Nanchi Road, the Last Great Qin

Full profile In 221 BC, Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world. To the north they chase the Huns, to the east they face the sea, and to the west they settle on the quicksand. Only the land of Baiyue in the south is still blank on the map. In order to open up a passage to the South China Sea, the First Emperor sent 500,000 troops and ordered Tu Sui as the chief general and Zhao Tuo as his deputy to conquer Lingnan. The army built the Nanchi Road, dug the Ling Canal, crossed the Five Ridges, and fought bloody battles with Baiyue tribes for three years. Miasma, food shortages, ambushes, night attacks - the Qin army paid a heavy price with more than half of them killed and injured. Tu Sui died in battle, the army was defeated, and Lingnan became a Shura field that devoured the flesh and blood of Qin people. When Ren Xiao was in danger, Zhao Tuo emerged. After the Ling Canal was dug and the grain road was connected, the Qin army entered Lingnan again and finally captured Panyu. Baiyue surrendered and three counties were established. Three hundred thousand soldiers of the Qin army and immigrants from the Central Plains took root in this strange land, building cities, opening fields, intermarrying and settling down. They gradually regarded this place as home. However, at this moment - shocking news came from Xianyang: the First Emperor passed away, the world was in chaos, and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. The 600,000 Lingnan Qin army became a lone army without a motherland overnight. Returning to the north is a dead end. The heroes of the Central Plains are vying for the throne, and once their tired army is involved, they will be crushed to pieces. Staying behind means betrayal. The empire they had been loyal to all their lives was gone, who should they loyal to? Before Ren Xiao died of illness, he said to Zhao Tuo: "Qin is unruly and the world suffers. The South China Sea is remote... This is also the lord of a state and can establish a country." They are the last army of the Qin Dynasty and the last continuation of the Qin Dynasty. The fire has not been extinguished, it has just changed the land and continues to burn under the moonlight of Lingnan.
