"Yue's?"

"Then let's take it down."

The First Emperor didn't care about this, and his voice was calm.

He read the Northern Expedition plan handed in by Zhao Tuo, reached out and picked up the two black metal villains placed on the case, and pressed them respectively on the Hexi area occupied by the Henan and Yue clans.

Since it was decided to attack the Hu people in the north and recover the homeland of Zhuxia, the First Emperor would not choose to give up because of the change of the enemy.

Now that he has just conquered the land of Zhuxia and called himself emperor, he is full of ambition, and his army is also a heroic army that has been tempered by blood and fire, and it is at the peak of the Qin Empire's military strength.

Naturally, it is to look at the world and see who is a scumbag.

The Yueshi is like this, and the barbarians such as the Xiongnu and Baiyue are also like this in his eyes, if they dare to stand in the way, they will be destroyed.

"You want 300,000 troops, I will give it to you, and start the war after the spring ploughing next year."

The First Emperor promised Zhao Tuo's request for troops, and at the same time set a time for the attack.

Zhao Tuo frowned slightly.

His original plan was to follow the usual schedule of the war and wait until next autumn to send troops after the harvest, so that he would have a year to prepare.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was in such a hurry, and directly advanced the time to after spring ploughing.

"Questions?"

The First Emperor spoke.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "There is no problem, Your Majesty will fight when he says." ”

Although the time is a little shorter, the impact is not great.

In ancient times, the reason why wars were fought after the autumn harvest was mainly due to the problem of food, in addition to the good climate. In the autumn harvest season, when the grain is ripe, after invading the enemy's country, you can get grain on the spot to relieve the logistical pressure.

But if you fight nomads, this doesn't make much sense, after all, people don't farm much.

Looking at Zhao Tuo's expression, the First Emperor smiled faintly, and he put the book in his hand on the desk and changed to a comfortable posture.

"Zhao Tuo, do you think I'm too impatient, warlike and happy?"

Isn't that obvious?

Zhao Tuo complained in his heart, but said respectfully in his mouth: "The minister doesn't dare, Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and it is natural to conquer the barbarians and expand the territory." ”

The First Emperor scoffed.

He shook his head and said, "This kid can talk around the corner." That's right, I'm warlike. ”

"As the emperor, I will conquer the four seas and eight wildernesses, so that my territory of Great Qin spans the east, west, north and south, so that the whole world is Qin soil."

"I want to be the emperor of all people in the world."

Zhao Tuo was silent.

This is an emperor with ideals.

The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Tuo, and his passionate voice calmed down slightly: "But there are some reasons why I am anxious. You are the eldest concubine, and you are only one step away from being a marquis, you should know it in your heart, right? ”

Zhao Tuo said: "The generals of the Qin State all want to go to war in order to obtain the title of military meritorious. ”

The First Emperor nodded, and said: "You are right, if there is no war, there will only be a violation of the law in the Qin State, but there will be no meritorious service to be promoted. ”

"However, the reason why I am in a hurry to fight a big war is not only for the sake of the generals' desire for war, but also for the stability of the world."

"Stability in the world?"

Zhao Tuo was stunned, this was an angle he had never thought of.

The First Emperor was very patient with his son-in-law today, and said gently: "You suggested before that letting me move the nobles of the Six Kingdoms clan to Guanzhong can eliminate the hidden danger of the restoration of these nobles of the Six Kingdoms, this strategy is indeed helpful to stabilize the land of the princes, but it is not enough. ”

"Han Fei said that chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, and the chivalrous and evil boy is the source of the disaster. In my Qin country's homeland, after practicing the Qin law for a hundred years, these people were naturally eliminated, but in the newly conquered territories of the six countries, light chivalrous and evil teenagers were everywhere. ”

"There were many of them, and they colluded with each other, not only violating the Qin law and harboring criminals, but also roaming the streets and alleys to oppose the Qin officials I sent to the localities. In the past six months alone, there have been more than a dozen incidents of light heroes killing officials in various places. ”

"These people are not afraid of death, they kill a batch of people and come again, defeat my Qin Law, confuse the head of Qian, and make the land of the Six Kingdoms constantly turbulent."

