The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Great Lu Dynasty, Taihe County, Lu City!

Palace!

Shengtian Temple!

In the Shengtian Hall, Dalu Wenwu dressed in purple court clothes stood on the left and right sides, and the young Dalu Qiyuan Emperor Lu Jia sat on a dragon chair and looked down at the audience.

"Your Majesty, I will pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" All the officials of Dalu knelt down on the ground one after another, paying homage to Lujia.

Lu Jiaxu raised his hand, "Everyone loves you!"

PS: "Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for monthly tickets, ask for full reservations, ask for rewards, and ask for four daily!"

Chapter 1067

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the officials kowtowed their heads in thanks, and then slowly got up from the ground, all with solemn expressions, staring straight ahead without a smile.

Yu Zhong, Minister of the Household Department of Dalu, stepped out of the queue of civil servants, bowed down respectfully and wrote: "I report to Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Quasi!" Lu Jia said softly with no expression on his face.

At this time, Lu Jia already possessed the majesty of an emperor. He could be said to be introverted and outwardly retracted, retracting freely, and exuding a majesty full of compulsion in every word and deed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this year, Dalu's fertile farmland has increased by 120 million mu and accommodated 20 refugees from various countries. Today, Dalu has a total of 430 million mu of fertile land and a population of 470 million. This year's fiscal revenue has also reached 220 million taels of silver and 200 million shi of grain! "Yu Zhong bowed down with a solemn expression and said!

Before Lujia ascended the throne, Dalu had a population of 400 million and 290 million farmlands. The average annual fiscal revenue was between 60 million and 80 million shi.

In the two years after ascension to the throne, the fertile land of the Dalu Dynasty reached 430 million mu, the population reached 470 million, the fiscal revenue was 420 million, and 200 million shi of grain. In terms of grain, it seemed that there was no growth, but in fact it increased greatly.

Before Lu Jia ascended the throne, the grain tax of Da Lu was [-]%, and the tax was heavy, which made the court rich and the people miserable. After Lu Jia ascended the throne, the grain tax was reduced to [-]%, so it seems that there is no increase, but in fact a qualitative leap has been completed .

"How much food is left in the treasury?" Lu Jia asked calmly.

"Return to Your Majesty, the current treasury has 450 million taels of silver and 400 million shi of grain!" Yu Zhong quickly replied.

The 2000 million taels of silver and [-] million shi grains in the national treasury are the money and food allocated by the Lu Dynasty to subsidize the joint vertical expedition against Qin, not the accumulation of the Lu Dynasty. Scattered.

Hearing Yu Zhong's reply, Lu Jia nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Now that the national treasury is full, I want to implement a policy of encouraging births. First, to quickly increase the population of our big Lu. Second, to attract refugees from various countries to enter Lu. How do you feel about it, dear ones?"

"The subject is no different!"

"The subject is no different!"

All the ministers bowed down one after another to agree, and none of them opposed Lu Jia's decree.

The reason is naturally that Dalu has the money to implement a birth-encouraging plan, and this encouragement birth plan will not harm the interests of the rich and powerful like the tenth-class peasant system. In this way, the minister has no reason to object.

"Then let Yu Aiqing handle this matter!" Lu Jia said aloud.

"Obey!" Yu Zhongzuo responded, and retreated to his own position.

Lu Jia looked at the officials solemnly and asked, "What's the latest move of the Qin Dynasty?"

Seeing Lu Jia ask this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were a little flustered.

Without it, Daqin is too powerful, so powerful that he feels suffocated when he hears his name!

He Jiu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, hurriedly stood out of the queue of civil servants, leaned over to make a salute, and reported back: "Your Majesty, since the Qin Dynasty unified the Northwest, it has not done anything for a year, but only encouraged the people everywhere to plow wasteland!"

"Send more people into Xianyang to inquire about the situation!" Lu Jia said with a serious expression.

"Obey!" He Jiu edited in response.

"Retreat!"

After Lu Jia left these words, he walked down the high platform and left the Shengtian Palace from the back hall, and quickly disappeared from the eyes of all the officials. After Lu Jia left, all the officials also left one after another.

...

Compared with the growing national power of the Lu Dynasty, the national power of the Qing Dynasty and the Shen Dynasty was declining day by day. The emperors of the two countries gradually lost confidence in the future, and began to abandon government affairs, drinking and having fun all day long.

However, the national power of the Wei Dynasty developed much faster than that of the Lu Dynasty, and the population and finances had improved.

Two years in a flash!

From the 30th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty to the 33rd year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, in three years, the Great Qin Dynasty devoted all its efforts to building national water conservancy roads and restoring prosperity throughout the country. It successfully completed the national water conservancy road project at the end of the 22nd year of the Sheng Qin Dynasty, and all parts of the country also returned to life.

After three years of planning and preparation, the grain and grass on the southern border of the Great Qin Dynasty have also piled up into mountains!

The first day of the first month of the 33rd year of Shengqin!

