The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"Now I have three plans. The first plan is to form a new army and increase the strength of the Great Qin army, so as to prepare for the subsequent recapture of lost territory and the capture of the city. The second plan is to clean up the officialdom in Shangyang County, Nanfeng County, and Hexi County. Dismount all. The third plan is to subdue the [-] troops in Xiguan, consolidate the imperial power, and rule the world. The fourth plan is to encourage the people to farm and cultivate, and try their best to increase the grain production of Daqin. As long as there is food, the people will not Hungry, if the people are not hungry, there won't be so many bandits everywhere!" Ying Chang's tone was full of majesty, with a tendency to swallow mountains and rivers with anger!

After listening to these words, all the ministers showed admiration, and they all agreed with Yingchang's views and plans very much. will rise!

"Your Majesty is holy!" All the ministers shouted in unison from the bottom of their hearts, with a tacit understanding. This sentence of Your Majesty's holy is definitely not superficial!

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, how should Your Majesty carry out the plan, step by step, or all at once?" Chang Zifei bent down and asked with a very respectful expression.

"Forming a new army is the top priority at the moment. The [-] troops in Xiguan are an unstable factor and must be stabilized as soon as possible. I think these two plans will be carried out at the same time. As for encouraging the people to farm and purging the officialdom of the three counties, we can wait for two After the plan is completed, we will carry out purge and encouragement!" Ying Chang said in a solemn tone.

In fact, Ying often doesn't want to take such a big step all at once, and wants to go step by step, but he doesn't have much time, and paper can't contain the fire. After a month, the Jin Empire will notice it, and in two months, Xiguan They will also detect abnormalities, so they must regain control of the [-] troops in Xiguan as soon as possible!

"Your Majesty, to form a new army, people can be selected from the capital, but how to get horses and heavy armor?" Du Changjing couldn't help frowning.

"Don't I have a horse farm in Daqin?" Yingchang frowned slightly.

Hearing this, Yang Ze took a small step forward and bent over to report to Ying Chang: "I want to report to you, Your Majesty, my Daqin horse farms are all in Hebei County, but Hebei County has been ceded to the Jin Empire, and there is no horse source." !"

"Your Majesty, war horses can be purchased from the Qiang people!" Jarrow said aloud.

"The Qiang people? The Qiang people have a deep hatred with us, Great Qin. How could they sell us war horses!" Du Changjing frowned, and his tone was puzzled.

The Great Qin and the Qiang have been hostile to each other for hundreds of years, and the wars between the two have reached hundreds of battles. As a result, the Qin people did not sell grain to the Qiang, and the Qiang did not sell war horses to the Qin.

"Why not? Between countries, there is no hatred at all, only interests. As long as our price is high enough, they will definitely sell it. Jia Aiqing, I will leave this matter to you. Can you do it?" Ying Chang asked. Said expressionlessly.

"I wonder how many war horses Your Majesty wants to buy?" Jarrow asked solemnly.

"At least [-] horses, there is no cap, remember, I want the best horses!" Ying Chang said solemnly.

War horses are the most critical point in training heavy cavalry. Only good war horses can gallop hundreds of catties on their shoulders.

"The minister accepts the order!" Jarrow responded without hesitation!

As long as he has money, Jarrow has the confidence to buy back the best quality horses!

"Okay, let's put aside the matter of horses for now, and let's talk about the matter of heavy armor. Is there a department in the imperial court that specializes in making weapons and armor?" Ying Chang began to ask the next question.

Hearing this, Yang Ze immediately raised his hand and saluted, and replied: "My Majesty, the department that manufactures weapons and armor is called the Department of Ordnance, and it belongs to the Ministry of War!"

"That's good, let me ask you, how long does it take to build a pair of heavy armor?" Ying Chang asked again.

"The Ordnance Department has never made heavy armor. I only know that it takes several blacksmiths four or five days to make a pair of chain mail. Based on this calculation, a pair of heavy armor should require ten blacksmiths. It takes more than ten days to create a pair!" Yang Ze replied respectfully.

