On December 17, the first year of the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, arrived at Nanhai County to govern Panyu. Seven days later, on December 24, the coalition forces of Han Xin and Feng Jie arrived at Panyu.
This time was more than a full month later than Hu Hai's estimate. Hu Hai finally understood why the First Emperor's southern tour took ** months or even a year.
As early as November 20th, Zhang Han's Tiger Ben Army had already arrived at Panyu City. With Zhao Tuo's death, Zhang Han's army basically encountered no resistance all the way to Panyu, so Shi Shiran arrived at Panyu City.
.
What was waiting for Zhang Han on Panyu City was not the Ziying Nan Qin Army who was waiting in full formation, but a group of Mengshi generals who opened the city gate to welcome the Great Qin Heavenly Army.
As for the Southern Qin Emperor Ziying, on the day after receiving the news that Zhao Tuo had committed suicide and opened Huangxi Pass to allow the Qin army to enter, he had already joined Zhao Tuo's younger brothers Zhao Guang, Su Yue, Zhang Liang and others who were willing to follow Ziying.
The fleeing Nanhai civil and military forces and more than a thousand soldiers sailed out to sea to escape the Qin Dynasty in a large ship. Only God knows whether they can find a way out in the vast sea.
Most of those who did not choose to escape with Ziying were Meng clan members, and the majority of these Meng clan members were Meng Yun. They had already opened the gates of Panyu City and waited for Zhang Han's army for several days.
The leaders like Ziying and Zhao Guang escaped, and Zhang Han did not criticize the remaining Meng clan members who wanted to join Da Qin again. He knew very well that the reason why these people did not flee with Ziying was because they were Meng clan members.
It was not his turn to decide how to arrange these people, whether to kill or release them. Hu Hai's edict did not mention these capricious Meng clan members at all, so in the more than twenty days before Hu Hai arrived in Panyu,
, Zhang Han was quite happy getting along with them.
Outside the city of Panyu, countless armies were arrayed. Countless people in ragged clothes gathered on both sides of the road with their young and old. Headed by Zhang Han, a group of generals from the Huben Army and a group of Mengshi generals who had rejoined the Qin Dynasty stood in awe and were waiting.
In the distance, dust was flying, flags filled the sky, swords and guns were like forests, and the cold light was like snow. Amidst the rumbling and sonorous sounds, the support of Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, who had traveled thousands of miles for more than two months, finally appeared in Panyu City, where dozens of people had been waiting for him.
In the eyes of thousands of soldiers and civilians.
The army advanced all the way and began to stop slowly when it was a few miles away from Panyu City. Then as the emperor's troops moved, two temporary imperial guards composed of soldiers from the Qinglong Army and the White Tiger Army began to move forward along both sides of the avenue, occupying a favorable position.
The terrain prevents anyone from doing harm to the emperor.
As the emperor moved forward, the people of Nanhai who were separated by the Tiger Army and then the Green Dragon Army and the White Tiger Army gathered on both sides of the avenue and prostrated themselves on the ground. A group of soldiers including the Green Dragon Army, the White Tiger Army, and the Tiger Army,
They knelt down on one knee and shouted "Long live!" in unison.
The sound rising into the sky seemed to break the natural disasters and violence that had been shrouding South Vietnam for months.
As Ziying went to sea, Zhang Han entered Panyu, and under the order of Hu Hai, he began to open warehouses and release grain, including everyone from Qin and South Vietnamese barbarian women and children to the relief targets.
After the Nanhai was pacified, Zhang Han naturally didn't have to be like Ziying and Zhao Tuo, who wanted to break a grain of grain in half and use it. With the grain, the emotions of the old Qin people who moved to the Nanhai began to stabilize. Without the military disaster, the Qin people in the original Nanhai
Under Zhang Han's order, the army began to collect and bury the corpses scattered everywhere, and helped the people build houses and tide over the difficulties.
Everything began to improve after the arrival of the imperial army. Although many people in the South China Sea had more or less relatives killed in this natural disaster, the living people still have to live, right?
Only when you have hope can you see the light. And this light is given by His Majesty the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty who is preparing to enter the city now. The old Qin people who moved to the South China Sea felt the care from the Ying clan and the Qin Dynasty for the first time, which made them sad.
And inspiring, it goes without saying.
Under the heavy protection of hundreds of cavalry, Hu Hai, who was dressed in black soft armor, wearing a black and gold woven cloak, and a golden helmet, finally appeared in the sight of Zhang Han and others. Before Hu Hai's huge deer, Zhang Han and others were still more than thirty steps away
At that time, under the leadership of Zhang Han, all the generals knelt down on one knee.
"I, my ministers, would like to greet His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
The people of Nanhai at the city gate also shouted loudly in an instant. The shouts of countless soldiers and civilians finally merged together and became the only note in the world.
In fact, it is understandable why the people and soldiers of the old Qin Dynasty in the South China Sea were so excited. The First Emperor always traveled in his luxurious and huge royal crown car, no matter how high the mountain was and how far the road was, but even so, countless people spent their entire lives without a chance.
Seeing the emperor's chariot and crown,
Today, they not only saw the emperor's support, but also saw the emperor's voice and smile at such a close distance. Because Hu Hai was riding a horse.
From Xianyang to Panyu in the South China Sea, there was a tortuous journey of thousands of miles. Hu Hai always rode on horseback like all the Qin troops. The White Tiger Army and the Qinglong Army may not be surprised, but the Qin Army and the people in the South China Sea obviously did not expect that
, you can see the true face of the emperor in this situation.
