Mid-September.
It was nighttime that day.
The night was deep, and the palace lanterns swayed, illuminating the magnificent golden palace.
On the bed, Su Ruyan was lightly covered with a brocade quilt. Her face was pale, but her beautiful eyes were full of determination. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she was biting her lip tightly as she struggled...
The hall was surrounded by a large number of female doctors.
Yuan'er, Ping'er, Juan'er, Lian'er, and others also served her from the side, becoming extremely anxious as she shouted.
Outside the door, Qin Chuan was also pacing anxiously back and forth.
After all, with today's medical standards, childbirth is still an extremely dangerous thing for women, and things can easily go wrong.
The female doctors were all found by Xiao Li.
Her belly was quite big, and it was clear that she was still very considerate of her sister Ruyan.
With a clear cry of a newborn baby, the entire palace seemed to be swept by a spring breeze, suddenly bursting with life.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has given birth to a little princess!"
The female doctor came out and knelt down to report.
Qin Chuan clapped his hands suddenly and laughed, "Luckily, we had a little princess!"
She thought to herself, "If I give birth to a prince, wouldn't he be named Qin Hui?"
Hello, little princess!
Let's call her Qin Hui!
Inside the palace, the little princess's cries were loud. Su Ruyan looked at "Hui'er" in her swaddling clothes with exhaustion but love, her beautiful eyes shining with maternal radiance.
At this moment, Xiao Li rushed over upon hearing the commotion. With her pregnant belly protruding, she gently stepped into the inner room. Seeing that both mother and child were safe and sound, her anxiety subsided.
She gently stroked Su Ruyan's hand: "Sister Ruyan, you've worked so hard..."
Seeing this, Qin Chuan was extremely satisfied.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao also came over, entered the bedchamber, stood by the bed, looked at Su Ruyan, and smiled, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine has given His Majesty a princess; you must have worked very hard."
Su Ruyan's lips were pale and her body was weak, but she managed a weak smile.
"Let her rest."
Qin Chuan led Xiao Li, Jiang Yao, and the others out, leaving only two female doctors and Yuan'er inside to take care of them...
...
October has arrived.
The Loulan prince personally came to the capital, presented the letter of state and the imperial seal, and voluntarily disarmed all of Loulan, placing the entire Loulan territory under the rule of Daqian.
Qin Chuan enfeoffed the prince of Loulan as the Marquis of Anding, with a fief of one thousand households.
Princess Loulan gradually succumbed to his power, becoming submissive and even taking the initiative.
Now, except for the Northern Xiongnu separated by the desert, the entire Daqian region has finally achieved unification.
At the suggestion of his ministers, Qin Chuan decided to hold a grand military review at the hunting grounds in the western suburbs in order to subdue the barbarians, especially the island nations of the Eastern Yi, and particularly Japan.
Dozens of warships have been built so far, but the number is not enough to launch an expedition.
Qin Chuan was quite surprised by the creation of the muskets; he actually managed to produce thousands of flintlock muskets.
West Suburbs Hunting Grounds.
The area here is even larger than the capital city, so we can set up our forces with confidence.
Qin Chuan sat in a convertible, driven by the eunuch Zhang Cheng. He stood upright, his posture imposing.
The car was driving extremely slowly, and behind it, like stars surrounding the moon, were four cars on each side.
Qin Chuan's car was extremely conspicuous.
More than 60,000 people from the left and right battalions and the front and rear battalions participated in the military parade.
Looking at this magnificent scene, the Loulan prince exclaimed, "Luckily, I knew what was good for me. With this kind of momentum, Loulan isn't even qualified to be cannon fodder..."
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
The soldiers brandished their weapons and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"
Qin Chuan, dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a nine-tassel crown, looked majestic and awe-inspiring.
He thought of Qin Shi Huang, but right now, the territory he had conquered was far larger than the Qin Dynasty conquered by Qin Shi Huang.
Moreover, thanks to the system's assistance, the people under Da Gan's rule became more prosperous and comfortable, although some bad things also happened.
For example, even before slavery was abolished, some slave revolts had already occurred in Jiangnan.
For example, land consolidation was rampant, the gentry became increasingly wealthy, while the common people were barely able to make ends meet.
However, he is confident and capable of solving these problems.
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Hearing the wave after wave of cheers, Qin Chuan's eyes reddened. He took out the megaphone, and after a long pause, finally shouted out the words—
"Long live the people of Dagan!"
The soldiers were taken aback when they heard the emperor shout such a thing.
Then, they immediately shouted "Long live!" even more frantically and energetically!
Because they knew in their hearts that they had encountered a wise and benevolent ruler!
Gouwazi, who had been promoted to battalion commander, was moved to tears. Holding his sword, baring his teeth, he roared with all his might, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Many of the soldiers who had followed him in the campaign against the Southern Xiongnu roared just like him.
Now, with the powerful artifacts at their disposal, they can completely crush any army when they go to war, with a mortality rate of less than one in a hundred.
"Don't laugh at me, drunk and lying on the battlefield; how many have returned from ancient battles?" Yet, following this mysterious, almost godlike new emperor, the death rate in battle is surprisingly low...
This is a good time to join the army.
Meanwhile, outside the army's perimeter, the people of the capital also gathered to watch.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are all ripe. Some people are holding raw sweet potatoes and eating them, while others are eating dried sweet potatoes or corn on the cob, all while gazing longingly at the ripe fruit.
Xiao Li, Su Ruyan, Jiang Yao, Su Rushi, Jiang Ran, Ping'er, Yuan'er, Wan Chun, and the former Xiongnu queen now renamed Xue Rou, among other concubines, were all under guard, their eyes filled with joy as they gazed at this grand scene.
