The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Deng Huazhen donated 2000 million taels of silver, so he can't be lower than Deng Huazhen, because both of them are second-rank Shangshu, and he can't be higher than Deng Huazhen, this is an unacceptable rule.

"Your Majesty, in the name of the Song family, I will donate 2000 million taels of silver to the household department!"

"Your Majesty, in the name of the Huang family, I will donate 2000 million taels of silver to the household department!"

"Your Majesty, in the name of the Dong family, I will donate 2000 million taels of silver to the household department!"

"Your Majesty, in the name of the Ning family, I will donate 2000 million taels of silver to the household department!"

Song Qian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Huang Pin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Dong Xing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Ning Le, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stepped out of the official queue one after another, and all donated 2000 million taels of silver. Every time they said that they donated 2000 million taels of silver, their faces flickered The color of excessive flesh pain.

There is no doubt that this is the wealth accumulated by their family for hundreds of years, and now it can be described as a hemorrhage!

"Aiqing is the pillar of the country, woo woo" Yan Diliu burst into tears, feeling that he is really blessed to have such a group of virtuous ministers.

But being moved is moved, Yan Diliu never believed that he caused this disaster by himself.

If it was changed before, the military officials might be moved by Emperor Yan and cry, but now, they only have contempt and complaints in their hearts. If you hadn't had a brain cramp and fought against the Great Qin and killed the envoy of Qin, how would you be in the situation today.

The most important thing is that even if your brain is cramped, you are still lazy!

In fact, before the Qin army broke through Huaicheng, the Ministry of War submitted a memorial for recruiting troops. As a result, Emperor Yan stayed in the wine pool and meat forest all the time, and he didn't even read the memorial. As a result, he lost the best time for recruiting troops. It was too late to recruit troops.

If Emperor Yan had reviewed the recruitment memorials submitted by the Ministry of War in the first place, perhaps he would not have developed to the present state.

Next, it was the turn of the six or so ministers to stand up and express their opinions. The twelve or so ministers also seemed to have agreed to donate 1000 million taels of silver. .

Half an hour later, Minister Wu had finished expressing his views. A total of 5000 million taels of silver was raised, plus 6000 million taels of silver from the treasury, for a total of 1000 million taels of silver, which was a full 1000 million more. Needless to say, the extra The money Yandi Liu will definitely not return to the officials, but will be kept for his own use.

Seeing that the money was enough, both Wu Baiguan and Yan Diliu breathed a sigh of relief. Now they finally don't have to worry about the Qin army breaking through the capital of Wuyang Emperor!

PS: "Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a full subscription, and ask for three daily requests. I hope you guys can agree to the humble author's request!"

Chapter 484 Compensation of [-] million taels of silver!

It didn't take long before all the officials left Chengqian Hall one after another, and went back to their houses to collect money, and Yan Diliu also hurried to the harem to celebrate with his concubine...

The next day, November 14th, [-]!

At dawn, Ying Chang ordered the camp to be pulled out, and together with Bai Qi, he led the three thousand Xuanjia troops straight to the Wuyang Imperial Capital. After half a day, the three thousand Xuanjia troops spanned fifty miles, and finally arrived three miles away from the west gate of the Wuyang Imperial Capital. He often ordered the army to set up camp and wait for the Yan Empire to give a reply.

When the news that the Qin army came near Wuyang City spread throughout the city, it immediately caused panic among the people in the city. It was not just the people who panicked. The imperial capital took revenge on them crazily.

At the same time of panic, Wuyang City also felt a deep sense of humiliation. The Dayan Empire has been established for 800 years, and in the 800 years, it has never been killed by an enemy country near Wuyang City, and the Dayan Empire is not a weak country, with a population of 400. Thousands of giants, with 50 armor.

It is reasonable to be killed to the door of the house when the country is weak, but it is beyond common sense to be killed to the door of the house when the country is strong, and the Qin army has not many troops, plus the Xiongnu cavalry, it is also unreasonable. But fifty thousand!

The Great Yan Empire, with 50 armored troops, can't stop the Qin army with less than [-] troops. It is a shame, a humiliation, and the grief of the country!

