Chapter 343 Ying Zheng changed his mind!
In this world, there are not many people who are really clean, let alone forces like Confucianism.
Now it is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Ying Zheng naturally would not be abusive to these people. What he wants is absolute control. He can definitely do the destruction of various schools of thought for the sake of the Qin Empire.
Therefore, he didn't care about the people of Xiaoshengxianzhuang at all. If he lost the Xiaoshengxianzhuang where Xunzi was stationed, he had already lost his deterrence.
What's more, he was the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and it was not difficult to destroy a saint.
In history, Ying Zheng did not think that he could not do what Zhu Yuanzhang did, but he felt that it was unnecessary. As long as Confucianism bowed its head, it would naturally be safe and sound.
After pondering for a long time, Ying Zheng suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart and walked onto the huge map in the study. After pondering for a long time, a new plan in his heart was completely formed.
Now, the Lingqu has been half built, and he has prepared almost all the time for the Baiyue War, but this time he wants not only the three counties of Baiyue.
There is also the entire Indochina Peninsula. In Li Kang's memory, there are Chameng rice, which is ripe for two a year, and it can be basically planted in the south.
If the entire Indochina Peninsula is occupied and the southern part is combined, the food crisis of the Qin Empire will be further resolved, and in this way, the population edict will be perfectly implemented.
As soon as he thought of this, Ying Zheng made a decision in his heart. He knew in his heart that this choice was not difficult.
However, today's Great Qin still has various schools of thought that have disrupted the situation and have not yet been completely integrated into an iron plate.
The thoughts flashed in his mind, and after pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng said to Zhao Gao: "Transfer the imperial edict, Wang Wan, Wang Jian, Zuo Zheng and others entered the study!"
"promise."
Nodding and agreeing, Zhao Gao turned around and left. He could feel the aura emitted by Ying Zheng, as well as the cruelty and ambition that Ying Zheng had only when he annihilated the six kingdoms.
Almost in an instant, he knew that the Qin Empire was probably going to fight a war. After all, he hadn't seen such a Ying Zheng for a long time.
Moreover, Emperor First Emperor himself was a warlike emperor, or the Ying clan, there was no one who was not wary.
...
A moment later, all the ministers led by Wang Wan and Wei Liao rushed to the study room of Xianyang Palace.
"I am paying homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years, and the Qin for ten thousand years!" It took a long time since the small court meeting was held, which made the ministers a little puzzled.
After all, the Qin Dynasty had just held a grand dynasty meeting. At this time, it was not necessary to hold a small dynasty meeting. The most important thing is that the giants from various schools of thought entered Qin. At this time, Ying Zheng should target the various schools of thought, rather than hold a small dynasty meeting.
In the Great Qin Empire, Ying Zheng could only make the decisions on all kinds of schools of thought, and the others were not qualified at all.
"You all don't have to be too polite!" Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and signaled the ministers to take their seats: "Pour tea by yourself!"
"promise."
Nodding and agreeing, Wang Wan and others quickly took their seats, then poured a cup of tea and waited for Ying Zheng's order. They all knew that there must be something important to enter the palace this time.
"My dear friends, I plan to start the war of the Southern Expedition of Baiyue first after the completion of the Lingqu Canal. However, this battle, the Southern Expedition of Baiyue is just the beginning."
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng signaled to Zhao Gao and said, "Take out the map!"
"promise."
Nodding and agreeing, Zhao Gao walked towards the side hall. At this time, Wang Wan's expression slightly condensed: "Your Majesty, I don't know that it has decided before. Once the Central Plains is in trouble, will you take the Northern Expedition first?"
"And the Touman Shanyu is eyeing me and provoking our Great Qin Empire. Such all kinds of things are intolerable!"
"The Qin Dynasty and the people were preparing for the Northern Expedition. Why did Your Majesty suddenly want to start the Southern Expedition first?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at his ministers with a torch, and said, "The Foreign War Department has heard that there is a kind of grain crop called rice on the land further south than the Baiyue Land."
"The yield of this kind of rice is the same as that of the corn in Guanzhong of Daqin by the local area, but in Lingnan and other places, at least on the entire Chu land and the entire Yan land, it ripenses twice a year."
"And it only takes about fifty days from planting to maturity. Once you get the seeds of this kind of rice, it means that the grain output of my Great Qin Empire can be repeated."
"The most important thing is that if we take over the extreme south, the Qin Empire will be equivalent to an additional natural granary!"
"What Your Majesty says is true, is it really familiar to you every year?" At this moment, Datian Ling Zuo Zheng looked solemn. He saw a kind of hope in Ying Zheng's words.
A hope that people will never starve to death on the Central Plains, and that will be the prosperous era of the Qin Empire.
"This is the news from Yao Jia, and it is naturally true. Therefore, I decided to conquer the Baiyue land first, and then take down Yelang, Jucheng and other countries."
"Then go south to the extreme south. In this process, the surrendered soldiers and young soldiers can form a large army of slaves to travel from Xianyang to the extreme south."
"In this way, it will be a great convenience whether it is for military use or for transporting grain. Moreover, the Baiyue land has a good climate and is suitable for growing this kind of rice."
...
"Your Majesty, if there is such rice, our Great Qin Empire must be taken down. Only in this way can the Great Qin Empire have a prosperous era."
At this moment, the wary prime minister Wang Wan was the first to speak out to start a war. As the prime minister of the Qin Empire, Wang Wan naturally knew what food meant.
As long as there is food, the population in the Qin Empire will increase rapidly, and even reach an extreme at once. This is what the Qin Dynasty and the people are eager for.
"What the left prime minister said is very much, and I also think that we should go south to this place!" At this moment, Wang Jian spoke, and he knew in his heart that Ying Zheng's discussion was just to tell them.
"Um."
Nodding, Ying Zheng felt relieved. With the support of Wang Jian and Wang Wan, the attitude of the entire Qin court was basically the same.
At this thought, Ying Zheng looked at the ministers and said, "The commander of the Nanzheng was Ren Xiao, Shen Tu and Zhao Tuo. Although they knew the land of Baiyue, they were not famous generals in the world."
"Originally, I intended to let Marquis Wu Cheng go south, but I consider that Marquis Wu Cheng is old and the Qin Empire also needs to train new military generals."
"I plan to let Han Xin and Xiang Yu go south, let Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo lead a 100,000 army to conquer Baiyue, while Xiang Yu and Han Xin lead a 100,000 army to conquer Yelang, Jucheng and other places."
