Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills

Feng Li, Feng Quji and others nearby also nodded in agreement, expressing surprise at the speed of the work.

"This is the speed of our Great Qin!" Yang Shu walked forward, his eyes following every building rising from the ground, as if he was waving invisible wings in his hands and changing the fate of this great empire.

Standing with his back to the sun, the sunlight and shadow of Fusu merged together, making him look like a god descending to earth. Feng Quji and others looked at the face that looked like the First Emperor, held their breath, and subconsciously bowed to the ground.

Lingnan region,

In the vast primeval forest, a large caravan pulled by dozens of horses was advancing on a wide road, followed by a large army of thousands of people. Ziying, wearing a green robe and with a face as pale as wax, knelt on one of the carts and waved away a mosquito as small as a fingernail.

The hot summer in Lingnan and the long journey made Ziying, who was in charge of the post of "Shage Ling", exhausted both physically and mentally. Shage Ling was a management position created by Fusu under the Shaofu, a direct agency of Fusu. The salary was 1,000 shi, and the position was responsible for the exclusive affairs of sugarcane production, sugar extraction and sugar sales throughout the country. Ziying still doesn't understand the title of "Shage Ling", but it's not the key.

The key point is the long row of bamboo poles on the leader's car in the distance that go over the heads of the humans, plus the occasional cries of unknown animals from the deep roadside, which make Ziying's spine stand up with chills.

These Yueguo women are charming, delicate and lovely, especially when they call you "cousin"... Ziying recalled Fusu's vivid description before, and her heart was filled with deep regret. Regret, anyway, is very deep.

He was enjoying all the splendor and living a life of debauchery in Xianyang, so why did he have to come to this deserted place to look for her? When Ziying thought about how he had agreed to go here with such enthusiasm because of His Majesty's brief words, he almost wanted to slap himself twice!

The royal descendants around him were also somewhat sad. If they were not afraid of being tortured to death by Prince Yan on the way back, they would have been eager to return to the capital Xianyang. In their view, those heroic deeds seemed unimportant compared to embracing the graceful Chu woman in bed and enjoying themselves.

At the same time, Li Shang, who was sitting on a horse and escorted by a hundred armored soldiers, had a face full of strong desire for the South China Sea region.

Although he is currently only a sergeant-level military officer, His Majesty promised him in the words before parting that if he recruits 100 outstanding Yue warriors, he will be promoted to a captain of 100 men, if he recruits 1,000 men, he will be promoted to a captain of 500 men, and if he recruits 10,000 men, he will be immediately named "Yue Cavalry Captain" and advance to the title of Duke.

Ahaha, when we meet again, you will have to pay homage to a 'gongcheng' like me! Thinking of the glorious career and status in the future, Li Shang raised his lips with satisfaction. At the same time, he took the unstrung crossbow from the horse's back and shot down the Yue warrior who was ambushing in a big tree by the roadside and preparing to attack.

Then, there was a burst of noise, and groups of Yue warriors wearing animal skins who were hiding behind the bushes emerged one after another.

"Gather in formation and protect the lord!" There was a loud shout. He threw the crossbow to the soldiers on the carriage and led the knights to charge bravely.

The sound of horseshoes colliding suddenly rang out: "Thump, thump!" The mules and horses galloped like lightning.

In a moment, Liu Shang rushed to the front of the Yue warriors, leaned forward, and stabbed the enemy with the spear in his hand at lightning speed. Snap! The stab was blocked by the opponent's shield. Then, taking advantage of the momentum of the horse's forward rush, he twisted his arm and quickly cut half of the opponent's throat. The Yue warrior fell to the ground with a bang, blood gushing from his neck, and his limbs twitched constantly due to blood loss and severe pain. This trip will pass through many Yue territories, so the Qin team accompanying him are all experienced warriors, and there are also a group of warriors who have participated in the battle of Qi.

After hearing Liu Shang's order, the infantrymen holding shields quickly formed a formation around the chariots, curled up their bodies in the shield-shaped protection, raised their heavy halberds in both hands and pointed them to the outside, and the sound of powerful crossbows being drawn came from the formation.

If you look down from the air, this army is like a giant beast with bared fangs, waiting for its prey to appear. At the same time, the running Yue warriors entered the shooting range of the wooden bows, and many skilled masters immediately fired arrows.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Most of the arrows were intercepted by the military shields, and only a few Yue warriors with superb archery skills passed through the gaps and shot out.

Fortunately, no one fell to the ground during this process, because the wooden arrow pierced through the enemy's breastplate and bounced out without leaving any trace.

Immediately afterwards, the military launched a fierce counterattack. Arrows released by powerful crossbows shot out from the cracks in the military shields like lightning.

Evil! Evil! Evil!

