Chapter 94 The First Emperor's Plan
Looking at the old man's appearance, Qin Feng regretted again and really wanted to slap himself.
When the old man saw that Qin Feng was still standing, he asked him to sit down, walked aside and poured a cup of tea for Qin Feng to retreat.
Qin Feng was not talking. He was afraid that the situation just happened again. Now I haven't figured out the situation. If I say something wrong, I always let the old man kneel down, but I will have to live a long life, so I can only wait for the following.
A little time, the old man opened his mouth:
"The Lord should have known his background, right?"
Qin Feng nodded to show that he knew. The old man seemed to be back to his original state and walked to the window, as if he was remembering and remembering. Qin Feng was stunned when he slowly told an unknown story about the past and the annihilation of history.
So this is what happened.
At the age of 19, his ancestor Zhao Tuo was given the protective sword to patrol with the First Emperor of Qin. He was regarded as the second Meng Tian. He is also the confidant of the first emperor and accompanies the holy driver at any time. Therefore, Zhao Tuo and Meng Tian were sent to guard China in the south and north respectively to protect China.
The First Emperor of Qin was majestic and devoured the eight wildernesses. After the unification of the six countries, they began to pacify the Baiyue land in the Lingnan region. In 219 BC, the First Emperor of Qin sent Tu Sui as the main general and Zhao Tuo as the deputy general to lead a 500,000 army to pacate Lingnan. Tu Sui was killed by the locals for killing innocent people, which aroused the tenacious resistance of the local people. Qin Shihuang reappointed Ren Gao as the main general and led the army together with Zhao Tuo. After four years of hard work, he completed the great cause of calming down Lingnan in 214 BC.
This is one of the greatest achievements of the First Emperor of Qin. The First Emperor is not only supreme in martial arts, but also beyond his vision. He knew that military conquest was not the ultimate solution to the problem, nor could it last long. So soon the 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 Nanhai County, Guilin County and Xiang County in Lingnan, and Ren Hao was appointed as Nanhai County Lieutenant. Nanhai County has four counties: Boluo, Longchuan, Panyu and Jieyang. Longchuan's geographical location and military value are extremely important, so Zhao Tuo was appointed as the county magistrate of Longchuan. After Zhao Tuo took office in Longchuan, he adopted the national policy of "harmony with Baiyue" and wrote to the First Emperor of Qin to move 500,000 residents from the Central Plains to South Vietnam to strengthen the ethnic integration of Hanyue.
In fact, those 500,000 people are the old Qin people, and the most determined old Qin people are the direct children of the First Emperor. And it was not written by Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo just obeyed the emperor's orders, and the first emperor's plan began. Of course, few people have known, not even Zhao Gao and Li Si.
But the 37th year of the First Emperor of Qin, that is, 210 BC. Zhao Tuo and others received a message that made them panic, which almost broke down. Because they received the bomb of the death of the emperor. At that time, the first emperor had become the god in their hearts, the object of their loyalty and the existence of worship. How can you die like this?
For a while, the 500,000 people guarded by South Vietnam panicked and became chaotic. Finally, some people even united to go north to find out that His Majesty would be buried with the emperor. Zhao Tuo is also one of such a group of people, and he is even the craziest.
However, when they are ready for everything. He received a decree, which was written by the first emperor himself.
There is only one sentence in it: everything is still the same.
In this way, he watched the country that was painstakingly defeated by the emperor himself and was defeated by a group of villains. What's more, His Majesty the First Emperor suffered injustice. He almost went north angrily because of this, but every time he thought of the emperor's imperial edict with only four words. Therefore, he could only follow the plan, and he didn't know whether the First Emperor was really dead, although he didn't believe it.
Later.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led the peasant uprising. Resisting the brutal rule of Qin II, the princes and heroes of the four parties competed with each other, and the Central Plains fell into war. At this time, Zhao Tuo, who had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and Mao Dun in the north were called "North Strong and South Power". Zhao Tuo followed the plan for the first emperor's last-of-life instructions that "if Qin has no way, the world will suffer... Panyu, bear mountains and dangers, block the South China Sea, thousands of miles from east and west, and there are quite a lot of Chinese people to complement each other. This is also the lord of a state and can establish a country."
