A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 161 Rewarding the Three Armies
All the way back to the east of Huai country, the spoils of war have been transported away in advance, and the army travels lightly and quickly.

The Qin-Chu allied forces wanted to pursue them at first, but they were ambushed by Sun Wu and Qingji in the mountains and forests. Qin Chu pursued them, and the army was exhausted. Five thousand vanguards were defeated. Don't dare to chase anymore.

After several wars in Yingdu, the city withered and the people did not survive. After the king of Chu returned to Yingdu, he moved the ancestral temple of the state of Chu to Pangdu and changed Pangdu to Yingdu.

Because the Huai State moved the surrounding population away, the Chu State could only move the population from other places, and then fill the Han River Plain.This time the Han River was defeated, and the population of Chu State suffered heavy losses.

After various adjustments, some prosperity in the Hanhui Plain was barely restored.For the time being, Chu State can only rely on Qin State to recover some vitality.

Originally, the marriage between Qin and Chu began again, and the king of Chu married Qinhou's younger sister as his wife.With the support of Qin State, Chu State began to attack the surrounding small countries in order to restore its national strength as soon as possible. Among them, Tang State was the first to be unlucky.

The allied forces of Qin and Chu pursued the Huai army, but the vanguard was ambushed and defeated, so they dared not pursue again.But if they went back here, it seemed that the two countries were too incompetent, so after discussing it, they decided to choose a target, and turned around and wiped out the nearby Tang country.

The Qin army received a large amount of gold and silver treasures as a reward for dispatching troops, and the Chu State gained population to supplement the capital of Ying. The two countries successfully divided the Tang State.

Tang Guo:? ? ?
Although many soldiers were killed or injured in Qin State, they were quite satisfied after receiving the gold and silver from Chu State and the wealth of Tang State.And the Qin and Chu countries renewed their alliance, but this time the dominant state became Qin.

In order to restore the population, Chu State began to attack the small countries in the south. Although Chu State was beaten by Huai State, it was still a colossus for these small countries.

Zhong Caijiang and Huang Siguo also gained a lot of benefits in this war, especially after Tang was destroyed. Although Chu conquered Tang, but moved the population away, Tang's territory was actually still there, so the four kingdoms After some discussion, the land of Tang State was occupied.

In the Huai country, the army returned from victory. Wang Qi personally led the ministers out of the city ten miles to greet him, and the whole Huai country rejoiced.Wang Qi held a banquet in the middle school to celebrate everyone's achievements.At the same time, he also began to reward the officials.

The first victory in this battle was Sun Wu, and Wang Qi awarded him the title of Lord of Huaiyin, with a thousand households in the city.Wu Zixu, King of Jingmen, had [-] households in Shiyi, and Qingji was Lord Sishang, with [-] households in Shiyi. Fan Li was granted the title of Shiyi of [-] because of his contribution in supplying the army in the later period, and Wenzhong was granted the title of Dafu, with [-] households of Shiyi.

Next, there will be a large number of rewards among the three armies. After breaking Ying, Huai State not only obtained a large amount of gold and silver wealth, but also captured many wives and daughters of nobles, as well as palace people in the palace of Chu, even Chu Jie. Hou's wife was also captured by Qingji.

These beauties, Wang Qi, did not stay to enrich the harem. Although these beauties are all good-looking, and because they are family members of the nobles of the Chu State, they also have status bonuses, but compared with Xi Shi, they all become rouge vulgar fans, and I am used to seeing them. These rouge vulgar fans naturally look down on Xi Shi's peerless pampering.

Therefore, Wang Qi selected a part of rewards for the clan, and rewarded all the rest to the soldiers who fought bravely. Although Wang Qi didn't like it, those soldiers still liked it very much. After all, these are noble families.

After the soldiers of Huai State received a lot of rewards, they were very grateful to Wang Qi.The only unhappy one might be Chu State, but Chu State announced to the outside world that after the fall of Yingdu, the noble daughters in the city either hanged themselves, were killed, or died of illness.He was not taken away by the Huai Kingdom.

Of course, all the countries in the world just smiled and turned their heads to let the historians record the facts.

In the 14th year of Wang Wang, the Huai army attacked Chu, and Sun Wuzi attacked Xinyang by surprise.Shen Baoxu wept for Qin, the Marquis of Qin sent troops to assist Chu, Huai State moved hundreds of thousands of Chu people, and returned three thousand palace wives.

Chu said: "This is a fallacy. The capital of Ying fell, and all the women hanged themselves and threw themselves into the river."

In January, the Huai State destroyed the capital of Ying, and almost destroyed the State of Chu.When the news spread, all the countries in the Central Plains were almost stunned, thinking that it was the Huai country who was bragging, but after more and more news came and it was confirmed that it was true, all the countries were silent.

You must know that the Chu State has been a huge rock that has been pressing on the heads of the Central Plains countries for nearly a hundred years, and it was almost destroyed by the Huai State in January.

Because a large number of people migrated, although these people brought rations, it was not enough to last until next year. When the people migrated, Wang Qi promised to distribute free food for one year, so he mobilized a large amount of food from the treasury to distribute to the people.

In the next two years, these people will be exempted from taxes, and the tax revenue of the Huai country will not increase in the next two years. At the same time, because the rewards and the migration of the population require a large amount of food, it is not appropriate to send out a large army.

Fortunately, the Huai country has been repaired in the past dynasties, the water conservancy projects have been perfected, the fertile fields are thousands of miles away, and the food is sufficient, so that it can supply hundreds of thousands of people with food for a year.In other countries, if there are hundreds of thousands of mouths suddenly, there will be a famine.

A large number of people migrated from Chu State, and these people were scattered and resettled in various parts of Huai State.Huai country is thousands of miles away, and there are many lands that have not been cultivated at all.

After these people arrived here, because they had missed farming, they could just reclaim the wasteland.With such a labor force of 10 people, they couldn't be idle. Wang Qi sent people to organize these people to repair roads and build cities.

The resettlement of hundreds of thousands of people was not an easy task. In order to resettle these people, Huai State began to build a large number of cities.

At the same time, Wang Qi resettled tens of thousands of people around Jinling City. After decades of support and development by the Huai State, Jinling City has now exceeded [-] people. This time it has tens of thousands of people, which can be said to be a great increase in strength. As long as these people are absorbed , Jinling will become a big city.

After capturing a large amount of land in the Chu State, it is no longer appropriate to continue to use Huai'an as the capital of the country.Huai'an is indeed geographically superior, with the Huai River in the north, the great river in the south, and the surrounding fertile fields for thousands of miles. Unfortunately, it is too far away from the land of Chu that was just obtained.

In order to control the newly acquired Chu land, Wang Qi decided to move the capital to Jinling.Of course, relocation is a very cumbersome matter, and it is impossible for all the 20 people in Huai'an to relocate.

At the same time, in order to prevent the occurrence of Jin Quwo replacing the wings, the population here in Huai'an also needs to migrate to other places.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Jinling City must be completed.

Wang Qi handed over the construction of Jinling City to Wu Zixu, and transferred 3 people from Huai'an to Jinling. Together with the people from Chu who migrated, Jinling City has gathered 7 people.

-

Huai broke the capital of Ying, and the plundered beauties and noble daughters were returned for five thousand, and all the three armies got wives and concubines.The countries laughed at it, and the state of Chu said: "This is a fallacy. The capital of Ying fell, and all the women hanged themselves and threw themselves into the river." ——"Funny Notes"
