Chapter 958 The End of the Myth

Time flies by like a white horse.

Three years passed in a blink of an eye. Although the Qin Dynasty was calm on the surface, it was actually turbulent.

On the one hand, the nobles left by the six kingdoms wanted to restore their former glory. On the other hand, in the absence of external conflicts, Qin Dynasty still adopted harsh laws to treat officials and people, and the dissatisfaction of the old Qin people with Ying Zheng gradually emerged.

At this moment, Ying Zheng sat on the high dragon throne, immersed in the great achievements of sweeping the six kingdoms, and did not take this change into consideration.

At the same time, after struggling for half a lifetime, Ying Zheng inevitably began to indulge in extravagance and debauchery. Princess Yushu was immediately canonized as Li Fei after entering the palace.

Of course, this also made Yi Xiaochuan suffer for more than half a year. In the end, in order to be able to see Princess Yushu often, he even asked Meng Tian to arrange a position for him as a guard of the imperial army.

Unfortunately, Princess Yushu felt that he was just a friend who could speak in a foreign country.

During these three years, Qin Hao, with the help of Xiang Liang, his uncle and nephew, and Fan Kuai, secretly bought a large number of bandits, with a total number of 20,000. These were strong combat forces that could be incorporated into the army. The guards recruited before became instructors, responsible for training these bandits.

The ability to gather so many people in a short period of time also benefited from the huge profits of glass products. Part of this money was used to buy materials to buy bandits, and part was used to buy officials of the dynasty. Many high-ranking officials of the Qin Dynasty, led by Li Si, had received generous gifts from Qin Hao.

Naturally, some policy trends of the court were also revealed to Qin Hao from their mouths, allowing him to understand the real situation inside the Qin Dynasty at the first time.

According to the ideas of Xiang Liang, his uncle and nephew, they could now raise the banner of rebellion to overthrow the rule of the Qin Dynasty, but Qin Hao knew very well that if Ying Zheng was not dead, the rebellion would never succeed.

The prestige of this emperor in the minds of the old Qin people was too high. With him, the old Qin people would unite, and at this time the internal contradictions of the Qin Dynasty had not yet erupted. Once an external enemy appeared, the Qin Dynasty would quickly reach a consensus and point its guns at the outside world.

However, on this day, Qin Hao received a message that reminded him that Ying Zheng began to be obsessed with seeking immortals.

Qin Hao immediately sent people to find those "swindlers", no, the masters of the world.

Then he asked people to send them to Ying Zheng. The "immortal pills" refined by these quacks were good things. The heavy metal content was seriously exceeded. After eating for a period of time, people could break free from the shackles of the flesh and ascend to the sky.

These "swindlers", no, the masters of the world quickly gained the trust of Ying Zheng. Not only did they give them large rewards, but they also gave them official positions, making the court a mess.

In addition, there was a dispute between Fusu and Hu Hai for the crown prince. Since Ying Zheng never had a queen in his life, there was no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. All the princes were eligible to inherit the throne.

Fusu was the oldest and had a good reputation, so he won the support of many court officials. Hu Hai had the support of Prime Minister Li Si, who also attracted many officials.

However, it was not important who the officials supported. The key was Ying Zheng's attitude.

Compared with his eldest son who often nagged and admonished him, Ying Zheng felt that Hu Hai was closer to him, so when he went out on tour, he often took him with him instead of Fusu. This was undoubtedly a signal that made more officials start to look favorably on Hu Hai.

Qin Hao spent a lot of time on Hu Hai, of course, teaching him how to play. He let people guide him to play what the Eight Banners disciples of the Qing Dynasty played.

In the 32nd year of Qin Wangzheng, Ying Zheng, whose health was getting worse, finally found something wrong. Why did he not ascend to heaven in broad daylight after eating so many "immortal pills"? Instead, he became weaker and weaker?

So he began to let these alchemists report each other. As a result, this group of people exposed each other and implicated more than 460 people, which made Ying Zheng realize that there were a bunch of liars around him.

Later, at the suggestion of Li Si, Ying Zheng started a famous event in history: burning books and burying scholars.

At the same time, Fusu completely lost the opportunity to ascend the throne. Ying Zheng was very dissatisfied with Fusu's plea for the Confucian scholar. He not only severely reprimanded him, but also sent him to the army for training, which was actually exile.

After so many years of taking "immortal pills", Ying Zheng was already highly poisoned by heavy metals. He seemed to be fine on the outside, but in fact he was already terminally ill.

Qin Hao grasped Ying Zheng's physical condition in real time through the bribed eunuchs, and also stepped up the pace of network talent.

In the 37th year of Qin Wangzheng, Ying Zheng died in Shaqiu Palace on the way to the fifth eastern tour. Li Si and Hu Hai conspired to forge an edict issued by Ying Zheng, and Hu Hai inherited the throne. In the name of Ying Zheng, they accused Fusu of being unfilial and Meng Tian of being unfaithful, and forced them to commit suicide.

