"Previously, these fish stews, sake, etc. were still the style of the Chu State. However, now that the Chu State has been destroyed, everything here belongs to the Qin Dynasty."
"When Great Qin comes out from the east, it not only wants to map the world, but also wants to conquer the world, so that it can be worthy of being the iron-blooded master of Great Qin."
Feng Jie was ashamed, stood up from the case, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice.
The people of Lao Qin can do that.
"Your Majesty, these fish stews will eventually become a fixture on the tables of the old Qin people."
Meng Wu also stood up and bowed.
Although the king's words just came out at the last moment, they had a different flavor. Indeed, as the king said, Chu State has not been able to control the vast land south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years.
Can the old Qin people do it?
Although it is just a meal of words, it has much depth.
"..."
"..."
For a time, all the generals expressed their stance loudly.
"Hahaha, no need for that."
"You are from Lao Qin, and I am also from Lao Qin. You know the Lao Qin people, and I also know it."
"Therefore, on the way here, thinking of this, I summoned Datian to order Zheng Guo to come to Shouchun quickly. There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River. If there is a smooth waterway."
"Although the people of the Qin Dynasty cannot tolerate the food of Chu, they can still eat the delicacies of the Qin people's pots, helmets, cattle and sheep."
When Qin Wangzheng saw this, he quickly waved his hand.
I also know the nature of the people of Lao Qin, so it is difficult to change their customs and customs in a short time.
Before, it was just random words.
However, the generals are relieved in their hearts.
"King!"
"..."
The generals looked at each other and were all moved. They looked upward, bowed deeply again, and then returned to their respective cases.
"You and the six hundred thousand soldiers are indispensable for the destruction of Chu in this battle."
"It's a pity that it's dark now, so we can't see the mighty troops of Qin Dynasty at a glance. However, in the battle to destroy Chu and secure Southern Chu, you, as the general, will work hard and prepare for it."
"I should drink this wine with you and others to celebrate together."
Qin Wangzheng stood up, raised a cup of warm wine in his hand, and looked at the generals in front of him.
They are all young men in the Qin army. Although they are not fully prepared, the current stability of Chu State cannot be separated from them.
He spoke freely and glanced left and right.
"King!"
"King!"
"..."
Everyone below also stood up, each holding a cup, and drank together, everyone was happy.
"More!"
"The old general led 600,000 troops southward and succeeded in the first battle, and the old Qin people suffered very little damage. He deserves the greatest credit."
"I should respect the veteran general with a noble title!"
Qin Wangzheng drank all the wine in his hand, and the waiter on the side filled it up automatically. Then he turned his body slightly and looked at Wang Jian.
Destroying Chu is of great importance.
Wang Jian was not in his initial plan, but he still reached this point in the end.
Wang Jian led his troops to destroy Chu, and the 600,000 soldiers of the Qin Dynasty suffered very few casualties. Compared with Yan and Zhao, the battles between the three Jin Dynasties were even less.
It's really joyful.
When you finish speaking, you should drink the wine in your hand first.
"King!"
"This is where the duty of the veteran minister lies, and it is also where all the soldiers in the army are brave. The king has a broad mind, strategizes, and wins thousands of miles. It should be the root of the great victory over Chu."
"It's a blessing for the Qin Dynasty, and it's also a blessing for the Xia Dynasty."
Wang Jian also held up his own wine bottle with both hands. Seeing this, he bowed deeply and immediately drank the wine in one gulp while speaking loudly.
"Hahaha, okay!"
"Beyond Shouchun just now, I looked at the old general's demeanor. He looked very old. But now, I see that he still has confidence and is still in good health."
Qin Wangzheng was amazed.
Wang Jian continued to drink wine, and he was so forthright and heroic. It was really a blessing for the Qin Dynasty. The former king of Zhaoxiang had Bai Qi, a famous general.
Now, Wang Jian's reputation is not inferior to that of Lord Wu An.
"Looks like I'm going to drink as much as I want today."
Waving his hand with one hand, he signaled that all the generals should return to their positions. The Qin Wangzheng expression became more and more excited. It is always a joy to be with these iron-blooded soldiers in the army.
Especially when you are about to achieve success, there may still be many troubles, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and everything must be done step by step.
Have fun tonight.
"Your Majesty, you were hungover last night, why did you get up so early today?"
"There is no rush about Jiangnan."
In the side hall of the Shouchun King's City, at the beginning of the next day, Qin Wangzheng had once again summoned everyone to come in. The number of people was not large, and the generals were not among them.
Entering the palace, Brother Guan Wang seemed to be drinking rice porridge, and Zhou Qing laughed and said that it was already midnight when the party ended last night.
Although the wine of the Chu State is not as strong as the wine of the old Qin people, it is easy to get drunk after drinking a bottle.
However, looking at Brother Wang, he seems to be in good spirits.
"Huainan indeed still needs several months to rectify, but Jiangnan still needs to quickly decide on a strategy."
"After the destruction of Chu, the overall situation of the Qin Dynasty has been determined. No external force can stop it, but whether the empire can last is a matter of concern to me!"
"Jiangnan, Lingnan, Baiyue, Nanhai and other places are very large. If they are not completely brought under the control of Da Qin, it will be a great worry."
"There are also Beihu barbarians who will take action again in these days. Meng Tian is in Northern Xinjiang, so it won't be a problem for the time being."
Watching the king's brother, the general, Li Si and others come in, Qin Wangzheng nodded, quickly finished the food in his hands, and asked the waiter to leave.
