Chapter 492, Nanfu Baiyue
Baiyue, although the rebuilt Baiyue Palace is not as glorious as the palace in the Central Plains, it is already the best house in Baiyue, where most of them are still thatched houses.
Tian Ze was looking at the information that his subordinates were gathering in various places.
"The tribes of Xiou are at war with Cangwu again? Xiou returned defeated? Tian Ze rubbed his eyebrows and looked at the intelligence and said.
Although Yang Yue of the four major tribes of Baiyue is in his hands, in order to reduce their own friction, coupled with the support of the great witch attracted by the exorcist, he, the prince of Baiyue, is once again honored as the king of Baiyue. The title of King Baiyue sounds good, but the other three of the four major tribes, Ouyue, Minyue and Cangwu, all heard it and did not listen to it, and even the leaders of these three tribes regarded themselves as kings.
"The battle between Xiou and Cangwu has nothing to do with Ouyue." The exorcist said lightly.
"I know that the King of Ouyue is also a waste, let his younger brother split Ouyue into two tribes, and Xiou is now being forced to a dead end by the King of Ouyue, otherwise he would not want to start a war with Cangwu and snatch Cangwu's territory." Tian Ze shook his head and said.
If he can, Tian Ze really doesn't want to take care of these things, but he is the nominal king of Baiyue, and the following tribes must obey his dispatch, if he doesn't manage it, his prestige as the king of Baiyue will continue to decrease, and when the Qin army arrives, let alone be the leading party, he will even be regarded as a traitor by Baiyue.
"And what are you going to do?" The exorcist asked.
"Cut off the trade between Ouyue and Cangwu, and restrict the flow of goods sent from the Central Plains into the two tribes." Tian Ze said coldly.
The exorcist was stunned for a moment, then said
"Isn't that good, if the trade is cut off, the small tribes under the two tribes may be angry and disgusted with us even more, right?"
"It's Xiou and King Cangwu who caused this result, what does it matter to us? The resentment of these small tribes will only be against these two people, as for Dongou can only blame him for being unlucky, who let him have such a good brother. Tianze said.
In these years, Fusu governed the Chu State, and in order to help Tianze further control Baiyue, he opened the trade between Chu and Baiyue. In the face of the influx of grain, cloth, herbs and other things, at the same time, Baiyue's specialties were all taken away by the caravan of Chu State, so that the poor Baiyue appeared some prosperity. Whether it is the four major tribes or the small tribes below, as long as they open trade, they can no longer do without this trade, and it can be said that all the economies of Baiyue rely on this trade.
If the Qin State cut off trade with Baiyue, Baiyue would not even last a year, and some small tribes would rebel.
In order to raise Tianze to majesty, Fusu opened a trade channel for Yangyue controlled by Tianze, and the materials of the Central Plains first entered Yangyue's territory, and then went to other tribes through turnover.
The exorcist didn't understand what Tian Ze said, but he remembered another thing
"The king of Minyue and the king of Ouyue sent envoys to the state of Chu, preparing to consult with the prince Fusu to discuss the opening of a trade channel for them."
"These two are really thieves, this is the fourth time they have been there this year, right?" Tianze said.
"Yes."
"Is there any news from the Qin State?" Tian Ze asked with a frown.
"It's been four years since the last time Qin revealed to us that it was preparing to send troops. In the past four years, the Qin State has been recuperating and recuperating, and there is no intention of preparing to send troops to Baiyue. The exorcist said
"Our people found a lot of Baiyue people in Dongyue, and they all gathered in Dongyue and didn't know what to do." The exorcist said.
"Leave them alone." Tianze said. The Hundred Schools are now subordinate to the Qin State, and the Hundred Schools are allies to Tianze.
"This month's intelligence has been sent to Xianyang, and it should have arrived now." The exorcist said.
Tian Ze nodded and did not speak.
Xianyang, Qin Palace.
Zhao Gao was reading the Baiyue information sent back by Tianze to Ziyou and Ying Zheng, and after reading it, Zhao Gao sent the information to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng said after glancing at the information
"Teacher, in four years, the Qin State has almost recovered, and the army trained in the Chu State has also adapted to the climate and terrain of Baiyue, and there is no problem in fighting mountain warfare. The miasma repellent pills and insect repellent powder developed by the doctor have been equipped. Baijia has also arrived in Dongyue, and the widow feels that he can do something to Baiyue. ”
"It's indeed a suitable opportunity, I don't know who the king is going to let be in charge?" Ziyou asked.
