Chapter 70 Searching for the End of the Qin Volume

Xiang Yu wanted to fight, but the Qin army should not fight, but blocked his way forward. However, there was constant fighting in his rear, and there were frequent reports of critical military situations.

It was not that the Chu army could not fight, but the Qin army, with its overwhelming strength and internal cooperation, the Chu army was defeated and retreated, and soon lost a lot of land.

Xiang Yu was also in a hurry, but Meng Tian was as stable as Mount Tai.

Dissent also began to emerge within the Chu army. Xiang Yu can win over many people through his personal charm, but he can't be everyone.

People are selfish, no one does not cherish their own lives, and Huiji has become a lonely city, and seeing that there is no hope of success in the rebellion, pessimism spreads.

The meeting at night seemed to be extremely silent, and suddenly there was a sad singing, it was Chu Ge.

Xiang Shaolong asked the soldiers of Daqin to learn to sing Chu songs, and at this time they sang in unison, and the songs came into the city from all directions, and under the leadership of the spies, the soldiers in the city also sang along, and despair filled the entire city.

Xiang Yu listened to this embattlement, and there was no longer fighting spirit in his heart, so many Jiangdong sons and daughters supported him to rebel, but he was killed in such a short time and lost his armor, and in the end, he was really wiped out. I am ashamed of my ancestors, and I am ashamed of these soldiers.

Xiang Yu put on his helmet and armor, picked up a spear, opened the city gate, and rushed out with a strong bow and crossbow.

If you are trapped, you will die, but you will never surrender. Xiang Yu would rather die standing than kneel to live, he is a natural king, defeat is defeat, only death, but he also does not want to drag the soldiers to accompany the funeral, hoping to end the war with his own death.

Xiang Yu rushed to the front of the battle alone, and shouted: "Please come out and meet the King of Jin!" ”

Xiang Shaolong had to be reported by the soldiers, and when he came out, it was less than half a year, and the peerless overlord of Western Chu had become vicissitudes and malaise.

Xiang Yu is only in his early twenties, but he looks as old as he is forty or fifty years old, with a gray face, deep-set eye sockets, and a messy beard, and he has not been tidied up.

Xiang Yu said to Xiang Shaolong: "King Jin, how about exchanging Xiang Yu's death for the lives of my Chu army soldiers today?" ”

Xiang Shaolong had the heart to persuade Xiang Yu to surrender, but he also knew that it was in vain, if he surrendered, would he still be Xiang Yu? He surrendered, how should he be settled? He surrendered, and Xiang Shaolong's own heroic dream was shattered.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Okay, they surrender, I will protect them from death." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Okay, pick up Xiang's good head!" With that, he thrust his spear into his hand, stood beside him, drew his sword, and struck himself with it.

The crockpot did not leave Inoue, the general inevitably died in battle, and Xiang Yu ended his short and brilliant life.

Looking at Xiang Yu who fell under the horse, Xiang Shaolong sighed: "The overlord of Western Chu still hasn't gotten rid of the fate of self-slaughter, and there will never be such a character in the world anymore." Pity! Alas! ”

While accepting the surrender of the rebels, Xiang Shaolong unexpectedly saw two historical celebrities: Zhang Liang and Han Xin.

Zhang Liang is a Korean, his ancestor is the fifth generation, after the country collapsed, he sold his assets, held a huge amount of money, and wanted to find an assassin to avenge him, but he has not succeeded. After meeting Xiang Yu, the two hit it off, and he threw all his property, including himself, into the anti-Qin cause and became a military advisor in the Chu army.

And although Han Xin is a general, his martial arts skills are not high, and he has participated in the martial arts examination of the Qin court, but he can't get the ranking at all. Xiang Yu raised troops and gave him a chance. Xiang Yu's subordinate Zhong Liyi was friends with him, so he recommended him to Xiang Yu, and he became the general of the Chu army.

It's a pity that neither Zhang Liang nor Han Xin expected that this vigorous rebellion lasted less than half a year, and the Qin army reacted quickly and was so strong that it overwhelmed all stratagems, and before their ability could be displayed, the Chu army had already been defeated. In the face of absolute strength, all calculations are in vain. Although Xiang Shaolong promised not to kill them, the rebels could never be appointed again, and they could only be prisoners of war for the rest of their lives.

And Han Xin's encounter gave Xiang Shaolong a wake-up call, he had the idea of establishing a military academy, specializing in training professional officers, so that in the future, people like Han Xin who are not high in martial arts, but have military talent, can have a promotion channel. Of course, martial arts are good, but for a real commander, this is not important, no matter what is professional, it has always been Xiang Shaolong's pursuit.

For the entire Great Qin, the destructive power of this rebellion was very limited, but the land of Wu Yue was extremely badly damaged.

Fusu once again exempted the people from taxation, and at the same time strengthened immigration and further divided the people here. The country has entered a period of peaceful and rapid development.

