Emperor Qin

Although it is said that he will return to Xianyang, it is not a matter of a day or two for the King of Qin to drive and prepare.

In the middle, it involves the allocation of grain and grass, route planning, various military garrison along the way, and the reception of counties and counties.

The terrain in Huaibei is very flat, which is suitable for the Qin army to ride with iron hooves. After the destruction of Zhao, a large number of good horses were brought under the rule of the Qin army. Zhao Guo relied on Li Mu's iron cavalry to resist the Huns and Qin. , Qin Guo had a big meal in terms of ordnance and military resources.

However, the lords of Chu State in Huaibei fled after hearing the news, with almost no decent resistance, and almost reached the speed of going to the city in one day-so smooth that even Wang Ben was a little unbelievable.

Here I want to talk about the system of the Chu State. When the King of Chu founded the country, he was conferred by the Emperor Zhou as a small viscount by the Xiangshui River, with a land of only fifty miles. Learning from the emperor of Zhou, he sealed the royal family to the south and tried his best to develop the southern natives. However, the mountains are high and the forests are dense and the transportation is inconvenient. The settlement of Chu culture.

The king of Chu manages the fief, and the king manages the fief, but the king of Chu cannot control the fief of the king.

And once the lords lose their land, as long as they don’t lose people, they can become the lords of the fief again when the king of Chu sends troops to recover the fief, but if the lords die at this time—the king of Chu will jump up haha Laughed, and accepted their fief with a smile.

At that time, the nobles shot and killed Wu Qi, wounded the body of King Chu, and implicated more than 70 nobles, which made the successor King Chu full.

Since then, the gap between the royal family of Chu and Zhaojing Qu's family has grown deeper and deeper, and even the king of Chu has started to support the upstarts of the Xiang family who have risen in the army, to fight these old nobles, and let the Jing family serve as the generals for a hundred years Next to the Xiang family.

"Feng Jun fled to Shouchun, for this reason, the King of Chu can call Kaifeng Jun Chaohui," Qin Wang put on the military situation, with a contemptuous attitude, "Otherwise, the Chu King will not be able to afford the army's food and grass."

Yan Jiang was also a little speechless for a while. Compared with the more than 200 cities in Wei today and the more than 30 in Qi, there are more than 70 cities in Chu State. It's too embarrassing for the younger brothers to hold a shareholders' meeting together, and everyone pools money together to collect food and grass.

"But if the king of Chu held a court meeting, wouldn't it be half a year already?" Yan Jiang looked at the map of Chu State, which is 800 kilometers from north to south, and more than [-] kilometers from east to west, and calculated that Feng Jun fled to Chudu, and then Chudu sent a message Let everyone come to the meeting, and then everyone comes together, and after the meeting, go home to adjust food and people—with the efficiency of the Qin army, when they finish these things, darling, how many times will the state of Chu be cold?

"Let the king of Chu deal with it first, and then go ahead with the court meeting." King Qin explained for him.

Of course, it is impossible to fight after the meeting. The king of Chu advanced money to start the war, and then everyone gave food and weapons to others.

No wonder Wu Qi and Qu Yuan's reform always failed. Yan Jiang looked at the map with great interest, then turned his head and said, "If the king is the king of Chu, what would he do?"

"If I were a widow, I would have already accepted Jiangbei as the king." Qin Wang said calmly that he would never let himself fall into such a situation of being controlled by others. "Only by controlling the army in Jiangbei can we deal with the Qin army."

Huainan and Huaibei are prosperous in water conservancy and commerce. They accounted for 20% of the taxable population of Chu State, and they were able to escape from the hands of the King of Chu.

After reading King Qin's deployment, Yan Jiang basically understood that this was a blitzkrieg, but——

"You still decide to let Li Xin lead the troops?" Yan Jiang objected to this point, "The destruction of Chu is such a big event, Li Xin is too young and rash, don't you worry about it at all, Your Majesty?"

"Naturally you are worried. I know you are worried," Qin Wang stretched his arms around A Jiang's neck, and smiled in his ear, "But Li Xinzhuang is brave, if you don't use him, why use Wang and his son again? You can rest assured, I have ordered The Bashu water army went south to help, and then let Meng Tian serve as the deputy general."

"But if you lose..." Yan Jiang still hesitated.

"Then you will lose," Qin Wangzheng said unquestionably, "I have won and lost!"

Yan Jiangxin said, but you can afford to lose, who are the soldiers to ask for reason...

"A Jiang still owes a little to the way of governing." Seeing A Jiang frowning, King Qin smiled slightly and explained to him in a low voice: "The Great Qin established the country with the army, not only the generals of the royal family, the brave and brave also need experience. "

Yan Jiang understands, this is King Qin's need to balance his military group, and he is also protecting the Wang family's father and son-for Qin to rule the world, the military nobles of Qin are jealous, if they all let Wang's father and son alone If a person eats it, he is afraid that he will die immediately.

As for Li Xin and Meng Tian, ​​one is for Qin to collect Longxi and town Zhu Rong; the other is for Qin to Ping Jin and break He Zong. They are the two largest military nobles in Qin State today. The King of Qin must give up his achievements in destroying Chu. , not only to stop the Wang family's father and son from dominating, but also to appease the old nobles in the army.

Thinking of this, Yan Jiang realized that Li Xin's legs might not stop beating.

If he breaks Li Xin's leg, it will be equivalent to slapping the old nobles who want to eat meat, and it will make people doubt King Qin's intentions. Moreover, there are generals in their family, either Li Xin or Meng Tian. There is Meng Yi...

This historical brilliance is overwhelmed, it is really powerless to resist.

