Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 156 Burning Books
The lands of Hexi, Henan, and Hetao were included in the territory of Qin State, and the whole country was filled with joyful smiles.

The Xiongnu and other nomadic peoples have harassed the frontier since the Warring States Period, and they often went south, killing, wounding, looting, and doing everything.

Because of the mobility of the Xiongnu cavalry, the frontiers of Yan, Zhao, and Qin were often persecuted, and the people of the Central Plains hated them.

Especially in Zhao State, because the Huns often went south, they had to build the Great Wall. Li Mu was ordered to lead an army of [-] to guard the frontier. Only then did they learn to deter the Huns.

Later, Zhao Wangqian mobilized the border guards to return to the country, which freed Zhao from the crisis of extinction.

However, the Xiongnu's army took advantage of Li Mu's retreat and directly led the troops across the Great Wall, massacring the people in the Central Plains and intercepting the food and grass. Zhao Wangqian could only watch the people in the frontier fall into dire straits, but he had nothing to do.

Therefore, when they learned that the Huns had been driven back by Meng Tian for more than [-] miles, the people of Zhao State were also happy to defeat the Huns while lamenting Meng Tian's bravery.

The people of the Central Plains united as one to celebrate the great victory of the former army.

After hearing the news, Touman Shanyu gritted his teeth, but to Qin, they were just lambs to be slaughtered. Whether they lived or died depended on the mood of Qin Wangzheng.

Touman Chanyu was even more afraid of the Qin army's iron war horses and had to make other adjustments and attack westward, aiming at the Yuezhi and other countries in the Western Regions.

As long as Mengtian survives, the Xiongnu will not take half a step into Qin.

After defeating the Xiongnu, Qin Wangzheng established Shangjun, Jiuyuan and other counties in Hexi and other places, and ordered Mengtian to continue guarding the frontier.

It's just that Qin Wangzheng's face is not very friendly. A few days ago, news of Meng Tian's victory reached the capital.

The King of Qin held a grand celebration banquet and prepared for the whole country to celebrate, but it was a pity that Kong Yu and Chun Yuyue disturbed it!
From then on, Confucianism was not allowed to set up schools, the doctoral system was abolished, and no one was allowed to propose enfeoffment.

At the same time, Li Si wrote a letter to advise Qin Wangzheng: "Your Majesty, the restoration of the nobles of the six countries is becoming more and more serious, and the various schools of thought are obstructing it, intending to abolish counties and counties and establish separate feudal titles. Their hearts can be punished!"

"However, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms no longer have the strength to restore, but the opinions of various schools of thought have been holding back the thoughts of the common people!"

"Therefore, I request your majesty to burn the books of hundreds of schools of thought, and advocate that people be prohibited from slandering the government by using private knowledge to refer to the past instead of the present."

Qin Wangzheng was about to adopt Li Si's suggestion, but was stopped by Xiao Zhinu.

After all, this is a gamble. Although it is beneficial to the Qin State and can restrain the people's thoughts, for the entire Chinese nation, the burning of a large number of speeches is undoubtedly a huge loss in the history of literature.

Li Si's ideas are too extreme, and it is easy to provoke the dissatisfaction of the people and scholars. Although he doesn't say it on the surface, he secretly slanders Qin.

Qin Wangzheng felt ruthless, and quietly clenched his fists: "I treat Confucian scholars as students. Is this how Confucian scholars treat me?"

"I can bear their ridicule, and their neglect, I can give them a buffer time to accept it slowly, but they actually deliberately plan!"

"Today they are asking for another enfeoffment, and tomorrow they may write a letter to advise me to restore the Six Kingdoms!"

Finally, Qin Wangzheng made a bold decision: burn the inappropriate remarks of hundreds of schools.

However, Qin Wangzheng was a little moved by Xiao Zhinu's persuasion, and ordered that when the poems and books were burned, a complete copy should be kept in Yushifu.

Once the world accepts the benefits of the prefecture and county system, it will not be too late for Qin Wangzheng to popularize it again.

It is a pity that Qin Wangzheng's tolerance did not win the sympathy of the Confucian scholars. Later generations of Confucian scholars tried their best to humiliate Qin Wangzheng for being self-righteous and self-righteous, and smeared him as a tyrant!

Confucian scholars kept accusing King Qin of being violent in government, but they didn't know that what they did was truly cruel!
The outbreak of the book-burning incident caused talented people all over the world to stay away from Xianyang City, a place of right and wrong, and retreat from the world.

But Qin Wangzheng smiled contemptuously, and said coldly: "Students in the world are alienated from Qin, so what?"

"Those students keep claiming benevolence, justice and morality, but they are just talkative people like Zhao Kuo!"

"They are useless except to cause chaos! If they don't come, I will be clean!"

Qin Wangzheng finally spoke out all the words he had suppressed in his heart, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily.

However, the truly talented people did not retire. Instead, they served as chief officials or wardens in a remote small county, or they were thinking about ways to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, or they were fishing under the city, chewing fish in their mouths. There are cakes made by old ladies!
The reason why these people were buried was because Maxima had not yet met Bole.

Therefore, they were just in the small counties and towns of Da Qin, sitting as officials fighting for food.

As everyone knows, a frog is eager to try, and is about to act as Bole and introduce them to Qin Wangzheng.
Zhangtai Palace.

Although the burning of books aroused dissatisfaction among various schools of thought, no disturbances broke out in various parts of the Qin Dynasty.

After years of recuperation and some epoch-making tools, the people have accepted the unified empire in their hearts.

The original celebration banquet was disrupted by Chun Yuyue and Kong Kun. Qin Wangzheng's eyes narrowed, and a trace of evil flashed in his eyes.

But looking at the vast grasslands that have been included in the territory of Qin, Qin Wangzheng found a little comfort in his disturbed heart.

After annexing the Xiongnu, the next target of Qin Wangzheng was naturally the land of Baiyue!

Qin Wangzheng looked fiercely, pulled out the Yue King Goujian sword, pointed the sword to the south, and said indifferently: "After three years of training, when the channel is completed, 50 troops will be recruited, divided into five groups, and the land of Baiyue will be wiped out in one fell swoop!"

The interior of Baiyue is scattered and divided into different tribal alliances. Among them, Wuyue, Hanyue, Yangyue, and Dongouyue, which are close to the north, have been infiltrated by the Chu State for a long time, and they have already become Huaxia. Enter Da Qin.

Therefore, Minyue, Nanyue, Luoyue and Xiouyue in the southern area of ​​Ling and Nanyue became the focus of Qin's conquest.

Although the southern expedition to Baiyue seemed easy, it was very difficult to do.

The land of Chu is vast and rich, but the annexation of Baiyue is also costly and time-consuming. Although Baiyue is a minority and the tribes are scattered, it is not as sharp as the Central Plains' swords, guns, swords and halberds, nor is it as brave as the Central Plains soldiers.

But they are located in the tropical rainforest area, not to mention the high temperature, the rain is also not light, three days with light rain, five days with heavy rain.

Coupled with the rampant miasma, the army may have fallen to the ground one after another before meeting the Baiyue tribe.

The soldiers are not acclimated to the climate, how can they march and fight?

Therefore, the first problem that the army must solve is naturally how to expel the miasma or restrain the miasma poison.

Qin Wangzheng glanced at Xiaozhinu, Xiaozhinu understood Qin Wangzheng's meaning, nodded slightly, opened the space-time rift, and went to another world.
