Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 103 The marriage hasn’t been decided yet, but the marriage has already started to protect one’s shortcomings!

"That's exactly what it should be!"

Qin Mo clasped his hands in agreement, then before he had gone far, he waved to the rear and shouted: "Jiang Xiong, come with your companions quickly to listen to the order."

"Here."

Fifty-six retainers of Lord Hengyang immediately came running to keep up with the imperial team.

However, when they ran away, Ying Zheng and Fu Su, as well as all the civil and military officials, were stunned.

Even the more than a thousand knights of the Imperial Guard, who held their heads high and their chests held high, looked at the scene with dull expressions on their faces. For a moment, they even forgot to call out to the strong wind during the interval between drums and trumpets.

Only a few of the guards seemed to be unaware of the situation and were still yelling at the strong wind.

But no one else shouted, only they shouted, which seemed very abrupt. Everyone suddenly came back to their senses and turned to look at the few guards.

This scene was quite social. Several guards grinned and stopped shouting!

Fortunately, everyone's thoughts were not on them, and they turned their attention away and focused on Jiang Xiong and others who were running.

Just now, the Spartan warriors were standing at a distance for review. Everyone just felt that the array was neat and orderly, and they were not surprised.

After all, the First Emperor personally came to review, and it was reasonable for them to want to show their spirit...

But now, they are running in a uniform manner, which is amazing!

It was uniform in the true sense. The fifty-six people were like one body, walking with the same feet and holding the same hands. Even the blood-red cloaks behind them vibrated at the same frequency as they ran!

"Let's go together... let's go~!"

The fifty-six people finally caught up with the imperial team. Following Jiang Xiong's shout, the running fifty-six people took two steps forward and then walked in unison, walking with the imperial team.

During the transition of travel, it is still orderly and not messy at all!

Qin Mo got straight to the point and said to Jiang Xiong and others: "From today on, you will train more than ten thousand Chunan infantry for His Majesty according to the method of training Yue warriors. Your clothes, armor and weapons will also be modified according to the Yue warriors."

"Your Majesty has issued an edict to properly resettle Han Cheng's family and set an example for the old tribes of the Six Nations..."

"In the future, you should work with peace of mind and live up to your majesty's loyalty. You can also earn military honors and titles, and your rich descendants will honor your parents!"

"I sincerely follow your teachings~!"

Fifty-six people stopped, bowed solemnly to Qin Mo, and then retreated to the end of the imperial chariot to follow him.

When Ying Zheng went to sea this time, he was accompanied by more than 20,000 troops. In addition to the original more than 10,000 guard knights, there were also more than 10,000 regular soldiers recruited from Chunan. They would also be the main force against the Restoration Army of the Six Nations in the future.

However, according to Qin Mo's observation, these more than 10,000 Chunan infantrymen may have only received initial training in the Yuanyang Formation when they were serving as soldiers last year, and their armor and weapons were all of the original Qin standard.

If you want to participate in the Baiyue battlefield with high mountains and dense forests in the future, you will need intensive training!

"It's no wonder that the nine tribes of Yue people are willing to respect them as heavenly soldiers and generals. Even I was shocked when I saw such an array. How did Aiqing achieve it?"

Ying Zheng looked away from the back of the team and asked Qin Mo.

Fusu and the civil and military officials all pricked up their ears when they heard the sound.

The generals in particular were eager to put their ears to Qin Mo's mouth and listen carefully to the secrets of military training.

"Da Qin's existing infantry formation training is sufficient to cope with battle formations."

Qin Mo did not show off the infantry drills of later generations, but shook his head and said: "Like these heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, blindly emphasizing neat formations will only occupy the training time of killing, drums, and flag orders, which is not necessarily a good thing!"

Cold weapon legion combat, array, kill, drum and flag order, all are indispensable.

In particular, Da Qin has a farming and warfare system where all people are soldiers. It is the last word to find a balance in the middle and allow soldiers to quickly form an army.

In fact, the more than a thousand Yue warriors were trained according to the Great Qin Infantry Training Code.

If we follow the infantry drills of later generations, I am afraid that this short period of time will not be enough to practice the formation, and it will definitely be too late to become familiar with the mandarin duck formation!

"My dear, please don't hide your secrets. This kind of formation training method may not be used by regular soldiers."

"But the garrison's elite soldiers are of great use, especially when Aiqing was in Chu, he presented me with a memorial on the reform of the military system, which has now begun to be implemented."

"In the future, the service time of the garrison warriors will be changed from one year to three years. There will be enough time to practice and master them!"

Ying Zheng said happily.

The elite garrison soldiers who served for three years did have ample time to train and thoroughly understand the infantry drills of later generations.

Combined with Da Qin's existing infantry training, the combat power will inevitably increase exponentially!

Qin Mo clasped his hands and said: "In that case, let Jiang Xiong and others teach the formation drill method to the Imperial Army."

