Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 441

In Panyu City, in a room in the backyard of Prince Qin's Mansion, Ziying stood in front of a coffin for an unknown amount of time.

Inside were Lu Ning's ashes and some of her clothing.

After Ouluo fell, Ziying sent the news back to Xianyang, and attached his request to return to Xianyang.

According to the memory of his previous life, there is still more than a year before the end of the first emperor, but history has deviated a lot because of his arrival, and Ziying can't guarantee that history will still follow his own memory. moving forward.

The safest thing is to go back to Xianyang and stare at Zhao Gao, the shit-stirring stick who disturbed Daqin, so as not to let him have any room for changes.

As his wife, Lu Ning, after obtaining Lu Jia's consent, Ziying did not bury Lu Ning for the time being, but planned to bury him in the royal mausoleum after returning to Xianyang.

These days, Ziying would always come to this hut every few days and stand silently for a while.

However, a month later, the letter from Xianyang not only praised Ziying, but also asked Ziying to continue guarding South Vietnam, and at the same time moved some lawbreakers and officials who did not strictly enforce the law to Lingnan.

In history, after Ren Xiao pacified South Vietnam, the 50 Qin army guarded South Vietnam until the death of the first emperor to prevent changes in this newly occupied land.

The first emperor let Ziying replace Ren Xiao's position in history, and it is understandable to stabilize South Vietnam for the time being.

The first emperor refused, so Ziying could only temporarily stay in Nanyue and try his best to stabilize Nanyue.

The rice planted has been harvested for one season. Thanks to the abundant water and heat resources in the Lingnan area, although the Nanyue people are somewhat inexperienced, the rice harvest is not bad. For the first time, those tribes in the Nanyue mountain forest know that they do not rely on fishing and hunting. You can also have a full meal.

Qin Jun, who did not hesitate to give them planting technology, provided them with seeds, tools, cattle, and helped them build houses, became more and more friendly.

The people's thinking is actually very simple, they will support whoever treats them well and feeds them well, and because of this, the original chiefs, although they still hold certain official positions in the county, their prestige has been somewhat reduced.

The harvest from the army's farming also greatly reduced the logistical pressure on the Qin army.

The rudiments of county towns have already sprung up on the land of Nanyue.

When the immigrants from the Central Plains and the Nanyue people live together, the land of Nanyue will truly belong to China after a few generations.

When carrying out the development of Nanda University, Ziying naturally did not forget the land of Ouluo, a region that was gained and lost in Chinese history.

For this reason, Ziying asked for orders to set up a separate county named Yue County in the original Ouluo area. In addition to the prefect who was sent by Xianyang, Du Fu served as the governor of Yue County, and Du Meng served as the county captain of Yue County. .

At the same time, the original slavery in Ou Luo was abolished and all the aboriginal slaves were liberated.

Under the oppression of the Qin army's military power, neither the newly liberated slaves nor the nobles who forcibly distributed most of their land to slaves did not cause much trouble.

Among them, the prestigious Du Mansion played an irreplaceable role in stabilizing the two groups of people.

In order to firmly control Yuejun, Ziying focused on Yuejun when arranging immigrants from the Central Plains. At the same time, he ordered some Momen disciples with expertise to go to Yuejun and lead the Qin army to build several ports in Linhai at the same time. And build roads and bridges from the port to the interior of Yuejun.

After all, land communication is somewhat difficult because of the [-] mountains. This is also one of the reasons why this area was separated from China in the end. Therefore, Ziying is going to vigorously develop sea transportation, and through the sea, the Yue County and the mainland are closely connected.

At that time, after the accident happened in Guluo City, the Ouluo nobles who had been waiting at the seaside, after getting the news, they boarded the boats that had been prepared and fled towards the big island they found in the south like frightened birds.

After Ouluo conquered, this news was naturally presented to Ziying. However, Du Fu and the others only knew that they had discovered several large islands in the south, but they did not know the exact location. They took it away.

But the Du Mansion doesn’t know, but Ziying does know that if today’s Vietnam goes south along the coast, after crossing the narrow Strait of Malacca, wouldn’t it be Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan and other big islands later on?Of course, these are still some uninhabited islands.

Very easy to find if you know the location.

With today's navigation technology, Ziying estimated that those Ouluo nobles who could not escape should have gone to Sumatra Island.

According to the sketch drawn by Ziying, the Qin army ferryed southward, and after crossing a strait, they found those Ouluo nobles who were temporarily living in the seaside plain.

The generals of the Qin army understood the escort of the nobles of Ouluo, but Ziying's other order made the generals of the Qin army a little confused.

Ziying ordered people to carve a large number of steles, and wrote the words "Great Qin Shihuang returned to Qin for [-] years", ordering the Qin army to erect or bury these steles one by one on the uninhabited islands passing by.

These uninhabited islands have no value at all under today's conditions, and the Qin army has no ability to maintain the garrison on these islands. Ziying did this only for future generations. You can have more confidence, and disgust some other countries by the way.

Nanyue preliminarily decided that at the request of Ziying, the first emperor granted the four counties of Nanyue a three-year tax exemption. Under Ziying's series of administrative measures, the whole of South Vietnam can be said to be a prosperous scene.

At this moment, the disciples of Momen who led the Qin army to build roads and bridges in Ouluo brought another piece of good news.

"Juzi, this is the iron ore we discovered in the hinterland of Ouluo." A disciple of Momen respectfully handed a rough iron ore wrapped in cloth to Ziying's hand.

Ziying examined it carefully for a while, then asked, "How about these ores?"

Vietnam has iron ore in Ziying, but I have a vague impression. I remember that Ziying read a news article in the previous life. This small country seems to have set up some obstacles to China's iron ore imports with other countries. However, it is not clear where the specific mineral deposits are. understood.

Hearing Ziying's question, the Momen disciple replied excitedly: "The iron ore in Yuejun was initially smelted by our Momen. The ore is extremely rich, and the distribution is shallow and easy to mine."

"Order to divide the army into [-] people to vigorously mine iron ore, and set up furnaces for smelting on the spot in Yue County." Ziying immediately gave the order to vigorously mine iron ore after hearing the Momen disciple's report.

Although Qin is powerful, the weapons used are still mostly bronze swords, and the quality of the bronze swords smelted is even better than the iron swords of the six eastern countries.

However, Ziying did know that steel is the kingly way of war in the future, and the iron weapons of the six countries are not good, it is not a problem of iron, but a problem of their smelting technology.
