Guangzhou is an extremely important estuary and prosperous place now, while Panyu in the Warring States Period was a remote countryside. The entire city covers only three or five miles, and it is simply made of stone strips. It is very rough and has no rules.

If such a city is placed in the Central Plains, it is not a big deal, but it is the largest city in Baiyue.

Wang Jian rode a tall horse and stayed outside Panyu City, looking at Panyu City, and couldn't help but feel speechless.

"Although the land of Baiyue is poor, it is easy to govern. If the State of Chu can manage the land of Baiyue well and obtain the power of Baiyue, you should look at the world." Ying Zheng stayed beside Ma Wangjian and looked at Panyu for a while, feeling very moved.

"What the prince said is that although the land of Baiyue is vast and sparsely populated and extremely poor, it is rich in resources. If it is well managed, the national strength of Chu will be further improved. Unfortunately, Chu only knows how to compete with China for hegemony and consumes all its limited national strength in the Central Plains." Meng Tian highly agreed with Ying Zheng's words.

Now that the battle to Panyu means that the Baiyue Land has been pacified, the experience of Ying Zheng, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and Wang Ben is basically over, and the identities can be disclosed.

"Crown Prince, tell me why the Baiyue land is easy to control?" Wang Jian raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with a flash of light, and he wanted to test Ying Zheng.

"Since crossing the Five Ridges and entering Lingnan, Zheng was very moved when he saw it along the way." Ying Zheng said with emotion: "Although the Yue people did not know the power of the Central Plains, they were simple, which was easy to control. Second, although the land of Lingnan was very different from the Central Plains, it was very hot. The crops could be ripened twice a year or even three times a year. As long as they were well managed, the land of Lingnan must be a rich place. Yue people had food, clothes, and could live and work in peace and contentment, and would not rebel again. Third, the Yue people were scattered and lived in tribes. There were only a few hundred people in small tribes, and only a few thousand or 50,000 people in large tribes. This was easy to control."

Everything Ying Zheng said is the truth. The land of Baiyue is really easy to manage. Since Qin Shihuang pacified Baiyue, he had only had a brief betrayal at the end of Qin. That was because Zhao Tuo blocked the Five Ridge Channel and cut off contact with the Central Plains. After Liu Bang pacified the world, Baiyue asked to surrender again.

Of course, this kind of surrender is just a delaying strategy, because the economy of Baiyue is extremely needed by the Central Plains. Not to mention anything else, as long as the Han Dynasty has an economic blockade, Baiyue will not be able to stand it and he will not be able to soften it.

Another important reason why Zhao Tuo decided to rebel was that Empress Dowager Lu acted indiscriminately and angered Zhao Tuo.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, troops were sent to pacify Baiyue. Since then, there has been no major recurrence in the Baiyue land, which can be said to be easy to govern.

The reason why Baiyue land is easy to control is that, first, because the Baiyue people are simple, as long as they give them food and clothes, they will not rebel again. Second, because Lingnan has fertile land and the climate is hot, it can be done twice a year and even three a year. As long as the governance is done properly, food and clothing are not a problem. Who is willing to rebel? Third, Yue people are scattered everywhere, cannot gather together, and have no backbone, so they can be divided and controlled.

"Okay! Pick!" Wang Jian's eyes flashed, and he greatly praised Ying Zheng's insights.

Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and Wang Ben also focused on the key points and agreed with this statement.

"Those who get the barbarian land are not only Chu, but also Qi and Daqin." Ying Zheng continued: "Taigong was granted the title of Qi, but at that time Qi was occupied by Dongyi. Taigong defeated Dongyi, owned its territory, and governed its people. Therefore, Qi was dominated by Qi, and Qi was the great prince, and he admired the world. Daqin Mugong combined more than 20 Western Rong countries, obtained Rong and governed Rong people, so that Daqin became the dominant Qin. Daqin and Qi could get the barbarian land and eventually respect the world. However, Chu had such a vast barbarian land as Baiyue, but could not be governed and could not use the power of Baiyue, and eventually destroyed the country. It is really a pity!"

The barbarian land is synonymous with bitter and cold. However, as long as the governance is done properly, it can also become a rich land. Qi and Qin are excellent examples.

The Baiyue land obtained by Chu State is thousands of miles away. If Chu State can manage it well, its strength will have a qualitative leap, and it will definitely be a dominant world and no one will be an opponent.

Unfortunately, the eyes of the kings of Chu State from all generations were just staring at the Central Plains, wanting to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains. Even the heroic ruler of Chu State, King Zhuang of Chu was no exception. The hundreds of years of battle for hegemony resulted in the fact that the Chu State used up all its limited power and became weaker and weaker.

Ying Zheng's words were so reasonable, and Wang Jian and the others agreed very much.

After entering Panyu, Wang Jian ordered a rest.

During the rest period, Wang Jian actively prepared to eliminate the remnants of Baiyue forces and then march.

After a brief rest, the Qin army launched a large-scale move and began to sweep away the remnants of the Qin Dynasty and stabilize the situation.

At the same time, three large armies were sent to continue the battle.

The first route was the 100,000 Qin army entered Jiaozhi, which is now Vietnam, and wanted to conquer this area because it was also a land of Baiyue.

The second route was for the Qin army with 20,000 crossing the Qiongzhou Strait, entering Hainan Island, and pacifying Hainan Island.

The Qin army, with a third route of 50,000, crossed the Taiwan Strait and brought Taiwan back to its territory under the leadership of Li Erlang.

