The State of Yan was driven to the cold and barren Liaodong, and the State of Zhao retreated to Dai County to survive. The State of Chu, which dominated the south, split into two States of Chu.
Seeing that no one could stop him, Ying Zheng directly arranged for Lu Buwei and Li Si to ascend the throne and become emperor.
King Yingzheng of Qin adopted the method of enfeoffment and the coexistence of prefectures and counties, and directly divided the world into forty-eight prefectures and counties. The king was the nominal highest official of a county, followed by the governors of each county. Only the princes whose borders were far away from the Central Plains could
There will be real power.
Officials at all levels are appointed by the emperor, and even kings are divided into three levels: county prince, prince, and hereditary prince. Currently, only the heads of the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi are eligible for hereditary princes.
The fiefdom that belongs to me has also been reduced to one county, and at the same time, it has no real power and has only become the "mascot" of the place. In this way, Qi Wangjian, Han Wangan and Wei Wang feel lucky, because they are currently the only three
Hereditary inheritance.
After Ying Zheng proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately named Prince Chengjiao as King of Lu and guarded the land of Qilu.
Ying Xi was canonized as King of Wu, and took control of the military and political power of Wu County, and participated in the war of annihilation against the Chu State.
The Chu State, which was already on its last legs, was in panic all day long. After Ying Zheng proclaimed himself emperor and conquered the world, he completely lost the will to resist. Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, saw that there was nothing he could do, so he simply led his neck and killed his country.
After the Chu State was destroyed, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng officially canonized Mi Qi as the King of Chu, and the fiefdom was Sishui County, which was near Daze Township where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang later revolted.
Looking at the jubilant Chu King Mi Qi, Ying Zheng had already arranged his future. It would be better if he could appease the original Chu people, but if there is still a rebellion, as the King of Chu, he must be punished.
After the Chu State was destroyed, all the eyes of the Qin State were fixed on the Zhao State and the Yan State. Then Yingzheng ordered Wang Ben to lead an army of 100,000 Qin troops to attack Liaodong. After destroying the royal family of the Yan State, he stationed 50,000 Qin troops in Liaodong to take over.
Come down to prepare for the destruction of Korea.
Because Prince Dan of Yan assassinated Ying Zheng, after the Yan royal family was destroyed, no new King of Yan was canonized.
Meng Wu saw that both Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son had contributed to the destruction of the country. However, as the general of Qin, he had been fighting with Zhao for so many years and still allowed Zhao to survive. Meng Wu suddenly felt aggrieved.
When Ying Zheng ordered Meng Wu to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Zhao Guo who had retreated to Dai County, Meng Wu suddenly went crazy and attacked. Because as soon as Zhao King Yan retreated to Dai County, he collapsed on the bed and couldn't stand it. So Zhao Guo
All power fell to Prime Minister Guo Kai.
In order to please Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, Guo Kai designed to kill Li Mu and tied up Julu Hou Zhao Mu and sent him to the Qin military camp.
General Meng Wu led his army to directly control the temporary palace of Zhao State and captured all the royal families of Zhao State. Ying Zheng still did not canonize the new King of Zhao.
...
"Your Majesty, now that the world is unified, Xianyang Palace should be overhauled to shock the world!"
"Well! What Prime Minister Lu said makes sense! It's just that now we need to restructure and reset controls as soon as possible! My dear friends, what do you think?"
Hearing Ying Zheng's question, the ministers in the hall all whispered to each other. Then Li Si looked around and saluted Ying Zheng on the dragon throne, "Your Majesty, I suggest the system of three ministers and nine ministers."
"The three princes are the prime minister, the Taiwei and the imperial censor. The nine ministers are Fengchang, Langzhongling, Weiwei, Taipu, Tingwei, Dianke, Zongzheng, Zhisu Neishi and Shaofu."
"Yeah! Not bad! Do other ministers have any objections?"
"I agree!"
"Well! If that's the case, let's temporarily implement the system of three ministers and nine ministers!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
When the ministers heard that Ying Zheng said it was temporary, they realized that Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng was not satisfied with this system of three ministers and nine ministers.
