As soon as this statement came out.
The whole court was boiling.
The expressions of all the civil and military officials suddenly changed.
"What?!"
Some courtiers exclaimed in surprise.
With a face full of disbelief and a hint of panic in his voice, he asked the person next to him, "What is your highness, the Eighth Young Master, doing?"
"I do not know either!"
The man looked fearful, shook his head, and secretly sighed: "What exactly is the Eighth Young Master planning to do? Is it possible that he wants to catch everyone in one fell swoop?"
All the officials speculated on Ying Ziye's intentions.
"Is it possible that we want to imprison these Guanneihou and Chehou?"
"Or maybe kill these marquis!"
"It just shouldn't be possible."
"After all, there are so many marquises and dignitaries. If we are not careful, they will cause chaos among these marquises and dignitaries."
"The morale of the military will also be shaken by this. They all have fiefdoms and power obtained by military merit and nobility!"
In the main hall, the civil and military officials were talking a lot.
From time to time, he looked at Ying Ziye, with deep fear in his eyes.
"Young Master Eighth, you are really tough, insidious, and ruthless!"
"To plan like this is so mean and unkind..."
On the high platform.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng looked slightly thoughtful, but finally agreed and said calmly: "Yes, I will reward you with an imperial edict!"
Ying Ziye cupped his hands and said calmly, "My dear father, thank you!"
However, the courtiers and other princes were not as calm as him, and their expressions changed one after another.
"What, how is that possible!"
"His Majesty the First Emperor agreed to the Eighth Young Master's request!"
"It's too much of a joke. It involves so many marquis and dignitaries. This is a major matter of national importance!"
The civil and military officials exclaimed in shock, unable to stop the huge waves rising deep in their hearts.
Young Master Fusu was also stunned, his face was dull, and he thought to himself: "Father, what does this mean?"
"You actually indulged your eighth brother so much!"
Young Master Hu Hai also had deep eyes and was lost in thought.
"It doesn't matter that Bage is young and energetic, my father also wants to accompany him?"
"This move will arouse the jealousy of those marquises and nobles. If they think that this is the empire's intention to be disadvantageous to them, they will mutiny..."
The meeting is over.
All civil and military officials retreated one after another.
The eldest son’s mansion!
Prince Fusu summoned Zhang Liang and Chunyu Yue, and narrated what happened in the morning court and what Ying Ziye did.
"Two gentlemen, tell me, what is my eighth brother's intention?"
"After I heard him tell me this, I have been feeling uneasy. At first I thought he was going to ask for the title of crown prince, but then the eighth brother actually asked my father to summon the marquis and dignitaries from all over the world!"
"Is it possible that he wanted to coerce and imprison these marquises and dignitaries to force them to hand over their private soldiers, or to kill them?"
Young Master Fusu frowned and made a bold guess.
It's just that Ren Zhangliang is extremely resourceful, but he can't guess what Ying Ziye is thinking.
Even Chun Yuyue had the same idea as Master Fusu, but he couldn't be sure which kind it would be.
The Eighteenth Young Master’s Mansion!
Young Master Hu Hai and Zhao Gao sat opposite each other and said with a faint smile: "Teacher, what are you thinking?"
Zhao Gao shook his head when he heard this and sighed: "My guess about the Eighth Young Master is nothing more than the thoughts of the courtiers above the main hall."
"Eighth Young Master's palace is extremely deep. I'm not sure what he will choose. I can't guess any other answer."
"It's just that if this is really the case, it would be too radical."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Hu Hai couldn't help but shake his head, exhaled a long breath, and said: "My Bago has a very deep city and a majestic appearance!"
"He can't do anything. It's normal to have such thoughts."
night!
The moon and stars are few and far between, and magpies are flying south.
The autumn wind is even colder, and the coolness makes people shiver.
The streets were deserted.
But at this moment, a carriage stopped in front of the Eighth Young Master's Mansion and walked straight in.
Eighth Young Master's Mansion!
Ying Ziye was in the study, drinking warm wine with Xiao He, Hou Qing, and Jian Jiu, talking about things all over the world.
On the side, Lu Pheasant and Lu Su brought up beautifully made side dishes that were full of color, flavor and flavor.
"Commander, let me tell you about the red-sleeved move you made all over the building."
Ying Ziye raised his wine glass in salute to Yuan Tiangang and joked with a smile.
"Master!"
But at this time.
Li Si, led by the guards, stepped into the study, cupped his hands, and asked respectfully: "I want to know the truth about the prince's request for an order from your majesty in the court today."