"Your Majesty can order the generals of the imperial army to summarize it. If the generals don't understand something, they can ask me to clarify their doubts at any time. I will definitely not hide anything!"

This is his consistent style of doing things. Whether he is lazy in taking an overview of the overall situation, in short, he will not interfere in the implementation of details if he can.

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "Very good."

But the civil servants and generals who wanted to eavesdrop on the secrets of military training were disappointed.

In the military system of the Great Qin Dynasty, all generals above the rank of captain did not have the power to command troops in peacetime. Only when they needed to go out to fight, the emperor and the Taiwei Mansion would grant the tiger talisman appointment.

Therefore, these guys want to secretly learn Qin Mo's military training skills, not for themselves, but for their nephews who are low-level officers.

After all, if the nephews can learn Qin Mo's military training skills, they will surely shine in the army!

But now, Ying Zheng and Qin Mo are promoting it in the garrison, and it has become a bad military training secret, and it is no longer a secret...

"Your Majesty just said that the reform of the military structure has already been implemented?" Qin Mo asked suddenly out of curiosity.

Ying Zheng nodded: "Yes."

Qin Mo asked excitedly: "I wonder if the missionary officer's ideological teaching materials have been compiled?"

Ying Zheng nodded again: "It has been completed. I just need you to pick up the missing pieces and fill in the gaps. I have a set in my imperial account."

Qin Mo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, his anticipation palpable.

To be honest, Qin Mo has a lot of dissatisfaction with the current Qin army.

After all, he was used to seeing the people's soldiers of later generations, and Qin Mo's understanding of the army had already formed a fixed concept.

This is also the biggest reason why in Ying Zheng's eyes, he is extremely strict in running the army!

In fact, it was not Qin Mo who managed the army strictly at all, but other generals who were too indulgent towards the soldiers outside of military law.

As long as many things do not violate military law, generals will turn a blind eye!

Although Qin Mo has been improving military laws in recent years and wants to turn the Qin army into a true people's army, the results have been very little.

Now, all this finally has a great opportunity to change, how can he not be happy?

…

…

Later, when the imperial team returned to the imperial tent, Qin Mo asked Fusu to help him carry out a bundle of bamboo slips several feet long and as thick as an arm's length when rolled up. He couldn't wait to return to his tent to watch.

Feng Jie couldn't help but shook his head and said: "It's rare to see Prime Minister Qin be so diligent."

Li Si also followed: "Qin Xiangruo has been like this, how come we are so busy every day."

The other civil servants also sighed with emotion.

The prime minister is not just one person. There are dozens or hundreds of assistant officials who serve the prime minister specifically. If there are not enough, more can be added.

For example, Li Si was one of Lu Buwei's assistant officials back then...

Therefore, if the prime minister is diligent in political affairs, most of the pressure on civilian officials will definitely be shared!

However, since Qin Mo took office as prime minister, although he seemed to have an overview of the overall situation, the civil servants were inexplicably getting busier and busier.

In the past, Qin Mo's laziness and laziness were not discovered or seen through. The civil servants did not realize anything and could only secretly sigh that the political affairs of the unified Qin Empire were really complicated.

But now everyone knows that Qin Mo was forced to the prime minister's position by Ying Zheng and was forced to stay in the prime minister's position. The reason why everyone is busy is not because the government affairs are complicated, but because the prime minister is lazy.

It is impossible to say that everyone does not complain in their hearts!

"It was you who were looking forward to Prime Minister Qin's return. Now that Prime Minister Qin is back, you are also the ones complaining about him. If you are close, you will not be inferior and if you are far, you will complain..."

Yuan Man rushed to deliver dinner to Ying Zheng, happened to hear the conversation between the officials, and saw the officials' complaining expressions, so he couldn't help but complain sharply.

All the civil servants' expressions went dry. The previous sentence, "If you are close, you will not be inferior, if you are far, you will be resentful." This is because only women and villains are difficult to raise.

It’s clear, you’re just going around the corner and calling them villains!

This eldest princess, before she is married, or even before the marriage is decided, has already begun to protect her shortcomings. It is really... a woman is difficult to raise!

…

Qin Mo didn't know that his future wife had already offended all the civil and military officials.

He held the extra-long bamboo slip and read it repeatedly throughout the night, and added a lot of content, all of which were the concepts of the people's soldiers in later generations.

As for deletions, he did not delete them.

After all, Ying Zheng had already seen this extra-long bamboo slip. If he was dissatisfied with it, he would have deleted it long ago.

In other words, what Qin Mo saw at this time was approved by Ying Zheng.

Even though most of the whole article is about the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, Qin Mo felt that it was necessary to play against Ying Zheng.

Living in a centralized feudal era, this is inevitable!

Early the next morning, Qin Mo returned the extra-long bamboo slips to Ying Zheng, and at the same time presented the contents he added to Ying Zheng.

By the way, have some breakfast!

"Well, Aiqing has thought carefully about it and it is very appropriate. Let's decide on the teaching materials for missionary ideology."

