"Sir, the climate of this land of Baiyue is different from that of the Central Plains, and it is summer now. The weather is sultry and hot, and snakes, insects and wild beasts are rampant, which can easily breed bad diseases!"
Shi Lu respectfully said to Zhao Shu, "The doctors have a certain understanding of this and have also found a herbal medicine that can generally prevent it."
"At the same time, the people of Baiyue are tough and good at walking in the mountains and forests. They appear and disappear. Young Master, beware!"
.......
For half an hour, Shi Lu told Zhao Shu everything he knew, and Zhao Shu wrote everything down.
Although he already understood some things, he didn't want to ruin Shi Lu's good intentions.
After sending Shi Lu away, murderous intent flashed in Zhao Shu's eyes.
The people of Baiyue are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, which is undoubtedly a big threat to the warriors of Great Qin.
Using one's own shortcomings to overcome the enemy's strong points, Zhao Shu never did such a stupid thing. War in the mountains and forests was the weakness of the Qin warriors.
His original intention was to train corresponding mountain divisions.
Going south from Moling, he had been doing this, training the elites of Great Qin, and even transferred some of the elites to form a mountain division.
However, because time was too hasty, the growth of the Mountain Division did not meet expectations. The most important thing was that there were too few manpower.
He knew in his heart the shortcomings of the Mountain Division.
Wireless had not yet been invented, which was a huge obstacle to the transmission of military orders. Even though he had developed the method of raising troops by beacon fire, he still could not completely overcome it.
If the number of mountain divisions is large enough, these problems can naturally be solved. However, Zhao Shu only has 5,000 people in his hands.
This amount is far from enough for Zhao Shu.
Moreover, the next battle will mainly take place in mountains and forests.
With thoughts in his mind, Zhao Shu's eyes fell on Minzhong County, although the Dongou people had become the complete enemies of the Qin Dynasty and were destined to be destroyed.
However, Fujian and Vietnam are different.
Similarly, compared to the warriors of Great Qin, the young men of Minyue were better at fighting in the mountains and forests.
When Liu Qing surrendered, the Minyue army was still being treated as surrendered pawns and was all sent to Lingqu.
After thinking about this, Zhao Shu turned to Zhao Beichen and said, "Inform the Minzhong County Magistrate to send five thousand young men from the Minyue tribe."
"At the same time, find all the generals who have surrendered in Minyue. I will see them. Come one by one!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Zhao Beichen turned and left.
At this moment, Zhao Shu turned to Li Xu and said, "Inform Yan Mo and ask Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo from the Yin Palace to come immediately to dig the Ling Canal!"
"promise!"
The light in Zhao Shu's eyes was deep.
He knew in his heart that destroying Baiyue was just the beginning. Next, he would have to clean up Yelang and other places, and go south to the Indochina Peninsula.
Most places are mountains and forests!
He needs to prepare in advance.
Watching Li Xu leave, Zhao Shu wrote three letters, used his own seal, and said to the iron eagle warrior: "Send the letters to Ba, Shu, and central Guizhou respectively."
"Give the letter to the highest local official!"
"promise!"
Zhao Shu knew that the situation in Bashu was very complicated.
Not only were there government officials, but also the Qin royal family held real power, and there were also local powerful people entrenched in it. The forces of all parties were complex.
Although he is the Young Master of Great Qin and is now famous all over the world, these people may not listen to him.
With this thought, Zhao Shu wrote a secret report and handed it to the special envoy of Heibingtai, who rushed it to Xianyang.
He wanted to use the power of the Qin Dynasty to force Bashu and Qianzhong to obey his orders.
Zhao Shu understood that he needed to deploy in advance!
Only in this way can they be defeated one by one, and at the same time, the cooperation of the court is also needed.
Less than half an hour later, Li Xu walked into the shogunate with a middle-aged man from Minyue and saluted Zhao Shu.
"I've met the young master!"
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Zhao Shu nodded: "What's your name?"
"Master, surrender Si Ran!"
The middle-aged man looked a little tired. It was obvious that the construction work on the Ling Canal was very heavy and he did not get a good rest.
Looking at the middle-aged man, Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "You, the Minyue clan, are descendants of the King of Yue, and the King of Yue comes from the surname Si, which is one of the eight major surnames in the Central Plains."
"The surname Si comes from King Yu!"
"And King Dayu is one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Do you know what this means?"
The middle-aged man raised his head, looked at Zhao Shu, and said, "The surname Si comes from the Central Plains and is one of the orthodox Chinese names!"
"Um!"
Zhao Shu nodded, and then motioned for the middle-aged man to take a seat: "This also means that both the Minyue people and I, the Qin people, are all members of the Huaxia tribe!"
"Although we don't understand each other and have different customs, these are all formed later. Our roots are the same!"
"My master plans to form an army composed of people from the Minyue tribe, but this army lacks a general. Are you interested?"
At this point, Zhao Shu changed the topic and said, "You don't need to answer now. Li Xu will explain to him the military merit and honor system!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Li Xu turned to Si Ran and said, "Our Great Qin's twenty-level military merit and honors system means that as long as you are a member of our Great Qin's elites and kill enemies and perform meritorious service on the battlefield, you will be rewarded with titles!"
"From now on, I became a noble of the Qin Dynasty..."
.......
"Now you are just surrendered soldiers, but you are also a member of our Great Qin. As long as you kill the enemy and perform meritorious service on the battlefield, you can change the current situation!"
"As long as you have the ability, you may become the first Fujian and Yue general in our Great Qin Army in the future!"
"My king never hesitates to award rewards, and I, Qin Fa, guarantee all of this!"
Zhao Shu watched Li Xu explain the military merit system and Qin law to Si Ran, and a smile appeared on his lips. He knew in his heart that as long as Si Ran was unwilling to do so, he would definitely be moved.
As a man, you know what's going on in a man's heart.
As Li Si said, poverty is a man's shame!
The same goes for Si Ran!
After a long while, Si Ran looked up at Zhao Shu and said, "Master, it's not impossible to make the last general sacrifice his life!"
"The general is not an ignorant person!"
"As long as the young master does not deceive the junior general, we, the Minyue people, will be treated the same as the Qin people. The junior general is willing to be the young master and willing to die for the Great Qin!"
There is no doubt that Si Ran is an ambitious person and also a smart person.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Shu smiled and nodded: "As long as you become a warrior of my Great Qin, I will naturally treat you all equally!"
"In the army, we are all heroes!"
"As for the Minyue people, as long as they are devoted to Qin, with the king's broad mind, they will naturally treat them equally!"
"They are from the Minyue tribe, but they are also my subjects of Da Qin. As long as they abide by Qin laws and obey the government's decrees, as long as they are treated as the people of Da Qin can enjoy, they will naturally not lack it!"
