Chapter 5 Hundred Yue Pacification
Although the land of Baiyue is wide, however, Baiyue exists in the form of tribes, small tribes are only hundreds of people, and large tribes are only tens of thousands of people, each fighting for itself, and the strength cannot be gathered together.
Moreover, Baiyue did not have an advanced civilization or developed science and technology, so it was far from the Qin Dynasty. This led to the fact that there were no weapons of fine food in the land of Baiyue, and the Qin army had excellent equipment, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.
Not to mention, Baiyue has no strict orders, no battle formation at all, as long as it fights, like the Huns and Donghu, they will rush up, if the war is unfavorable, there will be no chance of turning the tables.
When the Baiyue army encountered the Qin army, where was the opponent, it would not succeed without defeat, and it was killed by the Qin army and the blood flowed.
At the beginning, Bai Yue didn't know the might of the Qin army, and he didn't take the Qin army in his eyes, but after the Qin army was powerful and killed a lot of people, Bai Yue finally knew the power of the Qin army, and couldn't help but be terrified and terrified.
However, the killing of the Qin army was only the beginning. As soon as the Qin army passed through Wuling and entered Lingnan, it was to divide the troops and kill.
The Baiyue army was poorly equipped, had not undergone rigorous training, and did not have advanced tactics and tactics, so it could not pose any threat to the Qin army, and there was no need to concentrate the Qin army together. Wang Jian divided his troops at the right time, and took the Qin army into a team of 10,000 people and attacked everywhere.
Even so, the Baiyue army still couldn't resist the offensive of the Qin army, and the Qin army made smooth progress all the way, as if entering a no-man's land.
The Qin army not only pursued the Yue people's residence, but also pursued and killed them all over the mountains. The situation of Baiyue is very different from that of the Central Plains, it belongs to the jungle area, and fighting in Baiyue is a jungle battle. To this end, Wang Jian specially selected similar terrain for training. The Qin army was no stranger to jungle warfare.
"These damn Qin Jun. How can they be so good at burrowing into the jungle? It's not bad compared to us. ”
"I didn't expect that. These Qin troops ran so fast in the jungle and shot their arrows so accurately. I originally thought that this was our paradise, but I didn't expect that this was Qin Jun's paradise. ”
"The Qin army is terrifying, they are extremely sharp in slashing, proficient in riding and shooting, and good at drilling into the jungle, what else can't they do?"
The Yue people, who were chased by the Qin army and cornered, were depressed to death.
These Yue people have lived in the land of Lingnan for generations. is extremely familiar with the jungle in Lingnan, and originally thought that he could rely on this point to deal with the Qin army, but he didn't expect that the Qin army was also good at drilling into the jungle, and no matter where they fled to, they would be caught up by the Qin army.
Being good at drilling into the jungle is the ability of the Yue people, and even this point has been compared to the Qin army, can they not despair?
Once caught up by the Qin army, nine out of ten of the dead.
The reason why the Qin army wanted to carry out such a massacre was to establish authority. To let the Yue people know the military might of the Qin army, they dare not regain their hearts.
Although the state of Chu has nominally obtained the land of Baiyue for hundreds of years. But it can't be effectively controlled, which makes the Yue people arrogant, thinking that the Central Plains people are just like this, only by letting them kill and wound a lot, they can know the might of the Qin army, and they can not dare to betray again, this slaughter is necessary.
The Qin army's march into Lingnan this time did not encounter decent resistance, it was a completely one-sided massacre, and the place where the Qin army passed was bound to be a bloody road.
In this way, the Qin army made rapid progress, and soon arrived at the front line of Guilin, rested, recovered physical strength, replenished ordnance, grain and grass, and prepared to fight again.
Historically, after the 500,000 Qin army crossed Lingnan, the battle was very smooth. However, when it reached the front line of Guilin, it could no longer be fought, not because the Qin army was not good at fighting, but because the Qin army's logistical supplies were inadequate. At that time, there was no spiritual canal, and the supplies of the Qin army had to be transported by land, from Wuling.
The terrain of Wuling is dangerous, the road is difficult, it is not easy to supply the army of 500,000, the Qin army has no food, no clothing, low morale, and it is impossible to fight smoothly.
For this matter, Qin Shi Huang came to Changsha twice, and in the end, it was Shi Lu who proposed to build a spiritual canal and transport water to solve the burden of the Qin army.
Now, Qin Yiren prepared in advance, built the Ling Canal, set up the Guilin camp, and stored a large amount of baggage in Guilin.
After a short rest on the front line of Guilin, the morale of the Qin army was even higher, and the fighting spirit was blazing, and they embarked on the journey again.
After the Qin army entered Lingnan, it mainly carried out killings, and very few Yue surrendered. However, after the Guilin line, the Qin army killed less and less, because after the massacre of the Qin army, the Yue people were frightened and came to surrender one after another.
Killing is not an end, just a means, in order to shock the hearts of the Yue people, so that they know the might of the Qin army, and dare not regain the heart of betrayal.
Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to kill on a large scale, Wang Jian gave an order at the right time to accept the surrender of the Yue. The Yue people who got the news that they could surrender were overjoyed, even more joyful than the Chinese New Year, because they could finally live.
Of course, there are also some big tribes who don't know the height of the sky and want to resist, but they are severely attacked by the Qin army, with countless casualties, and even some tribes are all slaughtered by the Qin army.