Ying Chang was not surprised after hearing this. With the level of alchemy in this different world, it takes repeated training and cooling to create a pair of heavy armor. It takes more than ten days to create a pair of heavy armor. It is very normal, otherwise heavy cavalry It will not be so scarce!

"How many blacksmiths are there in the Ordnance Department?" Yingchang asked again. Although it is difficult to build heavy armor, Yingchang still has to build it. Anyway, heavy cavalry must be produced.

"About sixty or so!" Yang Ze gave an approximation. He himself did not know how many blacksmiths there were in the Ordnance Department.

"Too few. After the court is over, you immediately fill all the blacksmiths in Xianyang City into the Ordnance Department to make heavy armor. If any blacksmiths do not go, you tell them that it is my will. If you don't go, you have to go." Go, and enter the Ordnance Department to build heavy armor. If you have money, you will receive two taels of silver a month. All the materials used by the Ordnance Department will be reimbursed by the Ministry of Accounts. You should watch this matter yourself and do your best for me!" Ying Chang looked at Looking straight at Yang Zedao.

"I obey the order!" Yang Ze responded immediately.

Yingchang looked at Du Changjing, and said in a neutral tone: "General Du, what questions do you have now?"

"Your Majesty has already made arrangements, and there is no problem with the final general!" Du Changjing replied respectfully.

"Okay!" Yingchang nodded, and then said to Du Changjing: "Next, you go to the capital to select people. If there are not enough people, you can recruit soldiers in Xianyang City, and then start training. I will arrange for King Wu to go with you. , can you?"

Du Changjing was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately bent down to compose and replied: "It is best to have King Wu together!"

"Ah Qi, what do you think?" Ying Chang looked at Bai Qi with a smile and asked.

"I listen to you!" Bai Qi nodded and said.

Yingchang looked around at everyone, and then said: "The formation of the heavy cavalry has been arranged. Next, let's talk about the next thing, which is the matter of the [-] troops in Xiguan. Dear friends, what can you do? The soldiers are bloodless!" Take back control of the [-] troops in Xiguan?"

"There will be a way in the end!"

As soon as Yingchang finished speaking, Du Changjing immediately stood up and said.

"What way?" Ying Chang looked at Du Changjing expectantly, and Chang Zifei and the other three also looked at him expectantly.

Chapter 67 Xiguan Hopeful!

"The predecessor of the [-] army in Xiguan was the Yang family army. Most of the generals in Xiguan were also subordinates of General Yang and the two brothers of the Yang family. Not only the generals, but also the soldiers of the Yang family army were very supportive of the Yang family, especially Xiguan. The former commander of Xiguan was just Yang Hu, although the three tigers of the Yang family were killed and lost the control of the Yang family army, the general believes that as long as Yang Long and Yang Hu are sent to Xiguan, they will be able to win Xiguan without bloodshed!" Du Changjing replied solemnly .

"Call Yang Hu and Yang Long into the palace immediately!" Ying Chang shouted impatiently.

"Your Majesty, people have been waiting outside the palace for a long time. I will make up my own mind at the end of the day. When I was in court, I sent people to invite them into the palace!" After Du Changjing finished speaking, he couldn't help lowering his head, worried that Ying Chang would not like it. He made his own way!

"It doesn't matter, it's just what I want!" Ying Chang said disapprovingly, and then said immediately; "Xuan Yanglong and Yang Hu see you!"

As long as things are done well, Yingchang doesn't care about making his own decisions!

Du Changjing was overjoyed immediately, then turned around and shouted outside the hall: "Yang Long! Yang Hu! Your Majesty is calling you!"

The voice fell, and two men about 30 years old walked in outside the hall, still wearing military uniforms. Yingchang had seen Yang Long and Yang Hu in the past, and recognized them at a glance, but they were much more vicissitudes than before. It seems that these years Their days were not easy.

Yang Long and Yang Hu walked into the Qilin Hall, while looking at the majestic Ying Chang on the dragon chair, their hearts were trembling at this moment.

Seven years, seven years later, the Demon Empress finally fell, and His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor finally participated in politics!

