Chapter 319
Until the moment the huge butcher knife was raised high above his head, Lu Zhi's heart was still full of hatred. Until today, Lu Zhi already knew that Ying Gao was just fooling him.
He never wanted to let himself live from beginning to end, but he gave himself hope and hope again and again. Such death was nothing more than his most unacceptable. In the last night of his life, he must have been what Ying Gao did to disgust and mock him. Although he was as clear as a mirror in his heart and had many unwillingness, the huge blade still fell.
Until the moment the blade fell, Lu Zhi still felt endless hatred in her heart. In a sentence that Ying Gao often used in later generations, this hatred was endless.
But I hate it, Lu Zhi's head has changed a place because of the crime of rebelling against Qin, which is a sure death in Qin law. The person behind all this, Ying Gao, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, also turned his attention to other places after returning to Xianyang Palace.
Liu Bang was already in prison. This was Ying Gao's expectation, but also made him feel a little lonely. During the period from his arrival in Qin, some of the characters he was familiar with in history books died under his butcher's knife because of his rebellion. I'm afraid Ying Gao could not count even if he had a pair of hands and feet.
When these romantic figures that I had known before were basically killed by myself, was it that I had completely created a new history?
If this is true, what trouble will Xiang Yu, who is about the same age as him and is surrounded by talents in the end? What difficulties can that talented person who is not born in the Huns bring to him, and what kind of difficulties can Maodun, who is also similar to his age?
Also, my own new policy can really bring new life to the Qin Dynasty as I expected, or will it have many negative impacts on the Qin Dynasty because of my incomplete thoughts and lack of in-depth understanding of the Qin Dynasty?
These one by one, they all pressed on Ying Gao's shoulders like mountains. Only by understanding the inside and out of the Qin Dynasty and straightening it out can Ying Gao achieve the goal he set for himself when he just arrived at this era and become a Xiaoyao King in a prosperous era. Now, this title is probably a change and change this king to an emperor.
According to Ying Gao's prediction, Xiao He should return within one month, because when the last letter reached Master Ying, he had already arrived at Dai County, the farthest county from Xianyang City, which was located in Dai County, the county seat of Dai County, which was the farthest from Xianyang City in the area where he was on tour.
In this county that originally belonged to Zhao State, Xiao He thought that he had discovered some problems, but he did not explain it in the letter, but only told Ying Gao not to release radical strategies in Xianyang City for the time being, or make any modifications to the Qin law.
This made Ying Gao feel a little confused. After all, these three Qin laws were Ying Gao’s test of the waters in the Qin Dynasty. If something really happened, Ying Gao’s subsequent plans would obviously have to be re-planned again, which would be obviously a painful thing for him.
As for the eldest son of Liu Bang who was not satisfied with two years after the extermination of Liu Bang's party feuds this time, Ying Gao did fulfill his promise after agreeing to Lu Zhi and Liu Bang. However, the day after Liu Bang and Lu Zhi were sentenced to death, the young child was sent out of Xianyang City by a small team of people. No one knew where he was going, and of course he himself did not know at this age.
Ying Gao just hopes that this child who knows nothing can grow up like an ordinary child in the Qin Dynasty. On this land under his own control, Ying Gao believes that he can have a chance to start over, and it is much better than his life with the emperor's hat in his previous life for only 20 years.
As for Lu Wan and others who were still waiting for Liu Bang in Guilin County, as well as the four or five thousand men under their command, Ying Gao did not put them at all. He just wrote a letter to Fusu, and then brought it to Nanhai County by a guard. He believed that the little tail he left for Fusu should be given to Fusu to try it out, and at the same time, he increased his power in Nanhai County.
After settled down, Ying Gao welcomed a rare short rest. Since Xiao He begged himself not to mess around in the court, Xiao He was investigating and surveying the north of the Qin territory, and both the east and the south were working hard to change the previous status quo, while Nanyue outside the country was just a group of scattered soldiers and brave men. The current situation of the three major ethnic groups in the north was not something that he could do. So what Ying Gao wanted to solve directly in this short period of time was two things that were big or small.
The first thing that happened was that Ying Gao personally came to the place where Zhang Kai was. This man who had already worked as an official position with a low salary in Xianyang City was still like a reckless blacksmith, rubbing his hands constantly. He didn't know what to say, because the emperor came to a place where other officials in his daily life were unwilling to come, which was a bit beyond his expectations.
"I don't know if you are here... here..."
Zhang Kai obviously wanted to ask Ying Gao what you are here for, but when he started asking this, he felt a little rude, so after asking half of the questions, he didn't know what to say.
"You have been an official in the court of my Xianyang Palace for so long, why are you still so kind to this worldly manner? Could it be that your official, who is not old, has lost his heart to be upright?"
Although Zhang Kai was originally recruited by Zhang Liang, his honest temperament and superb skills and wonderful ideas in iron smelting and mechanical skills really made him a scenic spot in the Qin officialdom in Ying Gao's heart.
Zhang Kai is one of the few practical practitioners in the court. According to what Ying Gao often said to Xiao He, he would not change Zhang Kai even if he gave him two carriages! After hearing this, Xiao He always smiled without saying anything. Obviously, Xiao He did not agree with the statement that Ying Gao, the censor, was not valuable at all, but Ying Gao's own view would not be changed easily.
