Great Qin Shi Empress

Chapter 139 351~352

Lin Qian mentioned the constitutional monarchy system before, but he didn't elaborate on it at the time, but Ying Zheng still kept it in mind.

So now that the old matter is brought up again, Ying Zheng reacts almost immediately.

He looked at Lin Qian: "Can you talk about the constitutional monarchy system in detail?"

It's not that Lin Qian doesn't want to say it, it's just that she was just an ordinary person who liked to read books in her previous life. Although she likes history books and often reads the news, she really doesn't know much about things like the country's political system.

For national systems such as the constitutional monarchy, she is only familiar with Britain, Fusang, and Thailand, which are well-known in the whole world.

Although these three countries are all constitutional monarchies, their essence is quite different.

Thailand is almost the most powerful country among the three countries, followed by the United Kingdom. Although it is difficult to intervene in the political power, at least it has a lot of power;

Finally, there is Fusang. The royal family of this country is considered to be the longest among all countries, with a history of more than 2000 years (according to their own account), but the royal family of this country has been more like a puppet since the shogunate era. subject to many restrictions.

But even so, Lin Qian still has only a half-knowledge of the specific reasons for this difference.

In order to answer Ying Zheng's question, Lin Qian could only turn to the modern host for help——

She can't show off in front of Ying Zheng with her half bottle of water around. It's fine if it doesn't help Ying Zheng, but it's bad if it misleads Ying Zheng.

Fortunately, the world where the modern host lives is affected by the butterfly wings of the previous traversers, only China and a few neighboring countries in East Asia.

Thailand was not greatly affected, but the Fusang country was destroyed because of this.

But because these three constitutional monarchy countries are not the only ones in the whole world, Lin Qian still obtained very complete information related to the constitutional monarchy from the hands of the modern host.

Lin Qian glanced at it and handed it over to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng directly pulled Lin Qian to sit aside, and began to read the pages by himself.

Lin Qian watched from the side, feeling very nervous for a while.

But as time went by, Lin Qian's mood returned to calm, and he simply went to Ying Zheng's side to read together with him.

In just one or two hours, the two of them finished reading all the materials.

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng, and asked a little nervously, "How is it?"

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian without saying a word, just looked at her quietly.

Lin Qian felt very uncomfortable being watched by him, and couldn't help touching her face: "What's wrong?"

Ying Zheng pursed his lips, and sighed for a long time: "When the constitutional monarchy first appeared, it seemed to limit the power of the monarchy, and then it gradually evolved into other various constitutional monarchy systems?"

Lin Qian thought for a while, then nodded hesitantly.

Ying Zheng laughed: "But this system is not suitable for Qin, at least it is not suitable for Qin today. The widow agrees with what Madam mentioned. Too much power will lead to extremely high requirements for the emperor who sits in this position. Otherwise, it is very likely that one person will lead an entire country."

If there is another emperor like Hu Hai, no matter how powerful the Qin State is, it will not be able to resist him.

but……

"It's okay to restrict the imperial power, but the specific method needs to be rethought." Ying Zheng said seriously, "All the conditions of the constitutional monarchy brought by the modern host are not suitable."

Lin Qian did not object: "Anyway, we still have more than 40 years."

How many years have passed since they took the pill?They still have plenty of time to seriously think about the details, and even if there is something they can't figure out, they can directly find foreign aid——

There are so many members of the national team on the modern host, all of them have the blood of descendants of Yan and Huang, and all have the same ancestor. They are mutually beneficial and have no conflict of interest. It makes no sense for the other party to be stingy when they learn that they are in trouble. A little help.

In other words, they are happy to advise Qin.

Ying Zheng thought so, so he used Lin Qian's mouth to discuss a lot of content related to the constitutional monarchy with the members of the modern national team.

But when they learned that they wanted to change the state system to a constitutional monarchy, they were unanimously opposed by the members of the modern national team: Like Ying Zheng, they believed that all the current constitutional monarchy was not in line with the state of Qin. Forcibly promoting a constitutional monarchy is likely to ruin the current good situation of the entire country.

