Now Guangzhou is an extremely important outlet to the sea, a prosperous place, and Panyu in the Warring States Period is a poor and remote place, the whole city covers an area of only three or five miles, and it is also made of stone strips simply piled up, it is very rough, there is no rule at all.

If such a city is placed in the Central Plains, it is not a fart, but it is the largest city in Baiyue.

Wang Jian rode a tall horse, stationed outside Panyu City, looking at Panyu City, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Although the land of Baiyue is poor, however, it is easy to govern, if the state of Chu can govern the land of Baiyue well, get the power of Baiyue, and look at the world." Ying Zheng stood at Ma Wang Qian's side, looked at Panyu for a while, and was very emotional.

"What the prince said is extremely true, although the land of Baiyue is vast and sparsely populated, extremely poor, however, it is rich in products, if it is well governed, the national strength of Chu will be on a higher level. It is a pity that the state of Chu only knew how to compete with China for hegemony and consumed its limited national strength in the Central Plains. Meng Tian greatly agreed with Ying Zheng's words.

Now, when Panyu comes, it means that the land of Baiyue has been pacified, and Yingzheng, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Wang Ben have basically ended their experiences, and their identities can be made public.

"Prince, tell me why the land of Baiyue is easy to govern?" Wang Jian raised his eyebrows, and the light in his eyes flashed, and he wanted to take the test for Yingzheng.

"Since crossing the Wuling Mountains and entering Lingnan, what I have seen along the way, NCCU has sighed." Ying Zheng looked emotional, and said: "Although the Yue people don't know the power of the Central Plains, they are simple, and this is easy to govern." Second, although the land of Lingnan is very different from the Central Plains, it is very hot, and the crops can be harvested twice or even three times a year. As long as it is well governed. The land of Lingnan is bound to be a land of abundance. The Yue people have food to eat. If you have clothes to wear and can live and work in peace and contentment, you will not rebel again. The third is that the Yue people are scattered and live according to the tribe, with only a few hundred people in the small tribe and only 350,000 people in the large tribe. ”

Ying Zheng's words are true, and the land of Baiyue is really easy to govern. Since Qin Shi Huang pacified Baiyue, there was only a brief betrayal at the end of Qin. That's because Zhao Tuosai cut off the Wuling Passage and cut off contact with the Central Plains. After Liu Bang pacified the world, Baiyue asked to surrender again.

Of course, this kind of surrender is just a delaying strategy, because the economy of Baiyue is very much in need of the Central Plains, not to mention anything else, as long as the Han Dynasty comes to an economic blockade, Baiyue will not be able to stand it, and he will not have to soften.

The reason why Zhao Tuo decided to rebel. There is another important reason, that is, the Empress Dowager Lu came in chaos. angered Zhao Tuo.

By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he sent troops to pacify Baiyue. Since then, there has been no major repetition in the land of Baiyue, which can be described as easy to govern.

The reason why the land of Baiyue is easy to govern is because the people of Baiyue are simple, as long as they are given food and clothing, they will no longer rebel. Second, because Lingnan has fertile land and a hot climate, it is completely possible to do two crops a year, or even three crops a year. Who wants to rebel if they can live in peace and contentment? The third is that the Yue people are scattered everywhere and cannot be gathered together, and there is no backbone, so they can be completely divided and controlled.

"Good! Pick! Wang Qian's eyes flashed, and he greatly appreciated Yingzheng's insights.

Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Wang Ben also nodded heavily, agreeing with this.

"Those who have the land of barbarians are not only the Chu State, but also the Qi State and the Great Qin." Ying Zheng continued: "Taigong was enshrined in Qi, however, at that time, Qi was entrenched in Dongyi, Taigong broke Dongyi, owned its land, and governed its people. Daqin Mugong and more than 20 countries of Xirong, obtained the land of Rong, governed the people, and made Daqin hegemonic. Great Qin and Qi can get the barbarian land, and finally dominate the world, while the Chu State can get such a vast barbarian land as Baiyue, but they can't govern it, they can't use the power of Baiyue, and finally lose the country, which is a pity! ”

The land of barbarians is synonymous with bitter cold, however, as long as it is governed properly, it can also become a land of abundance, and the states of Qi and Qin are excellent examples.

And the land of Baiyue obtained by the Chu State is thousands of miles away, if the Chu State can govern it well, its strength will have a qualitative leap, and it will definitely dominate the world, and no one is an opponent.

It's a pity that the eyes of the successive monarchs of Chu State are only staring at the Central Plains, wanting to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, even King Chu Zhuang, the generation of male lords of Chu State, is no exception. The road of fighting for hegemony for hundreds of years turned out to make the Chu State use up its limited strength and become weaker and weaker.

Ying Zheng's words are too reasonable, and Wang Jian and they greatly agree.

After entering Panyu, Wang Jian ordered a rest.

During the recuperation period, Wang Jian actively prepared to sweep away the remnants of Baiyue and then march into the army.

After a short respite, the Qin army went out in a big way and began to sweep away the remnants of those forces that did not want to submit to the Qin dynasty and stabilize the situation.

At the same time, a three-way army was sent out, and then the battle was carried out.

The first route was 100,000 Qin troops into Cochin, which is now Vietnam, to conquer this area, because this is also the land of Baiyue.

The second route was for 20,000 Qin troops to cross the Qiongzhou Strait, enter Hainan Island, and pacify Hainan Island.

The third route was a 50,000-strong Qin army, led by Li Erlang, who crossed the Taiwan Strait and took Taiwan back into the territory.

These three armies came out together, broke through, did not encounter decent resistance, and quickly completed the task.

At this point, the land of Baiyue has been completely pacified, and the next thing is to sweep away the remnants and stabilize the situation.

