The Kingdom of Nanyue is a country of great significance in the history of China.

The great man once commented on Zhao Tuo, saying that he was "the first person to go south".

If there was no Zhao Tuo, there would be no Nanyue Kingdom, and there might not be the Lingnan region in the territory of China now.

Perhaps the current Lingnan region will become a country of its own, just like Vietnam and Thailand.

At the time of the Qin and Han dynasties, there were basically no Chinese people in the Lingnan region.

At that time, the people who occupied this place were Baiyue people, and these Baiyue tribes were still in the primitive tribal system, and did not form a unified country.

Sometimes it will be mixed with the war of the Central Plains Dynasty and be a-stirring stick.

Don't underestimate these Baiyue people, after all, they are next door to the Chu State, and they have also learned a lot of primitive bronze smelting techniques from the Central Plains, and have received a lot of ideological education from the "close relatives" of the Wu State and the Yue State.

They are extremely xenophobic to the Chinese people.

And because the Lingnan area was still a primeval rainforest at that time, the climate was hot, and all kinds of poisonous insects emerged in an endless stream.

It was also difficult for the army of the Central Plains to carry out an effective conquest of Lingnan.

It's like the Americans fighting Vietnam, even if your military weapons are more advanced than mine, but I play jungle hide-and-seek with you, you can't conquer or even wipe out the local new forces.

They even had to face their own expeditions, water and soil adaptation, and constant non-combat attrition of miasma and poisons.

So for a long time, the Lingnan area has been a place that Chinese people are not very willing to come to.

It was not until the first emperor of the ages, Qin Shi Huang, unified the six countries, that his eyes were set here, and he sent the general Tu Sui to lead 500,000 troops to the south to conquer Lingnan.

The Baiyue tribes such as Minyue, Xiou, Luoyue, and Nanyue were all hit hard in front of the Qin soldiers who unified the six countries.

However, the southern expedition to the Qin army itself also suffered great losses, after all, it was an expedition, and it was still an expedition to a place with a very harsh climate and environment.

In the twenty-eighth year of Qin Shi Huang, Tu Sui, the commander of the Qin army, was killed in the chaos during the conquest of South Vietnam.

At the same time, in order to solve the supply problem of grain, grass, equipment and other supplies of the Qin army, Qin Shi Huang ordered the digging of the Ling Canal.

In the thirty-third year of Qin Shi Huang, the Ling Canal was dug up.

In the same year, Qin Shi Huang appointed Ren Huan as the main general, and Zhao Tuo continued to attack the Xiou and Luoyue tribes in Guangxi, and it was also in this year that the Southern Expeditionary Army completed the great cause of pacifying Lingnan, and the entire Lingnan was thus included in the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

At that time, the Qin army could be said to be the "Zenith Star Man" in the true sense, and no one was invincible.

Then, Qin Shi Huang set up three counties in the Lingnan region: Guilin County, Xiang County, and Nanhai County, all of which were controlled by the Nanhai Governor.

According to the script, the next step should be that Lingnan was ruled by the Qin State, changed customs, turned razed into Xia, and became an inseparable part of the Qin State.

But history has no script.

Later history, as everyone knows, Qin II ascended the throne, was mediocre, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms revived.

Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it.

Ren Huan, who was the lieutenant of Nanhai County at the time, saw that the Qin court was unable to look south, and he also had the ambition of secession.

It's just that in the second year of Qin II, the Qin State has not completely died, and Ren Huan fell ill first.

Before his death, he summoned Zhao Tuo and asked him to build a country based on the benefits of Nanhai County's mountains and seas, and immediately issued a document of appointment to Zhao Tuo, asking him to act as the governor of Nanhai County.

So the power of the southern expedition to the Qin army was handed over to Zhao Tuo.

He did what Ren Huan said, and the first thing he did after taking power was to block all the communication arteries leading to the Qin State and cut off all ties with the Lingbei region.

After closing the door, he began to rectify the interior of Lingnan again, and gradually used various reasons to kill the officials sent by the center and replace them with his own henchmen.

At this time, the Central Plains was in complete chaos, and the princes from all over the country were fighting each other.

The state of Qin was completely gone, opening the era of Chu and Han hegemony.

But Zhao Tuo was not idle.

After the Qin State was gone, some Yue tribes in Guilin County and Xiang County also became independent and were no longer subject to the control of Nanhai Wei.

"Sun and Moon"

Zhao Tuo was also busy conquering these unsubordinate tribes to maintain and consolidate the rule of Lingnan by the Qin army, a group of "outsiders".

By the time Liu Bang ruled the world, Zhao Tuo was almost Lingnan together.

He implemented the policy of "harmony with Baiyue" in Lingnan, allowing a large number of Qin troops to marry the local Baiyue tribe, marry the daughter of the head, and assimilate the local Baiyue people.

At the same time, he also introduced the farming technology and advanced culture of the Central Plains, so that the Lingnan region quickly entered the era of agricultural civilization from the clan society of Baiyue conquest and slash-and-burn farming.

When the Qin army first occupied Lingnan, Lingnan was still a barbaric and backward land with only a bunch of primitive tribes, no writing among each other, no cultural inheritance, no shame, and even no clothes, only fur.

At the time of Zhao Tuo's death, Nanyue was no different from the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains in terms of culture, people's lives, social appearance and customs.

It has become a country that speaks Chinese, writes seal scripts, learns Chinese culture, and understands Chinese etiquette!

Since Zhao Tuo, in the following two thousand years, the Lingnan region has become an inseparable part of China!

From the perspective of the nation and the country, what Zhao Tuo has done is undoubtedly a meritorious achievement!

In a sense, his exploits can be side by side with the founding masters of the great unified empire of the past dynasties.

And from beginning to end, Zhao Tuo was concerned about his homeland, and always thought that he was a Zhuxia person, and what he implemented in South Vietnam was to unify the country with Xia, implement the Chinese system, and turn razor into Xia!

As a result, in modern Vietnam, there are many people who are shameless and cheeky to climb relatives, regard Zhao Tuo and the Nanyue country he founded as their ancestors, and unashamedly regard Nanyue as the history of their own country.

Emperor Wu of Nanyue appeared in the Vietnamese history books.

It's really making people laugh out of their big teeth.

If Zhao Tuo is resurrected and sees that he was recognized as an ancestor by the descendants of the primitive tribe who were driven to the jungle further south, I don't know how he would feel.

I'm afraid it will be even more angry than seeing the death of the fifth king of Nanyue and the elimination of the Han Dynasty.

After all, although Nanyue was destroyed by the Han Dynasty, at least everyone is a part of Zhuxia, which is not a shame.

Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, he didn't experience it, and even participated in it back then.

But he is a Qin Dynasty Nanhai Longchuan Order, Han Taizu personally named the king of Nanyue, and Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty personally recognized the "Southern Elder"!

Although when he was alive, he didn't hang the Han Dynasty much, and he used the system of the Son of Heaven behind closed doors in his own house to enjoy the etiquette and music of the Son of Heaven, and was called the emperor several times.

But after his death, he was regarded as an ancestor by the descendants of the Baiyue Yi tribe and the smallest country?

How can Zhao Tuo, who has been nurtured by the Spring and Autumn Period "respecting the king and worshipping the king", and who has been a general by Qin Shihuang's side and holding the household registration book of Qin, accept it?

The widows came to Lingnan to conquer the local barbarian tribes! It's here to bathe the barbarians!

I'm not here to get rid of the summer!

The widow is Emperor Wu of Zhuxia Nanyue!

Not Emperor Vu of Vietnam!