Under the panic, all officials from the imperial court to the common people began to complain, all of them scolding the current emperor Yanliu, and even several military officials deliberately revealed that the military department had submitted a recruitment proposal to Yanliu. The memorial, but Yan Liu was too late to review it because of her lust and laziness, which resulted in losing the best time to recruit soldiers!

As soon as the news came out, Yan Liu was directly labeled as a Hunjun, and Yan Liu, who was in the deep palace, didn't know the situation outside at all, and didn't know that he, the Mingjun, had become a Hunjun.

It has to be said that out of fear that the Qin army would make progress and insisted on attacking Wuyang City, Minister of War Ji Yong personally recruited soldiers in the market of Wuyang City. No matter how dissatisfied the people were with the imperial court, they actively participated in the recruitment and became temporary civilian warriors. At that time, the Ministry of War recruited a total of [-] civilians!

It is good to have a large population, and you can recruit 400 civilians casually. If Yanliu reviewed the military recruitment memorial, the Qin army might not be able to fight at all, because with the Yan Empire's population of 40 million, it is easy to recruit [-] to [-] soldiers!

Alas, Yan Liu is so stupid that he missed the opportunity to recruit soldiers!

What they don't know is that no matter how many soldiers the Yan Empire recruits, it's just a flash in the pan, and the willpower of 20 elite Yan troops can be defeated, so how can the willpower of 40 to [-] recruits be able to withstand it.

Yan people are not Qin people, and Yan people do not have the tenacious willpower of Qin people!

......

It's three o'clock!

The scorching sun hanging in the sky gradually sets towards the west mountain. Under the sunset light, the white clouds turn into red clouds, which becomes a beautiful line of sight!

tread... tread...

Ying Chang and Bai Qi led three thousand Xuanjia troops on war horses, galloped from the camp of the Qin Army all the way to the west gate of Wuyang City, flying sand and stones all the way, the dust was flying, and the scene was magnificent. The officers, soldiers and civilians on the city wall were frightened.

Especially Minyong, they were still farmers working with hoes half a day ago, they usually fought with others at most, never killed anyone, and rarely saw blood. It's daunting to look at, and the hair stands on end!

The news that the Qin army came out in full force quickly spread to the ears of all military officials, and Yan Diliu, who was in the deep palace, also received the news. When he heard the news, the government and the public were frightened, except that Yan Diliu was still in the palace. Besides, all the officials of the imperial court flocked to the west city wall.

At the moment when Wu Baiguan climbed the west city wall, Ying Chang and Bai Qi also led the three thousand Xuanjia troops to six hundred steps away from the west city gate. The capital of Wuyang Emperor also had a moat. As if breaking through Huai City, standing on the edge of the moat, a pair of sharp eyes with red light frightened the minds of the court ministers of the Yan Dynasty.

Elite!The best of the best!

Sensing the monstrous momentum emanating from the Xuanjia Army, Minister Wu felt uneasy when he saw the tiger's color change. Cold sweat slid down his cheeks drop by drop. Minister, his body is already trembling slightly.

Among the three thousand Xuanjia troops, the most eye-catching existences are Ying Chang and Bai Qi. The black dragon on the Dragon Emperor's armor is lifelike, exuding the monstrous majesty of the emperor. The golden tassel on the top of the head symbolizes the supreme imperial power. The black five-clawed black dragon is very depressing!

The tall and burly Bai Qi, combined with his natural heavy armor, gives people a feeling of infinite power. His scarlet eyes are even more chilling, and his hairs stand on end. He seems to be a born god of war, born for war. born!

"What do you think about it!"

Ying Chang's deep black eyes, sharp as a sword, frightened the minds of all the officials of the Dayan court, and his tone was full of unquestionable majesty!

At a distance of six hundred steps, Ying Chang's voice was strengthened by internal force, and it clearly entered the ears of the officials of the Dayan court. Deng Huazhen, the Minister of the Household Department, took a small step forward, supported the city wall with both hands, and shouted loudly, "Qin Your Majesty, I, Dayan, have agreed to admire the Great Qin Empire's [-] million taels of silver, and after an hour, the [-] million taels of silver will be sent out in full, please wait a moment for Emperor Qin!"

