Chapter 12: The Conquest of the Aliens
As soon as the accession to the throne was completed, Qin Yiren immediately summoned Fan Sui, Wang Qian, Li Mu, Sima Shang, Li Si, Han Fei, Cai Ze, Fan Zeng, Meng Fu, and Meng Wu, these ministers, to discuss major matters.
Qin Yiren glanced at everyone, and saw the joy on everyone's faces, as if they had eaten honey. It's no wonder that Qin Yiren ascended the throne as emperor, which is an unprecedented thing, and they can't help but be unhappy when they meet the grand event.
"You're happy, aren't you? I am also very happy, Daqin has fought for hundreds of years, and finally succeeded in unifying China, this is an unprecedented event since Pangu opened the world, and it should be happy. Qin Yiren had a smile on his face, and when he said this, he changed his words and said, "However, I have to remind you that governing the world has just begun, and you still have to work hard. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fan Sui looked awe-inspiring and led the training in unison.
"After King Wu of Zhou cut down the merchants, he thought that the world was stable, and he had no worries from then on, so he put Nanshan on the horse and put the swords and guns into the warehouse. He took it for granted, is the world really safe? Qin Yiren shook his head slowly, a little disdainful, and said: "It didn't take long for the sword soldiers to rise again, and the Zhou family had to fight again, just because of this stupid move of King Wu of Zhou, the Zhou room suffered enough." Confucius and Mencius, two pedantic people, are still boasting about King Wu of Zhou and praising him for being benevolent, but they are bullshit, and Daqin must not make such a mistake. ”
King Wu of Zhou's swords and guns were put into storage, and the horses were put in Nanshan, showing the world that Zhou Tianzi had no intention of revolutionizing the army, and its influence was very deep, both good and bad. The good side is that it is reassuring that there will be no more sword disasters in the future. The bad side, that is, those people with ulterior motives secretly rejoice in their hearts, and your knives and guns are in storage. The horse is in the south mountain. You don't want to fight anymore. Then it will be my turn. This is tantamount to boosting the dissent of those people, and eventually the sword will rise again.
Of course, its influence was far more than that, and in the Three Kingdoms era, Sima Yan unified China, and he was bent on emulating King Wu of Zhou's swords and guns into the warehouse, and the horses were put into Nanshan, wanting to disarm the armament, which caused an uproar at the time. It sparked a big controversy. In the end, the Jin Dynasty really lifted a lot of armaments.
This led to the "Eight Kings Rebellion", when the Eight Kings rebelled, the Jin Dynasty found that there was no armament, although the Eight Kings Rebellion was pacified, but it was the Jin Dynasty that declined, unable to resist the Hu people in the north, and the final result was the great division of the North and South Dynasties for hundreds of years, and the five Hu Chaos.
"Great Qin can't have such pedantic behavior, and military equipment should be unremittingly prepared." Qin Yiren's face froze. Deep voice.
Although the Qin State unified the world, however. The remnants of Shandong are still there, if they are like King Wu of Zhou, they put Nanshan and put their swords and guns into storage, it is tantamount to telling these remnants that you are against it, and I am powerless to suppress you. This kind of stupid thing, Qin Yiren will definitely not do it.
If you want to make these remnants dare not move, the only way to do this is to not relax your armament, as long as you dare to take the lead, you can fight directly.
This is very reasonable, and Fan Sui and the others all nodded in agreement.
"The world was initially decided, and it should have rested and recuperated, and there were two places that must be solved with sword soldiers." Qin Yiren raised his right hand, stretched out his two fingers, and said, "One is to pacify Lingnan, and the other is to defeat the Huns." ”
After the Qin State unified the world, it was inevitable to pacify Lingnan and defeat the Xiongnu. This will be the largest deal against foreign enemies in the history of China, which is very exciting, and Fan Sui and they are all full of enthusiasm.
"In the land of Lingnan, as early as the end of summer and the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, there were people from the Central Plains who entered Lingnan and spread the civilization of the Central Plains. At the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, there were more Central Plains people who entered Lingnan because of the war at the end of the Shang Dynasty. In particular, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world was in turmoil, the princes were conscripted, and the people of Li suffered from the Warring States and the bitterness, in order to avoid the war, a large number of people from the Central Plains entered Lingnan, which greatly promoted the development of Lingnan. Qin Yiren's face was solemn, and he said: "After more than 1,000 years of development, Lingnan has been very close to the Central Plains. ”
The entry of the Central Plains into Lingnan can be traced back to the end of summer and the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, but not many people entered Lingnan at that time. At the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the entry of the Central Plains into the land of Lingnan was a climax. After this wave of climax, when it came to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Central Plains were frequently war-torn, and in order to avoid the war, many Central Plains people entered the land of Lingnan, which was another wave of climax.
These Central Plains people who entered Lingnan brought advanced civilization and advanced technology, which greatly promoted the development of Lingnan.
It can be said that the land of Lingnan is a "colony" that was inadvertently developed by the Central Plains.
Although the state of Chu nominally conquered the land of Lingnan, it was powerless to control it, and the land of Lingnan was obedient if it wanted to obey, and it resisted if it did not want to obey, and the possession of Lingnan by the state of Chu was in name only.
In any case, the land of Lingnan is closely related to the Central Plains, and it must be taken down, otherwise, it will be worthy of the ancestors of China.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Pacifying Baiyue and occupying the land of Lingnan is already a consensus, and Fan Sui and they will not have any objections.