These three armies all came out together and were in a state of unstoppable momentum. Without encountering decent resistance, they quickly completed the mission.

At this point, the Baiyue Land was completely pacified, and the next thing was to wipe out the remaining forces and stabilize the situation.

From Changsha to the end of the main war, the Qin army took a total of seven months and expanded thousands of miles of land, which was a rapid progress.

This is all due to the full preparations of Qin Yiren, especially the construction of Lingqu and the establishment of Guilin Camp! The massive amount of supplies made the Qin army have no worries.

In history, it took several years for Qin Shihuang to pacify Lingnan. Among them, Tu Sui, the commander of the Qin army, died in Guilin, which was very expensive.

The reason was that Qin Shihuang did not prepare for storing food and grass in advance. When the Qin army attacked the front line of Guilin, the logistics was insufficient and the 500,000 troops could not be replenished, resulting in the delay in the war.

Although Qin Shihuang adopted Shi Lu's suggestion to build the Ling Canal, the construction of the Ling Canal took more than two years, and it would not be possible to fight without delaying it.

Of course, this cannot be blamed for Qin Shihuang, and no one expected it. Qin Yiren is a modern person who is familiar with this history, learns from Qin Shihuang's lessons, and prepares in advance.

The Qin army spent another three months to sweep away the rebellious forces in various places, and the situation in Baiyue finally stabilized.

Xianyang, the imperial palace study room.

Qin Yiren wore a crown and a royal robe, knelt on a short table, and was reviewing the memorial.

At this moment, Han Fei happily came in, greeted Qin Yiren, and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

Qin Yiren waved his hand and said, "Give up."

"Your Majesty, this is the military newspaper of the General." Han Fei looked happy.

"Han Fei, you have written all the good things on your face. General has pacified Baiyue, right?" Qin Yiren asked with a smile.

"Yes." Han Fei said endlessly: "The Qin Dynasty's troops were launched this time, and it took only ten months to stabilize the Baiyue land and expand the land for thousands of miles. It's amazing."

"It is indeed amazing to expand the land for thousands of miles in ten months." Qin Yiren focused his head, took the military newspaper, and opened it. It was Wang Jian's memorial to report the victory, which explained the progress and the results of the march.

Qin Yiren put down the military newspaper and said to Han Fei: "Go and call the Prime Minister, Li Si, Wang Wan, Fan Zeng, and Meng Wu, let's discuss the next thing. Yes, Fan Sui also comes."

Although Fan Sui retired and was extremely talented, it is appropriate to listen to his opinions.

Han Fei took the order and went to handle it.

Qin Yiren looked at the military newspaper, nodded frequently, with a look of relief.

The Baiyue land is now Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan Island and Vietnam. It was taken down by the Qin Dynasty, which means that China is more complete. This is a great joy, can Qin Yiren not be relieved?

Not long after, Fan Sui, Huangshigong, Li Si, Wang Wan, Fan Zeng, Meng Wu and others were full of joy.

Come in quickly and greet Qin Yiren.

Qin Yiren waved his hand and asked them to sit down, ordered people to send tea, shaking Wang Jian's military newspaper, and said, "You should all have received the news that the General has pacified Lingnan, and the situation in Lingnan has stabilized. The Qin Dynasty has spread thousands of miles of land. This is a good thing, a great thing!"

"Haha!" Everyone laughed loudly, and there was great joy.

"After the Baiyue is pacified, there will be only one Hun. What should Qin do next? Let's talk about it." Qin Yiren smiled on his face.

After Qin wiped out the Shandong countries and unified China, there were only three alien races, including Baiyue, Xiongnu and Donghu. Now, Baiyue and Donghu have been defeated, and only one Xiongnu is left. It is time to discuss dealing with the Xiongnu.

"Your Majesty, I think the battle with the Huns takes a long time. It's autumn now, so it's not suitable to use troops against the Huns." Fan Sui's eyes flashed and he said slowly: "It is advisable to dispatch a large army to go north and station in the north to rest and wait for a large-scale outbound border in the spring of the year."

"I agree!" An echo sounded.

Fan Sui's words make a lot of sense. Ten years ago, although the Huns were wiped out by Qin Yiren, and they have not yet recovered their vitality, they are still not to be underestimated. First, because the desert is vast and boundless, it is very difficult for the Qin army to fight against the Huns in the desert. Second, because the Huns have recovered a lot of strength so this fight will cause considerable trouble for the Qin army.

Therefore, this battle will take a long time, not something that can be solved in three or two months, and will take at least a year or two.

It is autumn now, and winter is about to come, which is not a good opportunity to use troops. The army should be transferred to the north for rest. In the spring of the following year, it will go out of the frontier, and the troops will be launched in the desert and directly attack the Huns' nests.

"Yes." Qin Yiren praised Fan Sui's words very much, and said with a key point: "If you want to defeat the Huns, the Qin Dynasty must launch a large number of troops. At present, the army in the north is not enough, and troops must be dispatched from Lingnan. You said, how many troops will be left to garrison Lingnan."

"The land in Lingnan is very large, and it is also new. I think the troops stationed should not be less than 300,000." Huang Shigong pondered slightly.

"I think so too." Li Si and the others agreed in unison.

After all, the land of Lingnan is not small, and it is newly established, so there should not be too few troops stationed. Otherwise, once a rebellion occurs, there is not enough troops and cannot be wiped out immediately, and it may lead to a disaster.

Everyone discussed for a while, but no one had any objections.
