Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 245 Wu, Not a Barbarian
"Get away!"

"Chen is here!"

Shaofu, who was called by Qingji, was left and immediately stood up.

"You will be the envoy of my country of Wu to Yingdu!"

Qingji looked down at the bowed quilt, and said in a loud voice, "Warn the king and ministers of the state of Chu on behalf of the widow, if the people of Chu don't return Chang'an, Wu will attack them!"

"In addition, the three-year period has come. Ji Mi, the younger sister of the King of Chu, told me to marry me into my country of Wu and become the widow's wife. If the King of Chu refuses to allow her and she is divorced, do you know how to deal with it?"

Qingji's move is undoubtedly to provoke the state of Chu and stir up the sensitive nerves of the people of Chu!
If Qingji hadn't mentioned it, the ministers and officials of Wu would have forgotten about it!

At the meeting in Zhaoguan back then, Chu State proposed marriage, and Qingji also agreed.

However, considering that Ji Mi gave me under twelve years old and was not yet ready for marriage, it took three years for Ji Mi to marry me to Wu.

Isn't it the end of the three-year period?

Qingji ordered the state of Chu to let Ji Mi marry me, that's a matter of course!
"Your Majesty, I should do my best to benefit my country of Wu!"

"good!"

Qingji nodded slightly.

Originally, Beli, as the Shaofu, was not in charge of diplomatic affairs.

As a Dian Ke, Bo Tong is usually responsible for sending envoys to other countries.

It's just that Qingji considered that Bo Tong and the state of Chu had a deep blood feud, and he was afraid that Bo Tong had just arrived in Yingdu, and his life was in danger, and this matter would be discussed immediately!

Therefore, it is undoubtedly an excellent choice for Shaofu to be sent out as an envoy to Chu State.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

At this moment, Dazai Jizha stood up again and said.

"please say."

"A month ago, with Qi as the leader, Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, and Xu formed a coalition army to encircle and suppress the bandits of Bandit Zhi everywhere. Bandit Zhi was defeated, so he sent an envoy to Wudu to ask for help from Wu! "

"Oh?"

This was not beyond Qingji's expectation.

Robber Zhi seems to have committed public wrath!

With the support of Wu State, Robber Zhi exchanged money and slaves with Wu State for weapons, armor, and military supplies. Within three years, his power grew rapidly.

According to reports from Heibingtai, during the peak period of Bandit Zhi, there were [-] tribesmen scattered all over the Central Plains. They were aggressive and joined forces from time to time to conquer Song, Lu, Wei and other Central Plains countries. In the cities and towns, they robbed houses and houses, and did all sorts of evil.

Robber Zhi's actions undoubtedly made the countries of the Central Plains very troublesome.

Although all the countries have warned the state of Wu not to sell military supplies to Robber Zhi, how can Qingji obey?
Wu country's arms business is very booming now.

Not only Robber Zhi, but also Qi, Lu, Song, Wei and other countries had to purchase a large amount of weapons, armor and military supplies from Wu because of the war.

For Wu Guo, this has fallen into a virtuous circle.

The Wu country does business at both ends, making a lot of money, the kind that makes a steady profit without losing money!

However, under the joint attack of the countries of the Central Plains, Bandit Zhi, who has been wandering around for so many years, is obviously unable to hold on!
"Between the second and third sons, Yi'er and others, should our country of Wu send troops to assist Robber Zhi?"

Qingji asked calmly.

"No!"

Ji Zha objected first, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, after all, Bandit Zhi is just a thief, not equal to a country. Why is he on an equal footing with Your Majesty?"

"Furthermore, the bandits of Robber Zhi are ferocious and aggressive, burning, killing and looting all over the Central Plains. They have committed misdeeds, and have been cast aside by all countries in the world!"

"If my country of Wu sent troops to assist the bandit Zhi, how would it be different from a bandit?"

After a pause, Ji Zha said again: "Furthermore, although Wu and Robber Zhi have contacts in arms business, they have no covenant relationship. Even if we join forces with other countries in the Central Plains to encircle and wipe out Robber Zhi, what's the problem?"

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

"My minister agrees!"

"Rogue Zhi is such a rogue, the ministers are ashamed to be with him!"

"If you get rid of the bandits, you will be very happy!"

All the ministers stood up and expressed their opinions.

However, it was clear that their opinions were exactly the same as those of Jizha.

As nobles for generations, they simply look down on thieves like Robo Zhi!

If it wasn't for making money, they wouldn't have agreed to Qingji's business with Robber Zhi before killing them.

Seeing this, Qing Ji followed suit and said slowly, "Okay. If that's the case, I, Wu Guo, should stand by and watch."

"However, the widow thinks that sending troops to help Robo Zhi is not enough, and it is not impossible to take in Robo Zhi's thieves."

Upon hearing this, all officials including Ji Zha, Fan Li and other officials became impatient.

Ji Zha hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why do you take in the thieves? My country of Wu has been cast aside by the princes of the Central Plains because of our association with the bandit Zhi. If we take in the bandits of the bandit Zhi, wouldn't it be giving others a handle?"

"If the allied forces of the Central Plains countries come to invade, what should we, the Wu Kingdom, do with ourselves?"

"What Dazai said is absolutely true!"

"Think again, Your Majesty!"

"My lord, don't lose the big because of the small!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Obviously, none of the ministers understood Qingji's intention to take in Bandit Zhi.

Just as Ji Zha said, Wu State had been criticized by the princes of the Central Plains because of its association with Robber Zhi. They treated Wu State as a barbarian like Chu State, and expressed their disdain to associate with it.

What's more, accuse Qingji of being ungrateful!
Because Qingji was able to defeat Wu successfully and returned to China to seize the throne. It was in Weidi that he raised his troops and received support from Qi, Jin, Lu, Song, Wei and other Central Plains princes.

Now that Qing Ji'en is avenging revenge and selling weapons and equipment to Robber Zhi, making them cause chaos in the Central Plains, isn't it just ungrateful?
However, Qingji is extremely utilitarian.

Now that the Wu Kingdom has been disliked by the Central Plains countries and treated as a barbarian, why doesn't Qingji do everything he can to make a profit from it?
"Masters, why are you afraid of giving others a handle?"

Qingji waved his hand like a broken jar, and said loudly, "Wu is not a barbarian. However, the princes of the Central Plains regard Wu as a barbarian, so why don't you see him as a bandit?"

"Brother!"

"Chen is here!"

Dianke Botong immediately stood up.

"As the envoy of the widow, you will tell Robber Zhi that the widow is willing to accept him and his followers, make him a doctor, and feed a thousand households in Yunyang! If he is interested, he will definitely come to our country of Wu."

"Sir, obey the king's orders!"

Bo Tong immediately agreed.

There are one thousand households in the food town, which is rare among the many officials and officials in the state of Wu.

If Robber Zhi knew the current affairs, he would definitely come to seek refuge in Wu State when he was desperate.

As for the possibility that the princes of the Central Plains will join forces to attack Wu?
The possibility is really small!
Because Wu State is far away from the Central Plains, not to mention the long distance, in the end they can't take advantage of anything, just like the overlords of the Central Plains, Jin State and Qi State, often allied with princes to attack Chu, thankless!
Therefore, in Qing Ji's view, the princes of the Central Plains will only criticize Wu Guo in the end, and then the matter will be settled.
