No one knows where this rumor came from, and to this day, Longwei Mansion and Heibingtai have still not found out who the person who first spread the rumor was, and why they deliberately spread such rumors.
Naturally, Longwei Mansion and Heibingtai would not be lenient with such slanderous remarks about the emperor. What's more, Ying Yi, Ying Teng, Feng Quji and others who had been staying in Xianyang all knew the truth.
It was precisely because they knew it, and the timing of the rumors' emergence was too inappropriate. At that time, Hu Hai had just pacified the South China Sea and was at the height of his reputation. Therefore, Ying Yi, Ying Teng and others adopted extremely violent methods to spread the rumors.
Fortunately, this was not the first time that the people in Guanzhong had seen the rumors. What's more, after Li Si's death, the emperor's posthumous title and the corresponding measures did not look like the emperor was forcing him to die, and there were very few believers.
However, several important ministers of Da Qin knew it very well. There were many doubts in the court about the secret fight between the emperor and Li Si and Li Si's death itself. Therefore, Da Qin was the one who believed the rumors the most.
All the ministers in the court. Of course, no one would discuss it openly.
If the facts are true as the rumors say, then what Hu Hai did to Li Si was very similar to what the First Emperor did to Lu Buwei. It was even worse than the First Emperor.
You know, the second emperor first killed his teacher, and then when he was in control, he forced Li Si, who had single-handedly pushed him to the throne, to die. Afterwards, he treated Li Si with the utmost dignity, and Li Ji was still the queen.
Li You was even appointed as Prime Minister You.
Compared to the First Emperor, his determination and forbearance seemed to be even greater.
Thinking about what Hu Hai said and did in the court after Li Si died, everyone knows that no one in the court is worthy of the emperor's fear like he treated Li Si, not even Meng Tian. Just like today's several edicts.
, the emperor directly issued an edict to the world without discussing it with anyone.
As expected of a father and son.
You can hear needles dropping in the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
Sitting among the ministers in the palace, Hu Zhong saw for the first time the powerful Qin Empire's court meeting, and for the first time he saw such a magnificent palace that looked like a heavenly palace. What made him even more in awe was that the man who seemed to be taller than his youngest son
It is much more majestic than the much younger Emperor Qin, who was full of civil and military officials in the palace.
One thought can end the lives of thousands of people, and one thought can turn a chicken into a phoenix.
"Well, since you all have no objections, I will explain it to my imperial censor. Come on, my beloved, please come forward." Hu Hai had already expected such a scene and could
People who can speak out and be able to remonstrate with ministers have been very good in China's history for thousands of years.
It is rare that there is still one in Da Qin today.
There was no pretense in Dunwei. He walked up to behind Hu Hai, bowed and said nothing.
"This is the map of Great Qin that I ordered the Longwei Mansion to spend three days on. Can you tell the difference?" Hu Hai touched his chin and stared at the map without looking back.
To be honest, Hu Hai is very satisfied with this map, at least for now.
Dun Ruo glanced at the map and bowed: "Your Majesty, there are four more counties."
"anything else?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being clumsy."
"..." The smile on Hu Hai's face couldn't help but freeze.
"Okay, I understand that Dun Aiqing is old." Hu Hai laughed twice, reached out to take the Xuanyuan Sword from his waist, held it in his hand, and waved it on the huge map to scold Fang Qiu.
"This is the territory of the Qiang people and the Yuezhi. This is Langjuxu Mountain. Well, this is the Xiliao River. This is Hulunbuir Lake. The blue area from here is the sea. In this vast place, Aiqing can see
What?"
"Your Majesty, these places are thousands of miles away from Guanzhong and more than ten thousand miles away!"
"..."
"The people of Donghu have surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. What do you think the beloved prince of Donghu territory should do?" Hu Hai took a deep breath and controlled himself not to accidentally hit Dun Rui's head with the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.
But he didn't know that all the officials in the palace were frightened when they saw Hu Hai taking off the long sword from his waist, fearing that Hu Hai would draw his sword in anger and cut Dunwei down in the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, just leave it to the people of Donghu to graze and raise horses. Why build a city?" Dunruo looked at Hu Hai like an idiot and asked.
"You..." Hu Hai was furious.
Does this old man really want to say in front of Hu Zhong in the main hall of Xianyang Palace that the county was established to enclose a large area of land, and there are massive minerals under the land. The city was built to occupy this land for a long time.
By the way, let the Donghu people and the Huns kill you to death?
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Feng Quji, Ying Teng and others all stood up and said loudly.
"Please step aside, I love you. Come to the study to see me after the court meeting, and I will have a good discussion with you." Hu Hai found that it was really difficult to discuss such things at the court meeting, so he could only settle for the next best thing.
"Old minister, I obey the order! Your Majesty, I hope your Majesty will think twice!" He bowed weakly and then added.
"Haha, the two prime ministers, the love ministers of each government will come to the government hall together after the court meeting to discuss this matter!"
"Here!"
…
After this entanglement, Hu Hai no longer had the idea of continuing to discuss the establishment of a county and the construction of a city at the court meeting and come up with the results. He found that sometimes he still thought too simply.
Indeed, this era is unlike later generations. Any corner that has never been looked at before may trigger a war and cause endless wars of words between the two countries.
It seems that the concept still needs to be changed.
