In addition to being excited, Xiong Jing's last sentence still exposed what action the Chu State would take next, and on the same day, Tian He transmitted the Chu State's plan to avoid the sea back to Jimo. He didn't return to China either, Xiong Jing went south to Xiangyang, he followed south to Xiangyang, Zhao Heng and Wei Jian looked at him differently, he didn't care.

A few days ago, Xiong Jing urgently summoned the courtiers to Xiangyang to discuss, and the courtiers came, but there were few ministers in the county. The courtiers of the state of Chu are the general rate, including the rate of new divisions, before the Chu army had forty-nine and a half divisions, now there are only twenty-five divisions and twelve brigades left. Many divisions and brigades were killed or isolated in formation, and the new courtiers could only be reassigned from the county, and they were still on the way to come at this time. In the huge court, when Xiong Jing appeared, many trains in the court were empty.

"The ministers have seen the king." The court is as wide as Yingdu, and although there are vacancies in the seats, the voices of the courtiers are still loud. Having already heard some rumors, they did not congratulate Xiong Jing on how it was, but looked up at the king on the throne.

Before the age of crowning, his figure is still a little thin, but the beard on his lips is getting thicker and thicker. The eyes are bright and direct to people's hearts, as long as the lips are slightly tightened, it will make people's hearts hairy. At this moment, those eyes were looking around the audience, and as soon as they met this substantial gaze, the courtier's head lowered. What they didn't see was that when they lowered their heads, a smile appeared on the corner of the king's mouth, and then it quickly disappeared.

The courtiers who were born in the general rate are indeed fundamentally different from other courtiers, even if the Chu army is an honorary soldier, he will not nod under his gaze, he will only raise his head and hold his chest high. Xiong Jing thought so. Then he cleared his throat and said: "Daze was defeated again, Su Ao, Chengfeng, and Jinggui were killed in battle, Xiang Chao was stationed in Nanzheng with the remnants of the army, and the state of Chu was in danger. Do you have a good plan? ”

"Daze defeated again?!" There was a sudden turmoil in the court, and the news of Daze's defeat was not announced, and now they knew that the Chu army in the direction of Nanzheng was defeated again.

"King, the water war is not good for me, and our army should not fight with the Qin people in the water." Zhen Yin Zimo's voice.

The courtiers knew in their hearts that the last water war propaganda was a victory, but in fact it was a failure. The Chu army had five and a half divisions, 50,000 Zhao troops, 15,000 Wei troops, 20,000 Ba people, and 3,000 Yue people, most of whom died in battle.

"The widow has been ordered, and he can't fight with the Qin people anymore." Xiong Jing answered. However, the Qin people got the craftsman who built the boat in the extreme west, and the Qin people demolished the Xianyang Palace, and the Shaofu launched more than a dozen war boats every day. As of today, the Qin people still have 600,000 soldiers, and the re-enlistment can reach 1 million, while our army only has 25 divisions and 12 brigades left, and the divisions and brigades are not yet in strength, and there are only a few hundred people left in some divisions and brigades, and the number of soldiers in battle is less than 150,000......"

"The king, all of them are my Dongdi County and Yi sent troops, and there are more than 2 million Dingkou in Jiuying, Fangcheng, and Hanzhong, but there are only 12 brigades!" Xiang Que's voice, Xiang did not get any benefits in the West, and there has always been a prejudice against the West.

"How can there be twelve brigades?!" Xia Cai Cai Chi also interjected. "There are many new commanders who have lost a lot, and many soldiers are unwilling to fight."

"Great King, many soldiers are reluctant to fight, because they have been studying Qin Law for a long time." The brigade commander of the Xiao'an Brigade, Dou Ya, also stood on the court and participated in the court discussion on behalf of the Dou clan. "According to the Qin law, a soldier can be promoted to a knight by beheading in wartime, but with Chu law, even if he is beheaded in wartime, he cannot be promoted, let alone loot. Many soldiers did not seek to be promoted, but to be able to plunder goods. ”

"The king, with the Chu law, as a soldier, needs to prepare his own armor and military rations, so the poor are not allowed to join the army, which is also the disadvantage of my Chu country." Another courtier stepped forward to tell him, it was Chen Kai of Chen County. "As far as the ministers know, many Ding Zhuang in Yangxia Land of Chen County are not allowed to die because they have no military rations......"

"If there is no military rations, how can you be a pawn?" In addition to physical conditions, what kind of person can enlist in the army is already an old topic of controversy in the imperial court. Now that there are insufficient troops, this problem has been pulled out again.

"Why is there no food? It's just that the soldiers have no grain, and there is grain in Cangyu County. "Chen Shi is doing his best in Daze, and Chen County is trying to form Chen Shi again, but according to the existing laws, some ordinary people who are physically qualified and economically unqualified cannot enlist in the army." The minister thinks that since there is a national debt, why don't you use grain to fight for it? Though they are servants......"

"Whew!" Cai Chi sneered loudly. "A servant can also be a pawn? Can a servant be a pawn, but can a servant be a pawn? ”

A servant can barely be regarded as a profession, and a servant is a curse. Xiong Jing coughed, and the sneering Cai Chi hurriedly stopped. Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Kai continued: "The soldiers of Xidi have been studying Qin law for a long time, and they don't like Chu Law, and many soldiers are lost. The servants of the eastern land only wanted to be pawns, and they were eager for a war, but they had no military rations. The king said that the Chu army had less than 150,000 soldiers, so why did he insist on the distinction between propertied and proletarian? Proletarians are also Chu people......"

