Chapter 234: Soldiers are the most powerful, and people are the most powerful [please subscribe]

The war in the north was always going smoothly. Emperor First Emperor accepted Zhao Hao's suggestion and developed it with peace of mind for one or two years before pacifying Nanyue.

But he didn't expect that the news of defeat came from the land of Nanyue, which greatly disappointed him.

When Wang Jian destroyed Dongyue and Minyue, Qin State took these two places into his own hands and established Kuaiji County and Minzhong County.

After the strategic adjustment, we first stationed troops to garrison the border, built the Ling Canal, and then pacified Nanyue.

But the various ethnic groups in Nanyue seemed to have noticed the intention of Qin, constantly attacking and harassing the civilians who built the Lingqu, and even clashed with the Qin army stationed in the garrison, defeating the Qin army and killing many civilians.

When the news reached Xianyang, the First Emperor was very angry.

He originally thought that if he did not order an attack on Nanyue, the various tribes of Nanyue should be glad, but he did not expect that the various tribes of Nanyue would be shameless and actually took the lead in taking action. How could this not make him angry?

At this time, in the Qilin Hall, several important officials of the Empire sat on both sides with a solemn expression, without saying a word.

Ying Zheng glanced at them and said straight to the point: "The specific situation will be explained first by the doctor first, and then you will consider how to deal with it."

After finishing his speech, Meng Yi stood up from the desk, walked to a giant map under Wangtai, and pointed at him and started talking.

"As for the news from South Vietnam, Your Majesty ordered me to summarize the four major changes in the empire in the last four major changes. First, General Weng Zhongfei, Longxi County, came to report: The new and old Huns and the old were alternating between the old and new Huns, and some Huns tribes joined forces with the Qiang tribe in the West Sea to capture the north of Didao.

some areas;

Weng Zhongfei invited 30,000 troops to defeat the Xiongnu and Qiang in one fell swoop, and pacified Longxi."

"Secondly, the main army of Qin State was divided into two parts, and the 300,000 cavalry stationed in Chu were already in command of Meng Wu, and they began to enter Kuaiji and Fujian-central counties to prevent the Yue people from taking advantage of the victory to cause rebellion."

"Third, Nanhai Road has begun to work hard to dig the Xiangli Canal. It crossed Wuling and headed south about a year. Huainan support camp has also begun planning. Several counties outside Hemane and outside will recruit hundreds of thousands of people to head south."

"Fourth, the Xiongnu in the northern border completely contracted their defense line and remained unmoved. The Donghu and Dayuezhi also gave up harassing the border between our Great Qin. Now the northern border is becoming peaceful, and Meng Tian is stepping up the construction of the Great Wall to stabilize the situation."

After listening to Meng Yi’s story, Ying Zheng nodded slightly, then stood up from his seat, looked around everyone, and said, “Everyone, even though the six kingdoms are destroyed, the world is still stale!”

As he said that, he slowly walked to the map and said, "There are troubles outside, there are changes inside, and I have also changed. The Huns covet our Central Plains. The remnants of the six countries are restless, the barbarians are preparing for war, and the four directions are uneasy. The changes in our side, one

The planning of troops exceeded expectations, and the second is that the southward advance was inappropriate, and the north might make a comeback;

At this time, whether the war against South Vietnam can be launched in advance is the axis of this conference."

"It is not impossible to conquer Nanyue in advance with the strength of our Qin Dynasty. However, the plan has begun when the national policy was finalized. Now that the rash change is made, it may be wasted!"

Wang Jian was the first to stand up and bow and said, "Besides, it is understandable that the various ethnic groups in South Vietnam prevent us from building a large canal. As long as the old ministers go south for about a year and withstand their harassment, the overall situation in the south will be worry-free!"

"What do you think?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

"I agree!"

Several important officials of the empire spoke in unison.

Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Li Si: "What do you think about Li Tingwei?"

"I agree with the old general's words."

Li Si stood up and bowed, then changed his mind; "But I think that if the tribes of Nanyue do not take my Qin seriously, they must be hit hard and destroy their majesty, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

"I will agree with this correction!"

Wang Jian nodded and agreed.

Lao Zhengguo stood up at this time and bowed, "I have a word from my old minister, Your Majesty, let me listen to it!"

