Chapter 213: A battle to determine the country planned by Ying Zhi!
The next day.
After breakfast, Qin Luoheng ordered some vegetables and went to Washington alone.
There is a lot of silence in Washington right now.
The news of Hua Fu's imprisonment has spread throughout the city. In the originally prosperous Hua Fu, there is only one warden in the family.
Hua Yu did not go to the prison.
Firstly, it was to avoid other people asking, and secondly, I wanted to serve Huafu more.
Hua Fu told him several things last night, not only related to his eldest brother who was exiled, but also himself. He would be exiled as an official soon.
He is now a prison warden, just an official.
Officials are at the level of county misfits.
According to Aweng, if he were to be exiled, he would at least be a county magistrate.
Although there is only one word difference between the county magistrate and the county magistrate, and they are both at the level of county mistress, in fact the differences between the two are very obvious.
Da Qin has clear regulations.
If the number of households in the jurisdiction is less than 10,000, the county magistrate can only be called the county magistrate, and the official rank is between 300 and 500 shi. If the number of households is more than 10,000, he can be called the county magistrate, and the corresponding official rank is
Then it jumps to six hundred to one thousand stone. This is only the difference in official rank, and does not include the difference in status.
In the Qin Dynasty, those with an official rank of six hundred stones and above were considered to be high-ranking officials.
That is, ‘the official and the king know’!
The county magistrate's annual accounting assessment is for the emperor's purpose, while the county magistrate can only hand it over to the governors of various places first, and then report it uniformly. The difference is huge, so it is the most effective and practical in Da Qin.
His achievement is actually to encourage people to have children.
As long as the number of households in the jurisdiction increases, the official rank and status of the chief official will be greatly improved.
In the past, Huafu had only handled the government affairs of the prison. Suddenly he learned that he was going to be the head of a county. He also felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. The higher the position, the heavier the work, and the more things he had to shoulder.
Huafu was at leisure.
He also took the initiative to give Huafu advice.
Huafu said sincerely:
"Your father and I have never been a county magistrate. We only served as a county captain for a period of time. Later, when we attacked Zhao, we went out with the army. I don't know much about the official affairs at the county level. Your official affairs mainly cover the township, li, and village.
The two levels mainly involve daily production."
“The most important function of an official stingy man is to ‘set up official positions’!”
"But you should know very well that the imperial court is not allowed to appoint the assistants and officials of the original government to the new government, so you are actually going alone."
"The responsibilities of the county magistrate also include judicial and military matters."
"But you are not in charge of them. The county magistrate is responsible for judicial work, and the county committee is responsible for military work. They need to report their daily work to you. This is similar to the daily work of the warden. You should be familiar with it."
"besides......"
Hua Fu explained it very carefully.
Hua Yu had too little experience in handling government affairs. He was still a little worried about Hua Yu, especially worried that Hua Yu would exceed his duties, so he emphasized some things again and again.
When Hua Fu had finished speaking, his official Suo came and said that Qin Luoheng was here.
Hua Fu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the Tenth Young Master is here to ask about his dismissal from office. Go and invite the Tenth Young Master in."
The father and son went to the hall.
soon.
Qin Luoheng also arrived in the hall.
When he saw Hua Yu, he was stunned. In his impression, Hua Yu was very conscientious in his duties. He did not go to the prison this time, which surprised him.
When Hua Yu saw this, he smiled and said, "Aweng was recently dismissed from office. The warden felt that the rumors were too much, so he asked me to stay at home for a few days. Since the warden has been fine lately, I agreed."
Qin Luoheng nodded slightly and said:
"As it should be."
"Why is Yushi Hua dismissed from office?"
"Boy, are you confused?"
"Hua Yushi is relatively young and has been handling government affairs for a while. I have never heard of any mistakes in the handling. Why was he dismissed from office?"
Hua Fu said with a smile: "I am not dismissed from office. In fact, I am resigning on my own initiative. The reason is actually nothing. I just made a deal with His Majesty, using my official position in exchange for the promotion of my eldest son and Hua Yu.
