    As soon as the enthronement was completed, Qin Yiren immediately called together the ministers who cared about their orders, including Fan Sui, Wang Jian, Li Mu, Sima! Shang Lisi, Han Fei, Cai Ze, Fan Zeng, Meng Ao, and Meng Wu, to discuss important matters.

    Qin Yiren glanced at the crowd and saw faces filled with joy, as if they had eaten honey.  It's no wonder that Qin Yiren ascended the throne and became the emperor. This was an unprecedented event. They were attending the grand event, so they couldn't help but be unhappy.

    "You are very happy, aren't you? I am also very happy. After hundreds of years of hard work, the Qin Dynasty finally succeeded and unified China. This is an unprecedented event since the founding of the world by Pangu. You should be happy." Qin Yiren  With a smile on his face, he changed the subject and said, "However, I have to remind you that governing the world has just begun and you still have to work hard."

    "Thank you for your instruction, Your Majesty." Fan Sui and the others looked stern and accepted the instructions in unison.

    "After King Wu of Zhou conquered the Shang Dynasty, he thought that the world was stable and there would be no worries from now on, so he let his horses go to Nanshan and stored his swords and guns in his warehouse. He took it for granted. Is the world really peaceful like this?" Qin Yiren shook his head slowly,  He was quite disdainful and said: "Not long after, the swords and weapons rose again, and the Zhou Dynasty had to conquer again. Because of this stupid move of King Wu of Zhou, the Zhou Dynasty suffered a lot. Confucius and Mencius, these two pedants,  He is still bragging about King Wu of Zhou and praising him for his benevolence, but this is nonsense. Da Qin must not make such a mistake."

    King Wu of Zhou put his swords and guns into the treasury and released his horses to Nanshan, signaling to the world that the Emperor of Zhou had no intention of engaging in military revolution. Its influence was profound, both good and bad.  The good thing is that it is reassuring that there will be no more weapons-related disasters in the future.  The bad side is that those with ulterior motives are secretly happy. Your swords and guns have been put into storage, your horses have been released to the south, and you no longer want to fight, then it will be my turn.  This is tantamount to fueling the dissent of those people, and eventually the weapons will rise again.

    Of course, its influence goes far beyond that. When Sima Yan unified China during the Three Kingdoms era, he was bent on imitating King Wu of Zhou in storing swords and guns and releasing horses into Nanshan. He wanted to disarm the people, which caused an uproar and triggered a big controversy at the time.  In the end, the Jin Dynasty really lifted a lot of its armaments.

    This incident led to the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings". When the Eight Kings rebelled, the Jin Dynasty discovered that it had no weapons. Although it suppressed the rebellion of the Eight Kings, it caused the decline of the Jin Dynasty and was unable to fight against the Hu people in the north. The final result was  The great division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties that lasted for hundreds of years caused chaos in China.

    "Great Qin cannot behave in such a pedantic way, and its military equipment should be constantly prepared." Qin Yi said in a solemn voice with a solemn face.

    Although Qin unified the world, the remnant forces in Shandong are still there. If King Wu of Zhou did what King Wu did and sent troops to Nanshan and put the swords and guns in the warehouse, it would be tantamount to telling these remnant forces that you can rebel, I will not be able to suppress you.  Qin Yiren would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

    "The only way to prevent these remaining forces from daring to move is to not relax our military readiness. As long as you dare to take the lead, just come over and say yes."

    This makes sense. Fan Sui and the others all nodded in agreement.

    "The world has been settled for the first time. We should rest and recuperate. We should no longer use swords. There are two places that must be solved with swords." Qin Yiren raised his right hand, extended his two index fingers, and said: "The first is to pacify Lingnan, and the second is to defeat the Xiongnu."

    After Qin unified the world, it was inevitable to pacify Lingnan and defeat the Xiongnu.  This will be the largest-scale battle against foreign enemies in Chinese history. It is very exciting, and Fan Sui and the others are all excited.

