In the Dakang territory, Sichuan and Shu were already the westernmost frontier lands.
So Jinfeng doesn’t have many choices.
After looking at the map for a while, Jin Feng set his sights on Qin.
The 800-mile Qinchuan River is surrounded by mountains, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times and is also a famous granary.
In the history of previous lives, the Qin State was able to defeat the Six Kingdoms because of this fertile land.
Previously, the army led by Qing Xinyao was blocked at Dashan Pass by the Qin King's troops. It was not until Zheng Fang brought a hot air balloon to reinforce that Qing Xinyao was able to break through the pass and enter the pass.
Now, according to Jin Feng's instructions, Qinghuai led Tielin Army and Qing Xinyao's troops to garrison inside Dashan Pass, waiting for further orders from Jin Feng.
"Immortal, give the order and let Eagle prepare the airship. Let's set off to Dasanguan early tomorrow morning!"
Jin Feng planted the black flag in Qin.
The Ninth Princess was sitting nearby correcting the memorial. When she heard Jin Feng say this, she suddenly raised her head: "Husband, are you going to Qin?"
"Yes, Qin Di will definitely not put in a good word for us. I have to go to Qin Di to keep an eye on it. If there is any emergency, I can handle it in time." Jin Feng said.
Jinchuan is Jin Feng's base camp, so Sichuan and Shu are Jin Feng's base areas.
For more than a year, Jin Feng organized the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and the Zhenyuan Army to carry out bandit suppression operations on the Sichuan-Sichuan border many times.
Although the fundamental purpose of Jin Feng's suppression of bandits was to train troops, the common people did not know it.
Sichuan and Sichuan are mountainous, and it can be said that bandits are everywhere. The people have suffered from bandits for a long time.
In their view, Jin Feng was helping them eliminate bandits.
In addition to last year's cold disaster, Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, Jinchuan Bank, and Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce have been actively providing disaster relief, and the Xihewan Song and Dance Troupe has also toured various places in Sichuan and Sichuan, leaving a deep impression on the people.
Therefore, Jin Feng has great influence in Sichuan and Shu.
When they learned that the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau was going to allocate the landowners' fields to them, the people of Sichuan and Sichuan were all excited and lined the streets to welcome them.
But in Qin, the situation may be different.
Qin has always been the territory of the King of Qin, and Jin Feng's influence in Qin is almost negligible.
Some time ago, Jin Feng asked Qing Xinyao to capture King Qin, but before Zheng Fang arrived with a hot air balloon, King Qin escaped.
The land of Qin is surrounded by mountains, and trying to catch the King of Qin is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Although Jin Feng was angry, there was nothing he could do.
King Qin is Chen Ji's brother-in-law and can be regarded as the grandfather of the Ninth Princess.
At first, his fiefdom only consisted of one county, but over the years, he continued to send gifts to Chen Ji and then secretly encroached on the surrounding areas.
A person with short hands, Chen Ji accepted the things belonging to King Qin and turned a blind eye.
After so many years, although the King of Qin still officially controlled only one county, he actually controlled four counties, and his influence in Qin was unparalleled.
The King of Qin had a falling out with Jin Feng a few months ago. In the past few months, he would definitely speak ill of Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess in Qin.
If you just want to attack the city, Zhenyuan Escort Bureau can do it.
But when it comes to the delicate work of allocating land, Zhenyuan Escort Bureau cannot do it.
In the previous division of land between Sichuan and Sichuan, the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau also mainly served as a deterrent. Those who actually divided the land were scholars recruited and trained by Zhong Ming's group.
Qin was the first place outside of Sichuan and Shu to implement the idea of allocating land to local tyrants. Jin Feng was really worried if he didn't go and watch it in person.
"Husband, you told me that if a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, the Qin Dynasty will soon start a war. It is too dangerous for you to go there!"
Ninth Princess said anxiously.
"It's good that a gentleman doesn't stand behind dangerous walls, but I can't stay out forever, right?" Jin Feng said, "I'll ask Iron Hammer to bring more people, and it'll be fine."
Before the Ninth Princess could speak, Jin Feng continued: "Don't worry, I won't go deep into Qin, there won't be any danger!"
The Ninth Princess knew that Jin Feng had made up his mind and stopped trying to persuade him. She just asked Zhuer to send someone to find Qin Ming.
Qin'er, Zhu'er and Qin Ming are both old men who have followed the Ninth Princess for many years. After the Ninth Princess ascended the throne, she appointed Qin Ming as the commander of the imperial army, while Zhu'er became the head of the internal affairs.
In fact, the Ninth Princess originally arranged this position for Qin'er, but Qin'er refused on the grounds of physical inconvenience and wanting to retire.
Qin'er is now blind in one eye and lame in one leg. She proposed to retire, and the Ninth Princess could not force her to stay, so she agreed to her proposal and did not force her to serve as the housekeeper.
In fact, eunuchs had always served as the housekeepers of the Dakang Palace, but Jin Feng believed that castration was a very inhumane practice and abolished the special profession of eunuchs.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"
Qin Ming followed Zhuer into the study.
Some time ago, many imperial guards from the capital followed Luo Lan back to Sichuan. After the Ninth Princess ascended the throne, they reorganized these people to form a new imperial army.
Qin Ming is the new commander of the Forbidden Army, and his main responsibility is still to protect the safety of the Ninth Princess.
"Commander Qin, my husband is going to Qin. You lead a team of forbidden troops to protect your husband!"
"Yes!" Qin Ming agreed with clasped fists.
Today's Xihewan can be said to be the safest place in the world. The Ninth Princess has no need to worry about safety issues here. He, the commander of the Forbidden Army, has been very boring, and now he finally has the opportunity to go out and have some fun.
Just as Qin Ming left, the eagle came again.
"Sir, Iron Hammer said you are going to Qin?"
"Yes, prepare yourself and send me there."
Jin Feng looked at the map without looking back.
Eagle hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, I have something to tell you..."
"What's going on?" Jin Feng looked away from the map.
"It's Li Jishan," Eagle said, "He has been clamoring to see you. Did you meet him before sir going to Qin?"
Two months ago, Eagle took Li Jishan back to Jinchuan.
At that time, Jin Feng was busy directing the fight against local tyrants to allocate their fields, so he did not see Li Jishan and asked Ying Ying to arrange a random courtyard for him to live in, and see him again later when he had time.
The wait has ended now.
If Yingying hadn't mentioned it, Jin Feng would have almost forgotten this person.
Although the Ninth Princess remembered this, she didn't like Li Jishan at all, so she deliberately didn't remind Jin Feng and left Li Jishan alone.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot about him."
Jin Feng threw away the flag in his hand: "Let's go and see this Emperor Dangxiang!"
In particular, Jin Feng had no interest in Li Jishan, and the main purpose of letting the Eagle capture him alive was to demoralize Dang Xiang.
Our emperor has been captured, and many people will involuntarily think that the party is in ruins.
On the other hand, Jin Feng also hoped to disrupt Dangxiang's political affairs by capturing Li Jishan and plunge Dangxiang's court into civil strife.
But no matter what the purpose is, it has little to do with Li Jishan himself.
But since he asked to see me many times, it would be better to meet him once.
But just after walking out of the study door, Xiaoyu strode into the yard and said excitedly:
"Sir, I just got the news that the expeditionary force is back!"
