Chapter 142: Prepare!
However, looking at this note from Jiuyuan County, the First Emperor couldn't help frowning slightly.
Today, the Yue clan occupies the Hexi Corridor, blocking the communication between Great Qin and the Western Regions, while the increasingly powerful Xiongnu occupy the vast Mobei grasslands.
In order to maintain the stability of the border and defend against the intrusion of these steppe peoples, he not only conscripted labor, but also connected the Great Wall that originally belonged to the Qin, Zhao, and Yan kingdoms, and then sent heavy troops to guard it.
But even so, there is no way to completely eliminate the troubles.
"Damn!"
Thinking of this, the First Emperor couldn't help but curse angrily, and then shook his hand and handed Su Jiao's recital to Zhao Ying on the side.
"If the Huns are not removed, sooner or later they will become a big trouble for my Daqin......"
The First Emperor's tone was a little heavy.
"It's just that they live by water and have no fixed place, so it is difficult to completely exterminate them, not to mention, it is not appropriate for my Great Qin to launch a protracted war now......"
Today's Great Qin is no longer a Qin country that lives in seclusion.
It is a huge empire with a vast territory and a land that runs through the north and south, so the originally powerful elite of Great Qin is already a little stretched under the distribution of garrisons in various places.
Lingnan alone was divided into more than 500,000 main forces.
The border of the land of Yan and Zhao in the past has now become Daqin's own border, and it is difficult for the troops not to be nervous.
"Otherwise, how can I tolerate Rong Di offending my Great Qin! After a while, I will wave my army to the north, and let them taste the power of my Great Qin Iron Cavalry......"
Zhao Ying listened to the words of the First Emperor's unwillingness, and suddenly his heart moved, and his expression was awe-inspiring.
"Father, why wait later? Those who offend my Great Qin will be punished even if they are far away! Please give me 10,000 soldiers and horses, I am willing to immediately carry it, sweep Mobei, and give them a profound lesson! ”
Looking at the heroic Zhao Ying, who got up to fight, a smile of relief flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor.
This kid is really like himself when he was young.
There is never a word of fear in the eyes.
"A good offender of my Great Qin, although he will be punished from afar, the eldest father knows your ambition, but now the snow is difficult to walk, even if you want to teach the Huns a lesson, you have to wait a little longer......"
The First Emperor smiled and waved his hand.
This kid, who is proficient in the art of war, must know that this is not a good time to start a war with the Huns, probably amusing him again, but even if he understands it in his heart, he is still willing to explain.
"Father, I'm worried that the snow won't be able to walk—"
Zhao Ying glanced at the first emperor's childlike expression, and couldn't help laughing.
"I have a way to make the army walk like a fly on the snow! As long as the eldest father allocates 10,000 elites to me, I will immediately go north and let them know that I know how powerful I offended Daqin! ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying said with a serious face.
"Father, even at this time, it is not appropriate to fight a decisive battle with the Huns, but we must also beat them up and be afraid, otherwise there will be no peace on the border of Daqin!"
Hearing this, the First Emperor turned his head in some surprise and looked at Zhao Ying.
"Is that true?"
Zhao Ying nodded solemnly.
Seeing this, the First Emperor hesitated a little in his eyes.
If Li Xin, a young man in the past, assured him like this, he would naturally be happy in his heart, and he would not hesitate to give his full support directly. But now the one who said this was the eldest grandson of the emperor whom he valued the most, the future heir of Great Qin.
He suddenly had some difficulty deciding.
It's not that he is indecisive, but he doesn't dare to gamble, the soldiers on the battlefield are fierce and dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death, and he can't afford to gamble.
After a moment of silence, he waved his hand.
"Let's discuss this later, didn't you say that there was a way to walk on the snow like flying? When you can walk like flying, come back to me! ”
Zhao Ying: ......
But he has been with the First Emperor for so long, so he naturally knows the temper of the First Emperor, since he has said so, before he sees the results, even if he is stalking now, it is useless.
Therefore, Zhao Ying was no longer entangled, but took out the Daqin version of "Changing the Land and Returning to the Stream" that he had worked overtime last night from his arms.
"Father, I have some ideas about governing Lingnan recently, you can take a look at ......"
The First Emperor looked at him with some surprise and took it casually.
"Okay—"
Just as he was about to say something more, the guards outside suddenly came to pay tribute.
"Your Majesty, the right minister Feng Quji, the left minister Li Si, and the Shaofu Shi Lu have come together and are waiting outside the main hall ......"