    "As early as the late summer and early Shang Dynasty, people from the Central Plains entered Lingnan and spread the civilization of the Central Plains. By the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, more Central Plains people entered Lingnan due to the wars in the late Shang Dynasty. Especially during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period  , the world was in chaos, the princes were trying to conquer the country, and the people were miserable in the Warring States period. In order to avoid the war, a large number of people from the Central Plains entered Lingnan, which greatly promoted the development of Lingnan." Qin Yiren looked solemn and said: "After more than a thousand years of  With the development, Lingnan has become very close to the Central Plains. If we cannot merge with Lingnan, we will be ashamed of our ancestors."

    The entry of people from the Central Plains into Lingnan can be traced back to the late summer and early Shang Dynasty, but not many people entered Lingnan at that time.  At the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, it was a climax for the Central Plains people to enter the Lingnan land.  After this wave of climax, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars broke out frequently in the Central Plains. In order to escape the war, many Central Plains people entered the Lingnan area. This was another wave of climax.

    These Central Plains people who entered Lingnan brought advanced civilization and advanced technology, which greatly promoted the development of Lingnan. Compared with the Central Plains, although there is still a gap, it has been greatly shortened.

    It can be said that the land of Lingnan is a "colony" developed unintentionally by the Central Plains.

    Although Chu State has nominally conquered the land of Lingnan, it is unable to control it. If you want to obey the land of Lingnan, you can obey, and if you don't want to obey, you can resist. Chu State's possession of Lingnan is in name only.

    No matter what, the land of Lingnan is closely related to the Central Plains and must be captured. Otherwise, we will be ashamed of our ancestors."Your Majesty is wise!" It is already a consensus to pacify Baiyue and occupy the land of Lingnan. Fan Sui and the others will not have any objection.

    "As for the Xiongnu, you all know that they are a serious trouble in the north of China. If they are not eliminated, the north will not be peaceful." Qin Yiren's face was solemn and he said coldly: "Decades ago, the Xiongnu went south in large numbers. Fortunately,  Zhao Yong defeated it, which severely damaged the Xiongnu's vitality and had to retreat to Mobei to recuperate. Ten years ago, the Xiongnu wanted to take advantage of the Qin Dynasty's large-scale eastward advance to go south. Fortunately, the great father was wise and accepted Li Mu's request for help and gave up the eastward advance.  , I led 300,000 Qin warriors to march north, and in the battle of Hetao, I annihilated millions of Xiongnu people. Over the years, the Xiongnu retreated to Mobei, and are recuperating and accumulating strength. In a short time, they will go south again, so  , Da Qin and the Xiongnu will inevitably have a life-and-death battle."

    The bitter cold in Mobei, although it is the rear area of ??the Xiongnu, allowing the Xiongnu to recuperate and accumulate strength, however, the Xiongnu will not stay in Mobei for long.  As long as the Xiongnu's strength is restored, it is inevitable that the Xiongnu will go south, and there will be a battle with the Qin Dynasty.

    "In the past, there was great chaos in the Central Plains. The princes fought hard and could not be twisted into a rope. Their power could not be concentrated. Even the powerful Qin could not completely defeat the Xiongnu." Qin Yiren's voice became higher and he said: "Now, the Qin has unified the world.  The strength of the Great Qin has become stronger, and it has the ability to completely defeat the Xiongnu. I am determined that the Great Qin will invade Mobei this time, destroy the Xiongnu's lair, and prevent the Xiongnu from causing harm to China."

    Who doesn¡¯t know the dangers of the Xiongnu? Who doesn¡¯t?  Who wouldn¡¯t want to defeat the Huns and restore peace to China?  Qin Yiren's words touched everyone's hearts, and everyone's eyes shone brightly and they were extremely excited.

    "Just tell me how we can accomplish these two things." Qin Yiren said to the crowd.

