Chapter 9 is king

Among the 350,000-ton boats, the 180,000-ton boat is the most afraid of wind and waves. The sea boat is different, the sea boat is not afraid of wind and waves, but unfortunately the vast majority of the more than 160 sea boats that have been built are sailing boats, which need monsoon winds, and sailing against the wind is too difficult for sailing boats.

The workaround is to sail out of Zhufang Port and sail downwind to the open sea of Ouyue with the help of wind and coastal currents to get close to the Kuroshio in the northeast of Yizhou when the northeast monsoon blows from late October to April of the following year. When the Kuroshio arrives, it sets sails to the north, and the Kuroshio that flows north to the inland sea of Hojo Island cannot push the boat into the inland sea, and at that time it needs to be towed by a war boat to tow the boat to the pier.

It's going to go and it's simple to return. Under the northeast monsoon, as soon as the sails are raised, the boat can return to Zhufang in a few days. This is a downstream, a tailwind, no hands, so don't rest, the round trip can be compressed into forty days, and it is not impossible to go back and forth four times in five months.

Xiong Jing comforted the three of them because it was indeed a possible solution. But there is one more thing he has always been vague about: how much tonnage is needed to transport a person to Abbot Island?

He thought that half a ton would not be enough, even if the corn was transported centrally, not counting the tonnage of corn. But when I think of a thirty- or forty-ton large-winged warship with one hundred and seventy soldiers on board, each of which occupies less than a quarter of a tonnage; Another example is the one given by Li Er, where an eighteen-ton boat carries fifty people, and one ton carries three soldiers, and he thinks that half a ton of tonnage is enough to transport one person.

The Chu army shogunate in the city was opened, and when Xiong Jing was thinking about this matter, Nao Xin suddenly appeared outside the hall. He didn't come in, just lingered outside the hall. Xiong Jing knew that this was not an urgent matter, but it was important. With a rough idea of the resettlement plan, he quickly dismissed Sun Yu and the others and summoned Nao Xin in.

"Yu Da Ao, don Wuzhu please be the king again." The news of Naoxin's announcement is not news anymore. Shortly after the death of Su Kai last year, the king of Minyue, Wu Zhu, was clamoring to inherit the throne of Su Kai, which was rejected by Xiong Jing, because Zhu Yue had elected Zhu An, the king of Ouyue, as the Ao of Zhu Yue and took over the position of Su Kai, and then Wu Zhu directly asked to be called the king.

"Don't want to rebel?!" Xiong Jing's eyebrows raised, remembering the news that Nao Xin had told him before.

"Yes." Nao channel. "It is rumored that the King of Qin has promised that Wu Zhu will be the king of Yue."

"Servant!" Xiong Jing scolded fiercely. "Doesn't he know that Zhao Zheng promised today that he will break his promise tomorrow?"

"Zhu Yue wants to be called the king for a long time," Nao Xin shook his head again and again, "If the donkey is not dead, the donkey is hopeless, and now the donkey is dead......

"Why should he be so king?" Xiong Jing hated but couldn't.

"It's not convincing." Nao Xin saw that Xiong Jing didn't care about the idea, so he could only remind. "Wu Zhu, Zhu An, and Gong Shi are all in Langya Port, Tian Pu, the son of Tian Widow, has already surrendered to Qin, and his leading boat division is stationed in Zhifu, and the minister thinks that the Qin people want to attack Langya Port. If Da Ao and Zheng Dynasty do not allow Wu Zhu to be king, they will rebel against me and join Qin. ”

"What do you think?" The news came from the Great Sima Mansion, and Xiong Jing wanted to hear the countermeasures of the Great Sima Mansion.

Nao Xin glanced up at Xiong Jing and said coldly: "Kill Wu Zhu!" ”

"Kill nothing? How to kill it? Raise the sword of the widow to kill him? "This method is not new, Li He has had such a suggestion before, but Xiong Jing does not allow it." Do you think that there is no one who wants to be king? ”

"I don't know." Nao Xin didn't know what the situation was in Minyue, whether it was none of them who wanted to be king, or whether all the kings of Zhuyue wanted to be king. "When the minister hears it, the more human nature is brittle and stupid, and there is no ......"