"According to my bold guess, the young master does not care whether he is imprisoned or killed. I wonder if that is the case?"
Hearing this, Ying Ziye took a sip of the wine in his glass, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "That's not impossible!"
"But……"
Li Si couldn't help but frown deeply when he heard this.
When I was about to say something.
At this time, Yang Fan, a servant of the mansion, came to the door of the study and reported respectfully: "Sir, General Wang Ben is here to visit!"
"Let General Wang Ben come over."
Ying Ziye waved his hand and gave a calm order.
"promise!"
Yang Fan bowed and retreated.
After a while, Wang Ben arrived.
His face was solemn and serious, with a faint smile, he cupped his hands and said, "I came to visit the Eighth Young Master because I want to take a look at those warships."
"Can!"
Ying Ziye nodded, looked at Li Si, and said with a smile, "You don't have to think too much, I have my own sense of proportion."
He then looked at Wang Ben and said calmly: "Let's take a look at the warship first..."
"promise!"
After everyone heard this, they didn’t say much.
He got on the carriage and headed to the Shaofu.
The Shaofu occupies a huge area, and there are many land-occupying agencies even outside the city.
Everyone arrived at the Young Mansion. When the guards saw Ying Ziye, Li Si and others, they immediately led everyone to a huge lake.
The lake has a radius of several miles and is connected to the river outside the city.
On the surface of the lake, there are huge ships floating.
I saw the building ship, that is, the command warship, which was twenty-five feet long and ten feet wide!
The ship has three floors. The whole body of the ship is covered with a layer of black iron. There are seven masts on the ship that can hang nine sails.
The bow of the ship is a huge dragon head, and is also equipped with a huge, long, narrow and sharp iron ram, which is particularly ferocious.
You can easily destroy ships with just one look!
Everyone boarded the building boat, and Wang Ben looked at it.
I saw huge crossbows set up on the front, rear and both sides of the ship. They were all dark and used beef tendons as bowstrings.
If it were shot, he believed it could easily penetrate any armor, not even the hull of a ship.
The surrounding warships were also particularly ferocious, with their entire bodies covered in iron armor, and their collision angles were sharp and long.
Wang Ben tested the oars and the helm, and found that he could speed up the sailing and change direction easily.
"Mr. Eighth Young Master and Mr. Gongshu Chou are really gods. They are able to make such exquisite things!"
"Moreover, the warship is covered with iron armor, which strengthens the collision angle and greatly enhances the protection and attack power."
"I'm afraid there is no ship in the world that can compete with it."
"Especially the rudder and the scull, they are really sharp weapons!"
Ying Ziye smiled lightly and said, "General Wang Ben, you're welcome. If Gong Shuqiu is here, he will be very proud to hear your praise for him."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wang Ben smiled heartily, and then said: "Eighth Young Master, in addition to visiting these warships for observation and testing tonight, I will also discuss with the Eighth Young Master the route of dispatching troops by water."
"oh?!"
Ying Ziye let out a sigh and looked at him with burning eyes.
"Eighth Young Master!"
Wang Ben said respectfully: "The thing is like this, although we can take a detour through Qidi and the coast."
"But after reaching the rear of South Vietnam, it is inevitable to pass through South Vietnam's internal waterways."
"Because the mountain roads in South Vietnam are rugged, it is difficult to achieve maximum effectiveness by attacking South Vietnam by water alone. How about digging canals and using ships to quickly transport soldiers of the Qin Empire to various places."
"However, this project is huge and difficult to carry out."
The naval force he led was still too small, and it must be supported by the Qin Empire's southern frontline positions.
However, South Vietnam has rugged mountain roads and dense jungles, making it difficult to march.
So I thought of water transportation.
"Ah!"
Ying Ziye chuckled and said calmly: "I thought it was something, but I didn't expect it to be so simple."
"I will send someone to talk to Meng Tian. You can also inform General Wang to use the Baiyue Mountains and the barbarians to dig the river. The barbarians in South Vietnam are also not a bad idea!"
"In this process, some Baiyue Shanyue barbarians can be used to supervise the South Vietnamese barbarians. Dog bites dog and uses barbarians to control barbarians. They have irreconcilable conflicts. Baiyue Shanyue will definitely serve Da Qin with all its heart!"
"I will also instruct Gongshu Qiu and Mu Yanshi to make some sharp tools for digging river channels. The Shaofu will then make them in large quantities and transport them there on some ships."
Use the corpses of barbarians from all over to dig out rocks, build roads, and dig rivers for the Qin Empire!
