The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Bai Qi looked around at the generals, and then asked: "How much food is there in the army now?"

"Back to King Wu, the Great Wall Army and the Grassland Army still have one month's rations. After one month, they will face the point where their rations will run out!" Du Changjing said with a serious expression.

Due to rushing to Jinling, the Great Wall Army and the Grassland Army did not carry much food, and they could only last for a month. At first, he thought that Jinling City should have some food to eat, but Jinling City only had a few thousand shi of food, which was not enough. for a few days.

As for whether Zhao Jun’s food was seized, no, Zhao Cheng was too much of a thief. He led his troops to the city of Jinling, and he didn’t bring too much food. The possibility of enemy robbing rations.

In the Battle of Jinling, the Qin army defeated the Zhao army. Except for the weapons and armor seized in a place, there was nothing to gain.

"Wu Jinjun still has 15 shi of grain!" Luo Xing said.

When Wu Jinjun entered the customs, he brought 30 shi of grain with him. After three months, he had already eaten 15 shi, and then left part of the grain for the troops stationed in various places, so there were only [-] shi of grain left for distribution. .

"That's not enough!" Du Changjing frowned, with a dignified expression.

Now the Great Wall Army and the Grassland Army have 40 cavalry. The consumption of [-] cavalry is comparable to the consumption of [-] infantry. Adding [-] troops to march, they can eat [-] shi of grain a day. Even if they save a little, they still need to eat a day. A four thousand stone grain.

Four thousand shi a day, 13 shi in ten days, and 15 shi in a month. Under normal circumstances, [-] shi a month is a must, plus the Great Wall Army and the grassland The legion's one-month food storage means that the army can only last for two months, and after two months, it will be hungry!

"Can you borrow food from the people of Jinling City?" Ma boldly made a rare suggestion.

Hearing this suggestion, Zhao Hua couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Forget it, I took people to patrol Jinling City yesterday, and after walking ten steps, a group of people came forward to beg for food and money, the streets and alleys were full of beggars in ragged clothes If it wasn't for the words Jinling City written on the gate of the city, I would have thought it was the city of beggars!"

"The Jin Empire has almost lost all its young and strong. It is not surprising that there are a large number of beggars. It is good that they don't ask us for food. Do you want them to lend us food?" Luo Xing said a little speechlessly.

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a reward, asking for a full reservation, and asking for four daily requests. I beg for your strong support. Thank you, I am very grateful!"

Chapter 610 Unicycle!

Ma boldly saw Zhao Hua and Luo Xing refute his proposal one after another, he was a little unconvinced, and then he suggested: "What about the aristocratic families in the city? Jinling City is also an imperial capital after all, there must be many wealthy families and wealthy families in it. He and the family are fat and oily masters, if they are looted, let alone a month or two of military rations, there will be a year or two of military rations!"

"The wealthy family in the city ran away a few days ago, and even the enemies of the family disappeared without a trace. Moreover, the Jin Empire has surrendered to our Great Qin. How can we loot them? Isn't looting them looting?" People from Qin?" Du Changjing retorted.

Seeing that Du Changjing also refuted himself, Ma Daudao was so depressed that he stopped talking, thinking that it was not suitable for him to give opinions, so he should obediently be a vanguard general!

"Okay, stop arguing. When the king led the 1000 Xuanjia troops to set off, the imperial court had allocated [-] million shi of grain to Jin. I believe that after a while, the aid will arrive, and before the aid arrives, , all ministries are not allowed to move rashly, and stand by in the camp, and wait for the arrival of the food aid, and then go south to conquer!" Bai Qi said with a solemn expression.

"That's the only way to go!" Du Changjing nodded solemnly.

Although the court has allocated 1000 million shi of grain, it is not known when it will arrive. It is best for the Qin army to take down Fangshan and Fengtai counties before the Zhao court reacts, or the Zhao court will be prepared , and there is a high possibility of emergency conscription.

This may not affect the overall situation, but it will definitely increase the pressure on the Qin army to march south!

After a period of time, Du Changjing and others left the handsome tent one after another, leaving Bai Qi alone in the huge handsome tent.

Time passed slowly, and with the passage of time, the news of the surrender of the Great Jin Empire to the Great Qin Empire spread rapidly. When the news spread throughout the entire Jin region, millions of Jin people sighed and felt sorry for the perishing Great Jin Empire. It's a pity that at the same time, I can't help but look forward to the life under the rule of the Great Qin Empire.