Even veterans like Dun Ruo think that Inner Mongolia and the Northeast Plains are barbaric lands, let alone ordinary Daqin people.
"Where is Hu Zhong?"
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, your servant Hu Zhong obeys your call!"
Hu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then he ran out of the seat and crawled at Hu Hai's feet. He seemed to want to kiss Hu Hai's shoes.
"Get back on your feet." Hu Hai took two steps back, avoiding Hu Zhong's attempt to kiss his shoes, and said with a smile.
I don't know why, but every time he sees a foreigner like Mohu'er wearing Daqin robes and using the mixed etiquette of the grassland nomads and Daqin, it makes him feel inexplicably better.
Isn’t what you do a bit too impersonal?
Calm your mind.
"The Donghu people will be divided into two groups, and 200,000 Donghu people will be recruited to return to the Daliao River and become people of Inner Mongolia County; the remaining Donghu people will follow you to stay in Pingyi County. The cities built by the two counties will be handed over to
The people of Donghu are dead. What do you think, Aiqing?" Hu Hai asked harmoniously.
"Your Majesty, the great emperor, your order is the mission of the Donghu people, and your Donghu people are willing to die for you!"
"..."
Hu Zhong’s ability to learn now and put it into practice is indeed good.
"You're fine." Hu Hai stepped forward slowly and patted Hu Zhong on the shoulder.
"Most of Pingyi County is the land of the Xiongnu, and there should be a large number of Xiongnu tribes in it. Aiqing can lead the tribal cavalry to recruit the Huns to build the city. If my Donghu people are recruited to build the city, they will be compensated with food and copper coins on a monthly basis in accordance with the court regulations.
, I will order Shangfang to inform Aiqing.
However, although the Huns were defeated by the Suzaku Army, the traitor chief Maodun is still there, and they will definitely counterattack in the future. My dear, you need to be careful. Of course, I will also order the Taibao Lord Jiuyuan Army to go north to flatten the barbarians and encircle and suppress the Xiongnu barbarians. However, Jiuyuan
We are far away from Pingyi County, and it is difficult for the army to move with heavy equipment. My dear, please do not be careless and don't let me down."
The Xiongnu counterattack is inevitable in Hu Hai's view. And the Jiuyuan Army is even less likely to be on the front line against the Xiongnu. The timing of the Jiuyuan Army's appearance can only be determined by Meng Tian himself. It is expected that Meng Tian already knows about his new setup at this moment.
The four counties, especially Pingyi County, are the destination.
However, Hu Hai needs to explain these things clearly to Mohu'er. Nomads respect the strong and they also don't like to beat around the bush. It just so happens that Hu Hai doesn't like to beat around the bush either. Some possible situations are discussed in front of him. Mohu'er will be more dedicated if he knows what's going on.
Are you working for Da Qin?
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, your servant Hu Zhong thanks you for your gift! Your servant will definitely let the Huns build a great city for His Majesty the Great Emperor and give it to His Majesty the Great Emperor."
Sure enough, after hearing Hu Hai's words, Mohuer once again knelt on the ground and burst into tears of gratitude.
In any matter, if there is a comparison, there will be pros and cons. Obviously, compared with the Huns who enslaved the Donghu tribe before, it is clear who is the right side and who is the wrong side in Da Qin at this moment.
"I will order Jiuyuan to deliver grain, salt and other supplies to Aiqing Pingyi County on a regular basis. If Aiqing needs anything, please inform the Taibao Lord in Jiuyuan. I will order the Taibao Lord to help Aiqing with all his strength. As for Pingyi
, Anhou, Hulunbuir, the three cities, I will stay with you for five years. After five years, I will patrol the north and establish four new counties. If the people live in peace and have food and clothing, I will give you many rewards."
Hu Hai once again threw a big pie at Mo Huer.
…
Mohuer retired with satisfaction. Perhaps this was the so-called "being sold" and he was still counting the money for him.
Hu Hai walked up the jade steps and looked down at the ministers in the palace.
"I ordered the Taipu Mansion to immediately send people to Jiuyuan to register a number of Donghu horses, old, weak, sick and disabled. From the Xiongnu war horses obtained by the Suzaku Army, select good horses and distribute them to the Jiuyuan Army. As for the number, the Taipu will follow the Taibao
Just what adults need.
Pingyi general Li Xin will follow Hu Zhong back to Jiuyuan tomorrow, accompanied by five thousand soldiers of the Suzaku Army. One hundred thousand Pingyi military supplies will arrive at Hulunbuir Lake within three months to prepare for the establishment of Heilongjiang County.
Meng Yun mobilized 50,000 cavalry from the Jiuyuan Army to escort 200,000 Donghu people northward to prepare for the establishment of Inner Mongolia County. The same period was limited to three months. Qinglong General Xu Chuang waited until the Qinglong Army returned to Xianyang, and immediately led the army northward to prepare for the establishment of Liaoning County.
Shangji Mansion, Zongsu Neishi Mansion, Zongzheng Mansion selected officials, allocated food supplies and ordnance, Longwei Mansion and Heibingtai sent people to the newly established four counties in advance, drew maps, and made complete preparations for the entry of the army. The four counties
All new cities will be built within a five-year period, so there is no need to rush for success."
"I obey the decree!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
