Chapter 32: Zheng Guoqu and Meal Chu Zhao

Qi was captured without bloodshed again, and the whole Qin State once again fell into a sea of ​​joy, while the remaining three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, and Yan were trembling.

Because of the strong strength of Chu and Zhao, although they were afraid of Qin and still had some resistance, the cold and barren Yan State was frightened and started to act impatiently.

"Prince, Jing Ke, a humble citizen! I am willing to go to Xianyang to assassinate King Qin Ying Zheng!"

"Do you really mean what the strong man said?" Prince Dan of Yan looked at this somewhat unfamiliar guest with a surprised look on his face.

"Strong man, you said you are Jing Ke?"

"Exactly!"

"He is indeed a hero of our Yan Kingdom! Jing Ke, please drink the wine from the cup!"

"Thank you, Prince!"

Jing Ke was moved and drank the wine given by Prince Yan Dan. He felt really heroic. Thinking that he would soon become a hero for assassinating King Ying Zheng of Qin, Jing Ke was so excited that he could not control himself.

...

Lu Buwei saw that Ying Zheng had taken over the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qi so easily, and was really worried that he would attack Chu directly. In order to prevent Ying Zheng from advancing rashly, he found Zheng Guo, a hydraulic engineer from South Korea.

In fact, in the first year of the Qin Dynasty, Lu Buwei wanted to build a water conservancy project in the Guanzhong area, but because it was too expensive, he didn't take it to heart for a while. It was only now in order to contain Qin Wang Yingzheng that he thought about it again.

"Your Majesty, I want to build a water conservancy project in the Guanzhong area that diverts Jingshui in the west and injects Luoshui in the east. It is about three hundred miles away and will take ten years!"

"No, Your Majesty! This water conservancy project was already rejected in the first year of the Qin Dynasty because of the huge cost!" Of course Li Si understood Lu Buwei's purpose and quickly retorted.

Lu Buwei looked at Li Si in surprise, not expecting that he would refute him, and felt a little insulted.

"Li Neishi, are you sure you want to refute the truth?"

"Lu Xiangguo, now that our Qin Dynasty has just captured the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, and Yan in one fell swoop." Because he felt that King Qin Yingzheng would favor him, Li Si was not afraid of Lu Buwei at all.

"Absurd! The Yan State is a bitter and cold land, and it is already hostile to our country, the Qin Dynasty. What's the point of occupying it in a hurry?"

"The Chu State occupies half of the rivers and mountains in the south. It has Xiang Yan in military affairs and Chun Shenjun and Li Yuan in literature. It is not comparable to weak countries like Han and Wei!"

"As for the Kingdom of Zhao, even though Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of Great Qin, killed 400,000 surrendered troops, it still has famous generals such as Pang Nuan and Li Mu, and is assisted by famous ministers such as Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng. Is it so easy to capture it?"

"This..." Li Si was suddenly stunned and speechless.

"What Lu Xiangguo said makes sense! The Yan State is indeed a small and bitter land. It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to abandon it! As for Chu and Zhao, although they are powerful, they still continue to attack, but there is no need to launch a war to destroy the country for the time being. Just need to

It’s better to break down the meal step by step!”

"Your Majesty, Shengming!" Lu Buwei shouted quickly.

Li Si on the side looked disappointed. He thought that King Qin Yingzheng would favor him. After all, in his heart, he was King Qin's confidant.

"Lu Xiangguo, I will leave it to you and Zheng Guo to build water conservancy projects in Guanzhong."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"The recruited laborers, regardless of whether they are from Qin, Han, Wei, or Qi, must pay Da Qin new coins! Of course, if you need prisoners and captives, you don't have to pay new coins."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"General Wang Jian!"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead 50,000 Qin troops to attack Chu from various places, and gradually break up Southern Chu. The areas you occupy must be integrated into our great Qin as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"General Meng Wu!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered you to lead 100,000 Qin troops to attack the State of Zhao. You must not give the State of Zhao any chance to recuperate!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"I will arrange for Dr. Yao Jia to cooperate with all your actions in Handan."

I heard that although King Qin Yingzheng followed his own advice and agreed to build a water conservancy project in Guanzhong, he still continued to attack Chu and Zhao.

Although he knew in his heart that King Qin Yingzheng was right, Lu Buwei still felt a little unhappy when he saw King Qin Yingzheng dispatching his troops and generals.

The Chu clan on the side saw that there was still nothing to do with them, and suddenly they couldn't hold it any longer. Mi Qi, Lord of Changping, suggested, "Your Majesty, I think we should go to Shouchun, the State of Chu, to persuade the King of Chu to accept my canonization by Great Qin!"

"Huh? Lord Changping, if I remember correctly, you are the biological son of the current King of Chu. Do you think the King of Chu will accept it?"

"This..." The Chu State was powerful and would not accept the canonization of Qin, so Changping Jun Mi Qi was a little embarrassed.

"However, these words of Lord Changping also reminded me that we should indeed send an important minister of our Great Qin State to Shouchun of Chu State to win over those Chu State ministers who are close to our Great Qin State."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" Mi Qi, Lord of Changping, once again expressed surprise.

"Huh? Everyone understands what I mean by loving you! It's just that I love you because of your special status. Do you really want to go to Shouchun?"

"Your Majesty, I will die without regrets!"

"Well! In that case, I will send Ai Qing as the special envoy of Da Qin to the State of Chu to lobby and win over the Chu officials who are close to Da Qin."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Yang Duanhe!"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead the bodyguard to protect the safety of Changping Lord Mi Qi!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

In my impression, Mi Qi, Lord of Changping, seemed to have been the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty for more than ten years. He made great contributions by expelling Lu Buwei and putting down the Lao Ai rebellion.

But later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly rebelled against Qin and became the king of Chu. It was as ridiculous as joining the army in 1949. It was probably set up by Ying Zheng.

There is also the young master Cheng Jiao in the original drama. In the eighth year of the Qin Dynasty, he led his army to attack South Korea, but was coerced by the deputy general Fan Yuqi to rebel.

What a big joke. You must know that Fan Yuqi was a confidant of King Qin Yingzheng. He was once the personal bodyguard of King Qin Yingzheng. He would rebel against Qin because of specious and unfair treatment. This must be the strategy of King Qin Yingzheng.

Of course, now that Lao Ai has been completely eliminated by Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji is also restricted to the harem and cannot hold power like in the original drama, so there is no possibility of rebellion.

As for the young master, Cheng Jiao, who is still peacefully studying in the palace and learning to ride and shoot, Ying Zheng is not planning to murder him. When the world is unified, he will consider enfeoffing him and making him a king.

Ying Zheng also considered resolutely adopting the system of prefectures and counties like Qin Shihuang in the original time and space, but the current conditions are so bad that the people's thinking has not yet completely changed.

Therefore, it was most appropriate for the feudal system to coexist with the county system. Of course, military and financial power would not be left behind. At that time, the king was more like the highest official position in a place and more like a "mascot."

Not only can it appease the people of the world, but it can also demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of the Qin Dynasty. Once the idea of ​​​​unifying the world is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Ying Zheng's mission will be completed.
