General Qin

Year 2244 of the lunar calendar, School of History, Huaxia University.

"Have you heard that the tomb of the King of Vietnam has been dug up!"

"The King of Vietnam? Which King of Vietnam is the one named Liu?"

"Yes, Liu Bang, the Vietnamese King of Martial Arts!"

As soon as Zhao Xing walked into the classroom, he heard the students inside discussing the recent major archaeological discoveries with great interest.

In Si Qin County, Vietnam, a group of college students discovered an ancient well while hiking in the mountains. The well was so deep that someone accidentally fell into it.

When the rescue arrived, they found that the so-called ancient well was actually a robbery cave, nearly ten meters deep.

Later, after on-site surveys by archaeologists and the identification of cultural relics in the tomb, it was confirmed that this ancient tomb was the tomb of Liu Bang, the Vietnamese King of Wu more than 2,200 years ago.

It is lucky to say that the tomb robbers who discovered the ancient tomb did not break through the main tomb of King Nanwu. Instead, they broke into the tomb of the queen buried nearby. After looting all the funerary objects in the coffin, they evacuated without discovering the real owner. of.

It was precisely because of the negligence of the tomb robbers that the tomb of King Wu of Vietnam was completely preserved, and the identity of the tomb owner was confirmed through the funerary objects inside.

Someone logged into the relevant website and projected the specific details of Liu Bang's tomb in the void.

"This King Wu of Vietnam was really poor. There are not many gold and silver ornaments, silk paintings and scrolls in the tomb. They are just pots and pots. It is not as good as the tomb of Peng Yue of the same period as him that was excavated some time ago."

"Of course, you don't want to think about it. Peng Yue was the first Protector of the Western Regions of the Qin Dynasty. He was granted the title of Lunhou and was in charge of various affairs of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. All trade between the East and the West had to go through his hands. How could Liu Bang, a mountain king in a barbaric land, be as fat and poor as him? If Liu Bang was really rich, he wouldn't still be thinking about his two hundred gold in his suicide note."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Zhao Xingyi couldn't help but laugh, thinking of the relevant information he had seen two days ago.

The tomb of Liu Bang is very shabby and cannot compare with the tombs of some high-ranking officials excavated in the Central Plains during the same period.

But it’s normal to think about it. Even though Liu Bang is known as the King of Vietnam, he is actually the leader of a Qin expeditionary army. It is said that after the Qin army conquered Baiyue, he was ordered to lead a thousand people south to hunt down the fleeing Vietnamese nobles.

The Yue people were very good at escaping. After leaving Vietnam, they headed south into the vast Annan Peninsula, with Liu Bang following closely behind them.

After all, the Qin army came from the north and was not familiar with the local climate and environment. They encountered many dangers and eventually lost the Yue group.

Either they are afraid of being punished if they return without success, or they have the desire to dominate one side.

In short, Liu Bang did not lead his army back to the mainland of Qin, but stayed on the peninsula and founded the country and became king. Because it was located south of Baiyue, it was named Vietnam.

Later generations successively conquered the local indigenous people and established a vast country.

Because the upper-class rulers of Vietnam were from the Qin Dynasty, many systems followed the etiquette of the Central Plains. Liu Bang was revered as the King Wu of Vietnam because of his contribution to the founding of the country and the expansion of frontiers.

His country has been passed down for eight generations, and was finally conquered by the Qin army when the Qin army went south to fight against the Shendu country. From then on, it was classified as a prefecture and county of Qin, and it has been the territory of China for generations.

It can be said that Liu Bang, the Vietnamese king, made great achievements in opening up territory for China and spreading culture. Once his tomb was discovered, it caused quite a stir in the academic world.

Compared to his shabby burial objects, the letter written by him in the tomb attracted significantly more attention.

"Xianyang owes me two hundred gold!"

The handwriting is blurry, but I can still feel the sorrow of Liu Bang, the Vietnamese king, before his death, and his obsession with the two hundred gold.

The matter of these two hundred pieces of gold has aroused the speculation of many scholars and history buffs.

Xianyang obviously refers to the Qin court, so why does the Qin court owe a young general from the Southern Expedition two hundred gold?

There are different opinions on this matter.

Zhao Xing agreed with the inference of one of the scholars. It was said that this scholar had discovered clues in "The Assassin's Biography".