.”
"Besides."
"It is true that I am not much older than Li Si and others, but I am different from them. They sit in the center all year round and have never been to the battlefield. In my early years, I fought on the battlefield, and my body has more or less hidden diseases. It would be better to retire early to recuperate.
Good thing."
"Master Qin, don't worry too much about me."
Hear the words.
Qin Luoheng also felt relieved.
He thought that Hua Fu had done something wrong and was dismissed by the court, but since Hua Fu said that he resigned on his own initiative, he would be fine.
He hesitated.
Asked again:
"How dare you, boy."
"Yesterday, a good friend of mine sent a letter from Wu County. He said that the Baiyue tribe may be invading the border. I wonder if the court has heard about it so that it can respond as soon as possible to prevent the Baiyue tribe from succeeding."
Hua Fu's face remained as usual.
He said in a deep voice:
"The imperial court has known about this for a long time."
"After the last expedition to Baiyue, the Baiyue tribe has not stopped harassing the border. From time to time, Yue people enter the territory, burn, kill and loot. However, the environment in Lingnan is very harsh, and the Yue people are also very cunning, so they are slightly outnumbered.
, and quickly fled into the mountains and forests, so they fought endlessly."
"The imperial court and Baiyue have long been at odds with each other."
"The last time we conquered Baiyue, the army killed the Yue leader Yi Xusong. However, the army was not familiar with the terrain of Lingnan and was unable to pursue the victory. In addition, the weather there was hot and the roads were not smooth, making it difficult to transport food and grass.
Difficulties caused hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die in Lingnan."
"but."
"After the truce, the imperial court has made arrangements. Now that the Ling Canal has been built, the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River have been connected, there will be no problem in supplying food and grass to the army. If the Baiyue tribe dares to harass the border on a large scale, they will all be gone and never return!
"
Speaking of Baiyue.
Hua Fu is clearly angry.
Since the end of the first battle against Chu, Qin has basically not encountered much resistance. As a result, when it conquered a small Baiyue, it suffered heavy losses, not only hundreds of thousands of casualties, but also many generals were lost.
This was completely unacceptable to Da Qin.
In the past, Baiyue submitted to Chu, and when Da Qin destroyed Chu, Baiyue naturally surrendered to Da Qin. As a result, Baiyue not only failed to surrender, but instead caused trouble again and again. In the eighty-nine years after the destruction of Chu, the Baiyue tribe no longer harassed southern Xinjiang.
Stopped.
Nearly ten thousand Qin people were killed and injured.
These are only the casualties in southern Xinjiang and Guizhou.
If the casualties from the Southern Expedition are included, there is already a blood feud between the two.
Qin Luoheng frowned.
He naturally knew the blood hatred between Qin and Baiyue.
It's just that the Lingnan side is not as easy to conquer as Huafu said. Last time, it was indeed because the Baiyue tribe cut off the army's food and fodder, which led to the failure of the attack. However, the Baiyue soldiers only had 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, while the Qin Dynasty launched an army of 500,000.
Even though most of them are auxiliary troops transporting grain and grass.
But it’s also a case of more and less.
Even Da Qin returned home in vain.
It simply doesn't make sense to attribute all problems to food and grass.
Huafu still underestimates the enemy.
I am afraid that not only Hua Fu in the DPRK thinks this way, but also other generals.
Qin Luoheng said:
"Hua Yushi, Baiyue is not that easy to fight."
"In the last southern expedition, the army did cripple the Baiyue Allied Forces and killed countless Baiyue Allied Forces. Therefore, after the Qin Dynasty retreated, the Baiyue tribe could not continue to attack and could only form a confrontation with the Qin Dynasty in southern Xinjiang, and a confrontation would
It’s several years.”
"Just defeating Baiyue is not the same as occupying Baiyue."
