Chapter 230 Can Zhao Gao also have a good reputation?
Although Li Nian really wanted to return the land south of Lingnan, or even places farther south, to Da Qin, but with Da Qin's current situation, even if he could do it, the gains would outweigh the losses.
At this time, we haven’t fought against Baiyue, we haven’t captured some parts of Baiyue, and we haven’t started building the Ling Canal yet. So we are rushing to conquer Baiyue. Isn’t that wrong?
Li Niandao: "The land of Baiyue is mountainous, with deep forests and high mountains, and there are many miasmas. Even if our Daqin sergeants are far better equipped and more brave than others, I am afraid that given the advantage of the environment, it will still cause great harm. Casualties."
Hearing this, Wang Jian, Meng Tian and others nodded. Fighting does depend on equipment and bravery, but sometimes the terrain and environment also have a huge impact, determining the outcome of a war.
"Even if Baiyue is captured, it will be difficult to control it for a while. The people of Yue will be convinced but not convinced. If there is no army to guard it, changes will happen. But if a large army is sent to garrison, hundreds of thousands of troops will be stationed in Baiyue..."
< br>There is no need for Li Nian to continue talking, Ying Zheng and the ministers in the palace have already understood that if they lose, they will suffer a loss, but if they win, there will be little benefit, and it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Especially Ying Zheng, he has already thought about what Li Nian told him about Zhao Tuo leading hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in the land of Baiyue, watching the late Qin Dynasty change the king's flag, and then put on his own royal robes to complete the whole process. came out of South Vietnam.
But they mentioned Baiyue because Baiyue is one of the current border troubles of Qin Dynasty, and the terrain there is not like building the Great Wall in the north, so they thought of killing Baiyue and turning it into Qin earth.
As long as I kill all the enemies and turn the enemy's territory into my territory, won't there be no trouble?
Li Niandao said: "The problem of Baiyue must be solved in the future, but not now. Although we cannot immediately start working on Baiyue, we can still send envoys to have friendly exchanges with Baiyue."
We cannot send troops, but we can first send troops to Baiyue. It doesn't take much effort or time to put up some shelves. It would be best if Baiyue can be put up, but it doesn't matter if it can't be put up.
But there is a high probability that Baiyue will not fall for it. Baiyue is not that afraid of the Great Qin. Some of the influences that Great Qin exerted on the Huns may not be possible in Baiyue. If Baiyue gets anxious, they might take action. When soldiers invade, even though they are not afraid of Baiyue, the fight is meaningless.
After Li Nian finished speaking, Ying Zheng and all the ministers in the palace also knew that they had to take their time regarding Baiyue and could not rush.
Actually, they all knew in their hearts that they just wanted to ask Li Nian to see if he had any other ideas.
At this time, Ying Zheng took out a few pieces of paper from his desk and handed it to a chamberlain, "Give it to him!"
The chamberlain bowed and took the paper and sent it to Li Nian: "Master, please Take a look!”
Li Nian took the paper in his hand and saw that what was written on the paper was what the First Emperor summoned him and all of you to do today. The real reason for Qin Chongchen:
There is an incident recorded on the paper. Someone rebelled, and the rebels were the nobles of the six countries in the past. They held the slogan "Fight the unjust, punish Qin violently, kill Qin's dog" The slogan uprising has swept across several counties, and the uprising did not occur in one place, but in multiple places.
There is nothing much to say about "attacking the unjust and punishing Qin", but "killing Qin's dog" is quite interesting. Zhao Gao is actually ranked first among the "Qin's dogs" who need to be killed.
Li Nian also mentioned it on the paper, but he didn't say that he would behead him. He just said that his crime was to aid Qin and to harm him.
Probably this group of rebels also felt that his reputation in the world was too great to directly declare that they wanted to kill him, so they convicted him of helping Qin to commit abuse.
