#1034 - Chapter 1034 Unification of the World

In 224 BC, Wang Jian led the entire 600,000-strong Undying Legion to attack the State of Chu. The State of Chu ordered General Xiang Yan to gather all the national forces to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army.

In 223 BC, the State of Chu was defeated, and Xiang Yan committed suicide. The State of Chu was destroyed.

In 222 BC, King Xi of the State of Yan, heeding slanderous advice, killed his own son, Crown Prince Dan, and presented his head to the King of Qin. However, the Qin army did not stop its advance. King Xi of Yan was captured, and the State of Yan was destroyed.

In 221 BC, the King of Qi, having been misled, directly surrendered the city, and the State of Qi was destroyed.

From then on, Ying Zheng completed the unification of the world and proclaimed himself the First Emperor.

At the same time, Wang Jian's Undying Legion was already riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse.

In order to commemorate these warriors and to prevent news from leaking out, which could lead to the resurgence of the various states,

Ying Zheng ordered the entire Undying Legion to enter the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. At the same time, all the nobles of the various states were moved to Xianyang City.

After the Zoroastrianism within the Great Qin Empire was severely damaged, some Manichaean missionaries stationed in the Western Regions (present-day Xinjiang and Gansu) began to launch organized counterattacks.

Many of them were high-level cultivators with great strength.

Traditional soldiers were simply no match for them.

Ying Zheng planned to reorganize a new Undying Legion to prevent their attacks.

However, the meteorite seemed to have lost its power. Ordinary people who approached it could no longer obtain such abilities.

With no other choice, Ying Zheng could only order Meng Tian to personally lead the Heavenly Soldiers to garrison the northwest border.

However, a new problem arose at this time.

Old Qin could no longer be contacted.

Moreover, the Heavenly Soldiers also had problems.

Although these Heavenly Soldiers were still defending the northern border, they were clearly no longer under Meng Tian's control.

Old Qin told Ying Zheng that now that the world was unified, he was preparing to leave.

Ying Zheng asked him where he was going.

He said he was going to wander the East Sea.

Ying Zheng wanted to go with him, but he was rejected.

From that year onwards, he conducted six inspections, one after another. The purpose was to search for his whereabouts.

On the northwest border, the Zoroastrianism controlled by the Manichaean missionaries launched dozens of attacks, large and small, over more than a decade, but none were successful.

The image of those Qin soldiers with cold faces and wielding light swords had already penetrated their minds.

The name of the Undying Legion had become a common taboo for them.

China's earliest Western name, 'Chin,' was transliterated from the sound of 'Qin'.

The remnants of Zoroastrianism have always spread the rumor that Qin's Undying Legion was made of clay fired by Ying Zheng, so they could not be infected with diseases and could not be controlled.

The news of 'digging up earth to make soldiers' was spread in this way.

In fact, not only during the Qin Dynasty, and not only in the northwest border, but in the past two thousand years, the Manichaeans have launched several actions against China, all of which ended in failure. Behind them, Old Qin's Heavenly Soldiers retaliated in the form of terracotta warriors.

Under Ying Zheng's violent suppression, the remnants of Zoroastrianism basically disappeared within China.

A portion of the Zoroastrian forces were forced to migrate south, entering Lingnan (southwestern region) and Baiyue region (southeastern coastal region).

In order to completely eliminate this force and prevent future troubles, Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Tuo to lead troops south to Baiyue.

In addition, starting in 217 BC, Ying Zheng ordered the construction of the Great Wall on the northern border of Qin, connecting all the original Great Walls of the various states to form a protective line stretching thousands of kilometers.

In the same year, Zhao Tuo's campaign to attack Baiyue achieved a phased victory.

In order to strengthen the management of the Yue people, they were forced to migrate north to the Huizhou area.

In 214 BC, Ying Zheng again ordered Zhao Tuo to lead an army of 500,000 men in five routes south to Lingnan.

This was the last refuge of the remnants of Zoroastrianism.

Due to the complex terrain of the Lingnan area, marching was difficult. After these 500,000 troops went south, they never returned.

In 213 BC,

Chun Yuyue of Qi advised Ying Zheng that he should emulate the ancient sages, implement a feudal system, and abolish the prefecture and county system.

This suggestion was strongly opposed by Li Si, who believed that he was trying to undermine the foundation of the Qin state. He took this opportunity to suggest that Ying Zheng eliminate these Confucian scholars who spread rumors to confuse the public.

Ying Zheng thought it was good.

Thought is the most difficult thing to manage.

If the books of the various states and cults are still there, then the world will not be able to fundamentally stabilize.
