The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"I said earlier that this matter is not that simple, but you just don't believe it. Now it's okay, everyone is guilty, is it painful? You deserve it, a bunch of idiots, fools, you should be the ones who died!"

"That is, you people, what qualifications do you have to be protected!"

"Everyone, this is just a misunderstanding. Don't blame yourself. This is all done by the Demon Queen. It is the Demon Queen who caused Daqin to lose four counties and a large number of people. The blame for this crime should be borne by the Demon Queen!"

"Yeah, we can't fight among ourselves. Daqin has become like this, can we still fight among ourselves? Your Majesty has said it all. I hope that our people can stand on the same front as His Majesty and fight against foreign enemies together!"

"Your Majesty seems to be only 13 years old?"

"Yeah, is there a problem? Fuck me, His Majesty is only 13 years old!"

"Haha, at the age of 13, the Jin faction who has covered the sky with one hand must be the hero. Everyone, our Daqin finally has a hero!"

"Your Majesty also cut taxes by [-]%. Not only is the hero, but also the sage. With this hero, why don't the great Qin rise up!"

As soon as the imperial list came out, the people in Xianyang City were extremely shocked. Every street, every lane, every teahouse, restaurant, and inn were discussing the content of the imperial list. Some people were elated, some felt guilty, and some even spontaneously Went to Du's house to hold incense and worship, to comfort the old general and the souls of Du's 360!

Whether it's the capital's home or the homes of the soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army, there are people who go to drink tea, and there are empty houses but no one. Seeing this scene, the people who insulted and treated each other with cold eyes at the beginning blamed themselves and felt guilty, as if in their hearts. dripping blood.

The [-]% reduction in food tax on the imperial list is even more exciting for most people. The original food tax in Daqin was [-]%, but now it has become [-]%. Don’t underestimate this [-]%. Some people can rely on this Cheng barely survived for two or three months.

Yingchang was a 13-year-old boy, no, at the age of 12, he eradicated the evil spirits in the court, which shocked the people, and made the people think that the prosperity of the Great Qin Dynasty is coming, and the Great Qin Empire is about to rise!

A series of incidents were exposed, causing the common people to share the same hatred and anger against the Jin Empire. The relationship between the Jin Empire and the Qin Empire completely deteriorated the moment it was posted on the imperial list, and the four words Qin Jin's goodness also became Bubble, from an ally to an enemy!

This earth-shattering news spread around at an extremely fast speed.

Daqin Shangyang County, Nanfeng County, Hexi County, Dajin East County, Hebei County, Huainan County, Nanyang County.

The people of the seven counties were shocked when they heard the news, and their attitude was the same as that of the people in Xianyang City, especially the people of Qin, the land of the four counties stolen by the Jin Empire, were very excited!

"Damn, hate, damn the Jin Empire, since it stole my Qin land!"

"Why did I just say that the old general Du would betray the country, hehe, it's all a conspiracy of the Jin Empire and the Demon Queen!"

"Let's go against each other, fight Jingou!"

In a small village in Hedong County, a group of angry middle-aged and young men gathered around the entrance of the village and yelled. Everyone's expression was full of anger, and the anger in their eyes seemed to condense into substance!

As the first group of people in Hedong County who were ceded, they were the most excited to hear the news, because they used to yell at Du Yi, thinking that Du Yi made them become Jin citizens. Now it seems that they were really betrayed. Even counting the money for others, it's really unbearable!

"Okay, let's go the other way, and return to the embrace of the Great Qin Empire!"

A boy about seventeen or eighteen years old raised his fist and shouted, he is the leader of this group of people,

It is hard to believe that the leader of this group of people is actually a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. You must know that there are quite a few young adults in their 30s and [-]s in this circle.

This young man is named Zhao Ye, and he is the son of the village head of Zhaojia Village. Of course, in Zhaojia Village, where the people are very martial, the identity of the village head's son is not enough to be their leader. Conquer people with virtue and conquer people with force!

Although Zhao Ye is only seventeen or eighteen years old, in a fight, a dozen or so middle-aged men may not be his opponents. Back then, he killed two tigers with his bare hands, and he just killed two tigers with his bare hands. This is precisely because of this. The villagers of Zhaojia Village in Chongwu admired him very much, and Zhao Ye was not arrogant, he greeted the villagers with a smile, and shared the prey he caught with the villagers from time to time.

Zhaojia Village is a large village with a population of thousands of people. It mainly relies on hunting and farming as a secondary source. It can be regarded as a relatively wealthy village. Since the Jin Empire took Hedong County seven years ago, it has reduced [-]% for Hedong and Huainan tax.

