The Jagged Empire of Daqin

The rest of the generals also began to flatter, Zheng Longshuang, who was praised, went to heaven, and began to dream of his emperor's dream.

After a period of time, Zheng Long led Wu Neng, Niu Ba, and a hundred guards to leave Xinyang City, all the way north, towards Qin Bailan's camp, while Wang Shoucheng and Ma Yu guarded Changfu Commandery and Jinchang County.

As the most powerful force in the Great Yan Empire, Zheng Long had countless eyes staring at him all the time. Therefore, the news that he left Xinyang City with two generals quickly spread to the ears of princes and princes everywhere. , Constantly began to speculate on Zheng Long's purpose.

Ten days later, at the beginning of March in the 24th year of Shengqin, the Qin Bailan camp was a hundred miles north of the Great Wall of Yanbailan!

Today should be the time to officially attack Yan, but neither the Qingkou Camp nor the Surabaya Camp, nor the Qin Bailan Camp and the Qin Ning Tower Camp, showed any signs of mobilization. The reason is simple. The emperor hasn't come yet, oh no, it should be said, he just arrived!

Originally Qin Bailan's camp had [-] tents, but now there are nearly [-] tents, the area of ​​the camp has doubled in size, and the end of the camp cannot be seen at a glance!

In the commander's tent located in the center of the camp, Changjing, the Marquis of Shangyang; The four generals who waited for one stood on the left side of the tent, Pei Ji, the chief of the military guards of Xianyang Palace and the commander of the imperial guards, and Bai Qi, the king of Wu, stood on the right side of the tent, and above the head, sat the Great Qin Emperor Yingchang!

It took a month, and Ying Chang finally led his army to arrive at midnight. After arriving at the Bailan camp, he took a short rest until dawn. At dawn, Ying Chang summoned generals of rank nine or above to command the camp In discussing matters, the four generals Sejong, Qian Guangxiao, Xiao Xiong, and Shao Junguang are all new faces to Ying Chang, and they were all generals who were promoted in the canonization ceremony three years ago.

"Before I came, did you all discuss the specific strategy to defeat Yan?" Ying Chang, who was sitting in the commander's seat, looked at the generals expressionlessly and asked.

Upon hearing this, Du Changjing bowed down respectfully and wrote a report: "I would like to inform your majesty, before your majesty's future, the last general has discussed with the generals about cutting down swallows, and finally came up with three strategies for cutting down swallows!"

"Let's hear it!" Ying Chang said.

"The first strategy is to recruit security first!"

"The Yan Empire has survived in name only. It is not the Yan court that decides, but princes from all over the world. Some of these princes come from famous families, and some come from ordinary people. Whether it is the former or the latter, they are all rebellious officials and thieves who are mainly self-interested. This kind of enemy, if given some benefits, can be used by our Qin army!"

"The second strategy is to differentiate and instigate!"

"The princes and princes of the Yan Empire have deep grievances, and they all have a wolf ambition. If my Qin army supports one or two of them, let them attack the other princes and make them kill each other, and my Qin army will sit back and enjoy the success. It is the so-called snipe and clam confrontation. The fisherman reaps the rewards!"

"The third strategy is to start a full-scale war!"

"The four battalions of Surabaya, Qingkou, Bailan, and Ningta attacked at the same time, with the momentum of destroying the princes of all places, and capturing Yanjiang Mountain at the fastest speed. This strategy is the most effective. But the casualties are estimated to be the greatest!"

Du Changjing spoke out the three strategies with a solemn expression and explained them in detail.

Ying Chang nodded in satisfaction, "The three strategies mentioned by General Du are all good, and they are all the best strategies. Which strategy does Changjing plan to choose?"

"Your Majesty is here, the last general dares not make decisions, and I ask Your Majesty to rule!" Du Changjing bowed and shouted.

"Please Your Majesty to rule!!"

Sejong, Qian Guangxiao, Shao Junguang, and Xiao Xiong bowed down and shouted in unison with solemn expressions.