"Farewell Biography of the Assassins" is an unofficial biography that records the deeds of Zhuan Zhu, Nie Zheng, Yu Rang, Jing Ke, Zhang Liang, Chen Yu and other famous assassins. Among them was an assassin named Xiang Ji.

Xiang Ji is a remnant of the Six Kingdoms. Due to the destruction of his country and his clan, he hated Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of Da Qin, so he infiltrated the army under the pseudonym Liu Yu and wanted to assassinate Zhao Tuo. However, he was discovered by the army commander Pao Ze and reported him, and ultimately failed.

The name of the Qin soldier who reported Xiang Ji was not recorded, but the book recorded that the Qin State's wanted reward for Xiang Ji at that time was two hundred gold.

The two are both worth two hundred gold, and they are both officers and soldiers of the Southern Expedition Army.

The unearthed letter almost confirmed from the side that Liu Bang, the King of Wu of Vietnam, was the Qin soldier who accused Xiang of treason.

"Another historical unsolved case has been solved. This kind of inference with evidence is worth thinking about. Those who make conspiracy theories based on similar names are really boring."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but show disgust when he thought of this.

What he hates is a conspiracy theory that has been popular on the Internet in recent years. Some people noticed that the person who reported the assassin Jing Ke was named Gao Tuo in "The Biography of the Assassin", which reminded him of Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of Daqin at the same time.

Through the similarity of names, these people believe that Gao Tuo, who followed Jing Ke into the Qin Dynasty, was actually Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of Zhenguo.

Zhao Tuo succeeded in getting into the eyes of the King of Qin by accusing Jing Ke of betraying him, thus gaining important positions and gradually reaching the pinnacle of his life.

This argument was original and aroused many people's discussion as soon as it was put forward. After all, Zhao Tuo's influence in Chinese history was too great.

But conspiracy theories are just conspiracy theories after all.

Because the "Book of Qin" written by Zhao Qian clearly records that Zhao Tuo is a descendant of the Duke of Zhao. After the death of Zhao, he joined the Qin army led by Wang Jian to launch the war to destroy Yan. Zhao Tuo started from a small pawn and fought step by step on the battlefield. , became the powerful prince of Daqin Zhenguo in the world.

What a legendary life.

"The Book of Qin" is an official history book and is the first official history. At the same time, the author Zhao Qian is a descendant of Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of Zhenguo. His story about Zhao Tuo's life experience will naturally be more credible.

This is also the reason why although those conspiracy theorists are loud on the Internet, not many people actually believe them.

I don’t believe official history, but I believe your conspiracy theories?

As a descendant of Zhao Tuo, Zhao Xing is very disgusted with such arguments that slander his ancestors. He reports every one he sees on the Internet.

The chatter about the tomb of King Wu of Vietnam died down as the pot-bellied, bald history teacher entered.

What we are learning today is the history of China’s technological and cultural development.

Zhao Xing felt drowsy listening to the first part, because it was all about the development of science and technology in the ancient times, mostly stone tools, pottery and the like. It was not until the third generation that it became a little more interesting.

When he talked about the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Xing suddenly became energetic and sat upright.

Because the teacher mentioned a very legendary figure.

"Little love, simulate Gongshu's life."

"only."

The artificial intelligence Xiao Ai responded, and then Zhao Xing saw the surrounding environment suddenly change.

The classroom, which was originally full of technology, turned into an antique temple due to the distortion of light.

This is the scene where Gongshu Pan and Mozi demonstrated the battle to attack and defend the city in front of the King of Chu.

Mozi used the belt as a city and the ultimatum as a weapon. Gongshu Banjiu set up a plan to attack the city, and Mozi was at a distance from it.

Gongshu Ban's attack weapons were exhausted, but Mozi had more than enough to defend the enclosure.

In the end, Gongshu had no choice but to admit defeat to Mozi.

Soon the scene suddenly changed again.

In the mountains where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, Gongshu Pan, with a determined look on his face, is studying optics, sound, density, temperature...

"My skills are inferior to those of Mo Zhai, so I abandon my skills and seek the Tao, and delve into the principles of all things. My learning will clarify the world's great ways, and my disciples will be far better than Mo Zhai."

In a voice as firm as public transport.

