The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Emperor Qin is only 34 years old this year. At the age of 34, he has wiped out many dynasties and created unprecedented achievements. It can be said that there is no one before or after.

Du Tang walked to the center of the hall with a feeling of apprehension. Under the solemn and sacred atmosphere, Du Tang bowed his knees humbly, prostrating and prostrating loudly: "The foreign minister, Du Tang, is ordered by His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor. Come to pay respects to His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor!"

Ying Chang looked at Du Tang carefully, and then raised his hand and said, "Pingshen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Great Qin Emperor!" Du Tang kowtowed again to express his thanks, then got up from the ground unhurriedly, and said in a salute, "I would like to report to Your Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, that the foreign ministers are here for two things. His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor greets His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor with his dragon body, and the second is to discuss the peace between Qin and Chu!"

Ying Chang smiled and said with a smile: "I am in good health, so I don't need to worry about the Emperor Chu. I also attach great importance to the peace between Qin and Chu. I want to destroy Chu and turn Chu people into Qin people." In this way, wouldn't Qin Chu be at peace?"

Du Tang looked at Ying Chang on the high platform with a flustered expression and said, "His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, Great Chu cannot be destroyed!"

"Why can't it be destroyed?" Ying Chang asked.

"Da Chu is still useful to Da Qin!" Du Tang said without thinking.

"Oh?" Ying Chang became a little interested and wanted to hear Du Tang continue.

All the officials in the hall also looked at Du Tang curiously.

"The foreign ministers are aware of His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor's grand plans and great wishes, and the foreign ministers and even the Great Chu are willing to contribute to the unification of the Great Qin. As long as the Great Qin Emperor and my Great Chu revise the alliance, stop the army to make peace, and when the Great Qin sends troops to attack Qing, Da Chu will provide the Qin army with food and grass, so that the Qin army's rear will be safe and secure!" Du Tang gave Yingchang a huge temptation as soon as he came up.

Du Tang knew very well that the Qin army had the power to dominate the world, but the logistics did not. The Qing Dynasty was separated from the Qin Dynasty by two dynasties, about seven or eight thousand miles away. The Qin Dynasty's logistics could not support such a far front.

If the Chu Dynasty is willing to help, with the strength of the Qin army, the Qing Dynasty can be pacified within half a year.

Of course, the Chu Dynasty would certainly not help the Qin army wipe out the Qing Dynasty, this was just a tactic to slow down the troops.

"So, Da Chu is really useful to Da Qin, but before we talk about this, I really want to ask Emperor Chu, does Da Qin look good on the head of the third-rank Polu general!" At that time, Ying Chang's voice was stern, and his tone turned cold instantly.

Yingchang was on his way back to Xianyang when a scout told him that General Yiwei Shizong sent someone to Chuying to ask for Ma Bold's head. Who would have imagined that the head would be sent to Shouchun by the general of the Chu Army to show it to Emperor Chu. In the end, only a headless corpse was returned.

This is a blatant act of humiliating Qin, how can Ying Chang not be angry!

Du Tang trembled all over, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, and quickly knelt down, "His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, please explain to the foreign minister that the foreign minister is here to return the head of General Ma!"

"Where's the leader?" Ying Chang asked coldly.

"It's just outside the hall, right outside the hall!" Du Tang replied again and again, for fear of replying too late.

Ying Chang gave Yang Ze a look, Yang Ze nodded in understanding, turned around and walked out of the hall, after a while, Yang Ze walked into the hall with a square wooden box in his hand.

Yang Ze took the wooden box to the high platform, stood beside Ying Chang and slowly opened the wooden box. As soon as the wooden box was opened, a rancid smell came out of the box. The head, after a long time, the head has rotted and the face has turned black, but it can be recognized at a glance that it is the head of Ma Bold.

"Take it down first, and I will go to Ma Mansion with me later!" Ying Chang said softly with no expression on his face.

Yang Ze nodded, covered the wooden box, slowly stepped back from the high platform, and stood back to his position holding the wooden box.

PS: "Please book in full!"

Chapter 1055 Ying Chang is Angry

Ying Chang looked at Du Tang who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Ma Daudao has been with me for 15 years, and now he died in the hands of you Chu people. Of course, he was killed on the battlefield, no one can be blamed, But you Chu people cut off the head of Ma Daudao and used it as an ornament, Qin people can't bear it!"

"Go back, my heart to destroy Chu is like a rock!" Ying Chang began to drive Du Tang away.

Du Tang's face was pale, his face was ashen, and his whole body was trembling.

Big Chu is over!