Xiang Shaolong became the prime minister for the second time, the country was stable and prosperous, and the focus of his work shifted to the shipbuilding industry, focusing on the coastal islands in the east.

After ten years of development, all the islands off the coast of the East have been included in the territory. Great Qin's power extended into the Pacific Ocean, and also accumulated energy for the arrival of the Age of Discovery.

There are no immortal mountains on the eastern islands, only tribes that are still very backward. When they saw the advanced and prosperous Great Qin, they naturally yearned for it, admired civilization, and were no longer willing to continue to be barbarians.

In the tenth year of Qin II (201 BC), Xiang Shaolong stepped down as prime minister again. Xiao He took over the phase at the age of 56.

After 20 years of development, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has also achieved fruitful results.

Commercial glass and cement were made, and smelting technology advanced by leaps and bounds. Tremendous progress has been made in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, which has further stimulated the development of biology and medicine.

Commercial glass was used in doors and windows, and the emergence of optical glass provided an important tool for the development of optics, while the emergence of microscopes opened the door to enter the microscopic field.

Cement, on the other hand, provides a better material for the country's infrastructure.

Xiang Shaolong did not deliberately pursue the appearance of thermal weapons, because the excessive lethality of thermal weapons discouraged him. But Xiang Shaolong also knows that as long as the development of science and technology is reached, these things will naturally appear.

Today's Daqin, both economically and militarily, is the best in the contemporary era. From east to west, from south to north, the territory is vast, ancient and modern, the southeast extends into the Pacific Ocean, the north goes deep into the grassland, and reaches the inaccessible cold land, the west controls the western regions, only the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which has not been set foot in for the time being. Compared to the scarcity of the population, Great Qin was unable to continue to expand.

Schools and hospitals have been built in large numbers, and although the level of education of the people is not as widespread as that of later generations, it has also made great progress. In the future, universal education will remain the top priority of national policy. Throughout the ages, there has never been a country that has run education to run a country, and education is an investment that will make sure that you will not lose money, whether it is the country or the individual.

With the increase in the literate population, Xiang Shaolong launched a newspaper business. However, these newspapers are state-owned and serve as the mouthpieces of the state, and they are not used by people to pinpoint the evils of the times and discuss the government in vain.

Newspapers instilled the concept of the state and the nation in the people, and also formed a complete concept of the Chinese nation, and patriotism also began to take shape.

He designed the national flag and national emblem for the country, and printed these on the standard military uniform of the army, which increased the cohesion of the nation unprecedentedly, and in the future, no matter what danger the nation encountered, it could unite and defend its homeland.

Xiang Shaolong did not dare to spread the idea of democracy, and that would kill him. Moreover, with the quality of the population at this time, if it were really democratic, the world would be in chaos. Every nation has its own unique way of thinking, and democracy is not a panacea.

As a leader, Xiang Shaolong feels that he has done enough, and then his descendants will continue to work. I have kept my wealth and promoted the development of the nation, and I look back at this life and am satisfied.

Fusu is really a good emperor and has great respect for Xiang Shaolong. Xiang Shaolong talked to him a lot about his imagination of the future and his perception of the world, whether he was right or wrong, whether he could understand it or not, he wrote it down first, and then went back and pondered it slowly.

Xiang Shaolong felt that the relationship with Fusu was more harmonious than with the First Emperor. With the full support of the emperor, Xiang Shaolong's reform of the country was carried out smoothly. While suppressing the strong and powerful, suppressing land annexation, and giving priority to the development of agriculture, we did not forget the development of handicraft commerce, and the vast land and abundant resources made the people's lives richer.

After stepping down as prime minister, he was not reluctant to resign as president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, although he has done nothing, but he has always been in the name of the president. He cares about this title very much, and his superstition about science makes him the most reluctant to be this title of scientist. He has also been working hard to improve the status of scientific researchers. Science can change the way of life of human beings, and plays an important role in the development of society and the progress of human beings, which is of great significance.

Xiang Shaolong's wives have passed away one after another, and he has no heirs, so I can't help but say that he still has regrets, especially when he is old, and he feels even stronger. When I was young, I didn't think about it, but when I was named King of Jin, I didn't dare to think about it anymore. Being a prince with a different surname is both glory and shackles.

Xiang Shaolong is not without younger generations to be filial piety in front of him, such as Mrs. Ni's son Zhao Pan, and there are also juniors of the lady's family, everyone is extremely filial to Xiang Shaolong, even if Xiang Shaolong is unwilling to use power to favoritism for them and go through the back door, but in their life and cultivation, they still spare no effort. But these people are not his bloodline after all, there is still a layer of difference in his heart, in the final analysis, Xiang Shaolong is also a layman, and his ideological realm is still far behind.

After Xiang Shaolong celebrated his eightieth birthday, he closed his eyes peacefully.

Fusu held a grand state funeral for him, and the whole country mourned, remembering his contribution to the country, and vying for his legendary life.
