Chapter 276: Ying Zheng Is Overjoyed! Urge Zhao Feng!
Xianyang!
The court hall!
The ministers are making their reports.
Although the Qin Dynasty is destroying Chu, the Qin Dynasty has destroyed the Three Jins and Yan.
The territory has expanded greatly, and most of China has been returned to the Qin Dynasty, and the population has reached 70 to 80 million. (Not based on historical population, the Chinese population in China has exceeded 100 million)
With such a large population, it is conceivable how many political affairs come from all over the Qin territory, and how busy he will be as the King of Qin.
Many major events need to be decided by Ying Zheng.
The court meeting can only solve major issues that cannot be explained clearly in the memorials, and Ying Zheng needs to solve them in the court, while those that can be clearly written in the memorials are handled by Ying Zheng in the Zhangtai Palace.
As a king.
Ying Zheng is worthy of it.
Since he succeeded to the throne and took power, he has been diligent in everything and has personally written memorials.
It can be said that.
He is also very tired.
But he has to do it.
He wants to become the first king in the history of the world to unify the world, and become the first person in the history of the world.
"I'm reporting this to the king."
"A few days ago, Wu'an Jun sent someone to report that he had received hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers who surrendered in Chu."
"Now that our Qin army is strong, there is no need for a prisoner army."
"So I'm reporting this to the king." Han Fei stood up and said.
"What does the Prime Minister of Han think of these surrendered soldiers?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Your Majesty, please report this."
"The surrendered soldiers are young and strong laborers and must be used."
"And we can also implement the grace and appeasement law mentioned by Wu'an Jun. The surrendered soldiers who work for the Great Qin for five years and perform well can be pardoned from slavery and return home."
"Now the territory of the Great Qin is vast, but the roads are very simple. The Great Qin's mobilization and march are all blocked by the roads."
"Moreover, the specifications of the roads of the Great Qin and the roads of the countries that destroyed the Great Qin are different. I think that the roads of the Great Qin should be taken as the basis, and the roads of the original foreign countries should be built in the same way as the Great Qin. In addition, the roads in Shu can continue to be built."
"Let the Great Qin's roads be connected in all directions, whether it is transporting troops, transporting food, or providing relief, it will be of great benefit." Han Fei said loudly.
Listening to what Han Fei said, Ying Zheng's eyes also flashed with a strange light, and then he nodded in agreement.
"What Han Xiang said makes sense."
"In that case."
"I will naturally grant it."
"The deployment of the surrendered soldiers in Chu is the responsibility of Han Xiang."
"Han Xiang can allocate soldiers from each county to transport the surrendered soldiers." Ying Zheng immediately agreed.
"I accept the order." Han Fei happily accepted the order.
At this moment!
There was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the hall.
The ministers in the hall followed the sound and looked at the urgent report soldier who rushed into the hall.
In the Qin Dynasty.
The only one who was qualified to enter the hall without an order was the urgent report soldier.
"Report to the king."
"Wu'an Jun Chu won a great victory."
"Wu'an Camp Central Army Sima urgently reported."
The urgent report soldier bowed and took off the urgent report bamboo tube on his back.
"Is the capital of Chu broken?"
Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly and a smile appeared on his face.
As soon as the voice fell.
All eyes in the court gathered.
If this is really the case.
Then Zhao Feng has completed the achievement of destroying the country.
"Will they really break through the capital of Chu?"
"If so, the speed of the march is too fast."
"It has only been five months since the troops were mobilized from Wu'an Camp?"
"I originally thought that it would take at least half a year, but Wu'an Jun actually advanced it by another month?"
"This power of commanding troops is really invincible."
Many court officials thought in surprise.
At this moment, it is already a great victory.
If it is not for the capture of the capital of Chu, it is really hard to think of anything else.
"Present it and read it directly." Ying Zheng laughed and waved his hand.
Every time he heard the battle report sent back by his son, Ying Zheng couldn't stop smiling.
Because since the first time Zhao Feng's name appeared in his ears, until now, almost as long as he heard it, it was good news, not bad news.
Hearing Ying Zheng's words.
Zhao Gao immediately walked down quickly and took the victory report with both hands.
Then, under the gaze of the civil and military officials in the court, he opened the bamboo tube.
Took out the victory report sealed in it.
Afterwards.
Zhao Gao stepped forward, opened the victory report, and said loudly: "The military commander of Wu'an Camp, Kuai Pu, reported."
"Since the battle of Qucheng."
"Under the command of Wu'an Jun, our Wu'an Camp marched all the way and finally attacked the capital of Chu after 15 days."
"After Wu'an Jun led the army to attack for a day."
"The capital of Chu was captured by our army, tens of thousands of enemies were killed and tens of thousands were captured."
"The capital of Chu has been captured."
