Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills

In the quiet Xianyang city shrouded in darkness, there were bursts of carriage sounds, followed by the barking of dogs. The sounds woke up all the Qin people who were sleeping, making them feel nervous and anxious.

That rebellion was caused by the news brought back by then-Internal History Meng Yi, indicating that the First Emperor had passed away, and this time...

After a hurried bath, Feng Jianmu changed into his court robe again and drove to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion under the escort of hundreds of cavalrymen.

During the transition between the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, the prime minister was in charge of the emperor's daily decision-making and his status was so high that it was almost equal to that of the emperor.

Whenever the country faced major affairs, the emperor needed to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person to discuss them.

Of course, this procedure would not be necessary during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, but for Fusu, who was the second heir to the throne, he had to strictly follow these rules.

When Fusu arrived, Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, Left Prime Minister Zhao Yang, Grand Commandant Meng Jia, Guard Commandant Yang Duanhe, Imperial Physician-in-Chief Meng Yi, Grand Coachman Meng Tian, ​​and Chief of the Imperial Household Zhang Han had been waiting there for a long time.

It is noteworthy that Fusu deliberately did not invite the Imperial Censor Feng Jie, who was known as a potential prime minister, to attend the meeting. Instead, he separately notified Zhang Han, the Minister of Works, who was a general.

Among those who entered the hall later was Han Xin, a Yulin Lang who had hurriedly returned from Shanglin Garden on a night road back to the capital.

When the people who were still in the hall saw Fusu, they all bowed and saluted.

"All of you sit down, no need to be so formal." Fusu sat in the center seat and looked at the energetic Zhao Yang: "Has the left prime minister seen Kang Taixue?"

In the past few weeks, under the pretext of a stroke, the former eunuch Zhao Yang had been recuperating at home, and all government affairs were handled by the Right Prime Minister. In Fusu's view, this was clearly an effort to avoid a split in power with the Right Prime Minister.

However, this is not advisable.

The original intention of Emperor Qin Shi Huang to establish the positions of left and right prime ministers was to weaken the power of a single prime minister and prevent the situation of absolute power from affecting the imperial power.

"Thanks to the emperor's care and concern, my condition is currently stable." Zhao Yang leaned forward and replied in return.

Next, Fusu nodded in agreement:

"Now that your physical condition has improved, the Left Prime Minister should be able to take on more work in government affairs in the future."

"After all, the elderly Right Prime Minister may fall ill due to overwork. It would be a pity if people thought I was mistreating the elderly official!"

Amidst laughter, Zhao Yang nodded in agreement, and the briefing officially began.

When the laughter faded, Taiwei Qiang Wei hurried to the center of the hall and said, "The Xianling Qiang organized various tribal alliances, broke through our border defenses, and harassed Fuhan County, killing hundreds of border people and looting countless properties. Your Majesty, please make a decision on such behavior!"

Since I am the one making the decision? Of course I have to pay with blood! However, let's first hear what others think... Fusu stroked his stubble gently and asked:

"What does the Right Prime Minister think of this?"

Feng Quji pondered for a while and expressed his views on the Qiang people: "The so-called Qiang people, their habitat is fickle and they rely on water sources and pastures. The land is scarce and difficult to cultivate. They regard war as luck and the loss of life as a disaster. They can endure extreme cold and heat and are as tough as animals."

After Feng Quji briefly described the situation of the Qiang people to Fusu, he continued:

"Sun Wu said: Heaven's will is not as important as geographical advantages, and geographical advantages are not as important as the unity of people's will." "It is already October. If we send out a large army at this time, when it snows heavily, the soldiers may die in large numbers due to cold and hunger. This is the so-called unfavorable timing." "A large army is carrying out military operations in Qiang territory, and they are not familiar with the local astronomy and geography. This is unfavorable terrain conditions." In addition, your majesty has just ascended the throne, and the people are in a different mood. The Qiang people suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters last year. Now they are harassing the border again in order to survive. In order to survive, they will definitely fight bravely. This is the so-called human factor of the right time."

Therefore, Feng Quji said: Now is not the best time to easily provoke border conflicts.

People have come to our doorstep, do you want me, the emperor, to be a coward? How clever... Fusu was angry, and when he was about to speak, Meng Tian spoke first: "The old prime minister is wrong!" Meng Tian got up from his seat and hurried to the hall to argue with Feng Quji. Han Xin, a Yu Lin Lang who was at the gate, heard the fierce debate inside and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Until this moment, Han Xin was still in a trance as if he was in a dream. That afternoon, he went to the pavilion chief's house to eat as usual. Although the old woman was very annoying, the food was quite delicious, and the sister Xiaowan was also very cute... As a result, a team of soldiers in armor walked into the outer door and took him to Xiandu without saying anything. Then, after meeting the newly crowned emperor, he became one of the small officials named "Yu Lin Lang" with a rank of three hundred stones. Then he was sent by the prince to Shanglin Garden to train a group of teenage soldiers, and his deputy was the leader of the group of soldiers who brought him to Xiandu that year, "Zhan Niao" Chunsheng. Today, he was summoned to Xiandu by His Majesty overnight to participate in listening to important events in the court. The two companions beside him were Meng Tian's son - Meng Ying, and Li Xin's son - Li Cheng! Han Xin, Han Xin, he must be dreaming... He pinched his thigh subconsciously.

