The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"I will explain this matter to His Majesty. You don't need to talk about it. It's useless to talk about it. If you are really good for Daqin, then let the matter rot in your stomach." Take things to heart.

Hearing the tone and looking at the expressions, Zhang Xin and Rank were both angry and helpless. In the end, they walked out of the tent angrily, not wanting to be with Jarrow. Jarrow just smiled indifferently.

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

On the high platform of the majestic and sacred Qilin Hall, Ying Chang is wearing a golden silk black dragon robe and sits high on the dragon chair. Perhaps because he is in charge of the imperial power, Ying Chang seems to have changed into a different person, with black and vertical hair, slanted and straight eyebrows, and slender Contains sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, sharp-edged silhouette, slender and tall but not rough figure, like an eagle in the dark night, cold and lonely but domineering, solitary and independent exudes the emperor The strength of the sky and the earth.

Civil and military officials stood on the left and right sides of the main hall, with a calm demeanor, a serious smile, and looked straight ahead.

"Yang Aiqing!" Ying Chang whispered expressionlessly, with the coldness of an emperor on his face.

Yang Ze took a step to the right, bent over with a respectful expression, and responded: "The minister is here!"

"How is the Ordnance Department doing?" Ying Chang said in a neutral tone.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ordnance Department has produced three batches of heavy armor, and now all three batches of heavy armor have been delivered to the Hussar General!" Yang Ze replied with a serious expression and saluted.

Ying Chang looked at Du Changjing, who was the first on the left. Seeing this, Du Changjing immediately took a small step forward, bent down respectfully and wrote a report: "Your Majesty, Master Yang has indeed sent three Ten sets of heavy armor were handed over to Yuchen, and since the horses had not arrived, I temporarily let the heavy cavalry soldiers train to run with heavy loads, and the heavy armors were also tried on by the soldiers in turn, let them get familiar with it first!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ordnance Department has also made [-] iron masks with ghost faces and fangs according to His Majesty's needs, which are temporarily stored in the Hyogo, but have not been taken out yet!" Yang Ze reported again.

"I see!" Yingchang nodded, and Yang Ze and Du Changjing retreated to their seats upon seeing this.

Yingchang picked up a blank piece of paper on the imperial table, on which was drawn a long object, like a spear but not like a spear.

"Yang Aiqing, take it!" Yingchang called out to Yang Ze, Yang Ze ran up to the high platform immediately after hearing this, and took the blank paper that Yingchang gave. After getting the blank paper, Yang Ze didn't dare to stay and quickly returned his position.

Yang Ze held the two sides of the white paper with both hands, and watched carefully. After reading it, Yang Ze frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know what the painting was, but what was certain was that it was similar to a spear. such weapons.

"I said at the beginning that we want to make special weapons for heavy cavalry, and the ones drawn on this blueprint are special weapons for heavy cavalry, lance!"

Before Yang Ze could ask a question, Yingchang explained.

"槊?" Civil and military officials were at a loss...

Du Changjing was invigorated, and his eyes turned towards Yang Ze from time to time.

"Like, that is, a long pole spear. The lance is divided into two parts: the handle and the head. The handle is made of hardwood and is seven feet long. The head is made of iron and is shaped like a round hammer. There are some iron nails on the head. The handle The tail end is equipped with a lance, and the blade is 16 inches long, far longer than the length of ordinary spears and spears. , teasing, rushing, leading, picking, etc." Ying Chang had a vague look of embarrassment on his face.

Although he didn't come up with this weapon, but he showed it in front of civil and military officials, hehe, I feel very happy.

Manchu Wenwu looked at Yingchang with admiration on his face.

Our majesty is too powerful, capable of writing and martial arts, and can even make weapons. The word evil is no longer worthy of our majesty.

Du Changjing almost couldn't help but throw himself to the ground, his face full of admiration and admiration.

"Your Majesty is well educated and talented. It is a great honor for me to assist Your Majesty in this life!" Chang Zifei shouted with admiration.

"Daqin has His Majesty, it can be said to be the blessing of Daqin's subjects!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

All civil and military officials shouted in unison, venting their admiration and worship in their hearts.

On the surface, Ying Chang just smiled lightly, but in fact, the smile blossomed in his heart, and the feeling of being praised by others is quite refreshing.

"If you praise me, don't say too much, Yang Aiqing, after the dynasty is over, immediately hand over the blueprint to the Ordnance Department and ask him to build it. Also, the heavy armor for the horse will also be built!" Ying Chang said brightly.

"I obey the order!" Yang Ze bowed down and responded calmly.

At this time, Jiang Haiyou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, took a step to the right, and bent down respectfully to write a report: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Chapter 92 If Jia Luo is here, he can die for Jiang Haiyou!

