After the edict was announced, under the leadership of Hu Hai, the civil and military forces of the Great Qin Manchu Dynasty and nearly one million soldiers and civilians held a grand public sacrifice in the Xianyang Palace Square to show their respect and sorrow for the martyrs of the Great Qin who died for the great cause of the unification of the Great Qin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is at this juncture that no matter what major military operations there are in the future, before and after returning from the expedition, a grand public sacrifice will be held in the Great Qin Martyrs Pagoda in front of the Xianyang Palace Square, one is to highlight the merits of the martyrs, and the other is the sustenance of victory.
The memorial to the Martyrs' Pagoda has become the most solemn ceremony in Daqin.
After the public sacrifice, after eight months, Hu Hai held the third great court meeting since his accession to the throne in the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
A huge map of Daqin has been placed in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, which is a brand new map of Daqin, which not only marks all the counties, mountains, rivers and lakes of Daqin, but also the four counties of Pingyi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and the cities ordered by the emperor in each county are also marked on this map.
Seeing this scene, all the ministers in the court felt a pang in their hearts, obviously, the emperor had been prepared for a long time.
Indeed, Hu Hai has indeed been prepared for a long time. In the past year, it is enough time for the Longwei Mansion and the Black Ice Terrace, which are now densely packed in all the counties, to draw all the mountains and rivers in Daqin on this map of Daqin that Hu Hai had asked for a long time ago.
As for the newly built four counties, in fact, there is only a rough outline, which is completely based on the limited geographical knowledge of Hu Hai's previous life. This also includes the cities to be built.
The most important thing is that with this stroke of the pen, Hu Hai legally included the pain of the Chinese nation in later generations, the vast land east of the Ussuri River, including the North Pacific estuary and Vladivostok, into the territory of Daqin.
The sentence "For the homeland of my Great Qin ancestors, it will exist forever!" That's where Hu Hai's determination lies.
The newly built four counties, there were originally belonged to the Xiongnu barbarian territory, such as the Wolf Juxu Mountain, which was directly established by Hu Hai with a stroke of the pen, it is conceivable that if Hu Zhong really built a city in the Xiongnu holy land Wolf Juxu Mountain, then the Xiongnu will inevitably fight one after another to seize the sacred land of the Xiongnu clan. The area around Wolf Juxu Mountain will become a meat grinder for the Xiongnu who have suffered a lot of vitality and the Donghu tribes who have been attached to Great Qin and have the support of Great Qin, and then the vitality of the two tribes will flow little by little.
This is also the reason why Hu Hai awarded the Pingyi County Lieutenant to Hu Zhong. Although judging from Hu Zhong's words and deeds, his awe of Daqin has been deeply rooted in his bones, Hu Hai also believes that with Hu Zhong and the Donghu nobles who followed him to Xianyang, Donghu will not dare to betray Daqin throughout his life.
But Hu Hai didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, he didn't know what would happen to Hu Zhong's descendants, he didn't know how Dong Hu would change after a few generations, what if Dong Hu Jin thought that Daqin would no longer make them so afraid at that time? He didn't dare to hand over the vast northern belly of Great Qin to an alien race with nearly a million clans, and then cultivate a confidant of Great Qin.
The land of the four counties, except for the territory of the Xiongnu barbarians, is mostly the pasture where the Donghu clan has lived for generations. For example, in many places in Inner Mongolia County, there are still ethnic groups of Donghu who escaped from the capture of the Xiongnu, and most of these people are near Hulunbuir Lake.
Liaoning County and Heilongjiang County are sparsely populated areas with mixed ethnic groups.
In the Northeast Plain in later generations, there are now Buyeo, Rulou, Goguryeo, Wofu, and Qian, etc., and these alien races who are scarce and mixed and still live in the primitive society of Rumao drinking blood are collectively called Dongyi.
The Dongyi ethnic groups have lived in the Northeast Plain for generations, and before the Donghu tribe was not destroyed by the Xiongnu Maoton, they occasionally had some contact with the Donghu tribe, and of course, this connection was also the most primitive barter trade.
The rich Northeast Plain, the fertile black soil, and the granary of later generations, how could Hu Hai let him be so barren?
The conscription of 100,000 elites of Eastern Hu to form the Pingyi Army was not handed over to Hu Zhong to protect the Pingyi County of Wolf Juxu Mountain, as many courtiers of Great Qin thought. Hu Zhong has to rely on the remaining hundreds of thousands of Donghu to defend himself, of course, Hu Hai will definitely provide assistance, this is a later story. The main purpose of the formation of the Pingyi Army was to deal with the Dongyi ethnic groups that occupied the vast land east of the Great Khing'an Mountains, Heilongjiang, Songhua River, and Ussuri River.
It was impossible for Hu Hai to let the elite of Great Qin travel thousands of miles deep into such a sparse place to deal with the Dongyi tribes who could no longer find a trace in the deep mountains and old forests.
And the Donghu clan, who have adapted to the climate of the Northeast region, is obviously the best choice to deal with these Dongyi alien races.
After a group of ministers shouted, Hu Hai appeared on the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
"Qinglong General Xu Chuang was reassigned to Liaoning County Lieutenant, Li Xinaiqing was renamed Heilongjiang County Lieutenant, and Pingyi General was awarded the command of 100,000 Pingyi troops stationed in Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang Counties."
