The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 799: Northern Tour and Destruction of the Dynasty
The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the demand for the vitality of heaven and earth, which becomes a death warrant. The more dependent on the environment, the faster it will be destroyed when the environment changes drastically.

Even if you don't have any cultivation, you will still be doomed, and you may even be doomed faster.

The vitality of heaven and earth is becoming increasingly quiet. How should he cope with it with his powerful cultivation level?

If you don't fall into a deep sleep early, and wait until the vital energy of heaven and earth is completely silent, it will be too late to prepare in advance, and you will die, with both your body and soul destroyed.

Even if he fell asleep early, it would be extremely difficult to survive until the vitality of heaven and earth recovered. If he could not survive, he would die.

He was a man of strong and tenacious character. He had changed everything in his life and possessed everything. He had never expected to achieve true immortality.

After all, one cannot fall into the same pit twice. It would be a great shame if one were to build up such a good reputation and be ridiculed by future generations because of it.

From the very beginning, I had already thought about giving up immortality and just wanted to live a brilliant and glorious life, creating unprecedented and lasting achievements.

Live and die together with the people you care about, pave the best possible way for your descendants, make your empire last as long as possible, and have no regrets in this life. That is enough.

Everyone will die, so it's good to have a beginning and an end.

To be honest, when he was targeting Xuannv, he never thought that he could become immortal.

He was satisfied just thinking about getting Xuannv and having her take care of his empire and making the empire's rule more stable.

It would be even better if I could have a son with Xuannv.

If he and Xuannv's son were allowed to sit on the throne, Xuannv would certainly help the empire in the future.

Unexpectedly, with twists and turns in the life, he actually possessed the Queen Mother of the West by accident!

Although the Queen Mother of the West did not say anything, Ying Zheng had no doubt that she had plenty of ways to make him immortal.

This is truly an unexpected gain, it’s like pie falling from the sky.

This was later confirmed by Xuannu. Ying Zheng had some guesses about what Yaochi Jinmu and Xuannu were thinking, but there was no need to say more about this matter.

Although Ying Zheng was extremely reluctant to temporarily give up his power in the world in the future, he could barely accept it. He believed that the right way was to see things through to the end, and he was already extremely lucky.

If one really clings to that position and never steps down, that may not be a good thing. By then, I'm afraid everyone will want to die.

Ying Zheng himself was also worried that he would become the person he feared.

Although he is a power monster, he doesn't want to become a power monster with a stench all over his body.

At that time, it would not be a good result for him or anyone else.

Now is actually the best outcome. He doesn't have to die. He just needs to temporarily step down from the pinnacle of power, avoid the crisis of depletion of the vitality of heaven and earth, wait for the vitality of heaven and earth to recover, and start again.

Anyway, with the protection of the Queen Mother of the West, there is no need to worry about any problems during the sleep period. When the vitality of heaven and earth is restored in the future, we can regain the country depending on the situation.

You can even build a larger empire, or even the kingdom of God!
With a more ambitious goal that can be achieved, Ying Zheng can strive for it, and he can endure temporarily lurking in the abyss along the way.

What does this short period of time of losing power mean to the endless time ahead? It is just a tiny pause.

What's more, you can continue walking with many people you care about.

Win Ma!

In the fifth year of Emperor Qin Shihuang's reign, Ying Zheng toured the north to pacify the people, rectify the administration of officials, strengthen local control, stabilize the people's hearts, and further consolidate the foundation of the empire.

Today, the development and governance of the North, both in terms of economy and social order, are far superior to those of Chu, showing new vitality.

Even the Zhao area, which had a blood feud with the former Qin State, no longer had any hatred towards the Qin State under the Qin State's strong rule and cultural transformation.

Instead, he actively integrated into the Qin Dynasty, showed fanatical loyalty to Ying Zheng, was extremely obedient, and had everything under his control.

During this trip, after leaving Hangu Pass, Ying Zheng went directly north, passed through the prosperous Hedong County, entered Taiyuan County and Shang County, and then arrived at Yanmen County on the border.

He not only inspected the people of Daqin, communicated with them and understood their sentiments, but also went to Yunzhong County and summoned the leaders of various Xiongnu tribes in the eastern Yinshan Mountains and Qiantao areas.

Now there are more than twenty Xiongnu tribes, large and small, all of which are dukes and marquises of the Qin Dynasty. Although none of them are kings, they all have the title of dukes and marquises.

The Anbei Protectorate strictly controlled the Xiongnu, prohibited tribes from annexing each other, and never allowed the existence of an overly powerful tribe, thus maintaining a loose balance.

Ying Zheng summoned the Xiongnu princes and dukes in the Qiantao area in the eastern part of the Yin Mountains, allowing them to truly witness the majesty of the First Emperor and the heroism of the Qin warriors.

He severely intimidated them with his royal and military might, and frightened them so thoroughly that they dared not have any dissenting thoughts for ten years.

He then collected tribute from various tribes and gave them some rewards based on their performance, skillfully using a combination of kindness and severity.

