Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 456 Troubled Times Cultivate Heroes, Heroes Dominate the World

Troubled times cultivate heroes, and heroes rule the world.

In the minds of the leaders of all tribes in Baiyue, Zhao Tuo is that hero.

And Zhao Tuo was very clear about their thoughts.

After all, the advancement of the Central Plains goes far beyond farming methods.

If all the tribes in Baiyue support Zhao Tuo as the leader, judging from Zhao Tuo's past character, he will definitely not treat Baiyue badly.

Besides, this place was originally the territory of all ethnic groups in Baiyue.

Even if Zhao Tuo was thinking about himself, he would let all ethnic groups in Baiyue integrate into the lives of the Qin people.

The day when the whole clan does not have to suffer from hunger and depends on the sky for food is simply a great attraction for all ethnic groups in Baiyue.

After the Great Qin unified the six countries, its soldiers were strong and its horses were strong. After conquering Baiyue, it has been heavily stationed.

Over the past ten years, how has Baiyue been affected?
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo simply stopped pretending.

He was going to have a showdown with the patriarchs of various clans.

"This kind of rebellious words, you should not say it in the future!"

"As for the latest disaster, it is indeed a trouble."

Zhao Tuo hypocritically said: "Don't worry, I will write a letter to His Majesty to seek justice for you!"

"What did the county lieutenant say? You Qin people sometimes look forward and backward when doing things, which is very unpleasant." A patriarch shouted.

"What do you mean by that?"

"When Zhang Han came to Baiyue, he neither met nor consulted with the various ethnic groups. He did it immediately when he came up. This clearly does not recognize us. Why are we being polite to him?"

"This"

Zhao Tuo showed a look of embarrassment: "I'm afraid this is not true.".
"The county lieutenant doesn't have to worry too much, just make arrangements and leave the work to me."

Another Patriarch of Baiyue laughed and said, "Even if Baiyue is ineffective, you can still blame us for all the crimes!"

Zhao Tuo pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

At the same time, the Qin army camped.

The person responsible for testing Baiyue and Zhao Tuo was Zhang Han.

Since Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun recognized that Zhao Tuo had a problem, they were ready to attack him.

Because the war on the Huns was tight and it was difficult to deal with Baiyue, Zhang Han was sent to Nanhai County to test the waters.

But the tribes of Baiyue repeatedly refused to cooperate, so Zhang Han had to order to attack several small tribes.

At this time, it was getting late, and Zhang Han returned to the barracks.

As soon as he sat down, someone announced that Zhao Tuo, the county lieutenant, was invited.

Zhang Han looked disdainful, he could see through Zhao Tuo's face.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zhao Tuo would be so bold as to make himself king.

Although Zhao Tuo respected the first emperor on the surface, he often violated the first emperor's decrees secretly.

Faced with Zhao Tuo's unruly intentions, Zhang Han had already written a memorial and secretly sent someone to memorialize the first emperor.

"Zhao Tuo asked me to go over to negotiate now. It's nothing more than a cliché. He advised me to restrain myself."

"At present, I'd better stay still and stabilize him first, waiting for His Majesty's order."

Zhang Han made up his mind and went to Nanhai County where Zhao Tuo was.

As soon as Zhao Tuo saw Zhang Han, he said with a smile: "General Zhang Han can come to Baiyue, Baiyue is really full of splendor!"

"General Zhao Tuo is famous all over the world, Zhang Han dare not compete with you."

Zhang Han said with a half-smile: "I heard from the messenger Sima that General Zhao Tuo asked me to discuss the matter of Baiyue? I don't know what it is?"

"Of course it's about the destruction of Baiyue!" Zhao Tuo said bluntly.

Destroy Baiyue?

Is this Zhao Tuo crazy?

Although he didn't believe it in his heart, Zhang Han still had some doubts: "Isn't Baiyue the territory of my Great Qin? Why is it destroyed?"

Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to pacify Nanyue, but after I took office, I discovered that the situation in Nanhai County is complicated. The people of Baiyue are very good at hiding, so I had to pretend to be friends with them."

