Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 200 Meng Yi Sends Weapons

Although the message of heavenly punishment was no longer mentioned by anyone due to the tribal leader's thundering measures, it had already planted a seed in the hearts of many Yue people, who were just waiting for the day when this seed would take root and sprout.

Liu Ji mingled among the Yue people, just like a real Yue person.

I eat and live with everyone every day, and chat with them in my free time.

On the Qin army side, after everyone had been looking at the artillery for a long time, Wang Jian ordered his men to keep an eye on the artillery, and then took Meng Yi to his own tent.

"Generals, here is a letter from the Marquis to you."

As he spoke, Meng Yi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Jian.

Wang Jian took it curiously and opened it.

"Hahaha, Tu Sui, look."

After a while, Wang Jian laughed a few times and handed the letter to Tu Sui.

Not long after, Tu Sui also smiled and slapped his thigh.

"As expected of a Marquis, you actually made arrangements so early."

Although Meng Yi was confused, he knew that the matter was related to military affairs, so he did not ask.

On the second day, Meng Yi led his men to leave the land of Baiyue and return to Xianyang.

Wang Jian and Tu Sui were also waiting for that person to contact them again.

This wait lasted for more than a month.

In the dark night, a figure quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests.

"who!"

The Qin army on duty heard the noise and quickly drew their weapons, and the archers were also ready.

"It's me, Liu Ji."

"I came here once before, bringing the token from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to General Wang Jian."

When the guard heard the familiar language, he raised his hand and told everyone not to act rashly.

Then he sent someone to inform Wang Jian.

Soon, Liu Ji was brought into Wang Jian's tent. Tu Sui had also been dressed and was sitting on one side.

"Greetings to the two generals."

Liu Ji looked at Wang Jian and Tu Sui. Although he didn't know them, it was definitely right to call them generals.

"Are you Liu Ji?"

"Exactly."

"I was imprisoned because of Xu Fu's involvement, but was favored by the Right Prime Minister and came to the land of Baiyue to assist the Qin army in conquering Baiyue."

Wang Jian and Tu Sui heard that what Liu Ji said was consistent with what was said in the Marquis' letter, and with the token from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion as evidence, they naturally no longer had any doubts.

"Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, General."

"What news do you have this time?"

"General, I have been with the Yue people for several months and have a basic understanding of their situation."

"Now that Xiou and Luoyue have united, they have elected their leader, Yixusong."

"Yi Yusong is very capable in governing the tribe. The warriors in the tribe all trust him."

"A few days ago, there was a loud noise in the mountains, and the common people took the opportunity to spread rumors, saying it was a punishment from heaven. However, Yi Xusong killed some people and suppressed the rumors."

"At the same time, Yixu Song also had people spread the word that the Qin people knew how to cast spells, and that those inexplicable noises were caused by the Qin people."

"If the Yue people were captured by the Qin people, they would be controlled by the Qin people with spells and then used as hard labor for the Qin people."

"Now, in order to avoid becoming slaves, the Yue people are ready to fight to the death."

Wang Jian and Tu Sui frowned slightly after hearing Liu Ji's words.

The Yue people have also started to fabricate rumors and slander them?

"You came out twice, are you sure no one noticed?"

Seeing the two generals looking at him, Liu Ji said confidently, "Don't worry, Generals. I'm inconspicuous among the Yue people. No one will notice me. Besides, I've made friends with a Yue person who trusts me very much."

"With him covering for Xiaomin, no one can find out."

Wang Jian nodded. "How many people are there in your tribe? How far is it from here?"

"There were five thousand people, and it took me three days of non-stop walking to get here."

When he heard the number of five thousand people, Tu Sui's eyes lit up.

Five thousand people is a large tribe among the Yue people.

"Do you know any news about other tribes?"

Hearing this question, Liu Ji also became excited.

"I know. I've delivered weapons to the other two tribes and know their locations."

"How many people are there in those two tribes?"

"One has more than 2,000 people, the other has 3,000."

Although it is a little small, if we can destroy the three tribes in one fell swoop, we can also break the alliance of the Yue people.

At that moment, Wang Jian, Tu Sui and Liu Ji discussed carefully for a long time. When Liu Ji left, he was followed by five scouts.

Liu Ji took the scouts to his tribe quickly, and then told the scouts the approximate locations of the other two tribes.

After that, he began his life among the Yue people again.

Tu Sui went to check on the artillery every day, and then waited for the scouts to come back.

Blood bubbles appeared at the corners of his anxious mouth.

Finally the scout came back.

The next day, Tu Sui personally led his men and transported three cannons out of the camp.

Afterwards, Huan Xi also left with his men carrying explosives.

Later, Li Xin and Zhang Han left with their men.

In the blink of an eye, the military camp lost 50,000 people.

On the other side, Meng Yi and his men rode quickly back to Xianyang City.

Zhangtai Palace

"Your Majesty, I have already sent the artillery to Generals Wang Jian and Tu Sui."

"Also, when I went to Baiyue, the Right Prime Minister asked me to bring a letter to the two generals. It seems that the Right Prime Minister had arranged something in Baiyue."

"After reading the letter, both generals were very happy."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and let Meng Yi go down to rest.

"Father, the teacher previously asked Liu Ji to go to Baiyue. It seems that Liu Ji has obtained some information."

"possible."

Ying Zheng nodded and looked at Fusu. "With artillery and internal support, I think Wang Jian and Tu Sui will be able to suppress the Baiyue in no time."

"You should start selecting candidates now and send them to the land of Baiyue."

"Isn't it possible to harvest rice three times a year there?"

"If the Qin people are willing to move to the Baiyue to cultivate the land, we can reduce or exempt some of the taxes."

"I'll leave this matter to you. You and the ministers will present the regulations to me for my review."

"promise."

Fusu happily agreed, then sat down and continued to handle government affairs.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu like this and felt satisfied. He then stood up and left the hall.

In the other side hall, in front of the huge map, Ying Zheng looked at the land of Baiyue that he had long coveted and was about to be conquered, as well as the overseas island that would soon become the territory of Qin.

Then he turned his gaze to the lands beyond Baiyue.

If the Baiyue were conquered, Wang Jian could continue westward, where there were also large tracts of territory.

Then, his eyes looked up.

After a long silence, Ying Zheng left and ordered Shi Yi to arrange a carriage to leave the palace.

Right Prime Minister's Office

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

Gao Yi received the news and quickly rushed to the door to greet His Majesty.

"What is Zhang Qing doing?"

"Your Majesty, the Marquis is teaching Master Hu Hai how to build a boat that can run."

A running ship?

Is there any ship that can’t run?

Although Ying Zheng was confused, he did not delay his actions at all and soon arrived at where Zhang Yuanqing was resting.

"Wow, it really started running."

"awesome."

"Sir, that's amazing."

Before he even walked in, Hu Hai's noisy voice reached his ears.

Ying Zheng frowned subconsciously.

Why is this kid so noisy?

"Sir, do you understand the principle behind this?"

Infected by Hu Hai's joy, Zhang Yuanqing was also in a good mood.
