Chapter 167: Abolition of Slavery
Hu Hai turned a blind eye to all this, this is what he wanted!
"Wang Yan, after the Ming Dynasty, after the post-book ceremony, in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, this edict will be told to the people of Xianyang, and then immediately to all parts of Daqin!" Hu Hai turned to Wang Yan who was standing aside!
"Whoa!"
"In this way, I will talk about the business that I have summoned you Aiqing today! I want to abolish all the private slaves that are prevalent in Daqin now, and from now on there will be no more slaves in Daqin, and all private slaves will be pardoned as the heads of the common people and live in the people's livelihood, what do you think? ”
Hearing that the emperor was going to talk about business, all the important ministers in the hall sat upright and pricked up their ears and began to listen! However, the first words of the young emperor above the main hall shocked everyone!
Abolition!?
Pardon all the slaves as the heads of the common people!?
Isn't it that the little emperor can't figure out how many private slaves are among the nobles and wealthy families in the land of Daqin Guanzhong and the whole world? If all these people with slavery are pardoned as the common people of Qian, then who will serve them? Who will take care of the work in the house? Who will plough the family's land? Do you still need to wait for someone to do it yourself?
Hu Hai's words fell, and the hall first fell into a deathly silence, and then the great Qin ministers in the hall began to shake!
"You Aiqing don't have to be in a hurry to oppose first, it's not too late to discuss it after listening to me!" Hu Hai saw that Li Si and the others wanted to get up and speak, waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down, and said with a smile!
Seeing that the ministers of Daqin who were a little agitated because of their own discussion on abolition of slavery were quiet again, Hu Hai's smile gradually faded, things are much more difficult than he imagined, but now that the abolition of slavery is on the way, he has to do it in advance!
Originally, Hu Hai wanted to wait until the restoration rebellion of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms was completely resolved before abolishing slavery, but the sudden scorching heat reminded Hu Hai that the northern land is so hot at the moment, if you want to pacify the Jiangdong rebellion, I am afraid that the Chu land of the three major furnaces is even hotter!
Most of the Qin army are from Guanzhong, and they are used to the dry weather in the north, and it is difficult to adapt to the humid and hot climate in the south! The south is watery, the summer troops, the weather is impermanent, the roads are muddy, the transportation of cavalry and grain and grass is extremely inconvenient, think about it, the way back to Xianyang is that Hu Hai has agreed with Meng Tian to wait until the summer dissipates in September and then send troops south, a war to calm the world.
In this way, a very important question is placed in front of Hu Hai!
Now that the problem of the great drought that he was worried about when he returned to Xianyang has been inexplicably solved by himself, and the land of Guanzhong is also stable because of his miracles, and there will definitely be no more major chaos.
Then these two months are very important in Hu Hai's opinion!
The news that several counties in Liaodong in northern Daqin had been plundered by the Xiongnu had been received by Hu Hai on his way back to Xianyang. reminded Hu Hai again, because of his arrival, it would have taken at least a year to unify the vast territory of the entire northern part of Great Qin, and Mao Dun had already destroyed Donghu in advance, and the northern frontier of Great Qin had completely become a paradise for the Hun cavalry!
And because Xiang Liang inexplicably retreated to the south of the Huai River, now the entire Central Plains and Jiangbei have returned to the rule of Great Qin again! Hu Hai ordered Han Xin and Feng Zaitun to fight on the north bank of the Huai River precisely to prevent Xiang Liang's army from crossing the Huai River again and slaughtering the land north of the river! How to seize these two months to solve a series of problems as soon as possible, so that Daqin can recover his original qi as soon as possible has become the first problem that Hu Hai should consider!
The development of dozens of counties in Jiangbei and the Central Plains cannot be stopped because of the war!
Jiangnan and other places, as well as several counties in South Vietnam, will inevitably be devastated after the war, if at the same time as the war, so that the counties of Shandong, Guanzhong, and Jiangbei can recuperate and resume production as soon as possible, and immediately after the war, they can use the products of the north to supplement the needs of the south, which will inevitably make Daqin recover faster.
In this way, after the reunification of Great Qin, Hu Hai had the confidence and confidence to immediately launch an action against the Xiongnu! After all, the border of Daqin is too long, and although the Great Wall is there, any place can become a pass for the Huns to break through!
The long border, if Daqin has been passively defending, how many soldiers will it need?
Only by taking the initiative to destroy the Xiongnu or beat them to the point that they never dare to attack Daqin again, is it a done thing once and for all! After all, there is still a long Europe for the Huns to plunder!
It's just right for the Huns to hit the vanguard, isn't it?
"The Huns invaded the territory of our Great Qin from the mouth of Chifeng, and you Aiqing are in Xianyang, so you should know before me, right? This is something that has not happened for many years since Meng Aiqing attacked the Xiongnu in the north and recaptured the Hetao Plain? Have you ever known? Hu Hai changed the topic and mentioned the Xiongnu's invasion of several counties in eastern Liaodong!
Hearing Hu Hai's words, the ministers in the hall were silent!
To this day, several counties in eastern Liaodong have been plundered by a large number of Hun cavalry, and tens of thousands of people have been plundered, and the news that several counties have become no man's land has long been transmitted to Xianyang!
Yes, since Meng Tian used 300,000 Jiuyuan troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, only a few hundred horsemen left to beat Tou Manshan Yu fled back to the depths north of Yinshan, Daqin has not encountered the invasion of the Huns for nearly ten years!
Not to mention directly breaking through the Great Wall and penetrating deep into the territory of Great Qin, burning, killing and looting the people of Great Qin!
