Chapter 7: Awakening
In the Ming Hall of Huaixian County Guard, Zhao Zheng, who was furious, finally chose to endure for the time being. Great Qin really can't be defeated, and once defeated, the situation that has been reversed may be reversed by King Jing. No matter how cowardly Wang Jian is, he can destroy Zhao, break Qi, and fight Jing, except for that snowy night escape, even if he is defeated, he can stabilize his position. It is better to hand over the Qin army to such a serious general than to hand it over to Meng Tian, Zhao Ying, and Bai Lin.
The reason why Jing should die quickly is because he is afraid that the Jing people will escape, especially the son of King Jing. King Jing risked offending the kingdom of heaven and earth to break off the marriage, for what? Maybe it's for Mi Xuan, but more importantly, it's for the sake of the heirs. After Mi Xuan became the king of Jing, his son was the eldest son of Jing Guoyan. If this eldest son of Jing Guoyan escapes, the consequences are unimaginable.
The war boat, the war boat must seal the coast of Jing State. Zhao Zheng no longer cared about the confrontation between the two armies centered on Daliang, and thought about the long sea area south of Qi State. Can Zhao Ying's boat master really lock up such a long sea area as Wei Yi said?

"I've seen a big... Da Ao. "The Shogunate of the Chu Army, like other generals who met Xiong Jing, Shen Yinshang was not very accustomed to performing Chu salutes. Xiong Jing didn't care about this, and looked more at Yin Sun Yu and Lan Yin Qugan, who came to meet him with him.
After the Battle of Daze last year, Xiong Jing directly ordered Shen Yinshang, who had just returned from Hongyang, to go to Penglai with Yin Sun Yu and Bluetooth Qu Gan. Agriculture is the foundation of a country, and moving to Penglai is not a random thing on the map, but a field exploration, repeated consideration, and overall planning. What is going on on the island can only be determined after Sun Yu, Qu Gan and others have seen it on the spot.
"The minister has seen the king." Sun Yu and Qu Gan didn't know if they had forgotten, or they insisted on their previous name and called King Xiongjing.
"No courtesy." Xiong Jing didn't seem to feel the difference in what they called him, and as soon as he finished speaking, he asked anxiously, "How is Mishima?" ”
I went in October last year and returned in January this year, and the world has been turned upside down in less than four months. Sun Yu and Qu Gan glanced at each other, and Sun Yu said: "Your Great King, the three islands are all rugged places, with few land plains, many mountains, deep forests, and many wild beasts. Its soil is red, similar to the soil of the transgression, and this is not suitable for crops. If there is any other, please move to another place. ”
Xiong Jing had a complete idea of what kind of terrain the island was, but when he heard that the land on the island was too red for crops, he was a little dumbfounded. The red soil in the south is acidic soil, and it is good to grow tea and melons and fruits, but it is really not good to grow grain. The best soil is black soil, which can be ......
"Map." He shouted.
North Korea can't go, North Korea is close to the mainland, it seems that the Han Dynasty or what dynasty built Lelang County. North Korea is not good, and the Northeast is definitely not good, but Vladivostok is also black soil, and it is easy to raise horses, do you want to go to Vladivostok?
This idea flashed in Xiong Jing's mind before the map was taken, but once the map was taken, he shook his head again and again when he saw the location of Vladivostok. The state of Chu is only a few hundred kilometers from Penglai, and the distance to Vladivostok is two to three times the distance from Penglai. Farther distances mean longer travel times, which means fewer people on the move.
"Only Penglai Mishima!" Xiong Jing said with certainty, and Sun Yu's eyes were suddenly a little disappointed.
"I think it......" Lan Yin Qugan said, he was comforting. There are many birds and beasts on the island, wild deer are herds, and the water and tidal flats can be fished, and the natives can make a living from this, and my Chu people can also make a living from this, and it is not necessary to have crops. ”
"Good." Xiong Jing nodded repeatedly. Lan Yin manages the mountains of the Chu State, and no one knows better than Lan Yin what can be produced in the mountains.
"It is true that crops are not necessary, but fishing and hunting can only be for a while, not for a long time." Sun Yu sighed. "The king takes the people as the sky, and the people take food as the sky. The island is not suitable for crops, and in the future, our Chu country will be scarce, and the country will eventually be weak. ”
Sun Yu thought about it for a long time before he said this, Xiong Jing put down half of his heart, and asked, "One million families moved to the island, do you have food?" ”
"If you can move it, there is." In three months, Sun Yu has already seen the three islands comprehensively, Yingzhou must be unlivable, and the migration must be to Penglai and the abbot. The area of the two islands is not smaller than that of the eastern land of the Chu State, but only larger than the eastern land of the Chu State.
"Xu Qianzhi?" Xiong Jing didn't know how much Xu Qianzhi of Sun Yu was, it would be okay for one or two years, but if it was three or five years, it would definitely not work.
"Three years as short as five years." Sun Yu roughly knew the current situation, and looked straight at Xiong Jing when he spoke.
"Up to three years." Xiong Jing immediately shook his head, shook his head and corrected: "Two years at most." ”
"Two years?!" Sun Yu stretched out two fingers, incredulous.
"Two years at most, maybe one year." Xiong Jing said this, and felt that he didn't need to ask this question.
In the first year, there were only 350,000 tons of boats, and only 600,000 people were only half a ton per person; In September and October, if it is moved again, the boat yard may be able to build 50,000 or 60,000 tons of boats, and with these 50,000 or 60,000 tons, the total tonnage of the boats will only be more than 400,000 tons, and only 800,000 people can be moved; In the second year, there were 500,000 tons of boats, and two consecutive migrations were up to 2 million people.
