The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 620: Lai Ai: A good young man who strives hard for power

Daxia named the old land of Zhao State as Anxi Fourteen Prefectures. For the same reason, Qin State named the old land of Zhao State Dongqi Sixteen Counties in order to better manage it.

Why Dongqi? As the name suggests, it starts from the east. This is the great hegemony that Emperor Qin fantasized about to unify China. Unfortunately, after taking down the sixteen counties, he was blocked by Qi Jiang from going east. Although he went north to fight on the grasslands and captured the scope of one or two counties, this move was very difficult. So Qi Huang made a mistake in starting the road to unify the world.

At this time, among the sixteen counties in Dongqi, Ying Wang Qinzheng was sitting in Zhaodu County, which was the imperial capital of Zhao State back then. He was ordered by Emperor Qin to stabilize the situation in the sixteen counties.

Although he is the youngest among the princes of Qin, he is not as weak as the crown, but his methods are quite sophisticated and cruel.

In the sixteen counties, on the one hand, he sent people to round up the traitors of the old Zhao, and adopted the law of Lianzao, who dared to cover the five households of Lianzao. At the same time, letting Zhao people move from their hometown to other counties, and adopting a similar swap method, did ease Zhao people's hatred of Qin.

But wanting to solve it within three months is a bit wishful thinking.

Then why in three months? Naturally, there was a reason for this, and Qin Huang gave King Ying an order to completely settle the situation in the sixteen counties of Dongqi within three months, because after three months, Qin Huang wanted to send troops to conquer Great Xia!

We can't delay any longer, the more we delay, the stronger Daxia will be!

For example, in spring now, the cold weather has not completely faded away, which has greatly reduced the production of winter wheat or even failed to harvest. The function of the land is reduced due to the cold, and the newly planted crops will inevitably affect the harvest.

But what about Daxia?

Multi-structure planting, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, cotton, which one is suitable for planting. For example, sweet potatoes, which are suitable for the land, are simply magical tools. They can be grown in forests, whether it is barren land or desolate mountains! And the output is still high. Even if the harvest of other grains decreases, the common people still have food to survive.

Moreover, the emergence of new crops has also expanded the amount of arable land in Daxia, and many people have opened up wasteland for planting, so the folk customs of Daxia are thriving.

One ebbs and another, Qin Huang is naturally unwilling to wait! He wants to send troops, he wants to send troops now!

But Emperor Qin was also afraid that he might not be able to deal with the sixteen counties of Dongqi, so he rashly sent troops, and Zhao's rebels would rise up, and cooperate with Da Xia to attack from behind, it would definitely be a blow to Qin's army.

There are more than 40 million Zhao people in the sixteen counties of Dongqi. Once the Zhao State is restored, the previous efforts of the Qin State will be in vain.

In addition, it is also one aspect that the other two princes secretly made troubles.

At this time, in the former imperial palace of Zhao State, in a large hall, Qin Zheng was watching the secret report from Da Xia.

The secret report gave a detailed introduction to the current situation of Great Xia, especially the construction of the Lingyun Pavilion by the Emperor Xia, who released his military power with a glass of wine, and allowed eleven military marquises to surrender their military leadership in a calm manner.

This is the last move of the Emperor Xia before he abdicates. When the Wa country is settled, it will be the time for the crown prince to inherit the throne.

Although it was an enemy relationship, Qin Zheng also had to admire Emperor Xia. It took a lot of courage to abdicate as the emperor to make Xian, and it was even more difficult to settle all unstable factors for the prince and then leave by himself. Looking at the emperors of the ups and downs in the history of the Chinese mainland, Emperor Xia is definitely the first!

Look at his father, who controls the government, distrusts the prince, and supports the prince to suppress the prince. Qin Zheng doesn't want to admit it, but he has to admit that his father is far worse than Emperor Xia.

Maybe only when His Majesty is in the sky, it will be their turn to fight, otherwise they will be princes and princes honestly.

While feeling emotional, Qin Zheng also understood His Majesty's urgency. The same is true for him, it seems that he must continue to intensify his efforts to clean up the sixteen counties, no matter the cost!

In the past, I was afraid that too much rectification would cause a counterattack when there was a rebound. Now that time is tight, the means and pace have to be faster.

What's more, it's not easy for Qin to get the opportunity to govern the sixteen counties of Dongqi, isn't it just to carry out his plan?

Now everything is in plan, how is the progress in Qindu?

His eyes looked west through the hall, as if he saw the capital of Qin.

At this time, the capital of Qin was bustling with people, no different from the past. Chuan Jianguo was his right servant, and Xichang's spies continued to sneak in. If you want to say that the person who has changed the most is Lai Ai.

Since following Mrs. Chunhua, Lao Ai has used his skills to serve Mrs. Chunhua so much that she doesn't want to get out of bed, and his status has naturally risen. He is second only to Mrs. Chunhua in the mansion, and no one dares to offend him.

And Mrs. Chunhua is the younger sister of Prime Minister Li Si. Although Li Si doesn't like her sister's style, she cares more about this younger sister. As for the man who suddenly appeared next to his sister, he naturally wanted to investigate.

Because of Xichang's secret help, the people Li Si sent to investigate did not discover Lao Ai's true identity, but only found out that he was from Zhao, his parents died, and he came to Qindu to make a living. Moreover, Li Si also knew about Lao Ai's special skills.

