Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 243 Supervising the Army
"Your Majesty has made the decision!"

"I'll let you follow Prince Fusu to Shangjun as a military supervisor!"

In Xianyang City,

Lord Dingyang gave a serious notice to his son.

Hei Yi was shocked, pointed at himself and said, "Ah, me?"

"I'm going to monitor General Meng Tian?"

Shangjun,

It was a county in the northern part of the Qin Dynasty.

At this time, Meng Tian was building the Great Wall there, defending against the Huns from outside and encouraging the migrated people to settle and cultivate the land.

As for Meng Tian himself,
He was a famous general of the Qin Dynasty. When he was young, he studied military tactics with Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an. He was a very capable person.

The relationship between the Montessori and the Hei family is also very close.

Meng Ao, the ancestor of the Meng family, served in the State of Qin during the reign of King Zhaoxiang, and Hei family's ancestor also served as a minister during the reign of King Zhaoxiang.

The two companies developed almost simultaneously.

By the time of Heizhuang's generation, they had all become the emperor's close ministers, and so became even closer.

There is only one person in black.

The descendants of Hei were not prosperous either.

Therefore, many times, Heizhuang was kept in Xianyang by the emperor and followed him around.

However, the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi of the Meng family, one inside and one outside, were highly valued by the emperor.

Meng Tian built the Great Wall in the north to repel the Huns, which further proved his ability and loyalty.

No one can think of it,
At the beginning of the year, the emperor suddenly expressed doubts about Meng Tian's work.

Establishing a post like "Military Supervisor"

Isn't that just showing your suspicion?

and,

Let the eldest prince Fusu go!

Before this,

The father and son had just had another argument.

Such an order from the emperor inevitably makes people feel that he is really angry this time.

However, as the emperor's close minister and relative, Hei always understood the emperor's intentions.

Fusu was sent to Shangjun, and was by the side of the loyal Meng Tian. How could it be considered "exile"?

If asking the prince to leave the capital and go to a place of hardship and poverty is the monarch's expression of his disgust, then what about the Qin kings who have been hostages throughout the ages?
The Qin Dynasty had not been unified for long.

There are still some remnants of the customs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In such troubled times, a young man who grew up in the palace in a pampered manner and had never been exposed to the hardships of the outside world would not be recognized by his king and father and be included in the list of heirs to be considered.

of course,

King Jian of Qi was an exception.

Who would have thought that his parents were a rare pair of true love?

"Your Majesty probably did this because he hoped that the eldest son could learn more about the situation outside the country!"

The Huns lived a nomadic life and were very flexible in their movements on the grasslands.

Although he was driven away by Meng Tian,

But just like a wild dog, as long as it is not beaten to death, one day those barbarians will appear and bite it hard.

This is the valuable experience summed up by the Qin people in fighting against the Western Rong over the past 700 years, and it has been integrated into the Qin people's bones and blood.

This is also the reason why the emperor insisted on building the Great Wall after defeating the Huns in the north.

But Fusu didn't understand this.

He was born in the stable and prosperous city of Xianyang, and the most painful thing he had ever experienced was the betrayal and killing among his family members.

His father was a powerful ruler who unified the world, so he was not eligible to be sent abroad as a hostage.

His teacher was a great Confucian scholar from Qi, who constantly told Fusu the idea that "human nature is good".

Therefore, it is inevitable that the young Fusu had a kind of clear innocence when looking at the affairs of the world.

right now,

Through the Shitian incident, Fusu has grown a lot and learned some about the internal situation of the country.

He became steady and pragmatic.

Therefore,
The emperor now wants to send him to the north, to the frontier of the empire, in the hope that he can understand why he is building the Great Wall.

The enemy of the Xia people is the grass on the grassland.

They will wither and fade in the snow of autumn and winter, and grow wildly in the sunshine of spring and summer. They will exist forever.

However, the empire's territory is too vast and its borders are too long, so it is impossible to completely keep such an enemy out.

The cost of stationing troops is too great.
The cost of defense is too high.
Then,

Just build the wall!

After all, building the Great Wall is an old tradition passed down by the ancient sages of the Chinese nation!

The Emperor felt:
When Fusu arrives at the border and sees the situation there, he should be able to understand his painstaking efforts.

Taking advantage of this opportunity,
Fusu can also establish a good relationship with Meng Tian.

The other party is an important general of the empire. With his support, it will be much easier for Fusu to succeed to the throne in the future.

But when the emperor thought about Fusu's character, he might have some rift with Meng Tian, who came from a military background. So, the emperor arranged for Hei Yi to go there to mediate.

"This is how much His Majesty values you. Don't embarrass me!"

"Don't act so reluctant!"

After Hei Zhuang explained the reason to his son, he slapped Hei Yi twice on the back, almost causing internal injuries to Hei Yi.

Hei Yi quickly said, "I know, I know!"

"But what about the little prince?"

"I promised before that I would take him out for horseback riding when the weather is nice!"

Hearing this,

Hei Zhuang glared again, "How dare you play with him like this?"

"The punishment last time was too light, wasn't it!"

Hei Yi said, "It's his nature, what can I do?"

"And he asked for my sister's consent first, and then asked her to inform me!"

"If you want to punish someone, you should punish that loving mother!"

The child's mother agreed to do this. What could Hei Yi, an uncle who had been oppressed by his elder sister since childhood and had to work like a slave for his nephew when he grew up, and carried him around to play, do?
"How dare you talk back!"

"Find a fight!"

Hei Zhuang simply ignored his daughter who had already married and just taught his son a lesson.

then,

Waiting for the day of departure,
Fusu noticed that Hei Yi's brother-in-law had some redness and swelling on his face.

He wanted to say something to show his concern, but when he turned around, a loud cry was heard, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"uncle!"

The little prince slid down from his mother's arms, ran over, hugged Hei Yi's thighs, cried heart-wrenchingly, and was reluctant to let go.

Hei Yi was also very sad, so he squatted down and cried with Ying Pijiang in his arms.

Wang Sun's mother was very helpless. She took two steps forward and separated the uncle and nephew with her supreme strength. She said to Ying Pijiang, "And your father!"

Ying Pijiang wiped his tears with his chubby hands and said, "Father won't take me to ride a big horse!"

Sha forcefully picked up her son and threw him next to Fusu.

"But the Shangjun where my father went borders the grassland, and there are as many horses as you want there!"

Hearing this,

Ying Pijiang immediately twisted his body, hugged Fusu's thighs, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Father, father!"

"Remember to bring the horse back for me!"

Fusu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He could only hold the heavy child in his arms and agreed to his request.

Sha pinched the soft flesh on Ying Pijiang's face and taught him a lesson, then looked at Fusu:
"It's very windy and frosty in the north, so take good care of yourself."

"Ah."

"Shangjun is a frontier, and there have been frequent wars recently. The situation is very different from that in Xianyang. If you encounter a problem, you must consider the opinions of General Meng Tian and don't pay attention to your gentlemanly faults."

Fusu remained silent and did not answer.

So Sha moved her hand from the child's face to her husband's waist.

Fusu immediately shuddered, then smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay!"

then,

He climbed onto the frame.
Hei Yi also mounted his horse,

Heading towards the north.

At the same time, Fengyi

A family moved here from another place and announced that they would settle down here.
