Chapter 457: What the people want is nothing more than money, food and land...
A few days later.
The court renegotiated the war in the South China Sea.
Even though Yao Jia and others strongly opposed it, under the insistence of the First Emperor, the South China Sea strategy was finally reset.
Zhang Han is the chief general and Li Xin is the deputy general.
Yang Wengzi and other 200,000 troops stationed in the South China Sea were all sent to Zhang Han for deployment. In addition, he recruited 150,000 Chu people and Baiyue people from the Chu region, and 50,000 Qin people from Guanzhong, for a total of 400,000 troops. The newly conquered army
It will start in March.
Outside the palace.
Many officials are congratulating Zhang Han.
Zhang Han was a little confused.
In fact, he had never thought before that the conquest of the South China Sea would fall on him, and he had not been the guard general of Lishan for a long time. Logically speaking, there were many generals in the court, so why would it be his turn?
result......
It was beyond everyone's expectation.
After the tenth son's fierce remarks, Nanhai's strategy finally changed drastically.
And he became the final winner.
Recalling the hundreds of officials in the court who were arguing over the South China Sea, Zhang Han was still a little confused. Everything was full of untruth.
a long time.
A breeze blew by.
Zhang Han suddenly woke up.
But there was no one around him.
Zhang Han took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and walked out of the palace.
However, before taking a few steps, a figure appeared in front of him.
Seeing who was coming, Zhang Han quickly saluted.
said:
"Zhang Han meets the Tenth Young Master."
Qin Luoheng said with a smile: "Congratulations to General Zhang. There is a turmoil in the South China Sea right now, and General Zhang is here to calm it down. I believe that the South China Sea will be peaceful in one battle, and the people in the South China Sea will be able to completely get rid of the pain of the war."
"but......"
"General Zhang, I also have something else to tell you."
"Young Master, please speak." Zhang Han's expression condensed slightly. From the moment he saw Qin Luoheng, he knew that the Tenth Young Master wanted to discuss something with him. After all, he had received such a great benefit for nothing, how could he not say anything?
?
Qin Luoheng said calmly:
"General Zhang Han must have also heard that the change in the South China Sea strategy was almost caused by me alone, but this is not the case. General Zhang Han was not present at the last court meeting, so he did not know the situation at that time. There were not many people in the court.
People want to change. The reason why. General Zhang Han has been in the court for so long. I am afraid he knows the reason better than me."
"I won't say more about this."
Zhang Han's forehead.
Of course he knows the ropes.
The war in the South China Sea is a huge fame and fortune fair, especially after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, there are very few places where military merit can be achieved. The South China Sea is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment, so many officials want a piece of the pie. Although he is quite popular with His Majesty
However, after Aweng Zhangmin died of illness, Zhang's role in the court became increasingly declining, which did not help his career much.
even......
The reason why he was able to serve as the guard of Lishan was because he volunteered and took the initiative.
At that time, he was serving in the Shaofu. At that time, a rebellion broke out in Lishan, namely the Qianbu Rebellion. The entire Lishan became a turbulent place. A little carelessness could cause a major riot, involving hundreds of thousands of people.
There was a riot in the number of people, so there were not many officials in the court who wanted to go. But at this time, he took the initiative to ask for help, and then he became the guard general of Lishan.
And he lived up to expectations, not only calming down the turmoil in Lishan, but also comforting the prisoners in Lishan.
Since then.
Only then did he finally secure his position as the guard general of Lishan.
If there were no big changes, he would probably have to stay as the Lishan Guard General for a few years, and then be promoted to the imperial court smoothly. However, with the changes in the South China Sea strategy, he suddenly changed from the Lishan Guard General to the leader of 400,000 troops.
Commander.
The difference is not insignificant.
Zhang Han said:
"Sir, please speak."
Qin Luoheng smiled and said relaxedly: "You don't have to be so nervous. I am not asking you to do anything illegal, but I may ask you to make some changes. You should have noticed it during the meeting. Most of the Guanzhong clan did not say anything today.
, and there is naturally a reason for this.”
"The reason is that after the meeting that day, I promised them that I would allow their children from the clan to join the army, and at the same time, I would give them certain preferential treatment."
"That is to say, all of them will be arranged as corps commanders, even commanders."
"I had discussed this matter with you, but I didn't think twice about it at the time, so I agreed directly."
"I'm really ashamed."
Hear the words.
Zhang Han smiled and said:
"Young master, you are serious."
"The children of Guanzhong are already brave and good at fighting, and have extremely high qualities. It is most normal for them to lead the troops and train them. Even if the young master does not agree, I will definitely appoint him in this way."
"Young Master is really worried too much."
"If you say that, I feel relieved." Qin Luoheng nodded, and then said: "During the court meeting, my father also said that he would set up the post of military commander in the army to unite the morale of the army, educate the soldiers, and then
If it were normal for the soldiers to unite as one, I wouldn't actually be worried, but since Kuai Che is the person I recommend, I can't help but feel a little uneasy."
"If Kuai Che speaks rudely, shakes the morale of the army, or instigates trouble, I dare to ask General Zhang Han to deal with him directly in accordance with military orders without any mercy."
Qin Luoheng looked extremely determined.
See the situation.
Zhang Han said in a deep voice:
"Young master, you can rest assured."
"If he really violates military orders, I will deal with him according to military law."