It is indeed unnecessary for the Qin army to march south to the south of the Yangtze River for the time being.
But it is still necessary to plan early and implement it carefully.
At present, the remaining power of the Yan, Zhao, and Three Jin states, and even the remnant power of the Chu State, are all flowing to the Qi State. With the Qin Dynasty under one roof, how can the Qi State be an exception?
Sure enough, Qi State was also brought under the control of Da Qin.
If the Qin Dynasty could not completely bring Jiangnan, Lingnan and other places under its control, wouldn't it be a good hiding place for those people?
If those people are not dealt with, they will become a hidden danger to the Qin Dynasty. As for the external invasion of Beihu.
I don't have time to pay attention to it for the time being. It won't be difficult to take care of it after Zhu Xia is stable.
"The land south of the Yangtze River is complicated. Before the king comes, Xuan Qing has also discussed it with the general and others, and has a rough plan for the time being."
"That being the case, I would like to ask General Meng Wu to say something."
Sitting casually on the velvet carpet in the palace, the detailed plan for conquering Jiangnan has not yet been released.
Many things seem simple, but when they are implemented one by one, problems seem to pop up one after another.
However, there are still general strategies.
"Well, let me tell you, General Mengwu."
Qin Wangzheng was drinking tea. Hearing this, he looked at Meng Wu with a smile.
"Here!"
"Your Majesty, the land south of the Yangtze River, the land south of Lingnan and even the land of the South China Sea have been called the land of Baiyue for hundreds of years."
"As for the origin, it can be traced back to the Wu and Yue period. In the past, after the Yue Kingdom was destroyed by the Wu Kingdom, the royal family of the Yue Kingdom fled and did not dare to travel to the north. They could only go south along the river, and they have continued to this day."
"The area south of Jiangdong is where most of the Yue people gather. It is close to the sea and is called Ouyue. According to the map, it is also called East Yue. It claims to be a descendant of the Yue King Gou Jian, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period."
"The Yue people further south gathered on both sides of the Min River and became Min Yue. They claimed to be descendants of King Gou Jian of Yue." ぷ999小@reported first
"These two tribes are the largest."
"The rest of the scattered Yue people also went west and south, and merged into the original barbarians in the south of the Yangtze River. They were called Lingnan Baiyue, Nanhai Baiyue, and Dian Yue..."
"They make a living by fishing and hunting, with little farming, no tattoos, and no fixed abode. However, they are quite fierce. Coupled with the dense mountains and forests, it is difficult for the army to deal with them."
Meng Wu stood up straight and bowed his hands.
Immediately, he spoke slowly and told the general situation of the Jiangnan land. If there was strong resistance, it would not be a problem.
Sure enough, those people are very strong, and they will not shrink to the south of the Yangtze River.
The only trouble is that the terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is complex, with mountains, dense forests, and miasma making it difficult for the army to penetrate deeply.
"What can be done to ensure long-term peace and stability there?"
Qin Wangzheng nodded. When he was staying in Xianyang Palace, there were also some Jiangnan files there, so he also understood some of them.
Although it is not as detailed as what Meng Wu said, the general situation is still the same.
It is easy to defeat those people and easy to capture those places.
That’s not what you want!
It is in line with Da Qin that Da Qin needs to have long-term control over it.
"If we want long-term peace and stability, we must burn down the mountains and forests, build cities near the water, cultivate farmland, change their customs, and transform them into the splendor of the summer."
"It will take a long time. Until then, if we want to be stable, we must have hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the entire Jiangnan."
Meng Wu is another gift, and there is naturally a way to achieve long-term peace and stability.
It is just too time-consuming. Without the time of several generations, it is simply impossible. The only way is to completely erase the inherent splendor of Jiangnan.
Only then can something new be added.
Only then can we say we have a chance of stability.
"Da Qin needs to pay a big price!"
"In Xuanqing's view, guarding with hundreds of thousands of troops is only the first step. Important people must be sent to comb the entire river system south of the Yangtze River, build galloping roads, and gather people who migrate to the south of the Yangtze River at every node."
"The land south of the Yangtze River is as vast as the Central Plains. If we want to speed up long-term peace and stability, we need to migrate a large number of people from Zhuxia to intermarry with each other and multiply."
"After several generations, elegance will naturally blend into it."
Zhou Qing also sighed.
No one knows the situation in Jiangnan better than himself. Over the years, the real development of Jiangnan was due to the barbarian invasion of Zhuxia.
As a result, people from all Xia Dynasties crossed the river south one after another, reached the south of the Yangtze River, and completely developed the land south of the Yangtze River.
With the current strength of Da Qin and the current strength of the Qin State, if we want to reach that point, we must continue to invest manpower, material resources, and financial resources...
"Although it is difficult!"
"A humble man must do it."
Thinking of what Meng Wu and Wang Di said, the Qin King's political agenda was stirred up, and hundreds of thousands of troops were mobilized to immigrate, intermarry, and repair water conservancy...
Nothing is taken lightly.
But if Da Qin wants to have long-term peace and stability, it must have complete control over Jiangnan.
"If you want to conquer the south of the Yangtze River, you must have a general in the army who is familiar with the conditions in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Do you have a choice?"
Qin Wangzheng stood up with his hands behind his back. It seemed that things in Jiangnan were more complicated and difficult than he thought.
It was not inferior to the battle that destroyed Chu State.
