Chapter 95 This is the old Qin people
Later, the Han Dynasty established the country.
After years of war, Liu Bang established the Western Han regime and pacifed the rest of the military forces in the Central Plains, including Xiang Yu. At this time, the Central Plains had been in chaos for many years, and the people lived in hardship, so Liu Bang decided not to use military annihilation to deal with South Vietnam.
In 196 BC, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, sent doctor Lu Jia to South Vietnam to persuade Zhao Tuo to return to Han. Under the persuasion of Lu Jia, Zhao Tuo accepted the seal of the king of South Vietnam given by Han Gaozu and submitted to the Han Dynasty, making South Vietnam a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. After that, the South Vietnamese and the Han Dynasty sent envoys to each other and communicate with each other. Liu Bang successfully made Zhao Tuo obedient through peaceful means and did not become a hostile force in the south of the Han Dynasty.
After the death of Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Queen Lu came to the court and began to have a bad relationship with Zhao Tuo. She issued a ban on the sale of iron and other items to South Vietnam in areas bordering South Vietnam. Zhao Tuo thought that Queen Lv might annex him through Changsha (another vassal state of the Han Dynasty, located in the northern part of South Vietnam and now in Hunan Province), so Zhao Tuo announced his separation from the Han Dynasty, called himself "South Vietnam Wudi", sent troops to attack Changsha, and withdrew after defeating several counties on the border of Changsha.
Queen Lv immediately sent General Longluhou and Zhou Zao to attack Zhao Tuo, but because the soldiers in the Central Plains did not adapt to the hot and humid climate around South Vietnam, they fell ill one after another and did not even cross Nanling. A year later, Queen Lu died and the army of the Han Dynasty stopped attacking.
At this time, Zhao Tuo, with his intelligence and the army of 500,000 old Qin people, raised his power in the South Vietnam area, and through financial bribery, made Minyue, Western Ou and Luo Yue belong to South Vietnam one after another, and the territory expanded to the peak. Zhao Tuo also began to issue orders as an emperor and opposed the Han Dynasty.
Of course, although he has been emperor, his heart has never changed his loyalty to the First Emperor of Qin. I don't want to be the emperor this time, but there is nothing I can do. For that plan, in order to live up to the instructions of the first emperor, he decided.
At the beginning, many of the old Qin people were unconvinced and even almost mutiny. At the critical moment, the first emperor had another will, which avoided a mutiny. Since then, the old Qin people have been listening to the leadership of the Zhao family and guarding their faith.
Zhao Tuo has been leading the South Vietnam to fight against the Han Dynasty. Wars of all sizes continued until something happened.
In 179 BC, after the death of Queen Lu, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty Liu Heng ascended the throne. He sent people to repair the cemetery of Zhao Tuo's ancestors, set up tomb guards to sacrifice on time every year, and rewarded Zhao Tuo's cousins with official positions and property. Then, on the recommendation of Prime Minister Chen Ping, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty appointed Lu Jia, who had made many envoys to South Vietnam, as a Taizhong doctor, and ordered him to make another envoy to South Vietnam to persuade Zhao Tuo to return to Han.
After Lu Jia arrived in South Vietnam, he had an interest in Zhao Tuo. At that time, forced by the situation, Zhao Tuo finally agreed to surrender to Han. It was decided to remove the imperial name and return to the Han Dynasty, still known as the "King of South Vietnam". Until the era of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Every year in the Spring and Autumn Period, he sent people to the Chang'an Dynasty to meet the emperor of the Han Dynasty and accepted the orders of the emperor of the Han Dynasty like princes. However, in South Vietnam, Zhao Tuo continues to use the name of emperor.
Zhao Tuo has never sincerely attached it because he believes that the First Emperor will have a new will, but he has waited again and again without responding. With the passage of time, he is old and always wants to return to the loess.
Although there was no news until his death, Zhao Tuo remained loyal to the First Emperor of Qin and did not waver until his death.