"If you choose to recruit, how sure are you? What are you going to offer as a condition for recruiting?" Ying Chang asked calmly.

"Your Majesty has to decide the conditions!" Du Changjing replied.

Ying Chang fell silent, with a pensive look on his brows. After a moment of contemplation, he said: "I can't give them too good conditions. At most, I can seal them some idle jobs without authority, and guarantee their prosperity and wealth for a lifetime. As for military power, Power, don’t even think about it, I won’t give it to you!”

The officials of the Great Qin are clean and honest, and they are all loyal ministers and good generals based on the interests of the country. In other words, the Great Qin is a good pot of porridge, and these princes of the Yan Empire are rat feces. Ying Chang will never let a few rat feces fall into this pot of good porridge in.

"According to the conditions given by His Majesty just now, there is only a [-]% certainty of recruiting security!" Du Changjing replied blankly.

"Then let's not talk about recruiting security, but talk about differentiation and instigation. How sure can we be if we are divided and instigated?" Ying Chang continued to ask.

"I am [-]% sure, but it is difficult to see the results in a short period of time. It will take at least three years to see the results!" Du Changjing answered truthfully.

Differentiation and instigation are not so easy to instigate. After all, those princes are not fools, and except for Zheng Long, the strength of the other princes is about the same. Even if they are really instigated by the Qin army to kill each other, it will definitely take several years to decide the winner. .

"In three years, I have been able to destroy the Yan Empire inside and out three times. It seems that we still choose to go to war in an all-out way, and destroy all the forces of the Yan Empire as quickly as possible!" Ying Chang finally chose to go to war in an all-out way.

How many years can a person live? Even Ying Chang, who is in a perfect state, can only live for 100 years. Even if Ying Chang can live for 100 years, he has already used up 30 years, and only 70 years are left. It will take three years for the Yan Empire, three years for the ruling and appeasement, and six years for the Yan Empire to be completely ruled.

This is still a smooth situation, if it is not smooth, it will take ten years, ten years to destroy a Yan Empire, ten years to destroy a Zhao Empire, how many empires can he destroy in a lifetime?Can you complete the great cause of unifying the world with your own hands?

He can't wait!

"Report!"

In vain at this moment, an urgent call came from outside the tent.

"Come in!" Ying Chang shouted lightly!

As soon as the words fell, a soldier of the Qin army in black fish scale armor opened the curtain and walked into the tent. When the soldier reached the center of the big tent, he stopped and knelt down on one knee respectfully to make a report. Report: "His Majesty, a group of armored cavalry appeared outside the camp with the banner of Zheng. The person who came called himself Zheng Long and wanted to see His Majesty!"

"What did you say?" Ying Chang was slightly taken aback, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

The rest of the generals were also stunned for a moment, and all looked at the soldier who came to report. Like Ying Chang, they all thought they heard it wrong.

"Return to Your Majesty, you heard correctly, there is indeed a person outside the camp who calls himself Zheng Long and wants to see His Majesty!" The soldiers who came to report repeated the report again.

All the generals looked at each other, and they could all see the doubt flashing in each other's eyes.

The corners of Ying Chang's mouth rose slightly, showing a hint of a smile: "It's really interesting, let them in!"

"As ordered!"

The soldiers got up from the ground and quickly turned around to leave. After about half a stick of incense, the curtain of the handsome tent was lifted again, and a middle-aged man in a black brocade robe led two followers in black armor. into the account.

The former is naturally King Zheng Zheng Long, while the latter is Wu Neng and Niu Ba. Originally, Wu Neng and Niu Ba carried their own weapons, but when they entered the camp, they were knocked down by the soldiers of the Qin army guarding outside the camp. Zheng Long His sword was also confiscated.

For this moment, Zheng Long even understood and cooperated very well. After all, the person he wants to meet is not an ordinary person, but the most honorable emperor of the Great Qin Empire!

When Zheng Long, Wu Neng, and Niu Ba walked into the handsome tent, they immediately felt a powerful imperial power and a palpitating evil spirit. The former came from Ying Chang, and the latter came from Bai Qi!

