Chapter 757: Giving the Viscount

Wugong Marquis Zhao Tuo broke the Minyue and South Vietnamese coalition forces, and the news of the complete Minyue land reached Xianyang.

The emperor Longxin was happy, and issued an edict to abolish the Minyue Kingdom and set up Minzhong County to govern the land of Minyue.

At the same time, he was happy, and ordered the world to drink for three days, and set up a banquet in the Qin Palace, feasting on the ministers and hundreds of officials, and congratulating the soldiers who conquered the southern Baiyue.

The main reason for this grand campaign is that last year's defeat had too much impact, which cast a shadow on the entire Qin State.

Although the imperial court later attributed the defeat of the war to the epidemic problem, it inevitably made some people secretly have different thoughts.

The Qin army is not truly invincible in the world.

The 200,000-strong army was not defeated at the hands of the Yue barbarians in the south.

This defeat caused the Qin army to suffer a slight setback, and even the emperor's prestige was damaged.

Therefore, the first emperor had been eager for a new victory for a long time, and after receiving Zhao Tuo's good news, he couldn't wait to announce it.

He needs a big victory to save face and inspire the world to mobilize more manpower and material resources for this war.

As for whether Zhao Tuo will win first and then lose like Feng Wuxue before, no one will think so.

Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of Martial Arts, is the banner of the undefeated Qin State.

The First Emperor celebrated this victory of annihilation with great fanfare, and he did not hesitate to send out the rewards for this battle.

One of the noteworthy points is that Feng Wuxue, the main general of the last Qin army's expedition to Vietnam, was given the title of Marquis of Lun by the First Emperor for eight years of hard work in defending southern Xinjiang, and was posthumously awarded the title of Marquis of Wuxin.

This is the first emperor's affirmation of Feng Wuxue's merits.

Last year, the Qin army was defeated in the Vietnam Campaign, which made the First Emperor very sad, and he was angry that he didn't sleep well for a long time.

But he also knew that this defeat was not Feng Wuxue's fault alone.

His anger was mainly on Tu Sui, the deputy general who underestimated the enemy, and he was not angry with Feng Wuxue.

Even because of Feng Wuxue's death, the First Emperor sighed a lot.

What a good loyal minister and good general, he defended southern Xinjiang for the emperor and Great Qin for eight years, and won the vast lands of Ganyue and Dongou, which can be described as outstanding meritorious service.

It's a pity that the luck is not good, and he was contaminated with the terrible water Gu disease and died in Yuedi.

Feng Wuxue did not return to his hometown until he died, which is really a tragic song of Great Qin.

Now Zhao Tuo has determined Minyue and washed away last year's shame with a big victory, so that the first emperor no longer has any scruples about the defeat of the last time.

At the same time, Zhao Tuo also mentioned in the book that Feng Wuxue's contribution to the past few places. For example, operating Lujiang County, digging Wuyi Mountain Road and so on.

Feng Wuxue's hard work in Yue laid a solid foundation for the Qin army to take Minyue this time.

With Zhao Tuo's performance, the First Emperor remembered Feng Wuxue's various contributions in southern Xinjiang in the past eight years.

In addition, the Feng family is also a big family in the court, and the first emperor thought about it for a while and decided to posthumously promote him.

is not for Feng Wuxue's record in attacking Minyue, but for his eight years of hard work.

Feng Wuxue died, and the title of Marquis of Wuxin could be inherited by his son Feng Jing.

Feng Jing is in his twenties, because his father is a Zhonglang cavalryman.

Now he has transformed into a young Marquis of the Empire, which can be described as endless scenery, and he has reached the peak of his life at a young age.

In this regard, Feng Jing's face did not have much joy.

After he became the Marquis of Wuxin, he belonged to the same title as Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of Wugong.

But the Lunhou of Zhao Tuo, the martial arts marquis, was fought by himself on the battlefield, and as long as someone mentioned it, they all showed admiration and admiration.

"And my title will only be said by the world to be exchanged for my dead father."

Thinking of this, Feng Jing mourned even more.

He could only turn around and continue to invite his friends to immerse themselves in the Qin card table, so as to ease his sad emotions.

Since the First Emperor even gave the title of Feng Wuxue, the main general of the last war, he naturally had a reward for Zhao Tuo, who defeated Minyue this time.

He sealed 1,000 households, gave 500,000 yuan, and rewarded him with all kinds of gold and jade jewels in his house.

Zhao Tuo's wife and children were also summoned to the palace, and the First Emperor praised his son-in-law in front of their mother and son.

What impressed Ying Yinyan the most was probably the words of the First Emperor who didn't know how many times he had said.

"Zhao Tuo's biggest advantage is that he has never disappointed me."

Maybe he felt that the reward for Zhao Tuo was not enough, or maybe he liked his grandson too much.

When the First Emperor watched the well-behaved Zhao Che say the words of congratulations in front of him, his heart moved.

On the grounds of receiving meritorious service from his father, he gave Zhao Che, who was six years old this year, a knight of the fifth rank.

Doctor Zhao Che.

Xiang Ji fought a bloody battle in southern Xinjiang, killing more than 20 people to get the title of no change, and was surpassed by a six-year-old child in the blink of an eye.

Such a reward made the faces of all those who knew about it move slightly.