From Changsha to the end of the main war, the Qin army spent a total of seven months and expanded thousands of miles, which can be described as rapid progress.

This is all thanks to the full preparation of Qin Yiren, especially the construction of the Ling Canal, the establishment of the Guilin camp, and the storage of a large amount of baggage, so that the Qin army has no worries.

Historically, Qin Shi Huang pacified the Battle of Lingnan for several years, in which the commander of the Qin army, Tu Sui, was also killed in Guilin, which can be described as a very high price.

The reason for this is that Qin Shi Huang did not prepare to store grain and grass in advance, and when the Qin army reached the front line of Guilin, the logistics were ineffective and could not supply the needs of the 500,000 army, resulting in a prolonged war.

Although Qin Shi Huang adopted Shi Lu's suggestion to build the Ling Canal, however, the construction of the Ling Canal alone took more than two years, and it was impossible to achieve the war without prolonging it.

Of course, Qin Shi Huang can't be blamed for this, no one thought of it. Qin Yiren is a modern person. Familiarize yourself with this history. Learned the lessons of Qin Shi Huang. Be prepared in advance.

It took another three months for the Qin army to sweep away the rebel forces in various places, and the situation in Baiyue finally stabilized.

Xianyang, Imperial Palace, Upper Study.

Qin Yiren was wearing a crown and a royal robe, kneeling on a low table, and was reviewing the recitals.

That's when it happened. Han Fei came in happily, saluted Qin Yiren, and said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”

Qin Yiren waved his hand and said, "Excuse me." ”

"Your Majesty, this is the general's military report." Han Fei's face was full of joy.

"Han Fei, you wrote all the good things on your face, and the general pacified Baiyue, right?" Qin Yiren asked with a smile.

"yes." Han Fei was full of praise and said, "Great Qin sent troops this time, and the progress was rapid, and it only took ten months. It stabilized the land of Baiyue and expanded the land for thousands of miles. Yes, yes. ”

"Ten months to expand thousands of miles, is indeed amazing." Qin Yiren nodded heavily, took the military report, and unfolded it to take a look, it was Wang Qian's report of success, in which he explained the march and the results.

Qin Yiren put down the military report and said to Han Fei: "Go and call the prime minister, Li Si, Wang Xuan, Fan Zeng, and Meng Wu, and we will discuss the next matter." Well, I want Fan Sui to come too. ”

Although Fan Sui is a scholar, he is very intelligent, and it is appropriate to listen to his opinions.

Han Fei received the order and hurriedly went to handle it.

Qin Yiren looked at the military newspaper and nodded frequently, with a look of relief.

The land of Baiyue is now Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan Island and Vietnam, which was taken by the Qin Dynasty, which means that China is more complete. This is a great joy, can Qin Yiren not be pleased?

It didn't take long for Fan Sui, Huang Shigong, Li Si, Wang Xuan, Fan Zeng, and Meng Wu to be full of joy, and they walked in quickly and greeted Qin Yiren.

Qin Yiren waved his hand, asked them to sit down, ordered someone to bring tea, shook Wang Qian's military report, and said: "You should all have received the news, the general has pacified Lingnan, and the situation in Lingnan has stabilized, and the Great Qin has expanded thousands of miles, this is a good thing, a great thing!" ”

"Huh!" The crowd burst into laughter and rejoiced.

"As soon as Baiyue is pacified, there will be only one Xiongnu left, and what should be done with Daqin next, you can all talk about it." Qin Yiren had a smile on his face.

After the Qin State swept away the Shandong countries and unified China, there were only three alien races left: Baiyue, Xiongnu and Donghu. Now, Baiyue and Donghu have been defeated, and there is only one Xiongnu left, and it is time to discuss the matter of dealing with the Xiongnu.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the battle with the Xiongnu will take a long time, and it is autumn now, so it is not suitable to use troops against the Xiongnu." Fan Sui's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "It is advisable to send a large army to the north, camp in the north to rest, and wait for the next spring to come out of the fortress." ”

"Minister's approval!" A chorus of echoes rang out.

Fan Sui's words are very reasonable. Ten years ago, although the Xiongnu were wiped out by Qin Yiren and millions of people, they have not yet recovered, but they are still not to be underestimated. First, because the desert is vast and immense, it is very difficult for the Qin army to fight the Xiongnu in the desert. The second reason is that the Xiongnu have regained a lot of strength so far, and this fight will create a lot of trouble for the Qin army.

Therefore, this battle will take a relatively long time, and it will not be resolved in three or two months, but at least a year and a half.

And now it's autumn, and it's about to be winter, so it's not a good opportunity to use troops. The army should be transferred to the north to rest, and in the spring of the next year, it will be carried out in a big way, and the troops will be sent out of the desert to smash the old nest of the Huns.

"Hmm." Qin Yiren appreciated what Fan Sui said, nodded heavily, and said: "If you want to defeat the Xiongnu, Great Qin must send troops on a large scale, and the current army in the north is not enough, and it is necessary to transfer troops from Lingnan. ”

"The land of Lingnan is very large, and it is newly determined, and the minister thinks that the garrison army should not be less than 300,000." Huang Shi Gongwei groaned.

"The minister thinks the same." Li Si and the others echoed in unison.

After all, the land of Lingnan is not small, and it is newly determined, and the troops stationed there cannot be too few. Otherwise, if there is a rebellion, there are not enough troops to destroy it immediately, and it may cause a catastrophe.

The crowd deliberated for a while, but no one objected.

"Message: Mobilize 200,000 Lingnan troops to the north." Qin Yiren's eyes flickered, and he said loudly: "In addition, the army that broke the Huns can go north, and they must all go north before the spring of next year." (To be continued......)
