General Qin

Zhao Tuo led the army to garrison Linzi, recruited pro-Qin forces in the city, and with the help of these local wealthy families, stabilized the situation in Linzi and prevented the hundreds of thousands of Qi people in the city from changing.

At the same time, he sent generals to carry the imperial edict built by King Qi to persuade them to surrender, and divide the cities of Qi.

More than 70 cities in Qi, and the land north of Jishui have fallen into the hands of Qin.

Therefore, the Qin army's attack this time was mainly concentrated in the vast area south of Jishui.

Meng Tian led his army to the south, with the goal of attacking Jucheng until it bordered the southern area that originally belonged to Chu State, and completed the occupation of the southern part of Qi State.

The reason why Zhao Tuo sent Meng Tian to fight in this direction was because Meng was originally from Qi.

Meng Tian's eldest father, Meng Ao, was born in the vicinity of Mount Meng to the west of Jucheng.

This piece of land is where Meng Tian's ancestral home is. Letting Meng Tian lead his army to attack here can make the Qi people in a large area around Meng Mountain feel close and weaken their will to resist the Qin army.

Another Qin general, Zhao Guang, led his army to the cities of Yun and Zhu, along the Great Wall of Qi, and went straight to Langya in the southeast.

As for the Shejian Department on the last road, it has the heaviest task and has the most soldiers.

Shejian will lead the army to attack Qi (Chunyu), and then cross Weishui and Jiaoshui to capture Jimo, the largest city on the Jiaodong Peninsula. .

The three Qin armies attacked separately, aggressively.

The people of Qi hadn't fought for decades, but now they received news that 300,000 troops were defeated in Zhencheng, the great Sima committed suicide, the Qin army occupied Linzi, King Jian of Qi surrendered the whole country, and issued an edict to persuade all cities to surrender to Qin. The people have long been panicked and have no intention of fighting.

If it is said that Qi Wangjian died in Linzi, the Qi people from all over the country may still be inspired by this bloody courage to resist the Qin army.

But now it is Qi Wangjian and Manchu Gongqing who voluntarily surrendered, which caused a great psychological impact on Qi Ren, and directly lost the will to resist.

In addition, in the hands of the Qin army, there are also the Qi captives captured before as temptations.

As long as you surrender obediently, the Qin army will immediately release the captives, allowing the Qi people to reunite their families and reunite their father and son.

Under such circumstances, wherever the Qin army passed by, the cities of Qi State opened their doors and surrendered.

In a short period of time, Meng Tian and Zhao Guang's two armies of Qin completed their strategic mission and occupied the southern part of Qi State.

Only Shejian 1st Road ran into a wall outside Jimo City when he was conquering the Jiaodong Peninsula.

Jimo is the big city of Qi State and the base of Tian Dan Fu State in the past.

Many people in this place have the same sense of mission as Jimo doctor Tian Lang.

There are even Jimo people who compare the current situation with the time when the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi in the past.

He fantasizes that Jimo is the only city left in Qi, and then a character like Tian Dan will appear, lead them to fight against the Qin army, restore the land of Qi, and reshape the legend of the past.

Jimo is the hope of Qi.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Shejian besieged but did not attack, and used thousands of Jimo prisoners captured under Zhencheng and Linzi cities to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Qi people in the city, triggering internal fighting among the Qi people in the city, and the families of those prisoners opened the city gates to let the Qin army enter the city.

After entering the city, Shejian was not relentless, and killed all the Jimo people who took the lead in resisting, and piled their heads outside the city to deter them.

Then he released the captives and appeased those Qi people who had surrendered to Qin.

With the combination of grace and power, Jimo, the last great city of the Qi State, also surrendered to the sword and halberd of the Qin army.

Now that Jimo has surrendered, the remaining small towns of Qi State on the peninsula will naturally lose the will to resist.

But within half a month, Qin's black flags were planted all over Qi.

In the world, there are no more cities flying the Qi flag, indicating the true demise of the Tian family Qi State.

In the city of Linzi, when the news came that the Qin Army of the Three Routes had occupied the entire Qi State.

Zhao Tuo let out a long breath of relief.

"The land of Qi is more than 2,000 miles away, and more than 70 cities have fallen into my hands. Qi State has finally perished."

Zhao Tuo was very happy, and immediately wrote a letter by hand, and then ordered Li Shang to send envoys to Xianyang day and night to report the good news that the Qin army occupied Quanqi to the king.

At the same time, during the time when the Qin Army of the Three Routes captured the entire Qi State, the Qin Army also basically grasped the situation of the Tian clan in Linzi and surrounding cities.

