Chapter 371 Who and the Hero
Why don't men take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states in Guanshan?
Li Yuan's words were sonorous, and through his narration, he brought the generals of the Qin army who had only seen the country to a world that existed in imagination, but coexisted with reality in this era, and existed in the legendary Western civilization.
The ancient country, the new continent that is far away and unknown, these mysterious events make the men who used to shout and yell start to get excited.
"Generals of the Qin Dynasty, I hope that one day you can proudly declare that we are the most brave and capable soldiers of the Qin State. We have set foot on lands that our ancestors have never conquered. Every place where the generals of the Qin Dynasty set foot, we will be
Put on the Qin flag with black trim."
"I hope that one day, every place where the scorching sun shines, the battle flag of Qin will fly and never fall; I hope that one day, each of you can become a prince of one party, and be free in your fiefdom.
Breathe freely and do what you want to do most."
"I hope that one day, when we are all old and aged, we can proudly say that we are the athletes of the Qin Dynasty, the invincible warriors, we are always victorious and invincible, and we are invincible -!"
With four consecutive hopes, every sentence and every word of Li Yuan came from the bottom of his heart. When he once again looked at the generals, what he saw were the passionate and proud faces.
"Jiujiu Lao Qin, restore our rivers and mountains; until the blood is shed, there will be a truce until the death -!"
"There is the Great Qin in the west, which is rising like the sun; the country has been hated for a hundred years, and the sea is difficult to calm down——!"
"The world is in turmoil, so how can we find peace and tranquility? Qin has warriors, who can compete with him for supremacy?"
The desolate song was sung by someone else at some unknown time, and spread throughout the entire hall. Li Yuan's eyes were wet, and a strange and sour emotion filled his heart.
The rise of the Qin State was purchased with the lives of countless soldiers. The strength of the Qin State requires many soldiers to defend it with their blood. Li Yuan has used examples of the rise and decline of civilization to illustrate that in the journey of the country's prosperity
Above, the soldiers of Great Qin can only move forward, not retreat.
"Generals, the journey ahead has just begun. In front of you is the vast land, the sea of stars, and battles of blood and fire. Are you ready?" When the singing subsided, Li Yuan looked around the crowd and shouted loudly.
.
"King Wu, the Hexi Army is at your disposal to march to the Western Regions—!" Li Zhongxiang blushed and stood up suddenly, his voice trembling with excitement.
"King Wu. As long as our Yanbei army is trained a little, we will definitely be able to march straight into the royal court of the Xiongnu and expand our northern territory of Qin——!"
"King Wu, the frontier cavalry is always ready. No matter which direction the Huns come from, our great Qin cavalry will go all out to surround and annihilate all incoming enemies."
With the first leader in place, the generals of the Qin army immediately woke up and stepped forward to ask for orders.
After Li Yuan determined the overall goals and policies, the military meeting of the Qin army turned into a mobilization meeting for the generals to expand their ambitions. However, Li Yuan then calmly poured cold water on the enthusiastic generals.
Food must be eaten one bite at a time. The Qin State has just stabilized its domestic situation. It can be said that it is a time when everything is waiting to be done. The expansion of territory must be carried out within a reasonable range.
From a geographical point of view, distant and non-contiguous places can definitely only be used as long-term targets. Perhaps Bai Guangji's scouts will have the opportunity to travel to those foreign lands first, while others need to pay more attention to the enemies in front of them.
Li Yuan did not know that it was his speech that gave a vivid historical and geographical lesson to the descendants of Yan and Huang who had always regarded themselves as the central government.
In fact, if it weren't for Li Yuan's status as King Wu today and the fact that he single-handedly created the New Qin Dynasty, and if it weren't for the fact that all the generals he was talking about were generals who had followed him for many years, what Li Yuan said would immediately be dismissed by all schools of thought.
Attack them in groups.
China is the central country.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many heroes, and the Qin State was treated as a barbarian on the western frontier. The people of the Central Plains were accustomed to regard their place as the center of the world. They did not expect that the land under their feet was nothing more than the center of the world.
It is just an ordinary fulcrum on this planet.
——.
After the Yuyang Military Conference, the relationship between Han Xin and Wang Li gradually became harmonious. This was because they had a common goal, and in order to embark on an unknown journey as soon as possible, they must first defeat their biggest enemy, the Huns.
Li Yuan stayed in Yanbei for a short time. After a short rest, his car drove along the border of Yan and Dai, from Handan County, Hedong County, and Sanchuan County to Guanzhong.
In Handan County.
Li Yuan met separately with the county governor Zhao Xie and the county prime minister Ji Xin. Li Yuan also spoke highly of the outstanding performance of these two local officials in the battle to defend Handan City.
Zhao Xie has now fully adapted to the status of an official of the Qin State. He, who was originally not very ambitious, is now the only one among the princes and kings who has a good beginning and a good end. After comparison, Zhao Xie became more and more successful in the position of county guard.
