New Year's Eve in the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty is still something that the people of Chen County and Dang County talk about even decades later, or it can be said to be the glory of their lives.
Under the emperor's order, all the people gathered near Chen County that night, including those scattered throughout Chen County, received double rations distributed by the court. Countless fires were spread throughout Chen County with Chen County as the center.
, illuminating both heaven and earth.
Due to the limited conditions, it is definitely impossible to guarantee that everyone can eat meat, but the boiling hot broth can at least guarantee that everyone can get a bowl.
The 300,000 surrendered soldiers of the Chu army who were imprisoned in six camps were also released on this day. Under the close supervision of the Qin army soldiers, they sat around huge fires and enjoyed the
Their New Year's Eve.
When the Second Emperor of Qin Dynasty appeared in Chenxian City at midnight, the atmosphere of this unique New Year's Eve reached its peak in an instant.
Under Hu Hai's order, and under the watchful eyes of nearly a million soldiers and civilians, the elites of the White Tiger Army, Xuanwu Army, and Qinglong Army, including dozens of Dragon Guard dead soldiers around Hu Hai, took turns to fight. Outside Chen County, they conducted a horse formation and infantry formation.
Formation, sword dancing, formation breaking, attack and defense of two armies, etc. are performances with a strong sense of shock.
Well, it's a performance. This is a new word given by His Majesty the Second Emperor of Qin Dynasty.
Countless huge fires soared into the sky, illuminating everyone's face that was flushed with excitement and excitement. Maybe they were sallow and thin, or their clothes were a little ragged. But everyone's eyes were no longer dull.
Amidst the flash of swords and shadows, the biting cold wind no longer seemed so cold.
That night, Chen County became a boiling ocean, and countless people refused to disperse until dawn.
…
The first day of the year is the first day of the first lunar month. As usual, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty will lead all civil and military officials to hold the Spring Festival Ceremony, one of the three major ceremonies of the Qin Dynasty, on the bank of the Weishui River in the suburbs of Xianyang. Since the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty Hu Hai is not in Xianyang, this day
The spring festival ceremony was held in Chen County instead.
This was the first spring worship ceremony held after Hu Hai ascended the throne as emperor. It was also the first time in the hundreds of years since the Qin Dynasty became a vassal state and even unified the world that a spring worship ceremony was held in Xianyang, which was not the imperial capital.
The Spring Festival Ceremony held in Chen County, coupled with the rush of time and the limitations of Chen County itself, the etiquette and specifications are naturally very different from the Spring Festival Ceremony held in Xianyang. Now Hu Hai only has Wei Liao and other military generals around him.
The county guards and local officials from Chen County, Jiujiang County, and Dang County are still on their way south to Chen County and have not reached Chen County. Naturally, there are no officials.
However, Xiong Xin, Zhaotong and others, as surrendered ministers, had the honor to participate in the Spring Festival Ceremony.
Although the etiquette and specifications are very different from the Spring Festival Ceremony held in Xianyang, the grandness of this Spring Festival Ceremony is still even greater than that of the Spring Festival Ceremony held in Xianyang hundreds of years ago in the Qin Dynasty.
.
A night of carnival did not make the people of Chen County tired. When the news came out that the emperor would hold a Spring Festival Ceremony on the outskirts of Chen County, the whole Chen County was excited again.
Under the watchful eyes of nearly one million soldiers and civilians, Hu Hai's first Spring Festival Ceremony since he ascended the throne came to a perfect conclusion.
Time is always moving forward without stopping, but I believe that whether it is the people of Chen County or the soldiers of the Chu Army who surrendered, at least the experiences of these two days will leave a heavy mark on their lives.
…
On the second day of October in the first year of the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, left Chen County and crossed the Huaihe River, preparing to go south along the Qin-Chu Yuechi Road from Shouchun to Nanhai County.
Everything in Chudi also came to an end on this day.
