Hu Hai was not used to staying in the camp.
After staying in the sweltering tent for a while, he went straight to the city mansion.
Although the county government in Linchen is much simpler than other places, it is undoubtedly much cleaner than the military tent.
Hu Hai was sitting in the main seat, listening to the Linchen County Magistrate telling him about the situation in the South China Sea. The Linchen County Magistrate had a dark complexion and was very thin, but he was very energetic. He held his beard and smiled and said: "Young Master , the land of the South China Sea is also large and its resources are rich, it is actually a great treasure of our Great Qin."
"The white juice I just gave you to taste is called coconut in the South China Sea. It has a hard skin and thick flesh. The juice inside is like grassland mare's milk. It is as sweet as glutinous rice. When you drink it, you will eat it with fire, but you will not feel hungry in your belly. Over the years, the army has entered Lingnan. , all the soldiers were full of praise for this coconut, calling it the South China Sea Cow."
"There are also yellow bananas on the table, shelled lychees, red nameless fruits, olive fruits, and many large fish, prawns, giant whales and other sea creatures that are unheard of in the Central Plains. There are also boundless green forests and seas, which are rare. The wooden tables are endless."
"The land in Lingnan is so luxuriant that it can be worthy of two old Qin kingdoms."
"."
Hu Hai Dangdang was knocking on the big case, feeling something special in his heart.
He asked curiously: "While traveling south, I saw the soldiers deformed and discolored along the way. I couldn't bear to see them. What's the reason for this?"
The county magistrate smiled bitterly and said: "Young master couldn't bear it when he saw that the faces of our officers and soldiers changed drastically and their power was completely lost. I am really impressed by this."
"However, the climate in Lingnan is very hot, which is very different from that in the Central Plains. When the army went south, many soldiers would be infected with the fever plague when they entered the South China Sea, and their body temperature would not drop for a long time. Because of this, the soldiers who were originally strong and burly were in stature. He is very thin, and even though he is thin, he is still very strong."
"Don't worry, sir."
Hu Hai nodded.
The county magistrate glanced at Hu Hai for a few times, and saw that Hu Hai had no objection. He frowned and said: "When the young master came south, he should also have seen the clothes of the army sergeants. The changes in appearance and clothes were mostly due to Due to the water, soil and climate, it is not unbearable to torture. To be honest, our soldiers have no hidden worries at the moment except for the increasingly urgent homesickness during the expedition. "
At this time.
Ren Ao smiled and said: "My father once served as a general in Lingnan. Therefore, although I have not been to Lingnan in the past, I know some of the conditions in Lingnan. There seems to be an island south of Panyu, which is called Hainan by the Yue people. It is as big as an island back then. My father once said to me about the Kingdom of Wu that if you include this island, the land of several counties in the South China Sea is far larger than the Yinshan grassland."
"At that time, King Huiwen had a unique insight and ordered Sima Cuo to annex Bashu in one fell swoop. Only then did the Qin Dynasty have a land of abundance and a heaven-given granary."
"This is Great Qin's eternal plan!"
"Now that the Great Qin has the South China Sea, it should follow the example of Bashu and regulate the South China Sea, so as to benefit China forever. Even though it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, the South China Sea can always be owned by the Great Qin. This should be the plan for the descendants of the Great Qin forever."
"Min Luo, as the magistrate of Linchen County, you have to take on difficult and dangerous tasks and manage the South China Sea well."
"Create another land of heaven for Great Qin!"
Min Luo said quickly: "This is the wish of a lower official."
"I just want the South China Sea to be completely integrated into China, but I am afraid it will take some time. The Chu State has controlled the South China Sea for hundreds of years, but it has never been able to effectively integrate the South China Sea into China. Its paradigm of governing the South China Sea is far from that of Emperor Zhou. There is not much difference among the princes, and it is even looser than the princely system."
"The imperial government's push to push forward prefectures and counties in the South China Sea has faced even greater resistance than in Guandong."
"In addition, the imperial court has firmly implemented one rule over the years."
"It is actually quite difficult for the imperial court to completely control the South China Sea."
"What do you mean?" Ren Ao frowned.
Min Luo smiled bitterly and said: "I want the South China Sea to be completely integrated into China, and we must strive to be civilized, otherwise the South China Sea will eventually be in trouble for China."
"But what is civilized behavior? The lower officials don't know."
"It's just that in Xianguan's opinion, it should be a large-scale migration of the Central Plains population into the South China Sea to generate civilization, allowing Chinese civilization to take root in the South China Sea, vigorously integrating ethnic groups, and gathering roots. Only in this way can the South China Sea be completely integrated into China."
Hear the words.
Ren Ao frowned.
After all the talk about Minluo, not only did the imperial court still have to relocate, but there was also a large-scale relocation. Who wouldn't take it seriously after hearing this?
Min Luo continued: "Young Master may not know something."
