The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 803 Overseas Enfeoffment (I)

Now she was going to send her only son to be crowned king in that place where even dogs would shake their heads and cry, where the environment was harsh and full of dangers.

After this separation, the mother and son will see each other only a few times in this life, and they are truly separated from each other.

She never asked Ying Zheng for anything in her entire life, whether for herself or for her son.

She had always been well-behaved, docile and dutiful, but after learning about this, the heartache and despair made it impossible for her to remain calm.

She begged Ying Zheng with tears streaming down her face. Her miserable cries were so heartbreaking that anyone who heard them would cry.

Her request was very humble. She did not ask for her son to achieve great success, but just to be made a county king without any real power.

As long as the children do not leave the capital, it is fine for them to live a simple life. Safety and health are better than anything else.

But Ying Zheng still made up his mind to refuse.

This is the fifth prince whom he values, who has been smart and strong since childhood. How could he let him become an idle parasite just because of his mother's temporary reluctance?
What's more, the child himself doesn't want to be a parasite all his life. As his son, with his blood flowing in his veins, the child has ambitions in his bones and is eager to achieve success.

Although Yunnan is primitive and wild with a harsh environment, it is also an undeveloped treasure land with rich resources and huge potential.

Being a king who holds all power there and building up a local empire is a great blessing and a good future for this child compared to Chunhua's background.

Because of this, Chunhua fell seriously ill and it took him more than half a year to recover.

The sixth and seventh sons of the emperor were born to beautiful women of the Qiang ethnic group. Their mother's family was of humble origin, so they were sent to Jiuyuan County to be county kings, and were also in charge of supervising several counties.

The tenth and eleventh sons of the emperor were born to beautiful women from the Qin people. They were born into wealthy families. Their mother's family was a famous and prominent family in Guanzhong. They were sent to Dingbian County to be princes and guard the northern frontier.

The twelfth prince Shi Yao was the son of Wei Xianxian. This child was quite capable, so he was sent to Liaoxi County to be the King of Yan. Liaoxi County was renamed Western Liao Kingdom and was ruled by him.

Although Wei Xianxian was extremely reluctant and her eyes were red from crying, she also knew that almost no one could change Ying Zheng's decision, not to mention, there was Chunhua's example.

Moreover, compared with going to a completely wild place, although Liaoxi County is bitter and cold, it is close to the Central Plains after all, and it already has cities and infrastructure, which is not bad.

She found it hard to accept it at first, but after comparing herself with her other sisters, she felt much more comfortable and was able to accept it instantly.

I am afraid of comparison in everything.

The thirteenth prince Hengjiu is the son of Jingwei. This child took the initiative to volunteer and was willing to guard the border for the Qin Dynasty.

This child inherited the talents of Ying Zheng and Jing Wei. He has extraordinary abilities, a strong character, and is quite ambitious.

It’s a pity that Jingwei’s background is too poor, so he has no chance of becoming the supreme ruler.

He was also aware of his limitations, so he made a prompt decision, took the next best option, and volunteered to occupy key points in order to carve out his own foundation.

He also had a "military advisor" to give him advice, her sister, the fourth princess Ying Yan, whose husband was Zhang Liang.

Ying Zheng admired his decisiveness and ability, and appointed him King of Yan, and made the strategically located Liaodong County his fiefdom, renaming it the Eastern Liao Kingdom.

In the same year, Ying Zheng officially sent the fourteenth son Huacheng, the son of Honglian, and the fifteenth son Dazhuang, the son of Feiyan, to lead troops to invade the Korean Peninsula and completely annex the still chaotic Korean Peninsula.

I can only say that it went very smoothly. After all, the gap is too big to be measured in miles.

The Korean Peninsula was divided into four counties in the north and south. Liaoyan and Pyongyang counties were called East Korea, and they became the King of East Korea.

The two counties of Baekje and Silla were called the Dongchao Kingdom, and Dazhuang was the King of Dongchao.

This division and naming is quite in the bad taste of Ying Zheng.

As expected, after hearing the news, Honglian burst into tears and became a tearful person.

She lived in the prosperous heart of the Central Plains all her life, with fine clothes and delicious food. Later, she married to the capital, which is the best place in the world, and enjoyed all the splendor. Her life was truly happy and fulfilling.

She has always looked down upon wild and barren lands.

All I've heard is how bad the wilderness is, how harsh the environment is, and how hard and difficult life is (although these are indeed true).

My son has become a king, a prince of the highest rank and with great power, and can be the ruler of a country. This is a good thing, but!
What is that place?

She even went to find Ji Qiong to learn about Liaodong. Before she even returned to her own palace, she burst into tears in Ji Qiong's palace and almost died from crying.

Ji Qiong was at a loss as she couldn't afford to offend Honglian, the beloved concubine of Ying Zheng.

No wonder Honglian was crying. Liaodong was bitter and cold enough, and now she was going to the even poorer, more difficult and wild Korean Peninsula. Just think about it, it's obvious that it's not a place for people to go. But Ji Qiong couldn't even cry. She didn't know what to do with her son, even if the prince wanted to live a hard life, it was impossible.

