Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

As the Qin army and the Chu army faced each other across the river, the time came to the 22nd year of the Qin Dynasty. Faced with the situation that the Nanjun Navy was unable to completely control the river for a while, the Qin State recruited soldiers and laborers in the spring to dredge the gap between Wei and Huainan. Dihangou reproduces the way that Fucha, the last king of the Wu Kingdom, set out from Gusu to the north to attack Qi and strive for hegemony. He mobilized the Dahe navy to go south to join the Nanjun navy.

For a time, the Chu navy, which could have suppressed Qin's Nanjun navy, was completely unable to withstand the attacks from the west and the north. On April 1, the 22nd year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, the Chu navy was completely defeated. The Qin army's navy was annihilated. From then on, the Qin army completely controlled the water surface of the river and began to cross the river in large numbers. It was overwhelming along the way. At the end of April, it broke through Gusu City, intercepted the King of Chu's carriage, crossed Taihu Lake and invaded Shangyu territory.

In Shangyu, there was a Chu prince, Ling Yin Fucu, who was appointed as the new king by the Chu people and fought against the Qin army.

When the time came to May of the 22nd year of the Qin Dynasty, after the Qin army defeated Shangyu, they also broke through the Chu army's last stronghold in Jiangdong, Kuaiji Mountain, and killed Chu State General Xiang Yan and hundreds of people from the Xiang family. The king of Chu committed suicide, and a group of Chu people fled into the land of Baiyue.

While the Qin army was attacking the city, officials from the rear of the Qin State also cooperated with the Qin army to establish a new ruling order of the Qin State in the newly occupied areas. Xue County, Sishui County, Jiujiang County, Kuaiji County, Changsha County and Hengshan County were established one after another, and the rule of the Qin army completely expanded to the area south of the river.

When the time entered June, two consecutive years of battles and the hot and humid climate in the south of the Yangtze River exhausted the Qin army to the limit. The Qin army immediately stopped the offensive momentum and pushed the national border south to the land of Baiyue. There may be Their new journey.

In the autumn, Qin's army gradually withdrew. This was the longest and largest war since Qin launched the war of annihilation. From then on, only Qin and Qi were left among the seven kingdoms in the world. When the political ideal came to reality, Qi Wangjian seemed to be living in his last sweet dream.

In mid-October, General Wang Jian of Qin led his army back to Xianyang, bringing with him countless treasures from Chu.

When the Chu State's treasures were being sent to the warehouses and palaces of Xianyang in carloads, no one noticed that an inconspicuous carriage drove into the Yang Mansion, where a woman seemed to be waiting outside. Go home.

As everything belonging to the Chu State was branded as the Qin State, Qin's war to destroy Chu was completely over, and the next step was to reward based on merit. For the vast majority of Qin Army soldiers, their patience in the past two years was just for the carnival at this moment.

Since General Wang Jian, countless officers and soldiers of the Qin army have received everything they deserve. General Wang Jian was canonized as a Marquis of Wucheng, with ten thousand households in the city. He became the second person in the Qin State to be granted a Marquis for military merit. His son Wang Ben was canonized as Lord Tongwu, and for a time the Wang family had a marquis and a monarch, becoming the most prominent family of generals in Qin.

Among all the merit-based rewards, there is one person who is the most special, and that is Meng Tian. While accepting the canonization, he changed from a military general to a civil servant, became the history of the Qin Dynasty, took charge of the hinterland of Guanzhong, and became the first county in the world that was not a county governor. Shou.

For military generals, receiving rewards based on merit is a carnival, and for civil servants, the same is true. The Chu State was destroyed, new counties were established, and a large number of official vacancies were created. This was their opportunity, and they had great potential. The county magistrate was promoted to the county governor, and the county governor was recalled to Xianyang to fill the vacancy left by the courtiers who were out of town.

Qin Wangzheng also took this opportunity to rearrange the order of the court. The Changping Jun lineage was completely eliminated from the Chu clan, leaving a large number of official positions. The former left prime minister Feng Quji filled the vacancy left by Xiong Qi as the right prime minister. , and the position of left prime minister was held by Wang Wan, the former imperial censor. Just when everyone thought that the vacant position would be filled by Han Fei, the most valued court official of Qin Wangzheng, Qin Wangzheng actually appointed the right governor of Beiping County. Li Si recalled Xianyang to serve as the imperial censor.

Many people immediately understood that the accident that happened to Han Fei was probably due to the rebellion in Yingchuan County and Xiong Qi's incident, which forced Qin Wangzheng to consider more things.

"Xianyang is really lively recently. Every house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. It's not even the Chinese New Year yet, but it's already more lively than the Chinese New Year." Gongsun Li and Yan Lingji, who came back from outside, brought the clothes they bought and said to the three Yang Ming, who had been in seclusion for months and never showed up, said.