Lin Qian had to explain to the modern host: "Although we intend to promote a constitutional monarchy, we are not planning to promote it in modern times or in recent years. You should know..."

She looked back at Ying Zheng with a smile, and then continued to reply to the modern host, "With Ying Zheng's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for him to allow the power in his hands to be emptied. So even if the current national system is to be changed, it is at least In the years before we die, it will be at least 40 years later."

The modern host is a little puzzled: "40 years later?"

Lin Qian explained: "We contacted the world of cultivating immortals and exchanged them for longevity pills. After taking the pills, we can gain 50 years of life. Although it has been a few years since we took the pills, we also At least 40 more years to live."

After more than 40 years, if the country develops fast enough, how could technology have entered modern society or even modern society at that time?

It only took more than 30 years for New China to go from reform and opening up to economic take-off. Because Qin's population and environment are not as good as New China, it will not be much worse in more than 40 years?After all, they still have cheats to trade more goodies from other worlds.

Again...

Lin Qian explained with a smile: "We found you, and we hoped that you could help us to think of a constitutional monarchy system that is more in line with the actual situation of Qin, instead of just copying it as it is."

As Lin Qian imagined, after knowing the needs of himself and Ying Zheng, the members of the national team on the modern host side not only did not refuse, but began to advise them very seriously.

After tossing for almost a year, the members of the national team on the modern host side really came up with a constitutional monarchy system that is very suitable for Qin's current situation.

After Ying Zheng read it, he couldn't help but put the last hesitation in his mind behind him.

However, because Yingzheng does not currently intend to decentralize power, this well-designed constitutional monarchy system can only be left idle, and then further modified and improved with the development and changes of the country in the next few decades.

By the time Yingzheng was about to abdicate, this system was so mature that it was almost unmistakable: the emperor had a veto power, and was mainly responsible for adjudicating and supervising. There are two major categories, each with different jurisdictions, which seem to be mutually restrained and have their own blends.

Most of the time the decision is made by the emperor, but when the emperor is too stupid, the courtiers can also directly oppose the order issued by the emperor as long as the number of opponents reaches a certain proportion.

On this basis, Ying Zheng and Lin Qian discussed many details with the members of the modern national team. In short, we must ensure that this system can operate in this country and on the basis of maintaining the rule of Qin Give the whole country more opportunities for fault tolerance.

At the same time, it can also protect the lives of the people to the greatest extent.

However, that was decades later. For the current state of Qin, it is too early to talk about changing the state system.

After all, for Ying Zheng, he hasn't won all of this world yet.

After Yingzheng took almost all the land in Asia, he settled down and quietly developed the economy for almost ten years.

But just as Lin Qian was worried about before, in the first five or six years of this decade, the entire country has developed rapidly in terms of economy and technology, the country's population has also increased significantly, and the living standards of the people are also visible to the naked eye. increasing day by day.

However, in the next few years, the development of science and technology and the economy slowed down, and Qin's overly strict laws have repeatedly aroused public grievances.

When Lin Qian couldn't help asking Yingzheng when was the right time to amend the Qin Law, Yingzheng seemed to feel that the right time had finally come. Facing the domestic population that has skyrocketed to more than 1 million in recent years, He directly set his sights on...

Central Asia?

Lin Qian originally thought that Yingzheng's next plan would be Longyuanzhou, that is, America.

But he didn't want Ying Zheng to swing his sword directly at Central Asia.

After thinking about it, Lin Qian realized that Ying Zheng's decision was not accidental——

Ten years can really change a lot of things. Although various technological products such as electric lights and telephones are not everywhere in Qin State, trains, roads and even ships are already everywhere on this land.

And after Yingzheng made it clear that he would implement a constitutional monarchy in the future, the blueprints for the design of thermal weapons had also appeared in the hands of Mohist Juzi, and they were reproduced and improved many times in a short period of time, and even produced The fire system can already equip an army of 10 people.

