The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"Surrender, if you continue to fight, it will only increase the killing..." Min Huo muttered to himself with a dead face. This sentence seemed to have exhausted his strength. Once he said it, he became weaker and weaker. .

"His Majesty!"

"Woooo!"

The ministers couldn't help crying bitterly. Many ministers really wanted to oppose the surrender, but they couldn't say it out loud, because no matter how they fought, they would inevitably suffer a disastrous defeat. There was no point in continuing to fight this war.

"Forget it, forget it, everything is life!"

Zong Xianzheng, a sixtieth veteran minister, smiled sadly, and slowly got up from the ground. Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Zong Xianzheng's expression became solemn, his face was full of the intention of going to death, and Zong Xianzheng roared: "The Great Jin Empire Ancestors and ancestors, the younger generation, the mediocre minister Zong Xian, is coming to see you!"

After a loud roar, Zong Xianzheng fearlessly slammed into the blue pillar beside him. When Zong Xianzheng's forehead collided with the blue pillar, there was a sound of "bang!", and a stream of blood spattered from Zong Xianzheng's forehead. Out, the latter also fell down with a muffled sound!

In a short period of time, the living military minister Zong Xian was turning into a cold corpse!

"Lord Zong!"

"Lord Zong!"

"No!"

The ministers and Min Huo repeatedly exclaimed and wanted to stop it, but it was too late!

There was a pain in Min Huo's heart, the pain was like a knife, and all the ministers were mourned, dejected, and there was no longer any resistance in their hearts. It can be said that all thoughts were lost, and they no longer had any expectations and hopes for the Great Jin Empire!

Da Jin!dead!

"Let's surrender to Qin!" Min Huo said in a weak voice.

Hearing these three words, all the ministers went limp, as if they were suffering from a serious illness. Min Qing was in a trance for a while, her body was a little precarious. Fortunately, she was sitting. If she was standing, she would probably have collapsed to the ground. up.

"Your Majesty, why did you surrender to Qin and not Zhao?" A minister couldn't help but bite the bullet and asked.

The question asked by this minister was very stupid, but even if it was stupid, he still told the heart of half of the ministers present. This half of the ministers hated Qin to the core, and blamed the Qin Empire for the main reason for the decline of the Jin Dynasty. In fact, The main reason for the decline of the Jin Dynasty was indeed the Qin Empire.

But they never thought about why the Great Jin was weak?

"Zhao Qin's attack on my Da Jin is the enemy of my Da Jin, but compared with the Qin Empire, the Zhao Empire is even more despicable and shameless. They tore up the agreement for the sake of profit, and put my Da Jin princess into the cold palace. How can I accept this? Niaoqi, this is the first reason why I descended to Qin!"

"The second reason is that Jin has lost to Qin. Everything that Jin has suffered now is a cycle of cause and effect. Jin was destroyed by Qin, and it will not be wronged. Dear friends, do you have any questions?" Min Huo concentrated his mind and put himself The reason why he surrendered to Qin was informed to the ministers.

He can also be regarded as a sensible person, knowing that the source of this series of incidents was all caused by the Great Jin stealing Qin and seeking Qin to destroy Qin, and the Qin Empire cannot be blamed at all.

All the ministers were silent after hearing these words, unable to refute.

"Let's draw up an imperial edict, ordering all local government officials not to resist, let go of the city gates, and welcome the Qin army to enter the city. The Ministry of Rites will also send officials to Xianyang, the Qin Empire, to meet the Emperor Qin..." Min Huo, who was pale and powerless, issued the last order !

"Minister... obey the order..." The dejected ministers kowtowed feebly in response.

After a period of time, all the ministers left the East Palace one after another, and Min Qing also staggered back to her own bedroom...

On the next day, on May 20th, the [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the imperial court of the Great Jin Dynasty conveyed its decree to the local governments, ordering that the local governments do not need to resist, and if the Qin army is approaching the city, they should open the city gates to welcome the Qin army into the city!

Fast forward fourteen days, June 20st, [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the Great Jin Empire, Chongnan County, and Shijing County!

