Chapter 041: The Battle
After understanding the difficulty of the return journey, Fu Su also braced himself to prevent being attacked by the rebels.
Ying Liang looked at the scenery outside the carriage and thought about his next plan. The Hundred Schools of Philosophy had been used by Great Qin to a certain extent, but the hidden rebellion was the biggest obstacle.
Perhaps he could manipulate the fishing boats to change the civilians 'attitude towards Great Qin, but he had to discuss this with Ying Zheng first, or else it would be very difficult to carry it out.
It was useless to think so much now. He should think about how to return to Xianyang safely first.
"Sir, there is a message from Xianyang regarding General Meng Tian.”Zhang Han came to the carriage and said.
"Oh, didn't Meng Tian go to supervise the construction of the Great Wall? Why is there news for me?" Ying Liang said in confusion, but he didn't think much of it as he took the cloth from Zhang Han.
After opening it and seeing the information recorded on the silk cloth, Ying Liang's expression became serious.
"Is there any news that made Deputy Xiao Yao so serious?" Fu Su asked after seeing it.”
Ying Liang did not say anything. He just passed the silk cloth that recorded the message to Fu Su. After Fu Su received it, he saw the message from Meng Tian.
"This? Could it be…" Fu Su said with uncertainty.
"Yes, I think it can't be wrong." Ying Liang said.
The iconic red cockscomb, long spear and round shield, the most standard infantry formation with long spears, and also liked to throw javelins. This was clearly the attire of the Roman army.
According to the battle report, Meng Tian had ordered the cavalry to chase after the Xiongnu cavalry who were pillaging the south. He had an encounter with a mysterious army. Meng Tian was overconfident and thought that the enemy's formation would be in a mess under the charge of the cavalry. However, when the cavalry was about to approach the enemy, the enemy changed their spears and threw them, killing at least half of the charging cavalry.
Meng Tian thought that his Golden Fire Cavalry could break the formation.
When the Golden Fire Cavalry circled around the enemy, the enemy huddled together, their spears facing the outside and their shields blocking. Many cavalrymen of the Qin Empire were stabbed to death by the spears, and many elite Golden Fire Cavalrymen were also killed. Moreover, the leader of this mysterious army had fought Meng Tian for several rounds, but there was no winner.
According to the military report sent by Meng Tian, this mysterious army was the Roman army from the Eastern Expedition. However, it should be an army that had lost its main force due to the unfavorable situation. Otherwise, their numbers would not be so small.
"Deputy Xiao Yao, this…" Fu Su was about to ask for a countermeasure when Ying Liang shook his head and said,""Young Master, our current mission is to safely escort the sweet potatoes to Xianyang and ensure that Great Qin does not suffer from famine.”
"Young Master Fusu, you have to know that doing everything personally might allow you to know everything like the back of your hand, but it will be very tiring. You have to learn how to use the talents under you. As long as you can control the talents under you, the Great Qin Empire will be able to truly operate.”
In Ying Liang's eyes, Ying Zheng was indeed diligent in reading hundreds of catties of bamboo slips every day, but he was carrying Great Qin on his shoulders alone.
Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who fought for hegemony in the Qin and Han Dynasties, were such people. Moreover, Xiang Yu was too conceited and did not care about the heroes of the world. On the other hand, Liu Bang trusted Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin, the three people who helped him the most. He knew that his ability was not as good as these three. I am not as good as Xiao He in guarding the country, appeasing the people, providing food and salary, and not cutting off the grain road. With a million troops, we will win the battle and win the attack. I am not as good as Han Xin. These three people are all outstanding talents. If I can use them, this is how I can seize the world.'
From this, it could be seen how Liu Bang used his subordinates. Although Liu Bang's records were not good, it could not be denied that Liu Bang was better than others in his generation in using talents.
Ying Liang wanted to tell Fu Su that if an empire wanted to last for a long time, it was not enough to rely on the emperor alone. He had to learn to use his subordinates.
The Ming Dynasty in the future could be said to have used its subordinates to the extreme. For example, if an emperor did not go to court for 30 years, although there was corruption and decline, the empire could be considered to be operating normally.
Now, the Great Qin Empire was relying on His Majesty Ying Zheng alone, which was too much of an exaggeration. Ying Liang did not deny Ying Zheng's unique ability and foresight, but Ying Zheng was too tired.
Otherwise, Ying Liang suspected that Ying Zheng had died of exhaustion when he was just forty-nine years old. Ying Zheng was the first emperor in history to complete the unification of the empire. He was not even fifty years old yet, and all the resources of the empire were concentrated on him. How could he die so early? Perhaps he had fallen ill from overwork.
Thinking of this, Ying Liang decided that when he returned to Xianyang, he would find the heir of the medical school to examine Ying Zheng's body properly. He could not let Ying Zheng die so early. This was an era where all dragons would bow their heads as long as the Ancestral Dragon did not die.
After coming back to his senses, Ying Liang looked out of the window and said to Fu Su,""What do you think after meeting the Hundred Schools of Philosophy?”
Fu Su was also stunned. He didn't expect Ying Liang to teach him about the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. After realizing it, Fu Su corrected his attitude and said,""Fusu believes that each school of thought has its own strengths, and each school's learning has its own subtleties, which are very useful in the management of the empire.”
"Then in the future, when you help Young Master Su ascend to the throne, which academic management empire will you choose?”Ying Liang asked.
"This... Deputy Xiaoyao's question shocked Fu Su. Fu Su had never thought that he would inherit his father's position in the future.”Fu Su said in panic.
"It's fine. We're just chatting now. It's nothing. Young Master Fusu, just say whatever you think of.”Ying Liang said.
"Yes, Fusu believes that the world has just ended the war and should focus on recuperating. Therefore, the Confucian school of thought can be of great use.”Fu Su said after some thought.
"Does Young Master Fusu know about this? Before coming here, Prime Minister Li Si, Great General Wang Jian, and I discussed the plan to recruit the talents of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy for Great Qin.”Ying Liang said indifferently.
"It was mentioned that if Great Qin could recruit the talents of the Hundred Schools of Thought, they would use Confucianism to educate people. To strengthen the army with military strategists, to strictly enforce the law with legalists; To investigate the weather with Taoism, to strengthen the mulberry industry with farmers…These were Great Qin's future plans for the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.”
"As an Emperor, you can't be confused by the words of a single faction. You have to gather everything that is beneficial to the Great Qin Empire and use it to strengthen the Great Qin Empire.”
"Young Master Fusu is the eldest son of His Majesty, and he was destined to be the next Emperor of the Great Qin Empire. This is not a question of whether you want to or not, but whether you can.”