According to Zhao Tuo, he and Ji Baiyue were trying to confuse all ethnic groups in Baiyue.

Those Baiyue people are like mice in the ditch.

The difficulty for the Daqin army to destroy them is that they can't catch people, not because they don't have the strength to destroy them.

All ethnic groups in Baiyue live in the deep mountains, and their hiding places have always been kept secret.

Every time Qin Jun received a message to dispatch, he always returned without success.

Zhao Tuo made up his mind to solve this problem.

During this period of time, he made friends with the Baiyue tribes, and he had already obtained the location of the Baiyue base camp from them.

"So, the county lieutenant actually wants to do the old thing of Li Mu destroying the barbarians?" Zhang Han was surprised.

Zhao Tuo nodded, and then he took out a map.

"On this map, the topography of the Baiyue settlement and the checkpoints they set up nearby are marked. Now the information is clear, and the general's achievements are at this time!"

After receiving the map, Zhang Han couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

Just follow the map to find the place where Baiyue lives.

This battle will definitely conquer Baiyue completely.

Knowing that he had wrongly blamed Zhao Tuo, Zhang Han bowed deeply.

"It was Zhang Han who misunderstood the county captain before. If this battle is successful, you will be the first to contribute!"

Zhao Tuo smiled sadly and said, "It is my lifelong dream to pacify Nanyue. I hope the general will be successful. The day when the general teaches is the time when the two of us return to the north."

Zhang Han nodded emphatically, then turned and left.

For this expedition, Zhao Tuo did not send troops to Zhang Han, and Zhang Han did not say he would.

He fed mosquitoes for half a year in South Vietnam and trained [-] elite soldiers, which were also his headquarters.

If he knew the location of Baiyue's settlement and he couldn't destroy it, it would be his own incompetence.

Zhang Han didn't stop all the way, hurried back to the barracks, and ordered troops overnight.

Then, [-] Qin troops plunged into the deep mountains of Lingnan.

After Zhang Han left, the lights of the county captain's mansion stayed on all night.

That night, Zhao Tuo issued three orders one after another.

He first used the excuse that he had received a secret order from Emperor Shi Huang that Asuka was not allowed to enter and exit South Vietnam.

The army is required to seal off all important transportation areas in Lingnan, and no one is allowed to leave or enter.

The second decree is to require the four counties of Panyu, Longchuan, Boluo, and Sihui under Nanhai County to fully open the restrictions on Baiyue people.

All ethnic groups in Baiyue can enter and leave these four counties freely.

Moreover, he emphasized in the decree that all ethnic groups in Baiyue must abide by the laws of Qin in Nanhai County, otherwise they will be dealt with strictly.

The last decree was to allow intermarriage between Qin people and Baiyue.

As soon as these three decrees came out, there was an uproar in the entire Nanhai County.

However, since South Vietnam has been completely blocked by Zhao Tuo, the news cannot be transmitted at all.

And Zhang Han, who was the only one capable of resisting Zhao Tuo, had plunged into the deep mountains at this time.

the other side.

After receiving the memorial, Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang the next day.

Because of the great victory over the Huns, Ying Zheng issued an order to celebrate with the whole country.

The celebration is scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival five days later.

In fact, there was no such thing as the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Qin State before. It was Zhao Kun who suggested that Yingzheng add this festival.

Ying Zheng, who retreated to the second line, liked the feeling of giving himself a vacation, so he readily agreed.

Moreover, he is planning to announce Zhao Kun's wedding date to the world on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although Zhao Kun is helpless about this, but the matter has come to this point, he can only agree to the marriage.

It's not that he doesn't want to marry Wang Ya, it's just that he doesn't want to take responsibility prematurely.

But some things are out of control.

At this time, Zhao Kun was living in the King Qin's courtyard in Xianyang City.

This courtyard belongs to Fusu.

Because the Prince's East Palace was still under construction, he moved to the newly built King Qin's Courtyard.