The officials of the Jin Empire did not oppress the Qin people, and adopted a policy of treating people equally, but the villagers of Zhaojia Village and even the people of Hedong County and Huainan County have lived on this land for generations, and they have a unique feeling for the Great Qin. Now that they got the news, Zhao The villagers of Jia Village and the people of the four counties that were ceded out all hated the actions of the Jin Empire and wanted to return to the embrace of the Great Qin Empire. That's why the scene just now happened at the entrance of Zhaojia Village.

With Zhao Ye's words, the hot-blooded young people of Zhaojia Village were on fire at a little bit, and they got up one after another, ready to go home to get weapons, but at this moment, a white-haired old man with a walking stick came over.

Seeing such an old man, everyone bowed down respectfully and saluted: "Old village chief!"

This old man is the father of the current village head, that is, Zhao Ye's grandfather Zhao An. Zhao An is 70 years old this year. He has a high prestige in the village head and is loved by the villagers. Everyone will respectfully salute when they see him.

"You are not allowed to go..." Zhao An was expressionless, with a sense of vicissitudes in his tone.

"Why?" Zhao Ye frowned, extremely puzzled.

The rest of the people looked at Zhao An suspiciously, thinking, does the old village chief like the Jin Empire?

If they really like it, they can't say anything. After all, the officials of the Jin Empire are really very good. During the past seven years, they have never oppressed the people. They are very polite to the Qin people. Compared with the arrogant and arrogant Qin Empire Officials are simply incomparable.

"The Jin government has never treated me Qinmin badly. If you compare the current Hedong with the previous Hedong, you will find a big difference. Since the Jin Empire really does things for us ordinary people, why should we oppose it?"

PS: "Please recommend!"

Chapter 96 The Jin court is sensational!

"Of course, it's not that the old man doesn't want to be a Qin citizen, but this matter is not something we should care about. If the Great Qin court cares about us and the people of Hedong, the court will send troops to defeat the Jin army and regain the lost land. If the Great Qin court has no heart If it is us, we will not send troops to regain the lost land, do you understand?" Zhao An, the old village head, said calmly.

Everyone can't help lowering their heads. The meaning of this sentence is simple, that is, the emperor is not in a hurry for eunuchs, and the court is not in a hurry. Why are you so anxious? Do you really think that you can regain Hedong with two hundred people?What to recover?passionate?What a joke!

The old village head glanced at the crowd, then turned and left.

"Ugh!"

Zhao Ye sighed heavily, with a look of disappointment on his face, and so did the others.

After being told by the old village head, everyone felt that they had more than enough energy but not enough energy...

Great Jin Empire, Jinling Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace, Chengtian Palace!

Inside the Chengtian Hall, all civil and military officials of the Great Jin Empire stood on both sides. The Emperor Min Ziying of the Great Jin Empire sat high on the dragon chair, holding a memorial in his hand. Looking at the contents of the memorial, Min Ziying trembled angrily, his face turning blue and white.

Min Ziyan put away the memorial full of anger, and slapped it hard on the imperial case. There was a loud "pop", which scared all the civil and military officials to tremble.

Min Ziying glared angrily at His Royal Highness and all the officials. Seeing the emperor's fury, all civil and military officials lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads to look at Min Ziying.

"Damn it, the plan is obviously only a few years away from success, and it is really abominable to make such a move to me now!" Min Ziying roared at Manchu Wenwu in a low voice, bleeding in his heart, obviously The plan to steal Qin is just a few years away from completion, but now the ducks that are in their mouths suddenly fly away.

"Your Majesty, calm down, isn't it only the land of the three counties!" Even facing this situation, Qiu Yixiao still laughed.

The name Qiu Yisheng chose was really right.

"What does it mean to be short of these three counties? Don't you know that if Qin Qin is merged into my Dajin, will our Dajin's strength reach that level?" Prime Minister, it's so majestic, you can say these two words in a mere way.

"Your Majesty, among the seven counties of Qin, I took four from the Jin Dynasty. Today, the Great Jin Dynasty has thirteen counties, with a population of more than seven million, and its strength is strong. Compared with the Great Wei Empire, our Great Jin Dynasty is only slightly inferior. The Great Qin Dynasty in the past, If you are a tiger or a wolf, you should not be provoked, but today, Daqin is a sheep, if our Dajin sends troops to destroy it, it will be easy!" Qiu Yixiao smiled disapprovingly.

Min Ziyan fell silent. What Qiu Yixiao meant was to take advantage of the weakness of the Qin Empire and send troops to destroy Qin, but why didn't he know that destroying Qin now is as easy as turning the palm of your hand?He just felt distressed, obviously he could swallow Qin without any cost, but in the end he still had to send troops, did he really think that sending troops would not require money?Do you know how much national power it costs to fight a war?Especially in this kind of war of destroying the country, the whole people of the Qin Empire must be soldiers, and it will not be destroyed in a short time.

