Chapter 80: Immortality
After the war, there were many problems, but among the many affairs, the most important and urgent was to relocate. The northern part of Zhejiang and Lingnan, which had originally pinned their hopes, had to give up because the Qin State had war boats, and overseas could only avoid the three islands of Penglai in the northeast, which was the best choice for fishing boats, boats, and Qinghan boats to row.
But being able to row is not the same as surviving, and the sea boats that used to look for sulfur had a detailed written report on the three islands of Penglai. The local people of Mishima mainly concentrated in the northern part of Horai, which was later known as Kitakyushu, and the abbots (Honshu and Shikoku islands) and Yingsu (Hokkaido) were mostly densely furred savages, and these savages lived by fishing, hunting, and gathering.
Xiong Jing is very new to Japanese history, in fact, before the emergence of the ancestor of the Yamato people, Japan experienced at least two population replacements. According to Japan's own archaeological division, Japan at this time was in the early part of the Yayoi period (300 BC – 250 AD) after the Jomon period. 'Wajin' appeared in the Kofun period after the Yayoi period, and around the fifth century, it 'unified' all of Japan.
'Watoto' was preceded by Yamadai, and Yamadai was a direct descendant of the Watarai people, who were not the same as the earliest Jomon people, and the shape of the skulls of the Watarai people excavated by archaeological excavations was completely different from that of the Jomon people. Most scholars believe that the Jomon people were actually Ezo people, who crossed the strait from Northeast Asia to Sakhalin, and from Sakhalin south to Hokkaido, and finally to Kyushu. Mt. Fuji is named after the Ezo people, and 'Fuji' is the female fire goddess of the Ezo people.
The Watarai people appeared in Japan, landing from the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula and cultivating rice in the southwestern part of Honshu Island and the northern part of Kyushu Island. These rice are not continental southern rice, but northern rice. Relying on bronze weapons and higher productivity, the Dulai drove the Ezo people north of the 'Great Mountain', and it was only after hundreds of years that the Heguo replaced the Yamatai Kingdom, which had once paid tribute to the Han Dynasty.
History is like this, but Xiong Jing thinks that the people who come to Penglai Island now are the Japanese of later generations, and he inevitably has some mustard in his heart. No matter how much you mustard you have, you must continue the national honor and preserve the people. It is impossible to immigrate to Dongzhou, it is too far away; It is also impossible to go south to Taiwan, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia with many epidemics; You can only go to the three islands of Penglai, raise horses on Yingzhou Island, and raise people in Penglai and the abbot.
As for the millions of ordinary people, how many of them can take the boat to avoid migration? How many people can be supported by the grain and straw in the country to not starve to death after landing on the island? That wasn't something he could guess. He only remembered that the navigation report said that the people of the three islands were scarce, even more than the land of Baiyue. That is to say, even if the land of the natives is plundered, it will not be able to feed many people, and everything can only be developed by oneself after landing on the island.
"The ministers have seen the king." After Lu Yangjun and Don't Qi I retreated, I met Zhao Huang and the envoys of various countries, and their saluting voices woke up the contemplative Xiong Jing. "The king is brave, and the ministers congratulate the king on defeating the Qin army again."
"The prestige of the king, the Qin people changed when they heard it." Only half of the Qi country remains, but the Qi country is still a big country, and Tian He stands at the head of the envoys. "I think it's ......"
"Don't think so." Xiong Jing waved his sleeves, waved back all the irrelevant people, and asked people to summon Shi Yan and Bai Yi into the Ming Hall, and then Zhengse said: "The Chu army was defeated by Daze again, 40,000 people died, Bashu is not guaranteed, and the world will be overturned." ”
"The world will also fall?!" The hall was full of cold air suffocation, everyone's eyes widened, looking at Xiong Jing in disbelief, and then Xiong Jing didn't mean to joke at all, and it took a while for everyone to be sure that this was true.
