In Panyu, Prince Ying Zheng was saying goodbye to the Qin army soldiers who came to see him off. !
In this experience, Ying Zheng did not have any privileges. Like ordinary warriors, he rushed to the front, was injured, and bled. He did not complain about being tired, but was brave and fearless, and won the love of the warriors of the Qin army.

If Bai Yue hadn¡¯t been pacified and there was no need to hide his identity as the prince, the sharp warriors who rushed with him wouldn¡¯t have known that he was the prince. Now, Ying Zheng is about to return to Xianyang, and these warriors are very reluctant to leave him, and they all come to see him off.
"It is the blessing of the Qin State to have such a brave and fearless prince who does not seek privileges. Who can not be happy about it?"
"Prince, take care!" These warriors were reluctant to leave with tears in their eyes.
"You should also take care of yourself!" Ying Zheng returned the greeting with fists in his hands, tears in his eyes, and he was very reluctant to give up.
This experience left a deep impression on Ying Zheng. He personally experienced the life of a warrior in the Qin Army and made many friends, some of whom he acquired in exchange for his life.
Although the Qin army's victory over Baiyue was smooth, it was not without danger. Ying Zheng encountered several dangers and almost died. Fortunately, he was rescued by sharp soldiers and survived. Of course, he also saved Rui Shi, and several times he almost lost his life trying to save Rui Shi.
What relationship is the strongest?
The strongest friendship is the life-and-death friendship on the battlefield!
As the prince of Qin, he was willing to take risks and sacrifice his life to save others. This moved the Qin army's elite soldiers deeply.
"Prince, you must take care of yourself!" You Rui Shi choked up even more.
Ying Zheng wiped away his tears and said: "My friends, you must cherish it! You must cherish it!"
Turning the horse's head, patting the horse's back, he drove away. If he stayed any longer, Ying Zheng couldn't guarantee whether he would cry.
There is a saying that "men don't shed tears easily", but it's not the time to get excited. Now on this occasion of separation, Ying Zheng is particularly excited. His nose is sore and he really wants to burst into tears.
Meng Tian, ??Meng Yi and Wang Ben rode after them, all silent. Like Ying Zheng, they have made many good friends through this experience, the kind that they don't want to say goodbye to. However, Qin Yiren had a decree for them to return to Xianyang with Prince Ying Zheng, so they had to go back.
Ying Zheng and others returned together with the 200,000 Qin army soldiers who went north.
The journey was uneventful, and we soon arrived at Guilin. We took a short rest and replenished some food and grass.
Then head north. After passing Wuling, we returned to Changsha.
When we returned to Changsha, the whole Changsha was in a sensation because the Qin army went south this time and expanded thousands of miles of land. It can be said to be a grand event in China. Who can not be happy?
Not to mention, Chu State has owned the land of Baiyue for hundreds of years, but it cannot actually control it. To pacify Baiyue is the aspiration of every Chu person. Now, the Qin army has done it, and these Chu people are all happily beating gongs and drums and coming to welcome them.
Changsha is enveloped in a festive atmosphere, which is even more joyful than the Chinese New Year.
After resting in Changsha, the 200,000 Qin troops then headed north. Their destination was the Northland to prepare for the defeat of the Xiongnu in the coming year.
Ying Zheng took Meng Tian, ??Meng Yi, Wang Ben and others back to Xianyang.
It is now the early winter season. However, the whole of China is in full swing and is joyful, because after Qin Yiren's decree was issued, a large number of Qin troops began to mobilize towards the north.
Although the Qin Dynasty did not say it clearly, anyone who is interested can guess that when the Qin Dynasty mobilizes a large number of troops to go north this time, it must be to deal with the Huns, because there is only one enemy in the north. Who else can it deal with?
Furthermore, not only the army is being mobilized in large numbers, but also ordnance, grain and grass are transported from various places to the north.
For this transportation, Qin Yiren did not assign corvees, but handed it over to the merchants. After receiving this big deal, these merchants immediately recruited a large number of people. It was impossible to cover up this matter. Everyone knew that the Qin Dynasty was going to attack the Xiongnu.
As for the transportation of ordnance, food and grass, it is much more convenient with a transportation network that mainly consists of straight roads.
Historically, before Qin Shihuang built a straight road, when transporting grain from Linzi to Jicheng, only one or two shi of 100 shi of grain could be transported, and the rest were consumed on the road. Even these two stones of grain were dug out from the teeth of the peasants.
After the straight road was built, the amount of grain transported from Linzi to Jicheng amounted to eighty or ninety shi. This efficiency suddenly increased dozens of times, which was extremely amazing.
Now, under the auspices of Qin Yiren, the Qin Dynasty has built a transportation network mainly composed of straight roads and supplemented by good roads, making it much more convenient to transport grain and grass.
On every road, there will be long convoys, like long dragons, rolling northward, which is extremely shocking.
Defeating the Xiongnu and stabilizing the northern frontier, this is the aspiration of every descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. The people of the country really want to work and contribute. However, the new corvee law of the Qin Dynasty stipulates that the corvee must not exceed one hundred miles from where the home is. They just want to Not even doing corvee service.
This has made the people of the country very anxious. In order to help the Qin Dynasty fight against the Xiongnu, the people of the country finally thought of a way, that is, to donate money and food. Donating money and food was allowed by Qin Fa. They donated desperately, and their titles increased rapidly, with many people donating to the eighth rank. According to Qin law, people who donate money and food can only get the eighth-level nobility at most. If you exceed the eighth-level nobility, you have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, or govern a party to get it.
"However, the enthusiasm of the people of the country is too high, and they have to donate even if they don't need a title."
In order to defeat the Xiongnu, the entire Qin Dynasty was in a state of excitement. If the Qin Dynasty was a chariot, this chariot had already rumbled into motion.