Ishii County is the county seat of Chongnan County. When it was most prosperous, it had a population of 2. However, due to years of war consumption, the prosperity of Ishii County has long been lost. The population has dropped from 12 to 50, and the population of [-] Among them, the elderly are the most, followed by babies and women. There is not a single man over the age of [-] and under the age of [-]!

Outside the gate of the west city in Shijing County, there are more than a dozen dejected men. They range in age. The youngest is in his 30s, and the oldest is a sixty-year-old man with frost on his temples. They are all wearing blue official uniforms. Local officials in Ishii Prefecture!

Standing in the front is an old man with gray temples, wearing a blue white pheasant patch court uniform. His name is Zhang Zeling, and he is a fifth-rank official worshiped as the governor of Chongnan County. He is 61 years old this year and has been the governor of Chongnan County for [-] years. Years left!

Zhang Zeling was holding a price wrapped in red cloth in both hands. This price was the official seal of Chongnan County, and in front of him stood a middle-aged mighty man wearing a tiger pattern armor and a purple tasseled helmet. Luo Xing, the third-rank Ningyuan General of the Great Qin Empire!

And one step behind Luo Xing, standing at the ninth rank of the Great Qin Empire, General Ai Qun, behind Luo Xing and Ai Qun, stood tens of thousands of murderous Qin soldiers!

It took many days, and Luo Xing's army had already reached the county town of Chongnan County, and after three or four hundred miles, they would reach the imperial capital of Jinling!

Zhang Zeling held the seal of the prefect with both hands, and slowly bent his knees, and the officials standing behind him also knelt down. After Zhang Zeling knelt on the ground, he lowered his head and bowed his waist and shouted: "The fifth rank of the Great Jin Empire Zhang Zeling, governor of Chongnan County, surrenders to the Qin army according to His Majesty's will!"

"By His Majesty's will?"

Luo Xing was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Zeling to do this suddenly, Luo Xing couldn't help frowning, and asked in a serious tone: "You just said, according to His Majesty's order? Your Majesty, you mean That His Majesty?"

"Of course it is Emperor Zhaoxiao of the Great Jin Empire!" Zhang Zeling replied blankly.

"What?" Luo Xing and Ai Qun couldn't help being surprised, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they could see the horror flashing in each other's eyes!

They naturally knew about the news that the Jin Empire had established a new emperor, but they didn't expect that since the new emperor ordered Zhang Zeling to surrender!

Luo Xing did not accept Zhang Zeling's Seal of Sheriff, but immediately asked, "Is this decree aimed at you, the Sheriff of Chongnan County, or the entire Great Jin Empire?"

Chapter 589 Rapid progress!

If you don't ask about this matter, you will feel uncomfortable, because it is really inexplicable and there is no sign.

"Zhao Fajin, the imperial court was unable to do what it wanted, and ordered all the officials to surrender to the Qin army. The imperial court has sent envoys to Xianyang, the Qin Empire, to meet His Majesty the Qin Emperor, and prepare to surrender the whole country to Qin. In the battle between Qin and Jin, you, the Qin Empire, will be the final winners. !" Zhang Zeling was neither happy nor sad, his face was expressionless, as if he had seen through the world of mortals!

"So that's how it is!" Luo Xing nodded thoughtfully, stretched out his right hand to take the sheriff's seal held by Zhang Zeling in both hands, then waved his left hand and said: "Take them down, the army enters the city!"

"Obey!" Ai Qun bowed respectfully in response, then turned and shouted to the soldiers of the Qin Army behind him, "Take them away!"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of Qin army soldiers walked out of the army formation, detained Zhang Zeling and a group of promoted officials, and then the army entered Shijing City and became the masters of Shijing City!

Luo Xing and Ai Qun did not follow the army into the city at the first time, but walked to the side of the city gate and sat in the pergola where the guards and soldiers were supposed to rest. Watching the army enter Ishii City one after another, Ai Qun couldn't help grinning Said: "General, I feel that this is not a war, but a game. I originally thought that Shijing County was the prefect of Chongnan County, and would have a certain amount of resistance. I planned to attack the city, but the result was the same as that of Huang'an County. , as soon as we arrived, the people in the city surrendered!"

