A New Beginning
readx;?? A few days ago, on the Great Wall of Youbeiping, a small county on the northeastern border of Great Qin, Wei Chong, one of the six emperors of Great Qin and concurrently the county guard of Youbeiping, was killed by a large-scale attack launched by the Donghu people during a routine inspection. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Subsequently, after Wei Zhong and the lieutenant in charge of the defense of this section of the Great Wall were killed in battle, the defense of this section of the Great Wall was broken by the Donghu people.
More than 50,000 gathered Donghu people rushed into the territory of Youbeiping County and burned and plundered, and the county commanders and county lieutenants who were facing the attack could only be trapped in the city and fought on their own.
Because in this case, it was helpless to fail to successfully assemble and lose Wei Chong, who was also the county guard and county lieutenant, this important commander, and the Qin army scattered all over the country.
Fortunately, the Donghu people attacked Youbeiping on a large scale this time to plunder, and did not engage in a siege battle with the Qin army's county garrison that lasted a little longer. The defenders of most of the county towns can be said to be a false alarm. The civilians who were defended by the city walls, as well as most of the rural residents who were able to evacuate into the county town, escaped the massive attack of the Donghu people.
However, the entire Youbeiping County has almost become the world of the Donghu people, and it is rampant.
Due to the absolute disadvantage of strength, the Qin army in various places had to adopt an attitude of watching from the wall to consolidate its own defense.
The Qin army in the nearby counties, after receiving the beacon fire, even if they want to send troops, they need to mobilize troops.
In the entire several counties of the Yan Dynasty, the garrisons were quite loose, so it was already a day later for the county soldiers in Yuyang County to gather and support......
However, at this time, the Donghu people, who had turned a large number of land villages in the northern part of Youbeiping County into a scorched earth, had slowly retreated back to the section of the Great Wall of Youbeiping, which had been broken through, and retreated to the vast grassland outside the Great Wall......
......
This is what Ying Zheng and the important ministers of the empire who were urgently summoned to the Xianyang Palace overnight learned.
After asking the heralds about something, Yingzheng asked a few lieutenants to take a few heralds to the area where these people who had been delivering information overnight used as a resting area.
After a few people left, Ying Zheng silently looked at the important ministers of the empire that he had summoned overnight, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think about this matter?"
Li Si, as the current prime minister of the Great Qin Empire, was the first to speak.
Including Meng Tian, who will return to Shangjun in the next few days, the people in the palace have their eyes on Li Si.
Li Si, who was nearly sixty years old, said slowly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not easy to handle, you must know that although we also built the Great Wall in the hometown of the Yan Dynasty, the area around Shangjun, which is adjacent to the Huns, is where our most elite troops are located. If the general leads the troops to move to the hometown of the Yan Dynasty, then if the Huns move south, we will have trouble in the northern part of Daqin. ”
Although Li Si is not a general in the army, Li Si is much better than the literati who do not know how to pretend to understand and command blindly in this regard.
Because, as the commander of the Northern Frontier Army, Meng Tian nodded lightly.
It can be seen that Li Si's words are very reasonable.
And Li Si's words contain a meaning, that is, the main force of the Northern Frontier Army led by Meng Tian cannot be moved lightly. Because the Huns at this time were the biggest enemies of Great Qin's northern frontier.
Ying Zheng also knew this very well, and Ying Zheng, who slowly closed his eyes, said a sentence: "If I send out the right to command the troops in the hometown of the Yan Dynasty, General, do you have any opinion?"
"The minister has no objection, in fact, the Yan Dynasty's hometown can be said to be beyond the reach of the ministers who are far away in Shangjun, as well as the prince of Fusu who supervises the army with the ministers. If His Majesty had chosen a capable person to assist his ministers in guarding the Yan Dynasty's hometown, the situation would have been much better. "What Meng Tian said, since it is true, is also a sentence that contains other meanings.
Although Ying Zheng trusted him, he Meng Tian did not dare to refuse in this regard. When, if a self-respecting general does not know how to preserve himself, it is not far from death.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Meng Tian agreed with Ying Zheng's own thoughts, both public and private, which was just a measure to reassure Ying Zheng.