Fifteen days in a flash, the 20th day of July [-], Shengqin!

Chen Shi!

The Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Study Room!

"Your Majesty, look, this is the sketch of the unicycle painted by Xu Pin, and I have ordered the Ordnance Department to build it!"

In the imperial study room, Ying Chang was wearing a black dragon robe and a black jade dragon crown, and sat firmly on the dragon chair. Three steps before the imperial case, Zhang Feizi walked over with a smile on his face, and took a blueprint in his hand. Put it on the imperial case.

Ying Chang picked up the drawing and looked at it curiously. When he saw the things on the drawing, he looked familiar, but he didn’t know what it was called. Anyway, he seemed to have seen it in his previous life. It was often used by people to haul heavy objects. It can push four to five hundred catties.

Of course, although he doesn't know the name of this thing, he still knows its usefulness. It is a vehicle specially used for hauling heavy objects. The vehicle is small, with a wheel in the middle, and a wooden frame on each side of the wheel. For placing heavy objects.

This kind of vehicle is easy to operate, it is very convenient to load and unload goods, and it can be tilted down. As long as the person pushing the cart is not distracted, it will generally not overturn.

"What's the use of this?" Ying Chang pretended not to understand, and didn't want others to know that he knew too much, otherwise he would be too monstrous.

Hearing Yingchang's question, Zhang Feizi immediately raised his hand with a smile and replied: "Your Majesty, this is called a unicycle. There are two handles in front of the cart, which are used to push it forward. The left and right sides of the wheel are fixed by wooden frames, which carry heavy loads." , one person can easily push five or six stones of grain!"

"Since this car has only one wheel, it is not affected by the narrow road, and even on dirt roads, it can also walk on the ground. It is most suitable for transporting grain!"

After hearing these words, Ying Chang nodded in agreement. This kind of wheelbarrow is indeed suitable for transporting food and can pass through narrow mountain roads.

"How's the food delivery going now?" Ying Chang looked at Zhang Feizi expressionlessly and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, when you appointed Xu Pin as the sixth-rank member Wailang and ordered him to be the food security officer, he had already started to design the wheelbarrow. After half a month, the design was finally completed. The speed of the Ordnance Department Soon, [-] unicycles were built in one day!"

"Because of the output of 5000 wheelbarrows a day, Xu Pin stipulated that [-] people should be a batch of grain escort teams. The first batch of grain escort teams has set off at dawn today, and each batch of grain escort teams will escort a total of [-] shi of grain!" Zhang Feizi turned respectfully Waist made a report.

Eighteen days have passed since Yingchang ordered the allocation of grain. Eighteen days later, the grain shipment began. It seemed very slow, but in fact it was already very fast. It is because the labor force in Xianyang City cannot meet the demand, and labor needs to be recruited from all over the place.

In [-] days, the Ministry of Household Affairs recruited [-] laborers. Fortunately, [-] to [-] laborers entered Xianyang every day, otherwise there would be a shortage of cars and people.

"That's right!" Ying Chang nodded in satisfaction, "This Xu Pin can complete a complete set of food escort plan in a short period of time, it is indeed a rare talent, if Xu Pin can successfully complete this escort task, he can reuse it!"

Joy appeared on Zhang Feizi's face, and he immediately bowed down and saluted, "Your Majesty's holy eyes know pearls, and you are also a wise king!"

Ying Chang smiled and said nothing to Zhang Feizi's flattery.

"Your Majesty, I have another matter to announce, but this matter is more sensitive. I don't know whether I should say it or not. If I do, please forgive me for my innocence!" Zhang Feizi's face straightened, and his expression suddenly became more serious. Ying Chang also involuntarily put away the smile on his face and turned it into a solemn look.

Ying Chang couldn't help raising his brows, a look of curiosity flashed across his eyes, sensitive matter?What's the matter?

"Speak, I forgive you for your innocence!" Ying Chang said with a more solemn expression.

He would like to hear what this so-called sensitive matter is!

Zhang Feizi took a deep breath, raised his hand solemnly and asked in salute: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the royal family has been the cornerstone of the stability of the empire. Now your majesty has four princes. If you don't make a prince the prince in time , to dispel the missing of other princes and concubines, and fear that the royal family will be in chaos in the future!"