"Wang Qian. There is no urgency to attack Baiyue, and there are more mountains in Baiyue, Wang Jian is suitable for attacking Baiyue. The widow is ready to let Wang Jian be the commander, divided into three routes, the first route is led by Tu Sui, the second way is Zhao Tuo, and the third way is Ren Huan. Attack Cangwu, Ouyue and Minyue from three roads respectively, and the battle will be decided. Ying Zheng said.
Ziyou nodded, the three people of Yingzheng's generals are all Yingzheng's guards, and in history, the three of them led troops to attack Baiyue, except for Tu Sui, who was a little miserable, the others were good.
"Let me and Flame Spirit Ji set off with the army, with her, the Holy Maiden of Baiyue, some tribes of Baiyue will surrender." Ziyou said.
"Well, it's natural to have a teacher sitting in the formation. The affairs of the Western Regions are few people think that they can go further, let the hundred schools do it. Ying Zheng said.
Because the Qin State was recuperating, the hundred families who were originally preparing to leave the Western Regions also stopped and prepared to wait for the Qin State. Without the support of the Qin army, it would have been too difficult for them to propagate their doctrine in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, so as to control these countries and start experiments.
"Okay, the current national strength of the Qin State is indeed okay." Ziyou said.
Four years ago, the population of Qin was only more than 20 million, but now the population of Qin has exceeded 35 million, and it is even increasing rapidly, especially Yingchuan County, Dong County and Jiaozhou County, which have a trend of small-scale population explosion.
In this era, population means productivity, and it also means everything.
"Okay, tomorrow the court will issue an order for the widow to prepare to recruit an army of 500,000 and set off from Changsha to attack Baiyue." Ying Zheng said.
"I'll notify Tianze and the others when I go back, so that they can get ready." Ziyou said.
"Okay."
The next day, Ying Zheng announced the decision to go south to Baiyue in the court, because the four years of recuperation made Qin's treasury very sufficient, so no one objected, and they all supported Ying Zheng's decision.
Immediately Ying Zheng issued an edict to attack Baiyue, Wang Jian was the commander, Tu Sui, Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo each led a large army from Changsha to attack Baiyue in three ways. Everyone knows about Ying Zheng's appointment, Tu Sui, Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo, who are Ying Zheng's personal guards, suddenly led troops, which is obviously Ying Zheng's people who are supporting him, but the officials in the court have no opinion on this, after all, this is a normal thing.
Now Feng Quji is in charge of the Yulin Army, Meng Wu is recuperating at home because of the injuries and illnesses left in his early years, Meng Tian is in charge of the grassland affairs in Yunzhong County, and Li Li is in charge of the military of the Western Regions in Beidi County, and the people who are 100% loyal to Yingzheng are already outside, and within the Qin State, Li Xin, Wang Jian and Li Mu are left to control the Qin Army.
And Tu Sui, Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo are even more grateful to Ying Zheng, the three of them are internal guards, although their identities are prominent, but they have no opportunity to make contributions, and Ying Zheng's move is to give them the opportunity, they are naturally grateful to Dade.
After Ying Zheng's edict was issued, Wang Jian led the three of them to lead the army in the direction of Changsha.
Inside the King's Mansion.
"You're all going to follow?" Ziyou looked at Concubine Yan and Shao Siming and asked.
"Of course, we haven't been to Baiyue yet." Concubine Yan said.
"Well, but we're going to East Vietnam first." Ziyou said.
"Why?" Concubine Yan asked curiously.
"Wang Jian led a large army to attack Baiyue in order to overwhelm Baiyue by force and let them know the force of Qin. As the ancestral land of Baiyue, many Baiyue people regard it as the origin of Baiyue in their hearts, and we go to Dongyue to let the people of Dongyue promote the identity of Flame Lingji and Baiyue Holy Maiden, and conquer Baiyue from the point of view. Ziyou said.
"In that case, let's go." Concubine Yan said.
Ziyou nodded, and the four of them set off with the army, and after a month's trek, the army came to Changsha, where Wang Jian began to attack Baiyue after assigning the tasks to the three-way army, while Ziyou took Concubine Yan, Shao Siming and Flame Lingji to Dongyue.
Ten days later, the four of them came to Dongyue.
In the palace of the king of Dongyue, Ziyou met several people from the hundred families, the Zhu family of the peasant family, the Taoist Qingfengzi, and the Han Shen of the Mo family.
Relying on the strength of the hundred schools, the three of them contacted the Yue people left behind by the original Yue country in Dongyue, and with the support of these people, the three successfully mastered Dongyue.
"Meet Mr. Ziyou." The three of them saluted in front of the sub-parade.
