Chapter 109 I will never return to the court until the Xiongnu are destroyed!!!
The morning light is like fine gold, gradually falling from the eastern sky. The morning glow is like fire, dyeing half of the sky into a poetic and picturesque picture.
Officials came from all directions, and their figures gathered into torrents outside the court, and finally poured into the majestic and solemn hall.
At this moment, they stood in an orderly manner according to their rank, and everyone's face was filled with solemnity and dignity!
In the court, Ye Chi stood out.
He had a tall and straight figure, walked calmly, and his dark official uniform made him look even more steady.
He walked through the long corridor, taking every step firmly and powerfully, as if he wanted to deeply imprint his belief and determination on this ancient bluestone slab!
At this moment, the sound of a bell rang out, echoing throughout the court, shocking everyone's hearts! !
They all looked up and saw the First Emperor wearing an imperial robe, with a winch sword hanging from his waist, slowly stepping onto the Dragon Platform!
The First Emperor's eyes were like two sharp swords, sharp and deep.
He slowly scanned the ministers, and every glance seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Finally, his eyes fell on Ye Chi.
Ye Chi understood what he meant, straightened his clothes, stepped out calmly, held the tablet in both hands, and bowed deeply!
"Your Majesty," Ye Chi's voice was loud and resonant in the court, "During this search and seizure, we have found rich family wealth, vast farms and houses, and many slaves in the names of counties and clans in the empire!"
"These goods and slaves can become the cornerstone of our Great Qin's overseas colonization!!"
When the First Emperor heard this, his heart moved!
He thought of the colonial art that Ye Chi had explained to him. The grand blueprint gradually overlapped with the reality before his eyes, and a sense of pride surged in his heart! !
His gaze became increasingly fiery, as if it could see through all obstacles!
"Okay!" The First Emperor slapped the dragon table and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Ye, I order you to personally prepare for the colonization. You must do your best!"
Ye Chi leaned forward to accept the order, a determined look on his face.
"Also," the First Emperor continued, "I have made up my mind to build large ships and conquer the ocean. Li Si, you will assist Ye Qing and select brave men who are good at water to form the navy of our Qin! There must be no mistakes!"
Li Si stepped out with steady steps. His expression was solemn, and a firmness was revealed between his brows!
He is fully aware of the responsibility he shoulders and understands the difficulty and importance of this task.
Now that the clan power has been liquidated and the court is united, it is the best time for Your Majesty to prepare for war! !
He looked up at the First Emperor on the Dragon Terrace, his eyes firm and full of conviction.
As your Majesty's right-hand man, he will do his utmost to support your Majesty's decision and contribute everything to the future of Daqin! !
"Your Majesty," Li Si reported in a loud voice, "I will do my best to assist Lord Ye in preparing for war and live up to your Majesty's trust!"
Upon hearing this, the First Emperor showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He was well aware of Li Si's talents and abilities, and was full of trust and expectations for him.
In the court, all the ministers were also infected by Li Si's determination. They were all excited and eager to take action.
It was as if they had seen the dawn of victory and the scene of the Qin flag fluttering in the wind over the vast ocean.
What glory and splendor it is!
Their hearts are full of anticipation and yearning, and they are eager to personally participate in this great journey.
At the same time, Ye Chi did not stop, he immediately reported: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works has carefully crafted hundreds of huge cannons, with unparalleled power!"
"Our Great Qin is now strong and powerful, with high morale. This is a good opportunity to use our military force abroad and expand our territory!!"
When the First Emperor heard this, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. He pondered for a moment, then slowly turned his gaze to the clan children in the court.
Although these young men came from prominent families, many of them were from distant branches and were restricted by clan laws and family rules. They found it difficult to get involved in government affairs, let alone a successful career in the government.
Now that the big clans have collapsed, they are free like birds out of a cage!
"I have made up my mind," the First Emperor announced in a deep voice, "I want you clan members to follow me in this war and make achievements. This is not only a chance for you to serve me and be loyal to the Qin Dynasty, but also a chance for you to make a name for yourself and bring glory to your family!!"
As soon as the words fell, the court suddenly became boiling!
The descendants of the clan's side branches were all in high spirits, rubbing their hands together, with unprecedented excitement and anticipation on their faces!
They knew very well that this was a great opportunity to break free from the shackles of the clan and realize their ambitions!
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the clan members shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky. "We will do our best to expand the territory for the Great Qin and establish immortal merits!"
The First Emperor looked at the group of enthusiastic young people in front of him and felt very satisfied.
He knew very well that although these clan members were of noble birth, they also longed to achieve great things and go down in history.
Now that he has given them such an opportunity, he believes they will cherish it and do their best!
The situation in the court was turbulent.
At this moment, Meng Tian was standing among the ministers, his eyes were sharp, and he was already eager to try.
He looked around and saw that the clan members were eager to make achievements. And he himself was also eager to show his skills!
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the court! !
A scout flew in, holding an 800-mile urgent military report, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, urgent news from the northern border!!!"
"The Xiongnu army is invading our borders, and the people are suffering. We request the court to send reinforcements as soon as possible!!"
When Meng Tian heard this, his blood boiled!
Hey guys, I was just looking for a place to vent my anger, and now it's you! !
He took a step forward, his voice sonorous and powerful: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to fight, annihilate the Xiongnu, and restore peace to the northern border of the Great Qin!!"
The First Emperor's eyes flashed. He knew Meng Tian's abilities very well, and now was the time to use him.
He asked in a deep voice: "Meng Tian, what are your plans?"
Meng Tian said without hesitation: "I only ask your majesty for 50,000 elite soldiers to attack the Xiongnu's lair! We will annihilate them in one fell swoop! At the same time, I will set up strongholds along the way to lay a solid foundation for your majesty's subsequent colonial plan."
After hearing this, the First Emperor was very satisfied.
The first step of this colonization began with the suppression of the Huns!
He immediately gave the order: "Approved! Meng Tian, I order you to set out today and lead an army of 50,000 to crush the Xiongnu!"
"We must win this battle and spread the power of the Qin Empire!"
Meng Tian leaned forward to accept the order, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this expedition was of great significance. It not only concerned the safety of the Qin Dynasty, but was also a great opportunity for him to achieve great things.
He immediately swore: "Your Majesty, rest assured! I will not return to the court until I have destroyed the Xiongnu!!!"
