Chapter 64: New policies are being introduced now. Didn’t your sons tell you?
Wang Ben replied angrily: "Although I don't know the exact identity, it must be those old nobles from Qi, Han, and Chu. They are the most fierce in their rebellion against Qin! I will lead the cavalry to charge over and I will definitely catch the thief!"

Ying Heng scolded, "Humph, how many soldiers and weapons are there on the other side, and how many masters are there? You don't know how many of them there are, and you're planning to take action?"

"You don't even have intelligence before the war, and you dare to call yourself a victorious general? I think you are blinded by hatred!"

Faced with Ying Heng's reproach, Wang Ben stiffened his neck and looked dissatisfied.

"They killed so many of my soldiers, how can I settle this account?"

"If I had known where they were, I would have killed them long ago. This revenge cannot wait even a minute!"

Ying Heng understood Wang Ben’s feelings. After all, he loved his soldiers like his sons.

Now that they have suffered heavy losses, with dozens of soldiers killed and hundreds injured, it is naturally difficult for them to calm down.

"You don't have to be too anxious. In half a month, I will give you 5,000 sets of saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes."

"Take a hundred sets back today and select five thousand experienced cavalrymen to take turns familiarizing themselves with the equipment."

"My people are investigating the opponents that night. The leader is suspected to be Xiang Yu from the Xiang clan of the old Chu state. The information about the others is still unclear."

Ying Heng said calmly, "After verification, I will make you settle this account personally."

When Wang Ben heard about Ying Heng's meticulous deployment, he secretly admired him.

Ever since he learned that there was a team of highly skilled martial artists hidden under the command of the Thirteenth Young Master, he had long been convinced that the Thirteenth Young Master could calmly deal with things that he was unable to do.

Since Ying Heng had already made up his mind, Wang Ben did not ask any more questions. Since he was following his master, it was natural for him to obey his orders.

"Sir, do you have any other instructions?" Wang Ben asked respectfully.

Ying Heng solemnly ordered: "From now on, soldiers are not allowed to deduct their three meals a day, and their diet is not limited to staple food, oil and salt."

"The intensity of daily training has been increased to four hours. Soldiers will be taught martial arts and an assessment and elimination system will be added."

His eyes were sparkling.

"Select five thousand elite cavalrymen from among them, and select one thousand young warriors with profound cultivation. I will personally train them to become heavy cavalrymen. This matter must be kept absolutely confidential!"

“In addition, logistical matters such as salt making, farming, and horse harness repair all require dedicated personnel and schools.”

"Half a month later, in the court, everything will be under my control."

Following the sonorous and powerful response, Wang Ben half-knelt down and said, "I, General Wang Ben, obey your orders!"

Only after Wang Ben left did Ying Heng have time to check the system prompts.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully conquering Wang Ben and gaining the loyalty of the generals in the court. The host is rewarded with a monocular telescope and a method of making glass, and is also presented with the famous general of all time: Huo Qubing. ]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the second phase of the main mission - Control Daqin, and the reward is three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders, and the Dragon Riders leader Xu Longyue. ]

[Ding, the third phase of the main task is now released - Peace in the World. ]

[Task Description: The host has initially mastered the power of the Qin Empire. The next goal is to build the Qin Empire into a prosperous empire. During this period, the host must quell internal troubles, ascend the throne and become emperor, eliminate external threats, and initially build a prosperous Qin Empire.]

[Mission rewards: elixir of immortality; secret book of "Ascension to Immortality"; large fleet. ]

Huo Qubing!
Big Snow Dragon Rider!

Ying Heng's heart was filled with excitement, and the rows of majestic and solemn Snow Dragon Cavalry in the system interface seemed to appear before his eyes.

At this moment, he felt that this world was just like this!
As for the subsequent task of pacifying the world, he was full of enthusiasm: "Okay, then let me pacify it for you to see!"

"Ascend the throne, go to war, pacify the world, practice immortality, and pursue immortality!"

