As the most powerful country in the Xia Dynasty, it is really inappropriate to still use the old "Puyang" for the capital. What Zhiyao wants now is to build the capital.
As for whether to name it "Chang'an" or something else, it is actually a relatively indifferent matter.
"When will the long canal be completed?"
"Go back to your Majesty, and it will be completed in one more year."
"By then, I will be able to add 40,000 hectares of fertile land?"
"When you return to your Majesty, you should be within 40,000 hectares."
The original two major granaries of the Jin State, "Yuan" and "Wen", together only amounted to 40,000 hectares of fertile land. They did not seem to be very large granaries, but in fact they were about the same amount of farmland as the Qin State gained after it built the Zheng Guo Canal.
.
Later, "Yuan" became part of Wei State, and "Wen" became part of South Korea, supporting the military needs of Wei State and South Korea.
Before the Jin Dynasty, the Zhi family developed in the east of "Handan". It took about four years to acquire more than 30,000 hectares of farmland. If an additional 40,000 hectares of farmland were added, as well as the farmland patchworked together in other areas, it would only be Zhizhi.
The amount of farmland under his control will reach about 130,000 hectares.
Although the amount of 130,000 hectares of farmland does not seem to be very high, it depends on what era we are in and there are no natural or man-made disasters. With an output of 65 kilograms per mu (taken from the output of the Qin State), the annual output is enough for four to five years.
A hundred thousand troops were consumed.
Of course, things don’t work that way. The grain produced is not only used by the army, but also used to maintain people’s livelihood in peacetime. It is an extremely special situation that all grain is used by the military.
Zhiyao asked when the new water conservancy project would be completed. He had an idea. After the water conservancy project was completed, the labor force would be allowed to rest for about half a year before being mobilized to the new capital area to start the next project.
Considering the location of the original capital city, it is very appropriate to name it "Zhongjing".
The reason why Zhiyao chose that place as the location of the capital is very practical. Currently, the main enemies of the original country are in the south. Isn't it appropriate to choose the capital in an area with bridges that can connect the north and south of the river?
As the husband of Tianbe Shi, he had been with Zhiyao for a long time. How could he not notice Zhiyao's psychological fluctuations?
Build a capital city?”
These 140,000 generals include the Chu army, the Zheng army and the Song army.
However, there were not many fierce battles between the original army and the Vietnamese army, and the number of prisoners between them was relatively small.
Originally there were more than 140,000 prisoners, but there would be no shortage of wounded soldiers captured on the battlefield.
When it comes to wounded soldiers, other countries will not treat them at all, while the original country will treat them wherever they can in order to preserve its workforce.
Although the original Congress treated the wounded soldiers, it was still difficult to put out the serious injuries. For some more troublesome symptoms, medical resources must have been used on our own wounded soldiers.
Therefore, nearly 170,000 prisoners were taken, leaving 140,000 prisoners who could be used as labor force.
Zhiyao thought for a while but shook her head and rejected her husband's suggestion.
It has become mainstream to act according to a plan in the original country. Having a plan means that the plan has been discussed in advance.
The future strategic goals of the original country have been determined. In terms of major military operations, they will choose to attack Qin or Yan. In terms of civil affairs, they will completely complete the planned water conservancy facilities.
Whoever can be destroyed within a year will be the next target of the original country's annexation. Judging from the current situation, there is no doubt that the Qin State is the most suitable target to attack and destroy.
The Yan State is located in the northeast of the original country. Because the Central Plains and the Yan State have lost contact for a hundred years, few people understand the mountain geography and climate environment of the Yan State.
If the Yuan Kingdom wanted to take action against the Yan Kingdom, how could it be possible that they would not send detailed research to investigate? Understanding the mountains, rivers, geography and climate environment is only one aspect. What needs to be done is to also find out who the current enemies of the Yan Kingdom are, and what the Yan Kingdom's court is.
What's going on.
There are too many things that are difficult to understand in a short period of time. It is not difficult to figure out the fact that Yan State has a flat terrain but is colder.
Some of the news Yuan Guo inquired about showed that the Yan State and Tu He and Dong Hu were mortal enemies, among which Dong Hu was the greatest threat to the Yan State.
However, in recent years, the Yan State has not had a major war with anyone. While its strength is intact, it has to be said that it has certain advantages in terms of climate.
Just because the strength of Yan State is intact and Yan State has no interest in participating in the affairs of the Xia Dynasty, the original country should not give priority to Yan State as the target of annexation by force.
This is different in Qin.
Among the people who occupied high positions in the temples of the Yuan Kingdom, nine out of ten people were from Jin.
Besides Chu, the other mortal enemy of Jin was Qin.
The feeling of hatred is secondary. What is more realistic is that a war is breaking out between the Qin State and Yiqu, which is really suitable for the Yuan State to take advantage in the past.
The spring season has arrived.
Last year, Zhiyao had notified the envoys of Chu, Yue and Song to extend the invitation of "Xiang Wang", and at the same time sent envoys to "Yingdu", "Kuiji" and "Shangqiu".
