After returning from Ying Zheng, Zhao Hao immediately took care of his official duties.
This is the most diligent he has ever been.
Because of Ying Zheng's plan to return to Xianyang, he needs to participate in the whole process.
And once he gets involved, the South China Sea will have no time to take care of it.
However, fortunately, the situation in Minyue has gradually become clearer.
As more and more people died in the battle, Mu Kui and his son, Ji Su and his son, became red-blooded.
They began to slaughter villages regardless of their kinship.
No one will be spared as long as they are not from the Minyue people of this camp.
The elderly were killed, the men were sent into the army, and the women and children were displaced and robbed as spoils of war.
The blood of the Minyue people was spilled by the Minyue people on the land where they had lived for generations.
The apes mourn for it, and the migratory birds do not stop for it.
In just two months of war, the number of people in Fujian and Yue dropped from one million to two hundred thousand.
The wars of barbaric civilizations will only be more cruel than those of advanced civilizations.
At least Daqin won't massacre the city
When Mu Kui and his son, Ji Su and his son reacted, the entire city of Minyue had turned into a hell on earth.
In order to avoid the war, countless people from Fujian and Yue rushed into the city where the Qin army was stationed, dragging their families with them.
The Qin army, who was originally regarded as their enemy, turned out to be their patron saint, which is very ironic to say.
At this point in the war, race has nothing to do with it.
At this time, Han Xin, the benevolent general who was originally in confrontation with South Vietnam, sent food to these suffering Minyue people, and brought selected grain seeds to teach the Minyue people to farm and open up wasteland.
As a result, the people of Fujian and Yue were grateful to the Qin Dynasty and cried bitterly.
In fact, for most ordinary people, they don't have much hatred towards Da Qin.
Whoever allows them to have enough to eat and live a good life is a good person.
Whoever keeps them from having enough to eat and living a bad life is a bad person.
As a result, a magical scene occurred in the South China Sea.
The two parties, led by Mu Kui and his son, and Ji Su and his son, fought hard, hoping to put each other to death.
And they all took out the imperial edict of the First Emperor's canonization and claimed that they were the new kings of Minyue.
In order to raise military supplies and capture young men, they frantically plundered the villages of the Fujian and Yue people.
On the contrary, the Qin army is constantly helping the suffering Minyue people.
"Oh, it's getting more and more interesting!"
Zhao Hao put away the military report from Han Xin and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
At this time, Young Master Gao came over and held a military report: "Brother Hao, if we continue to fight like this, it won't take long for them to make peace, because once Minyue is defeated, they will get nothing!" "
"Well, the third brother is right, so we must not let them negotiate a peace!"
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.
"What Hao Di means is"
"After I leave the South China Sea, you will host a meeting between them and reach a reconciliation. Let the two of them be called the East King of Fujian and Yue and the West King of Fujian and Yue. They will form an alliance forever!"
"ah?"
Young Master Gao was a little surprised, as if he still didn't understand what Zhao Hao meant.
But Zhao Hao said with a smile: "Although we support them to resolve the war peacefully, the chiefs of other Yue tribes are not convinced. If they want their own interests, they have to use means, such as assassination. It seems not surprising."
"this"
Young Master Gao had a look of hesitation on his face, and then he said with a bit of laughter and laughter: "These Yue people have fallen on you, you are really unlucky for eight lifetimes!"
"cut!"
Zhao Hao curled his lips noncommittally and said seriously: "Have you really thought it through? Are you going to stay in Nanhai and not return to Xianyang? How should I explain to my father?"
"Haha, I know what you want to say."
Young Master Gao smiled faintly when he heard this, then turned to look at the moon outside the window, pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "I am tired of the power struggle in Xianyang, and I have no ambition to do so. In fact, during the two months I stayed in Nanhai, These are my happiest days, and from now on, I want to stay in Nanhai and do what I can for Great Qin!"
"As for my father, I believe he will understand me."
"But."
"Brother Hao, you are a person who wants to do big things, but Nanhai is still too small for you!"
"this"
Zhao Hao was speechless and didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Gong Ziliang walked in with a Minnie rifle and said excitedly: "Brother Hao, Brother Hao, look at what this is!"
"You took my stuff and asked me if there was something wrong with it?"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at Gongzi Liang, then nodded towards Gongzi Gao, who smiled slightly, turned around and left.
There are some things that can be discussed with the young master, but not with other brothers.
After all, the other brothers were planning to go back to Xianyang with him. If they knew about Gongzi Gao's stay, they would inevitably get pulled.
"Hey, third brother, why did you leave?"
Seeing that Gongzi Gao was about to leave without saying a word, Gongzi Liang quickly stopped him.