If he works hard, he doesn't want to waste time every day and eventually be abandoned by the world.
As for Ji Xin, he was even more favored by Li Yuan. The performance of this surrendered general of the Chu army impressed people, and more importantly, he could still insist on being a Qin general when faced with the temptation of his former colleagues to surrender.
The general's bottom line will not waver, and such a general is exactly what the Qin army needs at the moment.
Therefore, when Ji Xin left Handan, Li Yuan took her with him. As a result, when Ji Xin left Handan, she was stared at with envious eyes. Everyone knew that Ji Xin was going to be pushed away.
Bringing him into the confidant camp is a big step from being a non-confidant to being a confidant.
December, winter.
When Li Yuanjun passed Pu Ban, he could see teams of salt workers carrying lumps of salt along the way. The well salt production in Hedong Salt Pond has now resumed with the heavy investment of the Sima family, and a large number of salt workers have resumed production.
Recruited from Chudi, Yanchi's output increased from zero to two hundred tons in just one year, and it is expected that this output will continue to increase next year.
Compared with well salt, sea salt is purer and more advantageous in terms of quality and cost. With the moisture of salt, Qin people's bodies can be stronger and more resistant to diseases.
Kaban Ferry.
A wooden structure cross-river bridge is under intense construction. The construction of this bridge is mainly to solve the traffic problems between Guannai and Hedong County. Once completed, land traffic between the two places will no longer need to be diverted through Hangu Pass.
Just cross over the bridge.
The general responsible for supervising the construction of the bridge, Shaofu Li Shang, heard that Li Yuan was passing by, and immediately stepped forward to introduce the repair situation of Chi Road. As the occupation of the Qin State extended, the Chi Road leading from Chang'an to Thirty-six County
It is also being gradually restored, and Li Shang, the general responsible for transportation, has been very busy during this time.
After taking off his soldier's coat and putting on the robe of an official, Li Shang no longer had the idea of being indifferent to worldly affairs and just wanted to live in seclusion in the world.
Devoting himself to the great cause of Qin's rejuvenation allowed him to find a long-lost sense of accomplishment on another stage. This feeling of physical exhaustion but joyful heart is very satisfying for a man with ambition.
of preciousness.
When Li Shang was reporting, Li Yuan did not sit upright in a spacious and comfortable car like those aloof emperors, and then closed his eyes as if not listening. Instead, he jumped off the horse and followed Li Shang and a group of craftsmen.
When he arrived at the construction site, Li Yuan could ask questions about a series of professional issues such as site selection, wind direction, timber, and pile foundations.
"King Wu was able to accomplish this not by God's will but by human power." As Li Yuan's car gradually drove away, Li Shang, who was sweating profusely, couldn't help but sigh.
Comparing Li Yuan and his former master Liu Bang, the two have something in common, such as being approachable and having no airs, but in their bones, Li Yuan and Liu Bang are different. Li Yuan's closeness stems from his idea of equality, while Liu Bang is
The purpose of this appearance is to attract more people to serve him with the gentle and honest style of an elder.
Therefore, after Liu Bang occupied Xianyang, he would stay in Afang Palace for several days without leaving his true colors. However, after Li Principle achieved the basic unification of Qin, he still patrolled non-stop, using his words and deeds to educate and influence those around him.
Everyone, use their own example to make Qin move forward on the right path——.
Chang'an City.
In the winter twilight, it looks particularly cool and calm.
In this smog-free era, the smoke from coal burning is the only thing polluting the air. Behind the columns of black smoke rising into the sky is the water flow that supplies warmth to the entire city.
In the city, at the entrance to the public bathhouse.
In the afternoon, there was already a long queue. After a tiring day, I had the opportunity to wash off the dust on my body and let every inch of my skin relax under the moisturizing water.
The enjoyment of this place has already made those foreign businessmen and wanderers happy to miss Shu.
"Thank you, King Wu, for giving Great Qin a stable life."
"Thank you, madam, for designing such an unforgettable place."
When the people of Chang'an City were chanting about the good deeds of Li Yuan and Xin Zhui in the cold wind, their carriage had just arrived at Baqiao. After a long journey, even Li Yuan, who had always been strong, was a little overwhelmed.
However, Xin Zhui clung to Li Yuan's arms and refused to get up.
Ma Jin was familiar with the road and drove the eight-horse chariot directly into the Shenwu Prince's Mansion. Except for one word changed on the gate tower, this former prince's mansion was the same. Li Yuan was not in the mansion most of the time. Ying Yushu and Li Ye
often
Hou Jing lives in the palace, and this mansion is usually used more for official needs, but today, the servants who have been idle for a long time in the palace are all excited, and they have cleaned the streets outside the door and the paths in the palace early.
Clean.
"King Wu is back!"
When Li Yuan's car appeared at the end of the long street, there was a burst of joy in Prince Shenwu's palace. Seeing familiar figures all around, Xin Zhui's face immediately turned as red as an autumn apple. (To be continued...)
