The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The sun and the moon rotate, and the white horse passes by. Before you know it, a year and a half has passed.

It was August of the twenty-fifth year of Yongli.

The autumnal equinox is approaching, and the people are preparing to sow wheat. At the same time, the corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fields have also been harvested, and the fruits are abundant.

Although this year's summer has experienced an unprecedented hot summer, severe drought occurred in a large area, and the rice production has been greatly reduced, but fortunately, the diversified planting of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes has prevented the hard-working people from losing their harvest.

Since Shen Wansan returned from sailing to bring back sweet potatoes and cotton in March last year, the Daxia court began to comprehensively promote new crops in the territory, forcing the people to plant them. After a year and a half of promotion, at this moment, whether it is Daxia territory It is the newly expanded Anxi 14 prefectures, all of which are planted in a variety of ways. After seeing the advantages of the new crops, the people are naturally happy from ear to ear.

On the other hand, the other five countries are miserable.

The Yuan Kingdom, the northernmost country, has experienced a severe winter of minus 40 degrees. Countless cattle, sheep and horses froze to death. When everything should recover in the beginning of spring, the ice and snow have not yet melted. After finally waiting for the ice and snow to melt, the temperature suddenly rose. Under a series of blows, there was turmoil in the country of Yuan. In order to appease the tribes, the Khan of the country of Yuan sent his troops south again to plunder the country of Qi.

It's just...the ten rooms and ten rooms in the northern part of Qi State have been robbed, and the temperature drops in winter and drought in summer. The fertile fields in the northern part of Qi State have greatly reduced production and even failed to harvest, making it even more difficult for the people of Qi State who are already short of food. Therefore, in the face of the invading Yuan army, the remaining people in the north also left their homes and became refugees and migrated to the south.

The Yuan army had no choice but to continue to loot south.

At this time, in the territory of Qi State, peasant uprisings continued to spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the number of them made Emperor Qi scratch his head in a hurry to suppress them frantically. And the first three insurgents were very fierce, and they had already occupied several states and made themselves kings.

Now that the Yuan army looted again, Qi Huang sat paralyzed on the dragon chair, unable to gather troops to fight against the Yuan army.

The only thing that made Emperor Qi rejoice was that the soldiers and horses of Daxia had never moved, and they had been stationed in Fengtian. However, the territory south of Fengtian City has also been reduced to the territory of Daxia. Originally, it was expected that the righteous soldiers of Qi State could rise up and resist, but they surrendered to Daxia in less than a year, which once again verified the law of true fragrance.

Now Qi's internal turmoil and foreign enemies continue, and it is only a matter of God's disaster before it falls apart.

The situation of Yan Guo and Wei Guo is not optimistic either.

These two countries have been fighting for a few months before a truce. God has not spared any country. Some places in Yan State and Wei State are devastated, and some places have floods. The people are already living in dire straits and rely on the relief of the imperial court, and the country dare not go to war to waste resources.

Then there is the powerful Qin State.

Again, God has not spared any country.

There was also drought and locust plagues in Qin State, especially the terrible locusts swept across several counties in Daqin, resulting in no grain harvest. However, the state of Qin has a solid background and is not as flustered as Qi and Yan. Look at the Emperor Qin, who sent 200,000 troops to the north from the occupied Zhao land and began to capture the Yuan Dynasty. Qin Huang has never forgotten his great cause of unifying the world. In his opinion, the more disasters occur frequently, this is an opportunity to take advantage of the general trend to unify China!

That's right, following the trend of the sky, this is indeed the best chance to unify China, because the disaster will hit every country hard, but unfortunately, Qin Huang encountered a cheating Da Xia!

At this time, in the Qin Palace, Qin Huang was discussing matters with the prime minister.

On the dragon table in front of Qinhuang, there are corn, potatoes, cotton and sweet potatoes. These things are naturally stolen from Daxia, because the whole territory of Daxia has been fully diversified this year, and this result brought Qin Huang a lot of attention. Here comes the horror.

People in their own country have reduced food production or even no grains. Why can Daxia, which is also suffering from the disaster, still have a bumper harvest?

As early as last year, a spies reported to Emperor Qin that Emperor Daxia was promoting a brand-new crop and forced the people to plant it. At that time, Emperor Qin didn't care. He didn't expect that after more than a year, he would slap him in the face.

Li Si, Prime Minister of Qin State, was introducing the yield and advantages of new crops. The more he listened, Qin Huang's eyelids twitched violently.

"These four new crops appeared to survive the disaster. They have never appeared in the mainland of China before. Why did they suddenly appear?" Qin Huang said angrily.

Prime Minister Li Sidao: "Your Majesty, I suspect that Daxia found it from other regions through sailing. This is the only reason that can explain it. Moreover, for more than a year, all the work of Emperor Daxia has focused on the basic necessities of the people. Roads, digging rivers, promoting new crops, allowing people in coal mines to dig... Emperor Xia seems to know that the world is in turmoil and disasters are everywhere."

"We Daqin are now promoting this new crop, can we do it?" Qinhuang asked.

Li Si sighed, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is very difficult. There are a lot of seeds needed to spread the whole Qin State. Now Xia State prohibits the trade of these four new crops. Once discovered, they will be severely punished, especially for our Daqin. Stick to it. Even if we bring back some seeds by smuggling, it will take several years, or even longer, to promote the world!"

Qin Huang was so angry that he snapped at the dragon case and scolded: "You are so angry! Emperor Xia is indeed insidious, making a fortune in silence. Even if it takes a long time, it must be promoted, otherwise the gap between the strengths of Daqin and Xia will become more and more disparate." The widows can also see that this disaster will not stop, and the situation will even get worse."

"The minister obeyed the order and tried his best to get new crops!" Li Si replied.