The tour team then continued eastward, entering Yan territory, passing through Dai County, Shanggu County, Guangyang County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, and finally Liaodong County, where they met with the princes of the various Donghu tribes. With the support of the Qin Dynasty, the Donghu finally recovered a little and regained some of their vitality. They were able to fight against the Xiongnu, and even on paper they were stronger than the Xiongnu, forming a new balance on the grassland.

The Donghu were also divided by the Qin Dynasty into more than 20 princely tribes, which were governed by the Andong Protectorate.

The entire grassland, whether it is the Xiongnu in the west or the Donghu in the east, is now in disarray and can no longer pose a threat to the Qin Dynasty.

The leader of the Gojoseon clan was deliberately not informed of this tour, but it was not deliberately concealed either.

After Qin conquered Yan, Gojoseon immediately came to Qin to pay tribute, which could be said to be very sensible of the times, although the tribute it offered was pitifully meager.

At that time, let alone the poor and backward Korean region, even the Liaodong region was a truly bitter and cold place with vast land, sparse population and scarce resources.

Even for the Central Plains, even the current Shuntian is not a good place, and the living conditions are poor.

No one wants to go to a cold and bitter place if they can go to the Central Plains. Just like in the 21st century, who would be willing to settle in Africa and develop it from scratch?
The imperial court granted fiefdoms in these places. To put it nicely, it was fiefdom, but in reality it was exile, a real form of banishment.

Ying Zheng's tour around the world was so grand that it was never deliberately concealed. Although North Korea was not informed, it was impossible for it not to know about it.

But no one knows what the current generation of King Jifei of Korea (Ji clan, Zi surname) is thinking. I don’t know whether to say he is arrogant or stupid. Ying Zheng has been in Liaodong for more than half a month, but he has not taken the initiative to come to the court.

Ying Zheng had been looking for a reason to bring North Korea under his control, and this time he had the reason.

However, he still sent someone to convey the imperial edict and ordered King Jifu of Korea to come to Liaodong immediately to pay homage.

Ying Zheng deliberately used extremely harsh words and a tough tone in the imperial edict, and the emperor's anger was revealed between the lines, but it was only directed at the Korean king Jifei, and did not mention what to do to Korea.

The purpose was to accurately scare Ji Fei so that he would not dare to come to the court out of fear, thus confirming his crime of "disrespecting the emperor".

Sure enough, Ying Zheng's extremely harsh words frightened Ji Fei. This King of Korea, who lived far away from the Central Plains and lived in a corner, almost fainted on the spot after receiving Ying Zheng's thunderous reprimand.

He simply did not have the courage to come to Liaodong in person to pay homage to the legendary Qin Shi Huangdi, who was said to be the reincarnation of a god.

He could only nervously send his trusted ministers to offer the most generous gifts and the most beautiful women he could find, and humbly plead guilty in an attempt to appease the emperor's anger.

Now, Ying Zheng finally had the reason he wanted.

The emperor was touring the world, but the King of Korea did not come to pay homage to him in person. This was a great disrespect to the emperor!
I gave you the opportunity and ordered you to come to the emperor, but you dared not come!
His crime deserves to be punished!

By the way, it was also to intimidate the Donghu people and let them see the consequences of offending the emperor of Qin.

Ying Zheng immediately ordered Bai Yifei to lead 3,000 elite cavalry into Korea to destroy the Ji clan.

It's not that Ying Zheng underestimated the enemy. It's just that the Gojoseon was so weak at that time that the Qin Dynasty couldn't even look at it.

Today's Goseon has long been beaten to pieces by the State of Yan. It has lost its spirit, is now politically corrupt, technologically backward, has a rigid system, and is aristocratic.

Facing the current Qin Dynasty, there is absolutely no power to resist.

Originally in history, the Yan State was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty. Wei Man, a nobleman of the Yan State who did nothing in the Chu-Han contention and fled to Korea to avoid the chaos, was able to succeed in governing the country and establish Wei's Korea with only more than a thousand people.

One can imagine how weak and backward the Gojoseon was at that time.

In front of the Qin Dynasty, he was no different from a piece of paper and was completely vulnerable. Destroying him was a piece of cake.

Besides, the Qin Dynasty had been well prepared and was not acting hastily.

Bai Yifei had served as the lieutenant of Liaodong County for many years, and had long been under secret orders to gain a thorough understanding of the entire terrain of Korea and the situation in the government and the country.

In addition, in order to target Korea, Ling Bai Yifei had already trained an elite force in order to destroy the Gojoseon.

Bai Yifei's mission on this trip was very clear: it was only to kill people, not to seize land, and certainly not to massacre civilians.

His goal was simply to kill the powerful leaders of the Ji clan and completely destroy their ruling core.

This group of people acted deliberately and with absolute crushing force, and easily wiped out all the high-ranking officials of the Gojoseon.

Before the entire Ji clan of Korea even had time to react, Bai Yifei had already returned to Liaodong with Ji Fei's head, almost wiping out the entire Ji clan.

From the time Bai Yifei received the order to the time he returned to Liaodong, the entire process took less than a month.

In front of the current Qin Dynasty, looking around, none of the four barbarians can fight, and they can destroy anyone they want.

If the First Emperor wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, no one can keep you alive before five o'clock.