"It's not that the more human nature is brittle and stupid, but the more people are unwilling." Xiong Jing sighed. The Chu people are also very stupid in the eyes of the nations, and it is the Chu people who are talking about the sword in the boat, and the people of Jing are also talking about the Chu people. In addition, there are self-contradictions, drawing snakes to add to the foot, and it is all about the Chu people. The nations thought that the Chu people were stupid, but Xiong Jing thought that the foolishness was the place where the Chu people were superior to other countries. How can the Chu people laugh at the more foolish people are? Doesn't this mean that the Chu people are not as good as the Yue people?

"If he wants to be king, he will be allowed to be king." He said subconsciously.

"Huh?!" Nao Xin was stupid, and he hurriedly said: "If Zhun Yu does not claim to be the king, Zhuyue will not accept it!" And if you are the king of Yue, he will not obey my Chu people one day, and the tail will not fall off at that time......"

Xiong Jing understood the meaning of Naoxin. At that time, the king of Yue Wujiang was persuaded by the Qi people to attack Chu, but he was defeated by the king of the first monarch and died in battle, and the country of Yue was divided into four points from then on. The hatred of destroying the country has always been hidden in the hearts of the Yue people, and the Qin people provoked one by one.

"If you can't convince the public, how can you not lose your tail?" Xiong Jing asked rhetorically. "He's going to be king, but. However, if the king of Zhuyue is dissatisfied, he needs to compete openly and honestly, and win the battle before he can be king. ”

Xiong Jing said his first request, "Furthermore, Chu and Yue are all theocratic clans, if you go against the rule of the gods and spirits of the people and practice the rule of the Zhou people's monarchs, and use the royal power to invade the rights of the Yue clans, I will kill them!" ”

Xiong Jing said this to Nao Xin, and his two requests soon reached Shouying. Compared with Yingdu, which is more old and narrow, in the Great Sima Mansion, the position of seven people is now sitting alone with the three of Nao, Zhao, and Lan Hao. Nao Cunning said directly to the two people who rushed over: "Da Ao wants to allow Wu Zhu to be the king......

"How can the king ......" Zhao Huang directly snatched the news and read it carefully before passing it to Lan Hao.

"What about Langya Port?" Zhao Huang was still thinking after reading it, and Lan Hao asked about Langya Port.

"Langya Port was originally the capital of Yue, and Wuzhu was called the king, so he made Wuzhu the capital." Nao sly rarely laughed.

"Yes." Lan Hao also smiled, twisting his beard and nodding.

"Yun Su is not called the king, so isn't the Yue Kingdom restored?" Zhao Huang thought about it and still felt that it was inappropriate. He saw that he didn't need to compete with the king of Zhuyue to make the king of Zhuyue submit in order to be king, and he felt that this was just a provocative plan.

"The restoration of the Yue Kingdom is just my vassal, if I don't allow it, how can I be the king?" Lan Hao asked. "And the Yue people are not my Chu people, and if they don't rule the monarch's father, how can they become a country?"

The state is not the original Yue people, it is the Yue people who have been influenced and stimulated by the kingdom of heaven, so they have their own state. In other words, without the rule of the monarch's father, it is impossible for the Yue Kingdom to be restored in substance, and the king can only be restored in name. Lan Hao took a fancy to this, so he didn't care whether he was the king or not. His king is no different from Zhou Tianzi after the Zhou people moved east.

"Not being able to become a country is also a hidden worry." Zhao Huang Road. "Don Wuzhu colludes with the Qin people, you should kill him! Last year, King Qiang ......"

"Do you want the king to go to Langya Harbor to kill Wuzhu?" Nao looked at him strangely.

"Definitely." Zhao Huang hurriedly said. "The king can summon the supreme longevity."