In addition, Fusu has been handling government affairs in the palace, and the Qin King's other courtyard is also vacant, so Zhao Kun asked to move here for a short period of time.

"Son!"

Peach Blossom came over with a lantern as if offering a treasure.

Zhao Kun was stunned, looked at the waiting in Taohua's hands, and praised against his will: "These two fat ducks are very cute."

"My lord, this is, this is a mandarin duck!"

Zhao Kun's words made Taohua's pretty face flush, and she stared at Zhao Kun resentfully.

"what?"

Zhao Kun reacted for a while, and asked a little puzzled: "Why are you painting mandarin ducks? Are you thinking of spring?"

"My lord, what are you talking about? I'm still young, how could I do those indecent things!" Tao Hua argued with a blushing face.

"If I remember correctly, you should be older than me, and your figure is so small."

"me"

Taohua blushed even more at Zhao Kun's words, and wanted to make an excuse, but she didn't know what to say.

At this time, Lu Su came over with a smile: "My lord, don't bully Taohua. During the time you went to the Huns, Taohua worried about you!"

"No way, how is it possible, I'm not worried about your son, I"

Tao Hua summoned up her courage and said, "I'm only worried that those servants won't serve you well, Young Master."

"Isn't that worrying?"

Lu Su covered her mouth and smiled lightly, then turned her head to look at Zhao Kun: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, she is competing with Liu Heng and the others whose lantern is better."

"Liu Heng?"

Zhao Kun was taken aback: "Is he Liu Bang's eldest son?"

"Yes."

Lu Su nodded in response, and said, "Sir, you shouldn't make things difficult for them, right?"

"A bunch of little kids, why should I make things difficult for them, as long as they don't break the law, they are all good citizens!"

Zhao Kun waved his hand indifferently.

Lu Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Their whole family has moved to Xianyang, and they are living in a house in the east of Xianyang at this time.

Lu Zhi and the heirs of the Liu family were also placed there by Zhao Kun.

As Tao Hua said, Zhao Kun did not embarrass Lu Zhi, but let her reunite with her family.

Although Lu Zhi in history had power all over the world, but now Lu Zhi is just an ordinary woman and can't achieve much.

Zhao Kun would not focus on her either.

Seeing the two fell into silence, Tao Hua on the side spoke again; "My lord, do you still remember the Lantern Festival that year? The lantern you made is so beautiful, why don't you help me make one too!"

"This"

Zhao Kun hesitated for a moment, and said, "Go and get me some paper and bamboo!"

"it is good!"

Taohua hurried away on short legs without saying anything.

After a while.

Inside the study.

Lu Su was grinding.

Taohua pushed her plump chin, and watched Zhao Kun pick up the pen with her eyes open.

Zhao Kun held a small brush with a very thin tip, thought for a moment, and began to write.

Taohua stood up and stretched her neck to look.

While rubbing the ink, Lu Su stood on tiptoe to watch the thin lines form under Zhao Kun's pen. After a while, a woman in palace attire appeared, with ribbons flying behind her, as if she was in the clouds.

With a few more strokes, an endless Milky Way is outlined, and above the Milky Way is a full moon.

The maid in palace make-up wears a ribbon, steps on auspicious clouds, and flies towards the full moon in the sky.

"this woman"

Lu Su stopped rubbing ink, her crystal eyes widened.

It was the first time for them to see such a beautiful woman, and they thought this was the young master's sweetheart?

Although they all knew that Zhao Kun was going to marry Wang Ya, the woman in the painting didn't seem to be Wang Ya.

Lu Su has never met Wang Ya, but Tao Hua has.

She was sure that this was definitely not Wang Ya.

It's not Wang Ya, but who is it?

Just when the two were wondering, Zhao Kun began to color the portrait.

There were not many pigments in ancient times, so the coloring was also very particular. He thought about it a bit, but it was handy.

After a while.

The silver full moon, the woman with colorful palace makeup, the shining moonlight, and the white auspicious clouds all blend together, which is infinitely fascinating.

Both Lu Su were stunned.

Zhao Kun put down his pen.

