In the eyes of historians of later generations, the biggest difference between the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is that the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period were aimed at fighting for hegemony, while the wars in the Warring States Period were aimed at mergers.

The former is just for a name, and if you lose, you won't lose anything except face and money. If you lose the latter, you will not only lose face, but may even lose your life.

It is precisely because of this that every war in the Warring States period was more cautious and more tragic.

Especially in the war of subjugation, blood will flow like rivers.

Therefore, after Wei State withdrew from the world stage in such a ridiculous posture of destroying the country, almost no country was willing to believe that this was the truth.They generally believed that the Qin people bribed the generals who guarded the gate to open the gate for them secretly.

This is not just a problem between Qin and Wei, but a problem of the relationship between Qin, a barbarian, and the six eastern countries that respect etiquette.

If the city gates were really opened by the people of Wei State, wouldn't it make them admit that in the eyes of Wei State people, being ruled by Qin State is better than being ruled by Wei State?

The Wei State in the core area of ​​the Central Plains culture is not as good as the Qin State, which governs the country with cruel punishments. This is a blow to the Central Plains cultural countries, which is far worse than Wei State being trampled by Qin King Qin’s iron cavalry to destroy the country. Much bigger.

But that's what it is.

Wei Liao and Meng Tian, ​​who were in charge of attacking Wei State at that time, were caught off guard by the sudden failure of the city gate, but both of them concealed their surprise with stern faces.

Afterwards, a series of events followed in an orderly manner, including entering the city, relocating them, and sealing the king of Wei and the nobles in the palace of the king of Wei. Judging from their reactions, absolutely no one thought that their original purpose was just to intimidate them. It is still a bit awkward to rush forward and defeat Wei Guo.

And while they were waiting for the next order from Xianyang, the bold Wei Min came to the door Qiqiaiai and asked them if they could become Qin nationality now.

Both Wei Liao and Meng Tian were speechless for a moment, they looked at each other with the same sentence: Jing Xi's idea, is there really someone who actually takes this approach?

Facts have proved that there are a lot of people who eat this set. With the first one, there will be the second and three soon...

Half a month later, Kuai Ma sent King Qin's decree. King Wei and his three generations of blood all entered Xianyang. The existing officials of Wei State were temporarily dismissed. They needed to be investigated and re-studied before talking about recovery. Of course, they would definitely not be in Wei again. country to work.

Along with the decree came a whole new set of leadership team sent by Qin State to the local area. The old land of Wei State was divided into Dang County and governed 21 counties.Most of these people were young people who had previously served as second in command or had work experience in various counties and counties of Qin State. Not all of them were from Qin State, but they were all of Qin State nationality.

The leader is also an acquaintance of Wei Liao, and it is Li Si, another junior of Wei Liao.

Li Si, who was wearing a black official uniform of the Qin State, held a brand new administrative map of Dang County and cupped his hands at Wei Liao: "Next, please trouble your brother to hand over to us."

Wei Liao took the document, took the ink pad he carried with him for verification, and then nodded: "It's a matter of duty, but you are here... Where is Shu County...?"

Li Si's gentle smile stopped, and his eyes glanced slightly, but his expression was a bit strange.

The King of Qin seems to have turned Shu County into a training class, but anyone who can work in Shu County for a year is considered qualified, and can be pulled out to various places immediately.Facts have proved that all those who can carry the terrible workload of Shu County are indeed talents.

Li Si's tenure in Shu County has been much longer than that of Lu An and Han Fei, so he has seen more - the grassroots officials in Shu County were sent here in waves, and then transported out by trucks. It is the iron-clad county guard and the county magistrate.If Li Bing hadn't been vigilant and repeatedly wrote in letters saying how much he couldn't do without Li Si, Li Si might not have been able to stay until now before being poached away.

The reason why I can't keep it now is because Li Si himself wants to go outside to have a look. Jun Cheng.

When Li Si just boarded the carriage, he saw his county guard immediately turned his head and held the hand of the new county magistrate and said very sincerely: "Brother Xiao, Shu County cannot do without you!"

——When Li Si arrived in Shu County, he also said this to himself. If he hadn't already married a wife and was a little older, Li Bing would still have told him about his daughter...

"Brother Xiao, I heard that you are not married yet? To tell you the truth, there is a daughter in my husband's family, she is twenty-eight years old, she is beautiful and sensible..."

Li Si: "..."

Until now, thinking of the scene when he left, Li Si couldn't control his facial expressions. He felt that the Li Bing he saw after a few years would definitely not be the taciturn and steady Li Junshou he knew. Time really is a killing knife...cough Cough, just thinking about it now, it was quite interesting to have such a scene.

