In fact, Ying Jingyu also felt some of the problems Feng Tuo said, but he didn't understand the current detailed situation of Qin as well as Feng Tuo.
The Third Emperor of Qin said with joy on his face: "The Prime Minister's words are so inspiring that he deserves to be an important minister of the former dynasty."
Feng Tuo bowed and said: "Your Majesty, as an old Qin citizen, no one wants to see the Qin Dynasty perish. If it were the time of the First Emperor or the Second Qin Dynasty, no minister would dare to say this."
"But the current crisis in Qin is unprecedented. Even if the king regains control of the Qin Dynasty, facing millions of lions from the six kingdoms who are taking advantage of the victory, the chance of winning is much smaller than when facing the union of the six kingdoms. If I continue to have selfish motives, I will treat the king
, he is an eternal sinner to the capital of Qin."
Ying Jingyu nodded in agreement and said: "The Prime Minister has pointed out the key points of the Qin State in every sentence, and he should be the pillar of our great Qin Dynasty. The temple now needs talents like Feng Tingwei who dare to give direct advice."
"But now that Wei Ting has pointed out the problem, is there any short-term solution to various problems? The most important thing is to unite the people of Great Qin to the greatest extent!"
Feng Tuo said: "Your Majesty, the young master is a rare wise king and a hero in our Qin Dynasty. This is a great benefit!"
"The most lacking thing in military affairs in the imperial court is talents, and the discovery and cultivation of talents cannot be accomplished in a day. It will take many years to restore the temple's former vitality."
"But it is not an unsolvable situation. As long as our king makes Qin's laws effective, and the grassroots officials in office are afraid of my king's power and the severity of Qin's laws, and do not dare to slack off and play tricks out of fear, the current stability problem at the grassroots level in Guanzhong will be solved."
"What the military lacks the most is a long-lasting and famous general who can truly win battles. There are also too few grassroots generals with battlefield experience. However, I would like to recommend someone to the king. The king and the young master can consider it. He may be able to help our Qin army.
Short general problem."
After hearing this, Ying Jingyu was very curious. What other famous generals can be found in Guanzhong now? The famous generals left by the First Emperor are old and dead. A large group of them were tricked by Zhao Gao, and a lot of them died on the battlefield.
It seems...all the famous generals have disappeared, right?
Jing Yu looked puzzled and said, "Who is the famous general recommended by Tingwei? In my impression, there is no one in Xianyang City who has such experience to hold the position of general."
Feng Tuo raised his head and glanced at the puzzled expressions of everyone, as if they were all waiting for Feng Tuo to say the name of the mysterious general.
Feng Tuo raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "This old man... I can't call him old, but his qualifications are indeed old enough. Your Majesty and everyone have heard of this person."
"..."
"This man's surname was Li Mingxin. When he was less than 30 years old, he had commanded more than 100,000 Qin soldiers. As the chief general, he led the war to destroy the country. When he was more than 30 years old, he served as the vanguard general to destroy Chu... After the army was defeated and returned to Qin, the First Emperor did not punish him too much.
This person has never been reused since then."
Everyone shouted: "What? Old General Li Xin? Is he still alive?"
Feng Tuo said with a smile: "General Li Xin is only a few years older than I am. He is now 45 years old. He became famous earlier and then faded away. That's why the king thought that Li Xin was old and weak."
Ying Ziying paced back and forth in the hall excitedly. She originally thought that all the famous figures in the First Emperor's period had been killed by Zhao Gao, but she did not expect that Li Xin escaped this disaster because he was defeated in the war against Chu when he was young and was not reused.
Ziying said excitedly: "Having such a famous general sitting in Guanzhong is really a blessing from God to our Qin Dynasty!"
Ying Jingyu, however, was calmer and asked: "Feng Tingwei, General Li Xin is indeed a famous general and has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty."
"But I heard that during the period of the destruction of Chu, General Li Xin underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, causing the Qin Dynasty to lose more than 100,000 horses and was replaced by General Wang Jian. A person's habits are the most difficult to change, and Li Xin has not led troops for a long time, and has been sparse in battle formations for a long time. Tingwei
How can we be sure that Li Xin can take on this important task?"
