Chapter 170 The Qin Dynasty Begins

After eliminating Lu Buwei's forces within the court and completely controlling Luowang, a killer intelligence organization spread across seven countries, King Zheng of Qin completely took control of the entire Qin State and began his grand plan to unify the world.

Qin's strategy to destroy the six states had two contents. First, taking advantage of the chaos among the six states, Qin "destroyed the princes, established the imperial cause, and unified the world". Qin Wangzheng adopted the strategy of Wei Liao, who had just joined the Qin army, to break up the alliance of the six states, "not to be greedy for money, bribe their powerful officials to disrupt their plans", and divide and disintegrate the enemy states from within. Second, it inherited the policy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby countries, and determined the specific strategic steps of attacking the weak first and then the strong, and attacking the near first and then the far. Li Si suggested that Qin Wangzheng attack Han and Zhao first, "If Zhao attacked, Han would perish, and if Han perished, Jing and Wei would not be able to be independent, and if Jing and Wei could not be independent, then Han would be destroyed, Wei would be eroded, Jing would be taken away, and Qi and Yan would be weakened in the east."

In simple terms, it was to win over Yan and Qi, stabilize Chu and Wei, eliminate Han and Zhao, and then defeat them one by one to unify the country. Under the guidance of this strategic policy, a war of unification began.

At the same time, they are known together with the Mohists as "The Mohists' mechanisms are like wood and stone moving; and bronze opening, you have to ask Gongshu." The Gongshu family, who are praised for their mastery of mechanical arts, had a clan leader, Gongshu Chou, who was rumored to have mastered mechanical arts to a level close to that of the Gongshu family's ancestor, "Gongshu Pan." He led his family to defect to the Qin Empire, making the Qin Empire even more powerful.

The Qin army, with its powerful military force and Gongshujia's domineering mechanical skills, was born for war. They were invincible in conquering cities and plundering territories. Although they encountered some setbacks in the process of annexing the six kingdoms, their efforts to unify the world would not stop.

The war of annexing Han and Zhao began in the 11th year of King Zheng of Qin, and ended in the 26th year of King Zheng of Qin when King Jian, the last king of Qi, surrendered without a fight. The 14-year campaign of Qin's conquest of the six states came to an end.

The world was finally unified after more than 500 years of war and chaos.

A vast empire that had never appeared before in the Chinese land was born. Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, who accomplished this great feat and founded the imperial system, understood that the remnants of the six kingdoms lurking in the dark would never give up so easily.

The remnants of the six states in Shandong have not yet won over the empire. Among the various schools of thought, the Mohist school, the Agricultural school and other rebels in the empire, whose members are spread all over the world, will never give up so easily.

In addition, the Baiyue in the south and the Xiongnu in the north will also become the main enemies of the empire, and they will largely tie up most of the empire's military forces in the future.

Fortunately, the Marquis of Han at that time, after the King of Qin unified the Han Dynasty, Chengqiao, went to his fiefdom in Ba County, which was close to the land of Baiyue, to take up residence. He then accepted people from surrounding tribes to enrich the population, and moved people from Guanzhong or other Shandong areas. After more than 20 years of governance, the country was now prosperous.

With the approval of the King of Qin, Qin gradually encroached on the Lingnan area. Finally, one year after Qin destroyed the State of Chu, it defeated the local Luoyue tribe (now in northern Vietnam, southern Guangxi, and Hainan), and officially incorporated this part of Lingnan into the rule of Qin.

According to the previous agreement, Cheng Qiao obtained the promise of a part of the coastal land in Xiangjun and Guilinjun that was originally supposed to be established as a prefecture, as well as permanent garrison in the southwest.

The Qin Empire integrated the remaining lands and established Xiangjun and Guilinjun. With the assistance of the King of Han, it began to dig the Lingqu Canal (also known as the Xianggui Canal, also known as the Xing'an Canal, now in Xing'an County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region) for the future conquest of Xiou (now in Guangxi), Nanyue (now in Guangdong), and Minyue (now northern and eastern Fujian in FJ Province).

After years of construction, the upper half of the Lingqu Canal has been completed, which can ensure the logistical supply of the Qin army in the future. This report was sent to Xianyang by local officials at full speed.

Such a happy event could not make Ying Zheng, the ruler of the empire, happy, because the arrival of another report made him furious.

"Gai Nie, a child, just two people, actually wiped out the 300 cavalrymen of the Qin Dynasty. This kind of battle report is ridiculous to me. When the Qin Dynasty attacked the Chu State, it lost 100,000 soldiers and was defeated because of Lord Changping. The next year, I sent five times the number of troops and ordered the Qin Dynasty's top expert, the former Han Hou, now the King of Han, to fight together. Even a stubborn country like the Chu State collapsed under the Qin Dynasty's cavalry."