"Then what do you think?" Ying Zheng opened his eyes and looked at several other important ministers of the empire, including Li Si and Meng Yi.
"The ministers have no objections. Several people led by Li Si simply agreed to Yingzheng in unison.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and then continued to say a question that would inevitably be raised: "Then according to your opinion, who can serve as the new legion general?"
Now, after you look at me and I look at you in private, the ministers are very silent.
Because this sentence can't be said nonsense, and secondly, they also know one thing very well, that is, Daqin is not as good as before, and the people who can really command the army have withered more and more.
Since Ying Zheng was a little proud in his heart, he was also a little disappointed, because these ministers didn't speak, and another main reason was that although the military strength of Daqin was still majestic, the people who could reassure him were also fewer and fewer after Wang Ben died of illness and Tu Sui died in the southern campaign.
He couldn't help but think of a bastard who made him feel angry, that kind of gaffe, how many years had he not done?
"Damn Zhang Jiashi, I knew I wouldn't be so cheap for you. Thinking of Yingzheng here, he then thought of one thing, that is, Zhang Jiashi was forced to do this because he was forced to do so.
"Hmph. Ying Zheng, who snorted coldly in a low voice, showed a strange arc at the corner of his mouth.
Li Si and Meng Tian, who were standing at the front of Yingzheng, naturally listened to that cold snort in their ears. They didn't know what was going on, and they didn't come to ask about it.
At this time, Ying Zheng said softly: "If I send Zhang Jiashi and more than 10,000 troops under his command to Youbeiping, what do you think?"
Many people's hearts were shocked by Ying Zheng's words. But they didn't speak directly at this time.
Li Si, who knew that he didn't speak, and those people behind him couldn't speak, could only bend over and clench his fists at Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, what is the age of Duwei Zhang...... Isn't it ......"
This question, everyone present knew that Li Si did talk about the most important place, because Zhang Jiashi's age is only twenty-one or two at best, and at this age to lead the army of the frontier, I am afraid that many people will not be convinced.
Ying Zheng didn't know about this situation, but then he said something: "Then if it is based on Zhang Jiashi's commanding methods, his age is still a problem?"
Ying Zheng would not say anything stupid like Gan Luo Twelve Worshipping the Prime Minister, in fact, if he did not have the strength, even if he had the strong support of Ying Zheng, I am afraid that Zhang Jiashi would not sit firmly in the position of Captain Afangdu.
Ying Zheng's words made Meng Tian not calm, because Meng Tian knew very well that Zhang Jiashi's ability to command the previous 5,000 Afang Captain Army was not Zhang Jiashi's own ability, but the particularity of the Afang Captain Army, as well as Zhang Jiashi's identity......
"By the way, Your Majesty wants my identity as a righteous brother to control the Northern Army in the hometown of the Yan Dynasty in his hands. After Meng Tian thought of this key, his mood suddenly became relaxed.
In fact, a few people know that although he is a general in the Great Qin military, under one person and above 10,000 people, this position really makes him feel like a thorn?
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, if Yingzheng is suspicious of him, a general with heavy troops, because of some things, then even if he is reborn by Wu Anjun, the end will be quite miserable.
Therefore, if Zhang Jiashi shared some pressure for him, Meng Tian could not ask for it.
Everyone in the world knows that famous generals like Wang Jian are not simple martial artists, and their Meng family also has their own way of dealing with the world after their careers.
Therefore, Meng Tian was simply waiting for Ying Zheng to say that sentence to him.
Just as Meng Tian thought, Ying Zheng looked at him after thinking for a while, and asked a sentence: "General, what do you think?"
"The minister agrees with His Majesty's opinion, but as the prime minister said, Zhang Duwei's age is too young, and the minister is willing to send Su Jiao and the two famous captains in the army to assist. Meng Tian respectfully bowed to Ying Zheng and clenched his fists.
And after Ying Zheng heard Meng Tian's words, he showed a smile that was difficult to understand. Because he has also seen these two people, and he knows very well that the hearts of the two of them are fierce generals loyal to Daqin.
