Daqin Engineers

Chapter 349: Straight

This white shirt alchemist is Lu Sheng.

This wave of operations was too simple. Lu Sheng followed the orders of Ying Zheng to find Xian Menzi Gao, but returned to Xianyang to report in half a month:

"Thanks to the emperor, by chance, Caomin met his master."

"Cao Min urged his master to come to Xianyang to help the emperor, but the master only replied..."

Ying Zheng asked curiously:

"What is it?"

Lu Sheng hesitated for a while before repliing:

"The master said,'The one who died of Qin, Hu Ye!'!"

Ying Zheng repeated this sentence twice, and then frowned.

Secretly, is my country still unstable?

If the country is unstable, then what is the point of talking about immortality?

It's no wonder that immortals don't want to come to Xianyang, it's no wonder that Shen Bing worked hard in the North Land...

Ying Zheng's idea is correct, at least in the direction.

If there are people who can threaten Daqin's country, then Ying Zheng's life may still be threatened by others.

If so, what will happen even if Ying Zheng gets the elixir of life?

The elixir can only make Yingzheng immortal, but it cannot guarantee that Yingzheng is not a bad body.

Even if Yingzheng is not old, one day the Huns will be able to defeat the Qin army and even arrest Yingzheng and chop off his head...what if he can live forever?

From the perspective of the immortal, if it is known that the "Human will perish in Qin", then it would be a waste of energy to develop the elixir for Yingzheng.

At this point, Ying Zheng was thankful that he had not rashly transferred Shen Bing back from the North.

He even thought to himself:

"This Shen Bingguo is the lucky general sent by the fairy to help me!"

"Doesn't he know that Daqin's troubles are the northerners?"

"At this moment, I am trying my best to help Da Qin solve the problems of the Huns, and I want to transfer it back..."

"It's so stupid, so stupid!"

So Ying Zheng didn't say anything, but ordered people to give Lu Sheng a lot of rewards, and he stayed in Xianyang at any time to wait for condemnation.

On the other hand, of course, there would be no idea of ​​transferring Shen Bing back to Xianyang.

Not only did he lose his thoughts, but he also hoped that Shen Bing could stay in the north and destroy the Huns for him, so he gave two orders:

One is to make Shenbing a general of the North, and command a hundred thousand army to attack the Huns in the north... This one hundred thousand army is naturally Yingzheng's reinforcement to the North.

Another command is to build a straight road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan.

In this way, the follow-up reinforcements and materials of the Great Qin Dynasty can continuously and quickly reach the north to support the Shen soldiers to fight against the Huns... In this way, can you see that the Huns can reach the sky to destroy the Qin?

This is just Ying Zheng's thinking at this time.

As we all know, in the history of Yingzheng, Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 troops to attack the Huns in the north. Later, when he realized that the Xiongnu would be difficult to be completely defeated or even eliminated, he let Meng Tian connect the Qin, Yan, and Zhao Great Walls in the north to prevent the Huns from going south.

After Zhao Gao heard these orders from Yingzheng, he was a little bit happy and a little sad.

The joy is:

Yingzheng finally dispelled the idea of ​​transferring Shen Bing and Fusu back to Xianyang, and from this point of view, they will not be transferred back for a long time in the future.

The worry is:

This series of actions by Yingzheng is afraid to accelerate the development of the Northland and make it stronger.

But this is no way.

There is a way to gain and lose. If you want to keep Fusu in the North, you must find some excuses, and if you find an excuse, you can only make him sit big...

The two evils are the lesser one, and it is better to do so without taking it for granted.

After receiving these orders from Yingzheng, Shen Bing was somewhat happy and a little worried.

First of all, the biggest and most direct benefit is the 100,000 reinforcements.

Moreover, the 100,000 reinforcements were still soldiers from Hanoi led by Yang Duanhe, who were veterans who fought all the way from Xianyang to Chu State!

What is more exciting in this world than to get a good soldier?

Shen Bing's Northland was short of troops, so he sent troops without wanting to win the government.

The second is the straight road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan mentioned by Ying Zheng.

Shen Bing was worried about the inconvenience of Jiuyuan and needed to build roads. Ying Zheng came up with a "straight road plan."

This straight road crosses the Yellow River from Jiuyuan directly south to Xianyang. It has a total length of more than 700 kilometers, with 61 meters at its widest point and 12 meters at its narrowest point.

In addition to its military value, it also has huge commercial value. Things produced in Jiuyuan and Yunzhong County can go directly to the richest place in the Qin Kingdom...Xianyang through this road.

Although Xianyang is not yet the richest place at this time, it will soon be.

Because Qin also implemented a policy after he ruled the world, he moved all the wealthy people in the world to Xianyang.

This is what Ying Zheng thinks:

Most people who rebel in rebellion are rich people, because only money has funds to buy equipment and food to organize an army.

Therefore, if the wealthy people in the world are concentrated in Xianyang, wouldn't the people who have only a few copper plates in their hands be unable to rebel?

Another related policy is to seize civilian weapons and even metals except for the Qin Army.

Because he felt that if the people didn't have metal in their hands, they couldn't make weapons, and they couldn't rebel without weapons.

From the current perspective, these are obviously unrealistic.

Even so, the peasant uprisings in the late Qin Dynasty were still everywhere, which shows that the ancient people's ideas were sometimes very simple and straightforward.

If one day Xianyang becomes a gathering place for the rich in the world, but the Northland is a highly autonomous industrial area with a 700-kilometer-long "highway", what will happen to the Northland?

Isn't it easy to want what resources you want to sell?

Coupled with the fact that Jiuyuan is close to the border and the Western Regions, the proper one is the "Import and Export Company".

However, Shen Bing still frowned.

Fusu even felt a little uncomfortable, because he didn't understand why Ying Zheng suddenly paid so much attention to the North, so he immediately increased his troops by 100,000 and sent Yang Duanhe's Hanoi soldiers.

Shen Bing understood why.

It is because of the phrase "Hu Ye who died of Qin".

This is obviously a lie, because Shen Bing knew that it was not the Huns who had killed Qin.

This is just that those alchemists have found an excuse for Yingzheng...The countries in the Central Plains have been destroyed one by one, and now the only people who can become the opponents of the Qin are the Huns in the north.

So if you find an opponent who can "destroy Qin" to scare Yingzheng, isn't it just the Huns?

Shen Bing was worried that Ying Zheng was going to order the Northern Army to destroy the Xiongnu...

When Meng Tian did this, he had 300,000 Qin Jun in his hand.

Why did he only have one hundred thousand Qin Army plus twenty thousand Northland Army in his own hands?

The 120,000 army will go north to the grassland to fight the 200,000 to 300,000 Huns cavalry. Is this going crazy?

Is this going to wipe out the Huns or to die?

On the other hand, Yang Duanhe’s Hanoi army was in Handan at this time, and it would take about a month from Handan to Jiuyuan, when the army would go north.

That is, the preparation time left for the Northland may only be one month.