This made Li Si's eyes brighten. He was about to find someone with expertise in that area, but he just happened to meet one. So Li Si went to Mrs. Chunhua's mansion and met Lao Ai.

Li Si was very satisfied to see Lao Ai's handsome appearance.

Lai Ai hurried to meet Li Si, The villain, Lai Ai, pays respects to Lord Xiangguo!

Li Si stretched out his hand to signal, and said: Wu Li, I heard my sister is full of praise for you, do you have other skills?

Lao Ai knows that now is his chance to stand out, and following Mrs. Chunhua's life is just a face-to-face, useless and ridiculed. It's different to follow the prime minister, soar to the top and reach the pinnacle of life.

The villain dare not hide from the adults. Apart from kung fu in bed, the biggest advantage of the villain is loyalty! Secondly, the villain is proficient in swordsmanship, but he is self-taught and dare not boast. Lai Ai said respectfully.

Li Si smiled and said: Loyalty is not a skill, but it is the best quality. The people I admire the most are loyal people. It is a bit of a talent to keep you here, would you like to work under my command?

Lao Ai hurriedly thanked her: The villain is willing, the villain has the kindness of the master, and he will be loyal and unyielding, and he is willing to die to repay it!

You don't need to die to pay for it! But I have to see if your loyalty is what you said. How about it, have you killed someone for me, have you ever killed someone? Li Si asked.

Lao Ai shook her head and said, Reporting to Xiangye, the villain has never killed, but the villain dared to kill, who is the person Xiangye wants to kill?

Li Si spat out a name.

Lai Ai has been in Qindu for many days, and she also knows the dignitaries in Qindu through her ears and eyes, but the name Li Si uttered is not someone else, but the uncle of the current crown prince.

Lai Ai immediately put on a sad face, and asked him to kill the prince's uncle, not to mention whether he could get close, if he got close, it would be considered successful, could he escape by himself?

But at the same time, he understands a truth, this is a big test, if he completes it, he can gain Li Si's trust and even be reused by him. He must have a big event to test himself like this, otherwise, with his status as a prime minister, would he talk so much to himself?

Master Xiang, don't worry, even if Lai Ai risked her life, she will fulfill this opportunity! Lai Ai immediately said righteously.

Li Si nodded in satisfaction. Since he wants to use Lao Ai, he will not be sent to death, so this task depends on his attitude, and Lao Ai's attitude satisfies him very much. youth.

Very good! Don't worry, since you are asked to assassinate, it will naturally be arranged for you. You only need to do it, and you can get out of it after it is done. Li Si said.

Lai Ai was overjoyed, nodded quickly, and said: The villain understands!

In this way, Lao Ai got close to Li Si through Mrs. Chunhua's relationship. And Li Si happened to be able to use him, so he took him under his command.

Although Xiao Rui came to Lai Ai and hadn't even met him, his role has already begun to take root in Qin. With Lao Ai's means, more exciting events will happen next!

As for the uncle who Li Si sent Lai Ai to assassinate the prince, there is a deep way to do it, the emperor of Qi is old, the prince is gentle, and the other princes are eyeing him, all eagerly staring at the position of supremacy.

Emperor Qin knew this very well, but he did not have the brilliant methods of Emperor Xia.

Now the new emperor of Daxia is about to succeed to the throne, and the hearts of the army and the people of Daxia will be united like never before. This is another reason why Emperor Qin is eager to attack Daxia.

You have to give Da Xia a head-on blow, otherwise you will really fall into the bottom line.

At this time in Qijiang, the Qin army water battalion on the west bank is mobilizing ships from other places and expanding the size of the water army. This is the best reflection of Qin's determination to attack Daxia, because this is the front line of the battle.

If the Qin army wants to fight Daxia, the first difficulty is how to cross the river with so many soldiers, horses and luggage, not to mention that there is Daxia's navy in the east of the river!

Without destroying the Great Xia Navy, Qin Bing would definitely not be able to cross the river, and crossing the river would be courting death. This is also the reason for the frenzied expansion of Qin's navy. They must destroy the Daxia navy with destructive power, and then escort the Qin soldiers across the river to start the conquest of Daxia.

Qijiang is the key point, we must control both sides of Qijiang!

Qin Guo understood this truth, and Gan Ning understood it even more.

Gan Ning has long been in control of the actions of the Qin State Navy, and he is also increasing his strength.

The last time Xiao Rui came to the improved building ship, he was sent here directly. Gan Ning personally participated in the modification of the building ship, making the building ship more fierce, stronger in attack power, and more fireproof.

In fact, water combat is very simple. First, long-distance attack, then warship collision, and then board the boat to fight, and cooperate with fire attack and so on.

Now, with the transformation of the buildings and ships, they are stronger and more powerful in collision. Coupled with powerful arrows and gunpowder, Gan Ning is not afraid of Qin.

If Qin wants to fight, then come! As long as they dare to cross the river, let them know how powerful they are!

His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have ordered that he be allowed to fight at any time, and his warship and crossbow arrows are ready, waiting for the enemy to come and die.

Gan Ning silently clenched his fists. He will take the defeat of Qin's navy as a gift and congratulate the crown prince on his ascension to Datong!