Ok?

Ying Chang was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Bai Qi in blank dismay, seeing the flash of surprise in the other's eyes, agreed?I actually agreed!

Dayan agreed to pay [-] million taels of silver, which was beyond Ying Chang's expectations. From Ying Chang's point of view, the Dayan court definitely did not have so much money, and those aristocratic families were absolutely unwilling to donate the money to the treasury, so Ying Chang always It is believed that the Dayan court could not afford so much money, so it was impossible to cease the war.

But now, the Great Yan court is really going to take it out!

As for whether the Yan court will deceive him, Ying Chang is not worried, because someone said just now that after an hour, three hundred million taels of silver will be sent out in full.

Being able to say this shows that the Dayan court really prepared [-] million taels of silver.

Ying Chang suddenly became at a loss. He was not ready for his return to the imperial court. All along, he had the idea of ​​attacking the capital of Wuyang Emperor, insulting Emperor Yan, and looting Wuyang City. He never thought of not breaking Wuyang Then the teacher returned to the dynasty.

"Get it when you see it!"

Bai Qi seemed to have guessed Ying Chang's mind, and said suddenly.

PS: "Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a full subscription, and ask for three daily requests. I hope you guys can agree to the humble author's request, and don't dislike the lack of updates. The author is exhausted physically and mentally with five updates a day!"

Chapter 485 I Was Backlashed!

"Why?" Ying Chang turned his head and glanced at Bai Qi, raised his eyebrows, "Yan court is willing to pay [-] million taels of silver, which means that the money in Wuyang City is definitely more than [-] million. If we break Wuyang City, the benefits we will get There must be more!"

"Besides, it's already here. Wouldn't it be a pity not to go into Wuyang City?" Ying Chang's tone was a little unwilling, obviously not wanting to leave just like that.

"I've been backlashed!" Bai Qi stared at Ying Chang and said.

A horrified look flashed across Ying Chang's eyes, and he asked with a slightly worried look: "Backlash? Why did you get backlashed? I think you look pretty good, and there's nothing wrong!"

Bai Qi exhaled softly, and said in a slightly weak tone: "I don't know, just this morning, I felt a burst of qi hitting my abdomen, causing a burst of pain. I didn't take it seriously at first. As a result, the pain is getting more and more painful now, and it hurts even more when I use my internal energy, probably because my dantian is damaged, presumably because when I blasted open the gate of Huaicheng, I used too much force and was hurt by my own internal energy!"

"I see!" Ying Chang nodded solemnly, and decided to accept it as soon as it was good, not to attack Wuyang City, but he couldn't just leave so easily, and the Great Yan Empire had to pay something!

Ying Chang raised his head, looked sharply at the officials of the Yan court on the city wall, and shouted in a loud voice with no expression on his face: "Your Great Yan Empire has committed two crimes, one is to invade the land of Qin, and the other is to fight Kill my envoy of the Great Qin Empire!"

"Three hundred million taels of silver is just to pay the Great Yan Empire for invading the land of Qin and killing the envoys of the Great Qin Empire, but it hasn't been settled yet!"

"This...."

"Furious old man!"

"Make an inch of it, make an inch of it!"

"My lords, what should I do!"

"Ask him, ask him what he wants to do!"

The military officials yelled and cursed in anger, blowing their beards and staring angrily, feeling that Emperor Qin was too greedy, he already asked for [-] million taels of silver, and wanted to pay for it.

While angry, he felt helpless, who made Daqin the strong and Dayan the weak, and who made the Yan Empire a stupid pig emperor, Zhang Feizi must be blamed for this, he pushed this stupid pig to the throne, I ran away by myself, what a bastard, the old guy is bad.

"I don't know what price His Majesty Emperor Qin wants Dayan to pay!" Deng Huazhen, Minister of the Household Department, shouted at Ying Chang again.

He did not deny the fact that the Yan Empire killed the Qin envoy, because denying it would only make the other party more angry, which is not conducive to negotiations. Since he is ready not to fight, he must not anger the other party, and can only follow the other party's wishes .