"Wu'an Jun led the army to attack the palace of the King of Chu and surrounded the court hall of the King of Chu Palace."
"Although the King of Chu is young, he has the heart to coexist with the country."
"After surrounding the palace of the King of Chu, Wu'an Jun personally persuaded the King of Chu to surrender, but the King of Chu refused and drew his sword."
"To save the King of Chu, Coexist with the country and protect the king's prestige. "
"Wu'an Jun fought with the King of Chu, killed him with a sword, and gave him a grand funeral, fulfilling the King of Chu's heart to coexist with the country. "
"Now. "
"The King of Chu is dead. "
"The Wu'an camp continues to march and capture the cities of Chu. Soon, Chu will be completely destroyed and its territory will all belong to Qin. "
"The three families of Chu, Qu, Jing, and Zhao. "
"After the city was broken, they intended to surrender. "
"However, before that, my Wu'an camp vowed to attack to the death, and the three families encountered many obstacles. Wu'an Jun issued an order to exterminate the three families and confiscate their property and put it into the national treasury. "
"The three families of Chu have all been wiped out. "Zhao Gao read out loud.
And heard the result.
Chudu was conquered.
Although the ministers in the court were surprised, they did not show too much shock. After all, Zhao Feng's ability to command troops and the benefits of the Wu'an camp's march were obvious to all.
However, after hearing that Zhao had killed Queen Chu, the expressions of many ministers in the court changed slightly.
Kill the king.
Even if he is the king of a foreign country, this is no small matter.
Even the king of an enemy country can only be judged by the King of Qin in the end.
but.
Zhao Feng thought that courtiers might come to impeach him this time.
But now, after learning from Wang Wan's mistakes, the court was completely silent about this matter, and no one dared to impeach him.
Even Chun Yuyue, the most fierce and powerful man in the past.
He didn't even dare to speak.
Obviously.
Zhao Feng used his methods to let everyone in the court know that he was a man who would take revenge. If you dare to offend him or deal with him, you must know the consequences of being targeted by him.
At this time!
After hearing this good news.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said loudly: "Mr. Wu An, you are worthy of being an important minister of our great Qin."
"To conquer the capital of Chu in such a short time, I am truly the God of War of Great Qin."
"As for the King of Chu."
"Although he is young, even just the same age as Lord Wu'an, but compared to the kings of the countries that our Great Qin destroyed."
"King Chu is very good."
"Coexisting with the country is the duty of a king."
"It would be a shame if the country dies but the king lives on."
"Since the King of Chu begged for death, Lord Wu An granted his wish, which indeed saved the King's face."
As Ying Zheng finished speaking.
All civil and military officials in the court shouted: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming."
And those courtiers who were interested in impeaching Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
"Fortunately, I didn't open my mouth to impeach, otherwise I would have asked for trouble again, and also offended Zhao Feng."
"Zhao Feng is a man who is determined to retaliate. We really can't offend him unless it is absolutely necessary."
"What happened to Wang Wan's entire family is a lesson to others."
"Fortunately I didn't speak..."
Many people were thinking secretly, and even broke out in cold sweat.
"There are three families in Chu State, three powerful families."
"They don't care about the survival of Chu State at all. It would be a good thing if it dies now."
"In the future, our Great Qin will have one less trouble." Ying Zheng thought in his heart.
Reality.
There is no need for Zhao Feng to do it.
If Zhao Feng really accepts the surrender, then Ying Zheng will not allow the emergence of three families that control the military and political affairs of Chu State. It will have a great impact on the country.
Even in Great Qin, such a family must not appear.
"Chu has been destroyed."
"The Kingdom of Chu is considered dead." Feng Quji said with a smile.
"No."
Wei Liao shook his head: "Although the capital of Chu has been destroyed and the king of Chu is dead, there is still a force in Chu that needs to be eliminated."
"Is this Xiang Yan that Wei Qing is talking about?" Ying Zheng said slowly.
"Xiang Yan is a capable general of Chu State, and he is also a general who wants to strengthen Chu. Although the capital of Chu State is destroyed and the King of Chu is dead, for Xiang Yan, he will never admit defeat willingly, let alone Surrender, he still has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command."
"And Mi Qi is still in his hands."
"As Ruo Chen expected, Xiang Yan will definitely elect Mi Qi as king and establish Mi Qi as a puppet. Xiang Yan will gather his troops to compete with our great Qin." Wei Liao said loudly.
"The unification of the Qin Dynasty has been determined."
"He can't be tolerated."
"The Kingdom of Chu is dead, what can a mere Xiang Yan do?"
"Pass the imperial edict."
"Wu'an and Hangu, the two battalions are encircling Xiang Yan with all their strength," Ying Zheng said domineeringly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the whole court shouted.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"After the fall of the Chu State, its territory was vast and its population was nearly 20 million."