The history teacher began to introduce: "Gongshu Ban, known as the father of physics, was not discouraged after being defeated by Mozi, but devoted himself to scientific research. He successively made achievements in the fields of acoustics, optics, thermal science, mathematics and other fields. He made great achievements and laid a solid foundation for the development of world science and technology. The physics created by Gongshu Pan throughout his life was carried forward by his later disciple Zhao Tuo. This will be discussed in detail later in the Qin Dynasty section. Gongshu Zhao The achievements of the Tuo Department are also the focus of previous examinations, and all students must keep them in mind."

Zhao Xing's face turned red. He didn't need the history teacher to say anything. As a descendant of the Zhao family, he knew everything about what his ancestors had done.

When Zhao Tuo was young, he came into contact with the "Gongshu Fragments" passed down by Gongshu's disciples. When he became an adult, he developed on this basis. He not only created the Qin number based on it, deduced the pi ratio, but also made achievements in the fields of electromagnetism and solid-state physics. He pioneered and even combined theory with practice to invent various magical creations.

Giant cannons, telescopes, gunpowder, water jets, hot air balloons, steam engines...

The early Qin Dynasty was called by later generations a period of great technological explosion in the world, and Zhao Tuo was the leader of this technological explosion. It can be said that all kinds of creations used in today's technological era are inseparable from the contributions of Gongshu Zhao Tuo's family.

Gongshu Ban is revered as the father of physics, and Zhao Tuo is the leader of science. Today, statues of the two often stand or portraits hang in universities of science and technology around the world, so that the world should not forget them. Pioneer of human science.

"The erudition of our ancestors can be said to be the first in ancient times. It's a pity that the "Zhao Zi" handed down from history is not the complete book. It is said that this masterpiece was buried in the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor and rested with the First Emperor of Qin. Alas, if only I could have a chance to see it It would be great to read the full text of this remarkable book.”

Zhao Xing sighed secretly in his heart, full of longing for the so-called all-inclusive first book in China.

At this time, the history teacher has finished talking about the history of science and technology in the Qin Dynasty, and is now talking about the history of culture.

"The cultural history of the Qin Dynasty is inseparable from Zhao Tuo. Yes, he is a general expert. In terms of literature, he broke away from the old genres of the Book of Songs and Chu Ci and created unique The new poetry style, mainly five-character and seven-character poetry, has led Chinese poetry culture to a new peak."

"When you are at the top of the mountain, you can see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance. This poem shows Zhao Tuo's magnanimity and ambition when he climbs high and looks into the distance."

"Poems such as "Drinking Alone under the Moon" show that Zhao Tuo is full of romantic feelings. He is an outstanding romantic poet since Qu Yuan."

"Zhao Tuo left 666 poems in his life, many of which are excellent, and his style is all-encompassing. It is an insurmountable monument in the history of Chinese culture."

"Han Anshi, a poet in the late Qin Dynasty, once said that the articles written by Marquis Zhao are as long as the flames of glory."

Zhao Xing was deeply immersed in the achievements of his ancestors at this moment, and silently recited the poems left by his favorite ancestors.

"The day is so short, a hundred years of suffering can easily be filled. The sky is vast, and the tribulations are long. The Queen Mother hangs her temples, half of them have turned into frost. When the God of Heaven sees the beautiful girl, he laughs a thousand times. I want to win the six dragons, come back to the car Hanging fusang…”

It is said that this is a famous poem recited by our ancestors on their 100th birthday.

Only Zhao Tuo, who had lived for 120 years, could tell the world with a smile that the days are so short and that a hundred years of hardship would be easy to accomplish.

"With such talent as our ancestors, it's no wonder that later generations call him the ancestor of poetry."

In Zhao Xing's sigh, the history teacher had finished the literature part and started talking about the thoughts of the Qin Dynasty.

"Students, one thing worth noting in the Qin Dynasty is the development of religious thought. The overseas immortal seeking sect led by Lu Ao, Xu Shi and others turned into the immortal cultivating sect in the Qin Dynasty, claiming that people can become transcendent immortals through cultivation. To achieve the state of immortality. This is a summary and condensation of the legends about immortals in the pre-Qin era, and an inheritance and development of the thoughts of Zhuangzi, Liezi and others."

"As Qin Shihuang became obsessed with this way, the idea of ​​cultivating immortals spread throughout the world at an extremely fast speed. In the later period, the Qin court suppressed this, but still could not prevent the growth and continuation of the cultivating sect. During this process, there were a total of two people in the Qin Dynasty. The big cultivating sects need to pay attention.”

