Chapter 829 As a king, you must not surrender until the mountains and rivers are exhausted!
Historically, the Han Dynasty annexed Qiongdu and made Qiongdu the Yuexi County.
In Ying Gao's view, there is no problem in establishing a county in the Qiongdu area, and it is no smaller than the current counties in the Qin Dynasty.
Its biggest flaw is not its size, but its population.
The population of Qiongdu was not large to begin with. In addition, Wang Li massacred the city and killed most of the population in Qiongdu. At this time, the population of Qiongdu decreased by more than 30%.
Therefore, the existing semi-mature system of counties and counties in Qin Dynasty is simply not enough to govern Qiongdu.
Moreover, Da Qin currently lacks mature officials. For the transformation of Qin in these areas, ministers with good political skills are needed to complete it. Those who have just stepped out of various university palaces, or are the latest to become Qin officials among hundreds of schools of thought, are simply not enough.
to accomplish this important task.
Therefore, Ying Gao's idea was to abandon the existing county system and implement a state capital system for the newly conquered land.
After the state government has managed these things to a great extent, and when the population increases and becomes prosperous, we can then refine them.
By that time, the Qin court will inevitably have trained more skilled officials to accept the next step of refinement.
Regarding the state government system, Ying Gao only made a mention on the silk book. After all, this was a reform of the system of Qin Dynasty, and it must get the nod and support of the King of Qin.
Fan Zeng sent the letter back to Xianyang and began to organize the Qiondu area. He began to count and divide the population, products, treasury, etc.
Due to Fan Zeng's takeover, various armies advanced towards Yue'an, but the coalition forces south of Bashu did not attack immediately, which left Ying Gao completely free.
Ying Gao is at ease, but the storm brought to the south of Bashu and the Central Plains has just begun.
.........
Yelang.
"Your Majesty, King Qiongdu was defeated. Yue'an was conquered by the Qin general Wang Li, and Yue'an was massacred. According to our information, the tribes of Qiongdu have been defeated one by one by the Qin army."
Prime Minister Yelang looked solemn. The fighting power of the warriors of Great Qin was not inferior to the legend. Even though Lord Wu'an of Great Qin was not as good as Bai Qi, the God of Death back then, he did not give in too much.
This time, Lord Wu'an of Great Qin's target was obviously the entire south of Bashu, and Yelang was also within this range, and there was no way to escape.
Nowadays, there are only two possibilities, either surrender and become a subject of Da Qin from now on, or rise up and resist.
And if you rise up to resist, there will be two completely different endings. One is to save Yelang and continue to be king in the south of Bashu, and the other is the fate of King Qiongdu.
The body dies and the country is destroyed.
The only difference from King Qiongdu is that King Yelang has not attacked the Qin envoys so far.
Even after the initial alliance, King Yelang only issued a ban on the Qin envoys, but the treatment remained unchanged and they were still provided with delicious food and drinks.
The Prime Minister of Yelang could see it. As the king of Yelang, he naturally knew it clearly. However, as the king, he knew how cruel the consequences of surrender would be.
Therefore, he would never consider surrendering until he had no choice but to do so.
"Prime Minister, the strength and combat power of the Qin Army have already been demonstrated in the south of Bashu. You also know the number and combat power of our coalition forces."
King Yelang looked at the Prime Minister and said with a faint tone: "From your point of view, is it possible for us to hold on?"
King Yelang is a self-aware person. At this moment, he only thinks about defending, not defeating. He knows that it is simply impossible to defeat the great Qin warriors with a hastily formed coalition.
"Your Majesty, I think the possibility is less than 30%. During this period of time, accompanying the caravan, I have some understanding of the deeds of Lord Wu'an of the Qin Dynasty in these years."
Prime Minister Yelang raised his hands towards King Yelang and said: "This is an extremely difficult opponent, and has already destroyed several countries. The army under his command is carrying the momentum of great victory. It is as powerful as a rainbow and has the power to swallow up thousands of miles."
As majestic as a tiger."
Prime Minister Yelang got to know Ying Gao deeply, and he naturally knew that this man was a devil who didn't care about his reputation or harming Tianhe.
After all, even the order to massacre the city was issued, and his hands were stained with blood. It would not be an exaggeration to call him an executioner.
"Why!"
After listening to the analysis of the Prime Minister, King Yelang sighed, stood up from the throne, walked down the king's steps step by step, and said in a faint tone: "Prime Minister, I, Yelang, must not even think about surrender until the end.
.”
"I hope Yelang will be the final winner!"
Hearing this, Prime Minister Yelang's expression changed slightly. He naturally heard the deep meaning of King Yelang's words. His thoughts moved in his mind, and he quickly raised his hand towards King Yelang and said.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to die for your Majesty, and I am willing to fight to the death for Yelang——!"
This is his statement.
He knew that if he showed any sign of surrender at this time, he would be killed by King Yelang. King Yelang was so cruel that he could not give in more than Lord Wu'an of Great Qin.
"The Prime Minister does not have to be like this, I naturally see the loyalty of the King to the Prime Minister!" King Yelang walked over and helped the Prime Minister up, chuckled, and said: "Prime Minister, please contact the kings immediately.
I want to make an appointment to meet them."
"It's a matter of life and death for all countries, please make a decision quickly!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Prime Minister Yelang turned around and left. He knew in his heart that King Yelang was saving himself, but it was also a choice.
At this moment, the king has made his choice. As a minister, he is naturally willing to die for it.
After all, Yelang is not at the end of his rope in the true sense. If deployed properly and all countries unite, they may not be incapable of fighting against Lord Wu'an of Great Qin.
He knew that the reason why King Wu'an of Great Qin massacred the city was not only to avenge the Qin envoys who were killed by Qiongdu and to warn the kings to protect the safety of the Qin envoys, but also to frighten the kings.
Since such cruel methods were used to scare the kings, it meant that Lord Wu'an of the Great Qin Dynasty could not easily swallow the strength of the kings. In this way, they had room for change.
"Hey, Prime Minister, I hope you won't take things too seriously and don't do anything that would cause my king to kill you!"
King Yelang did not trust the Prime Minister. They naturally relied on each other, but also struggled with each other. King Yelang knew that he could not fall out with the Prime Minister of Yelang at this time.
He knew the talent of the other party, and at this moment he needed the talent of the other party. Lord Wu'an of Great Qin was fierce and mighty, which was evident from the attack on Qiongdu.
Facing such an enemy, he must complete his task in one battle, and with the assistance of the Prime Minister, it will be much easier for him to coordinate the entire Yelang.
In this critical time of survival, only by uniting together can we change the desperate situation.
