I’m The King - Chapter 1494
Xianyang, after the Chinese New Year, became unusually lively. A large number of refugees poured into Xianyang from both the north and the south. The two armies of the Dahan Group obtained troops from the north and the south. The southern frontier and the northern frontier of the Qin State Both fell, and in the Bashu area, the Bashu Uprising Army controlled by the Han Army and the 50,000 New Army from Baiqi formed a confrontation. Outside Hangu Pass, Xu Yahua was retreated, but the troops of the Dahan First Military Region were gathering more and more. More and more phenomena showed that the large-scale offensive of the Han army would inevitably come as scheduled between April and June.
Most of the people who escaped into Xianyang were the people at the bottom. Their information was not smooth. According to official propaganda, Han was naturally a scourge and a great enemy of the people of Qin. If they were allowed to occupy the country of Qin, the people would naturally lose their lives. It’s hard for people to survive, but for the Qin people with a little access, these propaganda are so ridiculous. A long time ago, there were great figures in the Qin country who quietly transferred their property to the Han country. Many people in addition to maintaining face In addition to some of the needs, almost all the gold and silver that can be taken away, some underground channels have been transferred to Han. Therefore, a complete underground chain has been formed, specifically responsible for transferring property for these people. Although they charge expensive handling fees, they have always been sought after by the wealthy of Qin because of their reputation.
Of course, they can’t imagine that the top of this black industrial chain is controlled by the National Security Bureau of Han and is responsible to the Qin Intelligence Department. Controlling this black industrial chain, the Intelligence Department has obtained countless intelligence inside the State of Qin. , Knows the dynamics of Qin State well, of course, by this, they have also earned a huge amount of money, this money is not what Wang Wudi can understand. Cao Tianci privately set up a small treasury in the National Security Bureau, which is used to pay for some projects that cannot be upright.
Or some people also understand that such an industrial chain is absolutely inseparable from the control of the Han people. But what does it matter? Qin State Building will fall. What they want is to live a happy life in the new country in the future. The Han people have a private property protection law. As long as the money can be transferred to Han, an account will be opened in a bank in Han. , It’s still theirs. If it is placed in the State of Qin. That might be the case. The current Qin country is poor and exhausted, and the issue of military expenditure can no longer be collected by levying and collecting, because the people really have nothing for them to exploit. Lu Chao had already had to pay attention to those wealthy households, businessmen and officials. During the Chinese New Year alone, as many as 30 officials were arrested and put in jail, men were confiscated and women were sold.
It was during this process that Lu Chao discovered this abnormal phenomenon. Because a large part of these officials had nothing when they were ransacked. Except for some floating wealth on the surface, there is no huge wealth he imagined here.
“I want to know what’s going on?” Lu Chao asked coldly while looking at Mingtai.
Mingtai looked at the list of transcripts and was silent for a moment, and said, “The general has his own eagle department. You must already know many things.”
“In other words, you have always known that these people are quietly transferring their property to Han, right?” Lu Chao asked angrily.
“Yes. I know, because I am doing this myself.” Mingtai’s words surprised Lu Chao. Looking at this close partner, he hardly believed his ears.
“You. What did you say?”
Mingtai raised his head and looked at Lu Chao, “Of course, I am not for myself. In Qin, there is indeed such a black industrial chain. I have broken some of it, but I also kept some, because I still To take advantage of them, I transferred most of the Ming family’s property to Han, and I quietly arranged for the descendants of the Ming family to leave. Now these people have already arrived in Han.”
Lu Chao was silent. Mingtai is not the Ming family, his surname is Chen, and now he is doing this, no doubt, of course he is repaying favor.
“You don’t have confidence in the State of Qin so much, do you think Da Qin will lose?” He asked in a cold voice.
“General, until now, we actually don’t have to deceive ourselves anymore. Daqin is over. We can’t fight against Han, and it’s only a matter of time. My Mingtai will naturally advance and retreat with the general, even if we die. No regrets, but the Ming family, I can’t apologize to them, I can’t watch them die with us, so I sent away some of their descendants.” Mingtai said: “If the general is going to be punished, Mingtai has nothing to say. Speakable.”
Lu Chao looked at Mingtai, but the anger on his face gradually faded, “Forget it, Ming’s family will leave after leaving, after all, they have an extraordinary kindness to you, you and I are like brothers, this Love, I also admit it, but from now on, I don’t want such a situation to happen again. You have to cut this underground chain from the root.”
“Thank you, General.” Mingtai said, “I will definitely do it. Starting tomorrow, there will be no more gold and silver lost from Qin.”
