Daqin: Reign in the world

Han Xin smiled bitterly, how could he ask someone to help, and said it so righteously?

But this matter is indeed mutually beneficial. For Han Xin, there is no need to enter the army, as long as he waits here, there will be a steady stream of prisoners sent over.

Moreover, with the two armies of Yuping and Baiwu ahead, the Mauryan Dynasty is unlikely to bypass and attack Nale City.

From the map, the location of Nale City is in the northeastern corner of the Mauryan Dynasty. Very narrow place.

The stationing of the Lingnan army here is equivalent to directly connecting Lingnan and Yunnan. The significance is very significant.

For Bai Wu, there is no need to divide the troops, it is possible to have a stable rear. The heart is also very comfortable.

This time, luck finally came to the side.

During the period of time in Nale City, Bai Wu built many crossbows and small catapults. The army set out and brought these heavy equipment with them.

Down the coast.

The next target will be a major town of the Mauryan Dynasty, Sobunti.

Here, the Mauryan Dynasty garrisoned an army of 100,000 people. And outside each wall, eight slides were built. When an enemy siege encounters a city, large stone balls can be pushed out of the slide.

Powerful and irresistible!

After Han Xin sent away Bai Wu’s army, he left a deputy general to garrison the small city of Nale.

He himself took a thousand prisoners of war and returned to Krati.

Here in Kradi, Han Xin has put a lot of effort. Even his teacher, Li Zuoche, took him over to sit in town.

In order to dig this hundred miles of canal, Han Xin built a city in Krati.

A small amount of land was cleared outside the city, and the main energy was still invested in digging canals.

Local tribes also rose up to resist. But helplessly, he was beaten by Han Xin.

Han Xin, as a victor, asked them to contribute labor to help dig the canal. Moreover, they will be paid for their wages.

Han Xin’s purpose was to educate the locals.

On the newly cultivated land outside the city, rice is not grown, but quick-ripening vegetables are chosen.

There are vegetables, fish, and utensils in the city, which slowly attract the surrounding primitive tribes. For them, a good tool is more important than anything else.

Everything is fine, it’s just that the speed of the canal digging, too slow.

This time, as soon as Han Xin returned, he immediately began to cast the chisel.

I first built a few sets and tried them.

After trying it, I found out how sharp this thing really is?

Previously, when hand-chiseled stones. In teams of two, one person is in charge and the other is hammered.

When encountering a large stone, you can only chisel a row of small holes little by little, and then use a sledgehammer to crack the stone.

Now this is a chiseled by the earth, and only four people need to pull the chisel. A few strokes can break a large rock.

Even Li Zuoche was surprised when he saw it.

One can only sigh.

The big scene of digging the canal has many things that the local natives have never seen.

The indigenous laborers, when they work, do not look resentful, but full of excitement and spring breeze.

The work assigned to them was not heavy, and the food was good.

As a result, more and more indigenous people are attracted to work on construction sites.

For them, it’s a relaxed way of life. Compared to before, going hunting all day is much more reliable.

At least it’s stable and reassuring. You can eat enough every day.

After a long time, he also knew the various rules of the Qin people.

At this time, Li Zuoche came to Han Xin and made a suggestion.

“General Han, now that the local people have a tendency to belong, shouldn’t they report to the imperial court and set up a county here?”

Han Xin understood what Li Zuoche meant.

The purpose of establishing counties is not to collect taxes, but to indoctrinate.

First, set up a public hall to judge the merits with the Qin Law. Let the local people begin to accept the rule of law in Daqin.

Second, set up a county school so that the local people can also integrate into Daqin culture.

However, Han Xin was hesitating, he was worried about another thing.

“Teacher, if the imperial court sends another county order, then we will become guests from the owner of this place. If the new county order disagrees with us again, another plan will be made. Haven’t all our previous efforts been in vain? ”

Li Zuoche stared at Han Xin for a while. Suddenly, he burst out laughing.

“General Han, are you afraid that you want to take this Kradi Canal into your own hands?”

Han Xin’s intentions were seen through, and his face blushed.

“Teacher, don’t laugh at me. The Clardi Canal, I worked so hard to dig it. Once successful, this will be a strategic location for the entire Nanyang! Of course, I have to find a way to control such an important place in my own hands. ”

Li Zuoche nodded and approved of Han Xin’s idea.

Just, there is a little.

“General Han, is there a point I don’t know if you thought about it? If you yourself with a large army and act recklessly, do you know what the emperor will think? ”

This question made Han Xin sweat coldly.

It was not without his thoughts that the general was outside and commanding the army. The emperor must be worried.

It’s just that he has always been loyal and has never meant to rebel. So Han Xin felt that the emperor would understand him.

However, this is a hidden danger after all, if one day someone speaks ill of him in front of the emperor. Then, there is still the possibility of being identified as rebellious.

Han Xin saw that Li Zuoche had brought the topic here, and he must have something to say.

Quickly bowed to Li Zuoche.

“The teacher taught me!”

Li Zuoche shook his head and said.

“Han Xinna, I asked you to report to the imperial court to set up a county, the most important meaning, in fact, you haven’t seen it through. It is to give the king a handle. ”

“Grant the monarch a handle?”

Han Xin was a little puzzled.

That’s easy to understand. It’s just that what handle can he have and put it in the hands of the emperor?

Li Zuoche explained.

“The general is outside, and the emperor is really difficult to restrain him. You took the initiative to ask the emperor to restrict you, and this is proof of loyalty. ”

Han Xin understood.

It is no longer important to prove loyalty whether you can fully control the Kradi Canal yourself.

After thinking about it, Han Xin decided to apply to the imperial court to establish a county.

Take the initiative yourself, maybe the imperial court will consider his situation and arrange someone who can cooperate with him.

And after the establishment of the county, there is another advantage. That is, you can justifiably ask the imperial court for officials.

Now here, they are all big-headed soldiers, and there are few literate ones. There is still a great need for talents in this area.

Han Xin bowed to Li Zuoche.

If there was no reminder from Li Zuoche, he would continue to walk like this, maybe he would be beaten into a rebellion one day, and he would not know it.

Han Xin’s whole mind is on war and strategy, and he is really not very good at political thinking.

Li Zuoche saw that Han Xin accepted his opinion, and did not say more.

For Han Xin, he still has deep expectations.
