Since Ziying ascended the throne, Zhao Tuo's Nanhai County Wei Mansion was renamed Xianyang Palace. However, this Xianyang Palace cannot be compared with the Xianyang Palace where Hu Hai lived in Xianyang. It was just a place for Ziying and Zhao Tuo to masturbate.
Before Ziying proclaimed himself emperor, Zhao Tuo, who was in critical condition, was actually not in the South China Sea. All matters in the South China Sea were entrusted to his younger brother Zhao Guangjian. In fact, the death of Ren Xiao had no absolute connection with Zhao Tuo. It was just Zhao Guang.
He did it deliberately by helping Ziying remove the obstacles to his accession to the throne. Saying one thousand to ten thousand is just to remove the obstacles for his brother Zhao Tuo to ascend to the throne.
After all, no matter in terms of military merit or political achievements, Ren Xiao, who led the Nanhai County Lieutenant, could not be compared to Zhao Tuo, who was still just the Longchuan County Magistrate. What's more, Ren Xiao was even more supportive of Zhao Tuo.
Of course, without the First Emperor and Fusu, Zhao Tuo would not be where he is today.
At this time, Hu Hai's predecessor had not had time to do many outrageous things. He did not kill Meng Tian and Meng Yi, did not let Zhao Gao call a deer a horse, did not force Feng Qu to kill Feng Jie and his son, did not kill the Prime Minister Li Si, and did not general
All his brothers were killed and so on...
Ren Xiao is still in a wait-and-see state at most, and may be a little dissatisfied with Hu Hai for forcing Fusu to death. But as long as there are old guys like Li Si, Meng Tian, and Feng Quji around, Ren Xiao will never have any thoughts of leaving Da Qin.
The kindness and power that the First Emperor left in the hearts of the Qin people, especially the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty who followed him through life and death, are not easy to dissipate. What's more, in this era of belief in ghosts and gods.
Ren Xiao didn't nod. It would be very difficult for Ziying to ascend the throne in Nanhai. It was even said that it was absolutely impossible. Of course, Ren Xiao didn't have to die. He only needed to be imprisoned. After all, before Ziying arrived in Nanhai, Ren Xiao had already conquered Nanhai.
The post of county lieutenant was given to Zhao Tuo, and Zhao Tuo also received the approval of the court and was named General of the South China Sea by the First Emperor.
By the time Zhao Tuo returned to Nanhai, Ren Xiao had been poisoned by Zhao Guang. Although Zhao Tuo was angry, he had nothing to do in the end. After all, people have to look forward. What's more, Ziying went south to ascend the throne.
In fact, the biggest obstacle is Ren Xiao.
Zhao Tuo ordered Ren Xiao to be buried lavishly, and after Ren Xiao had passed the seven directions, Ziying ascended the throne and became emperor. He named himself the third emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and posthumously named Fusu the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He also enfeoffed all civil and military officials.
At this moment, all the officials of the Southern Qin Dynasty gathered in the Xianyang Palace of Nanhai.
Emperor Ziying of Southern Qin, wearing a black royal robe and a crown of scales, stood high above the main hall. Below the main hall, Zhao Tuo, Zhao Guang, Su Yue and others were all sitting. In addition, there were also people including Da Qin who had invaded Southern Qin.
There were a group of Meng clan captains, including the highest ranking officer Ying Meng Yun. However, there were only no leaders of the Baiyue barbarian tribes who frequently appeared in Panyu City in the past.
At this moment, the topic that Ziying and his group of Southern Qin monarchs and ministers were discussing was also related to the Baiyue barbarians.
The rainy weather that lasted for more than a month after the tsunami soaked a large amount of harvested grain in several counties in South Vietnam, mainly Nanhai County. Countless people were displaced. After more than 20 days of persistence, a
The Great Famine first started in the South China Sea and spread rapidly.
The great famine made Ziying and Zhao Tuo's plan to go north to capture the two counties of Bashu completely come to nothing.