The Borg Department is a large tribe in Baiyue, with a population of forty or fifty thousand, and its leader is called Bogya, an old acquaintance of Qin Yiren. This person once participated in the material ceremony and also entered the top ten.
At this time, the Borg was already the leader of the Borg Department, and he summoned his men to the king's tent and said to his subordinates: "You already know about the southward movement of the Qin army. The Qin army's soldiers were very sharp, and the place they passed was red, this was the blood of the Yue people......"
As soon as his words began, he heard a shout, and a group of subordinates shouted: "My lord, give an order, we will avenge the Yue people." ”
"That's right, revenge! How can we be rampant by the Qin army and wantonly kill, this revenge must be avenged! ”
"If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man."
After the Qin army entered Lingnan, they opened a killing spree, although it was a good goal to deter the Yue people, but at the same time, it also made the Yue people very angry, especially these big tribes, who thought they had many mouths and wanted to take revenge.
"Shut up!" The Borg tooth snorted like thunder, and said, "I have gathered you here today not to discuss how to take revenge, but to tell you that the Borg Ministry will return to Great Qin. ”
"What?" An exclamation sounded, and the eyes of all his subordinates were as wide as copper bells, and all of them looked incredulous.
"Why do you want to fall? Our Borg tribe is a large tribe in Lingnan, with more than 40,000 people. No, we will not surrender. ”
"That's right. We will not surrender even if we die, and we vow to fight the Qin army to the end. ”
A group of subordinates shouted loudly, and all of them were not angry.
"Enough!" Borg let out a deep sigh, like a thunderclap, and these subordinates were unwilling to shut up.
"Have you ever been to the Central Plains? Do you know how big the Central Plains is? Do you know how many people there are in the Central Plains? Borg's eyes flashed, and he asked loudly at his subordinates, "You haven't been to the Central Plains, you don't know." I have been to the Central Plains, and I know how big the Central Plains is and how many people there are in the Central Plains. ”
Speaking of this, his voice turned high, a little sharp and piercing, and said: "Our tribe covers an area of two hundred miles, but the Central Plains has hundreds of two hundred miles of land; Our tribe has more than 40,000 mouths, and the people in the Central Plains are four or five hundred times larger than ours, even if the Central Plains people can drown us all with a mouthful of spit......"
"Your Excellency, are you joking? How can the Central Plains be so big? There won't be so many people, right? "Some of my subordinates don't believe me.
"That's right." A chorus of echoes rang out.
The Yue people are mostly frogs at the bottom of the well, I don't know how big the Central Plains is, I don't know how many people there are in the Central Plains, and it is really difficult for them to believe that this is true.
"Humph!" Bog snorted coldly and said, "You don't need to think about it with your pig brains, the army that entered Lingnan in the Central Plains this time has 500,000 people, if the Central Plains does not have a large number of mouths, can you send so many troops?" If nothing else, just these 500,000 troops are ten times the number of our entire tribe. ”
These words were so shocking that all the subordinates were stunned, and they all opened their mouths wide and looked shocked.
"Not to mention, the Qin army has sophisticated equipment, strict orders, dignified formations, dare to fight, what do we use to fight the Qin army?" Bogya said in a deep voice: "If we don't surrender now, if the Qin army enters and suppresses, we will be too late, and we will all have to die." ”
"My lord, even if what you say is true, we can't rush to surrender, right? Even if we want to surrender, we have to look at it and ask the Qin army for some benefits. ”
"That's right, that's what it is."
The rest of his men are still dreaming.
"Your dreams are beautiful, but they are trying to bring trouble to us." Bog said in a cold voice, "Do you know who Qin Yiren is? He can only take advantage of him, and he cannot suffer from it, and he wants to get advantage from him, unless the sun rises in the west. I saw him extort with my own eyes, King Zhao, Pingyuan Jun, Xinling Jun, Chun Shenjun, which one is good to get along with? If you don't obediently offer benefits, if you dare to say nothing, you will suffer a big loss. Now, when 500,000 Qin troops enter Lingnan, they will either surrender or die, and the Qin army will not give us any benefits. ”
Borgeya participated in the material cutting ceremony back then, and saw Qin Yiren extort a lot of money, and Zhao Xiaochengwang, Pingyuan Jun, Xinling Jun and Chunshenjun, these high-ranking and powerful people only had to eat in front of him, which made a deep impression on Bogya.
Of course, what he said was reasonable, Qin Yiren could only take advantage of it, not suffer losses, if he suffered a loss, he would have to get a bigger advantage. The Borg Department and the Qin Army are not at the same level at all, so what can you talk to the Qin Army?
If you really want to talk about it, it will inevitably attract the anger of the Qin army, and the Borg Department will be killed and wounded.
In addition to conquering Lingnan, the Qin army went south this time, and there was another purpose, that is, to establish authority, and anyone who dared to call for conditions would be slaughtered. Only in this way will the Vietnamese people be afraid and dare not rebel.
His subordinates knew that Bogya had entered the Central Plains, and when they heard this, they all opened their mouths and did not dare to refute it.
"That's it." Borg was immediately clapped.
Once the decision was made, Bogya personally went to see Wang Jian and asked for surrender.
The Borg Department is a large tribe in the land of Baiyue, and its surrender is a weather vane, and Wang Jian accepted the surrender of the Borg Ministry.
As soon as this news spread, there were more Yue tribes who surrendered. Next, the Qin army's march was just a journey, and it almost didn't take a bloody step to Panyu (now Guangzhou).
At this point, the land of Baiyue has been pacified. (To be continued......)
