The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Qin is recognized as the most powerful country on the mainland of China.

As the Zhao army fully deployed troops to Daxia, all the elite troops pressed towards the Canglan Pass, resulting in a vacancy in the hinterland of the State of Zhao. There were no more troops stationed at the three Xiong Passes in Qinling. Now each pass is only garrisoned with 100,000 troops to guard against. Qin State.

　　 As Qi and Yuan countries used troops against Daxia, Qin's secretly assembled forces were finally revealed, and 500,000 troops directly attacked the Beishu Pass.

　　 When Xiao Rui asked Zhang Liang to come out of the mountain, Zhang Liang deduced the situation of the world. He put himself in the perspective of the State of Qin and imagined how the State of Qin would conquer the world. Zhang Liang could think that the counsellors around Qin Huang would naturally think of it, so when Qin State sent troops to the North Junction, a 5,000-strong elite cavalry was going north across the forest and snowfields, preparing to invade the State of Zhao.

　　 At the same time, a large number of infantry crossed the Qinling Mountains, passed through the plank road and mountain road, and invaded the kingdom of Zhao.

　　 The Qin Kingdom’s campaign has begun. At this point, the Seven Kingdoms of China have all fallen into war.

　　 Time flies, and five more days have passed.

With the invasion of the Qi and Yuan forces, the state machine of Daxia was fully activated. Then the five-army governor’s mansion cooperated with the Ministry of War, and the northern states deployed guards and soldiers to gather 200,000 troops northward, and the champion Hou led the soldiers to fight against Qi and Yuanzhi. military.

　　 While the Qi State sent 150,000 troops, the Yuan Army sent 100,000 troops, forming a 250,000 combined army to go south, and there was a distance of more than two hundred miles from the border. Moreover, according to reports from the spies in Qi, there are still 300,000 armies of the two countries being assembled to continue their southern invasion.

　　 Xiao Rui continued to study government affairs in the Hall of Yangxin in the morning, but now 60% of government affairs are related to wars. After all, wars are frequent now.

　　 But apart from the war, there are other major issues that cannot be resolved directly to your Majesty.

　　 At this time, Emperor Xia had in his hand an emergency memorial sent by Caozhou governor six hundred miles urgently.

　　After Xia looked at it, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed softly: "Sure enough, it's still here."

　　 sighed Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui asked, "Father, what happened?"

　　 The Emperor Xia handed the memorial to Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui took a look and said, "Ling Xun?!"

　　Lingxun refers to the phenomenon of river water surge formed by the melting of ice and snow in the upper reaches, while the downstream has not yet thawed. This year, the weather is cold, and the Yellow River, the largest river in the north of Xia, has also been frozen and closed. The course of the Yellow River is meandering across high and low latitudes, which is very capricious.

　　This kind of willfulness caused the Yellow River to flow from low latitudes to high latitudes after entering Caozhou, that is, from the southwest to the northeast. In winter, the temperature is warm at the top and cold at the bottom, the river is closed from bottom to top, and the ice layer is thick and thin. In the spring now, the ice layer of the closed river is beginning to melt, and because the temperature is high in the south and low in the north, the open river flows from the upper reaches to the lower.

　　 Nowadays, the Yellow River in Caozhou is melting ice, but the lower reaches of Jeju and Binzhou are still in a frozen state. Once it is not controlled, a large amount of ice and water from the upstream will flow to the downstream, forming a large ice flood peak. When the river ice dams and the water level is high, it will cause a terrible flood disaster.

　　 Since ancient times, there has been a phenomenon of Lingxun in the land of eastern Shandong.

Xia Huang sighed: "This year's weather is changeable, and natural disasters will inevitably occur. A year ago, I ordered the cabinet to inform the states and capitals that the Yellow River flows through to pay careful attention to the situation of the Lingxun. It seems that the worry has happened. Once the Lingxun breaks the embankment, it will definitely happen. The sorrow is everywhere, and the lower reaches become the country of Ze."

　　 Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Since ancient times, the way to deal with Lingxun is to hit ice and scatter soil. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The son of Caozhou Governor pointed out in the memorial that he has already mobilized the masses to take action."

"Although the action has been started, the speed of ice-breaking by humans is too slow, and there is a time limit for ice-breaking. It is necessary to grasp the forecast of ice conditions and choose the appropriate ice-breaking time. The ice-breaking is the most effective when the river is fast-opening. The ice breaks early and resumes freezing after the temperature drops. If the river is broken, the opportunity to break the ice will be lost. When the river is long and the amount of ice is large, it is necessary to choose important river sections that may form ice dams, such as shallows, sharp bends, and narrow embankments. Caozhou governor is also an incompetent person, and he has no chance to coordinate everything. Look at this memorial. He didn't even explain when to open the river, how long it would take to break the ice, and so on. It can be seen that he is also confused!" Xia Huang sighed. .

　　 Your Majesty today has a vision. Years ago, he was worried that there would be Ling Xun. But the management of the country is not only dependent on his Majesty, but also the parents of the prefectures. If these parents are incompetent, the Majesty who is far away in Kyoto can only sigh in the air.

