Chapter 342: Qingjiang River Basin
There is also a river that stretches from east to west more than a thousand miles south of the Great River Basin. The tribes living here are called Qingjiang.
The Qingjiang River Basin is not like the Dahe River Basin, with many tribes as stars. With the rise of Xia Kingdom in the middle and upper reaches of the Qingjiang River, the middle and lower tribes were also annexed, and the Queen of Xia Kingdom established three cities in the upper, middle and lower reaches.
The Queen moved the main population to the downstream areas and asked the tribe members to reclaim paddy fields to plant rice. The harvest was quite good in the year, alleviating the food pressure of nearly 8,000 people.
What makes Xia Kingdom most proud is the giant docked by the river. These ships are one of the reasons why Xia Kingdom can quickly dominate the Qingjiang River Basin.
In the winter of Xia Kingdom, only the upstream areas will fall, and the temperature will drop downstream. Occasionally, there will be abnormal temperatures. Today is the sun shining brightly.
Hundreds of savage slaves pulled a cart and slowly moved the huge stones cut by craftsmen to the Xia Guoyueqing City. The exterior wall of Yueqing City has not been completed for a year. The queen plans to build an unbreakable city.
Located in the center of Yueqing City, six milky white stone pillars stand on the top. There is a granite double-story building in the middle of the stone pillars. The first floor has a three-meter-high arch, and the surrounding arches are carved with rare beasts from the Qingjiang River Basin.
Entering the arch, you can see the palace where the Queen of Xia Kingdom discusses affairs. The hall is nine meters long and five meters wide. The base of the throne is made of marble. The throne is carved from a giant piece of jade.
"His Highness, the news came from the upstream Zhucheng that was snowing heavily. They wanted to stop encircling and suppressing the savages." A magnetic male voice rang out, and the person who spoke was a young man who was trained by Xiao Qingyun.
Xiao Qingyun leaned on the spacious throne, and her confidant Zhu'er was gently slapping the fan in her hand, "Since it's snowing, then stop."
At this time, the most capable general Xing Kuang, the Xia Kingdom, stood up: "Your Highness, news came from the north bank of the Qingjiang River. They found the location of Yunmeng Qun Lake, and also discovered several large tribes. I want to conquer them for the Queen!"
"No, this year, let me support you. The Northern Army has consumed a lot of stored food across the river. Let's wait until the next batch of rice is ripe." The young man who spoke before stood up to object, and at the same time, seven or eight people behind him also stood up to express his opinion.
Xing Kuang snorted coldly: "What do you know? Building a safe and smooth road as soon as possible is the Queen's most concerned thing."
"The people from the Ministry of Navigation have been sailed along the coast a few days ago. We don't have to go by land!" The young man was not afraid of the battle-hardened murderer in front of him.
"You know, walk from the coast, can you guarantee that there will be no storms in the sea? I lost two ships last time I went to sea." Xing Kuang became fascinated by his eyes. These people only talked, and the most hateful thing is that they like to obstruct the Wangbei Army from going to war this year.
What else did the young man want to say? Xiao Qingyun spit out a lychee core with red lips, "Stop quarrel, let's all be separated. I'll consider the issue of Yunmeng Qunhu in the past two days."
"Affect the order!" Everyone bowed and left. Everyone in Xia Kingdom understood the queen's character. If she made any decision, no one could change it, and the rest were just making suggestions.
After watching them leave, Xia Qingyun took off her small blue cloth shoes and put her jade feet on the throne, "Zhu'er, do you think we can defeat the Han Kingdom?"
"Master, the wisdom of that Han King is not inferior to you, and there are also the cavalry you mentioned. If we take the initiative to go to the north to fight for them, we will be at a disadvantage." Zhu'er said his thoughts, and she didn't quite understand why Xiao Qingyun took the initiative to develop north.
Xiao Qingyun likes to talk to Zhu'er, who is also one of the smartest people in Xia Kingdom. "I caught that giant shark leader some time ago. Han Kingdom is also developing ships. If I guess correctly, two years later, he will install artillery on the ship. When we enter the Qingjiang River Basin through the sea, we will not have the advantage either.
I never thought of defeating him head-on, only by surprise and taking risks can I have a chance.”
Zhu'er took the initiative to help Xiao Qingyun press her feet: "The master means to take the initiative to attack and attack them."
"It's not all. I want to lay a few secret chess in the lakes around the Han Dynasty. As long as that person dares to lead the main force to the Qingjiang River Basin..." Xiao Qingyun even had some vicious thoughts, such as taking down Anhe City and using Lin Fan's women and daughter.
"Sister!" At this time, a girl in a silk skirt ran in, and several strong women followed her, "Princess Zixuan is slow!"
Seeing Zixuan's romantic smile, Xiao Qingyun's thoughts dissipated. Even if she broke through Anhe City, she did not intend to hurt You Ying and Wuer.
"Zixuan, have you completed your studies?" Xiao Qingyun sat upright, and Zixuan threw herself into her arms, "Sister, I have finished writing it long ago, but the pencil you made was too difficult to use, making my hands black."
Xiao Qingyun smiled gently: "Let the craftsmen make you a better place in a few days."
"Sister, I don't want to play with big dogs anymore. I want to go to Sister You Ying's place to play. Winter is so fun there!" After Zixuan's health in this world, the innocent and playfulness that belongs to the child appeared on her.
Xiao Qingyun touched Zixuan's face: "It's too dangerous to run around in this world. If you get sick again and leave your sister alone in this world, your sister will be very lonely."
Zixuan slapped her eyelashes up and down twice: "Zixuan doesn't want her sister alone, can she let Sister You Ying come and play?"
Xiao Qingyun sighed. Zixuan and the people here have no common language. They are really too lonely alone. "Sister, let's try it. Will my sister take you to the beach tomorrow?"
"Okay! Let's go catch big fish!!"