This is the sorrow of the weak!

"The Great Yan Empire has been demoted to one level. A king cannot be an emperor, and a country cannot be an empire if it is a vassal state. It is subordinate to the Great Qin Empire and pays 1000 million taels of silver to the Great Qin Empire every year. This is the price for killing the envoys of the Great Qin Empire." !" Ying Chang opened his mouth wide again, afraid that others would not refuse.

"Impossible!" Deng Huazhen refused without hesitation!

The strength of the Great Yan Empire lies here. Although it cannot beat the Great Qin Empire, how can I say that the Great Yan Empire is also an existence that cannot be ignored in the land of Kyushu. If it has strength, how can it be possible to demote itself to the national level? They promised that the 400 million Yan people would I will not agree!

As for being subordinate to the Great Qin Empire, it is even more impossible. Compared to the comprehensive national strength, Great Yan surpasses Great Qin, so how can it be subordinate to the Great Qin Empire? Does the Great Yan Empire not want dignity?They agreed, but none of the 400 million Yan people would agree. Furthermore, the fact that the Qin army was able to reach the capital of Emperor Wuyang this time was entirely because the Great Yan Empire underestimated the Great Qin Empire. If it were to start all over again, the Great Yan Empire would never be defeated so miserable.

As for the tribute of 1000 million taels of silver to the Great Qin Empire, this is also difficult to accept, it is too insulting, but compared to the first two conditions, paying tribute is not unacceptable.

"I give you three choices. The first choice is to surrender yourself to a vassal state, the second choice is to become a vassal state of the Great Qin Empire, and the third choice is to pay tribute to the Great Qin Empire. Choose one of the three. Choose, I immediately ordered to attack the city, presumably Bai Qi’s Wei Minger and others have heard it, Wuyang City, it’s just a mere Wuyang City, can’t stop the sharpness of my Great Qin Wuwang!” Ying Chang’s mouth curled into a strange arc.

There is a good saying, if you want to tear down the windows, they will object, but if you want to lift the roof, they will agree to tear down the windows, you have to compare them, weigh the pros and cons, let them know, and pay tribute to the Great Qin Empire. It is better than self-demotion and becoming a vassal state.

The court ministers of the Yan Dynasty on the city wall fell silent, and began to think about how to choose. In fact, most ministers already had a choice, but they just couldn’t say it out loud. They were worried that they would become the sinners of the Great Yan Empire. First time!

"This bad guy, let me be the official!" Deng Huazhen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, sighed softly. After hearing this, Minister Wu was silent. Deng Huazhen hesitated for a while, then took a deep breath, and faced the six hundred steps. Besides, Ying Chang on the edge of the moat shouted:

"His Majesty Qin Emperor, I, Da Yan, are willing to pay 1000 million taels of silver to the Great Qin Empire every year, but His Majesty Qin Emperor must agree to two requirements!"

Ying Chang was overjoyed, but he didn't show it, and replied, "What request?"

"First, after this battle, the Great Qin Empire is not allowed to step into the Great Yan Empire without permission, and it is even more forbidden to find groundless reasons to start a war against the Great Yan Empire. In the Northern Desert, Yan merchants are allowed to do business in the Northern Desert, and Qin merchants can also enter the Great Yan Empire to do business, to benefit each other!" Deng Huazhen said in a loud voice with no expression on his face.

The first requirement is to put a protection lock on the Great Yan Empire, lest the Great Qin Empire find a reason to attack the Great Yan Empire. The second requirement is that the Great Yan Empire has been beaten so badly that it urgently needs to recover blood, and Bei Damo is a good one. Return to the blood zone!

Cattle, sheep, and horses are scarce items in most empires. All scarce items are expensive and valuable. The Great Yan Empire may be able to make a lot of money and return a wave of blood by relying on the Northern Desert. The Qin Empire has no disadvantages, but it is beneficial to the Great Qin Empire!