Hu Hai did not sit down, but directly opened his mouth and changed the edict again. And this edict also confirmed the identity of the Great Qin courtiers into the speculative and high-profile Pingyi Army commanders.
When they heard about the formation of the Pingyi Army, the ministers of Great Qin knew that this Pingyi Army would be the same elite as the big battalion in Bashang, and it would also be cavalry. No matter who will be appointed as the general of Pingping, there will be a drastic change in identity immediately.
Originally, the ministers were still thinking about who to ask when the emperor asked He Jin to confer the post of general Pingyi, but he didn't expect that the emperor had already been selected in his heart. It's just that this selection is different from everything I thought.
No one thought that Li Xin, who had gradually moved away from the center of Great Qin after the defeat in the Battle of Exterminating Chu, was rejuvenated at this moment. Became the general in command of 100,000 elite cavalry, although the Pingyi army was recruited from Donghu Jinzhong, but everyone knew that since the emperor sent 5,000 Suzaku soldiers to the Pingyi army, there is no need to think about it, the key positions will definitely only be held by Suzaku soldiers.
"Old minister, thank you Your Majesty the Emperor!"
The ministers were still in shock, and Li Xin, who had come back to his senses, had already wept reverently.
In the past, Li Xin was young and ambitious, and even he was more respected by the First Emperor than Zhao Tuo. In the first battle of destroying Chu, only more than 20,000 remnants of the 200,000 Qin army were defeated, and Li Xin was actually the most damaged.
For more than a decade, Li Xin has lived in frustration and self-blame. Losing the trust of the First Emperor made Li Xin completely fade out of the center of Great Qin, Li Xin, who was in charge of the 200,000 Longxi Army in his twenties, is only in his forties now, but Meng Tian, who is more than ten years older than him, seems to be even older.
Li Xin knows very well that many of the current Great Qin Army can serve as the general of the Pingyi Army, not to mention the two clans of Mengshi and Wang, which are deeply rooted in the army, Feng Zheng, Han Xin, etc., are much more suitable than him, the former defeated general.
However, the emperor still chose him. Just like when he was chosen to guard the Wuguan.
This kind of trust is what Li Xin needs most at the moment.
Li Xin had some understanding of the situation in Heilongjiang County, and there was no need to think about the difficulties that a newly established county would face, not to mention that Great Qin had never set foot in it in the previous hundreds of years.
"Flatten. I believe in Aiqing, and I think Aiqing will not live up to my expectations. ”
"The old minister is willing to die for His Majesty!"
“……”
Can you change some new words to show your loyalty?
...... "Your Majesty, the newly established four counties are thousands of miles away from my Great Qin, all of them are wild places, and there is little smoke, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" And according to His Majesty's edict, the four counties will build six cities, where does the entry of the city come from? If we recruit the people of Daqin and travel thousands of miles to build a city, not to mention how much it will cost, and now it will be decided, and the people will be at peace, if the people are recruited, I am afraid that it will cause the people's resentment to boil......"
When Li Xin retired, the first to come out was the one who had been transferred to the Imperial Doctor.
The establishment of the four new counties and the construction of the city, Hu Hai also discussed with Zhang Cang, the governor of the Imperial Planning, of course, this discussion is that Hu Hai asked Daqin about the geometry of the treasury now, and whether the construction of the city and the county can be supported.
Zhang Cang's answer was thought of with his toes. And now Daqin is indeed full of grain, just Aocang alone, so that Daqin does not have to worry about food problems for at least ten years.
Construction must be done, and recuperation and recuperation must be done, but it cannot be established under the condition that swords and guns are put into Kuma and Nanshan. Military training is like sailing against the current, and if you do not advance, you will retreat. Although it was impossible to use troops on a large scale in a short period of time, the small-scale war and encroachment on Hu Hai did not intend to stop.
The main hall of Xianyang Palace is silent.
This is the first time that Dun Weak has participated in the Great Court Meeting since he moved to the Imperial Doctor, and it is also the first time that Hu Hai has seen Dun Weak speak at the court meeting. The subordinate officials have a line, ready to be temporarily sent to distant places).
Great Qin is unified, the princes are gone, and the surrounding barbarians are either in a state of hostility with Great Qin or do not get along with each other. Therefore, the position of the pawn in the Nine Secretaries is actually the most powerless of the Nine Secretaries. Maybe the reason why Dun Weak has been staying in the pawn position is ultimately to protect the Black Ice Platform.
Doctor Yu Shi didn't say anything, and as soon as he spoke, all the officials in the main hall of Xianyang Palace were silenced.
Because he was in direct opposition to the emperor's edict that had just been issued for no more than an hour. Those who want to oppose the high position have already been weak and will not come out; The position is low, and there is really no courage to come forward.
"Hehe, but there is still Aiqing who thinks this matter is inappropriate?"
Hu Hai smiled, slowly walked down the high jade steps, stopped in front of the huge map, and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Suddenly, he didn't think much of the silence of the ministers, and stepped forward and said loudly again.
Although Hu Hai's prestige in the Great Qin court cannot be compared with the original First Emperor, everything is decided in one word. However, the reverence of the Great Qin court for Hu Hai was even greater than that of the First Emperor.
There is no other reason, three months ago, the news that His Majesty the young emperor forced Prime Minister Li Si to death has begun to quietly circulate in Guanzhong, although Longwei Mansion and Heibingtai have killed a lot of rumors, but the news has inevitably spread to Xianyang.
