That's right, it would be strange if the First Emperor wasn't angry. After all, that was his Xianyang City, and the people living in Xianyang City were all his subjects.
However, there was someone who dared to slaughter Xianyang City?
This was simply courting death!
After finding the real murderer, Qin Shihuang would definitely not let him go.
Hearing this, Wang Jian hurriedly said," Your Majesty, leave this matter to this old minister. Back then, it was this old minister who led 600,000 troops and defeated his grandfather, Xiang Yan."”
Back then, Xiang Yan's resistance was extremely fierce. Under his leadership, many of the Chu people rose up to resist the Qin Dynasty, causing Li Xin to lead 200,000 troops to attack the Chu Dynasty, but they were defeated.
If not for Old General Wang Jian stepping forward, Xiang Yan would still be resisting desperately.
Now, to deal with Xiang Yan's descendants, it was indeed more appropriate for Wang Jian to come out and intimidate them.
" Alright!" Ying Zheng gnashed his teeth and said," Then I'll leave this matter to you. You must kill him!" Including all of the Xiang Clan, he would kill them all, leaving no one alive!”
When Ying Zheng did things, he would always eliminate the root of the problem, leaving no future troubles.
Therefore, he became a tyrant in the eyes of the people, killing people and exterminating clans at will.
However, in the eyes of Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and the others, Ying Zheng's actions of exterminating his clan were all to protect the imperial power and the Great Qin Empire from chaos!
"Yes, sir!" Wang Jian said solemnly.
After giving out his orders, Ying Zheng was still unwilling to give up. Instead, he looked at Lin Tian.
"Sir, why did Xiang Yu slaughter my Xianyang City?" he asked humbly.”
Actually, he had a rough idea of the answer.
However, he still wanted to hear it from Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's expression was filled with reminiscence."According to the historical records, Xiang Yu was one of the nobles of the six dynasties. The hatred of the nobles of the six dynasties towards the Qin Empire is clear at a glance.”
"Survivors of the Six Nations!" After listening to the story, Ying Zheng gritted his teeth.
His expression was extremely gloomy.
The remnants of the Six Nations had always been a thorn in his heart. He had been suppressing them, but it was a pity that there was no effect. The remnants of the Six Nations were still secretly causing trouble.
"Even if our Great Qin destroyed their country, it was to unify the world. It's fine if they killed the officials, but why did they kill the 100,000 citizens of Xianyang City?”Ying Zheng said coldly.
Slaughtering 100,000 civilians was a crime that was even more heinous than the 200,000 Zhao soldiers that Baiqi had killed!
One hundred thousand people were unarmed. How could Xiang Yu be so vicious?
Detestable, simply detestable!
Ying Zheng wished he could kill him and offer his head to the heavens.
Seeing Ying Zheng's ugly expression, Lin Yi sighed with emotion,""That's right. At the end of the Great Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang made an agreement that whoever entered the pass first would rule the country. After Liu Bang entered Xianyang City, he quickly left, while Xiang Yu slaughtered wantonly, leaving no one alive.”
"According to the historical records, when Xiang Yu entered Xianyang City, a fire raged for three days and three nights, leaving no survivors. Men died and women became prostitutes.”
In Lin Yi's opinion, the massacre of Xianyang City was Xiang Yu's biggest failure.
As for Ying Zheng, Feng Quji, Meng Tian, Wang Jian, and the others, after hearing those words, their bodies trembled, and their eyes seemed to be filled with fury!
" The fire raged in Xianyang City for three days and three nights, leaving no survivors, men dead and women prostitutes..." Ying Zheng gritted his teeth so hard that he almost broke them as he repeated the words.
He seemed to see the scene of corpses strewn all over Xianyang City. Corpses piled up into mountains, and blood flowed everywhere.
He seemed to have seen the scene of his family being torn apart in Xianyang City…
"The people of the world call Qin the Qin of tigers and wolves, and call me a tyrant. However, my tyranny is not even a tenth of Xiang Yu's!”Ying Zheng took a deep breath.
"Damn it, when we get back, I will definitely behead Xiangyu!”Meng Tian said angrily.
" The Six Nations are still trying to restore their country," Feng Quji said with an ashen face." We must suppress them to the end so that they can't rise again!"”
"The Six Nations 'meritorious officials cannot be spared!" Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
The remnants of the Six Nations were the source of chaos, and with them around, Great Qin would not be at peace.
He had to eliminate the root of the problem!
And this idea was also Ying Zheng's idea. Ying Zheng had always wanted to exterminate the remnants of the six dynasties, but because of the disagreement between the monarch and his subjects, it had been delayed until now.
Now, they had all agreed to it, so Ying Zheng naturally intended to go all out!
Kill!
When I return, I will definitely kill the remaining evil spirits of the six countries!
He had to kill all the remaining members of the six dynasties, from top to bottom, not leaving a single seedling behind. He had to destroy their nine clans and see how they could continue to cause trouble.
At that time, Great Qin would no longer have internal strife.
Only by eliminating the internal strife could they continue to expand their territory.
"I am very pleased that you have such thoughts. The remnants of the six countries should have been eliminated long ago. Before attacking the Xiongnu, we must first find all the remnants of the six countries and then eliminate them.”Ying Zheng said.
"Yes!" Meng Tian replied.
"Yes!" Wang Jian said.
After killing the remaining Six Nations, Great Qin could now attack the Xiongnu in peace!
Ying Zheng felt comfortable just thinking about a Great Qin that had no future troubles. He felt like he had vented his anger.
After hearing Ying Zheng's decision, Lin Yi frowned slightly.
In history, Great Qin had desperately suppressed the six countries 'nobles, causing them to lead the six countries' citizens to fight back. In the end, they had helped Great Qin's destruction.
It could be said that suppressing the nobles of the six countries would mean losing the hearts of the people.
If the hearts of the six countries were gone, how could they not rebel?
At that moment, a question arose in Lin Yi's mind.
The system notification sounded.
"Ding, this question is personally set by the main examiner. Please answer it seriously.”
What strategy should Great Qin use to resolve the chaos in the six countries?
One, cut the weeds and remove the roots, leaving nothing behind.
Two: Deprive all rights and be imprisoned for life.
3. Send assassins to assassinate them.
Fourth, adopt a policy of appeasement, forgive their crimes, and give them preferential treatment.
Four options appeared consecutively, and Ying Zheng's eyes immediately focused on this question.
The eyes of the officials also landed on this question.
Ying Zheng started a discussion around this question.
"If we want to resolve the chaos of the six states, we have to eliminate the roots!”Meng Tian said.
As a general, although he could read a few words, he still preferred to fight and kill. That was why he had always advocated the elimination of the six dynasties.
His heart had always been with Ying Zheng.
That was why Ying Zheng doted on him and trusted him so much.
[Ying Zheng, Little Meng is my personal assistant…]
Feng Quji frowned slightly. He and Li Si had always advocated for the preservation of the Six Nations, but at this moment, it would be rude to mention it again.
After all, Xiang Yu had massacred hundreds of thousands of people in Xianyang City in the later generations, and everyone was furious. If he brought it up now, not only would it be useless, but he would also be criticized.
"I agree with the first option, but the second option seems to be good too…" Feng Quji nodded.
"What's not bad? How dare you not side with His Majesty?" Little Meng was anxious.
"The six dynasties must be destroyed!" Ying Zheng sneered. I chose the first option, it must be correct!”
Cutting the weeds and removing the roots must be the best solution!
