Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Wu Zixu's words made Qingji feel elated and moved.

Not bad!

The current state of Wu is fully capable of competing with the state of Jin for supremacy.

It was really impossible to fight. After failing to compete in the Central Plains, the Wu army was still able to retreat to Jingdi, using various natural and dangerous passes to stop the coalition forces of the princes going south.

In fact, Wu Zixu does not lack strategic vision.

He sent troops to attack Zheng without authorization, in order to allow Wu State to enter the Central Plains as soon as possible, Chen Bing in Luoyi, defeated Jin State, and then helped Qingji achieve some hegemony.

But isn't this a little too eager?
After calming down, Qingji still didn't dare to face the sharp edge of Jin.

The current power of the Jin State is still at its peak and remains high.

Don't look at the state of Jin at this time, just like the royal family of Zhou.

The six ministers of the Jin State are powerful, and they can compete with medium-sized countries such as the Wei State and the Song State if they are singled out.

If the six are in one, it can be called invincible in the world.

As the saying goes, brothers fight against the wall and defend against their insults from outside!
Wu Guo meddled in the Central Plains and attempted to seize Jin's long-standing hegemony, and the Liu Qing would definitely not agree.

Therefore, Qingji's scruples lie here.

Rushing to go north to fight for hegemony is not in line with Qingji's national policy for Wu.

"Not right, not right. The time is not yet ripe..."

Qingji waved his hands.

Seeing that the monarch did not adopt his strategy, Wu Zixu was not depressed.

"My lord, there is no need for the country of Jing to exist any longer."

Wu Zixu said slowly: "If your majesty is not willing to take risks, and go north to compete for the deer as soon as possible, you can also set up counties in Jingdi, and completely turn them into cities and lands of our Wu Kingdom."

"..."

You can think about this matter.

The establishment of the Kingdom of Jing was just a transition for Qingji to take care of the feelings of Chu people.

If the time is right and the Jing people return to their hearts, Qing Ji might as well ban Jing State, directly set up the county system, and include it in Wu State's territory.

At this time, Fan Li who was standing aside said, "Your Majesty, I think what the Censor said is true."

"If the country of Jing is banned, our country of Wu will have more energy to go north."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not..."

Hearing the words, Qing Ji said, somewhat dumbfounded: "Young Uncle, why are you like Zixu, talking so hesitantly? Tell me what you have to say."

The reason why Wu Zixu and Fan Li hesitated and hawed about some things is really not easy to say directly.

For fear of being blamed by Qingji!

However, both of them also know that Qingji is here and has never been convicted of speech, so there is no need to care too much about what is there or what is not.

Fan Li then bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. If Your Majesty has the ambition to dominate the Central Plains, he should move his capital to Wandi and establish a new capital."

"When there is a change in the world, the king can lead his troops to the north, drive straight in, and conquer the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and achieve a king's career!"

"..."

Qingji was stunned for a moment, but didn't speak.

Wu Zixu, who was standing aside, couldn't help taking a deep breath, feeling extremely shocked.

Fan Li could say such words?
Aren't you afraid that Qingji might suspect that Fan Li has a different intention?
...

"tell me your opinion."

Qingji didn't make a judgment immediately, but planned to listen to Fan Li's opinion seriously.

Seeing this, Fan Li glanced at Qingji secretly, and then said slowly, "Your Majesty, Jinling City is located in the southeast corner. Although it is close to the Central Plains, its geographical location is not comparable to that of Wandi."

"If the enemy is Qi State, Jinling is the capital of Wu State, so there is nothing wrong with it. However, the number one enemy of Wu State is now Jin State, not Qi State!"

After a pause, Fan Li said solemnly again: "Your Majesty, I have already planned for the State of Wu."

"Wandi, and its surrounding cities, are close to the Central Plains, controlling the north and south, with Chu in the west, Chengzhou in the north, and Zheng, Xu and other vassal states. There are mountains and waters, and the land is full of fertile soil."

"Moreover, Wandi is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the fortress is surrounded by sanitation. It has the appearance of a land of fish and water in the south of the Yangtze River, and the daily customs of the north."

"Except that the transportation is not convenient enough. Your Majesty, I think that Wandi has all the conditions to be the new capital of the Wu Kingdom!"

Hearing this, Qingji fell into deep thought.

Wan County, later Nanyang, this place is indeed remarkable.

As the saying goes, one side's water and soil support one side's people.

Nanyang has been an outstanding place since ancient times.

The most famous are the Four Sages: Zhang Zhongjing, the sage of medicine, Zhuge Liang, the sage of wisdom, Zhang Heng, the sage of science, and Fan Li, the sage of business.

There are also Liu Xiu, Huang Zhong, Deng Ai, Wenpin, Baili Xi, etc. All in all, many historical celebrities have been born in this place.

The most important thing is that the geographical location of Wandi (Nanyang) is very superior.

Legend has it that Dayu's flood control began in Huaiyuan, Nanyang.

After Dayu dredged the Huaihe River, he climbed mountains and marked trees, measured mountains and rivers, managed the "Nine Mountains" and "Nine Rivers", and divided the world into nine regions, namely "Kyushu".

In order to effectively govern Kyushu, Dayu specially built a road that can run through various places - Xia Road.

Xia Road passes through Wuguan from Guanzhong to Nanyang, and from Nanyang to the Central Plains and the eastern states in the north.

Xia Road connects Kyushu, and Nanyang is its transportation axis.

This shows the important position of Nanyang.

Moreover, Nanyang has a long history.

As early as [-] to [-] years ago, "Nanzhao ape-man" thrived in the upper reaches of the Baihe River.

About five or six thousand years ago, villages and houses appeared there, and handicraft industries such as agriculture, animal husbandry and pottery were produced.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Nanyang belonged to Jingzhou, and because it was in the south of the Zhou Dynasty, it was called "Zhou Tu" by the Zhou people.

In this era, that is, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wandi has become one of the eight major cities in the world.

Wandi people have started to use ironware, and have handicrafts and commerce such as iron smelting and silk, especially the rapid development of copper casting industry, with a high level of craftsmanship.

At this time, with Fan Li's advice, the idea of ​​moving the capital to Nanyang also sprouted in Qingji's mind.

Nanyang not only includes Wandi, but also Deng, Shen, Chao...

In the past, after Dayu became the emperor, he chose Denglin as the capital of the country.

Deng Lin was the capital of the Xia Dynasty, and Deng was called the capital of Yu.

The area around Nanyang and Yingchuan is the main activity area of ​​the Xia people, and it is the root of the Xia people. The Xia people lived here, and the earliest capital city was also chosen to be Denglin.

This also made Qingji think that Nanyang is indeed qualified to carry Wu's national fortune.

The state of Wu could have its capital in Nanyang.

"Zixu, what do you think?"

Qingji decided to ask Wu Zixu for his opinion.

After Wu Zixu pondered for a while, he bowed to Qingji and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to move the capital rashly."

"My country of Wu moved its capital to Jinling, but it will only take a few years to move the capital again. I'm afraid it will take time and effort. Besides, from the perspective of ministers, Wandi has no kingly spirit and cannot carry the destiny of our country of Wu!"

Hearing this, Fan Li immediately became unhappy.

"Humph!"

Fan Li flicked his sleeves and said, "Wu Zixu, what you said is absurd!"

"Wandi is the origin of my Huaxia people. In the past, Dayu and subsequent generations of Xia kings all made their capitals there. Why do you have no royal spirit there?"