"I still have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore!"
The young master smiled and walked forward without saying anything.
Gong Ziliang frowned slightly and didn't say much. He turned to look at Zhao Hao and said, "Brother Hao, can I get this gun?"
"This Mini rifle is a secret. It would be nice if I could show it to you. Do you still want to take it?" Zhao Hao asked pretending to be displeased.
Young Master Liang was anxious: "Oh, I know it's a secret, but we are brothers. Can you bear to see that your ninth brother doesn't even have the same weapons?"
"Have patience!"
"No way, Brother Hao, you are so ruthless to your Ninth Brother now. When we were in Xianyang, I invited you to eat meat. I still remember three years ago, you were so hungry that you were almost naked. Ninth Brother, two words Without telling you, I bought you a sheep. I planned to eat it with you, but you packed up the sheep and took it away after you finished it. And the year before last, you said you hadn’t eaten fish for a long time, and you roasted all my ornamental fish."
"Okay, okay, here it is, give it to you! It's all about old sesame and rotten millet. Let's talk about it!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Gong Ziliang, then looked at the Mini rifle in his hand and said: "Keep this gun, go find another one!"
"Okay! This is actually what I carefully selected for Brother Hao!"
"I believe you ghost!"
"hey-hey!"
Young Master Liang laughed sarcastically, immediately put down the gun in his hand and ran away.
After watching him leave, Zhao Hao shook his head helplessly, then picked up the gun and looked at it carefully.
About half an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Sir, something happened outside the city!"
Wu Ya walked in and reported to Zhao Hao quickly: "Those assassins are very extraordinary, not at all what Zhao Cheng said!"
"Oh? It seems that this guy Zhao Cheng still has some brains!"
Zhao Hao, who was studying the Mini rifle sent by the Xianyang Academy of Sciences, stopped what he was doing.
Wu Ya nodded and asked further: "Then should I go to assist Chen Ping and the others?"
"Chen Ping's brain is not comparable to that of Zhao Cheng. I believe he can handle this matter!"
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head: "Go and inform Tang Sui. No matter what happens tomorrow, it is important to save your life!"
"good!"
Wu Ya responded, turned around and left.
At this time, Yingluo walked in carrying a fruit plate and asked curiously: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Aren't you asleep too?"
Zhao Hao said without raising his head.
"I see you have been tinkering with this stick for a long time without saying anything. What on earth is this?"
"Want to know?"
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and said, "Follow me!"
With that said, he picked up the gun and walked towards the yard.
"Come here, light the torch, place a wooden target at the one hundred and fifty paces position, and also place a wooden target at the two hundred paces position!"
"promise!"
Soon, several guards followed Zhao Hao's request and lit torches and set up wooden targets in the courtyard.
This was Zhao Hao's first time to test-fire a Minie rifle, so he asked someone to clamp the gun on the table with an iron clip, and adjust the angle little by little until he could stably aim at the wooden target in the distance before he started shooting.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
He fired five shots in a row, hitting the target one hundred and fifty paces each time, punching holes in the one-inch-thick wooden target.
Such achievements have already made the surrounding guards exclaim that it is miraculous.
You must know that the crossbow they are familiar with can shoot at most 120 steps. If it shoots 150 steps, the hit rate on a target 120 steps away is only about 60%.
As for shooting at a target that is about 150 steps away, it is purely random shooting. If you can hit one out of ten shots, it is a good thing.
How miraculous it is to be able to hit the target five times.
They simply feel that their more than ten years of practicing crossbows have been in vain, and only today do they realize that there is such a powerful weapon.
In fact, the Mini rifle is a rifle. In terms of theoretical range, it is not much different from modern rifles. The only difference is the processing accuracy.
In other words, as long as the equipment of the Academy of Sciences is improved and the workers are more careful, the range of the Mini rifle will be amazing.
And when Zhao Hao was trying to fire the Mini rifle, Yingluo watched without blinking. When she saw Zhao Hao hitting the 150-step wooden target again and again, she was shocked. shocked.
What is Yueren best at?
Just sneak attack with arrows!
Although their bows and arrows are not as good as the Qin army's crossbows, their shooting accuracy is definitely not worse than the Qin army's.
However, whether it is the bows and arrows of the Yue people or the crossbows of the Qin army, the shooting distance is very limited.
Trying to compete with the Mini rifle in Zhao Hao's hand is simply a fantasy.
Therefore, when Zhao Hao tried firing the mini rifle, Yingluo was shocked more than anyone else.
It turns out that Great Qin still has such powerful weapons. No wonder Great Qin does not take its own country, or even all the Yue people, seriously.
