Chapter Seventy-Nine: Evacuation
No change
Everything has its own limits, the state of Chu has the advantage of the state of Chu, the state of Qin has the advantage of the state of Qin, both are reasonable existences. But wanting to have the advantages of both the Chu State and the Qin State is wishful thinking. However, it is not entirely true to say that it is wishful thinking, and in fact there is a third way, that is, the national recovery plan that was prepared to be implemented ten years ago but was not implemented.
To borrow a more popular word from later generations, this is called dimensionality reduction. The kingdom became a republic, the nobility became the Chinese, and finally the ordinary countrymen. The purpose of the war has also changed from "protecting the king and the motherland" to "safeguarding the survival of the nation."
Dimensionality reduction will release a huge amount of energy, which will make every citizen believe that he is 'preserving the survival of the nation', so he will automatically and spontaneously 'dedicate all his strength to the front or rear'. The genius Lenin saw at a glance that this was a new trick of the bourgeoisie to deceive the proletariat, where did the proletariat come to the motherland?
I didn't take this path ten years ago, where is the time to take this road now?! Since you are an aristocrat, then do what a nobleman should do and can do, and go all the way to the end, otherwise the result will be miserable.
This is a deep-rooted belief of Xiongjing. He knew that no matter what he did, retribution would not fall on him, but on his descendants. And if he abides by the duty of the king and does not break the conventions and customs, his descendants, and even all the Chu people, will get a better result.
The world he sees is so simple, and at the same time he is taboo against all self-defeating people. Don't say that there are two methods that seem ingenious, but in fact, neither of them is him, and it is not something that Chu can do.
If the feudal monarch and the honored man have already been fiefdomed, how can they recruit officials again? Once the officials are recruited, what will they think? What will the generals of the Chu army think? Let's not talk about whether the situation can support the recruitment of officials, and then mobilize soldiers and loot money and food, even if it can support until that moment, there will be internal strife within the Chu State.
The state of Qin is an enemy, and the king of Chu, who relies on officials to rule the state of Chu, is not an enemy? Such a king of Chu is even more of an enemy! Why did the king of Shang lose his country? Why did Wei Ziqi collude with the Zhou people? Isn't it the growing royal power that threatens the interests of the nobility?
It is not feasible for Qin to recruit officials, and the money that makes Qi people complain cannot be abolished. In terms of practical interests, many of the sons and daughters of Qi are closely related to the gold and silver of the four countries, and furthermore, many of the loan deeds of the sons and mothers are mortgaged in the gold bank of the four countries, and then lent again. The four countries are closely related to the finances of the four countries, and they are also closely related to the national bonds.
Furthermore, borrowing to repay the money is a matter of course. King Zhou also had a time when he was in debt, not to mention the common people. The abolition of all the children's money and mother's money can't be done, at most it is to cut the child's money and not pay the mother's money for the time being. But the problem is that all the Qin people's sons, money, and mother's money have been abolished, and who is good and who is evil can be known by comparison. No matter how much the four countries reduce their children's money and delay the repayment of their mother's money, they can't compare to the Qin people's capital.
The roll city is the outer city of the Fangcheng defense system, the gate city is very large, the martial arts field is also large, but the city is very small, and I can faintly hear some of my cries outside the Ming Hall. Zhao Huang and the envoys of various countries were dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on inside. Shi Yan and Bai Yi were also secretly surprised, and they didn't know why they were crying, could it be that the king of Chu severely reprimanded him?
It is rumored that there are tens of thousands of Hou spies in charge of Bisi, and such a person was also reprimanded by the King of Chu for crying, and the people couldn't help but be a little awe-inspiring, and several businessmen who met for the first time became more and more uneasy. It's just that the interview inside is not over yet, and no matter how nervous they are, they can only wait patiently.
"Li thought that the sea boat should be built as soon as possible...... "Mingtang's cry became smaller, and Lu Yangjun talked about the second suggestion of the Operations Division, that is, Yingdu is now secretly rumored to avoid moving to the sea.
"There are only more than 200 sea boats." Xiong Han has had this idea for a long time. He doesn't care if the Qin State knows it or not, the Chu State wants to avoid the sea openly, and is not afraid of the Qin army chasing after him, and the war between Chu and Qin will extend to the sea.
"If it is fully built, the boat yard can build 500 ships a year." Lu Yangjun said. "A few months ago, when Dongsha Jundong went to the east to be sealed, each boat carried 200 people, 700 sea boats, and could transport 140,000 people a year. By next year, there will be an increase of 1,200 sea boats, which can transport 240,000 people; By the following year, the number of sea boats increased to 1,700, which could transport 340,000 people......"
"Is there a year after tomorrow?" Xiong Jing sighed. Once the Chu army, which has been attacking, loses the strategic initiative and allows the Qin army to grasp the strategic initiative, the country will be destroyed not this year but next year, and it will not be able to delay the monsoon turn in the third year.
Li Ji's plan will only be achieved in the year after tomorrow, and Lu Yangjun's words to Xiong Jing are not surprising. He said: "There will be no year after tomorrow, and there will be 380,000 people who can go to Dongzhou. It is said that every year in Dongzhou, there are sea fish going up the river, giving birth and dying, and the old Yin people have inexhaustible food. ”
"That's in the Warm City." Speaking of Dongzhou, Xiongjing finally has some good faces, but Dongzhou is too far away, and the voyage will take five or six months, and he will have to wait for the monsoon. Navigable only once a year, this is by no means an ideal place to retreat.
"Where is Shen Yinshang?" Xiong Jing asked about a person. On the other day, there was a pigeon news dedicated to him.