"The first one is that the real person Huangshi met the White Snake in Mangdang Mountain and realized Taoism. The Taoism he taught is the Mangdang Tianshi Sect. It mainly focuses on the practice of bigu. Through enlightenment, he learns various spells. It is said to be able to exorcise ghosts and destroy evil spirits, and finally become immortal and achieve immortality. The realm of immortality.”

"The other is the destiny-changing sect, which uses Zhongnan Mountain as its dojo. The founder of this sect is Li You, the son of Li Si, Wentong Marquis of the Qin Dynasty. Because his own destiny was strange, he found a new way and hoped to change himself and others through cultivating immortals. His disciples call themselves fortune-changers and are good at fortune-telling, divination, fortune-changing and other matters. They belong to a different sect from the Tianshi Sect in Mangdang Mountain."

When Zhao Xing heard this, he thought that when he went to the scenic spot before, a fortune-changer named Li Tiangang, who claimed to be the 69th grandson of Li You, came up to him and said that Zhao Xing's fate was not good, and he could reverse it for him. God changes destiny.

Zhao Xing burst out laughing at that time.

As a student of the history department and a descendant of the Zhao family, he knew very well the reason why Li You retired to cultivate immortality.

Li You never married, and his orthodoxy was passed down from his disciples.

In this case, you claim to be Li You's sixty-ninth generation grandson, which is ridiculous.

Finally, under Zhao Xing's teasing, Li You's "descendant" ran away in despair and went to the other side where the elderly gathered.

Finished today's course.

Zhao Xing didn't stay long, walked out of the college and came to the parking lot.

The black car door opened automatically.

He sat in and prepared to return home two hundred miles away.

The car body flew into the sky and roared forward in the air.

Zhao Xing yawned and was about to squint for a while when a soft female voice came to his ears.

"My master, the live broadcast of the Qin Mausoleum archeology that you are interested in is about to start. Can you access it?"

Zhao Xing was shocked.

The reminder from the intelligent center instantly cheered him up, and he almost forgot about this important event.

Since the discovery of Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors in the last century, they have been slowly advancing over the years.

Today is the live broadcast of the archeology of Qinling Terracotta Warriors Pit No. 6.

Zhao Xing said hurriedly: "Connect immediately."

"Yi, my master."

A soft and waxy voice responded.

Soon the light in front of Zhao Xing began to distort, and in an instant he came to a huge venue.

There are dark figures everywhere, and their specific appearance cannot be clearly seen.

Zhao Xing ignored them and stared at the big pit in the middle of the venue.

There are many uniformed archaeologists cleaning up the soil in an orderly manner. They hold professional tools in their hands, which look like vacuum cleaners. Just start them, and the soil in the pit will be sucked into it, leaving behind what has been artificially removed. The ancient items whose appearance was analyzed intelligently are in situ.

"This is the sixth figurine pit. I don't know what will be inside. I'm really looking forward to it."

"I thought that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum would only have military formations with cold weapons, but I didn't know that a gun and artillery brigade and even a missile vehicle would be unearthed in Pit No. 5. This is really shocking."

"Yes, according to the inscriptions unearthed from the artifacts, those pottery figurines were made a year before the death of Qin Shihuang, sixty years before Zhao Tuo officially invented guns. This shows that Zhao Tuo had those skills when he was young. Think about it, it’s just guns and cannons, but he actually came up with the idea of ​​a missile vehicle not long after gunpowder was invented. This Zhao Tuo is so amazing, I really don’t know what he has in his head.”

Various discussions reached Zhao Xing's ears.

If it were any other time, he would usually block other people's voices on the Internet and convert them into words, but now these people are talking about the deeds of his ancestors of the Zhao family. Zhao Xing naturally straightened his chest and listened with a smile.

He was also looking forward to what could be dug out of this burial pit.

After a while, as the dust in the pit was cleared, the artifacts that had been buried underground for more than two thousand years finally revealed their true identities in the eyes of future generations.

The next moment, screams broke out.

"Oh my God, what is that thing? It's full of green snakes."

"Damn it, isn't this fucking Medusa!"

"Could it be that it was introduced to China from the west?"

Countless people were stunned.

