"The ship is still too small!"

Looking at the whales that occasionally hit the sea surface, Wei Ju couldn't help but sigh.

If their warships were bigger, would they be able to reach deeper seas?

Wei Ju suddenly realized that it was meaningless to go to war with the princes. If they had money and ability, and built some larger ships with deeper draft and stronger sturdiness than the tower ships, would they be able to sail far away?

With just one voyage, their catch could satisfy the meat needs of all the people in a county. If the boat was bigger and could go farther, could it satisfy the needs of an entire county with just one voyage?

If this happens a few more times, will the whole of China be able to have meat for every meal?

Thinking of this, Wei Ju suddenly understood what it meant to have a long way to go and a heavy responsibility.

"Chu, die!" Wei Ju suddenly slammed the chair and stood up.

"?" Shengqi, Changshi and others looked at Wei Ju in confusion, wondering what was wrong with him.

"They have such good sailors, but they hide in Kuaiji and abandon this huge sea area. The word rubbish is not enough to describe them!"

Wei Ju didn't care whether these people understood him or not. He just wanted to kill all the powerful people in Chu. Leaving such a resource-rich ocean unattended was like leaving good farmland uncultivated. It was a waste of resources!
Thinking of this, Wei Ju rushed back to his office on the ship and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find a bunch of maps about the water system of the Chu State.

"Wei Ming!" Seeing the Chief Clerk coming in, Wei Ju looked up at him.

"Here!" The Chief Clerk had no idea what was wrong with Wei Ju, so he could only step forward.

"If I ask you to attack Kuaiji, how many people do you need?" Wei Ju asked.

"Ah?" Wei Ming was stunned. General, you think too highly of me, don't you?

There were originally two navies in the world. One was the Kuaiji Navy after the Chu State inherited the Wu Yue Navy, and the other was the Qi State Navy.

It was a pity that after Qi had not maintained its military preparations for forty years, its navy was scrapped, leaving only two or three large and small ships, which could only be used as fishing boats.

As for the Wu and Yue navies, it was almost the same. The Chu State did not attach importance to its navy and did not focus on naval battles, so naturally the Kuaiji navy was almost scrapped in the dock.

But even so, the Kuaiji Navy is one of the few navies in the world today, with thousands of personnel and two tower ships.

"Forget it!" Wei Ju rejected his own idea again.

What he wanted was not to destroy the Kuaiji navy, but to take over the Kuaiji navy in its entirety.

You can’t raise a real dragon by diving, and you can’t produce a divine dragon by the big rivers. Now his goal is to become the man of the Sea King!
Sheng Qi and Chief Clerk Wei Ming looked at each other. Did this guy become stupid after being in prison? Forget it, he is the head of his own family, so he should spoil him himself!
Shouchun of Chu State.

The seriously ill King Wan of Chu still insisted on listening to the reports from his ministers and generals.

The State of Chu was able to contend with the State of Qin for many years, and King Wan of Chu actually made an indispensable contribution. At least judging from the posthumous title given to him by later generations, King Wan of Chu was also a heroic ruler, King Kao Lie!
"Order the Kuaiji navy to go out to sea to fight Wei Ju!" King Chu gave the order in a hoarse and weak voice.

After hearing that Fu Chu and that group of playboys were attacking Qiyang, King Wan of Chu felt as if the sky had fallen. It was a pity that he was old and sick and no longer had much energy to preside over the government.

Especially when he learned that this group of playboys were still elated after withdrawing their troops from Bingzhou, thinking that Bingzhou was afraid of their Chu State, the King of Chu knew that this country was doomed.

Are all those court officials and feudal nobles really fools?
No, they knew very well the consequences of provoking Bingzhou, but they didn't care, so they were playing with fools, deliberately cooperating with those dandies and teasing the young Fu Chu.

They don't care who sits on the throne, who is the king of Chu, or even what the name of this land is.

The King of Chu could not imagine how the young Fu Chu would control the huge Chu State and fight against those old foxes after his death.

It was not until this time that King Wan of Chu truly regretted not allowing Changping Jun to return to his country.

"Everyone else, please leave. Doctor Sanlu, please stay!" King Chu waved his hand.

Li Yuan and others frowned, but still left the King of Chu's bedroom, which was filled with the strong smell of medicine, and stood outside the door waiting.

Sanlu Dafu was the chief of the royal family of Chu State, and could be said to be the patriarch of the royal family.

"Gunian, remember this!" King Chu spoke weakly.

"Yes!" Doctor Sanlu hurriedly took out the bamboo slips to write it down.

"Order Xiang Liang of the Tenglong Corps, Banbu of the Thunder Leopard Corps, and Ji Bu of the Shadow Tiger Corps to lead the three armies of the Chu State and give them the Tiger Talisman!"

"Did the king remember it wrongly? Was it Prince Qi or Prince Fuchu?" Doctor Sanlu was stunned.

There were too many people who tried to prevent Xiong Qi from returning to his country, including their own clan members.

Ever since Xiong Qi had his fingers cut off, their clan members also did not trust Xiong Qi, because they had never raised Xiong Qi. To them, Xiong Qi was just an outsider, not the eldest son of their clan!
"Appoint Qin Changping Jun, the eldest son of Chu, as the crown prince to oversee government affairs!"

King Chu continued speaking.

He was disappointed with Fu Chu and his descendants. None of them could support the huge State of Chu.

He originally thought that there was still time and he could teach slowly, but unfortunately things did not go as he wished.

"Immediately issue an edict to the whole world, ordering Prince Qi to return to his country!" King Wan of Chu shouted with his last bit of strength.

"Yes!" Doctor Sanlu nodded, then bowed carefully to King Chu and walked out of the bedroom.

"So, what did the king say?" Ling Yin Li Yuan and others gathered around and asked.

"Your Majesty must summon the eldest son, Changping Jun Xiong Qi, to return to the country, and announce to the world that Xiong Qi will be the crown prince of Chu!" Doctor Sanlu said solemnly.

Li Yuan and the others all fell silent.

Changping Jun Xiong Qi is appointed as the crown prince and is ordered to return to Shouchun immediately!
Once Changping Jun returns to Shouchun, will those who once prevented Xiong Qi from returning to the country still have a chance to survive? Moreover, they were the masterminds behind the plot against the Queen Mother Huayang.

It can be imagined that if Changping Jun Xiong Qi returns to his country, none of them will survive!
"If I remember correctly, the royal seal is in the hands of Doctor Sanlu!" Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What do you want to do?" Doctor Sanlu's hair stood on end and he looked at Li Yuan in horror.

"I don't need to say much about what will happen to you all once Master Qi returns!" Li Yuan said coldly, then looked towards the bedroom.

All the court officials of Chu State were silent.

Xiong Qi’s return would be a disaster for them!
The King of Chu is now critically ill, and the King's seal and tiger talisman are in their hands. If...

On the second day, the King of Chu passed away. The whole Chu State was shocked and the whole city of Shouchun was covered with white silk.

However, this was not the most shocking thing. Before the seventh day after King Wan of Chu passed, Prince Fu Chu was hastily enthroned.