With such good transportation conditions and military strength, there is really no need for Yingzheng to first target the land in Longyuanzhou, which he almost regards as his own.

Naturally, it was only natural for him to set his sights elsewhere.

The first thing Qin Jun encountered was Jukang, which was next to the Western Regions.The area of ​​this country is larger than any country in the Western Regions, but the strength of the country...

Jukang is next to the countries of the Western Regions, but can only see so many Western Region countries that are not outstanding or even weak in strength, living their own good life with gusto, they know that their strength is really not good.

So it didn't even take a month after the Qin army arrived in Jukang to successfully take the country.

Mohists and other officials who were in charge of building roads and construction immediately followed, and within a very short period of time, the entire Jukang capital was included in the bag. Various policies, and people sent all kinds of cheap cloth and food produced by Qin to Jukang. The people didn't even realize that the boss on their heads had changed, and they recognized their identity as Qin people.

Qin Jun will not be satisfied just because he took down a mere Jukang.

Famous generals such as Wang Ben, Li Xin, Meng Tian, ​​Han Yu, and Qiang Yan went to battle in person, and up-and-coming stars such as Han Xin, Mao Dun, and Fan Kui also got the opportunity to join the army. Even Nei Shi Teng, Yang Duanhe, etc. When the generals also appeared on the battlefield, except for veterans like Wang Jian who were too old to stay at home with regret, all the generals with names and surnames in the entire Qin State did not miss this battle.

The countries in Central Asia are small and numerous, and these generals can easily take them down with one hundred thousand people. If they are fast enough, they can even take down two in a short period of time.

But there are really too many military generals in Qin State, and the small countries in Central Asia are really not enough.

Except for a few such as the Maurya Dynasty, which took a little time, other small countries really cannot fight, but even the Maurya Dynasty...

The Maurya Dynasty should have collapsed in 187 B.C., but now it is 190 B.C., and it is only a few years since the Maurya Dynasty fell. The army is really helpless.

The Qin army was in full swing all the way, and soon went all the way from Central Asia to Europe.

Then, met Rome.

But Rome at this time was not the famous Roman Empire in later generations: the Roman Empire would not be established until 27 BC, and Rome today is a republic.

而对于是秦国来说比较凑巧的是,罗马共和国刚刚在前几年经历了从公元前208一直打到了公元前201年的一场长达八年的第二次布匿战争,同时还经历了一场从公元前214年到公元前205年的长达九年的第一次马其顿战争,从公元前200年到公元前196年的第二次马其顿战争。

Although two of the three wars were won, the time of the three wars was extremely long.

As we all know, war is the most destructive.

The longer the war, the more destructive it will be.

Rome has experienced at least five years of wars, and two of them have a lot of overlap. It is entirely conceivable what the situation in Rome is like.

The domestic situation has always been either that the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

When the strength of the rulers and nobles was affected by the war, the dissatisfaction of the common people in Rome with the rulers and nobles would naturally increase accordingly.

In fact, these wars did have a very big impact on Rome.

After a long period of time, Rome has also been recuperating and quelling domestic conflicts. For this reason, after their victory, they did not launch the third Macedonian War until 171 BC.

Today's Rome is full of internal troubles.

The strength of Rome has been greatly reduced, and the conflict between the nobles and civilians in the country is sharp, and it is impossible to exert 100% combat effectiveness. Therefore, when encountering the Qin army that has crushed Rome in all aspects and has just won many victories...

Cough, although the Qin army has more advanced weapons, haven't the lives of the people of Qin State become better now?The soldiers of the Qin Army did not intend to directly confront Rome.

It's not that I'm afraid of Rome, but that Rome is not a vegetarian. If it is taken down, there may be large-scale casualties.

but……

After inquiring about the situation in Rome, Han Xin almost immediately thought of what Chen Sheng had done in the Western Regions: No way, who made the conflict between the nobles and the common people in Rome increasingly sharp, and the almost irreversible conflict was too eye-catching. Sensational?