On May 20st of the 100th year of Shengqin, Ming Yuan Tianyue of the sixth rank gave birth to a prince for Yingchang. He was the second prince of the Great Qin Empire. With meritorious service in giving birth, Yingchang named him a concubine of the third rank and enjoyed a salary of [-] taels of silver , to give the name of the second prince Ying Fang!

On May 20th of the 100th year of Shengqin, Zhao Mu, the sixth-rank Mingyi, gave birth to a prince for Yingchang. He was the third prince of the Great Qin Empire. With meritorious service in giving birth, Yingchang named him the third-rank concubine Ling and enjoyed a salary of [-] taels Baiyin, bestow the name of Yinghui on the Third Prince!

Chapter 611: The Past Is Secret!

On July 20rd of the [-]th year of Shengqin, Wei Shuyi, the fourth-rank concubine, gave birth to a prince for Yingchang. He was the fourth prince of the Great Qin Empire. The third in command of the harem, bestowing the name of the fourth prince Ying Yun!

When Ying Chang heard this sentence, he immediately felt embarrassed. In fact, when the three princes were born, he wanted to confer Yingjiang as the prince earlier, but the thought of conferring Yingjiang as the prince would make the other three sons feel uncomfortable. To be fair, every time I think of this, the matter of conferring the crown prince is aborted.

Ying Chang is a time traveler. He has no idea of ​​standing up for the elders and not the young. In his eyes, all sons are equal. No one is born with a must to get something. Everything needs to be fought for by themselves, including the sons in the Qilin Temple. Carved dragon throne.

"Yi Aiqing just saw, which prince can be canonized as the crown prince?" Ying Chang looked at Zhang Feizi expressionlessly and asked.

"Of course the eldest prince!" Zhang Feizi replied without thinking.

In Zhang Feizi's eyes, the Eldest Prince is the eldest son, born of the Empress, the eldest son who is well-deserved, and he is naturally the most qualified to be the crown prince. This is not only Zhang Feizi's opinion, but also the whole court's ministers!

"There are only you, my monarch and my ministers here, so I will give you an answer. I also want to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, but the eldest prince is still young, and it is impossible to see that he has the qualifications of an emperor. If the eldest prince is not suitable Prince Chu, the efforts of you and my ministers will be in vain!"

"I can't entrust the future of the empire to a prince who has not yet reached the crown, so let's not discuss the appointment of a prince for the time being!" Ying Chang had a calm demeanor, without any fluctuations in his expression, and it was impossible to see his inner thoughts from the surface!

"His Majesty..."

Ying Chang suddenly interrupted: "Needless to say, if nothing happens, you can step back!"

Zhang Feizi saw Ying Chang's resolute attitude, with a look of helplessness on his face, he immediately bowed down and saluted, "Your Excellency, leave!"

Ying Chang nodded.

Zhang Feizi turned around and walked away, and soon left the imperial study room, his figure disappeared from Ying Chang's sight, and not long after Zhang Feizi left the imperial study room, Pei Ji, the military guard of Xianyang Palace, walked into the hall with strides, and his hands Also holding a golden imperial decree.

When Pei Ji walked three steps in front of the imperial case, he stopped, bowed down solemnly, and reported: "Your Majesty, I just received two letters and an imperial decree from the front line!"

After Pei Ji finished speaking, he stepped forward and put the imperial edict in his hand on the imperial case. After putting down the imperial edict, he took out two letters from his bosom and placed the letters on the imperial case.

"Imperial decree?" Ying Chang was stunned for a moment when he saw the imperial decree on the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, the scout who delivered the letter and the edict said that Queen Mother Min committed suicide by taking poison. The hands of the corpse tightly grasped the edict and a letter, and the other letter was written by the Marquis of Shangyang!" Pei Ji looked solemn. He explained, and told Ying Chang what he knew.

"Go down first!" Ying Chang waved his hand expressionlessly.

"Obey!" Pei Ji bowed down respectfully in response, turned around and left the hall, and stood respectfully outside the hall!

After Pei Ji left, Ying Chang picked up one of the two letters, and there was a line of words written on the seal: Shangyang Houdu Changjing Qizuo!

