Just when the vigorous scenery in the Guanzhong of Daqin was rapidly spreading to the counties of Hanzhong, Bashu and Hedong outside the Guanwai, the southernmost part of the distant Daqin, among the several counties of Nanyue, was also in full swing.

It's just that one is a scene of production in full swing, and the other is a scene of search, conscription, grain requisition, and husband requisition in full swing.

Nanhai County governs Panyu.

In the twenty-seventh year of the first emperor (219 years ago), the first emperor sent Tu Sui as the main general and Zhao Tuo as the deputy general to lead an army of 500,000 to pacify Lingnan. Qin Shi Huang reappointed Ren Huan as the main general, and together with Zhao Tuo, he led the army to complete the great cause of pacifying Lingnan in the 32nd year of the First Emperor (214 BC) after four years of hard work.

After the first emperor was basically pacified in South Vietnam, he immediately established the three counties of Nanhai, Guilin and Xiangjun. Nanhai County is the old Guangzhou, Shaozhou, Chaozhou, Huizhou, Zhaoqing, Nanxiong Prefectures and Gaozhou Prefecture in Guangdong Province in later generations, the eastern border of the old Pingle Mansion in Guangxi, and the southeast border of Wuzhou Prefecture, and the land under the jurisdiction of the three counties of Nanyue has been incorporated into the territory of Daqin and a large part of the land in Myanmar in later generations.

Of the 500,000 troops who conquered South Vietnam, except for the more than 200,000 old Qin people who moved to Nanyue with their families and mouths, the remaining more than 300,000 were slaves from all over Guanzhong and the elite soldiers of Chu captured after the destruction of Chu.

After pacifying Nanyue, Emperor Shi once again ordered the relocation of nearly 100,000 households of the old Qin people and nearly 300,000 Chu people into Nanyue, so as to dilute the Baiyue barbarians, who had an absolute advantage in the number of several counties in Nanyue.

Migration after migration, each time the old Qin people charged ahead. They took their families with them, far away from their hometown in Guanzhong, into the hot and humid land of South Vietnam. Along the way, tens of thousands of old Qin, old and weak women and children fell on the way to the south.

However, they have always firmly carried out the edict of the First Emperor, going south and then south. Guarding the vast southwestern frontier.

Because the Chu people have long adapted to the humid and hot climate of the south, they feel like a fish in water after entering several counties in Nanyue. All the way south, the casualties were almost negligible.

Since the beginning of the 32nd year of the First Emperor, to the first year of the Second Emperor, it has been five or six years, and the old Qin people who moved south gradually adapted to the humid and hot climate of the south, developed production, built cities, and rested when they came out. Several counties in South Vietnam are undergoing earth-shaking changes every day.

After five or six years of exchanges and integration, the indigenous barbarians of several counties in Nanyue gradually began to accept the rule of Great Qin, and were no longer as exclusive as before.

Time is like flowing water, and time is not forgiving.

Long before he went south to lead the troops, Ren Huan was already in the year of the sixtieth year, and when South Vietnam was pacified, he saw that he had touched the threshold of ancient rarity. The hot and humid climate of South Vietnam has always troubled Ren Huan, the commander of the army who pacified South Vietnam.

Zhao Tuo, but the famous young Junyan, nineteen-year-old Zhao Tuo was given the escort of the sword at the age of 19 with the first emperor to the east. In the twenty-seventh year of the first emperor (219 BC), Zhao Tuo, who was just twenty-two years old, was appointed deputy marshal and led an army of 500,000 to conquer Lingnan with the commander Ren Huan.

When the first emperor was still alive, Ren Huan began to recuperate in the county guard of Panyu City, and rarely participated in the ordinary things of several counties in Nanyue. The military and political power of several counties in South Vietnam was all entrusted to the hands of the young and promising deputy Zhao Tuo.

In the thirty-fourth year of the first emperor (212 B.C.), Zhao Tuo, who had been on the expedition to South Vietnam for seven years and was already twenty-nine, returned to Xianyang to report on his work. The first emperor agreed to his request, and officially appointed Zhao Tuo as the commander of the Nanhai County and the general of the Nanhai County, and entrusted the military and political power of the three counties of Nanyue to Zhao Tuo, who was highly appreciated.

And Ren Huan only retained the post of general and stayed in Panyu to recuperate!

Up to now, Zhao Tuo has been in South Vietnam for ten years!

Zhao Tuo's wife and son are now in Xianyang, and his wife is Hu Hai's twelfth sister, Ying Shu. Ying Shu married the young Junyan, Zhao Tuo, who was deeply trusted by the First Emperor, and the same First Emperor issued an edict to give marriage. The two were married in the twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor (218 BC).

A year after Ying Shu married Zhao Tuo, she gave birth to her eldest son, Zhao Mo, for Zhao Tuo. In the same year, shortly after Zhao Mo was born, Zhao Tuo was ordered to follow the army to the south of Lingnan.

According to the usual practice, the leading generals set out on the expedition, and all the children were not allowed to leave Xianyang. This is not only to ensure that the front-line generals will not defect, but also to allow the front-line generals to be at ease in the war.

After the pacification of South Vietnam, Zhao Tuo returned to Xianyang after seven years, and Zhao Mo was already seven years old at this time.

Zhao Tuo has been on expeditions for many years, and when he returned to Xianyang that time, it was the second time when the First Emperor drove Fusu to the Jiuyuan Army as a supervisor. Zhao Tuo euphemistically proposed to the First Emperor to take Ying Shu's mother and son to the South China Sea, but the First Emperor refused.

Although the First Emperor trusted Zhao Tuo very much, and even Zhao Tuo was able to have everything today that was given by the First Emperor, the First Emperor did not make an exception for Zhao Tuo on this issue, even Ren Huan's family has always been in Xianyang City.

