The sigh was sad, and Xiong Jing was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. Leaving this land and rowing to an island thousands of miles away is not a good choice no matter how you look at it.

But the reality is always helpless, during the time when Xiong Jing went south to Xiangyang from Juan Cheng, the combat secretary Cao came up with another plan, that is, the reconstruction of the big wing gunboat. Cao Peng Jingfei believed that the new gunboat would definitely be able to defeat the Qin, as long as the new gunboat was quickly modified and formed to a certain scale, but in his and Li's opinion, the situation was irreparable.

As for the key point of guarding the waterway, Li Wei, who proposed this method, has completely rejected it. It's not a question of technology, it's not a question of blocking, it's not a question of tactics, it's not a question of strategy.

The most critical problem at the moment is that Chu has lost the strategic initiative, and the result of losing the strategic initiative will give the Qin state confidence to regain their confidence, and they will launch a large-scale, rapid offensive that cannot be resisted by the current forces alone. At the same time, trust between allies has become difficult to guarantee. The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, the Qi country made people feel uneasy, and some tribes were also uneasy.

The only thing we can do now is to move as quickly as possible, not to hope for something to turn the tide. According to Li Ji's estimate, this year the Qin State will come like Mount Tai pressing the top, and with good luck, the Chu State can hold the Huaishui line; If you are unlucky, you can only hold the line of the Yangtze River, and wait until next year, and the state of Chu will be destroyed. Li Ji's judgment was noncommittal, his judgment was somewhat different from Li He's judgment, and he thought that the situation could be maintained at least until the next year.

Both of them believed that the next step for the Qin people to attack would be Daliang. The girder is a fortified city, and the southern and northern cities are built of concrete, unlike Chen Cheng, which is not afraid of flooding. The defenders of the two cities had a deep hatred with the Qin people, and it was impossible to surrender, they would only fight to the death. How did the Qin people capture such a fortified city? In addition to filling it with human life, Xiong Jing really couldn't think of any other way.

It will take at least a year for the Qin army to attack the girders, and it will take another year to pull out the girders before they can attack Huaishang from Zhushui and capture Shouying; In the third year, they were able to besiege Jiuying and Jiangdong from the Yangtze River, from Huainan, and from the East China Sea. But is that really the case?

At the top of the court, the discussion of evacuation was basically completed, and most of the courtiers were satisfied with this theoretically feasible plan, and agreed that Lu Yangjun would take full charge of the matter, and come up with a more detailed plan next month, and the number of Jiashi would be distributed to all the private boats in the country.

At the same time, in addition to Chu and Yue, Chu also had to negotiate with the Ba people, Zhao people, Wei people, Qi people, and Han people, after all, they are allies of each other, resist Qin together, resist Qin together, and avoid relocation together. If you can't build a fishing boat, the state of Chu can send someone to teach; Without Dazhang and iron materials, the Chu State could sell these raw materials at a low price.

The matter of avoiding relocation was of the highest interest, and at the end of the discussion they put forward a number of useful and technical suggestions. The most uproaring thing is that they think that there is no need to waste time and effort to build any fishing boats, and a canoe is enough. If there are several members of the family, then build an extra canoe, and the two boats are connected by wooden planks, on which are stored utensils, livestock, and grain.

There were so many people in the court, only Xiong Jing knew that the Yue people were really not joking, and those Malay sailors who crossed the Red Ocean to sell cinnamon bark were driving such canoes and dragging their families in the waves.

According to historical records, the smallest tonnage of the Xiamen, a Chinese-style wooden sailing ship (Fu Chuan), which crossed the Pacific Ocean, was 21.03 meters long, 5.79 meters wide, and 1.58 meters deep, with a registered tonnage of only a pitiful 23.13 tons, and a crew of only seven people, including the captain. After the completion of construction in 1922, it departed from Xiamen, stopped at Shanghai, Hakodate, Hokkaido, and Aleutian Edak Island, and finally arrived at Victoria Harbor, Canada.

Even smaller than the Xiamen was a Fu ship named Fubo 2, also built in Xiamen, which had an unbelievable displacement of 12 tons, similar to the displacement of the Chu fishing boats. In 1933, it departed from Xiamen and passed through the Philippine Islands, Palau, Indonesia, Western Australia, the Central Indian Ocean, Northeast Australia, the Solomon Islands, Santa Cruz Island, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, and Hawaii.

Fubo 2 did not take the North Pacific route, but the South Pacific route. Unfortunately, the 12-ton Chinese-style ship was damaged by a hurricane while berthing in Hawaii in 1935 and failed to complete the voyage across the Pacific Ocean.

The Chu people are a plain tribe, and the Yue people are a maritime tribe, and the difference in customs and beliefs makes the cognition of the two sides on the sea very different. Xiong Jing also had no way to tell the ministers of the imperial court that the fishing boats of the Chu State could not only sail along the coast to Penglai, but also across the Blue Ocean and sail all the way to Nuancheng in Dongzhou. Of course, these are the details, and when it comes to a crisis, as long as more people can be moved, not to mention canoes, rafts will be used.

Xiangyang City Yin Mansion, the court decided the national policy of migration, more than ten days later in Xianyang, there is no longer a majestic palace of the Qin Palace, Zhao Zheng, who lives in the big curtain, is looking at the general in front of him.

