Ying Yu ignored the people in the Doctor Palace, who were both angry and embarrassed, and walked to the front of the general Meng Tian.

The eyes of the ministers followed Yingyu's figure, revealing shock and incomprehension.

"Hiss......"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasp, his body shook, rubbed his teeth, and scolded secretly, "What is this fool going to do? Do you want to offend all the important ministers of the court?

In this way, with your dedication to a variety of heavenly things, Lao Tzu will also protect you without worrying about food and clothing.

is still too young and vigorous, more than sharp, not calm enough, and does not understand the court at all.

Without the help of the minister, the big position is getting farther and farther away from you! ”

......

"Dare to ask General Meng, what is the cost of the southern expedition to Baiyue?"

Ying Yu didn't know what the First Emperor thought, and even ignored everyone's astonishment, looking modest and even a little shy.

"The southern expedition to Baiyue, although it is not my Meng Tian's main business, I have also heard of it.

It has been six years since the southern expedition to Baiyue in 219 BC.

During this period, three large-scale wars were launched, the first time 500,000 troops were dispatched, and due to the unadaptation of water and soil, more than 300,000 old Qin soldiers and thieves were sacrificed, and there were few such great sacrifices in the war of annihilation.

In order to solve the supply problems of grain, grass, equipment and other supplies of the Qin army, they had to dig a spiritual canal.

By the time the troops were dispatched last year, the situation was basically under control.

I wanted to collect the army back to the Central Plains, but I had no choice but to have a large land in Lingnan, many mountains, and the people's hearts were not attached.

Not only will it be unable to collect troops, but this year more sergeants, sons-in-law, and small traders will be sent to Lingnan to fill the army, and the population will be 500,000.

In this way, the entire Lingnan invested one million, coupled with the huge Lingqu project, which really burdened Daqin.

However, the meritorious deeds are also unprecedented, which is equivalent to the expansion of the territory of Great Qin by more than one percent.

Baiyue set up three counties of Guilin, Nanhai and Xiangjun, with Ren Huan as the captain of Nanhai, Zhao Tuo as the deputy general, and the general of the three counties. ”

……

"Daqin dominates the 36 counties in the world, and it has not yet been stabilized and consolidated, and it is too busy to take care ......of itself."

Ying Yu frowned, and asked quietly, "Why is it that the people are so laborious and costly, the army is far away, the three counties are added, and the Qin people go to fill the barren southern barbarian land?" ”

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

It's thunder again.

What kind of questioning Meng Tian is this, this is a direct bombardment of Qin Shi Huang?!

"The Huns have repeatedly invaded our borders in order to plunder my Great Qin's grain, property, and women.

Regardless of whether their aggression was correct or not, at least the plan was clear and clear, and even embraced by the Hu people.

Unlike the Xiongnu in the north, Lingnan is mainly backward in farming, fishing and hunting, and will not invade Daqin at all. ”

Ying Yu looked at the important ministers of the court with a faint sarcasm on her face, "I don't understand, people have not committed anything, but we want to occupy it, and the land of Baiyue is a bottomless pit......

made Daqin, who was originally too busy to take care of himself, make matters worse, reckless in military force, consume national and people's strength, and invest countless amounts of money, almost dragging Daqin into the quagmire.

What motivates us? Is it for the sake of a large territory? What have you gained? ”

The courtier's eyes flickered, avoiding Yingyu's eyes seeking knowledge, and looked at the high platform in obscurity.

Ying Zheng also pretended to be dazed and innocent and looked at everyone, as if he also wanted to know the answer.

"This ...... I have to ask one of the three dukes, General Wang Ben, the lieutenant of national defense. ”

Meng Yi looked embarrassed, looked at Wang Ben's son Wang Li with an apologetic face, and said stiffly, "It's just that since General Wang Jian died, General Wang Ben has been overly sad and has been in a state of delusion and dementia. ”

"Poof......

Ying Yu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

This seemingly rugged man is also a master?!

In a word, shirk everyone's responsibilities completely.

At this time, Wang Ben seemed to have fallen into deep hysteria, stupid and stupid, and didn't say anything.

Ask him? How to ask?

……

As a traverser, Ying Yu knew very well that after Ren Huan died, Zhao Tuo took over.

At the time of the destruction of the Great Qin, there was no King Qin.

Of course, this is not important.

Hu Hai, an idiot, plus Zhao Gao, is not worthy of King Qin at all.

When the Great Qin was destroyed, Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue Kingdom and established himself as the king at the age of 103.

survived the five emperors of the Han Dynasty alive.

It was not until a hundred years later that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to reintegrate South Vietnam into the territory of China.

In other words, it took a hundred years to make a small return, and it was shelled out and a few mosquito legs were harvested.

Even, until the Song Dynasty, the first choice was to distribute criminal prisoners to the miserable land on the Lingnan border.

What do you want to say?