He also knew why Meng Tian would send these two people to assist Zhang Jiashi, instead of Wang Li, who was relatively the most capable, because Meng Tian himself knew very well that the current Zhang Jiashi was difficult to command his eldest brother.
So to avoid any trouble, Meng Tian named two auxiliary candidates that he thought were the best.
After nodding slightly, Ying Zheng looked at the others and said slowly, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any other opinions?"
"The ministers thought that the general's opinion was very good. In the hearts of the others, they almost didn't say a word openly: "Your Majesty and the general have reached a consensus, what other opinions can we have?"
Ying Zheng looked at the important ministers of the empire who were quite neat, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Li Si." ”
"The minister is here. ”
"You come up with the purpose. ”
“...... Whoa!"
After Li Si brought a table and pen, ink and silk, he sat behind the table and picked up the brush.
And Ying Zheng said at this time: "Appoint Zhang Jiashi, the commander of Afangdu, and transfer him to the post of General Zuo of Great Qin, and coordinate the military administration of Daijun, Shanggu, Yuyang, Guangyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong County. and gave him the post of supervising the county magistrate under him. ”
Li Si's hand holding the brush trembled a little, because he knew very well that Ying Zheng's arrangement was completely to divide the seven counties from the Yan Dynasty's hometown and completely concentrate them in Zhang Jiashi's hands.
Military and political power is not the focus, the most important thing is that Zhang Jiashi can rely on the right to supervise the county officials under his subordinates, and install his cronies in the sphere of influence of the seven counties.
It can be said that Zhang Jiashi has become a prince without the name of a prince, but there is definitely the existence of a princely king.
The premise is that this edict is officially promulgated in the court.
Li Si wanted to say something, but he slowly raised his head and saw that Ying Zheng was closing his eyes and recuperating, so he had to continue writing.
In fact, many people have something to say, even Zhang Jiashi's two brothers.
Mastering the military and political affairs of the seven counties is not something that Zhang Jiashi began to do, Meng Tian and the current captain of the South China Sea are also in the hands of the military and politics.
But they do not have the right to appoint officials at will.
However, when officials reach this status, without any skills in observing their faces, it is estimated that they will not be able to live so easily and happily.
Ying Zheng closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, just to shut them up, his opinion has already been decided.
Well, we're all part-time workers, you're the big boss, you can do whatever you like.
The entire side hall became silent, only the flickering lights shone on a few people in the hall.
......
"Your Majesty, the minister has written. ”
Li Si respectfully handed the edict in his hand, which had not completely dried up, to the table in front of Ying Zheng.
After reading the edict, Ying Zheng opened the heirloom jade seal that was processed with He's bi as the base, took out the heirloom jade seal, pressed the base on a cinnabar box, and then heavily printed the base of the heirloom jade seal on the blank space on the right side of the edict......
With the cinnabar at the bottom of He's Bi, after rubbing on the edict, this edict can be said to be the most important link in Zhang Jiashi's transformation.
Holding the delicate bodies of Yingxi and the Ying Lian sisters, Zhang Jiashi, who was falling asleep, didn't know that he could be said to be three joys today......
(To correct an age-old fallacy: the heirloom jade seal cannot be completely made by He's bi, because as we all know, jade bi is generally a flat, round jade with a perforation in the center, if He's bi can be made into a square heirloom jade seal, unless it is broken whole, and then embedded into a jade seal.) Unless, He's Bi is actually a jade brick, or only a part of it is cut off as a pedestal, and then combined with other materials to make a jade seal. )
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
The next day, several crowing roosters raised in Zhang Jiashi's mansion competed with each other in their own chicken coops, and shouted loudly.
However, Zhang Jiashi had already woken up at this time, and he had already finished dressing, and led Hongyun slowly towards the door of the mansion.
Zhang Jiashi yawned and looked at Yao Yong, who was now quietly looking at him, with a murderous look.
Yao Yong found out that he was indeed cheated this time. But there is no way, the messenger from Xianyang said that His Majesty has an urgent matter.