Apart from anything else, no one can resist the weapon in Zhao Hao's hand.
Fortunately, he did not take revenge on him, otherwise his country would become the slaughterhouse of Great Qin's fire.
What Zhao Hao didn't know was that the majesty of his test-firing Mini rifle changed Yingluo's last vestige of revenge.
"I will follow you to Xianyang."
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he heard wrongly: "What?"
Yingluo said again: "I said I would go to Xianyang with you and serve you!"
Zhao Hao looked at the guards around him and said, "Yingluo, don't you think things in the South China Sea have become different?"
When Yingluo heard Zhao Hao's words, she tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "The Great Qin allows the Yue people to pass the assessment and participate in local management, and at the same time introduce the farming technology and advanced culture of the Central Plains. What the young master is talking about is 'Heji Baiyue' ?"
"Have you not noticed that there are many more Minyue people in Linchen City this month? If you stay here, you might be able to meet your relatives."
"My relatives sent me to you, whether to marry you or to be your slave. In their eyes, I am already an outsider."
Yingluo bit her red lips and said, "As long as they can live a good life, I have nothing else to ask for. Unless the young master wants to unilaterally break the agreement, it is impossible for me to leave you!"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a long time and asked: "Is it because you have an agreement with me that you won't leave me?"
Yingluo smiled proudly and scolded: "I don't know if you are stupid or I am stupid, but you still say stupid things at this time. The fruit plate is on the table, I went back to sleep, you should go to bed early too!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the courtyard.
at the same time.
Xianyang Academy of Sciences.
Researchers and deans from the West and East colleges gathered together to discuss the recent situation in Xianyang.
"Everyone, the science and technology we have learned was taught by Gongzi Hao!"
"I think that in the entire Great Qin, except for Gongzi Hao, no one understands the magic of science better than we do. As long as we can learn scientific knowledge thoroughly, the future of Great Qin will undergo earth-shaking changes."
"Young Master Hao has been away for such a long time. Everyone should have learned all the knowledge that Young Master Hao gave us, right?"
As the dean of the East Campus, Gongshu Ban was the first to stand up and speak.
In order to perform well in front of Zhao Hao, the public transport class spent a long time studying the books given by Zhao Hao.
In order to please Zhao Hao, Gongshu Family even let Gongshu Ban inherit the position of head of the family.
In addition, the public transportation class's own research capabilities are not weak, and its prestige in the Academy of Sciences is unparalleled.
As for the rest of the public losers, not to mention, they are all focused on various novel research.
Therefore, the learning progress of Science East College is still very satisfactory.
"Don't worry, Dean, we have already memorized those books by heart!"
The researchers patted their chests and assured the public transportation class.
Gongshu Ban smiled and said: "Mere endorsements are useless. Gongzi Hao has said that scientific research and theoretical knowledge are only the basis, the most important thing is practice and innovation!"
"Gongzi Hao gave us not only the books, but also the experimental equipment. Do you understand how to use them?"
"The most important thing is that you must use the theoretical knowledge you learned from books in a practical way. Only in this way can you satisfy Young Master Hao. Do you understand?"
"knew!"
All the researchers answered in unison.
"Okay, it's good that you know!"
Gongshu Ban nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Mo Xuan and Mo Ku, and continued: "Everyone, there is one more thing that you must have heard. Gongzi Hao encountered some troubles in the South China Sea, and some people maliciously spread rumors. Recently, there has been a lot of rumors in Xianyang that Gongzi Hao is not good for His Majesty, and some people are talking about it privately, including in the courtyard;
Today, I would like to emphasize in front of you that our success today has nothing to do with Young Master Hao. I hope you will keep it in mind, do your research well, and don't be influenced by the outside world! "
At this point, he paused and said righteously: "If I find that someone is entangled with the outside world, or even discloses the research results of the Academy of Sciences, I will definitely punish this person severely and expel him in accordance with the rules of the Academy of Sciences. Academy of Sciences!”
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.
After a while, someone took the lead and shouted: "Don't worry, Dean, I will never betray the Academy of Sciences or the Young Master!"
"I will never betray the Academy of Sciences, and I will never betray the Young Master!"
All the researchers agreed in unison.
Gongshuban smiled slightly.
Although Zhao Hao had always emphasized when he was in Xianyang that the duty of scientists is scientific research and has nothing to do with politics, in the public transportation class's heart, scientists still have to distinguish the situation, otherwise the things they have finally researched will be easily Become someone else’s wedding dress.
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the struggle in Xianyang has not yet affected the Academy of Sciences.
The public transportation class's worries are still somewhat unnecessary. (End of chapter)
