Chapter 62 I want this South China Sea to belong to the Qin Dynasty too!

Just when the emperors were in disbelief, the golden screen inventory video suddenly started to scroll again, giving them the answer they wanted!

…

[At this moment, after the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, it was not that he had no battles to fight. 】

[Actually, his military wars have never stopped!]

[In the territorial map at that time, in addition to the territory of the First Emperor's dynasty, there were many small countries in the southeast and south that bordered the coastal countries, which were not under the First Emperor's banner. That is, Baiyue.]

[In addition, there are also the most important Huns in the north. 】

[Speaking of which, the combined territory of the Xiongnu and Baiyue Kingdoms is comparable to that of the entire Western Alliance.]

…

When the emperors saw this, they frowned and suddenly felt that things were not simple.

…

[Baiyue is a collective name, which includes Wu Yue, Yang Yue, Min Yue, Luo Yue and other small countries. 】

[Each one is almost the size of the territory of some countries in the Western Alliance.]

[These countries have complicated geographical locations and steep terrain, and almost all of them are in high mountains. 】

【And the area is very wide.】

【The Baiyue area has dense mountain forests, so it is also called the "miasma land".】

[Once the Baiyue people were defeated, because they were very aware of the surrounding geographical environment, they would go to the nearest mountain forest or cave to burrow into it, leaving the other armies completely helpless.]

[Since Baiyue Land is just to the south, it includes the entire coastline. 】

[Some people at that time had never gone south in their lives, nor had they truly seen the South China Sea.]

["I want my soldiers and people to hear with my own ears the waves of the South China Sea!"]

Suddenly, between heaven and earth, the back of the First Emperor, who was taking stock, raised his arms and shouted!

The emperor of the Western Alliance was so shocked by the roar that he could not help but tremble!

…

[At this point, the First Emperor started the war to unify Baiyue! 】

[Order Guo Wei Tu Sui, lead 500,000 soldiers, divide the troops into five groups, and attack Baiyue!]

[Although among these 500,000 soldiers, there are many Chu soldiers who have just surrendered, and they are not the main force of the Qin Dynasty.]

[And Baiyue at that time was still an uncivilized land. 】

[But overall, defeating Baiyue is still a very simple matter. 】

[At the beginning, the progress was very smooth. No obstacles were encountered. 】

[It successively occupied East Vietnam and Minyue.]

【However, the subsequent advancement encountered big troubles.】

[The Lingnan area is covered with mountains, forests and rivers, which is completely different from the battlefields in the Central Plains. 】

[And in the army, a large number of soldiers are suffering from unknown diseases. 】

[In addition, the Baiyue people cannot be defeated, and they can also rely on the terrain to escape, and they cannot even be caught. 】

[All kinds of tactics that are practiced in daily life are nowhere to be used here.]

【And the most serious thing happened.】

[Because the battle line was too long and the terrain was harsh, their subsequent supply routes were cut off!]

[In the end, under Baiyue's sneak attack, the First Emperor's side was defeated! 】

[Commander Tu Sui died in battle!]

…

Seeing this, the Western Alliance emperors who were a little nervous just now breathed a sigh of relief.

Alexander the Great: "Haha, the First Emperor is nothing more than that."

Persian Emperor Darius I: "Now the second reason has been found."

Ashoka made a lot of long-winded taunts, which translated into:

"I boasted so much before that I thought he really had some kind of military talent, but this is it?"

But the great emperors of the Central Plains were smiling and saying nothing, and now they were looking at the Western emperors like clowns.

Waiting for the moment they make a fool of themselves.

Many other great emperors were really frightened, and really thought that the First Emperor was about to rise.

However, when they saw the following inventory, they were instantly shocked, held their breath, and even forgot to breathe!

…

【"Bastard!"】

["The six vassal states have been pacified, but still can't they destroy just a barbarian land?"]

【The First Emperor was furious!】

【But anger does not mean recklessness.】

[After careful consideration and careful analysis of the geographical location and characteristics of the Baiyue countries, he concluded that there were only two reasons for his defeat. 】

[First, there are many mountains, forests and waterways in Baiyue, so large armies of soldiers are not suitable for fighting here.]

[The second is the lack of logistical supplies, and food routes are often cut off.]

[Soldiers with strong combat power are helpless in the face of such terrain and environment, let alone soldiers with weak combat power without supplies. 】

[So, under such difficulties, the First Emperor came up with a countermeasure after careful consideration. 】

[That’s the ninth reason for being on the list!]

【Dig the Grand Canal!】

[Unite the Yangtze River water system and the Pearl River water system!]

[In this way, the entire dynasty will have the conditions to transport materials and supplies through waterways! 】

[This way you can bypass a lot of dangerous mountainous areas and no longer have to worry about being robbed!]

…

"Another...another thousand-year feat!" Many emperors breathed heavier.

Because all emperors understand the impact of digging a canal.

Is it the current day?

No!

It is the eternity of its future generations!

(As long as this territory is still in our own hands and has not been taken away by other countries.)

"That's amazing!" Yang Guang said, "I've found an expert! I've found a role model!"

Li Shimin: "You still say that the First Emperor has no military talent?!"

Wang Mang: "Awesome! So awesome! Slap those foreign dogs in the face!"

However, all emperors understood that these measures were a thankless task for any dynasty.

"Is it really necessary to carry out large-scale construction projects?"

Because the common people did not have the emperor's long-term vision, they had no idea what it meant to dig these things.

Even if you know, with such productivity, it is still a waste of people and money.

However, in the eyes of the First Emperor, this was something that had to be done for the sake of unification!

…

[The opening of the canal indeed laid the foundation for future war victories!]

[And it not only affected the direction of the war, but also played a very important economic role after the war. 】

[However, this is a huge project and a very big challenge for a dynasty that spans more than two thousand years!]

[But before that, the First Emperor had already had the success of two major water canals and had some in-depth experience in water conservancy projects, so this time, he did not flinch!]

[The First Emperor was actually a man of action, and he did what he said!]

【This canal is officially excavated!】

[It has become the Lingqu that has benefited China for thousands of years!]

[After three years, Lingqu canal is finally completed!]
