Chapter 52 Arrangement
In a warmer era, the Jiangdong Fangfei in April is approaching, and it is verdant. Xiong Jing sent his wife to the east, and also watched countless boats who had avoided relocation to the east. The boats under the control of the Great Sima Mansion, the boats of the nobles of various clans, and the boats of the merchants, if these boats are lined up, the length will exceed three or four hundred li. In the memory of Xiong Jing and the Second Emperor, I am afraid that only the fleet of ships rushing to transport machinery and equipment from Shanghai to the inland in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and the endless landing ships of the Allied forces in Normandy, could have such a grand scale.
Standing on the high place of Zhufang Wharf, seeing the last row of boats disappearing into the sky, Xiong Jing was extremely melancholy. When Lu Yangjun and the others wanted to speak out to consol, he said silently: "The Chu people will return!" ”
Hundreds of thousands of people rode the wind away in order to fight back to Chu in the future. Lu Yangjun said: "Da Ao Yingming, he will return to the world one day!" ”
"The Qin people are chickens and dogs, and they are vulnerable!" Zhu couldn't get his words right, and after his wife left, there was no one to persuade him, so he expressed his heart directly.
Fortunately, Xiong Jing knew that he was a rough man, smiled at him, and then looked at the ministers on the left and right, and said, "Let's go." ”
Seeing his wife leave, it took three days for tens of thousands of boats to leave Zhu Fang and sail into the East China Sea. Xiong Jing stayed in Zhufang for three days, standing on the shore every day to watch the boat go away. His sight made countless people on the boat kneel and cry bitterly, and some even jumped off the Yangtze River and did not want to relocate, but what if they did not avoid? Could it be like the Zhao people, all the people above five feet died on the battlefield, leaving women and children everywhere?
Even if there is no Penglai and no evacuation, Xiong Jing is unwilling to do this. After the existing soldiers in the army died in battle, no matter how brutal Zhao Zheng was, Chu State could still leave some bones and blood. Didn't Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo stay? Didn't the eight thousand children of Jiangdong also stay? If the Qin people insist that the Chu people are Qin people, it will take decades and hundreds of years to completely assimilate the Chu people, and before assimilation, the Chu people are still Chu people.
This is the reality, but why did the state of Chu fall into such a situation today? On Zhu Fang's way back to Shouying, Xiong Jing kept thinking about this question.
Greed for luxury, the pursuit of comfort, admiration for elegance, and indulgence in women's ......, these are all internal causes. However, the whole world is changing drastically, the scholars no longer observe the festival, the people no longer have faith, the ancient competition morality, the ancient wisdom chasing, and the current competition. In this irrepressible upheaval, morality is declining day by day. The state of Chu is also a part of the world, so it is naturally engulfed in it.
Although the state of Chu is declining, the speed is slower than that of the countries of the Central Plains. King Huai was deceived by Zhang Yi, and from the position of the Central Plains countries and even later generations, they all thought he was stupid. But why is he called stupid, isn't it because the countries of the Central Plains and even later generations have regarded fraud as a daily routine? They are deceived every day, and they prevent fraud every day, and when they see who is fooled, their first reaction is naturally that this person is really stupid, and he even falls for this kind of foolishness.
People cheat each other, and people guard against fraud, this is what Han Fei called 'chasing wisdom'. King Huai was deceived, reflecting that the society of Chu has not yet evolved into a society of seeking wisdom like the countries of the Central Plains. This is fortunate and unfortunate. Because of unwisdom, the state of Chu did not firmly oppose Qin, and constantly vacillated between pro-Qin and anti-Qin, and finally reaped the consequences. This evil effect continues to this day, so that the state of Chu can no longer return to heaven, so it can only avoid Penglai......
"Concubine to meet Da Ao ......" Shou Ying Zongzhang, hearing that his son returned to the palace, Concubine Zhao immediately led Ying Nan and other five daughters to come to visit. Concubines don't need a wedding, they just accept it. Who would throw a feast to celebrate the capture of a slave girl?
"Excuse me." All the way back, Xiong Jing, who had gained something, felt the queen mother's steps approaching, and his brows furrowed slightly. "There have been hurricanes at sea since the end of April and May, and the queen mother will leave for Zhufang ...... in the next few days."
"Today has passed the day of viewing, Da Ao will share the bed with the daughters from tonight, and the queen mother will naturally set off after the bed." In order to send tens of thousands of boats to sail, Xiong Jing stayed in Zhufang for three days, and although he accelerated his rowing when he returned to Ying, he still returned to Shouying later than expected.
Concubine Zhao asked again, Xiong Jing was very embarrassed, and the queen mother rushed him to share the bed with the girls like a brothel boss, and also in front of the girls. "The Queen Mother! There is no hurry to close the bed......"
"Even so, there is no hurry to set off." Concubine Zhao struck her lips back, looking very indifferent.
