General Qin

Tu Sui sent the nobles of the Three Kingdoms to live in Liuguo City, which was the biggest event in July.

Because the migration has been prepared for a long time, and there are heavily armed lieutenant troops stationed in Lishan, staring at the Shandong immigrants.

Therefore, this matter was completed smoothly without any accidents.

This made Zhao Tuo nod secretly.

With the clans of these three countries making a good start, there should be no problems in the follow-up migration plan.

He stopped thinking about the Six Kingdoms City, and focused on Qin's military group.

The conversation with Tu Sui made Zhao Tuo realize that the military merit system is a big hidden danger.

As soon as Tu Sui came back from Qi, he had the idea of ​​going south to conquer Baiyue and be promoted to noble.

What about the generals of the Qin State who have been idle in Xianyang for a year, or even several years?

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles.

Zhao Tuo took advantage of his own identity, starting with his own cronies, to test.

"Shejian has been replaced by middle class, and I'm still a right-handed elder. Alas, it's a pity that there was no battle, otherwise I would have to climb to the same title as Shejian. I don't know when the emperor will fight again."

At the reception, under the guidance of Zhao Tuo, Heiyu and others talked about this topic.

Compared with Heibutt's mentality of wanting to compare with Shejian, Zhong Limei and Lu Wan also showed longing for war.

They were born in Chu, and they gained a foothold in Xianyang official circles only by relying on military merits and promotions.

But after all, the two were not born and bred in Qin, nor had they been rooted in Xianyang for decades like Li Si, and their Qin colleagues in the officialdom were somewhat repulsive to them. Although they would not make trouble, they always felt alienated.

Therefore, both of them want to go to the battlefield to make meritorious service. One is to stay away from the Qin land they are not used to, and the other is to make meritorious deeds and be promoted to the ranks so that they can gain a better foothold.

As for Shejian, under Zhao Tuo's special questioning, he also nodded and said: "I want to go to the battlefield to be promoted. Only when the title rises can I help Tuo better."

Shejian's words were very warm, but it also made Zhao Tuo feel frightened.

No matter what their reasons are, after all, everyone wants to fight and be promoted.

They are military commanders, and if they don't fight, half of their abilities will be useless.

These grassroots generals brought out by Zhao Tuo are like this. Those generals who came from generations of generals may only have a stronger desire for war.

Zhao Tuo then made a special visit to the families of military generals such as the Wang family, the Xin family, and the Yang family that he had made friends with.

The situation was exactly as he expected.

Taiwei Wang Ben has retired from the army, and his desire for war is less, but his son Wang Li is just at the age of youth.

Wang Li was very dissatisfied with the fact that he was hidden in the snow during the war of destroying the six kingdoms, and only went out once when Qi was destroyed, and expressed a strong desire for war.

Xin Sheng, Xin Wu and other veterans of the Xin family all have a memory of the battlefield.

Yang Xiong and the others of the Yang family were also thinking about going to the battlefield to be promoted.

The younger generation of generals such as Wang Li, Yang Xiong, and Zhao Ben have learned the art of war for more than ten years, and are responsible for the future of their families. As a result, the war is over before they have fought a few battles.

They are young, but they have nothing to achieve and no title to promote, so they are naturally resentful.

Zhao Tuo was very worried.

But compared to these generals' desire for war, he was more worried about the superior king.

As it turns out, his concerns were not unfounded.

In late July, Shejian, who worked in Taiwei's Mansion, brought him an important news.

The emperor has issued an edict to let Feng Wuze continue to station in the newly conquered Yuzhang, Changsha and other places, and recruit civilians from various counties and counties in Chu to build the road leading to Lingnan.

At the same time, the Taiwei Mansion was also asked to coordinate the troops, and it is very likely that soldiers will be recruited to the south of the river next year.

"This is the harbinger of the Southern Expedition to Baiyue. After all, the emperor can't bear it anymore."

Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched.

Sure enough, even though he dissuaded Tu Sui from asking for a battle with the danger of Baiyue, Shi Huang himself still set his sights on the vast land in the south.

In the state of Qin, it is not only the generals who are eager for war.

Their emperor is the real war madman.

Since he succeeded to the throne of Qin, the world has been in constant war for twenty-six years. The Qin army went east many times to fight fiercely with the princes of Shandong, and finally conquered the survivors of the sixth generation, unified the world, and fulfilled the great wish of the ancestors of Qin.

But after conquering the six kingdoms, the first emperor, who had no goals, suddenly felt that everything was boring.

He started to make books and carts on the same track, unify weights and measures, and unify the currency of the world, in order to transform the world into what he wanted.

Although these major projects are not yet over, they are all on the right track, and the emperor no longer needs to pay too much attention.