Half a month later, in the imperial court, Wang Ben, who had not worn armor for a long time, stood in the hall fully armed.

As soon as the government began, he knelt resolutely and said, "Sir, I, Wang Ben, volunteer to go to the battle!"

Instantly, the entire hall fell into silence, and only the echo of Wang Ben's firm request could be heard echoing in the hall.

The atmosphere in the court was tense.

Wang Ben suddenly put on his armor and knelt down, asking to go to war, which shocked all the officials. The Wang family had never been involved in power struggles among the princes, so Wang Ben's unusual behavior at this moment undoubtedly caused a stir.

Could it be that the Thirteenth Young Master has quietly taken control of the military power, and may even have the all-important tiger talisman in his hands?
However, it stands to reason that after your majesty's death, the tiger talisman should be handed over to the prince who succeeds you to the throne.

Now a month has passed, and the secret guards of the Black Ice Platform have never appeared. How can the Thirteenth Young Master obtain the tiger talisman easily?
But if not, how could he make the famous general Wang Ben loyal to him?

At this time, 90% of the civil and military officials had already leaned towards Ying Heng. Although most people were surprised, they were secretly delighted, thinking that the Thirteenth Prince had unified the civil and military officials, and perhaps he was not far from the supreme position.

Only a few royal relatives who were close to Fusu or worried about their own interests being damaged had doubts.

Just as everyone's eyes were focused on Ying Heng, he gave the order in a deep voice.

"Okay, I will assign you 5,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to patrol the east and south. Anyone who encounters anti-Qin traitors will be killed without mercy!"

Upon hearing the order, Wang Ben stood up and accepted it excitedly.

"Wait a minute!"

Just when everyone had not yet recovered from this sudden change, an old and majestic voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound, and they saw an old man in black clothes walking out slowly.

This man is an elder of the royal family, and is even the great-uncle of Ying Zheng. Everyone present is aware of his importance.

"My thirteenth grandson, we elders have not yet dealt with you for your previous mischievous behavior."

The old man spoke in a serious tone.

"But you dared to mobilize the troops without authorization today. This is absolutely unacceptable!"

"My Ying family has already concluded that the only one who can mobilize troops is the emperor."

"In the absence of the emperor, the tiger talisman shall prevail."

The old man looked at Ying Heng with a sharp gaze and questioned him.

"Thirteenth grandson, do you have a tiger talisman in your hand?"

This royal ancestor is a heavyweight figure who was brought forward after the last new policy was implemented and opposition voices were defeated.

The new policy has a huge impact on the interests of the old royal family, so they will naturally not sit idly by and watch Ying Heng consolidate his position step by step.

Now that he discovered that Ying Heng had made a mistake, he resolutely and openly stopped him in the court.

I originally thought that after my speech, I would get the support of some powerful officials.

However, they did not expect that no one in the court, civil or military, would raise any objection to Ying Heng's rebellious behavior. This made the old royal family quite embarrassed and they were in a dilemma for a while.

Seeing this, Ying Heng sneered and said, "Li Si, read to him the provisions of my Great Qin's new policy on military power."

"The minister obeys the order."

Li Si stepped forward, took out a scroll, opened it and read: "The military power of the Great Qin is commanded by the emperor himself. When the emperor is away, the prince who supervises the state exercises it on his behalf."

Li Si closed the letter, returned to his original position, and waited for the situation to develop.

Ying Heng glanced sideways, and no one in the court spoke another word. The atmosphere became subtle and tense.

"have you understood?"

Ying Heng spoke in a steady tone and looked sharply at the old royal family member in front of him. It was obvious that the other party knew nothing about the new policy and was still clinging to the old customs and practices of the past.

He continued, "The rules you mentioned have long gone with the wind. Now my Great Qin is implementing a new policy. Didn't your sons mention it to you?"

The old royal family member's face turned pale at Ying Heng's words, and he pointed at him with trembling fingers, his anger evident in his words.

"you……"

He was furious, but couldn't argue.
