Xianyang Palace and the grassland beside Taiping Lake are filled with smoke and lively. Several huge canopies covered up the sunlight, which had become increasingly fierce.
Wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, Hu Hai was lying by the lake with sunglasses on. The float connected to a bamboo fishing rod on the side of the soft chair was rising and falling rapidly.
In such a noisy environment, there are still fish taking the bait. It is indeed the one who is willing to take the bait.
Under the canopy, in front of a long barbecue stove that was most common in later generations, Li Yan, Li Fei, Yu Ji, Long Jiao, Long Mei, Long Bing, Long Xue, Cui Niang Lu Zhu, Su You, Ying Zhen and several other women were sitting there. The red fire is grilling beef, mutton, pork, vegetables, etc. in a stylish way.
This barbecue stove was naturally tinkered with by Hu Hai. Although it is really hot to have a barbecue in the summer, who can make a group of children who already know how to make soy sauce love this new thing.
There were no eunuchs around, not even a few maids. Under Hu Hai's strong request, Li Yan and other girls all put on modern T-shirts and hot pants.
Although I was a little shy at first, I'm used to it now. After all, it¡¯s a bit uncomfortable to be wrapped in a robe in the summer, isn¡¯t it? The slender and pink arms almost sparkled in Hu Hai's eyes behind the sunglasses.
The little guys have grown taller. But he is much more sensible than a year ago. The sculpted children, wearing little vests and shorts with their little arms and legs exposed, sat in a row next to Hu Hai in order from the youngest to the oldest, with their backs straightened like little adults.
The same color of small sunglasses, the same color of T-shirt and big pants. In fact, you are as happy as you want to be. But obviously as they grow older, these children's awe and respect for Hu Hai are also increasing day by day.
After all, the people they usually come into contact with most are not dignitaries, but teachers and students from ordinary backgrounds in the academy. It is said that the children of the poor become the masters early, so why not the children of the royal family?
?Think about it as these children grow older. I am afraid that the awe of their father, who rarely gets to see them, will also become deeper and deeper. Regarding this point, Hu Hai was also extremely helpless.
The women beside the fire, dripping with sweat, were whispering in a low voice, and from time to time there were a few coquettish laughs.
Ying Chuchu, who was standing next to Hu Hai and carefully fanned Hu Hai, saw Yu Ji waving and quickly handed the fan in her hand to her sister Yin. She slid down from the soft chair and took a few grilled skewers with her in a short while. When the meat skewers came back, he said with a milky voice: "Father, eat."
Even though several little guys were staring at the barbecue eagerly, no one moved to get it themselves.
"Chu Chu is good. Come, father, to feed you."
Hu Hai took the meat skewers from Ying Chuchu's hand, blew them carefully and handed them to Ying Lekang, Ying Jingxi, Ying Yin and Ying Youning. Then he picked up the youngest Ying Chuchu and sat on his lap. .
"Father, eat first."
Ying Chuchu glanced at her brothers and sisters who were already feasting. insisted. It wasn't until Yuan stared at his father and took a bite that Ying Chuchu ate it deliciously.
Looking at these strange but sensible children, Hu Hai's heart almost melted.
It¡¯s just that the barbecue without cumin always lacks a bit of that feeling when eating it in Hu Hai. This feeling may just be a nostalgia for eating cold beer with friends at food stalls in later generations.
Soon he will leave Xianyang City to patrol the west. After this dinner party, I thought that I would not see these little guys again for a long time.
On the other side, although Li Yan and others heard soft laughter from time to time, everyone could feel the deep reluctance hidden by the women behind the laughter.
"Father, father, Chu Chu still wants to listen to the story that father told Chu Chu last time about flying to the moon."
Ying Chuchu, who took small bites of the barbecue in her hand, found a comfortable position in Hu Hai's arms and cried out in a sweet voice.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ªYing Lekang and the others heard what Ying Chuchu said, although they did not say anything. But the expressions on their faces revealed that they also had the same idea.
"Okay, okay, then Chu Chu tells Father, where did Father talk about last time? Father is old and has forgotten."
"Father is immortal."
"Father is not old at all."
Hu Hai just finished speaking. Several little guys rushed to retort.
"Haha, okay, okay, my father is not old at all, so where did you talk about last time?"
"I know what Father is talking about."
"I know it too."
"Okay. Let's talk about Father's good behavior."
¡¡
On the second day of July, the Royal Press took the lead in publishing that day¡¯s newspaperNews broke that the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the Holy Emperor Hu Hai, was touring the west. Then the next day, the Cabinet Office confirmed the news again.
However, this is also the last time in Hu Hai¡¯s plan to build momentum for the Royal Press. After all, every time the Cabinet Office is used to build momentum for the Royal Press, in the long run it will inevitably cause damage to the authority of the Cabinet Office.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the Royal Newspaper and the Cabinet Office officially informed the world about Hu Hai¡¯s western tour of Longxi and the Western Regions counties, Hu Hai had already arrived in Longxi County to govern Didao under the escort of 10,000 imperial troops.
For Hu Hai¡¯s safety, and at the strong suggestion of the Cabinet Office, the news of Hu Hai¡¯s western tour was announced almost twenty days later by the Royal Press, and then confirmed by the Cabinet Office.