Qin Huang nodded, and then said: "The new crop is a sharp knife hanging above the head, and the gunpowder is the knife stabbed in the heart. How is the gunpowder investigation going?"

Li Si sighed: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Xia Guo is very cautious in the production and use of gunpowder. I tried my best to get some, but there are many confusing things in the gunpowder. Therefore, it is very difficult to calculate the finished product by analyzing Xia Guo's gunpowder. It’s hard to do. So I can only let the alchemist study it by himself. If there is a certain result, but the power... the power is far inferior to Xia Guo gunpowder!"

"I know that the power is not as good as Xia Guo gunpowder! Then there must be a comparison, how much is the difference?" Qin Huang asked.

Li Si replied: "Only one-tenth of the power, or even less!"

Qin Huang was startled, stood up abruptly, and asked, "What? One-tenth of the power? Then what's the use of our research on gunpowder?"

Li Si was silent.

Qin Huang became angry with jealousy, and shouted: "Xia Guo, Xia Guo, is it God who favored Xia Huang? Not only did he get new crops, but he also had gunpowder, a magic weapon! Now the world has spread, Zhao Guozhi His death was caused by the prince of Xia who used gunpowder to blow him up! The widow shudders when he thinks about it now! If the news of the gunpowder hadn’t leaked out, wouldn’t it be easy for Xia to blow up the widow?”

"What's even more irritating is that Emperor Xia has such a magical weapon, and even uses it to blow up mountains to open roads and build rivers. If I give it to me, I can completely sweep the world, sweep the five kingdoms, and unify China!"

"It's violent!"

...

Li Si listened quietly to Qin Huang's roar, but he couldn't restrain himself from sighing.

Is Emperor Xia really reckless?

Since last year, all the Emperor Xia’s plans have been to deal with the disaster. He seems to know that the disaster is a long-term problem, so he promotes new crops, uses gunpowder to build mountains and rivers, manages rivers in areas where floods may occur, and makes barren The people of the land moved to Anxi Province.

It can be said that in the past two years, under the influence of disasters and wars, the strength of the other five countries has declined, and only Xia's national strength has been steadily rising!

It used to be said that Qin State was number one, but now? He, Li Si, is the prime minister of Qin, and now he has no face to boast.

What is even more sad is that His Majesty's campaign against the Yuan Kingdom has not stopped. Although it has already occupied a lot of land in the Yuan Kingdom, which covers an area of ​​nearly three counties, it seems that the record is good. That is because the Yuan Kingdom has a vast territory and 70% of the tribes are concentrated in the east.

Now, with the invasion of Qin State, and the fact that Yuan State went south to plunder Qi State to gain less, Yuan State's voice for attacking Qin State is very loud! The Khan of Yuan State also had this intention long ago. Since Qi State has no food, Qin State has it! Qin State has occupied so much land of Zhao State, it is time for them to bleed.

Li Si spoke out more than once, persuading His Majesty to stop fighting and recuperate. Yuan Guo is a savage in the grassland, so don't pay attention to it, but Qin Huang just doesn't listen.

Just as Li Si was thinking about it, Qin Huang, who had finished his roar, asked, "How is the formation of the Great Qin Navy? Where is the Xia Kingdom Navy on the other side?"

Li Sidao: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are more than 80,000 kinds of naval forces, with thousands of ships of all sizes. Xia Guo's navy is estimated to be 70,000, and the number of ships is almost the same as that of Daqin."

Emperor Qin nodded, and shouted: "Da Qin and Xia Kingdom will have a battle sooner or later, but I can see that the longer the delay, the worse it is for Da Qin. Since you can't get new crops by smuggling, then grab it! As long as An Xixing, who occupies Xia Kingdom Province, got the fourteen states of Daxia, are you afraid that there will be no seeds for new crops?"

Li Si moved his mouth, he saw His Majesty's persistence, especially after being stimulated by the new crops, he couldn't wait to fight Daxia.

"Your Majesty, the people in the old land of Zhao State still have a low sense of belonging to the Great Qin. Rebels are everywhere and rush to attack Xia State. I am worried that the rebels of Zhao State will take the opportunity to revolt!" Li Si reported.

Although Zhao Guo died and Zhao Huang hanged himself, there are still Zhao Huang brothers who survived. They were wanted by Da Qin and held a grudge against Da Qin. In addition, the old people of Zhao State have a very low sense of belonging to Qin State.

"Damn the old people of Zhao State! I have already reduced the tax, but I am not satisfied! What about Xia State? Xia State has occupied fourteen counties of Zhao State. Are the old people of Zhao State there also like this?" Qin Huang asked.

Li Si said truthfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Emperor Xia appointed Zhang Liang as Jiedushi. Under his governance, the old people of Zhao State in the fourteen prefectures have been integrated into Xia State... the old people of Zhao State began to be proud of Xia Min, and they no longer recognize it. The country of Zhao is gone. Therefore, the rebels of the country of Zhao have given up their plan to revolt and rebuild the country of Zhao in Daxia."

"Why? Are the officials sent by me stupid?" Qin Huang said angrily.

Today, because of Xia Guo, Qin Huang has been angry.

Li Sidao: "One is that Zhang Liang does have means, and the other is that he has something to do with the prince of Xia. The prince of Xia has the blood of Emperor Zhao, and to a certain extent, he has won over the old people of Zhao."

Qin Huang said angrily: "Then send the Mo organization to assassinate that Zhang Liang for the widow, and also assassinate the prince of Xia!"

"I understand." Li Si responded.

Having said that, the plan to attack the Xia Kingdom was temporarily put on hold.

In a year and a half, the situation in the six kingdoms of China was turbulent.

How is the situation in Daxia?

What did Prince Xiao Rui do in this year and a half?