"To win, you only need to defeat the Baiyue Allied Forces, but if you want to occupy it, you have to fight against the sky, the earth, and people. The imperial court is obviously not prepared accordingly. If it sends troops again, I'm afraid the losses will be huge.
It will be small.”
Hua Fu shook his head.
He said in a deep voice:
"Master Qin doesn't know."
"The Baiyue tribe can muster less than ten thousand soldiers. When the Qin army arrives, it will definitely destroy Gu Lashi and suppress everything. You are a little too worried."
"The main reason why the army failed last time was because it went too deep and failed to find a suitable rear in Lingnan. But this time the imperial court is fully prepared. If the imperial court is ready to go out, it will definitely win in one battle and completely conquer the land of Baiyue."
Hua Fu's eyes are firm.
Immediately, Hua Fu also said: "Don't worry, the court will not mobilize troops in the short term. Firstly, it will take time to dispatch supplies and secondly to recruit soldiers."
"Besides."
"It is common for soldiers from Baiyue to harass the border areas."
"The imperial court is not completely sure and will not take action easily."
"If Your Majesty takes action, it will be thunderous. Not to mention that the leader of Baiyue is dead, how can the army be invincible?"
"You actually underestimate His Majesty."
"The reason why the imperial court slowed down the attack was not because it was unable, but because it was gathering momentum. Otherwise, a loose tribe in Baiyue could have been at odds with the imperial court for so long? The reason why Great Qin stopped last time was because it could not control the entire territory of Baiyue.
effective control.”
"Next time we go on an expedition."
“It’s time for Baiyue to be removed from the list!”
"Master Qin, you know very little about military affairs."
"You should know that Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 to the Northern Expedition, but do you know that the Huns now are no longer the same as when they were confronting Zhao and Yan. The Huns now have annexed the surrounding Hu forces and have become the dominant force on the grassland.
"
"Now the Huns have captured the Yinshan grassland that was previously controlled by Zhao. Their mobile plundering capabilities have extended to the south of the river. Their plundering scope has included Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, Dai County, and Shanggu County.
, Yuyang County, etc.”
"Although Great Qin has prefectures and county offices in these places, it has always been in a state of war, and the imperial court has never achieved actual control over the entire territory. In the past, the reason why His Majesty did not move was because he wanted to go up to the prefecture and become the governor of the North.
Rely on and secretly accumulate strength to lure the enemy deeper."
"The Huns' flying cavalry are as powerful as clouds on the grassland. If they cannot annihilate their main force in one fell swoop, they will have little effect. If they fight piecemeal or defeat them, they will only be trapped in a long tug of war. If they attack proactively, it will be difficult to capture their main force."
"The imperial court has actually been waiting."
"And now Touman Chanyu is heading south with an overwhelming army."
Looking at Hua Fu's eyes flashing with fighting spirit, Qin Luoheng understood immediately.
Qin's 300,000 troops marched north, and 200,000 troops guarded the southern border. The two armies were thousands of miles apart, and there was almost no possibility of contact. As long as the military situation of one side changed, huge flaws and weaknesses would be revealed in the world of Qin.
And this was actually revealed by Da Qin on purpose.
In order to lure the Xiongnu to go south, the imperial court knew for a long time that the Baiyue tribe would take advantage of the situation. From the beginning to the end, the Qin Dynasty never thought of trying to interfere with the Xiongnu or Baiyue. The imperial court only wanted to complete its achievements in one battle and completely destroy the Xiongnu through one battle.
, Baiyue tribe, thus achieving stability in the northern and southern frontiers.
The so-called tug-of-war between the north and the south for several years was actually intentional by Da Qin.
In order to lure the enemy deeper, the news of the army heading north was probably revealed to the Baiyue tribe by the imperial court, hoping that they would take action after hearing the news, thereby giving the army a chance to annihilate it in one fell swoop, achieve a decisive battle, and completely resolve the border troubles.
worry.
It seems that the Xiongnu went south.
In fact, it was a battle planned by the First Emperor to determine the country!
