Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

Today, the Qin State still has a million-strong army, which is divided into several major parts.

Among them, the elite are still the four major armies of the Qin State.

The Golden Fire Cavalry of the Meng family is stationed near the Great Wall, and together with other troops, it forms the current Great Wall Army, with a total of about 300,000 people.

The Pingyang Heavy Armored Army led by Li Xin is stationed at Hangu Pass, guarding the important road between Guanzhong and the east.

Even though the six countries have been unified now, Guanzhong, as the place where the dragon rises, is still the top priority.

The Hundred Battles Armored Army of the Wang family is more scattered, stationed in the entire eastern land centered on Dongjun, suppressing anti-Qin people from various countries.

And the Xianyang Imperial Army led by the First Emperor himself is naturally stationed in Xianyang.

In addition, the Qin State also has local guards. Although these are only second-line troops and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the four elite armies, they are enough to protect the local area.

The largest number of troops were stationed in Baiyue.

In order to attack Baiyue, the First Emperor mobilized nearly one million soldiers and horses to fight back and forth, and finally conquered Baiyue.

29In order to prevent the people of Baiyue from rioting, 300,000 troops were stationed in the entire Baiyue area, led by Ren Xiong.

These are all the legions of the entire Qin State, with a total number of one million.

In this country with a population of only 20 million, the support of a million troops and the same 29 million prisoners is a huge burden on the national strength.

Shangjun, where the Great Wall Legion is stationed.

Fusu looked worried. Looking at the information from Xianyang, he paced in place with a frown.

Meng Tian looked at Fusu who was swaying around. He held his forehead and said, "Sir, don't move. I'm dizzy."

Fusu apologized, knelt on the couch, and said worriedly, "General Meng has received information from Xianyang."

Meng Tian nodded and said, "The Meng family also sent me news that your majesty is seriously ill and has not attended court for half a month."

"Plus the time it takes to transmit information, I'm afraid your majesty has not attended court for a longer time, which means that your majesty's health may be..."

Speaking of this, Meng Tian quickly shut up.

As the eldest son of the First Emperor, Fusu knew that his father was in poor health.

He also persuaded his father to conserve his energy and not to worry about state affairs, and was scolded by the First Emperor for this.

Sometimes, Fusu was too kind, and even pleaded for some people that the First Emperor wanted to kill, which is why the First Emperor was dissatisfied with him.

Such a person who is not decisive in killing is really not suitable to be an emperor.

Fusu may be too kind and soft-hearted, but he still has a political sense. He hurriedly said: "Father...Father has not sent me an order to let me return to Xianyang."

The extended meaning of this is that the First Emperor may not intend to let him succeed to the throne.

However, although Fusu's words were anxious,, but he did not have any resentment.

People with gentle personalities also have their advantages, that is, he always obeys the decisions of the First Emperor.

Meng Tian also frowned and said, "What are you going to do, sir? Do you want to secretly return to Xianyang?"

"Please forgive my rudeness. If you secretly return to Xianyang, I am afraid that it will anger your majesty. At that time, it will not be exile, but may be..."

Meng Tian did not finish the next words, but Fusu knew what he wanted to say.

If he secretly returned to Xianyang, the First Emperor could completely arrest him in the name of rebellion. With the cruelty of the First Emperor, he would probably chop off his head even if he was his own son.

Fusu naturally did not dare to really return to Xianyang.

He just sighed and said, "Of course I understand what General Meng meant, but, the situation is complicated now, and I am not at the center of the political situation in Xianyang, so I don't know anything, and I am still worried."

Meng Tian didn't know how to respond. He was also worried at this time, not knowing how to choose.

If, if His Majesty really didn't establish Fusu, and someone else ascended the throne after His Majesty's death, would the prince encourage him to lead the 300,000 troops of the Great Wall Army to the south?

That would be a crime of treason, and Meng Tian was absolutely unwilling to do it. It was too dangerous.

But if he didn't do it, if Fusu was liquidated, he would definitely be implicated, and it would be even more difficult for him at that time.

Meng Tian sometimes complained that His Majesty was really cruel back then, pushing the prince directly to their Meng family, leaving them with no choice.

If possible, the Meng family would like to learn from the Wang family and not get involved in these inheritance issues. Anyway, no matter who becomes the emperor, they will need the Meng family.

And now, the Meng family is forced to have no way out.

…

The news that the First Emperor will not attend court for a month has already spread all over the country and the seven countries through various channels.

The six hall masters gathered at the headquarters of the Nong family because the long-lost hero Tian Guang suddenly appeared in the Nong family.

He held the Shennong Order, and the name of the hero was prestigious among the Nong family disciples. Even if the six hall masters had different intentions when he disappeared, they all gathered their thoughts and paid homage to the hero.

The master of Kuiwei Hall Chen Sheng, the master of Chiyou Hall Tian Hu, the master of Lieshan Hall Tian Meng, the master of Siyue Hall Situ Wanli, the master of Gonggong Hall Tian Zhong, and the master of Shennong Hall Zhu Jia.

Although they had been filthy and plotting against each other during the days when Tian Guang was not around, they dared not have any second thoughts at this moment, looking at the man at the top who was dressed like an ordinary old farmer.

"Meet Xia Kui!"

The six hall masters all greeted him. Tian Hu, the hall master of Chi You Hall, was very aggressive and asked bluntly: "Xia Kui, where have you been all these years? Why didn't you tell the brothers? It's so easy for the brothers to find you."

Tian Guang said: "In these years, in order to resist Qin and complete the Qinglong plan of the King of Chu, I fled eastward.Going west, he has been in contact with various places, and at the same time contacting those who have hatred towards Qin State to collect intelligence. "

"I think you have heard the news from Xianyang. The First Emperor is seriously ill and is estimated to die soon. Now is the time to do something big."

Many hall masters were excited and hesitant when they heard the news.

The hesitant people mainly thought, why should the Nong family get involved, this rebellion is not that simple.

Tian Guang looked at several hall masters and said lightly: "Qin State has always wanted to destroy our Nong family. Those spies and the Nong family's army gathered near Daze Mountain can see one or two."

"Don't have any fluke mentality. If you don't unite with other anti-Qin forces at this time, the Nong family will be destroyed by Qin State one day."

"Our Nong family is not the Mohist School. Without the mechanical city, even if there are many people and geographical advantages, it is probably difficult to stop the Qin army. ”

Tian Guang’s words were meant to stop the minds of those hall masters who didn’t want to rebel.

Tian Hu absolutely supported Tian Guang, a member of his family, and immediately stood up: “Xia Kui, as long as you give an order, we Chiyou Hall will do it with you!”

Seeing this, the other hall masters had no choice but to swear.

Tian Guang nodded and said immediately: “Chen Sheng, I will give you a task. You take your brother Wu Guang to contact those prisoners near Daze Mountain.”

“Some of them did not commit serious crimes or even no crimes, but they were captured by Qin to perform labor service, and they all hated Qin very much.”

“As long as we grasp this mentality, we will surely make them become my disciples of the farming family and raise a rebellion against Qin.”

“Now, we will wait for the death of the First Emperor, and then we will destroy this tyrannical Qin!”.