"As for the Xiongnu, as you all know, it is a great calamity in the north of China, and if it is not eliminated for a day, the north will be restless for a day." Qin Yiren's face was solemn, and he said coldly: "Decades ago, the Xiongnu went south, but fortunately Zhao Yong broke it, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Xiongnu and had to retreat to Mobei to recuperate. Ten years ago, the Xiongnu wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Great Qin's eastward expansion to go south, but fortunately, the eldest father was wise enough to accept Li Mu's request for help, give up the eastward advance, and lead 300,000 Great Qin Ruishi to the north, and the Hetao battle annihilated millions of Xiongnu. Over the years, the Xiongnu retreated to Mobei, recuperating and accumulating strength, or it would take a few more time for them to go south again, so that there would inevitably be a life-and-death war between Daqin and the Xiongnu. ”
The bitter cold of Mobei, although it is the rear of the Huns, can make the Huns recuperate and accumulate strength, however, the Huns will not stay long in Mobei. As long as the power of the Xiongnu is restored, it is inevitable that the Xiongnu will go south, and there will be a war with the Qin Dynasty.
"In the past, the Central Plains was in turmoil, the princes were conscripted, they could not be twisted into a rope, the force could not be used in a centralized manner, and even with the strength of Great Qin, they could not completely defeat the Xiongnu." Qin Yiren's voice turned higher and said: "Now, Daqin dominates the world, Daqin's strength is even stronger, and it has the strength to completely defeat the Xiongnu. ”
Who doesn't know the dangers of the Huns, and who doesn't know? Defeat the Huns and restore peace in China, who doesn't want to? Qin Yiren's words came to everyone's hearts, and all of them were full of light in their eyes, and they were extremely excited.
"How can you accomplish these two things, you can tell me." Qin Yiren rushed to everyone.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if Daqin wants to accomplish these two things, he must first do one thing." Wang Jian was the first to speak, and said, "This matter is to redeploy the army of Great Qin. In the past, Daqin only had one big camp in Lantian, but if it is unified today, this is no longer applicable. ”
"Good!" The crowd praised in unison.
The Lantian camp was the most important barracks in the Qin State and the largest barracks in the world, which was in line with the situation at that time. Now that the world is unified, the territory of the Qin Dynasty is even more vast, and a large Lantian battalion can no longer meet the needs, and it is imperative to redeploy the Qin army.
"Wang Qian, how do you want to redeploy?" Qin Yiren bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that barracks should be set up in Xinzheng, Daliang, Jicheng, Linzi, Ying, Shouchun, and Changsha, and the troops should be stationed in various places to guard all places." Wang Jian has long been thoughtful.
"Your Excellency approves." Fan Sui and they were in favor of it, and no one had any objections.
"That's good, that's what I think." Qin Yiren rushed at Wang Jian and said, "The redeployment of the Great Qin Ruishi will be handled by the general and Li Mu together." ”
Wang Jian is a general, with a high position and power, and this matter is his own business. As for Li Mu, he has outstanding talents, although he is not a general, he is also convincing, and he should also participate.
No one has any objection to this, and all are good.
"The matter of defeating the Xiongnu will be planned by Li Mu, and the matter of pacifying North Vietnam will be planned by the general." Qin Yiren rushed to the two of them.
Li Mujiu was in the north, and he was most familiar with the Xiongnu, and it was best for him to take the lead in planning this matter.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not difficult to pacify Baiyue, but the difficulty lies in how to ensure the logistics baggage." Wang Jian said that it was an urgent matter.
Although Baiyue is large, it includes part of the current Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Vietnam and Zhejiang, which is now the entire land of South China. However, Baiyue was divided internally, and it did not have the strong economic strength of the Central Plains, so it was not a problem for the Qin State to pacify Lingnan, the problem was whether it could ensure the logistical baggage of the Qin army.
Historically, Qin Shi Huang sent an army of 500,000 to pacify Lingnan, and the Qin army fought very smoothly at the beginning, and soon captured what is now Guilin. Then, the problem came, the logistics supply was not available, and it was difficult to supply enough grain and grass through the treacherous road in Wuling, so that the Qin army had no food to eat, no clothing to wear, and the Qin army was almost hungry to fight, with low morale, unstable morale, and low combat effectiveness.
What's even more painful, Tu Sui, the commander of the Qin army, was killed in a sneak attack of Baiyue.
If the logistics are not resolved, it will be difficult for South Vietnam to be pacified. Wang Jian is worthy of being an outstanding military genius, and his words are to the point.
Historically, when Qin Shi Huang pacified Lingnan, Wang Jian had already died of illness. If he was still alive, maybe with his keen insight, he would have discovered this problem first, and the Qin army would not have fought so hard.
"What the general said is extremely reasonable, but how to solve this logistical problem?" Fan Sui was also worried.
The importance of grain and grass to an army does not need to be said, everyone can understand it.
The road in Wuling is difficult to travel, and if you want to transport enough grain and grass through Wuling, it is a fool's dream, and everyone is frowning and anxious.
"It doesn't matter. I have long been in place for this. Qin Yidao: "Call Zheng Guo here." ”
Meng Zhao received the order and was busy leading people.
After a while, Zheng Guo came in with his student Shi Lu. The two of them greeted Qin Yiren, and Qin Yiren rushed to Zheng Guo and said, "Zheng Guo, last time in Changsha, how did I ask you to investigate?" ”
"Your Majesty, this matter is worthy of Your Majesty's trust, and there is nothing to be done. However, Shi Lu, a student of Chen, has a wonderful idea, so let him talk about it. Zheng Guo hugged Qin Yiren with a fist. (To be continued......)