After careful consideration, Hu Hai finally chose to leave Weng Zhong's 50,000 Xuanwu Army to garrison in Shouchun. Along with Weng Zhong's 50,000 Xuanwu Army, there were also 45,000 Qinglong Army cavalry left in Chu. And these 45,000
After Hu Hai leaves, the people's cavalry will be unified under Weng Zhong's command, and Weng Zhong will be responsible for commanding them.
As for the surrender of the Chu State, they also had their own arrangements.
Xiong Xin was awarded the title of Marquis of Chu. This Marquis of Chu was the 19th-level title of Guannei Marquis in the Qin Dynasty. This was already a great favor for Xiong Xin. Xiong Xin was awarded the title of Marquis of Chu.
When Hu Hai left Chen County, he was escorted back to Xianyang by a thousand cavalry. Hu Hai specially gave Xiong Xin a huge house in Xianyang.
Zhaotong, Jinggong, and Qu Ping were awarded the rank of Young Master, which was the fifteenth level of the Qin title. This great favor naturally made Zhaotong, Jinggong, and Qu Ping burst into tears of gratitude. You know, now
The three princes and nine ministers of the Qin Dynasty were only the chief concubines.
As for the five legions from the Bashang camp, except for Wang Ganxijue Wuchenghou and Weng Zhongxijue Zuo Shuchang (the tenth level of title), the rest, such as Du Teng and Xu Chuang, won the first class, but they were still the same.
Just an official (sixth level of title).
However, after Zhaotong, Qu Ping and Jing were awarded titles, all the clansmen of the three tribes would gather in Chen County within half a month and then arrive in Xianyang. Zhaotong, Qu Ping and Jing stayed in Shouchun.
Together with Weng Zhong, after the officials from the south arrived, they assisted them in establishing the effective rule of the Qin Dynasty in Chu, as well as government offices at all levels, and rectifying production.
Wu Rui was named Jiujiang Supervisor and Official Official by Hu Hai. It can be said that he is the only one among the surrendered ministers of the Chu State who was granted a position of real power. In the same way, Wu Rui's Wu family will not continue
If you stay in Jiujiang, you will move to Xianyang with the Zhaoqujing clan.
Fan Zeng, a knighted official, held the position of counselor to the shogunate. He accompanied Hu Hai and followed Hu Hai southward. Counselor to the shogunate was also the diplomatic staff.
The only one who has not announced his title and arrangements is Xiang Liang. Similarly, it seems that Hu Hai, the Xiang family of Xiang Liang, has no plans to move out of Chu. And Xiang Liang does not seem to care.
Xiang Liang also followed Hu Hai south. He did not have any title, no reward, and no identity.
On the third day of the tenth month of the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty, General Feng Jie pacified Zhangjun, and General Ba Han Xin came to central Fujian. On the fifth day of the tenth month, Hu Hai's army arrived in Shouchun, and issued an edict in Shouchun to include Jiujiang, Kuaiji, and Zhangjun.
Several counties, including Changsha, Lujiang, Hengshan, and Minzhong, were exempted from taxes and service for one year and immediately transferred to Hengshan.
Hu Hai's edict naturally gave great peace to the uneasy people of Chu, and the people's hearts were stabilized. On the tenth day of the lunar month, Hu Hai came to Hengshan County to govern Zhu County (later Huangzhou, Hubei Province), and the entire Hengshan County surrendered.
On October 18, Feng Jie's army arrived at Lujiang County to govern Luling (later Ji'an, Jiangxi), and Lujiang surrendered. On October 20, Han Xin's army arrived at Minzhong County to govern Dongye (later Fuzhou, Fujian), and Minzhong surrendered.
The three-pronged army left thousands of soldiers to garrison in Hengshan, Kuaiji, Zhangjun, Lujiang, and several counties in central Fujian. They did not make any stops, took a short rest, and continued southward.