"Foreign minister Zheng Long, pay homage to His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor!" Zheng Long bowed in awe and saluted.

"Foreign minister Wu Neng Niu Ba, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Qin!" Wu Neng and Niu Ba raised their hands in salute one after another.

Although the Great Yan court existed in name only, Zheng Long, Wu Neng, and Niu Ba were still subjects of the Great Yan Empire, so there was no problem calling themselves foreign ministers.

Ying Chang looked at the three of them carefully, and the generals in the account also looked at the three of them brazenly. However, Zheng Long, Wu Neng, and Niu Ba felt uncomfortable. After all, since they became powerful, they never dared to look at them so brazenly again. , only they look at others unscrupulously.

No one can adapt to the sudden change of identity.

Ying Chang looked at Zheng Long. Due to Ying Chang's majesty, Zheng Long didn't dare to look at him. He lowered his head slightly involuntarily, and only heard Ying Chang ask: "Are you the famous King Zheng Zheng Long?"

Zheng Long heard the words, and immediately wrote back: "Speaking of famous names, His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor is the real famous person. In the world of Kyushu, who doesn't know Your Highness? Foreign ministers and Your Highness are in the same tent, but it's just the light of candles and the bright moon. Fight for glory!"

"Haha!" Ying Chang couldn't help laughing, feeling very comfortable in his heart.

"You are quite good at talking!" Ying Chang said with a smile on his face.

"As long as His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor likes it." Zheng Long said with a sneer.

Ying Chang smiled again, then turned his eyes to Wu Neng and Niu Ba, was silent for a while, and then said: "I heard that you have four capable generals under King Zheng, who are known as the Four King Kongs. Presumably these two Is it two of them?"

"Your Majesty knows people with insight, and the foreign ministers admire them. The two of them are the two capable generals under the foreign ministers. This is Wu Neng, who is good at using spears. The person he respects the most in his life is General Shangyang Houdu of the Great Qin Dynasty. This His name is Niuba, he is born with supernatural power, he is good at wielding a giant axe, and sweeps away thousands of troops like a strong wind sweeping through the clouds!" Zheng Long first patted a rainbow fart, and then introduced Wu Neng and Niuba.

Hearing Zheng Long's words, all the generals in the tent and even Ying Chang couldn't help but look at Du Changjing, as if to ask again, what is the mood of a sudden admirer?But Du Changjing himself looked at Wu Neng, and Wu Neng also subconsciously looked at Du Changjing.

The four eyes met, making Du Changjing feel the fighting spirit from the opponent.

interesting!

Du Changjing withdrew his gaze, and Wu Neng also withdrew his gaze.

"Your Excellency is really a cloud of masters, tell me, why don't you stay in Xinyang City, why did you come to see me? Could it be that Your Excellency is here to fight? Oh no, no, Your Excellency is the majestic Prince Zheng, sitting on a million dollars Dajun, there is no need to bother Your Excellency to do this kind of thing in the afternoon!" Ying Chang looked at Zheng Long with a half-smile and said with a smile.

Zheng Long smiled sheepishly, and said straight to the point: "How dare foreign ministers declare war, foreign ministers are here to surrender!"

"surrender?"

Ying Chang, Bai Qi, Du Changjing and other generals were taken aback for a moment!

"Did I hear you right?"

Ying Chang was taken aback, and asked with an incredulous expression on his face.

"His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor heard correctly, and neither did the foreign ministers. This time, the foreign ministers came here to surrender to the Great Qin Emperor with full sincerity. I hope that the Great Qin Emperor does not think that the foreign ministers are poor and weak, and accept the sincerity of the foreign ministers." !” Zheng Long looked at Ying Chang with a solemn expression, eyes full of sincerity and said.

"You have an army of millions, so you surrendered like this?" A trace of disbelief flashed in Bai Qi's scarlet eyes.

Zheng Long took a deep breath, and said sincerely: "Since Zhang Xiang left Qin and went to Yan, Dayan has become more and more day by day, and the banditry in the territory has become uncontrollable. But turn a blind eye, completely ignore it!"

