Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 158
Qin Wangzheng was 27 years old.

Tu Sui led an army of 50 people, divided into five groups, one group captured Dong Ou, Min Yue, Wu Yue, Han Yue, and Yang Yue, two groups attacked South Vietnam, and the remaining two groups attacked Xi Ou (Guangxi).

The Qin army's first road progressed smoothly, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. Under the temptation of the military industry conferring system, the Qin army was invincible and quickly captured Dongou and Fujian and Zhejiang regions, and then set up Minzhong County here.

Relying on channels, the remaining four armies were fully supplied with food, grass and supplies.

Although the Qin army had an absolute advantage in strength and equipment, it was quickly put down after encountering resistance.

In addition, schistosomiasis and miasma have been properly dealt with by the Qin army, and the four-way army is also progressing smoothly.

The tribal soldiers in Baiyue saw that Qin Jun was not affected by the miasma poison, they were all dumbfounded, their smiles instantly froze on their faces, and their chests seemed to be pressed by a big rock that could not be removed.

The leader of the tribal alliance of the Baiyue Army, "Yi Xuxong", remained silent on the surface, but his heart was filled with shock. He sighed with emotion: "The Qin Army is worthy of being the master of tigers and wolves. Not only is it braver and more powerful than the Chu Army, even the miasma is poisonous." Can you restrain yourself?"

The coalition forces composed of South Vietnam and Xiou were frightened and their legs were shaking unconsciously. They thought they had encountered divine soldiers. Many tribal leaders stood up and asked to surrender.

However, after the Song Dynasty beheaded the leader who wanted to surrender, he re-invigorated his morale and said: "The Qin army is brutal. If we surrender, we will be reduced to slaves and be treated as cattle and horses!"

When the Baiyue Army heard that they were going to be reduced to slaves, they quickly became passionate and wanted to fight the Qin Army to the death.

After the Qin army successfully conquered Nanyue, it went to Xiou. The Baiyue army led by Xiou army, led by Yixu Song, resisted tenaciously and fought fiercely with the Qin army.

The Qin army was struggling and could not enter Xiou.

This made Tu Sui also fall into deep thought.

Baiyue is basically a barren land, densely covered with primeval forests, and the living environment is harsh. The number of Yue people who can fight is estimated to be only one-tenth of the Qin army!

And the Qin army has advantages in numbers and weapons, so why hasn't it successfully conquered Baiyue?

Finally, many soldiers discovered the reason why the morale of Baiyue soldiers continued to rise-translated to Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Tu Sui immediately ordered that any soldier behead Yiyu Song Cijue of the third level, and those who were captured alive would be rewarded with 50 taels.

This sentence was like a raging fire, which ignited the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies.

The soldiers of the Qin army fought tooth and nail to kill the enemy's heads before they could be promoted to the first level of nobility. After reaching the rank of doctor, they had to behead the enemy generals before they could be awarded the nobility. However, they could be directly promoted to the third level and receive endless benefits.

A bounty of 50 taels is enough to support three generations!
The soldiers were gearing up, beating their chests in resentment, wishing they could swarm up and kill Yixu Song.

Under Tu Sui's call, the battle went smoothly the next day, and Yi Yusong died in battle.

Tu Sui originally thought that the land of Baiyue would voluntarily surrender, but unexpectedly, the Baiyue Army immediately elected a new leader, Jie Jun.

Jie Jun is a guerrilla general who is good at fighting in the mountains. He led the Baiyue Army across the board into the mountains and jungles to continue fighting with the Qin Army.

They even did not hesitate to associate with wild beasts, hiding in the mountains and forests, and sneaking attacks on the Qin army from time to time, cutting off the Qin army's food routes, and making the Qin army's situation even more difficult.

However, after the completion of the construction of Lingqu, the grain and grass of the Qin army were transported by boat from the Xiangjiang River, and then entered the Lijiang River through the Lingqu, which could be continuously sent to the front line, providing the necessary military supplies for the Qin army.