He was born in the state of Chu, and he knew the bureaucratic class of the state of Chu quite well. It was absolutely impossible for the bureaucratic class of the state of Chu to have such a scene.

If it is in the state of Chu, the pinnacle of personal ability is the ordinary small official, and then it all depends on the relationship.Since it depends on relationships, it is natural to stand in line, and it is even more normal for Heguang Tongchen to know the white and defend the black.

Li Si didn't dislike this. He was very talented in this aspect from a very young age. He was a person who would make people feel good when they met him.

Managing relationships, managing emotions, and then climbing up at all costs are the paths he chose for himself in the past, and everything changed when he met Han Fei who was also studying abroad when he was young. Of course, Now he has to call Senior Brother.

At that time, he had a good conversation with this senior brother, and he went to study in Qin State together. Originally, he wanted to worship under Xun Qing, but who knew that Xun Qing had already been hired by the King of Qin at that time, so they also entered the Qin State Academy .

In the dark, Li Si can feel that this is an important turning point in his fate.

It was a very mysterious feeling, hard to explain in words, but Li Si knew that from that moment on, his path had changed.

And the second change may be that he was taken to Shu County by his little brother.

Unlike Han Fei, who wanted to return to South Korea after finishing his studies, Li Si set his own goal from the very beginning - that is to climb as high as possible, so Li Si is happy to stay in Shu County as an official .

The life in Shu County is very hard, which is completely different from the open and advanced Xianyang. The closed environment and extremely poor education make it difficult for most people in Shu County to even communicate with them, and it is also difficult to bring in materials, except for local agricultural products. It is extremely rich, and you can even eat rice to eat to your fullness. The difficulty is beyond imagination for these Xianyang students.

But at the same time, the people of Shu County are born with an impetus to go up and out. This impetus makes them not willing to learn new things like those barbarians from Chu who hide in the mountains and forests.

They are more than willing to learn, and they are not stupid.The first few years were really hard, but fortunately their hard work was not in vain. Seeing that Shu County has changed a little bit, there are more farmland, more pigsty, more dyeing houses, more schools, and more deposit.

The news that the business roads brought by the merchants from the south was a huge surprise.Although the southern countries are still in war, they are very willing to exchange various materials for the exquisite cloth of Shu. Cotton, mung beans, and better varieties of rice have been introduced one after another, and a large number of exotic flavors have also been introduced. gold ornaments and precious stones.

After inquiring, they learned that the soil in the southern country is very fertile, so fertile that there is no need to cultivate it to get a harvest. Because of this, even if they are in war, they can still provide a lot of food.

The tribe they came into contact with had a great demand for copper ware, and they were also very interested in Qin's copper farm tools. After getting approval, Shu County exchanged a batch of grain seeds with them.

Now these grain seeds with larger yields have been trial planted in some areas in the south of Qin State. Unfortunately, although the rice yield is high, it is not cold-resistant, so most areas of Qin State cannot be planted.However, under the order of the King of Qin, all those who are good at farming will enter Shu. They want to cultivate rice that combines the advantages of both Qin rice and Nan rice as much as possible, and then promote it.

From when Li Si entered Shu to when he left Shu in just a few years, Shu County has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Jianmen Pass built at the dangerous point of Jinniu Road is built on the mountain, guarding the most important rear area of ​​Qin State.

Although most people in Shu County still speak Qin dialect with some accents, the Qin characters they write are already more standard than many old Qin people.They have also gone through the transition from when the students of Shu County had to be officially recommended to enter the Xianyang Academy, now they have been able to rely on their own ability to be admitted to the Academy.

More and more people from Shu County have left Shu County, and more and more people from Qin have entered Shu County.The caravans and pedestrians traveling to and from the Shu road have never stopped except during the winter snow, and now there are more and more tourists.

For safety, the Shu Road even stipulated passage safety rules.

Shu County is no longer the Shu County of the past, and Li Si is not the Li Si of the past.

He smiled casually: "Your Majesty has appointed a newcomer, who can be regarded as our junior. His name is Xiao He. By the way, Junior Xiao has a friend who is also here this time. Let me introduce you."

He called a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who looked at him with an extremely kind face and said: "This is Liu Bang, with the word Ji, and he will go to Shanfu County as the county magistrate."

"He is also half a local. The magistrate of Liu County is Yupei County, not far from here. Coincidentally, he was the first batch of talents elected by Dong County. Before that, he served as county magistrate in Shangdang County. He happened to be reporting his duties in Xianyang, so he was transferred here, and he just turned [-], so he can be said to be young and promising."

Wei Liao's eyes flashed, and after saluting with him, he smiled and said: "You are indeed young and promising."

"It's not as good as the two of you. You have to learn a lot." Liu Bang bowed deeply, and retreated into the crowd after a few words of greeting. His gaze was a little different.

