When Hu Hai came to the Orthodox Hall, the five auxiliary ministers of the cabinet and the twelve ministers of the six ministries in the court had been waiting in the Orthodox Hall for a long time.
Naturally, they could not know the content of the letter from Longwei Mansion, but was summoned by Hu Hai.
Since the Battle of Jiuyuan, the confidant Huns who had been invading the northwestern border of the Qin Dynasty for more than a hundred years were severely injured and lost the royal court's Langjuxu Mountain, they no longer had the ability to go south.
In the battle of Pingyi County, due to the timely rescue of the Menghao Jiuyuan Army, coupled with Hu Zhong, Mohuer, also made a desperate bet, it completely extinguished Maodun's luxury of taking advantage of the opportunity to regain Langjuxu Mountain.
When the Yuezhi people were driven out of the western border of the Qin Dynasty by Maodun in advance, the Qiang people were robbed by the Qin Dynasty and dispatched more than 100,000 troops to clear them out due to the night attack in Longxi, the entire northwestern border of the Qin Dynasty, within these three years
It is unprecedented stability.
The people in Jiuyuan, Longxi and northern regions no longer need to live a life in fear.
Relatively speaking, this attack in Bijia City, Hexi County, should be said to be the first time that the Qin Dynasty was invaded by alien forces in the past three years.
Although Hu Hai had some outlines in his mind, since the Cabinet Office had been established and had granted the power to govern the government, and he would continue to delegate power to the Cabinet Office, it would naturally be impossible to exist as a decoration only. The sixth department in the Central Committee of the Court
It cannot be just like a sound tube.
"I welcome your Majesty!" The ministers saw Hu Hai appear and said in unison.
"No need to be polite!" Hu Hai waved his hand and sat down on the main hall. "Do you all have a conclusion on the affairs of Bijia City?"
Hearing Hu Hai’s question, all the important officials were silent.
They had not received any news before, but they came to the Zhengzheng Hall. The cold female commander of the Longwei Mansion introduced the situation. Only then did they know that a city called Bijia City, which was thousands of miles away, was attacked.
.
However, I don’t even know who the attacker was. Is it a bit too early to say whether there is a conclusion?
Hu Hai saw that the five old officials in the cabinet, including Wei Liao, Feng Quji and Ying Teng, did not say anything and pondered for a while. He seemed to remember something and said, "Come on, submit the information collected by Longwei Mansion to you.
Adults took a look.”
In today's era, even the one-acre and three-point land under its own rule cannot be managed well. Who has the intention to pay attention to those small foreign countries that are thousands or tens of thousands of miles away from the Qin Dynasty?
Even the Qin Dynasty's confidant troubles, the place where the Huns' royal court that had been fighting for years was, not to mention the numerous small countries in the Western Regions that were far and remote than the Huns.
Of course, even if the Qin people want to pay attention to the countries in the Western Regions, they still need information, right?
The so-called information collected by the Longwei Mansion naturally cannot be true.
Most of the previous focus of Longwei Mansion was the Huns, Yuezhi and Qiang people, the foreign races entrenched in the northwest border of the Qin Dynasty, had not been able to travel through the territory of these foreign races and directly enter the farther Western Regions to collect information from these small countries.
Therefore, the information made by Hu Hai had already written down through his memory and prepared to be used later. After all, if the Qin Dynasty wanted to continue to go west, then the many small countries around the Tarim Basin would definitely be the first goal to solve.
.
This time, after the attack in Bijia City was sent to Yumen Pass, the secret spies of the Longwei Mansion who were in Yumen Pass even sent messages earlier than the messenger Su Jiao rushed to Guanzhong.
However, the red message was delivered to Xianyang within seven or eight hours, and the messenger who conveyed military information by General Su Jiao of Hexi County was probably at least five days before he could reach Guanzhong.
The information transmission channel of the Longwei Mansion, which has been built for several years, has finally begun to pay off.
Cao Shen, the doctor in the emperor's study, led a group of palace maids to deliver the prepared information about the countries in the Western Regions to a group of important officials such as Wei Liao.
As the information was obtained, the Political Consultation Hall gradually became quiet.
After a while, Wei Liao first put down a few thin pieces of paper in his hand, "Your Majesty said that the attack on Hexi this time was done by these small countries in the Western Regions?"
When the ministers heard Wei Liao's voice, they put down the paper in their hands and listened with their ears.
No one doubts whether the things written on these thin pieces of paper are true. Countless experiences have proved that there are few errors in the information of Longwei Mansion. The emperor himself seems to be even more than Longwei Mansion in places outside the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Learn more.
"If what we expected is not bad, it should be the small Western Regions country close to Hexi County." Hu Hai nodded.
In the surrounding area of Hexi County, when the Yuezhi and the Qiang people were driven away, it seemed that only those small countries in the Western Regions might take action without understanding the strength of the Qin Dynasty.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people add fuel to it. And this person seems to be possible for Yuezhi, Xiongnu, Wusun, and Qiang people who border the Western Regions.
But what Hu Hai couldn't understand was that most of the small countries in the Western Regions were just a county in Daqin. How could he have such courage to take the initiative to attack the borders of Daqin? Isn't this the rhythm of finding a shi?
It can be expected that the Jiuyuan Army in Bijia City will inevitably suffer some losses, but this incident also gave Daqin an excuse. An excuse to march to the Western Regions legitimately to take over the Western Regions.
However, even without today's incident, the Qin Dynasty in the Western Regions would inevitably march into the Western Regions. Power is the axiom. Needless to say, it was used in later generations, but now the Qin Dynasty seems to be more common.
The only thing to consider is how strong this power needs to be. Is it like the Han Dynasty that continues to retain the original rule of the kings of the Western Regions, adopts the method of garrison to rule in nominal terms, or directly destroy the royal family and merge them into it directly
The Great Qin Dynasty set up the county and county institutions of the Great Qin Dynasty.
From the bottom of my heart, Hu Hai prefers the latter type. But killing people does not solve the problem. Hu Hai did not want to make the Western Regions people hostile to the Qin Dynasty because of killing these royal families, or leave a chaotic mess in the Western Regions for the Qin Dynasty.
After all, the countries in the Western Regions are too far away from the central part of the Qin Dynasty. Rebellion is not scary. What is scary is the army needed to quell the rebellion and the supplies needed by the army. The long supply line may not shake the foundation of the Qin Dynasty for a while, but in the long run,
The hatred will only grow deeper and eventually evolve into a time bomb buried in the northwest border of Daqin.
Rebellion, quelling rebellion, rebellion, and rebellion again. After this recurrence, why did the Qin Dynasty occupy the Western Regions?
Fortunately, this Bijia City incident gave Hu Hai an open excuse to march into the Western Regions to clear the bill in the future. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy for the novel, the novel is better and faster!)
