Legend of Troubled Times

Xianyang City, Xianyang Palace

The king of Qin has a will, the general Dugu Zhantian and the prime minister Beitang Linfeng, for my Great Qin to expand the territory, meritorious, a bounty of a thousand taels, at the same time, there are also rewards and knights for the relevant soldiers. Considering that Lord Liangzhu has already enjoyed the title of our Qin State, therefore, I will not repeat the title, especially the children inherit the title, but because I have no military merits in Daqin, I will not reinstate the title. Therefore, I hope that the sons and daughters of the Prime Minister will be rewarded together when they receive military merits in the future.

Thank you, Your Majesty, Long. Dugu Zhantian and Beitang Linfeng, both knelt down, led the order, and thanked

him

Well, the reward for meritorious deeds has ended. Now let's talk about how Daqin should further fulfill the great ambition of the former king in the future and aspire to go east. After the King of Qin discussed the reward for meritorious deeds, he began to ask the ministers, but there was surprisingly silence at the court meeting

Okay, this matter is related to whether our Qin State can fulfill the great ambition of the ancestor to dominate the world after a hundred years of operation? The most important thing for my Qin State, you can't make up your mind for a while, and I don't blame you for going to the court in three days, I hope you can come up with your own response plan. Retreat

Xianyang Palace, the imperial study

Alas, this time Lone dispatched such a big battle, but he didn't expect the six countries of Shandong to be more instigated than one by one, and he didn't let Lone find a reason. Alas, the mighty army of 700,000 has returned to vain in the end, so where should I, Great Qin, go? King Qin is the king of tigers and wolves that everyone fears like a tiger today. It can be said that he is the most powerful existence today, but now, he feels a little lost in his heart. Could it really be that the Mandate of Heaven is not there? Is it difficult for me to disobey the Mandate of Heaven? King Qin's face showed three points of helplessness and seven points of unwillingness

His Majesty, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the prince of Beitang, asked to see him. Just as King Qin was thinking, the eunuch outside the door suddenly spoke

King Qin was also slightly surprised, he never thought that this good nephew of his would come to him at this time, he thought about it for a while, let him come in.

Beitang Phantom Bing walked into the imperial study, saluted respectfully and said See my king, long live my king, long live long

live

Okay, we don't need to be like this between our uncles and nephews, Phantom Bing, why did you think of coming to your uncle when you didn't go to them for a drink today?

Hearing King Qin's words, Beitang Phantom Ice also turned slightly red. After all, they were so happy to talk that day, they couldn't help it. And although he was punished, he actually didn't regret it, after all, it was a happy thing in life to be able to have a happy chat with his close friend, but since this incident, King Qin, who is also his uncle, is teasing him with this matter at every turn, and he is also a little helpless. knew that King Qin didn't mean to pursue it, but in the end, he was just a child who had just turned ten years old now. In the face of King Qin's words, he actually had some looks like the elders had repeatedly used this incident to warn him after he was caught by the elders for doing bad things.

Ahem, Your Majesty was just an accident at the time

Looking at Beitang Phantom Bing's appearance and not knowing how to explain it, King Qin also showed a little smile, of course he didn't really blame them for drinking, after all, someone couldn't help but get drunk all night when he was eight years old. But there should be warnings

Okay, you're here to find me, what's the matter?

Your Majesty, regarding Daqin, the ambition of going east in the future, my nephew has some opinions of his own, I don't know if I can ask my uncle to mention my nephew.

Hearing this, King Qin also suddenly came to his senses. He is also very satisfied with this nephew who has always spoken amazingly, and at the same time, at today's court meeting, he took advantage of the military exploits of Prime Minister Beitang Linfeng to give this kid who has just reached the age of ten a false title, which is actually intentionally promoted. In fact, he didn't really choose between the eldest and the second, who should inherit the monarch? But he really hoped that Beitang Phantom Bing could succeed his father as the next prime minister of Qin. Although the prime ministers of the Qin State were all famous and famous all over the world, the results were unsatisfactory and often did not end well. The main reason for this is, in the final analysis, a sentence, if it is not my race, its heart will be different. They are not natives of Lao Qin after all. On the study of talent, Beitang Linfeng is by no means the most talented or the most outstanding among the successive prime ministers of Great Qin, but he is definitely the most trusted one of the hundred civil and military officials of Great Qin, and the main reason is that he and the current monarch, that is, he himself is a sworn brother, and there are important reasons.

Today, countries are fighting each other. Looking back at the history of the years in which the nations have competed for power, it is not difficult to see that comprehensive national strength is always the decisive factor. Famous generals and ministers, these seemingly important factors, in fact, are all supported by strong national strength behind them. If a country is weak and its national strength is not strong, it is true that famous generals are invincible, and powerful ministers are able to suppress the court and try to reform, but without a strong national strength to support it, it cannot be strong or even hegemonic

Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, and then what? What does this have to do with my Great Qin Dongchu?

So from this point of view, if you want Great Qin to go east, dominate the world. If there is no strong national strength to support, then even through famous generals and ministers, one or two decisive victories have been achieved, but after all, it will not be able to change the general trend of the times

Virtuous nephew, what you said is very reasonable, but how can we improve our comprehensive national strength, and how can we make my great Qindong come out of the water?