At this moment, the two brothers really wanted to cry, and wanted to cry out all the grievances they had suffered in the past seven years, but when they thought that today was the first time to meet Ying Chang formally, and they could not leave a bad influence, the grievances of the past seven years , It also allowed them to grow a lot and understand a lot of right and wrong.

Yang Long and Yang Hu walked to the center of the hall, knelt down on one knee, shouted respectfully and excitedly to Ying Chang: "The last general Yang Hu (Yang Long) pays homage to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live! !"

Yingchang quickly got up from the dragon chair, quickly walked down the high platform, walked to the two brothers Yang Long and Yang Hu, and personally stretched out his hands to help them up. He raised his hand and wiped his tears with the skirt of his shirt.

"Ah!" Ying Chang sighed softly, and said softly to the two brothers with apology on his face: "Over the years, the two generals have been wronged. I will be imprisoned for no reason, and I will die in depression. Whenever I think of this, I will be extremely sad!"

As Yingchang talked, his eyes couldn't help turning red...

"Your Majesty must not be like this. If you don't do this, you will blame the damned demon queen!" Yang Long said with moist eyes and a choked tone.

"Your Majesty, this matter has passed. Today we two brothers came here to serve His Majesty. If you have something to do, just give orders. Even if you go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire, the last general Yang Hu will never frown!" Yang Hu Said sonorously.

The demon queen was imprisoned, Wei Huai was dead, and Yang Hu was relieved. Now he and Yang Long only want to serve Yingchang, help Yingchang regain control of the [-] troops in Xiguan, and restore the Yang family!

"Daqin has the Yang brothers, so why not be unhappy, two generals, I ask you, if you return to Xiguan, can you be sure to regain the military power?" Ying Chang looked at the two Yang brothers expectantly.

Yang Long and Yang Hu looked at each other, smiled confidently, and immediately shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Why is Yang Jiajun called Yang Jiajun?Because this is an army built by the ancestors of the Yang family, and this army has been controlled by the Yang family for more than 300 years. The soldiers of the Yang family have long been deeply rooted in the Yang family. Yes, in other words, sometimes the emperor's decree is not as effective as a word from the Commander-in-Chief of the Yang family.

If it weren't for the full trust of the Qin emperors in the Yang family, families like the Yang family would have been slaughtered long ago. It is also because the Qin emperors of the past dynasties have full of trust in the Yang family that the Yang family would swear to be loyal to the king and serve the country. I will report it to the soldiers of the country!

"Okay, okay, that's really great. As long as Xiguan is under control, I won't worry about what happened last night. I can also issue an order to rehabilitate the Du family and the Yang family, cleanse the grievances of the two families, and let the people of Daqin know , The Du family and the Yang family have never had two hearts, and I can take it for granted and regain the lost ground!" Ying Chang said excitedly with a smile on his face.

Not only is Ying very excited, but everyone present is very excited except Bai Qi. As long as Xiguan is under control, there is nothing to be afraid of. Whoever dares to jump in Daqin will directly send troops to suppress it. In other words, as long as Xiguan is under control, Daqin will be able to In a short period of time, you will be safe and worry-free, you can purge the officialdom of Daqin as much as you want, and you can also take advantage of this time to train the heavy cavalry!

As for the [-] garrisons at Yangguan, Yingchang wasn't worried at all, he now has [-] troops in his hand!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, there is hope in Xiguan!" All the officials shouted in unison.

Yingchang turned around and walked back to the high platform, sat on the dragon chair, looked at Yang Hu and Yang Long, and then shouted: "Yang Hu, I will make you the third-rank general left, Yang Long, I will make you the third-rank general right, later I have written an imperial decree that you will take over the defense of Xiguan, remember, if Xiao Lai and Luo Ming resist, they will be killed!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Yang Hu Yang Long shouted with a very respectful face!

"Get up, now that the affairs of Xiguan have been arranged, let's talk about another thing, which is to fill the vacancy of the court. Speaking of the vacancy of the court, Chang Xiang, didn't I ask you to bring Chang Qing into the palace last night? Why don't you see him?" Ying Chang suddenly thought of Chang Qing who specialized in investigating corrupt officials.

