Chapter Ninety-Seven: What's Best?
When Hu Hai went out, everyone dispersed, preparing for the next expedition, Chen Ping silently followed behind Lin Ze, until there was no one around, and then whispered: "Uncle Shi seems to have forgotten to analyze where to go to the border army for Hu Hai Gongzi." ”
Lin Ze motioned for Chen Ping to find a place to sit down with him, and asked with a smile, "Then where do you think you should go?"
"The south is mostly hills and jungles, poor mountains and bad waters, poisonous insects and poisonous miasma, and many monsters, as far as I heard When Hu Hai went out, everyone dispersed, preparing for the next expedition, Chen Ping silently followed behind Lin Ze, until there was no one around, and then whispered: "Uncle Shi seems to have forgotten to analyze where to go to the border army for Hu Hai Gongzi." ”
Lin Ze motioned for Chen Ping to find a place to sit down with him, and asked with a smile, "Then where do you think you should go?"
"The south is mostly hills and jungles, poor mountains and bad waters, poisonous insects and poisonous miasma, and many monsters, according to what I have heard, every year the loss of soldiers in Nanfu, sixty percent of the casualties are caused by the water and soil, and only forty percent are killed by the attacks of demon beasts and the hundred tribes of South Vietnam. ”
"There are many naval battles in the east, and Uncle Shi is afraid that he is not willing to go to sea every day, looking for the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who resist in the vast sea, besides, the soldiers trained in naval battles are of no benefit to the overall situation in the future, and thankless is not Uncle Shi's style. ”
"The northeast is mostly deep mountains and old forests, last year, the major tribes of the female Liao tribe and the Goryeo State have submitted to Daqin, and the Great Qin has concluded a vassal document, and the Goryeo State even the royal daughter has contributed to His Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a war in the short term, and it is useless to go. ”
"The northwest is better, but Wu Chenghou has made great achievements in this life, in the past, the six countries were mostly destroyed in his hands, and then operated the Western Regions for many years, and also destroyed countless countries, and now the hundred countries of the Western Regions are under his deterrence, none of them dare to move at will, fortunately, there are many active horse bandits, who can train soldiers, but the relationship between the Wang family and the uncle is not harmonious, so the northwest is not a good place. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Ping was speechless.
Lin Ze asked undeniably, "So you think the best choice is the north?"
Chen Ping said with certainty: "The best is the north, the northern grassland is fertile for thousands of miles, the territory is vast, the products are abundant, the Meng family has led 300,000 troops, thousands of miles deep, although it has not been able to exterminate the Hu people, but the strength of the Hu people is not as good as before, Gongzi led the troops to the north, both can safely train the troops and harvest cultivation resources, why not?"
"The analysis is correct," Lin Ze first affirmed Chen Ping's analysis, now that Daqin can really say that there is war, there are only the south and the north, if you want to train troops, these two places must be the first choice.
Since the occupation of Chu by Great Qin, except for the Qin Emperor, the government has a lack of interest in the south, without him, the current south is not a highly developed and livable place in later generations, with a humid and hot climate, poisonous miasma and poisonous insects everywhere, it is really not the ideal home of the Great Qin people.
Even the land of Lingnan has become a place of exile for the entire clan of exiled criminal ministers, even if the people of the old Chu do not want to go south after Nanhai County {behind Nanhai County in this world is the land of Baiyue, which is somewhat different from history}.
Lin Ze paused before saying, "You considered all the objective factors, but you didn't consider human nature. ”
Chen Ping looked dazed.
"I hope that Gongzi Hu Hai will be assigned to the south, and there will be some minor problems every once in a while, and then greet Your Majesty every day with illness, and the father-son relationship is deep, tsk. ”
Chen Pingqi said: "Why is this?"
Lin Ze smiled secretly: "Without him, obedient children are certainly pleasing, but crying children have milk to drink." ”
Seeing that Chen Ping seemed to understand something, Lin Ze further explained: "Ordinary people have two brothers, the eldest lives a rich life, and the second child is poor, if you, as an old father, still have surplus wealth in your hands, who will you help?"
Chen Ping was dumbfounded: "Uncle Shi is a little inhumane when he does this." ”
Lin Ze retorted: "Father and son are humane, and besides, you are not Emperor Qin's father and son, how do you know that they are not happy?"
Chen Ping felt that he had fallen into the fork in the road of three views, and he always felt that something was wrong, and he felt that what Uncle Shi said was quite reasonable.
Yangxin Palace, when Hu Hai arrived, Fusu was standing in the hall upright, seeing Hu Hai coming in slowly, waiting for a long time, Fusu couldn't help but be angry, and said coldly: "Brother Hu Hai is so big, my father summoned him, and he dared not come." ”
Hu Hai is not a master to be messed with, and sneered: "Brother is not as good as Brother Fusu, he lives in the deep palace for a long time, and when his father summons him, he can arrive immediately." ”
Fusu exploded all of a sudden, obviously he framed himself, causing him to be grounded for three months, and now he dares to mock himself, clenched his fists, and glared angrily at Hu Hai forward.
