Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 494: Nan Fu Baiyue

Baiyue, although the rebuilt Baiyue Palace is not as magnificent as the palaces in the Central Plains, it is already the best house in Baiyue where most of the buildings are thatched houses.

Tianze is looking at the intelligence collected by his men from various places.

"The tribe in Xiou went to war with Cangwu again? Did Xiou return with a big defeat?" Tianze said while looking at the information while rubbing his brows.

Although Yangyue, one of the four major tribes of Baiyue, was in his hands, in order to reduce friction among the other tribes, and with the support of the great shaman attracted by the exorcist, he, the deposed prince of Baiyue, was once again honored as the King of Baiyue. . The title King of Baiyue sounds nice, but the other three of the four major tribes, Ouyue, Minyue and Cangwu, all refused to hear it. 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 calmly.

"I know that King Ouyue is also a waste. He asked his younger brother to split Ouyue into two tribes. Xiou is now forced to a dead end by King Ouyue. Otherwise, he would not want to go to war with Cangwu and rob Cangwu. Wu’s territory.” Tianze shook his head and said.

If possible, Tianze really doesn't want to deal with these nonsense, but he is the nominal King of Baiyue, and the following tribes must obey his orders. If he doesn't manage it, his prestige as the King of Baiyue will be lost. If the Qin army arrives, not to mention leading the way, they will even be regarded as traitors by Baiyue.

"Then what are you going to do?" the exorcist asked.

"Cut off the trade between Ouyue and Cangwu, and restrict the flow of items sent from the Central Plains to the two tribes." Tianze said coldly.

The exorcist was stunned for a moment, then said
"Isn't this bad? If trade is cut off, the small tribes under the two tribes may become very resentful and resent us even more, right?"

"It is Xi Ou and King Cang Wu who caused this result. What does it have to do with us? The resentment of these small tribes will only be directed against these two people. As for Dong Ou, we can only blame him for his misfortune. Who allowed him to have such a good brother? ." Tianze said.

In these years, Fusu had governed Chu State. In order to help Tianze further control Baiyue, he opened up trade between Chu State and Baiyue. The life of the people in Baiyue is far more difficult than that in the grassland. They face the influx of food, cloth, medicinal herbs and other things. At the same time, all Baiyue's specialties are taken away by the caravans of the Chu State, which makes the poor There has been some prosperity in Baiyue. Whether it is the four major tribes or the small tribes below, as long as they open up trade, they will never be able to do without this trade. It can be said that Baiyue's entire economy relies on this trade.

If the Qin State cuts off trade with Baiyue, Baiyue will not even survive for a year, and some small tribes will rebel.

In order to enhance Tianze's authority, Fusu detachment Tianze controlled Yangyue to open trade channels. The materials from the Central Plains must first enter Yangyue's territory and then be transferred to other tribes.

The exorcist didn't understand what Tianze said, but he remembered another thing
"The King of Minyue and the King of Ouyue sent envoys to Chu State to discuss with Prince Fusu about opening a trade channel for them."

"These two people are really evil. Is this their fourth time this year?" Tianze said.

"Yes."

"Is there any news from Qin?" Tianze asked with a frown.

"It has been four years since the last time Qin revealed to us that it was preparing to send troops. In the past four years, Qin has been recuperating and has no intention of sending troops to Baiyue." said the exorcist.
"Our people discovered a lot of people from Baiyue in Dongyue. They all gathered in Dongyue and they didn't know what they wanted to do." The exorcist said.

"Don't worry about them." Tianze said. Baijia now obeys Qin, and Baijia is an ally to Tianze.

"This month's information has been sent to Xianyang and should have arrived by now." said the exorcist.

Tianze nodded and said nothing.

Xianyang, Qin Palace.

Zhao Gao was reading the Baiyue intelligence sent back by Tianze to Ziyou and Ying Zheng. After reading it, Zhao Gao sent the intelligence to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng glanced at the information and said

"Teacher, in four years, the Qin State has almost recovered. The troops trained in the Chu State have also adapted to the climate and terrain of Baiyue, and there is no problem in fighting mountain warfare. The Miasma-Removing Pills and Insect-Removing Powder developed by doctors have been The equipment is ready. Baiyue has also arrived in East Vietnam, and I think we can take action against Baiyue."

"It is indeed a suitable opportunity. I wonder who the king plans to appoint as the coach?" Ziyou asked.

"Wang Jian. There is no need to rush to attack Baiyue, and Baiyue is very mountainous. Wang Jian is suitable for attacking Baiyue. I plan to make Wang Jian the commander and divide the army into three groups. The first group will be led by Tu Sui, the second group will be led by Zhao Tuo, and the third group will be led by Tu Sui. The road is Ren Xiao. Attack Cangwu, Ouyue and Minyue from three roads, and the world will be decided in one battle." Ying Zheng said.