Yang Hu and Yang Long retreated to the right and stood behind Du Changjing. Chang Zifei immediately replied in embarrassment when he heard the words; I don't know where to go, and I can't find him in a short time, please give me three days, and I will definitely bring the dog into the palace to meet your majesty!"

After hearing these words, Ying Chang felt a little dumbfounded in his heart. In this way, he was to blame for this matter, after all, he was the one who let Chang Zifei sell officials and peddle nobles to embezzle.

"If that's the case, let's not talk about him. Let's talk about the vacancy of the court first. Look, there are not even ten people in such a big Qilin Palace, including Zhen. With such a vacancy, the court cannot operate. Chang Xiang, I wonder if you have anyone to recommend?" Ying Chang asked.

"This...."

Chang Zifei fell silent, thought for a while, then raised his head to look at Ying Chang and replied, "Your Majesty, I haven't found a candidate yet, but Your Majesty will give me some time, and I will do my best to use my talents and dig out the bottom layer. Clean officials!"

Chapter 68 A thousand wastes are waiting to be done!

"Okay!" Yingchang nodded helplessly, and then said immediately: "I have finished what I want to say, what do you have to say?"

.......

The Qilin Hall became quiet, and the needles could stop.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce!" Chang Zifei seemed to have thought of something, and said hastily.

Everyone looked at Chang Zifei, thinking, isn't the story almost the same?Why is there something else?

"Quasi-playing!" Ying Chang replied indifferently.

"Your Majesty, I just thought of something. This matter is of great importance, far more important than Xiguan, and that is Yangguan!" Chang Zifei wrote a report with a serious expression.

"Yangguan?" Ying Chang frowned slightly, a little puzzled and said: "Yangguan has only [-] troops, and I have [-] in my hand, plus General Hussars, King Wu, Yang Long, and Yang Hu, I'm still afraid." Can't he succeed?"

"Your Majesty, don't be fooled by appearances. Although the [-] troops stationed at Yangguan is nothing to fear, Yangguan is the gateway of Shangyang County and also the gateway of Daqin. There are [-] Jin troops stationed [-] miles east of Yangguan. Think about it, Your Majesty, if Zhang Wu knew what happened last night, would he join the Jin army in a panic? Would he give up Yangguan? Once the Yangguan is lost, the Jin army will come to the city of Xianyang. The country may be in danger of being destroyed!" Chang Zifei said with a worried expression.

After hearing these words, all the officials in the hall frowned, feeling a serious threat, and Ying Chang frowned even more.

"What does Chang Xiang mean?" Ying Chang asked hesitantly.

"Immediately send someone to take back the control of Yangguan, and hold Yangguan firmly in our own hands, that's the only way to be safe!" Chang Zifei suggested solemnly.

"But I have no one to use now. The two Yang brothers need to go to Xiguan, and General Du and King Wu also need to train heavy cavalry..." Ying Chang stopped here, lost in thought, after about a few breaths , Yingchang's face straightened, and he said in a full-fledged manner: "I will lead the soldiers myself!"

The people under him are all exhausted, so they can only do it by themselves. There is no other way to do it. You can't send Chang Zifei who has no martial arts. Isn't he going to give away his head?Giving away the head is light, the fear is that the secret of last night will be revealed in advance.

"You were injured yesterday, so it's not appropriate to leave, leave this to me!"

Bai Qi, who had few words, suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Who is this person, Brother Changjing, is this the god you mentioned?" Yang Long asked curiously.

"It looks a bit strange, is he wearing heavy armor or something?" Yang Hu also asked very curiously.

Du Changjing moved back, and said with admiration in his tone: "This man is called Bai Qi, His Majesty is sworn brother. We almost died at the hands of the Demon Queen last night. How many people were killed, and Wei Huai was strangled to death, and everyone was suppressed, if it weren't for Bai Qi, you might have heard the news of my death in the Yang Mansion today!"

