Chapter 15: Breaking the Bamboo (15) [4k, ask for subscription]
Before the army, Wang Jian rode on his horse and looked at the forest in the distance.
This is the boundary between Dongyue and Hoi Ji County, and you can already see the surrounding trees being cut down, and even the roots of the trees have been plucked away, leaving them in place.
The original jungle has been turned into a flat land.
This is the result of the efforts of the leaders of Huiji County for more than half a month and almost a month, and when the leaders of the Qianji County work hard and have goals, most of them cannot surpass them.
Wang Jian exhaled.
He turned his head and smiled at Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo, who were already eager to try on horseback.
Wang Qian's wish is just that he doesn't want to die on the sickbed, he just wants to die on the battlefield, and he doesn't have to participate in the war himself.
What's more, what's the use of an old thing like him who has already achieved fame, to make war achievements?
Even now that he has made great achievements again and driven Bai Yue out completely, what can he gain?
Now Wang Jian is already a thorough candidate, and there is no room for Wu Chenghou's position to be promoted again, if he continues to fight and continue to make meritorious contributions, it will not only be a problem for himself, but also a problem for the emperor and Qin Lu.
At that time, whether or not he is given a promotion or reward, it will make people dissatisfied.
Because such great merits must be promoted, which is stipulated by the Qin law; Now Qin Law is the most basic iron law of Great Qin, if Qin Law is chaotic, the world will be chaotic in an instant.
But the Hou is the prince and the king above.
In the past, the king of Qin was the duke, and he was only called the king later, and now he dares to call the duke?
Wang Jian didn't have the courage and heart to test the emperor, because he already knew the result in advance.
At that point, the First Emperor would be in a dilemma.
Let the emperor fall into a difficult situation, and even have to be crowned a duke in order to maintain Qin Law in the end?
He Wang Jian just didn't want to die on the sickbed, and he didn't want to die, not to mention that he also had a son, who was now serving as the governor of the state army in Penglaizhou.
The political rank has changed now, but the rank has not changed, and it is the same as the original lord and political rank, which may be left for later.
His son has a chance to go further.
So of course Wang Jian won't look for trouble inexplicably, of course, it's not just that, in fact, it's also because Wang Jian really wants to make Daqin better.
Now the younger generation of generals of Great Qin, except for Han Xin, the rest have not yet developed, and they lack tempering.
Back then, Wu Anjun Bai Qi was able to support them, so that their generation of generals could develop slowly, and now of course he also wants to support the next generation of people.
He looked at Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo, and said with a soft smile: "Now that there are firearms, Baiyue is already the turtle in Daqin's urn, so I don't need to appear on the stage." ”
"This time, with Zhang Han as the vanguard, he will break through on the left side and cut off the enemy."
"Zhao Tuo was the front army, and he broke through on the right side and killed all the people in Dongyue, leaving only a clean land."
Wang Jian touched his beard, looked in the direction in the distance and smiled leisurely.
"Of course, if there is a surrender, it can also be accepted into the Great Qin."
There was some elusiveness in his slightly squinted and smiling eyes: "After all, it will be a big deal to build Tianhai City in a while. ”
"A big deal that must not be delayed."
Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo glanced at each other, with a smile of surprise and excitement in their eyes, and immediately said: "Honorable order!" ”
They thought that if they came with General Wang, although there would be no more variables in this war, there would be no credit to be gained.
But I didn't expect that General Wang would take the initiative to give up his military merits!
Zhao Tuo and Zhang Han glanced at each other, their eyes full of excitement.
At this moment, the horn behind the army sounded, and the originally orderly Great Qin soldiers were divided into three parts.
One part followed behind Zhang Han, the other part followed behind Zhao Tuo, and most of the army was still following Wang Qian's side, one of their purposes was to protect Wang Qian, and the other was to prevent the people of Dongyue from escaping.
When the army was already well distributed, Zhao Tuo and Zhang Han glanced at each other, then nodded slightly at Wang Qian, and then headed in the direction of Dongyue.
Although Yang Tianyi of Huiji County had previously summoned a part of the Qianshou to cut down the trees in the outer jungles of Dongyue, there were too many primeval jungles in Dongyue.