"At this time, An can be called? If you are called, you will rebel. Lan Hao hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it. Su Wuzhu just asked for the king's name, and he didn't want to fight with the Qin people like the Qiang king. The state of Chu is no longer king, so what if he is allowed to be king. I thought it was possible. ”

Dou Yu Pheasant is in Qiangdi, Great Elder Song is in Badi, Dongye Gu is in Mulingguan, and Su Zhu'an is in Langya Port. There are only three Ao in Qiao, Lan Hao agrees, Nao Cunning agrees, and Zhao Huang has no choice but to agree. At the same time as the news was sent out the next day, Dazai Jinyi, who celebrated the king of Wu Wuzhu, also set off from Shouying to Langya Port with a congratulatory gift.

"The King of Chu allows me? The king of Chu actually allowed me? In Langya Port, Su Wuzhu, who was sitting on the ground, was startled by the flying news from Shouying, and unconsciously touched the back of his head when he listened to it. What he wanted to wait for was a reply from the king who was not allowed to be the king, so as to use this as an excuse to incite Zhuyue to rebel together, who knew that the king of Chu would allow it this time.

"The king of Chu has ordered Dazai to come and congratulate him with a congratulatory gift." You don't know Chu characters, but your subordinates know them. The rudder, who read the news, read the news again and confirmed that he was not mistaken.

"What if the King of Chu sends an army to come?" The rudder's words made the Wu Zhu in a dilemma, and Lu Jian reminded the Wu Zhu to be careful of the tricks of the Chu people.

"Instead of sending troops to come, the king of Chu should personally lead the Yingshi to come. Why did the former Qiang King die? "The rudder mentioned the king of Qiang.

"The king has received the gift from the king of Qin, and if he does not fulfill his promise, the king of Qin will make someone sue the king of Chu." Last year, Lu Jian entered Qin, and the king of Qin was happy, and he gave a lot of gifts when he returned, and he brought them back.

"What about suing?" The rudder laughed. "I am the alliance of the king of Chu, Qin is the enemy of the king of Chu, who does the king of Chu believe?" After speaking, he persuaded Wu Wuzhu: "The king of Chu is generous and treats people with faith, since the king of Chu has allowed the king to be the king, the king should not turn his back on Chu to Qin." ”

"I don't attack Qin, the Qin people attack me." It took a long time for the donkey to speak. Su Kai actually died, which made him a little taboo about Qin Renzhoushi.

"The Qin people can fight in the river, in the Ze, and in the river, but not in the sea." The rudder said. "The Chu army's sea boat is slammed with artillery, how can the Qin people's boat division resist?"

Four years ago, Hong led the Haizhou gunboat to fight a diplomatic battle with the Qi Guozhou Division in Zhifu Port, and the scene of volcanic eruption and sea collapse is still engraved in the hearts of the Yue people. Su Wuzhu couldn't help but nod, what he was thinking about was not about the battle between the Chu State Haizhou gunboat and the Qin Junzhou Division, but about the Chu State Sea Boat gunboat fighting with him.

"What about King Qin's courtesy?" Lu Jian didn't dare to ignore the power of the Chu army's sea boat gunboats, but he took care of the gifts and beauties he brought back from Xianyang. He enjoyed these things, the king enjoyed them, and even the rudder.

"Return to the King of Qin." The rudder was unimpressed. "Qin Renzhoushi is in Zhifu."

"Retreat?" Lu Jian was about to say how could he return what he had enjoyed, but Su Wuzhu had already made up his mind to return King Qin's gift.

With the simple thinking of the Yue people, the matter is over when the gift is returned. Four days later, Tian Pu, who was stationed in Zhifu Harbor, heard that his subordinates had told the Yue people to send some women, gold and jade, and brocade silk to the shore. ”

"This must be the king of Chu, Yunyu, and no one is called the king." Wu Shen, the former monarch of the Chu State, was also in Zhifu, and he took the only remaining cronies and dead soldiers, and prepared to go south to Wu with Tian Pu to restore the Wu State. "I thought that General Tian should quickly march to Langya, and then go down from Langya, seal Huaikou, pull out Zhu Fang, and avoid the road of the king of Chu."
