Chapter Seventy-Five: Three Strategies for Pingbei (Adding More to the Little Stones in the Nunnery)
On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the first morning day after the New Year's holiday.
It was less than five o'clock in the morning, and Win Wuxian had already gotten up. Under Li Qinghan's personal service, Ying Wuxian put on his new prince's clothes and prepared for his first morning dynasty.
The black python robe inlaid with gold thread was worn on his body, which made the seventeen-year-old win disease-free, adding a lot of majesty.
On the surface, it has slowly faded away from the immaturity of a teenager, and has a little bit of the spirit of an adult man.
The huge has already set up the carriage and is waiting outside the gate of the mansion. After helping Ying Wuzhi get into the carriage, he drove straight to the palace.
The mansion is located in the southernmost part of the imperial city, and although it is a horse-drawn carriage, it takes more than ten minutes to reach the palace.
The early dynasty of the Great Qin Empire was still relatively humane and would not let the ministers freeze outside the palace gate.
The side door of the palace gate has long been opened, and the ministers who came to the early dynasty can go directly to the Zhengyang Hall to wait.
The fire has already been lit in the main hall, so that the whole hall is heated and very comfortable.
In the side hall of the main hall, dozens of tables and chairs are placed, which can allow the ministers who arrived in advance to sit and rest, which is very humane.
When Ying Wuxian arrived at the Zhengyang Palace, there were still very few ministers in the palace, only three or five people.
Win Wuxian doesn't know the other party, but the other party knows the new prince of Win Wuxi. Seeing that Win was not sick and came in, he hurriedly came over to greet him.
Win without illness or hypocrisy, and say a few words with the other party without being humble or arrogant.
As time passed, there were more and more ministers in the Zhengyang Palace. After Li Wenshan arrived, he took Win Wuxian to meet some important ministers.
In the early dynasties of the Great Qin Empire, the scale was not large, and there were only thirty or forty officials who participated.
Win Wuxi's polite posture made these ministers appreciate it one after another, and they had a preliminary good impression of Win Wuxi.
Seeing that it was about to be the time of the last dynasty, the little eunuchs in the Zhengyang Hall came to invite the ministers to wait for the arrival of Emperor Qin Wu in the main hall in front.
The crown prince is second only to the emperor, and the ministers are naturally respectfully asked to win without illness first. But Win Wuxian still insisted on letting Prime Minister Li Wenshan, General Sima Mingshi, and Tingwei Zhang Guang go first.
After a final argument, the four of them walked side by side and led the ministers to the main hall.
When he arrived at the main hall, he had no seat treatment, so he could only stand respectfully and wait for Emperor Qin Wu to come.
However, more than 90 percent of the ministers have martial arts. Even if you stand for an hour or two, it's fine.
Emperor Wu of Qin did not let the ministers wait too long.
With a sharp voice from Gonggong Wei, he sounded: "The emperor has arrived!" All the ministers bowed to the ground to welcome the arrival of Emperor Wu of Qin.
But there are four exceptions, namely Win Wuxi, Li Wenshan, Sima Mingshi, and Zhang Guang.
The four of them stood at the front of the line, only bowing slightly.
Emperor Qin Wu sat down on the throne, and after scanning the circle with his eyes majestically, he spoke: "All the ministers are flat!" ”
After the ministers shouted for a while, long live, long live, long live, they got up and stood still on both sides.
Gonggong Wei cleared his throat and said as usual: "Everyone, if you have something to do, you have nothing to do!" ”
After a moment of silence in the main hall, Zhang Rongfang, the Marquis of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, all came out of the ranks.
"Qi Qi Sheng, the soldiers of the northern prairie are initially decided. The Celestial Wolf Clan was driven to the extraterritorial grassland, and the Rouran Clan temporarily occupied the northern prairie.
Now, although the people of the Rouran clan are vassals to my Great Qin Empire, they are not of my race after all, and their hearts will be different.
For the sake of the future peace of the Northern Prairie, there will not be a second Heavenly Wolf Clan repeatedly, and I, Daqin, must discuss a foolproof strategy! ”
Zhang Rongfang's words immediately aroused heated discussions among the ministers.
Indeed, starting from the Great Shang State of the previous dynasty, the northern steppe has always been a problem for the Central Plains Kingdom.
Now the Great Qin Empire has a strong army, sweeping across the prairie and eliminating this henchman. But if the world changes in the future, it is inevitable that there will be repetitions.
It's just the northern prairie, the land is vast and sparsely populated. The weather is bad, which is not suitable for the farming culture of the Central Plains.
If the army is stationed on the steppe, the transportation of military rations alone is a huge consumption.
Emperor Qin Wu looked at the ministers under the ranks, although everyone had a heated discussion, but none of them had any good ideas.
looked at Ying Wuxi, who was standing first on the right, although the new prince was young, he behaved very steadily.
He stood there and rarely participated in the discussion. But judging from the look on his face, he was obviously also thinking about the question raised by Zhang Rongfang.
"Prince, what do you think of the question raised by Zhang Dudu?"
The attention of the ministers who were discussing was suddenly attracted by Emperor Qin Wudi's question. They all set their eyes on Win Wuxi, wanting to see how the new crown prince responded.
Win was not in a hurry, and saluted Emperor Qin Wu and said: "Back to my father, my son thinks that if you want to pacify the prairie, there are three strategies that are feasible!" ”
If you win without disease, it suddenly makes Emperor Qin Wu and the ministers interested.
Originally, it was just a casual consideration, and I didn't have much hope. I don't know if the prince is amazing, I don't know if he is grandstanding.
Everyone was looking at Ying Wuxian and waiting for what he had next.
"The next strategy is the countermeasure we are currently taking, to be close to Rouran and strengthen the relationship between the two sides."
As soon as the words of winning without illness came out, it attracted the laughter of many ministers. It was not to laugh at Win Wuxi, but everyone remembered that Ying Wuxian was about to marry Asya, the princess of the Rouran clan.
Isn't this a typical case of harmony?
Win Wuxian seemed to know everyone's smile, with a slight shyness on his face, and continued: "The friendly policy can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
When my Great Qin Empire was strong, the Rouran people naturally did not dare to betray. But if my Great Qin Empire is not strong enough, I am afraid that the Rouran people will not be too obedient!
The so-called weak countries have no diplomacy, and there is a naked relationship of interests between countries. ”
Before Win Wuxi's words fell, the general Sima Mingshi struck his palms and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince's words are really incisive!"
Weak countries have no diplomacy, and there is a naked relationship of interests between countries. It's just a hit the nail on the head! ”
Even Emperor Qin Wu nodded, obviously agreeing with this.
This makes everyone have greater expectations for the next middle and best strategies to win without disease.
Win Wuzhi did not sell the guanzi, and continued to say: "The middle strategy is to implement the military cantonment policy on the grassland, maintain the strong existence of my Great Qin Empire on the grassland, and restrict the development and growth of the Rouran clan. ”
"Military policy?"
This time it was the old man who won without illness, and Prime Minister Li Wenshan raised questions.
Win Wuxian saluted to his father-in-law and replied: "More than 5,000 miles northwest of Yanmen Pass, there is a mountain range that runs northwest and southeast, called Helan Mountain Range.
To the south of the Helan Mountains, there is a fertile land. If we can garrison here and reclaim the wasteland.
When you are free, you are a soldier, and when you are busy, you are a farmer. Achieve food self-sufficiency.
Then slowly build a city and expand the existence of the Great Qin Empire here. Achieve control over the entire northern prairie. ”