"This is life, fighting on the battlefield, walking on the edge of life and death, isn't it just for the happiness at this time?" Yang Ming, who was studying the Phantom Sound Box he got from the Mo family, mobilized. The mysterious and distant tune slowly emerges from the rotation of the Phantom Sound Box.

"I don't know how many people are crying?" Yan Lingji curled her lips and said.

There is no immortality in war. There are many smiles and many tears. Everything is subject to conservation.

"Come and sit down, Li'er, do you know why the Mo family sent this thing that they have treasured for hundreds of years to our home?" Yang Ming pointed to the box in front of him.

"I must be asking for something, otherwise I would be giving us this great gift for nothing." Gongsun Li said nonchalantly. Although she practiced martial arts, she was not very interested in it, if not to prevent herself from becoming the weakest one. , she may not even bother to practice. Of course, Gongsun Li has recently found a new reason for herself to continue on the path of practice, and that is the beauty that belongs to women. The young girl back then has now become I’m thinking about stopping time at a certain moment forever.

"The Mo family's tycoon has been vacant for many years. Because there is no tycoon internally, many problems have arisen. They need a new tycoon." Yang Ming said.

"Is that so? Then the Mo family sent this great gift. Could it be that they want to invite you, my husband, to become their tycoon? I heard that the Mo family's organ city is a real city outside the sky. If you can live in such a place for a period of time, That's pretty good." Yan Lingji said, he seemed to have grasped some key question very keenly, but the direction was right, but the answer seemed to be somewhat inconsistent.

"Husband, are you talking about Tianming?" Compared with Yan Lingji's limited intelligence, Gongsun Li is truly intelligent.

Gongsun Li knew very well that it was impossible for Yang Ming to become the leader of the Mohist family, and it was impossible for the Mohist family to ask someone like Yang Ming, who they could not even influence, to be their leader, so Yang Ming could not be the target of the Mohist family.

In the Yang family, there is only one person who may become the target of the Mohist family in the end, and that is Tianming. Tianming is still young and can still be influenced. At the same time, the martial arts practiced by Tianming are also Yang Ming's participation in the Mo Mei, a token of the Mohist giant. The Mohist Kung Fu he had learned, coupled with the fact that Tianming's surname was Yang, was enough to ease the relationship between the Mohist family and the Qin State. No matter how you looked at it, Tianming was the best candidate for the new Mohist tycoon.

"This kid, although he is still young, should consider his future path." Yang Ming said.

The Mohist family is very similar to the Gongshu family. No one knows the meaning of this world better than Yang Ming. Even if Yang Ming has made up his mind to embark on another path, he cannot deny the importance of the Mohist family.

There is another more important reason. People always have to find something they can do. It is not necessary to crowd them all in Xianyang. Although Xianyang is very important, it is just a city to the world.

"But he's not even ten years old yet." Gongsun Li hesitated. The Mo family was certainly a good opportunity for Tianming. It was a road traveled by countless people. Gongsun Li didn't think that Yang Ming would cheat his son, but Tianming After all, given her age, how could Gongsun Li not be worried at all when she became a mother?

"The Mo family is not a dragon's den, so don't worry too much. Besides, if you go to the Mo family in the morning, you won't be able to come back. From now on, whether you go to see him or he comes home, it won't be a troublesome thing. If a child wants to be successful, You must have such energy. When I was his age, I was already making a living on my own." Yang Mingdao.

Seeing that Yang Ming had made up his mind, Gongsun Li was helpless. She could scheme against Yang Ming in small matters, but in this matter, Gongsun Li was unwilling to use her own tricks. Although she had a mind, she was not A scheming person is a person who knows the general picture.

"Don't worry, Li'er. Those little guys are going out to study too, not just at dawn." Yang Ming said.

"Are you a little anxious now?" Gongsun Li hesitated.

"Extraordinary people do extraordinary things. Can the children of the Yang family deal with it with common sense?" Yang Ming said, looking at Yan Lingji and asked: "What are you thinking about when your eyes are moving around? "

Yan Lingji has been silent from the beginning, but she is the one with the most active mind. Gongsun Li can't face what Yang Ming said calmly, but Yan Lingji can figure it out?

Yan Lingji is really capable. I just heard Yan Lingji say: "Why do I worry about this? No matter how much I think about it, I don't think as much as you do, so why bother. Besides, you can still trick your own child."

Yes, Yan Lingji is free and easy, which makes Gongsun Li look at this sister with other colors. Although Yan Lingji is a little stupid, she is not without her own wisdom. With this mentality , it is not something ordinary people can have.

"I ask you to teach a child, but I don't know what you will teach him to be like. Fortunately, you gave birth to a son, not a daughter." Yang Ming shook his head and laughed, and then turned his attention to the Huanyin Bao in front of him. Box, in the mysterious and melodious sound of music, Yang Ming emptied his mind. This is music from that legendary era, and music is formed by human beings imitating the sounds of heaven and earth and pouring into their own bodies the sounds of their souls. Through In the Phantom Sound Box, Yang Ming can also see some scenes of that era, which is also a kind of practice.
