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
