Good Life in Qin Dynasty

At this time, the [-] people who had penetrated into the enemy camp at the border returned.

Just like last time, they were actually the Shanyu king's tent of the Huns who ran directly in the blizzard. The Huns camped in a place leeward of the wind and snow deep in the grassland to avoid the cold and snowstorm on the grassland, and many People gathered together, which gave opportunities to those who went to raid.

Li Jiyang didn't ask how they fought, but only knew that they brought back many good things!

In fact, it's not very good, but it's the best thing on the grassland. These people not only came back in full length, but also arrested Shan Yu and his Yu family!

Shanyu and Yu clan of the Huns?

"What's your name?" Li Jiyang was very interested in this.

Most of the Shanyu about the Huns in history are recorded in the "Han Shu" and "Historical Records" in later generations, but because the Qin Dynasty existed for too short a time and has been conquering six countries, the records of the Huns are special for the time being. few.

The Huns should have taken the opportunity to gather a small number of forces outside the pass and become a huge royal family of the Huns. However, it is the Qin Dynasty, and it is not the time of chaos in the Central Plains, and the Huns have not been given time and opportunity to develop.

The Xiongnu traded with the Central Plains, but as a unified empire in the Central Plains, the Qin State was open to foreign trade. A stone of salt was exchanged for a hundred cows.

"I don't know yet, I'll ask someone to ask." Ying Zheng asked someone to ask.

Li Jiyang knew that the Huaxia and the Xiongnu were actually of the same origin. After the fall of the Xia Dynasty in the [-]th century BC, a branch of Lugui, a descendant of the Xia Dynasty, fled to the north and became the Xiongnu after annexing other tribes.

Before the ninth century BC, the Xiongnu royal family, a descendant of the Xia royal family, was mainly distributed in the Ordos Plateau east of the Altai Mountains.

The Xiongnu is a new nation formed by the Scythians, one of the descendants of the Xia royal family, who conquered other yellow nomadic peoples and continued to merge and grow like a snowball.

Now it has firmly occupied the Hetao area. There are thousands of miles of fertile fields, lush grass, and rivers passing by. It is the best place to herd cattle and horses.

Li Jiyang is looking at that land, which will be designated as a natural pasture in the future, which can be used to breed war horses!

After a while, someone reported back: the captured Shanyu was called Touman!

"What kind of bad name is this?" Ying Zheng felt that this name was really incomprehensible, and he deserved to be a foreigner.

"This person is not simple!" Li Jiyang said, "This person is the leader of the Huns, the Shanyu of the first generation of Huns."

"Chan Yu?" Ying Zheng thought for a while, "Oh, the leader of the Huns."

"Shanyu's surname is the Tongda family, and the Huns call it 'Chengligutu Shanyu'." Li Jiyang explained to him.

The so-called "support plow" means "heaven"; "Gutu" means "zi"; "Shanyu" means "broad". "Support Ligutu Shanyu", the literal translation is "Son of Heaven", which means "the great leader under the sky".

Because the Huns had no written language, history relied on a few records in the Qin and Han Dynasties to infer that during the reign of Touman, although the Huns had developed into a powerful political and military force, the old ownership relationship had not yet been fully established. In addition, the development of new production relations and productive forces is not perfect. In addition, "East Hu is strong and Yueshi is prosperous", and the Central Plains area is under the rule of the powerful Qin Dynasty. Therefore, in a long historical period, the Xiongnu The power has always been confined to the area from Yinshan to the north of Hetao.

"Dare to say it!" Ying Zheng was unhappy when he heard that: "I am the emperor, and he is the great leader under the sky?"

Who does he want to lead? ?

Li Jiyang reassured him: "That is to say, you are the son of heaven, he is the great leader under the sky, under the sky."

This made Ying Zheng feel better.

Li Jiyang continued to popularize knowledge about the Huns to him.

