Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 577 The major events of the country, the military and the sacrificial
"There is no need to rush the matter of the new palace."

Qing Ji put his eyes on Da Gongling Gan Jiang, and said slowly: "Guan Jiang, I want you to choose a geomantic land near Jinling and build a cemetery, a martyr's cemetery!"

"After the cemetery is completed, the bones, clothes, or spiritual tablets of the soldiers who died in battle over the years can be buried in it. In addition...a stone tablet can be erected, and the widow can write in hand!"

"Sir, obey the king's orders!"

Ganjiang bit the bullet and agreed.

It can be said that he has never been idle in this major work order.

Before the last project was completed, Qingji handed him another project.

How can it be?

It is conceivable that this martyr's cemetery is also a big project...

"Also, in the new palace, the widow wants you to build the highest platform in history, which is unparalleled and unique in the world!"

Qingji said meaningfully: "This platform should be called 'Lingyan Pavilion', to hang the portraits of all the heroes of the widow's dynasty, to highlight their achievements, and pass them on to future generations!"

"promise!"

Lingyan Pavilion?
The officials and officials who heard this could not help but shine their eyes and were very excited.

As a minister, who doesn't want his name to go down in the annals of history and be immortalized through the ages?

Qingji set up Lingyan Pavilion in order to allow his heroes to leave a name in history with him and sing for the world.

People of insight already know this.

But in Qingji's mind, there are very few heroes who are qualified to enter this Lingyan Pavilion.

There is a certain quota limit!

……

The projects of Wu State at this time are innumerable.

New Wu Palace, Martyrs Cemetery, Lingyan Pavilion, Lingnan New Road, Southwest New Road, etc., more than 30 people have participated in labor labor.

And this is far from enough.

No wonder Qingji planned to capture those natives from the islands in Southeast Asia and use them as labor labor to help Wu build bridges and pave roads and complete various projects.

For those natives, Qing Ji, who had worked so hard, would not take it to heart.

This in itself is a "dirty" thing, the accumulation of primitive capital...

As for the great construction projects in the state of Wu, the kings and ministers of the state of Chu are the most delighted to hear and see.

The people of Chu believed that large-scale construction was a harbinger of the country's subjugation, so they continued to deliver wood to Wu, so that Wu could be more active in laboring and mobilizing people to come up with various projects.

Little did he know that this matter was in Qingji's hands!

At this time of celebration, what is the purpose of building a martyr's cemetery and setting up Lingyan Pavilion?
Qing Ji just wanted to warn himself and the subjects of Wu.

Wu's war limit has basically bottomed out, and it is no longer possible to go to war and fight frequently.

At this time, what Wu Guo should do is to restore the people's livelihood as much as possible, and live with the people!
As for Qingji's large-scale civil engineering projects, it is very necessary for Wu Guo, and this is not just for Qingji's extravagance and lust.

When Qingji was preparing to keep his own place and focus on developing the people's livelihood, the Liuqing on the Jin side had already completed the division of the Gong clan's territory.

The Six Ministers began to further exert their influence, preparing to make Jin dominate the world again...

And all of this, Qingji just saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and didn't take any action.

He knew that the people of Jin would regard the state of Wu as their great enemy, and wished they could get rid of it quickly.

However, if the enemy does not move, I will not move.

Qingji didn't have any changes in what the Jin people did in the Central Plains.

However, the root of human inferiority often lies in that if you don't resist, others will think you are weak and deceitful!
No, the time has entered the fourteenth year of King Qingji of Wu, which is the second half of 500 BC.

In order to restore the hegemony of Liuqing, Jin State began to expel Wu State's power in the Central Plains.

Last year, Shi Yang died and Xun Bi came to power.

The current Six Ministers of the Jin State are Zhao Yang, Wei Lu, Han Buxin and others, and they have all completed the battle to carve up the territory of the Jin State's princes and completely emptied the power of the Jin Hou Ji Chiu.

Under the leadership of Xun Li, the Jin army first came to the land of Wang Ji of the Zhou family, and then brazenly mobilized the army to attack the state of Zheng.

Due to the strength of the Jin army, Tian Rangju had to lead his troops to withdraw from Luoyi Wangcheng, and then join forces with Fan Li of Zhengdi and the Zheng army to fight against the mighty Jin army.

The situation in the Central Plains has taken a turn for the worse, what should Wu do?
In view of this, the states of Qi, Song, Wei, and Lu in the Central Plains all asked Wu to intervene in the war in Zhengdi.

After all, Zheng Guo's suzerain is Wu Guo, so how can Qing Ji turn a deaf ear to it?

If Qing Ji really didn't care about it, it would make Zheng Ren feel chilled, and all his vassal states would feel chilled by him.

This undoubtedly put Qingji in a dilemma.

On the one hand, it is Wu's national strength that is not suitable for frequent wars, and on the other hand, it is related to its own prestige.

How can it be?

After Qingji received the battle reports from Fan Li and Tian Rangju, he summoned Grand Sima Sun Wu, Yushi Dafu Wu Zixu, Tingwei Boshuang, Dazai Jiran, and Da Xingling Confucius to Zide Hall to discuss countermeasures.

After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Qingji and the five brawny ministers couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The major events of the country lie in Rong and Si.

There is no room for sloppyness!

In case something goes wrong, no one, including Qingji, can afford it.

After some deliberation, Dazai Jiran first bowed to Qingji and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that our country of Wu should not fight so easily at this time."

"Not to mention that most of Wu's elite teachers are still stranded in the southwest area and haven't returned yet. Just because of the complicated situation in the Central Plains, it is not easy for our Wu country to get involved."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zixu frowned and said, "The Dazai's words are wrong."

"Now the Jin people are attacking Zheng, and the momentum is huge. If I, Wu, ignore it, such as Cai, Xu, Zhongwu and other vassal states, wouldn't they have doubts about the authority of Great Wu?"

"If this is the case, Wu's hegemony in the Central Plains will be lost, and I am afraid it will be difficult to go north again in the future to compete with the Jin people!"

The last time Wu was able to garrison troops in Luoyi, the Zhou royal family’s land, and made Zheng Guo surrender, in addition to Wu’s faction sending troops to the Central Plains, there was also some manipulation by Wu’s monarchs and ministers such as Qingji, Wu Zixu, and Fan Li.

To a large extent, Wu Guo was able to get involved in the Central Plains, mostly because of luck!

At that time, if Jinhou Jiwu hadn't been assassinated and died at Diaoyutai in Luoyi, how could the state of Wu have gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains?
But now, once it loses control over the Zhou royal family and the state of Zheng, how can the state of Wu have much say in the Central Plains?
"Humph!"

Ji Ran snorted coldly and said: "Doctor Yu Shi, how can you be so light and light when you fight every now and then?"

"The war in Lingnan and Southwest has just ended less than half a year ago, and now we are going north to fight again, how can our country of Wu survive?"

"If the army is recruited again, isn't it just fishing for money?"

"The division of the Jin people is a powerful army in the world. In terms of combat power, it is comparable to the elite of our country Wu."

"If you can't win, I'm afraid it's not just a matter of the loss of the king's prestige. Wu Guo's elite troops are gone. Under the collapse of the nest, how can there be any eggs?"