"Dare to ask the king," several people said at the same time, "the world will overturn, what about the evils?" ”
"Before the court deliberated, it was inconvenient for the widow to talk about it." Xiong Jing neither deceives nor speaks outright.
"Dare to ask the king, do you build a boat?" Bai Yi asked out loud, he is a big businessman, and he lives in Daliang with convenient information.
"The widow has nothing to say." Xiong Jing said again. "The widow has summoned the courtiers to Xiangyang to discuss the national affairs, and the world will be tilted, and the court can only make a decision after the court discussion. After the court decision, tell the countries and the world. However, since the state of Chu has formed alliances with other countries, and the widows have promised merchants, they will practice the words of the alliance and the words of the promise.
Now as far as anyone can tell, the Qin State also has a three-oared war boat, and its two times with more strikes and fewer blows, the Chu army is invincible. The Shaofu of the Qin State built boats day and night, and launched four or five thousand warships a year, and ...... at that time"
"The king's will, the Qin people are unstoppable?" Tian He and the others were already wiping their sweat, and four or five thousand warships were an unimaginable number. "The big wing gunboats can't stop the Qin people?"
"Not now." Xiong Jing said: "The Qin people's warships cover Daze, and there are only twelve gunboats with big wings, how can they stop it?" ”
"I'm willing to buy the treasury bonds again, and ask the king to build a big wing gunboat quickly." Bai Yi pleaded. The nations allow the merchants to admit that they have money to borrow money, but if the world is overthrown, and all the money is abolished, they will have nothing.
"Not yet." Xiong Jing Road.
"Not in time?" Including Bai Yi, everyone looked at Xiong Jing and didn't understand why he couldn't say it.
"The artillery of the Ling division is less than three hundred, two in one boat, and less than one hundred and fifty gunboats. Newly built, less than one artillery piece a day, only two guns built in three days, can only be loaded with one gunboat; There were more than 300 sea boat guns, but the sea boat guns were all 32 pounds, and the gunboats were not available. The Qin people built ten or even more than a dozen warships in one day, and they hit one with ten, and I was invincible. ”
The stock and production of artillery are the key reasons for the number of launches of the large wing gunboats, in addition to the springs at the bottom of the gun mounts. The production process of carriage shock absorbing springs is not mature, so the springs have not been popularized. A fifteen-pound cannon required hundreds of springs, which could not be manufactured, so they could only be removed from the carriages of the nobles of the palace.
"Could it be that my Zhao Kingdom is going to die?" Pingyang Jun Zhao Heng was weak when he heard this, he couldn't stand anymore, and sat on the ground.
"If the Zhao State dies, so will my Wei State." Wei Jian was frightened and cried, his eyebrows were worried into a figure-eight, and he looked at Xiong Jing with resentment. There are still two counties in Wei, but they have been unlucky in the past few years. Especially this time, I wanted to follow the Chu army to Guanzhong to show off my might and be an occupation army, so I sent the most elite soldiers, but I didn't think that these soldiers were all sunk in Daze.
"My Qi country is also dead!" Tian He also cried, he thought that the victory of Xiangheguan had turned the situation around, but he didn't expect Daze to lose again.
"My Chu State ......" Zhao Huang heard that Daze was defeated again, and his brain was congested, and Zhao's private soldiers participated in this battle, and it is estimated that the whole army was wiped out.
"The state of Chu will not perish!" Xiong Jing's tone was categorical. "Neither will the nations perish."
"If the nobles of the royal court take refuge on the sea, and there are no people, they will survive." Tian He sighed heavily. He had roughly guessed Xiongjing's solution, and the only feasible solution at the moment was to avoid the sea.
"Does the Qi Kingdom want to be exterminated?" Xiong Jing did not admit to evacuation, but to say so is tantamount to admitting.
"There are all disadvantages outside the world, if it is only for the sake of succession, the world is so big, where can it not be worshipped? But if it were a nation, and if it were a people, how could we abandon the people and flee to the sea? Tian He also wanted to sit on the ground like Zhao Heng, and he finally stood up straight after bending over.