This was also a challenge for the soldiers of Great Qin.
Wang Jian watched the two teams gradually move away, with a little melancholy in his heart, he could see the sharpness of the current Great Qin soldiers and commanders from Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo.
That's a good thing.
"It's really a good thing that the Yangtze River is chasing the waves."
The corners of his mouth pursed a smile: "After the sun sets, there will be another great sun rising, and the sun of Great Qin will never fall." ”
The adjutant general on the side just lowered his head and listened silently.
After a while, Wang Qian, who had finished sighing, turned his head, looked at the people around him and said: "Order the whole army to rest and recuperate, and then ask the military doctor to immediately boil some "Qinglong Miasma Soup", and be ready to treat and replace the people who come out of it. ”
The people on the side nodded slightly, and after answering the "whoo", they hurried to order the whole army to rest and recuperate.
Wang Jian was sitting there, and the footsteps behind him sounded, and the imperial doctor ordered Lin Jun to come to ask him for a daily peace pulse to ensure Wang Qian's health.
He pressed his forehead, looked at Lin Jun and said, "The old man really doesn't have anything to do. ”
"Isn't Kid Chen well prepared?"
"Isn't that Raushzi Qinglong miasma soup made by him? It works. ”
Maybe he likes to be verbose when he is old, and now Wang Jian is also muttering: "Fortunately, I listened to Chen Ke's words four or five years ago, and I didn't come to forcibly attack Baiyue." ”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no way to live."
He said with a smile: "The danger of miasma is indeed exactly the same as what Chen Xiaozi said at the beginning, or even worse. ”
"It's just that maybe God didn't expect that Chen Ke guy would have this decoction for the treatment of miasma, right?"
Wang Jian smiled, letting Lin Jun take his pulse, and the thoughts in his heart were churning back and forth.
...........
On a continent.
The ships had just landed, and there were countless ships floating on the sea level in the distance, black and oppressive, like dark clouds.
Several people disembarked from the boat with a calm look on their faces.
The leaders are Xu Fu and Di Lun.
Xu Fu looked at the land in the distance and exhaled: "I'm finally back." ”
Di Lun also said with emotion: "Since I was born, I haven't left my hometown for so long, and now I'm finally back." ”
There was a dangerous glint in his eyes: "Xu Envoy Order, the Heavenly Army has arrived, why don't we take advantage of the fact that those people have not yet reacted, go straight to the enemy camp, and drive those people away completely?" ”
"Wait until it's repaired, conquer the city again, and then capture the natives, dig a mine for us, and get oil!"
Xu Fu also smiled slightly, looking like a fairy wind bone, but the words he said made people chill in his bones.
"Okay."
"I'll go and invite General Sun!"
...........
Xianyang City
After the news of the book repair spread, many people of insight in the world began to run towards Xianyang City, and even before coming, they had to build momentum.
Literati throughout the ages have been like this, always like to build momentum and make a name for themselves first, as if they would die without fame.
Of course, this is understandable to the superiors.
Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke sitting opposite, raised his eyebrows slightly, he looked at Chen Ke and said: "There is no one else now, let's talk about it, why do you have to let me become the so-called editor-in-chief of this "moral study"?" ”
Chen Ke smiled, and a little excitement flashed on his face: "Your Majesty, what do you think is the first thing you need to do after the people of the world and thousands of Qiantou are gradually developing and can eat their stomachs?" ”
Ying Zheng did not have the slightest doubt: "Read." ”
Chen Ke nodded: "Yes, it's reading." ”
"Now we're going to make new books and make them only accessible to a certain age group, and we're going to push those books directly into the world."
"Your Majesty may not need to be famous."
"But there are batches of children in this time period, if they always see your name on the books they read, and you are the editor, what will they subconsciously feel?"
Ying Zheng's expression became serious: "They will revere me." ”
Yes, that's the impact of a book editor-in-chief.
Maybe in the future, you won't feel anything when you see the editors-in-chief of some books, but that's because those "editors-in-chief" aren't very famous.
"Fame" is one of the things that cannot be fathomed and pursued.
Of course, it's also because those people don't stand on a certain high position.