After listening to these two requests, Ying Chang nodded inwardly. These two requests were not excessive, and the Great Qin Empire could agree, but Ying Chang still pretended to hesitate, as if weighing the pros and cons. This was a reassurance for the officials of the Great Yan Empire. If he readily agreed, these Yan court ministers would be worried.

"Okay! I agree!"

After a period of silence, Ying Chang finally responded.

PS: "Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for full reservations, ask for monthly tickets, and ask for three daily tickets!"

Chapter 486 The class teacher returns to court!

The moment Ying Chang answered, all the officials of the Yan Dynasty on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, and each of them wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads as if they had been pardoned. The Qin army seized the city, which really scared them a lot!

Next, Deng Huazhen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, walked out of the city gate with a cartload of gold and silver, and handed over [-] million taels of silver to Ying Chang. , to see if there is less.

At the same time that the officers and men of the Xuanjia Army were making calculations, Ying Chang also signed a letter of credence with Deng Huazhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. After signing with Deng Huazhen's name, Deng Huazhen's whole body softened!

For the Great Yan Empire, this credential is undoubtedly a credential that humiliates the country and power, and is destined to be put on the pillar of shame.

According to historical records of later generations, on November 14th, [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the Holy Qin Emperor signed the letter of tribute from Yan to Qin every year at the west gate of the capital of Emperor Wuyang of the Great Yan Empire.

The next day, on November 14th, the [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the Qin army returned with a full load, and the squadron returned to the court. On this day, Deng Huazhen, the former minister of the household department of the Great Yan Empire, was promoted to the first-rank prime minister and commanded all the officials. The next day, Yanliu, the emperor of the Great Yan Empire, was locked up in the Showa Palace and became a veritable puppet emperor!

Time passed slowly, day by day, due to too much [-] million taels of silver, the marching speed of the Xuanjia army dropped sharply. Originally, they could return to Huaicheng in four days, but it took a whole month to return to Huaicheng, and the Xuanjia army returned to Huaicheng. At the time of Huaicheng, the Qin army broke through Huaicheng, and the news that the Yan court signed the letter of credence under the city also spread throughout the Great Yan Empire!

"Old Hu, have you heard? The Qin army broke through Huai City and almost broke into the capital of Wuyang Emperor!"

"Ugh"

"I heard that I, Dayan, paid a total of 80 million taels of silver, [-] million taels, if this much money is distributed to ordinary people like us, each person can get [-] taels of silver!"

"Yes, a total of [-] million, the court is really useless!"

"Who is it? In addition to compensating the Qin people with [-] million taels of silver, they have to pay tribute to the Qin people every year. National humiliation! National humiliation! I hate the old man, otherwise I will kill the Qin people with a knife!"

"According to me, the imperial court is looking for death on its own. Who told him to invade the land of Qin without declaring war and kill the envoys of the Great Qin? Who can bear it? It's like I robbed your family's money and killed you. People in your family, can you bear it?"

"Yes, yes, the court deserves it, deserves to be beaten, and deserves compensation!"

"Damn the imperial court for not helping us poor people with so much money!"

"That's right, 400 million taels of silver, each of our 80 million Yan people can get [-] taels of silver. According to me, the imperial court pays well. Who will let him give some of the money to us poor people!"

"That's right, don't sympathize with the poor imperial court. How the imperial court treats us, you have to look at yourself and show the landlord a whole life. You didn't get an acre of land, and food is still a problem!"

"Yes, the government asked us to open up wasteland several times, but the government didn't give us an acre of good land that was opened up. The government gave all of it to the landlords. The imperial court is so inactive and doesn't care about us ordinary people. Why should we be sympathetic to them? !"

"I can't even get enough to eat, and I'm killing the people of Qin with a knife!"

"I've heard that the reason why the Qin Empire is so powerful is because the Emperor Qin treated their common people very well. He opened up wasteland and gained it for himself. No one can control it. As long as it is not abandoned, he can open up as much land as he wants and plant it every year. The food that comes out is too much to eat, and you can make a lot of money selling food every year!"

"If the imperial court treats me so well, I will try my best to protect it, and it will be worth it even if I die!"

"I envy the people of Qin!"