"Haha!" Luo Xing smiled knowingly, "If I'm not wrong, the Jin court originally placed its hope on the Zhao Empire. How can the kings and ministers of the Jin Dynasty persist in the attack!"

"The fighting spirit has been completely wiped out, so naturally there is no willpower to continue fighting. Therefore, the Jin court ordered all the officials to surrender to our Qin army. I believe that after the Jin envoys meet with His Majesty, the Jin court will surrender the whole country. , this war is over!"

"It's great that the Zhao Empire came here. It's a godsend. By the way, the Jin court is ready to surrender. Can we slow down the marching speed? Anyway, the Jin court is going to surrender. It doesn't matter how fast or slow it is. It's better to make the soldiers more comfortable!" Ai The group spoke.

Luo Xing shook his head, and said in a serious tone: "No, not only don't slow down, but also speed up, you just heard that the Zhao Empire also sent troops to attack Jinling, and the Jinling Emperor's capital is very close to Zhao Jing, if we One step too late, the Imperial Capital of Jinling will be captured by Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun's capture of the Imperial Capital of Jinling will not be a good thing for our Great Qin!"

Hearing these words, Ai Qun couldn't help but become serious, understanding the importance of this matter.

"Go and invite Xu Shui, Chief of the Zhongwu Guard!" Luo Xing seemed to have thought of something.

"There is no need to invite the general, the next official is here!"

Just when Ai Qun was about to respond, a smiling voice came from not far away, and he subconsciously looked up, only to see a young man in a black python suit with a sword hanging on his waist riding a war horse. Slowly walking towards Luo Xing, followed by five young men also wearing black python suits, but although they were wearing the same black python suits, the leading youth was wearing a two-claw python suit, obviously of a different level.

The leader of the youth is Xu Shui, the head of the Zhongwu Guard, and the next five Wuwei are Xu Shui's subordinates. They are ordered to collect the heads of the Jinmin royal family and have the task of slaughtering the Jinmin royal family.

"It's just in time, I have something to discuss with you!" Luo Xing said expressionlessly.

Xu Shui jumped off his horse, and said to Luo Xing with a smile on his face, "I don't know what the general wants to discuss with the lower officials?"

"Your Majesty won't let you kill the Jinmin royal family? Now that the Jin court is ready to surrender to us, Daqin, do you want to kill the Jinmin royal family?" Luo Xing went straight to the point without going around the bush. If the Jin court surrendered, they would still have to be slaughtered. To destroy the Jinmin royal family, then he has to pay attention to this aspect, not to let the people of the Jinmin royal family run away, if they don't kill them, then don't care about the Jinmin royal family.

"The Jin court surrendered?" Xu Shui was taken aback suddenly.

He was behind the army just now, and he didn't know that the Jin court was going to surrender to Daqin, so it was a bit of a surprise to him. After all, when he was in the palace, Emperor Zhaode of Dajin was very stubborn and vowed not to surrender, otherwise, Your Majesty Nor would he be so angry that he would slaughter the Jinmin royal family.

Xu Shui frowned slightly, and asked hesitantly, "Is it true?"

Luo Xing couldn't help being silent. He didn't know whether it was true or not. After all, he only heard it from Zhang Zeling's mouth, and didn't see the Jin court's definite order with his own eyes. After a few breaths of silence, he opened his mouth and replied:

"Whether it is true or not, the general is not very clear. I heard it from Zhang Zeling, the governor of Chongnan County. Anyway, he told the general that he surrendered to the Qin army according to the imperial order. In Chongnan County, all the government offices in the Great Jin Dynasty have received the order from the Jin court!"

"This..." Xu Shui suddenly became embarrassed. If this matter is not confirmed, then the matter will be difficult. If this matter is false, he did not immediately slaughter the Jinmin royal family and let the Jinmin royal family If the person in question ran away, he would have to shed a layer of skin if he didn't die. If this was true, but he slaughtered the Jinmin royal family, he would have to shed a layer of skin if he didn't die!