"The death of the proletarian is not credible." Nao Cunning is also in the train. Cai Chi looks down on a soldier who was born as a mediocre man, but he can't trust a soldier who has no property at home, after all, a proletarian person has no perseverance. Zhu Ao also fully agrees with this point, the new military system has always forbidden proletarians to join the army, and the most important threshold is to provide their own military rations.

Sergeants and soldiers have few objections to this. They are all propertied people, and naturally they do not like proletarians to be their comrades. Xiong Jing's attitude is that there is no attitude, go with the flow. However, he knew in his heart that the Romans had also stipulated that only people with a certain amount of property could enlist in the army, and that the soldiers needed to prepare weapons and rations themselves.

This rule was abolished during Marius' tenure as consul, conscription was replaced by conscription, and the proletarians could also enlist in the army, and gradually became their occupation for a living. Many things are bad once they become professions, especially 'professional soldiers', such as the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Caesar was later able to take control of the Senate precisely because the Roman army implemented the Marian reform, and the conscription system became a conscription system. Soldiers who make their career in the army cannot afford to lose their jobs, and they can no longer love Rome and be loyal to the Senate like the Roman army before the military reform.

"If a man does not have military rations, he shall not enlist in the army." Chen Kai in the court was still trying to persuade the courtiers present, and Xiong Jing made him speechless with a word. "This is the old system, and it cannot be changed."

"My lord, so I have no fight! Although this is the old system, it can be changed when it is expedient. "The courtiers who led the troops were not in the court, and there was an urgent shortage of soldiers at the moment, Chen Kai thought that his proposal could be supported by others, even Xiong Jing.

"This matter is no longer discussed." Xiong Jing didn't want to waste time on this matter, so he turned back to the previous question: "What else do you have to do?" ”

"The king, there is a strong enemy outside, there are no soldiers inside, and the battle is invincible, so you can only avoid it." Lu Yangjun did not expect to be listed.

"Avoid?!" Once again, there were waves in the court. This month has been rumored to avoid the Qin people in the sea, and some clans have already paid for the construction of sea boats, but I didn't expect this matter to be discussed so soon.

"Yes, yes." Lu Yangjun said loudly. "The king should know that the land of my great Chu is by no means a place in the world, the easternmost Dongzhou has Warm City, Mantis Bay, Dongsha Port, the southernmost Zhongzhou has Gorge Island, Lion City, and Nanzhou has Nanyang Land.

The Qin people had thousands of warships, and our army only had a few hundred, and the war was invincible, and the country was about to die. For the sake of today's plan, we should avoid moving the community and the subjects to the sea. The Qin people can fight in the water but not in the sea, and the sea is vast and nowhere to be found. ”

"Dongzhou is far away, and there are only more than 100 ships in the sea...... "Lu Yangjun's words fell, and Lan Hao, who didn't know about it, spoke." There are only a limited number of people to transport, so how to avoid the sea? ”

"The three islands of Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou are closer to Dongzhou, and they are only more than 3,000 miles away from our Chu country. War boats, boats, and fishing boats can reach ...... in 40 days."

"More than 3,000 miles?!" The court was amazed, perhaps more than 3,000 miles is a very close distance for Haizhou, but for people who are accustomed to land, more than 3,000 miles is from Longxi to Jiaodong Peninsula, or from Yingdu all the way north out of Yanmen Stop. Migrating such a long distance, everyone subconsciously shook their heads.

"I smell that Penglai is the island of immortals, as for the island, how can it be eaten?" Shen Yinyi, the county magistrate of Yuxian County, asked.

"A few years ago, I searched for sulfur, and the sea boat came to this island." Lu Yangjun said. "The island is surrounded by undulating hills, waters, deep forests, and few flat land. There are tens of thousands of people on it, who grow rice for a living, and there are no countries and settlements. Words do not understand my Chu country, but they are very kind, please exchange women and grain goods for my soldiers and iron tools, and then the sea boat will trade with them once a year in exchange for venison and deerskin......"

"The people of the island grow rice for food?" Zhao Huang glanced at Xiong Jing and Lu Yangjun before asking. "If I move to this island, I will also cultivate acres of land and grow rice for food?"

"Not really." Lu Yangjun felt that Zhao Huang had seen something. "At the beginning of the migration, you can plant the valley of Dongzhou, and harvest twice a year."

"The mountains and hills on the island are undulating, the water is connected, the forests are very deep, and there are few flat lands." Zhao Huang read the words "few flat land" and sighed: "How to reclaim acres of land in such a place? ”

"Is there a miasma on the island?" Yin Feifang of Qisi County heard that Zhao Huang was talking about opening up the fields, and hurriedly asked, and everyone's hearts hung up when they heard the words.

"There is no miasma on the island." Lu Yangjun said. "There are few diseases and snow in winter."

Where there is snow, the climate is cold, so naturally there will be no miasma. Hearing that there is no miasma, the person whose heart hangs is only then put down.

"There are few flat lands there, and I think the lower places are full of water." Yin Sun Yu is not there, but it does not mean that no one in the court knows how to farm. The younger brother of the Southern Yue Monarch Gongshi knows how difficult it is to farm in the mountains of Yuedi.

"That's true." Lu Yangjun nodded. This is also what is written in the sea boat exploration report. "Therefore, everyone grows rice, not millet."

"Everyone grows rice, how to grow the valley of Dongzhou? If you sow and don't get anything......" Zhao Huang continued to ask.

"Therefore when you move here, you should bring two years' worth of food." Lu Yang Jun said, this is the restriction of migration.

After Lu Yangjun finished speaking, the courtiers were stunned for a while, and then Lu Di's Yan Huazi suddenly brushed his sleeves and said angrily: "In this way, the rich and noble will also move!" ”