When the First Emperor said this, his eyebrows were already a little evil, and he said in a deep voice: "So even though I have moved away the clan nobles of the Six Kingdoms, there are these chivalrous and evil young men rampant in the hometown of the princes, how can the world be stable!" ”

Zhao Tuo's face changed slightly.

He thought of what happened to the Lone clan in Yandi for the first time when he joined the army.

In the face of the Qin army's entry, Gu Ze, the old man of the Gu clan, was very cooperative, and he gave whatever he wanted, all just to preserve the power of the clan.

But Gu Ze's son Gu Xin was full of hatred, and after being bewitched by Song Yi, he gathered a group of light heroes and evil teenagers to attack the Qin army on Chinese New Year's Eve, if it wasn't for Zhao Tuo's preparation in advance, I'm afraid they would really be on their way.

Most of these young men are in their teens, and it is when their minds are still immature and they are hot-blooded and impulsive.

They do things only for their own "righteousness", they form groups, collude with each other, and do nothing without scruples about the clan and neighbors, as long as they are happy.

This kind of person is not afraid of death, and can draw his sword against each other if he disagrees, breeding troubles, and it is the underworld and rogue group of this era that are the natural enemies of the rule of law in the Qin State.

Like the wealthy families in the counties, and even the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who want to survive, they will take the initiative to cooperate with the governance of the Qin officials and stabilize the place.

Only those chivalrous and evil boys, they didn't care about these at all, and even dared to attack and kill Qin officials under impulse.

Zhao Tuo understood.

He looked at the First Emperor in front of him and said softly: "So Your Majesty started the war this time to recruit the light chivalrous and evil boys of the land of the Six Kingdoms into the army, and after clearing them, the homeland of the Six Nations will be stable. ”

The First Emperor bowed his head: "This time, the 300,000 troops I gave you will be some of these chivalrous and evil boys of the Six Kingdoms, who died on the battlefield and harmless to the country. If you can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, you can be rewarded with knighthood, and you will be more peaceful in the future. ”

Zhao Tuo's spirits lifted, and he finally understood why the First Emperor was in a hurry to start a war, and even did not hesitate to march south to Baiyue with an army of 500,000.

In addition to the emperor's own desires and the urging of the military merit system, the light chivalrous and evil boys who consumed the land of the princes were also an important reason.

These people are not engaged in production, and staying in the country will only keep causing trouble, which will have a negative impact on the land controlled by the Qin State.

It's better to pull the army to fight as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if this kind of person dies, it should be regarded as clearing the disaster for the Qin State.

And if they make meritorious contributions, they can be rewarded with knighthood and become beneficiaries of the military merit system.

With social status and property under their names, some light men are likely to begin to change their positions.

This is exactly the perseverance of those who have constant production, and the perseverance of those who do not have permanent production. Perseverance, let go of evil extravagance, all for nothing!

Although Zhao Tuo still felt that this war was a little too urgent, it was undeniable that the first emperor's approach had a certain reason, and it was not just a war purely for his own desires.

He bowed his head to the First Emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and no minister can speculate, this expedition is natural." ”

Looking at Zhao Tuo's willing bow, the corners of the First Emperor's mouth showed a smile.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't bother to explain it at all.

The emperor's will is everything, and the courtiers only need to do it.

But in the face of his son-in-law, the First Emperor will always be more patient, and sometimes even surpass Fusu.

"It's good to understand, you Shaofu, how long are you going to do it?"

Zhao Tuo blinked, and the First Emperor actually changed the topic and asked him how long he was going to be in Shaofu, which was really a rare thing.

However, Zhao Tuo is really reluctant to take the position of Shaofu.

Shaofu is not only in a high position and in charge of the emperor's private property, but also in charge of hundreds of workers.

The most capable craftsmen in the world are all working under Shaofu, and even Qin Mo has to obey him, he really can build whatever he wants, and he is really the most suitable position for the traverser.

Zhao Tuo replied: "Minister...... I want to do it after the year. ”

"Then it's a year later."

The First Emperor let out a "hmm" and looked at Zhao Tuo with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Zhao Tuo's thoughts flew in his heart.

"The Yueshi and the Xiongnu are all nomadic peoples, and their men can ride sheep and shoot birds when they are young, and they can gallop on horses when they grow up, and their riding skills far exceed those of the Central Plains cavalry."

"Cavalry fighting, it seems that I can only dig out some more treasures."
