Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 614 The people who moved to Chu

The people who moved to Chu land were in the nine counties in the south and southwest of Wu State?

In Qingji's view, this is too dangerous.

Not to mention whether the Pu people, Dian people, Ailao people, Baiyue people and other foreign races in Lingnan and southwest can absorb hundreds of thousands of Chu people. If they are too far away from the mainland of Wu, once a rebellion occurs.

With the situation beyond the reach of the whip, Wu Guo had to pay a huge price to successfully suppress the rebellion.

In this way, it is inevitable that some losses outweigh the gains.

Qingji really wanted to vigorously develop the south, but he wouldn't do it at the expense of his own vitality.

Before that, Qingji had forcibly relocated [-] households of Dian, Baipu, and Ailao people from the three southwestern counties, as well as Luoyue people in the south of Lingnan, and more than [-] people to settle in Wu County.

For so many years, due to the strong deterrence of Wu Jun, it is safe and sound.

Now that Chu State has been annexed and the celebration of the unification of the south has been completed, they don't just want to make small troubles on this one-third of an acre of land in the south.

The six counties in the south of the Lingnan and the three counties in the southwest, what are those places?
Almost deserted!
barren land!

It was not until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that the south was vigorously developed.

And until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Lingnan and Southwest areas were still a major option for exiled prisoners...

It is conceivable that it took more than a thousand years for the successive dynasties in history to develop the Southwest and Lingnan, how difficult it is.

Therefore, not to mention the generation that celebrates Ji, even dozens of generations and hundreds of years of spare no effort in development may not turn the three southwestern counties and the six Lingnan counties into a piece of fertile soil...

As a result, in Qing Ji's view, it is not advisable to relocate hundreds of thousands of Li Shu from Chu to the south.

"Father, my son thinks that the remnants of the old Chu land should not be moved..."

At this time, Gong Ziheng, who didn't want Gong Zixi to be prettier in front of others, immediately stood up and bowed to Qing Ji.

"If the survivors of Chu land rebelled, what should I do?"

Qingji took a deep look at Young Master Heng.

How many people are there in the hinterland of Chu State?

More than 100 million!
The reason why Qingji and others said "hundreds of thousands" is that the land of Chu includes the original lands of Lu, Yong, E, Deng, and Yan, and they may not necessarily have a heart for Chu.

The hinterland of the state of Chu is thousands of miles away from the mainland of the state of Wu.

Prince Heng replied: "Father, my son has a countermeasure to make the survivors of Chu land dare not rebel, and can make them return to their hearts!"

"What is the countermeasure?"

Qingji squinted his eyes and asked.

"..."

Young Master Heng opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, as if he was afraid of Qingji's punishment.

However, Young Master Heng still lowered his head in the end, and said in a deep voice: "Father, my son dares to ask Father to move the capital to Ying, or move the capital to Wancheng."

"In order to stabilize Wu's rule in the south and suppress all places!"

hiss!
Gong Ziheng's proposition is really bold!

presumptuous!

Ministers such as Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Fan Li, etc., couldn't help being dumbfounded when they heard the idea of ​​Gong Ziheng.

However, they also had to admit it.

This idea of ​​Gong Ziheng is very successful.

But, it might be biased.

As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too!

The east corner is lost, and the mulberry elm is harvested.

If you give up, you will get something!
If the state of Wu moved its capital to Ying, there would be advantages and disadvantages.

Specifically, whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Even Sun Tzu and Fan Li, such great talents with foresight and savvy, are hard to say...

"inappropriate!"

Hearing Young Master Heng's idea of ​​moving the capital, before Qing Ji could speak, Young Master Xi who was standing by the side suddenly changed his face, and said to Qing Ji, "Father, what Brother Heng said is great Miao!"

"Jinling is the military, political, and economic center of Wu State. My father established Jinling as his capital for more than ten years, and Wu State flourished and achieved hegemony."

"Jinling is the land of dragon prosperity for my country of Wu, how can it be moved at will?"

"It is undeniable that Yingdu and Wancheng are indeed important towns in the world. Moving the capital of Wu Kingdom there can keep the land of the old Chu peaceful, and the country can enjoy peace forever."

"Of course, where is the foundation of my country of Wu?"

"The foundation of the Wu Kingdom lies in Jiangdong, not Jiangxi. If the capital is moved at every turn, especially from Jinling to Yingdu or Wancheng, I am afraid that the subjects of the Wu Kingdom will have objections."

"This is the foundation of the country. If we want to use the foundation of the country, we are afraid that our country of Wu will suffer from elbow and armpit disease, and it will be more dangerous in the future!"

"..."

What Gong Zixi said was not unreasonable.

In fact, this is the public saying that the public is right, and the mother-in-law is right!
Even if it's a taboo, it's hard to choose for a while.

"Father!"

Young Master Heng immediately retorted: "Jinling certainly has the aura of a king, with dragons and tigers dominating the river and Huaihe River, but it is located in a corner of the southeast."

"If Jinling is the capital all the time, I'm afraid that our Wu Kingdom's hegemony will be limited to the south, not the world!"

"The geographical location of Wancheng and Yingdu is dangerous, and they are surrounded by mountains and rivers. They are places of victorious victories. They can be attacked when they advance, and they can be defended when they retreat."

"If the capital is moved to Ying, then my country of Wu can live in the center of the country, so that straight roads, galloping roads, and even water networks and water transportation will extend in all directions, so that all counties and counties in Wu country have different opinions and dare not act rashly!"

After a pause, Young Master Heng continued: "Furthermore, Yingdu was originally the royal capital of Chu State. It has a natural palace fortress. It doesn't need Wu State to build many projects. It can be moved in after some repairs."

"If we move our capital to Wancheng, our country of Wu can go one step further and get closer to the Central Plains, unite with the princes of the Central Plains such as Song, Zheng, Lu, and Wei, and compete with Jin for hegemony, laying the foundation for Great Wu to become the world's hegemon!"

"Father, please think twice!"

Young Master Heng's foresight and sagacity are not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Moving the capital to Wancheng, or moving the capital to Ying, would be of great benefit to Wu.

It's just that there are disadvantages, and there are also many risks.

Back then, when Qingji was seeking hegemony in the Central Plains and attacked the Zhou royal family's Wangji land and Zheng State, Fan Li once persuaded Qingji to move his capital to Wancheng.

However, after weighing the pros and cons at that time, Qing Ji did not adopt Fan Li's proposition.

Now that the story is brought up again, what can I do?
You know, the general trend of the world will change.

Today's Wu State is no longer the former Wu State.

Whether it is to fight for world hegemony or to stabilize the land of the old Chu, Wu must forcefully suppress Li Shu who was originally in the hinterland of Chu.

Let them not dare to act rashly.

"My lord, I think what Mr. Heng said is very true."

Standing aside, Zhisu Neishi Fan Li bowed to Qingji and said, "Jinling, as the capital of our Wu Kingdom, has carried the great Wu's national destiny for more than ten years, which is enough!"

"Now the situation is trending, Wu's great enemy, the confidant's trouble, is Jin, not the other countries."

"That's why, I think that the king should follow Mr. Heng's suggestion and move the capital to Wancheng to consolidate the country!"

"..."

Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and Yang Hu couldn't help but take a deep look at Fan Li.
