Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 936
"Your Majesty, I think that this time, our country of Wu has obtained a total of 39 cities from Qi, Song, Lu, and Wei, and we can add two more counties!"

Hearing Bo Tong's proposition, Qingji couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

According to Qingji's original practice, if it is still uncertain, Wu can always occupy that place, and basically will not set up counties for direct governance.

However, the following countries no longer have the strength to compete with Wu, and they probably dare not send troops to occupy the land belonging to Wu, so they can only linger on.

That being the case, why should Qingji have so many worries?
Even so, the cities and lands Wu obtained from Qi, Song, Lu, and Wei this time were still too scattered.

After some deliberation, Qingji finally made a decision.

"Pengcheng, Xiao, Lu, Youqiu, and the old land of Chen are merged into Sishui County."

"The seven cities of Chaoge, Wulu, Tong, and Maoqiu were merged into Qinghe County."

"The fifteen cities of Chongqiu, Yiyi, Huang, Liao, Tang, and Qing ceded by Qi State, and the seven cities of Xuju, Xianqiu, and Taoqiu ceded by Lu State, are combined into one, set' Jibei County'!"

After a pause, Qingji put his eyes on Young Master Hong, and said, "Wu Hong, you will be the governor of Jibei County!"

"My son takes orders!"

That's it?

Young Master Hong was still a little guilty.

After all, his two younger brothers, son Zhang and son Xi, both hold heavy soldiers and have been added the title of governor of the capital, with high positions and weight.

As for Gong Zihong who "has almost nothing", can a real county guard, with just a few county soldiers, be able to stop the attacks of various countries at a critical moment?
You know, Jibei County in Wu State is a county that borders Qi State, Lu State, Wei State, and Zhongshan State.

If there is no heavy guard, how can it survive?

Qingji seemed to understand Young Master Hong's concerns, so he said slowly: "Wu Hong, I will give you a Shangfang sword, which can be cut first and played later, and has the right to control the military forces of Jibei County and the three counties of Hebei."

"promise!"

Only then did Gong Zihong gladly accept the order.

According to Qing Ji's statement, if Young Master Zhang and Young Master Xi were not convinced, they would not send troops to help Young Master Hong at the critical moment.

Young Master Hong can draw his sword and hack them to death, and then seize the military power...

Of course, with Gong Zihong's character, he would never do such a deviant thing.

Shangfang's sword originally has the important meaning of "like a widow coming in person".

At this time, after the addition of Jibei County and the three counties of Hebei, the State of Wu already had a total of 33 counties, namely: Wu County, Kuaiji County, Jiujiang County, Sishui County, Minzhong County, Lujiang County, Cangwu County, and Nanhai County. County, 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, Hedong County, Yingchuan County, Shangdang County, Jibei County, Qinghe County, Hengshan County, Taiyuan County.

In terms of population, Qing Ji conservatively estimated that it should exceed 500 million people.

After all, in the last national census, the population of Wu State was: about 160 million households, [-] million people!
Now the land of the old Zhao (the three counties of Hebei) and the 39 cities that Qi, Lu, Song, and Wei were forced to cede have been added, and it is reasonable to increase the population of Wu State by 400 million.

Because of the war, only the number of mouths has dropped sharply, but the old and weak, women and children can still live well.

"My lord, in recent days, the Han and Wei countries have sent envoys to Xianyang. They all want to respect the king as the 'Emperor', titled 'Wu Di', and ask the king to be called the Son of Heaven to replace the Zhou family and become the co-lord of the world, so that Order the lords, the king will come to the world!"

Dazai Jiran said with a somewhat excited expression.

Hearing this, Qingji just smiled lightly and said, "Emperor? What does the title of emperor have to do with me? I heard that Lord Han and Lord Wei wanted to be kings like the Eastern kingdoms, but it was because of the inconvenience of me. Because of Da Wu, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

"Let the widow Yuji become the emperor, so they can also become the king?"

Qingji just saw the careful thought of the monarchs of Han and Wei.

South Korea and Wei Guo are too close to Wu Guo to dare to be arrogant, which is normal.

Seeing that Wei, Yan, Song and other princes who were originally on the same starting line have become kings one by one, and he is still a viscount canonized by the Son of Zhou, how can this make sense?

Jealousy is beyond recognition.

When the Five Kingdoms were kings, Han and Wei also wanted to join in and sent troops to attack Wu together, but Wu's heavy troops were stationed on the border all the time.

Even when the Great War broke out in the Central Plains, the Wu troops stationed in Hedong and Yingchuan did not move, which made the two countries dare not act rashly.

Today, the Wu army stationed at the border has withdrawn, which relieved the two countries of Korea and Wei.

However, now Wu Guo wants to attack Han and Wei, and even destroy Han and Wei, but it is a matter of time.

It's not that Qingji looks down on Han and Wei, but it's because the two countries are tied together, and it's not enough for Wu to fight.

King?

Why do Han and Wei dare to be kings?
Such things as fame and status have been coveted throughout the ages.

Build walls high, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.

This is a very clever strategy.

The first two items are not difficult to do, and the last item, "slowly becoming king", is often the most difficult.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, people around him persuaded him one by one, and all the heroes around him became kings one after another, even proclaiming themselves emperors.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not be envious that the leaders of the Anti-Yuan Rebel Army who were less powerful than himself dared to become kings?
How can you not be moved?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang held back.

But now, facing the temptation of Yuji proclaiming himself emperor and changing the dynasty, can Qingji handle it?
Vaguely, Qingji's heart was also restless.

That is the position of the co-lord of the world!

It is true that the difference between the master of the world and the co-lord of the world is two completely different positions.

However, with Qingji's literary and martial arts and Wu's strong national power, if he wants to become emperor, who would dare to object?

Who can stop it?

The royal family of Zhou had already existed in name only, and Qingji even wanted to use Emperor Zhou, but he had already seen that he was useless.

"What do the second and third sons think?"

At this time, seeing Qing Ji who was relieved, the minds of the officials and officials in the court suddenly became active.

If Qingji proclaimed himself emperor, he would be the co-lord of the world, replacing the Zhou royal family, and turning Wu from a vassal state into a dynasty like Xia, Shang, and Zhou!

This is a huge achievement!

As Qingji's favored subject, Bo Tong immediately put on a flattering expression, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I think that Zhou De is gone, the destiny is in Wu, and the destiny of the king belongs to it. "

"My minister agrees!"

Da Xing ordered Yang Hu to agree: "Your Majesty's literary and martial arts, although Qi Huan and Jin Wen, can't be compared, Cheng Tang and Zhou Wu are a little less coquettish."

"Your Majesty surpasses the Three Emperors in meritorious deeds, surpasses the Five Emperors in virtue, and the honorary title 'Emperor Wu' is the most appropriate!"