The messenger who was anxious almost didn't go to slap Zhang Jiashi and the two princesses' new house by himself.
After Yao Yong and his uncle Sun Zhong on duty glanced at each other, they had to guess the boxing, but Yao Yong, who lost, came to the owner's pavilion of Zhang Jiashi's mansion head-on.
Remembering that Zhang Jiashi was wearing a white brocade robe, holding the Lulu Sword in his hand, and almost wanted to cut him off, Yao Yong knew that he was indeed looking for trouble by himself.
Although he has not yet married, everyone knows about this matter, and after being disturbed by someone to rest after a good thing, Zhang Jiashi did not cut him directly into meat pieces and feed the white wolf, which can be regarded as Zhang Jiashi's temper.
After seeing Zhang Jiashi turn his head, Yao Yong's heart slowly put down, and Chen Heng, who was changing shifts, gently patted Yao Yong's shoulder and said, "The adults didn't cut you off, it seems that you are lucky." ”
Yao Yong: "......"
......
Yingxi and Ying Lian, who were sitting on the bed together again, lowered their heads with slightly red faces and didn't say anything.
Although they wanted to serve Zhang Jiashi to wash and dress, they were gently pressed on the bed by Zhang Jiashi, and then bowed their heads and kissed, and the shyly sisters heard Zhang Jiashi say to them in a soft tone: "Two princesses, you have a good rest." This time, the husband was ordered by his father to go to Xianyang Palace. ”
Zhang Jiashi soon left Ying Lian's room, and the two sisters buried their heads in the brocade quilt, thinking of themselves as ostriches.
In the end, the two were quietly talking about the conversation between sisters in embarrassing words......
Zhang Jiashi, who was riding the red cloud, with his uncle Sun Zhong and the herald messenger, was running wildly towards Xianyang, naturally he didn't know such a thing.
In his heart, Ying Zheng urgently recruited him to Xianyang Palace at this time, which was definitely not a trivial matter.
At least...... Zhang Jiashi didn't believe that Ying Zheng would ask him how his wedding night was.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Under the guidance of the herald's messenger, Zhang Jiashi soon came to the main hall of Xianyang Palace, where the court meeting had been held.
I was a little stunned in my heart why Zhang Jiashi, who was at the court meeting so early, heard the chamberlain shouting: "Zhang Jiashi, the captain of Afang, stepped forward to receive the !! order"|
"Huh?" Zhang Jiashi looked at Ying Zheng suspiciously, but he still sped up his pace, and in the eyes of the ministers, he quickly walked to the bottom of the steps where Ying Zheng was.
"Minister Zhang Jiashi, meet Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng didn't react, but glanced at the inner servant.
The chamberlain knowingly opened a decree and read it aloud.
As a result, except for a few ministers, the ministers of the Xianyang Palace Imperial Council collectively fell into a state of shock.
Even Zhang Jiashi found the content of this decree too shocking.
The position of General Daqin Zuo is not the kind of rotten street in later generations, and in a sense it is inferior to the title of a general who is inferior to cabbage.
Except for the expedition in the army, the people who can have the title of general in Daqin can be counted on both hands.
But compared to the high-level title of this army, Zhang Jiashi was most shocked that he had now become the commander of the Qin army in the hometown of the Yan Dynasty, and in a sense he could be on an equal footing with Meng Tian.
It's not the first time that he's been secretly called a "rocket cadre", but even if a nine-rank sesame official becomes the prime minister, he is not as powerful as him.
"This position is not easy ......," Zhang Jiashi is well aware of this.
But the chamberlain quickly finished reading the decree, and Zhang Jiashi knew very well that after he had completed this decree, he had a new beginning.
"Should I take it?"
"Don't talk about this stupid question, okay?"
After Zhang Jiashi heard Bai Qi's ridicule, he knew very well that he had to take ......
The current occasion also made him unable not to accept ......
"Command!"
Zhang Jiashi, who was respectfully half-kneeling on the ground and stretched his hands forward, soon felt a silky silk silk appear in his palm......
He was already destined at this time, and a new beginning awaited him.