They clearly saw that the first head to emerge from the pit was a woman with strange hair.

Because of the bright colors on the pottery figurines, they could clearly see that those weird-looking hairs were ferocious snakes.

This appearance is exactly the same as that of Medusa in Western mythology.

"I understand, Medusa originated from Great Qin!"

Someone screamed.

There is an endless stream of discussions, far exceeding the unearthedness of the last gun figurine pit.

This is just the beginning.

When the Medusa warriors were carefully scanned and copied by the shocked archaeologists, the second unearthed Qin warriors raised even more alarms.

"Mecha!"

"Holy shit, shit, why does the Qin Dynasty have mechas?"

"Didn't our Chinese mecha just develop it two years ago? How could we dig out the terracotta warriors of this thing in the Qin Dynasty's terracotta warriors and horses pit?"

"This trap can't be fake, right? Forged?"

"Fart, who dares to fake such a global live broadcast? Didn't you see that the archeology captain's eyes almost popped out?"

"Oh my god, no wonder Qin was able to unify the six countries back then. It's not that the six countries didn't work hard, but Qin had mechas!"

Amidst the shocked cries of countless people, Zhao Xing's hands and feet were also trembling.

"These... were these made by my ancestor? Did he think of mechas two thousand years in advance?"

It seems that the amazing artifacts discovered in this archaeological live broadcast have caused a sensation in the outside world through the Internet.

In this cyberspace, black figures are increasing rapidly.

One hundred thousand, one million, ten million...

Countless people from all over the world are rushing to enter this place to see with their own eyes what other shocking things can be dug out of the pit of Qin Mausoleum.

Reality did not disappoint them.

When the huge black warship traveled through two thousand years, it appeared in front of the world with an appearance full of technology.

Everyone was stunned.

"Did I see it wrong? Is there something wrong with my eyes, or has the network been hacked and tampered with? Is this a spaceship?"

"After all, the Qin Dynasty actually has a model of a spaceship?"

"It's not a spaceship. Although it looks similar, it might just be a fashionable sea ship."

"Look at the words on the boat again? If you don't understand them, let Smart translate them for you."

hiss……

Various breathing sounds kept coming.

Zhao Xing swallowed again, and his legs began to weaken.

He clearly saw that on the Qin warship full of technology, the words "annihilate the stars" were engraved in small seals.

Great Qin Star Destroyer!

This world is so crazy!

Even if Western mythical characters appeared in the terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, it can be understood as a product of exchanges between the East and the West.

But what does that advanced mecha model mean?

There is also the Great Qin Star Destroyer, which is obviously full of technology. What is the situation with this spaceship model that surpasses the technology of two thousand years later?

How many secrets are hidden in the history of the Qin Dynasty that has been covered by the years?

…

half year later.

Zhao Xing arrived in Guanzhong in a flying car. He wanted to go to the Lishan Emperor Mausoleum with his own eyes to see what the excavated Great Qin Star Destroyer looked like.

When he first entered the Imperial Mausoleum Scenic Area, the first thing that appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes were the two huge golden statues in the center of the square.

The golden figure standing in the front is wearing a crown that reaches the sky and a luxurious imperial costume. It is the golden statue of Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China.

Behind the statue of Qin Shihuang, there is also a statue of a general wearing armor and a crown on his head.

"The person standing in front of Queen Qin Shi Huang is Zhao Tuo, right? I saw on the Internet that everyone said he was an alien."

"What kind of aliens are they? They should be time travellers."

"Traveler? Have you read too many novels? This Zhao Tuo is obviously an alien visitor. If he is not an alien visitor, then he is the descendant of an alien and an earthling."

There was a sound in my ears.

Zhao Xing looked back and saw a couple arguing.

Not only them, but the surrounding tourists who had just got off the bus would sigh and comment in various ways when they saw the two giant golden figures.

This was a sensation caused all over the world after the discovery of the Qin Star Destroyer and the mecha warriors, and once again triggered a wave of research by Zhao Tuo.

Many people have focused on Zhao Tuo's origins.

Zhao Xing smiled and looked forward again.

He looked at the statue of the mighty general standing behind the First Emperor.

No matter what the world thinks.

Zhao Xing has always remembered the words left by his ancestor Zhao Tuo in his family's genealogy.

I am a general of Qin. (End of chapter)