Du Tang stood up from the ground, turned around and left without paying his farewell ceremony, seeing Du Tang's distraught back and staggering steps, the ministers felt indescribable, sympathetic and relieved.

After Du Tang's figure disappeared from the eyes of Ying Chang and the ministers, Ying Chang looked at the ministers and said: "The strength of the Chu Dynasty has been exhausted, and its demise has become a fact. Next, my Great Qin's goals are Lu, Qing, Shen, Wei!"

"The three major dynasties of Lu Qingshen are nothing to worry about. Even if the Lu Dynasty reforms, it is too late. Only the Wei Dynasty is our Great Qin's strongest opponent in the southern part of Kyushu. Its territory is not much smaller than my Great Qin's, and it is extremely Nan, it will be difficult for me, Qin Bingfeng, to touch Wei Jing within five years!"

"This means that the Wei Dynasty has at least five years to recover its national strength. These five years may cause the current Wei Dynasty to undergo earth-shaking changes. In order to slow down the recovery of the Wei Dynasty's national strength, I decided to stop doing business with Wei!"

"Stop doing business with Wei?" Jia Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, couldn't help being taken aback.

"That's right, the most fundamental thing of a country is the population, and the population needs food to feed, and the Wei Dynasty is encouraging people to have children, and the population will expand rapidly. The current amount of fertile land in the Wei Dynasty can't be self-sufficient at all, and it needs to buy food from the outside world. !"

"My Great Qin is the largest food supplier in the world, and the price of food is also the cheapest. Without the granary of my Great Qin, the Wei Dynasty can only buy from the three dynasties of Lu, Shen, and Qing at high prices. Therefore, my Great Qin not only has to cut off from the The commercial relations of the Wei Dynasty must also cut off the commercial relations of all countries in the world!"

"Let the countries in southern Kyushu usher in a food crisis. Of course, if we do this, our Great Qin tariff will always be zero, but it will also greatly weaken the strength of the countries in southern Kyushu. It's worth it. It's worth it. What do you guys think?" Ying Chang He explained to the ministers why Qin and Wei commerce were cut off, and also said that the trade between Qin and all countries was cut off, and finally asked the ministers what they meant.

"The ministers are no different!" All the ministers shouted together without hesitation.

"Where is the Minister of the Household Department!" Ying Chang shouted softly.

Jia Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, quickly stood up and responded, "The minister is here!"

"Send someone to the Wei Dynasty to investigate a matter, and ask the Wei Dynasty where the money is to encourage childbearing!" Ying Chang said solemnly.

Encouraging childbearing is very expensive. At the beginning, Daqin only implemented it in one county of Shangyang County, but the Wei Dynasty actually implemented a policy of encouraging childbearing in 38 counties across the country.

Not long after the civil war in the Wei Dynasty ended, the country was in dire straits, and there was no money to implement the birth-encouraging policy. There must be someone secretly funded by a mysterious force. If you don't find out who it is, Ying Chang dare not sleep too soundly.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to check, the minister also knows who is funding the Wei Dynasty!"

Ying Chang was surprised by Jia Luo's answer, and asked subconsciously, "Who is it?"

Jia Luo saluted with a solemn expression and replied: "Kyushu Bank!"

"Kyushu Bank?"

"Didn't the Jiuzhou Bank never ask about the political affairs of the country? How could it fund the Wei Dynasty?"

"real or fake?"

"If it is true that the Kyushu Bank is secretly helping the Wei Dynasty, it will be a bit difficult. After all, the money we use is made by the Kyushu Bank. With the support of the Kyushu Bank, the Wei Dynasty will have a steady stream of money!"

As soon as they heard that the Kyushu Bank was funding the Wei Dynasty, all the ministers began to discuss, making the hall instantly noisy, like a market.

"Silence!" Du Yushi Changqing sternly reprimanded!

The hall quickly fell silent, and all the ministers looked at Ying Chang to hear what Ying Chang meant.

"How did Aiqing know that this matter was done by the Kyushu Bank?" Ying Chang looked at Jia Luo expressionlessly and asked.

Jia Luo replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, you don't know. In the past, when the monarchs of the Kyushu countries gathered together in the Endless Kingdom, there was a mysterious person who donated a huge amount of money to the Hezong Division, a total of [-] million taels. Silver, [-] million stone grain!"

"However, this money has not been used yet. My teacher, the King of Qin, broke He Zong, so that this money was divided among Chu, Qing, Shen, Lu, and Han. I believe that when His Majesty breaks the capital of Emperor Han, he will also know about it." The treasury of the Han Dynasty has a huge amount of money!"