"Queen Mother!" Xiong Jing was forced by her to have no choice, so she could only say: "This matter will be arranged by the queen mother." ”
"The queen mother has no arrangements, it is all their consultation." Concubine Zhao pushed the matter of arranging the bed to the girls. "With their deliberations, today is Yingnan, tomorrow is Fu Kejia, the third day is Ji Yu, the fourth day is Wu Yue, and the fifth day is Balu."
Concubine Zhao spit out a series of arrangements, and said again when her son was stunned: "Tonight, the queen mother will win the prime minister of the South Palace, don't forget it." ”
"Queen Mother, you ......" Xiong Jing was knocked down by thunder, is the Queen Mother going to treat herself as a stallion? It's a pity that Concubine Zhao didn't turn back and took the girls away, and only Chang Jiang couldn't help but snicker was left by her side.
"You're still laughing!" Xiong Jing glared at Chang Jiang, the old guy didn't say that it was okay, but he smiled even more happily when he said it.
"Da Ao should know what Dr. Qu said." Chang Jiang rarely hung up the book bag. "Twenty-eight squire, shoot and deliver. Nine Hou Lady, more Xunzhong. The old servant thought that when the bed was closed, it must not be the princess alone. ”
"Twenty-eight squire, shoot and deliver. Nine Marquis Lady, be more quick and ......" Xiong Jing recited Qu Yuan's Chu words. The sixteen-year-old woman who stayed overnight was tired of changing it immediately; The princesses and nobles sent by the nations are not only numerous, but also extremely outstanding. This is the king's life of singing and singing night and night, extravagant and debauchery. "No." He shook his head with difficulty.
"What the Queen Mother did was to ask the king to have more children." Changjiang served the first king, and served Xiong Jing, two generations of servants, and what he said was to the point. "Now that Da Chu is in danger, the king should indeed have more children."
"But ......" Xiong Jing wanted to say that he already had an heir, but when he thought that Concubine Zhao said that the three sons only had one son, he was speechless. His wife is not pregnant again, and he always has a few more sons, so that if Sheng'er dies, he will not pass on the throne to his younger brother. It doesn't matter if he passes it on to his brother or to his son, but what about his wife? What about the queen mother? What about the courtiers?
"Alas!" Xiong Jing sighed, and the unavoidable thing of closing the bed was temporarily put down by him. Yingdu still has one important thing to deal with for him, that is, the king of the Wuzhu Dynasty. Chu Yuemeng has been discussing for almost a month, and if he discusses again, he will be regarded as deliberately embarrassed by the Yue people. He had to make an alliance with the Wuzhu in Shouying as soon as possible, and then return to the Kaifeng camp.
Besides that, it's his own armor. The new nickel formula and the new process are twice as protective as before, which is an unexpected result. In the battle of Shashui, the Chu State lost four or five thousand people, and the most important point was that they did not have armor. If they were heavily armed, it would be difficult for the Qin cavalry to harm them.
Arm crossbows and longbows have no killing effect on Chu Pawn Ju Armor, no matter how close they are, unless they are used with Cheng Kui's bow; Slashing is also ineffective against the giant armor, even if the Qin army uses a huge sword, it can't cut the huge armor on Chu Pawn's body. The Qin army did not have many weapons that inflicted damage on the Chu pawns in huge armor, and there were only about a few of them:
One is a strong crossbow, including a thorn crossbow and a stumbling crossbow, which must be close enough to break through the armor in about fifteen steps;
The second is an iron spear with a hard spearhead after quenching. But the chief spear is different from the strong crossbow, and whether the chief spear can break the armor depends on whether the Qin pawn can exert the power of the spear. To put it simply, it is how fast and powerful Qin Pawn can stab the spear. If it is like the Chu army rushing the spear, not only is it fast, but it also jumps, and the strength of more than 70 kilograms of the whole body is pressed on the tip of the spear, and the thicker knight's armor can also break through; If it's just a two-handed thrust and no jumping, it won't break the armor either.
In addition, there are the cavalry spears of the Qin army. If the power of the riding spear is not broken, the lethality is twice as high as that of the Chu pawn's running spear; Finally, there are trebuchets captured by the Qin army, as well as manpower trebuchets that are generally placed at the head of the city to defend the city.
Due to the weight limit, the protective effect of the infantry armor is also limited. Because the knight has horses and wears two layers of armor, the crossbow can no longer cause damage, and the only thing that can kill and injure the knight is the thorn crossbow, and the other is the full force of the cavalry and foot soldiers.
Ou Chou, who was originally going to avoid moving to Xinying, stayed because of the new nickel armor, and he couldn't wait for Xiong Jing to go to Jutie Mansion to see the newly made armor. Xiong Jing, who was about to be completely promiscuous at night, had no way to exert his power on Chu Yuexin's alliance, so he went to bed and went to Jutie Mansion in the north of the city when he had nothing to do, and he also wanted to see what Ou Chou had created.
