Chapter 30 Qin Chu's Old Hate

Later generations Sima Qian recorded in "The Book of Xiang Yu" that Chu Nan said: Even if Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will surely be destroyed.

Although the meaning of this sentence has various explanations, whether it is the three households or the three major surnames or the few people, it shows one thing, that is, the Chu people did not quite recognize the Qin Dynasty from beginning to end, because from the historical origins, the Chu people and the Qin people had almost no deep hatred. Moreover, the Chu people are located in the southeast, with a large territory and rich resources. Both royal families and civilians are not interested in fighting, but only like to eat something delicious and have fun, and live a life without fighting with the world. In other words, they often say that they have no ambitions. Moreover, even after Chu became the overlord, their strength was far superior to the other six countries, they did not think about annexing the two countries of Han and Wei, which were close at hand, but discussed Zhou Li together, and they were always polite to Qin and pursued the five basic principles of peace and autonomy.

However, in history, the Qin people repeatedly attacked Chu. Decades ago, the Qin State forcibly occupied Wancheng of Chu and set up Nanyang County (272 BC, the 35th year of King Zhao of Qin). Five years ago, Qin Shihuang ordered Li Xin, Meng Wu led 200,000 Qin troops from Nanyang to attack the hinterland of Chu. The Chu State could not bear it anymore, so the general Xiang Yan led the army to resist, and defeated the 200,000 Qin troops all over the ground. In a furious manner, Qin Shihuang sent the number one thug Wang Jian to lead 600,000 troops to attack Chu again, and directly destroyed the Chu State.

This kind of hatred for destroying the country occurred in Han, Wei, Zhao and Qi and other countries. Qin had some arguments and reasons. After all, these countries and Qin had various deep hatreds, especially Zhao.

Qin Shihuang's father was mortgaged as a hostage in Zhao when he was young, indicating that Qin's surrender to Zhao. Even Qin Shihuang was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao. He endured humiliation and lived in the shadow of death since he was a child. Moreover, his mother Zhao Ji was also the concubine of the merchant Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei believed that the Proton Yiren might return to Qin State to ascend the throne in the future, and felt that he was a rare investment project. So he not only gave Qin Shihuang's father Yiren a lot of gold, silver and treasures, but also gave his woman Zhao Ji to Yiren to enjoy. Nine months later, he gave birth to Qin Shihuang Zhao Zheng.

Generally speaking, women give birth to babies for ten months, but Zhao Ji gave birth to Zhao Zheng after nine months with Yi Ren. Therefore, Qin Shihuang's true bloodline and identity have always been entangled in history. Many people think that Qin Shihuang is the son of Lu Buwei, and Zhao Ji was pregnant before following Yi Ren.

This statement was not only true at that time, but also after Qin Shihuang became the King of Qin. Even after becoming the First Emperor who unified China, this statement was still circulating among the people. If an emperor's bloodline was questioned, the throne would be injustice. So Qin Shihuang started a massacre after becoming an adult, poisoning Lu Buwei to death, and chariots his mother Zhao Ji's mistress, and smashed his two sons to death, and broke up the three tribes. Tens of thousands of people were implicated and died, but this matter was still not suppressed.

Sorry, Laoke's gossip has been weak recently, and he has not suppressed it. He has been getting further and further. Let's get back to the point.

The above mentioned that Qin State destroyed other countries is reasonable, especially the great enemy of Zhao State in ancient times. The killing god Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao troops in one fell swoop in the Battle of Changping. The deep hatred between the two countries could not be completely resolved. In addition, Ying Zheng endured the shadow of childhood and the suspicion of identity in Zhao State when he was young. Therefore, after Ying Zheng returned to the country and became king, he continued to fight with Zhao State to death. The first thing he did after he became an adult was to kill Zhao State with all his strength.

The hatred between Qin and Wei also had a long history, and the territory was near Shaanxi, and the borders of the two countries were intertwined. After the three families divided Jin, Wei became dominant, and the powerful Wei Wuzhan was invincible in the world. Therefore, under the pressing of Wei, Qin lost the capital Anyi. For the fierce and martial Qin people, this was a strange ruler**... Well, a great shame and humiliation, and we have to repay it.

Although there was not much hatred between Qin and Han, Han and Wei belonged to the same family, and both Jin came from the division. Therefore, Han and Wei had a sense of dependence on the loss of lips and teeth, and the two countries were always in a state of being in a prime position.

Moreover, although South Korea is small, it has a large population and is very well-equipped. It is known as "the world's strong bows and crossbows are all from Han", and there are more than 100,000 armored soldiers. If Qin wants to destroy Wei, then Han, this good friend of South Korea will definitely poke chrysanthemums behind Qin. Therefore, before killing Wei, Qin killed Han first, not only obtained a large number of surrendered soldiers, but also obtained South Korea's powerful shaping technology, which won a large number of craftsmen for improving Qin in the future.

Qin Qi also had old grudges. In order to curb the rise of Qin, Qi secretly caused many stumblings. Therefore, there were many frictions in the later competition between the two countries. Although the two countries were far apart, Han and Wei were intertwined, and they could not reach each other, they did not like each other, and they would occasionally provoke each other to show their status as a great power. Therefore, it was reasonable for Qin to destroy Han and Wei to kill this guy who had long disliked him. After all, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one mother.

But only Qin's destruction of Chu surprised and dissatisfied all Chu people.

I am kind to you when I eat and drink, and you bully me because of my hair.

Forget it if you bully it, I will endure it. If you occupy Nanyang, I will continue to develop southwards in Chu, but you even destroyed our country. This is the hatred of destroying the country. Naturally, all the people of Chu are very angry.

Even though Nanyang was annexed by Qin, many of the knowledgeable, cultural and faithful people in Nanyang County did not forget the fact that they were from Chu. They always regarded Yang as orders from the Great Qin Empire, which led to the fact that Xianyang's orders were not very good after they arrived in Chu.

The people of the other six countries have more or less some of this kind of thoughts and signs, but the Chu State is the most serious.

This is also the reason why Qin Shihuang had to overhaul the Tao as soon as he conquered Qi, and Qin and Chu Tao were the top priority.

Moreover, the main officials of the large counties and small counties in the former Chu State were almost all sent out from Xianyang. Jiangbeiting was just a microcosm of this process, representing the power from Xianyang, and we must urgently control the entire China.

Although Jiangbeiting is a native of Qin, he is also a cultured and ambitious person. Although he knows the importance of speeding up the construction of the road, he also has great opinions on recruiting hundreds of thousands of civilians on the eve of summer grain harvest. Otherwise, he would not have solicited opinions from the county magistrate and county magistrate.

However, seeing the unanimous opposition and bowing his head, he was silent for a long time and said sternly: "Two, this is not my ruthlessness in Jiangbeiting, but the Qin Dynasty's laws are strict, I have to do it. How can you ignore Your Majesty's ambitions for the benefit of summer grain? Once you anger Your Majesty the First Emperor, Chi County will flow into a river, and you and I will die a day! "

"It's not that I don't want to wait, but that this time is really..." County Magistrate Liu Tong didn't know how he should continue to talk.