In fact, when internal problems occur, it is a common practice in later generations to launch a war to pass on one's own problems to others, such as the Pacific Police Midi. For example, the Japanese slaves.
It was not that Ziying and Zhao Tuo had not thought about the possibility of their army going north to obtain food from Bashu to solve the internal famine in the South China Sea. However, the great famine completely detonated the hatred between the Qin people and the Baiyue barbarians in the South China Sea.
The Great Famine began. Since the Baiyue barbarians had just learned how to farm, most of them still maintained a lifestyle of fishing and hunting. Even if there were some who farmed, it would be good if their output could sustain daily food and clothing, let alone any food reserves. So soon most of them
Hundreds of Yue barbarians soon ran out of food. They all asked Zhao Tuo and Ziying for food.
As the target of wooing, Ziying and Zhao Tuo naturally find it difficult to refuse the demands of the Baiyue barbarians. Even if they tighten their belts, they must provide support to the Baiyue barbarians, otherwise they will definitely chill the hearts of the Baiyue barbarians.
.After all, after so many years of dealing with each other, Zhao Tuo knew very well that although the Baiyue barbarians were uncivilized barbarians compared with the people of the Central Plains, they were the ones who put their interests first.
There were too many monks and too little food. During the great famine, South Vietnam was full of hungry people. You must know that most of the old Qin people who moved south were actually the family members of the Qin army stationed in the South China Sea. The palms of the hands and the backs were full of meat. Too much food was given to the Baiyue barbarians, which hurt the Qin army.
The Baiyue barbarians were not happy to give too much to the Qin army.
Finally, the Baiyue barbarians couldn't bear it and began to plunder the few grains left in the homes of ordinary Qin people. When the Qin army got the news and rushed there, the Qin people's villages were already littered with corpses. Many of them died here.
All the people were relatives of the Qin army. The angry Qin army chased and plundered the Baiyue barbarians and killed all the young and strong Baiyue barbarians.
Conflict ignites!
Before Ziying and Zhao Tuo had time to reorganize their army and march north, Nanhai County itself became chaotic. The Baiyue barbarians began to frequently plunder the villages where the Qin people lived. The Qin army was exhausted, and eventually the Baiyue barbarians gathered more and more and no longer
Satisfied with harvesting a small amount of food from each village, he aimed at the cities in the South China Sea.
By now, Ziying, Zhao Tuo and others were no longer thinking about how to capture the two counties of Bashu and compete for the world, but how to calm down the chaos in the South China Sea as soon as possible.
To be more precise, he killed all those capricious Baiyue barbarians.
It's just that the military strength of Nanhai County seems not to be enough to deal with the Baiyue barbarians who are roaring in and out from everywhere. Now tens of thousands of Baiyue barbarians are gathering to prepare to capture Boluo, a city in the east of Panyu.
After the incident of Ziying seizing power, the total number of Qin troops in South Vietnam is less than 250,000. Of course, this does not include the nearly 700,000 civilians. If they are recruited temporarily, they will be able to gather an army of 500,000.
.However, it is not clear how effective the 250,000 people recruited are.
There are four cities in the South China Sea, namely Panyu, the county seat, Buhui, the county seat more than 200 miles northwest of Panyu, Boluo, the city more than 200 miles southeast of Panyu, and Zhao Tuo, who served as county magistrate, is more than 400 miles northeast of Panyu.
Longchuan City.
In the four cities, except for the 40,000 elite troops of Zhao Tuo's direct lineage stationed in Panyu, the capital of the Southern Qin Kingdom, the remaining three cities only had 5,000 Qin troops stationed in each city.
The four cities combined have only more than 60,000 people. The rest are like Guilin and Xiangjun. Zhao Tuo only sent some of his confidants to take over symbolically, and did not send soldiers to garrison. After all, as long as the South China Sea is in hand, Guilin and Xiangjun can no longer
Nothing can change the situation.
