Chapter 4: 800,000 Army Attacks Chu (Happy New Year)
Feeling Ying Zheng's gaze, Li Si stood up bravely. After looking at Ying Zheng, he realized that Li Si had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for half a year.
Although Li Si wanted to say that the Young Mansion was responsible for too many things, covering all aspects and being all-encompassing, it was really normal for occasional mistakes to occur.
The military's artillery research is under the control of the Shaofu, Elder Gushen's agricultural base is under the control of the Shaofu, the follow-up of childcare is under the control of the Shaofu, various statistical forms are under the control of the Shaofu, and even the accounts of the Prime Minister's Office are under the control of the Shaofu.
The Shaofu can also take charge of the accounts of the censor, the general's account, and the net's account.
Today's Shaofu is like a small kingdom, a super hodgepodge, responsible for many important and private departments. Although the power is not as powerful as that of the prime minister, its importance is not lower at all.
However, in terms of manpower, it is far inferior to that of the Prime Minister's Mansion. For talents of the same quality, the first choice is always the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion selects the remaining ones before coming to the Shaofu Mansion.
But can this be said?
Is there anyone here who needs Li Si’s complaint?
"Your Majesty, I have done something bad, please punish me." Li Si said expressionlessly.
"A fine of three months' salary. I will explain it carefully later. If there is no explanation, it will be handled according to Qin law."
Hearing this, Li Si was not surprised but overjoyed. He passed the test this time.
However, I am holding back a lot of anger in my heart. Li Si from other worlds could not suppress Zhao Gao and allowed the Qin Dynasty to perish. It was them who did it, not me. Why do you two always like to target me?
I am a loyal minister of Great Qin!
A true loyal minister!
Before your Majesty came to power, I was your loyal minister!
You want to take the opportunity to hit me and obtain the secrets of relevant departments, that is a delusion!
Nodding, Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian who was standing aside. Wang Jian also stood up with a wink: "Your Majesty, in the past six months, there have been 100,000 new soldiers and 200,000 new militiamen. So far, the number of Da Qin soldiers has increased by 100,000.
There are 400,000 soldiers and 1 million militiamen."
"Among them, one hundred thousand militiamen have gone to the Sui Dynasty and are currently staying there to suppress the world. There are also three hundred thousand militiamen who are staying in Korea, Zhao, Wei, and Yan to prevent rebellions."
"Now that it's winter again, it's the right time to attack Chu."
Winter, winter again!
In the winter of the year before last, the first five-year plan only lasted four years, and it completed the original goal. Then it began to destroy Korea. After World War I, Korea was destroyed.
Last winter, the army went out to attack, and the state of Zhao was destroyed. At the end of winter, the state of Wei was destroyed, and in the spring, the state of Yan was destroyed. Now it's winter again, and it's time for the army to go out to attack the six countries again.
"Who does the general intend to destroy this time? How many troops will he send?"
In today's world, four of the seven countries have been destroyed, leaving only three countries: Qin, Chu, and Qi. With Qin's current strength, it will not be a problem whether it sends troops to destroy Qi or Chu. Even the strength gap between them
, it has reached the point where Da Qin no longer needs to use conspiracies and tricks.
"Destroy Chu!"
"How many troops are the General planning to use this time?"
Wang Jian did not answer directly, but clasped his fists with both hands, performed a military salute and said loudly: "Eight hundred thousand!"
After hearing the eight hundred thousand, Wei Liaozi and others looked at Wang Jian.
In the history books of the real world, the direction of the destruction of Chu is very interesting! In other words, the country of Chu has always been very interesting, and it created many interesting idioms for Zhu Xia.
Not to mention the time of Lord Wu An, Chu State had already been destroyed once by Qin State and was later restored again. Even when Wang Jian destroyed Chu State, many twists and turns occurred.
At the beginning, the First Emperor asked Wang Jian how many people were needed to destroy Chu. Wang Jian said 600,000. Then the First Emperor waved his hand and let him leave. Then he asked Li Xin how many people were needed to destroy Chu. Li Xin said, 200,000.
enough!
Then Li Xin took 200,000 people to destroy Chu. It went smoothly at first, but in the end, the way back was blocked!
Jun Chengjiao of Chang'an suddenly rebelled. He said that Ying Zheng was Lu Buwei's son, not a bloodline of Da Qin, but a bastard, and that he was the real bloodline of Ying Qin.
However, no one cared about him, and soon his rebellion was eliminated and he himself died.
But even if the rebellion was put down quickly, it would still take too long for Li Xin's army far away in Chu State, and it would take so long that the army would have no food.
No food!
The 200,000-strong army is out of food!
More importantly, Xiang Yan seemed to have anticipated Jun Chengjiao's rebellion in Chang'an, and took advantage of this opportunity to defeat Li Xin.
Of course, this statement is just rhetoric and can be heard as a joke. In fact, it does not hold water at all!
Because Chengjiao's rebellion was in 239 BC and Li Xin's attack on Chu was in 225 BC, there was a full fourteen years difference between the two!
In the history of other worlds, Li Xin attacked Chu and won initially, but was then defeated by Xiang Yan. This matter can be summarized in a simple sentence.
Then the First Emperor was helpless and had to ask Wang Jian to come out again. He raised an army without saying anything and gathered an army of 600,000. Finally, Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to defeat Xiang Yan and destroy the Chu State.
After thinking about the history books he saw, Ying Zheng said: "So many?"
Why do we need so much this time? It’s 200,000 more than the 600,000 in the history books. You have to explain it to me. Wang Jian seemed to understand Ying Zheng’s question and began to explain calmly.
.
He stroked his beard and said very calmly: "The current situation, four of the six countries have been destroyed, and coupled with the existence of all the worlds, it is a time when people's hearts are changing."
"This news about the universe has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that in front of the universe, we are all people of the same world and our own people. It can unite people's hearts and allow people from other countries to integrate into the Great Qin as soon as possible.
."
"However, the disadvantage is that there are always people who are unwilling to give up, and there are always people who want to give it a try. They feel that instead of letting Da Qin control the ability to travel to other worlds, it is better to let them control it themselves."
"In addition, the Chu State has a vast land and rich resources, a vast territory, more than ten thousand miles from north to south, dense water network, and a large population. It looks like it has the power to fight. So those conspirators will definitely seize this opportunity!"
"Therefore, at this time, we must be more prudent. The terrain of Chu State is definitely not suitable for our soldiers. It is inevitable that they will not adapt to the acclimatization."
"It also takes time to overcome acclimatization, and this time is the opportunity for Chu State and the opportunity for those conspirators."
"In the opinion of the veteran, it is not difficult to defeat the Chu State. Although the Chu State has many soldiers, they are mixed but not refined, and the hearts of the people are not unified. Some come from the feudal lord, and some come from the king. They will not last long."
"It only takes 200,000 soldiers to defeat the current state of Chu. But if you want to eliminate Chu safely without any accidents, you will need 600,000 militiamen to maintain local security."
"Twenty thousand soldiers are responsible for the frontal battlefield, and 600,000 militiamen are responsible for maintaining stability in the rear. Only in this way can the remaining people give up completely!"
