Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 213
It was also Ziying's intention to read out the number of casualties of the Qin army in public. The purpose was to frighten this group of Eastern Ou nobles.

Demonstrating the military strength of the Qin army is also to let the nobles of Dongou be more honest after they leave. Judging from the situation on the field, the effect is not bad.

At this moment, a Dongou warrior approached the hall quietly, and nodded to Luo Tian without saying a word.

Ziying was wondering what kind of medicine Luo Tian sold in the gourd.Luo Tian walked out and bowed to Ziying and said, "Reporting to His Highness Chang'an Lord, all 17 Dongou people who slandered the Lord in front of the gate of the village have been executed."

Ziying was taken aback when he heard Luo Tian's words, this Luo Tianxia was ruthless enough, but he just slandered himself a few words in front of the gate of the village, and then killed them all.

Even Zou Ling looked at Luo Tian with some horror, not understanding how the great witch doctor, who in his impression was kind-hearted and never argued with others, would suddenly do this.

However, Ziying thought about it and smiled knowingly.One of Luo Tian's actions was to please Ziying. After all, Dongou's life and death now depended entirely on Ziying's words.

The second is self-defilement. You must know that the dozen or so people killed by Luo Tian are not ordinary people. Those who are qualified to accompany Zou Ling to plead with the Qin army are all Dongou nobles or generals in the army. the upper layer.

Luo Tian's killing of Minyue directly reduced half of the high-level people, and these people not only slandered Ziying, but also accused Zou Ling. This is equivalent to the death of all the nobles who opposed Zou Ling in Eastern Ou.

And without Zou Ling doing it himself, Luo Tian took the stigma of flattering the Qin army on his own, and in the future, he would accuse Luo Tian and not Zou Ling when he was accused by the clan.

Thinking of this, Ziying smiled and said: "The great witch doctor's move is very suitable for me."

"I have one more request, please allow Mr. Chang'an." After saying this, Luo Tian continued.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since my predecessor's death, my Eastern Ou throne has been vacant for a long time. Now that the princess has returned, she should have taken the throne early. In order to reassure the people, I ask your majesty to agree." Luo Tian bowed his head and said bluntly.

"This is Dongou's family matter. Although Dongou belongs to Great Qin, it is different from Qin's prefectures and counties. It is inconvenient for me to interfere in this matter. It is better for Dongou to decide on its own."

Ziying thought for a while and replied, after all, this decision was about the succession of the entire Dongou Lord. With Ziying's support, although Zou Ling's ascension to the throne was a certainty, it was not suitable to be decided on the bright side.

After all, it would be no small crime if such a major event was found out by someone with a heart and stabbed to the King of Qin.

Hearing Ziying's answer, Luo Tian turned his head and said to the Dongou nobles who were still on the field: "The first king was murdered by a villain, and the only descendant is the princess. Now the throne is vacant, and the princess I want Ling should succeed the new king, what do you have to say?"

"We respectfully invite the princess to succeed you as the new king!"

Following Luo Tian's questioning, the rest of the Dongou high-level officials all spoke respectfully.

Needless to say, Zou Ling is the only descendant of the former monarch, and he is the most hopeful to inherit the throne. Just looking at the status of Lord Chang'an of the Qin State, one cannot disagree.

Although Ziying said that he would not interfere with Dongou's affairs, no one knew the relationship between the princess and Lord Chang'an. If someone other than the princess ascended to the throne of Dongou, he might not be able to live for a few days.

Intimidated by Ziying's despotic power, Zou Ling's ascension to the throne as Dongou Lord was decided democratically, fairly, justly and openly.

After several days of preparation, Zou Ling succeeded as the new emperor of Dongou under the witness of Qin Jun.And the great witch doctor Luo Tian also resigned from the position of great witch doctor on the same day that Zou Ling succeeded to the throne.

In the past few days, Ziying, who eats bamboo shoots and knows the taste, naturally sneaks into Zou Ling's bedroom every night in the dark, so there is no need to talk about what he is doing.

The next thing is to clean up the half-disabled Minyue Department.

Although Minyue is located further south than Dongou, if the Qin army rushed there by itself, it would be difficult to find the tribe of Minyue people, but with the guidance of Dongou people who belong to the same clan and have been hostile for hundreds of years, naturally they did not find it. There is no reason for the Minyue settlements.

Just as Ziying was mobilizing his troops and preparing to attack Minyue in the south, Lord Min brought a group of high-level officials from Minyue to Dongou to plead guilty to Ziying, and handed over a surrender form expressing his willingness to join Daqin.

After all, there are only about [-] young and strong people in Minyue, but this time they lost as much as one-third, and the dead were all carefully selected warriors in the clan.

Facing the Qin army guided by Dongou people, Minyue now has only two ways to surrender to the Qin army and go south.

To the south of Fujian and Yue is the current generation of Guangdong, Guangxi, and the miasma is so dense that even the Minyue people themselves are hard to guard against, not to mention that it is not a land without owners. The powerful Nanyue people have never been good people. Outsiders have always been exterminated.

Therefore, although he hated the Qin army for slaughtering his [-] people, and even beheaded his eldest son, he was more deeply afraid of the Qin army.

With Minyue taking the lead, in just half a month, the leaders of the remaining seven small tribes in Dongyue hurried to the main city of Dongou, handed over the surrender form to the Qin army, and surrendered to Daqin .

When they arrived in Dongou, after witnessing the tragic situation in the Minyue camp and the ferocity of the Qin army, the leaders of these tribes were even more terrified of Ziying.

The strength of the Qin army really made them unable to resist at all.

"The nine tribes of Dongyue were originally one family. It's just that after the collapse of the Yue Kingdom, they went their own way, which led to the division of one into nine. I don't know what the clan leaders think about the union of the nine tribes into one."

After the nine tribes of Dongyue handed in their surrender forms one after another, Ying called the clan leaders and lords of the nine tribes to discuss matters together.

As soon as Ziyingfang opened his mouth, he brought up an earth-shattering topic.

Although Ziying spoke in a questioning tone, the nine people present also understood that this young Qin general already had the idea of ​​combining the nine divisions of Dongyue into one.

As the saying goes, it is better to have the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.Except for Zou Ling, who is all focused on Ziying, I am afraid that no one here is willing to merge the nine parts.

Once the nine ministries are united, Yue people's self-management will not be as easy as submitting to the Qin State in name, and their autonomy will be greatly reduced, from aloof to being ordered by others.

"I don't know if the nine divisions are united, who will take the position of Yue Jun?" An old man present asked cautiously.

Ziying recognized that this person was the leader of the Yuyue tribe, Zou Fu.Because of the weakness of the Yuyue tribe, he does not call himself the king but the patriarch.

Most of the Yuyue tribe lived by the sea and made a living by fishing, and they always followed the Eastern Ou tribe.

"If you want to be the king of Yue, you must have the strength to overwhelm everyone. I suggest that the leader of the strongest clan among the nine clans be the king of Yue." Ziying said lightly with a smile.