When did the Huns have such courage?
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't keep your eyes on my Daqin territory every day! The restoration of the remnants of the Six Nations is just a jumping clown for a long time! Even if my Great Qin really dies, this is also an internal struggle within my Huaxia clan, and the Qin people will not be in danger of extinction! However, the Huns, since Meng Aiqing was defeated and fled more than ten years ago, have any of you Aiqing ever paid attention to this nomadic barbarian clan in the northern frontier of my Great Qin? Hu Hai stared at the ministers in the hall and then asked.
When the ministers in the hall heard Hu Hai's words, they were stunned at first, and then their faces were stunned.
The Huns, the barbarians, who will pay attention to them!? What's more, it was still Daqin's subordinates who were defeated.
Seeing that no one answered, Hu Hai continued: "Do you know that the Qiang, Yue clan and other clans also intended to invade my Great Qin Longxi County not long ago? If it weren't for Weng Zhong, I'm afraid that now my county in Longxi would be as miserable as the counties in eastern Liaodong!
When did my Great Qin Frontier become a place where these alien barbarians could come and go whenever they wanted? Have you ever thought about it? I can also tell you Aiqing that now the Shan Yu of the Xiongnu clan is no longer the weak and mediocre head Man Shan Yu, but his son Mao Dun.
Do you know how this Mao Dun ascended to the position of this Hun Shan Yu? Mao Dun killed his father with his own hands, Tou Manshan Yu, ascended to the throne of Xiongnu Shan Yu! The alien barbarians have no outline of monarchs and ministers, no father-son affection, and no ordinary difference, which can be seen from this.
If the Huns and barbarians enter the land of China, what will happen to the Qin people? Have you ever thought about it? Then why were the Xiongnu able to break into the territory of our Great Qin in the north of Liaodong, which is far away from Yinshan? Have you ever thought about it? ”
Hu Hai had thought about a series of things, and all the ministers who asked suddenly looked at each other except for Meng Tian.
"Meng Aiqing." Hu Hai suddenly said to Meng Tian!
Meng Tian stood up in response, bowed down to Hu Hai and said, "The old minister is here!" ”
"Just bother Lao Aiqing to tell you about the situation of the Huns now!" Hu Hai said lightly!
"The old minister obeys!" Meng Tian bowed down and answered!
On the way back to Xianyang, he received a letter from Xianyang, and Hu Hai had already guessed that it must be Mao Dun who destroyed Donghu! Otherwise, it would be impossible to break into the territory of Great Qin directly from the northeastern part of Liaodong, which originally belonged to the Donghu clan!
And the reason why Mao Dun ordered the Huns to go deep into the territory of Daqin is to improve the morale of the Huns under him, after all, the Huns were defeated by Daqin more than ten years ago, and the Qin people's first battle left an indelible impression on the belligerent Huns! The second is to announce to Daqin that the Huns are here again!
As the most outstanding military strategist and politician in the history of the Xiongnu, Mao Dun could only beat Liu Bang to adopt a friendly policy, and after Liu Bang's death, he teased Lu Pheasant in public in the edict between the two countries, so naturally he could not be treated with common sense!
"Ladies and gentlemen. The fact that the Huns were able to break through the Great Wall from Chifengkou this time means that the Donghu clan, which had been living in the northern part of several counties in eastern Liaodong and had never invaded the northern frontier of our Great Qin, had been wiped out by the Xiongnu. His Majesty guessed that in the first battle of Longxi, the Yueshi was defeated, and at that time, the Huns who were guessing that they wanted to go south appeared behind the Yue's soldiers and chased and killed the remnants of the Yue's army, which was seen by General Weng Zhong with his own eyes. Thinking that the Yue clan and the Qiang clan must have been expelled by Mao Dun, if not, Mao Dun would definitely not dare to wipe out Donghu by lightly marching more than a thousand miles east!
The Qiang people, the Yue clan, and the Donghu were all wiped out by Maodun, and now the vast land in the western and northern frontiers of my Great Qin is all owned by the Xiongnu barbarians, and the Xiongnu barbarians will inevitably greatly expand their strength after the destruction of the three tribes, and now I am afraid that they can attack my Great Qin at any time! ”
Meng Tian explained succinctly!
These are all calculated by Hu Hai by synthesizing the little memories obtained by later generations and combining them with a series of letters. Originally, this was the case in history, Mao Dun took advantage of the civil strife in Great Qin to unify the vast land in the north of Great Qin, and then fought with Liu Bang's Han Dynasty for hundreds of years!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please look!" Meng Tian walked to the giant map that had been placed in the council hall, and pointed with his finger: "Now I'm Daqin, Meng Yi led 200,000 Jiuyuan troops to defend Jiuyuan, to prevent the Xiongnu from seizing Henan and the Hetao Plain, Xin Sheng led 100,000 Longxi troops to guard Longxi and Beidi counties, and in the north of Daqin, from Liaoxi to Yanmen and Daijun, thousands of miles of frontier line, the Communist Party only has tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the beacon tower of the Great Wall!" The Xiongnu people can break through the pass and invade more than ten counties of our Great Qin from any place that is thousands of miles long from now on!
However, in more than ten counties in the north of my Great Qin, there are less than 100,000 guards and soldiers! And these less than 100,000 soldiers were not gathered in one place, but scattered within thousands of miles of more than ten counties. Once the Hun cavalry breaks through the pass of the Great Wall, as long as Na Mao Dun is willing, he can penetrate thousands of miles into the territory of my Great Qin at any time! You can even go all the way to the land of Xianyang! ”