Don't look at the doctor, he is only a fifth-level title, and he can't be on the table in the twentieth rank of the Qin State.

This is just the beginning.

Once the precedent is opened, it will not stop.

Zhao Tuo is now laying down Minyue, and his son Zhao Che will give him the fifth level.

So what about when he fights Nanyue, Luo Yue and Xiou?

If you can't fight Minyue, you will give Zhao Che a knight, and if you defeat the remaining three Baiyue powers, you won't give Zhao Che a knight.

From this point of view, as long as Zhao Tuo's campaign goes smoothly, and when he finally crosses the land and is completely flat, his son, who is only a few years old, will be able to have a title that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Of course, there are also people like Li Yu and others who are secretly laughing.

"If Zhao Tuo can finish beating Baiyue, he will definitely be able to seal the title of marquis. When Zhao Tuo dies in the future, his title will be passed on to this little child. Therefore, it is meaningless for the emperor to reward this little child with a knighthood. ”

After laughing at the uselessness of Zhao Che's title, Li Yu smiled at his frowning father Li Si again: "No matter how high the title of his father and son is, what about it." When my nephew ascends to the throne in the future, they will not all have to bow down. I, Lee, are the real winners. ”

Hearing this, Li Si nodded.

"That's right, so the key to the future is enlightenment. You need to find more opportunities to visit the prince and build a relationship with the child. By the way, there is also Chen Ping, who was stuffed by Zhao Tuo to the prince's side, this person has some skills, you have to pay more attention. ”

"Chen Ping?"

Li Yu said casually: "It's the black-faced prince who washes the horse, this kid is quite regular when he sees me on weekdays." My father said this, and I will pay more attention to it later. ”

"Hmm."

Li Si shook his head, remembered something again, and said: "By the way, how is your brother doing, I was busy with government affairs during this time, but I forgot about him." ”

Li Yu snorted: "What else, my brother has been refining qi and cultivating immortals all day long, and I heard that he has started to open the valley now." The last time I went to look for him, he didn't see me. ”

"Cultivating immortals...... Bigu ......"

Li Si grinded his teeth angrily.

With his wisdom, he would naturally suspect that cultivating immortals and the like was a delusional fantasy. But the emperor likes it, and he believes in those Fang Shi, so Li Si didn't dare to stand up and fight fakes in this matter.

With his political wisdom, he didn't want to go against the emperor after he was just promoted to prime minister of Zuo.

Li Si could only scold venting: "Zhao Tuo has conquered another country in the south, and what is my Li Si's son doing?" ”

"Rebel, rebel!"

Compared with the joy of the Guanzhong monarchs and ministers for the great victory of the Qin army in the south.

As the Marquis of Wugong conquered Minyue, the news spread that the emperor had set up Minzhong County there.

The Chu people, who are located in the water of Xutai County, Donghai County, look a little unsightly.

"Zhao Tuo is really powerful, those Yue barbarians in the south were taken down by him in a blink of an eye. Minyue won the first battle, and I think the remaining Nanyue, Xiou and Luo Yue may not be able to escape. ”

Jing Ju shook his head in the room and sighed.

Jing Tong nodded tiredly and said in a low voice: "With Zhao Tuo's ability, it should be no obstacle to capture Baiyue." Now that the Qin army has won a hundred battles, its prestige is shocking to the world, and those Qin officials are promoting methods to increase farmland yields, according to my observation, there are few people in Qiantou everywhere who have the heart to oppose Qin anymore, and I am afraid that we can only survive here in this life. ”

"General Jing's words are wrong, before my Xiang clan raised righteousness, there were Fu Liren Ge Ying, and several big clans responded, it can be seen that the people of Chu also have anti-Qin thoughts. The reason why I failed last time was only because Zhao Tuo was there. As long as Zhao Tuo dies, the future of this Qin State is unknown. ”

It was Xiang Sheng who spoke.

He stood up, his voice high, expressing his attitude.

Jing Ju was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head with a smile: "Brother Xiang said this, don't you still expect Xiang Ji to kill Zhao Tuo?" He is a nobody, and he wants to kill the commander of the first army in the army, I don't think it's easy! ”

Xiang Sheng snorted: "Brother Jing, don't say such depressing words. Although Xiang Ji is young, he has divine power and is quite brave, and he is a natural general. When he goes to the battlefield, he will definitely be able to break through his skin like a cone and attract Zhao Tuo's attention, as long as he gives Xiang Ji a chance to get close, he will definitely be able to kill Zhao Tuo, a thief. ”

Zhao Tuo and the Xiang clan have a grudge against the clan.

Xiang Sheng opposed Xiang Ji before, but after Xiang Ji really went south to join the Qin army, he always hoped that Xiang Ji would be able to slash the enemy for Xiang's family.

Others, such as Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Tuo and others, also nodded in agreement.

Xiang Zhuang said: "Brother Ji is a general, he has now entered the Qin army, with his bravery, he should be promoted to the title of doctor." ”

Xiang Tuo shook his head and said, "Doctor, I think it's too small." Maybe my uncle already has the title of duke. As long as you rise a few more titles, you will have a chance to kill Zhao Tuo. ”

"It seems that the death of Zhao Tuo, the evil thief, is not far away!"
