Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 242
Gumi State is a small state vassalized by Yue State, bordering Wu and Yue.

The predecessor of the Gumi Kingdom can be traced back to the Hog Wei Kingdom in the Xia Dynasty.

It was a tribe that was good at raising pigs and using pigskin. It came from the Dapeng Kingdom, and its fiefdom was in Yanzhou in the Central Plains.

By the middle of the Shang Dynasty, the state of Huwei had developed into a large country with a large family lineage and many branches. Due to its high achievements, it was forcibly destroyed by Shang Wuding, together with the brother states of Dapeng and Zhuji.

After the destruction of the Hogwei Kingdom, the tribe split into multiple branches, and moved to various places with the brother countries, one of which was the Gumi Kingdom.

The initial fiefdom of Gumi Kingdom was in Qi County, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, and maintained a good relationship with the royal family in the late Shang Dynasty. The king of Shang often went to Gumi for field hunting tours.

Because of this, with the fall of the Shang Dynasty and Zhou Xing, the Gumi people were bundled up and moved to Qingzhou along with the six Yin people for centralized surveillance.

As far as Qingji knows, the Gumi people have always been regarded as stubborn Yin people by the Zhou people, and they were placed in a corner of the Lu Kingdom and suppressed for a long time, so they were naturally dissatisfied with the Zhou people.

Coincidentally, during the reign of King Cheng, the Rebellion of the Three Supervisors broke out, Wu Geng became a demon, and various ethnic groups in Dongyi rose up to rebel.

The Gumi people also followed the trend of the times and joined the tide of rebellion. From then on, the fate of the Gumi people began to be displaced!
After the rebellion of the Three Supervisors was settled, Duke Zhou continued his eastward expedition, suppressed the rebellion of Dongyi with an iron fist, and massacred and expelled a large number of alien races. Afterwards, King Cheng re-divided the world, and the pattern of the Central Plains changed drastically.

Many Dongyi tribes moved their power to Huaiyi.

However, Duke Zhou led his troops to drive these rebels to the south of the Yangtze River, and Dongyi was completely conquered.

During this period, the surviving Gumi people were also forced to move south along with other tribes, but the state of Lu only left a place name called Gumi, which is still in use at this time.

After Dongyi was pacified, the Zhou people then turned their military strategy to Huaiyi. The Gumi people failed to settle in Huaiyi, but continued to move south.

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Gumi people had already taken root on the shore of Taihu Lake, but by the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the border of Gumi had become the territory of Yue State.

It was precisely because of the expansion of Wu and Yue that the Gumi people moved south again.

Gumi people are very unfortunate, but also very lucky.

Unfortunately, they have been migrating for more than a thousand years, from Henan to Shandong, from Shandong to Jianghuai, from Jianghuai to the shore of Taihu Lake, from the shore of Taihu Lake to places further south, and finally took root, but became the Yue Kingdom. vassal.

Fortunately, the Gumi Kingdom has always existed and has not been wiped out!
In the original history, in 482 BC, when Fu Chai was meeting with the princes at the meeting of Huangchi in the north, Gou Jian took this opportunity to attack Wu, killed the Wu prince, and defeated Wu.

The Gumi people were one of the main forces of Goujian's army against Wu. It can be seen that the Gumi people had become part of the Yue people at that time, and according to the brave and warlike nature of the Gumi people, they were organized into a military system by the Yue people and established the Gumi division.

Just like the division of Shenxi of the Chu State, he wrote an important stroke in the war of the Yue people against Wu.

So, how could Qingji leave behind such a Gumi country?

Just like when the Jin army falsely attacked Guo, Qingji immediately secretly ordered Sun Wu and Wu Zixu to lead an army of [-] people under the banner of destroying Gumi country. country perish!

Is it a surprise, is it unexpected, is it exciting?

I believe that killing Yun Chang and others would never have guessed that Qing Ji would still keep this hand.

So what if they didn't expect it?

Cutting off the connection between Yunchang and the Juwuyue people, the Yue people without a leader will surely be reduced to a mess and be slaughtered by the Wu army.

……

"Your Majesty, Yue Fumei Jiang is asking to see you."

When Qingji was putting on his royal robes and preparing to welcome his father-in-law and brother-in-law Yunchang and Goujian, he heard the guards come to report.

"Let her in."

"promise!"

Not long after, under the guidance of Su Wei, younger sister Jiang entered the side hall with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

Sister Jiang is a beauty with superior looks, a typical woman unique to Jiangnan Water Village.

As the saying goes, one side nourishes another person, sister Jiang has a kind of graceful beauty, and her young woman's charm is even more glamorous, which is quite attractive to Qing Ji.

However, because of affection and the principle that a friend's wife should not be bullied, Qingji has not attacked his younger sister Jiang for a long time.

At this time, the younger sister, Jiang, was still wearing a simple white dress, her hair was tied with a wooden hairpin, and a filial belt was tied on her forehead. It was obvious that she was still wearing sackcloth and mourning for her dead husband Shi Meng.

"Jiang, a civilian woman, see the king. The king will live for ten thousand years!"

Sister Jiang immediately saluted Qing Jifu.

Qingji smiled lightly and said, "Sister-in-law Shi doesn't need to be polite, please sit down."

"Thank you king."

Sister Jiang leaned forward and sat down slowly.

"Your Majesty takes care of everything every day, and the women come to bother him, please forgive me."

"Where. Mrs. Shi is serious!"

Qing Ji shook his head and said: "The widow is at leisure, why bother? I don't know why Sister Shi is here?"

Hearing this, sister Jiang lowered her head, gritted her silver teeth lightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the women are here to say goodbye to you, Your Majesty."

"Goodbye?"

Qingji couldn't help frowning, but still asked in the usual tone: "Sister-in-law Shi, but the eunuch Gong'e in the palace has never taken good care of you and Yiguang? Or is there something unsatisfactory in your heart?"

"Sister Shi, you can speak out as much as you want, but if you need something, I will definitely satisfy you."

Hearing this, my younger sister Jiang was very moved, but she still shook her head, and said in a more firm tone: "Your Majesty, women and Yi Guang live in the palace without worrying about food and clothing. They are indeed comfortable and comfortable. place."

"However, the women and Yiguang mother and daughter have been taken care of by the king for a long time."

"Now that the war between Wu and Yue has subsided, the king will send his troops back to the capital of Wu. My mother and daughter are from Yue, so the name of the Yue people is not correct, and their words are not right. Naturally, it is inconvenient to go back to the court with the king's squad..."

"absurd!"

Before sister Jiang could finish speaking, Qingji scolded and said, "Sister-in-law Shi, how could you have such thoughts?"

"Your family is the widow's savior. Before Shi brother died, he even entrusted your mother and daughter to the widow. How can the widow ignore you?"

"So, where do you put the widow? Doesn't the widow become an ungrateful person? Doesn't it make the widow laugh at the world?"

"Your Majesty calm down!"

Seeing Qingji's "wrath", sister Jiang was taken aback, her face was pale, her face turned pale and she said: "Your Majesty, it is the honor of the householder's family to meet you in this life. !"

After a pause, my younger sister Jiang smiled bitterly again, and said: "Your Majesty, please release the women and Yi Guang back to the mountains. Although the royal palace is good, and the clothes and food are good, but the women, mother and daughter come from humble backgrounds." , only rough tea and light food is enough to spend the rest of my life.”

"I really dare not ask the king to take care of me!"

Hearing this, Qingji's expression was not very good-looking.

He knew what his younger sister Jiang was worried about, but it was inconvenient to say it out loud.