"Hiss!" Yang Long and Yang Hu gasped, their faces full of shock.

"Ah Qi, this time we may launch a war with Zhang Wu. This is not a fight for personal power, you have to think about it!" Ying Chang said with some worry.

"It's okay, isn't there 3 people on the opposite side? You give me [-] cavalry, counting the travel time, I promise, within five days, I will come to see you with Zhang Wu's head!" Bai Qi's tone was calm, as if there was no future at all. Zhang Wu put it in his eyes and looked very proud.

"Okay!" Yingchang did not hesitate, chose to believe in Bai Qi, and then looked at Du Changjing and said, "General Du, you will go to the capital camp to pick up three thousand cavalry to King Wu later, and take back the control of Yangguan. Give it to King Wu!"

"Obey!" Du Changjing also chose to believe in Bai Qi!

"Wait first, I will draw up the order first!"

After Yingchang finished speaking, he picked up a brush and wrote on a blank imperial decree. After writing one, he wrote another one. After writing three sheets, he picked up the seal of Emperor Qin and stamped it under the three imperial decrees.

"Yang Ze, this is yours!"

Yingchang rolled up an imperial decree and called out to Yang Ze.

Hearing the words, Yang Ze immediately stepped up to the high platform, received the imperial decree, and unfolded it. The content of the imperial decree was to forcibly recruit the blacksmiths of Xianyang City. With the imperial decree, those blacksmiths would not dare to resist. Besides, there was no need for them to resist. It's not that they don't give money or food.

Yang Ze rolled up the edict after reading it, and returned to his seat respectfully.

"Yang Hu, this is yours!" Yingchang rolled up another imperial decree and called out to Yang Hu.

Yang Hu quickly stepped up to the high platform, took the imperial decree and unfolded it. The content of the imperial decree was to change the commander of Xiguan and canonize Yang Hu and Yang Long as the left and right generals.

After watching it, Yang Hu rolled up like Yang Ze, and returned to his seat respectfully.

"Ah Qi, this is yours!" Yingchang rolled up another imperial decree, and upon hearing this, Bai Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the direction of Yingchang. Immediately, the imperial decree in Yingchang's hand flew straight away as if attracted by a magnet. To Bai Qi's hands.

After Bai Qi grasped the imperial decree, he didn't look at it like Yang Hu and Yang Ze. To him, it doesn't matter whether there is an imperial edict or not. Anyway, whoever dares to resist at that time can just kill him directly. There is no such thing as fancy.

Yingchang looked at the empty hands and smiled helplessly.

"Jia Aiqing, you don't need the imperial decree. Go to the household department to get the money by yourself, and just record it in the account book. After getting the money, immediately take people to the Qiang territory. You must buy the horse back for me within four months!" Win Chang said to Jarrow with a solemn expression.

"I obey the order!" Jarrow replied with a very respectful expression.

"Let's go back to the court, and each do his own business!" Ying Chang waved his hand.

"Your Majesty will be sent off respectfully!" All the ministers knelt down and sent them off respectfully.

After the words fell, Ying Chang got up from the dragon chair, turned around and walked down the high platform, and left from the Qilin apse.

After Yingchang left, Du Changjing and Bai Qi went together to the capital camp outside the city. Yang Ze and Jia Luo went together. Taking the money to buy horses, Yang Hu and Yang Long went to Xiguan together. It has to be said that since Jia Luo had to pass through Xiguan to go to the Qiang territory, Yang Long, Yang Hu, and Jia Luo went along the same way.

Chang Zifei went home alone, ready to find honest officials to fill the vacant positions in the court.

After Yingchang ascended the throne, the Great Qin Empire was waiting to be rejuvenated, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were busier than the other, but Yingchang was relatively free. There was no other way. Things were done by the people below. Could he not be free?

Changfu!

At the gate of Chang Mansion, Chang Zifei's carriage stopped. As soon as the carriage stopped, Chang Manor housekeeper Lao Fang hurried over and helped Chang Zifei get off the carriage. After Chang Zifei got off the carriage, Lao Fang said softly : "Master, the Second Young Master is here!"