"Shen Yinshang?" Lu Yangjun didn't know who this was, but he didn't know who this person was. "It is the captain of the gunboat of the sea boat, it is said that he went to sea last month and has not returned so far."
The pigeon news at the beginning of last month, I was ready to go to sea again, at least for more than ten days. Now that Shen Yinshang is indeed still at sea, it is impossible to return to Yingdu so quickly. Xiong Jing secretly sighed that he was anxious, nodded and said, "It was the widow who let him go to sea." ”
"Yes, it's the king......" Shen Yinshang was in advance at this time, of course, to avoid relocation. The Dongzhou ship schedule is in the summer, and it is now close to early winter, so it is impossible to go to Dongzhou. "If you avoid relocation, dare to ask the king where should I and the Chu people avoid relocation?"
"Don't go south." Xiong Jing's first sentence is that you can't go south, otherwise excluding the climate, Yizhou should be a good choice. "The further south you go, the more miasma there is, and the more people die. Only to the north, although it is cold to the north, as long as you are well fed and clothed, people will die less. ”
"Is it the land of the Minoko?" Don't let me ask. For geography outside the Chu State, he is more familiar than Lu Yangjun.
"The country of Jizi is connected to the mainland, and the Qin people will come." Xiong Jing Dao, at this time Chang Jiang had already brought the map.
"Where is that?" The two asked together. It is impossible for Donghu and Xiongnu to connect the mainland.
"Go over there," Xiong Jing pointed to the island south of Miko Korea, "Penglai." ”
"Penglai?!" Lu Yangjun and Bei Ji surprised me, the Penglai they knew was a place where immortals lived.
The Qi people are most familiar with the Yellow Sea, and the Qi people connect the Qi and Yan countries, and will also go to the south of the Jizi country to buy tiger skins, fox skins, deer skins and other leather goods. However, due to the limitations of navigation technology, it was difficult for the boat to cross the Tsushima Strait, through which the Kuroshio passed, so in ancient times, there was only one left-handed rafting route to Yingzhou, that is, drifting at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, allowing the Kuroshio to roll itself to the left, and finally landing in the southeast of the peninsula, rather than landing on the opposite side of the peninsula.
In later generations, Japan had four islands, but with the left-handed drifting route sailing in the Qionghai Sea, the boat could only see the three islands, and could not see the Shikoku Island in the south, so it was thought that there were only three islands: Penglai, Hojo, and Yingzhou.
Xu Fu crossed to Japan, and if he could not cross the northward Kuroshio in the Tsushima Strait, he could only wait for the left-hand route. However, the speed of the single-oared war boat exceeded nine knots, and it was reasonable to be able to cross the Kuroshio and land directly on the island of Kyushu opposite Tsushima.
It is said that Haneda in the Japanese surname is Qin, and is a descendant of Xu Fu's 500 pairs of boys and girls. What Xu Fu can do, Chu people who are more skilled than Xu Fu can also do.
"Penglai doesn't need a boat to get there." Xiong Jing explained. "A few years ago, when we attacked Linzi, the warships crossed the Yellow Sea and arrived on the island of Minzi Country. ...... south from the island of Minoko Province"
"The King?!" Don't let me suddenly interrupt Xiong Jing's narration, "This matter should be a secret, it should not be in the ears of the ministers, please ...... it"
"Not necessarily." Don't be a careful person, he doesn't want to listen to the details of the evacuation route. Xiong Jing said with a smile: "The whole country will avoid relocation, and it will inevitably raise the army and move the people, where I avoid, the Qin people don't know, and the Qin people also know the Hou Spy."
The widow thinks that the boating yard should not build a boat at full speed, but a fishing boat. ”
"Fishing boats?" Fishing boats are better built than large boats, and many fishermen ask craftsmen to build their own boats in the same way.
"Along the coast, fishing boats can also be." Xiong Jing Road. "If there is a storm, you can go into the promontory to avoid it, and there is no danger. The home of the nobles can build sea boats and war boats; Wealthy homes can build big boats and big boats; The homes of the common people can be used to build fishing boats. ”
"There are 13,000 tons of river boats, 17,000 tons of fishing boats, and 40,000 tons of single, double and triple oars; In the army, 25,000 tons of boats, 80,000 tons of sea boats, and 180,000 tons of Bashu grain transportation boats, so there are 355,000 tons. The number of the tonnage of the boat has always been kept in mind in Xiong Jing's heart, and he finished talking about the existing tonnage of the boat in Chu in one breath, and then said:
"Downstream, an eighteen-ton boat can carry fifty people, and one ton can carry three soldiers; Along the coast, one ton carries two people, and this is 700,000 people......"
"In this way, it may take ten times to move the people of Chu State." 700,000 is an extremely large number, and Xiong Jing calculated it several times before finally believing that this number is correct. Although Lu Yangjun and Bei Yi were also surprised by the huge number, I was a little disappointed when I thought that there were six or seven million Dingkou in the Chu State at the moment.
"As long as there is enough food, cloth, and medicine, we can go back and forth in January." Nan Zheng was defeated again, and Xiong Jing was already determined to avoid relocation. "Penglai three islands Qi people say that it is a fairy mountain, it is a barren land, the high is more mountainous forests, the lower is more ponds and rivers, and it is not conducive to farming. If there is no food, cloth, shelter, and medical care, many people will die if they are evacuated. ”
"So what?" Lu Yangjun was disappointed that there were too few boats before, but now he heard Xiong Jing say that Penglai Immortal Road is a barren land, and there are many deaths to avoid relocation, and he began to worry that Penglai is really a wasteland that cannot be cultivated.
"If the name is not right, it is not good, quickly summon the courtiers to Xiangyang, and the court will decide to avoid the matter of relocation." Xiong Jing replied. After saying this, he sighed again, he still failed.
