Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 655
Why does Qingji insist on participating in the Central Plains War?

Because Qingji knew that after this scuffle in the Central Plains, the right time, place and people would be on Zhao Yang's side.

After the death of Zhiwenzi Xun Bi, Zhengqing of the Jin State, his deputy, Zhao Yang, relied on his lofty status in the army, and succeeded Xun Li as the new ruling of the Jin State with an overwhelming advantage. The political structure of "the clan governs outside".

Since then, Zhao Yang has cultivated both internally and externally, completely concentrated military, political, diplomatic, judicial and many other national powers in one person, and became the third official minister of the Zhao family of Jin State after Zhao Dun and Zhao Wu!
Zhao's name is Jinqing, and he really specializes in Jin power!
Beginning in 493 BC, Zhao Yang began to rule the Jin State for 17 years.

Zhao Yang's ruling is the inevitable result of the development of Jin's Shiqing system, and of course it is also due to the short life of the former consul Zhixuan.

Xun Li's successor, Xun Shen, is a mediocre but stubborn heiqing. There is a big gap between his ability and qualifications and his father's, and his vitality is average.

And Han Buxin and Wei Lu are destined not to have too much friction with Zhao Yang, and Zhao Yang's dictatorship will come naturally...

This is absolutely intolerable to Qingji.

Because Zhao Yang is a hero of a generation, his mind and resourcefulness are far from what the former Jin Guo Zhengqing Xun Li, Shi Yang, and Wei Shu can compare.

Under Zhao Yang's administration, the state of Jin must restore its hegemony and increase the blockade of the state of Wu in the south!
How could Qingji not be afraid of this?

However, if it confronts the state of Jin head-on, the state of Wu will not be able to beat it at all...

Qingji had to admit this cruel fact.

The state of Wu has not been rising for many years, and it is equivalent to a nouveau riche. Even if it has abundant financial resources and a sharp military revolution, how can it compete with the powerful and powerful Jin state?
Historically, until 403 BC King Weilie of Zhou ordered Han Qian, Zhao Ji, and Wei Si to be princes.

The state of Jin still exists.

Could it be that Qingji should wait for more than [-] years?

No.

Zhao Yang has about 20 years to live, but Qingji is confident that he can beat Zhao Yang to death.

It's just that Zhao Wuxie and Zhiyao, who are rising stars in the future, are not good at...

Furthermore, how could Qingji wait 20 years?

"Hong'er, Heng'er, you all step back."

"My son retire!"

After Young Master Heng and Young Master Hong left, Qing Ji was the only one left in the huge Zi De Hall, sitting there, lost in thought.

Participating in the melee in the Central Plains and fighting for hegemony with the Jin State is undoubtedly an extra risk for the Wu State, which has just risen and become the overlord.

However, can Wu Guo afford to lose?
Do not!
Wu Guo can afford to lose!
It's just that once it loses, the state of Wu will face crusades from the countries of the Central Plains headed by the state of Jin, and then they will be chased and intercepted at various times.

Such a result would obviously not satisfy Qingji.

20 years is too long, the widows only fight for the day and night!

Thinking of this, Qingji's gaze gradually became resolute.

He had to wait for a suitable opportunity to lead Wu's elite soldiers and strong generals to participate in the melee in the Central Plains, win the battle, and dismember the behemoth of Jin!
……

It was November, cold and windy, and covered in snow.

Looking around, there is a white world everywhere.

Accompanied by the new wind, the fine snow drifts down from the sky, embellishing the beautiful rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River...

Even in the south, it has rarely snowed heavily.

It's just that the severe cold weather is not comparable to the "thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting" scene in the north.

The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is mild and pleasant, but it is also a scene of falling ice crystals.

At this time, in Shanglin Garden outside Jinling City, a group of monarchs and ministers of Wu State were holding a grand hunting activity.

To be precise, it is "Winter Hunting"!
Hunting is one of the earliest living skills that humans mastered. With the development of human civilization, hunting has gradually acquired the multiple natures of entertainment, military, and sports, and has become a collective activity for practicing martial arts, strengthening the body, invigorating the spirit, and seeking harvest. Sexual movement.

"Zhou Li" records the king's four seasons of field hunting, which are called Chunsou, Xiamiao, Qiushou, and Dongshou respectively.

In this era, hunting is a military ceremony, a comprehensive exercise for training.

"woo woo woo woo--"

The sound of the horn full of murderous aura sounded, and under the attention of all the people, Qingji slowly got off his chariot of the Six Kings.

In order to realize the dignity of Qingji's status, when Qingji got out of the car, an eunuch had to kneel on the ground to make it easy for him.

From Qingji's point of view, this is a degrading thing, but the eunuchs are all proud of it.

Not only the eunuchs, but the dog legs like Goujian are not necessarily ashamed...

"Wannian, Great King! Wannian, Great Wu!"

After Qingji got out of the chariot of the six emperors, the officials who had been waiting here for a long time, as well as thousands of Wu Jun soldiers, all shouted out in unison, declaring their love for the king.

This is a grand hunting event. All officials and officials with a rank of more than six hundred shi in the court must participate, and their families must also participate.

Qingji has already clearly stipulated that all the children of the nobles, after being crowned, have no other affairs, and those who live in the capital must participate in hunting, so as to strengthen their health...

Of course, the ultimate goal of hunting is to keep Wu's admiration for martial arts unabated.

Whether it is the children of the royal family or the descendants of ordinary nobles, they must participate in the hunt.

Facing the cold wind, Qingji was wearing a black samurai uniform, with a jade belt around his waist, a Longyuan sword pinned to his waist, a purple gold crown for his hair, and a fox fur coat on his body, which played an extremely warm role. The effect of...

It is conceivable that even the king of a country like Qingji will be hunted.

As King Wu, Qingji must set an example.

Hunting is also one of Qingji's great pleasures now, second only to fishing and chess.

"Wannian, Great King! Wannian, Great Wu!"

Amidst the mountains and tsunami, Qingji stepped onto Sifangtai in stride.

Holding the Longyuan sword in one hand, Qingji looked around and looked at the officials and officials under the Sifangtai, as well as the soldiers in strong and sharp clothes. For Xia Miao, enjoy it."

"When governing soldiers in autumn, they use sacrifices. When hunting in winter, they use them to enjoy steam."

"The ancient emperors searched for seedlings in summer in spring, and hunted in autumn and winter: they went out to the suburbs at four o'clock to show their power to the world."

"At a time when the world is in turmoil, it is time to use field hunting to teach martial arts!"

After a pause, Qingji smiled slightly and said, "Since I inherited the throne and came to the Kingdom of Wu, I have held many hunts, and I will start all of them!"

"This winter hunting is different!"

"I take this opportunity to review the three armies, and let the princes start the hunt!"

Upon hearing this, all the officials present expressed no objection.

"Follow the king's orders!"
