Chapter Ninety-Four: The First Emperor's Plan
Looking at the old man's appearance, Qin Feng regretted it again, and really wanted to slap himself twice.
Seeing that Qin Feng was still standing, the old man asked him to sit down again, walked to the side and poured a cup of tea, and gave it to Qin Feng and stepped back.
Qin Feng didn't speak, he was afraid that the situation just now would happen again. Now I haven't figured out the situation, if I say something wrong, I always let the old man kneel, but it will be a long life, so I can only wait for the following.
After a while, the old man spoke:
"The Venerable Lord should already know his background, right?"
Qin Feng nodded, indicating that he knew the truth. The old man seemed to be back to his original state, and walked to the window, as if he was reminiscing, as if he was remembering. Slowly told a piece of unknown past events, a piece of the truth of historical annihilation, Qin Feng was dumbfounded when he heard it.
It turns out that this is the way it happened.
His ancestor Zhao Tuo was given the escort of the sword at the age of 19 to accompany Qin Shi Huang on patrol, and his glory was unparalleled for a while, and he was regarded as the second of Meng Tian. He is also a confidant of the First Emperor, and accompanies the Holy Driver at any time. So later, Zhao Tuo and Meng Tian were sent to one south and one north respectively to guard Huaxia and protect Shenzhou.
Qin Shi Huang was eloquent and strategic, and he swallowed the wilderness. After the unification of the Six Kingdoms, he began to pacify the Baiyue Land in the Lingnan region. In 219 BC, Qin Shi Huang 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 chief general, and together with Zhao Tuo, he led the army to complete the great cause of pacifying Lingnan in 214 BC after four years of hard work.
This is one of the greatest achievements of Qin Shi Huang, who is not only supreme in martial arts, but also has an unparalleled vision. He knew that conquest by force was not the ultimate means to solve the problem, and it could not last long. So soon the First Emperor began a plan, a plan that only a few people knew. This plan has two purposes, but later generations only know one.
It turned out that the First Emperor ordered the establishment of three counties in Lingnan, namely Nanhai County, Guilin County, and Xiang County, and Ren Huan was appointed as the lieutenant of Nanhai County. Nanhai County consists of Boluo, Longchuan, Panyu and Jieyang counties, and the geographical location and military value of Longchuan are extremely important, so Zhao Tuo was appointed as the commander of Longchuan County. After Zhao Tuo took office in Longchuan, he adopted the ethnic policy of "harmonizing with Baiyue", and wrote to Qin Shi Huang to request that 500,000 residents be relocated from the Central Plains to South Vietnam to strengthen the ethnic integration of Han and Vietnam.
In fact, those 500,000 people are all old Qin people, the most determined old Qin people, and they are the direct descendants of the first emperor. And it wasn't Zhao Tuo who wrote the book, Zhao Tuo just obeyed the emperor's orders, and the first emperor's plan began. Of course, few people have known the Dao, even Zhao Gao and Li Si don't know the Dao.
But in the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang, that is, in 210 BC. Zhao Tuo and the others received a message that made them panic, and this news almost made them collapse. Because they received the bomb of the emperor's death, the first emperor had already become the god in their hearts, the object of their allegiance, the existence of worship. How can you die like this?
For a time, the 500,000 people guarding the South Vietnamese town panicked and became chaotic. In the end, some people even united to go north to find out, or to be buried with His Majesty the Emperor. Zhao Tuo is also one of such a group of people, and even he is the craziest.
However, when they have everything ready. He received a decree, written by the First Emperor himself.
There is only one sentence in it: everything is still the same.
In this way, he watched as the emperor's majesty personally worked hard to defeat the country in the hands of a group of villains. It was even more injustice to His Majesty the First Emperor, and he almost went north angrily because of this, but every time he thought of it, it was the Holy Decree of only four words under His Majesty the Emperor. So, he could only act according to the old plan, and he didn't know if the first emperor of the Dao Dao was really dead, although he didn't believe it.
Afterward.
In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led a great peasant uprising. Rebelling against the brutal rule of Qin II, the princes and heroes of the Quartet fought with each other, and the Central Plains fell into war. At this time, Zhao Tuo, who had hundreds of thousands of troops, and Mao Dun in the north were called "strong in the north and strong in the south". Zhao Tuo planned the first emperor's plan according to the plan "If Qin has no way, the world will suffer...... Panyu, negative mountain danger, blocking the South China Sea, thousands of miles from east to west, quite complemented by the Chinese, this is also the lord of a state, can establish a country", sealed the customs, cut off the road, built three lines of defense, gathered troops for self-defense.