Feng Tuo said seriously: "No, General Li Xin was defeated because he was young and energetic, eager to win, and wanted to make quick achievements to gain the recognition of the First Emperor, so he committed a military taboo! This is Li Xin's fault. But it cannot be said that Li Xin was
Xin has no attainments in the art of war and does not understand military matters."
"General Li Xin was deprived of all his titles during the reign of Qin II and demoted to a commoner. Because his father Feng Jie had some contacts with Li Xinsu, when he was demoted and was discouraged, he often went to General Li's house to discuss military arguments.
, Yishu felt helpless and ambitious."
"But at this time, when the young General Li Xin was abandoned by the First Emperor, he also spent some days in decadence. Although he could not make achievements on the battlefield and show his ambitions, his obsession and in-depth study of the art of war never stopped."
"Li Xin was deeply worried about the defeat of Chu in the past, but now he laughs it off. I can feel that in his old age, Li Xin has profound attainments in military science and his mature and steady indifference. He is completely different from when he was young.
..”
"Nowadays, those who can lead large armies in Guanzhong are afraid that no one can surpass Li Xin... He has the demeanor of the old general Wang Jian."
After finishing speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall.
King Qin Ying Ziying was as happy as if he had grasped a life-saving rope. Thousands of armies are easy to obtain, but famous generals are hard to find...
With Li Xin alone, he might be able to command tens of thousands of Qin soldiers. Now the famous general that Qin is most in need of has finally been found.
Ying Ziying calmed down his slightly excited mood and said with a solemn face: "I have heard that General Li Xin was very talented in military science when he was young, and was highly valued by the First Emperor. However, he learned his shame and became brave. I think Li Xin will be more stable and control the army than before.
.”
"But Feng Tingwei, is General Li still willing to serve me, Ying Qin?"
After hearing this, Feng Tuo smiled and said: "What are you saying, Your Majesty? If you allow your ministers to die, they will have to die. How much more will you make great contributions and protect the people in Guanzhong?"
"As long as the king gives an order, Li Xin will definitely come to the palace to pay homage to the king and take orders."
After Ying Jingyu said this to Feng Tuo, he had a deeper understanding of Li Xin. If he really studied military formations at home as he said, then it is indeed different...
Jingyu looked at King Qin and said: "Father, such a famous general was demoted by Qin II. Why don't we go to Li Xin's house in person now and have a talk with him. Showing my sincerity to the royal family will make General Li more able."
I am grateful to the King of Qin for serving the Qin Dynasty."
Feng Tuo hurriedly said: "Young master, you don't have to be like this. Li Xin is a commoner, so he shouldn't be so generous. If there is a king's order, he Li Xin will die generously and will not dare not to obey."
Ying Ziying frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "No, as a famous general during the First Emperor's period, he has been through three dynasties. But I have just become the new king, so I have to personally visit General Li to show my sincerity. I have decided to go to Li Xin's house together now!"
"Here, my lord!"
Ziying suddenly remembered something and said: "Feng Qing, the current priority in the Qin Dynasty is Guanzhong. The Guhui will order a ban on all unreasonable corvee as soon as possible. Stop the expansion and construction of Xianyang City, Epang Palace, mausoleums, Chidao, etc., and release the prisoners who are doing corvee service."
Those who returned to their hometowns were encouraged to farm mulberry trees or enter the Qin camp to benefit the Qin Dynasty."
"I hope Feng Qing will help me formulate policies and promulgate laws in order to stabilize the people of Guanzhong as soon as possible."
Feng Tuo was shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect that the King of Qin not only listened to what he just said, but also decisively ordered the abandonment of the useless corvee on the spot to calm people's hearts.
Feng Tuo knelt down in excitement and said in a trembling voice: "Tuo Dan obeys the king's order and swears to the death to safeguard the stability of the Qin Dynasty!"
Qin Sanshi nodded: "Get up, Feng Qing, the internal affairs in Guanzhong have been decided. Take us to see General Li Xin quickly."