Ziyou nodded. The three generals ordered by Ying Zheng were all Ying Zheng's bodyguards. In history, the three of them led troops to attack Baiyue. Except for Tu Sui, who was a bit miserable, everything else was good.

"Let Yan Lingji and I set off with the army. With her, a Baiyue saint, some tribes in Baiyue will surrender." Ziyou said.

"Okay, with teachers on the battlefield, nothing goes wrong. I think we can go further with the matter in the Western Region, let the hundreds of families take action." Ying Zheng said.

Because the Qin State was recuperating, hundreds of families who were originally preparing to set out for the Western Regions also stopped and prepared to wait for the Qin State. Without the support of the Qin army, it would be too difficult for them to promote their doctrines in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions and control these countries to start experiments.

"Okay, the current Qin State's national strength is indeed good." Ziyou said.

The current national power of the Qin State has reached a terrifying level, and the growth rate of the population is already terrifying. Four years ago, the population of the State of Qin was only more than 20 million, but now the population of the State of Qin has exceeded 35 million. It is even increasing rapidly, especially in Yingchuan County, Dong County and Jiaozhou County, where there is a trend of small-scale population explosion.

In this era, population means productivity and everything.

"Okay, I will issue a decree tomorrow at the meeting, asking me to prepare to recruit an army of 500,000 to attack Baiyue from Changsha." Ying Zheng said.

"I will inform Tianze and others when I get back and let them get ready," Ziyou said.

"it is good."

The next day, Ying Zheng announced his decision to go south to Baiyue in the court hall. Because four years of rest and recuperation made the Qin State's treasury very sufficient, no one objected and supported Ying Zheng's decision.

Ying Zheng immediately issued an edict to attack Baiyue. Wang Jian was the commander. Tu Sui, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo each led an army from Changsha and attacked Baiyue in three groups. Everyone is well aware of Ying Zheng's appointment. Tu Sui, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo, who are Ying Zheng's bodyguards, suddenly lead troops. This is obviously Ying Zheng's support for his own people, but the officials in the court have no objection to this. , after all, this is a normal thing.

Now Feng Quji is in charge of the Yulin Army, Meng Wu is recuperating at home due to injuries suffered in his early years, Meng Tian is in charge of grassland affairs in Yunzhong County, and Qiliji is in charge of the military in the Western Region in Beidi County. They are 100% loyal to Ying Zheng. The loyal people are already outside, but within the Qin State, only three people, Li Xin, Wang Jian and Li Mu, are left in charge of the Qin army. Although the loyalty of the three people does not need to be questioned, there must still be a balance, so people Everyone took it for granted to lead the troops.

Tu Sui, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo were even more grateful to Ying Zheng. The three of them were internal guards. Although they had prominent status, they did not have the opportunity to make contributions. Ying Zheng's move gave them the opportunity, so they were naturally grateful. . After Ying Zheng's edict was issued, Wang Jian led three people and the army towards Changsha.

In the King's Mansion.

"You all want to follow?" Ziyou asked, looking at Concubine Yan and Shao Siming.

"Of course, we haven't been to Baiyue yet," said Concubine Yan.

"Yeah, but we need to go to East Vietnam first." Ziyou said.

"Why?" Concubine Yan asked curiously.

"Wang Jian led his army to attack Baiyue in order to overwhelm Baiyue with force and let them know the power of Qin. As the ancestral land of Baiyue, East Vietnam is regarded by many Baiyue people as the origin of Baiyue. Let's go Dongyue asked the people of Dongyue to publicize the identity of Yan Lingji, the saint of Baiyue, and conquer Baiyue from the perspective of belief." Ziyou said.

"In that case, let's set off." Concubine Yan said.

Ziyou nodded, and the four of them set off with the army. After a month of trekking, the army arrived in Changsha. After Wang Jian assigned the tasks to the three armies here, he began to send troops to attack Baiyue, while Ziyou led the army. With Concubine Yan, Shao Siming and Yan Lingji, they went to East Vietnam.

Ten days later, Ziyou and the others arrived in Dongyue.

In the palace of the King of Dongyue, Ziyou met several people from the Baijia family. The Zhu family from the farmer family, Qingfengzi from the Taoist family, and Han Shen from the Mohist family. As representatives of the Baijia family, the three of them brought people from the Baijia family to Dongyue. Land reclamation is coming.

Relying on the power of hundreds of families, the three of them contacted the Vietnamese people left behind by the original Yue Kingdom in East Vietnam. With the support of these people, the three of them successfully took control of East Vietnam.