"In the past few years, the imperial court moved 500,000 people to Lingnan, especially tens of thousands of women. As a result, many soldiers were able to have wives and homes. This stabilized the originally turbulent military camp, but after all, women of the right age were too young. Young, even if many soldiers are married to people from the South China Sea, there are still a large number of soldiers in the army who are alone. Now that the war has stopped, life is already miserable, like a rootless tree. Every morning and evening, the soldiers will look to the north and sing together Homesick Love Song.”
"I miss my hometown for a long time."
"If a man has a daughter, he is a family. Without a woman, everything has no roots."
"How can there be long-term peace in the army?"
Min Luo let out a long sigh.
Ren Ao also fell silent.
Hu Hai turned his head and glanced at Min Luo, feeling nothing about it.
But he was thinking, according to Ji Heng, many of these soldiers will eventually go back. There are a lot of old, weak, women and children in Guanzhong. Whose wives and children are they? Whose parents are they? Basically, they are from the Nanhai and Beiyuan armies. It is impossible for the imperial court to send all these people to Nanhai. So according to Min Luo, wouldn't it mean that they have to choose another woman?
What's this?
Just when Hu Hai was about to speak, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Min Luo did not dare to neglect.
Stride to the door and ask why.
After some inquiries, it was discovered that Sima of the Chinese Army accidentally ate a fatty fish earlier and was now vomiting and having diarrhea without wanting to eat. He was now unconscious and was summoning doctors from all over the country to treat him.
After hearing this question, Hu Hai asked curiously: "Can eating fish cause problems?"
Min Luo said: "Go back to the young master, there are many fish in the South China Sea. I just heard what the little official said, Sima of the Chinese army probably ate Houyi fish, which is called Haigui (puffer fish) locally. This kind of fish liver is very poisonous. In the past, the generals of the army did not It is rare to be poisoned. After eating this kind of fish, you will lose weight in less than half a month and your life will be hard to save."
"Why did Sima of the Chinese Army get Haigui?"
Min Luo looked confused.
immediately.
He turned to look at Hu Hai and said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry too much. The shogunate's military chef is in charge of the kitchen today. Although there is a fish banquet, there will be no mistakes."
"Please forgive me, sir."
Hu Hai had not thought of this at first, but when he heard Min Luo's words, his face darkened.
He quickly said: "Forget about the fish."
"I'm not too happy about it."
"Besides." Hu Hai seemed to have thought of something, and added: "I brought a cook with me on this trip, so I don't need a military cook."
Hear the words.
Min Luo's face froze, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Hu Hai.
Not long after, another petty official came to report that Sima's symptoms had not improved yet. Min Luo felt panicked and hurriedly left, preparing to go and check.
Hu Hai did not go.
He now feels that the South China Sea seems unsafe.
Ji Heng reminded him to pay attention to the water. Now there is also a problem with the fish. Especially when he thinks of those skinny soldiers, he feels a little hairy in his heart.
He ordered: "Go and tell the cooks that they must cook everything, but don't cook the fish."
Zhao Gao quickly went to deliver the message.
immediately.
Hu Hai looked at Ren Ao and asked: "Ren Ao, go and ask Zhao Tuo when the reward for the army can begin? I have been delayed for a long time in the South China Sea."
"No." Ren Ao said quickly.
When Zhao Gao and Ren Ao left one after another, Hu Hai muttered: "The weather in the South China Sea is stuffy and hot, and there are all kinds of miasma and poisonous gases. Even the fish are poisonous. This place is not suitable for people to stay. It's better to get the money as soon as possible." Pay the reward and leave as soon as possible."
"It's not safe here."
Everything that happened in the county government was told to Lu Jia by Min Luo.
Lu Jia sneered: "This Young Master of Da Qin is afraid that he will be scared enough now. He will not stay in Nanhai for too long. These pampered young masters are not used to staying here, but they still want Nanhai to be fully integrated." China is really wishful thinking."
"When the Chu State governed the South China Sea, it was like the emperor of Zhou. He led the princes from afar and could not make the South China Sea surrender. Now the Qin Dynasty implements the rule of the world, which is more extreme than the vassal system. How can it win the hearts of the people? Now the soldiers in the army have many resentments against Qin. Even if the emperor's vassal system is restored in the South China Sea in the future, it will be difficult to win the hearts of the people."
“There is no South China Sea in China!”
"It didn't happen in the past, and it won't happen now!"
"How is Yang Wengzi's condition?" Lu Jia asked again.
Min Luo said: "The situation is not good. He is already a bit old, and he was deliberately plotted. During the alliance with the leader of the Yue people, Yang Wengzi ate a whole three kilograms of big fish. How can he be saved?" That’s good enough, but it’s almost impossible to fully recover.”
"If the Yang family hadn't been in a very high position in Da Qin, he wouldn't necessarily be eating Haigui."
Min Luo's eyes were filled with indifference.
