When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 469 King Han abdicates and Qin undergoes dramatic changes

On the outskirts of Xinzheng City, the Zen Pavilion
Han Wangan and Ying Zheng stood side by side on this temporary meditation platform built by the Shaofu.

There are several pavilions on the stage to entertain ministers and envoys from various countries. At the top of the stage, there is a huge cauldron with raging fire burning in it. King An of Han stood in front of the giant cauldron, holding a red silk edict. .

"In the past, Emperor Yao was in the Zen position of Yu and Shun, and Shun also ordered Yu. The destiny was not always the same, but he had virtue. Han Daoling was late, and the world lost its order. There was great chaos and confusion. The emperor was fierce and rebellious, and the universe was overturned. There was Ji Wu in front of him. Ye rebelled against Xiao Qiang, and later Wei Zhuang usurped Wangcheng.

Lai Qin's army was so powerful that he fought against all odds to protect our ancestral temple. How could one person be given the gift? Jiufu actually received his gift.Now the King of Qin has inherited the foregoing, and has brought glory to Naide, and has expanded the great cause of civil and military affairs.The emperor's spirit descended auspiciously, the gods and men announced the war, the birth was brilliant, the master Xi and I ordered, Qian said that Er Du Ke Xie was in Yu and Shun's hands, led me in the Tang Dynasty, and respected your throne.Yu Xi!The calendar of heaven is in your bow, and if you hold on to it, the fortune of heaven will last forever; you will only obey the great gift, benefit all nations, and inherit the destiny of heaven. "

Han Wangan finished reading the edict of Zen status in one breath, formally abdicating the throne of King Han to Ying Zheng, then held the edict high, walked up the steps in front of the giant cauldron, and threw the edict into the giant cauldron under the blazing fire. Let the flames consume this edict.

This is a warning to heaven and earth and to the ancestors, that is, to publicly acknowledge that Ying Zheng is both the king of Qin and the king of Han.

After reading the edict, Han Wangan was already sweating profusely. It was the intersection of late summer and early autumn. It was hot and dry. Han Wangan, who was fat and afraid of heat, stood in front of the giant cauldron that lit the sacrificial fire. Naturally, he was sweating profusely, but he couldn't care less. With his head covered in sweat, he looked at Ying Zheng with a sense of loss.

Although he had been prepared and determined for a long time, when it came to handing over his ancestral inheritance to others, he was still a little reluctant and ashamed.

In the final analysis, no one wants to be a weak king and a mediocre leader, let alone a subjugated king. Even if such subjugation of the country gave him, the last king of Han, dignity and guaranteed him a wealthy life in the future, that feeling ...No one wants to experience it.

King Han calmed down, took a deep breath, and finally bowed down, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

"My lord, Han An, pay homage to my king!"

After performing three kneels and nine kowtows, Ying Zheng helped him up, then turned to the ministers on the stage and shouted: "From now on, Qin and Han are one, and there is no distinction between Qin people and Koreans in the world. From then on, Yingchuan County , they are all from Qin!"

Zhang Ji stood under the pavilion and looked at his father-in-law's plump body trembling slightly, and couldn't help but secretly thought that Ying Zheng was murdering someone and killing his heart.

This sentence seems to be a public statement by Ying Zheng in order to allow the Koreans to integrate into the Qin State more smoothly. Most of the ministers and envoys from various countries did not notice anything wrong, but Han An, the king of Han, still knew his ancestors to some extent. Of course, when talking about history, I can’t help but think of Han Aihou back then.

Although Han Aihou was unfortunately accidentally killed by Nie Zheng and died young, and his posthumous title was "Ai", he made great achievements during his lifetime. He destroyed the Zheng State that had been cherished by Koreans for generations, moved the capital from Yangzhai to Zheng, and The name was changed to Xinzheng, making it clear that from now on there would be no distinction between Koreans and Zheng people.

How similar are Ying Zheng's words today to those of Han Aihou in the past?

Maybe Ying Zheng didn't do it deliberately, but Zhang Ji couldn't help but look sideways.

It's not that he cares about Han An's father-in-law's thoughts. To put it bluntly, Zhang Ji just thinks that he is Honglian's father, not an elder he cares about.

What Zhang Ji cares about is Ying Zheng's mentality.

Although Ying Zheng was an emperor throughout the ages, he was not a perfect monarch.

Everyone has shortcomings. Some shortcomings are harmless, such as Duke Huan of Qi's good land and lust, but some shortcomings can lead to the destruction of the country, such as being overjoyed at success and getting carried away.

Historically, Ying Zheng, who put down the Lao Ai Rebellion and took back power from Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei, formally took charge of the government. The first military action he arranged was to order Yang Duanhe to attack Wei, capture the Yan clan, and defeat the Wei army. He also ordered Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe and Huan Jue to capture the nine cities of Zhao State one after another.

Two years later, Huanjie attacked Zhao Pingyang and Wucheng. Zhao general Huju led his army to rescue him. He was defeated and killed. The Qin army beheaded [-] people.

Ying Zheng got carried away with this and tried to destroy Zhao in one fell swoop. However, Li Mu lured the enemy deep into the enemy and almost wiped them out, and slapped Ying Zheng awake.

Later, Ying Zheng, who destroyed Han, Zhao and Wei one after another and drove Yan to the barren land of Liaodong, couldn't help but raise his tail when facing Chu and rejected Wang Jian's suggestion to lead 60 troops to attack Chu. After giving Li Xin 20 troops, he was almost completely wiped out in Chu territory again.

Although the second defeat was more due to the betrayal of Lord Changping, an important official who was responsible for the logistics of 20 Qin troops and mastered a large amount of confidential information of the Qin army, rather than a military defeat, Lord Changping was the winner. Zheng sent to the old capital of Chu to appease the people of Chu. In the final analysis, the problem still lies with Ying Zheng.

