Chapter Forty-Six: The Black Ice Terrace

As soon as Li Si's words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Hu Hai was slightly stunned when he heard Li Si's words: "Yu Lu? Of course, Li Aiqing and the others are still the same as always. Could it be that Aiqing and the others want me to give Aiqing and the others more money? ”

"Don't dare!"

Li Si and the other ministers in the hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Hu Hai's words, and hurriedly bowed down.

"Then let's go back to the past. Do you still have any objections to my policy of clearing the land? ”

Hu Hai saw the change in the expressions of Li Si and the others, and said casually. But he secretly kept his heart in his heart, and was ready to ask Zhang Han alone later.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have no objections."

"Good! The proposed decree clearly stated that the land government should be established immediately, and the attachΓ©s of each province should be dispatched to prepare for the inventory and measurement of the land. ”

Hu Hai waved his sleeves and said loudly.

"Your Ministers obey!"

"Your Majesty, where is the land government of Lao Chen?" Feng Qujian stepped forward and asked.

"Where are you located?"

Hu Hai looked at Feng Qu and asked rhetorically. What does this mean?

"Back to Your Majesty, it's where you are stationed." Feng Qujian said affirmatively.

Now Hu Hai is really confused, where does the land government live? Could it be that this land government still needs to find a place to live? Hu Hai looked around blankly.

Li Si next to him saw Hu Hai's gaze asking for help and hurriedly said softly,

"Your Majesty, there is still a vacant room in the east side hall of Xianyang Palace, which can be used for the opening of this land and government office."

Nima, after a long time, you are looking for an office, if you want to find an office, you can find an office, why ask my brother where you are located? However, Hu Hai scolded in his heart, but when he heard Li Si's words, he hurriedly said,

"The vacant room in the east side hall of Xianyang Palace, Feng Aiqing can choose a room for the office of the opening of the mansion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Feng Qujian thanked him with satisfaction.

Hu Hai was too lazy to look at Feng Quji's villainous appearance, at least he thought so, and turned his head to look at the map in a depressed mood, his eyes suddenly stopped somewhere, and he was shocked in his heart.

"How many soldiers are there in the border army of Longxi and Beidi County? Who is in the lead? ”

The land west of Longxi and Beijun is now the land of the Qiang and Yuedi peoples, and the Di and Qiang are two closely related ethnic groups with a long history in ancient China. The original distribution area of the Di nationality is in the southeast of present-day Gansu, the southwest of Shaanxi, and the northwest of Sichuan, that is, the area west of Qinbei County and Longxi County.

The original distribution of the Qiang nationality is in the south of the Hexi Corridor, and the center is in the eastern part of Qinghai, where the ancient so-called "Hequ" is now the Jiuqu of the Yellow River and all parts north of it. The Qiang people are west of Qinlongxi and north of Ba and Shu counties.

The Qiang and Yuedi tribes are probably the ancestors of the Tubo tribes in the later Tang Dynasty.

The reason why Hu Hai asked about the two counties of Longxi and Beijun was because he saw that the two Hu tribes of Qiang and Yuedi marked on the map were close to these two counties, and he thought that he only thought of the Xiongnu and forgot about these equally powerful Hu tribes.

What Hu Hai didn't know was that at this moment, the Yuedi tribe and the various tribes in the Western Regions to the west were being harassed and invaded by the Xiongnu for many years, and they were unable to attack the Great Qin bordering it, and the ancestor of the Qiang tribe, Wuyi Jian, was taken captive by the Qin State as a slave during the Warring States Period.

Later, although Wu Yi Jian waited for an opportunity to flee back to the Qiang people, and brought back the farming methods learned from Daqin, taught the Qiang people to farm, and became the patriarch of the Qiang people.

The fact that Wuyi Sword was a slave in Daqin caused a deep shadow to him, and he had always had a deep fear of Daqin, and this fear also affected the entire Qiang people, so the Qiang people would not attack and disturb the counties of Longxi.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are more than 100,000 people in the border armies of Longxi and Beidi, and the generals of Longxi Li Xin and Shangqing Weng Zhong lead the border soldiers of Longxi and Beidi counties." When Meng Tian heard Hu Hai's words, he took the lead in standing up and responding.

"Li Xin, Weng Zhong?" Hu Hainian muttered twice and pointed to the map and said, "Can the Qiang and Yuedi clans attack my Great Qin Frontier?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there have been attacks before, but in recent years, the Huns have become powerful, not only often going south to attack our Great Qin, but also killing the neighboring Yuedi and other clans, these two clans have not attacked my Great Qin for many years."

"That's good, that's good."

Hu Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Meng Tian's words.

"That being the case, when the army of Jiuyuan arrives in Xianyang, Meng Aiqing will immediately lead the army south to command the military, government and civil affairs of the four counties of Hanoi, Dongjun, Xue County, and Langya, and prevent the army of the restoration of the six countries from disturbing the land north of Shandong, and the officials of these four counties will be beheaded if they do not obey the order!"

All the important ministers who heard Hu Hai's order couldn't help but be surprised and looked at each other, including Meng Tian himself.

The reason why the important ministers in the hall are like this is because the military and civil affairs of Great Qin at this moment are two different fields, and no one has ever been able to manage even one county and one county at the same time.

And now, as soon as Hu Hai's golden mouth is opened, Meng Tian has been given the right to take charge of the military, political and civil affairs of the four counties, which is unprecedented since the Great Qin dynasties. This trust is not insignificant, and so is this right.