The "Panyu bears the mountain danger and obstructs the South China Sea" in the plan mainly refers to the five mountains lying on the borders of Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi in later generations. The so-called five ridges are the Da Yu Ridge at the junction of Dayu County in Jiangxi Province and Nanxiong County in Guangdong, the Qitianling Ridge at the junction of Chenzhou in Hunan and Guangdong, the Dupang Ridge at the junction of Lanshan County in Hunan and the northwest of Guangdong, the Mengzhu Ridge at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi, and the Yuecheng Ridge at the junction of Xing'an County in Guangxi and Hunan.
"The north of Wuling is on the ground, and the south of Kyushu is full of water and floating in the sky." Leaning on the mountains and facing the sea, it is the mountainous terrain of Guangzhou. North control Wuling, near the three rivers; It is the offensive and defensive key point of Guangzhou. Zhao Tuo had insight into the defense essentials of Guangzhou, and in order to prevent the war in the north from extending to the south and strengthen the control of Lingnan, he strictly sealed the four passes of Wuling - Hengpu Pass, Yupu Pass, Yangshan Pass, and Huangxi Pass; cut off 4 new roads - Jiangxi into Guangdong Nanxiong 1st Road, Hunan into Guangdong Lianzhou 1st Road, Hunan into Guangxi Hexian 1st Road and Hunan into Guangxi Jingjiang 1st Road; Three lines of defense were constructed to defend Panyu: Lechang - Renhua - Nanxiong defense line, Yingde - Qingyuan defense line, Shimen fortress defense line. The northern army wanted to attack South Vietnam beyond the five ridges, and it would not be possible to reach Panyu without breaking through these three lines of defense.
In 208 B.C., Zhao Tuo sealed the customs and cut off the road; Three years later, in 205 BC, Guilin and Xiangjun were annexed, thus unifying the Lingnan region; In 204 B.C., the state of Nanyue was formally established, and the capital was Panyu. This is the first capital city in Lingnan.
The territory of Nanyue is equivalent to the jurisdiction of the three counties of Qin, with Changsha, Minyue and Yelang bordering on the north, east and west respectively, and bordering the South China Sea in the east and south, with a vast area of "more than 10,000 miles from east to west". It is roughly connected to Quanzhou in the east, Jiangxi and Hunan in the north by Wuling, northwest to the Nanbeipan River in the northwest of Guangxi, and southwest to the central and northern regions of present-day Vietnam.
how to exercise effective control and de facto rule over the vast territory of the South Vietnamese State; It is the key issue in front of Zhao Tuo, and in this regard, Zhao Tuo is original and successful.
Politically, the parallel system of counties and states was implemented, following the system of the Han Dynasty, and the system of counties and counties was parallel, and the system of central officials and local officials was implemented to ensure effective political control and actual rule.
Militarily, a system of generals, general leftists, and captains was established, which were divided into infantry, boats, and cavalry, and exercised effective command and control over the army that was said to have "more than one million troops with armor."
Economically, the use of iron farming tools and ploughing cattle has been promoted, the previous farming methods of "slash-and-burn" and "fire-based farming" have been changed, and a large number of rice, fruits, animal husbandry, fishery, pottery, textiles, and shipbuilding have been developed, as well as transportation and commercial foreign trade, thus promoting the development of production and social progress, and improving the people's living standards day by day.
Culturally, the first is the use of Chinese characters. The Baiyue nation is a nation that can sing and dance, and there are Yue dance and Han dance. There are also bells, brass musical instruments, various decorative paintings, murals, etc.
In terms of ethnic policy, Zhao Tuo implemented the policy of "harmony and harmony with the hundred Yue", advocating intermarriage between Han and Vietnam, respecting the customs of the Yue people, and promoting integration and social harmony.
Everything was planned, and he established a kingdom. However, he has always thought that he is an old Qin man and a courtier of the First Emperor. Of course, he is not the only one who thinks this way, but all the 500,000 people.
Later, he received a secret edict, which turned out to be a letter from the First Emperor, which gave him hope. He firmly believed that His Majesty the Emperor did not die, although he did not understand, but he firmly believed that everything was in the hands of that great man.
But there were still only a few words on the secret decree.
The secret decree says: It's business as usual, remember.