“Even if it is a praying man’s arm, I will have to do the last fight.” Lu Chao viciously said: “I am ready to order that all males from Qin State 14 and under 60 years old will be enlisted in the army and carry their own weapons. Before the end of March, go to Xianyang, and those who do not arrive after the deadline are all rebels.
“How can a group of sheep be the lion’s opponent?” Mingtai smiled bitterly.
“But when there are a certain number of sheep, the lion can still be knocked down.” Lu Chao said coldly: “Bashu, I will give up. I have let Bai Qi lead his army back to Xianyang, Hangu Pass, and I will give up too. All the materials and workshops have already begun to retreat to Xianyang. Xu Yahua and his 100,000 army will also return to Xianyang. I will organize a million army in Xianyang to fight the Han army.”
“We have won, and there is still a glimmer of life. If we lose, we will lose a hundred.” Lu Chao raised his head and laughed like crazy.
Mingtai came out of the black ice platform, and only felt cold and swish all over, Lu Chao, it seemed that his mentality was a little abnormal, even he felt a little bit timid, and Lu Chao, who had gone crazy, did not know that he would do it again. Something to come.
Back to his mansion, his confidant Qin Yijian walked in, “The commander, the eagle is crazy. They arrested officials in Xianyang and ransacked them without any trial. Now Xianyang is up and down, people are panicking, and the Han people are still If we didn’t call, we were going to collapse ourselves.”
“The general needs a lot of money to cover the military expenses. Now that there are so many refugees in Xianyang, they also want to eat. There is no other way but to organize the men among them and turn them into an army, so that they can be easily controlled. But where does the money come from, it can only come from these people. If you don’t copy their homes, who do you copy? How much blessings these people have enjoyed in Qin, now is the time for them to make contributions.” Mingtai said coldly.
Qin Yijian shuddered, “After that Gouyi escaped from the south by chance, he completely turned into a lunatic. Even several of us in the Black Ice Platform were captured by him. I went to reason, but he was driven away. Come out. Let me be honest, or even me will be caught.”
“Since you know that he is a madman, what are you going to mess with him?” Mingtai sighed, “Please be careful not to bump into his knife. Then I will not be able to protect him, what you said. Brothers, I will let Gou Yi release them.”
“Commander, it doesn’t work like this now! We have to think of a way!”
“Okay, I want to be quiet, you go out first!” Mingtai glared at Qin Yijian and scolded.
Seeing Qin Yijian leave in shock, Mingtai covered his forehead with his hands, gently rubbed his thumbs on his temples, the tree fell to the ground, and Da Qin’s heart was separated.
Reached out and pulled out a newspaper from the drawer under the table. It was the Dahan Daily. Qin State now blocked the news from Dahan very tightly, but this did not represent people like Mingtai. Gao Yuan is the emperor, give up all power, transfer executive power to the Chamber of Deputies, transfer legislative power to the Great Council, transfer judicial power to the * Court, the Procuratorate, and the Police Department, and even the commanding power of the army is given to the head. Supplement, the big action made Mingtai dumbfounded.
I always thought that all that Gao Yuan had done by Dahan was just to confuse people. Once the overall situation was settled, he would inevitably slowly withdraw the power he released, but the facts went far beyond Mingtai’s expectations. Besides, Gao Yuan really gave up.
“It turns out that you really thought so.” He murmured in his heart. Looking at the eye-catching headlines on the newspaper, while Mingtai felt unbelievable, he also felt it was taken for granted.
Separation of powers, mutual checks and balances
Absolute power brings absolute*
Return what belongs to the people to the people
These are Gao Yuan’s recent masterpieces ~www.mtlnovel.com~, which are published on Dahan Daily and are known to every Han people. Of course, these things that are regarded as treasures by the Han people are regarded as heretics in Qin. Heresy, severely banned.
“Can you really realize what you said and thought?” Looking at the prospects of the scenes described by Gao Yuan, Mingtai felt a bit weird. “Without a strong ruler, your big man can really do this? No, I don’t believe that the reason why the big man has the present kindness is because of your existence. Once you are not there, he will inevitably have problems. You surrender power, or it is the first step in the decline of the big man.”
Mingtai said to himself in his heart. Even in the Dahan Daily, there are various voices. There are many who oppose it, and the Han people are indeed very interesting. Although Gao Yuan’s masterpiece is on the first page of the first page, it is in the vice On the second page of the second edition, articles that refute Gao Yuan are also endless. The Dahan Daily can actually publish it as it is, and Gao Yuan also ignores it. There was even a debating with these people in the newspaper.
From Mingtai’s point of view, such a thing is totally unimaginable. How can the dignity of the emperor be so easily lost, or is this the freedom of speech that the Han nation calls it?
Can’t understand! (To be continued.)
