Ying Lin made an exception and promoted Qi Yi as a young envoy.
The emissary's salary was 400 koku, and his title was equivalent to a county magistrate. He was the lowest rank among the emperor's concubines, but he was higher than ordinary palace maids and female officials in the harem.
On the one hand, it was to give the Qi family some face.
On one hand, the Six Nations Palaces needed help to manage.
Qi Yi's mind was still rather nimble. At that time, he had used the metaphor of a thousand gold horse bones to save his entire family, leaving a good impression on Ying Lin. It just so happened that the Six Nations Palace needed a suitable internal affairs officer, so Ying Lin handed this matter to Qi Yi.
Although the young messenger is low level.
However, he now had an official status.
Qi Yi and his daughter were overjoyed.
Qi Sai was a criminal who had once sought refuge with Liu Bang.
Now, the emperor had no regrets about the past, which was undoubtedly a great favor.
It was also a political move.
In the future, this matter would be publicized as a case study.
It would definitely cause many of the nobles who were forced to join the rebel army to abandon the dark and turn to the light.
Qi Yi was even more elated about this. Although the decision to enter the palace was proposed by the clan, Qi Yi herself did not resist it. After personally witnessing Ying Lin's various deeds, she had already developed a deep admiration for this supreme person who was no older than two years old.
He was promoted to junior envoy.
He had officially become His Majesty's man.
It was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for her.
Several days passed.
Nothing major happened.
Ying Lin stayed in Xianyang and paid close attention to the battle report at Hangu Pass.
Hangu Pass was very close to Xianyang, so ten fast horses took turns to run back and forth every day. Therefore, the latest reports were delivered every hour to ensure that they would not miss any important military intelligence.
As expected.
The two sides entered a stalemate.
Although the Qin army was at a disadvantage in terms of size and military strength, Hangu Pass was impregnable with Jiang Shang overseeing it. It would not be so easy for the rebel army to break through. As long as they stalled for time, they would be able to kill hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Other than these reports that were constantly being sent back.
Ying Lin was still waiting for news from the Black Ice Platform.
In this era, there was no means of instant communication, so the efficiency of transmitting information was very slow. As expected, Feng Xuan and his men had already entered the enemy camp. However, it was not so easy to transmit information to Xianyang.
Ying Lin sat there quietly.
He opened the system interface.
The current details were as follows.
————
[Host: Ying Lin]
[Identity: King of Qin]
[Fate: 4504 points.]
[Current inheritances: Chiyou, King Wu of Zhou, Lord Mengchang…(omitted)]
————
In the past few days.
Although they did not achieve a great victory.
However, Little Sheng continued to kill the rebel generals, including Huan Chu.
These victories and battle results would be converted into Fate to a certain extent. In addition, Ying Lin would also continuously produce Fate, so his Fate had already reached more than 4,500.
He didn't want to wait any longer.
Although the more luck he accumulated.
The better the inheritance he could draw.
However, the problem was that based on the current situation.
It was unrealistic to think that he could break the deadlock and kill Xiangyu in an instant.
If he was lucky enough, he might be able to get a general or an army, which would help him break the current stalemate faster.
Thinking of this.
He no longer hesitated.
"Consumed 4000 Fate!"
Obtaining Zheng He's inheritance!
[Inheritance 1:30 Zheng He's Treasure Ships]
[Inheritance 2:500 Ming Dynasty military ships!]
[Legacy 3:8000 elite crew members!]
Not bad.
Although he did not get any top-notch troops or talents.
However, the value of this inheritance was astonishing.
Zheng He was a character from the early 15th century. The first time he went to sea was in the third year of Yongle, which was 1405 AD.
Yongle was the heyday of the Ming Empire.
Zheng He's fleet was the symbol of the Ming Empire's strength. Its scale, quality, and level of advancement were far superior to the ships of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Although he did not inherit all the ships and crew.
However, 30 treasure ships and 500 military ships were still an unrivaled large fleet in this era. Whether it was used to quell rebellions, to build a national waterway transportation network, or to explore the ocean, they would be of great value.
Apart from that.
In Zheng He's inheritance.
There were 8,000 elite crew members.
Zheng He's fleet not only had elite navy soldiers, but also skilled sailors, experienced captains, highly skilled boatmen and craftsmen, as well as 360 lines of craftsmen!
They were all talents that Great Qin lacked.
If Great Qin were to nurture them, it would take at least five to eight years to create such a team. These 8,000 elite sailors were priceless treasures!
Alright.
Very good.
Ying Lin was very satisfied.
The 4,000 Fate did not go to waste.
The only flaw was that there were no top-notch land troops.
Thus, although Zheng He's inheritance was very useful, it could not play a decisive role in resisting the hundreds of thousands of troops outside Hangu Pass.
At this moment.
Long Shuai Duan Xiu reported in a deep voice.
"Master, the Black Ice Platform's secret envoy requests an audience!”
Any news?
Ying Lin's heart stirred.
He nodded at the Dragon Guard.
"I am Lu Ren, the secret envoy of the Black Ice Platform. I have come to deliver the latest information from outside the pass to Your Majesty.”
A plain-looking, skinny, and small man who was almost unrecognizable in the crowd walked in.
This person was one of the followers of Lord Mengchang's legacy. He was unknown and did not have any special skills. The only thing he could do was run. He was also good at riding horses. He was a natural messenger, so he was in charge of delivering messages.
He sent over a silk scroll.
Feng Xuan wrote down all the information on it.
Although it was concise and comprehensive, there was too much information, so it was densely written. There were more than 300 words.
It was simple and crude.
The way the information was conveyed was too crude.
If this silk book was intercepted by the rebel army, Feng Xuan would definitely be exposed, and the information would become invalid. A truly mature intelligence agency should use encryption to transmit information.
However…
The Black Ice Platform had just been built.
It was a critical time now, and he couldn't be picky.
Feng Xuan sent back all the information that the Black Ice Platform's secret envoy had access to.
It included the deployment of the rebel army, the distribution of rations, their greatest weakness, the movements of the army, and even the situation of the rebel general Zhang Han.
After reading it.
He frowned.
He pondered for a long time.
Ying Lin opened his mouth and said,"Invite Ziying into the palace!"”
"Yes!"
Ying Lin muttered to himself.
He added,"Let Zhang Liang come too!"”
