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

Chapter 542 Battle of the Western Regions
Chapter 558 Battle of the Western Regions
Ying Gang didn't have a big idea. The Longxi Army in Bijia City would inevitably suffer some losses, but this incident also gave Daqin an excuse.

An excuse for marching into the Western Regions to take down the Western Regions, which is justifiable.

But what Ying Gang was thinking about was what kind of governance policy Qin should implement for these countries in the Western Regions.

In the end, like the Han Dynasty, should they continue to retain the original rule of the kings of the small countries in the Western Regions and use the method of garrisoning to rule in name, or should they directly destroy the royal family and directly merge into the Great Qin, and set up the county and county institutions of the Great Qin.

From the bottom of my heart, Ying Gang is more inclined to the latter.But killing is not the solution.Ying Gang didn't want to make the people of the Western Regions hostile to Daqin because of killing these royal families, or leave Daqin with a chaotic mess in the Western Regions.

After all, the countries in the Western Regions are too far away from the central land of the Great Qin, and it will take a long time to reach them at the speed of cavalry.

Rebellion is not terrible, what is terrible is the army needed to quell the rebellion and the supplies needed by the army. The long supply line may not be able to shake the foundation of Daqin for a while, but the hatred will only become deeper and deeper in the long run, and eventually it will evolve into a city buried in the northwest of Daqin The ticking time bomb of the frontier.

Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, rebellion again.So repeatedly, what is the purpose of Daqin's occupation of the Western Regions?

Moreover, when Qin State was strong, such a tug-of-war did not matter. If there were internal problems, such a tug-of-war would definitely drag down Qin State.

Fortunately, the Bijia City incident this time can be regarded as an excuse for Ying Gang to enter the Western Regions for liquidation in the future.

"Veteran, please lead the army westward in the name of our great Qin prestige! Your Majesty please allow me!"

Now that they figured out the possible attacker, the hearts of all the officials immediately became alive.Therefore, Feng Quji, who was the head of the Shangshu Province, took the lead to stand up.

As soon as Feng Qu spoke out, most of the dozen or so important ministers who controlled the power of the Great Qin Center all spoke in favor of it.

Of course, what they were in favor of was that the imperial court sent troops to punish those ignorant Qiang people and small countries in the Western Regions, rather than Feng Quji personally leading troops to the Western Regions.

In terms of emotion and reason, the matter of leading the army is not up to Feng Quji, the boss who is still Shangshu Zuopushe.

Meng Yi, Ying Teng, Li You, Dun Ruo and several ministers did not speak.

Most of them are still trying to figure out Ying Zheng's attitude.

Everyone knows that the emperor has completely and firmly controlled all the power in his own hands through repeated exchanges and reforms.

Both the six departments of the three provinces and Li Si have proved this fact from the side.

Hearing Feng Quji's words, Ying Zheng smiled noncommittal.

"Your Majesty, if the countries in the Western Regions are really as big as our Daqin county as reported in the letter, even the coalition forces of the various countries will surely be no match for our Daqin elite soldiers. Lintao now has [-] Longxi elite soldiers stationed, why should we deal with such a small country? Mr. Feng personally leads the army. Moreover, Hexi is far away from our Daqin. If we dispatch a large army, it will cost a lot of supplies and supplies for thousands of miles. How can we use a bull's knife to kill chickens? I think that for the current plan, we can order [-] Longxi troops to march westward. I am a big Qin Weifeng."

This time it was Meng Yi who spoke.

"The old minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

After Meng Yi finished speaking, Ying Teng, Dun Rui, Su Mo, Fan Jian and others all spoke in agreement.

"Does the Household Department have food to support this war?" Ying Zheng nodded when he heard Wei Liao's words, but looked at Li You, the Minister of the Household Department in the main hall.

"Returning to Your Majesty, except for Bashang Cang, Liyang Cang, Xianyang Cang in Neishi County, and Chenliu Cang in Dang County, the grain storage is less than [-]%; the grain storage in Chengdu in Shu County is [-]%; the remaining seven warehouses are all stored in the warehouse. More than [-]%." Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Li You hurriedly got up and bowed in response.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Households, the Twelve Great Official Storehouses of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Shangfang Mansion, the Shaofu Mansion, and the warehouses of various counties and counties are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, which is supervised and managed by the Ministry of Households.

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, looked at the people present and said, "This time we attack the Western Regions, we want to destroy them all in one battle, so that our Daqin can expand thousands of miles."

Feng Jie swallowed his saliva, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, think twice!" All the officials in the palace bowed and admonished.

Ying Gang had already anticipated the reaction of the officials in the court, which is why he had been silent before and did not speak out what he wanted in his heart.

Although I have instilled Daqin's plan in them many times, many courtiers are still somewhat puzzled by this plan.

After all, in this era, even the Daqin elites who stand at the forefront of the times probably have the same idea. Daqin is already vast enough, and they are a bit busy now.There is no need at all, is it?

It would be unreasonable to say that the Qiang people did not attack on their own initiative.But the vast Western Regions are nothing but a barbarian land, so why would they waste money and money to fight there?

Although the advice was given, all the ministers were a little uneasy.Today, the emperor was able to suddenly say what he wanted to say from the bottom of his heart, which was a blessing to the ministers. However, this thought was really difficult for the ministers to accept.That's why they all joined in admonishing.

If the emperor is really determined to go on an expedition, then for the ministers, the end of the arm cannot twist the emperor's thigh.

Meng Yi looked at these colleagues around him a little puzzled. If Daqin could really bring the vast land into its territory, which one of the officials would not be the hero who opened up the territory and left his name forever?

But why do they have to stop it?

Seeing that both sides fell into silence, Ying just knew that it would be a bad idea if he didn't stand up at this time, sighed lightly, looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone is worrying too much, my father naturally has a lot of plans, my father didn't say anything It’s not right to work on an expedition now, what my Great Qin wants is the foundation of the eternal world, not the dynasty of the first generation.”

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and Ying Gang continued to add: "Don't think that all these places are barren lands. I have told you before that our Daqin is rich in products, but the products in other places are not weaker than mine. Da Qin. These places store countless gold and silver mines, countless copper and iron, and countless slaves. I, Da Qin, will not only conquer these places, but also make these places the land of my Da Qin forever."

After finishing speaking, Ying just sat down again, and Ying Zheng looked at the many courtiers in front of him and continued: "Isn't there still my son for the things that I can't accomplish in this life? Isn't there still my grandson if my son can't accomplish it?" Going on from generation to generation, I believe that my Great Qin will eventually take over the five continents and unify the four seas and all nations. The task is heavy and the road is long, and I hope that you can work hard with me. But the ugly words are ahead, when the hegemony is not achieved, anyone who dares to If you block my way, I will not be soft."

Ying Zheng explained with a smile, but the last sentence was a subtle reminder.

With Luowang and Heibingtai as eyes and ears, Yingzheng's control over Guanzhong has reached an extremely terrifying level. Basically, any trouble can escape the eyes and ears of Luowang and Heibingtai.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard what Ying Zheng said.

As long as we don't have to go on an expedition now, that's fine.
