According to the "Xu Family Genealogy", it can be concluded that Xu Fu was a Native of Xu.
During the Qin Dynasty, Xu Fu, the character Junfang, was a famous alchemist, known to Qin Shi Huang, whose master was rumored to be Ghost Guzi, but because Ghost Guzi was missing, Xu Fu's identity could not be confirmed, but this theory was widely spread and would not be studied in depth here.
Xu Fuxundan had another task
It is said that Xu Fu is good at alchemy, and Qin Shi Huang has made many tours to seek a stable rule, while taking into account the expansion of the country, at this moment Qin Shi Huang wants to understand the customs of various places, but also wants to understand the overseas world, at this time Xu Fu is good at sailing, Xu Fu also said that overseas there are Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou three islands, there are immortal elixirs and immortals.
When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he paid a huge amount of money to make large ships and thousands of virgin boys and girls to hand over to Xu Fu, and also prepared food and daily necessities and tools for 3 years. On the pretext of seeking the elixir, Xu Fu was sent to the sea to seek the elixir. In fact, it is also to let Xu Fu go to sea to explore the way and check the situation overseas.
"Qin Shi Huang made Xu Fu send virgins and girls into the sea to seek immortals" - "Records of History"
Why is it said that Xu Fu did not go here simply looking for dan medicine? Because this tour is "costly", just to seek the elixir, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and the courtiers will be dissatisfied, especially Li Si, who will also block Qin Shi Huang. However, Qin Shi Huang made 5 southern tours in his lifetime, mainly to increase his prestige, while governing the Qin straight road and dredging traffic, which can also see qin shi huang's ambition, not just unification, but "where the sun shines, it is the royal land." ”
8 years later, Xu Fu returned to his life, Xu Fu did not even find a shadow of the elixir, the cost was so huge, it took 8 years of sailing, and when he returned, he brought such a result. What was the attitude of Qin Shi Huang at that time? He did not get angry, and after talking to Xu Fu, he decided to let Xu Fu go to sea again.
The search for Dan is false
8 years ago, the search for Dan was false, in fact, Xu Fu had another task, for Qin Shi Huang to explore whether there were other countries on the sea, Qin Shi Huang was good to attack and open up the territory. If Xu Fu encountered a deserted place, he could leave the virgin boys and girls behind and develop in the local wilderness, so he brought them agricultural tools, seeds and grain.
Searching for Dan is a pretext, so there is no return of the elixir, and Qin Shi Huang is not angry, which should be Xu Fu's task in these 8 years has been completed very well, so Qin Shi Huang once again sent Xu Fu to the sea.
Qin Shi Huang was old
This is also an important reason, this time Qin Shi Huang came to Langya to see Xu Fu, Xu Fu after the task, took on a new mission to the sea, which is also related to Qin Shi Huang's old age, after all, Qin Shi Huang has been fighting for supremacy in the world all his life, but his life expectancy is very limited, in the face of the contradictions in the Qin Dynasty, he is also a little powerless, only rely on foreign wars to transfer contradictions. It can be seen that the layout of Qin Shi Huang is very large, his ambition is still far from complete, at this time Qin Shi Huang is completely different from the state of mind of 8 years ago, once he disdained the "immortal medicine", at this moment, he has a little heartbeat. This can be seen from Qin Shi Huang's self-designation at that time, he no longer called himself "Yuan", but called himself "Real Person", and this change reflected Qin Shi Huang's inner monologue. Because if Xu Fu really finds the "Immortal Medicine", then he can continue to complete his dream.
Qin Shi Huang did not get angry with Xu Fu, one was because his task was completed, and the other was because he had a new task, and this time Xu Fu's main task was probably to really find the "Immortal Medicine".
Xu Fu didn't want to go to sea anymore
When Xu Fu heard that Qin Shi Huang wanted him to go to sea again, he was very reluctant in his heart, after all, every Chinese wanted to live a peaceful and stable life, and the days of drifting at sea all year round were not good.