Li Si's short few words have built a relationship for him. Don't look at just mentioning it like this, but if he can leave an impression in the eyes of Wei Liao, a general who destroys the country, he will probably have a blessing in the future.

And Liu Bang knew very well that Li Si would speak for him, it must be because of Xiao He, he recorded this kindness in his heart, different from the calm expression, his heart was extremely surging at this moment.

His eyes swept across Wei Liao who was handing over to Li Si in armor, and then his colleagues with different expressions, but all of them came with the heart of doing a big job, secretly clenched their fists.

What Li Si said just now scratched his heart deeply, this place is indeed not far from Pei County, it can be reached in a day by fast horse, so it seems that he has not returned home for four or five years.

In the past, he was the third son whose parents failed to live up to him, and the younger brother who was disliked by his brothers and sisters. He could go to the fields like his parents and elder brothers, but he couldn't swallow this breath. It seemed that someone told him in the dark, "He is not a A person who should face the loess, he should have a great career to create, but the time has not yet come."

Before leaving his hometown, he wanted to study with Lord Xinling, but he heard that Lord Xinling had passed away when he first arrived in Wei State. Disappointed, he went north and changed his destiny.By the time he is standing here now, he has already become a county magistrate of Qin State.

Not returning home after becoming famous is like traveling in brocade clothes at night, but Liu Bang felt that it was not the time. He felt that this was not the end, but a new beginning. According to the current situation of Qin State, the future will only be better, never worse.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as Liu Bang. The fact that Qin State captured Wei State was not only beyond the expectations of the six countries, but in fact, the management of Qin State did not expect it at all.However, Qin State's strong system management ability made Qin State's emergency response capability extremely strong. Almost the second day after the news reached the capital, the whole system began to operate. In the afternoon of the same day, the list of officials to be dispatched was ready.

Two days later, the King of Qin and his ministers discussed and decided to divide them into 21 counties. The corresponding list was quickly adjusted and a candidate list was given. What are the advantages and disadvantages at a glance.

This time, most of the people who were sent to Dang County were small officials from this area of ​​origin. Because there were not enough people, Ying Zheng also packed in a few people around him, including Gao Jianli recommended by Meng Tian and his father. His lieutenant Qingke.

Qing Ke traveled all the way to Qin country to repay the kindness of other people to his family. Although there were a series of oolongs such as admitting the wrong person, fortunately, he found the right person in the end.Qing Ke was quite speechless about the fact that his family's savior was the King of Qin, and Yiren was also very embarrassed about this fate, especially when he knew that Qing Ke still found Lu Buwei at the beginning.

Since then, Qingke has been kept by Yiren's side as a lieutenant. Later, under the instruction of the King of Qin, he also brought his family to Qin State. The Yiren personally summoned Qingke's uncles and rewarded him with a farmhouse. Give it up to this extremely narrow-minded family.

Qingke is skilled in martial arts, but he took a wild path earlier. In Xianyang, Yiren specially let him receive professional education. In addition to martial arts, he also has the art of war. Obviously, he did not intend to let him be a guard all the time.

Since then, Qing Ke has also gone to the battlefield many times, seeking a career for himself and his family.

Gao Jianli was an accident.After being recommended by Meng Tian to the King of Qin, the King of Qin’s initial influence on him was that he was good at being happy. Who would have thought that after a conversation, he was also good at governing. According to common sense, he should be sent after receiving the training on the basic laws of the State of Qin. He went for an internship, but because there was a real shortage of people, Ying Zheng stuffed him in.

The team of nearly 50 grassroots officials sent by Qin State to Wei State this time were basically all grassroots officials selected or self-recommended in the past two years, or graduated from the academy, and none of them were blood-born nobles.

And this time, it was naturally a bold experiment and attempt by the Qin State. The King of Qin expressed deep expectations for them, and these young people never let them down.Half a year later, the situation in Wei State was basically calmed down. One year later, all the household registrations of Wei State were re-registered, and the land was re-measured. The land was confiscated, and the land was distributed to the common people of Qin who had no land in Wei, and the rest went to the treasury.

Another six months later, after the autumn harvest, the local people took the initiative to send grain to the warehouse, and they expressed their trust in this seemingly extremely unreliable system.

Two years later, [-]% of the people of Wei State became the nationality of Qin State.

It took Qin State four years to finally digest the land of Wei State. During this period of time, Qin State was not idle. In the second year after breaking Wei, the Qin Army sent troops to attack from left and right, broke through Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, and established Yingchuan County.