    "Your Majesty, I believe that in order for Great Qin to complete these two things, it must do one thing first." Wang Jian was the first to speak and said: "This matter is to redeploy the army of Great Qin. In the past, Great Qin only had one camp in Lantian, but now the world is unified  , this no longer applies.¡±

    "Good!" Everyone praised in unison.

    Lantian Camp is the most important military camp of the Qin State and the largest military camp in the world, which is in line with the situation at that time.  Now that the world has been unified and the territory of the Qin Dynasty has become wider, a Lantian camp can no longer meet the needs, and it is imperative to redeploy the Qin army.

    "Wang Jian, tell me how to redeploy?" Qin Yiren nodded slightly.

    "Your Majesty, I think we should set up barracks in Xinzheng, Daliang, Jicheng, Linzi, Ying, Shouchun, and Changsha, and divide the troops to garrison and guard various places." Wang Jian had already thought of a plan.

    "I agree." Fan Sui and others greatly agreed, and no one had any objections.

    "That's very good, I think so too." Qin Yiren rushed to Wang Jian and said: "The re-deployment of the great Qin warriors will be handled by the general and Li Mu."

    Wang Jian is a general with high authority and this matter is his responsibility.  As for Li Mu, he has outstanding talents. Although he is not a general, he is still convincing. He should also participate.

    No one has any objections to this matter, and everyone praises it.

    "Leave it to Li Mu to plan the defeat of the Xiongnu, and let the general plan to pacify North Vietnam." Qin Yiren said to the two of them.

    Li Mu has been in the North for a long time and is most familiar with the Xiongnu. It would be best for him to take the lead in planning this matter.

    "Your Majesty, I think it is not difficult to pacify Baiyue. The difficulty lies in how to ensure the logistics." Wang Jian said the urgent matter.

    Although Baiyue is large, it includes parts of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Vietnam and Zhejiang, which is now the entire South China.  However, Baiyue is internally divided, and it does not have as strong economic strength as the Central Plains. It is not a problem for Qin to pacify Lingnan. The problem is whether it can ensure the logistics of the Qin army.

    Historically, Qin Shihuang sent an army of 500,000 to pacify Lingnan. The Qin army fought very smoothly at first, and soon captured what is now Guilin.  Then, the problem came. Logistics supplies were not available. It was difficult to supply enough food and grass through the dangerous roads in Wuling. The Qin army had no food to eat and no clothes to wear. The Qin army was almost hungry and fought with low morale.  The morale of the military is unstable and the combat effectiveness is low.

    What is even more painful is that Tu Sui, the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, was killed in a Baiyue sneak attack.

    ??If the logistics are not solved, South Vietnam will be difficult to pacify.  Wang Jian is indeed an outstanding military genius, and his words hit the mark.

    Historically, when Qin Shihuang pacified Lingnan, Wang Jian had already died of illness.  If he were still alive, maybe with his keen insight, he would have discovered this problem first, and the Qin army would not have fought so hard.

    "What the general said is very reasonable, but how to solve this logistical problem?" Fan Sui was also worried.

    ?? Before the troops and horses move, the food and grass go first, and the food and grass are oppositeThe importance to an army goes without saying, everyone can understand it.

    The roads in Wuling are difficult to travel. It is a fool's dream to transport enough grain and grass through Wuling. Everyone frowns and is very anxious.

    "It doesn't matter. I have already arranged this matter." Qin Yiren said: "Call Zheng Guo."

    Meng Zhao accepted the order and hurriedly went to lead the people.

    Not long after, Zheng Guo came in with his student Shi Lu.  The two of them greeted Qin Yiren, and Qin Yiren said to Zheng Guo, "Zheng Guo, last time we were in Changsha, how was the survey I asked you to do?"

    "Your Majesty, I feel guilty about this matter and have nothing to do. However, my student Shi Lu has a wonderful idea, so let him speak." Zheng Guochong said to Qin Yiren, cupping his fists.