Honglian wanted to ask Ying Zheng to revoke his decision, even if it would be fine if his son no longer became the King of Han, but Mingzhu persuaded her not to go and cry in front of Ying Zheng.

Mingzhu knew that when it came to such a major matter as enfeoffment, almost no one could change what His Majesty had decided.

It is useless to ask for it now. It will be useless and will disobey Your Majesty, making Your Majesty feel annoyed. This is too stupid.

Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well beg for mercy from your Majesty, take advantage of your Majesty’s slight sense of guilt, strive for more favor, and try to have another son!
Fei Yan also had a lot of difficulty in adjusting her mentality. Although she originally did not have much hope for her son to sit on the supreme throne, she never expected that he would be eliminated so soon, and be sent to that miserable place.

That miserable place is full of barbarians and savages. It is poor, backward and terrible. How much suffering must my son have to endure!
The person Feiyan loves most besides Ying Zheng is her own child. Now that they are separated, she doesn’t know how long it will take before they can see each other again.

With her personality, she shed tears silently in front of Ying Zheng, and no one knew how many times she cried.

It's not that Ying Zheng was completely unmoved. It would be a lie to say he didn't feel heartbroken. As humans are not plants or trees, how could they be heartless?
But Ying Zheng did not change his decision at all. He resolutely carried out everything that was decided. The empire's grand strategy could not be changed!

Ying Zheng did not just abandon his two sons and ignore them. This time he gave them a large amount of supplies, money, land, and titles.

Through high rewards and generous treatment, more than 4,000 households were immigrated and assigned to the fiefdoms of Huacheng and Dazhuang as the basic population for construction.

The conquest of new areas must be a four-pronged structure.

The top layer is naturally the royal ruling class, followed by the powerful management class, and then the ordinary immigrants who serve as the backbone and manage small areas. Even ordinary immigrants, after arriving at the local area, as long as they are not too useless or bad, they can become the main backbone.

Below them are the local indigenous people who are ruled, and they are further divided into three levels.

The first category is those who actively cooperate with the Space Force. They will be absorbed into the management team, and their status will be high or low depending on their ability and degree of obedience.

The second category is the obedient citizens, who have no ability and lack of subjective initiative and can only go with the flow. They are normally arranged as civilians, registered and given names and surnames.

The third category is the traitors! All of them will be reduced to slaves, and will not be given the opportunity to cause trouble. All of them will be sent to Shenzhou to exchange for supplies! The empire is so big, there are plenty of places to arrange!
Daqin does not care about the original class identity and status of the local indigenous people. On the contrary, the higher the status and the greater the power, but the less cooperation, the greater the harm will be and needs to be dealt with in a timely manner.

But no matter what we do, it is not too difficult. After all, it is a crushing of the civilization level, which will bring everything better.

What was mainly destroyed was the original local ruling class. After this group of people was destroyed, it was easy for ordinary natives to embrace the new and better era.

Anyway, I'm not afraid of resistance, the princes have strong backing behind them! Fight? What I'm least afraid of is fighting!
If local senior officials are replaced in a timely manner, they can be absorbed into the management level, which is beneficial to governance.

But if you are shameless, then kill them! Who is afraid of whom? This is a conquest by an external power, with absolutely strong backing, so there are not so many concerns.

The constructed port also came in handy, using convenient sea transportation to transport materials, greatly reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

He also paid special attention to building trade between Daqin and the Korean Peninsula. He personally used tribute from Korea, promoted it extensively, and spared no effort to help build the economic development of the Korean Peninsula.

All problems are economic problems. The better the economy gets, the faster Huacheng and Dazhuang will be able to truly take over the Korean Peninsula.

The sixteenth prince Zhenji, the son of Ji Qiong, was originally of noble blood, but was eventually implicated and was eventually conferred the title of Prince of Dai County.

The child was very unwilling to accept this, he also had ambitions, he also wanted to be the ruler of a country, he was not afraid of hardship, he just wanted to be the boss!

Now conferring him the title of a prince is already a special favor.

The seventeenth prince, Youze, was the son of Princess Gui Wan of Qi. Due to the special status of his mother's family, Ying Zheng had no plans for him for the time being.

The eighteenth prince, Yi Guang, was the son of Yan Lingji. Because his mother was too favored, he was specially named the King of Minyue and given a fiefdom in Minzhong County.

Yan Lingji was overjoyed. She had never imagined that one day her son would become a prince!
It was far, it was hard, it was chaotic, but he was a prince! He was the ruler of a country with real power!
After all, that was her hometown, the Baiyue area, and she had a natural sense of closeness to it.

Besides, the land of Baiyue is definitely better than the bitter and cold Liaoxi and Liaodong, or the wild Korean Peninsula, right?

Although she was reluctant to part with her son, her joy outweighed her sorrow, and the joy diluted the sadness of parting.

She once again sighed that the best decision she had ever made in her life was to rescue the prisoner.

If I hadn't been caught, who knows what would have happened to my life?
It’s nothing like now, with both sons and daughters, reunited siblings, the love of a husband, wealth and glory, and perfect happiness.

Given her background, her son could actually become a king and enjoy hundreds of miles of territory. Since entering the palace, her life has been as beautiful as a dream.

In fact, before she entered the palace, she didn't even dare to dream about it.