"Meet Mr. Ziyou." The three of them saluted Ziyou.

"I've met you all. How is Baiyue's situation now?" Ziyou asked.

"The army attacked Baiyue. All the tribes in Baiyue put aside their prejudices and prepared to fight against the outside world. Each tribe also sent out its own cards and formed an army of strange people. Some of these people are good at controlling poisonous insects and snakes, and some are good at controlling poisonous insects and snakes. They can control water and fire, and some can also control wild animals. In short, the strength of this team cannot be underestimated. In addition, Baiyue has deployed troops to guard some dangerous mountainous areas.

It seems that Baiyue's resistance is very strong, but in fact they are still doing their own things. They have not selected a general who can convince the crowd to command the entire Baiyue army. "Zhu Jia said.

"There is no unified command?" Ziyou asked in surprise.

"Yes, the four kings of Baiyue were all afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to seize the other party's army, or send the other party's army to fight the Qin army to the death. Under the stalemate, the four kings finally formed a meeting to make decisions together." said.

"That's it." Ziyou nodded and said.

"This is a problem that Baiyue has always had. When Korea and Chu attacked Baiyue, it was precisely because of this that Baiyue lost completely." Yan Lingji said.

"Wang Jian will solve the problem of the army. How prepared are you for the propaganda?" Ziyou asked.

"We are ready. We have already publicized Madam Yan Lingji's affairs in Dongyue. Dongyue has begun to respect Madam as the only Holy Mother in Baiyue. We can spread the news at any time." Qingfengzi said.

"Okay, let's do it." Ziyou said.

Driven by Dongyue, various legendary things about Yan Lingji appeared in various places in Baiyue. If it were normal, Baiyue people would not care, but as more and more Baiyue people saw the The rolling Yanling Ji then began to surrender one after another.

Because after seeing Yan Lingji, these Baiyue people felt a kind of closeness and respect stemming from blood, which gave them a sense of awe in their hearts. Yan Lingji did not keep any secrets, and showed Chi You's pattern in public in Dongyue. After seeing Chi You's pattern and the Sky-Moon Sword obtained from the Qin State's treasury, the entire Dongyue worshiped Yan Lingji even more.

The story of Yan Lingji spread throughout Baiyue in a very short period of time. Because of their worship of their ancestor Chi You, many Baiyue people even went to Dongyue to see Yan Lingji. After meeting Yan Lingji, the doubts in these people's hearts disappeared immediately, and they began to promote Yan Lingji.

On a farmland in East Vietnam.

Ziyou, Yan Fei and Shao Siming looked at the Baiyue people who were performing sacrifices in the temple in front.

"Do these Baiyue people believe it so easily?" Concubine Yan was still a little doubtful that Yan Lingji had gained a large number of followers in a short period of time.

"Do you really think that Yan Lingji relied on Chi You's bloodline to make them surrender?" Ziyou asked.

"Isn't it?" Concubine Yan asked in surprise.

Young Siming on the side also looked at Ziyou.

"Of course not, these are the things that really made the Baiyue people surrender to Yan Lingji." Ziyou pointed at the contiguous farmland.

The rice grown in these farmlands is the latest research from the Qin Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It has extremely high yield and strong vitality. It can grow even in barren land like Baiyue.

Concubine Yan and Shao Siming were a little stunned as they looked at the ears of wheat swaying in the wind. It was difficult for them, who had had no worries about food and clothing since childhood and had no idea about money, to realize what these rice meant to the Baiyue people.

"Before the Baijia came to East Vietnam three years ago, do you know what life was like for the East Vietnamese people?" Ziyou looked at the farmland and said, "At that time, there was a lot of farmland in East Vietnam, but the food output was very little. One day Being able to eat a bowl of rice is already the best harvest. People starve to death every day. Wild fruits and vegetables are what they eat to satisfy their hunger.

But three years ago, people from hundreds of families arrived, especially the farmers led by the Zhu family. They brought advanced technology from the Central Plains, helped the East Vietnamese people reclaim farmland, introduced iron farm tools, and high-yielding crops. Within three years, the original The poor East Vietnamese can barely manage to eat two meals a day.

Food is the most important thing for Mintian. Keeping people full is more important than anything else. Otherwise, how could outsiders like the Zhu family master East Vietnam within three years and be highly sought after by the East Vietnamese.

The other Baiyue people who came to Dongyue saw the current prosperity of Dongyue. They subconsciously believed that Yan Lingji brought it to them, so they respected Yan Lingji, and they also wanted to be full. Rice will no longer be harmed by poisonous insects and wild beasts, and will not die from a little disease. "