At this point, Ying Zheng seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Yes, since we can't catch him with 300 people, then use 3,000, 30,000, or 300,000!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." It was the current Prime Minister of the Great Qin, Li Si, who stepped out and said, "The Great Qin Iron Cavalry is good at charging into battle and attacking cities and strongholds. They are not good at dealing with martial arts masters like Gai Nie."

"Does the Prime Minister mean to ask the King of Han to help again?"

"The King of Han guards Lingnan and supervises the construction of Lingqu Canal. He is crucial to the future of our Great Qin and cannot be left lightly. And Gai Nie's defection is not a coincidence. According to the intelligence from Luowang, the rebellious forces of the six countries are brewing a huge conspiracy. To eradicate such forces, we must fight poison with poison."

As this matter concerns the country, Ying Zheng, who has regained his composure, immediately asked Li Si: "Fighting poison with poison, do you have a suitable candidate?" Li Si took out the candidate he had prepared and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers Wei Zhuang and others who helped Your Majesty a lot in Xinzheng City back then?"

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
The seriously injured Gai Nie took Tian Ming to escape the joint pursuit of Qin Jun and Sheng Qi. Eventually, he was injured while taking care of Tian Ming. The two fled to a dense forest, and eventually fell to the ground and fell unconscious due to serious injuries.

While taking care of the injured Gai Nie, Tian Ming accidentally ignites the alarm fireworks in the forest, which attracts the Xiang clan of the Chu State who have been secluded there to avoid being hunted by the Qin State.

When Xiang Shaoyu, the young master of the Xiang clan, lived in Tianming, Wushuang Gui, the fourth of the Four Heavenly Kings of "Liusha", appeared to hunt down Gai Nie and Tianming, and killed several members of the Xiang clan who were in the way.

Just when Shao Yu was defeated, Tian Ming suddenly had an idea and rescued Shao Yu with a roasted pheasant filled with a meteor.

Then Gai Nie woke up, and despite his serious injuries, he used the Hundred-Step Flying Sword, and Wushuang Gui was killed by the sword.

After learning that Liusha and the Qin soldiers were about to arrive, the Xiang clan immediately organized their members to flee with Gai Nie and Tian Ming. However, the Liusha leader Wei Zhuang still learned about Gai Nie and his group's escape route from the soldiers who stayed behind.

Wei Zhuang sent the Wolf King, the third of the four kings of "Liusha", to continue the pursuit. At night, the Wolf King summoned a pack of wolves to surround the carriage, and the seriously injured Gai Nie was unable to cope. Finally, Tian Ming had another idea and used fire to severely injure the Wolf King. Shao Yu also cooperated to repel the Wolf King, but Gai Nie was injured and unconscious.

Then, Gao Yue, a girl from the Mohist family, appeared and led everyone to Jinghu Medical Village to ask the leader of the Mohist family, the "Medical Fairy" Duanmu Rong, for help. Gai Nie and Tian Ming stayed in the medical village for treatment, while the Xiang family who came with them went to the Mohist mechanical city first.

During the time when Tianming was recuperating in Gai Nie's house, he met Gao Yue and they became good friends. But not long after the peaceful life, Wei Zhuang arrived with the Quicksand, so with the help of Master Ban who came to pick them up, they boarded the Suzaku mechanical machine and flew to the Mo family mechanical city.

However, they did not expect that soon after arriving at the Mohist Mechanical City, the place was infiltrated. The poison "Zhen Yu Qian Ye" from "Quicksand" severely reduced the combat effectiveness of the anti-Qin forces in the Mechanical City, making them unable to fight.

After a chase, Tianming, Yue'er (Gao Yue) and Shao Yu hid in the forbidden area of ​​Mohist school, and passed the dangerous tests of "Tiger Leap", "Sarutobi" and "Dragon Throat" one after another.

Yue'er obtained the magic sound box which is the key to unlock the seven stars of the Azure Dragon.

In the final choice between "the way of chivalry" and "the way of the king", Shao Yu chose "the way of the king" and after breaking through the level, he obtained the Overlord Spear that could break the formation.

Tianming and Gao Yue entered the "Xia Dao" together and obtained the supreme weapon "Non-Attack" passed down from generation to generation in the Mohist school.

Unable to turn back, Tianming and Gao Yue had to continue walking deeper, where they met an old man who was also trapped by the mechanism.

With the old man's reminder, Tianming realized that only by diving underwater and opening the Xuanwu water valve to allow fresh water to flow in and replace the poisonous water in the Tiaomo family's mechanical city can everyone be rescued.

Just after Tianming went into the water, Yue'er in the cell was shocked to realize that the old man's true identity was Gongshu Chou, the head of the Gongshu family, who was hostile to the Mohist school, but was knocked unconscious by Gongshu Chou.

Tianming also encountered danger underwater. He was attacked by the underwater Xuanwu and trapped in the water.

Just when Tianming lost consciousness, a dazzling light suddenly appeared around his body.