"Didn't Zhang Zeling say to follow the Jin court's decree? Ask him to take out the imperial decree handed down to him by the Jin court. With the decree to testify, it can prove whether it is true or not. If it is false, then follow the original plan. If it is true, immediately send someone to send a letter to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to make a new ruling on whether to slaughter the Jinmin royal family!" Ai Qun couldn't help but interjected at this moment.

Luo Xing and Xu Shui's eyes lit up, yes, wouldn't they know if there is an imperial decree from the Jin Dynasty?

Soon, Ai Qun went to Zhang Zeling, and asked Zhang Zeling to take out the imperial decree passed to him by the Jin court. Zhang Zeling took Ai Qun, Luo Xing, and Xu Shui to the prefect's mansion and put it on the case table of the court. The imperial decree was handed over to Luo Xing.

After reading the edict, Luo Xing, Xu Shui, and Ai Qun could confirm that the Jin court was really planning to surrender to the Great Qin. After confirming this, Xu Shui immediately sent a Xianyang Palace military guard back to Xianyang to inform Ying Chang of the matter. Let Yingchang re-judgment whether to Tu Guangjin Min royal family.

Not only Wu Jinjun learned that the Jin court had surrendered to the Qin army, but also the Great Wall Army and the Grassland Army. Their attitude towards this matter was the same as Wu Jinjun's. First, he read the imperial decree conveyed by the Jin court to the local government, and then sent people to speed it up. Return to Xianyang and report the matter to Ying Chang.

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a full reservation, asking for a reward, and asking for four daily requests. I hope all the judges can agree!"

Chapter 590 Three states outside the pass and three states inside the pass!

Ten days later, on June 20th, the [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, in ten days, Wu Jin's army occupied the entire county of Chongnan County. Except for some defenders who stayed behind and stationed in various cities, the rest of the army approached the Jinling Imperial Capital of Changping County, Changcheng County and the Grassland Army. Also occupied the entire county of Yongcheng County, the Great Wall Army attacked Changping County, and the Grassland Army attacked Shunbei County, and the troops were divided into two groups!

And Zhao Jun, who had been planning for a long time, sent troops from Fengtai County to the north, and within ten days he occupied two counties in Changping County, only [-] miles away from the imperial capital of Jinling. Zhao Jun had two routes in total, all the way using Fengtai County as a springboard Attack Changping County, and use Fangshan County as a springboard to attack Shunbei County all the way!

As of June [-]th, Zhao Jun not only captured two counties in Changping County, but also captured three counties in Shunbei County. According to common sense, Zhao Jun could not be so fast. You must know that the Zhao Empire has just declared war on the Jin Empire. It would take two or three months just to dispatch troops, how could it be possible to win five counties within ten days!

You must know that the Zhao Empire's conspiracy to divide the Jin Dynasty has been planned for a long time, and the army has long been waiting at the border. In addition, Zhao Didan is extremely talented, so he can calculate when the best time to attack. Explained in this way, Zhao Jun is so fast. Not super fast.

Zhao Jun's progress was extremely fast, putting great pressure on Wu Jinjun and the Great Wall Army. Du Changjing had to personally lead the cavalry to attack, and wanted to take down the Jinling Imperial Capital before Zhao Jun!

Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Qilin Palace!

In the majestic and sacred Qilin Hall, all the officials are dressed in neat court uniforms, standing meticulously in the ranks of officials on the left side of the hall. The ranks of military officers are still empty, and Bai Qi has not gone to court today. The black dragon throne on the high platform of the hall , sitting an unrivaled emperor who looked down on the world.

Yingchang is wearing a gold silk black dragon robe today, with a dragon head belt as a restraint around his waist, gold-plated dragon boots on his feet, and a black jade dragon crown on his head. Hair won't get messy.