"Since then, the hearts of the foreign ministers have been half chilled, and then the imperial court relaxed the restrictions on the recruitment of troops by the local government, allowing the local government to become bigger and stronger, and wantonly crowned kings for the benefit of those big families. The frontier army guarding the border has become a bargaining chip in the eyes of those big families!"

"The foreign ministers couldn't bear the soldiers guarding the country to become humble preparations, so they brazenly rebelled against the imperial court. From the beginning to the present, the foreign ministers have never thought of self-reliance. Everything the foreign ministers are doing now is just against the faint emperor and treacherous ministers!"

"Originally, the foreign ministers wanted to use their own actions to wake up the treacherous ministers and faint kings in the court, but now it seems that they have been deeply involved in their interests, and they have completely ignored the people of the Great Yan and the generals of the Great Yan. Come on, these foreign ministers, Qiuba, are lowly untouchables!"

"Dayan needs a new rule. The officers and soldiers of Dayan need to rest. They don't want to participate in the troubled times. They want to have a peaceful and prosperous world. Foreign ministers know that their own abilities are not enough to benefit the people, but His Majesty the Emperor of Qin can. Under the governance of Daqin , Jin people live and work in peace and contentment, living in a peaceful and prosperous age!"

PS: "Please recommend, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a reward, ask for a full subscription, and ask for four daily requests. I hope you can support me a lot, thank you!"

Chapter 677 Playing in the palm of your hand!

"Foreign ministers believe that His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor can make the Jin people live a good life, and can also make millions of Yan people live a good life. Your Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, I beg you to accept foreign Surrender, my ministers are willing to be one of His Majesty's pawns and fight for prosperity!"

As Zheng Long spoke, his eyes turned red, and his expression showed pain. Seeing this, the four officers and men of Sejong, Qian Guangxiao, Xiao Xiong, and Shao Junguang showed sympathy. They obviously believed in Zheng Long's words. suspect.

Du Changjing and Bai Qi were lost in thought, as if they were analyzing whether Zheng Long's words were true or false.

Ying Chang got up from the commander-in-chief, walked in front of Zheng Long, and grabbed Zheng Long's hands with a rather touched expression, "King Zheng is so benevolent and righteous, I am so impressed!"

"So, Your Majesty has accepted the foreign minister's surrender?" Zheng Long said with a smile on his face.

Ying Chang smiled and nodded, "If I don't accept your surrender, I really can't justify it, and I will even be angry with others, and with your great talent, I will not let you be a pawn, you are still King Zheng, your hundred Master Wan Xiong, I don't want one soldier at a time!"

"When Great Qin destroys the Yan Dynasty, I will make you the hereditary King Zheng, and give Jinchang County, Changfu County, and Huaibei County as your fiefdoms. As long as Great Qin is not destroyed, you will still be King Zheng of Great Qin. The three counties will always be your fiefdom, King Zheng!"

Zheng Long's face turned red with excitement, and with a plop, he knelt on the ground, raised his hands with tears in his eyes, and said: "Foreign minister... no, I thank Your Majesty Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Ying Chang quickly helped Zheng Long up, grabbed Zheng Long's hands again, and said with a gratified smile: "I should thank you, King Zheng, if it weren't for King Zheng's kindness, our two armies would have suffered heavy losses. Countless orphans!"

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Long was so moved that he almost buried his head in Ying Chang's arms and wept bitterly.

After Zheng Long cried for a while, he released Ying Chang's hands, took two steps back, bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, in order to help Your Majesty destroy the stupid court as soon as possible, I decided to send Niu Ba and Wu Wu If you can give it to His Majesty, let the two of them wish His Majesty a helping hand!"

"The final general is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty!" Wu Neng and Niu Ba also bowed one after another to show their loyalty!

"I don't know what words to use to express my admiration for what Aiqing has done. How about it, what do you want? As long as I can give, I will give it all!" Ying Chang was almost moved to tears.

