Chapter 83: Do Princes and Generals Have Kindness? Follow-up】(1/2)
Chapter 83: Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have your own kind? [Please collect and read]
Seeing the ministers come back from their deep thoughts, Ying Zheng glanced at them and said calmly: "What do you think, ministers?"
"this"
The ministers looked at each other, looking at each other, not knowing how to answer.
They naturally know the temptations of overseas places.
But compared to the Land of Baiyue, it seems a bit unrealistic.
Because overseas places are too far away.
The Manzhou Kingdom alone was thousands of miles away from the Qin Dynasty.
Not to mention countries in other continents.
Although for the sake of profit, a spirit of adventure is needed, but doing it knowingly that it cannot be done is not taking a risk, it is a fool.
The ministers present were obviously not idiots.
Therefore, the atmosphere gradually fell into silence.
Ying Zheng also knew that it was impossible to seduce these old and cunning ministers with just a map of the world.
Because for them, meat that is visible but not edible is equivalent to having none.
So they will choose the meat they can eat.
But how could Ying Zheng fulfill their wishes?
Since we have to tie their interests to our own, we can't let them eat the meat in front of us.
Just when Ying Zheng was about to throw another 'bombshell', Meng Tian stood up and sighed: "Your Majesty, except for the land of Shenzhou, the other eight continents are far away from our Daqin. Even if our Daqin has other intentions,
Even Zhou is powerless!"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers looked at each other and nodded.
Meng Tian had a good military vision and could see the key at a glance.
Ying Zheng was not angry about this, and just asked calmly: "Has General Meng heard of this sentence, 'The road is long and long, and I will search up and down'?"
"this"
Meng Tian was stunned on the spot when asked.
Of course he has heard this sentence before.
This is a famous line from Qu Yuan's "Li Sao".
The original intention is that in the pursuit of truth, the road ahead is still long, but I will persevere and spare no effort to pursue and explore.
To put it bluntly, you must have an enterprising spirit.
The first emperor asked Meng Tian. The meaning is very simple. Don't you, Meng Tian, have any enterprising spirit?
How did Meng Tian answer?
Unable to answer!
This is a matter of justice.
However, Ying Zheng did not mean to embarrass Meng Tian. He just said calmly and solemnly: "When I was in a corner of the Qin Kingdom, I inspired to go eastward. Why? Because the Qin land is barren! The six countries regard us Qin as barbarians, and treat us Qin as barbarians.
The country is a tiger and a wolf!”
"So what if the journey is long? So what if there are many difficulties? Who can stop Qin from moving forward? The Six Kingdoms? No way! The Kingdom of Nine Continents? No way either!"
"Even if I can't conquer the Nine Continents in this life, there will be two, three, or even ten thousand lifetimes. As long as my Great Qin exists for one day, these Nine Continents will be in my Great Qin's pocket!"
"The sky is big and the earth is big, but I, Da Qin, am the biggest!"
After saying that, he looked around at the ministers and said domineeringly: "Do you still have any doubts?"
"this"
All the ministers were stunned by the First Emperor's words, and were so shocked that they could not speak.
Wei Liao looked deeply at Ying Zheng and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
After the first emperor's situation was opened up by Zhao Hao, his ambitions were also opened up.
He not only wants to be the master of China, but also wants to be the common master of the world. He is the real world.
Although he said that he could not conquer Jiuzhou in one life, he would have to do it in two, three, or even ten thousand lives, but Wei Liao knew his nature and he would definitely try his best to conquer Jiuzhou.
And in this life.
But, is it really possible?
Wei Liao doesn’t think it can be done!
Because Da Qin's logistics couldn't keep up, even if it managed to conquer some territory, it couldn't directly rule it. It could only plunder the products and transport them back to the country.
In this case, how can it be regarded as conquering Jiuzhou?
Obviously, when there is a mismatch between ambition and ability, it is easy for people to become overheated.
He now felt that the First Emperor was getting hot-headed.
As if he felt the same as Wei Liao, Li Si stood up after hesitating for a while, and said to Ying Zheng: "It is a good thing for your Majesty to be ambitious, but I have something unclear, please clarify my doubts."
Ying Zheng frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty entrusted the land of Baiyue because there is a broader world outside the Qin Dynasty!"
"But." As he spoke, Li Si changed the topic and continued: "Your Majesty asked me to look at the map of nine continents in the world. I think there is another purpose. Please clarify my doubts!"
"Your Majesty, please clear up your doubts."
After hearing Li Si's words, all the ministers suddenly came to their senses and agreed in unison.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile and said: "Wei Ting deeply understands my heart and understands it. Yes, I do have other purposes."
After saying that, he looked around at the ministers again and said solemnly: "Now, I will give you two choices!"
"First, accept the enfeoffment of the land of Baiyue. From now on, you will no longer resent me or criticize me. For the sake of the country and the people, the monarch and his ministers will work together to accomplish all the great things they can do in their lifetime, so that the achievements of the Qin Dynasty will last forever!"
"Second, seek a future for our descendants. Become a marquis from thousands of miles away and a king from thousands of miles away. Transform the nine continents in the world into a continuous extension for our Chinese people, and plant the black dragon flag of Great Qin all over the nine continents!"
"Therefore, the quiet China will last forever!"
"boom!"
The ministers were in an uproar.
Chaos, a burst of incomparable chaos, the situation got out of control again.
Some people were shocked and their scalps were numb.
Some people have clear thoughts, and their faces turn pale and red.
Some people seemed to have been cast on a body-holding technique, and were stunned in place.
Ying Zheng's two choices made everyone understand the meaning of conquering Jiuzhou.
He did not want the Qin Empire to directly rule the land of Jiuzhou, but wanted the Qin people to rule the land of Jiuzhou.
If one day, the Qin army invades Jiuzhou, and the territory they conquer will belong to them. They will expand their own territory and establish a country just like they did during the enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty.
At the same time, it worshiped the Qin Empire far in the east as its suzerain state.
The Great Qin Empire also ruled the land of Jiuzhou in disguise.
In this way, everyone's interests are satisfied.
Moreover, everyone's interests are tied together.
Whether it is for themselves or for future generations, these people will spare no effort to serve the empire.
There are only twenty levels of titles in Da Qin, and the highest is Chehou. For example, Wang Jian's Wuchenghou and Wang Ben's Tongwuhou.
It has never been done before.
Not to mention those with different surnames who were granted the title of king, not even the Ying Qin royal family or the First Emperor's biological son was granted the title of king.
What does Your Majesty say now?
Become a marquis from thousands of miles away, be granted the title of king from thousands of miles away!
What a temptation is this!?
Who can resist this temptation?!
nobody!
No one can resist it!
Thinking of this, Wei Liao couldn't help but take a deep breath, and even the way he looked at Ying Zheng changed.
Damn it!
Your Majesty, you are truly a ruthless person!
