Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

When Dong Qing saw this, he felt somewhat ashamed and embarrassed, because these words were not his own creations, but were copied from later generations.

Chapter 745, I can do it anytime.

About half an hour passed.

Dong Qing and Qin Wang Zheng's entourage arrived outside Xinzheng City in Han.

Unlike the desolation, chaos, and starving corpses seen along the way, the area outside Xinzheng, the capital of Korea, was bustling with activity. This prosperous city was filled with merchants from the seven countries.

South Korea is located at a transportation hub, making its geographical location extremely important. Merchants from seven countries gather here, and through the city of Xinzheng, they can even purchase rare and exotic treasures that are scarce in all seven countries.

The Agricultural School, one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, spent a great deal of time managing Xinzheng. Not only did they secretly create the largest black market in the world, but they also established the Hidden Dragon Hall, which could only be participated in by the powerful figures of the seven kingdoms.

"Teacher, even Xianyang is not as prosperous as Xinzheng. This is the economic center of the seven states. According to your four core theories, Xinzheng is a very valuable capital city," King Zheng of Qin exclaimed.

He sincerely marveled at the prosperity of Xinzheng, a city in Han. Although the Qin state was powerful and had been attacked by the combined forces of the six states time and again, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, still could not compare with Xinzheng, the capital of Han.

Merchants from seven countries gathered here, and behind them were powerful figures from those seven countries. Unfortunately, as the host country, South Korea received most of the benefits generated in Xinzheng, but South Korea had nothing to do with them.

There's nothing we can do. South Korea is weak now and too easy to bully. Not only Qin can bully South Korea, but Zhao, Chu, and Wei can also bully South Korea whenever they want.

The weak have no voice.

South Korea is terminally ill.

The situation can be reversed by non-human factors.

It was precisely because he saw this that King Zheng of Qin traveled thousands of miles from Qin to Han to meet Han Fei, attempting to win over this royal prince of Han who was a master of Confucian culture and law.

“Xinzheng is indeed more prosperous than Xianyang, but nowadays, all that’s left of Korea is Xinzheng; there’s nothing else worth mentioning.” Dong Qing said calmly.

As he said.

In present-day South Korea, apart from Xinzheng, the rest of the cities are in dire straits. Even though Xinzheng is very prosperous, the prosperity is mainly driven by merchants from the seven kingdoms.

Because if the South Korean royal family and King Ahn were to actually come up with the money, they probably wouldn't have much to spare, and might even be struggling to pay the South Korean military's salaries.

"According to the teacher, if we take Xinzheng, we will also take Han?" King Zheng of Qin asked in a low voice.

"No rush. Let's consider this matter after His Majesty assumes full power in a year," Dongqing shook his head slightly.

Judging from the future strategic intentions of the Qin state.

If King Zheng of Qin wanted to conquer the six states, unify the world, and establish an unprecedented unified dynasty, the first thing he would have to deal with was the state of Han.

Fortunately.

South Korea today is not the South Korea of ​​the past.

There was once a saying in Korea: "The strongest bows and crossbows in the world all come from Korea." This saying alone is enough to imagine how powerful the Korean army was at that time.

During the reign of King Zhao of Han, he appointed Shen Buhai to implement reforms, which strengthened central authority and reorganized the military, greatly increasing the national strength of Han. Within a decade or so, Han's power was awe-inspiring among the seven states.

But things are different now. South Korea has weakened to the extreme, and even the current King Han Ahn has given up and is acting as if nothing has happened.

no way.

The neighboring countries were too powerful. Although it was located in the heart of the Central Plains, the State of Han was surrounded by the States of Wei, Qi, Chu, and Qin, leaving it with virtually no room for development. In addition, its land area was the smallest among the seven states.

In particular, the Qin state often liked to manipulate the Han state, using some unfounded reasons to manipulate it.

Today they cede dozens of miles of border, tomorrow they cede several more cities. Who wouldn't give up in this situation?

........

at the same time.

South Korea, Xinzheng, General's Mansion.

"A distinguished guest will be arriving in Xinzheng, Korea soon. Nightfall must cooperate with Luo Wang to protect that person. Otherwise, General, you should know the consequences. Luo Wang can make you the General, or..."

A young man dressed in black with black hair stood in the center, unafraid of the assassins wielding sharp blades around him. He knew in his heart that these assassins would not dare to touch a hair on his head.

A weak nation has no diplomacy, and a strong nation has no allies.

no doubt.

The weak country mentioned here refers to South Korea.

The powerful state referred to is naturally the Qin state.

Even if Qin's net stood on top of Han's night sky and defecated, Han's night sky would be furious but wouldn't dare utter a sound, because Han was far too weak among the seven states.

The strength of a nation directly affects the assassin intelligence organizations that rely on it. It was because of the strength of the Qin state that the Luo Wang (Net of the Assassins) was able to recruit countless desperados within the seven states.

"This is Korea, not Qin. Aren't you, Luo Wang, being far too arrogant?"

A tall figure sat on a high chair, looking extremely intimidating.

He was none other than Ji Muye, the great general of Korea, who was hailed as "the strongest general in Korea in a century".

He wielded immense power, was domineering and tyrannical, and was a cunning and treacherous old man.

Greedy for money and lustful, obsessed with power, and ambitious.

Although these words are all negative adjectives, they also indirectly illustrate that this general was no ordinary person.

In addition, Ji Wuye has an assassin intelligence organization called "Nightfall" under his command, and also has a deep cooperative relationship with the Qin state's "Net" organization.

