Ying Zheng said,"
"Wang Ben, I think Zhang Han is suitable."
"He's suitable!"
"Looking at you, you should have gone to understand the situation of the Bai Yue during this period of time. Then tell me, how much do you know about the Bai Yue?”
Wang Ben pondered for a moment.
He said,"
"I learned from the soldiers who conquered the Bai Yue last time.”
"The population of the Bai Yue is actually less than a million, and the number of armored soldiers is less than two hundred thousand. After the last bloody battle, the number of elites will only be less.”
"However, the Bai Yue Tribe is extremely territorial.”
"They naturally do not trust Great Qin.”
"So even though the Bai Yue's forces have already lost less than 10% of their strength, they are still stubbornly resisting.”
"If we only look at the number of troops."
"Great Qin has sent 300,000 soldiers, which is enough to flatten the Yue.”
"But…"
"The reason why the Bai Yue Land is so difficult to conquer is because the Bai Yue tribe has a strong sense of rebellion.”
"What's even more troublesome is that the weather there is too bad.”
"The climate over at the Yue Country is very hot and the weather is constantly changing. It might still be sunny ahead, but in the next moment, it will start to rain heavily. The weather is incredibly hot and humid, and Great Qin's soldiers are mostly from the north, making it difficult for them to adapt to such a harsh situation.”
"Also."
"The forest over at the Bai Yue is filled with a large amount of miasma, poisonous gas, all kinds of strange insects, and strange diseases. If you are not careful, you might infect a large area, which will directly cause panic in the army.”
"This was also part of the reason for our defeat last time.”
"If Great Qin wants to conquer the Bai Yue and fight a prolonged war with them, it is obviously not suitable. As such, we have to catch them off guard and attack before the Bai Yue can react, heavily injuring the enemy army.”
"Precisely because of this."
"This subject boldly suggests appointing Li Xin as the main general.”
"Everything I said is true."
"Absolutely no selfishness."
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ben.
He knew that Wang Ben was telling the truth.
It was also his heartfelt words.
However…
He had misjudged the situation.
Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand.
He said in a deep voice,
"I know that everything you said is true and I have spent time to study the situation in the Yue, but I have my reasons for choosing Zhang Han.”
"Your goal is to occupy the Bai Yue."
"But zhen asks you."
"After occupying the Bai Yue, how should we govern?”
" After two fierce battles, the two sides have already formed an irreconcilable hatred. Is it possible to govern peacefully?”
"If we can't govern peacefully, does that mean that I will have to guard hundreds of thousands of troops here in the future? These hundreds of thousands of troops consume a huge amount of grain every day.”
"Besides, a centipede will not die.”
"I can indeed massacre the young men of the Yue, but there will always be fish that escape the net.”
"At that time, these people will have hatred in their hearts and secretly attack and assassinate, deliberately destroying the stability of the southern border.”
"Once the situation in the Bai Yue Land gets worse.”
"Then, will I continue to invest a huge amount of resources?”
"Do you think the ministers and commoners will agree to this?”
Wang Ben's expression changed.
Ying Zheng continued,"
"But he allowed the Yue to wander outside the court and let Zhen sit idly by.”
"I can't do it!"
"Not a single inch of Great Qin's land is superfluous!”
"So…"
"The Bai Yue must be recovered."
"Thus, Zhen planned this southern expedition.”
"Not only do We want to conquer the Yue, We also want the Yue to completely integrate into Great Qin.”
"I want to transform the Bai Yue into the six counties of Great Qin!”
Wang Ben immediately shouted,
"Your Majesty is wise."
"But isn't the price too high?”
"If you want to conquer the Yue State permanently, you can't do it in a day. Moreover, the Yue State's environment is quite harsh, and every step forward will require the sacrifice of a large number of Great Qin's soldiers.”
"This price is too heavy."
"I don't think it's worth it."
Ying Zheng stood up and straightened his body.
He said proudly,"
"That's why I chose Zhang Han."
"The most difficult thing to conquer in the Yue is not humans.“
"It's the environment!"
"So I changed the environment."
"The biggest problem of the Baiyue is actually miasma, poisonous gas, and stagnant water.”
"Great Qin's soldiers are afraid of these things."
"Even the people from the Bai Yue are afraid!"
"And these things can be solved by manpower.”
" Man can conquer nature!!!"
"Zhen asked around. The problem with the Bai Yue is ultimately a problem of water.”
"With so much water, it's easy to gather into puddles and puddles everywhere. However, the water doesn't circulate, and over time, it becomes stagnant water.”
"Animals will also die from drinking stagnant water.”
"A large number of corpses were rotting nearby. In that hot and humid environment, it formed a miasma. In the end, the miasma continued to spread, and the area directly became an evil land!”
"Take care of the Bai Yue."
" The first thing to do is to solve the environmental problem."
"As long as we open up the forest and connect the water with the water, we can let the evil water flow. As long as we can revive the water in Baiyue, in a few years, Baiyue will become a fertile land.”
"The Hundred Yue will become Great Qin's new granary!”
"This is a war with a huge amount of work and a long time.”
"It is different from any previous war!”
"This is also the reason I chose Zhang Han.”
" He's comprehensive and steady!!!"