Emperor Yingchang of the Holy Qin Dynasty ordered Ai Qun to lead the Yangzhai camp, Sejong to command the Shouchun camp, and Yang Wu to command the Haoyue camp to go south. A total of 60 elite Qin troops descended like fierce tigers, rushing towards the only remaining kingdoms in Kyushu!

At the beginning of March in the 30th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, General Ai Qun of Huainan led a 20 Qin army in the Yangzhai camp to break through the capitals of Yun, Lu, Chen, and Wuzhong, and captured the kings of Yun, Yunzhongze, Lufen, and Chen. The instrument, the endless king, the endless sound!

Ai Qun wiped out the four vassal states in one fell swoop, and after the destruction of the four vassal states, Ai Qun continued to march southward, heading straight to the territory of the Lu Dynasty!

Great Lu Qiyuan Emperor Lu Jia was not afraid of the invasion of the strong Qin, and personally led 30 elite Lu troops to the north to fight against Qin!

In the middle of March in the 30th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, General Sejong of Hebei led 20 Qin troops in the Shouchun Camp to break through Jiangguo, Zhongwu, Cao, Dai, Ba, Nongyang, Zhang, and Xue. The capital of the country, the capital of the country of Gan!

All the nine vassal states were destroyed by Sejong, and the kings of the nine vassal states were also captured by Sejong. It has to be said that when Sejong annihilated the Dai state, he also ran into Chu general Xiang Tao and Xiang Xin. It was a pity that the two uncles and nephews Ran.

After Sejong pacified the nine vassal states, he rested for a whole day, and chose a day to send his troops straight to the territory of the Qing Dynasty!

Daqing Emperor Qianhu didn't have the guts of Lu Emperor and dared not confront Qin. While mobilizing troops to fight against Qin, he sent ministers to communicate with Sejong, intending to cede land and beg for mercy so as to protect Daqing.

At the end of March in the 30th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, General Yiyang Yang Wu led 20 Qin troops from the Haoyue Camp across the border of Qin and Wei, and entered the territory of the Wei Dynasty. The Wei Dynasty did not directly send troops to stop it, but let the Qin army go deep.

The intention of the Wei Dynasty is obvious. It intends to use the Wei Dynasty's vast territory to implement a strategic depth, and wants to drag down the Qin army's logistics.

Flash forward two months!

At the beginning of May in the 30th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, General Ai Qun of Huainan fought against Ludi Lujia for the first time.

In this battle, the Qin army wiped out 20 Lu troops and lost only a few thousand. The remaining [-] Lu troops were also scattered by the Qin army. Lu Jia finally returned to the imperial capital of Lucheng with only a few tens of thousands of horses.

It can be said that this battle made Lu Jia realize the difference between the Lu army and the Qin army. The difference is too great. The Qin army charged, and the Lu army collapsed directly. The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all, it is several levels behind .

Fighting against Qin Jun, Lu Jun is like a child without clothes, while Qin Jun is a fully armed brawny man, there is no suspense about winning or losing!

At the same time, General Sejong of Hebei fought against the Qing Army, and wiped out 30 Qing Army in World War I!

The whole country of the Qing Dynasty mourned!

Chapter 1068 The Fall of the Lu Dynasty

Flash forward two months!

The Great Lu Dynasty, Taihe County, and outside the northern city of Lucheng!

Thousands of steps away from the north city gate, there is a forest of black armor, which is no different from an army of black armor lined up in neat rows. Two hundred ugly bull-style artillery are located in the forefront of the Qin army, and their muzzles are aimed at the north wall of Lucheng in a uniform manner.

Since the defeat of the army led by Lu Jia, 20 Qin troops drove straight in, and finally knocked on Lucheng!

In Lucheng!

"Qin Jun is about to break in!"

"Hide in the house and don't come out, the Qin army's artillery is very powerful!"

"Yeah, the Qin army's artillery is very strong, hurry up and hide!"

The Lu people in the city fled everywhere in fear and trepidation, not daring to walk on the street. The Lu army patrolling the street was also extremely nervous and terrified. They were afraid that in the next second, the shells of the Qin army would fall into the city and turn Lucheng into a sea of ​​flames. !

Imperial Palace, Shengtian Palace!

In the Shengtian Palace, the officials of Dalu were like the common people outside the palace, their faces were pale and full of fear, Lu Di Luwan on the dragon chair on the high platform had a gloomy expression, looking at the panicked officials below the stage, he was also out of breath .

But at the same time, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

The Qin army was too strong, so powerful that it was unrivaled. In just half a year, they attacked from the Han territory to the imperial capital of Lucheng, which can be described as overwhelming.

tread... tread...

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and all the officials saw an eunuch hurriedly entering the hall. Seeing the eunuch's hasty expression, the hearts of all the officials tensed up, subconsciously thinking that the Qin army had launched an attack on the city, and for a while, All the ministers were ashamed.

The eunuch walked to the center of the hall, faced Lu Jia on the high platform, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, Qin General Shao Junguang begged to see His Majesty!"

After the words fell, the officials could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it was General Qin who asked to see him!

"Why did he come here to persuade him to surrender? Tell him, if I don't surrender, I swear to the death to live with Lucheng!" Lu Jia roared angrily!