In fact, Ying Zheng wanted to implement the Ming Dynasty's six-ministry cabinet system, but he was worried that people today would not understand it, so he was prepared to change it slowly.
"Confess Lu Buwei as the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, and command all officials in the world!"
"Your Majesty Lu Buwei accepts the order and expresses gratitude!"
"Confess General Meng Wu as Taiwei, commanding all the troops in the world!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your kindness!"
"Confess Li Si as the imperial censor to assist the prime minister in commanding all officials in the world!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Li Si has received the order to thank you!"
...
Now that the world is unified, the Xiongnu and other foreign tribes that Yan and Zhao faced at the beginning have become the top priority of the Qin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, regarding the Xiongnu, I suggest building a Great Wall to connect all the Great Walls built by various countries."
"No! Building the Great Wall costs a lot of money, and it may not necessarily eliminate the alien race. Other dear friends have other methods!"
Hearing that Ying Zheng directly refused to build the Great Wall, the courtiers in the main hall once again showed confused expressions, because when countries such as Yan, Zhao, and Qin faced foreign invasions, they all used to build the Great Wall.
Looking at the confused expressions of the ministers below, Ying Zheng also shook his head helplessly. Didn't Queen Mother Xuan of Great Qin set the best example when she dealt with the alien Xirong?
Blind defense can't solve the problem at all. Qin Shihuang went to great lengths to build the Great Wall, but later generations were unable to stop the invasion of foreign tribes.
Liu Bang, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, was pinned to the ground and rubbed by the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun, and almost lost his life. The following emperors could only rely on marriage to maintain peace.
Therefore, the real way to eliminate the alien races is to integrate the alien races into oneself. Without the integration of Xirong into the Qin Dynasty, there would not be the unification of the Qin Dynasty today.
"Wang Jian! Meng Tian!"
"I'm here!"
"I order Wang Jian as the commander-in-chief and Meng Tian as the deputy-general to lead an army of 200,000 to guard the Xiongnu front line in Donghu, using offense as defense!"
"My lord, I obey the order!"
"Yao Jia!"
"I'm here!"
"I order you to assist Wang Jian and Meng Tian to build cities in various places of the Xiongnu and Donghu, attract the Xiongnu and Donghu herdsmen to live in the city, and issue them with the identity certificates of our Daqin! And teach the children of the herdsmen to learn the writing and knowledge of our Daqin, and treat them as equals. People of the Qin Dynasty."
"Yes! Your Majesty! I obey your decree!"
"Dear ministers of Great Qin, blindly defending the foreign races will not solve the problem at all. In fact, Queen Mother Xuan has set a successful example for us, which is to integrate the foreign races into our Great Qin and become part of our Great Qin."
"Yao Jia, I continue to order you to contact the leaders and chanyus of the Xiongnu and Donghu tribes. As long as you accept the canonization of Da Qin, you will be able to live in peace."
"Your Majesty, I obey your decree!"
Yao Jia was really excited. These were all his specialties. Yao Jia felt very honored that he could still be reused by the First Emperor Ying Zheng.
When Lu Buwei and Li Si heard Ying Zheng's series of orders, they were shocked in their hearts and lamented that the First Emperor Ying Zheng had already begun to consider the issue of the Xiongnu and Donghu.
I have to say that Ying Zheng’s big stick and carrot can really solve the alien problem completely.
Not only that, the reason why Ying Zheng let Wang Ben lead the army in Liaodong but did not directly attack Weiman North Korea was that after conquering the Donghu and Xiongnu, he planned to recruit the Xiongnu and Donghu troops to attack Weiman North Korea.
There is also the Lingnan area. Yingzheng is also preparing to recruit the Xiongnu and Donghu to form an army. In addition, recruiting the local indigenous people in Lingnan will definitely solve the Lingnan problem without harming the vitality of the Qin State.
As for the Central Plains of Qin State, it is still mainly about recuperating and recuperating, and then setting up a few standing legions in the field to guard the world's foreign affairs and let them slowly accept the rule of Qin State.
This was a long and arduous process. Ying Zheng knew that he could not rush too much and could only work hard little by little.
Ying Zheng believed that with his own prophets and the gathering of outstanding people of this era, he would be able to do better than the Western Han Dynasty in later generations.
