Chapter 131 Bronze Stele - Named Loyalty Soul!

The civil and military officials understand a little. The king is trying to apply the methods used by Qin to Ba and Shu to Yiqu. Give a slap to a sweet jujube. Yiqu is a savage and sturdy grassland people. I am afraid that it will be assimilated by Da Qin soon.

The reason why Ying Ji wanted to assimilate the prairie nation of Yiqu was because he took a fancy to the cavalry combat capability of the prairie nation of Yiqu.

Prairie men are brave and sturdy. As long as they have war horses, machetes, and leather armor, they are cavalry!

Fortunately, the army sent by the Qin State to pacify the northwestern grasslands this time was the Anxi Army, an open-hanging army equipped with various advanced ordnance weapons and an ancient military formation. Three hundred thousand troops.

Of course, Ying Ji would not be too busy to recruit troops on the grasslands immediately, and now the Qin state has not yet captured the hearts of these grassland people.

Only after the Qin State's assimilation policy took effect, let the people of Yiqu know that it is definitely better to follow Qin State than to follow the previous tribal leaders.

Following the Qin state, there will definitely be a brilliant future. After joining the Qin army to become a Qin army soldier, and beheading on the battlefield, there will be rich rewards, and then Ying Ji will start recruiting troops on the grasslands.

However, the assimilation policy also has a very obvious flaw, that is, it cannot be effective within a period of three or five years!

However, at this time it was already in the Great Perfection of Bone Refining, and Ying Ji, who had a three-hundred-year lifespan, said that he could afford it.

"But Your Majesty, Yiqu has always been a nomadic country before, and the land with fertile water and grass is where Yiqu established the country."

"If my Daqin wants to set up three counties and twelve counties in the northwest grassland, it is bound to build three county towns and twelve county towns!"

"The vastness of the project and the serious consumption of people's energy are a heavy burden for my Daqin, and my Daqin can't allocate so much people's energy now."

"Originally, the ninety thousand Lishan prisoners were acceptable, but the Lishan prisoners have now become an army, and they are under the command of General Zhang Han and Baili, and then let the remaining Lishan prisoners leave from the Lishan Mountain and be sent to the northwest. It is not appropriate to build a city on the grassland, please think twice about it!"

Wang Xiaojie said again at this time, Wang Xiaojie, who is now the highest official in the northwest frontier of Daqin, naturally has to consider all aspects, and Daqin will not be able to mobilize so many people to go to the northwest to build a city until next year at least.

"Who said that I, Daqin, don't have that many people's strength?"

Ying Ji suddenly laughed and said, Wang Xiaojie and the civil and military officials felt a little unclear.

After several years of turmoil, Daqin, whose national strength has been severely depleted, is now recuperating. Is there any other county or county in Daqin that can draw at least tens of thousands of people's strength?

Shangyu County, where General Wang Ling was stationed, and Shang County, which was guarded by General Yingji, were important military towns in the south and north of Qin State.

Several counties in the east have to face all the countries in the world, and hundreds of thousands of people will be transformed into soldiers at any time, and it is even more impossible to do so lightly.

The land of Bashu is even worse. There are quite a lot of people in the land of Bashu, but no one can stand the harsh weather conditions of the northwest grassland, so it is not acceptable.

Thinking about it carefully, Daqin really has no extra civilian power to use!

"Everyone is so confused, have you forgotten the 60,000 prisoners of war that I captured when the Qin army won the Northwest Victory?"

Ying Ji's words awakened the dreamer, and all the civil and military officials reacted, as if yes, didn't the expeditionary army also capture 60,000 prisoners of war?

These 60,000 prisoners of war were all former Yiqu troops. They were originally from the grasslands. They had already adapted to the harsh weather conditions on the grasslands. It seemed that no one could better adapt to the city construction task than these 60,000 prisoners of war.

Civil and military officials were speechless, even Wei Ran. Why didn't he see the labor force that was placed in front of him for nothing? Could it be that he was really too blind?

"General Wang, the entire northwest grassland thousands of miles away from the widow will be handed over to General Wang and General Guo Xin!"

"promise!"

Wang Xiaojie clasped his fists under the hall and said, knowing in his heart the responsibilities of himself, Guo Xin, and all the soldiers of the Anxi Army.

"Everyone, although there is already a specific charter for digesting the results of the Northwest War, there is an even more urgent matter before me."

"The urgency of this matter is related to our country's luck in the Great Qin Dynasty. The few people attach great importance to it, and you must pay attention to it."

At this moment, the smile of Ying Ji, who was still smiling just now, suddenly disappeared, and his expression became serious and solemn. The hearts of civil and military officials jumped in unison. What can make the king pay so much attention to it, and it can even be related to the fate of the Qin Dynasty.

"Dare to ask the king, what's the matter?"

Wei Ran said, all the officials looked at Ying Ji, but saw Ying Ji slowly closed his eyes, and even said in a sad tone: "Without him, this matter is the loyal soul of nearly ten thousand soldiers of our Qin army. A place to live!"

Hearing the king say that the Qin army is the loyal soul of nearly 10,000 dead soldiers, civil and military officials are all shocked!

Now everyone knows that the king attaches great importance to the lives of soldiers and soldiers, and cherishes the lives of any soldier and soldier, even the disabled soldiers in the army are unwilling to give up one.