During this period, several censors who were sent by Ying Gao to be county magistrates were directly demoted by Ying Gao to lower nobles who only had a fourth-level title but were not upgraded because of the chaos of governing the county under his jurisdiction. It can be seen that Ying Gao hated these guys who were only good at talking but not real talent. Even if they were given a fourth-level title, Ying Gao actually felt that they had blocked the promotion of the Guizhou leader who worked hard to kill the enemy or were serving labor service...
These things further highlight Ying Gao's love for talents like Zhang Kai, but Zhang Kai himself didn't feel it.
"Your Majesty, don't joke. Zhang Kai is just a little interested in this smelting technique. If you ask Zhang Kai to go to other positions, Zhang Kai will be really difficult to be competent..."
If someone else heard the emperor suggesting him like this, he would have been so happy that he would not know what was going on. However, when he arrived here, he waved his hands repeatedly and scratched his head and refused.
"I came here to see the armored weapons made from weapons against the Huns that I told you before. Besides, how was the drawing I gave you when I entered the palace the last time?"
When Zhang Kai heard Ying Gao's words, he put away his hippie and smiled expression and changed to a very serious look. Obviously, the two things Ying Gao said just now were all great things for him.
He opened his eyes and then shut all the guards at the door back. Ying Gao thought for a while and sent out all the guards around him, leaving behind a Zhu family, who still followed Ying Gao like a shadow.
"Please follow me."
After saying this, Zhang Kai took Ying Gao to the inner room of the mansion. After passing through the inner room, Zhang Kai touched somewhere on a rather inconspicuous wall. After that, a wooden wardrobe standing beside the wall suddenly moved slowly.
"Your Majesty, please come with me."
As he spoke, Zhang Kai walked in first. Ying Gao was about to follow, but the Zhu family quietly pulled Ying Gao from behind. Ying Gao saw the meaning and knew that the Zhu family must have tried to persuade Ying Gao to bring in a few more guards, not to be afraid of ten thousand, but to be afraid of something.
But Ying Gao just waved his hand to the Zhu family, and it was obvious that he still trusted Zhang Kai very much.
The Zhu family had no choice but to sigh slightly, thinking that if you really have something wrong with each other, you don’t have to blame others. Brother, wouldn’t I have to be buried with you?
After entering this dark room, Ying Gao did not feel the depression here, nor did he feel the thin oxygen and difficulty breathing. A candle had already burned on the wall here, and it was cleaned up spotlessly. It was obviously a place where he opened and frequented.
"What's your intention to dig out such a place in Xianyang City, Daqin?"
Obviously, Ying Gao was just a joke, but this was heard in the open ears walking in front of him, but it was so scared that he could not tell him that he could not make any mistakes and said, "What the Lord had asked Kai before was all the secrets of my Great Qin, so Kai did not dare to slack off. Once he created what the Lord asked for, he would never dare to mass produce without the orders of the Lord. Otherwise, once he was found out by someone with a heart, the consequences would be unimaginable. This was the time of today. Don't blame him."
"Why do I blame you for your dedication to me, Daqin? If all the objects you have made for me are useless things, I will blame you!"
As he spoke, Ying Gao patted his broad shoulders to open, even as encouragement.
Seeing that Ying Gao's face was still smiling, he opened it and relieved his heart. He quickly led Ying Gao and Zhu's family into the aisle. This was obviously a spacious showroom. The candles inside were several times that outside. After entering, Ying Gao looked at him and never looked away.
I saw this spacious dark room, with at least twenty or thirty pieces of weapons and armor hanging on the wall, and some pieces made of wood, Ying Gao didn't know what he was for at first glance.
"Your Majesty, look at this sword!"
Before Ying Gao could finish watching the display on the wall, Zhang Kai was already excitedly holding a long sword to Ying Gao's side.
Ying Gao saw that it was a long sword made of fine iron. The sword body was narrow and long, at least one-third longer than the short sword of an ordinary warrior. However, the blade was not very wide and full of weight. Ying Gao took the long sword over and the one on the other end was heavy. However, because he had no combat experience, Ying Gao simply handed the sword directly to the Zhu family behind him and signaled him to weigh it.
"Your Majesty, the Huns equipment brought back by General Meng Tian before were almost all leather armor, and the weapons were mainly bows and crossbows, supplemented by straight swords and short spears. Obviously, when the bows and crossbows cannot solve the problem, they will immediately fight in close combat. The Huns' melee battles are obviously a means of fighting for life. Therefore, if our army wants to avoid exchanging one life with the Huns, the weapons need to be slightly longer than the Huns' weapons. Secondly, they cannot be too heavy and can cut off the leather armor of the Huns. This long sword was made up of the most solid iron of our Qin Dynasty in accordance with these requirements. It can become the main weapon of our cavalry except Qin crossbows!"
Zhang Kai obviously put hard work into research on the Huns' set of things. Although this long sword seems to be nothing unusual to Ying Gao's opinion, it has obviously been strictly considered from the durability, weight, length and style. At least this shape has never been seen in this era. You can see from the excited expression in the eyes of the Zhu family, a fighting expert, that this thing must be a good thing.
After this era, Ying Gao has learned more or less about weapons. Sometimes you just adjust the length by a few inches, and the effects of the battle are very different. Therefore, Ying Gao believes that once he reaches the battlefield, he will definitely create some surprises for himself.
Because Zhang Kai's personality has already obtained samples of the Huns' armor and weapons, it is impossible for him to try it out if he makes these things. According to Ying Gao's understanding of Zhang Kai, these may be the version he modified dozens of times. He was a little satisfied with, so he was qualified to be hung here and wait for Ying Gao's inspection.
