A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 126
The news of Wang Jin's assassination spread throughout Gusu. In this era, the king must humiliate his ministers to death, and at the same time, the king must treat his countrymen with courtesy.The Huai State Office has treated the people of Huai State well over the years.

Especially in the construction of water conservancy, the cultivation and livelihood of the people, the non-expropriation of hard labor, the light payment and the low tax, the people of Huai State are very supportive of the government office.Therefore, after Zhuan Zhu assassinated Wang Jin, it can be said that the crowd was excited.

Fortunately, the monarch was protected by his ancestors, and he was not injured after wearing the inner armor. The people of Wu came to the military camp one after another to serve the monarch and crusade against Yue.However, they were all persuaded by Wang Jin to go back. The current army of the Yue Kingdom is enough for this conquest.

After the assassin was dealt with, Wang Jin returned to the inner room, and was relieved. At the moment of Zhuan Zhu's assassination, Wang Jin was cold all over. In an instant, a force blocked the dagger.

Only then did Wang Jin react, and cut off his arm with a sword.

At this time, he suddenly reacted and lifted his clothes, wanting to see what happened just now, but there was a soft 'clang', and the jade pendant worn on his body since childhood broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Seeing this jade pendant, Wang Jin suddenly thought of what his father had told him.Every son of the Wang family who is born will have a jade pendant exclusive to him, which is a gift from the ancestors, and the jade pendant will not be lost or taken away.

Wearing this jade pendant is blessed by the ancestors, and when in danger, it can resist a fatal attack.

Thinking about Zhuan Zhu's blow, it was the jade pendant bestowed by his ancestors that saved his life.And this jade pendant also fulfilled its mission and passed away.

Seeing that the jade pendant was damaged, Wang Jin was very angry, but unfortunately the jade pendant could never come back.Order someone to fetch a lacquer box, carefully pack the jade pendant and store it away.Since the son-in-law of the public office has this jade pendant, the jade pendant will be buried with the body after his death.

The tombs of the Huai state are not luxurious. They believe that they will go to the heaven where their ancestors live after death. They don’t need worldly things. Therefore, the tombs of the Huai state only include jade stones or some records of their life achievements. bronze tripod or bronze gui.

Now that the jade pendant is damaged, how can Wang Jin not be angry.

Originally, the Huai country was a little guilty of conquest of the Yue country, but now that the Zhuan Zhu assassin Wang Jin is in place, the Huai country has the legitimacy to conquer the Yue country.After resting in Gusu, Wang Jin decisively ordered the army to go out and attack Yue.

This time the assassination had many benefits. Apart from being harmless in name, it also obtained the military defense map of the Yue Kingdom.Although they had received a map of the Yue Kingdom before, they did not have a military deployment map. This time, the Yue Kingdom specially handed over the military deployment map to Zhuan Zhu in order to gain Wang Jin's attention.

As a result, the assassination failed, and the military deployment map fell into Wang Jin's hands.

After the assassination incident, Wang Jin was furious, and the army quickly rushed to the Yue Kingdom. Although he got the military defense map, after learning that the plan failed, the Yue Kingdom must make some changes to the defense map.

It's just that this military defense map can't be changed if you want to. Once it can't be changed and loopholes are left, it's better not to change it. Wang Jin's purpose is to prevent them from making changes in time, or making mistakes in a panic.

War is originally a comparison between the two sides to see who makes mistakes, or makes fewer mistakes.

The army of Huai State soon came to the border of Yue State. There were not many Yue State defenders stationed here, and they were already familiar with the Huai State caravan.Several towns on the border did not provide any resistance at all.

What's more, the nobles and nobles of the Yue Kingdom have been extorting violently over the years, and the people have suffered so much that they are unwilling to fight at all. As a result, the army of the Huai Kingdom climbed to the top of the city with only one charge, and then a large number of soldiers and civilians surrendered directly.

Many people even took Huai soldiers to arrest the nobles in the city.

In addition, Wang Jin ordered the army not to plunder, not to rape women, not to oppress the people, and sent Habayashi guards to maintain order. After the city was broken, the people in the city did not commit any crimes. grain.

After seeing this situation, the people of Yue State became more convinced of Huai State and bowed to the ground one after another.Some people of Yue State volunteered to be the guides of the Huai State Army and helped the Huai State Army transport food and grass.

When the Huai country went abroad to fight, it actually experienced the same treatment as fighting in the country.

Wang Jin specially ordered that anyone who came to help the Huai army, and all the Yue people who came to help the Huai army, would be given money or food, and those who sent wine, meat, fish, shrimp and laborers would also be charged a price higher than the market price.

What was the level of the country originally?Although Marquis Yue is not considered stupid, and even has the appearance of a wise master, it depends on who you are comparing with.The Yue State's ability to govern, at best, does not harm the people, and there must be a lot of taxes and corvees, not to mention the fact that the Huai State caravans have been purchased for more than ten years, which has caused the oppression of officials.

The Huai Kingdom has done many times to appease the people, and has sufficient experience. Every monarch who conquered another country will leave his own governance experience, plus the books left by Zijue.

Wang Jin was very familiar with how to appease the people, so the people of Yue Kingdom felt for the first time what it means to be a master of the king.

Wang Jin just used the three tricks to appease the people, and the people of Yue Kingdom would eat pots of milk to welcome Wang Shi.

Next, the army of the Huai State continued to advance with the help of the people of the Yue State. These people spontaneously rushed to tell each other, so wherever they went, the people of the Yue State came to help.

After losing the base of the people, the defense of the Yue State was nothing more than local chickens and dog ears. Under the Huai State's elite attack, it was quickly defeated.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and sympathetic to the soldiers and the people. People in the Yue Kingdom know it all. You are a benevolent king, but Yunchang is a villain who betrays his trust, plots to rebel, and oppresses the people. If the people don't choose to support you, how can they still support Yunchang?" Can anyone do such a stupid thing?" Huaiguo Shangqing Gongyang said.

The whole country of Yue saw that Huai country was not in this quagmire as they imagined.Instead, a large number of Yue people rushed to help Huai, which made Yue Hou Yunchang very angry and felt that he had been betrayed.

"Why do those common people help the Huai people?" Yun Chang roared angrily in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Huai army will always buy people's hearts. They use food, salt, and money to buy people's hearts. The people are short-sighted, and they will naturally attack them if they have interests!" The beast, the thing about cutting down the giant tree, pushed the responsibility completely away.

"Order to prohibit the people from leaving the city! Those who dare to join the Huai army will be punished as slaves!" Yun Chang immediately ordered.

However, this order was passed on, not only did not prohibit it, but caused a large number of people to flee to the Huai army, the Huai army became stronger, and the Yue State became weaker.

In the 24th year of Duke Zhuang Xiang, Yun Chang rebelled against Huai and fled back to Yue, and Duke Zhuang Xiang attacked Yue.The Marquis of Yue dispatched all the assassins, King Jin, who offered pictures and saw them. He took the pictures and presented them, but the pictures were poor and the daggers were seen. Duke Zhuang Xiang didn't investigate. He was stabbed, but fortunately he was protected by the inner armor.

Zhuan Zhu was amazed, Zhuang Xianggong drew his sword and cut off his arm, Zhuan Zhu was useless, and the guards captured him, Zhuan Zhu shouted, "Seeing a small man, why should he lose his inner armor?"

"Today there is a white rainbow piercing the sun, but it was stabbed in the atrium!" —— "Historical Records·Biography of Assassins·Zhu Zhu Wang Jin"