"Although no one knows who this mysterious person is, the only force in the world that can donate [-] million taels of silver and [-] million shi of grain is the Kyushu Bank. Knowing this, it is not difficult to guess the source of money for the Wei Dynasty to encourage childbirth. !"

When Ying Chang heard this sentence, he immediately thought of the large amount of money he found in the treasury when he broke through the capital of Yangzhai. At first he thought it was the accumulation of the Han Dynasty, but now it seems that the money undoubtedly came from the bank of Kyushu.

"Your Majesty, Han Hanku really has a huge fortune?" Zuo Prime Minister Yang Ze hurriedly asked Ying Chang.

Ying Chang nodded, "Indeed, but I didn't care about the source of the money at the time. It seems that Jia Aiqing's guess is true, but what I don't understand is why the Kyushu Bank resisted Qin? I don't seem to have provoked Kyushu before." Qianzhuang, on the contrary, our Daqin is now prosperous in commerce and goods, and the Kyushu Qianzhuang is the one that benefits, so why should we fight against Qin?"

Ying Chang really couldn't understand how a force that remained neutral would fall to another country.

Right Prime Minister Zhang Feizi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Kyushu Bank has survived to this day because the currency it made can communicate with other countries. All countries have to use the currency it made as currency in circulation. Therefore, the Kyushu Bank controls the economic lifeline of all countries!"

"But if I unify the Qin Dynasty, I will issue Qin currency to replace the currency of the Jiuzhou Bank. In this way, the biggest advantage of the Jiuzhou Bank will disappear. I believe that the move of the Jiuzhou Bank is to prevent the unification of the Qin Dynasty and consolidate the circulation of its own currency. sex!"

Ying Chang's face gradually became gloomy, so gloomy that he could drip water, and his eyes revealed anger!

In fact, he never thought of replacing the Kyushu Bank at all, because the Kyushu Bank never intervenes in the internal affairs of other countries, and only focuses on the affairs of the bank. The most important thing is that the Kyushu Bank is doing very well. Aspect is very professional.

It is the best choice to let the currency of the Kyushu bank be the unified currency after the unification of the Great Qin Dynasty. Let the court do it by itself, which may not be as good as the Kyushu bank.

Chapter 1056 Visiting Ma Boldly

But now, Ying Chang has changed his mind. After unification, the Kyushu bank must be replaced by Qin currency.

If not, the consequences will be disastrous!

Shangshu Leitong of the Ministry of Punishment stood out of the queue of civil servants, bowed down solemnly and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Kyushu banks are resisting us in Daqin. You should immediately notify the local governments to seal down all Kyushu banks in Daqin!"

Jia Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also stood up and wrote a report: "Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to set up a new department in the Ministry of Household Affairs to specifically manufacture the currency belonging to our Great Qin, so as to replace the Kyushu Bank!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Kyushu Bank should not be targeted at the moment!" Right Prime Minister Zhang Feizi raised his hand indifferently and said.

Upon hearing this, Jia Luo couldn't help questioning: "The Kyushu bank intends to destroy our great plan to unify the Qin Dynasty, how can we let it go!"

"It's not that he's dead, it's that the time has not yet come!" Zhang Feizi retorted.

"According to Prime Minister You, when will it be cured?" Lei Tong asked Zhang Feizi after Jia Luo.

Zhang Feizi looked up at Ying Chang, and replied with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, the Nine Provinces Bank controls the economic lifeline of all countries, including our Daqin. Once the Nine Provinces Bank is attacked, the Nine Provinces Bank is bound to die. !"

"Once this happens, Great Qin will fall into turmoil. Also, the Nine Provinces Bank has never funded other countries on the surface, which means that the Nine Provinces Bank does not want to completely break the face with my Daqin, and there is still a little room for it. If my Daqin takes action against it, the Kyushu Bank will Without any scruples, smash the cans and smash them, and devote all the power of the village to help the nations fight against Qin!"

"At that time, even if our Great Qin has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, it will be difficult to destroy the nations. I suggest that you treat this matter as if you have never heard of it, and don't deal with the Kyushu Bank for the time being. After our Great Qin is unified, we will come to settle accounts with them. Please learn from your majesty!"

"Prime Minister You is right!"

"Yes, yes, the Kyushu Bank cannot be moved yet."

"It's up to His Majesty to decide."

After Zhang Feizi finished speaking, all the officials were discussing in low voices. After the discussion, all the officials looked at Ying Chang who was sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform.

Ying Chang is the decision maker!

