It was a scorching summer day!
After a month and a half of trekking through mountains and rivers, they had to march with great difficulty.
The three thousand men led by Ying Mu had finally arrived at their destination, Yan County.
Yan County was located in the southernmost part of the Qin Country and was originally under the Chu Country.
Later, Chu was destroyed.
Yan County became Great Qin's territory.
It was a small county in the southernmost part of Changsha County.
It has a population of more than 20,000.
There was one county, four towns, and forty-three villages.
Most of the people living in this place are Chu people.
It wasn't hard to understand why the popularity of the people in Yan County was not high.
This was because the Chu Country had just been destroyed not long ago.
They did not have a strong sense of belonging to Great Qin.
Not to mention Ying Mu, this Young Master of Great Qin.
It was already good enough that the residents didn't choose to defect.
Why did he need a bicycle?
"Looking at this location, it should be the junction of Hunan, Guangdong, and Guangxi in the future, right?”
Ying Mu looked at the nearby Yan County and compared it to the system map in his mind. He quickly came to a conclusion.
Alright then!
This location was indeed remote.
Let alone the current Great Qin era.
Even after more than 2,000 years, it was still considered a remote place, mostly an autonomous area for ethnic minorities.
It was no wonder that there were only 20,000 people in a county.
If it wasn't for the fact that this place was located at the border between Great Qin and South Yue, it would have been a strategic location for the militarists.
Ying Mu even suspected that there wouldn't be a county city within a 300-mile radius.
Alright then!
Although this was a sarcastic remark, it was also the truth.
After all, the area around Yan County was filled with wild forests. There was too little land for farming.
In the eyes of the ancient rulers, if the land could not be used for farming.
Then it would be worthless.
In addition to the hot environment and the harassment of the Bai Yue Tribe.
Then there was even less need to move the population here and set up a county.
Of course, it was also thanks to the invasion of the Hundred Yue Tribe that Great Qin and Chu had no choice but to set up a County City here and set up defenses.
Otherwise, Ying Mu might not have been able to obtain a county city as his initial fief.
"Ta Ta Ta!"
Just as Ying Mu was looking at the city wall of Yan County, a hundred riders suddenly galloped over from afar.
The leader was a burly middle-aged general wearing a black helmet and bright armor.
Behind him were his personal guards who were dressed neatly in bronze armor.
A group of 100 people, each of them riding well.
They sat upright on the backs of their horses, looking heroic and vigorous. Their figures didn't change even a little as the warhorses galloped. Their exquisite riding skills caused Ying Mu to exclaim in admiration.
There was also a little envy.
After all, our Great Qin Yue King has yet to learn how to ride a horse!
囧!
The group of knights flew over and soon arrived in front of Ying Mu's carriage.
Soon after, the leader pulled the reins with his left hand, stopping the horse from galloping forward. He then flipped over and landed safely on the ground. He cupped his hands towards Ying Mu and bowed."This lowly general Li Xin greets His Highness the Yue King!”
He had to admit.
The Cavalrymen led by Li Xin were all Great Qin's true elites.
A hundred horsemen rode as one man.
Before he finished speaking, the knights behind him had already dismounted and shouted at Ying Mu,"Greetings, Your Highness the King of Yue!"
At this moment, Ying Mu had already alighted from the carriage.
When he heard the person announce his name, he couldn't help but be moved. He quickly walked to the person and laughed loudly,"General Li, there is no need to be so polite. For this trip to South Vietnam, I am afraid we will have to rely on you and your soldiers.”
Ying Mu looked at the middle-aged general in front of him and was extremely excited.
This was Li Xin!
He was a famous figure in history, a true general of a country.
Although his battle achievements weren't outstanding and he was used to set off the old general Wang Jian.
But this didn't mean that Li Xin couldn't.
If that really didn't work, he wouldn't be able to become a General in Great Qin, which was always happy to hear about battles.
And the First Emperor could send Li Xin to assist Ying Mu in opening up South Yue.
This was enough to prove how much he valued Ying Mu.
After some pleasantries.
Ying Mu's army and Li Xin's group joined together.
They headed to Yan County together.
At this moment, at the entrance of Yan County, the county magistrate, county deputy, county captain, and the others were already waiting there.
King of Yue, Ying Mu's title.
It had long been announced to the world by the First Emperor.
Everyone in Yan County already knew who Yan County belonged to. It had become Ying Mu's fief.
Thus, they had been waiting for Ying Mu's army to arrive.
He wanted to leave a good impression on Ying Mu.
Since he had just arrived, Ying Mu didn't want to cause any trouble in Yan County.
Therefore, he was very polite to the people from Yan County.
He even comforted the three elders of Yan County to prevent them from letting their imagination run wild.
The so-called three elders of Yan County.
They were the three people with the highest reputation in Yan County, not just three old men.
Just like what was recorded in history.
When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, the first thing they did after taking down Chen County was to gather the three elders of Chen County and the many heroes of Chen County to discuss a grand plan.
From this incident, you can know who the so-called "three elders" are.
They were all local landowners!
Great Qin had unified the world.
However, if he really wanted to govern the place, he had to rely on the three elders and the heroes.
They didn't say anything.
The orders of the county magistrate could not be passed down from the county government, let alone have any effect.
They were the true rulers of the land.
Many people might not believe this.
After all, the Qin laws were harsh, so what if they were local tyrants?
As long as they dared to offend Qin Fa.
The First Emperor could teach them how to behave in minutes.
However, the reality was…Young man, you think too much.
The First Emperor was a human, not a god.
His gaze was mostly on the court, not the place.
In fact, Ying Mu had reason to suspect that the First Emperor did not know what the situation in the Great Qin Empire was like, especially the situation at the bottom of the Great Qin Empire.
All he knew was the information that had been filtered through layers of reports.
The officials of Great Qin would definitely not tell the First Emperor,""Your Majesty, we can't control the landlord tyrants at all. We're incompetent!”
That was why Ying Mu suspected that the First Emperor didn't know what was going on in his empire.
What he knew was what his subordinates wanted him to know.
What he saw was what the people below wanted him to see.
What he thought was also what he thought.
What was Great Qin like?
Only the heavens would know.
Anyway, Ying Mu had discovered this during the banquet held on the first day he came to Yan County.
The county magistrate of Yan County had the right to speak.
He was far inferior to the so-called three elders of Yan County.
As for the county magistrate and county captain?
Alright then.
There was no need to count on these two at all.
Because they were one of the local landowners of Yan County.
What else can you hope for?
"Should we plow it directly, or temporarily appease it and leave it alone?”
Ying Mu couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he saw the territories and benefits that had been divided up long ago.
This was really a difficult question to decide!