Then use a small knife to cut the bamboo strips to a thickness of less than three millimeters, and then bend the bamboo strips into a circle.

"who is she?"

The two asked in unison.

"Chang'e, have you heard of Chang'e flying to the moon? This painting is it!"

Zhao Kun replied without raising his head.

Lu Su and Tao Hua looked at each other and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What Chang'e? Did she change from a goose? Also, why did she fly to the moon?"

I go!

Is Chang'e a goose? !
Your brains are really big!

Cursed in his heart, Zhao Kun tilted his head and looked at the two of them; "You don't know Chang'e?"

Both of them shook their heads in confusion, "I don't know."

Zhao Kun froze for a moment, then suddenly recalled that the story of Chang'e appeared in the hexagrams of the Shang Dynasty.

The story of Chang'e flying to the moon appeared in the Western Han Dynasty "Huainanzi Lanming Xun".

In other words, although there was Chang'e in the Qin Dynasty, its popularity was not widespread, so they didn't know about it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kun smiled: "You are right that you don't know, because this lantern is different, it is called a wishing lantern!"

"Wishing lamp?"

Taohua blinked her eyes, and said, "It means that you have to make a wish when you put this lamp on?"

"That's right! The Chang'e above has an epic love story, do you want to hear it?" Zhao Kun laughed.

"miss you!"

Taohua hurriedly said.

Lu Su also looked at Zhao Kun curiously.

Zhao Kun pondered for a while, and then told them the story of Chang'e and Houyi.

After the two listened, their eyes were rosy and tearful, as if it was the first time they had heard such a poignant love story.

"and after?"

Taohua wiped away her tears, and asked Zhao Kun, "Chang'e stayed in the Moon Palace later, so she can't see Houyi again?"

"Yes!" Zhao Kun nodded.

"What about Hou Yi? What happened to him?" Lu Su asked.

Zhao Kun replied: "There are two theories. The first one is that after Hou Yi shot into the sun, his divine power was exhausted and he died. Reunite with him."

"It would be great if it's the second type." Lu Su said with full expectation.

"Ha ha."

Zhao Kun smiled, didn't bother about Chang'e and Houyi, and started making lanterns again.

After the appearance of the lantern was completed, Zhao Kun found a relatively thick iron wire, fixed it, and placed a large enough porcelain bottle inside to hold a sufficient amount of high-alcohol.

After finishing all these, Zhao Kun said to Lu Su and the others: "Okay, paste the paper on the lantern with paste."

"Yes."

After learning about Chang'e's story, the two liked the wishing lamp more than before, so they started to make it with great joy.

After a while, the brand-new Chang'e flying to the moon lantern was ready.

Taohua likes to be anxious.

She hugged her like a baby, but her body was too small, and she couldn't fully hug her in her arms, and turned around in a hurry.

"Susu, you can't rob me, the young master made this for me!"

"."

Lu Su looked helpless, and secretly sighed, thinking about her identity, she was really embarrassed to ask for this lantern.

"How is it possible? I won't!"

Lu Su waved his hand and said, "Take a try, let me see if it looks pretty!"

"Okay!"

Taohua replied with a smile, and was about to light the lamp.

At this moment, Zhao Kun quickly stopped her: "Don't click, this thing is for flying, not for carrying it in your hand."

"Oh, I almost forgot, this is a wishing lamp, it can fly into the sky!"

Tao Hua came to her senses and caressed her chest.

Lu Su asked a little puzzled; "Flying Sky? You said this lamp can fly?"

"That's right! I used to celebrate the Lantern Festival in Pinyang, but Young Master let go of a similar lantern. It seems to be called Kongming Lantern," Taohua replied.

"So amazing? Is it real or not!?" Lu Su looked in disbelief.

"Is this still fake?"

Zhao Kun chuckled: "I'm not lying to you, you will know it on Lantern Festival night."

"Yes." Taohua nodded frantically.

She watched Chang'e flying to the moon on the lantern, secretly happy in her heart.

Lu Su looked at the lantern but was full of curiosity.
