Chapter 614: Taoism Can Also Have a Leader
In an instant, except for the breathing of Black Ice Guard, there was only silence in the entire palace.
After a while, Qin Shihuang asked again,
"What did you say?"
It’s not that he didn’t hear it clearly, it’s that he couldn’t believe it!
Black Ice Guard immediately said again,
"Great victory at Gaixia! Conquer the Chu land!"
Zhao Gao also took the military report from Black Ice Guard at this time, and then asked the opponent to retreat.
His Majesty's gaffe is still not good for others to see.
It is detrimental to dignity.
Soon, Qin Shihuang got the general report in his hand. After opening it, his expression changed one after another while reading.
However, Zhao Gao on the side looked a little confused.
Because of the other party's expression, it was difficult to say that he was happy, but he was not unhappy either.
Extremely complex.
He wasn't sure of the other person's mood, so he couldn't speak out.
Originally, I was waiting for Qin Shihuang to report the army to him later, and then try to figure it out before talking.
But this time, after Qin Shihuang finished reading it, he directly put the military report away and said,
"Let the world know that the prince pacified the Chu region and contributed to the destruction of the country!"
"Everyone is celebrating!"
"Contact Lang'er, and when he comes back, be sure to give him a grand triumphal ceremony."
This is also a good way to boost public sentiment.
Zhao Gao quickly responded and then retreated consciously.
Although he didn't know what happened, he could sense that Qin Shihuang needed to be alone at this time.
After Zhao Gao left, Qin Shihuang opened the military report again.
After looking at it carefully, he frowned slightly, nodded sometimes, and shook his head sometimes.
Finally, he sat down with a wry smile and said to himself,
"Lang'er, put the common people on an equal footing with the nobles and ministers, you are trying to break the sky!"
Before the Qin Dynasty, the world actually belonged to the royal family and the nobility.
In other words, it belongs to the nobility, because to a certain extent, the royal family is just the most powerful nobility.
But no matter what, there is nothing wrong with the common people here.
Now that Zhao Lang values the people so much, the nobles of Qin might be dissatisfied if they find out.
Even if the rebellion in Chu was put down this time, the people who sacrificed the most were actually the recruited peasant team.
They are also the ones who deserve the most credit.
Qin Shihuang could even predict that soon, the story of the Battle of Gaixia would spread throughout the world.
However, no one will remember the civilian soldiers who shed blood and sacrifice on the battlefield!
Whether it is the common people or the nobles, they will only say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Shangqing Meng Yi are strategizing and winning thousands of miles!
They even put Zhao Lang into mythology!
However, no one cares about the inconspicuous farmers in the military formation!
No one cares about the civilians in the rear.
Everyone will only see the most dazzling person.
Which noble is willing to be on an equal footing with the common people?
Unless we find a way to improve the status of the people.
Zhao Lang wanted to use this method to warn the world and pay attention to the people, but it was difficult.
Qin Shihuang sighed slightly. He could see the role of farmers, doctors, craftsmen, etc. in this war.
But the world can’t see it and won’t care.
As for other matters in the military report, he didn't care anymore.
To expel Xiang Yu, the old strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves was used, but with some modifications.
Of course, this can save a lot of people and material resources.
The Chu land is about to return to peace. The south is completely quiet this time, and there is an additional trade route. Da Qin can breathe a sigh of relief.
You can also free up your hands to guard against the Huns.
This group of beasts wanted to go south, but they made the wrong decision.
Qin Shihuang was furious in his heart,
"After two more years of rest, the Xiongnu will be completely exterminated!"
These days when the fighting in the south is at its worst, the Huns also frequently attack the Great Wall.
The various items of food, salary and supplies never stopped, which took a lot of effort from him.
Fortunately, with Meng Tian around, both sides suffered losses from each other. With most areas of the Great Wall already closed, they only suffered a small loss.
It has to be said that the Xiongnu now claims to have 300,000 troops, which is still stressful for Da Qin.
On the grassland, without the Great Wall, a Hun on horseback could deal with two Qin infantry without any injuries.
This is incomprehensible.
What's even more embarrassing is that this loss was caused by himself.
He made a lot of black powder according to the formula given by Zhao Lang.
During the Battle of Pengcheng, I saw the power of gunpowder.
How could he bear it?
I just asked people to transport some to the front line, but as a result, a truck exploded halfway.
Most of the people in a convoy died.
No one who survived found the cause of the explosion.
The rest was shipped to the front lines, and no one else dared to use it.
Even if there is black powder, the opponent will not just stand there waiting for you to explode.
The only way is to form a cavalry and go head-to-head with the opponent after cultivating yourself!
Qin Shihuang frowned slightly as he thought about it. At this moment, bursts of faint cheers came from outside the palace.
"The Qin Dynasty will last ten thousand years! Your Majesty will last ten thousand years! Your Royal Highness will last ten thousand years!"
Qin Shihuang knew that the people of Xianyang were cheering for the pacification of Chu, so he smiled.
In any case, Zhao Lang's reputation has now been completely established.
And it is the most stable military reputation!
No one will have any objection to Zhao Lang's position.
Now, when Zhao Lang comes back, he can finally have a good rest.
Soon, Qin Shihuang looked south.
The messenger who was ordered to report the victory to the people also came out of Xianyang and spread the news to the world.
This represents the reunification of the Qin Dynasty and the stability of the world.
It can stabilize people's hearts.
soon,
The news of Gaixia's great victory and the pacification of Chu region spread.
At this time, inside Heming Academy.
Some students also heard the news, and everyone was extremely excited.
They all now know that the prince of Da Qin is the founder of this school.
Everyone was discussing this matter, and the teachers did not stop it.
After all, Zhao Lang is also their leader.
Only in an inconspicuous small courtyard, the atmosphere was calm, even a little depressed.
Several little old men in Taoist costumes were sitting together with sad faces.
"Hey, Lao Huang, think of a new story quickly. We Taoists want to spread it, and we can't just rely on this story."
A little old man with a gray beard said to Huangshi Taoist.
The old Taoist Huangshi stared and replied,
"If you call me Lao Huang again, we will never end it!"
"Besides, this story is not that interesting. Let's not rush this matter."
"You have also heard about the crown prince's great victory."
"I think he will be back soon. Do you still remember the message he sent to us before?"
The others nodded, and one of them said,
"It is natural for these soldiers who died in battle to become our Taoist heavenly soldiers and generals."
Others also nodded, they had no objection to this matter.
It is natural for Chinese soldiers to become Chinese gods.
At this time, the old Taoist Huangshi said with a slightly moved expression,
"We have heavenly soldiers and generals, but what are you going to do with the Lord of heaven?"
Hearing this, other people's expressions were also a little subtle,
The old Taoist Huangshi then continued,
"Although our Taoist family has never had a leader, now we can have one. What do you think?"
The others looked at each other for a moment, and then said in unison,
"Good!" (To be continued)