"Quasi-playing!" Ying Chang replied calmly.

Jiang Haiyou took out a memorial from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands, "His Majesty, this is the map of water canals and roads drawn by the minister in this month, please read it!"

"Bring it up!" Yingchang made a gesture, Jiang Haiyou trotted up to the high platform immediately, put the memorial on the royal table, and then Jiang Haiyou immediately retreated from the high platform.

Ying Chang picked up the memorial with both hands, unfolded it, and at the same time, Jiang Haiyou also said: "The three counties of Daqin are expected to build 320 roads and 270 water canals, including 120 roads and [-] small roads. The avenues are named county roads, and the small roads are named county roads. The county road is three feet wide and the county road is two feet wide. Both the county road and the county road are paved with stone slabs, and trees are planted on both sides to prevent weathering. Send people to repair it, so as not to seriously damage the road and affect the people's traffic!"

"There are 270 water canals, including 350 large canals and 920 small canals. I named the big canals the main canal and the small canals as sub-canals. The main canal is three feet wide and six feet deep, and the sub-canals are three feet wide. , one foot deep, can ensure that any remote place in the three counties of Daqin can be easily irrigated, which is greatly conducive to reclamation and land reclamation!"

"The water flow of the main canal comes from the Weihe River, so there is no need to worry about the water source drying up. Once the main canal and branch canals are completed, it will not only ensure that any area in the three counties of Daqin can be easily irrigated, but also avoid floods and other natural disasters. Feng, you don’t have to worry about food anymore!”

After reading the memorial and listening to Jiang Haiyou's words, Ying Chang couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction, but...Daqin didn't have so many manpower and material resources. Just by hearing the number of these roads and canals, it would take a lot of material and manpower.

"Master Jiang, have you calculated how much it will cost? How long will it take?" Yang Ze asked with a slight frown.

"Forget it!" Jiang Haiyou nodded.

"How much?" Chang Zifei turned to look at Jiang Haiyou and asked.

All the officials in the Qilin Hall looked at Jiang Haiyou, and Ying Chang also looked at Jiang Haiyou curiously, wondering what astronomical figures he could tell.

Jiang Haiyou looked up at Yingchang, and then wrote back: "The first step in building canals and roads is to quarry stones. Stones are indispensable. I do a little calculation, and the stone slabs used for road construction need to be quarried ten times." The number of mountains requires manpower to be counted in time. If His Majesty wants to build them within three years, it will take 30 people to quarry, crush and process them into slabs, 2 people, 3 people to transplant trees, and remove road obstacles. 10 people are needed, and millions of people are needed to dig the canal, a total of about 150 million young people, material resources do not need to be paid, but manpower must be paid for!"

"According to the current general salary, the court needs to pay 30 qian per month for a laborer, 150 million taels for 450 million laborers a month, and 6000 million taels for three years!"

The civil and military officials almost fainted when they heard the following numbers. If Jia Luo, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, could die for Jiang Haiyou to see, Ying Chang was also stunned when he heard the number. Civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty are enough!

Let’s not talk about money first, let’s talk about manpower. Now the population of Daqin doesn’t even have 100 million, and the population of young and strong is only 10,000+. It doesn’t even have the manpower of [-] percent of the people planned. According to this plan, more than a dozen Daqin empires will be in national strength. Not enough to lose.

"Even if this is a forced recruitment of young and strong, it can't be done!" Yang Ze said dumbfounded.

The forced recruitment of young and strong people that Yang Ze talked about means forcibly arresting young and strong people to repair them. They don’t pay and work for free, but they also have to take care of food. With 150 million people, food is a big problem.

In the eyes of the ministers, this plan cannot be carried out for at least ten years, or even two or three decades. It is too expensive.

Ying Chang frowned, his eyes were fixed, and he was lost in thought. His brain was running fast. Although the road and canal project cost a lot, it was also very rewarding. Once it was completed, just like what Jiang Haiyou said, all parts of Daqin can be reclaimed to grow food , will not waste an inch of land, let alone an acre of wasteland.

After thinking about it for a while, Yingchang made up his mind, then raised his eyes and looked around at the ministers, and said in a neutral tone: "Although the overall plan cannot be implemented, this big plan can be broken down into several small plans, and then one by one. Carrying out the expansion will not only reduce the cost, but also be effective, and when the national strength of the Great Qin gradually prospers, it will increase investment, what do you think?"

After hearing these words, all the ministers fell silent and began to meditate secretly.

"I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be invested in your Majesty's first step?" Chang Zifei asked with a serious expression.

"The first step is not to build roads, but to dig water canals. At the beginning, 2000 people will be invested. The goal is to connect all areas within [-] miles of Xianyang City to water sources. There is no time limit. Labor wages and two meals a day are all in charge of the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry is also responsible for recruiting, and the Ministry of Industry can report to the Ministry of Households for salary and food!" Ying Chang said solemnly.