In fact, it is impossible for one person to carry half a ton, and there is no verification of whether it is feasible for one person to carry a year's rations, so the actual migration figure will certainly be much lower than this number.
And the Qin army will definitely stop it when it sees a large number of people moving out of the Chu State, and maybe it will have a decisive battle with itself in April. If he is defeated and the state of Chu is destroyed, there will only be one migration, and the total will not be more than 500,000 or 600,000 people. These people don't have to worry about food rations on the island at all.
"Or maybe only half a year." Sun Yu and others were about to say that they couldn't move so many people in a year, but Xiong Jing had changed one year to half a year.
At this point, he suddenly came to his senses. Previously, he had been thinking about whether he would advance or retreat, and he couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it. Now he understands that the goal of the Chu army in the future is to hold back the Qin army as much as possible, and the longer it drags on, the more people will migrate, and the greater the hope of recovering the country in the future.
Then there is the boat division, Bu Liangju's large-wing gunboats should not be arranged here, but at the mouth of the Huai River and the Yangtze River, where the ports need to be defended by him instead of here. Even for the sake of artillery, the production of artillery is lower than normal while preparing for the migration, and the Chaos class gunboats that are urgently launched have no artillery, even fifteen pounds of guns have to be stuffed into the Chaos class - the big wing gunboats are likely to be dismantled.
Sun Yu is still trying to advise that it is absolutely not possible to move one million households to the island for half a year or even a year, and Xiong Jing, who is distracted, can't hear his words. He thought that it would definitely not be enough to build five more Chaos-class gunboats a year, and it was not enough for Jutiefu to produce 240 32-pound naval guns a year, so it was necessary to immediately increase the number of Chaos-class gunboats......
"King!" After talking for a long time, the king didn't seem to hear it, and Sun Yu shouted.
"I ......" Xiong Jing came back to his senses at this time. The Qin people will stop me from migrating. ”
"Qin people?" Sun Yu and Qu Gan were stunned, and Shen Yinshang nodded deeply. Since the Qin army's boat division has an absolute advantage, and the Chu state has moved out of Dingkou to Penglai in a big way, the Qin people will definitely send a boat division to stop it.
"Yu Daao, I think we should build more Chaos-class warships." Shen Yin Shang knew the power of the Chaos-class gunboats, which was incomparable to the Great Wing gunboats. "If you are in a hurry, you can rebuild a gluttonous cargo boat."
"Rebuild a cargo boat?" Xiong Jing didn't expect this one. "But the cargo boat is not as strong as the Chaos class, even if it is the Chaos class, it will be hit by the war boat and break the ribs of the boat and enter the water."
"When he was in the Red Sea, he fought with the Seleucid warships, and he thought that the gunboats might be armoured." Shen Yinshang suggested. "If the gunboat can wear huge armor on both sides, it should not be afraid of the collision of the warship."
"Armor?!" Xiong Jing shouted. Oh, yes! If the Chaos-class gunboats could be equipped with huge armor on both sides like the later ironclad ships, how could the bronze crash bow of the Qin warship break the ribs? The position of the bronze collision angle is very fixed, just near the waterline, the armor does not need to be too wide, and the accurate position is three feet enough; It doesn't need to be too thick, two or three inches, so that it won't be broken by the corners.
The more Xiong Jing thought about it, the more useful he felt, and he couldn't help shouting: "Good! Great goodness! ”
"Thank you, Da Ao." Xiong Jing was happy, and Shen Yinshang was also happy. He thought that it would be a lifelong regret to be sick and not go to the Green Ocean, but it was a blessing in life to be able to lead the fleet to fight with the Qin Renzhou Division in the East China Sea.
"King, the matter of migration ......" Sun Yu didn't understand how to talk about it, and then he diverged as he spoke.
"There's a lot going on here, and it's not just the crops," Xiong explains. "In April and October this year, there may be more than a million people; Next year, it will also be in April and October, and the maximum number of people will be 2 million. Is it okay for everyone to carry a year's bread? ”
"If they all move here for the first year, yes." Sun Yu laid out another map he drew on top of Xiong Jing's map, and the place he pointed to was the north of Penglai Island. "The ministers look at the three islands, the natives are the most numerous here, and there are many acres of houses here, if they can drive away the natives and settle the people who moved in April, they will plant the valley of Dongzhou after they land, and the grain for a year can also."
"Can the natives have a ruler?" Xiong Jing was not optimistic about Kitakyushu in later generations, which was too close to North Korea.
"Yes." Shen Yin Shang said. "The natives all have their rulers, and there are also Qi people on the island who speak the native language."
"Qi people?!" Xiong Jing was unbelievable. "Why are there Qi people on the island?"
"And the swallows." Qu Gan said with a smile. "There are also many Korean people, many of whom are the rulers of the natives, and they are all common people, and they are afraid of sin."
"Since this is the case, you can discuss with it, and the Chu State will borrow land for two years and pay it back in two years." Xiong Jing said, he saw that everyone was puzzled, and said: "This place is too close to North Korea, if the Qin people come to the boat, I will bear the brunt." ”
"If the Qin people come to the boat, I should refuse to annihilate him." Shen Yin still didn't understand why he wanted to borrow land, mainly because he couldn't imagine the scene of thousands or nearly 10,000 warships covering the sea. Xiong Jing did not dare to underestimate the mobilization of the Qin Dynasty under Zhao Zhengzheng at all, he did not want the Chu people to die for defending Tsushima Island, nor did he want the people of the world to be driven to the Yellow Sea by Zhao Zheng and die, so he could not fight without fighting. It is possible to live temporarily in the north of Penglai Island, but it is not possible to live in it for a long time.