Touman was the first Shanyu of the Xiongnu, the family of Tongda.Its jurisdiction is adjacent to Donghu in the east, Qin in the south, and Yuezhi in the west (the nomad between Dunhuang and Qilian Mountains during the Qin and Han Dynasties).

But this guy is most famous for his son. He has an unfavored son who will succeed him as Shan Yu of the Huns in the future. That son has a very famous Shan Yu title, Mo Dun Shan Yu.

He is most famous for killing his own father, and now Touman is the queen, and he is now the Chanyu!

This seems unbelievable to the people of the Central Plains, but it is quite natural to the outsiders, because their Shanyu position is reserved for those with abilities!

"Then the Huns are in a mess now, right?" Ying Zheng said enthusiastically, "Just send someone to attack!"

"It's better to occupy the territory first!" Li Jiyang objected: "It's not important to fight, it's important to occupy the territory. They don't have a leader now, and those sons of his are not the masters of the silence. I'm afraid they have already started fighting on their own. Chaos, let's quickly occupy the territory!"

Li Jiyang dragged Yingzheng into the bedroom of Panlong Palace, pointed to the huge sand table and said, "This is the Hetao area, the best pasture!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up!

He knows that Li Jiyang has a way to get the best war horses, but he also knows that this is not a long-term solution. No one pays attention now because they don't know the source of Qin's war horses. Some think it is a mutual market, some think it is border trade, and even more He thought it was a spoil of war. After all, after Qin succeeded to the throne, he was not polite to the Huns.

But if you have your own pasture, grazing and breeding war horses, there will be an explanation!

There are many secrets in Li Jiyang's body, and one can explain one by one.

On the second day of court, Yingzheng made a verdict on the leader and couple of the Huns: "Behead!"

"This?" All the ministers were shocked, especially Gan Jing: "Your Majesty, don't you think about it?" This is the leader and couple of the Huns, equivalent to their leaders, and they will be killed if they say so?

"You don't need to stay, Huns... Do you think they care about a captured Shan Yu and Yu?" Ying Zheng sneered, "I'm afraid the Huns are fighting among themselves now, and they have no intention of saving anyone." What's more, what treasures do the Huns have that I, Daqin, can exchange with him? In the mutual market, being able to exchange war horses, cattle and sheep is already giving them face!"

Everyone thought about it, especially the old general Meng Ao who had dealt with the Huns for half his life, said: "The Huns are not so polite, and now most of them are going to be out of their minds. What kind of leader and couple are useless."

So on the third day, the couple were publicly executed.

At the same time, the newspapers reported vigorously in order to let people know how powerful Qin Jun is!

Sure enough, some little tricks disappeared, and many people became honest again. In fact, it's okay for them to make a fuss once in a while, and they won't succeed anyway.

In mid-March, a cultivation ceremony was held. In April, the empress dowagers and empress dowagers of the two palaces and Mrs. Wan held a silkworm ceremony.

Li Jiyang was in the East Palace, looking at the eldest son.

The little guy has grown up now, no longer red, and the white and tender appearance is not to mention how cute!

And the little guy is extremely cherished by everyone in the palace, and there will always be a member of the royal family by his side.

Either one of the empress dowagers of the two palaces, or the empress dowager, or Mrs. Wan, the worst thing is that the emperor's younger brother guards him, and Li Jiyang often visits him, and even Ying Zheng sometimes guards him personally .

Now that the little one is full of milk, Yang Ke is lying there to sleep.

Li Jiyang watched over him quietly, and took a look at today's newspaper by the way.

The spring plowing in various places is in full swing, Li Jiyang couldn't go back to the spring plowing, Li Yaojiang returned to Lijiazhuang with a couple of sons and daughters.

In addition to presiding over Chun Geng, he also let the old housekeeper and the others see the two children.

The old housekeeper and the housekeeper's aunt valued the two children very much. Now Li Jiyang has already moved to the back of the list, and the two children are in the first place!

