Chapter 52: The Great Qin Empire II

At that time

The southern part of the land of China

Especially in the area of today's Guangdong and Guangxi

Mainly the Yue people

They formed tribal confederations, large and small

These Yue tribes

Not only will there be fights and killings internally

I often go to the Central Plains to rob a fortune and rob a woman

Previously, there were constant wars between the Seven Kingdoms

Nobody cares about those little harassments

Now the state of Qin is unified

Whether it's for the sake of face

Or for the sake of expanding the territory

218 BC

Qin Shi Huang ordered the generals Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo

He led an army of 500,000 to the south

It is necessary to pacify South Vietnam

The Qin army is menacing this time

They were divided into five lines

From Guangxi, Hunan and Jiangxi

Attack on South Vietnam (later collectively known as Lingnan)

The start of the fight was relatively smooth

After all, the Qin army had just been trained from the Central Plains battlefield

The Yue people are still a ragtag army in the tribal era

Soon the Qin army occupied part of Lingnan

Then it began to go deep into the hinterland of Lingnan

After arriving at the base camp of the Yue people

Qin Jun discovered

It's hard to do it yourself

Because the mountainous waterways in the Lingnan region are more complicated

Qin Jun will be at a loss for a while

But eight generations of people's ancestors have lived there

Trekking through mountains and rivers is a familiar road

The mountains and rivers there

It all became a weapon for the Yue people to attack the Qin army

That's it

Qin Jun couldn't bear it

No trace of the enemy was found during the day

At night, people might come out of there

Catch yourself off guard

The worst thing is

The Yue people take advantage of the geographical advantage

also shortened the grain route of the Qin army

Aren't you saying it's unlucky?

Don't say anything about being beaten and angry

And now I have to go hungry

In the end, the problem became even more serious

Tu Sui, one of the commanders of the Qin army, was killed

The Qin army had no choice but to retreat to safety

The two sides entered the phase of confrontation

In order to solve the problem of grain and grass transportation

217 BC

Qin Shi Huang ordered the imperial Shi Lu to be supervised

In the territory of what is now Xing'an County, Guangxi

Dig a spiritual canal to communicate Xiangshui and Lishui

This spiritual ditch was dug through

The water system of the mainland and the water system of Guangxi are connected

The Qin army's food and military supplies could be transported to Lingnan in a steady stream

The logistical problem was solved

214 BC

Qin Shi Huang ordered Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo to attack the Lingnan Yue again

I've suffered a loss once before

You can't be fooled again this time

Qin Jun summed up the lessons of the last time

Be well prepared

They led a large number of immigrants to Lingnan with the army

Every time you occupy a place

A group of immigrants were stationed there

In this way, the Qin army could have a rear base area

It is also possible to replenish the army in a timely manner

With such a huge advantage of the Qin army

The Yue people couldn't bear it

They were repeatedly defeated

At last

Lingnan was finally taken by the Qin army

In order to consolidate the fruits of hard-won victory

Qin Shi Huang decided

All the soldiers went south

Stay in Lingnan

Then

They also migrated in large numbers from the Central Plains to the Lingnan region

These soldiers and immigrants

Most of them intermarried with the local Yue people

Just a few generations later

Lingnan is truly part of China's territory

The south side is done

Qin Shi Huang could not be idle

He began the war against the north again

Enemies of the North

It's the Huns

Warring States period

The Xiongnu, who lived in the north, had entered a slave society

They often had friction with the northern vassal states of Qin, Zhaoyan, and Yan

At that time, the countries of the Central Plains were fighting

did not regard the relationship with the Xiongnu as the main contradiction

Now the Seven Kingdoms have become one

The Xiongnu faced a unified and powerful Qin state

South Vietnam engaged in friction only occasionally

Qin Shi Huang destroyed it

For causing a lot of trouble to themselves, the Huns

Hit it

It is very necessary

214 BC

In order to completely remove the threat of the Xiongnu to the Qin state

Qin Shi Huang sent the general Meng Tian

led an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu in the north

I didn't expect the Hun brothers to really be unbeaten

One dozen and ran away

In order to preserve the results of the war

Qin Shi Huang adopted the same strategy for Lingnan

A large number of immigrants from the Central Plains went to the original border

Let them reclaim the wasteland there

Settle down and live

The army of the Qin State had just withdrawn

The crops of the new immigrants have not yet been harvested

The Huns killed another horse pistol

They came again to grab the crops

The new owner of the land is in trouble

Qin Shi Huang had no choice but to send Meng Tian to lead his army to the north again

This time, the Qin army fought more ruthlessly

Even if the Huns ran far

Throw a few rocks after you, too

The Huns thought

You can play a game with the Qin people, where the enemy advances, I retreat, and the enemy retreats

I didn't expect the Qin people to be annoyed

Killed himself

They had no choice but to leave the place where they had collected protection money for many years

