Chapter 445
As soon as we arrived in Ying Gao's hall, before Ying Gao could ask, everyone wanted to speak. Finally, after looking at each other, Meng Yi, the highest-ranking Meng Yi said first. After Meng Yi finished speaking, several people nodded repeatedly. Obviously, what Meng Yi said was exactly what they thought.
Everything was possible before, and there was only a little possibility, but this time it would be different with Wu Sheng's words.
Several years ago, Xu Fu had joined the people of the Mauryan Dynasty. Not to mention whether Xu Fu really took Daqin's property to his territory for the second time, he must have known about the existence of Daqin.
In other words, people have to prepare for war for several years than you, so maybe you are still working hard to build warships, and their warships and navy have already marched to your place.
"Since that's the case, how should I be prepared for my Daqin?"
Ying Gao's expression didn't seem so anxious. He sat in his position calmly, and then signaled that all four of them would sit down before asking slowly.
The ones who have the most say in the precautions are naturally Meng Yi and Han Xin, because the enemy must have come from the sea, but the tricky one is because Xu Fu may have provided them with a chart, so it is very likely that they will not land from the south of Nanhai County, which is closest to the distance, and may also go around to the place where Xu Fu set out before and land from the sea east of the Qin Dynasty. Once such a situation occurs, it will definitely be something that no one can imagine.
So Meng Yi and Han Xin said that they were not in a hurry to answer this question, because the things involved were too wide. Four or five counties were possible at once. It was also possible that they would not land in the seas of your Daqin at all, but landed from the territory of the Nanyue people who had been suppressed by Fusu to the deserted land of Guilin and Xiangjun south of Xiangjun, and then attacked through Xiangjun, which was not very tightly defended by the Qin Dynasty.
It is naturally very difficult to defend such an enemy with total uncertainty.
After a long time, Meng Yi sighed slightly and spoke.
"Your Majesty, only with the current plan, I, Daqin, may not be able to recruit a large number of naval troops. Instead, we should recruit infantry soldiers widely, and then stockpile all the places where the so-called Mauryan Dynasty's Great Qin might have arrived, so that the Qin Dynasty can be absolutely safe!"
Obviously, this was what Meng Yi said when he had no choice. Although the method was a little stupid, what Meng Yi wanted was stability. He wanted to make the territory of the Qin Dynasty stable and not be annexed by some alien races. As for other things, he didn't think so much about it.
"Has the Taiwei ever calculated that if the Mauryan Dynasty had a household registration of more than 20 million, how many soldiers could they have to fight, and at most how many warships could they have? Even if they set out to capture our Daqin, how many troops would they have dispatched?"
Ying Gao's series of questions were suddenly thrown to Meng Yi, which made Meng Yi a little difficult to answer for a while. In the end, he could only say to Ying Gao: "Although I don't know how many enemy troops are, if I, Daqin, are prepared so well, I will definitely be prepared for any trouble!"
"Be prepared and prepared, but if so, my Qin Dynasty missed the excellent opportunity to develop a naval army. Even if there were a group of people from the Mauryan Dynasty, my Qin Dynasty could only be beaten passively. After this wave of attack, they would send the next wave of stronger soldiers. When will it be exhausted after such a cycle? As the emperor of my Qin Dynasty, I am not to keep the Qin Dynasty in a passive situation forever, but to make the Qin Dynasty's flag search the vast land of the Shenzhou! How can a mere Mauryan Dynasty let my Qin Dynasty give up on the choke?"
Ying Gao's words were said in a loud and clear way. Although Meng Yi was refuted by Ying Gao, he really didn't feel embarrassed.
He just felt that Ying Gao at this time might be the Ying Gao that Daqin really needed, and he, like the First Emperor, might sooner or later be submerged in the dust of history.
"The emperor is naturally ambition, but once the Taiwei's concern is formed into facts, will the people of our Great Qin suffer heavy losses?"
Xiao He, who had not spoken much, couldn't help but defend Meng Yi slightly at this time.
He naturally knew that Meng Yi's difficulty was as good as his loyalty and emotion to the Qin Dynasty. At the same time, Xiao He also wanted to know what strategy Ying Gao could use to deal with it. After all, this was not something that could have been considered as nothing had happened.
"Now the establishment of the Qin army soldiers in each county has at least 20,000 permanent defenders, and some of the counties located on the border have exceeded 30,000. How can these soldiers be abandoned? The next thing that Daqin needs to do is to let each county train the defenders in its own county, and the counties located on the coast or on the border, and to let the defenders closely guard the important transportation routes and the sea areas in which warships can log in. If these cannot be done well, what is the use of this county magistrate?"
Ying Gao's words obviously expressed his meaning, that is, you four can only know about this matter today, but I will definitely not make any changes to the military power of the Qin Dynasty. If you want to guard your own counties, you can only follow the standard soldiers in every county now. The rest of the Xianyang Palace will not provide any support.
"Your Majesty, since this is the case, it is better for me to divide the troops with Zhang Han, Sima Xin and other generals tomorrow to check the combat effectiveness and guarding conditions of the garrisons of each county. If it is not satisfactory, I will immediately instruct the county magistrate to rectify it. If the county magistrate fails to act, directly select qualified generals from the Qin army to make up for it. It is necessary to make every garrison in every army do its best within a few months! I wonder what the garrison thinks?"
This time, what Ying Gao continued to say was Han Xin. If you want to say that you can best understand what Ying Gao means, Han Xin must be Han Xin. He naturally knew that Ying Gao would not give up on the development of any naval army, nor would he stagnate or slow down the development of the naval army because of any so-called threats.