"It should be so." Qin Luoheng said.
Qin Luoheng looked at Zhang Han and said: "The environment in Lingnan is difficult, the weather is hot, and there are many miasma in the place. I suggest that after General Zhang Han goes to Lingnan, he should not rush into troops, but dredge the water first, and remember not to drink raw materials.
water, but consume hot water, at least wait until the water boils.”
Hear the words.
Zhang Han frowned.
Puzzled:
"May I ask the Tenth Young Master, why is this?"
Qin Luoheng said in a condensed voice:
"Diseases enter through the mouth."
"Lingnan plague, malaria breaks out from time to time, and the local miasma is pervasive. Although I have never been to Lingnan, I have heard some people introduce it. If I am not wrong, a large part of the reason for the heavy losses last time was that the soldiers drank
I don't know the specific poison in the water, but I know that once the water is heated to high temperature, it can achieve disinfection."
"There are many dense trees in the Lingnan Mountains, so there is no shortage of firewood. However, the land of Lingnan is rainy and hot, and firewood is not flammable. It is up to General Zhang Han to solve this problem."
Zhang Han cupped his hands and said:
"Zhang Han has taken note of the young master's suggestion."
"Strict order for the whole army."
"Never make the same mistake again."
Qin Luoheng nodded.
He said sadly:
"With General Zhang Han's words, I feel relieved."
"Da Qin suffered too many losses in Lingnan."
"If we can save more lives, we should do our best."
"General Zhang Han traveled all night and may be a little tired, so I won't disturb General Zhang Han."
"General Zhang Han, farewell."
"Farewell to the tenth young master." Zhang Han bowed to see him off.
When Qin Luoheng walked away, Zhang Han slowly straightened up, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
He actually heard Zhang Xi talk about the Tenth Young Master.
But he has always been unwilling to get involved, but this time the kindness he received was too heavy, and he couldn't help but feel a heavy weight on his shoulders.
Zhang Han sighed softly:
"Now the third brother is serving in the Secretary's Office."
"And I have inherited such a great kindness, I'm afraid it's impossible to escape from it."
"I don't know whether this is good or bad."
Zhang Han shook his head.
Stepped out of the imperial city.
But Zhang Han also knew in his heart that he could not refuse this temptation.
He is the commander-in-chief of an army and leads an army of 400,000.
Moreover, the Yue people who are advancing are already out of control. This battle will not be defeated no matter what. As long as there are no too many casualties, this battle will be enough for him to be promoted to the position of Jiuqing.
How could he resist such a huge temptation?
Even though he knew it was fishing bait, he still couldn't help but take the bait.
And what can be done?
...
After leaving the imperial city,
Qin Luoheng went straight to the official office.
Inside the official office, Kuai Che had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Qin Luoheng return, Kuai Che took the initiative to greet him.
Qin Luoheng didn't try to be secretive or tease him for fun, he nodded directly.
smiled and said:
"Kuaiche, you have lived up to your expectations this time."
"My father agrees to appoint you as Army Sima, responsible for the education and ideological unification of the army. When the army is assembled, you can directly join the army."
Hear the words.
Kuai Che looked happy.
He quickly said:
"Thank you for the recommendation, sir."
"I will live up to the expectations of the young master, unite the people from all over the country, and unite as one to pacify southern Xinjiang as soon as possible."
Qin Luoheng nodded.
He said in a deep voice:
"The unity of thought and will in the military is no small matter."
"I have certain requirements for this."
"Sir, please speak." Kuai Che stroked his beard slightly, not surprised by this.
Qin Luoheng said:
"What I ask of the soldiers of Great Qin is to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic."
"This is the foundation and the bottom line."
"This is the key point for you to enter the military this time."
"The soldiers recruited this time come from all over the world, and many of them have no good impressions of the Qin Dynasty, and are even full of resistance and dissatisfaction. It has never been easy to integrate these people, and it is even more difficult to make these people loyal to the emperor and patriotic. But some things, after all,
It’s made by doing it, how can it be possible to succeed if you don’t even try?”
"Maybe it will fail this time, and it will fail next time."
"But I believe that one day I will succeed."
"And with the first success, there will be a second, third, and even continued success."
"but."
"I don't have high demands on you this time."
"As long as we can integrate the soldiers so that they can respond to the outside world in unison, it will be a success."
"Besides, you must not arouse the resentment of the military generals."
"The post of Army Sima is enough to influence the future innovation of the army. There must be no problems. However, Yao Jia is very hostile to your service in the Qin Dynasty and may hinder you, but you must pay attention to one or two things."

Qin Luoheng reminded him a few words.
Kuai Che's eyes turned cold.
He snorted coldly:
"Don't worry, sir."
"I have long been familiar with Yao Jia's schemes and schemes, and I will not let him affect the young master's decision-making."
"I have already thought about the guiding ideology for entering the military this time."
"It's about protecting our country!"
"Of course, this is too elegant, and they may not be able to accept it, but they will definitely be very interested in killing enemies in battle, receiving titles and rewards. What the people at the bottom want has always been simple and simple."
"It's nothing more than money, food, land, and women."
"And all of these can only be achieved by receiving titles and rewards. Especially now that the land annexation in the Chu region is extremely bad, most of the people at the bottom are miserable. If they can receive titles and land, these people may explode with amazing fighting power."