Until the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (137 BC), Zhao Tuo died at the age of about 100 and was buried in Panyu. After Zhao Tuo's death, his descendants succeeded to four generations of kings of South Vietnam. Until 111 BC, South Vietnam was destroyed by the Han Dynasty. During this period, the Zhao family has been adhering to the ancestral teachings and their hearts are in the Qin Dynasty.
South Vietnam perished and was torn apart under the policy of the Han Dynasty, no longer the original unity. And the Zhao people could not turn the situation around. Finally, they decided to completely submit to the Han Dynasty and wait for a night to receive the will of the First Emperor.
Unfortunately, people's hearts are not old. During this period, some people couldn't stand the hard work of South Vietnam. Some defected to the Han Dynasty, and some fled south to Vishnu, Funan Kingdom, Tangming, Jinlin, Linyang and other countries. There are also ambitious people who simply unite with some local indigenous people to form tribes. Expedition everywhere to satisfy your own desires.
Of course, this is only a small part. Most people still adhere to their beliefs and are loyal to the First Emperor. It was also a tribe. In order not to attract the attention of the Han Dynasty, the Zhao people deliberately directed and performed a play to confuse the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
South Vietnam split and formed many large tribes. He also fought with many indigenous people, captured women, killed male young and disobedient indigenous people, leaving behind the blood of the old Qin people. For a long time, because I didn't expect the Qin Dynasty to collapse. Therefore, most of the 500,000 soldiers in the Southern Expedition are soldiers. They can fight, but few people can farm, weave and other livelihoods.
Life has never been very good. Under the oppression of the Han Dynasty, it is even difficult to survive. Originally, they wanted the army to go north to plunder, but unfortunately, due to the original road closure, the army was difficult to go, so they had to give up. Later, the days became more and more difficult. Fortunately, there was unyielding blood in the blood of the old Qin people, and they began to fight against nature.
Clans help each other, hunting beasts for food, and exchanging their furs and Han people for supplies. From time to time, they also sent some small groups to the north to learn from foreigners to fight grass valleys. Of course, they did not cause much killing, unlike the northern Xiongnu, Xianbei and other ethnic groups, who plundered and killed.
Year after year, generation.
The old generation of Qin people slowly disappeared, leaving only the ancestral teachings of loyalty to the First Emperor. Qin people are loyal and righteous, no matter what generation they are, they have never forgotten the faith in their hearts.
Maybe they have been buried in their hearts and felt uncomfortable. However, no one abandoned the loyalty in the bloodline. Under oppression, they are more tenacious, and they persist in survival because of faith.
After the changes of the tribe, the baptism of disaster, and the disappearance of life. The persistence of the old Qin people is still the same. With their arduous and indomitable fighting spirit, they have gradually grown from a humble vassal to a hegemon. After active or passive learning, successful or unsuccessful attacks, they have become the strongest and most advanced vassal states.
After so many years, combined vertical and horizontal, far and close attack, can finally become the supreme in the world. It is because of the spirit of the old Qin people that there is no unnecessary selfishness, just for the strength of the tribe. In any case, they have never given up and survived in this mountain forest. They still remember that they are old Qin people and proud old Qin people.
They still remember: old Qin, return to my rivers and mountains, blood will not dry, death will not be truce! They still remember "wind, wind, strong wind!" The battle song.
The hardships of life did not defeat the body of the old Qin people, but became stronger and stronger. The reason is that in the natural battle, the old Qin people inherited the spirit of their ancestors, tenacious and unyielding and united.
Up to now, during the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Zhao clan still led the descendants of the old Qin people and waited.
Up to now, Zhao Zhong has exhaled deeply. I don't know if it's because he's tired or something else, his body is a little crescent. Qin Feng kept listening and didn't expect history to be like this. This is the real history. In a blink of an eye, a scene flashed in Qin Feng's heart, which was the figure of the old Qin people fighting.
"Old man, what on earth are you waiting for?" Qin Feng thought for a moment and asked.
