After the collapse of the Mo family, the peasant family, the two behemoths, the forces in the empire that can really threaten the empire are almost gone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And after it again, Ying Zheng can finally target Baiyue in the south.

However, what needs to be done in the southern expedition to Baiyue is much more difficult than exterminating the peasant Mo family and defeating the Xiongnu.

Today's Baiyue is full of mountains and forests, not to mention snakes, insects, rats and ants, just the miasma in the mountains will have a great impact on the imperial army.

Although Baiyue is called a descendant of Yue, it has been hundreds of years since it was separated from China, and it has long been no different from the barbarians, and if you want to completely incorporate Baiyue into the territory of the empire, population is an indispensable and important factor.

Moreover, once these migratory people have migrated, it is impossible to have a proper harvest in the first few years.

In addition, the people of the imperial army eat horses and chew, and the transportation of grain and grass will become a big problem.

As a result, playing Baiyue, no matter how you look at it, is a thing that will do more harm than good. Therefore, since Yingzheng announced that he was going to attack Baiyue, more and more ministers began to speak out.

Even those families who have inherited their family with their military exploits have a lot of objections.

The reason is very simple, the battle of the jungle is also extremely unfamiliar to the families who pay attention to the army on these battlefields. If you're not careful, you'll die in the thick jungle.

However, no matter who objected, the pace of Yingzheng's southern expedition did not stop at all.

For those courtiers who objected, Yingzheng did not mean to be punished. However, the children of the family who have supported Yingzheng from beginning to end have been proudly promoted.

Interests, as expected, are the most motivating to people's hearts. In the face of tempting military exploits, there are people who fight to the death.

Months have passed, and the empire has faintly gathered tens of thousands of troops outside Changsha County. Among these people, except for the core generals, who are Qin, most of the soldiers are from Changsha County.

It is the same as the military merit system of the Qin people, but those who join the army, after making military merits, can get the corresponding land in their hometown. Even if he dies in battle, the land will never be recovered.

It was almost late autumn, and now, it was not only the time when the Baiyue people attacked the border, but also the best time for the Qin State to attack.

"Tread, step, step"

The ministers, who were mainly black, walked slowly between the palace roads. Among these people, there is no one who is most excited than the generals in armor.

Now the vanguard of the army is about to go out, and every place for the expedition is fragrant. Naturally, it has attracted the covetousness of many families.

"Look, I didn't expect that General Li Xin had also rushed back from Shangjun. It seems that this competition is even more fierce than we imagined! ”

In the crowd, a middle-aged general was talking with his friends with some concern.

"No, the northern land has been given carte blanche to General Wang Ben, this south, but we have one of the few opportunities......" Another general nodded and said.

"It's a shame that you were against it in the first place!"

"Hey, isn't that gullible to the words of those literati? Say that the road is not passable, the carriage and horses are not good, and this battle will be lost! Now that Your Majesty wants to go all out to the south, where do I still have to worry about this! The general said with a little remorse.

"General Lee!"

Just as the two were talking, they saw a man who was tiger and tiger, walking towards Li Xin from his side.

"General Meng!"

Li Xin couldn't help but smile when he saw the person coming. In the past, when they were fighting Chu, the two had advanced and retreated together, and naturally had a lot of friendship.

"Hey, it seems that this time the person who is the main general will not be able to wait for me." The two generals glanced at each other, and Gu Ji couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"When! While! ”

The heavy bell rang, and the ministers, who were still whispering in the urn, suddenly fell silent.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Zhao Gao's voice sounded in the hall.

Ying Zheng finally walked to the throne in the expectation of a group of generals.

However, surprisingly, Ying Zheng seemed to have forgotten about the southern expedition. For a whole morning, it seemed that they were only concerned about the construction of the straight road between the counties.

It wasn't until noon that Ying Zheng seemed to suddenly think of it, and said: "It's almost winter, and it is also the time when there is the least miasma poison in the mountains and forests, and I think that the opportunity for the southern expedition has come." What do you think? ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Almost at the moment when Ying Zheng's words fell, many generals who had been waiting a little anxiously immediately spoke up in agreement.

On the contrary, the civil officials on the side showed a trace of bitterness. Once the war starts, it means that the resources of the empire need to be tilted towards the military attaché.

"The Southern Expedition is not child's play, who do you think can take on this important task?" Ying Zheng nodded and asked again.

Silence, the generals who had been eager before, suddenly stopped talking. Instead, he looked at Wei Yu, Li Si, and Feng Zheng who were standing at the forefront.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the southern expedition is of great importance, and the people sent must be people with outstanding military achievements, and their military lords are at least great." As the left minister, Li Si is not only the position of the third prince, but also the person with the highest official position now, so it is reasonable for him to be the first to speak.

Da Shangzao is the sixteenth of the twenty military lords of the empire. Such a position can be said to be extremely high. With only one condition, three-quarters of the generals above the court were brushed down.

The rest of the people looked at Li Si more enthusiastically.

However, after Li Si mentioned such a condition, he was silent again. On the contrary, Wei Yu, who has always been silent, stood up.

"The southern expedition to Baiyue may take several years, and the weather in Baiyue is hot and humid, so young generals must be chosen. The minister thinks that no one who is over 50 years old is allowed to be among them! ”

As soon as Wei Yu's words were finished, most of the remaining generals were cold.

The job of great creation is by no means so easy to obtain. Unless it is a huge feat, it needs to be continuously accumulated. How many of those who can obtain the position of great creation are still young?

And now above the court, the only ones who can meet this condition are Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Ren Huan, who also serves under Wang Ben.

"Those who pass are out!" Ying Zheng sat on the top of the hall and said with great interest.

Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Ren Huan stood up one after another, walked out, and respectfully saluted Yingzheng.

"Li Xin, Meng Tian, I all know each other, but it's you, you can make such a feat, why don't I have any impression?" Ying Zheng pointed to His Royal Highness's Ren Huan and said.

"The last general is ashamed!" Ren Huan lowered his head slightly, for fear of seeing the ridicule of his colleagues around him.

He is different from Meng Tian and Li Xin. Without such a solid background, when there is no one in the DPRK, it is naturally extremely difficult to enter the eye of Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng looked at Ren Huan's slightly cramped appearance, and couldn't help but show a smile.

Ren Huan, of course, it is impossible not to know Yingzheng. It's just that, compared with the previous life, Ren Huan at this time is much younger.

"You can make so many military achievements, but you still can't let me know, it can be seen that your military achievements are not earth-shattering enough.

However, the ability to create a great position is by no means a mediocre person. I can give you a chance, whether you can make a name for yourself or not is up to you! ”

Ying Zheng's words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Ren Huan's ears.