For example, if you change the name of the editor-in-chief to xxx, a high-ranking person who everyone knows, when you were a child, you see this name, and you know that you are studying the books compiled by this person.
How would you react?
You will develop a habit from an early age to regard this person as an irreversible figure, and you will subconsciously become the support of this person, because you have regarded this person as your teacher and yourself as a disciple.
This is the reason why Chen Ke asked Yingzheng to be the "editor-in-chief", and it is also the most important reason.
Of course, there are other reasons.
At this time, Chen Ke was explaining this other reason.
"Your Majesty, the importance of 'moral learning' is to cultivate children's books from an early age, which tells children what is right and what is wrong, what should be done and what should not be done."
"Why is his advanced book called "Ideology, Politics and Moral Rule of Law"?
"It was at that stage that we needed to popularize something that seemed to everyone should know, so that there would be no "legal blindness" in the world, and no one would not know Qin Law."
"In this way, the world can be much more stable."
"And the initial "moral learning" is also to shape their moral character, so that they do not go down the wrong path, and it is also to let them develop good habits from an early age."
"Such a book must and can only be edited by you."
"Otherwise, will it affect more than thousands?"
Ying Zheng listened to Chen Ke's words and glanced at Chen Ke, he knew that there must be more than that, but at this time Ying Zheng didn't bother to ask.
After all, he felt that these things might not be completely completed in ten or twenty years, and the emperor at that time was not necessarily him, so these things would let Fusu work and have a headache at that time.
After all, this guy Fusu is Chen Ke's disciple, shouldn't the disciple clean up the mess for his teacher?
Thinking like this, Ying Zheng didn't even restrain the smile on the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Chen Ke and said, "Okay, it's not me who will clean up the mess for you when the time comes." ”
Ying Zheng yawned, since he started exercising and thinking about it, he became more and more casual in front of Chen Ke, like an ordinary middle-aged man.
Chen Ke also smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, looking warm.
"Your Majesty, how could I leave the endgame?"
He shook his head and said, "However, I recently heard that Fusu told me that His Majesty has fallen in love with a woman for Fusu, can she be the crown princess?" ”
There were some rumors about the selection of the crown princess a few days ago, but there was no origin and reputation of that woman in the wind, which made Chen Ke a little curious.
The last thing a person can refuse is gossip.
Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke, with helplessness on his face, he raised his forehead slightly, and then said: "Yes, there are already a few candidates, just wait for Fusu to look at each other and see if he is satisfied." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Chen Ke to continue to ask, he continued: "One is Wang Xuan's granddaughter, who is three or four years younger than Zhi Fusu. ”
"Peaceful personality, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, quite a bit of the style of a former general."
"The other is Wang Qian's granddaughter, who is similar in age to Fusu, not a few years old, but her personality is relatively soft."
"The other is Lees's granddaughter."
Ying Zheng sighed slightly and said, "Actually, these people, I don't get along. ”
He said silently: "Wang Xuan advocated the separation of my son and the clan in the past, although he was more conservative, he just wanted to divide the feudal to remote places such as Yan, Qi, and Chu, but after all, he advocated the separation. ”
"I'm worried that Fu Su will marry his daughter as a concubine, and if he becomes the empress in the future, it will create an illusion for some nobles within Great Qin."
"Although the granddaughters of Wang Jian and Li Si do not have this kind of worry, they have been rooted in Great Qin for a long time, and if there is another empress and they become the emperor's foreign family in the future, I am worried that their family will have thoughts that they should not have."
Parents and emperors have a lot to consider even when they introduce their sons.
Chen Ke also sighed faintly: "In fact, now that Your Majesty can subdue the ministers, you don't have to find the daughter of such a big and powerful nobleman for His Royal Highness Fusu, maybe you can find the daughter of a small nobleman." ”
Ying Zheng shook his head slightly: "Although the daughter of the little nobleman does not have this kind of problem, there are many other problems. ”
There was a mockery on the corner of his mouth: "In the past, Zhao Ji's matter, wasn't it because of his bad background that he was easily bewitched?" ”
"The daughter of a great nobleman, the family will teach carefully."
He shook his head silently: "Just these three, if there is another picture of Fusu, let's talk about it!" ”