The First Emperor took advantage of the situation to put away the measures handed over by Zhao Ying about changing the land and returning to the stream, and said in a deep voice.
"Invite them in—"
Seeing this, Zhao Ying took the opportunity to get up and say goodbye.
……
Out of Zhangtai Palace.
Zhao Ying stood at the gate of the palace and hesitated slightly, rode his Dawan horse, and turned his head to go to Jiangshan Shejisi. Under the operation of Zhao Ying, the entire front hall of Afang Palace has become the office location of the Jiangshan Sheji Division.
The Jiangshan Sheji Department occupies the main hall in the middle, and the Ministry of Rites occupies a house in the back.
It can be regarded as not disturbing each other.
When I walked to the Jiangshan Society, what I saw was still a busy scene, consulting information, comparing the terrain, adjusting the size, and repeatedly revising it inch by inch.
A pair of sand tables about the Hexi Corridor have basically taken shape.
"Your Highness—"
Zhao Ying is now more than two meters tall, mighty and tall, and everywhere he goes, he gives people an extremely strong sense of oppression, and it is difficult not to attract the attention of others. Therefore, as soon as he entered the main hall, he attracted the attention of many people.
They all stopped what they were doing and bowed.
"Excuse me, everyone's hard work—"
Zhao Ying smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be polite, and everyone returned to their original tense and busy rhythm. After getting along for a long time, everyone naturally understands the temperament of this emperor's eldest grandson.
He is not interested in those vain etiquette, and you don't have to go out of your way to please him, as long as you do the work in your hands well, it is difficult not to get the praise and reward of His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson.
"Your Highness, do you know that you're coming—"
Seeing Zhao Ying walk in, the girl Wei Weiyang, whose face was haggard and her round chin had become a little sharp, couldn't help but glance at him prettyly. At the beginning, in order to give himself the opportunity to contact the eldest grandson of the emperor, the eldest father sent himself here to be his deputy.
Who would have thought that this master directly handed over all the work to himself, and he himself became the big shopkeeper!
Don't go too far-
Zhao Ying, who knew that he was a little wrong, couldn't help but smile.
"Miss Weiyang has worked hard—"
As he spoke, he was already secretly wondering in his heart whether he would have to bring a little gift to the girl next time he came. This tool man is so dedicated, and even he looks at it himself and is almost a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the Weiyang girl's attention quickly shifted to the sand table she had just completed.
"Your Highness, you see, our map of the rivers and mountains in the Hexi Corridor has been basically completed......
Speaking of this, Miss Wei Weiyang's eyes lit up a little.
"Although we can't guarantee a one-to-one restoration, according to the news that has been coming from there during this time, all the major road checkpoints, cliffs and valleys, are basically correct."
Speaking of this, Wei Weiyang's tone suddenly became a little low, and even his eyes were a little gloomy.
"In order to get this information, we sacrificed a total of more than 170 elite ......."
After Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but be silent for a long time.
In this era when there are no satellites and aerial photography, there is almost no other way to get this information out under the supervision of the Yueshi and the Xiongnu, except to fill in with human lives.
He had expected in advance that this matter might not be easy, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
In just a few months, hundreds of people have been lost to it.
It can even be said that every inch of this map of the country is exchanged for human life!
"Rest assured, girl, the brothers' sacrifices will not be in vain—"
Zhao Ying sighed.
"Their parents, wives and children, I will take good care of them—"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying thought about it.
"All the brothers who sacrificed, promoted to the first rank, the bereavement pension was tripled, ten acres of land were appreciated, one of the children could be drawn out, the school room, those who had no children, could be extended to the brothers and relatives, and those who had children who were not yet minors were borne by the eldest son's mansion to bear all the upbringing costs......"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity—"
Wei Weiyang stood up and solemnly bowed to Zhao Ying, and Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel dumb in his heart.
These rewards seemed insignificant to him, but there was only so much he could do. There are no rules, there is no square circle, and what you are facing is not only them, but also more and more people.
Even these, many of them are subsidized by themselves in the name of the eldest prince's mansion.
Zhao Ying looked carefully at this completed map of the country.
"Backup ...... available"
"No, but I already have a finished product, and if I want to make a copy, it's not difficult - if Childe wants it, I'll order them to go down and let them do it immediately......"
I don't know if it was because Zhao Ying's performance just now made this Weiyang girl more satisfied, and the Weiyang girl spoke much more enthusiastically than just now.
