Chapter 140 The End of the Journey to the West

In the original time and space, Ying Zheng took power in the eighth year of King Zheng of Qin. Because of Lu Buwei's voluntary concession, King Zheng of Qin took power in the fifth year of King Zheng of Qin.

Facts have proved that Lu Buwei's initiative to retreat was wise. When Ying Zheng became emperor in the eighth year of King Zheng of Qin, he still appointed Lu Buwei as the prime minister of Qin.

Because Ying Zheng became emperor eighteen years earlier than the twenty-sixth year of King Zheng of Qin, the famous general Wang Jian was in his prime. Ying Zheng did not care that his achievements would threaten his authority, so he placed him on the front line of attacking foreign races.

Wang Jian was really powerful. He beat the Xiongnu Chanyu, Touman Chanyu, Maodun's father, so hard that he fled in panic. At that time, Maodun was just a little baby who had just learned to walk, and it would be decades before he killed his father with the Mingdi weapon.

The fearful Chanyu Tuoman looked at the only 20,000 remaining soldiers around him, and suddenly had a look of damnation on his face. Who had he provoked to be suddenly devastated by the army of the First Emperor?

"Chanyu, a messenger has arrived to report that the Qin army has already built a city on our Xiongnu land?"

"What? Are the Qin people not planning to leave?"

"The Qin people also issued a decree that once the city is built, all herders are welcome to live and trade in the city, and they will also issue Qin identity cards!"

"Damn it!" Touman Chanyu angrily swung his sword and split the wooden table in front of him into two halves.

"The Qin people are trying to drive us Xiongnu to our doom!"

The dull atmosphere in the big tent was suddenly broken by a report.

"speak!"

"Chanyu, an envoy from the Great Qin has arrived!"

"What? There are people who are not afraid of death? Bring them in!"

"Yes! Chanyu!"

Soon, the Xiongnu warriors returned to the tent with an old man and saluted Chanyu Tuoman. "Chanyu Tuoman, I am Yao Jia, the Minister of the Great Qin. I have come to persuade you to accept the title bestowed by the Emperor of the Great Qin!"

"What? You want me to accept the title from Ying Zheng? Forget it!"

"Why are you deceiving yourself, Chanyu Touman? General Wang Jian, the military god of the Great Qin, will be pursuing you with his army immediately. With only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses, Chanyu is like an egg against a rock!"

"you"

"Touman Chanyu, you Xiongnu are not a united people. If you are truly unwilling to accept the Qin's enthronement and continue to resist our Qin Heavenly Army, we will contact the other Xiongnu tribes!"

Touman knew that what Yao Jia said was true. He had reached the end of his rope and there would be other tribes willing to accept the Qin Dynasty's enthronement.

"What conditions can Daqin offer?"

Hearing Touman Chanyu ask this question, Yao Jia knew that he was moved. Then Yao Jia smiled and said, "My emperor will enthrone you, Touman, as the Chanyu of the Xiongnu. You must accept the unified leadership of the Great Qin. All your family members will settle in Xianyang, and then the Xiongnu army will be integrated into the Great Qin Heavenly Army!"

"Your conditions are too harsh!"

"Touman Chanyu, the living conditions and learning environment in Xianyang will be very beneficial to your descendants! When the time comes, Touman Chanyu will be like General Wang Jian, conquering the world for our Great Qin and will surely reach the highest position among the officials."

"This" Touman Chanyu became a little hesitant.

"Shan Yu, you should know that General Wang Jian was originally from Qi. He was only given important positions after coming to our Great Qin! He quickly became the God of War of the Great Qin! We have an old saying in the Central Plains: 'Thousand-mile horses are common, but Bole is rare!'"

"Doctor Yao Jia, if my Touman truly accepts the Emperor's canonization, will he truly be treated equally? And won't he be discriminated against?" "Haha, Chanyu, don't worry! Back then, the Kingdom of Han was the first to submit to the Qin Empire, and it still received preferential treatment. Not only was the throne hereditary, but Prince Fei also became a key official of the Qin Empire! Not to mention the other members of the Han royal family who were appointed to official positions!"

Ying Zheng's preferential treatment of the royal families of Han, Wei and Qi has become a golden signboard, which is now used by Yao Jia.

