Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

When Ying Wei returned to Xianyang from Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, the ministers were excited, the officials were excited, and there were lights and colorful decorations.

With the end of the battle against Chu, in Qin's view, the great cause of unifying the six countries has been completed, and the next step is the period of development.

And all the officials of the Qin State who participated in this large-scale battle are all meritorious officials, and they will surely inspire future generations, and their lifelong wealth will be before their eyes.

All the officials of the Qin State hope that the Great Qin Empire will last forever. As long as the Great Qin Empire still exists, the glory and wealth of their descendants will be there.

Now, there is only one thing that everyone is looking forward to, and that is the massive rewards that will follow. Everyone will get the power they want and the wealth they want.

It was also under this circumstance that the day after Ying Wei returned to Xianyang, he came to Xianyang Palace and met Ying Zheng alone.

"The third brother is back."

Ying Zheng is sitting behind the desk. When he sees Ying Wei alone, he never wears the crown that symbolizes his majesty. He just smiles.

"My brother pays homage to Brother Wang!"

Before Ying bowed, he finally knelt down and sat on the soft cushion that Ying Zheng had prepared for him.

The two brothers sat opposite each other and were speechless for a while.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment and sighed:" Third brother, it must have been more than ten years since you returned to Xianyang from Xiaoshengxian Village."

Ying Wei also said softly:"It's been thirteen years, Brother Wang."

Ying Zheng also looked in a daze when he heard this:"Thirteen years have passed so fast, and all the loneliness at that time is still vivid in my mind."

"Lu Buwei was very powerful at that time. Although I was angry, I had no choice but to wait for the opportunity."

"The arrival of the third brother is the best time. You and I, brothers, work together to destroy South Korea and defeat Lu Buwei."

"At that time, our brothers said that we would unify the world so that there would be only Qin on this land and no others."

"After thirteen years of struggle, we two brothers have now fulfilled our agreement."

After sighing with emotion about the results of these thirteen years of hard work, Ying Zheng's expression changed again, and he once again became the cold and ruthless emperor, saying:

"But it's not enough. Although the Six Kingdoms have been destroyed, the Huns in the north are eyeing them, and the Baiyue in the south have not yet accepted the orthodoxy of the Central Plains."

"Gu wants to attack the Xiongnu in the north and Baiyue in the south. What does the third brother think?"

Listening to Ying Zheng's ambition, Ying Wei also sighed in his heart. He is truly worthy of being the First Emperor, and he is truly full of martial virtue.

But now it is indeed as Ying Zheng said, although there are six kings, there is still no one in the world.

At least we must After Baiyue takes over, it will be considered that most of the future land of China is truly in its hands.

The area where Baiyue lives today is probably the coastal zone south of the Yangtze River. From a modern point of view, it is along the coastline from the Magic City. Until Guangdong and Zhuang, and even part of Southeast Asia.

As a modern person, Ying Wei certainly knows how rich the south will be if it undergoes large-scale development. The area south of the Yangtze River must be in his hands.

Especially Ying Wei Knowing the value of sea transportation, we also understand that the location of China's land can not only develop land rights, but also sea rights.

The Yellow River is regarded as the mother river, and the sediment of the Yellow River formed the Great Plains, thus bringing fertile land and sufficient food.

However, the water transportation value of the Yellow River is really too low, and the water transportation value of the Yangtze River is even more important. As long as the Yangtze River is well utilized, the Yangtze River coast can be well developed and multiple outlets to the sea can be formed, thereby developing sea power.

Only when sea power is developed, Da Qin's Only then can the flag be planted all over the world and spread all over this planet.

Regarding Ying Zheng's idea, Ying Wei raised his hands and feet to support it, but he still said:"Brother Wang's idea is excellent."

"However, whether it is the northern expedition to the Huns or the southern expedition to Baiyue, it will require huge military and material support."

"Especially the Lingnan land, there are many hills, and logistical supplies are very difficult. If you want to capture the Lingnan land, it is estimated that the price will be very high."

"Therefore, my younger brother believes that it is necessary to sort out the priorities. The Huns in the north will only focus on defense for the time being. They will rely on the Great Wall built by Zhao, Yan and Qin for hundreds of years for temporary defense, and first focus on the land of Baiyue."

"But even if we attack Baiyue, we can't rush it, but we should take control slowly."

"The people of Baiyue are barbarians and do not recognize our Central Plains culture. In this regard, they are completely different from other countries such as Zhao and Chu. If Qin makes a large-scale invasion, it will inevitably encounter great resistance."

"Therefore, I believe that the Baiyue people should be used to attack the Baiyue people. Secondly, there are many forces within Baiyue. Qin should first provoke internal conflicts in Baiyue and let them kill each other, and then take them down in one fell swoop."

What Ying Wei used was nothing more than British colonization.

How did Britain colonize? In fact, it was to provoke local ethnic and religious conflicts, support each other, and create an artificial balance.

In this way, very few people could be used to colonize. Human power can rule a place.

Of course, this also has disadvantages, that is, it is difficult to extinguish hatred after it is provoked. Therefore, this trick cannot be taken too far in Baiyue, because Qin is prepared to directly conquer Baiyue. The more it becomes a territory, rather than a colony.

But when the time comes, all the Qin army needs to do is send its troops south when conflicts with the other party are provoked.

Ying Wei clearly remembers that in the official history, the Qin army paid for Baiyue The cost was beyond imagination.

It can even be said that the Qin soldiers killed and injured in destroying the Six Kingdoms were not as heavy as the cost when attacking Baiyue. It was really too difficult to advance in the south before it developed.

That is why Because there were huge casualties during the attack on Baiyue, coupled with Qin's various major infrastructures, which caused serious internal damage to the Qin State, it gave the remnants of the Six Kingdoms an opportunity to take advantage of. In fact, if you think about it, you will know that the Qin State The tyranny of the Qin Dynasty was so terrible. Palaces were built in various places, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin was built, the Great Wall was built, Chi Road was built, and nearly a million soldiers were sent to garrison the Great Wall and attack Baiyue.

In addition to the losses in the Baiyue area, if it were not for the power of the First Emperor, , the entire Qin State collapsed long ago. This is basically a machine running at extremely high speed.

Therefore, when the First Emperor died, various places were ready to take action. With Hu Hai's chaos, Qin was the second generation to die immediately.

All history books They say that the Qin Dynasty was violent, but one thing must be acknowledged even if it wins.

That is, for the 20 million ordinary people living on this land at this time, Qin's policies written on bamboo slips are good, but in fact What he did was cruel.

Ying Wei actually wanted to ask Ying Zheng to slow down and not make things so urgent. You, the First Emperor, can't do it. My brother can help you do it for a long time in the future.

But Ying Wei Wei didn't know that he couldn't say this. As long as he said it, conflicts would immediately arise between the brothers.

People have five levels of needs, and Ying Zheng already has them all. His only need now is the highest state, which is self. The need to realize.

Therefore, what he wants is to become an unprecedented emperor, to become a true emperor through the ages!

This is why he is so impatient, because he must complete all of this in his lifetime, only Only with such merits can he be high enough. This is what Ying Zheng cares about most now!

The three emperors of virtue and merit are more meritorious than the five emperors. This sentence is not just a talk, but must be done in practice!

However, Ying Zheng For the sake of the future of the Qin State, he still felt that this crazy running machine should be slowed down a little to give it time to rest, so Ying Wei gave his own advice:

"Brother Wang, I have something to say!".