Han Xin found Meng Tian and others——

It is obviously impossible to take down Rome with a mere 10 people, so after learning of the existence of Rome, almost all Qin troops gathered in one place and planned to gather the whole army to take it down.

He directly suggested: "We might as well let the people of Rome and the nobles quarrel first, and we will send troops when both of them are defeated."

Others have no problem with this method, it's just...

"How to provoke the conflict between the two parties?"

Han Xin directly took out a piece of paper: "Find a Qin soldier with a good language talent to learn the language of the Romans, and then write on the paper some evils committed by the Roman nobles, and then write some about the current life of the Qin people..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and immediately started to work on it.

Soon, many "leaflets" appeared in various parts of Rome, especially in the city of Rome. The contents of the leaflets were different. Take a look at the lives of the people of Qin...

Some of these leaflets were distributed by some children, and some were directly dropped by hot air balloons where the Romans gathered.

Where did people at this time experience such a fierce public opinion war?They are almost powerless.

Not to mention that the common people are dissatisfied with the nobles, even some small landlords and nobles who can live a decent life can't help feeling disgusted and conflicted with the current Roman rulers after seeing the contents of the leaflets. After the content, it gave birth to endless curiosity and yearning for it.

But the final outcome did not develop as expected by Han Xin and others.

What they wanted was to stir up conflicts between the nobles and the common people, and even lead them to start a war, but they didn't want the common people's fear of the nobles to be deeply rooted, and they didn't even think about resisting them, so after seeing the leaflets...

They took all their belongings and ran out of Rome and other cities to join Han Xin and others.

Yes, they ran directly to the Qin army.

Han Xin and others: "..."

No, since you are dissatisfied with the nobles and feel that the nobles do not regard you as human beings, you take up arms to resist, revolt, and kill the nobles as yourself!

but……

No way, they are bound to take Rome. These people will also be the people of Qin in the future. Although they did not clash with the Roman ruling class as they expected, and ended up losing both sides, they did not even find some trouble for Rome. ,but……

People are coming, can they still drive people away?

They can turn a blind eye to the sufferings of the people of other countries. These Romans who defected to their own side after seeing the propaganda can be regarded as their own people to a certain extent.

They don't have the habit of attacking their own people.

Han Xin and others had no choice but to give up their original ideas, immediately rectify the army and declare war directly on Rome.

Fortunately, the strength of Rome at this time is actually not very strong——

At least not as good as the later Luo Empire.

During the Second Punic War not long ago, Rome was almost defeated. If it weren't for the enemy's rear problems, they would have seized the opportunity to go straight to Huanglong, and perhaps they would not have been able to win.

In addition, their previous propaganda was not useless.

After the Qin army gave up and the two sides really fought, not only many Romans secretly helped the Qin army to deliver news, but also some strong civilians, after learning about the Qin army's military system, offered to propose I want to join the army to make meritorious service.

nation?The Romans at this time did not have this concept.

They only know that rulers do not regard themselves as human beings: although the Colosseum was built 200 years later, it does not represent the attitude of today's nobles towards civilians.

There is hardly a big difference between the two.

Therefore, the civilians of Rome betrayed their rulers without any psychological burden.

Then a strange scene appeared on the battlefield——

The most courageous ones who killed Roman soldiers were often not the soldiers of the Qin State, but the Roman people who had long complained about the Roman rulers and nobles.

The Roman soldiers were caught off guard and suffered a big loss at the hands of their "own people".

Morale was also seriously affected.

At this time, Qin Jun took out the fire system.

The Roman soldiers were even more shocked. Many soldiers lost the idea of ​​​​resisting instantly after seeing the power of the fire system.When it was discovered that there were as many as [-] soldiers holding the fire system in the hands of the Qin army, let alone soldiers, even some noble generals gave up resistance in fear.

General Qin Jun seized the opportunity and immediately led his troops to rush over...