"Your Majesty, let's meet General Qin. If we meet, there is still life!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, let's meet and see what General Qin has to say."

After Lu Jia's words fell, all the ministers remonstrated one after another, hoping that Lu Jia and General Qin would meet, what if General Qin came with hope?

Hearing the remonstrance of the hundred officials, Lu Jia couldn't help hesitating, and after thinking for a while, he said to the eunuch in a deep voice, "Let him in!"

"Obey!" The eunuch quickly resigned and left Shengtian Palace.

After about an hour and a half, a tall and straight general of the Qin army in his thirties walked into the Shengtian Palace under the guidance of the eunuch. I came here to persuade Lu monarchs and ministers to surrender under the order of Ai Qun, the fifth-rank Huainan general.

Shao Jun strode to the center of the hall with striding strides without any expression on his face, bowed down in a salute and shouted neither humble nor overbearing: "I am Shao Junguang, the fifth-rank Changfu general of Daqin, and I have met His Majesty the Emperor of Dalu!"

Lu Jia narrowed his eyes and looked at Shao Junguang carefully. In fact, he knew Shao Junguang. He met Shao Junguang last time when Qin and Lu fought.

"What are you doing here!" Lu Jia asked with a cold expression.

"He came to persuade you to surrender!" Shao Junguang went straight to the point without any inkling.

"Hehe!" Lu Jia sneered again and again, and shouted coldly to the outside of the hall: "Come here, drag him down and chop him up, and then hang his head on the city wall for public display!"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible, the two armies will fight without beheading the envoy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

Da Lu's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly stood up to dissuade him, but Lu Jia said: "The Qin army attacked us in Da Lu with the intention of destroying our Da Lu dynasty. Shouldn't he be punished for this crime?"

Shao Junguang wiped an arc at the corner of his mouth, and said with a sneer with disdain: "This general can guarantee that as long as His Majesty the Emperor Lu kills this general, the entire city of Lu will be slaughtered by our Qin army, and so on." The ancestral temple will also be burned by my Qin army!"

boom!

With a sound, Lu Jia slapped his palm on the imperial platform angrily, jumped up from the dragon chair, pointed at Shao Junguang and said angrily, "Are you threatening me?"

Shao Junguang shook his head calmly, raised his hand as a salute and replied: "This general is not threatening, this general is saving the lives of His Majesty and all the officials present, and also protecting your ancestral temple. Does Your Majesty want to see that the Emperor Lu Have all the tombs been dug up by our Qin army? Do you want to see your ancestral mausoleum being dug up by our Qin army?"

Shao Junguang seemed to reply, but in fact he questioned Lu Jia and the officials in the palace.

The officials in the hall were terribly frightened, and the legs of those with weak concentration had already started to tremble, showing fear both inside and outside their hearts. Lu Jia was also trembling with his hands in anger, and shouted angrily: "You Qin Jun! It's only 20, and there are 30 soldiers of the Lu army in my city!"

"Who gave you the courage to make you Qin army think that you can destroy me Dalu? Also, I have 600 million people in Dalu, each of whom can drown your 20 Qin army with a single spit. Where did you come from? How dare you be so presumptuous!"

"Hahahaha!" Shao Junguang couldn't help laughing wantonly.

"Why are you laughing!!" Lu Jia roared angrily.

At this moment, he felt that he was insulted!

Putting so many harsh words only drew laughter from General Qin.

Shao Junguang took a deep breath, forced to hold back the smile in his heart, and said: "It is true that my Qin army only has 20 soldiers, but our Qin army is all elite soldiers, and some of the Lu army in the city were defeated by our Qin army." Crushed soldiers, and some of them are recruits!"

"Furthermore, my Qin army is not only elite, but also has the advantage of artillery. Now there are two hundred artillery pieces outside the city. A round of simultaneous fire can turn Lucheng into a sea of ​​flames and a purgatory on earth. Your Majesty, the city will be destroyed!"

"As for the theory that 600 million Lu people can drown my 20 Qin army with a single spittle, I will not agree with you. Your Majesty Lu Emperor must not forget that you have 600 million people, but behind me, but Standing with hundreds of millions of Great Qin people!"

"Hundreds of millions of people from the Great Qin Dynasty can really flood the city of Lu with their saliva."

thump!With a sound, Lu Jia slumped on the dragon chair with all his strength, and Shao Junguang's words about the hundreds of millions of people in the Great Qin completely defeated his last line of defense.

There are hundreds of millions of people in the family, how can I fight against the 600 million people.

"Surrender...surrender.."

Lu Jia closed his eyes with a lonely expression...

Shao Junguang showed a knowing smile on his face, while all the officials in the palace lamented.

Da Lu is dead!

[Historical records of later generations: At the beginning of July in the 33rd year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, Emperor Qiyuan, the last emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty, surrendered to the Qin Army, and the Qin Army entered the imperial capital of Lu City, occupied the palace, and announced the official demise of the Great Lu Dynasty that had been passed down for more than [-] years]

...

Mid-August of the 33rd year of Shengqin!
