Chapter 83 What day

The sigh made people sad. Xiong Jing was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. Leaving this land and rowing boats to islands thousands of miles away was not a good choice no matter how you look at it.

But reality is always helpless. During the period when Xiong Jing went south to Xiangyang from Juancheng, the combat officer Cao came up with another plan, namely the reconstruction of the large-wing gunboat. Cao Jingfei believed that the new gunboat would definitely defeat the Qin people, and as long as the new gunboat was quickly modified to form a certain scale, but in his and Li Qi's view, the situation was irreversible.

As for what Naojiu said about the key points of guarding the waterway, Li, who proposed this method, has completely rejected it. This is not a technical issue, a blocking issue, a tactical issue, or a strategic issue.

The most critical problem at the moment is that the Chu State lost its strategic initiative. The result of losing its strategic initiative will regain confidence in Qin State. They will launch a large-scale and extremely rapid attack, and rely solely on the current forces to resist. At the same time, under this situation, the trust between allies becomes difficult to guarantee. The wall is falling and everyone pushes it. Qi State is uneasy, and some tribes are uneasy.

The only thing we can do now is to migrate as soon as possible, rather than relying on some hope to turn the tide. According to Li Qi's estimate, Qin will attack like a mountain of Tai this year. If you are lucky, Chu will be able to defend the Huai River line. If you are not lucky, you can only defend the Yangtze River line. By next year, Chu will be destroyed. Li Qi's judgment is not right. His judgment is a little different from Li Qi's judgment, and he thinks that the situation can be maintained until the next year.

Both of them believed that the next step for the Qin people to attack was Daliang. Daliang was a strong city, the south city and the north city were all built with concrete, and they were not as afraid of flooding as Chen Ying. The defenders of the two cities had deep hatred with the Qin people, and surrender was impossible. They would only fight to the death. How did the Qin people capture such a strong city? Xiong Jing really couldn't think of any other way except to use human lives to fill it.

It takes at least one year for the Qin army to attack Daliang. It takes another year for the Qin army to attack Daliang from the river to attack Huai River and seize Shouying; it takes another year for the third year for the Yangtze River, Huainan, and the East China Sea to besiege Jiuying and Jiangdong. Is this really the case?

The court's proposal to avoid evasion was basically completed. Most court officials were satisfied with this theoretically feasible plan and agreed that the Luyang Jun was in charge of the matter. Next month, a more detailed plan was proposed to allocate all non-private boats in the country based on the number of soldiers.

At the same time, in addition to Chu and Yue, Chu State also had to negotiate this matter with the Ba people, Zhao people, Wei people, Qi people, and Han people. After all, they were allied countries. They resisted Qin and resisted Qin together, and avoided evasion together. If they could not build fishing boats, Chu State could send people to teach them; without big seals and iron materials, Chu State could sell these raw materials at a fair price.

Yue people were most interested in avoiding the evacuation. At the end of the discussion, they made many useful and technical suggestions. The most exciting thing was that they thought they would not take time and effort to build fishing boats. One canoe is enough. If there were a few families, then build an extra canoe, and the two boats were connected by wooden boards, and what equipment, livestock, and food were stored on the boards.

There were so many people in the court, but Xiong Jing knew that the Yue people were really not kidding. The Malay sailors who crossed the red ocean to sell cinnamon were driving such canoes, dragging their families and their families to appear in the waves.

According to historical records, the smallest tonnage of Xiamen, the Chinese wooden sailboat across the Pacific, was 21:03 meters long, 5:79 meters wide, 1:58 meters deep, and the registered tonnage was only a pitiful twenty-three:13 tons. The crew and the captain had only seven people. After construction was completed in 1922, it set off from Xiamen, and stopped in Shanghai, Hakodate, Hokkaido, and Aleutian Adak Island, and finally arrived at Victoria Harbor, Canada.

A smaller tonnage than Xiamen is a Fubo 2 ship named Fubo 2, which is also built in Xiamen. The ship's displacement is only 12 tons that are unbelievable, similar to the displacement of the Chu fishing boat. In 1933, it departed from Xiamen and passed through the Philippine Islands, Palau Islands, Indonesia, western Australia, Central Indian Ocean, northeastern Australia, Solomon Islands, Santa Cruz Island, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, and Hawaii.

Fubo 2 did not take the North Pacific route, but the South Pacific route. Unfortunately, this Chinese Fubo ship with a displacement of only 12 tons was damaged by a hurricane when it was anchored in Hawaii in 1935, and ultimately failed to complete the voyage across the Pacific.

The Chu people were plain tribes, and the Yue people were marine tribes. The different customs and beliefs made the two sides' cognitions on sailing differently. Xiong Jing could not tell the ministers in the court that the fishing boats of Chu could not only sail along the coast to Penglai, but also cross the blue ocean and sail to the warm city of Dongzhou. Of course, these are all details. When it comes to a critical moment, as long as they can migrate more people, not to mention canoes, rafts must be used.

Xiangyang City Yin Mansion, the court decided on the national policy of migration. In Xianyang, more than ten days later, there was no towering Qin Palace, and Zhao Zheng, who lived in the curtain, was looking at the general in front of him.

