Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 290 Lost the wife and lost the army

Hearing that Nangwa rushed back to Yingdu to deal with state affairs at this time, Qingji couldn't help laughing and crying.

However, it is not surprising!
Nang Wa, Ling Yin of the Chu Kingdom, a powerful official of a generation, is actually a greedy and treacherous official, a gangster who is full of wine and food.

With such a person in charge of the military and political power of the Chu State, how can the Chu State not decline?

As for the reason why Nangwa evaded the alliance of eliminating soldiers, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

This time, Wu Chu's remembrance of soldiers is humiliating to Chu, and those who sign this covenant will undoubtedly be nailed to the pillar of shame in Chu's history!

Nangwa is already notorious, and if he signs such a covenant of humiliating power and humiliating the country, will he be spurned by all Chu people?

Qingji said with deep emotion: "It is a great misfortune for Chu to have Zichang. It is a great fortune for Chu to have Zixi and Shen Qing!"

"The king of Wu praised it."

Zixi and Shen Zhuliang who were praised by Qingji hurriedly said humbly.

As the so-called flower sedan chair people carry people.

No one would not like to hear flattery and flattery!
As an enemy Qingji, Zixi and Shen Zhuliang were undoubtedly very happy to be able to praise him like this, and they even had a good impression of Qingji.

"Two, please sit down."

As the host, Qingji stretched out his hand and asked Zixi and Shen Zhuliang to sit on both sides.

Later, the two copies of the letter of credence were placed on the case of Qingji and Zixi. Although papermaking has been invented and has gradually become popular in the world, documents are generally made of silk on important national events and important occasions. .

Qingji took a Langhao pen, signed his name on the credential without hesitation, and stamped it with the seal of King Wu.

He has read this credential several times and wrote it himself, so there is no need to worry about "contract traps".

As for Zixi and Shen Zhuliang, they signed their names after careful examination. As for seals, they were stamped with private seals. Very eye-catching!

After confirming that it was correct, the two parties reached a consensus.

"Come here, serve wine and meat!"

Qingji greeted the soldiers with a smile, and brought out the prepared wine and meat one by one.

"King Wu, this... I am busy with military affairs."

"No need to say more!"

Qingji stepped forward very enthusiastically, grabbed Zixi's arm, and said with a smile on his face, "The war is over, Wu and Chu are reunited, congratulations!"

"The visitor is a guest, and the widow is the host, how can I be rude?"

Qingji put on an appearance that Zixi and Shen Zhuliang refused, just to show no face, which made them very helpless.

Fortunately, now that things have come to an end, they are not afraid of Qingji playing tricks!
After they all sat down, they saw that the guard next to Qingji had already brought out plate after plate of wild vegetables and soybeans, together with a tripod of venison and a jar of fine wine, it could already be called a delicacy. .

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Zixi suddenly said: "Wu Wang, I heard that my king's sister, Princess Ji Mi is with Wu Wang, I don't know if it is true or not?"

"Master Shen is well-informed."

Qing Ji put down the wine bar, smiled lightly and said, "Ji Mi is indeed here."

"Can Your Majesty send Princess Ji Mi back to Yingdu?"

"Go back to Yingdu? Why go back to Yingdu?"

Qing Ji pretended to be dissatisfied, and said: "The widow and Ji Mi have already made a marriage contract, but Ji Mi was young at that time, and now she is old enough to get married, why not Wu Chuzhi?"

"Ugh!"

Zixi could only let out a long sigh.

Chu State really lost his wife and lost his army this time!
They never expected that Ji Mi would throw herself into Qingji's embrace.

If not, Chu State would take advantage of this opportunity to deny this marriage.

……

In the sixth year of Qingji, that is, at the end of June in 508 BC, Wu and Chu signed an alliance to eliminate soldiers in Jifu, declaring that the eight-month war ended in a draw.

Although it was a draw, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chu State suffered a big loss, while Wu State made a lot of money.

In order to avoid the eastward expansion of Chu State and get involved in Tong, Qunshu, Chao, and Zhongli lands newly occupied by Wu State, Qingji appointed Wu Zixu as the general of Zhenxi, increased the title of governor, and controlled the military forces in the cities west of Dajiang.

At the same time, the Wu army heavily garrisoned Qianyi and Liuyi to build city defenses to prevent the Chu army from advancing eastward in the future.

Considering that the state of Chu is still strong, Qingji asked the land under Wu Zixu's jurisdiction to be equipped with a standing army of [-] people from the state of Wu to prepare for any eventuality!
After the Wu-Chu War ended, the Chu State aimed its spearhead at the coalition forces of the vassal princes of the eighteen countries that were about to go south.

Chu State took Zixi as the general and Shen Zhuliang as the deputy general, and led [-] troops to garrison the front line of Fangcheng, preparing to resist the threat from the princes of the Central Plains.

King Wu Palace, the main hall.

Qingji, who was wearing a crown suit, was being worshiped by the officials.

Almost every triumphant return, Qingji will hold a court meeting the next day to deal with state affairs.

This time is no exception!

Qingji sat high on the Majesty's platform, looked around, looked at the group of officials and said slowly: "Second and three sons, Wu Chu has already eliminated the army, my country of Wu has newly acquired more than [-] cities west of the great river, how to arrange them? Second and third sons, please speak freely. "

The meaning of Qingji's words is to ask the ministers to discuss it.

Whether the newly seized land in the western part of the Wu State should be classified as Kuaiji County like the original Yuedi and Gumie for the convenience of governance.

Dazai Ji Zha first said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is better to follow the example of Kuaiji County and set up a county in the west to facilitate governance. My country of Wu is still far away from the west, and I am afraid that the government's government orders will not be transmitted to the west for a while. land!"

"What Dazai said is absolutely true!"

"My minister agrees!"

Right Prime Minister Ji Ran immediately stood up to support.

Seeing this, the officials all expressed their approval.

The establishment of Kuaiji County has indeed had a profound impact on the state of Wu.

Since the establishment of Kuaiji County, the state of Wu did not need to spend too much time and energy on taking care of the southern Yuedi, because Kuaiji County can be effectively governed, and it is only responsible to Wu Wang Qingji.

As for the administrative region at the county level, all the ministers believed that it was necessary to establish it in the West.

However, Qing Ji did not express his opinion immediately.

Seeing Qing Ji like this, Dian Ke Bo Tong, who has always been good at figuring out what to do, immediately came out with a wat in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think a new county should be set up in the West!"

"Why?"

Qingji asked unhurriedly.

"The situation in the West is different from that of the old Yue. There are many monarchs in the West, and people's hearts are scattered. I may not be able to obey the orders of the county guard. This is one of them!"

Bo Tong said loudly: "Secondly, the western region is bordered by the hinterland of the state of Chu, and it is inevitable that there will be wars. Our state of Wu needs to garrison heavily. If we set up a county, the county guard will have too much power and responsibility!"

"Thirdly, the western land is long and narrow, and the population is very large. The land is fertile and the people are rich. If the ruler of the town has a heart of disobedience, it will bring endless troubles to our country of Wu!"