In addition to the 10,000 Yulin troops, there were also three women, Li Fei and Long Jiao, who followed Hu Hai on his western tour.
On the seventh day of July, Hu Hai entered Wuhan City, which had become a fortress and a transit center between Guanzhong and the Western Regions. He stayed in Huhai, Pouhan City, for three days. On the tenth day of the lunar month, he left Pouhan City and headed north.
And during the time when Hu Hai was stationed in Panhan City. The 100,000 Longxi Army, which had been assembled long ago, left Pohan City ahead of Hu Hai and began to move north.
With Yumen Pass and Yangguan Fortress, Xiyu County, and Shache City, Li Xin's barbarian army has crossed the Kunlun Mountains. Longxi, Beidi, and Jiuyuan have gradually lost their status as the northwest gateway of the Qin Dynasty, and have become A veritable inland.
There are 100,000 White Tiger troops stationed in Xiyu County, and 5,000 guards are stationed in Wuhan Fortress and Zhi Didao in Longxi County. Together with the county government officials, it is enough to maintain local security in Longxi.
After verification by the General Staff Council, Xin Sheng's Longxi Army had received the edict issued by Hu Hai through the Ministry of War a month ago. Xin Sheng will command 100,000 Longxi troops to Jiuyuan to defend the Jiuyuan Fortress where the Jiuyuan Army is stationed.
As for the 100,000 original troops in Shejian, they continued to move northward and stationed themselves in various places in Pingyi County where Hu Zhong was the commander-in-chief of Mohur. Of course, the Jiuyuan Army will not only be stationed in Pingyi County.
Last year, Shejian had penetrated nearly a thousand miles deep into the Siberian Plain. This time, all the troops of the Nine Plains Army went north, obviously to better and more conveniently move north and west along the Yenisey and Ob rivers that flow into the Arctic Ocean.
Hu Hai went north from Panhan City mainly to take Li Fei back to the Golmud Grassland.
In the map of Da Qin, there is no place name like Golmud Grassland. Hu Hai ordered Longwei Mansion and Heibingtai to look for Li Fei's family, but he asked Li Fei specifically to find out the approximate location of the Golmud Grassland. After Heibingtai's careful field investigation, it turned out that Golmud, which was said to be a grassland, was actually just a meadow with a radius of no more than ten miles at the junction of Longxi and Beidi counties.
After all, Heibingtai still couldn¡¯t find Li Fei¡¯s parents and younger brother.
In fact, Hu Hai had already anticipated this situation. Ten years ago, counties such as Longxi and Beidi were not very stable, let alone a few years ago.
The Qiang, Yueshi, Xiongnu, Wusun and other foreign ethnic groups once roamed the deserts and grasslands outside Longxi and Beidi counties. Fighting between various alien races is even more commonplace. In war, the most harmed people are always civilians, not others. Unless Li Fei's parents and younger brother are extremely lucky.
However, that is obviously impossible.
After ten days of trekking, Hu Hai took Li Fei and Long Jiao Long Mei to the lush Golmud grassland on July 21st.
There are probably hundreds of herders living in the Golmud grassland with a radius of more than ten miles. This is the news that Heibingtai has long found out. It was even clear where these hundreds of herders migrated from and how many men and women they touched.
The Yuezhi people were driven away by the Huns, and the Huns were almost wiped out by the Qin Dynasty. The Qiang people either surrendered to the Qin Dynasty or fled. The various frontiers of the Qin Dynasty have never been as stable as they are now.
Because all the original frontiers have become the inland of Da Qin. Today's borderland Qin Dynasty should be thankful if it doesn't send troops to attack others.
Due to various reasons, the lives of these new residents of Golmud Grassland are also extremely stable. As people of Da Qin, although they are not native Qin people, after receiving Da Qin household registration, at least they will not worry about being robbed and exploited by the nobles and officials as before.
The officials of Da Qin have always been extremely polite and courteous. Compared with the Qin officials they had seen, the Huns were simply beasts.
The sudden appearance of 10,000 brightly armored forest guards on the small Golmud grassland did not alarm the herdsmen.
Counties in Daqin have promoted Qin language education as early as six years ago, including counties as far away as the Western Regions, Pingyi, and Hexi. The children of these herdsmen must also receive Qin language education. Fortunately,The most indispensable thing for herdsmen is horses. Although it is still some distance from the nearest county seat, it is not too far if you ride a horse. What's more, in order to take care of the Donghu, Qiang, Yuezhi and other foreign tribes who have surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, there will be dedicated people in each academy to take care of their horses, so they don't have to worry about the fodder.
Although they didn¡¯t know what level of officials from the Great Qin State were coming, the herdsmen could tell from the thousands of armored and brightly-ordered Imperial Guardsmen that the people coming to the Golmud Grassland must be high-ranking officials from the Great Qin State.
But no matter what high official he is, as long as he is part of Da Qin¡¯s army, he will definitely not harm people like himself.
PS: Some book friends asked me if it is almost over. Well, it is indeed coming to an end. In fact, I haven't really tried how to end a book. Fortunately, I have already had a rough outline in the past two days. I won't let you down.