Ying Chang skillfully opened the letter, took out a piece of letter paper from the letter, and then unfolded it to read. The contents of the letter paper are as follows:

Your Majesty is above, and the last general is below. Long live my emperor, long live, long live, Your Majesty, our army came to the city of Jinling on June 20, 26th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty. Before our army arrived at Jinling City, hundreds of thousands Zhao Jun has already approached Jinling City!

The commander-in-chief of the Zhao army is Zhao Cheng, the king of the Zhao Empire, the younger brother of the current Emperor Zhao, Zhao Cheng negotiated with the last general, and asked my Qin army to recognize the Jin land occupied by the Zhao army as Zhao land, so I let the Qin army accept the Jin court. Surrender, the general will always remember what His Majesty said, if you want to seize the nine counties of Jin and land, how can you admit that the land occupied by his army is Zhao soil!

The last general refused, and the Zhao army did not retreat. The Qin and Zhao armies confronted outside the south gate of Jinling City. After the confrontation for about an hour, King Wu led three thousand Xuanjia troops to rush over and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops with a crushing force. It even beheaded all the generals of Zhao Jun!

In the Battle of Jinling, our army suffered 13 casualties, killed 11 enemies, and captured [-] prisoners. It was a complete victory!

On June 20, the 27th year of Shengqin, the last general accepted the surrender of the whole country from the Jin court on behalf of the Qin court, and when the last general accepted the surrender, the Empress Dowager Min committed suicide by taking poison. Listening to the words of the military guards around Xianyang Palace who were present , the dead body of Empress Dowager Min, clutching a letter and an imperial decree tightly, no one has read the letter and imperial decree, including the last general and King Wu!

After reading the contents of the letter paper, Ying Chang felt very mixed feelings, some were happy and some were disappointed. What was happy was that the Jin Empire surrendered. , Min Qing committed suicide by taking poison!

Originally, Ying Chang should be happy when she committed suicide by taking poison, but he couldn't!

Neither sad nor happy!

"Could it be that I have encountered so many kinds of injustice, and I still have a mother-child relationship in my heart?" Ying Chang himself thought he was ridiculous, it was so ridiculous, how soft his heart was, why didn't he realize it before.

Ying Chang put down the letter written by Du Changjing, and looked at another letter. He really wanted to burn this letter with a torch, and let everything disappear into the world following Min Qing's life, but there was a desire to move in his heart. Heart, couldn't help reaching out to pick it up.

There is not a single word on the cover of this letter, but Ying Chang knew that it was written by Min Qing to herself.

Ying Chang silently opened the letter, took out a piece of letter paper, and unfolded it to read. The contents of the letter paper are as follows:

Chang'er, by the time you read this letter, your mother's soul has returned to the earth, and your mother knows that you hate your mother to the bone, hate your mother and kill your father, your loyal ministers, your good generals, and make your Great Qin a mess. The queen mother is guilty, the sin is unforgivable, and even a hundred deaths cannot repay the sin!

But you know what?Everything that the queen mother does is all thanks to your father. In the first year of Qin Heng, your mother married into the Qin Palace, and your father named your mother a queen. Your father is a gentle and gentle emperor with excellent martial arts skills.

In the eyes of your mother, your father is a perfect husband. You can do anything for your mother, and your mother is willing to do anything for your father. In the second year of Qin Heng, your mother gave birth to you, and your father named you for the prince

PS: "I'm asking for recommendation tickets, asking for monthly tickets, asking for rewards, asking for full reservations, and asking for four daily requests. I hope you will support me a lot!"

Chapter 612 Don't Care!

At that time, the queen mother was obsessed with the emperor father. What your father said and what the mother did, could disappoint and hurt the mother. Your father's gentleness and love for his wife in front of the mother were all acting. It's a lie, it's all a disguise

The reason why he did this was just to draw out the defense of the Great Jin Empire at Huangshiguan and the distribution of the troops of the Great Jin Empire from his mother's mouth. He wanted to destroy the Great Jin and your mother's mother country in one go. There is one more thing besides that let the mother grieve

This matter is, when his plan to destroy the Jin Dynasty officially begins, he will not only abolish the queen mother's position, but also abolish you, the prince, and send you and my mother and son to Hexi. At the beginning of the conspiracy, the mother's heart is dead