"I've seen you. What is the situation of Baiyue now? Ziyou asked.
"The army attacked Baiyue, and the various tribes of Baiyue put aside their prejudices and prepared to be unanimous with the outside world, and each tribe also sent their own hole cards to form an army of strange people, some of these people are good at controlling poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, some are controlling water and fire, and some can also drive wild beasts, in short, the strength of this team should not be underestimated. In addition, Baiyue has deployed troops to guard some dangerous mountain areas.
It seems that Baiyue's resistance is very strong, but they are actually still working on their own, and they have not elected a general who can convince the people to command the entire Baiyue army. The Zhu family said.
"There is no unified command?" Ziyou asked in surprise.
"That's right, the four kings of Baiyue were afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to collect the other party's army, or send the other party's army to fight to the death with the Qin army, and under all kinds of stalemate, the four kings finally formed a council to make decisions together." The Zhu family said.
"I see." Ziyou nodded and said.
"This is a problem that Baiyue has always had, when South Korea and Chu attacked Baiyue, it was precisely because of this that Baiyue would lose completely." Flame Spirit Ji said.
"The problem of the army was solved by Wang Qian, how are you preparing for the propaganda?" Ziyou asked.
"It's ready. We have already publicized the matter of Mrs. Flame Lingji in Dongyue, and Dongyue has begun to promote Madame as the only Mother of Baiyue, and this news can be spread at any time. Qingfengzi said.
"Okay, let's do it." Ziyou said.
Under the impetus of Dongyue, all kinds of legendary things about Flame Spirit Ji have appeared all over Baiyue, if it is normal, Baiyue people don't care, but as more and more Baiyue people see the rolling Flame Spirit Ji after they begin to surrender.
Because after these Baiyue people saw Flame Spirit Ji, a kind of closeness and respect that originated from blood made them feel awe. Flame Lingji did not keep any selfishness, and revealed the Chiyou pattern in public in Dongyue, and after seeing the Chiyou pattern and the Tianyue Sword obtained from the treasure house of the Qin State, the entire Dongyue worshiped the Flame Lingji even more.
The matter of Flame Lingji was publicized to the entire Baiyue in a very short period of time, and because of the worship of the ancestor Chiyou, many Baiyue people even went to Dongyue to see Flame Lingji. After these people saw Flame Spirit Ji, the suspicion in their hearts suddenly disappeared, and they began to promote Flame Spirit Ji one after another.
On the head of a farmland in East Vietnam.
Ziyou, Concubine Yan, and Shao Siming looked at the Baiyue people who were holding sacrifices in the temple in front of them.
"Do these Baiyue people believe it so easily?" Concubine Yan was still a little skeptical that Flame Spirit Ji had gained a large number of believers in a short period of time.
"Do you really think that Flame Spirit Ji relied on the Chiyou bloodline to make them surrender?" Ziyou asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it?" Concubine Yan asked in surprise.
The young priest on the side also looked at Ziyou.
"Of course not, these are the ones that really make the Baiyue people surrender to Flame Spirit Ji." Ziyou pointed to the contiguous farmland.
The rice grown in these farmlands is the latest research of the Qin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and the yield is extremely high, and the vitality is extremely strong, even in a barren land like Baiyue.
Concubine Yan and Shao Siming looked at the ears of wheat swaying in the wind and were a little stunned, since they were children, they had no worries about food and clothing, and it was difficult for the two of them to realize what these rice flowers meant to the Baiyue people.
"Before Baijia came to Dongyue three years ago, do you know what kind of life the Dongyue people lived?" Ziyou looked at these farmlands and said, "At that time, there were a lot of farmland in Dongyue, but the grain production was very small, and being able to eat a bowl of rice a day was already the best harvest, and people starved to death every day. Wild fruits, wild vegetables, this is what they are hungry for.
But three years ago, the people of the hundred families arrived, especially the farmers led by the Zhu family, they brought the advanced technology of the Central Plains, helped the Dongyue people to reclaim farmland, introduced iron farm tools, and high-yield crops, and in three years, the originally poor Dongyue people could barely eat two meals a day.
Mintian lives on food, and it is more important than anything else to be able to keep people full. Otherwise, how could outsiders like the Zhu family be able to master Dongyue in three years, and they are still highly sought after by Dongyue people.
And the other Baiyue people who came to Dongyue saw the scene of Dongyue's prosperity now, and they subconsciously thought that this was brought to them by Flame Lingji, so they would respect Flame Lingji, and they also wanted to eat well, no longer be harmed by poisonous insects and beasts, and would not die of disease because of a little disease. ”