"Why are you pinching me!" Li Cheng scolded impatiently in a low voice.

"Oh..." He was a little stunned.

"...Mute!"

And so it went on.

In the main hall, Feng Quji saw that all the important ministers except Wei Liao expressed their attitudes and all of them strongly supported Meng Tian's proposal to fight against the Qiang people. He could not help but sigh deeply.

The Qin Dynasty granted official positions based on military achievements. Since the unification of the world, battles have become increasingly scarce, making it increasingly difficult for military officials to gain merit and titles.

At this meeting, His Majesty did not recall Yao Jia and many others for reasons of military and state affairs, and only himself and Zhang Han were invited to attend, while the others were all people with military backgrounds.

Despite their numerical disadvantage, His Majesty seems unwilling to easily provoke border conflicts.

So Feng Quji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision!"

Meng Tian and his companions also bowed and responded: "Your Majesty, please make the decision."

Fusu glanced at Meng Yi, who nodded slightly, then sat up straight and ordered solemnly, "Bring out the map!"

Feng Quji was about to say something more when he heard the following imperial decree: "Order the governor of Longxi, Li Xin, to be punished for failing to supervise the Qiang people and causing them to violate the border. He shall be fined ten pieces of armor, but his position shall be retained."

"Orders. Since the Qiang people do not follow the dynasty's cultural teachings and invade our borders, order Li Xin, the governor of Longxi, to lead 5,000 cavalry, 1,000 chariots, and 20,000 soldiers to cross the Great Wall to fight. Clear out the enemy camps and clean up a number of homes, and then set up a county here!"

As soon as Fusu finished speaking, the attendant who was preparing to record the order in the corner of the hall began to write diligently.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Feng Quji sighed deeply again and followed Fusu to the map placed on the ground.

This map uses simple altitude lines and marks the length of each place. It seems that this map is well made. Fusu nodded secretly in his heart and looked for the signs on the map that he was familiar with in his later life.

Found it!

Fusu looked toward a large lake located northwest of Didao, the capital of Longxi County.

This is Qinghai Lake!

This left a deep impression on me - that's because I once spent 500 dollars to ride on a long-haired cow for ten minutes to experience it...

Looking back, the snacks here were especially delicious, and the roasted lamb feet was an unforgettable dish - well, I'm so hungry...

What are you doing? Spit!

During the Han Dynasty, Jincheng County was established here.

At present, to the north of Jincheng County, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established four counties, namely Jiuquan, Wuwei, Dunhuang and Zhangye, in order to connect the inland countries of Asia and thereby cut off the connection between the Xiongnu and Qiang people, thereby indirectly protecting the smooth journey of the "Silk Road".

Although this area is currently controlled by the Yuezhi people, they are friendly and close to the Qin Empire, so the "Silk Road" in this area is not blocked and blocked by the Xiongnu as it was in the early Han Dynasty.

Since Emperor Wu of Han was able to establish the county system in such a location, most of the later dynasties in the Central Plains were also able to hold on here, which shows that this is indeed a fertile land suitable for farming!

It's exciting! The genetic code is stirring.

Since this area is suitable for planting, let's just go for it.

In Guanzhongkou, it's like this - "Oh my! It's all mine!"

Therefore, in the action plan formulated by Fusu, the main target of attack was the Xianrong Qiang people, and the main means adopted was to abduct people. The current area was mainly barren grasslands and muddy swamps, so this approach was easy to implement.

Of course, facing the grassland area is still easy to deal with; after a fire, the land is fertile, and there is no need to worry about being hunted down by people like the head of the pavilion!

Regarding the response to swampy areas, a large amount of labor is required, such as digging canals to drain water and raising dams to prevent flooding.

These tasks require the participation of a large number of workers!

If the soldiers were to avoid becoming the next "Chen Sheng and Wu Guang", the manpower could not come from the country, so they had to ask the Qiang people for help.

Those who contribute generously will be remembered and appreciated by the Emperor forever. Fusu pointed at the map with his baton and said to Mongolia.

Tian, ​​Feng Quji and others shared their ideas

Fusu waved his cane, regaining the feeling of a "keyboard game master", and spoke with ease like a battlefield commander:

"This time we will divide our troops into two groups: first, we will move up along the Deshui River (Yellow River) and attack the main stationing place of the Xianling Qiang people; then, we will quickly mobilize cavalry to quickly raid other Qiang tribes around the Huangshui River basin."

After conquering the Qiang people, Li Xin was ordered to lead the team to pursue and clean up the Qiang people; then, a base was set up on the east side of Qinghai Lake, and the prisoner corps responsible for building the Great Wall was sent to build a city here with the Qiang prisoners captured earlier!
