Yang Wengzi and his party returned to Xianyang in only three days.
After arriving in Xianyang, Yang Wengzi did not dare to delay and hurriedly asked to see the First Emperor. The southern border was an important border area, so the First Emperor naturally would not ignore it and summoned Yang Wengzi to the palace.
Yang Wengzi entered the house and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Yang Wengzi, is here to see you. Your Majesty will live forever."
Ying Zheng asked: "How is the current situation in southern Xinjiang?"
Yang Wengzi was stunned and said in a deep voice: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have just heard the news recently that Can Jun, the new leader of Baiyue, is integrating the Baiyue tribes and intends to raise troops to invade Qin."
"Over the years, Da Qin and Baiyue have been at each other's throats, and they have been attacking each other. The two sides have long been at war with each other, and the Baiyue tribe is very familiar with the surrounding environment. The dense forests in Lingnan are like clouds. It is difficult for Da Qin to detect signs of the enemy sending troops. If things go on like this, southern Xinjiang is afraid
It will no longer be stable.”
"Your Majesty, please make your decision."
Ying Zheng looked solemn and said coldly:
"This Canjun really knows how to find time. The army is far away in the north right now, and the southern territory is vast and sparsely populated. There are many soldiers who need to be stationed. In addition, the southern territory is vast and sparsely populated. Unless the Qin Dynasty uses several times, or even dozens of times, of
Crush them with force, otherwise they will always have a chance to breathe."
"Canjun is fighting because Da Qin cannot send out troops!"
"but."
"He underestimates Da Qin too much."
"If he really dares to invade Qin with all his troops, then I will directly send troops to kill him!"
Yang Wengzi said:
"Your Majesty is wise."
"This military report was sent by a Jian who I inserted into the Baiyue tribe a few years ago. I am certain about this."
"And it is indeed as His Majesty expected. Can Jun was the leader of Baiyue at the beginning, but he was eager to confirm his identity. In addition, this year, the old generals Wang Jian and Meng Wu passed away one after another. The war in the north has not stopped, and the Central Plains has been frequent.
There was turmoil, and now the book-burning incident in Guanzhong has also spread to southern Xinjiang, so Canjun has the idea of raising an army."
"I think we should severely attack Canjun's ambition!"
Ying Zheng laughed and said: "What kind of wolfish ambition does Can Jun have? What is my old Qin man's nickname? He is a tiger and wolf. If he really dares to invade, he will never come back."
"Last time Great Qin did not lose to Baiyue, but lost to the environment. Because of the food and grass supply issue, Great Qin could only retreat in anger. Now that the Lingqu Canal has been built, the food and grass supply problem has been completely solved. This time
, I want southern Xinjiang to be peaceful in one battle!"
Ying Zheng is very ambitious.
A flash of fighting spirit flashed in Yang Wengzi's eyes.
He has been stationed in southern Xinjiang for some time. Compared with the grand opening of the invasion of the six countries, stationing in southern Xinjiang is extremely frustrating. They are often uncomfortable with the environment, so malaria and other diseases break out from time to time in the army.
The Yue tribe was like monkeys in the forest, very scurrying around and retreating with every attack. They did not give Great Qin a chance to fight head-on, which made them miserable.
In terms of military strength, strength, and equipment, Da Qin has the upper hand. However, the reality is that it has to hide in the city and can only wait for Baiyue to invade. Now His Majesty seems to have the intention to completely pacify Southern Xinjiang, how can he not
Happy?
However, at this moment, Yang Wengzi felt his throat felt dry and itchy, and he couldn't help but cough a few times.
Ying Zheng frowned, looked at Yang Wengzi and said, "Are you sick?"
Yang Wengzi quickly raised his hands and said:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"After I heard the news, I didn't dare to delay at all, and I rode my boat and horse all the way. When I left Panyu, the weather in southern Xinjiang was very hot, but when I arrived in Guanzhong, it was already chilly, and I was still wearing thin clothes. I'm afraid it was
I caught the wind and am feeling a little unwell, so Your Majesty needs to worry about it."
Ying Zheng has no doubt that he is there.
Nodding and saying:
"The weather in Lingnan is very hot. You are running all the way, and you are hot and cold. In addition, you don't have many clothes to prepare. It is indeed very easy to catch cold. I will ask a few imperial doctors to take a look at you later. Da Qin is in the midst of employing people.
You can't fall down."
Yang Wengzi said gratefully:
"Thank you for your majesty's concern. I am in my prime, so this minor illness will not bother me. Now I just want to be a pioneer for your majesty, calm down the chaos in Baiyue for your majesty, and restore peace to the southern border of Qin."
Ying Zheng laughed with satisfaction and said:
"Okay, but it will take some time for the imperial court to mobilize troops, and it won't be long before the spring plowing season. Even if I want to quickly conquer Baiyue, I can't miss the farming season. Da Qin should send troops after the spring plowing."
"First tell me about the current situation in Lingnan."
Yang Wengzi naturally obeyed.
He said: "After the last army's defeat, the army chose to defend the city. However, after getting familiar with southern Xinjiang, the army actually sent troops to annihilate the Baiyue tribe many times. During that time, while the leader of the Baiyue tribe was newly dead,
Without a leader, Da Qin fought a few battles quickly and eradicated several arrogant tribes around it."
"But after the new leader was established and the Baiyue tribes reunited, the army was still unable to advance. It could only use Guilin and Xiangdi as buffer areas for both sides. It was not because the army was slacking off, but because of acclimatization that broke out several times in the army.