"Yes! I, Touman, am willing to accept the Emperor's conferment!"

"Haha, Touman Chanyu, you made a wise choice. Gather your troops now and follow me to Xianyang to receive the title!"

"Yes! Doctor Yao Jia!"

After solving the problem of the Xiongnu, he immediately began to recruit soldiers from the Xiongnu, and then formed a new Qin army together with part of the Qin army, and then joined forces with Wang Ben's army in Yan to attack the Donghu.

Yao Jia was not idle and accelerated the construction of the city. Then Ying Zheng asked Lu Buwei to start moving some people from Guandong to the new city.

Ying Zheng suddenly realized that the more people there were, the better, and then he issued a series of policies to encourage childbirth.

After the Donghu were eliminated by the Qin army, in order to stabilize the situation outside the Great Wall, Ying Zheng specially discussed with King Ying Xi of Wu. After obtaining his consent, he enthroned him as the King of the Northern Frontier, giving him control of some military and political power of the Xiongnu and Donghu.

After the Qin Dynasty stabilized outside the Great Wall, Ying Zheng began to organize an army to destroy Wei Man Joseon, and established counties and prefectures to unify the learning of the Qin Dynasty's writing.

As for the Baiyue area in Lingnan, he only sent Meng Yi to lead 50,000 Qin troops, and then recruited troops locally in Lingnan to slowly develop the Baiyue area in Lingnan.

In order to better control the Korean Peninsula and later the Indochina Peninsula, Ying Zheng sent skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to work together to develop new types of ships. Only by advancing both by land and sea can they truly control overseas territories.

After that, all the focus of the Qin State was on recuperation and development into the Western Regions, the same strategy as the later Western Han Dynasty.

In the 36th year of Emperor Qin Shihuang's reign, Ying Zheng was already 49 years old. After years of hard work, he could not even remember how many sons he had.

As soon as Ying Zheng's sons came of age and passed rigorous examinations, those who passed would be granted fiefdoms throughout the country and be stationed in a county, with duties similar to those of military supervisors and political commissars in later generations.

After years of recuperation, the population of Qin State exploded, and both humanities and commerce were extremely developed. Because there were not many restrictions on commercial activities, most of the tax revenue came from commerce, so Qin State's agriculture also developed healthily.

Ying Zheng found Liu Bang, and arranged for him and the grown-up Maodun to be his personal guards. Unfortunately, Xiang Yu was not found, because when Xiang Yan committed suicide after his defeat in the eighth year of the reign of King Qin, Xiang Yu did not yet exist, so there was no Xiang Yu in this world.

In order to make Xianyang more prosperous, the First Emperor ordered the merchants and nobles of the six states to move to Xianyang, and then Ying Zheng moved Lu Zhi's father Lu Gong and his family to Xianyang.

In the end, Ying Zheng took Lu Zhi into his harem and had her give birth to children for him, so there was no possibility for her to rebel against the Qin Dynasty anymore.

Although he had paid more attention to his health over the years and did not believe the advice of those alchemists to take some poisonous "immortality pills", Ying Zheng was still worried about any accidents, so he ordered Liu Bang and Maodun to be executed in advance, and embalmed them with mercury and placed them in his own tomb.

Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Zhang Liang also did not escape and were also dealt with in advance by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Looking at the five guys being buried, Ying Zheng suddenly felt a little regretful because Xiang Yu was not brought together.

After doing all these, Ying Zheng suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as if something was missing. Then he thought of Lu Buwei, and he knew the reason. Then he moved the tombs of all the important ministers who had served him to his own tomb, and only then did he feel comfortable.

Ying Zheng's feeling was not wrong. No matter how he took care of his body, he felt the pull of the power of time and space on the day when the First Emperor passed away.

Fortunately, Prince Fusu was well educated by himself and was helped to ascend the throne of emperor by Ying Zheng in advance, becoming the Second Emperor of Qin in the world of King of Qin. As for the other princes, they did not grow up ugly and were all granted fiefdoms to guard one side.

After thinking carefully, he found that there was nothing missing, and then he left this world. Then the First Emperor passed away, and was sent to the First Emperor's Mausoleum by Qin Ershi Fusu.