I don't know if those things will happen again.

After all, Ying Zheng is the king of Qin, and he is only a minister after all.

As Ying Zheng finished speaking, Han An slowly walked down the two steps and bowed to Ying Zheng: "My king will last for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"

"My king will live for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty will live for ten thousand years!" In the pavilion of the Zen platform, all the ministers shouted together. The Qin soldiers in the audience and the Korean people further away also congratulated and praised. There seemed to be a faint voice. It looks a bit like the Qin and Han family.

The news that Ying Zheng accepted Zen from the King of Han spread quickly, and the whole Qin State was naturally the first to learn about it. Ying Zheng sent thousands of sentries to publicize the matter in a high-profile manner in all the cities and towns in the Qin State.

I thought this incident would make the old Qin people excited, but I didn't expect that the Qin people's attitude towards the destruction of Han was very cold, not even as good as the attitude of Qin when it destroyed the Wei Dynasty.

Even the Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who replaced Ying Zheng in handling government affairs in the court, simply nodded, indicating that he knew about the matter, and continued to handle government affairs with his head down.

Lu Buwei's attitude was not an exception. Apart from the merchants and travelers from the six countries who stood on the side of the road with mixed feelings and watched from a distance, the old Qin people couldn't even muster the energy to look at the sentry riders who were raising their arms and shouting. At most, they were in wine shops and restaurants. Just mentioned it in the restaurant.

It's not that the old Qin people's enthusiasm has run cold, but that over the years, the old Qin people have gradually lost interest in South Korea.

It is necessary to defeat South Korea, and destroying South Korea can be done long ago. Even the old farmers farming on the roadside know that the Qin State did not destroy South Korea back then just because it did not want to attract other countries to attack together. Otherwise, as early as the time of King Huiwen, South Korea can be wiped out.

Furthermore, the Qin State has sent General Zhang Ji. If South Korea cannot be destroyed, the people of the country will wonder whether Zhang Ji lied about his military exploits in the last battle of Hezong.

Compared with the topic of South Korea's annexation to Qin, the topic that the old Qin people are more concerned about is which country Qin will target next.

In this regard, many old Qin people blurted out in the wine shop.

"I'll clean up one of them, and then I'll beat that dog to death completely!"

The former one who was sorted out naturally refers to South Korea, and the "dog entered" naturally refers to the old enemy Zhao State.

Qin and Zhao have the same ancestors, and the same blood flows in their bodies, but Qin and Zhao became sworn enemies after the Battle of Changping!

In the Battle of Changping, Zhao lost 45 men overnight, but Qin's losses were not small. Both soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties. Especially in the Battle of Danhan, Qin was unable to attack for a long time and retreated. Increased casualties.

Naturally, the people of Qin would not bear their hatred on King Zhaoxiang and the general Wang Ling, but on the people of Zhao.

Moreover, after the Battle of Danhan, as the Zhao Dynasty gradually eased relations, the powerful Daidi border troops joined Zhao's struggle for hegemony. Zhao also gradually reversed its victory and defeat in the battle with Qin. The record is more wins than defeats.

Although almost all of Zhao's victories were small defensive victories, and the Zhao army as the defender suffered more casualties than the Qin army as the attacker, the Qin army's defeat was an indisputable fact. The people of Lao Qin felt humiliated.

When fighting for the world, victory or defeat on the battlefield is a hard-line division between strong and weak.The Qin army is recognized as the best tiger and wolf army in the world, but it suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of the Zhao army. How can the old Qin people not be angry?
In particular, the Queen of Zhao took the initiative to send veteran Pang Nuan to organize the fifth joint alliance against Qin and served as the coach, completely igniting the anger of the old Qin people, even if that battle ended in a great victory for the Qin army. The disastrous defeat of the Zhao army ended in defeat, but it still could not calm the anger of the old Qin people.

After the founding of the country, the old Qin tribe's temperament of becoming more energetic and warlike the more frustrated they became, and the more defeated they became, gradually evolved into the national temperament of the Qin people.And this kind of national character was brought to its extreme during the period of Qin Xiangong.

At that time, Qin, a poor and weak country, had an army of more than [-]. It clung to the Wei State, which was almost dominating among the princes, and launched a fierce offensive war. The old Qin people who were not afraid of death made the powerful Wei State in a state of embarrassment.

If Duke Xiang of Qin, who was desperately trying to regain the lost land in Hexi, had not died suddenly in the battle, it would not have been impossible for Qin and Wei to fight until their country was destroyed and their families were destroyed.

As soon as Ying Zheng returned to Qin, he noticed that the old Qin people's desire to attack Zhao was brewing crazily, and that passionate fighting spirit further spread to the Qin court.

Some people even speculate that when the Han Dynasty was destroyed, the Qin State only sent a partial army of [-] troops, with Zhang Ji and a group of young and strong generals as generals, perhaps to save national power for the next war with Zhao State.

After all, the three generals of the Qin Dynasty and the main armies of each camp have not been mobilized. Now that South Korea has been destroyed, it is natural to mobilize all the elites to attack the Zhao Kingdom.

However, just when the Qin government and the public were filled with a desire to fight with Zhao, Qin suddenly made waves.

In the early autumn, there was an earthquake in Longxi and Beidi counties of Qin State.Later, the two counties encountered a sudden severe drought, with no harvest, fields were barren, pastures were withered, cattle, sheep and horses were killed and injured, and large groups of hungry people continued to flow into the Guanzhong land.

At the same time, the Queen Mother Xia, the biological grandmother of King Qin Yingzheng, suddenly died of illness.

As this series of sudden disasters followed one after another, the situation in Qin suddenly changed.