That is Ying Gao's lifeblood, which is the army that Ying Gao mainly wants to rely on in the future. Ying Gao's words wanted to let the Qin general flag search the land of China. Others didn't care what it meant, but Han Xin knew it.
Therefore, in order to support Ying Gao's ambition with all his strength, Han Xin could only run more errands by himself, and then put some infamous on his back, and quickly present what Ying Gao wanted on the land of Daqin.
"It's so good, just do what you said, bring with you dozens of people who are good at leading troops carefully selected from the army. Once you find out which county lieutenant is not able to complete what I ask for, change it immediately!"
With Ying Gao's decision, the response to this matter is undoubtedly like this. Everyone summarized a sentence, which is to respond to changes with the same stability.
Although they didn't know if the Qin Dynasty had that kind of strength, judging from Ying Gao's confident expression, they were not worried that the so-called Mauryan Dynasty would attack the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
As Ying Gao said, their empire of 20 million people could build many warships. Even if they brought one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were not afraid at all, unless they came with fifty or six hundred thousand, they could really pose a fatal threat to the Qin Dynasty.
But according to the population of the Mauryan Dynasty, it would be nice to have a total of 500,000 soldiers, so no matter what, it was right for Daqin to be not afraid of him.
After discussing this night, after Han Xin applied to supervise the defense, even if it was over, everyone returned to their mansion, and they thought about it more and more wrong. Since Ying Gao was not afraid of the attack from the Mauryan Dynasty, why did he insist on letting them know about this?
Of course they didn't know that although Ying Gao didn't know as thoroughly as his own Daqin in his previous life, he still knew it in general.
He knew that at this time the Mauryan Dynasty had reached its sixth generation king, named Sharishuga, and was an absolute tyrant. If he really wanted to invade the Qin Dynasty, he would have sent troops long ago. Now at least five or six years have passed since Xu Fu's incident, and the possibility of coming should be unlikely.
And not only that, since the Mauryan Dynasty reached its peak, the third king Ashoka, actually this little girl has been going downhill for decades.
According to Ying Gao's calculations, if their strength is really calculated, it may be better to achieve the high unity of Daqin. Apart from the fact that there may be thousands of elephants in their army, there is nothing strange.
The next day, Han Xin, Zhang Han, Sima Xin and others prepared for half a day, and as Han Xin and Ying Gao suggested before, they set out. Sima Xin went to the land of the Three Jins and some other counties located in the northeast of the Qin Dynasty, and Zhang Han went to the county in the central and eastern areas.
Han Xin, under the special instruction of Ying Gao, went to several counties south of Xianyang, including Bashu, Qianzhong, Yelang, Guilin, Xiangjun and Nanhai.
It can be said that the previous defenses in these places must be insufficient, and before setting off, Ying Gao called Han Xin alone to himself, and didn't know what he told him in his ears. In short, when Han Xin set off, there was a different brilliance in his eyes. Obviously, his mission this time was not simple.
When we set off at Han Xin, it had been several months since Hu Hai was sent to Xiang County by Ying Gao.
In the past few months, Hu Hai can be said to have become an official that he had never thought about before, and he managed a whole county. However, these few months are also the most unbearable months he has lived in these twenty years.
When he arrived in Xiang County, it was a huge difference from what he imagined. He originally thought that although the county seat of Xiang County was located in Linchen County, it must be less than that of the Qin Dynasty, but why should it be similar?
But when he arrived at the so-called Linchen County, Hu Hai had nothing else except seeing low adobe houses like primitive tribes, countless dense forests and barren land.
How could he know how to do such a situation? At that time, he had a heart of dying. If it weren't for his heart that such a place would be more beneficial to his freedom, Hu Hai would really not be able to stay in such a place for a day.
But soon, he welcomed a noble man. Less than ten days after arriving in Xiang County, a man came to the mansion he had just established for himself and Qi Yi. He claimed that he was the county magistrate of Guilin County, which was close to him. He heard that Hu Hai, the prince of the Qin Dynasty, came to Xiang County, and then came to visit him.
Of course, this person was Liu Wei, the county magistrate of Guilin County. Hu Hai was not surprised by Liu Wei, who looked pleased. After all, he was the son of the First Emperor. The younger brother of the current emperor Ying Gao was the first prince sent by Ying Gao to manage a whole county except Fusu. It is inevitable that someone would curry favor with him.
Liu Wei's arrival this time was not just about flattering him. He helped Hu Hai talk to Hu Hai about his idea of how to plan Guilin County, which made Hu Hai, who had no experience in managing any county, understand a lot.
This improved the development progress of Linchen County and other counties in Xiang County a lot at that time. When I waited for two days to say goodbye to Hu Hai, Hu Hai was a little reluctant to let go of this big brother who looked smiling at all times.
It was less than two months since Hu Hai arrived in Xiang County, and even when he had just learned some of the fur of a county, one day after he returned to the mansion with his tired body, Qi Yi mysteriously told Hu Hai that the mysterious man's letter had arrived again.
"Sure enough... since they have contacted us, they will not let go easily. In addition, this time the Lord sent me only one of my young masters out. He must have wanted to achieve something in his heart through me..."
Hu Hai looked at the letter and explained to his wife. When he arrived at this free world, Hu Hai was obviously more confident in dealing with things. Qi Yi had already felt this change deeply.
"How is the young master going to respond?"
"No need to respond. Since he said that he had reached the southern border of Nanyue, he would naturally try his best to develop his own power. However, if his power cannot reach the eyes of this young master, I will not cooperate with him. This man is a wolfish ambition and should be very cautious in contacting him..."
In this way, after secretly remembering the content of the letter, Hu Hai directly burned it, and then returned to the image of a county magistrate who worked diligently to develop a county that could be renovated and worked very hard on the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