Ying Zheng was eating fish ball noodles and immediately agreed after reading what Qin Mo added.

Just as Qin Mo understood Ying Zheng, being an emperor requires those contents of loyalty to the emperor.

Ying Zheng also understood Qin Mo, the prime minister's ambition.

Loyalty to the emperor and love for the people are not in conflict with each other!

Qin Mo put down the bowl, stood up and bowed his hands solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand: "The content added by Ai Qing is conducive to long-term peace and stability. It is better than the doctors who compiled this book. How can I complete it?"

"On the contrary, I should reward you for your good intentions!"

Qin Mo was stunned and said happily: "Are you going to reward me?"

Ying Zheng stopped eating noodles, with noodles in his mouth. Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Qin Mo warily, and said vaguely: "I will issue an edict to reward you for your service."

The imperial edict was issued to reward him, which meant that the treasury paid for it, which blocked Qin Mo's intention of targeting his inner treasury!

Qin Mo smacked his lips, seeming a little disappointed, and then said: "I don't want rewards, I just want some talents from your majesty."

"Today I will lead the nine tribes of the Yue people to move to the inland area of ​​the Tieshan tribe to cultivate fields and build soldiers and armor, but I have no management talents. I hope your majesty will be considerate!"

This was agreed upon. Qin Mo led the Yue people to farm and prepare for war, and the imperial court sent officials to assist in governance, trying to ensure that the Yue tribes who were willing to surrender had adequate food and clothing.

The heart that Ying Zheng was holding was immediately put back into his stomach, and he said boldly: "Who do you want, Aiqing? Just submit the list, I will approve it at any time!"

As long as you don't try to get Naonneku's idea, everything can be easily discussed.

Qin Mo was well prepared and immediately took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve. Zhao Gao stepped forward to take it, unfolded it and presented it to Ying Zheng.

"puff……"

Ying Zheng only took one look at it and spit out the noodles in his mouth.

Fu Su and Yuan Man were startled by the side, and hurriedly joined Zhao Gao to comfort me, and at the same time glanced at the paper.

The brother and sister were very curious about who Qin Mo wanted, so that his father was so surprised!

The first two names on the white paper were Feng Jie, the imperial censor, and Li Si, the court lieutenant.

These are the two with the highest official positions among the hundreds of accompanying officials, except Qin Mo!

Further down, there are also names of some civil servants accompanying the driver, written clearly on the paper!

Yuan Man looked funny and exclaimed in his heart that it was well done.

These old guys, who are not inferior when they are close but resentful when they are far away, should be thrown into the deep mountains and forests and be rectified!

Ying Zheng finally managed to calm down his coughing, and said hesitantly: "Why do you want to name Feng Jie and Li Si? You must know that I can't live without two members of the Qing family?"

As he said that, he glanced at Yuan Man who was gloating about his misfortune.

Yesterday Yuan Man complained about the civil servants, but he knew that it was not this spoiled Nizi who encouraged Qin Mo to do this, right?

Ying Zheng had such an idea in his mind, but he rejected it after a moment.

After all, although Qin Mo is lazy, he is never ambiguous when it comes to state affairs, and he definitely doesn't play tricks!

"When the Yue people are newly attached, if officials are assigned to govern them, they must be supervised carefully to avoid self-defeating. Therefore, it is not possible to use these two people."

Qin Mo replied firmly.

This is a very real problem. Officials are aloof and bossy over the people of Qin.

Facing the uncivilized Yue people, I am afraid that they will become even more arrogant, and they must have strong supervision and pressure.

As for the Yushi doctor Feng Jie and the Tingwei Li Si, one is in charge of supervision and the other is in charge of the Supreme Court. If an official does something bad, they can collect evidence and convict him without having to report it to Ying Zheng.

It is undoubtedly the best surveillance deterrence!

"Okay, I agree."

Ying Zheng put down the bowl, picked up the brush and drew a circle on the paper, and handed it to Zhao Gao, saying: "Quickly draft an edict and send it to the ministers, asking them to pack their bags and follow Qin Qing into the interior to govern the tribes of the Yue people.

."

"Here."

Zhao Gao took the paper, immediately polished his pen next to it, and began to draft the edict on bamboo slips.

Ying Zheng, his two children, and Qin Mo continued to have their farewell breakfast.

…

At three o'clock in the morning, all the officials came to the imperial tent after breakfast, intending to communicate with Yingzheng to handle political affairs.

But as soon as he arrived outside the tent, he met Zhao Gao head-on.

"It's just right. I'll save it by looking for them one by one."

Zhao Gao bared his teeth in joy, not without gloating about the misfortune, unfolded the bamboo slips in his hands and said: "His Majesty the First Emperor issued an edict, ordering the imperial envoys Feng Jie and Tingwei Li Si... to immediately pack up their bags and follow the Qin Prime Minister into the inland to govern the Yue tribes!

"

Thank you emperors for the rewards! I have been so busy recently that I forgot to make a list! I will make up for it later!
