Chapter 372 Wang Li's Unparalleled Edge!
Compared to others, Ying Zheng was very optimistic about Wang Li. Wang Li was extremely talented. The biggest reason why he was not as amazing as his father Wang Ben in history is that the era of Wang Li did not come.
The war to annex the six countries and unify the Central Plains ended at the hands of Wang Jian and his son. What is left to their descendants is how to rebuild a new era after the war.
This is the matter of a civil servant!
This made Li Si the world last.
Wang Li was born in the wrong era. Without the baptism of war, it would be difficult for a person to grow up. Not everyone is the champion Hou Huo Qubing, as well as the general governor of the Wu Kingdom and Prime Minister Lu Xun during the Three Kingdoms period.
Once you get up in white clothes, you can fight a war that changes the direction of the situation.
Such a person is rare in the ages and is a true genius.
Such people are rare in the world. There are only two people in this era, one is Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, and the other is Han Xin.
In addition, more people climbed up from the bottom and trained through repeated killings.
Wang Li belongs to the latter!
Therefore, this time Ying Zheng was nominally led by Zhang Han, but in fact, this time he conquered the northwest was to train Wang Li and Meng Shu.
He wanted to let the Old Qin faction produce talents. Even if God did not give him a peerless talent, then Ying Zheng would be forced to feed him with supreme power.
Even a pig can become famous generals, not to mention that Wang Li and Meng Zuo both came from military families.
The blood of war flows in my bones!
Most importantly, history has proved their loyalty. Compared with Han Xin and others, Wang Li and Meng Shu became loyal ministers.
For some people, it is enough to be a tool for people.
Ying Zheng had already expected these things and had some ideas. As a result, he did not send the most suitable person to conquer the northwest.
If it weren't for the purpose of cultivating Wang Li and others, Ying Zheng would have sent Xiang Yu to conquer the northwest, which was the most beneficial to the Qin Empire.
However, Xiang Yu had a special identity. Even though he was as domineering as Emperor Shin-chan, he had to leave a point in his heart.
Doubt is in the heart, this is the instinct of an emperor. Even if a loyal minister is a minister, he must keep his hands on it. If he has more thoughts, he will have more retreat.
As an emperor, you must have countless trump cards. Only in this way can the world be stable.
Therefore, the only one who can become a trusted minister of Ying Zheng was the old Qin people, and they were retainers who were always loyal to the Qin royal family.
Therefore, it is imperative to cultivate Wang Li, Meng Zuo and others, whether for the Qin royal family or the Qin court.
A country and a court must have factions.
For Ying Zheng, forming a clique is not a big problem. As long as he is not private, it is within the scope of his permission.
Only when factions exist can the emperor balance it with the emperor's mind, so as to ensure that the empire is in the hands of the emperor.
Ying Zheng himself could suppress all voices, but he could not guarantee that all of his descendants would be emperors as strong as him.
If a foolish king like Hu Hai appears, without factions to restrain each other and the empire will fall apart, it is only a matter of time.
Ying Zheng is deliberately creating the Shandong Department and the Lao Qin Department at this moment, which is for the sake of future generations.
When the Tianxia Academy is established, there will inevitably be academies. At that time, the political forces within the Qin Empire will become more complicated.
In this way, it will be more conducive to the inheritance of the Qin Empire.
...
"Your Majesty, General Zhang Han has led a large army to pass Longxi County, among which General Wang Li serves as the vanguard general and has entered Qingqiang."
He suddenly walked into the study and reported the news from the Black Ice Platform to Ying Zheng one by one. He knew Ying Zheng’s thoughts in his heart, so he was extremely concerned about Zhang Han’s leadership of the army to conquer the northwest this time.
Even this kind of concern is far away from the Wucheng Marquis Wang Jian leading the army southward and attacking the extreme south.
He exchanged news with Yao Jia. Although he didn't know much about the extreme south, he also knew a little. There was only the savage tribe in the extreme south, and he was not the opponent of the Great Qin Ruis at all.
However, in the northwest, not only the remnants of Rongdi, but also the peak of the Great Yuezhi. It is clear that the son of the Xiongnu Shanyu is now the proton in the Great Yuezhi.
It is clear whether the Huns are strong or not, which shows how terrifying the Great Yuezhi during this period was.
This is a real big country!
"Wang Li entered Qingqiang?"
With a whisper, Ying Zheng walked to the huge map of the Qin Empire in the study, his eyes fell on the land of Qingqiang, and a glimmer of light flashed through his eyes.
The land of Qingqiang is equivalent to Qinghai in later generations. It is not only a salt lake, but also a large amount of refined salt can be produced.
More importantly, the Sun and Moon Mountain here is located in the overlapping area between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is a natural dividing line between the river basins inside and outside Qinghai Province, and divides agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization.
Sun and Moon Mountain has always been an important channel for the "Qianzhong Road", "Silk South Road" and "Tang and Tibet Ancient Road" in history.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the "Silk South Road" opened due to the blockage of the Silk Road in the Hexi Corridor, namely, the Sun and Moon Mountain, Qinghai Lake, and the Qaidam Basin to the Western Regions.
The "Tang-Tibet Ancient Road" opened in the Tang Dynasty even entered the northeast from the southwest and left Heyuan to Lhasa, running through the hinterland of Hainan Prefecture.
Sun and Moon Mountain is the key point in history of alliances, marriages, wars, and "tea and horses" trading.
On the east side of Sun and Moon Mountain is the agricultural area of Qinghai, with fertile fields and scenery on the south side of the Yangtze River; on the west side is an endless pasture and grassland, with vast grasslands and herds of cattle and sheep, which is a scene outside the frontier.
The top of Sun and Moon Mountain is composed of Tertiary purple sandstone, and the mountain is red, called "Chiling".
Compared to Sun and Moon Mountain, Ying Zheng prefers the title Chiling.
What really made Ying Zheng care about was that Chiling has always been the throat of the Mainland's road to Tibet.
Whether in the Han, Wei, Jin, Sui, Tang and other dynasties, they were outposts and barriers under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains dynasty.
Ying Zheng once received a piece of news from Li Kang's memory, which was related to Chiling. In the first year of Emperor Ming of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the monk Song Yun traveled west from Luoyang to seek scriptures, and then went to Chiling to Tianzhu.
Today, India is during the Mauryan Dynasty. Ying Zheng had longed for that Buddhist land for a long time.
However, the country has not yet been calmed down, and the roof of the world has not yet been conquered, Ying Zheng had to suppress his thoughts and start to be down-to-earth.
Therefore, this time of conquest of the northwest, Ying Zheng issued a death order to Zhang Han, and he had to take down Chiling.