Lu Jia nodded slightly and said: "Yang Wengzi seems to be aware of what we are doing. It is best to let him get sick now, especially when the general will conquer the Ouluo area soon. Without Yang Wengzi to stand in the way, his subordinates will Those generals can only obey the military orders."
"Try it a few times."
"There will be no other voices in the army."
“After all, the South China Sea is still the South China Sea for us South China Sea people!”
"hehe."
The next day.
The sky is clear.
The reward army that Hu Hai was waiting for finally began.
The number of troops coming was not very large, less than 50,000, but standing on the cloud car, it was still a large area of darkness.
Looking at the soldiers below, Hu Hai felt very excited.
He had never had such an intuitive experience in the past. In the past, he had traveled with the First Emperor to various places and had seen many big scenes. However, as a bystander, he was now standing in the middle of tens of thousands of people, being looked up to by tens of thousands of people. This This scene really made him unable to calm down for a long time.
This is what the Young Master of Da Qin should do!
He stood still on his feet and just watched for a long time.
finally.
He picked up a piece of parchment and read aloud.
This is the book written by Zhao Gao for him.
"My fellow soldiers, I, Hu Hai, have come here without warning for only one purpose."
"Reward the army!!!"
"Nowadays, the South China Sea is facing a serious crisis, and the overall situation is still in turmoil. General Zhao Tuo wants to mobilize more troops to completely wipe out the ugly people in the South China Sea and bring peace to the South China Sea. However, I, Hu Hai, believe that after the subsequent World War, the South China Sea will be peaceful. The overall situation must be clarified, the soldiers can recuperate, and the South China Sea will be consolidated forever!"
"All officers and soldiers are responsible for the security of the world and the control of chaos. When the world is first settled, they will go south with the army."
"Going through all kinds of hardships to pacify the South China Sea."
"Such achievements are enough to make one's name immortal."
"Hu Hai thanks all the soldiers in the army."
Hu Hai bowed deeply.
He added: "Sirs, the Qin Dynasty will not forget you, the world will not forget you, and the imperial court will not forget you. I came here this time and brought a reward of millions of gold to reward the army. Great Qin is lucky to have such generals and soldiers, it is lucky for China, and it is lucky for the world!"
"General Zhao Tuo, share the money."
"Everything will be announced according to the 'exposed first' process."
"I will stay in Nanhai until all the rewards are distributed."
Zhao Tuo quickly promised.
But Lu Jia's expression on the side was gloomy and scary.
He stared at Hu Hai, but he didn't expect that Hu Hai would be so vigilant, and even specifically mentioned that he would make it public through the process of 'revealing his head'. This was clearly to be wary of them.
he knows.
I underestimated this young master of Qin.
If these millions of dollars of money and food were really distributed, all their efforts over the years would be in vain.
Lu Jia's eyes were uncertain, thinking of a solution.
Hu Hai was unconscious.
He was just doing what Ji Heng told him.
After finishing speaking, Hu Hai stood on the cloud car intoxicatedly, enjoying the grand occasion of being worshiped by thousands of people, and his heart was full of pride.
In a moment of thought.
He felt that this was what he should be like.
Hu Hai just stood proudly, enjoying the pleasure of the breeze blowing on his face.
the other side.
Lu Jia signaled to the soldiers around him.
The soldier quickly understood and quickly left the high platform.
Suddenly, shouts erupted from the Linchen military camp.
"Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"
"Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"
"."
The sound spread far.
The clear water spread to the small town of Huairao, to the valleys pillowed by the green mountains, and even to the entire hot southern country.
Just as Hu Hai was enjoying the excitement, he gradually heard some inappropriate sounds. At first when he heard the sound, Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong. However, after listening for a while, he was shocked to realize that he had not heard the sound correctly. That’s right.
There were indeed other sounds in the barracks.
It's obviously the familiar one——
Qin Feng!
The jianjia is green and the white dew is frost.
The so-called beauty is on the water side.
If you follow it back, the road will be long and blocked.
Travel back and forth, you'll find yourself in the middle of the water
There were more and more harmonies, and gradually, the unique desolate and exciting voices of the Qin people resounded throughout the valley, mixed with roars and shouts, a moving but unsettling song of longing.
The sound of Qin Feng became louder and louder, and finally turned into a continuous thunder, exploding in Hu Hai's ears, resounding loudly.
In an instant.
Hu Hai woke up suddenly.
There is no longer the calmness and calmness before, only uneasiness and irritability in his eyes.
The sound of the Great Qin Dynasty disappeared for thousands of years, replaced by the desolate and agitated Qin wind and the shocking roar.
Eventually all the sounds turned into two words.
go home!
Facing these questions, Hu Hai seemed to be unable to withstand the impact. His face turned pale with fright, and his figure was swaying. If Zhao Gao hadn't been holding him up, he would have fallen down.
Even so, Qin Feng remains the same! ! !