"Now most of the Chu Kingdom has been conquered and is under military control."
"We still need able ministers to govern." Han Fei started at the right time.
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"According to what Prime Minister Han wants, who can go to Chu to take up the post of governance?" Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"The land of Chu is vast and has a large population."
"I think it can be divided into two places for the time being. At least two civil servants should be in charge of the government."
"I recommend Xiao He, the mill commander under my command, to be a great talent. I recommend him to be one of the chief officials in charge of the land of Chu." Han Fei immediately recommended one of his own.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"When the Han Dynasty was destroyed in the past, the minister Yao Jia was outstanding in ability, and I recommended Yao Jia to be another chief official." Li Si also immediately stepped forward to recommend him.
See this.
Wei Zhuang couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"Shangqing Mengyi is a man of great talent and capable of taking on this great responsibility." Wei Zhuang said immediately.
There is naturally a reason why Han Fei said that there should be two chief officials to govern Chu.
One is that the Chu land was indeed larger and more populous than the countries destroyed by the Qin Dynasty.
If one person governs, it will be too difficult and the authority will be too great, which is not a good thing for royal power.
"Xiao He."
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and immediately shouted.
echoed.
Xiao He immediately stood up from the middle of the row of civil servants. With a feeling of anxiety, he bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "I am here."
This was the first time Xiao He stood in the hall and faced King Qin directly for the first time.
Although he is now a Beijing official with considerable authority and is in charge of all matters related to grain and taxation, Xiao He was naturally a little uneasy when he was being noticed by the court and was directly shouted out by the King of Qin.
"Good direction."
"Since Han Xiang took office as the left prime minister, you have been in charge of the internal history of grain."
"I have read your memorials, very good, everything is in order."
"You are indeed a great talent." Ying Zheng praised with a smile.
"As a minister of the Great Qin, I should serve the Great Qin." Xiao He immediately replied.
"I believe in your ability, since Han Xiang recommended you."
"Put aside the government affairs on hand for the time being, go to Chu to govern one side, as long as you govern Chu well, when you return, I will promote you to the position of Nine Ministers." Ying Zheng said to Xiao He.
In addition to spurring, this is also a promise.
As long as Xiao He returns after successful governance, he will be re-enfeoffed.
Hearing this!
Xiao He's face also showed excitement, and he bowed immediately: "I will not disgrace the king's order."
"As for the other person."
Ying Zheng looked at Wei Zhuang and Li Si who recommended him.
"Meng Yi."
After thinking about it.
Ying Zheng still chose Meng Yi.
After all, Meng Yi is indeed capable, and his family background is trustworthy.
Li Si's eyes dimmed.
"I am here."
Meng Yi immediately stood up and bowed.
"You and Xiao Qing will go to Chu to govern together, and each will be the chief official of a county." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"I will never fail the king's order and high expectations." Meng Yi bowed immediately.
"Your Majesty."
"The chief official has been decided, and we still need assistant officials."
"Chu is vast. Even if the army breaks into the city and surrenders many officials from the Chu government, they still need to be selected and used."
"These candidates still need to be selected by the king." Han Fei said.
"Prime Minister Han, the selection of assistant officials is entirely up to you. After the officials are selected, you can compile a list and hand it over to me. I believe you." Ying Zheng smiled.
Han Fei immediately bowed: "Thank you for your trust, the king. I will never let you down."
"Okay."
"Today's court meeting ends here."
"Wei Qing."
"Pass on my imperial edict."
"Order Zhao Feng to quickly pacify the State of Chu. After returning to the capital, I will appoint him as the Wei of the Great Qin State and command the military power of our Great Qin." Ying Zheng laughed.
"I accept the edict." Wei Liao also responded with a smile.
——
Chu Capital!
Under Zhao Feng's consciousness, the small world has already been initially populated.
A row of wooden houses has stood in the center of the small world, stretching for thousands of houses, and has become a large village.
People who enter the small world also work hard.
Reclamation, farming, logging, and building houses.
Everything is in order.
Everything is developed under the arrangement of Yan Ting's secret scholars.
It is also developed according to Zhao Feng's ideas.
"After this intermediate spiritual vein enters this world, the spiritual energy should surge again."
"As for this spiritual spring, I don't know the effect, let's try it later."
Thinking of this.
Zhao Feng immediately took out the reward from the treasure chest.
Directly put it into the small world.
The next moment.
Just like the high-level spiritual vein entered at the beginning.
A dragon shadow rushed into the small world.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to surge.
However, ordinary people in the small world cannot feel the surge of spiritual energy.
Only those Yan Ting secret soldiers can feel it.
"Next."
"It's the spiritual spring, and the spiritual stone vein."
Zhao Feng thought to himself, and turned his consciousness again.
