Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

Although there was an interlude involving Ying Wei and Lord Changping, overall, the attack on Chu was settled in this way.

The State of Qin will have Li Xin as its general and send an army of 400,000 to attack the State of Chu. It is bound to take down the State of Chu in one fell swoop, thereby completely unifying China and completing the great cause of Qin State for hundreds of years.

Li Xin, who was originally looking nervous, fearing that his final contribution would be taken away, finally felt relieved.

The general who wanted to compete with Li Xin, probably under Lord Changping, retreated angrily.

Ying Wei had no interest in this general who had no name in history. He even felt that the other general should thank him.

Otherwise, when faced with Lord Changping's betrayal and a general like you, who has neither the backing nor the ability, is defeated, it will not only be your own defeat, but the entire family will probably be killed by Lord Changping.

In the official history, although Li Xin was tricked by Lord Changping and his 200,000-strong army was attacked from two sides, the entire army was not annihilated in the end.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Xin in the official history was not sentenced to death and the family was completely preserved.

In addition to the main reason for this defeat being the betrayal of Lord Changping, it was also because Li Xin was indeed capable. Although he was defeated in this case, he still saved most of the Qin army's strength.

Based on this alone, Li Xin should be meritorious.

It's just that defeat is defeat. Qin's rewards and punishments are too clear. Ying Zheng has no choice but to remove Li Xin from his military post and give him a step down.

Next, the civil and military officials began to discuss how to attack Chu State and how various officials should cooperate.

The specific march route will only be discussed at the Jiu Qing meeting, and it is impossible to say it in front of so many officials.

However, the expedition of 400,000 troops is equivalent to the operation of a huge national machine. It cannot be completed in a few sentences, but requires the cooperation of officials at both upper and lower levels.

However, the Qin State is no better than other countries. Qin State's policy operation efficiency is very high, especially since officials at all levels have cooperated to win five countries over the years. Facing the final Chu State, they only need to proceed step by step.

These things have nothing to do with Ying Wei as a lieutenant. For Ying Weiwei, his job as a lieutenant is quite easy.

Ying Wei had several loyal subordinates headed by Li Si. He was like setting up a general staff in modern times. Ying Wei always held meetings to resolve these important military matters.

Specific matters are handled by these subordinates. All they have to do is report weekly, and then Ying Wei has another department to supervise.

Under the intersecting operation of the two, this allowed Ying Wei to complete most of the work with very little effort, which is somewhat similar to the cabinets of later generations.

It's just that this cabinet can only manage some military matters for the time being, and it does not have any real power.

But it doesn't matter. When he becomes the emperor in the future, he can continue to operate this team.

This can not only save yourself a lot of time, but also reduce energy expenditure.

In addition, the most difficult work after the unification has been completed by Ying Zheng, and he can be happy as the emperor from now on.

Of course, there is also a problem if you do this, that is, it is easy to lose power, and your power is likely to be taken away by people below by deceiving the emperor.

However, there is already a solution to this problem.

One is the Shadow Secret Guard. Although Ying Zheng established the Shadow Secret Guard, he did not take this organization too seriously.

In Ying Wei's view, the power of the Shadow Guards today is still a little smaller. Although they also have the responsibility to supervise the officials, the officials are not afraid of the Shadow Guards at all.

If Ying Wei waits until he becomes emperor, he will definitely increase this part of his powers.

Secondly, one of the biggest problems with promotion in today's bureaucracy is that there is no specific promotion channel for lower-level officials, which is also the root of the existence of retainers.

Ying Weike didn't want to play with the nine-level Zhongzheng system. What he needed was the imperial examination system.

Only by allowing all low-level officials to become disciples of the emperor can the power of the prime minister be greatly restricted.

Don't look at the fact that Ying Zheng holds great power now, and even he has dispersed the power of the prime minister, but in fact the power of the prime minister is still constraining him.

There is really no way to do this. After all, the emperor's energy is limited. It seems that the emperor has the power to appoint and remove official positions, but in fact, the list of officials who can be appointed and removed by the emperor is proposed by the prime minister.

No matter how you are appointed or removed, you cannot escape the position of Prime Minister.

The only way to solve this problem is to use the imperial examination, and then gradually eliminate the power of Xiangbang, until in the end the position of Xiangbang is not even established.

Asking for flowers

This is also the development of centralized power in Chinese history.

Emperors during the Qin and Han dynasties generally did not have that much power unless they were particularly capable. The true peak of the emperor's power was during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Throughout the history of China, we will find that the era when the country is truly peaceful and the people are safe, when the country is prosperous and the people are strong, is when the emperor has great power and the central government has complete control over the local governments.

As long as the power of the central government is divided, local power will expand, resulting in separatism. That will be the beginning of the war era.

Even in Ying Wei's view, the current Qin State is actually no longer a feudal society. The so-called feudal society means the establishment of a country with feudal land, which is a feudal system.

The current Qin State implements a system of prefectures and counties, which attributes power to the emperor alone. This should be called a centralized state.

Ying Zheng was distracted, thinking about how he would govern the country in the future and how he would design the system.

At this moment, Lord Changping suddenly said:"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Ying Zheng said,"What's the matter with Prime Minister?" (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lord Changping He said bluntly:"Your Majesty, if Qin wants to attack Chu, the capital of Ying is the top priority."

"This place is the border between our Qin State and Chu State. Before it was captured by Wu'an Lord, it was the capital of Chu State."

"The geographical location of Yingdu is extremely important. It will become the forefront of the Qin army and a distribution point for supplies. If you want to win the Chu Kingdom, you must ensure the stability of Yingdu."

"But after all, Yingdu has only been a city of Qin for twenty or thirty years, and the people living in it are all the old people of Chu."

"Those people will probably miss Chu State. If they gather to make trouble when Qin State attacks Chu State, it may be detrimental."

"I have requested that I go to the capital of Ying in person to appease the old people of the Chu State, so as to stabilize the rear area, and allow our Qin State to capture the Chu State in one fell swoop and achieve unparalleled success! Ying

Zheng hesitated and said:"If Prime Minister goes to Yingdu, how will he fulfill his duties as Prime Minister?" Changping

Jun said with great justice and awe:"If I can serve the Qin Dynasty for thousands of years, I am willing to resign from the position of prime minister.""

As soon as he said these words, the officials were in an uproar. Even Ying Wei couldn't help but glance at him. If he didn't know the true purpose of Lord Changping, Ying Wei would have thought that this man is the biggest role model of our Qin Kingdom!

He and Ying Wei were so moved that they almost cried.