This is a military discussion. Taking advantage of the gap in the war, Zhao Zheng summoned Wang Jian who was far away in Qi State, in addition to Wang Qian, there were also the general Anqi who temporarily led the army after Li Xin's death, the veteran Zhao Yong who was attacking Wuguan Dao, Meng Tian who surrounded Nanzheng, Bai Lin who was attacking Tho, Zhao Ying, Yang Duanhe, Tian Pu who once again defeated the Chu army's boat division, and Wei Fen, who was just a lowly boy in Chu and had become a general of the Qi army in Qin.

These are all generals with heavy troops, the sharpest minions of Great Qin. At the risk of delaying the war, these people were recalled to Xianyang, in order to correct the direction of the war machine of the Qin State as a whole, aim it at the key points of the Chu State, and fight in the most efficient way.

In the past ten years, one of the most valuable lessons learned from the war with the Chu State was not to give the Chu State time. Once the state of Chu is given time, the state of Chu will appear with unexpected new tactics or lethal weapons, which can often change the course of the war.

In other words, the war with the Chu people is not a simple repetition and numerical accumulation, it is not the tactics and weapons that are available and effective this time, and will continue to be available and effective next time. The tactics and weapons of war are constantly being improved and never ending. The Qin army is an army that is good at fighting and learning, with a group of capable and pragmatic generals, even so, it is extremely fortunate to catch up for ten years. If you chase it again, you may not be able to catch up.

"The general said that the eastern land is the foundation of the Jing people, and the Jing people are all from the eastern land, and only by attacking the eastern land can the Jing be quickly destroyed." An Qi relayed Li Xin's last words, and although Zhao Zheng had read Li Xin's last letter several times, he still listened quietly. "If you want to attack the east of Jingzhi, you must first pull out the girder of Wei. The beam, the strong city also, the Jing people master craftsman to the concrete soil, the iron of the tendon to build it, the Wei people said that they are not afraid of water attack, not afraid of witch medicine.

The general thought that the words of the Wei people were not credible, and the witch medicine blew up the mountain and cracked the rocks, how could the city walls stop it. The girder is not built on the rocks, but between the ponds, and although the city wall is solid, the city foundation may not be solid. Our army should lead the river water to attack the girder, and pull out the girder, so that the boat division can go south along the chasm. The eastern land is the foundation of the Jing people, and when our army enters the eastern land, we can make an appointment with the king of Jing to fight, and the king of Jing will agree. ”

"Why did King Jing allow it?" Zhao Ying, who defeated the Chu army again, has already been made a marquis, and his status is far above the generals. Li Xin is the general of the Lingshi Division, and the battle is bound to be a land war, not a water war.

"The general once said that King Jing regarded himself as brave and would not want the Qin army to attack the foundation of Jing. King Jing is not allowed, and the army of Jing will live young, but King Jing can be forced to fight. Anqi replied, and his words made Zhao Zheng frown slightly.

"Yes." The temples of the national lieutenant Wei were faintly pale, but his expression was relaxed. "However, I heard that the Jing people had decided to avoid me in the East China Sea and migrated to Penglai."

"Penglai?!" The most surprised among the generals was Tian Pu, who was a Qi man and was most familiar with Penglai.

Seeing him like this, Wei Yi asked, "General Tian knows Penglai?" I don't know where this Penglai is located? ”

"The king, the national captain, Penglai is located in the deep sea, the fisherman Fang Shi said, Penglai, the abbot, and Yingzhou are the islands of immortals, and there are immortals living on them." Tian Pu said. "The Jing people traveled to the world by sea, or they knew how to get here, so they migrated to the island."

"Do you know how many miles Penglai is from the Qi country?" Wei Yi was not satisfied with this answer and continued to ask.

"I don't know." Tian Pu shook his head as he replied. "Although there are rumors that someone has been to Penglai, the minister has not seen or heard of it."

If the state of Chu is defeated again, the world will fall, and the state of Qin is like a deaf patient who will become deaf and clear overnight. The general content of the Yin Mansion in Xiangyang City was transmitted to Xianyang in 1510, and it was absolutely impossible to change it before.

Zhao Zheng was very taboo about this, and the migration plan of Chu was not only Chu State, but also the three kingdoms of Zhao, Weiqi, and Ba and Baiyue. They have fled today, and he will surely counterattack and restore the country one day. There are still Qiang people and Chu army divisions and brigades in the west of Longxi, and there are remnants of Zhao and Hu people on the grassland, once these three forces are united in the future, they will inevitably shake the foundation of Great Qin.

Today's Great Qin is strong, and he will still be strong in the future? Zhao Zheng didn't believe it at all. The greedy officials gnawed at Great Qin's body like moths, and if these three forces could not be eliminated or completely contained in his hands, one day Great Qin would be torn apart by them.

"If the widow wants to die quickly, who can take on this important task?" Looking at the general in the tent, Zhao Zheng asked. When the generals opened their lips and wanted to ask for their lives, he added: "When will Jing Kingdom die?" ”

"The minister is willing to take on this responsibility, and with the war boat, he can die in Jing in a year." Zhao Ying opened his mouth unrelentingly.

"The minister is also willing to take on this position, and it will take two years to die in Jing Kingdom." Meng Tian was a step slower, and the conditions were one year longer than Zhao Ying.

After the two answered, the rest of the generals wanted to say but didn't say anything, they all turned their heads to look at Wang Qian. The generals looked at Wang Qian, and Zhao Zheng also looked at Wang Qian. The general who is in charge alone, after the death of Meng Wu, there are only Li Xin and Wang Qian, and after Li Xin's death, only Wang Jian remains.

"Minister, old man. It will take three years for the ministers to die in Jingguo, which is not as good as two generals. Wang Jian sighed.