After waving his hand to the surrounding Dragon Guard soldiers to disperse, Hu Hai rode his horse and took a few steps, saying loudly: "Stay flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Zhang Han and other generals stood up, Hu Hai said with a smile: "Meng Dun, Meng Qi, Meng Si..." Hu Hai named more than a dozen generals of the Meng clan in one breath, and then asked with a smile: "Where are they?"
How many dear friends?"
Meng Dun, Meng Qi, Meng Si and other more than a dozen generals of the Meng clan obviously did not expect that the young emperor would know the names of themselves and others. They were all pleasantly surprised and secretly made up their minds to thank Zhang Han after going down.
.
The emperor had just arrived in Panyu, but he was able to directly name the names of himself and others. It was obviously Zhang Han who reported the merits of himself and others to Panyu when he was doing his meritorious service. Thinking of Xiong Xin in Chu, Zhaotong and others all
After being granted high-ranking officials and generous salaries, could it be that the emperor couldn't wait to add titles and titles to himself and others before entering the city?
Thinking of this, Mengton and the dozen or so generals of the Meng clan who had just been named by Hu Hai all turned red and hurriedly walked out, knelt on the ground and shouted in a trembling voice: "Return to your majesty, the general is here!"
Only Zhang Han took a few steps back silently when he heard Hu Hai naming several people.
"Who are you?" Hu Hai still smiled and his tone became softer.
"The last general Meng Dun (Meng Qi, Meng Si...) is willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"Haha, are you willing to die for me?" Hu Hai couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the words of Mengton and the others. Mengton and the others who were lying on the ground did not see it at all. The young emperor's eyes were slightly narrowed at this moment.
Flashing cold light.
From entering Huangxiguan, Hu Hai saw too many corpses of displaced Nanhai people who died of hunger. Among these corpses were old Qin people and South Vietnamese barbarians in weird costumes. Especially after entering Shimen Fortress, he saw ruins and broken walls along the way.
, people died of hunger everywhere. Even if they saw living people, they were sallow, skinny, and dressed in ragged clothes and were dying.
This was the scene more than 20 days after Zhang Han arrived in Nanhai County to govern Panyu. It was difficult for Hu Hai to imagine what would have happened in Nanhai when Zhang Han had not opened a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief. Cannibalism does not seem to only exist in
According to legend, it appeared in the Qin Dynasty under his rule by Hu Hai.
If it were just a natural disaster such as a tsunami, as long as Ziying and Zhao Tuo opened warehouses to store grain and did not have that dream of yellow rice, so many people would not have died. As for the cause of the barbarian rebellion in South Vietnam, the barbarians of South Vietnam had their reasons, but
The root cause lies in the Southern Qin court.
**, far more terrifying than natural disasters.
Hu Hai's chuckle made Mengton and others who were lying on the ground suddenly feel an unknown premonition.
"I'm willing to die for me! Very good!" The smile on Hu Hai's face suddenly faded.
Mengton and others on the ground trembled when they heard Hu Hai's words, and their bodies fell even lower.
"I will help you! Come and kill!"
Hu Hai's last word "kill" came out faintly, causing all the generals including Zhang Han, Wei Liao, Du Teng, Xu Chuang, Meng Yun and others to tremble, and then quietly and slowly bowed down.
All the soldiers and civilians in front of the Panyu City Gate were prostrate on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, I, the Meng clan, have been guarding the land for Your Majesty for more than ten years. Please spare my life!"
…
When Mengton and others, who were originally flushed and excited, heard Hu Hai's word "kill", they all collapsed to the ground, crying and shouting.
Hu Hai sat on his horse and watched as the soldiers of the White Tiger and Qinglong Army on both sides rushed forward and pushed several people to the ground without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, the general will not accept it! Your Majesty, the remnant of Chu Xiang, can still forgive his sins and be promoted to a noble rank. I, the Meng clan, have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. I have been guarding the land for your Majesty in this wild land of South Vietnam for more than ten years, through life and death.
Instead, he ended up like this. I will never accept it! I will never accept it!"
Mengton saw that the emperor was going to use the heads of himself and others to establish his authority outside the city of Yu. At this moment, he couldn't care so much anymore, so he struggled and shouted loudly.
"presumptuous!"
When Wei Liao heard Mengton's words, his gray beard trembled with anger and he shouted sharply.
Hearing Mengton's words, Hu Hai smiled instead. He knew that he had spared the death penalty of Chu Xiang's thief chief and returned it to Gao Jue, which would definitely make the Qin courtiers criticize him, but he didn't expect that he would encounter it here.
A hundred years have just passed by in a hurry. Hu Hai did not want to say whether the First Emperor's original strategy against Chu was right or wrong. Killing to stop the killing would only make Chu still unable to be pacified. Now that he is already in this position, Hu Hai just wants to be worthy of the
Heart is enough. Although the remnants of Chu Xiang can be killed, after killing them, Great Qin will have to spend a lot of energy to deal with these hatreds. If you spare them once, even if they kill the nine tribes next time, Great Qin will at least win the favor of the world.
He didn't want to waste too much time on internal friction. Besides, the world was about to be pacified, and the reputation of the Qin Dynasty would eventually change.
He waved his hand to stop Wei Liao who wanted to continue talking and the soldiers who were about to chop him down with his sword. He pointed at the countless ragged people lying on the ground in the distance and said: "This is the land you are waiting to guard for me? What are you waiting for from me?"
When you were thieves, did you still remember to protect my land? If you were not from the Mengtian tribe, I might as well have bypassed you like the remnants of Chu Xiang."
As Hu Hai looked away, more than a dozen shining cold lights flashed through, and with a clear "click" sound, more than a dozen blood pillars rose into the sky. The bright sunshine seemed to be tinged with a little scarlet. (To be continued. .Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
