Abstract: That Qin swept out the other six states and achieved unification has influenced the direction of Eastern history and even the process of world history. Qin’s southern expedition to Baiyue deeply involved in two historical figures, “Wei Tu Sui” and “Jian Lu”, not high-ranking officials, ushering in a new political pattern and cultural direction. To set “Jun” in Nanhai, to build marine ships for advancing on “Baiyue”, and to excavate the Ling Canal for conveying military supplies, all these strategic measures contributed to expanding the territory of the Qin Empire, facilitated the integration of regional cultures, and opened the channel to Nanyang. From the perspectives of transportation history, water conservancy history, engineering history, shipping history, and ocean development history, it is necessary to well understand “building marine ships” and “excavating the Ling Canal”, the two far-sighted tactics proposed by “Wei Tu Sui” and “Jian Lu”, and their significance in changing the world order. The historical role of “Wei Tu Sui” and “Jian Lu” is worthy of historians’ attention.

Key words: Qin, Nanyue, Tu Sui, Jian Lu, building ships, canal excavating
