Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

"Wu Zixu is right."

Qing Ji said slowly: "The existence of a chariot is like a chicken rib, it's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away."

"Fan Li, Zeng Dian."

"Chen is here!"

Fan Li, the official censor who was named by Qingji, and Zhi Su Neishi Zeng Dian stood up quickly.

"The two of you are responsible for dismantling and selling the existing chariots. The number of chariots in my country of Wu can be maintained at about [-]."

"promise!"

To make such a decision, Qingji was deliberate.

After all, "one size fits all" for Wu's huge chariot team may cause quite a problem.

The dismantled chariots can be sold to other vassal states, and even some scholars who study abroad can also buy them.

Scholars who travel around the world are very keen on chariots as a means of transportation. In the market, there is often a price but no market...

"Your Majesty, I think I can further form more iron cavalry."

Wu Zixu said: "My great Wu wants to wipe out all the countries and rule the world, and the iron cavalry must be the first."

"The landforms of the northern countries are mostly plains, with few mountains. If there are [-] cavalry, our country of Wu will be able to conquer the world and conquer the world!"

Fifty thousand cavalry?
It is no small matter to build so many cavalry.

"inappropriate."

Dazai Jiran retorted: "The cost of chariots is expensive, but the cost of cavalry is not low. Especially horses!"

"Not all horses can be used as war horses."

"Although there are many horse farms in my country of Wu, there are too few good horses that can be cultivated, and most of them are poor horses. Sanchuan County and Chang'an County are considered to be important places for horse production in the country of Wu. They just want to build [-] cavalry. How many good horses do you need?"

"Please consider it carefully, Your Majesty."

"..."

Qingji couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Not to mention the armor of the war horse, it is still a small matter for Wu Guo.

However, the number of these good horses really made Qingji a little tricky.

Fifty thousand iron cavalry is not simply one man and one horse.

A cavalryman, including harness, luggage, and carry-on baggage, weighs more than 200 catties. For a horse, it can be said that carrying people is far from not carrying people.

Really exhausted!

Then how to fight?

Therefore, regular cavalry is equipped with one man, two horses or even three horses when marching continuously, so that the horses have a buffer time.

That is to say, one man with many horses is for continuous marching and protection of combat tools.

However, whether it is cavalry or war horses, if you feel unwell and fight immediately after marching, you must eat, drink, and rest well. Each cavalry can ride on the best horse for battle, and leave the rest behind.

Of course, that's ideal.

It is not easy for one man to equip two horses for the cavalry unit of Wu State, because war horses are different from ordinary horses, they are expensive and not easy to maintain...

It is not easy to train an excellent cavalryman and an excellent war horse.

Qingji now wants to build an army of 5 cavalry, and he must buy good horses from the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong, or the Kingdom of Zhongshan and Yan.

It's just that all the countries in the world have seen the strength of the cavalry through the Battle of Weishui, and made stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes accordingly.

How could they be willing to sell good horses casually?

Now, the price of a horse in the market is also very expensive.

Unless Qingji can spare no expense to build cavalry, it will never be successful.

"Your Majesty."

The censor Fan Li said: "I believe that we should not rush to form such a huge iron cavalry regiment."

"Now our country of Wu is restoring the people's livelihood, and when war is turned into military force, there is no war at home or abroad. Therefore, 5 cavalry can be increased year by year, and there is no need to form [-] cavalry at once."

"good."

Qingji thought for a while, and it was indeed the case.

Thanks to the precautionary measures before the celebration of the death, when the six families were divided into Jin Dynasty, they searched for thousands of good horses, and bought thousands of good horses from Yan and Zhongshan at a low price.

After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the number of war horses in Wu State ranked first even more.

Now, in the whole world, no country has more than [-] war horses!

Even in the countries of Zhao, Yan, and Zhongshan, there are only a few thousand cavalry now...

In terms of cavalry, Wu Guo also has a crushing advantage.

As for the future, Wu Guo has cultivated many horse farms for more than ten years, and those horse herdsmen, are they just eating dry food?

In terms of background, the state of Wu is already worthy of the northern countries. After all, the land of the old Qin and the territory of the eight countries of Xirong can be used as a horse-producing area by the state of Wu.

Qingji looked around for a week, looked at Ji Ran, Fan Li, Wen Zhong and other ministers present here, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, there is one more matter, I intend to discuss with you."

"..."

Seeing this, all the ministers present couldn't help but look at each other with serious expressions on their faces.

I don't know how long it has been, but I haven't seen Qing Ji look so cautious.

Therefore, the officials guessed that what Qingji planned to discuss with them must be related to the future direction of Wu.

Is it a new round of political reform?

You must know that the reform cannot be carried out casually. At the slightest, it will hurt the muscles and bones, and at the worst, it will lead the country astray, or even fall into a situation of eternal doom!

Just when all the ministers were feeling uneasy, Qingji said seriously, "My widow, I want to move the capital to Yong."

"what?"

Sure enough, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

As soon as Qingji's words fell, the ministers present couldn't help but change color, looking incredible.

Even people like Fan Li and Sun Wu, who have the talents of the world and the earth, who are considered to be conscientious, never thought that Qingji would choose to move the capital at this time.

In fact, in the early years, the king and ministers of the state of Wu had the idea of ​​moving the capital.

For example, Fan Li proposed to move the capital to Wan and Shen areas in Nanyang County, so that the state of Wu could take control of the Central Plains and compete for supremacy in the world.

For example, Prince Heng, Gongzixi and others advocated moving the capital to Ying after Wu State destroyed Chu in the past, so that Wu State could better digest the Chu people and promote the integration of Wu and Chu without separating each other.

However, whether it was moving the capital to Shen, Wan, or moving the capital to Ying, they were all rejected by Qingji.

Because of the situation at that time, the frequent relocation of the capital of Wu State was never allowed.

As the capital of Wu State, Jinling has been established from scratch for more than ten years. It has carried the national destiny of Wu State and is prosperous.

Do not move the capital easily.

Furthermore, Jinling was originally the homeland of Wu State, the place where Wang Qi was located, surrounded by mountains and rivers, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the transportation is also very convenient.

After more than ten years of rapid development, Jinling has become the world's leading metropolis, the political center, military center, economic center, and cultural center of Wu State.

With the current status of Wu State, it is not an easy task to move the capital, and there are too many interests involved in it...

"Why does Your Majesty have the idea of ​​moving the capital, and it is still located in Yongcheng in Chang'an County?"

Ji Ran asked rather puzzled.

As the capital of a big country, Jinling still has certain limitations. After all, it is located in the southeast corner. In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient.Yongzhou is more western, but it also shows the determination of the protagonist.