Ying Chang's sharp sword-like eyes looked around His Royal Highness's officials, making them stand upright. It can be said that they were not angry and arrogant, and brought the mighty emperor's might to the extreme. The hall was very quiet, and the sound of needles falling could be heard in the quiet. During the rest time, Ying Chang was the first to break the silence in the hall, and said to Baiguan expressionlessly:

"Dear dear friends, since the beginning of March this year, my Great Qin has conquered Jin for more than three months. In these three months, my Great Qin has smashed Huangshi Pass and the Great Wall in northern Shanxi, and captured Yiyang County, Yun County, and Weizhou. He County, I believe it won't be long before Yongcheng County and Chongnan County will fall into my Daqin hands!"

"The Great Qin is mighty! The Qin Army is mighty!" Chang Zifei, the Right Prime Minister, shouted with excitement!

"Great Qin Mighty!!

"The Qin army is mighty!!"

All the ministers shouted at the same time, their expressions were quite excited, which was in stark contrast to the expressions of the officials of the Jin Dynasty. It was true that the happiness of the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty was based on the pain of the officials of the Jin Dynasty.

There was a knowing smile on Ying Chang's face, the front line was going smoothly, and nothing could be more happiest than him, the emperor.

Ying Chang lightly raised his hand to signal the ministers to be quiet. Seeing this gesture, all the ministers shut their mouths one after another, making the hall quiet again. Ying Chang also put down his raised hands, and immediately called softly with a solemn expression: "Officials!" Where is the Shangshu!"

Li Ke, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the official queue, heard Ying Chang's call, and hurriedly stepped out of the queue, bowed down respectfully and saluted, and said, "The minister is here!"

"Is my Daqin reserve officer well-prepared?" Ying Chang asked with no expression on his face.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Officials has selected nine alternate sheriffs and 52 alternate county magistrates from various places since February!" Li Ke bowed down respectfully and wrote back.

"Very good!" Ying Chang nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Chang Zifei who was standing on the head of the official, and asked in a neutral tone: "Chang Aiqing, have the administrative boundaries of the states been divided?"

Hearing this, Chang Zifei immediately stood out of the official queue, took out a map and a memorial from his pocket, and presented it with respectful hands: "I report to Your Majesty, I am about to report to His Majesty, this is what I have divided. Your Majesty, please have a look at the administrative boundaries of each state and the list of prefects!"

Pei Ji stepped down the high platform, took the map and memorial in Chang Zifei's hands with both hands, then stepped up to the high platform, and put the map and memorial on the imperial case. Ying Chang first unfolded the map to see the division of administrative boundaries of each state.

This map includes the seventeen counties outside the Daqin Pass and the seven counties inside the pass, and the nine counties of the Dajin that will soon be obtained. Counting the nine counties of the Dajin, there are sixteen counties in the Daqin Pass. The sixteen counties are divided into three prefectures. The names are: Beizhou, Zhongzhou, Dongzhou!

Beizhou has five counties under its jurisdiction, which are: Hexi County, Guangfeng County, Hebei County, Shangyang County, and Nanyang County. The state capital is Xianyang City, Shangyang County; Zhongzhou has five counties under its jurisdiction, and the five counties are: Hedong County, Huainan County, Yiyang County, Weihe County, Yun County, the state capital is Huainan City, Huainan County; Dongzhou has six counties under its jurisdiction, and the six counties are: Yongcheng County, Chongnan County, Changping County, Fengtai County, Shun County North County, Fangshan County, the state capital is Jinling City, Changping County!

The seventeen counties outside the Guan are divided into three prefectures, namely: Guzhou, Yuanzhou, and Ningzhou; Guzhou has six counties under its jurisdiction, and the six counties are: Beijun, Hanjun, Xijun, Gujun, Shijiangjun, Quanzhou The county and the state capital are Beicheng, Beijun; Yuanzhou has five counties under its jurisdiction, and the six counties are: You County, Lin County, Xiyuan County, Dongyuan County, Nanyuan County, and Beiyuan County. The state capital is Xuanguang City, Dongyuan County; Ningzhou It governs five counties, which are: Lanbao County, Dongjun, Bihe County, Moon County, and Sha County, and the state capital is Baocheng, Lanbao County!

