Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 500 Why Build a City

Chapter 515 Why Build a City

The recruitment of one hundred thousand elites from the Eastern Hu to form the Pingyi Army was not entrusted to Hu Zhong to guard the Beihai County where the wolf lives in Xushan, as many courtiers in the Great Qin Dynasty thought.

Hu Zhong has to rely on the remaining hundreds of thousands of Donghu people to defend themselves. Of course, Ying Zheng will definitely provide assistance, which is a later story.

The main purpose of the establishment of the Pingyi Army was to deal with the Dongyi ethnic groups occupying the vast land east of the Greater Khingan Mountains, Heilongjiang, Songhua River, and Wusuli River.

It is impossible for Yingzheng to let the elites of Great Qin travel thousands of miles into such a sparsely populated place to deal with the Dongyi tribes who have gone deep into the mountains and old forests and can no longer be found.

The Donghu clan, who have adapted to the climate in the Northeast, is obviously the best candidate to deal with these Dongyi aliens.

After a group of ministers shouted, Ying Zheng appeared above the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

"Order Pingyi Xiaowei to lead one hundred thousand Pingyi troops to live in Beihai County. Liaodong General Li Xin leads the Liaodong Army as a backup."

When they heard about the establishment of the Pingyi Army, all the ministers of the Great Qin knew that the Pingyi Army would be as elite as the Bashang battalion, and they would be cavalry.

No one expected that Li Xin, who had gradually moved away from the center of the Great Qin after his defeat in the Battle of Chu, would be rejuvenated at this moment.Although the Pingyi army was recruited from Donghu people, everyone knew that since the emperor sent Yinggang to Beihai County, whoever could assist him would inevitably become a future minister.

Many people thought that this position would belong to Meng Tian, ​​but they didn't expect Li Xin to be the one who got it.

"Old minister, thank you His Majesty the Emperor!"

The officials were still in shock, but Li Xin, who had come to his senses, fell to the ground devoutly and sobbed.

In the past, Li Xin was ambitious at a young age, and he was even more highly valued by the First Emperor than Meng Tian.In the battle to destroy Chu, only 20 remnants of the [-] Qin army were defeated, and Li Xin was actually the one who suffered the most.

For more than ten years, Li Xin has been living in frustration and self-blame.Losing the trust of the first emperor made Li Xin completely fade out of the center of the Great Qin Dynasty. Li Xin, who was in charge of the 20 Longxi Army in his twenties, is only in his forties now, but his appearance is even better than that of Meng Tian, ​​who is more than ten years older than him. Looks even older.

Li Xin is very clear that there are many people in the Great Qin Army who are more suitable than him, not to mention the Meng family and the Wang family who are deeply rooted in the army, Feng Jie, Han Xin, etc., are more suitable than him, the former defeated general. More suitable.

However, the emperor still chose him.

This kind of trust is what Li Xin needs most at this moment.

Li Xin has some understanding of the situation in the Northeast. A newly established county does not need to think about the difficulties it will face, not to mention that the Great Qin has never set foot there in the previous hundreds of years.

"Let's get back together. I believe in Aiqing, even if I think about it, Aiqing will not disappoint me."

"The old minister is willing to die for His Majesty!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and Li Xin stood up wiping away his tears.

"Your Majesty, the newly established county is thousands of miles away from our Great Qin Dynasty. It is all a barren land with few people. I hope Your Majesty will think twice. Moreover, Beihai County will build several cities according to His Majesty's edict. Where did it come from? If the people of Daqin are recruited and travel thousands of miles to build the city, let alone how much it will cost, the initial decision will be made today, and the people will feel at ease. If the people are recruited, it may cause people's resentment."

When Li Xin withdrew, Dunwei was the first to come out.

Yingzheng also discussed with Feng Quji and Feng Jie about the establishment of new counties and counties and the construction of cities. Of course, this discussion was just that Yingzheng asked Daqin about the current state treasury and whether the construction of cities and counties could support it.

Their answers can be imagined with their toes.

But now Daqin really has a lot of granaries and enough food. Just one place in Aocang makes Daqin not have to worry about food problems for at least ten years.

Construction needs to be done, and recuperation needs to be done, but it cannot be established under the condition that swords and guns are put into Kuma and released to Nanshan.

Training soldiers is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.Although the war seems to have subsided at the moment, the spies outside the customs have sent news that the countries in Shandong are planning to deal with them again.

Under such circumstances, Qin State spent so much money to build cities in that barren land, wouldn't it be a way to create chaos.

The main hall of Xianyang Palace was completely silent.

It's enough if you don't speak for a while, and if you speak, all the officials in the main hall of Xianyang Palace will be silent.

Because Dunwei was directly opposing the emperor's edict that had just issued an edict to the world for no more than an hour.Those who want to object at a high position are already weak and will not stand out; those with a low position really don't have the courage to stand out.

"Hehe, is there anyone who Ai Qing thinks my matter is inappropriate?"

Ying Zheng smiled, walked down the high jade steps slowly, stopped in front of the huge map, and said loudly.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Dun Ruo didn't take the ministers' silence at all, stepped forward and said loudly again.

You can hear a needle drop in the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

Sitting among the courtiers in the palace, Hu Zhong was the first to see the powerful court meeting of the Great Qin Empire, and the first time to see such a magnificent palace like a heavenly palace.

What made him even more awed was the majesty of the Great Qin Emperor, who seemed to be much younger than his youngest son, in the palace full of civil and military affairs.

One thought can break the life and death of ten thousand people, one thought can turn a grass chicken into a phoenix.

"Well, since all my loves have no objections, I'll explain it to you. Come on, my love, come forward." Ying Zheng had expected such a scene a long time ago, and he was able to speak decisively and People who can be admonishing ministers are very good in China's thousands of years of history.

It is rare that there is still one Daqin today.

Dunwei was not pretentious, and walked behind Ying Zheng, bowed and said nothing.

"This is the Daqin map that my son Yinggang spent three days making. Can Aiqing see the difference?" Ying Zheng rubbed his chin, stared at the map and said without looking back.

To be honest, Ying Zheng was very satisfied with this map, at least for now.

Dunwei glanced at the map, bowed and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, there is one more county."

"anything else?"

"Return to Your Majesty, forgive me for my clumsy eyes."

"..." The smile on Ying Zheng's face froze.

"Well, Dun Aiqing is getting old, I can understand." Ying Zheng laughed dryly, reached out to take the Tianwen Sword from his waist, held it in his hand, and waved it at Fang Qiu on the huge map.

"This is the territory of the Qiang people and the Yue clan. This is the Langjuxu Mountain. Well, this is the Xiliao River. This is the Hulun Buir Lake. From here to the blue area is the sea. Ai Qing can see that this vast place What?"

"Return to Your Majesty, these places are thousands of miles away from Guanzhong, and more than ten thousand miles away!"

"..."

"The people of Donghu belonged to Daqin, what did Aiqing, the territory of Donghu, think what to do?" Ying Zheng took a deep breath, and controlled himself not to let the sword in his hand accidentally hit Dunwei's head.

But he didn't know that the officials in the palace were startled when they saw Ying Zheng unfasten the long sword in his waist. They were afraid that Ying Zheng would draw his sword in the main hall of Xianyang Palace and cut off Dunwei.

"Return to Your Majesty, just continue to let the Donghu people graze and raise horses, why build a city?" Dun weak looked at Ying Zheng like an idiot and asked back.

"You..." Ying Zheng was impatient.