With the supply of food and grass, the soldiers of the Qin army have a stable mind and can start a blocking battle with the Baiyue army for a long time.

At the same time, the King of Qin issued an imperial edict, and Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao led the fugitives, son-in-laws, and Jia people to march with the army. Whenever the Qin army occupied a place, some immigrants would stay here.

This not only gave the Qin Army a stable rear base, but also enabled the Qin Army to promptly replenish its manpower consumption, and those merchants operating in Lingnan could also provide timely supplies for the Qin Army's food and wages.

Under various advantageous conditions, the Qin army relied on abundant food and sophisticated armed equipment to launch a large-scale conquest on the battlefield of Baiyue. Wherever the army went, the troops were fierce and powerful, and they defeated the Xixi army without much effort. The remaining resistance forces of the Ou tribe occupied the Xi'ou area in present-day Guangxi and other places.

At this point, after two years of hard work and hard work by the King of Qin, the Qin army completely conquered all the Baiyue tribes in Lingnan.

It's a pity that Tu Sui passed away forever after he fought against Baiyue!

When the news reached Qin Palace, Qin Wangzheng couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart anymore, burst into tears, and cried: "I still set up a celebration banquet for the general, why did the general pass away?"

The news spread like wildfire and spread quickly in Xianyang City. The soldiers and civilians in Qinzhong were greatly saddened and gathered in Guanqian Road to offer sacrifices within three to five days.

After Li Si and Feng Quji heard about it, their legs went limp, their eyes darkened, and they almost fell in front of the case.

The white army was responsible for escorting the coffin to the capital, and the general Zhao Tuo who was escorting the coffin to the north couldn't bear it any longer, and burst into tears together with the soldiers of the three armies.

The torrential rain and the darkness of the mountains and rivers combined the tears and thunder of the soldiers into an earth-shattering elegy.

Along the way to the north, Daozhong Business Hotel parked in the horse, and the people from all over the world came to hear the sound, solemn and sad all over the southern country.

As soon as the hearse entered Hangu Avenue, it immediately fell into the boundless Wangyang Road Festival.

Almost all the old Qin people in the eastern part of Guanzhong rushed out of Hangu Pass. White flags covered the green mountains and forests, and their cries drowned out the rumbling carriages and horses.

Qin Wangzheng also felt sorry for Tu Sui, put down his posture, put on mourning clothes, and knelt on Tu Sui's coffin in pain.

The celebration banquet that was supposed to be happy for Tu Sui turned into a funeral!
The people of the whole country, wearing white clothes and mourning clothes, mourned for Tu Sui for ten days.

At the same time, while the King of Qin was in mourning for Tu Sui, he established three counties in Lingnan: Nanhai County, Guilin County, and Xiang County.

Ren Xiao was appointed as the captain of Nanhai County, assisted by Zhao Tuo, in charge of managing the three counties to prevent the restoration of Baiyue. .

After Zhao Tuo and others took office, they learned the lessons of Tu Sui's massacre of Baiyue people, and implemented the national affinity policy of "harmony with Baiyue" to unite all tribes in Baiyue.

With the arrival of people from the Central Plains, the advanced productivity of the Central Plains was brought to the Lingnan area, promoting local development. Lingnan was officially included in the territory of the Qin Empire.

But the land of Baiyue had just surrendered, and the foundation was unstable, so he followed the advice of the officials and moved 50 people from the Central Plains to the land of Baiyue, intermarried with the Baiyue tribe, and Sinicized them.

Qin Wangzheng spread out the huge territory, with a faint smile on his face, Baiyue and Xiongnu have all been pacified, and the internal and external troubles of the Great Qin Empire have all been pacified.

Seeing a person on the list being crossed out, Qin Wangzheng felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

At the same time, a mechanical sound came from Qin Wangzheng's mind.