After occupying Qi, Zhao Tuo will start the second move.

"Historically, the restoration of the Six Kingdoms at the end of the Qin Dynasty was led by the families of the Six Kings. Among them, the Tian clan's kings were numerous and powerful. This time, the Tian clan's people were moved to Guanzhong by taking advantage of the prestige of destroying the Qi state."

"Qi without the Tian clan will definitely be much easier to govern. Even if there is a rebellion in Qi in the future, it is impossible for people from the Tian clan to come out and claim to be the king of Qi and win over the people of Qi."

Zhao Tuo thought secretly in his heart, and picked up the list on the case to look at it.

When he was in Xianyang, he proposed the strategy of migrating princes and nobles and strengthening the rich and powerful clan, which was adopted by Qin Wangzheng.

But this matter has a lot to do with it. If it is not handled properly, it is easy to force the newly conquered city back.

In addition, the number of officials in the Qin State is still insufficient, and the grammatical officials who were recruited last year are still in the process of training. If Qin State wants to control the newly conquered Qi, it still needs to rely on the local rich and powerful clan to complete it.

Therefore, after the court's discussion, the migration strategy needs to be carried out separately and according to local conditions.

This time, when Zhao Tuo destroyed Qi, his main task was to take away the Tian clan in Qi, and leave the local rich and powerful merchants alone.

The Qin army not only did not move these wealthy families, but also cultivated pro-Qin factions among them to assist the Qin army in managing the local area, helped them to the top, and appointed them as local officials, replacing the original Tian's status with these people.

This method of attracting the local wealthy and moving the Tian family away can greatly avoid the turmoil and resistance of the local Qi people.

In order to seize the property, power and other things after Tian's departure, some rich and powerful, driven by interests, will show more enthusiasm than Qin Jun and help Qin Jun isolate Tian's clan.

This is what later generations call uniting the majority and striking the very few.

The members of the Tian family were the very few who were hit this time.

Shocked by the demise of the Qi State, threatened by the swords and halberds in the hands of the Qin army, under the example of Tian Jia and other nobles and nobles who brought their clan wealth to the west, and under the persecution of the rich and wealthy everywhere who are waiting for the superior.

The Tian clan in each city thought that there would not be many people who would resist, so they could only obediently pack up their wealth, and the people of the clan were escorted west by the Qin army to Guanzhong.

There, they will settle down under the supervision of countless Qin people, and as time goes by, they will be assimilated by Qin people.

In addition to the Qi Guotian family, Qin Jun led his troops back to Xianyang, and also migrated along the way to Wei Guo and South Korea's Gong Clan Qiangzong into Guanzhong.

The land of Wei and Han is the only way for the Qin army to return to Guanzhong. The return journey of the Qin army can just be done on the way by the prestige of destroying Qi, without any effort.

As for the noble relatives of Chu, Zhao, Yan and other places who are not on the way, they have to wait for the next batch.

After a large number of grammatical officials in the Qin State are cultivated, they will slowly migrate and rotate in batches, and finally achieve the purpose of exchanging blood for the land of the Six Kingdoms, strengthen the control of the Qin people in the hometown of the princes, and eliminate the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. posed threat.

"Order the guards from all over the place to win over the local rich and powerful, and after the preparations are sufficient and the list is sorted out, they will start to move to the Tian clans from all over the place."

Zhao Tuo spoke solemnly and passed the order down.

At the same time, he also sent an order to Tu Sui in the rear, asking Tu Sui to rush to Linzi to preside over this event.

The migration of the Tian family into the customs involves a wide range of aspects, and it cannot be completed in a short while.

It will take a long time just to count the Tian clan lists of the newly conquered cities, and it will take even longer to move these people from Qidi to Guanzhong, at least until next year.

Zhao Tuo, as the chief general of the attack on Qi, still needs to escort the captured three kings, and Qi and Dai's ministers, concubines, and treasures back to Xianyang to offer captives. This is a major event, and it is impossible to stay in Linzi to handle it The matter of migration.

After he set a rough policy, he will hand over the matter to the deputy general Tu Sui to preside over it, while he himself will lead the elite to Puyang to escort the three kings to Xianyang.

Of course, Tu Sui and many other soldiers of the Qin Army who stayed in Qi to preside over this matter will also receive corresponding achievements and rewards, and there will not be many complaints.

Zhao Tuo put the silk book in his hand on the case and looked up to the west.

"I want to go back."

I'm going to the hospital for an examination tomorrow, and I don't expect to be able to go home until the afternoon, and the update should not be until evening.
