会稽郡 / Kuaiji Commandery
会稽郡 / Kuaiji Commandery enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》119-3｜历史上第一位真正意义上“垂帘听政”太后 as the commandery Qin establishes after 王翦 pacifies Jiangnan and subdues 百越. The source treats it as an administrative marker showing Qin converting the old Wu-Yue region into commandery rule after Chu’s destruction.
The page is source-scoped because the episode itself narrows the claim. Kuaiji anchors Qin’s reach into the southeast, but the host cautions that full Lingnan incorporation is a later post-unification campaign, not necessarily something completed in this notice.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》123-2｜古代时期的“倒插门”到底有多危险 supplies the later contrast named above. Qin now pushes deeper into Lingnan and creates 桂林郡, 南海郡, and 象郡, so Kuaiji remains the earlier southeastern commandery marker rather than the endpoint of southern incorporation.
Qinji 128-7 gives Kuaiji a new role after Qin’s collapse begins. Its governor 殷通 wants to answer 陈胜’s uprising and asks 项梁 to help lead the move, but Xiang Liang and 项羽 instead kill Yin Tong, seize the commandery seal, and gather nearly eight thousand troops. The commandery therefore shifts from Qin administrative consolidation to rebel infrastructure through 会稽郡守府夺权.