　　If the Lingxun is not handled properly, the lower reaches of the coastal state capital will inevitably be flooded, causing heavy casualties.

　　 At this moment, Xiao Rui stood up and said, "Father, let your son lead the iron dragon knight and go with gunpowder!"

　　 "You go?" Xia Huang was taken aback.

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Father, the children are not going to go on a whim, but deliberate for three reasons. First, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, not to mention it is a matter of life and death! The son is a prince! Naturally, you can’t stay out of the matter. Second, although you can learn the knowledge of handling state affairs in the Hall of Nourishment, you can better understand the people’s and national conditions and personally understand the situation in person. The children do not want to talk about war on paper. After all, you have to understand it. Third, Gunpowder can open the river faster than manpower, and gunpowder is a secret, so the son is not worried about arranging other people to go. Now the son is leading people to rush to Caozhou in the shortest time, trying to prevent the occurrence of Lingxun, and ask his father King's grace!"

　　 "The emperor has a heart, since that's the case, I am right!" Xia Huang smiled and immediately agreed, and he agreed quickly, which surprised Xiao Rui.

　　 Later, Emperor Xia seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "You will first bring five thousand iron dragon knights to **** gunpowder to Caozhou. I will order the auxiliary soldiers to send you the equipment of the iron dragon knights."

　　 Xiao Rui originally wanted to refuse. After all, it was for disaster relief. The Iron Dragon Cavalry's weapons, armor, and vest were not required, but he thought that the weapons and armor were the life of Iron Dragon Cavalry soldiers.

　　 It’s just that your Majesty’s smile is weird.

　　 Later, Xiao Rui left the Hall of Nourishment of the Heart and ordered Li Yuanfang to notify Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang to go to Huben Pavilion to prepare gunpowder, Dian Wei and Yang Yuji rectified the five thousand iron dragon knights.

　　 Xiao Rui returned to the East Palace to bid farewell.

　　 In the East Palace, Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue were chatting in the room. Lu Fei and her caring became closer, and the three became friends who talked about everything.

　　 Xiao Rui came back hurriedly, explaining what he wanted to leave.

　　 After listening to the two women, although they were unwilling to give up, they immediately prepared a bag for Xiao Rui, and then they kept giving orders.

　　 "His Royal Highness, you must have enough food when you go out."

　　 "It's cold in the north, so you must wear thicker ones!"

　　 "You must pay attention to safety!"

　　……

　　 Xiao Rui smiled and nodded, enjoying the intimate advice of the two ladies.

　　 Later, Xiao Rui left the palace and went to Zhan Shifu, and went out of the city with Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhang Liang and others to Huben Pavilion.

　　 At this time, outside the Huben Pavilion, the Five Thousand Iron Dragon Knights were lightly equipped, each riding a horse and carrying two horses. One horse transfers, and the other carries two wooden boxes on his back. The box contains a large porcelain jar, which contains gunpowder, and there are a lot of linen barriers outside the porcelain jar to prevent collisions and bumps, so that the gunpowder can be carried. very safe. Everyone carries twenty catties of gunpowder, which is enough to break the ice.

　　 This time I went to Caozhou with Zhang Liang, accompanied by Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei, and Yang Youji.

　　 Don't look at Zhang Liang as beautiful as a woman, but with martial arts, on the other hand, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are ordinary people and can't stand the long distance travel.

　　 After getting ready, Xiao Rui turned on his horse.

　　 Jia Xu and Guo Jia said, "His Royal Highness, this is a thousand miles away from Caozhou, and I hope that your Highness will pay attention to your safety! Leave everything to Ovary and Yuanfang!"

　　 Xiao Rui replied with a smile: "Wenhe, Fengxiao, don't worry, this king understands."

　　 The two were still worried, and then asked Zhang Liang.

　　 After Zhang Hao comforted the two well, the group immediately set off and headed north to Caozhou.

　　 The news that Xiao Rui left Kyoto did not go away, and Emperor Xia even blocked the news to avoid criminals playing conspiracies, and there was a chance to take advantage of it.

　　 It takes more than a thousand miles to go to Caozhou. Xiao Rui and others are all martial artists. They sit on horses and are good horses. They are good at running and can easily run fifty to sixty miles per hour. However, the horse's physical strength is also limited, and it is impossible to run continuously. Basically, for 40 to 50 minutes, you have to slow down and take a break. After running for half a day, you will have to change trains. Xiao Rui and others can also take the opportunity to rest.

　　 Although there are stations along the road, but there are no five thousand good horses, so I can only change horses in various guards. Fortunately, Xiao Rui is like the gold medal I visited in person, saving a lot of time.

　　 This time I rushed to Caozhou, Xiao Rui also wanted to experience the speed of the rapid march. After all, if he really went to the battlefield in the future, it would be commonplace to make raids for thousands of miles.

