Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 290 The Huns
"The Xiongnu, whose ancestors were descendants of the Xiahou clan, first belonged to the Beirong clan, which flourished in the past hundred years.

The Huns and Loufans in the north of the Later Three Jin Dynasty were destroyed by the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu Shanyu repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, attacking the city, destroying the land and looting food and grass. The women were captured as slaves, and the men were slaughtered on the spot.

First, King Wuling of Zhao used Hufu to ride and shoot the army of the strong Zhao, and defended the army in the north; later, General Li Mu of Zhao fought decisively with him in the three counties of the North, and wiped out [-] Xiongnu in one fell swoop. Central Plains.

Zhao Guo returned, and the Xiongnu returned to Hetao to capture Yunzhong when Qin had no time to look north. Now they have crossed the river to the south and occupied the whole of Henan.

According to the previous report of my Great Qin Secret Detective, now the grassland Xiongnu Shanyu is the head of the Manchanyu, and there are more than [-] people who control strings under his command. "

After briefly introducing the history and power of the Huns, Liston paused and continued: "The barbarians in the north are ungrateful and shameless.

The young and strong wear warm clothes and eat rich food, while the elderly only have to eat leftovers to satisfy their hunger. When the father dies, his mother is his wife, and when his brother dies, his brother's wife and sister-in-law.

This family without benevolence, justice, integrity and shame should not exist in the world. "

Although the ministers present here all know the existence of the Huns, but in today's era of extremely blocked information flow, these people really know very little about the customs of the Huns.

As soon as Li Si explained, he immediately refreshed the three views of these ministers.

There are still people who play like this, even his own mother is not spared when his father dies, such a person with no etiquette and morality is no different from a beast.

Although Great Qin advocated laws and regulations, the influence of the 800-year-old Zhou Rites has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Chinese people.

Hearing that there is such a country of beasts, the court immediately shouted and beat up, just like Li Si concluded in the end, "This kind of family without benevolence, righteousness and shame should not exist in the world."

After unifying the thinking, the next step is who will fight and how to fight.

Different from the Han Dynasty after the Qin Dynasty, Daqin's current land tax can be said to be extremely heavy. Not only does it need to pay a high amount of land tax, but it also needs to pay various taxes such as poll tax.

After all the taxes are paid, even if it is left in a good year, it will only be enough to fill the stomach.

If there is a famine, you need to find some wild vegetables and fruits in the fields to add to the food.

Such benefits are obvious. It can raise a large amount of food and grass for the country in the shortest time, supporting the war machine of Daqin in one war after another.

After the unification of the world, the lives of the people of the Qin Dynasty did not get much better, but they still bear heavy burdens, supporting the noble class of the entire Qin Dynasty and the hundreds of thousands of troops who marched south to Baiyue.

If we use troops on both sides, I am afraid that the burden on the people will be even heavier.

The first emperor and others didn't care too much about it. If there was not enough food and grass to get from the common people, those weed-like untouchables would always find their own way of life.

The biggest question before the first emperor was who to send to attack the Huns in the north!
The difference from the previous life is that You Ziying's military achievements in Meng Tian, ​​the general who attacked the Huns in the north, in the unification war were not dazzling, it can only be said to be mediocre.

However, the same as in the previous life, veteran generals such as Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, Meng Wu, etc. are too old to be useful.

In addition, he insisted on going his own way and appointed Tu Sui to attack the land of Baiyue, and the result... If it hadn't been about the embarrassment of the emperor, Tu Sui should have been withdrawn for questioning.

For a while, Yingzheng didn't have a suitable candidate for the job.

Of course there are suitable people.

"Mr. Chang'an, who do you think will be the commander of the Huns in the Northern Expedition?" After a long time, the first emperor's eyes focused on Ziying.

It is said to be an inquiry, but in fact, a decision has already been made in my heart.

In today's court, Ziying who has regained trust is indeed more suitable for the Northern Expedition than Meng Tian.

"I would like to share your majesty's worries!" Ziying heard the first emperor's inquiry, and naturally understood what the first emperor meant, and immediately responded respectfully.

"Okay, okay... Mr. Chang'an is worthy of being the pillar of my Great Qin, so feel free to mention anything you need during the Northern Expedition."

After Wang Jian returned to old age, Ziying was the No. 1 in the Great Qin Army. After knowing Ziying's deterrent power against the remnants of the six kingdoms, Ying Zheng really regarded Ziying as a pillar of Qin like Wang Jian.

In history, the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu should be Meng Tian, ​​not himself.However, Ziying knew that the history of Daqin had slowly changed with the arrival of the Communist Party.

"The minister asks the emperor for one person to help, one army to accompany him, and one thing to go with him."

"Speak!" Ying Zheng responded boldly with a wave of his big hand.

"I invite General Meng Tian to go out with me as the deputy general. I invite the Daqin cavalry to go out together. I invite more chariots to go with me." Ziying said after thinking for a while.

Meng Tian is the son of the veteran Meng Wu, with a long history of family education.If Ziying didn't go, Ying Zheng had planned to let Meng Tian lead the army.

The second point is also understandable. The Huns on the grasslands come and go like shadows and wind, and it is normal to bring cavalry.

But the third point made Ying Zheng a little puzzled.

It's not that the Qin State didn't have chariots, but they didn't use them much. In the war to unify the six countries, the chariots didn't have many obvious attacks.

Most of them cooperate with infantry and cavalry as a supplement to attack.

Chariots with low mobility have already been marginalized on the battlefield.

However, Ziying did know that with the military strength of the Qin army at this time, it was necessary to use chariots to deal with the Xiongnu.

Although the Qin army also has cavalry, the number is only more than [-]. Second, it is difficult to compare with the Huns who live on horseback in terms of quality.

If the infantry met the Huns on the vast grassland, and there were no chariots to stop the Huns' horses, a charge would probably be scattered.

Although I don't understand why Ziying made this request that he must bring a chariot, but Ying Zheng understands that his strengths are not in the military, and he has always satisfied the requirements of the generals who go out to the expedition as much as possible.

"Allow it!" The First Emperor replied, "Let Lord Chang'an be the commander-in-chief, Meng Tian be the deputy commander-in-chief, command [-] infantry, [-] cavalry, and [-] chariots, and attack the Xiongnu from the north!"

……

Yingzheng's character has always been that he can't tolerate procrastination, and when the food and grass for Qi's northern expedition are prepared in the history of Zhisu, it may be the day when Ziying will go on the expedition.

In the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, Sima Jingjing and other three women were busy packing the clothes and some standing items for Ziying.

Although they are noble women, at this moment they are no different from ordinary women who send their husbands to the battlefield.

As the saying goes, three women play a show, and Ziying has realized the power of this sentence even more at this moment. The three of them gathered together for half the morning and packed seven large boxes for Ziying.

I can't wait to put all the things Ziying used in daily life on Ziying.

"I heard that the Huns drink human blood, it's human flesh, your lord must be careful..."

"There are two fox furs in this box, don't forget to stuff them with Feng Han..."

"After defeating the Huns, we must return early..."