Zhao Tuo returned to Nanyue again after two months of Xianyang Panhuan. Although Emperor Shi did not agree to Zhao Tuo to take away Ying Shu's mother and son, in order to appease Zhao Tuo, he allowed Zhao Tuo to take his younger brother Zhao Guang to the South China Sea.

This year, Zhao Guang was just fifteen years old!

Originally, Zhao Tuo's trip to Xianyang in the 34th year of the First Emperor was the last time Zhao Tuo returned to Guanzhong in his life. In less than three years, with the sudden return of the First Emperor on his eastern tour, the situation in Great Qin took a sharp turn for the worse like a river.

With the succession of the second emperor Hu Hai, Fusu committed suicide, Meng Tian and Meng Yi two brothers died unjustly in prison, Feng Quji, Feng Zheng father and son were forced to commit suicide due to humiliation, and then a generation of power ministers Li Sijiu was sentenced to death, and the death was miserable. In less than three years, the great country that the First Emperor spent his whole life laying down fell apart. With the death of Ziying, the Great Qin Empire fell.

At that time, Ren Huan was already old, and Zhao Tuo had already become the supreme commander of hundreds of thousands of Great Qin soldiers in several counties of South Vietnam. Zhao Tuo never stood still when the huge Empire Building, which had brought him endless glory, was about to fall. With Xiang Yu's fire in Xianyang, the Great Qin Empire collapsed. And Ying Shu's mother and son are also nowhere to be found in the turbulent Xianyang.

After Ren Huan's death, Zhao Tuo remained in the southwest corner of the country, and a few years later (204 BC) established himself as the martial king of Nanyue. Ten years later, Zhao Tuo declared himself a vassal to Liu Bang and was named the king of Nanyue by Liu Bang. When Liu Bang proclaimed himself Emperor Wu after his death, Zhao Tuo didn't know if he had ever felt guilty about the Great Qin who was submerged in the sea of fire.

Today, Zhao Tuo is still the general of the South China Sea, and Ren Huan is still living in Panyu City. Zhao Guang is eighteen years old!

As the youngest brother of Zhao Tuo, the actual helmsman of several counties in the South China Sea, Zhao Guang's status in Panyu City is extremely special. He didn't have any actual official position, because all the official positions were to be sealed by the imperial court. However, as Zhao Tuo's favorite younger brother, no one in the entire Nanhai County could ignore this nameless young man.

The situation changed on a rainy night two months ago.

Meng Chong, who disappeared for several months and returned to Nanhai County, brought back a piece of news that made more than 200,000 old Qin soldiers in Nanhai ecstatic. The Second Emperor was woken up by the First Emperor's dream, Meng Tian and Meng Yi were released by the Second Emperor at the same time, the traitor Zhao Gao was ambushed, the Second Emperor issued three edicts against himself, and at the same time stopped the buildings of the gallops and palaces everywhere, released countless people from all over Guanzhong, reduced taxes in the world, and a series of news that made everyone stunned but had to believe.

The feeling of depression and helplessness among the old Qin people in several counties in the South China Sea because of the wave of restoration caused by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms was swept away in an instant. A large number of old Qin people, including the generals of the Mengshi clan, wrote to ask the general Ren Huan and the Nanhai general Zhao Tuo to appear as emperors and lead the army north to quell the rebellion.

Various undercurrents are stirring in several counties in the South China Sea, which have just entered a calm for less than a few years.

The fifth day of the sixth month of the first year of Great Qin II. The general Ren Huan suddenly vomited blood and died, and then the South China Sea general Zhao Tuo recuperated because of excessive vomiting of blood. Just when several counties in the South China Sea fell into a leaderless place because of this sudden change, Zhao Guang, the younger brother of Zhao Tuo, the general of the South China Sea, took out an order written by Zhao Tuo. Immediately afterwards, with the support of dozens of Baiyue elders, in accordance with Zhao Tuo's order, Zhao Guang, who was only eighteen years old, acted as the general of the South China Sea on behalf of Zhao Tuo.

Things changed overnight. Soon after Zhao Guang took the post of general of Nanhai, a large number of generals at all levels of the Mengshi clan were replaced and idle, and they were replaced by many Baiyue barbarians who could not read a single big character, and these people were appointed by Zhao Guang as generals at all levels and placed in the hundreds of thousands of troops in several counties of Nanhai.

On June 20 of the first year of Great Qin II, under the leadership of Meng Chong, more than 100,000 old Qin infantry soldiers stationed in Panyu suddenly came out of the camp, intending to go north from Lujiang County and return to the land of Xianyang in Guanzhong. The actions of Meng Chong and the others immediately shocked the entire Panyu.

Zhao Guang, who received the news, led an army of nearly 200,000 troops composed of most of the troops of the Chu State and the Baiyue barbarians stationed in Panyu, and met with more than 100,000 troops of Meng Chong 50 miles outside Panyu City, and the war was about to break out.

And at this time, the son-in-law of the late son Fusu, who disappeared in Xianyang, suddenly appeared in front of the two armies.

Perhaps few of the more than 200,000 troops on Zhao Guang's side, which were mostly composed of Chu State soldiers and Baiyue barbarians, could recognize Ziying, but the more than 100,000 old Qin people on Meng Chong's side were no strangers to Ziying.

As the only son-in-law of Fusu, the recognized successor to the throne of Great Qin, Ziying received no less attention from Guanzhong, Xianyang, Lao Qin, and Meng. After all, Fusu succeeded to the throne, and Ziying, as the only heir of Fusu, would inevitably be the third emperor of Great Qin.