"Could it be that the State of Qi is willing to surrender to Qin?!" Xiong Jing did not argue with Tian He about whether to abandon the people and avoid the sea, he only wanted to know the plans of Qi Guo.
"If the world is really going to overturn and not fall to Qin, how can we save the community and protect the people?" Tian He asked rhetorically. "Although Korea is dead, the Han clan is not extinct."
In order to set an example, it is rumored that the king of Qin allowed him to save the society and sacrifice to the ancestors. Tian He's words suddenly made Xiong Jing very displeased, and he said: "King Qi really believes in the Qin people? The widow has heard that the Qi people are not Emperor Qin, and they would rather go to the East China Sea! ”
"If you really say this, can you protect the people in the East China Sea?" Tian He sighed.
"How is the State of Wei?" Wei Jianwei was still standing, and Xiong Jing did not answer Tian He, but asked him.
"The state of Wei will follow the state of Chu, and the state of Chu will avoid migration, and the state of Wei will also avoid migration; The state of Chu fought to the death with the Qin people, and the state of Wei also fought to the death with the Qin people. After Wei Jian finished his worrying words, Zhao Heng, the king of Pingyang who was sitting on the ground, also struggled to get up, and he also said loudly: "Zhao is like Wei, and it will fight to the death with the Qin people." ”
"I'm ...... Korea, and it's the same." Han Cheng's voice was originally loud, but when he saw everyone turning their heads to look at him, he hurriedly lowered his head, and his voice also became quieter.
"All countries are willing to fight to the death with the Qin people, why do Qi countries ......" Xiong Jing spoke to Tian He.
"The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." Tian Aidao. "For the sake of the people, the widow can only surrender to Qin. Compassion is shared by everyone, and the king abandons the people, where is the compassion? ”
"Even if Qin is surrendered, the king of Qin will not treat the people well." Xiong Jing disagreed with Tian He's point of view, but he was no longer as arrogant as he was just now.
Protecting his subjects is the most basic duty of a king. Although Penglai can be rowed along the coast, although the Chu State now has 355,000 tons of boats, although another 200,000 tons of boats can be added within a year of building the palace, and although these boats can move millions of people ...... at a time, there are still a few people who can migrate.
He knew what Zhao Zheng had done after unifying the world, and the political system of Qin and Zhao Zheng's temperament would only enslave the people, but it was impossible to cherish the people. Those people who remained in Chu will suffer a catastrophe like the old Ying, which the Qin army occupied back then.
"The king of Qin is also a human being, and everyone has compassion." Tian Aidao. "The king said that the world will fall, and the destiny of heaven is in Qin. For the sake of the world and the people, if the countries are willing to surrender to Qin, why doesn't the king of Qin treat the people well? ”
Tian He seemed to be a different person today, Xiong Jing looked at him intently for a while, but turned his head to look at my position. I have gone out, and he has not found him.
"Kwantung and Qin are incompatible, why did the Qi envoy say surrender for the Qin people?" It's not that Xiong Jing personally thinks Tian He's words are harsh, everyone present thinks his words are harsh.
"Although the Qin State is my enemy, the contemptible people only plan for the people." Taai Masashi Road. "Since the Mandate of Heaven is already in Qin, why bother to go against the sky and ignore the lives of the people? What is the way of a king? ”
"How does the Qi envoy know that the Mandate of Heaven is already in Qin?" Zhao Huang was displeased, and the rest of the people also looked at Tian He angrily.
"Qi envoy, please go back." Xiong Jing didn't want Tian He to become the target of public criticism, so he asked him to retire. "In the battle of Chu and Qin, the state of Chu will not surrender! The country of Chu does not surrender, not because the widows do not hesitate the people, but because my Chu people are not convinced! The Chu people would rather be in the company of barbarians than slaves. ”