The Yue warriors, who were wearing animal furs and holding stone axes and sticks, were shot down in large numbers, and those Yue warriors who attempted to attack the Qin army's formation were also fatally stabbed by the sharp halberds exposed behind their shields.

The Yue people were tough and brave, and to them, the Qin army at this time was a complete invader.

The sacrifice of their relatives and friends only intensified their bravery. They wielded wooden sticks and stone axes and desperately hit the iron shields of the Qin army. Although individual bravery could not balance the gap in combat effectiveness and equipment between the Vietnamese warriors and the Qin army.

When the stone hit the iron shield, it only created sparks and made the Qin soldiers' arms numb, but it still could not penetrate the indestructible iron shield.

Behind the strong shield, under the guidance of Captain Wu, elite spears flew out like a gust of wind.

Almost every time the halberd thrust out, it always left obvious wounds or holes on the bodies of the Yue warriors. In an instant, the bodies of the Yue people were scattered in front of the Qin army's shield wall, and the clay road became muddy, bloody, and filled with various body parts and broken organs.

Soon, Ziying realized something was wrong, because in terms of the ratio of death and injury, the resistance of the Yue people was obviously much stronger than that of the elite troops of the Central Plains countries.

It is understandable that they would not retreat to the death in the face of the enemy, because they knew that more mid-level and senior generals or even higher positions would emerge from these hundreds of guards, and these promotions would mean great honor and social status for the soldiers. As for the Yue people, after experiencing countless battles, they should have understood better that they were facing an armed force with sufficient capabilities, not ordinary provocateurs.

Could it be that the ants are still trying to survive secretly, and they are unable to see that the attacking convoy actually possesses a powerful armed force?

Dying like this really doesn't fit the usual meaning of "seeking death", right?

With this question in mind, Ziying looked at Ren Xiang, who was shaving his face gently with his beard, as if he was used to it, and raised his doubts.

Ren Xiong smiled and said, "My lord, you may not understand that since Taizu established the Lingnan and Nanyue counties, this land has been cultivated by the Yue people for hundreds or even thousands of years, and its fertile land has become our treasure."

"The remaining Yue people were driven away by our Qin Dynasty and fled to the mountains in panic, where they were forced to compete with the barbaric tribes for territory and living space."

"Although they relied on slightly better weapons and equipment to fight against some of the Vietnamese tribes that originally occupied the territory in the mountains, the fertile farmland deep in the dense forest was far from being able to support the lives of so many people."

"So every autumn or winter, similar raids will occur frequently, whether they are successful or not."

Suddenly, Ziying spoke out his own understanding. "You mean, the Yue people tried to reduce the excess population through these methods?" Ren Xiao nodded in agreement, "That's right!" As if remembering something, he continued, "The king called this 'rat group that destroyed itself.'"

When Ziying mentioned the "rat group that killed itself", his brows knitted into a small hillock. "What a strange name." He also asked, "Have you told the king about this situation?"

Ren Xiong just nodded without answering, took the halberd from his followers, and rested for the next exhausted soldier. Seeing the Yue warriors fighting regardless of life and death, Ziying suddenly realized some truths that Fusu told him before he left Beijing:

"When foreigners invade us, we will treat their culture or nation with the same rules."

"Both sides put aside their differences and cooperated in development."

“Follow the success story of Baja and grant them the position of chieftaincy so that they can become a bastion to connect and strengthen the relationship between our subjects and foreign settlers.”

There were also measures such as restricting Qin women from marrying outsiders, even if the other party was a foreign leader. Those who violated the rules would be punished by having two soldiers serve for twenty years. Except for the last measure, which made Ziying feel surprised and helpless, he could understand and agree with the other measures to some extent:

This time they went to Lingnan Shanhai County, bringing nearly one million gold coins, and more than a dozen royal descendants and former military officer Gong Shufei, with the aim of promoting the planting of sugar plantations in the South China Sea region.

Ziying looked into the distance through the gaps in the shield and saw several female generals with tattoos on their faces commanding the Yue people on the battlefield.

Recalling what Ren Xiong said, some of the more primitive Yue tribes were female-led groups, where people only knew their mothers but did not remember their fathers' names.

After personally witnessing this scene, Ziying realized that Ren Xiong's story was accurate. This reminded him of the origin research issue he had discussed with several doctors in Xianyang:

In fact, the three major families of Qin, Zhao and Chu have common historical roots.

The ancestor of the Chu family was Cheng, the son of Gaoyang. Cheng had a son, Juanzhang, who later gave birth to a grandson, Wuhui, and Wuhui passed the throne to his grandson Jilian.

Ji Lian's surname was Mi, and he was the ancestor of the Chu State at that time. In the era of King Wen of Zhou, a branch of his family, the Xiong clan, migrated to the Jingshan area on the edge of the Central Plains to evade attack and surrendered to King Wen, assisting Prince Wen for three generations to defeat the Zhou Dynasty.
