The opening chapter of the General History of Eurasia: "The devil comes from the east, bringing trembling terror and poisoning the entire world!"
The second volume of General History of Eurasia begins: "The conquerors came from the east, and they swept across with bloody slaughter!"
The third volume of General History of Eurasia begins: "His Majesty the Great First Emperor and the majestic General Qin Feng, led by their brave, loyal, and kind-hearted young men, spread light to Europe!"
........
Since His Majesty the First Emperor has decided to go on a personal expedition, the battle plan given by the cabinet will naturally be overturned.
The army will be recruited again. It will still be 280,000 troops, but it will be dominated by the most elite Guanzhong disciples.
The land of Yanzhao, the land of Qilu, and the land of Huaichu were supplemented by capable soldiers and horses.
This 280,000-strong army will be armed to the teeth and become a presence that scares the world.
The generals are still Han Xin, Meng Tian, Zhang Han and Peng Yue, each leading an army of 50,000 as generals.
His Majesty the First Emperor will lead the Prime Minister Qin Feng and an 80,000-strong army to guard the central army.
A series of changes will naturally require delays.
Since His Majesty the First Emperor wanted to keep fighting west, Qin Feng had to consider the importance of the railway.
If the old man wants to go directly to Europe, there is really no other way besides burning, killing, looting and replenishing supplies along the way.
If the construction of railways starts at the same time, the supply capacity will be greatly enhanced.
In half a year, steam engines and trains were improved again. With Qin Feng's assistance, although there was not much progress in basic science, the speed of the trains was already considerable.
What is lacking now is enough manpower!
“The baby boom is still going on, and the population of Daqin has hit a new high this year, with an additional 5,325,711 people.
Moreover, there are more than 730,000 people who have been persuaded to return from the mountains and wilderness."
A rare smile of relief appeared in Xiao He's tired, bloodshot eyes.
Not only him, but also Chen Ping, who was always taciturn, and Zhang Liang, who was not very public, were laughing from ear to ear.
The second prime minister, Ying Ziying, almost looked up to the sky and laughed.
The explosion of population is not only a measure of national strength.
It also shows that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and a prosperous age is coming!
Although he is paddling in the cabinet, he looks like a mascot.
But future generations don't know that. They will only know that he is the deputy minister of the cabinet! He is one of the main figures who brought great order to the world!
"Congratulations! You have left your name forever!"
"We rejoice together!"
The four of them bowed and congratulated each other.
But after the happiness passed, Xiao He became a little worried again.
He sat on the chair, stretched out his hand to rub his temples, and said a little tiredly:
"Da Qin's foundation is still a bit weak. In just a few years, these people cannot be transformed into a labor force.
The government even subsidizes these children to make their lives better." Juquge
Chen Ping thought for a while and said tentatively:
"All the barbarians in the north have been captured, and there are only about two to three million.
If that doesn't work, can we follow in the footsteps of Mao Dun, Liu Bang, and Yu Ji and go to America to catch slaves?
It is said that there are tens of millions of indigenous savages there."
Zhang Liang shook his head and said:
"Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer, it is still too far away.
Zhang Han's Baiyue Land is also difficult to capture. There are dense forests everywhere. The local savages are like monkeys. They can't be found when they get in. They even blow poisonous arrows from time to time to make sneak attacks.
After testing several times, Zhang Han stopped heading south.
If the Yue people suffer too much loss, I'm afraid Baiyue Granary will not be stable."
Xiao He exhaled a long breath and muttered:
"I heard that there was a Mauryan Dynasty in the southwest of Bashu. It was a slave country with tens of millions of slaves.
Moreover, Buddhism is prevalent there, and everyone looks forward to the afterlife and feels that the suffering they endure now is for the sake of happiness in the next life."
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but laugh. He waved his hands and said:
"Does anyone believe this stuff? It's hard for me to live a lifetime. If I don't enjoy happiness, I just have to endure hardships?
This thing is the ruler’s idea to enslave the people, so no one resists?”
Xiao He helplessly spread his hands and said:
"The Prime Minister said that everyone there believed it, so no one resisted at all.
The slave over there is so obedient that even if you kill his relatives in front of him, he will be happy and feel that his relatives are enjoying happiness."
Ying Ziying couldn't help but take a deep breath, touched the goose bumps on her arms, and said:
"It's a little scary. If that's the case, wouldn't the high-ranking officials do whatever they want? The common people will never get ahead?
The head of Guizhou will always be the head of Guizhou, and a slave will always be a slave?"
However, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
For Da Qin, this is the best place to obtain slaves!
Especially for such an obedient slave, let alone building a railway, even if he goes to build a plank road in Bashu, he won't complain, right?
Zhang Liang immediately decided:
"Leave this matter to me. How can I go there?"
Xiao He shook his head and said:
"Don't be anxious. We need to open up the Western Region first before we can bypass the plateau and go to the Mauryan Dynasty through the Khyber Pass."
Zhang Liang nodded and sat down, but he still couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
Such a rich, huge, yet weak country is simply a great place to make achievements!
Zhang Liang is different from Chen Ping and Xiao He. Both of them only want to govern the Qin Dynasty well and become the prime minister and assistant.
But because Zhang Liang was forced to run around by Qin Feng in his early years, his temper was a bit wild.
His current character is a bit like Kuai Che who is afraid of chaos in the world. The only difference is that he still has reason to speak of.
So, if you can bring a huge empire like the Maurya Dynasty, with tens of millions of people, endless wealth, fertile plains, and wide rivers under the rule of Qin, then you can bring it under your control.
What a wonderful thing it would be to make it a raw material supplier for Da Qin!
At that time, there will be a continuous supply of slaves, food, and resources to Da Qin!
Tens of millions of people fully support the Qin Dynasty! What a glorious situation that would be!
Qin Feng didn't know that Zhang Liang's thoughts at this time were actually the same as those of the Empire on which the sun never sets.
With the ignorant peoples of the world supporting Great Britain, they managed to build a glorious empire.
But now, it is obvious that Great Qin is going to take the first step.
"By the way, where is the Prime Minister? What have you been busy with recently?"
Xiao He thought for a while and replied:
"Oh, the Prime Minister said that he went to greet Yingbo's fleet and wanted to personally welcome the guests from the island."
Zhang Liang pouted and said:
"Welcome guests? Are you going to continue to fool Muchuan Kuzi and trick more slaves into coming?
However, although the people there are generally short and thin, they are resistant.
And even if you are exhausted, you will be exhausted and you won’t feel bad.”
