The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 564: Zhao Guo is destroyed, tea is brewed on the river!

In the early morning of the next day, Master Du, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, requested His Majesty to resign from office and return to his hometown. His Majesty retained a few words of consent, and then appointed Song Yingxing as Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Only a few cabinet scholars knew about this matter, and the others looked at Song Yingxing's name at first glance. Who is this person? They always feel familiar, but they can't remember who it is. Why did they suddenly become Minister of the Ministry of Industry?

On the contrary, the two servants of the Ministry of Industry looked gloomy. When Song Yingxing was the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, they used to be doctors of the Ministry of Industry. What is the situation?

In the next few days, Song Yingxing's new official took office three times. Xiao Rui asked Wei Zhongxian to collect evidence of corruption and bribery by the two servants of the Ministry of Industry and handed them over to him. Song Yingxing's first fire sent the two servants of the Ministry of Industry to prison , while deterring the Ministry of Industry from top to bottom.

Xiao Rui also found time to talk with Song Yingxing, and took him to see the secrets of gunpowder, cement, Zhuge Liannu, etc., and let him be fully responsible for the franchise operation of the coal mine project! Three hundred will be issued initially, and Song Yingxing will be responsible for the specific content.

Knowing these confidential matters, Song Yingxing realized the heavy responsibility he shouldered, not only would he not shrink back, but he would face up to the difficulties and repay the appreciation of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

...

Before I knew it, it had already entered December, and there was still one month left before the end of the year. Although the weather is cold and shows signs of continuing to decline, it has not affected the upsurge of the people in Daxia to celebrate the New Year. At this time, the streets and alleys of Kyoto are full of New Year's flavor.

But Zhao Guo failed to survive this year.

Chuan Jianguo contacted the aristocratic family, wooed the generals defending the city, and then opened the city gate on a dark and windy night for a month, inviting the Qin army to enter the city. The general of Qin State Bai Meng led his troops into the palace. The new emperor of Zhao State was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and finally hanged himself in the palace.

In the early morning, the sky was very bright.

Bai Meng, the great general of Qin State, stood in front of the gate of the Golden Palace, looking at the towering imperial capital of Zhao State, a smile finally bloomed on his resolute face.

"Decree to the world that Emperor Zhao is dead and the country of Zhao is gone. Those who resist in the corner will be killed without pardon! Those who take the initiative to surrender will not be blamed! Order Babaili to report back to Qin Capital as soon as possible, and report this news to His Majesty!" Bai Meng ordered.

The lieutenant next to him immediately retreated and went to do it quickly.

Afterwards, the news of Zhao's fall began to spread all over the world!

Chang Shenghou was sitting in Qijiang, Gan Ning was not idle, and began to manage the great cause of the navy, but it was impossible to train a powerful navy in a short time, and it was necessary to build a large ship. Navy?

According to Gan Ning's plan, it will take two years for the navy to develop its scale, and within three years, the scale will not be inferior to that of the Qijiang camp. Of course, this speed was built by myself. If the wolf can be empty-handed, the speed will be greatly improved.

How to be a white wolf with empty gloves?

Gan Ning's gaze never left Qi Jiang's camp.

Qijiangying has a huge navy with many warships, managed by a navy general and two deputy commanders. The last time Xiao Rui was captured in Qi Jiang, it was Huang Qilin who colluded with a deputy governor. Since ancient times, the two deputies have been enemies, and everyone must have disliked the other, so Gan Ning has been wooing the other deputy Dutong during this period, and the results have been good.

The demise of Zhao State is the general trend. As an official of Zhao State, how to choose is related to the rest of his life. Should he sacrifice his life loyally for the country, or directly surrender to Qin State, or defect to Daxia?

Gan Ning has already obtained promises from Chang Shenghou and the prince, so he can offer better bargaining chips to win over.

Now with the fall of the Zhao Kingdom, after the news reached Qi Jiangying, the king's heart was also scattered and people were panicked.

Da Dutong of Qijiang Camp is a stubborn old minister, and it is almost impossible for him to join Qin, so after the two navy deputy Dutong conspired, they started killing people!