When Qin Hao received the news that Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, he knew that the era of the Qin Dynasty had entered the countdown.

After the news of Ying Zheng's death spread, the nobles of the six countries celebrated, and at the same time, their hearts, which were already restless, became even more restless. Some people had already begun to prepare for rebellion, but most people were waiting for the most appropriate time to appear. After all, rebellion was a serious crime of exterminating the entire clan.

Just one year later, this opportunity came. In the first year of the reign of Qin II, that is, in 209 BC, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang started an uprising in Daze Township and shouted that inspiring slogan.

"Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different races?"

The uprising went very smoothly at the beginning. People in various counties who could not bear the tyranny of Qin officials arrested and sentenced their officials and killed them to respond to Chen Sheng.

Less than three months after the uprising, people in Zhao, Qi, Yan, Wei and other places claimed to be kings under the banner of restoring the six kingdoms.

Xiang Liang and his nephew could not wait any longer. Without waiting for Qin Hao's command, they started an uprising in Chu.

However, Xiang Liang and his nephew soon found that they thought too much of themselves. Only a few of the bandit leaders who had been respectful to them before responded to his call and led the team to follow, while the rest remained motionless.

The reason was also very simple. They had been eating Qin Hao's food and wages for these years, and Qin Hao also arranged guards to enter the bandit stronghold in the name of instructors to help him train and transform these bandits. Under the subtle teachings of the instructors, the bandits knew very well who brought them the good life they had now. Compared with the days when they were so poor that they could only eat grass roots and tree bark, they were naturally grateful to Qin Hao.

For them, Xiang Liang and his nephew were at most a heroic friend. Fighting for the sake of brotherhood was fine, but who had ever seen someone risk the death of his entire clan to rebel for the sake of loyalty?

Three months later, General Zhang Han defeated the rebels. Subsequently, the regular army of the Qin Dynasty began to suppress the local rebellion one after another, and Cheng Sheng and Wu Guang were also killed one after another.

For a time, the morale of the rebels in various places was greatly reduced.

However, at this time, Qin Hao took Lu Su, his son, and Gao Yao away from Xianyang. After returning to Shanfu County, he immediately raised the banner of rebellion and raised troops to rebel against Qin.

When Lu Gong learned about Qin Hao's rebellion, he almost fainted, but he had no choice but to board Qin Hao's pirate ship.

However, the good news is that Qin Hao's rebellion was not unprepared. On the contrary, after he raised the banner of rebellion and seized Shanfu County, nearly 30,000 people came to surrender. These were all bandits who had been funded by him. Some rangers and nobles also came to surrender when they saw that he was so powerful.

At this moment, after the Qin Dynasty had eliminated the rebellion of Cheng Sheng and Wu Guang, it was already exhausted. Soldiers from all over the country were transferred to the vicinity of Xianyang. Shanfu County, where Qin Hao was located, was located in Shandong Province and was basically undefended.

In just three months, Qin Hao took over Linzi County and Langya County. After that, before the winter came, he successively took over Qi County, Dong County, Xue County, Jiaodong County, and Jibei County. The entire Shandong Province basically became Qin Hao's territory.

Interestingly, after Liu Bang learned that Fan Kuai and the other two had become generals, he asked them to recommend him to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao naturally did not disappoint Liu Bang's kindness. After giving him a lieutenant position, he arranged for him to go on an expedition with the army. Under Qin Hao's arrangement, Liu Bang was hacked to death by several of his own soldiers in the chaos of the army, and a generation of Han Gaozu fell.

Fan Kuai and the other two were a little sad about Liu Bang's death, but they didn't doubt anything. There are always casualties in war. Besides, Qin Hao and Liu Bang had no grudges. If they hadn't recommended him, Qin Hao might not even know that Liu Bang existed. He just thought that Liu Bang was unlucky and had poor martial arts and died in the chaos.

Because Qin Hao abolished the harsh laws of the Qin Dynasty in various counties in Shandong and re-established a complete administrative system, during the six months when Qin Hao conquered various counties in Shandong, the people under his rule gradually had food to eat and lived in adobe thatched houses.

The people don't care who the emperor is. They support whoever allows them to eat and live in a house.

After hearing about it, some people in the surrounding counties also came to surrender. Qin Hao also accepted everyone who came. As long as they came, he would divide the houses and fields.

This was also due to the previous heavy taxes and levies of the Qin Dynasty. The people couldn't survive and the land was abandoned. Otherwise, Qin Hao really didn't have so much land to divide.

Xiang Liang and his nephew are indeed capable. Even without Qin Hao's funding, they still raised a team of tens of thousands of people. Because Xiang Yu fought bravely and was always on the front line of the anti-Qin war, he soon attracted Hu Hai's attention.