After Li Nian read the contents on the paper, Ying Zheng asked: "What do you think?" After Li Nian thought for a while, he said: "It is better to do it sooner rather than later. These people are like epiphytes. The poison in my country, Qin Dynasty, has now been exposed. The poison is attached to the body surface, like sores and spots. It can be cured by just squeezing out the pus and applying herbs. However, if it is delayed until later, the poison will enter the lungs. When the time comes, I will think about it. It will be difficult to heal."
Wang Wan nodded and said: "That's true. Those rebels have long been rebellious. It's only a matter of time before they rebel. If it drags on for a long time, Let them accumulate their strength, which will only make it more difficult to solve. They chose this time to rebel. They obviously felt that the situation was critical and jumped over the wall in a hurry."
"This also proves that after unifying the world, the policies adopted by Great Qin are correct. It is no longer possible for others to sit behind the scenes and watch the rise and fall of Great Qin, and they have to show it in front of others!"
Many strategies of Great Qin are pressing harder and harder, gradually Compressing the living space of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms and those who are anti-Qin, leaving them with nowhere to go and nowhere to live.
The nobles of the six countries could survive after the destruction of their homeland because they relied on the local people. The people supported them and believed in them, so that they could hide themselves, that is, the people's hearts were with them.
In the original history, because the First Emperor, Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao were not human beings, the people's hearts were always with them, which allowed Xiang Liang to escape from repeated violations, and even became a celebrity in Wuxian County. Even Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, knew that Xiang Liang was talented. After the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, he summoned Xiang Liang to discuss important matters.
It can be seen from this that although the form of the Six Kingdoms was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, its roots have not been broken and are still affecting the world. Because their roots are in the hearts of the people, every time the Qin Dynasty misbehaves, it will take root. Deeper, let people miss their original homeland.
Although the motherland is not a thing, the current Great Qin is neither, and will even kill them, so it is better to have the motherland, thus becoming the nourishment for the nobles of the six countries to summon the souls of the six countries.
However, under the influence of Li Nian, the First Emperor made some changes, which caused the giant ship of Da Qin to sail on another path. He introduced a series of policies that won the hearts and minds of the nobles of the six countries to Da Qin. Disintegrating the foundation of their existence.
It is easy to hide when trees are hidden in the forest, and when fish live in rivers, it is easy to hide. But nowadays, the nobles of the six countries have lost their forests and rivers. How can they hide better?
Wang Wan glanced at Zhao Gao and praised: "Fu Ling Zhao also played a great role in this. If Fu Ling Zhao hadn't sent people to collect evidence of his crimes and show them to the public, how could he have made him rebel so quickly? ?”
The words are compliments, but Zhao Gao doesn’t feel right. If possible, he, Zhao Gao, would rather not take this credit. What kind of work does he do?
Collect the crimes of the nobles of the six countries, and then let the public inform the people, and also let the victims or relatives and friends of the victims come forward to give their own testimony, so that the people everywhere can understand, "The nobles we trust have actually committed such evil deeds? They are simply a bunch of beasts!" , thus cutting off the roots of the nobility of the Six Kingdoms.
Nowadays, there are rumors in many places that Da Qin had a deputy commander Zhao who liked to speak out for those who were harmed by the nobles of the old country. He was a well-deserved good official of Da Qin!
Who knows that Zhao Gao doesn't want it at all. The work he did has offended the six princes. If he loses power, without the blessing of Emperor Qin, he will die without a burial place.
Ying Zheng also spoke at this time: "What the Prime Minister said is true. Zhao Gao has made great contributions. When this rebellion is put down, I will be rewarded heavily!"
Zhao Gao really doesn't want it. This reward, thunder, rain and dew, was all for your kindness. How could he refuse it? He could only pretend to be grateful and said: "I, Zhao Gao, thank you for your kindness!"
Li Nian watched with interest. Zhao Gao obviously didn't want it, but the First Emperor insisted on rewarding it: "No, if Zhao Gao died at this time, wouldn't it have fulfilled his good reputation?" Mr. Qingtian, Deputy Order Zhao will redress the grievances of the people? ’