Migrated north

Because the last time I was beaten back by the Huns

This time, Qin Shi Huang added a heart

Not only did he chase after him

He also had to build another barrier for the Huns

That's the Great Wall

Speaking of the Great Wall

That's a long history

Warring States period

The princes scuffle

To better guard against neighbors

The vassal states have built the Great Wall to some extent

The more special ones are the three countries of Qin, Zhaoyan and Yan

Because they don't just have to watch out for the Central Plains buddies

Also beware of the Hun brothers in the north

So these three countries

In the north, the Great Wall was built against the Xiongnu

Of course

Now the ownership of these three parts of the Great Wall belongs to the Qin State

Qin Shi Huang ordered

Mobilization of national labour

Connect me with these three sections of the Great Wall in the north

Build the Great Wall

To a certain extent, the road to the south of the Xiongnu was cut off

This is a legacy left by Qin Shi Huang to thousands of generations

can be in the process of building the Great Wall

Countless people were recruited to work as migrant workers

The bones were buried at the foot of the city walls

Right and wrong

Leave it to future generations to comment

The Qin army drove away the Xiongnu

It's a great joy

213 BC

Qin Shi Huang held a feast in Xianyang Palace

Celebrate this victory

All civil and military officials attended the banquet

Dozens of PhDs with a reputation for academic thought were also invited to participate

Three rounds of drinking

The dish has five flavors

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Qin Shi Huang

The emperor wisely used his army

Drove away the Huns

Congratulations

Look at everyone so slapping on the back

These doctors couldn't sit still

Look at me, everyone

I'll look at you

Finally, Zhou Qingchen, the leader of the doctors, stood up

To say that this doctor is level

I saw Zhou Qingchen raising his wine glass with both hands

Lang Sheng said

I see

This Qin country is only a thousand miles of land

It's all thanks to His Majesty's wisdom

Wiped out the Six Nations

Unified the world

Now he has subdued the Nanban

Drove away Beiyi

Everything under the heavens, where the sun and the moon shine

All under the rule of His Majesty

That's all

Your Majesty can be called the hero of the ages

But Your Majesty has gone one step further

The sub-feudal system was abolished

The county system was established

War was avoided for generations to come

so that we can live in peace for generations to come

Your Majesty's eloquence

Your Majesty's mercy and love

Even if it is the three emperors and five emperors of ancient times

It's out of reach

Let's talk about it

Zhou Qingchen bent down his old waist

Raise your glass above your head

Tribute to Qin Shi Huang

Oops

This touting

It's earth-shattering

It's shocking

Listen to Qin Shi Huang

Every sweat pore on the body is full of comfort

He couldn't help but nod his head again and again

Praise Zhou Qingchen

You can say that again

Well said

Zhou Qingchen, who kept pace with the times, was praised

But some stubborn and old-fashioned doctors are not happy

began to listen to Zhou Qingchen tout the exploits of Qin Shi Huang

They still feel

This is a statement on behalf of our PhD community

Can be later

The more I listened, the more wrong it became

Because Zhou Qingchen was involved in abolishing the feudal system and establishing the county system

To know

There are quite a few PhDs

Those who are familiar with ancient books are familiar with them

They still feel

The sub-feudal system handed down by the ancestors is the best

Today, I listened to Zhou Qingchen in order to flatter

He openly opposed his ancestors

A doctor named Chun Yuyue couldn't help it

He quickly stood up

Took a few steps forward

Said hurriedly

Your Majesty

I heard that the Shang and Zhou dynasties lasted for thousands of years

They are the princes of the feudal princes

Guarding the central court like the stars and the moon

It's a good system

Now Your Majesty has won the world

but your children have no real power

in case of

Your Majesty's forgiveness

I mean just in case

One day, there was a person who was the Tian family of Qi

He wanted to rebel and usurp the throne

And who can save the situation?

now

Zhou Qingchen not only did not point out His Majesty's faults

It's just to pick up what you like to hear

It's pushing you into a fire pit

I don't think he's a loyal servant

Your Majesty

You should still reconsider the matter of separation

Qin Shi Huang is so angry

Just comfortable sweat pores

It's all closed now

He waved his hand

It just so happens that people are coming here today

Come on, come on

You guys discuss it for me

Let's see if it's time to do a sub-sealing system

Or engage in the county system

Say yes for everyone to discuss

But everyone knows it in their hearts

Qin Shi Huang supported the county system

If he hadn't been stimulated by Zhou Qingchen just now

It is estimated that Chun Yuyue did not have the courage to jump out and object

I don't see any reaction from everyone

Prime Minister Li Si stood up

Some people

Always talk about ancient times

Is it the same in ancient times as it is now?

It's not the same situation

I want to apply the same rules

That's what really doesn't work
