Chapter 1489 The unlucky egg on top of the pot
Three days passed in a flash.
While Chen Xu arranged for people to send more than ten bicycles made by the experimental factory to the palace, another news began to spread among the people.
Marquis of Wucheng, who was preparing to lead his troops to fight for Anxue, was frightened by a tiger and injured his legs. Marquis of Qinghe personally recommended Li Zuo, the legitimate grandson of the former Zhao general Li Mu, to Emperor Shi, to be the commander of the new army, and led 3,000 horsemen and 3,000 elite servants of the Three Kingdoms of Liang in the Liao Dynasty to prepare to send troops to fight Anxue. At the same time, Li Mu's two nephews were actually launched, Li Xiong and Li Dai, the rebel Li Xiong and Li Dai who broke Yanmen Pass and fought against Wucheng Hou.
As soon as this news appeared, the city was in an uproar. Both kings, princes, princes, ministers, and ordinary people felt that it was fake news, and it was ridiculously fake.
But as the Hou Qinghe asked to take a heroic young man to the Ministry of Justice to investigate Li Xiong and Li Dai, the news soon became corrupt. Judging from the news circulating in the prison, Li Xiong and Li Dai were both grateful and kneeled down on their knees.
"Dangdangdangdang..."
As a melodious bell sound came from the palace, and after a mountain in the heavily guarded court hall, the civil and military ministers who attended the court talked about the court and left the court. As the officials dispersed to their respective offices, the arrangements for the expedition to rest were completely confirmed, which was exactly the same as the news circulated a few days ago.
Marquis of Wucheng was injured and stayed in the capital to recuperate. Li Zuo was appointed as the commander of the new army, and Li Xiong and Li Dai were appointed as the deputy general. Because neither of them had military achievements, they all received empty titles.
All the six thousand soldiers were horse soldiers. Whether it was the generals of the Qin Dynasty or the servants of the three kingdoms of Liang in the Liao Dynasty, they were all equipped with armor, sabers and light crossbows of the unified Qin Dynasty. All soldiers treated the organization and management equally. In addition, the three thousand soldiers of the Qin army were also equipped with the latest developed military individual equipment: enamel tea tanks, military kettles, steel helmets, folding bodyguards, marching blankets, sleeping bags, and at least fifty kilograms of mixed compressed dry food per person. All soldiers required one person to be equipped with two horses.
In addition, there were more than a hundred prisoners, chief officials, guardians, and doctors and nurses sent by the Ministry of War.
After the scattered court, the decree was immediately issued from the Secretariat to the various government offices of the three provinces and six ministries. Soon a large number of messengers came out from the four gates of Xianyang and spread to various places. The decree required that all generals and soldiers be assembled in the Longxi camp before the end of February, and all equipment and food and grass logistics were arranged in place. They set off in early March, and then marched quickly to Dayuan in early May. After arriving, the army was temporarily controlled by the Hou Jianghu of Yinshan, and all food and grass were temporarily raised by King Ning.
News and decrees from the court were soon published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily, with the business traveling and newspapers traveling from south to north, and the world was shocked, and the people who were most excited were the people in Zhao.
This time the troops were sent to fight for peace, which was a thunder and light rain. Last October, when he learned that Li Shun's delegation was missing, the First Emperor was furious and ordered the whole country to build weapons and raise food and train elite troops. According to the scale of the order, at least a hundred thousand troops would be used to conquer peace, which made the world feel that the people would be in danger of being nervous. From the heavy ministers like Feng Quji Wei Liao to ordinary people, they felt that they would have to tighten their belts again.
But unexpectedly, the final outcome was that only six thousand troops were dispatched, and the Qin army was only three thousand, and the other three thousand were the servants of Liang in the Liao Dynasty. In an instant, the scale of this country-shaking battle became a playhouse. The battle of princes in the Central Plains, such a small-scale battle never occurred, so the emotions of the people and the court instantly became unreasonable, especially Feng Quji, who heard that he had been jumping around while walking recently.
What is most puzzling is that the generals of this army were the former general of Zhao Li Mu, the family of former generals of Zhao. The head coach was Li Mu, who was only nineteen years old, and his name was unheard of. The other two deputy generals were death row prisoners in the Yanmen Pass incident.
The First Emperor's request for the three Li people in the court, and asked the Ministry of Revenue to move all the three tribes of Li to the capital, allocate grain fields and houses, and take care of the three military positions every month according to the payment of money and grain for the three people.
Everyone in the world understands the emperor's meaning, but no one will use this to attack the court. They will only lament that the three of Li and the three are lucky and meet a person like Qinghehou who recommends talents in an unconventional manner.
In addition to kneeling down in the court, the three uncles and nephews of Li's family swearing to express their convictions and make contributions to the emperor's kindness, Li Xiong and Li Dai even pointed out their ambitions, saying that Li's family has completely surrendered to the court and went to the West to kill the enemy and make contributions.