After that, the State of Qin sent troops to the north, and fought with the State of Zhao for half a year to swallow it up. Afterwards, King Yan and King Qi surrendered one after another, but the war against Chu did not go smoothly. The state of Qin was at a stalemate, and Qin Wangzheng vigorously trained sailors and boatmen. After the advent of treasure ships suitable for fighting in narrow waterways, Yingzheng personally conquered Chu.

The morale of the Qin army, which made a comeback, broke through Shouchun of Chu State in one fell swoop, and the king of Chu surrendered.

And at this moment, Ying Zheng had a dream, of course he knew it was a dream, because that dream was really terrible, how could he make his life so miserable.

In the dream, he and his mother were left in the country of Zhao by his father. When the mother and son finally returned to the country of Qin after suffering all kinds of abuse, his father had already given birth to a son with another woman.

When he returned to Qin State, he knew nothing and was oppressed everywhere. In such an environment, he learned the way of a monarch and minister from his father, learned how to govern the country from his husband Lu Buwei, and learned the way of the Qin army as a soldier from the two generals of King Meng. , learn from Shangjun, learn from Xiaogong, and learn all the knowledge he missed before.

He studied very hard and worked very hard, but in the end he made Qin Guo accept him and his mother by himself.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, his father died young, he was too young to be in charge of the throne, the husband was in charge of the government, and the power became more important, his younger brother betrayed, he insisted that Zheng Guoqu was a policy for the weak country of Korea, his mother betrayed, and the respected husband made his mother The direct cause of the betrayal... His world collapsed overnight, and he couldn't believe anyone except himself and King Qin's Tiger Talisman.

What is right and what is wrong, he has doubts about everything before him, and it is this doubt and distrust that makes him unable to tolerate opposing opinions as he used to, and is also full of insecurity.

He no longer trusted anyone, not even his own son.

And in the end, the last person he trusted also betrayed him—he didn't know who it was, but he could feel the sadness and anger.

——He owned the world, but lost all the people he loved.

——In that world, no one loves him.

Ying Zheng knew that this was a dream, because in the dream there was no brother, Mrs. Lu, or his wife, and there were not too many people, and the faces of many people were blurred.

But he couldn't wake up, he just watched him in the dream being buried in the extremely luxurious royal tomb, and then watched the usurper son disrupt all the balance he had worked so hard to maintain before .

The result of reckless behavior is a killing scene.

You kill me, I kill you, until the final winner is a young man, but there is not much time left for him, he ran to his cemetery, kowtowed three heads in front of his grave, and then Bring your family and present the king's seal at the city gate to ask for your surrender, and ask for orders for the people of Xianyang City.

After his head fell to the ground, Xianyang turned into a monstrous fire.Another unruly young man with hatred in his eyes came to his grave, dropped a jar of wine and set fire to it.

In the vicissitudes of life, there are too many people going back and forth in front of his grave. The majestic Xianyang Palace in the past has become the burial place of later dynasties. The wind and sand gradually buried the memory of a city.

He saw too much, and at the end he felt his chest was heavy and his eye sockets were hot. Finally, he opened his eyes and saw the zenith of the Xianyang Palace. At this time, the place has not been painted with complicated and magnificent colors, and it is plain and clean. It looks very pleasing to the eye.

Ying Zheng wanted to sit up, but felt his chest was heavy. When he looked down, he saw two small hairpins.

He froze for a moment, and then heard the childish voice of the person in his arms: "Daddy, is it dawn?"

Ying Zheng looked at the sky outside, and before he could speak, he heard a response: "The sun is about to set, Fusu Xiaozhu, get up quickly! Don't make trouble with your father again!"

The speaker was a beautiful woman, naturally not as beautiful as the three thousand beauties in the harem in his dream, but no matter how she looked at her, she was pleasing to the eye.Seeing his gaze fixed on her, the woman turned her head and raised her eyebrows: "Ah Zheng, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ying Zheng's lips trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.He rubbed his head and sat up: "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly discovered... It's better to only have one daughter-in-law."

If you only have a baby with your wife, you won't have the bad boy in your dream.

Having said that, there is no brother in the dream, but Lu Buwei has several concubines.

Ying Zheng felt that Lu Buwei's fate in the end probably had something to do with this.Maybe Mrs. Lu divorced him... He heard from his elder brother that when he was very young, he encouraged Mrs. Lu and his irresponsible father to get back together, just for the sake of his father's reformation. Ahem, according to Lu Buwei's style in the dream... Mrs. Lu absolutely can't bear it.

Thinking like this, Ying Zheng didn't notice his wife's willow eyebrows that were gradually erected and the movements of putting his son in the bamboo basket and covering it.

In the eighth year of Qin Wangzheng, in the sixth month of summer, Qin ruled the world, and Qin Wangzheng worshiped heaven in Yongcheng.