Yan Jiang sighed a little for a while, seeing King Qin's determined eyes, he simply ignored the matter, held his head and kissed him, lest he would touch the mat quietly again and find the painting would be unsightly.

After seven days, Mr. Longyang finally got his own beautiful picture. After being regarded as a treasure, he immediately followed Yan Jiang's suggestion to collect rosin, find a knocker, and paint the whole picture with turpentine, preparing to make it a family heirloom.

In order to avoid King Qin's suspicion, Yan Jiang simply drew a charcoal sketch for King Qin, and then stuck it in the silk behind the king's portrait, so as to prevent Lord Longyang from being "killed and flattened". Thinking about himself, it is not easy .

Qin Wangzheng stayed in Wei for more than a month. He has strong deterrence and political coordination ability here. Zhao Hanyan does not mention it. The new Wei State has gradually entered the right track. From Juancheng in the east to Guiling in the north, As far as Maling in the west and Kunyang in the south, they have entered a state of non-resistance, and ordinary officials almost directly entered the political system of Qin State.

"It's really time to open an official department." Yan Jiang watched Qin Wang's attention to the relationship between officials and officials in all parts of Wei. , "Let all the officials in the world take turns to study and train, so that there will be no trouble."

Qin Wangzheng's eyes lit up: "This plan is very clever!"

Among the Sangong and Jiuqing in the Qin system, there was no special official system organization. Qin officials were trained. There was only a "master official" official under the county lieutenants in various places, who was used to arrange and train various officials in counties and counties.

He has been troubled by officials for a long time, and even some places have to be temporarily managed by the military nobles. Qin's generals, the government and the army are separated, and let them govern. It is really troublesome to conflict, but the Qin officials are hard to support. It is not an overnight achievement, everyone knows.

However, if these old small officials from the six countries come to Xianyang in turn to learn how to be officials, they are all scholars themselves, which is far less time-saving and labor-saving than re-cultivating one, and they are familiar with the customs of their homeland. Effectively control the time everywhere.

more importantly……

King Qin's political actions were reversed, the key points of Qin law, and the system of military merit can take the opportunity to educate these grassroots, and pull them from the old and expensive carriages of the Six Kingdoms to the carts of the Qin State.

He entered the working state, and immediately wrote a recruiting order, and let Yan Jiang see how it was written.

Yan Jiang read it again, and while his toothache made him talk too much, he put forward an opinion: "The old officials from various countries are far away from entering Qin Dynasty. It is better to establish an 'Official Court' in Puyang, Chencheng, and Luoyang, so as to facilitate the control of studying."

After you unified the six countries, China has become very big, and it is a bit forced to do what you want. Let an ordinary low-level official walk thousands of miles to Xianyang, and you won't let your family go bankrupt!These cities are all the old capitals of the princes who have been destroyed for decades, and they are not so loyal to the Seven Kingdoms, so they don't need to enter the pass.

Qin Wang glanced at him leisurely, and said indifferently: "A Jiang really loves the people like a son, although it is a bit troublesome, that's all, the widow is as you are."

Yan Jiang glanced at him sideways, and said: "The minister is really grateful."

Qin Wangzheng finally couldn't hold back the burden of being an idol as a king, and chuckled softly: "Ah Jiang has a great talent, how about being my Zhengqing?"

Zhengqing, the head of all the ministers, has a high position, especially above the prime minister. After the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes no longer set up this position.

"Why do you ask knowingly?" Yan Jiang snorted softly, "If I would answer, you wouldn't ask."

"You are not me, how do you know you shouldn't let me not ask?" Qin Wang lightly bit his ear, feeling very delicious.

"You are not me, how do you know that I know you should not ask me?" Yan Jiang pushed him.

"You are not me, how do you know that I know that I know that you should not ask me?"

……

After a lot of entanglement with the long sentences of chicken and egg, Yan Jiang felt that he was really stupid, and he was too lazy to say long sentences to him to compare his lung capacity, so he let Huahua bite him directly.

Hua Hua just got up when she saw King Qin again and said calmly: "I am wrong."

Although his face was full of victorious expressions, Yan Jiang ignored it and let Huahuazuo go back.

Huahua has long been accustomed to his capriciousness, so she sits next to his lap, crossing her master's legs and feet.

"You're too hot, go play in the water." Yan Jiang lifted Huahua's thick fur.

Huahua groaned in dissatisfaction, and threw herself into the bucket.

Finally came the day when King Qin set off.

After a month of deployment, almost September, Li Xin's army had already dispatched to Chu, Wang Ben suppressed the new land of Huaibei in the Chu border, and Qin Wang's boat sailed along the gap to the Yellow River, and then entered the Weishui River from the Yellow River. Guanzhong.

Yan Jiang boarded the boat with him as promised, ready to send him to the Weishui River.

The journey was smooth and calm, and soon arrived at Yuanwu County by the Yellow River. When Yan Jiang disembarked to collect scenery, he also met an old friend, not really an old friend, but just a one-sided relationship—the boy Chen Ping he met before is now an adult. , was hunting geese in the wetlands by the river as a dowry, and he was going to get married.

Yan Jiang congratulated him, and then saw that the childish young man was a little embarrassed, and asked him how long he was leaving. He wanted to invite Yan Zi to have a wedding wine.

Yan Jiang agreed, and then went back to the ship to tell the king that he had something to stay in Yuanyang for a day and would go back soon.

What can King Qin do? Of course he agreed.

Yan Jiang then took the tiger out of the boat, but when he disembarked, he looked back at the palace servants who were cleaning the deck.

It seems a bit strange.

The breeze blew, Yan Jiang smelled it carefully, but he didn't smell it, shook his head slightly, and walked downstairs to the boat.

He must have overreacted.
