Da Qin, Xianyang Palace.
Having just set himself the small goal of establishing a unified Huaxia Dynasty, Ying Zheng heard the voices of Meng Tian and Wang Ben requesting an audience outside the hall.
Without the need for a servant to announce them, he simply shouted "Enter" to the outside.
Having consumed two Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pills and successfully reached the Innate Martial Master realm by forging their internal organs, Meng Tian and Wang Ben were naturally not surprised by His Majesty's ability to sense their arrival.
Hearing Ying Zheng's voice, the two walked into the hall together.
"This minister Meng Tian (Wang Ben) pays his respects to Your Majesty."
"Rise," Ying Zheng ordered them to get up, raising his head and asking, "Have you chosen the 10,000 elite soldiers?"
The two exchanged glances, and Meng Tian spoke, "Your Majesty, the 10,000 elite soldiers have been selected and are ready at your command."
"Hmm," Ying Zheng responded, "Prepare the carriage, the Barracks."
The eunuch received the order and relayed it to the outside: "By order of His Majesty, prepare the carriage for the Barracks."
Outside the hall, palace servants and guards quickly prepared the carriage for the journey.
While they waited, Ying Zheng sent a message in the group chat:
"Unified carriage tracks, unified script, unified weights and measures, establishing the first unified dynasty in Huaxia history.
"Are these considered my achievements?
"Thank you to Group Leader for acknowledging them. I will continue to strive and aim to build a truly unified Huaxia Dynasty as soon as possible.
"I'll go to the Barracks soon and start forging the army of body tempering warriors."
Li Yi: "Barracks? 10,000 elite warriors selected?"
Ying Zheng: "The Xianyang Barracks are already the elite of the million-strong Qin army.
"To select 10,000 elite soldiers, we only need to choose the best from the Xianyang Barracks, no need to draft from outside Xianyang.
"One night is enough for Meng Tian and Wang Ben to select 10,000 elite soldiers."
Li Shimin: "The elite of the elite from among the million-strong Qin army.
"I would really like to see what kind of splendor the Qin elite, who destroyed six nations and unified Huaxia over 800 years ago, would possess."
Li Qingzhao: "The elite of Da Qin, who destroyed six nations and unified Huaxia a thousand years ago, and kept the surrounding barbarians at bay.
"If my Song Dynasty had these elite soldiers, even if there were only 30,000 or 50,000 of them, we wouldn't have suffered the shame of Jingkang, where two emperors were captured by barbarians, would we?"
Li Yi: "The Song Dynasty wasn't without capable generals or a fighting army.
"What the Song Dynasty lacked were civil servants and emperors who didn't hold the army back.
"In the first year of Jingkang, if Song Huizong and Song Qinzong hadn't been hesitant and vacillating, going to war but not fighting, retreating but not retreating, constantly pulling back and forth and issuing chaotic orders, holding the army back.
"Even if they had tied a dog to the throne, the Jin forces wouldn't have been able to break through Bianjing and capture the emperors.
"However, they are after all, the elite soldiers who swept through the six nations.
"If we really could have 30,000 or 50,000 of the Da Qin elite to face the Jin forces.
"Even if they put the dog back on the throne, replacing it with Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, they would probably still be able to defend the Song Dynasty from being trampled by the barbarians."
Huang Rong: "So, regardless of what you say, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were essentially no better than a dog?"
Lin Fengjiao: "We were talking about the Da Qin elite, why are you talking about emperors and dogs?"
Just as the group was discussing the issue of emperors and dogs, Ying Zheng's travel procession was ready.
He got up, led Meng Tian and Wang Ben out of the hall, and casually started a live stream.
【Ding! Ying Zheng has started a live stream.】
【Li Shimin has entered Ying Zheng's live stream.】
【Li Qingzhao has entered Ying Zheng's live stream.】
【Li Yi has entered Ying Zheng's live stream.】
【.....】
The sudden live stream caught everyone in the group by surprise. They immediately clicked into Ying Zheng's live stream.
