Chapter 512: Is It Possible?
None of the guys in history who believed that they could live forever by taking pills or anything, none of them were long-lived.
What is the so-called elixir, modern people should not know it, right? To put it bluntly, the elixir is a group of warlocks who make things that contain lead, mercury, arsenic, saltpeter and other things, and no matter how healthy a person is, he has been eating this so-called elixir that can make people chronically poisoned, purely because he is disgusted with his long life.
The problem is that people don't know now, until the Ming Dynasty and even the "I Qing Dynasty" period, there were still people who ate alchemy when they knew that lead, saltpeter and other things would poison people.
Why is alchemy a kind of round particles or oval particles, isn't it just a set of chemical refinery, without those elements that poison people, how can you practice a "elixir" that looks golden or colorful.
The First Emperor was not the first person in Chinese history to pursue immortality, but he was definitely the first to pursue immortality after becoming emperor. It seems that after the self-destruction of Zhao and Qin had laid the foundation for dominating the world, the First Emperor began to pursue immortality, and how many so-called "elixirs" were eaten successively? Seven or eight years of long-term consumption of things that can cause chronic poisoning should also be the time for the body to collapse, and add to the chaos in the world, which will definitely make matters worse.
The life and death of the first emperor is related to the national fortunes of the Great Qin Empire, even if the Qin State has experienced the turmoil of "separation" and "county system", no matter how it is, there is still the possibility of dominating the world again, but if Ying Zheng is gone, the future of the Qin State will be really worried.
“…… There has been no queen for decades, and the position of the crown prince has been vacant, and if His Majesty is not in the Qin State, it will inevitably be turbulent. Kuaitong's face was full of confusion, and it was estimated that he couldn't figure out why such a virtuous emperor would not establish a queen and not set up a crown prince, so that the throne of a country would be vacant, and even the courtiers who would not be loyal to the next emperor did not know who they should be loyal to.
Lu Zhe probably knew why the First Emperor didn't establish the Empress and the crown prince, but what he knew was not necessarily correct.
The reason why the first emperor did not fall in love with a certain woman was because Yingzheng had experienced a lot of turmoil since he succeeded to the throne. Among them, the most damage was the rebellion of the Chu family and Cheng Jiao. There are too many princesses from too many countries in Yingzheng's harem, probably because they are worried about what adverse consequences will be caused by setting up a princess of a certain country as the queen. As for not appointing the crown prince, it is more mysterious, it seems that the eldest son Fusu is "not like himself", Fusu's character is too weak and he is afraid that he will bury the foundation of Daqin, and none of the other sons is worthy of Yingzheng.
"The lord's statement is possible, but ......" Kuaitong can't refute it directly, of course, he can only euphemistically: "Chengjiao's rebellion was nineteen years ago. Fusu has a benevolent personality, and when Great Qin dominates the world, it is precisely when a benevolent monarch is needed to govern the country, how can he conclude that he is not a qualified candidate for the prince because of this? ”
Lu Zhe is also confused, not a party. Who can really understand what the First Emperor was thinking.
Guess it, if the Chu rebellion had an impact, it would have been diluted after nearly twenty years, and the benevolent Fusu was not similar to Yingzheng who was also his own son and the eldest son, and he would not think that it was not suitable to inherit the unification just because he was kind or weak.
Guessing things will only be farther away from the answer the more you guess, why didn't the First Emperor establish the queen and canonize the prince has little to do with the current situation, what they should think about is what strategy the Qin State will adopt next.
"I think it's a deceptive ploy to send people to watch the alliance this time." Kuaitong did not use any hesitation: "It is to paralyze the nations, to try to make the nations relax their vigilance, and to make the last and most violent attempt before the steppe Hu people go south." If the countries can be defeated in one fell swoop, the Qin State will have more territory and population to enhance its national strength, and it will not be so difficult to resist the southern invasion of the grassland Hu people. ”
Qin's current territory only retains Lower Longxi County, Shang County, Neishi County, Beidi County, Hanzhong County, Shu County, and Ba County, and the population under its rule is about 6 million. With such a territory and population, it will be really difficult to fight against the steppe Hu people, who are quite mobile. In particular, the Qin State not only had to deal with the grassland Hu people, but also had to face the counterattack of other countries, with those territories and populations. It's really not easy to do so many things.
"The Xiongnu's head man can gather at least 300,000 cavalry to go south, and if it doesn't work once, he will invite the Donghu people. Again gathered more than 300,000 Hu cavalry to invade the south for the second time. Kuaitong would like to thank Lu Zhe for attaching importance to the intelligence of the grassland, he tends to calculate the pattern on the grassland and the number of herdsmen: "The reason why the Hu people will go south this time is because some Central Plains people are demagoguing, so it is obvious that the Hu people have formed a temporary alliance with some Central Plains countries, and it is obvious that they will deal with the Qin State in total, and the Qin State will naturally weaken the strength of the Central Plains countries to the greatest extent, otherwise when the war breaks out in the northern Xinjiang, the Central Plains countries will counterattack, and the Qin State will be very difficult even if it wants to retreat to Hangu Pass to keep the old Qin land." ”
It is not the kind of era when the turtle retracts back to Hangu Pass and it is foolproof, after all, it is not the era of Qin Xiaogong or King Qin Huiwen, and with the change of the times, the road that can enter the old Qin Land is no longer only Hangu Pass. Furthermore, the turtle retracted back to Hangu Pass before to ensure safety, not only because there was such a majestic pass as Hangu Pass, but also because the Qin State had enough troops, national strength, manpower and unity.
