Chapter 67 Xiang Yu's Bad Premonition

Ying Zheng was surprised because he did not expect that the metal smelting technology of Shahe Village was so strong that even large ironware could be produced in large quantities and quickly.

Originally, he thought that Shahe Village was only capable of mass-producing small ironware, such as those of swords and farm tools.

However, those large iron tools cannot be produced in large quantities quickly.

But Shahe Village still did it.

When Wang Jian saw the rails, he did not think about building large iron tools, but wondered how great it would be if he could use these rails to make weapons.

The rails that were transported here alone are enough to make weapons to arm hundreds of people.

The iron-making speed in Shahe Village is too fast.

Ying Zheng asked eagerly, "I wonder what a train that can run on these tracks will look like?"

"With Zhao Yi's ability, I believe the day when Your Majesty sees the train won't be too far away."

"To be honest, I have recently been considering whether the proposal of Li Si to move the capital city is feasible."

Wang Jian was very surprised to hear the news.

Your Majesty is actually thinking of moving the capital.

This shows that Zhao Yi's importance in His Majesty's heart has increased.

Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have thought of moving the capital.

Your Majesty must want to move the capital because of Zhao Yi.

But it's normal.

Your Majesty doesn't dare to leave Zhao Yi for too long.

Because Zhao Yi is uncontrollable, and he also has the ability to subvert the Qin Dynasty.

God knows what will happen if I leave Zhao Yi for a long time.

Your Majesty will only feel at ease when you can see Zhao Yi every day like this.

"Your Majesty, do you want to move the capital to Sand Dune Town?"

"No, Shaqiu Town is too small. Besides, the matter of moving the capital depends on Zhao Yi. We need to find a chance to test him and ask him where he wants to build the capital after the rebellion succeeds."

Ying Zheng said that moving the capital was just a plan for now, and he would make a decision after consulting Zhao Yi.

Otherwise, when Zhao Yi said that he would establish the capital in Xianyang after the rebellion was successful, wouldn’t that be a move in vain?
In addition, once the Daqin railway network is built, it will be convenient to move the capital.

Wang Jian didn't know what to say for a moment.

Your Majesty even considered where Zhao Yi wanted to build his capital after his rebellion when deciding on the location of the relocation.

Only Zhao Yi can make Your Majesty do this.

After all, Zhao Yi alone can increase the national strength of the Qin Dynasty several times, which is something that the Qin Dynasty cannot do even if it develops for hundreds of years.

It is true that Zhao Yi could make all kinds of technologies of the Qin Dynasty leap forward by a thousand years, or even more.

That is why Your Majesty can tolerate Zhao Yi's desire to rebel.

……

Inside Xiang Mansion in Yewu County, Kuaiji County.

Xiang Yu was exercising while holding a stone ball, his muscles tense.

If Zhao Yi saw this, he would think that it would be easy for Xiang Yu to win the championship in a bodybuilding competition in modern times.

Suddenly Xiang Liang walked in, his face filled with joy.

When Xiang Yu saw this, he raised the stone ball and asked, "Uncle, what good news can make you so happy?"

Xiang Liang smiled and said, "Don't practice anymore. Hurry up and pack up and get ready to go. This is our chance to make merit and get promoted."

Xiang Yu put down the stone ball and picked up the linen cloth beside him to wipe the sweat off his body.

He asked doubtfully: "Opportunity to make merit? Where does the opportunity to make merit come from in Kuaiji County? Except for those bandits who have surrendered to us, haven't we wiped out all the rest in the county?" The Xiang family has been operating in Kuaiji County for many years and is quite powerful in the county.

Therefore, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu kept eliminating bandits who were not their own people in Kuaiji County under the pretext of clearing out bandits.

As a result, they were able to accumulate military merits and continue to be promoted, eventually reaching their current position of captain.

The county magistrate Yin Tong actually knew a little about what Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu had done, but he still indulged Xiang Liang.

Because he wanted to rely on the Xiang clan, a local powerful family, to help him manage the local area.

And Yin Tong also has his own little plan.

He also saw the current problems in Daqin.

If a suitable successor is not found before Your Majesty dies, the rule of the Qin Dynasty will not last long.

The chaos of the Warring States period will surely come again.

At that time, he also wanted to borrow the power of the Xiang family and the military forces he controlled to compete for the world.

Xiang Liang smiled and replied, "Yin Tong received an order from Ying Zheng. He was asked to send troops to Donghai County to help suppress the local rebels."

"So we need to go to Donghai County to suppress the bandits?"

"Of course. Who else can Yin Tong send? By then, we can have military merit and train soldiers, killing two birds with one stone. Who knows, after we come back from suppressing the bandits this time, I, your uncle, may let you be the captain." Xiang Liang said, stroking his beard.

"Then I, your nephew, would like to thank you. Congratulations on your promotion again." Xiang Yu clasped his fists and said with a smile.

"Ahaha, let's not talk so much. Hurry up and pack up and set off. Ying Zheng is in a hurry, saying that the equipment will be distributed locally when we arrive in Donghai County." Xiang Liang urged.

For some reason, Xiang Yu had a bad feeling when he heard the news.

"Uncle, can we really go there without any equipment? What if this is a trap set by Ying Zheng?" Xiang Yu said worriedly.

Xiang Liang waved his hand and said, "Not really. I was beside Yin Tong when he was reading this urgent order from Ying Zheng. It's impossible that Ying Zheng could deceive even his own governor."

"And our confidentiality work is very good. According to our spy reports, no strange people have come to Yewu County recently. The court of Daqin has not discovered what we are doing at all."

"You must be too suspicious." Xiang Liang said confidently.

"But..." Xiang Yu was about to continue.

"Okay, hurry up and pack up so as not to delay your trip. Don't be suspicious. With our intelligence network, if the Qin Dynasty mobilizes a large army, won't we be able to detect it?" Xiang Liang asked back.

Xiang Liang's words finally convinced Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu then went into the house to pack his luggage and prepare to set off.

However, Xiang Yu felt his left eyelid twitching, as if something was about to happen.

On the other side, a team of 100 people led by Zhang Han was almost arriving at Donghai County.

Despite the high-intensity marching during the past two days.

But Zhang Han still took time out to let these 100 shadow guards conduct pistol training.

After two days of training, the team members have become proficient in throwing grenades and using pistols.

After all, it is not difficult to use pistols and grenades, and they all have a solid foundation in archery.

Now Zhang Han felt that his team of a hundred men could easily destroy three to four thousand enemies on the battlefield.

In fact, if there is enough ammunition, more can be eliminated.

Now after the training, there are more than 3,000 bullets left. Apart from two grenades used to demonstrate their power and explosion time, there are still 298 grenades left.

However, after seeing the power of revolvers and grenades, Zhang Han felt that these were enough to eliminate the rebels of the Xiang clan.

Zhang Han was very glad that His Majesty met Zhao Yi, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Zhang Han was well aware that the Qin army's current equipment was no match for the grenade revolver.