They even set up the instructor battalion, a unit directly under the king, to house the disabled soldiers. Although there was a purpose to let these disabled soldiers continue to train tiger divisions for Daqin, this showed the king. The style of the ancient sage king!

Every soldier and every soldier is so important to the king, and this is nearly ten thousand loyal souls, so how should the king deal with it?

"Everyone, the few people want to erect monuments for the soldiers of the Qin army who died in battle, to be worshipped and worshipped by my great Qin people!"

"My Daqin Ruishi worked hard for my Daqin Wang Tu's hegemony, and finally died in battle. They are great, and they should not be forgotten!"

"Therefore, the widow wants to cast the heroic soul monument in bronze!"

"From now on, the names of all the soldiers who died in the Qin army will be engraved on the Heroic Soul Stele, and they will be worshipped and worshipped by my Daqin Wanmin, warning me Daqin Wanmin to live in peace, and encourage me Daqin Wanmin to work hard. Do you think it's okay?"

Ying Ji still closed his eyes and said, Bai Guan's heart was full of shock, but he didn't expect the king to have such an idea in his heart.

To actually erect a monument for the soldiers of the Qin army who died in battle, it is a monument to the loyal soul, a monument to the loyal and brave fighting spirit, this is something that has never happened in all countries in the world, even since ancient times.

But then, the hearts of the civil and military officials were filled with emotion. The king's virtue was comparable to that of a filial lord, and he even went after the holy king of ancient times. How could he be able to follow such a king, what a blessing in life!

And Daqin generals felt regret in their hearts, why didn't the king become the king of Daqin sooner?

Over the past hundred years, the Qin State has killed more than hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but only a few of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers can find their corpses and bring them back to their hometowns for burial.

Where is it like now, after the death of the battlefield, the monarch of a country can personally erect a monument, engrave his name on it, and be worshipped by the people of the Qin Dynasty, and it will always be remembered by people.

Why didn't the king be born decades earlier or become the king of Qin a few years earlier, otherwise, how could there be so many unsung martyrs among the soldiers of the Qin army!

"Your Majesty, for ten thousand years, you will thank your Majesty at the end!"

Dozens of Qin army generals knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists and said that no one can understand the friendship between soldiers and soldiers, and Ying Ji's actions undoubtedly raised the level of control over the military's heart to a new level.

...

The capital of Daqin, within Xianyang City, in the Sword Casting Workshop!

The Sword Casting Workshop is the secret place of the Qin State. It is located near the Qin Palace and carries countless military secrets of the Qin State.

If ordinary people did not get the special official documents, once they rashly broke into the sword casting workshop, they would definitely be directly killed by the soldiers of the Qin army guarding the sword casting workshop.

Everyone in the world knows that the Qin sword is sharp, the Qin army's crossbow and arrows are powerful, and the arrows of the six kingdoms are not as far as the Qin arrows!

However, there are only a few people in the world who know that most of these sharp Qin swords and the powerful bows and crossbows of the Qin army were made by the Qin State Sword Casting Workshop.

The weapons developed and forged by the Sword Casting Workshop definitely contributed to the fact that the Qin army was so powerful.

The function of the Sword Casting Workshop is equivalent to the Ordnance Research Institute, which is responsible for the development and trial of various weapons and equipment that will be widely popularized in the Qin army.

At this time, in the huge sword casting workshop, Qin Wang Yingji, Qin Prime Minister Wei Ran, as well as civil and military officials were all watching the creation of the Loyal Soul Monument.

I saw that there were iron chains running across the two sides everywhere in the sword casting workshop, and dozens of long swords were hung on each chain.

The surrounding earthen walls are full of powerful bows and crossbows, and in the middle is a huge blast furnace-like forging furnace.

Around it were dozens of furnaces neatly lined up, and above each furnace was a shirtless swordsmith who was constantly beating the unformed bronze with a hammer.

Every time the swordsmith swings the hammer, countless sparks will be splashed, leaving countless sweat, but the sweat is nothing but this, while the swordsmith apprentice next to the swordsmith is constantly adding firewood to the furnace to keep the temperature of the furnace. .

Heating, warming, and forging kept the temperature in the entire sword-casting workshop at a high level, and the foreheads and backs of the civil and military officials were dripping with sweat.

On the huge forging furnace in the middle of the sword-casting workshop, a gray-haired blacksmith is forging a piece of bronze that is more than ten meters long. Four or five apprentices are responsible for adding firewood to raise the temperature of the furnace.

"Old Bai, take a rest, Mr. Bai is the top blacksmith in my Daqin, and more importantly, the old Bai clan of my old Qin people. Although the creation of the Loyalty Soul Monument is important, Mr. Bai should not hurt his body."

At the forefront of the civil and military officials, Ying Ji spoke directly to the old man who was building a monument of loyalty to the soul above the forging furnace.

This old man is not simple. In the past, there were three tribes of Mengxi and Bai clan in the Qin country. Bai Lao was the clan elder of the Bai clan, and he had a high prestige among the old Qin people! "

Bai Lao is still the top forging master in the Qin state. Since the sword master Ou Yezi created the famous sword Longyuan, Bai Lao has studied hard and finally became the second swordsmith in the world to create a fine iron long sword. I don't know and Qin State's secret work is doing well!