First of all, the obvious advantage of my Great Qin now is the land of Bashu, the rich country of abundance, and at the same time, there are good horses from the Western Regions, plus my Great Qin Rui Warriors are brave and brave in the world, and the combination of the three has formed an invincible Great Qin Iron Horse for my Great Qin, which is also the sharpest spear of our Great Qin in the east. However, although the land of Bashu is fertile, once the war starts, the military food will not be available after all, so my Great Qin Iron Cavalry often fights for no more than a year, and I must return to the court, otherwise my Great Qin treasury will be empty and the national strength will decline

Well, you have also thought of this idea, and Gu has begun to recruit people who are proficient in water conservancy from the six countries to build a new water conservancy project for my Daqin in the land of Bashu, once this project is completed, my Daqin will no longer have to worry about military rations

At the same time, the iron tools of my Great Qin must be abundantly stored, and at this point, the trade of the Qi State is the most prosperous, and the Qi State and the Qin State have been friends for generations, and we can exchange grain for their copper and iron, so as to provide sufficient rear for our Great Qin Ruishi

Well, and then what?

Then it is to train the army to expand the army, and when there is a sufficient stock of food and copper and iron in the rear, the army can be expanded. The population of my Great Qin, the official and the princes, refers to the Shang Jun since the change of the law, my Great Qin men are proud to be soldiers, and then with the increase of the population, the way of levy has also changed from active participation to competition and competition, and there are many men in Daqin today, although their physical fitness is even better than that of the armies of the other six countries, but they cannot be soldiers and obtain military merits. Finally, Your Majesty, I think we should also collect a wide range of people from the charlatans. Over the years, the shadow guards have contributed a lot, and I think the number of special forces like this is small, but the individual strength is strong, and I think it can be increased

I see, what the virtuous nephew said makes a lot of sense. But you came to my imperial study today to give advice, do you have any ideas?

Your Majesty, the minister also wants to leave his own mark in this troubled world, so I hope Your Majesty will give the minister a chance

Of course, how can these insights of yours be buried? Then you want to enter the office, although I am under the age of 16 and are forbidden to enter the office, I don't mind setting this precedent for you

Your Majesty, the Qin State governs the country according to the law, and it is not illegal because of one person, and the minister feels that he still needs to be experienced, and at the same time, in the troubled times, there must be force to protect himself, and the minister hopes that His Majesty can allow the minister to go to the rivers and lakes to learn a skill, and then come back to serve the country, and at the same time, I also hope that Your Majesty will talk to my father, after all, my father is not very easy to explain

Hahaha, it turns out that your kid is waiting for me here, why do you want to explore the rivers and lakes too?

Your Majesty, I am just a boy who has just turned ten years old, freshly dressed and angry, riding a horse and whipping. Holding a long sword, he is chivalrous and righteous. This is the dream of every young person

Yes, yes, but you've heard of the sinister world

Your Majesty, the minister has also been practicing some martial arts over the years, and he already has the strength of the three grades, so it should be okay

King Qin's eyes also showed a little surprise, knowing that your literary and martial arts talents were very high, but he didn't expect your martial arts talents to be so high. At your current age, reaching the third grade is indeed shocking, but if you want to break into the rivers and lakes, your strength is far from enough. In this way, I will ask someone to go out of the city in plainclothes and send you to the Jixia School Palace of Qi State, where there is a Confucian saint, one of the four great masters today, and a Confucianism who is also one of the four major sects today, plus Qi has been repairing with us for generations, and I want to come there to practice dance for the most suitable for you. At the same time, it is also a gathering place for scholars from all over the world, which is conducive to broadening your knowledge and improving your literature. After a few years, when you return from school, you can go to the rivers and lakes for a few years. When the time comes, come back to my Qin country.

Your Majesty.

Alas, Phantom Ice, you grew up alone, what do you think in your heart, how can I not know?

Beitang Phantom Bing's eyes obviously changed, but he quickly recovered, and then said calmly, I owe debts to repay money, kill people to pay for my mother's revenge, why should I forget? I just want revenge

Good, good, good. If there is revenge, there will be revenge, this is my good man in Daqin. However, after all, the Mo family is one of the four major sects of the rivers and lakes, and there is also a great master, remember not to be reckless, understand?

Don't worry, uncle, I know it

Okay, you prepare first, and in a few days I will send you to the Jixia School Palace in the Qi Kingdom.

Thank you, Your Majesty

After Beitang Phantom Ice went out, King Qin was thoughtful in the imperial study. I had such insight at a young age, and when I grew up, I was able to pay it back. When the time comes, talk to this guy Linfeng, because his wife's affairs back then were too fond of this child, but it somewhat suppressed the display of his talents. If the jade is not cut, it will not be made. From this point of view, in the next few years, I, Daqin, will raise troops immediately, and then slowly figure it out. In my lifetime, I may not see the prosperity of Great Qin's domination of the world. Isn't the result of this trip to the east actually expected? In the final analysis, it is just unwillingness. However, as soon as Phantom Ice left like this, Mengli's girl was probably unhappy. Alas, it is up to man to succeed, and heaven to plan it. When people are powered, they are exhausted

The next day, the King of Qin issued an edict, and the King of Qin set up the Tiger Guard, the Great Qin Guard and the Shadow Secret Guard, which were listed as the three major special forces of the Great Qin, and sincerely invited the knights of the world to join the Great Qin. At the same time, the son of the famous prime minister, Beitang Phantom Bing, also suddenly left Xianyang City, and his whereabouts are unknown.

At the same time, the turmoil of this troubled world has gradually transformed from open and secret fighting to undercurrent surging