Of course, this alone can't make the important ministers in the hall so shocked, the most important thing is that with the huge influence of the Meng clan and Meng Tian's own talent, plus Meng Yi is about to go to Jiuyuan to lead the 200,000 most elite border troops of Great Qin. If Meng Tian, who was in charge of the military, government and civilians of the four counties at this time, wanted to rebel, then the consequences would be a hundred times greater than those of the remnants of the six countries, and the consequences would not be too serious.

Hu Hai's voice landed, and the hall was silent, and there was some strange silence for a while.

Of course, the silence of these important ministers is not because the ministers do not want to object, first of all, the Meng clan is one of the two most meritorious martial arts families in Great Qin, and it has been prosperous for a long time, and no one wants to easily offend Meng Tian because of this matter that has not yet been decided.

Secondly, it is the reason for Hu Hai. In the case of Hu Hai today, they all know what they can think of, and Hu Hai can also think of it, since they thought of it but still said such an order, there are only two possibilities.

One is that Hu Hai is crazy, which is obviously impossible. The second is that Hu Hai is sure to control Meng Tian, or to put it more seriously, if Meng Tian and the Meng clan turn against Daqin, Hu Hai is also sure that he can win. But what did Hu Hai rely on?

Seeing that Meng Tian didn't speak for a long time, he kept staring at Meng Tian's Hu Hai quiet way,

"What? Isn't Meng Aiqing unwilling to accept this burden? ”

Hu Hai's words woke Meng Tian up from a state of distraction, to be honest, he really couldn't figure out Hu Hai's thoughts at the moment, he was the one who started to kill his two brothers, and he was the one who let his two brothers go later.

I didn't say anything about the apology before, and then first transferred Meng Yi to Jiuyuan to command 200,000 elite border troops, originally I thought that the most I could do was to let myself bring 100,000 Jiuyuan border troops transferred to Xianyang to quell the chaos, but what I didn't expect was that he not only gave himself 100,000 troops, but now it is a precedent for Daqin, allowing him to lead the military, government and civil affairs of the four counties.

What is Your Majesty thinking? Meng Tian really can't figure out the reason. Isn't he afraid that his two brothers and the Meng family will rebel? Or do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to promote yourself to kill the Meng family? Or is it really just about trusting yourself?

"Your Majesty...... This ......," Meng Tian hesitated.

"Aiqing just needs to answer whether I receive it or not."

Hu Hai looked at Meng Tiandao indifferently, his eyes were quiet.

Hearing Hu Hai's words, Meng Tian raised his head and looked at Hu Hai. Hu Hai's expression was calm, and there was no worry or weirdness in Hu Hai's quiet and clear eyes. There is not the slightest shadow of conspiracy in the clear eyes, except trust or trust.

Seeing Hu Hai's gaze, Meng Tian knew how to choose. If the scholar dies as a confidant, the Meng clan will do the same to the First Emperor, and the same will be true for Hu Hai in the future.

"Your Majesty obeys! The Mengshi clan is willing to lead the horse and whip for His Majesty and raise the prestige of my Great Qin! ”

Meng Tian knelt on the ground with a "poof", bowed to Hu Hai and choked up.

"Haha! Good! Good! I really read Meng Aiqing right! What do you think of this? ”

Hu Hai laughed and stepped forward to help Meng Tian with both hands, and said excitedly.

Meng Tian himself agreed, didn't he slap the face of the Meng family when he jumped out to oppose it at this time? Even if the important ministers in the hall had other thoughts in their hearts, they could only say in unison at this moment: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

"Your Majesty. The subordinates still have something to ask. I hope Your Majesty will allow it. ”

Meng Tian stood up and said carefully. Li Si and the others couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard Meng Tian's words, isn't this a typical inch?

"Oh? Meng Aiqing said to listen? ”

"The subordinates hope that Your Majesty can pass on the previously mentioned method of using troops to the subordinates." Meng Tian secretly glanced at Hu Hai, afraid that Hu Hai would not agree, and hurriedly followed: "The minister only needs to behead and attack the two essentials of the art of war." ”

"Haha, that's a little thing. After a few days of compilation, I will pass it on to Aiqing, not only Aiqing, but all the generals of Daqin will be able to learn the art of war I said in the future. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Tian said happily.

Many important ministers only understood what Meng Tian invited at this time, could it be that His Majesty still understands the art of war? And is it still the art of war that has not been passed on to the world, and even generals like Meng Tian, who are familiar with all kinds of military books, are eager for the art of war? What else will Your Majesty do?

Hu Hai, who looked calm in front of him, made Li Si and the others a little unfathomable no matter how they looked at it.

Among them, Zhang Han and Yang Ruihe are especially happy, even the general Meng Tian has such a high respect for His Majesty's art of war, it must be a peerless art of war.

"But Meng Aiqing, there are restrictions on the two methods of using soldiers, beheading and sabotage, and I will tell you about this later. But there's one thing you can prepare for in advance. These two methods require a certain number of elite soldiers who are skilled in swords and horses, and they must undergo special training before they can be practiced.

Of course, if there are dead soldiers, it would be better. However, now it is not an overnight thing for elite soldiers and dead soldiers to be trained, there seems to be no such soldiers in my Great Qin Army, Aiqing should not be in a hurry, I will also tell Aiqing and others about the method of military training. ”

After Hu Hai finished speaking, he saw Meng Tian looking at him strangely, and the same was true of the surrounding Li Si, Feng Quji, Wei Yi and other important ministers. Seeing that Hu Hai was worried, could he have said something wrong again? Or is it......

"Your Majesty! There are a lot of dead soldiers like this in my Great Qin Black Ice Terrace, and all of them are people with high martial arts skills and loyalty to Your Majesty. ”
