Chapter 492: Is It Worth It?
If Feng Zheng didn't have a huge family behind him, or a person who didn't have anything to worry about, then he could choose not to go back, after all, he was destined to be used as a scapegoat, and although he wouldn't die if he went back, he would definitely be imprisoned to calm the anger on Lu Zhe's side.
Compared to Lu Zhe not attacking Qin, even if the Feng family has served the Qin State for more than a hundred years, even if Feng Zheng and his father Feng Quji used to be the left prime minister of the Qin State, a Feng Zheng is nothing!
Lu Zhe was implying that Feng Zheng could not go back, and what he expressed meant that Feng Zheng could stay and work for him.
But would Feng Zheng do this? Obviously not, Feng Zheng has too many ties on Daqin's side, it is nothing for a huge family to lose a certain member, not to mention that he does not have to die to go to prison, even if Feng Zheng will be cut off his head, Feng Zheng will definitely go back.
With a feeling of lost soul, Feng robbed away, and when he left, he didn't strut when he came, and some were just in a twilight-like mental state.
Dong Fei, who came with Feng Zheng, Lu Zhe didn't know if he was wrong or something, but at that moment, he saw Dong Fei showing a sneering expression.
Dong Fei has always been inactive, although the deputy envoy should not be more active than the main envoy, but Dong Fei is always deliberately lowering his sense of existence, not the kind of embodiment of respect for the envoy who knows how to respect and humility.
"What is he sneering at?" Of course, Lu Zhe wouldn't drag people to stay and ask, but he could feel that something was wrong in his heart.
I'm not mistaken, Dong Fei is Zhao Gao's person, Zhao Gao and Montessori don't deal with each other, and even Zhao Gao doesn't deal with Wang. Montessori represents the boss of the Shandong system of the Qin dynasty, and the Wang family is naturally the boss of the Qin system, and there was originally a Chu system, but it was uprooted by Yingzheng when Cheng Jiao rebelled.
According to what he said, Feng should be the younger brother of the Montessori Shandong line, Dong Fei sneered at Feng Zheng, who was about to be unlucky, doesn't that mean that Dong Fei's position is still on Zhao Gao's side, so there will be a subconscious sneer. But...... Since Dong Fei is still on Zhao Gao's side. So why don't you treat Lu Zhe, Zhao Gao's son-in-law?
The thought only flashed in Lu Zhe's mind for a moment, but it was unnecessary for him to think about such a trivial matter with his heart.
In the following period of time, Lu Zhe did not receive any envoys again, not because he was unwilling but because he was entangled by Yan Bi, Kuai Tong, Deng Jun and other messy guys.
Yan Bi and Deng Jun are here to explore the matter of not changing the flag, and even the two guys have made several samples of the flag, embroidered with the word "Lu", what "Nan", "Ling" and other miscellaneous things.
What do you mean? Is it possible to set up a banner indiscriminately? There are several kinds of flags, one is the name of the country, and the other is the surname of the general who leads the army. One is the name of sending troops for the oath of the army.
Naturally, the country name cannot be set arbitrarily, Yan Bi himself does not have much cultural literacy, but he actually built yƬ to use Lu Zhe's clan as the country name, what kind of nerve is this. However, Deng Jun, who was with him, also said that the Lu family was inherited from Jiang Ziya, and there was also a Ji family's Lu country in the Spring and Autumn Period, which had a history, and Lu Zhe had every reason to set the country name as Lu.
Are you kidding! It is impossible for Lu Zhe to use the word "Lu" as the name of the country, what is the big Lu and Lu Guo, others may not think that there is anything. But the key is that Lu Zhe himself feels awkward.
Oh, "Nan" is the name of the country, that depends on Lu Zhe's rise in Nanjun, which is a county directly under the central government. The administrative city is Namneung, so it is necessary to establish a country called "Nangu".
Lu Zhe almost burst out with a chant of "grass mud Mara Gobi" at that moment, and such an awkward name in the south can also be imagined. And the south of the country...... With such a regional country name, do you want to stay in the south forever?
If you take the name "South", you are destined to stay in the South? No, no, no. In fact, the regional nature of the country name is not the basis for restricting expansion, and Lu Zhen's "three views" are not correct to have such a strange idea.
Liu Ji...... Oh, it's Liu Bang. Wasn't he named King of Hanzhong? Of course, Hanzhong is Hanzhong County, but after dominating the world, "Han" has not also become a country name. As long as you can dominate the world, the regional "number" will be accepted by everyone, and it will be pleasing to the ears when you talk and listen to it.
In short, even if Lu Zhe really knows how to build a country, he will not use any Lu country and Nanguo to become the country name, he was forced to shout in a hurry: "Even if Lao Tzu chooses 'Han' as the country name, he will never have any Lu country and Nanguo." No matter how bad Lao Tzu is, he will replace Qin, learn Tian's family, what! ā
Ha!? The eyes of the people who heard Lu Zhe shouting out such a sentence in anger lit up, it was the first time they heard their own boss say that they had the desire to build a country, as long as they were willing to build a country, it would be easy to discuss!