"I will obey your orders!"

Jiang Haiyou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Qian Qing, the left servant, Zhao Fei, the right servant, Niu Yicao, the left servant of the household department, and Tang Cheng, the right servant, composed in unison.

"What else do you want to play, if you don't play, you will retreat!"

Since there was no personal eunuch, Ying Chang temporarily contracted the job of a personal eunuch. To be honest, since the Empress Dowager Min incident, Ying Chang didn't trust eunuchs very much, so he never found a candidate for a personal eunuch.

"I still have important things to do!" Chang Zifei hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Prelude!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the city of Xianyang has been blocked for two months. People in the three counties of Daqin are panic-stricken and speculate wildly. I feel that it is time to announce to the people of the world that His Majesty is now in charge, so as to appease the hearts of the people in the world!" Chang Zi Fei said with a trace of sadness on his face.

In the past two months, Xianyang City has been very peaceful, but the rest of the place has not been particularly peaceful. Now the people in Daqin are talking about the affairs of Xianyang City. They make random guesses, and some people guess right, but because of this The hearts of the people are panicked, and the hearts of the people are uneasy.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that it's time to tell the world!" Du Yushi Changqing echoed with a solemn expression.

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

All the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty bowed their knees and said in unison.

Yingchang couldn't help hesitating in his heart. There was no news from Xiguan until now, and he didn't know what the situation was. Besides, if the Jin Empire knew about this, they would not be furious and send troops to attack Qin.

There is no news of stability in Xiguan, and Yingchang dared not tell the world. Before telling the world, Yingchang promised that even if the Jin Empire knew about the blockade of Xianyang City, they would not move around and could only wait quietly. The news is out.

Chapter 93 Tell the world!

??

And during these times, Ying Chang can rest assured to wait for news from Xiguan, otherwise, he will have to worry about both Xiguan and the Jin Empire.

"Report! Eight hundred miles urgent report!"

"Under the order of General Zuo, enter the palace to deliver an urgent report, and the idlers wait to get out of the way!"

At this moment, anxious voices came faintly from outside the Qilin Hall. Civil and military officials all turned their heads subconsciously when they heard the voices, but Ying Chang was overjoyed because he heard "by the order of General Zuo", General Zuo Isn't it Yang Hu? Yang Hu didn't come back by himself, but instead sent someone back, which shows that he may have stabilized Xiguan.

Not far from the Qilin Hall, a cavalryman wearing a military uniform and a yellow tasseled helmet was running anxiously towards the Qilin Hall. Road.

No one is allowed to stop the emergency report from eight hundred miles, otherwise it will be punished as delaying the military situation!

When the captain came to the outside of the Qilin Hall, he jumped off his horse and ran into the Qilin Hall in a hurry. The civil and military officials and Ying Chang all looked at the captain, and saw the captain running to the main hall The central government then knelt down on one knee facing Yingchang, and made a report: "My Majesty, the last general, Tu Sheng, is the captain of Xiguan. This time, when he entered the palace, he was ordered by General Zuo to send a message to His Majesty. General Zuo said that Xiguan It's fixed, safe and sound!"

"Okay!" Ying Chang couldn't help shouting "Hello", with a smile on his face, really dozed off to send a pillow, just now he was worried about Xiguan, but now there is news of safety from Xiguan.

"Great, Xiguan is finally stable!"

"In this way, we can tell the world!"

All the ministers were discussing with smiles. Every minister's face was full of smiles, and the word "excitement" was almost written on his face.

"Chang Xiang's imperial edict!" Ying Chang was sonorous and forceful, with strong confidence in every word, Xiguan was stable, and Ying Chang no longer worried about anything. If the Jin Empire wants to fight, then fight with him!

"The minister is here!" Chang Zifei restrained his excitement, and pretended to be solemn in response.

"In the early years of the Holy Qin Dynasty, after the crime, Min Qing, together with the guilty ministers Wei Huai, Qiu Yisheng, and the imperial court of the Jin Empire, conspired to cede the two counties of Hedong, Huainan, and Wujin of Chongguan, and ordered Changsheng General Duyi to lead his army to Yangguan. Yi knew very well that not an inch of the land of the Great Qin could be lost. In order not to let the sinner party succeed, General Changsheng led 30 loyal and brave men to the bloody battle at the Pass, and finally wiped out 360 of the Jin army with [-] troops. Our great Qin is mighty, However, the imperial court was in power after committing crimes, convicting General Changsheng and the soldiers of the Changsheng Army for treason, causing [-] members of the Du family to die unjustly, [-] heroic dead souls were wronged even though they died, and the relatives of the dead souls were even scolded by the neighbors! "

"In the early years of the Holy Qin Dynasty, after the case of General Changsheng, Min Qing couldn't wait to murder Shangyang General Yang Cheng after the crime. He imprisoned the three generals Yang Cheng, Yang Hu, Yang Long and his son on the grounds that they did not attend the funeral of the late emperor. People, let Shangyang General Yang Cheng die in depression, and hurt my Great Qin Tiger General!"

