi, the population is mostly young and strong, especially the conditions for the promotion of the Qin State to the Qin people are also very relaxed, these are the main force of the fertility population!

The population of Nanyang County also exceeded one million, and Gongsun Ying, who was in charge of the reform of the military system of the Great Qin, also clearly pointed out that the 20th rank meritorious system was mainly used for external expansion, and was definitely not a policy to reassure the people.

In fact, as Gongsun Ying began to expect, after those veterans who had established meritorious service on the battlefield and obtained knighthoods returned to their hometowns, with the support of the Qin court's policies, they were naturally not afraid of the bullying of those rural overlords in the past, and even when they first returned to their hometowns, they dared to raise their swords against the old clan with the left and right robes.

Just like the ancestors of the Wei State, they used to be so brave, but with the stability of returning to their hometowns and the enjoyment of fame and fortune, their minds will inevitably surrender, and the same is true of these Great Qin veterans, five years is enough time for them to replace the old clans that used to be powerful and prosperous in the countryside.

The reason is because these veterans rely on the policy support of the Qin court and the background of the Qin side, when they first began to return to their hometowns, the old soldiers had disputes between the countryside, and the local government of the Qin State was more or less partial to the old soldiers, which also contributed to some bad habits of the old soldiers.

"Lao Tzu once shed blood for Great Qin!"

"When Lao Tzu killed the enemy on the battlefield, you hid in the countryside and played with mud......"

It seems that this kind of view is also common among the old pawns, so most of the old pawns are at ease to replace the old clan that exploited them to exploit the township, and the arrogant behavior of the old pawns in the countryside is also occasionally heard.

It is precisely because of this that the Qin court promulgated the "Edict of Removing the Armor" last year, refuting the bad atmosphere of the old pawn, and prohibiting local officials from seeking truth from facts in the future, and not to be biased in criminal cases involving the old pawn.

It is precisely because of this that the bad habits of the old pawns can be curbed a little!

But this does not mean that the bad atmosphere of the Great Qin Old Pawn has disappeared, in fact, this is also the case of human nature.

The reason for this is that today's 20th rank meritorious system has become a pool of stagnant water, stinky water!

The solidified merit system makes the old soldiers unscrupulous, which is also because although the young people in the neighborhood are powerful, it is difficult to enlist in the army to establish military merits and obtain knighthoods, and they can only be bullied, which is not everything they have suffered!

The battle on the battlefield, the cruel death posture of the robes around them, are all lingering in the sleep of these old soldiers!

Now that it has become a problem, it is necessary to start a new war, dig a ditch for this backwater pool again, and continue to supply a steady stream of living water, only this is the only way to prevent this backwater pool from stinking in the miasma of Daqin!

Especially recently, the five major tribes of Pakistan have felt that they have been deceived by the Qin State by the Qi Alliance, and they have actually joined together and repeatedly invaded the Wuling of the Qin State!

Ying wantonly wants to capture Shudi, didn't Qin take a fancy to Badi?

The land of Bashu is a basin situation, the river flows through its center, and now because it is far away from the advanced culture of the Central Plains, it is not civilized, in fact, the news that the Qin State has obtained is enough to prove that the land of Bashu is a treasure land!

Badi has salt wells and various mineral deposits, and in short, the timber in the deep mountains and old forests of Badi is a huge wealth.

In the end, Lin Yuyan still attracted a group of ministers from the inner court, and first asked about Badi.

Xiangao said directly: "The industries of the Inner Mansion in Badi are now taken care of by Ba Qing, and the patriarch of the Ba clan in Tong County, Ba Mo, also died a year ago, and the young son left behind is also sick. ”

"In this way, Ba Qing also cooperated with the Wuling County Government, and gathered nearly 10,000 Ba people in Ba Di to train into an army that can cooperate with Qin at any time to protect its private property, and the surrounding areas of Tong County can respond to the Great Qin troops at any time!"

With this secret son of the Ba clan in the country of Tongxian, it has become understandable for the Qin State to go to conquer the Ba land, especially after the Ba people really saw the sparse strength of the Qin State after the Luoshui Alliance of the Qin State, and thought that the Qin State was as weak and deceitful as the Hanshui Zhuji, and often invaded.

So, in June of the fifth year of the first century, the river swelled, the country of Ba and the Wuling of the state of Qin were seriously affected, and the land of Shu coincided with the war of the old Qin, and the people of Ba naturally swept their greedy eyes to the Qin state in the east, and often sent troops to captivate the Qin people, which gave the Qin country an excellent reason to start a war.

At the end of June, Qin Ting also issued a "Recruitment Order", recruiting a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses from Nanjun, Jiangxia County, and Wuling County according to the population ratio, of which 120,000 new soldiers were selected from among the young and strong people.

In this way, the already rigid Great Qin Twenty-Rank Meritorious Ruler shook his arms, stood up again, and stared closely at the southwest corner of the Great Qin Territory with a pair of tiger eyes...... Pakistan! I want to talk about "The Rise of Xiongqin" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
