Chapter 46: Wu Zetian, Liu Bei's Means
Chapter 46 Wu Zetian and Liu Bei's methods
In the history chat group.
Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng @ Wu Zetian and Liu Bei asked: "What is the situation in the Qin Dynasty now?"
Although he was no longer in Daqin, Ying Zheng was always worried and worried that this was the Daqin he established, just like his own child, how could he give up?
Ying Zheng has been in the history chat group for several months, and has only succeeded to the throne in Fusu, Daqin for several months.
Every once in a while, Ying Zheng would ask about the situation in Wu Zetian and Liu Bei and the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin Dynasty has been relatively stable in the past few months, but there are undercurrents everywhere, especially the nobles of the six countries and the gentry are very frequent.
Yue Fei happened to be in the history chat group, "Your First Emperor, you are gone, the mountains above the six kingdoms are gone, and someone will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. However, with the means of Wu Zetian and Liu Bei, you will definitely be prepared."
Zhang Hao, Chongzhen, Zhuge Liang, Bai Qi, Li Bai and others are also there.
The six brothers were originally discussing Yue Fei's marriage in the history chat group, and Yue Fei will marry a girl from Du Ruhui's family in a few months.
At this time, Zhuge Liang, Li Bai and Yue Fei were not in Chang'an. Chongzhen was busy with the firearms, so he had to help prepare for Yue Fei.
Zhang Hao: "Liu Bang, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang were assassinated by Wei Zhongxian, but without them, there will be others fighting against the Qin Dynasty, and a chaos will be inevitable.
Even if Fusu gave up the construction of the Great Wall, the Qin Emperor Mausoleum, the Afang Palace, the Jiuzhou Straight Road, etc. after ascending the throne, implementing tax reduction and exemption, and the national policy of labor service and rest and rest, it will not be stopped in a short period of time.
The long-standing grievances of the six countries need a war to quickly eliminate them.
After resting after the war, the Qin Dynasty should be able to stabilize.”
Chongzhen said: "Not only the grievances of the six countries, the northern Huns will definitely take the opportunity to invade, which will cause the Qin Dynasty to be attacked from both sides and wars in a short period of time, which is inevitable."
Not long after, Wu Zetian and Liu Bei responded.
Liu Bei said: "It has begun. People from the six countries have pulled up rebels in various places, and soon the war has begun."
Wu Zetian: "The First Emperor, please be the crown prince in the Tang Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty will not perish. We are prepared for it. We are very busy now, so let me tell you later."
After saying a few words, they both hurriedly left.
Liu Bang noticed the movement of the history chat group and came: "Wu Zetian, Liu Bei, can they do it? I have seen history in the Tang Dynasty. The uprisings in various places began, but it was difficult to pacify.
Although the Qin army was powerful, they were afraid they could not get out of their way to deal with the people from the Xiongnu and the Baiyue Barbarians?"
In history, the soldiers and horses that guarded the Xiongnu and the Baiyue Barbarians did not join in the quelling of the rebellion. Otherwise, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and other forces would not have destroyed the Qin Dynasty so quickly, and they could not even destroy the Qin Dynasty.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he focused his military focus on two places. One was the Huns in the north. Qin Emperor sent the Meng brothers to lead an army of 300,000 to guard the north, so that the Hu people dared not go south and shed horses. In the south, the First Emperor attached more importance to it. He ordered the southern expedition twice, investing a total of more than 500,000 troops. After pacifying the south, the First Emperor ordered Zhao Tuo and others to guard the south and guard the southern gate of the empire. The army that followed the southern expedition also remained in the south. Although the 50 armies may have moisture, it must not be less than 100,000.
In contrast, how many people were there in the Qin Central Committee? According to historical records, the central government had only 30,000 to 50,000 elite troops at that time, and some soldiers and horses from counties with weak combat power. Emperor Shin-Emperor never expected that it was his policy at that time that left hidden dangers for the demise of the Qin Dynasty.
Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising failed, the world was not pacified. Various uprising troops rose one after another and continued to rise up. The most prominent of these was the Liu Xiang coalition of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
How strong was Liu Bang and Xiang Yu at this time? Xiang Yu's real vitality was his 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers, and the other was the recruitment of some peasants who came to surrender, the defeated rebels, and some officers and soldiers. Together, Liu Bang might not be even as good as Xiang Yu, and he had only a few thousand men.
But such a group of seemingly mobs destroyed the Great Qin Empire, known as the Tiger and Wolf Army, in just a few months. Why? There is only one explanation, that is, they did not encounter the real main army of the Great Qin.
The main force of the Qin Dynasty was guarding the north and the south. When Qin was in anger, Zhao Tuo, who guarded the south, had his own selfishness. He ignored Qin's request for help, but instead adopted a wait-and-see attitude, retained his strength, and prepared for his future betrayal. Although the Qin Dynasty had good generals such as Zhang Han and Li You, it was difficult for a skilled woman to cook without rice and had no one under his command. Although Zhang Han and Wang Li in the Battle of Julu were known as a 400,000 army, most of these soldiers were prisoners, temporary corvee labor, and some soldiers from counties, and their combat power was naturally greatly weakened.
Imagine if the 50 troops of Zhao Tuo from the south went north to provide assistance, would the Liu Xiang coalition army successfully destroy the Qin Dynasty in just a few months? The answer is no! The strength of the southern army was strong at that time? Let’s look at it through two examples. First of all, the army conquered the south was part of the Qin army that destroyed the six countries at that time, and they all came to war for a long time.
Another thing is that after Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he did not recognize the Nanyue Kingdom established by Zhao Tuo at first. For this reason, there was a local war between the two sides. In the end, due to the strong military strength of the Nanyue Kingdom, he had to recognize the legitimacy of the Nanyue Kingdom. From these two examples, we can also see the strength of the Nanyue Kingdom's military strength at that time. If it were not for Zhao Tuo's betrayal and for his own selfish interests, it is still unknown who will kill him.
Zhang Hao said: "The current situation is different from history. It is not that Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, and the Qin court has not yet been disloyal. With Meng Tian and the soldiers guarding the north, even if Zhao Tuo and others in the south have selfish intentions, they dare not ignore the order. At least some of the soldiers can be transferred back."
Yue Fei said: "That's right. Even if Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai killed Meng Tian, the Meng family army would be over after Fusu, and they were decomposed and lost their combat effectiveness. The court was disloyal and Zhao Tuo was worried that Meng Tian would not dare to go back.
But it would be different for Fusu to succeed to the throne. The court would be led by him, and with Meng Tian and Meng's family army in there, the combat power of the Qin Dynasty was still there.
Although the Huns would take the opportunity to cause trouble and restrain many soldiers and horses of the Qin Dynasty, some of them could be transferred to the south. In addition, Zhao Tuo transferred some soldiers and horses back according to orders, so that the uprisings of the six countries could not resist."
Li Bai said: "This is the best opportunity for the people of the six countries to restore the country. They will fight with all their might. This war will be very tragic."
Bai Qi: "How can people not die in war? As long as you pacify quickly, you can die fewer people."
Ying Zheng thought about it and was afraid: "Fortunately, Wu Zetian appeared, otherwise I would be the sinner of the Qin Dynasty."
His arrangement was good, but Ying Zheng did not do well in the crown prince. If he made Fusu the crown prince earlier, he would not let Hu Hai and Zhao Gao succeed.
Although Qin Shihuang was great, he was not perfect!
It is impossible to be perfect if you are a human being!
In Daqin.
At this moment, Wu Zetian, Liu Bei, Fusu and others were far better prepared than Zhang Hao and others thought.
Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang and others escaped Wei Zhongxian's assassination, and now they have risen up, bringing thousands of Jiangdong's children to rebel against Qin and restore Chu!
