Eight Thousand Iron Buddha at the Start, Please Make Concessions to the First Emperor!

The reason why Ying Zheng's first southern expedition was blocked was because the people of Baiyue headed by the Xiou tribe blocked it, and Tu Sui also killed many people of Baiyue because of his anger and was poisoned.

Later, Ying Zheng asked Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo to go south again. For the second time, although Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo successfully entered Nanyue and established the three counties of Nanyue, they still failed to conquer the Xiou and Baiyue tribes.

Moreover, the Xiou and Baiyue tribes have been trying to overthrow the rule of the three counties of Daqin, but due to the huge gap in the number of people and the thick soil and high walls, the Xiou and Baiyue tribes have not been successful.

After a few years, it seemed that they found it difficult to overthrow Da Qin's rule alone. Therefore, the Xiou and Baiyue tribes began to flee into the mountains and forests, and often attacked Da Qin's army, which resulted in the current situation.

After Zhao Tuo accepted Nanhaiwei, he remembered Ying Zheng's words, and immediately put forward an order to speed up the passage of Wuling New Road and Kailing Canal.

"In this Zhao Tuo rebellion, a total of 100,000 Nanzheng troops were assassinated as leaders of Guizhou. In addition, after Han Xin pacified the Baiyue tribe, there must be tens of thousands of slaves, so they should all be sent to open the mountain and open the canal."

"Be sure to connect the north-south road of the Wuling Mountains within a year, and at the same time widen the Lingqu and other rivers for the passage of ships!"

After hearing Zhao Tuo's order, many of the following ministers did not have any opinion. This matter has been done since the time of the first emperor, but the progress was slow before, and it has not been effective.

When everyone heard His Majesty's words, they all remembered this matter, and for a while they began to wonder if the Five Ridges had not been connected for a while, whether it was Zhao Tuo who deliberately delayed the progress.

If Zhao Tuo had penetrated the Wuling Land before he died, then Zhao Tuo would naturally have no chance to rebel. Everyone thought of this, and the speculation became more and more certain.

Zhao Tuo didn't care so much, Zhao Tuo was already dead, and it was pointless to pursue the previous matter now, so it would be better to speed up the progress.

In addition, with the help of 300,000 slaves and Ba people, the opening of the mountain in Xishu was slowly progressing, and Daqin's slaves in the south reached as many as 800,000 at one time.

Together, these two projects are even more massive than the construction of the First Emperor's Mausoleum in Mount Li, but it is conceivable that once the Lingnan, Lingbei, and Xishu are connected, Daqin will definitely become one.

It is an indisputable fact that the South is rich, and even the relatively primitive slash-and-burn farming that is still practiced in the South has left people in the South free from the worry of hunger.

If the primitive slash-and-burn cultivation in the south can be changed to the current uncrowded cultivation in the north, the yield of grain and other crops will surely increase significantly. Moreover, the land in the south is vast and sparsely populated, and the cultivated land that has been reclaimed is very little, which is a complete waste.

Ren Xiao, who was far away in the Protectorate of the Western Regions, after learning that Zhao Tuo actually rebelled and wanted to become king, he couldn't help but sighed deeply. He had seen Zhao Tuo's ambition back in the day, but he didn't expect it. In the end, Zhao Tuo actually did it.

"General Ren Xiao, Your Majesty has ordered you to resume your post as Captain of the South China Sea today, and General Zhang Han will serve as the Protector of the Western Regions. In addition, Your Majesty ordered you to connect the north and south of the Five Ridges as soon as possible, and to dredge the Lingqu and other rivers...

After listening to the sergeant's words, Ren Xiao respectfully accepted the order, and then set off to return to Xianyang.

Zhang Han went directly to the Protectorate of the Western Regions in the land of Qiuci. Now that the caravan between Daqin and the West is getting closer and closer, the Protectorate of the Western Regions is becoming more and more important.

After Ren Xiao stayed in Xianyang for seven days, he went directly to the land of Nanjun.

And Han Xin of the Nanjun land also lived up to Zhao Tuo's expectations, pacified the Baiyue land, and completely subdued the Xiou and Baiyue tribes.

After that, Han Xin directly led 100,000 troops to be stationed in the Wuling Land, and ordered his sergeants to build a tall and large city.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the vassal states were not allowed to build tall cities except for their capitals, because they were afraid that the owners of these cities would rely on thick walls and tall cities to become their own kings.

However, today's Daqin does not have this restriction. As long as the city has been asked to Xianyang before the construction, it can be built tall.

Zhao Tuo is not afraid of Han Xin's rebellion. First, although Han Xin can use soldiers and fights, he is not a person who is greedy for power and interests. Second, Da Qin is not afraid of Han Xin's rebellion. Even if Han Xin really wants to rebel (Nuo Nuo's), most of them are It didn't end well.

After Ren Xiao entered the land of the three counties, he immediately began to order the slaves to open up mountains and rivers. Since Zhao Tuo only gave him one year, Ren Xiao did not dare to relax at all.

For a time, slaves opened the mountain to the north and south of the Five Ridges, and there were many prisoners digging deep into the river banks on both sides of the rivers such as the Lingqu.

In just one year, the new road between the north and south of the Wuling Mountains was completely connected, and Daqin also began to migrate a large number of people to the land of Nanyue.

With the experience of farmers in the north of Daqin, wasteland began to be cultivated everywhere in the south. As for the original slash-and-burn cultivation in the south, it was directly abandoned. For a time, the fields in the south were changed.
