Chapter 127: The World Shakes
Fifteen days later, Xianyang City was empty.
The onlookers had already crowded the roads along the road from the south gate of Xianyang, and a hundred steps outside the city gate, Li Si, Feng Zheng and other ministers lined up neatly, waiting for my return.
On the left side of the city wall is a great notice: Liaodong Victory, and on the right: Grassland Victory.
Seeing the appearance of the Qin Banner and the Black Dragon Banner from a distance, the people of Xianyang were already boiling, and they didn't know who started their heads, "Your Majesty for ten thousand years, Great Qin for ten thousand years!" The shouts of the cries rose higher and higher.
The musicians of Yuefu began to play triumphant Qin in unison, and the high-pitched and festive music was endless.
When I approached, I didn't take a carriage, I rode a horse and walked in the front, followed by Meng Tian on the right, Wu Jian on the left, and then Wang Li, the generals before and after the various departments, partial generals, and so on.
When the people saw me approaching, they were even more fanatical, and their cries were deafening.
All the officials saluted in unison and shouted: "Your Majesty ten thousand years!" Great Qin 10,000 years! ”
At this moment, I realized the feeling of being admired by thousands of people, becoming famous, and fluttering to become immortals, just one word: cool!
I walked up to the high platform that had been built in advance, and looked at the people around me, I am afraid that the entire Xianyang City is here!
It wasn't until half an hour later that the cries gradually subsided under Li Si's constant signals.
This time, I didn't let Li Si do the work for me, I cleared my throat and said loudly: "Subjects of Great Qin, from today onwards, every Qin person in my Great Qin can hold their heads high and say: Great Qin has defeated the Xiongnu!" ”
"Liaodong won a great victory and killed 100,000 enemies, plundered thousands of miles, captured countless cattle, sheep, people and animals, and killed the leaders of Donghu and Beihu! The grassland won a great victory and killed 120,000 enemies, thousands of miles west of Deshui, and 900 miles north and south! The four major tribes of the Xiongnu were wiped out by Great Qin, and two of them were destroyed! The remaining two also fled to the north in a hurry! ”
A deafening cheer suddenly sounded below, as if to shake away the white clouds in the sky.
When the crowd quieted down, I stretched out my hand and beckoned, and immediately two sergeants brought Tou Mandanyu up.
I pointed to the dying Tou Manshan Yu: "Subjects of Great Qin! Do you know who he is? ”
Everyone shook their heads.
"He is the Xiongnu's Shan Yu, the king of the Huns: Touman Shan Yu!"
There was silence below, and the people were stunned, and then a louder shout broke out than just now: "The Qin army is mighty!" Your Majesty is mighty! ”
The Xiongnu have invaded the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and now even their Shan Yu has been arrested, who has made such an immortal contribution that shocks the past and the present?
When I led the hundred officials back to Xianyang Palace, the entire Xianyang City was still in a state of excitement, and the news spread to the four seas of Kyushu at a speed that did not conform to this era at all.
For a moment the world shook.
Old Zhao Land. "The Donghu and Xiongnu, who had been plagued for hundreds of years, were destroyed by the emperor? The emperor of the Qin people is so eloquent, no wonder he dares to release a bold statement: the name of the country is Great Qin, and the people are Qin people, good! As long as he can take us to live a good life, whether he is the king of Zhao or the emperor of Qin, we will obey! ”
Old Swallowland. "The troubles of Rong Di, which has plagued the Great Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, were first Yiqu, then the Xiongnu, and now they are directly letting the Xiongnu flee north and the Hu people are weak, and it is not in vain that Zhou Tianzi sealed such a Qin State. It can also be regarded as the crime of the Qin people to destroy Zhou and Yan......"
The other six old lands were shocked by the current force of Great Qin. If it is said that for the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, they can find countless reasons, what traitors mislead the country, the king is mediocre, etc., the strong soldiers and horses of the Qin State are not the main reason.
But this time they had to admit that defeating the Xiongnu and Hu people was completely suppressed by force. For a while, it deterred many Xiaoxiao who still intended to oppose Qin after four years of recuperation.
Xianyang Palace, Sihai Palace.
After a trick of praising each other and being humble with the ministers in the Xianyang Palace, I called the three Li Si and Meng Tian to the Sihai Palace.
Seeing me smiling, several people were also overjoyed. I glanced at it, but found that the three of them were a little preoccupied.
"What's the matter, Li Xiang, Feng Xiang and Dr. Yu seem to have something on their minds?"
Li Si gritted his teeth, sooner or later, this matter has to be said, if you are disappointed, who will make yourself the right prime minister.
"Back to Your Majesty, there are some problems here, and you need Your Majesty to decide."
"Oh?" I restrained my smile, I am afraid that the things that can make Li Si anxious are a little tricky: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
Li Si arched his hand and said: "First, the minister received a report that a new leader suddenly appeared in Beihu, named Zalut, who not only unified Beihu, but also took advantage of the defeat of the Xiongnu to occupy the entire southern grassland, including the Wolf Court!" ”
"Zarut is moving so fast?" I was a little surprised.
Li Si was stunned: "Your Majesty knows this person?" ”
The people here are all the three princes and generals of Great Qin, I didn't hide it, and I told the story of Zalut, and everyone suddenly realized.
At the end, I frowned slightly and said: "This Zalut has some ability, and it was I who signaled him to occupy the southern grassland, I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect him to have time to get involved in the Hun Wolf Court?" ”
Wu Jian arched his hand: "I think I still have to take more precautions." ”
Wu Jian has stepped down as a general, and when he returns to the army, he will be the right general.
I nodded, if he was allowed to grow unscrupulously, wouldn't I have helped him unify the grasslands? That's a self-digging grave.
"Qi Xuan, you send three secret letters. One letter was sent to Zalut, telling him that no matter what method he used, the Hu people would officially trade with Great Qin in half a year. At the same time, for a maximum of two years, I want the Hu people to completely change their views and attitudes towards Great Qin, and all tribes must be pro-Qin. "Two years is not enough for him to grow strong enough to compete with Great Qin.
"The second letter to Hazhusu under his account, let him ensure that at least half of the Hu people's army is in his own hands, unless he gets my edict or Zarut's decision is contrary to Daqin, he must not oppose Zalut, and he must gain Zalut's trust." Zarut knew that Hazhusu had been sent by me, and even if he wasn't dissatisfied, he would be upset.
"The third letter is given to Feng Youcheng, the guard of Shanggu County, and asked him to pay close attention to Beihu's movements, and immediately report if he finds something wrong." Hazhusu is his man, and he is more comfortable with it when he controls it.
After the arrangements were made, I looked at Lis.
"Feng Xiang said one thing, but what about the other?"
"Back to Your Majesty, second, the officials sent to Donghu have arrived, but although Donghu has arable land, most of them are still swamps. In order to improve their grain production, His Majesty ordered to give them new farming tools, planting methods, etc., and the minister was a little worried, if the Hu people became stronger, ......"
I nodded.
"I've thought about it. So the next thing those officials have to do is to brainwash those Hu people. ”
Feng Zhengqi said: "Your Majesty, what is brainwashing? ”
I smiled: "It's very simple, just like the prison army, the song of the Four Classics, and the banner, Daqin wants to send people to constantly tell those Hu people how good and good Daqin is, and it is their blessing to be annexed by Daqin, and the good days are still to come...... And so on and so forth. ”
