Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 115 With people from this country, why worry about the downfall of the Great Qin Dynasty!
"Jijiu Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together!"

……

The sound of the chant was desolate. At this moment, the villagers lacked arms and legs, which made them even more desolate and tragic.Seeing this scene, the three of Hu Hai were moved.

"There are people from this country in Daqin, so why not be happy!" Ying Heng said loudly when he was young and passionate.

……

Hu Hai shook his head silently, speechless.

……

The old man Lizheng laughed and said: "Your Majesty issued an edict to punish the treacherous minister Zhao Gao, and even defeated the bandit army. He will definitely be able to rebuild the Great Qin."

Hearing this, Hu Hai already had tears in his eyes, silently wiped them away, and asked in a hoarse voice: "The Great Qin Empire has fallen into such a situation, His Majesty is the chief culprit, don't the people of the country hate it?"

The clan elder sighed: "The Great Qin Empire exists, and although the people of the old Qin are barren, they are still people with a country. If your majesty is defeated and the country of Great Qin is destroyed, just like the six kingdoms of Shandong, it will be the sorrow of the people of the old Qin!"

"People who are subjugated, even poor and lowly people can bully each other. The old Qin people have feuds with the Kanto countries. If the Great Qin Empire dies, how will the old Qin people's fate be better!"

……

Hu Hai did not expect that all the elders of the Guanzhong clan would have such insight.He is deeply aware of the situation that the Great Qin Empire and the old Qin people are in the same line, one is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged.

For a time, I was filled with emotions!
Old man Lizheng smiled slightly, and said, "What are you talking about? It's a happy event for the village to have guests today. Brother, serve the meat."

The clan elder nodded silently, and said loudly: "Eat meat—"

"Yes!"

……

After replying, the young man walked to the bonfire, took out a dagger, and cut the roasted wild sheep into many pieces of meat of the same size very neatly.

The girls in the village divide the pieces of meat among everyone's plates, and pour a big bowl of rice wine for each one.

After dividing the pieces of meat, the clan elder stood up, pulled out a wooden sword from his waist, pointed at it solemnly, and recited aloud: "In the mid-spring of February, God gave me meat, everyone is equal, and the clan prospers—eating meat !"

……

For a while, the villagers laughed happily, and each grabbed the piece of meat in front of them and put it in their mouths.Seeing this scene, Hu Hai felt a little uncomfortable.

From this scene, it can be seen that there has been no meat in the village for a long time.If it weren't for me and others coming here by mistake today, I'm afraid the village still wouldn't eat meat.

Thinking of this, Hu Hai silently made an oath in his heart - I want everyone in the Great Qin to have clothes to wear, I want everyone in the Great Qin to have meat to eat, and I want the people of Great Qin to be in the middle of Qin as far as the Guandong!
……

Just when Hu Hai made his great wish, the old man Li Zheng and the clan elders bowed their hands to the three of them, "Please—eat!"

When he came back to his senses, Hu Hai also smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you. Eat!" Amidst the laughter, he ate the roast lamb with the villagers.

……

Back at Lao Lizheng's house, it was already the end of the third watch.There was only a three-bay brick-and-mud house in Lao Li's main house, and after a few conversations, Hu Hai and his party slept with their clothes on in the thatched hut on the side.

……

The next day, Hu Hai woke up early in the morning.After washing up, he said his farewell: "Old man Lizheng, there was a lot of disturbance last night. It's already dark today, and the younger generation is leaving!"

The old man was waving his hands and said: "You don't want to stay for a while, just stay at the old man's house!"

Hu Hai bowed deeply to Lao Lizheng: "Old man, the Great Qin Empire is in danger, and we, as old Qin people, can't stay safe. I decided to go to Xianyang to enlist in the army after finishing Lintao!"

"Do your part for Da Qin!"

The old man bowed solemnly: "The guest has ambition, the old man is waiting for the good news!"

Hu Hai cupped his hands, turned his head to Han Tan and the others, and said, "The villagers haven't gotten up yet, let's go now."

"Yes!"

……

The sun has not yet climbed to the top of the mountain, and it is still bright in the valley.Hu Hai and his party walked out of Mizoguchi until Lao Lizheng's figure could no longer be seen.

At this time, Hu Hai slowed down.

The reason why Hu Hai left early was not to say goodbye to the villagers.It was because the old Qin people were too enthusiastic, and he didn't want to see the scene of Yiyi saying goodbye.

"Your Majesty, the Qinzhong land was supposed to be extremely rich and become the granary of the empire. But the situation in the village makes people worry and cry!" Han Tan looked solemnly, and glanced back at the village that was getting further and further away.

Hu Hai said in a deep voice: "This place is by no means a special case. There must be countless barren lands in the entire Great Qin Empire. Continuous wars and protracted labor."

"Countless Guanzhong old Qin people have been buried for the Great Qin Empire. Whether it is the Northern Army or the Southern Army, the core personnel are all the old Qin people in Guanzhong!"

"Although the father's decision was wise, he turned the prosperous and prosperous Guanzhong into a desolate and dilapidated place." Speaking of this, Hu Hai sighed quietly: "If Daqin wants to revive, I'm afraid it will be far more difficult than when Duke Xiao was."

Ying Heng interjected, saying: "If the people are not strengthened, if the country is not enriched, I am afraid that the Great Qin Empire will always be at a disadvantage!"

Hu Hai waved his hand: "I was just surprised by the poverty of the people of Great Qin, not to say that Great Qin will be at a disadvantage in this world war!"

Ying Heng and Han Tan were shocked: "Your Majesty, how do you say this—!"

Hu Hai frowned, and said: "The battle of the world lies in the Guandong. As long as the homeland of the Great Qin is not lost, and Hangu Pass is in hand, Guanzhong can be as stable as Mount Tai."

"Even if there are wars raging all over the world, it will not affect the homeland of Guanzhong. There will be plenty of time to recuperate."

"I came out this time to take a look at the old Qin people in Guanzhong's attitude towards the empire and me. As long as the old Qin people dare to fight, Great Qin will definitely win."

……

After half an hour's rest, the group cleared up and set off.Hu Hai was walking in the middle, with some thoughts in his mind.

He knew that Liu Jiyuan was in Liaodong, Xiang Yu was in Jiangdong, and it was Qi who first provoked Xiang Yu.All these things have nothing to do with the Great Qin Empire.

As long as the time is right, the rehearsal of the Great Qin New Army will be completed.It is completely possible to feed wars by fighting and eat by seizing land.

……

After leaving the village, Hu Hai took Han Tan and Ying Heng, and the group crossed Nanshan Mountain, and went deep into Chencang Road, and made a careful survey of Bashu Hanzhong.

After more than a month, when Hu Hai walked out of Hanzhong, he went northwest from the Ziwu Valley dangerous road in the middle of Nanshan Mountain to Ji County.Going straight westward through the source of the Wei River, and then along the Great Wall, he visited the entire Longxi.

At the beginning of May, when the farming season was busy, Hu Haifang came from Didao to the southwest and arrived at Lintao County (now Min County), the starting point of the Great Wall.

……

"Your Majesty, it's the time for farming. The crops in Lintao County are growing very well this year. If there are no natural disasters, it will be a bumper harvest!" Han Tan said with a hint of joy in his tone.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Hu Hai was noncommittal.His eyes were complicated, and there was a flash of thought.

This is not only the starting point of the Great Wall, but also the hometown of Hu Hai's descendants.

……

After a long silence, Hu Hai sighed quietly: "The crops are pleasing, which is very good. Han Tan erected a monument here. From now on, this mountain will be called Erlang Mountain!"