The "Panyu bears mountain danger and blocks the South China Sea" mentioned in the plan mainly refers to the five mountains lying on the borders of Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi. The so-called Wuling is the Dayuling on the border between Dayu County in Jiangxi and Nanxiong County in Guangdong, Qitianling at the border between Chenzhou and Guangdong in Hunan, Dubangling at the border between Lanshan County in Hunan and northwest Guangdong, Mengzhuling at the border between Xianggui, and Yuechengling at the border between Xing'an County and Hunan in Guangxi.
"The peaks from the north of Wuling are on the ground, and the water floats in the south of Kyushu." Relying on the mountains and the sea, it is the mountain and river terrain of Guangzhou. Five mountains are controlled in the north, close to the three rivers; it is an important offensive and defensive position in Guangzhou. Zhao Tuo was well aware of the defense essentials of Guangzhou. In order to prevent the war in the north from extending to the south, he strengthened the control of Lingnan, and strictly sealed the four gates of the five ridges - Hengpu Pass, Yipu Pass, Yangshan Pass and Huangxi Pass; four new roads were cut off - Jiangxi to Nanxiong Road, Guangdong, Hunan to Lianzhou Road to Guangdong, Hunan to He County, Guangxi and Hunan to Jing, Guangxi. Jiangyi Road; built three defense lines to defend Panyu: Lechang, Renhua, Nanxiong defense line, Yingde, Qingyuan defense line, and Shimen fortress defense line. The northern soldiers will attack South Vietnam beyond the five mountains. If they don't break these three lines of defense, they can't reach Panyu.
In 208 BC, Zhao Tuo sealed the customs and died; three years later, in 205 BC, he annexed Guilin and Xiang County, thus unifying the Lingnan region; in 204 BC, the state of Nanyue was officially established, and the capital was Panyu. This is the first capital of Lingnan.
The territory of South Vietnam is equivalent to the jurisdiction of the three counties set by Qin. It borders Changsha, Minyue and Yelang in the north, east and west respectively, and is bordered by the South China Sea and the vast area of "thousands of miles from east to west". It is generally connected to Quanzhou in the east, Wuling and Jiangxi and Hunan in the north, the north and south of the Panjiang River in the northwest of Guangxi, and the north-west to the north-central part of present-day Vietnam.
How to effectively control and actually rule the vast area of South Vietnam is the key issue before Zhao Tuo. In this regard, Zhao Tuo is original and successful.
In politics, the county parallel system is implemented, imitating the Han Dynasty system, the county system and the feudal system, and the central official system and the local official system are implemented to ensure effective political control and actual rule.
Military, a system of generals, left generals and colonels is established, which are divided into infantry, boats and cavalry to effectively command and control the army known as "with more than one million armor".
Economically, promote the use of iron agricultural tools and cattle, change the previous "slash-and-burn farming" and "fire farming" farming methods, develop a large number of rice, fruits and animal husbandry, fisheries, ceramics, textiles, shipbuilding, and develop transportation and commercial foreign trade, promoting production development and social progress, people's livelihood Life is improving day by day.
In culture, the first thing is the use of Chinese characters. Baiyue is a nation that can sing and dance well, including Yue dance and Chinese dance. There are also bells, bronze instruments and various decorative paintings, murals, etc.
In terms of ethnic policy, Zhao Tuo implemented the policy of "harmony with Baiyue", advocated Han-Vietnam marriage, respected Vietnamese customs, and promoted integration and harmonious social development.
Everything is planned, and he established the country. However, he always thought that he was a native of the Old Qin Dynasty and a minister of the First Emperor. Of course, he is not the only one who thinks so, and so are all the 500,000 people.
Later, he received another secret decree, which turned out to be a handwritten letter from the First Emperor, which gave him hope. He firmly believed that His Majesty was not dead. Although he did not understand, he firmly believed that everything was in the hands of the great man.
But there are still only a few words on the secret decree.
The secret edict says: keep everything in mind.