Occupy Baiyue to obtain luxury goods such as ivory, tortoiseshell, emerald hair, rhino horn, cinnamon, and fragrant wood.

What stupid thoughts and actions?!

If you don't occupy it, you can't trade with silk and handmade products from the Central Plains? What is the use of these luxuries in developing countries that have not even solved the problem of food and clothing?

This move is like traveling lightly, and you can also go to a well-off family, and you have to forcibly merge a group of poor relatives into the family.

But it was sad to find that the poor relatives were not only unable to make any contributions, but also an invincible black hole that filled the dissatisfaction.

The only consolation is that the family is bigger.

Big but not strong, there is a ball to use!

The most critical problem is that Daqin was originally a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, so he has no time to take care of himself!

Marriage, trade, and culture, and subtle assimilation, are they not soldiers who surrender without a fight?

The "British" of later generations were quite smart, colonizing the backward "Ah San" rather than occupying it, and they were able to knock out the bones and suck the marrow. Once it is included in the territory, it is really a hot potato, and it can't be shaken off, so it has to drag down the "Ying"!

……

"Father, the southern expedition to Baiyue, it can be said that the sin is in the present generation, and the merit is in the future.

Defending the territory and expanding the territory is the glory and pursuit of every emperor and soldier, but nowadays, it is far from the time.

Great Qin has just ended thousands of years of war, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, and they need to recuperate.

In other words, the father emperor was too great, but for the sake of the future of China, he dragged the entire Great Qin into a quagmire, and even carried the notoriety of violent Qin.

The consumption of this project far exceeded that of Zheng Guoqu in that year.

Zheng Guoqu is Hanguo's conspiracy and a plan to fatigue Qin.

But gritting his teeth and benefiting for life, Zheng Guoqu made Guanzhong a fertile soil.

The southern expedition to Baiyue, the investment was huge, and the particles were not harvested.

When it is broken, it is broken, and the stop loss is stopped in time!

To migrate 500,000 soldiers and civilians, it is better to stay in Daqin to build traffic gallops and build irrigation canals.

As for how to operate Lingnan, Ying Yu will propose a solution separately.

In short, we can't make it worse for Daqin! ”

……

"Boom ......"

There was another muffled thunderstorm.

Everyone looked at Ying Yu in horror, this madman didn't even let His Majesty go, did he want to offend everyone?

"Hmm!"

A voice came from the high platform.

Not for sure, but for sure, I heard it.

……

"General Meng Tian, attack the Huns in the north, how much does it cost?" Ying Yu looked at Meng Tian again.

"The long-term garrison of 300,000 elites, plus the construction of the Great Wall, and the requisition of 700,000 conscripts, a total of one million." Meng Yi said.

"The Ninth Prince may not know much about the requisition of people's power!"

Feng Qu, the right minister who rarely spoke, saw the topic and got up to explain.

"Great Qin, including Shandong (east of Hangu Pass), had an estimated population of 20 million at the peak of the Six Kingdoms.

The official census has a registered population of 15 million, while the army exceeds 1 million;

built the Great Wall and recruited more than 700,000 conscripts;

built a gallop road and recruited more than 300,000 conscripts;

built Lishan and recruited more than 300,000 conscripts;

The spiritual canal was built and more than 200,000 conscripts were recruited.

The war, together with the construction of civil works, required a total of 250,000 strong laborers.

This is already equivalent to eight people supporting one.

In the event of war, it is necessary to recruit strong men to deliver food and build civil works, which is equivalent to one out of every five people being transferred to military service or labor.

Lao Qin, the peak is only three million, and after several tosses, there are only less than two million!

There have been drastic changes in the place, and the old Qin people can no longer be suppressed. ”

At this point, the old man let out a heavy sigh and sat down again silently.

……

"Military expansion, the southern expedition to Baiyue, the northern defense of the Xiongnu.

The Great Wall, Chi Road, Ling Canal, ......

These are all hundred-year-old causes, why are they so eager for quick success?! ”

Ying Yu sighed heavily, "The world has been suffering for a long time, this is the root of suffering!"

The leaders of the six countries of Shandong, how can there be no resentment? ”

Just like a group of beasts fighting for the king, close hand-to-hand combat, melee fighting, even the beast king will inevitably be injured, let alone the conquered beasts.

At this time, whether it is the beast king or the conquered beasts, it is time to recuperate from their wounds, instead of expanding their territory again.

Great Qin, who was originally weak, did not breathe a sigh of relief, and seemed to shorten this great cause of the ages to be realized in ten years.

This is tantamount to pulling out seedlings to help grow?!!

"Alas!"

Ying Yu raised her head to the sky, and let out a heavy sigh again, with a sad face, "The remnants of the Six Kingdoms and Shixun forcibly seized and built the Great Wall, Chidao, and Lingqu, and expanded the military to the outside world......

It's unbearable!

Daqin's huge and heavy chariot is creaking, overwhelmed, and in danger of capsizing?! ”