As long as the war starts, the money and food will flow out like running water. Then how can we compete with the Great Wei Empire for the supremacy!

"What the prime minister said, the lower officials dare not agree with!"

At this time, Zong Xian, Minister of the Ministry of War, was walking out of the ranks of civil servants, looking at Qiu Yixiao who was smiling lightly with a solemn expression.

"What is Zong Shangshu's insight?" Qiu Yisheng narrowed his smiling eyes, revealing the light.

"I don't dare to take it for a high opinion!" Zong Xianzheng's tone was flat, and then he raised his eyes to look at Min Ziying, bowed down and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that it is absolutely impossible to destroy Qin at this time!"

"Why?" Min Ziying frowned slightly, looking a little displeased.

"It's good for me to take the four counties of Qin from the Great Jin Dynasty, but the people in these four counties are Qin people from generation to generation, and now they have only been Jin citizens for seven years. Now that the plan is leaked, the people of the Qin Empire are extremely angry. It is extremely repulsive. If we send troops to destroy Qin at this time, the Qin people in the four counties of Hedong, Huainan, Nanyang, and Hebei will make waves, make trouble behind their backs, and even force the people of the four counties to revolt. The land, give back the four counties for nothing!"

"I suggest that the plan to destroy Qin can be postponed for ten years, so that the Qin people in the four counties can be Jin citizens for ten years, so that they can identify themselves as Jin people in their minds. When we send troops to destroy Qin, we don't have to worry about the people in the four counties. The people's rebellion will easily destroy the Qin Empire and complete the great cause of swallowing Qin!" Zong Xianzheng said with a serious expression and a serious smile.

After Zong Xianzheng finished speaking, many ministers nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Min Ziyan raised his eyes to Qiu Yixiao and asked, "What does Prime Minister Qiu think?"

"Master Zong's words are justified, and I have no power to refute them!" Qiu Yixiao replied calmly.

Min Ziying fell silent again, thinking about the pros and cons. After thinking for a while, Min Ziying looked around at His Highness and his officials, and said in a low tone: "Ten years is too long, I can't wait for a day, and the matter has come to this, then Just tear your face apart!"

"Li Qi!" Min Ziying yelled lightly!

As soon as the words fell, Li Qi, the son of Li Jiang, stepped forward from the ranks of generals on the left, bowed down solemnly and shouted back: "The minister is here!"

Since Li Qi defeated the Changsheng Army seven years ago, he has been appointed by Min Zimin as the third-rank general protecting the country. At this time, Li Qi was quite excited, because he dreamed of becoming like his father and becoming a first-rank official in the Jin Dynasty. Ride the Great General!

But in the past seven years, there has been no war in Dajin. In the empire, the throne of the first-rank hussar general belongs to him, and no one can take it away. After all, this is a great achievement in destroying the country, and it is even enough to be named a prince!

"I ordered you to lead an army of [-] troops from the east of the river to break through Yangguan, take Xianyang, and completely destroy the Qin Dynasty. If you succeed, I will honor you as a brave waiter. I will pay homage to the first-rank hussar general. If you fail, I will settle the old and new scores together! "Min Ziying shouted imposingly.

This old account is naturally that Li Qi let go of the capital Changjing. As soon as Xianyang City was unsealed, the spies of the Jin Empire in the Qin Palace sent back the news. The news said that it was Du Changjing who helped Qin Youdi train the dead. Well, if it wasn't for Li Qi's carelessness, he wouldn't have fallen into such a field now.

If Min Ziyan didn't need Li Qi to destroy Qin now, Min Ziyan would have killed Li Qi long ago.

"I would like to follow His Majesty's will and decide to take the head of the little emperor of the Qin Empire to see His Majesty!" Li Qi shouted confidently.

In Li Qi's eyes, apart from the capital Changjing, the Qin Empire now has no strong generals. Although it is reported that the capital Changjing has become stronger, he has not slack off, and what fights is morale and national strength. No matter how powerful Changjing is, he cannot reverse the gap between the two countries.

??

Chapter 97 National Policy!

In addition to knowing the capital Changjing, Li Qi also knows Qin Wu Wang Bai Qi, and the two tigers of the Yang family.

But in Li Qi's eyes, Bai Qi, who has no power but no power, is a reckless man!

Yang Long, with 20 troops fighting against [-] Qiangs, almost wiped out his entire army, is also a reckless man, so there is nothing to worry about.

