The Qin Dynasty perished after only two generations? My Great Qin also needs an Emperor Taizong!

In today's world, to put it simply: even if the old nobles of Qin could tolerate Qin law being held to their throats, could the nobles of the six states east of the mountains tolerate it?

The answer is obvious.

Just by looking at the ever-expanding prisons within the Qin territory, as long as the King of Qin is not incompetent, he can understand that the nobles of the six states east of the mountains are not convinced.

Therefore, Lord Shang also said: There is no single way to govern the world, and there is no single way to make a country prosperous.

In other words, as times change, the law should also change accordingly.

Under these circumstances, although King Ying Zheng of Qin did not care about the petty tricks of the nobles of the six states, he had indeed made preparations for reform.

Moreover, in the imperial court, where Ying Mu had no access, this grand scheme was already slowly unfolding.

But Ying Mu knew something else: after the unification of the world, the Qin King Ying Zheng would soon be leading a high-pressure reform, and within a short span of a dozen years, the unification of writing and the standardization of cart axles would be completed. This extremely confident emperor only decided to let the world recuperate before his death and made his own choice regarding the position of crown prince.

Unfortunately, faced with the arrogant edicts of the two civil officials, Li Si and Zhao Gao, Fusu committed suicide!

Therefore, Ying Mu had actually thought this through two years ago. Since he couldn't go back after coming here, he would learn to fight the Xiongnu while trying to reverse the situation of the Qin Dynasty's demise after only two generations.

And this might just be the main mission for this transmigrator, one he can't escape.

As for how far things can go in the future... only God knows.

Logically speaking, a time traveler arriving in this era, facing the chaos of warring states, would certainly help the King of Qin unify the world. This is true from the perspective of national righteousness and morality, and also from a personal perspective... After all, who wants to be branded as a sinner who hinders the unification of the world? The least efficient, or rather, the most irresponsible way, could be to lie low in Xianyang, help King Zheng of Qin recuperate, and then promote unification, right?

Even from a rational perspective, it was still about promoting unification.

Even if Ying Mu didn't have much historical knowledge, he had still gone through nine years of compulsory education. He at least knew that the establishment of the feudal imperial society was indeed a kind of progress for today's society.

Moreover, from another perspective, if there had been no unified and powerful nation to allocate resources to stop the drastic changes on the grasslands, the world would probably have been plunged into darkness again, as seen in the Five Barbarian Invasions, the Yuan Dynasty's chaos, and the Manchu invasion of China. In these historical episodes of the collapse of rites and music, anyone who knows that these people treated the common people as equals, like pigs and sheep, could they still have the conscience to say that the society under the rule of nomadic peoples was better than the unified imperial system?

So, returning to the present, the trend of Qin unifying the world was indeed unstoppable, but how to govern the people of the six states within its vast territory was a very vague and big problem.

According to Fusu, we should learn from the ruling ideas of the nobility and then gradually change them by combining them with Qin law!

This is the most frustrating thing for Prince Mu—Fusu's idea might be feasible, but history has proven that such a proposal would lead to incompatibility between the Qin king and his ministers…

"Brother, are they guards sent by Father?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Ying Mu, who was standing at the door, came back to his senses and turned around to see Ying Yinman dressed in black, with short hair that reached her ears, sitting obediently at the table in front of the stone steps, staring at him with bright eyes.

Beside her, Chunxue, dressed in coarse linen clothes, held her belly with her hands and served her.

Ying Mu turned and left the courtyard gate. "When did Yin Man wake up?"

"I woke up when my brother was scolding Xiaoshanzi..."

Ying Yinman blinked her bright eyes gently, her still slightly chubby cheeks puffing out as she said in a muffled tone, "I just felt that the guards were different from those in the palace, so I hid from them."

"Yinman did the right thing." Ying Mu gave a thumbs-up in praise, then sat opposite Yinman, who was sipping goat's milk, and explained softly, "They are all old Qin people who survived the battlefield. They have made great contributions in battle and all hold the eighth-rank nobility. They have a lot of skills."

The little girl tilted her head and asked softly, "Brother, will you be learning skills from them from now on?"

"Not yet. Right now, the main thing is to have them help train the soldiers in the military camp at the foot of the mountain. After breakfast, brother will go to the military camp to make arrangements..." The young master suddenly looked up at Chunxue and the other two women halfway through his sentence.

Over the years, the two women had clearly grasped some of the young master's ways, and immediately got up and left.

"The sentry posts are not yet fully established, so Yin Man cannot go out with us, much less mingle with the army." Ying Mu continued speaking only after the two women had walked away.

"ah?!"

Seeing the slightly disappointed look on the little girl's face, Ying Mu pointed to the big black dog resting in the tree and smiled at her, "But that's perfect, since your brother isn't here, can Yin Man help take care of the big black dog?"

The little girl's dejected expression vanished instantly, and she exclaimed loudly, "Okay!"

Seeing the little girl agree, Ying Mu turned her head and asked with a smile, "Has Yin Man learned to whistle yet?"

"certainly!"

The little girl confidently imitated Ying Mu's manner and blew a strange whistle. The black bird in the tree suddenly woke up, tilted its head, looked at the two figures below, and spread its wings to fly down from its nest.

……

Three days later, on the open ground outside the military camp at the foot of the mountain, there were dozens of neat and densely packed rows of soldiers, all dressed in padded robes and holding wooden sticks.

"Go!" Chang Sheng stood in front of the platform, holding Qin Jian, and roared.

Flags waved, and soldiers marched forward like an overwhelming tide.

This was not a battlefield, and there were no enemy soldiers, so the group simply strolled from the left side of the camp to the right side. When they stopped, their formation remained perfectly square.

Li Zheng silently stood aside, carrying the three-meter-long banner on one shoulder and watching.

The fact that a few hundred men could surprise the King of Qin was due to two main factors: the improved cavalry combat capabilities of the horse equipment and the seemingly unified infantry march. However, after seeing it, Lao Baizhong said that although the formation looked impressive, it had never seen blood and was actually quite weak.

It's not surprising that this army emphasizes formation, but the quality of soldiers cannot be judged solely on this aspect.

To truly instill fear in the enemy, one must demonstrate genuine skill. A strong army is one that can withstand the onslaught of tanks without losing its composure; a good soldier is one who has the courage to face the enemy's formation head-on.

Ying Mu agreed with the old general's statement.

So, back to the present, three-quarters of these two thousand men are new recruits. The young master also said that the king would send veteran soldiers to guide the military formation drills, but they didn't know when the veterans would arrive. With no other choice, they had to train like this for now.

"Change formation!" This shout came from Lou Wen and Zhang Xian, who were standing next to Chang Sheng.

With the command flags waving, the front ranks become the rear ranks, and the rear ranks become the front ranks.

A moment later, the group turned around, and with a command, they kicked and landed again... The two thousand people walked and stopped in the camp, training in a monotonous manner.