This is the First Emperor who destroyed six nations and unified Huaxia.
No matter how many criticisms he received in later generations, no matter how people cursed his cruelty and ruthlessness.
It cannot change the fact that he laid the foundation for the unified Huaxia, and inaugurated the emperor system that lasted for over two thousand years in Huaxia.
As a Huaxia person, who could refuse to see the First Emperor with their own eyes, to see the Da Qin Empire he established with their own eyes?
Anyway, everyone in the group.......even Yukinoshita Yukino, who wasn't a Huaxia person, couldn't resist.
Huang Rong: "Wow! The First Emperor is live streaming!"
Li Qingzhao: "Is this Xianyang Palace? It doesn't seem as luxurious as the Song Dynasty imperial palace, but its majesty and defense are far beyond anything the Song imperial palace could achieve."
Li Shimin: "Without seeing the Qin army camp, just these palace guards make me feel: worthy of being the elite who swept through the six nations."
Lin Fengjiao: "This killing intent, this murderous aura, if they could form an army, in my world, it should be enough to frighten even ghosts and gods.
"I really don't understand how, with such Da Qin elite in hand, and millions of troops at his disposal.
"How did Ziying manage to cause the Da Qin to fall after just two generations?"
Ying Zheng: "The Da Qin has a million strong army.
"But 300,000 of them are stationed at the Great Wall in the north, 500,000 are stationed in Lingnan and ready to deploy at any time.
"The remaining 200,000 troops are distributed among the counties of the Qin territory, with only 30,000 stationed in Xianyang City.
"The 800,000 troops guarding the borders cannot be withdrawn without my orders.
"If there are frequent wars within the country that tie up the troops stationed in various places.
"Relying only on the 30,000 elite soldiers in the Xianyang Barracks, if they encounter an enemy force of more than 100,000 attacking the city, there is still a possibility of Xianyang being captured.
"However, now that I have entered the Bone Marrow Grandmaster Realm, I outlived Ziying and am still alive and well.
"So, there's no point in exploring those futures that won't happen anymore.
"Don't you all want to see the Da Qin elite?
"Each of these 30,000 troops in my Xianyang Barracks is an elite selected from the million-strong Qin army.
"The 10,000 elite soldiers that Meng Tian and Wang Ben have selected from these 30,000, can be considered the elite of the elite.
"Once we get to the barracks, I'll adjust the camera so you can all have a good look."
Everyone chatted in the group while admiring the sights of Xianyang City in Ying Zheng's live stream.
About half an hour later, the Qin Emperor's procession arrived at the Xianyang Barracks outside Xianyang City.
Guards had sent word ahead of time.
When Ying Zheng and his entourage arrived, the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Xianyang Barracks were already lined up in formations on the training ground, wearing armor and helmets.
As soon as the Emperor's procession arrived, the 30,000 troops all knelt on one knee and bowed, shouting in unison: "Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng stepped out of the carriage and looked down at the seemingly endless 30,000 troops on the training ground.
The True Dragon Body Tempering Technique was running, the power that had been integrated into his bone marrow, combined with the powerful blood energy after forging his body and the innate energy born after becoming an Innate Martial Master.
A phantom golden dragon made of spirit, energy, and martial artist blood energy materialized out of thin air beneath his feet.
The golden dragon lifted Ying Zheng into the air.
Ying Zheng, riding the golden dragon, flew over the 30,000 troops and landed on the general's platform in the center of the training ground.
"Rise."
Without raising his voice deliberately, Ying Zheng's indifferent and majestic voice reached every corner of the training ground.
The 30,000 soldiers, stunned by the sight of their emperor riding a dragon, came to their senses.
Not a single one of these battle-hardened soldiers was thrown into disarray by this spectacle.
An army of 30,000 men, upon hearing Ying Zheng's "Rise," stood up with a "whoosh" without any signs of disorder.
Looking at the majestic figure on the platform, the figure they were willing to give their lives for, they shouted in unison:
"Wind! Wind! Great Wind!"