One thing I have to say is that Zhiyao's matter was handled very unfairly, not for any other reason, but because Chu Junzhong was a prisoner in the original country, but the original country also invited the Chu State to hold an alliance in "Chu Qiu".
A kind of alliance in which each other recognizes the title of king.
On the premise that the Chu Junzhong of the Chu State were prisoners and could not redeem Chu Junzhong, they could not refuse that form of alliance. The only option left was to establish a new king to participate in the alliance.
What does it mean? It means that Zhiyao is forcing Chu State to respond quickly.
When the time comes, Zhiyao will take Chu Junzhong to "Chuqiu" to participate in the alliance, and then let Chu Junzhong face the new king of Chu.
In this way, unless Chu Junzhong gives up his throne, the next step will be very interesting.
No matter what the Chu State does, countries with ill intentions towards the Chu State, including the Yuan State, will benefit.
If the monarchs and ministers of Yue and Song were not clear-headed, Yuan would be able to do even more!
By mid-spring, the Yue and Song states expressed their willingness to participate in the alliance in Chuqiu.
Chu Guo, who has not responded for a long time, is obviously "stuck".
Ziqi, who has been staying in "Puyang", is very busy. All his efforts are to redeem Chu Junzhong, but often there will be no results. It is even difficult to see Zhiyao, let alone Chu Junzhong.
The Yuan Kingdom did not explicitly refuse to be released to the Lord of Chu, they just found various reasons to delay his release.
In this case, the State of Chu definitely understood what the State of Yuan wanted to do, and most of Ziqi's countless efforts were to make Chu Junzhong choose to commit suicide for the sake of the State of Chu.
It is a pity that Chu Junzhong was not imprisoned somewhere else. He was placed in the palace city of "Puyang". His treatment was not bad, but he was under comprehensive surveillance, and there was not much freedom left.
One day, Chu Junzhong received a notice that he was about to leave for "Chuqiu" to participate in the alliance.
The captives of Chu Junzhong didn't know much. Even if they learned that they were going to "Chu Qiu" to hold an alliance, they still didn't know the nature of the alliance.
In Chu Junzhong's understanding, all he could think of was that the Yuan State used itself to blackmail the Chu State, forcing the Chu State to cede land and compensate for the wealth and population. This was a trick played by the Chu State, and many vassal states were manipulated by the Chu State in this way.
The country was so weak that it was easily defeated by the Chu army.
Although Zhiyao arranged for Chu Junzhong to live in the palace, the two only met twice.
Just before departure, Chu Junzhong saw Zhiyao for the third time and couldn't wait to ask: "When will I return home?"
Zhiyao replied: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to the country."
Chu Junzhong was stunned by this sentence, and he asked after a short while: "Yuan Jun wants to kill me?"
"No." Zhiyao denied it at first, and then continued: "In the past few months, the Chu State Temple sent seven waves of assassins to kill you; now, the new king of Chu, Yan, has ascended the throne."
This news made Chu Junzhong look dull.
The main reason is that the information in Chu Junzhong is too limited, and I have no idea what happened in just a few months.
"Yan? Who is he???" It's not that Chu Junzhong doesn't know someone named Yan, but he's just not sure if it's the person he thinks of.
Zhiyao said: "The grandson of Duke Ping (King) of Chu, Prince Jian is the legitimate second son."
Xiong Zhong thought in his mind: "It's really him!"
In that case, the new king of Chu will be Xiong Yan, Bai Gongsheng's younger brother.
"How could it be him!?" Xiong Zhong couldn't understand it at all.
The Yuan Kingdom can quite understand why the Chu Kingdom chose Xiong Yan to take the throne. Prince Jian was full of tragedy. In some respects, Prince Jian was also to blame. If there were other factors, we can only say that Zhao Gu chose Xiong Yan.
Only then could Yan be accepted by the emperor, and at the same time, Xiong Yan's accession to the throne was so unjust and unjust.
Among the choices full of contradictions, the most important thing is that the lord of Chu can accept that Xiong Yan's accession to the throne cannot be justified. It is very easy to find faults and serve as a transitional role.
To put it bluntly, if Zhao Gu wants to ascend to the throne by himself or welcome back Xiong Zhong, the operation will be easier.
Zhiyao looked at Xiong Zhong, whose expression changed repeatedly, and said honestly: "The chaos in the Chu country is far beyond what I expected."
real!
Yuan Guo thought that Zhao Gu would take over directly, but they didn't expect that such a person would be brought up to take over.
A series of events in the Chu State showed one thing: non-public feudal lords repeatedly lost troops, and the internal political structure of the Chu State remained extremely chaotic.
"In that case, why did Mr. Yuan bring me to the alliance?" Xiong Zhong's mind was a little confused now.
As for whether to take Xiong Zhong to "Chuqiu" for alliance, it is not that the senior officials of the original country have not discussed it again. The result is that whether to take Xiong Zhong to do something or not will be decided based on the actual situation.