Guzhou is located in the western area of ​​the Bailan Prairie in the North Desert, Yuanzhou is located in the west of the Bailan Prairie, the southern part of the Shanshi Prairie, and the northern part of the Mofeier Prairie. It belongs to the junction of the three major grasslands. area!

The three states outside the pass all border on the mainland of Daqin!

After reading the administrative boundaries of each state, Ying Chang picked up the memorial of the list of prefects in each state and started to read it. There were 58 names on the list, all of whom were candidates for prefects, and they were written in great detail. Not only the names of the candidates for prefects, I also wrote about my background, political achievements, family background, ancestral home, and even how much money the prefect candidate had.

Chang Zifei saw that Ying Chang was looking at the list of candidate prefects, so he bent down and wrote a report: "Your Majesty, there are a total of 58 candidate prefects on the list. Among these people, they are all people with brilliant political achievements, and some of them work as errands in six departments. , some of them serve as sheriffs in various local governments, and a few are from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and His Majesty can choose six of them to serve as the prefects of the six states!"

PS: "Please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a reward, and ask for a full order!"

Chapter 591 Partisan Controversy

After reading the list memorial, Ying Chang began to think about choosing the prefect. After careful consideration, he finally decided on the best candidate. After confirming the candidate, Ying Chang looked away from the list memorial, looked at the officials, and said calmly :

"I pass on my decree, Zhang Huaimeng, the prefect of Beijun, is appointed as the prefect of the fourth-rank Guzhou, Zhang Xiaoxian, the prefect of Beiyuan County, is the prefect of Yuanzhou, the prefect of Lanbao County, Ding Chang, the prefect of Ningzhou, the fourth-rank, and Guangfeng County. Guard Zhang Lou as the fourth-rank Beizhou prefect, Deng Guoyao, the governor of Huainan County, the fourth-rank Zhongzhou prefect, and Tan Wu, the governor of Hexi County, the fourth-rank Dongzhou prefect!"

"The rest of the candidates for prefects will serve as officials of the prefects' mansions in various places, and assist the prefects to take charge of the government affairs of a state. Except for the prefect of Dongzhou, who is temporarily unable to take up the post, the other five prefects will immediately go to the local state capital to take office, and try their best to run the state as quickly as possible. County system!"

After the words fell, a trace of joy flashed across the faces of many ministers. Why are they happy?At this time, I have to mention the party struggle between the court and the central government. Now there are three political parties in the court, one is Zhang Feizi's left party, one is Chang Zifei's right party, and the other is the general party headed by Bai Qi!

The left and right parties are in the same situation, neutralize the party!

More than [-]% of the ministers belong to Chang Zifei's right party, and the left party does not account for [-]% of the ministers, and Zhang Feizi is the only one who holds a high position. crab will.

This time, among the 58 candidate prefects, [-] were recommended by the right party and eight were recommended by the left party. Of the eight candidate prefects recommended by the left party, two were selected. These two were the prefect of Guzhou Zhang Huaimeng And Dongzhou Taishou Tan Wu!

The other four prefects were all recommended by the right party. In terms of numbers, the right party beat the left party, but in terms of proportion, the left party beat the right party.

What I have to say is that although Du Yushi Changqing is Chang Zifei's son, he does not belong to the right party. He has arrested corrupt officials several times, but he has always been caught by the right party. He is neutral and does not belong to any faction or party. Say what kind of party he is, then he is the emperor's party, the emperor's party headed by the emperor!

"Your Majesty is holy, long live my emperor!" All the ministers bent down and shouted in unison!

"Don't be in a hurry to shout for Shengming, wait until they have made political achievements, and then there is no rush to shout for Shengming!" Ying Chang said to the ministers expressionlessly.

If one of the six eunuchs is corrupt and perverts the law, calling Shengming now is slapping him in the face!

At this time, Zuo Prime Minister Zhang Feizi took a small step forward, bowed down with a solemn and respectful expression, and wrote a report: "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
