Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Qingji's requirement for Shangjun and Longxi County is only to be self-sufficient, and to cultivate a large number of excellent war horses for Wu, that's all.

The current state of Wu has a vast land and abundant resources, and there is no shortage of places that are rich in fish, salt, copper, iron, and silk.

If the enclosure of Wu State is used as a racecourse, the two counties in the northwest are undoubtedly very ideal locations.

"Type of language."

"Chen is here!"

"Approximately how many people are there among the monarchs and nobles of the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong and their families?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the ministers have already made overall arrangements. There are no less than 500 monarchs, nobles and their families of the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong!"

"Move them all to Jinling and Yingdu to settle down and settle down properly. You are fully responsible for this matter."

"promise!"

Wen Zhong immediately agreed.

Both Jinling and Yingdu belong to the capital city of Wu State, a rich land.

The aristocrats of these Xirong countries were moved there to settle down and settle down. The purpose of celebrating the taboo was just to let the Rongdi on the grassland keep their own place and not cause more troubles.

By this time, there is actually no need for the State of Wu to move a large number of people to the Shangjun and Longxi counties to cultivate and guard the border.

Why?

No need!
Relying on the influence of the capital Xianyang, Qingji can guarantee that the various tribes of Xirong will not dare to rebel and will not rebel when there are no leaders.

Even if they really rebelled, Qingji could send troops to suppress them as quickly as possible.

After the addition of Shangjun and Longxi counties, the state of Wu now has 26 counties, namely: Wujun, Kuaiji, Jiujiang, Sishui, Minzhong, Lujiang, Cangwu, Nanhai, Xiang County, Guilin County, Nan County, Nanyang County, Yuzhang County, Qianzhong County, Dian County, Jiaozhi County, Hanzhong County, Hengshan County, Wuling County, Sanchuan County, Huaishui County, Ba County, Shu County, Chang'an County, Shang County , Longxi County.

The vast territory and population of Wu State are already unimaginable.

Population alone, according to the latest census data.

The population of Wu State has exceeded 600 million, showing a blowout growth.

This does not include the millions of Kunlun slaves, as well as the population of Shang County and Longxi County...

"Tian Rangju."

"Chen is here!"

"You are in charge of going to Shang County and Longxi County to survey the environment and paddle the horses. You must find a suitable place to raise the horses."

"promise!"

"Kong Qiu, Zeng Dian."

"Chen is here!"

"The two of you are responsible for surveying the terrain in Shangjun and Longxi County, and building cities. At least within a hundred miles, there must be a city, not to mention the size, the city must be built."

Qing Ji said slowly: "In addition, Li Shu of Shang County and Longxi County will be exempted from tax and corvee for three years!"

"promise!"

The construction work of the city must not be sloppy.

Shang County and Longxi County were originally the territory of the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is flat.

Just like Yiqu, Yiqu and the Zhou clan got along very well in the past.

And Gui Fang (猃狁) was opposed to Shang and Zhou, so after each war, Gui Fang failed and fled to Hetao, and Yi Qu took the opportunity to move inland.

In this way, Yiqu gradually occupied the Dayuan area of ​​Longdong.

The land is fertile and the water and grass are luxuriant, so that the animal husbandry of the Yiqu people has developed unprecedentedly, and the population of Yiqu has also increased greatly, and they have settled down from a nomadic state.

They lived together with the descendants of the local Zhou people, learned farming techniques, learned the culture of the Zhou people, and imitated the Zhou people to build cities and villages, thus developing into the Yiqu people, which is different from other Qiang Rong.

However, this city is very few after all.

In the Central Plains country, there is basically a city within a radius of fifty miles.

But the west frontier of Wu State is different.

The existence of cities can not only promote the ethnic integration of Wu people and Yiqu people to the greatest extent, but also reduce unnecessary troubles.

For example, the original Yiqu people could settle down in the city and live a small life, how could they rebel and betray Wu?
What Qingji has to do is to rely on Wu's strong national power as much as possible, to show kindness to Rong and Di, and let them and Wu belong to one family, regardless of each other.

In other words, Shang County and Longxi County in Wu State are roughly modern Gansu, Ningxia, and a small part of Qinghai.

……

The time has entered the 27th year of Wu Wang Qingji, that is, 487 BC, the first month.

When the State of Wu sent troops to annex the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong, an unprecedented civil strife broke out in the State of Zheng far away in the Central Plains.

Zheng Guo's Yangziju reform has greatly touched the interests of the old family. Therefore, Dr. Zheng Guoqing, headed by "Qi Mu", sent assassins to assassinate Yangziju.

The assassination was unsuccessful, but Zheng Boji Sheng was furious.

Ji Sheng took this opportunity to deprive a group of old families of their fiefs and titles, intending to demote them to common people.

At this time, the unbearable old family finally broke out. Under the banner of the Qing emperor, they organized private soldiers to attack Xinzheng.

With the help of Yang Ziju, Ji Sheng calmly commanded the army to put out the rebellion.

However, the feudal rulers and eunuchs from all over the country have separated one side and demanded that Ji Sheng execute Yang Ziju and restore the ancestral system.

In a rage, Ji Sheng sent troops to attack the rebellious Fengjun Yishou.

Originally, this was just a civil war in the state of Zheng. With the achievements of Yangziju's reform, the new army trained was enough to suppress the rebellion.

It's just that Zheng Guo was in the fourth war. When he learned that Zheng Guo was in a civil war, and Qi Mu and other old families asked him for help, South Korea joined the war without hesitation.

With South Korea's participation in the war, both Zhao Guo and Wei Guo, who were in the same spirit as South Korea, joined the war one after another, forming a three-Jin coalition force of 25 people to attack Zheng in a mighty manner.

The royal family of Zhou and the state of Zheng felt that their lips were dead and their teeth were cold. They not only sent troops to help each other, but also sent Chang Hong as an envoy to Xianyang without stopping to ask for help from the state of Wu.

"Second and third sons, do you think that my country of Wu should send troops to rescue Zheng?"

At this time, in the Chongzheng Hall, after looking around for a week, Qingji asked a group of ministers and officials.

As the great Sima, Wu Zixu stood up first, bowed to Qingji and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is imperative to save Zheng!"

"Not to mention that Zheng State is an ally of our Wu State, the 25 troops of the Three-Jin Allied Forces are so powerful that they are obviously rushing to destroy Zheng and carve up Zheng's land."

"If the state of Zheng is destroyed, the power of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Jin will increase greatly, and they will be close to the land of the king of Zhou, threatening the Weihan of Wu."

"Therefore, please lead your army to rescue Zheng!"

Hearing this, Qingji just narrowed his eyes and didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, I think it's wrong!"

Dazai Jiran retorted: "Fighting wars every now and then wastes people's money. Moreover, Zheng's national power has greatly increased after the Yangziju reform. It may not be easy for the Allied Forces of the Three Jin Dynasties to destroy Zheng."

"In my opinion, the most important thing for the coalition forces of the Three Jin Dynasties is to coerce Zheng Bo to give up the reform, execute Yang Ziju, and cede a few cities along the way. Destroying Zheng... is really unnecessary."

"Ha ha."

Wu Zixu sneered and said, "The Dazai's words are wrong."

"How can an army of 25 people be just a small fight? With Yang Ziju's reform, Zheng Guoyi became stronger. However, Zheng Bozhong has rebelled against his relatives and is unpopular among the old aristocrats."

"Under domestic and foreign coercion, Zheng Guo's collapse is also reasonable!"