Prince Jian was the son of King Ping of Chu, but the person who succeeded him was the youngest of the several sons, King Xiong Zhen of Chu Zhao. This shows that something happened during the period of King Ping of Chu.
The power of Prince Jian's family had long since been exhausted by the Zheng State. Even if Bai Gongsheng later became the Ling Yin of the Chu State, Bai Gongsheng would only be in office for a short period of three to five years, and it would be difficult for him to develop any power.
Prince Jian was forced to flee to the state of Zheng, but later he wanted to use the state of Jin to seize the state of Zheng. He was killed by the state of Zheng when he was exposed. Most of the retainers who followed him also died in the state of Zheng. Bai Gongsheng took some people to escape first.
He went to the State of Wu and was later welcomed back to the State of Chu.
If we want to talk about what achievements Bai Gongsheng achieved? He probably won over non-public nobles, transforming these people from very ordinary nobles into local lords with great real power.
After understanding the above circumstances, we can immediately understand Bai Gongsheng's operations after he took office as the magistrate of Chu State. Otherwise, Bai Gongsheng's previous actions would have seemed too inexplicable.
Of course, Bai Gongsheng probably did not expect that the situation in the world would change so drastically in just a few years, and his vision for a series of operations and deployments was only limited to the interior of Chu State.
Speaking with hindsight, Bai Gongsheng's attempt to win over the nobles to help him avenge Zheng obviously greatly harmed the Chu State, and the one who currently benefits is the Yuan State.
On the way to "Chuqiu", Zhiyao began to invite Xiong Zhong to have dinner together frequently, and contacted him many times, mainly because he wanted to understand Xiong Zhong's mentality, and then to instill some ideas.
When the time is right, Zhiyao meets again and asks: "If you can return home, what will you do?"
However, Xiong Zhong gave an answer that was off topic and said: "The Kingdom of Zheng has perished."
Everyone is not a fool, and there is no need to argue. No matter why Yuan Guo is willing to let go, there must be a conspiracy behind it, and it is definitely malicious towards Chu State.
Xiong Zhong still doesn't know the situation of the Chu State, such as how much territory has been lost and the changes in the domestic political situation. The only thing he is sure of is that the original state has the intention of destroying the Chu State.
"So, you will live in the original country for life?" Zhiyao asked.
Xiong Zhong smiled and shook his head, but he didn't say a word.
Recently, Xiong Zhong has been thinking about a question, whether he should commit suicide or not.
If it is for the good of Chu State, Xiong Zhong's death will not cause any trouble to Chu State, and it can also alleviate Chu State's internal conflicts.
Everyone has one instinct, which is to live.
The difference between people is that when faced with a moment of need, some people can choose to die calmly.
They walked for half a month and when they arrived at "Chu Qiu", the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty were already waiting.
Another month passed, and the kings and ministers of Yue arrived first, and the kings and ministers of Chu came last.
This time, Zhiyao brought a legion to "Chuqiu", but three legions were prepared in the rear. Two of them were stationed in the northern guard area a hundred miles away from "Chuqiu", and the other
A legion was stationed in Zheng, near the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was on the mainland, and their choice was to send out all three armies and at the same time assemble 50,000 troops on standby in several places south of "Chu Qiu".
Gou Jian brought an army of 70,000, and the number of troops that entered the boundary of "Chu Qiu" was about 20,000. The rest were stationed along the west side of "Chu Qiu".
Eighty thousand troops came from the Chu State, 50,000 of which went directly to the territory of "Chuqiu", and the remaining 30,000 were stationed near "Shangqiu", the capital of the Song State.
Looking at the troops deployed by the participants, it all shows that there is no mutual trust at all, and they are almost mentally prepared to start a fight at any time.
The land was the territory of the Song State, and it was the Yuan State that invited the alliance, so the Yuan State should be responsible for building the alliance platform.
When everyone arrives at the place, they inevitably need to eat and drink. However, the banquet is definitely not held at each other's camp. They are all chosen to be somewhere acceptable to everyone, and each of them takes care of security.
Once when it was Yuan Guo's turn to make arrangements, Xiong Zhong asked Zhiyao to show up, saying that he had something to say to Zhao Gu.
Zhiyao originally wanted to use Xiong Zhong to do some work in the Chu Kingdom. Over this period of time, Xiong Zhong became more and more willing to cooperate. After much hesitation, he agreed.
After everyone entered the venue, waiting for the bear to appear, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Xiong Zhong walked into the tent and walked straight to Chu Junyan's position as soon as he appeared. He walked so fast that it seemed unkind.
Next, Xiong Zhong, who came forward menacingly, picked up the knife placed on the eucalyptus table for cutting meat and shouted: "The original country is in great harm. Zhiyao has the ambition of 'one world', and all the kings have no cooperation."
To carry the original sincerity, I can only take the first step!"
Everyone thought that Xiong Zhong wanted to kill Chu Junyan, but when they realized it, Xiong Zhong had already committed suicide and fell in a pool of blood.