Yang Hu has some skills, but it's not something to worry about.

Except for Du Changjing who can make Li Qi pay a little more attention, he doesn't pay attention to the rest.

"It must not be done. The little emperor of the Qin Empire is also my nephew. You must not hurt his skin. Also, the eldest princess and the grand master must be sent back to Jinling safely!" Min Ziying said with a smile.

"I obey the order!" Li Qi replied with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, don't send troops to destroy Qin!" Zong Xianzheng said anxiously.

Many ministers frowned and felt that now was not the time to destroy Qin, while Qiu Yisheng kept a calm expression on his face and did not express any opinion on this matter.

"Hmph, my decree has already been made, I can't take it back, and retreat!" Min Ziying shouted firmly, he was determined to destroy Qin, and at the same time, he wanted to avoid long nights and dreams. After all, the little emperor of the Qin Empire was not a good stubble. Don't destroy him while the Qin Empire is weak, is it possible to wait for the Qin Empire to become stronger?Isn't this a bitch?

After Min Ziyan finished speaking, he got up from the dragon chair and quickly disappeared into Chengtian Hall, not giving Zong Xianzheng a chance to speak.

"Alas!" Zong Xianzheng sighed heavily, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he had some bad premonition in his heart.

After a period of time, all civil and military officials left Chengtian Palace one after another, and when Li Qi was about to leave, Qiu Yixiao, who deliberately stayed behind, stopped Li Qi.

"I don't know what's the matter with the prime minister?" Li Qi asked with some doubts.

Qiu Yixiao looked around, and after confirming that there was no one in Chengtian Hall, he said to Li Qi meaningfully: "If the Qin Empire threatens the eldest princess and the grand master forces you to retreat, then don't worry about them!"

Qiu Yixiao smiled earnestly, his expression became serious, revealing an expression and attitude that he had never shown before.

"Ah?" Li Qi was taken aback for a moment, and said in a hesitant tone, "But Your Majesty just said..."

"Don't worry, listen to the truth, and keep you safe and sound!" Qiu Yixiao said in a rather heavy tone.

The emperor cannot be ruthless and unrighteous, and the ruthless and unrighteous things need to be done by the courtiers.

"But Taifu..."

Qiu Yixiao once again interrupted abruptly: "Don't worry about it, this is his fate, he can understand!"

Li Qi frowned into the word "Chuan", and his expression was a bit unbearable. After all, the Tai Tuo and the eldest princess were loyal to Da Jin and made great contributions, but now... alas...

"Okay!" Li Qi finally agreed, there was no other way, sitting in this position was beyond his control.

Everything is for Da Jin!

"Very good, then the truth is waiting for the general's good news in Jinling, looking forward to the general's conferment and homage to the general!" Qiu Yixiao said with his original smile.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for looking forward to it!" Li Qi replied with a smile on his face.

..........

On March [-]th, the eighth year of Shengqin, two months have passed since Yingchang made his announcement to the world.

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

In the Qilin Hall, civil and military officials stand on both sides, and Ying Chang sits high on the dragon chair, looking down on all the officials, showing the majesty of the emperor!

At this moment, Du Yushi Changqing took a step to the left, walked out of the queue of civil servants, and then said respectfully to Ying Chang: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Quasi-playing!" Ying Chang said with a blank face.

As soon as the words fell, Chang Qing took out a memorial from his sleeve, put it on with both hands, and said at the same time: "Your Majesty, in the past two months, I have seized 760 officials and obtained a total of 800 million taels of Tibetan silver. There are 860 local landowners, with a total of 200 million shi of grain, 700 million taels of silver, 73 mu of fertile land, and a total of 500 million taels of silver!"

In the past two months, the Metropolitan Procuratorate conducted a thorough investigation of the three counties of Daqin, and wiped out corrupt officials and hateful landlords at one go, and the speed was astonishing, without giving corrupt officials and landlords a chance to react.

Ying Chang really saw the right person this time, Chang Qing is really suitable for this job.

"My God, twenty-five million taels!"

"It's simply an astronomical figure. These goddamn corrupt officials actually searched for so many people's fat and people's anointing, so damn it!"

"There are also those land and wealth landlords who have annexed 73 mu of fertile land. They really deserve to be killed!"

When the ministers heard the final figure, each of them looked horrified, 500 million taels, compared to the current 50-year tax revenue of the Qin Empire court!

Ying Chang was also a little surprised. He originally thought that the people with the most oil and water were in the court, but now it seems that the government offices of the counties and counties are the real rich oil. Snowflake Silver!

"Looks like my Daqin is going to rise, so I have to raid the house a few more times, haha!" Ying Chang joked with a smile.