"
"Many soldiers suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, did not want to eat, and often fell into a coma. In less than half a month, they were reduced to skin and bones. They were so weak that they could not even lift a spear. Naturally, we could not use the soldiers' lives to encircle and suppress them. Therefore,
That’s when it became the tug-of-war it is today.”
"..."
Yang Wengzi became very talkative at this time.
Tell everything that has happened in southern Xinjiang in recent years.
Ying Zheng listened quietly and expressed emotion from time to time. When Yang Wengzi had finished speaking, he asked him to step aside and asked him to see a doctor.
Sit on the table.
Ying Zheng's eyes closed slightly.
For Lingnan, he is bound to win.
Over the years, there have been reports of disturbances in Lingnan from time to time, and almost all of them were damaged on the Qin side. This made Ying Zheng unbearable. Now that Baiyue is showing signs of encroaching on the territory on a large scale, this actually gives Da Qin a chance to decide in a battle.
But Canjun's idea is not wrong.
Because Da Qin really couldn't mobilize many troops.
Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 troops stationed in northern Xinjiang. It is impossible to mobilize them back in a short time. To completely pacify southern Xinjiang, hundreds of thousands of troops also need to be mobilized. Although Daqin has a large population, it is not practical to recruit so many troops rashly.
Some difficulties.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ying Zheng has always had a concern.
In these years of fighting in the north and south, most of the people from Guanzhong have relied on the children of Guanzhong. If the children of Guanzhong are recruited this time, the number of old Qin people in Guanzhong may be less than 30%, and most of them will be old, weak, sick and disabled. Guanzhong will undoubtedly become very empty.
.
Nowadays, the overall situation in the world is not yet peaceful, the undercurrent of Shandong's restoration is still raging, and hundreds of schools are increasingly deviating from the imperial court. If Guanzhong shows its emptiness again at this time, it may really lead to great danger.
This was also why he had already decided on a strategy to attack Baiyue, but had not yet chosen to mobilize his troops. It was because of this consideration.
Ying Zheng was sitting on the table.
He said calmly:
"After the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it was our Lao Qin tribe who had been trapped in Longxi for hundreds of years and was able to preserve the western territory of China. Only our Lao Qin tribe, which had been dealing with the Rong and Di in the west for hundreds of years, was able to gradually unify the Rong and Di. The people of Lao Qin were Huaxia
Having preserved the vast Western land, we should also preserve the vast South China Sea for China.”
"The land of Lingnan is vast."
"In terms of area, it is equal to the two old Qin states. Its vastness and richness are truly a great treasure of China. Its sea area is even home to large fish, prawns and other sea creatures that have never been heard of in the world.
, there are endless green forests and seas, and there are almost endless trees to cherish.”
"If we don't take these gifts from God, it will be a pity for the world."
Ying Zheng's eyes became more determined.
It was at this time.
Ying Zheng suddenly felt that his throat was dry and itchy. He couldn't help but cough a few times. He frowned and felt something was wrong, but he still had some luck in his heart. In addition, there were indeed a lot of political affairs recently, so he didn't take it to heart in the end.
Up, I continued to review the memorials.
At noon.
It started to rain lightly outside.
It's freezing cold.
Ying Zheng felt his body getting colder and colder. He first called the maid and put on thick clothes for himself, but he still felt cold. At this time, he finally realized that something was wrong.
He quickly sent for the imperial physician Ling Xia Wuji.
As soon as Xia Wuji entered the palace, he heard Ying Zheng coughing violently.
"His Majesty?"
"Cough cough cough."
Xia Wuji's face changed slightly. He had realized something was wrong and shouted again: "Your Majesty."
"Come forward~" Ying Zheng shuddered and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Xia Wuji's expression completely changed.
He quickly saluted, then walked quickly to Ying Zheng, and then looked at Ying Zheng carefully. Although he had not yet made a diagnosis, he could clearly feel that the Emperor's body was alternately cold and hot, and even breathing became difficult.
.
He quickly knelt down and started diagnosing seriously.
At the same time, he kept giving orders to the surroundings, asking the maids to prepare some hot water, and also asked them to call Zong Zheng Yingteng.
Xia Wuqie is not without any brains.
The First Emperor had been overworked during this period, and his health was not as good as before. If he was infected with cold or other diseases, given the current physical condition of the First Emperor, there might really be problems. He did not dare to be careless.
Today, the Qin Dynasty is all tied to the First Emperor.
Nothing can happen to the First Emperor.
and.
The Qin Dynasty has not yet established a crown prince.
Once something happens to the First Emperor, big problems will arise.
He dare not be careless.
The condition of the First Emperor was not yet clear at the moment, but there was nothing wrong with being cautious. He hurriedly gave a few instructions to the others and immediately started diagnosing the condition.
However, Xia Wu didn't even think of it himself.
He just asked the eunuch on the side to call Zongzheng Yingteng, but the news of the First Emperor's illness spread like wildfire for some reason. However, Xia Wuqi didn't know it himself. He was still trying his best to diagnose the First Emperor's condition.
.
Ying Zheng's consciousness was a little blurry at this time.
He sometimes shouted hot, sometimes cold, and his face was very ugly. Xia Wuqi covered Ying Zheng's forehead with a cloth soaked in hot water. At the same time, based on Ying Zheng's current condition, he gradually treated Ying Zheng's disease.
judge.
Not long after.
Zongzheng Yingteng rushed to the side hall in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the palace, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how is your Majesty doing now?"
A wry smile appeared in Xia Wuji's eyes, and he lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty's illness came really suddenly this time, and the illness came on quickly, violently, and urgently. In my opinion, your Majesty may not have contracted a simple cold."