Although he was prepared in his heart, the complex terrain and harsh climate in Chu, Minnan and Lingnan still caused the three armies to suffer a lot. Fortunately, Hu Hai had already prepared, and all the three armies had
There is a large amount of medicinal materials, otherwise it will take at least a month to reach the South China Sea. But even so, according to the current advancing speed of the three-pronged army, it will take mid-November to reach the South China Sea.
At this time, there was a difference of more than half a month from the time when Hu Hai was expected to arrive in Nanhai. Fortunately, after Zhang Han's 150,000 Tiger Army left Qianzhong County and entered Xiang County, their progress was also not smooth, and they rushed to control Nanhai.
The time is also greatly extended.
And the environment faced by Zhang Han's Hu Ben army was far more difficult and dangerous than the three armies of Hu Hai, Feng Jie, and Han Xin. Because Zhang Han not only had to fight against the sky, but also against people.
With the help of Ba Qing on the fifth day of September, it took the army two days to cross the Yangtze River and move southward along the Wujiang River to Qianzhong County. It took Zhang Han's army of 150,000 tigers and soldiers almost a month to get out of Qianzhong County and enter Xiangjun and Xiangjun.
The intersection area of Guilin County.
In the territory of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang County formed a U shape, which happened to wrap up the entire western part of Guilin County. Therefore, Guilin County did not border with Qianzhong County, but the distant Xiang County bordered with central Guizhou and Changsha counties.
Entering Xiangjun means entering Guizhou in later generations. The climate in Guizhou is not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer. The only characteristic is more rain and less sunshine. In the pre-Qin period, most of Guizhou's vast primitive jungles existed, often with few
Even for more than ten days, Hu Benjun couldn't see any sun at all, and a continuous drizzle fell.
Colds, fevers, and dysentery became the biggest dangers for the Huben Army during the march, and batches of Huben soldiers fell ill. The more than 20,000 civilians recruited from Bajun to transport grain and grass were much worse in physical fitness than the Huben Army.
There are many, but most of these people are in good condition and rarely fall ill.
This is a symptom of acclimatization. Fortunately, Hu Hai was not the First Emperor. As a latecomer, he knew the climate of the south very well. Diseases such as dysentery are clearly recorded in the "Huangdi Nei Jing Su Wen", and Hu Hai specifically warned
Next, Bianyu's Imperial Hospital was specially equipped with a large number of medicinal materials for various armies, many of which were for the prevention and treatment of dysentery.
Therefore, when these diseases had just occurred and had not yet spread, the military doctors accompanying the army had already begun to control them. Zhang Han's army was able to reach Nanhai County without a single non-combat casualty. Hu Hai's foresight played an absolute role
effect.
Otherwise, just dysentery could wipe out Zhang Han's 150,000-strong army if not dealt with properly. As everyone knows, dysentery is contagious.
After overcoming many illnesses, lice became an obstacle to the army's progress. Because they had not seen the sun for a long time, the temperature was not too low and humid, most of the long hair tied up by the tiger soldiers was infested with lice, and the same was true in the bedding. The army moved forward.
The speed dropped sharply.
Hu Hai issued an edict, and the Huben army became a bald army.
The hair and skin of the body are received by parents and dare not be damaged, which is the beginning of filial piety. This famous saying from the Confucian Filial Piety Classic that has been passed down for thousands of years is not very popular in today's Daqin market. Even few people know it.
Of course, even if they knew this, not many people in the Huben Army would resist. What's more, all the senior generals of the Huben Army, including Zhang Han, took the lead and shaved their heads first.
With the hair shaved off, there is no environment for lice to breed. As for the lice in the bedding, if you burn some herbs and smoke them, you cannot say that they will all die. It can kill more than 80% of the lice, which is enough.
Meng Kuo's army in the direction of Yandao also set off from Yandao five days before New Year's Eve and headed towards Xiangjun. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature Register Member to recommend this work