On the fifth day after Zhao Huang's death, the two deputy commanders planned to trap and kill the commander of the water army. The ship went to Daxia, and the other person naturally did not dare to go to Daxia, so he surrendered to Daqin.

In this way, Gan Ning got 30,000 sailors and a large number of warships without any effort, and he really became rich overnight.

In addition, after Bai Meng captured the imperial capital of Zhao State, he sent his troops to the east to sweep the rebellious Zhao army, reaching the west bank of Qijiang River, and quickly received the surrendered Qijiang camp, facing the east bank across the river.

At this moment, Marquis Chang Sheng was also waiting on the east bank early.

One east and one west in mainland China, the two countries that had never met before finally met for the first time.

It's too rude to look at each other across the river without saying a word, and Daxia and Daqin haven't started fighting yet, so they are now considered neighbors on the border.

So Chang Shenghou sent someone to deliver a letter, inviting General Baimeng Jiangshang to taste tea.

Bai Meng readily agreed, and immediately took the two lieutenants on board the upstairs boat. Chang Shenghou and Zhenyuan Hou Han Ming and Chen Qingzhi met by boat.

The two sides met in the middle of the river, because it was Chang Shenghou Tian Boyuan who invited each other, so Bai Meng was a guest, so he moved to Chang Shenghou's boat.

The two met and looked at each other. They were both generals with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Although they were in different camps, heroes cherished heroes.

Tian Boyuan stretched out his hand to invite, and said with a smile: "I've heard about General Bai's reputation for a long time, but seeing him today is really extraordinary, please..."

Bai Meng clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Master Hou is the Marquis of Great Xia Changsheng, and he is famous far and wide. It's better to meet you than to be famous!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, then sat on the deck on the floor, sipping tea on the river and talking about the world.

"The State of Zhao has been destroyed. From today onwards, Great Xia and Gui State will be neighbors." Tian Boyuan held up the teacup and said respectfully.

Bai Meng responded with a smile and said, "Yes, it is both an honor and a pressure to be a neighbor of Xia Guo. Your Majesty the Emperor Xia of your country is a generation of enlightened masters. In just twenty-three years, Xia Guo has been transformed from weak to weak. Become strong, the means are so brilliant, it's a pity that I don't have the chance to see it."

When Emperor Xia inherited Great Xia from Emperor Xiaowen, the strength of Great Xia was the second-to-last among the Seven Kingdoms, only slightly better than Yan State. It was jointly bullied by Zhao State and Qi State and occupied a lot of territory.

After Emperor Xia succeeded to the throne, he made great efforts to govern. In just a few years, his army became strong and his horse was strong.

Tian Boyuan said proudly: "Your Majesty is more than a generation of enlightened masters. If General Bai can see him, I am afraid that General Bai will not want to return to Qin!"

"Haha..." Bai Meng laughed loudly, and said: "No matter how good your country is, it is not your hometown after all, and our Bai family has been loyal and good for generations, and we are willing to die for Da Qin. Therefore, His Majesty Xia Huang and Lord Hou will definitely be disappointed."

Tian Boyuan nodded, and suddenly asked: "The loyalty of the Bai family is well known to the world, but isn't the general afraid of making great achievements?"

Bai Meng asked back: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that His Majesty the Emperor Xia will run out of birds and hide the slingshot?"

Tian Boyuan replied: "All the heroes in the world are here, so how can we talk about the end of birds?"

Bai Meng then said: "My Bai family has countless sons wrapped in horse leather. Loyalty is at ease in people's hearts. The merits of the Bai family are bestowed by His Majesty. His Majesty wants to take it back. So what is there to be afraid of?"

"Well said, please!" Tian Boyuan immediately cherished each other with Bai Meng, and they drank together.

At this time, Bai Meng asked: "The Zhao Kingdom has already been destroyed, I believe it will take a short time to recuperate, what do you think, Lord Hou?"