Xianyang, the Imperial Palace, go to the study room.
Qin Yiren is handling official business and looks focused. At this moment, Ying Zhengfei seemed to rush in. With a happy face, he saluted Qin Yiren and said, "Your Majesty, you have met your father."
"Zheng'er." Qin Yiren put down his official duties, jumped up, walked over quickly, his eyes widened, looked at Ying Zhenghao, and praised: "Well, after the experience, you are more capable, I hope you will come No slacking off.¡±
"Father, you don't even know whose son the emperor is." Ying Zheng boasted as usual.
"You kid." Qin Yiren scolded him with a very fond smile.
"Zheng'er, Zheng'er." At this moment, Zhao Ji's surprised voice was heard, and she rushed in like flying, rushed over, hugged Ying Zheng in her arms, and looked at her carefully.
"Zheng'er, I want to kill my mother." Zhao Ji burst into tears, caressing Ying Zheng's cheek with both hands, overflowing with motherly love.
"It's all you, you don't need any experience, and you've made Zheng'er suffer. Look at Zheng'er, he's darkened and lost weight. Mother feels distressed." There is no mother who doesn't love her son. Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng for a while, feeling extremely distressed. He complained about Qin Yiren.
"Mother, don't blame your father. A jade cannot be made into a weapon if it is not polished. My child has understood a lot of things after this experience." Before Qin Yiren could speak, Ying Zheng excused Qin Yiren.
"He has tortured you like this, and you still say good things to him. Are you the flesh that fell from your mother's body?" Zhao Ji glared at Ying Zheng, then smiled with a smile, and kept praising: "Zheng'er Although he is a little thinner and darker, he is more capable, and at first glance he is a great boy."
"Then tell me, is it better to practice or not to practice?" Qin Yiren asked Zhao Ji with a smile on his face.
"Okay. I know you, father and son, have something important to say, so I won't disturb you." Zhao Ji did not answer the question, but retreated wisely.
"Come, Zheng'er, tell your father." Qin Yiren pulled Ying Zheng and sat down.
Ying Zheng responded and spoke in detail about the experience.
After listening to his detailed description, Qin Yiren looked at the many scars on Ying Zheng's body and was very satisfied. He praised: "Scars are the merits of a man. You have so many merits, which proves that you have not been lazy in your experience. Okay. ! As expected of my son!"
Ying Zheng has more than a dozen scars on his body, which proves that he has practiced very hard. Otherwise, he would not have so many scars.
"Zheng'er, the Qin Dynasty is going to defeat the Xiongnu. Do you intend to go out?" Qin Yiren asked, looking at Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty is willing to go out with the army." Ying Zheng said happily.
"It's very good that you think so, very good." Qin Yiren was very satisfied, nodded heavily, and said: "However, this time you go on an expedition, you don't have to be a new soldier anymore, you have to lead an army."
"Lead the army?" Ying Zheng was a little surprised.
"The emperor of the Qin Dynasty must not only be able to endure hardships and dare to fight hard, but also be able to lead the army on the battlefield." Qin Yiren said with some seriousness: "After defeating the Xiongnu this time, the four realms will be peaceful and there will be no war. Take advantage of this opportunity to send troops, lead an army and practice your military skills."
The Xiongnu is the last enemy of the Qin Dynasty at the moment. If the Xiongnu is defeated, the Qin Dynasty will have no opponents in a short period of time, and it will be difficult to have a war. This is a good thing for China, but it may not be a good thing for the emperor, because the emperor needs to know his troops. Taking this opportunity to let Ying Zheng lead an army, practice his art of war, and let him know how to fight, this will be of great benefit to Qin.
"Thank you, Father, for your success." Ying Zheng was overjoyed.
"Password: Recall Wang Jian, Li Mu, Wei Liao, and Sima Shang to discuss strategies to defeat the Xiongnu." Qin Yiren said loudly.

In the land of the Hetao, there stands a majestic city, covering an area of ??dozens of miles, with high walls and thick walls. This is Shuofang City.
Shuofang City was built ten years ago when Qin Yiren annihilated millions of Xiongnu troops and ordered Li Mu to drive away the Xiongnu prisoners. Today, Shuofang City has become the only city in the Hetao area and the strategic base of the Qin Dynasty. A large amount of military equipment, food and grass are stored here.
In addition, Li Mu also herded a large number of war horses in the Hetao area in order to defeat the Huns.
In the Commander's Mansion, Li Mu, Wei Liao and Sima Shang were discussing military plans.
"With Shuofang City, it will be much easier for the Qin Dynasty to defeat the Xiongnu." Wei Liao was greatly appreciated.
"This is all because your Majesty was wise and prepared in advance." Li Mu greatly admired Qin Yiren for asking him to build Shuofang City.
"If there is a city as a base in the vast desert, the benefits to the Qin Dynasty can be imagined.
"If it weren't for Shuofang City, I really don't know where so much ordnance and food would be stored." Sima Shang sighed with emotion and said, "Your Majesty has mobilized so much ordnance and food this time that it has piled up into a mountain."
"Since the unification of the world, your majesty has devoted himself to governance. This is just the beginning of results. If a few more years pass, the Qin Dynasty will have more money and food." Wei Liao is Qin Yiren's right-hand man, and he knows Qin Yiren well. How hard it is for others to govern.
At this moment, a personal guard came in and informed them that Qin Yiren had summoned them back to Xianyang.
"Your Majesty is going to discuss a strategy to defeat the Xiongnu. Let's go back to Xianyang!" The three of them were overjoyed.