This was a military controversy. Taking advantage of the slightest period of the war, Zhao Zheng summoned Wang Jian, who was far away in Qi. In addition to Wang Jian, there were also the deputy general An Qi who was temporarily leading the army after Li Xin's death, Zhao Yong, who was attacking Wuguandao, surrounded Meng Tian from Nanzheng, attacking Bai Lin from Zhudi, and defeated Zhao Ying, Yang Duanhe, Tian Pu, who was a humble boy in Chu State, and who had become a general of the Qi army in Qin.

These are the generals with heavy troops and the sharpest minions of the Qin Dynasty. They took the risk of delaying the war and recalled these people back to Xianyang in order to overall correct the direction of the Qin war machine, aim it at the key points of the Chu State, and fight in the most efficient way.

Over the past ten years, the most valuable experience gained from the war with Chu is not to give Chu time. Once Chu is given time, unexpected new tactics or deadly weapons will appear in Chu, which can often change the direction of the war.

In other words, the war with the Chu people is not a simple repetition and stacking of numbers, not available this time, effective tactics and weapons will continue to be available next time, effective. The tactics and weapons in the war are constantly improving and endless. The Qin army is a good 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 east land is the foundation of the Jing people. The Jing people all came from the east land. Only by attacking and attacking the east land can Jing be quickly destroyed." An Qi reposted Li Xin's last words. Although Zhao Zheng had read Li Xin's last letter several times, he still listened quietly. "If you want to attack the east land of Jing, you must first pull out the Wei Liang. Daliang is a strong city. The Jing people built it with concrete soil and huge iron tendons. The Wei people said that they were not afraid of water attacks or witch medicines.

The general thought that the Wei people's words were unreliable. If the witches blow up mountains and crack stones, how could the city walls block the city walls? The beams were not built on the mountains and rocks, but were built between the ponds. Although the city walls were solid, the city foundation might not be solid. Our army should lead the river water to attack Daliang. If the Daliang was pulled out, the boat army could go south along the Honggu River. The east land was the foundation of the Jing people. If our army entered the east land, we could make an appointment with King Jing to fight, and King Jing would agree to it."

"Why is King Jing?" Zhao Ying, who defeated the Chu army again, has been granted the title of marquis, and his status is far above the generals. Li Xin is the general of the Lingshi Division, and the appointment of a battle must be a land battle, not a water battle.

"The General once said that King Jing regards himself as brave and will not want the Qin army to attack the foundation of Jing State. King Jing does not allow it, and the army of Jing will be young and young, so you can force King Jing to fight." An Qi replied, his words made Zhao Zheng frown slightly.

"It's indeed feasible." Wei Liao, the national guard, was pale and his hair was pale, but his expression was relaxed. "But I heard that the people of Jing had decided to avoid me in the East China Sea and migrated to Penglai."

"Penglai?!" The most surprised of the generals was Tian Pu. He was from Qi and was most familiar with Penglai.

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

"Reported to the King, the Guowei, Penglai is located in the deep sea. The fisherman and the alchemist say that Penglai, the abbot, Yingzhou is the island of immortals, and there are immortals living on it." Tian Pu said. "The Jing people's seas lead to the world, or know how to go here, so they migrate to the island."

"Can you know how many miles Penglai is from Qi State?" Wei Liao was not satisfied with the answer and continued to ask.

"I don't know." Tian Pu shook his head as he answered. "Although there are rumors that someone has come to Penglai, I have never seen it."

When the State of Chu was defeated, the world was in decline. Qin was like a deaf patient, and he became clear-headed overnight. The general content of the court discussion in Xiangyang City Yinfu spread to Xianyang in all aspects. If it were before, it would have been impossible.

Zhao Zheng was very taboo about this. The migration plan of Chu was not only Chu, but also Zhao, Wei and Qi, as well as the Ba people and Baiyue. They were evading today and would fight back and restore the country in the future. There were Qiang people and Chu army troops in Longxi, and there were Zhao and Hu people on the grassland. Once these three forces united in the future, they would inevitably shake the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.

Today, the Qin Dynasty is strong, and the Qin Dynasty is still strong in the future? Zhao Zheng did not believe in this at all. The greedy officials ate the Qin Dynasty's body like borers. If these three forces cannot be eliminated or completely contained in his hands, the Qin Dynasty will be torn apart one day by them.

"I want to quickly destroy Jing Kingdom, who can take on this important task?" Zhao Zheng asked as he looked at the general in the tent. When the generals opened their lips and wanted to ask for his life, he added: "When will the Jing Kingdom be destroyed?"

"I am willing to take on this responsibility and rely on the warship to destroy Jing Kingdom in one year." Zhao Ying spoke unwillingly.

"I am also willing to take on this responsibility. It will take two years to destroy Jing Kingdom." Meng Tian was one step slower, with one year more conditions than Zhao Ying.

After the two of them answered, the remaining generals wanted to say but didn't say anything. They all turned to look at Wang Jian. The generals looked at Wang Jian, and Zhao Zheng also looked at Wang Jian. The generals who were the only ones, only Li Xin and Wang Jian were left after Meng Wu's death. After Li Xin's death, only Wang Jian was left.