Therefore, Ji Wuye is definitely not a simple-minded brute.

A man who can become a great general cannot be a brute.

"General, I have no interest in arguing with you about this topic. Next, the Net will be fully deployed to Xinzheng. I hope that the Nightfall will cooperate well with the Net." The young man's tone was very calm.

After saying that.

The black-haired, black-eyed young man turned and left, having no interest in continuing to waste words with Ji Wuye; he just wanted to finish the tasks assigned to him.

Not bad.

This was an order issued by Lü Buwei, the Prime Minister of Qin. The Net was to do everything in its power to protect King Zheng of Qin, who was hiding his identity.

Things are different now. Thanks to Dongqing's presence, the relationship between Lü Buwei and King Zheng of Qin is not so confrontational.

one.

This is naturally because Dongqing is an ally of Lü Buwei and also the teacher of King Zheng of Qin. He can speak to both sides, and the two of them even have a sense of harmony between ruler and subject.

Many things are missing a middleman, a middleman that everyone can trust, and Dongqing just happened to become the middleman that both of them trusted.

With Dongqing around, Lü Buwei believed he could abdicate peacefully in the future.

With Dongqing around, King Zheng of Qin did not need to worry about Lü Buwei being detrimental to him.

Secondly.

Dong Qing, a figure of sage-like stature among the ancient philosophers, supported the Qin state, causing other philosophers and followers of the Hundred Schools of Thought to also look at Qin with higher regard. They felt that Qin's strength was not just a flash in the pan.

In the chaotic Warring States period, almost every country was powerful at some point, including the state of Han. However, not every country's power could be maintained for a long time.

The fact that "Dongzi," who proposed four core theoretical ideas, so strongly supports the Qin state and even became the teacher of the current King Ying Zheng of Qin, shows that the Qin state's current strength can at least continue.

Not everyone can predict the future.

They can only predict the future based on the past.

That is, all powerful nations eventually decline.

In this day and age.

No one could have imagined that King Zheng of Qin would one day unify the six kingdoms, standardize the written language, the width of cart axles, and the weights and measures, thus establishing the first unified dynasty in the history of China.

The most important characteristic of a unified dynasty is that it abolishes the enfeoffment system in local areas and replaces it with the prefecture-county system, centralizing power and firmly controlling the entire country in the hands of the emperor.

Perhaps due to the immaturity of the new national system, King Zheng of Qin was exhausted, which wore down his health, and he had no choice but to die on his journey to seek immortality.

Thirdly.

Because of Dongqing, Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was a love-struck woman. As long as her emotions and desires were satisfied, she was a very obedient woman.

After Dong Qing casually said a few words, Empress Dowager Zhao Ji turned around and began to fully support her own son, King Zheng of Qin, which was actually what she should have done.

However, in that vanished time and space, this woman and her own son, King Zheng of Qin, were always at odds, and she even tried to kill King Zheng of Qin.

The reason for this is quite simple.

Before King Zheng of Qin assumed personal rule, the military and political powers of the Qin state were separated.

Lü Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, took charge of the government.

Empress Dowager Zhao Ji of Qin held military power.

Lü Buwei could have used the Luowang (a web of intrigue and intrigue) to assassinate King Zheng of Qin, but he wouldn't actually do it. At most, he would just scare King Zheng, because the fact that he only had daughters and no sons already showed that he had no intention of rebelling.

If Zhao Ji had instigated the Qin army to rebel, it could have cost King Zheng of Qin his life. And the fact that she did so in that vanished timeline demonstrates that she was a brain-dead woman.

Of course.

For Dong Qing, this kind of obedient woman, who blindly sides with her man, is not bad.

However, for King Zheng of Qin, encountering such a biological mother was quite unlucky in his life.

It is worth mentioning that.

Zhao Ji was severely vilified in later generations. She was simply mentally challenged, not promiscuous. She was not easily swayed by strong men. She certainly could not be considered a chaste and virtuous woman, nor could she remain chaste for a dead man.

However, she would never maintain relationships with multiple men. While King Zhuangxiang of Qin was still alive, she and King Zheng of Qin relied on each other for decades in the State of Zhao, and she never had any scandals. On the contrary, after returning to the State of Qin, many rumors began to circulate.

The ultimate purpose of these rumors is actually quite simple: to undermine King Zheng of Qin. If the rumors that he was not of royal blood from the Qin royal family were confirmed, King Zhuangxiang of Qin's other youngest son would have the opportunity to ascend to the throne.

Actually...

It's not surprising that a woman of high rank and power like Zhao Ji, the Queen Dowager of Qin, would have male favorites; it would be strange if she didn't. The ministers were well aware of this, but as long as such matters didn't harm the country, they could pretend not to see them.

But she's so brainless, this kind of love-struck brain is one thing, but why did she take it so seriously? She even went so far as to rebel against her own son for this male concubine. There's no one else like her with this love-struck brain.

Empress Wu Zetian of later generations had at least two male favorites by her side. At her peak, she openly built a harem and collected handsome men from all over the world, and no one criticized her for it.

If Dongqing had to choose, he would definitely choose Zhao Ji without hesitation. She may be a bit dim-witted, but she is devoted to her man and would never seduce other men while you are alive.

That's enough. There aren't that many women who will remain faithful after you die. When you die, you really lose everything. A good woman is one who can stay faithful while she's alive.

What a pity...

Later generations became so morally corrupt that even this simple requirement was beyond the reach of some.
