Chapter 139 Peacock Dynasty?conquer must conquer
When Ying Yu walked into the Qilin Hall in a huff, he immediately attracted the attention of all the officials.
"See His Royal Highness."
"I have seen His Royal Highness."
After seeing Ying Yu, all the officials, big and small, saluted one after another.
The attitude is extremely respectful.
"Good morning, my lords."
Ying Yu responded one by one with a smile on his face.
Then he strode towards his seat.
Ying Yu is now the crown prince, and his current seat has been moved to the high platform, not far below Brother Zheng.
Soon, brother Zheng with dark circles under his eyes appeared on the throne.
With Brother Zheng's arrival, the court officially began. 33 Novel Network
"Now that the territory of the Huns is owned by our Great Qin, how should the land of the Huns be governed? Do you have any good suggestions?"
As soon as the court meeting started, Brother Zheng posed a difficult problem.
When the officials heard the words, they immediately started discussing.
For Daqin, it is indeed a great joy to expand the territory, but the grassland is different from the Central Plains, and how to manage it has caused headaches for all officials.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the people of the Xiongnu tribe be moved to our Great Qin territory to prevent the Huns from repeating themselves."
"Then move our Daqin people to the northern grasslands to consolidate the grassland rule."
As soon as Meng Yi's words fell, he was opposed by Feng Quji.
"Your Majesty, the northern grasslands are not suitable for farming at all. If the people of our Great Qin Dynasty are forced to move there, we may cause people's resentment."
"What Feng Xiang said is true, and on the prairie, there is no danger to defend. How to defend and ensure the safety of our Great Qin people is also a big problem."
All the officials had different opinions, and they argued for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a good solution.
"Prince, what do you think?"
Brother Zheng, who hadn't received a satisfactory answer for a long time, looked at Ying Yu.
As soon as Brother Zheng finished speaking, the eyes of all the officials focused on Ying Yu.
The Huns were brought down by the crown prince, and everyone wanted to hear Ying Yu's opinion.
Seeing this, Ying Yu stood up, saluted Shi Huang respectfully, and said loudly:
"Father, my son's suggestion is only four words, that is: use offense instead of defense!"
As soon as this remark came out, Brother Zheng and all the officials were taken aback.
"Replace defense with offense?"
With a puzzled look on Meng Yi's face, he saluted Ying Yu respectfully:
"Please make it clear, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Ying Yu nodded, then came to the world map, pointed to the northern grassland and said:
"The vast grassland is really not suitable for defense, but my Daqin has millions of armors, why should I defend?"
"Everyone, please see that the only ones in the northern grassland who can threaten my Great Qin are the Da Yuezhi and Donghu."
"Since the existence of these barbarians poses a threat to our Great Qin, why don't we eliminate the threat."
"Father, my son suggests sending troops directly to destroy the Da Yue Clan and the Dong Hu. In this way, I, Da Qin Beibei, will have no worries about the future."
"Without any worries, it will be much easier to manage the northern grasslands."
All the officials looked at Ying Yu in disbelief.
Replacing defense with merit is easy to say, but the manpower and material resources required for it are simply astronomical.
Besides, Daqin's treasury has long been empty.
If Ying Yu hadn't destroyed the Xiongnu not long ago and brought back nearly a million cattle and sheep, there would have been a large-scale famine in Daqin long ago.
How to send troops when there is no food?
However, brother Zheng was a little moved at this time.
As an emperor, the greatest achievements are nothing more than two.
The first is internal stability, the people are rich, and the country is strong.
The second is to expand the territory.
However, these two achievements cannot be achieved at the same time.
If you want internal stability and people's prosperity, then you can't go to war without arbitrariness.
However, as the first emperor through the ages, Yingzheng said that he wanted both.
In fact, after Ying Yu wiped out the Xiongnu, Zheng Ge, who saw the sweetness, had already given birth to the idea of using troops against the Da Yue Clan and Dong Hu.
As for the food issue, Brother Zheng wasn't worried at all, because of the fairy food Ying Yu gave him.
He had already secretly arranged for Weiyang Lord Yingxi to plant it.
"The old minister does not agree with His Highness the Crown Prince's view of substituting offense for defense!
Jiang Taigong once said: Although a country is big, it will die if it is warlike! "
"Your Majesty, my Great Qin has been plagued by natural disasters for many years, and the national treasury has long been empty. It is completely unable to support the war. At this time, it is king to recuperate and recuperate."
"Master Zhang is right. Whether you win or lose a war, it consumes a lot of energy. If you win, it's fine, but if you lose, then my Great Qin will be in danger of being destroyed."
"His Royal Highness has destroyed the Xiongnu. I believe that Dayue Clan and Donghu have already got the news. The two clans must be prepared. It would be unwise to send troops at this time. It is a good strategy to make friends with each other."
After some contemplation, many civil servants stood up to object.
Hearing this, Brother Zheng had a look of hesitation on his face.
Although he also wanted to send troops to attack the Dayue Clan and Donghu, what the officials in the audience said was true.
Although potatoes, sweet potatoes and other fairy foods have been planted, Brother Zheng has no idea how much the yield per mu will be.
If the yield per mu is worrisome and the war in the north is at a stalemate, then Daqin will be really in danger.
Thinking of this, Brother Zheng looked at Ying Yu again.
Governing a country is not the same as fighting on the battlefield.
What is needed for this court discussion is not to make a quick decision, but to weigh the pros and cons and choose the most suitable plan.
In Brother Zheng's opinion, Ying Yu still lacked too much in this regard.
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Brother Zheng hesitated, and the corners of Ying Yu's mouth rose slightly.
It seems that it is time to teach the officials a lesson.
Thinking of this, he came to the world map again and pointed out:
"This area must be familiar to all adults."
Everyone searched for their prestige, and saw that Ying Yu was pointing to the land of the Huns.
So they all nodded, of course they are no strangers here.
"So this area, do you adults understand?"
At this time, the place Ying Yu was pointing at was in the south of the prairie, separated from Daqin by a mountain.
Seeing this, all the officials shook their heads.
Obviously they didn't know where Ying Yu was pointing.
Seeing this, Ying Yu took out a ballpoint pen from his pocket.
Then, under the suspicious eyes of everyone, wrote four big characters:
Peacock Dynasty!
"Everyone, there is a huge country in this area, and that is the Maurya Dynasty!"
"The Peacock Dynasty?"
All the officials were even more puzzled. How come the Peacock Dynasty is so close to the Great Qin Dynasty? Why have they never heard of it?
Even Brother Zheng had doubts on his face.
"His Royal Highness, how does the Peacock Dynasty you speak of compare to my Great Qin Dynasty?"
When Ying Yu heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The land area of the Peacock Dynasty is larger than my Great Qin, with a population of more than 3000 million, and its national power is even greater than my Great Qin."
"What? 3000 million people?"
Feng Quji suddenly exclaimed.
You must know that the current population of Daqin is only about 500 million.
Brother Zheng was shocked even more.
He did not expect that such a powerful country existed so close to Great Qin.
Not only the land area surpassed Daqin, but even the population also surpassed Daqin.
Still so close.
Conquer, I must conquer this Maurya Dynasty.
At this moment, Ying Zheng's ambition of being one emperor through the ages was once again ignited.