Today is the day for the Silkworm Ceremony, and almost everyone in the palace is busy. Li Jiyang only reads the newspapers and the children, and keeps the children out of his sight.

Even for breastfeeding, Li Jiyang is still sitting here, the nurse is holding the baby sideways and breastfeeding, Li Jiyang can see the baby's calves, they are very cute, and they even dangle when drinking milk.

It wasn't until the Silkworm Ceremony was over and Mrs. Wan came back that Li Jiyang left the East Palace and Ying Zheng waited for him in the dining hall for dinner: "You didn't go to the Silkworm Ceremony today? Look how small it is?"

"Well, there is no one at home today, so I went over to watch. He is very obedient, doesn't cry or make trouble, a bit like Fusu when he was a child." Li Jiyang also watched Fusu grow up, and felt that he was worthy of being Fusu's son. Very well-behaved.

"I got someone to prepare it today. We will go out in May!" Ying Zheng put a piece of tofu mixed with shallots on Li Jiyang's dinner plate.

"Travel?" Li Jiyang was taken aback: "Is it possible?"

"Why not?" Ying Zheng thought it was quite good: "I agreed to travel last year, but was delayed by the border affairs. Isn't the border going to be fine this year?"

So go out for a walk and have a look, it's good.

"But this year there are still things to do such as the money shop, the women's meeting, rectifying the atmosphere..." Li Jiyang gestured: "Is it appropriate for you to go out to inspect so many things?" Li Jiyang felt that starting from Qin Shihuang's succession, even if he When he was still the lord of Qin, things continued every day.

It used to be a bamboo slip, but now it is a memorial. There are tens of thousands of daily affairs in the Great Qin Empire, even if only one percent needs to be decided by Yingzheng himself. It is already very hard work for someone like Ying Zheng to insist on reviewing the memorials in person every day.

"Appropriate, Fusu has a son, and it's time to supervise the country!" Ying Zheng's face was full of anger when he mentioned this: "I have worked so hard for so many years, no matter what, he should work hard!"

Li Jiyang: "...!"

After eating full at night, I went out for a walk to digest my food. When I came back, I took a breather, rolled into bed and had some peace and quiet. After washing up, I had a good sleep.

Yingzheng started to prepare for the tour. Of course, the borders of Qin State began to expand outward.

Their expansion is very interesting. First of all, they started to build roads. The wide Qin Road is still very arrogant with five rows running in parallel, and there are ten rows of roads coming and going.

Afterwards, when the land was twenty miles away, a fortress was built. The fortress was so strong that it even reserved farmland!

Like a cobweb, a road was built outside the fortress, and another fortress was built after [-] miles. Shade willow trees were planted on both sides of the road, but the outer layer of the willow trees was full of thorns, thorny plums, etc. Wait, one is to prevent wild animals and small animals from approaching Qin Dao, and the other is to prevent cavalry from charging.

There are no barriers on the grassland, and they are flat, but when they encounter resistance, they can't charge at all!

Because they planted trees that have grown for several years and have deep roots, Li Jiyang deliberately took the spiritual water in the space and asked Ling Yi to send someone to water those trees so that they could take root deeper and act as a shield .

And the border side did come back to report. Some scouts went deep into the grassland, grabbed a few tongues and came to ask questions. The Huns were indeed in civil turmoil.

The dead Touman Chanyu had three sons with his Yu family, but he had many women, and he gave birth to five sons by her!

Daughters are not counted, almost each of these eight sons has a certain power, even brothers from the same mother, they never cooperate!

And because the eight forces really do not distinguish between each other, some people start fighting among themselves, and some people start to focus on other places, such as Donghu, Qiangdi and other tribes.

Steal others to grow your tribe!

The Donghu side did not stop, their leader was old, and the Huns came again, and the Guzhu and other tribes began to retaliate against the Donghu, and the Shan Rong went down the mountain to rob...

It can be said that the chaos has become a pot of porridge!