Whether it was a show or a temporary intention, it was this time the appointment of the imperial court and the military action that completely disrupted the sentiment of the people in the six countries. Many people who were originally resistant to the imperial court began to change their attitudes, especially the people in Zhao. A large number of gentry and famous scholars wrote to officials in various places to express their affirmation of the benevolence of the First Emperor, and various praises were beyond words. When the content of these memorials was slowly published in the newspaper, the hostility of the people in Zhao towards the rule of the Qin Dynasty melted rapidly like the ice and snow in early spring. The people in the northwest counties gradually publicly discussed and praised the benevolence of the First Emperor. A large number of people began to actively express their favor towards the court and officials, and the opposition between the officials and the people was greatly alleviated.
Of course, the freezing three feet is not a day long, and everything needs to be changed slowly, but this is an excellent start in the end.
The world is unified and China is unified. In addition to the baptism and fusion of blood and fire, the attitude of the court also determines the attitude and emotions of the people. If the Qin Dynasty wants long-term stability and prosperity, it must always bring the hearts of the seven countries together.
Since we want to escape the cliff-like collapse and disaster in history, it requires even greater courage from the emperor and the court.
And Chen Xu is not short of this courage, and the First Emperor is not short of it either.
Although the First Emperor was not very concerned about the significance of Chen Xu's doing this, he understood that Chen Xu would not harm him, nor would he harm the Qin Dynasty. When Chen Xu wanted to erect the Chinese divine monument in the square in front of the auditorium and erect the statue of the commander of the Chinese emperor for him, he deeply felt Chen Xu's deep love and attachment to this country.
Compared to the First Emperor himself, Chen Xu seemed to love the Qin Dynasty more, and all the reforms and innovations promoted by him, including from Chen Xu's various words, Emperor First Emperor clearly realized that Chen Xu's purpose of doing this was very clear, which was to make Chinese civilization grow continuously and no longer suffer from turmoil and war.
While the order to conquer Anxie was released, the First Emperor also issued an elusive special order in the court, demoting Prince Ying Ji to Yunnan and seizing the royal family status of Zhao's surname. The descendants will never return to Xianyang forever.
This news is extremely strange, but the people are not very interested. There are groups among the people who like to explore the royal rumor. However, because they have no roots and no reason, they can only guess that Ying Ji did something wrong and was demoted by the First Emperor. Moreover, Ying Ji was just a descendant of Juncheng, Chang'an. Cheng had been beheaded when he rebelled against Qin and his status was not worth mentioning. Ying Jikong had the status of a royal family, but his status was not as good as that of an ordinary civilian, so the matter was soon left unresolved.
Only a small number of nobles, including Chen Xu, Zhao Hai, Meng Yi, etc., knew the real secret behind this matter.
Ying Ji was just an unlucky guy who took it out to serve the pot.
A few days ago, the royal boy in the back garden of the palace almost completely tore up the conflict between the royal family and the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion. Whether it is someone who is deliberately provoking it with ill intentions or whether it is the envy of Chen Xu and the luxurious life of Chen Xu, it shows that the royal family has a hostility towards Chen Xu. Chen Xu's identity and daily behavior have already made the royal family feel threatened, and some people have begun to be dissatisfied with him.
Zhao Hai and others threw Ying Ji out, and the emperor also deposed him as a commoner. This was a conclusion and no one would pursue it again.
...
I am busy, and February is coming in a blink of an eye.
The spring scenery is even stronger in mid-spring.
The entire Qin Dynasty was from south to north to east to west, with flowers blooming like flowers, and flowers competed for beauty, grass and birds of birds flying.
The mulberry farmlands across the country have turned green, and countless port, terminal and highway water conservancy projects have been built even more in full swing.
The large amount of food and grass funds originally planned to be raised for the fight against peace began to be invested in the construction of the country and people's livelihood, which further stimulated the development of industrial, agricultural and commerce. As the construction of the Beijing University was gradually completed, counties and counties in various places were also stimulated to start a large-scale school construction. In the spring of the second five-year plan implemented by Qinghehou, national education finally received attention and became in full swing.
If any county governor misses the opportunity to allow the students under his rule to go to the Capital University for further studies, then in the end, all the officials appointed by the county governor will be occupied by outsiders. This is a result that all local gentry and famous scholars do not want to see.
This is an era with very strong regional discrimination.
If outsiders occupy the pit of local people, they will not only lose face, but local people will also poke the backbone of local officials and gentry, and will continue to lose their character and voices.
While the whole country is vigorously engaged in economic and cultural construction, a novel and unique cable bridge on the Wei River near the South Gate in Xianyang, the capital, was completed in just a few days after nearly three months of preparation, becoming a unique landscape on the Wei River where the river flows.
With the completion of the Weihe Second Bridge, the congested bridge suddenly became smooth. A large number of heavy trucks and trucks walked on the cement bridge, and pedestrians and lightweight chariots walked on the second bridge. The traffic between the two sides of the strait was much smoother under the diversion.