If they are willing to build a country, then they will all become the founding heroes of a country, and in an instant, everyone was so excited that goosebumps all rose all over their bodies, and some people even cried bitterly with excitement.
Throwing off a bunch of nervous guys, Lu Zhe didn't have time to catch his breath but was blocked by Kuai Tong and Xiao He, the two of them came to discuss the war in the south, and there were also some things about the other countries.
After all, for more than a year, the Qianshou under the rule of Lu Zhe has been accustomed to "receiving tasks" from the government, Xiao He's plan is to hire the Qianshou to continue to repair the Nanling city defense, and for the roads in various places, such as Nanjun to Hengshan County, as well as Changsha County, Cangwu County, Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, these territories with better environments implement the construction mode of "segmented confluence" mode.
What is a segmented confluence? Isn't it that the head of a certain county will build local roads, and then each county will implement the contracting system, wait for the roads in each county to be available, and finally connect those roads specifically?
Lu Zhe was very happy that Xiao He proposed such a "new concept" in contemporary times, he affirmed Xiao He's idea, and after praising a few words, he didn't have time to say anything more, and Kuaitong interjected.
Not to mention the lack of people in Changsha County and Lujiang County, there are not many Chinese people in the newly established Minnan County and Nanhai County, and it is quite difficult to hire Qianshou. There is another one, spring is coming to an end, and God always likes to join in the excitement when the seasons change in the south, and it is absolutely a rare thing that it does not rain for a while.
The seasonal rainy season, in the ecological environment where the primeval forest has not been destroyed on a large scale, the chaos of the season is indeed like to rain, according to many inquiries and determinations, the more southern the land the rainy season will come earlier, and the continuous rain will be longer.
"Yes......" Lu Zhe was also a little worried: "That means that before the end of the rainy season, the troops in Minnan County, Nanhai County, especially Lingnan, need to store enough food and rain gear!" ā
"Not only is it heavy, but the rainy season also has a very big constraint on our offensive, and we may have to change our strategy and maintain a certain amount of pressure on Baiyue, but we will no longer attack on a large scale." Kuaitong is a military advisor, and everything must be considered for the military aspect: "Also, it is imperative to build roads, no roads mean that the occupation of the Minnan Army and Nanhai County will not be stable, and if the southern army has no road extension, I am afraid that with the increase in the distance of advance, it will become more and more difficult to supply in the future." ā
Speaking of which, the same is still road construction, the counties that Xiao He pays attention to have been developed, Kuaitong attaches importance to the newly occupied territory, and their common idea is to solve difficulties even if there are difficulties, and road construction must not be stopped lightly.
"I remember...... It seems that there are more than 70,000 prisoners in the pipeline? Lu Zhe asked.
Xiao He immediately rushed to answer: "Yes, Lord." After a pause, he glanced at Kuaitong, who wanted to speak and was robbed of closing his mouth first, and continued: "But, Lord...... Those prisoners of war were all arranged to go to the mines, and you made a plan that the number of iron soldiers produced per month should not be less than 5,000, so ......"
Therefore, it is very difficult to transfer those prisoners of war to the south to build roads, unless Lu Zhe can "change" the labor to replace mining.
Lu Zhe covered his forehead, as if he was moaning: "Changsha County should have more prisoners in the first battle." ā
Kuaitong finally had a chance to speak: "Hehe, it's a bad thing to leave prisoners. ", but no, Baiyue is a barbarian, and barbarians are usually difficult to discipline, so they have killed all of them," the minister's Jianyi was transferred out of the team with rich experience in road construction...... How? Right! That is, the troops called by the Lord called 'engineering teams' were transferred south to build roads, and the rest of the counties hired labor from the people, as the ruler said. ā
It turned out to be the idea of fighting, but Lu Zhe always felt that the south was not peaceful, not only could the head of Qiantou not go, but although the engineering team was an army in nature, there was really no score on how many combat skills there were. Furthermore, if you look at Kuaitong, it means to keep the road open at all costs, then it must be dead, and it seems that many people will die, and it is not easy to train an engineering team, so it will be thrown directly into the primeval forest where even the army is a little frightened...... Lu Zhe felt pity no matter what.
"Lord, when it is broken, it will be broken!" Of course, Kuaitong knew that the losses would be great, but as long as he could serve the southern expedition and make the southern expedition smooth, let alone throw 50,000 people into it, even if the loss of 100,000 people could guarantee that he would take the south and rule the south permanently because the roads were open, it would be worth it.
Is it? Even the loss of manpower is worth it, and it is worth it to rule a territory as large as permanently, and to seek so much living space for future generations, 50,000, 100,000, 150,000, 200,000...... Are these acceptable?
"What time did you expand your territory without sacrifice?" Xiao He was muttering to himself: "The direction we are moving in is a territory that the Chinese have never been to, and there is a wider land after conquering Lingnan, which is at least thirty times larger than the entire Central Plains, not to mention that there are islands full of gold (copper) after crossing the sea." ā
Well, those are what Lu Zhe usually said when he was chatting. (To be continued......)
