The First Emperor conquered Baiyue in the south, and 300,000 criminal soldiers were used as cannon fodder and exiled to Lingnan. Meng Yi took up his post in shackles, and was reduced from a distinguished figure in the Qin court to the commander of the criminal camp - behind him was Zhao Gao's pursuit and the cold eyes of the court, and in front of him was the miasma of the wilderness and the death of the Baiyue elephant soldiers.
What others see as death is his new life! He used the military system of the Qin Dynasty to gather scattered criminals, and used the wisdom of infrastructure to open up wasteland and expand the land. He did not engage in conquest, but only talked about symbiosis: to ambush the troops in Lingqu, he used fire attack + spicy spices to destroy the elephant array; in the barbaric miasma, he built canals to divert water to cultivate fertile fields; in the Baiyue tribe, he exchanged civilization for peace, allowing Qin people and Yue people to stand side by side.
Zhao Gao wanted him to die in Lingnan? He wanted to take 300,000 abandoned people to build a city on the coast of the South China Sea, establish a country, and live his life as a light that the entire Qin Dynasty could look up to! Iron-blooded battles, farming and pioneering, and the integration of civilizations. This exile with no return will eventually be a pioneering epic that opens up the world.