So Hu Hai sent a large number of reinforcements to support Zhang Han. After receiving the reinforcements, Zhang Han raided Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang was defeated and killed, and Xiang Yu was also chased and beaten.

Until Julu, Xiang Yu fought a desperate battle and finally defeated the Qin army. Zhang Han was defeated.

At the same time, Xiang Yu contacted other princes to join forces and intended to take Xianyang directly, but was blocked by the Qin army led by Zhang Han. The two sides were deadlocked and fought many times with both sides winning and losing.

So Xiang Yu thought of Qin Hao and invited Qin Hao to march to Xianyang together several times, but Qin Hao refused. He was busy marching into the Central Plains.

The Central Plains has been a grain-producing area since ancient times. It's not that the other princes didn't see it, but they were all blinded by hatred, or they were afraid of the Qin people and didn't dare to give them any breathing space. They were afraid that it would be like 298 BC. They could have conquered Hangu Pass and destroyed the Qin State, but they were soft-hearted and let the Qin State destroy the six countries. This lesson was too painful.

So these nobles left by the six countries didn't care about any territory at all, and they just wanted to destroy Qin.

However, Qin Hao knew very well that according to the current situation of the Qin Dynasty, the longer it dragged on, the more chaotic it would be. Unless there was a strong man like Ying Zheng, there would be no chance of revival. Obviously, Hu Hai was not such a strong man, and Fusu's son Ziying was not either.

Just when Qin Hao was happily expanding his territory, something unexpected happened to him. Xiang Yu and the coalition forces of the other five countries were defeated.

The one who led the army to defeat them was Yi Xiaochuan, but at this time Yi Xiaochuan used another identity, the younger brother of the famous general Meng Tian. Hu Hai ordered him to lead the remaining Qin army in Xianyang to support Zhang Han, and finally the two of them defeated Xiang Yu together.

The information Qin Hao got from the Qin Dynasty was that Princess Yu Shu was originally going to be buried alive after Ying Zheng's death. After learning about it, Yi Xiaochuan immediately changed his vest and transformed himself into Meng Yi. He made a deal with Hu Hai with the remaining assets of the Meng family army. Hu Hai promised him that as long as he defeated Xiang Yu's six-nation coalition, Princess Yu Shu would not be buried alive.

After the defeat of the six-nation coalition, Hu Hai breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Yi Xiaochuan and Zhang Han to pursue, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle again.

Qin Hao took advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides to complete the control of various counties in Henan.

After that, after three years of accumulation, Qin Hao finally decided to send troops to Xianyang. At this time, both the Qin army and the six-nation coalition were already exhausted.

Fan Kuai and Xiahou Ying won battle after battle, defeating the Qin army led by Yi Xiaochuan one after another. Yi Xiaochuan himself was also chopped off his horse by Fan Kuai and trampled into meat paste by countless war horses.

Xiang Yu originally thought that Fan Kuai and Xiahou Ying were here to help them, and wanted to help chase the Qin army, but they were killed by the two together.

After that, Fan Kuai, Xiahou Ying, and Zhou Bo attacked everywhere, fighting and destroying the participating Qin army and the coalition forces of the six countries.

Then the three led an army of 200,000 and came to the outside of Xianyang City. Hu Hai surrendered out of the city, and the Qin Dynasty perished.

After Qin Hao settled in Xianyang, he officially proclaimed himself emperor, and Lu Su naturally became the queen. Lu Gong never thought that he would become the father-in-law of the country one day. Before that, he once felt that he could live one more day happily, all earned.

Gao Yao was named the founding marquis by Qin Hao, and he rested with the country. After there was no hope of returning, Gao Yao also accepted his fate and began to enjoy the luxurious life of ancient nobles.

After that, Qin Hao spent three years to completely wipe out the rebellious nobles of the six kingdoms and completed the unification after the Qin Dynasty.

[Ding, the host has completed the main plot line of the myth world. Please ask if you want to load the next world. ]

"What is the next world?"

"The world of Zeng Shao Nian, host, do you want to load it?"

"Load."

When Qin Hao opened his eyes again, he saw a lot of high-rise buildings. At the same time, a chattering voice said in his ear.

"Don't spend money indiscriminately at school. It's not easy for your family to make money to support you to go to college."

A memory came into his mind. Qin Hao's identity at this moment is a college student who is about to enter the campus of Tsinghua University and Peking University, and his mother is beside him.

"Okay, I got it. You guys go back. The train is leaving soon."

I want to apologize to my friends here. The selection of the two dungeons recently was a bit hasty. Many problems were not considered. It was very difficult to write and the subscription was also very poor. After thinking it over, I decided to write the urban drama that I am best at. The new dungeon Zeng Shao Nian takes the urban entrepreneurial route. This dungeon will be more attentive. I hope my friends can put aside the past and support it.