The reason why there are only so few troops in the South China Sea is because Zhao Tuo deployed most of the Southern Qin army to defend and cut off the main roads and passes connecting South Vietnam to Changsha, central Guizhou, and Guilin in the north of Ling Dynasty.
Wuling mainly refers to the Wuling lying on the border of Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangdong, and Guangxi.
The so-called Wuling refers to the Dayu Ridge at the junction of Dayu County in Jiangxi and Nanxiong County in Guangdong, the Qitian Ridge at the junction of Chenzhou in Hunan and Guangdong, the Dupang Ridge at the junction of Lanshan County in Hunan and the northwest of Guangxi, and the Mengzhu Ridge at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi.
, Yuechengling at the junction of Xing'an County, Guangxi and Hunan.
The mountainous terrain of the South China Sea is leaning against the mountains and facing the sea. Controlling the five ridges in the north and close to the three rivers, it is the key offensive and defensive position of the South China Sea.
Originally, in history, Ren Xiao's dying instructions about "Qin is unruly and the world suffers...Panyu is surrounded by dangerous mountains and thousands of miles from north to south and east to west...we can build a country", which made Zhao Tuo choose to close the pass, cut off the road, and build a country.
We formed three lines of defense and gathered troops to defend ourselves.
Now, after electing Ziying to be the emperor, Zhao Tuo once again chose to close the pass in Nanyue, and he would never do anything. Zhao Tuo was not there when Ziying arrived in the South China Sea. At that time, Zhao Tuo was already making preparations. The reason why he was not in Panyu was because
In order to deploy troops to seal the pass, Jue Tao.
When he was pacifying South Vietnam, in compliance with the order of the First Emperor, Ren Xiao built four checkpoints on the Chidao connecting Lingnan and Lingbei, that is, Wuling, at a strategic location - Hengpuguan, Yupuguan, Yangshangguan, and Huangshangguan.
Xiguan.
These four checkpoints cut off four new roads and Chi Road connecting Lingbei and Lingnan. Hengpuguan guards the passage from Lujiang County to the South China Sea; Yupu Pass guards the passage from Changsha County to the South China Sea; and Yangshanguan guards the passage from Qianzhong County to Guilin.
The county transfers to Nanhai County; Huangxiguan guards the new road from Changsha County to Nanhai County.
The three passes of Hengpu, Yupu and Yangshan stand in a tripartite position, with Yupu in the middle. Huangxi Pass is more than 300 miles away from Panyu and is the closest pass to Panyu and the last of the four passes.
Zhao Tuo initially deployed more than 80,000 troops in these four checkpoints. At least nearly 20,000 troops were stationed at each checkpoint to prevent the Qin army from invading after Ziying ascended the throne.
After Ziying ascended the throne as emperor, because the tsunami affected the time for dispatching troops, Zhao Tuo successively added troops to four passes. Now, the number of Southern Qin soldiers stationed in each of these four passes has exceeded 40,000.
Fifty miles away from Panyu, where the county is governed, Zhao Tuo also built the Shimen Fortress and annexed more than 30,000 people as the last barrier for Nanhai County to govern Panyu.
These five fortresses gathered most of the troops of the Southern Qin Dynasty. Originally, Ziying and Zhao Tuo wanted to wait until the South China Sea was pacified, then send troops from Panyu, directly from Yangshan Pass via Huangxi Pass, and march north to capture Bashu, including Hengpu.
The two passes of Yupu guarded the Northeast Chi Road to protect the South China Sea, and with the help of the Baiyue barbarians, they only needed to take away most of the Southern Qin soldiers in the South Navy and the soldiers of the Huangxi and Yangshan passes.
All plans were destroyed by the sudden tsunami and famine. As of now, the troops in the South China Sea used to quell the Baiyue barbarians are no longer enough. Today, the court meeting is discussing how many soldiers should be transferred from the five major fortresses back to the South China Sea to support the South China Sea.