In the seventh year of Qin Heng, your father's seven-year plan to destroy the Jin Dynasty was finally ready to start, but he never thought that the queen, who was usually very obedient to him, would kill him quietly, and even imitate his handwriting, writing A will and burial list

You may have heard the content of the will when you ascended the throne in the Qilin Palace. Yes, it was not written by your father, it was written by your mother. The names on the burial register are all those who participated in the plan to destroy the Jin Dynasty , you also saw it with your own eyes back then, the eunuchs killed at your father's funeral were all cronies of your father and participants in the plan to destroy the Jin Dynasty

Of course, your mother's queen is not so powerful. The mother's greatest help is Wei Huai. Wei Huai's identity is true, and he is indeed the mother's relative. When did you discover your father's conspiracy?

God treats the queen mother well, and finally let the queen mother kill this heartless person with her own hands, and saved the crisis of Dajin. The queen mother admitted that the alliance with the Jin court to plot Qin to steal Qin and destroy Qin was the queen mother's revenge against your father. He died It's really too cheap, even now, the queen mother can't wait to smash it to ashes

The queen mother has never failed anyone in this life, but you, you are a poor child, you should have been loved by the queen mother, but the queen mother was dazzled by hatred, and looked at you coldly because of your surname Ying, but the queen mother promised, The queen mother never wanted to kill you, she just wanted to destroy the empire that made her sad, and take you to Jinling to enjoy the glory, Chang Er, the queen mother is sorry for you, she didn't consider your feelings, I'm sorry...

"call!"

Yingchang took a long breath, and murmured to himself with a wry smile: "You really won't let me go even if you die, and if you die, you have to make me feel that the Jin Empire is the victim, but that's not important Now, everything will go with the wind!"

After finishing speaking, the letter paper in Ying Chang's hand was like a dried leaf. With a light pinch, it turned into powder and scattered around, completely disappearing!

Ying Chang immediately picked up the imperial decree on the imperial case. This imperial decree looked a bit old, apparently a bit old, and presumably it should be the imperial decree of Emperor Qin Heng, that is, the era of Ying Chang's father.

Yingchang read the imperial decree unhurriedly. The content of the imperial decree is the appointment decree, and there is also the appointment of Du Yi. He was killed by the Queen Mother Min.

Ying Chang did not doubt the authenticity of this imperial decree, because he had seen the handwriting of Emperor Qin Heng, and there were many things left by Emperor Qin Heng in the imperial study room. Written by Qin Hengdi.

As for why there is no doubt that Min Qing imitated it, it is naturally proved by the seal of Emperor Qin. Although Min Qing was also in power, it is not difficult to get a seal of Emperor Qin, but you must know that since the palace change in the seventh year of Sheng Qin, she has not Opportunity stamped.

Unless this imperial decree was written by Min Qing when she was in power, it is completely ruled out that it is a false imperial decree, but it is impossible for her to write such an imperial decree when she was in power. Trust her letter.

Could it be that she could figure out what happened later, knowing that one day she would have to clarify herself?So wrote a false imperial decree as evidence?Impossible, if she could really figure it out, Ying Chang would not be sitting in the current position.

What Min Qing said is true!

But truth or falsehood is not important to Ying Chang, and he doesn't care if it's true or false, whether it's true or false, it doesn't matter!

The imperial decree in Ying Chang's hand was also like the letter paper just now, it turned into a dry leaf, and when it was pinched lightly, it turned into powder and disappeared without a trace!

"Pei Ji!" Ying Chang called softly!

Pei Ji, who was guarding outside the hall, heard the call, and hurried into the hall. When he saw that an imperial decree and a letter were missing from the imperial case, his eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't care, let alone dared to ask more questions.

"I'm here, what's your majesty's order?" Pei Ji bowed down respectfully and answered.

"Send people to summon the six ministers into the palace. I have important matters to discuss with them!" Ying Chang said, looking at Pei Ji expressionlessly.

The Jin Empire has surrendered, and it's time for the Qin court to get busy!

"Abiding by the order!" Pei Ji replied respectfully, then turned around and walked away, calling the six Xianyang Palace military guards under his command to inform the six ministers.

The efficiency of the military guards in Xianyang Palace was very high. After only one incense stick, the six ministers came to the imperial study one after another, and Ying Chang was not kept waiting.