Zhao Ying smiled and arched his hand.
"Then thank you Miss Weiyang - but, in this case, you give me a few competent men, and I will take them to the barracks to do it, so that it will not be difficult to carry it after it is done......"
When the girl heard this, she couldn't help but glance at him angrily.
Still, he nodded very dryly.
"Good!"
For this ingenious, intelligent and beautiful girl, Zhao Ying couldn't use it up and leave, and said a few words of greeting. Later, when I saw Wei Weiyang, he had to reach out and rub his shoulders and back from time to time, and he couldn't help but move in his heart.
stayed and personally taught her Tai Chi.
Since he himself found out that Taijiquan seemed to be a little different from his previous life in this world, he paid more and more attention to this set of boxing techniques, and he never taught anyone else easily except for the original First Emperor and Wei Yizi.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Wei Weiyang is the fourth person in the world who can do tai chi.
It is worth mentioning that compared with the First Emperor and Wei Yuzi, it is much easier for Wei Weiyang to learn this, no way, the girl will never forget it. In addition, it is a family history, and some of the foundation of learning martial arts, Zhao Ying just fought once, and people already played decently.
"Miss Weiyang, you call several times a day-"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying hesitated slightly and added.
"If there is anything different, such as in the meridians, is there any unusual feeling - if so, please remember to tell me......"
The girl from Weiyang glanced at him a little puzzled, a little unsure of what Zhao Ying meant, but still nodded slightly.
After Zhao Ying finished explaining, he didn't stay longer, and directly took a few helpers assigned by Wei Weiyang and set off to the recruit camp.
It is now January of the 36th year of the First Emperor, and according to the original historical trajectory, the First Emperor will set off to tour the world again in July this year, and there is not much time left for him.
Now he seems to have infinite scenery, but Zhao Ying knows in his heart that everything in front of him is based on his favorability of the First Emperor, and is based on the First Emperor's favor for him.
Then you have to get out!
So, either the Hexi Corridor, or the Mobei Xiongnu!
This is a plan that Zhao Ying has done a long time ago.
This is an era of military merit and prestige. In the case that his age is not advantageous, the only thing left is military merit. Originally, he was worried that he had no excuse to open his mouth to the First Emperor, but he never expected that under a heavy snowfall after the beginning of spring, the Xiongnu would take the initiative to harass the border again.
It's like someone gives you a pillow if you want to sleep!
The considerate self can't bear to beat them.
When he arrived at the recruit camp, he heard that the people brought by Zhao Ying were to help build the map of the rivers and mountains in the Hexi Corridor, Li Xin couldn't help but raise his head suddenly, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, these days, Han Xin, who has been squatting in front of the sand table of the Chinese army's big tent to study, couldn't help but light up his eyes, and secretly clenched his fists.
It's time for a husband to make a contribution!
Only Wang Li, Tie Hanhan, paid attention to the sand table of the Hexi Corridor that Zhao Ying said, and with an excited face, he came to the front of several officials brought by Zhao Ying from the Jiangshan Sheji Division, and urged him repeatedly.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, do it, General Ben has been looking forward to it for a long time - haha......"
After arranging these meetings, Zhao Ying and Li Xin got up again and went to the newly established scout camp to take a look.
Now, the chief swordsmanship instructor Xi Gai Nie and the former captain of the Black Ice Terrace Xiong have become the specialized instructors of these two newly established scouts. Staring at the training around the clock, the intensity was so great that even these already extremely outstanding Chen Sheng and disciples were a little struggling.
After all, this training plan was formulated by Zhao Ying together with Li Xin, Gai Nie, Yu and Xiong and others, and it was also mixed with some superficial training rumors related to special forces that Zhao Ying obtained from later generations.
For example, physical training, volitional training, camouflage lurking, etc.
In Zhao Ying's plan, the positioning of the two scouts is the ancient scouts and special forces.
In the future, it must not only take on the role of inquiring about news and spying on military intelligence, but even at critical times, it must also be able to play the role of beheading.
At this time, inside the scout camp that had been isolated separately, a cold light was flickering. More than two hundred people, under Gai Nie's stern gaze, each holding a strange weapon similar to a short sword, sweating like rain, practiced a set of strange and ruthless swordsmanship.
"How many times have you said that you have to raise your elbows and turn sideways!"
Gai Nie said, swinging his sword scabbard and slamming it on Chen Sheng's back without mercy.