　　 He set off at noon that day and arrived at Caozhou City in the afternoon of the day after the college. He ran more than 1,000 miles in more than three days, and his speed was not too slow.

　　 It’s the first time for Xiao Rui to ride for ten hours a day. Fortunately, he is a martial artist, with a strong body to support him. Even so, his buttocks are bumped and his legs are sore. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Iron Dragon Knight, well, there is no sense of fatigue at all!

　　 More than 5,000 people suddenly approached the Caozhou prefecture, which immediately aroused the alert of the guards in charge of guarding the city. Xiao Rui was also afraid of causing panic, so he ordered Iron Dragon to repair outside the city, while they went into the city.

　　 At this time, the hundred households guarding the city hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Dare to ask where the army masters come from? Is there an order document for the Ministry of War?"

　　 Li Yuanfang stepped forward, took out his token, and shouted: "The official is the prince's personal guard and the left is Li Yuanfang!"

　　 Hundreds of households were surprised, and hurriedly said: "The villain pays homage to General Li!"

　　 "Lead the way quickly and take us to the governor's office!" Li Yuanfang ordered.

　　 The one hundred households did not dare to delay, and personally led Xiao Rui into the city, but after entering the city, he glanced at Xiao Rui and stopped talking.

　　 After Zhang Liang noticed it, he asked, "Do you have something to say?"

　　 Hundred households then respectfully said: "You adults should go to the governor's office. They should go to the governor's office. But at this point in time, the governor's office should not be in the governor's office."

　　 Zhang Liang suddenly laughed when he heard the sound, and his eyes took a good look at the young hundred households. Under Zhang Liang's gaze, the hundred households were embarrassed and did not dare to look directly.

　　 "Where is the governor of Caozhou?" Zhang Liang asked.

　　"Drunk Xianglou drinking." Baihu said.

　　 Zhang Liang nodded, and said, "Take us to the governor's office!"

　　 Hundred households did not dare to say more, and continued to lead the way.

Xiao Rui naturally noticed this scene and asked: "This Caozhou provincial governor is such a great Yaxing, Ling Xun is about to come. Not only did he not want to solve it, he also stopped working in the government office, and even went to Drunk Xianglou to drink. He is really a good parent official for the people what."

　　 Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Many local officials are corpse-bit vegetarian meals, even if the supervisory official patrols the prefecture, it is not very useful."

　　 Xiao Rui nodded, not to mention the ancient times, even the corrupt officials of the previous life could not be wiped out. This is a big problem.

　　 "Ovary, I have been thinking about a problem these days. There are too many state agencies in Daxia, which leads to a large number of officials, redundancy, and bloated structure. It is a waste of manpower and material resources and is costly." Xiao Rui said.

　　 Daxia is nominally 72 prefectures, but in fact, apart from Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Ganzhou and other dozens of prefectures, there are only three or four prefectures in the other prefectures, and the area is not large. Let alone Lu Dong.

　　 Daxia Kingdom does not have the official name of Ludong, it is just a private regional name. It is the regional self-declaration of the four states of Caozhou, Jeju, and Binzhou. In fact, these four states can be replaced by one province.

　　The reason why this happened in Daxia Country is because of the influence of many historical reasons, so I won't mention it for the time being, but this situation is a serious waste of resources.

　　 According to Xiao Rui's plan, there are too many seventy-two states, and two dozen are just right, just like in the previous life.

　　 Zhang Liang understood Xiao Rui's good intentions, but he still reminded: "It is assigned to the prefecture, the local clans, the clans, and the whole body are affected~www.ltnovel.com~ Your Highness must not be careful."

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Ovary, don’t worry, I understand this. Let’s talk about this Caozhou provincial governor. The king is exhausted. He goes to drink wine. If he can’t tell you how ugly you are, he must Cut him to behave like you!"

　　 Zhang Liang suddenly smiled: "This person is ashamed of a state parent official! And judging from the performance of the hundred households just now, this Caozhou provincial governor is not only faint, but also unfriendly to the general commander!"

After a pause, Zhang Liang went on to say: “A hundred guards of the city saw that our status was not simple, so he directly fell into trouble with the governor. One can imagine the attitude of the upper-level commander. Although the governor and the commander do not interfere with each other, But being an official in the same place, if there are constant gaps, then other things are even more messy."

　　 Xiao Rui nodded, and agreed: "The Zifang made sense. I came in a hurry this time. I didn't investigate the identity of Caozhou governor and the commander. Let me act by the meeting machine."

　　 Zhang Liang naturally has no objection.

　　 A group of people came to the governor's office. The governor of Caozhou was not there, but the co-chief of Caozhou was working in the office. Hearing that the prince was coming, he hurried out to greet him.

　　 Xiao Rui entered the house and shouted directly: "Go and send someone to call the governor of Caozhou. In addition, what's the situation of Lingxun in Caozhou now?"

　　 This fellow knower was so frightened that he couldn't tell a single reason. Xiao Rui was so angry that he really wanted to pull out the Chixiao sword and chop the servant.

　　 It didn't take long for the governor of Caozhou to come back.
