Chapter 513 Going North and Going West

Chapter 528 Going North and Going West

"My lord Zongzheng, why do you need to do this? Lord Zongzheng refused to ask you to do anything. We, the old Qin clansmen, all the glory and power are bestowed by His Majesty, and it is our duty as old Qin clansmen to share your worries for His Majesty. Please don't let us down!" Fang Youcong said earnestly, holding Ying Teng's arm.

Su Mo and Fan Jian next to them also had the same expression on their faces.

However, the more the three of them behaved like this, the more Ying Teng felt that he really couldn't speak.

And Ying Gang next to him just sat there like a stone without any words.

"Your Majesty wants to take the lives of three of us?" Su Mo asked upon seeing this.

"No, no, no. The three lords are His Majesty's confidants and important ministers. How could Your Majesty want to take the lives of the three lords? There is absolutely no such thing, there is absolutely no such thing!" Ying Teng waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this.

"It's not about taking the lives of the three of us, what else can make old Zongzheng so difficult?" Fan Jian interjected.

"This..." Ying Teng continued to hesitate.

"Master Zongzheng, please speak clearly!" Su Mo, Fan Jian, and Fang Youcong all bowed to the ground and said together.

"Hey, three adults, get up quickly, get up quickly." Seeing that the fire was coming, Ying Teng stretched out his hand to support Su Mo and the three of them.

"Actually, His Majesty wants each of the three families to accept a woman for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"what?"

Ying Teng's words made Su Mo, Fan Jian, and Fang Youcong exclaim in unison.

But after exclaiming, the three of them immediately realized that this is a good thing.

Ying Zheng now made it clear that he was paving the way for Ying Gang, and only then did he make a series of adjustments.The purpose is to make their foundation more stable after Yingzheng for a hundred years.

Only then did they understand why Ying Gang was silent by the side.

Ying Gang has no other concubines except the crown princess Li Jey and side concubine Yu Ji.If women from the three mansions can enter the mansion, then what a blessing it would be for the three mansions and the nobles of the old Qin family.

However, the ecstasy in the hearts of Su Mo, Fan Jian, and Fang Youcong only lasted for a moment.

Because, after Ying Teng said that the emperor wanted to accept a concubine for the crown prince, the three of them began to wonder whether there was a woman of the right age among their first relatives who could have such a blessing, but the result shocked the three of them.

There were no women of the right age in the Su family, so Su Mo was the first to turn from ecstasy to disappointment.

Having a daughter in the mansion who becomes a prince or concubine may allow a family to continue to grow in the future. As long as there is such an opportunity, any family will not hesitate to go bankrupt.

The reason why the Li family is so huge is because of the constant and chaotic relationship between Li Si and Ying Zheng and his son.

If their daughter can become Ying Gang's darling, how can they not strengthen their family in the future.

Although Su Mo had automatically filtered his Su Mansion in his heart, he immediately put away the disappointment in his heart.Fortunately, there are other two prefectures, right?As the old Qin family, the three houses have always been in the same spirit.It would be a huge opportunity for the old Qin family if someone from any government could enter the emperor's harem.

However, Su Mo soon noticed something strange on the faces of Fan Jian and Fang Youcong.

The situation seems to be different from what I thought.

Don't the other two prefectures have any legitimate daughters of the right age?

Su Mo really guessed right. All the legitimate daughters of the Fan and Fang residences have already married as wives, and even the daughters of concubines have already married to various old Qin families in Guanzhong for marriage purposes.

There is no real daughter of the right age who is still in the boudoir.

Now it will be difficult.

There is no direct line, should we use collateral?

Let's not talk about whether this match is reasonable or not. If the woman selected in the future is indeed loved by Ying Gang, if she gives birth to a son, if this son becomes the next Prince of Qin, wouldn't it encourage the collateral by then? strength?

Seeing that they didn't answer immediately, Ying Gang said helplessly in his heart: "It's getting late tonight, the three of you should go back and think about it first."

Fanghan County is the westernmost county seat of Longxi County, and it is also the most remote county seat in the northwest of Great Qin Dynasty.Ever since the Great Qin drove Quan Rong from the north to establish Longxi County, this place has become the territory of the Great Qin, and it has a history of more than two hundred years.

Strictly speaking, the people in the vicinity of Fanghan are not all the old Qin people who migrated from Guanzhong, and a considerable part of them also have the blood of the Quanrong and Qiang people.

After more than [-] years of mixed living, these people have all considered themselves Qin people, abandoned the nomadic life of the Quan Rong and Qiang tribes who lived by water and grass, and learned to farm and weave.

Now the construction of Beihai County has begun. As the highest military and political officer in Liaodong, Meng Tian ordered Li Xin to lead the Liaodong Army and Jiuyuan Army, as well as the Xiongnu and Donghu surrendered soldiers to start building some small cities outside the Great Wall.

And these two new cities, which are more than ten miles east and west on both sides of the Great Wall, each covering an area of ​​more than ten mu, are the fruits of the labor of these more than [-] Hu people.

These two acropolis are said to be cities, but they are actually two completely militarized fortresses.There are no common people or dwellings in the two acropolis at all. Apart from the Jiuyuan army, the people living in the two acropolis are a large number of various treasuries.

Building a fort is also one of Ying Gang's plans.

From the county town of Beihai County, there is still a long distance between the Langjuxu Mountain of the Huns and the Great Wall. If there is no protection in the middle, even if they build a city on the Langjuxu Mountain, it will only be used as a wedding dress for the Huns.

Because of this consideration, Ying Gang proposed a plan to build fortresses along the Great Wall to Langjuxu Mountain.

The fortress does not need to be too large, but it must be strong enough to resist the Huns' attacks and serve as a material transportation site.

If Daqin continues to go north in the future, Liaodong, which is connected through the Xianyang Straight Road, will obviously be the best rear.All supplies, food, grass and luggage, including merchants, will be sent from Liaodong to Beihai County in the north along the fortresses along the way.

The purpose of Fanghan is to build a road from Fanghan to the Hexi Corridor after the army wiped out all the Qiang and Yuezhi barbarian tribes in the Hexi Corridor.

In the not-too-distant future, Fanghan, like the Liaodong Fortress, will become a transportation hub connecting Daqin to the Western Regions.It will also be the military center and material distribution center of Daqin.

In the bitter cold place in the northwest, there is not much time suitable for mobilizing troops.Now is the right time, and besides some nomadic Qiang and Yuezhi tribes in the Hexi Corridor today, there is basically no organized regular army that can pose a threat to the well-equipped Qin army.

Therefore, Ying Zheng gave Xin Sheng and Weng Zhong enough time to quickly open up the Hexi Corridor, push Qin's territory to the Dunhuang area, and establish a bridgehead for Qin to attack the world there.

It is naturally impossible for the Qiang people to ignore Qin's big move.

Because of the previous losses, the Qiang people gathered their troops at this moment and vowed to avenge their shame.

And Yingzheng had already made arrangements in the Western Regions, with Xin Sheng leading the [-] Longxi Army to sit in the town, and at the same time there were many looting armies composed of hundreds of noble families and wealthy households in Guanzhong who arrived in Longxi.

The main force of the Qiang people was defeated by the Qin army, and the rest were dealt with by the looting army composed of rich households. This was Yingzheng's arrangement.