The current Qin State basically can't talk about anything like one heart and one mind, after all, the impact of engaging in that law that belongs to the emperor is too great, if it weren't for that, the belligerence of the tiger wolf Qin army would definitely still be there, and the situation in Qin would not become so difficult.
"So, if the Qin State fails to weaken the Central Plains countries in one fell swoop, and when the grassland Hu people go south, it will really be dangerous for the Qin State to be attacked on both sides?" Lu Zhe thought for a moment and asked in an uncertain tone, "It's also based on the fact that we will also send troops to attack Qindi, right?" ”
"It is precisely because of this that it is really not the right time for the post to say that His Majesty is seriously ill now." Kuaitong was at the head of his chin, and he was a little worried: "After all, the time for our rise is too short and too short, and the internal affairs are out of the combing period, although the army can fight, the establishment is not complete." ”
Yes, Lu Zhe may be able to win a hundred battles in the south, and that is based on the fact that the opponent is too weak and the supply line is not long.
Let's put it this way, if you fight Baiyue for any Central Plains country, even if it was the weakest South Korea during the Warring States Period, as long as Baiyue dares to fight, the Korean army can beat the Baiyue people of the Stone Age all over the ground to find teeth. Lu Zhe can defeat Baiyue again and again, and so far annihilated so many living forces of Baiyue, also because of the short rise time, so that Baiyue people are limited in how strong a new force is, if it is not because of this, Baiyue will not be stupid to fight any battles, it should be wandering in the deep mountains and old forests to play yin.
Win the Chu State? Lu Zhe really fought with the state of Chu at that time, and it was based on good preparation. Even if it is fully prepared, the frontal battle of Lujiang County, more than 80,000 Lu Zhe's army has a geographical advantage against the Chu army of Shangxiang Liang is also at a disadvantage, if it is not for Lu Zhe's success in blitzing Huizhang County, and he took the risk of seducing the follow-up army of Chu to conduct a battle with a supply advantage in Danyang, the outcome is really very difficult to say.
Sima Xin led 150,000 Qin troops to the south, not to mention the battle, Lu Zhe was facing a Qin army that had lost its combat objectives, and it was not a great thing for the Qin army to win if there was such an epidemic again.
Expanding the territory for thousands of miles in just two years, and not losing in the Great War, such a "history" is indeed quite brilliant, but there is really a little more water, outsiders don't know Lu Zhe and them, aren't they still clear? Therefore, to say that the heavenly soldiers are invincible in the world as soon as they arrive, who will compete with Lu Zhe when he comes out, and so on is to deceive others and deceive himself.
The most important thing for Lu Zhe and his team now is to digest the fruits of victory, handle internal affairs well, and at the same time use actual combat to train a group of experienced officers during the southern expedition to Lingnan, and also use actual combat to train the army.
To put it bluntly, Lu Zhe has been staring at Baiyue and beating him fiercely, except that Baiyue is really a troublesome race, he wants to feed the army with the blood of Baiyue people, and wait for Lingnan to fight down, and under the repeated rotation of the troops, there should be 300,000 or 400,000 soldiers who have seen blood.
There are 300,000 or 400,000 soldiers who have slaughtered people, and it will take a few more years to perfect the ordnance, and then the internal affairs should also see some results, which can be regarded as really stable, and it is time to argue with those old countries, even if they really want to attack Qindi, they will be a little sure.
Before this, why did Lu Zhe never deny that he could gather 1.8 million soldiers, and even such a ridiculous rumor was fueling the flames, purely to make others unclear about the situation and scare people.
In fact, a force has risen rapidly, and there has been no defeat in previous wars, it will definitely slowly produce a deterrent effect, even if some people think that it will not be as strong as rumored, but there will still be concerns, and no one will want to be the first person to try his ability.
Lu Zhe's forces have been fighting and have never lost, the weakest Baiyue has been so dry that he can't take care of himself, the Qin army, which is the most capable of fighting, has also sunk into the sand, and the unconvinced Chu State has also been overturned, who else is stupid to try!
Only he knows his own situation, and now if the Qin State is really going to be finished under the attack from both sides, it will definitely be the worst thing for Lu Zhe, who has not yet precipitated his strength.
"I do not believe that the nations are perfectly good to us. This time the intelligence feedback made me think of a possibility," Lu Zhe's face became more and more gloomy: "Is their constant overture a paralyzing strategy for us, is it teasing us?" Even this time the alliance has been arranged for a long time, what traps are waiting for us? ”
"......" Kuaitong was completely dumbfounded, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't completely rule out this possibility, after all, the government has always been deceived by Ermi. Moreover, the Hu people, the foreign aid that the countries have sought, and the biggest Austrian aid, are about to go south! (To be continued......)