"After the case of General Shangyang, the queen of crime put the knife on the courtiers. All loyal and brave officials were framed and executed by the queen of crime. In three years, my Daqin court was misunderstood, and treacherous officials were in power. Corruption is terrific, making the common people miserable!"

"In the third year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, after the crime, a party once again collaborated with the Jin Empire court to steal Nanyang County, Nanguan, and Hebei County of our Great Qin, which caused the population of our Great Qin to drop sharply, and the country's land and power to shrink greatly!"

"On November [-]th, the seventh year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, Ying Chang, the eldest son of Emperor Qin Heng, regained the imperial power. He was convicted of stealing the country and humiliating the country by one party. He named Du Yi, the general of Chang Sheng, as loyal and brave, and at the same time compensated [-] of the Chang Sheng troops who died in battle. The family members of the officers and men are entrusted with five taels of silver, and they are posthumously conferring the title of Marquis of Yang Cheng, the Great General of Shangyang, and from then on they declare to the world that the Great Jin Empire and our Great Qin Empire are enemies!"

"After the crime, one party has been in power for seven years, and the people have suffered for seven years. Today, I can't bear the suffering of the people. I have announced to the world that the whole country will permanently reduce taxes by [-]%. On the same front, to deal with foreign enemies together, this is it!"

Hundreds of words are eloquently written, all of which are heinous crimes committed by the queen party!

"My minister draws up the decree immediately!" Chang Zifei shouted with a solemn expression!

Du Changjing's eyes were reddish, and tears glistened in his eyes. After seven years, he finally got his revenge!

Du Changjing couldn't help shedding warm tears, knelt down on the ground uncontrollably, and kowtowed to Ying Chang, "I thank you, Your Majesty Long En, for the 360 ​​members of the Du family and the [-] Changsheng soldiers. Long live Long live Long live!"

The officials couldn't help but knelt down on the ground and shouted excitedly in unison: "Your Majesty is holy, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

For the ministers, today will be the day of Daqin's rebirth, and from today onwards, Daqin will face the sun and rise brightly, and all the filth before will never be there again.

This is the beginning of an era, and also the start of Ying Chang's life!

"Retire!" Ying Chang gave a soft shout with a solemn expression!

"Your Majesty is being sent off respectfully, long live my emperor!" All civil and military officials knelt down and shouted in unison.

Yingchang got up from the dragon chair, walked down the high platform without a smile, and left the Qilin hall from the back hall. After Yingchang disappeared, all the ministers walked together and left the sacred Qilin hall one after another.

As soon as Chang Zifei left the palace, he went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ordered people to write down every word Ying Chang said on the gold list, and then ordered the officers and soldiers to post the list. Post one, and at the same time send a large number of officers and soldiers to Xianyang City as the center to notify all counties and counties!

"The government has set up a list!"

"Everyone go and have a look, it is very likely that it is about the closure of the city!"

"Go, everyone, go and have a look!"

A list by the government immediately caused countless people to flock to it, but most of the people were illiterate and couldn't understand the content on the imperial list. However, there was no shortage of literate scholars among the people, and officers and soldiers would also read the content on the imperial list .

"The queen mother is stealing the country?"

"This... is this true?"

"The evidence is convincing, it must be true, damn it, the abominable demon queen actually stole my Daqin!"

"Damn it, the despicable Jin Empire actually wants to destroy us, Great Qin, in this way. It's a shame!"

"I'm so ridiculous, I once insulted the old general..."

"The old general Du gave everything for the country, but we insulted us wantonly. What have we become? The Jin Empire must think that we are all fools!"

"Although fifty thousand heroic souls died and were wronged, what a tragedy it is. They abandoned their families and sons for Daqin, and vowed to protect every inch of Daqin's land to the death, while we, as the protected ones, stabbed their backs with knives behind their backs!"

PS: "Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for rewards, and ask for three daily requests!"

Chapter 94 The people are hotly discussing!

"I'm sorry for them. I really deserve to die. Back then, I treated the parents of an Ever Victorious Army warrior with cold eyes and refused to sell their food. Now they don't know where they are. If they can come back, I am willing to pay ten stones of food!"

"Old General Yang guarded the Great Qin border all his life. He never lost an inch of land. He made great achievements in battle, but he did not die well in his later years. He died in the Yang Mansion. It is a pity and a pity!"