"Your Majesty's acceptance of my surrender is already the greatest and best reward I can give you, but I don't want to be around the corner. Right now, I'm most in need of military pay, armaments, and food. If Your Majesty has extra, can you give me some? If not, then it's fine." Now, I will tighten my belt and serve His Majesty and Great Qin!" Zheng Long said with an extremely respectful expression.

Ying Chang pondered for a moment, "I marched in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring a lot of ordnance and food, let alone military pay, and the amount of food and grass in the camp is limited, which is only enough for the Qin army to consume, but I can make up for the military pay." Get out!"

"General Du, you send an order to the three armies on my behalf, and tell the soldiers to take out the military salary they received three months ago, and treat it as a loan from me. When this battle is over, I will return it double!"

"The last general obeys orders!" Du Changjing bowed down respectfully and responded, then turned and left.

"Your Majesty's kindness and virtue, I will never forget it!"

Zheng Long was moved to tears again, as if a soldier died for his confidant.

"I'll hold a big banquet later, Aiqing must have a few more drinks with me!" Ying Chang said with a gentle smile.

Hearing this, Zheng Long quickly said: "I thank you, Your Majesty, but your Majesty should not waste time and drinks on me, I will return later, and lead the army to attack those traitors for Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will allow it! "

"Leaving so soon? I promised to give you the military salary, but I haven't paid it yet. If Aiqing leaves, how can I give the military salary to Aiqing?" Ying Chang frowned and said, a little unhappy.

"To be honest, King Ming of Mingguang County and Marquis of Huaibei of Huaibei County have been violating the fiefdoms of the ministers, and they are eyeing the ministers. The ministers must return in time and sit in the capital of Xinyang King, otherwise there may be changes. As for the military salary, I will trouble your majesty." Just send someone to deliver it!" Zheng Long said.

"That's it!" Ying Chang showed a look of embarrassment, and after hesitating for a while, he said with regret: "This is really a pity, so let's do it, when Daqin destroys the Yan court, Aiqing must accompany me for a long time Have a few drinks!"

"Definitely! Definitely!" Zheng Long nodded repeatedly.

"If His Majesty is fine, I will take my leave!" Zheng Long immediately saluted.

"Come here, send King Zheng off!"

"As ordered!"

Soon, Ying Chang ordered Sejong to send Zheng Long away, and also ordered two soldiers to arrange a residence with Niu Ba and Wu Neng.

After about an incense stick of time, Du Changjing returned to the commander's tent, walked to the center of the big tent, and bowed to Ying Chang with a respectful expression to make a report: "Your Majesty, many soldiers sent back to their hometowns after receiving their military salaries. That's right, I only got 200 million taels of silver!"

Sitting in the handsome seat, Ying Chang nodded expressionlessly and said nothing.

tread... tread...

There was a sound of footsteps, and Sejong opened the curtain and walked into the tent. Seeing Sejong approaching, Ying Chang asked, "Zheng Long sent you away?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have already left!" Sejong raised his hand respectfully and replied in salute.

"Have you found any abnormalities?" Ying Chang asked casually.

"Vision?" Sejong frowned, pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "The last general has not discovered the vision yet, does your majesty not trust Zheng Long?"

"If he believes it, he won't be your emperor!" Bai Qi said abruptly.

Hearing this, the generals were also stunned for a moment, thinking, those who dare to say this, in the whole world, Bai Qi dares to say it, but why did Bai Qi say such a thing?Is Zheng Long a false surrender?Impossible, Zheng Long is very sincere, it doesn't look like he is acting at all.

"Zheng Long's acting skills are good, but his acting is too much!" Du Changjing also said, obviously he also saw the clue.

"On the way I led the army, I have been collecting the process of the fortunes of princes from all over the country. I know a little about those princes. As the most powerful Zheng Long in the Dayan Empire, I am even more familiar with everything he has done. After the original Jinchang County Magistrate, he forced the Yan court to make him king, but the Yan court refused, and then Zheng Long sent troops to attack Changfu County, and once again forced the Yan court to make him king!"