After careful consideration, Ying Chang said, "Zhang Aiqing is right, and I really shouldn't attack Kyushu Bank right now!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Feizi bowed and flattered.

"Your Majesty is holy! Long live my emperor!" All the officials also bowed down in unison to flatter.

Ying Chang got up from the dragon chair, walked down the high platform step by step, walked straight to Yang Ze, and said expressionlessly, "Follow me!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Chang walked towards the outside of the Qilin Palace with strides. Yang Ze quickly followed with the box in his hand. After a group of people left, they left the Qilin Hall.

Ying Chang took a group of ministers out of the palace, drove to the East Street, and stopped in front of a mansion.

There is a golden door plaque hanging on the gate of this mansion, and the door plaque is written with the word "Mafu" flying like a dragon and a phoenix.

This is the mansion of Polu General Ma Bold, the mansion given by Ying Chang after the end of the Northern Expedition to the Desert.

At this time, white cloth was hung on the gate of Ma Mansion, and white cloth was hung on both sides. The two servants of Ma Mansion at the door were wearing white cloth clothes with white strips on their heads. A servant kneels down and bows down.

"Ah~"

Ying Chang stood at the gate of the Ma Mansion, looking at the Phi Bai Mansion in front of him, not only sighed lightly, Ma Daudao, Ma Daudao, why did you disappear like this?

"How many people are there in Ma Daudao's family?"

Before the owner of the mansion came out to greet him, Ying Chang began to ask about Ma Bold's relatives.

"Returning to Your Majesty, General Ma's father and mother are still here. They have one wife, three sons and two daughters. The two daughters are married. One is married to the son of a merchant in Xianyang City, and the other is married to a teacher in Zhongdu Academy. The three sons also have children. He raised daughters and gave birth to seven grandsons and six granddaughters for General Ma.”

"The entire Ma family is full of money, and there are only 21 people!" Yang Ze replied, holding the wooden box and bowing.

"The population is fairly prosperous. Blessed is Ma Daudao, who has grandchildren!" Ying Chang smiled knowingly, sincerely happy for Ma Daudao.

At this moment, a group of people, old and young, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, rushed out of the Ma Mansion. When they saw Ying Chang and a group of important officials in the court, they all knelt down on the ground in flattery and bowed down: "The grass people Greetings to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The final general didn't know that His Majesty came, so he was far away to greet him, and please forgive me!" A 30-year-old man in the crowd kowtowed and apologized.

Ying Chang heard the man claiming to be the last general, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. He only listened to Yang Ze's explanation: "Your Majesty, this is Ma Dalang, the eldest son of General Ma. Captain!"

"After the news of General Ma's death came, General Yang Long gave Ma Dalang a funeral leave and went back to Xianyang to attend the funeral!"

After listening to the explanation, Ying Chang walked up to Ma Dalang, bent down and stretched out his hand to support the latter, patted the back of his hand and sighed: "Your father has followed me for fifteen years, and now I am very sorry for his death. I hereby take it with you." Important ministers of the imperial court, pay a visit!"

Ma Dalang bowed down flattered and replied: "Your Majesty and the adults are able to come to the door. It is really a blessing for my father and the three lives of the Ma family. Here, I will pay my respects to Your Majesty on behalf of my late father. Your Majesty's kindness will never be forgotten by the Ma family!"

"Okay!" Ying Chang nodded happily.

"Please, Your Majesty!" Ma Dalang took a step back to make way.

The young and old who were kneeling at the door also retreated one after another, and then Ying Chang led a group of ministers into the Ma Mansion, led by Ma Dalang, surrounded by the Ma family, and came to the inner hall in the center of the Ma Mansion.

There is a golden nanmu coffin in the inner hall, this is the golden nanmu coffin specially approved by the Ministry of Rites, it can be regarded as the last reward for Ma Bold.

Inside the golden nanmu coffin lay a headless corpse. This headless corpse was the headless corpse of Ma Bold that Sejong wanted to return from Chuying. Finally, put it into the coffin of golden nanmu.

Ying Chang waited for a group of ministers to enter the inner hall, surrounded by the golden nanmu coffin, looking at the headless body lying inside the coffin, everyone showed regret.

Yang Ze opened the wooden box, put the head in the wooden box into the coffin, put the head back in its place, Ma Daudao finally has no decapitation, of course, someone will come to sew up the head and the body later .

"woooo~"

"Bold! Woohoo~"

As soon as Ma Bold's head returned to its place, the Ma family cried desperately, filling the inner hall with sorrow and joy for an instant, and also made people feel heavy.