"That's my plan for His Majesty, but it depends on His Majesty Qin Huang. I heard that His Majesty Qin wants to unify China in his lifetime, so is Qin Huang willing to wait?" Tian Boyuan asked.

Emperor Qin is already in the age of obedience, how old is Emperor Xia, at this age, he will die if he dies, so can Emperor Qin stand up to his ambition?

Bai Meng smiled, pointed at the Qijiang River, and said with a smile: "Qijiang's barrier cannot be solved by those buildings and boats in the Qijiang camp. Hundreds of thousands of troops crossing the river are living targets, so even if Your Majesty asks me to Attack, I will resist."

Tian Boyuan nodded, yes, now it is not whether Qin Huang is willing to wait, but he has to wait!

At this time, Tian Boyuan smiled and said: "General Bai, since the east is impossible, and the south is blocked by mountains, Yan Kingdom cannot be conquered, but you can go north! If you go north, you can go straight to Yuan Kingdom. The vast grassland of Yuan Kingdom is a big piece of meat! Bai What does the general think?"

Among the Seven Kingdoms, the territory of the Yuan Kingdom is the most extensive, almost equivalent to two Great Xias. Moreover, the population of the Yuan Kingdom is only 40 to 50 million, and it is composed of countless small nomadic tribes.

What Tian Boyuan said hit the point.

Bai Meng secretly sighed, His Majesty's goal is too big, so he will not stop. As long as this winter is over, next spring will definitely go north to attack the Yuan Kingdom! The Yuan Kingdom is a nomadic people. It is inappropriate to deal with such a country's strong attack. It is most appropriate to use tactics to divide and dissolve. There are counselors around His Majesty who suggest this, but His Majesty thinks it is a waste of time. He wanted to use the most direct way to let the iron cavalry kill them directly and break through the Yuan Kingdom!

"Master Hou, I heard that your country has attacked Fengtian City of Qi State, why didn't you attack? Once Qi State is destroyed, your country's power will become the strongest in China!" Bai Meng asked.

Tian Boyuan smiled and said: "General Bai doesn't know that Qi State is experiencing a major drop in temperature recently, and the conflicts in Qi State are intensifying, and the food shortage is becoming prominent. Therefore, I don't want the soldiers of the Great Xia to brave the severe cold to attack and lose their troops. To Your Majesty In terms of capturing the territory of Qi State, although it is important, Daxia Erlang's life is also important. Qi Guoguo will follow Zhao State's footsteps, why rush for a while? General Bai should also advise His Majesty Qin Huang that it is easy to lose yourself in the hegemony of expanding the territory. Don't take too many steps."

It is common sense that the stride is too large and it is easy to mess up.

Bai Meng said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for reminding me, I will definitely speak up when I return to court."

"Is the teacher going back to the court? Isn't General Bai stationed here? Oh, I understand, His Majesty Qin Huang is still worried." Tian Boyuan said with a smile.

Bai Meng took half of the territory of Zhao State, but Qin Huang would not let him station here, but would replace it with other people. Conquering the world and governing the world cannot be the same person. After a long time, the old Zhao people here only recognize Baimeng, not Qin Huang.

On the other hand, Emperor Xia continued to allow Chang Shenghou to be stationed in the Fourteen States of Anxi, which showed his magnanimity and means.

Bai Meng was not embarrassed, and said: "This is what I asked to return to the capital. The person who will replace me is General Meng Yi. This person is braver and more capable than me. If we meet in battle, Lord Hou must be careful. "

Tian Boyuan had heard Meng Yi's name before, nodded his head and said: "Even though we are enemies, we can still be friends, each is his master."

Bai Meng deeply agreed, and respectfully said: "That's right! Today we drink together as friends, and I respect Lord Hou for a cup of tea."

Tian Boyuan returned the gift, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

The wind wrinkled the surface of the lake, causing layers of ripples. Suddenly, sporadic snowflakes fell, and it snowed.

Not long after, the snow gradually became heavier, like a goose feather.

Tian Boyuan and Bai Meng bid farewell and returned. When they landed, they looked at each other, and the white snow had already stained the sky.