Therefore, Xu Fu shirked that there was a "sea god" blocking the way on the sea and could not go to the sea, hoping to use this as an excuse to achieve the purpose of not going to the sea.
"Penglai medicine is available, but it is often suffering from the big mackerel, so it is not allowed to come, please shoot it with good shooting, and shoot it with a crossbow."
However, this time, Qin Shi Huang made up his mind and personally got on the ship to hunt down and kill the "sea god". The so-called "sea god" was really a large mackerel, and in the end, the mackerel was killed.
In this way, Xu Fu had no choice but to go to sea again, bringing grain, thousands of boys and girls, agricultural tools, seeds, soldiers, etc. After everything was available, Xu Fu went to sea again, and it was this time that Xu Fu never returned.
Xu Fu's unspeakable secret of not returning to the sea
Some people say that Xu Fu is lying and deceiving people, and he can't find the elixir at all, so he absconds in fear of crime, and eventually lands in Japan and becomes the ancestor of the Japanese.
Xu Fu had no reason to abscond
If Xu Fu is really a liar so simple, after the first time he went to sea, the materials and personnel he brought were almost the same as the second time, after 8 years, without finding anything, why did he return to meet Qin Shi Huang, was it that the first time He Xu Fu was not afraid of death, and the second time he absconded in fear of crime? Obviously illogical.
Moreover, when he returned for the first time, Xu Fu was empty-handed, did not get the elixir at all, and Qin Shi Huang did not dispose of him, which showed that Xu Fu completed the task secretly given by Qin Shi Huang.
Moreover, Xu Fu did not want to continue to go to sea for the second time, just to find a pretext, was personally "wiped out" by Qin Shi Huang himself, with the death of the mackerel, Xu Fu had to go to sea for the second time, it was Qin Shi Huang who "begged" him to go to sea, he had no reason to abscond in fear of crime, what is the crime?
Xu Fu had good reasons not to return
Xu Fudongdu did not return, there are good reasons. Why? Because on xu fu's boat, not only Xu Fu was an adult, there were soldiers at that time, there were soldiers naturally there were generals, this general must be a person that Qin Shi Huang believed, the main task was to protect Xu Fu, and the secondary task was to monitor Xu Fu.
Although the history of Zhengshi was not recorded in detail, at that time, it was believed that there must be many people in Xu Fu's fleet at that time, otherwise thousands of virgin boys and girls, so many people let Xu Fu take care of a big old man, it was obviously unrealistic, there should be many female relatives accompanying.
Under such circumstances, whether or not to return to China is not something that Xu Fu alone can decide, he wants to abscond in fear of crime, and other people will not obey his orders at all, and if they do not do well, they will arrest Xu Fu and return to China to resume his life.
In the end, Xu Fudong did not return to China after crossing, and the other people did not seem to have any objections. From this point of view, we see that Xu Fudongdu does not return, in fact, Xu Fudongdu's non-return is recognized by all personnel.
After Xu Fu's second eastward crossing, Qin Shi Huang died in the Dune Palace on his way back because of his serious illness. Later, Li Si and Zhao Gao falsely passed on the will, Fu Su committed suicide, Hu Hai ascended to the throne, and for a time the Qin State was in chaos, and it was no longer the Great Qin Empire when Qin Shi Huang was alive. Such news reached the ears of Xu Fu and his party in Dongdu, and Xu Fu naturally would not choose to return to the Qin Kingdom at this time to resume his life.
Because Xu Fu has no object of resurrection, after returning, in the chaotic world, it is better to stay in the newly discovered "Plain Guangze" and live a paradise-like life, and such a decision has been agreed by Xu Fu and his party, which has Led to Xu Fudong's return, rather than finding the "elixir" and absconding!
Qin Shi Huang spent a huge amount of money to fund Xu Fu to go to sea again, and in the end, Xu Fu failed to return to his life again, and he deeply felt that he had lost the emperor's favor!