Hu Hai took a step back, full of vigilance: "What do you want to do?"
At this time, Emperor Qin couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded angrily: "Enough, why do you still want to stage a good show of fratricidal in front of me?"
Only then did the two brothers salute together to apologize: "The sons don't dare." ”
Emperor Qin snorted coldly: "I recruited the two of you here today to send the two of you to the border army for training, what do you two think?"
Fusu immediately preemptively said: "Erchen is willing to go to the Northern Governor's Mansion and ask his father to fulfill it." ”
Emperor Qin just bowed his head and did not agree directly, but turned to his youngest son: "What about you, Hu Hai?"
Hu Hai immediately said obediently: "It's all up to the father to decide, but the son believes that the father will not let the son suffer." ”
If Lin Ze heard this, his backhand would be a compliment.
Qin Huang scolded with a smile: "You little slippery head. Then he said with a straight face: "Fusu goes to the north, then you go to the south, the two brothers are one south and one north, opening up territory and expanding territory for Daqin, and creating the foundation of eternity." ”
Fusu was relieved when he saw that the dust had settled, for fear that Emperor Qin would let Hu Hai go to the north, but fortunately, before coming, Master Zhou carefully analyzed the interests of the five border military governments in the past for himself, so that he could take the lead in occupying this good place.
Emperor Qin continued to ask, "If you have any other requirements, you can put them forward together." ”
At this time, Hu Hai walked to the front and said: "Back to my father, my sons have some requests, please ask my father for permission." ”
Emperor Qin bowed: "Let's hear it." ”
Hu Hai repeated the four points mentioned by Lin Ze.
Emperor Qin listened carefully before he slowly asked, "What does it mean that the number of troops is not exceeded?"
Hu Hai said with a straight face: "The army is the foundation of the empire, I and Brother Fusu are both first-time generals, lack of experience, if you only know how to recruit troops, but will not lead troops, it will only damage my Great Qin national strength in vain, and disgrace my father." ”
"In the past, Wu Zi, a master of the art of war, said: The soldiers are not more about the fine, and the sons are afraid that they will be in a panic when they are in battle, and the excessive number of troops under them will be more difficult to control, so they will explain it to their father first. ”
Emperor Qin looked at Fusu, whose face was a little gray, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, where did he not know what his youngest son's idea was, and felt that the eldest son had taken advantage, so he immediately responded: "Zhao Gao, draft the holy decree, these requirements are recorded, the two brothers will prepare them equally, and let Xia Wuyi transfer four medical masters from the doctor's family, and Fusu Huhai will each bring two with him in case of accidents." ”
Zhao Gao immediately took the order and left.
Fusu's face changed slightly, and he was about to express his objection, but he remembered Master Zhou's earnest admonition when he was leaving, pressed it down, and saluted with Hu Hai to take the order to retire.
Soon Zhao Gao prepared a few documents, and Emperor Qin looked at them casually, stamped them, and asked the chamberlain to send them to the Tai Hospital and the Taiwei Mansion respectively.
Holy Decree: Fengtian Carrier, the Emperor's Edict said: Today, there are two sons who are dedicated to sharing worries for the country, taking the initiative to join the army around them, opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and now the two sons are awarded the post of lieutenant in the army, leading 5,000 troops, going to the frontier, and properly placing the Taiwei Mansion. Chin this.
The old lady Wei Wei took the will, frowned, and immediately rushed to the palace to meet Emperor Qin: "The matter in the army is not child's play, how can the two sons be in danger as the crown prince? ”
Emperor Qin replied undeniably: "Since the people of the world can send their sons to the frontier, I can naturally do it, Taiwei don't have to persuade me, go and prepare, I have my own arrangements, don't bother." ”
Wei Yu sighed before slowly retreating.
An entourage persuaded: "Your Majesty is arbitrary, and it is obvious that his mind has been decided, why should the captain persuade him again?"
Wei Yu looked at his nephew, who had been with him for many years, and said indifferently: "If I don't do this more, if the two sons of him have an accident, how can you let me, the captain, deal with themselves, and how will the Wei family deal with themselves?"
The entourage suddenly realized.
Hu Hai returned to the Lin Mansion and summoned everyone to officially announce the news, while Lin Ze smiled at Chen Ping.
Hu Hai asked suspiciously: "Lin Ze, why did Fusu choose the north? Is it better to go to the northern border army than to the south?"
Lin Ze said in a very affirmative tone: "Don't worry, Childe, the most suitable for Childe must be the south." ”