"Old Ling has something to say, just say it."

Ying Zheng was immediately solemn and returned to the seat and sat upright.

But the old voice of Zheng Guo Lao rang in the hall: "Two days ago, Datian Lingfu had already fired cement. The old ministers would send all the craftsmen who fired cement to Shi Lu, and at the same time ordered him to be in Kuaiji and Fujian.

Several large cement workshops were built in the middle and two counties;

During this period, the old minister had an idea, which was to build a new cement road, reduce the burden of transport, and speed up the excavation of large canals;

In the past, a carriage or ox cart had a load of more than 200 stones. When it came to muddy roads, the wheels were easily trapped. With this cement road, the vehicle could travel day and night, and its efficiency was at least ten times higher than before. According to Lao Chen

It is estimated that the excavation progress will be completed in about half a year!"

"Old orders, I agree with it!"

As soon as Zheng Guo finished speaking, Feng Jie stood up loudly.

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian looked at each other and lights appeared together.

They are all long-term people. Although they have never seen cement roads, they are enlightened after hearing what Zheng State said.

Zheng State only saw the transportation advantages of cement roads, but they saw something deeper.

That is the speed of soldiers.

Speed ​​is the first priority of using troops.

Anyone who knows how to use troops will not pursue speed.

‘The morning comes and the gods are gone’, this is something that all the people will dream of throughout the ages.

A bold idea flashed through the two of them at the same time.

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian looked at each other tacitly, thinking about something.

"It is really unexpected that it can be dug out a large channel in about half a year. This cement road must be repaired!"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

He raised the palace and spoke in unison.

"Okay! Since you have no objection to Lao Ling's words, then according to Lao Ling's words, build a cement road leading to the canal!"

As he said that, he stood up again, walked to the paper map, and said coldly: "The people of Yue are ungrateful, and I will never tolerate it. The old general must attack the various troops of Nanyue this time. When the canal is excavated, I will completely solve it.

External troubles, calm down the summer!"

"The old minister follows the order."

Wang Jian agreed and was about to get up and leave.

The old prime minister suddenly stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, although the matter in Nanyue needs to be resolved urgently, sending troops to conquer and building new cement roads requires money and food. My Great Qin Treasury is no longer able to support it. Please give your Majesty a clear guide!"

"this"

The expressions of the ministers were frozen on their faces, and they subconsciously looked at Ying Zheng.

This is so embarrassing!

We took off our pants, and you actually said you had no money?!

As if aware of the concerns in the eyes of the ministers, Ying Zheng coughed lightly, and then looked at Wang Wan with a serious look: "I originally planned to discuss it later. Since the old prime minister has proposed it, I will prepare money and food.

Leave it to you."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Wang Wan was stunned.

I'll wipe it!

Your Majesty, you sixth brother!

How can this be done!?

Let’s not talk about the money and grain consumed by newly built cement roads, but the money and grain consumed by hundreds of thousands of troops are not a small amount.

It is harder to prepare money and food in a short period of time than to climb to the sky.

Wang Wan didn't feel that she was able to prepare so much money and food, so she hurriedly bowed to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, old minister."

He wanted to say that he couldn't do it, but Ying Zheng did not let him speak, and interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Recently, a batch of new ingredients has been shipped to Xianyang. I will allow you to get some back!"

"Um?"

Wang Wan was stunned for a moment, and soon reacted, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Okay! I'm going to bother Mr. Hao again.

He knew that his Majesty wanted Prince Hao to deal with political affairs with him, and fortunately, he had grown up during the Eastern Tour.

So, he responded respectfully: "The old minister follows the order."

"Okay, let's go down."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and signaled the ministers to retreat.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zhao Hao is discussing the production team with Linghu Fan, the historian of the Susu Province, and Zhang Cang of the Shaofu.

Zhang Cang was not here, but when he heard that Zhao Hao was going to find Linghu Fan, he decisively threw down what was in his hand and rushed over in a hurry.

There is no way, all his hopes are pressed on Zhao Hao now, so naturally he doesn't want his old opponent to get too close to Zhao Hao and ignore himself.

When Zhao Hao saw Zhang Cang, he was also amused and crying.