The first emperor lost his target again.

He needs a new target.

Having fought for twenty-six years, he is not a king who keeps his own place and rests with the people.

Those idle generals in Qin State who are eager to make meritorious service also need a goal that can make them meritorious and promote them.

At this time, Qin State destroyed Chu, and the Baiyue tribes that had fought against it naturally came to the fore.

Zhao Tuo marched south, defeated Yuyue, surrendered the king of Yue, and made his land Kuaiji County.

Feng Wuze marched south, broke Ganyue, and occupied Jiangxi, making Qin's territory northward.

Judging from the situation of previous battles, the people of Baiyue had no advantage in armor and were vulnerable to a single blow. Coupled with the vast land and resources in the south, they naturally became a conquest target that attracted the attention of Qin's monarchs and ministers.

The First Emperor is now starting to make arrangements.

After figuring this out, Zhao Tuo did not write a letter to make any suggestions.

He couldn't speak before Emperor Shihuang asked, he had to wait.

He is the Shaofu, in charge of all the workers.

The military is the responsibility of the Taiwei, not his control.

Unless the first emperor entrusted this matter to the ministers for discussion at the great court meeting, otherwise he would make a private suggestion, which would be to overstep his authority and intervene in things that are not his responsibility. This is a taboo.

Fortunately, for such a major event as launching a war, the First Emperor followed the practice before unifying the world, and used the wisdom of everyone instead of arbitrarily determined by one person.

At the Great Court Meeting at the end of July.

Sitting on the emperor's couch, the first emperor swept his majestic gaze across the ranks of military generals, took advantage of the opportunity to glance at Zhao Tuo, the young man who was next to Li Si, and formally expressed his thoughts to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

"In the south of Chu, there are people from Baiyue. In the past, they helped Chu and resisted Qin. I hate them very much."

"Shaofu Zhao and General Feng successively settled in the lands of Yue and Ganyue. However, Baiyue's genus has not yet been accepted by the court. I want to send troops to destroy it and make its land Qin County. You can discuss it."

The first emperor's voice was very flat, and his words did not conceal his covetousness for the land of Baiyue.

In the main hall, except for a few people, Zhuqing showed no surprise, and many generals showed excitement.

They waited and waited, and finally the desired war came.

"My state of Qin destroyed Chu, and many nobles from the state of Chu fled south to Yue. The people of Yue took these aristocrats from the state of Chu to oppose our great Qin, and they should be punished."

"Chen Qiang is begging for orders, and is willing to lead an army to destroy it for His Majesty!"

General Qiang Li raised his chest and raised his head, expressing his support loudly.

Veterans such as Xin Sheng, Yang Duanhe also expressed their support.

They are old and will not go to the south to conquer the land, but there are still younger generations in the family.

Launching a war abroad will allow their young clansmen to fight on the battlefield, be promoted to meritorious deeds, and continue their glory.

Zhao Tuo and Feng Wuze's successive victories in Yuedi showed that the Yue people were relatively easy to deal with, so they naturally felt relieved.

The military generals supported it, and there was no voice of opposition among the civil servants. Many people even found out the legitimacy of the southern expedition to Baiyue.

"The people of Baiyue drink blood like hair, and have the bad habit of cannibalism. I heard that there are people from South Vietnam who like to eat people from Fujian and Yue. They eat bones and marrow. They are really barbarians!"

"Your Majesty's sages are now ruling the world. You should take these barbarians and Yue people under your command, change their bad habits, and make them gradually enjoy the Qin wind, showing your majesty's holiness!"

Zhi Su Nei Shi Wang Wu spoke loudly, speaking righteously, as if he wanted to use civilization to transform the land of Baiyue.

Some people quoted classic words to prove the inevitability of Qin's conquest of Baiyue.

"Under the Putian, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers."

"Your Majesty now rules the world, and all the people in the world should be your majesty's ministers. The people of Baiyue are the king's ministers, but they don't obey discipline. I, Qin, will send troops to conquer and let them fall under the emperor. His majesty's mighty virtue!"

Various voices sounded in the temple, but no one objected.

In this piece of support.

However, the first emperor noticed that the Shaofu Zhao Tuo, who was standing beside Ting Wei, looked calm and did not follow Gong Qing.

He frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Tuo.

"Young Mansion Zhao, you have personally led the army to conquer the land of Yue, surrendered the king of Yue, opened up the territory for me, and set up Kuaiji County. You must know the people of Baiyue and have some suggestions."

When the first emperor opened his mouth, all the ministers shut their mouths, all looking at Zhao Tuo.

Sensing the eyes of Emperor Shi Huang and his officials, Zhao Tuo took a deep breath.

support?

Or against?
