There is constantly good news coming, the Qin army is very smooth, it can be said that the wind is down, as long as the Qin army arrives, where is the land of the Qin State.

Up to now, except for Jiangdong, which is too far away, the rest of Chu has become the land of Qin.

On this day, Qin Yiren was handling official business, and Zheng Guo arrived. Qin Yiren got the news and immediately ordered Zheng Guo to come and meet him.

Zheng Guo came quickly with a young man, with a smile on his face, and saluted Qin Yiren, "The minister has seen the king." ”

"Excuse me." Qin Yiren waved his hand and looked at this young man, only to see that this young man was about twenty years old, but he was very strong, very tall, and his eyes were particularly bright and wise.

"This person is not idle." Qin Yiren secretly said in his heart.

"Shi Lu, I've seen you soon." Zheng Guo said to the young man, and then to Qin Yidao: "Your Majesty, this is Shi Lu, a student of the minister, who is quite talented in water control. ”

"Shilu?" Qin Yiren's mouth opened wide, and he was so surprised that his jaw almost hit the short case.

Qin Yiren summoned Zheng Guo this time, that is, there is a very important water conservancy project to be repaired, and this water conservancy project is related to Shi Lu. Unexpectedly, Zheng Guo brought Shi Lu here.

"It's okay now, with Shi Lu here, this water conservancy must be completed." Immediately afterwards, Qin Yiren was overjoyed.

The water conservancy project that Qin Yiren wants to build is Shi Lu's masterpiece in history, and now that he sees Shi Lu, he can't do it if Qin Yiren is not full of confidence.

"Shi Lu has seen the king." Shi Lu greeted Qin Yiren.

"Excuse me. Come, sit. Qin Yiren beckoned the master and apprentice to sit down.

"The king summoned his ministers to come, but he wants to control the water in Chudi?" Zheng Guo looked at Qin Yiren. The eyes sparkled. was greatly excited: "Although the minister is not from Chu. But he knows very well about the water conservancy of Chudi, and if he wants to control the water, the minister will have something to do. ”

is worthy of being a famous water worker, and when it comes to water control, he is excited, Qin Yiren smiled and said: "Zheng Guo is not in a hurry." There are many rivers and lakes in Chudi, and there is a lot of water to be treated, and what you have is water treatment. However, the widow has called you this time. It's not to control the water in Chudi, but there is an extremely important thing assigned to you, do you dare to take it? ”

"Your Majesty, please command." Zheng Guo said busily.

Qin Yi made a move, and Meng Zhao led people to carry a huge map and put it on the ground to unfold.

Zheng Guo saw that this was a map of the junction of Baiyue and the Central Plains, which was very detailed, and he was puzzled, and asked, "Your Majesty, this is ......?"

"Mr. Bu Lie said. The widow wants to conquer the land of a hundred people. Qin Yiren stood up and came to the front of the map.

"And Baiyue?" Zheng Guo and Shi Lu exclaimed. I was amazed.

"Great! That's great! Immediately afterward, the master and apprentice were greatly excited.

The land of Baiyue has long been trading with the Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains are no strangers to Baiyue. Moreover, Baiyue theoretically still belongs to the territory of the Chu State, although the Chu State does not have effective control, after all, it belongs to the Chu State.

At first glance, when I heard that Qin Yiren wanted to merge with the land of Baiyue, who could not be excited?

"The State of Chu has owned the land of Baiyue for hundreds of years, but the State of Chu cannot really own the land of Baiyue, and it cannot borrow the power of Baiyue, otherwise, the State of Chu will be stronger." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and said: "The widow wants to dominate the world, if he can't pacify the land of Baiyue, how can he say that he will go down in one day?" ”

Historically, Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, not only to sweep away the Six Kingdoms and unify the Central Plains, but also to include the land of Baiyue. It was Qin Shi Huang who ordered 500,000 Qin troops to cross the Wuling Mountains and pacify the land of Baiyue, which gave rise to the territory of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Vietnam, and part of Zhejiang.

If the land of South China cannot be returned to the territory, the great cause of unification carried out by Qin Yiren will not be perfect, and Qin Yiren will certainly not give up.

"Your Majesty." Zheng Guo and Shi Lu were convinced.

If it were a different person, it would probably be ignored because the land of Baiyue was a barbarian land, but Qin Yiren wanted to pacify the land of Baiyue, and everyone would have to be convinced of this ambition.

"However, the land of Baiyue is different from the Central Plains, and the army is dispatched, and it needs a lot of grain and grass. Wuling is dangerous, and if you want to transport grain through Wuling, it is not enough for the army. Therefore, the widow is thinking that it will be much more convenient to connect Hunan and Lishui, build a river, and transport grain and grass through water transportation. Qin Yiren pointed to the map.

The artificial canal of Xiangshui and Lishui is called "Lingqu", which is the most important strategic passage connecting Lingnan in the Central Plains in ancient China, so to speak, if there is no Lingqu, the Central Plains Dynasty's control of Lingnan will not be effective enough, and even Lingnan may no longer belong to China.

This shows the importance of the spiritual canal.

After Qin Shi Huang swept away the countries and unified the Central Plains, he was determined to pacify the land of Baiyue, and Tu Sui led an army of 500,000 from Changsha, crossed the five mountains, and pacified the land of Baiyue. At first, the progress of the Qin army was very smooth, and it soon reached Guilin. After arriving in Guilin, the offensive of the Qin army was thwarted and could no longer be moved.

