Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 218
I saw that on the map, all the existing places in Wu State were clearly outlined, ranging from large cities to small small trails, all marked.

Qingji immediately led his ministers to watch.

Qing Ji took the straight whip from Jiao Hua, looked at the map, and pointed to a place along the river.

"Let's make it all here!"

"This……"

All the ministers couldn't help but looked at each other in blank dismay, stunned for a while.

Qingji actually wants to choose the address of Xindu along the river?

The north of Wu State?
Moreover, it was just a barren place, with only villages, but no cities!
What's the point?

The ministers were very puzzled.

"Why did Your Majesty set his capital here?"

Dazai Ji Zha looked puzzled, and said: "Although this land was originally Wu land, it is not the hometown of Wu state, and it is across the river, and it is adjacent to Chu state."

"In the future, if there is a war between Wu and Chu, the Chu army can cross the river and attack the new capital. At that time, the new capital will be approached by the enemy, and the state of Wu will be in danger of subjugation. How can the king deal with himself?"

The place Qingji chose was Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

At this time, there is no talk of Jinling and Nanjing, and that place is inconspicuous, not even the most basic city.

However, Qingji firmly believed in the saying that "Jinling has a royal spirit".

Wang Qi is the auspicious air that symbolizes the fortune of the emperor!
During the Warring States period, King Wei of Chu buried gold to suppress the spirit of the king, so it was called Jinling.The six dynasties of Wu, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen of the latter three kingdoms all established their capitals here.

And "Jiang Biao Zhuan" even records: Moling, built by King Wu of Chu, is named Jinling.The terrain is Gangfu with stones (mountains).

Visiting the old man, it is said that in the past Qinshihuang visited Kuaiji in the east and passed through this county. Those who watched the weather said that the terrain of Jinling has the atmosphere of a king's city, so the Liangang was excavated and renamed Moling.

Now the place exists, the earth has its spirit, and it is the destiny of the sky, so it should be a city.

"Your Majesty, what Dazai said is absolutely true!"

Before Qingji could speak, the eunuch Shenxi said, "Our country of Wu has a vast territory, and there are so many beautiful places? Why bother to move the capital all the way to the south of the river for Chu people or other countries? threatened?"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Qing Ji was not annoyed, but said slowly: "My long-cherished wish in life is to dominate the world for Wu, not just to dominate one side."

"If you only want to destroy and weaken Chu and become a small tyrant, you don't have to move your capital. However, if your ambition is in the world, why does the capital live in a corner?"

"..."

All the ministers were silent.

Because what Qingji said really made sense!
The capital, as the political, military center, and even the economic center of a country, would be outrageous if it was located in a remote place.

Because if the state of Wu tried to go north to fight for hegemony, it would be too exhausting to dispatch troops from the capital of Wu, and it would be very disadvantageous.

Once the capital is located in the south of the river, the situation will be very different.

Just like the historical Wu Wang Helu built a new capital.

Helu City was built under the supervision of Wu Zixu.

Because a mere capital city of Wu could no longer serve as the capital of a hegemonic power.

Qingji is ambitious, so naturally he can't be satisfied with dominating one side.

"Whether that place is suitable as the new capital of our country of Wu remains to be investigated."

"Changqing, Zixu."

"Chen is here!"

Sun Wu and Wu Zixu stood up immediately.

"The two of you will go to the site to investigate. If the place is really suitable for a new capital, then draw a blueprint and plan it. Be sure to create a capital that fits the atmosphere of a great country!"

"I respectfully obey the king's orders!"

Qingji's words have already reached this point, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the location of Xindu is undoubtedly that place.

"The widow wants to wave his teacher to destroy Yue, but I don't know what the second and third sons want?"

Qingji finally revealed his real purpose for holding this court meeting.

Mie Yue!

This is a long-cherished wish in Qingji's heart.

Because people with insight can see that if Wu State wants to dominate the world and dominate the princes, it must destroy Yue. While eliminating this worry, it can also add a lot of national power to Wu State.

It was just that the time was not ripe before, but now, the national strengths of the Wu and Yue countries are far apart. If there is no accident, the Wu country will definitely annex the southern Yue country in one go!
"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Dian Ke Bo Tong first seconded: "The Yue Kingdom will not be destroyed, but it will eventually become a hidden danger!"

"Although the Yue people have captured the land of the Sanyi, they are still busy suppressing the rebellion of the Sanyi people. They are too busy to take care of themselves, and the country is empty. If our country Wu takes this opportunity to send troops to attack the Yue, we will surely complete our achievements in one battle and destroy the Yue in one battle!"

Upon hearing this, Qingji just laughed it off.

The ministers present looked at Bo Tong with contempt, and secretly cursed that the villain is successful!
However, they had to admit that the tactful Bo Tong was indeed good at flattering and flattering, and few people in the world could match Bo Tong.

The ministers had no objection to Qingji's claim that he wanted to wipe out Yue.

Even Ji Zha, who has always advocated peace as the most important thing, chose to agree!

"It's the right time for your majesty to send troops to destroy Yue. However, the veteran thinks that the army should not be unknown. Before conquering Yue, your majesty should choose a just reason to declare war on Yue."

Hearing Ji Zha's words, Qingji couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, very speechless.

A famous teacher?

In order to destroy the country of Yue, do we still need to find an excuse?

Wu Jun wants to become a teacher of justice?
This really wants to be a piao, but also wants to be a chastity memorial archway!

However, the war in the Spring and Autumn Period was indeed like this.

Although it is said that there is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, people have always been criticized for destroying a country indiscriminately.

Chu State claims to be a barbarian, so it has no such scruples.

Then why does Wu Guo need to be so secretive?

Before Qingji could speak, Wu Zixu, the lieutenant of the court sitting at the bottom, said, "The Dazai's words are wrong. Yue is a barbarian. I, the king of Wu, respect the king and fight against the barbarians. Why not?"

Good guy!
Wu Zixu used "respecting the king and fighting against the barbarians" as a big excuse for conquering Vietnam!

A high-sounding excuse.

"inappropriate."

Ji Zha shook his head and said, "The State of Yue was founded by Shaokang's concubine Wuyu. It is a direct descendant of Dayu. How can it be a barbarian? If my State of Wu refers to the State of Yue as a barbarian, what difference does it make?"

"I don't know what Dazai's opinion is?"

"It's not difficult for Wu Guo to want his teacher to be famous. If there is a dispute on the border between the two countries, so that the cities will attack each other, won't the war between Wu and Yue start?"

"good!"

Qingji nodded in agreement.

It is not difficult to find a reason to start a war.

Although it might seem superfluous to take off his pants and fart, but Qingji can also choose to do so.

Because the Wu and Yue countries had reduced their garrisons on the border earlier, it was stipulated that with the Yuer River as the boundary, the garrisons of the two countries should not exceed [-] people.

However, at the beginning of the war, the movements on Wu's side could not be hidden from Yue's eyeliner.

So Qingji doesn't mind if he can fight this battle of annihilation in an upright manner!

Now the national power of Wu State can completely crush Yue State in all aspects!
