Chapter 291
But... with the deepening of the situation!
It was not easy for him to leave now!
Ying Su had already put him and Xiang Yu on the must-kill list!
And many people knew what he had done!
All of this seemed to bind him and Chanyu Modu tightly together!
At this time, wanting to leave was truly extremely difficult!
"Take one step at a time!"
Fan Zeng shook his head and sighed.
Finally, like everyone else, he returned to the tent to rest!
Tomorrow morning, they had to continue the journey!
154. Decisive battle! Xiongnu destruction! Yan Yun Eighteen Riders!
On the grassland, the cold wind whistled, and goose-feather snow flew!
On the route of Ying Su's army!
After five days of marching, finally, the army crossed the Mount Langjuxu Mountain!
This place was only less than eight hundred miles away from the Great Snow Mountain.
This was probably the distance from Xianyang City to Taiyuan!
Looking from afar, faintly, one could still see the appearance of the Snow Mountain in the distance!
Ying Su sat on a sled, watching the scenery in the distance while taking out a map to watch!
Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Wang Wang Jian, after seeing this map, all felt very confused!
Because... this map was not a map of Great Qin, nor was it a map of the Xiongnu!
But... it included both of these places!
And besides these two places, there were more and larger territories!
Among them were many places that even Wang Wang Jian and Han Xin didn't know!
Zhang Liang was also confused!
"This is..."
They all didn't understand what kind of map this was!
However, Ying Su laughed:
"This is the map of the Chinese territory!"
"It is the Great Qin territory area in my ideals!"
"What?"
Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned!
The territory area in Ying Su's ideals?
That big?
Just looking at the distribution on this map, the area alone was comparable to six or seven Great Qins!
Besides that, there were even overseas, and the Western Regions!
These places... were all in this map!
Ying Su... he actually wanted to conquer such a vast territory?
They were all shocked!
Han Xin and Zhang Liang looked at this map, and then listened to Ying Su's words, and sighed, it was too big!
It was really too big!
However, Ying Su shook his head and laughed!
The map he was holding now was just the Chinese territory area thousands of years later!
If he took out the maps of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, how shocking would that be!
Especially the Yuan Dynasty!
Spanning the Eurasian continent!
How majestic that was!
However... how should I put it!
These were hard to achieve!
The problem was not whether they could be conquered!
But... whether they could be managed!
Not to mention anything else, just take the Xiongnu territory; he and Zhang Liang had discussed many times how to settle this land once they conquered it!
"Grazing, let this become the natural horse farm of Great Qin, to build a cavalry legion of one hundred thousand, or even five hundred thousand for Great Qin!"
Zhang Liang said so!
Ying Su also had this idea!
However... he shook his head; such a large territory, just for raising horses, was too wasteful!
"Then migration, migrate the people of Great Qin here, and give them preferential treatment in taxes! In this way, control this land!"
He proposed again!
However, it was still denied by Ying Su!
Ancient society is different from modern society!
People in ancient society were very nostalgic, and not many people were willing to migrate!
Even if people died, there was the saying of falling leaves returning to their roots, let alone migrating the whole family?
If there was any way at all, who would be willing to come here!
Even with preferential treatment in taxes, it was very difficult to make people migrate!
"Then... cultivate an army here, and let the army take over the entire grassland?"
Zhang Liang spoke again!
Ying Su still shook his head!
If such a large grassland was taken over by the army, how much military force would that take!
The imperial court feeding so many troops for nothing every year was too wasteful of food and financial resources!
Ying Su denied all the methods Zhang Liang mentioned.
But he himself didn't have any good methods either!
Mainly because there was no precedent for this in history.
Even Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, only scattered the Xiongnu army and did not formally take over the management of the grassland!
The Yuan and Qing Dynasties couldn't be used as a reference either!
The main reason was that they were originally grassland people, and this was their base camp; this natural advantage was something he couldn't compare with at all!
"Set this place as a commandery, and in the future, exile criminals here, prioritizing the exile of criminals here, and then send a small number of troops to guard it!"
"Encourage them to have more children, regardless of gender, at least five children per person, and for every additional child, reduce one level of guilt!"
"At the same time, follow what you said, encourage migration and give special care in taxes, raise horses, and let this become the horse farm of the Qin State!"
"What do you think?"
Ying Su asked Zhang Liang!
Once these words were spoken, instantly, Zhang Liang's eyes lit up, and he bowed to Ying Su: "This method is feasible!"
"Those criminals, no matter how they commit crimes, are ultimately Central Plains people; they have been baptized by the Zhou Rites and educated by the various schools of thought such as Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, and Zhuangzi. Taking root here can completely occupy the grassland!"
"And, this method can be imitated!"
"In the future, when conquering other places, all can be done like this!"
Zhang Liang said excitedly.
Although Ying Su nodded, he was still not satisfied!
One Xiongnu is feasible like this.
The Western Regions are also barely okay!
What about Nanyue?
And the Roman Empire that he would attack in the future?