It is not that the combat power of the Qin army is not strong enough, but because there is a problem with the logistics of the Qin army, and the transportation of grain and grass by land and through Wuling is far from enough for the Qin army, and the Qin army is almost hungry to fight, how can this have combat power.

In order to solve the problem of grain and grass, Qin Shi Huang came to Changsha twice and convened the generals to discuss, but there was no way.

At this critical juncture, a key figure appeared, this is Shi Lu. He suggested to Qin Shi Huang that Xiangshui and Lishui should be connected to build an artificial canal. Qin Shi Huang adopted his suggestion and finally built the Ling Canal, and after the Qin army's grain and grass were settled, it took only half a year for the Qin army to pacify the land of Lingnan.

Qin Yiren knew about this, if he couldn't solve the grain and grass of the Qin army first, it would be impossible to pacify the land of Lingnan, so he summoned Zheng Guo to discuss this matter.

"The king is far-sighted, and the minister admires him very much." Zheng Guo was greatly pleased, but he changed his words and said: "As far as the minister knows, the Xiangshui is higher than the Lishui, and if the two waters are connected, they will not be navigable." ”

Xiangshui is higher than Lishui, with a drop of several hundred meters, and if it is directly connected, it cannot be navigated.

"Let's go survey the terrain first." Qin Yiren glanced at Shi Lu, wondering if Shi Lu could come up with such an ingenious plan as in history. Even if Shi Lu couldn't come up with such an ingenious plan again, Qin Yiren knew it, and as long as he needed to put it forward, it would be done.

"No!" Zheng Guo and Shi Lu received the order, and then they said goodbye to Qin Yiren and went to survey the terrain.

A few days later, Wei Yi rushed to meet Qin Yiren, Qin Yiren arranged the affairs, led a team of Qin army guards, and returned to Xianyang with Wei Yiren.

The world has been decided, and the affairs have become a mountain, and the sooner Qin Yiren returns to Xianyang, the better.

"Rumble." Wang Jian led the Qin army to conquer the city, which was extremely smooth, and he did not encounter decent resistance along the way, and soon arrived at the current place of Wuxi, where he was stopped by the local people.

"Qi Qin Jun, we have discovered a strange thing here." An old man with white hair said to Wang Qian: "Tin Mountain is rich in tin, and it has always been the most profitable business for us here. However, in the past few days, there has been less and less tin, and now there is no tin at all. We were just amazed, and kept digging, and dug up a stone tablet with words written on it, which was really a strange thing. ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Wang Jian was surprised and said, "Let me see." ”

Immediately, a few strong descendants came carrying a very heavy stone stele, Wang Jian opened his eyes wide, and saw that the stele was stained with a lot of new mud, which was just unearthed.

The stele reads "If there is tin, it will be chaotic, and Wuxi will be Ning".

"Fathers and fellow villagers: auspicious rain descends from the sky, indicating that Great Qin will dominate the world, and you will have a good life. Well, this place will be called Wuxi in the future. Wang Jian said with a deep sigh.

"Wuxi? Appropriate, pertinent. The people of the country were in favor of it.

That's how Wuxi came about.

Wang Jian said goodbye and led the Qin army to continue to move forward, and someone asked puzzledly: "General, is there really such an auspicious thing?" ”

"Does it matter?" Wang Jian asked rhetorically.

It doesn't matter if there is really such an auspicious thing, the important thing is that you can make a fuss about it and promote it for the Qin State.

Soon, the Qin army came to Gusu. Gusu was the capital of Wu in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and later it was the fief of Chunshenjun, who ruled the palace here, and was extremely luxurious, more luxurious than the palace of Chu.

Chun Shenjun led his clansmen to meet each other and wanted to surrender to Qin. Of course, the premise is that Qin will give him the Huang family's fief in Jiangdong. Wang Jian didn't say a word, and directly detained Chun Shenjun, and then ordered him to be beheaded.

In this way, Chun Shenjun, one of the "Four Sons of the Warring States", was in a different place.

As soon as Chun Shenjun died, there were no more ministers of the Chu State who could stir up the wind and rain, and it could be said that the Chu State was completely destroyed.

Chu State originated in the land of Jingxiang, the land is large and abundant, it is the largest of the seven warring states, has amazing strength, once, for the world people are optimistic, thinking that the unification of China must be the Chu State. However, the state of Chu quickly declined and lost its qualification to win the world.

The state of Chu has a vast territory, rich products, and a large number of mouths, why did it decay so quickly? The reason is that the state of Chu implements a feudal system, and there are five major families in the country, and a large number of medium families and small families.

These families divided the state of Chu, although the state of Chu was nominally a unified warring state, but in fact it was divided, and the family had its own interests, and its strength would not be used in one place, which made the most powerful Chu state just a second-rate warring state.

The land and population of the Qin State is less than half of that of the Chu State, and it can suppress the Chu State for a hundred years, which shows how serious the division of the Chu State is.

Wu Qi's reform in the Chu State ultimately failed, and it ended because of the opposition of the family. Wu Qi's changes were mainly focused on the reform of the military system, and before they really touched the core interests of the Chu family, and before they had sealed the family, they united and killed Wu Qi.

This shows how huge the power of the family is.

If the state of Chu does not have such a huge family, Wu Qi's reform can be successful, and there is an ambitious monarch, then it will definitely be the state of Chu in the next day.

It's a pity that the "partition" ruined the state of Chu and eventually perished. (To be continued......)
