Chapter 10 Headhunting
The people of Yue are about to be king, what should Wu do? Wu Shen is most concerned about. However, he is not the general of the Qin army's Zhoushi, nor is he Qin minister, but at most he is just a disciple of the Qin people. He can only suggest and have no way to order. Although Tian Pu is the general of the Zhoushi, he must have the order of General Wang Jian to attack.
The original plan was that he led the Zhou army and cooperated with the rebel Zuo Wuzhu and others to pull out Langya Port inside and outside, and then headed south to block the coast of Chu. After Wang Jian chose to confront the Chu army, Zhao Zheng, who realized that he could not immediately destroy Chu on land, immediately strengthened the sea route. The main force of the Zhou army no longer stayed at the beam of the Great Gate, and gradually turned to Zhifu.
The Qin army lost many warships in the Second Battle of Daze. In addition to the newly launched warships in the past three months, the number of warships has reached a thousand. The abandoned soldiers who were killed in the Battle of Weinan were not endless. Including the hundreds of warships that had sunk, these abandoned soldiers just filled the bottom cabins of 1,700 three-oared warships. Although the Shaofu was still building warships, the one that restricted the size of the Qin army's boat division was no longer warships, but the fully trained warships.
After the Yue people returned to the rituals, Zhao Ying, the Marquis of Wudu, came east to Zhifu within a few days. There were more than 400 warships heading east together. These warships and 300 warships from Tian Pu, could not be stationed in the entire Zhifu Port, and could only be stationed on the coast outside Zhifu Port. The Yellow Sea in February was still turbulent. Whenever the waves surged, these warships that fell outside Zhifu Port were like the rushing warships on the battlefield, rising and falling with the tide.
"If you look at Shaohai Fengshui, I think you should send troops in the late this month; but if you want to stop the Jing people from evading, you should send troops at this time, otherwise it will not be enough." Tian Pu suggested in Zhifu Port, sitting in the seat where his father had sat before.
"No. Shaohai is not a river. Such a big wave, half of the hands are dizzy and dizzy. How can we fight?" Yang Duanhe was still in a state of seasickness. From Jishui to Zhifu, the boatman actually walked for ten days, with an average of more than 80 miles a day. The Qin people's endurance was strong, but the waves in the sea were wave after wave. This was not the rippling kind of river, and most of the soldiers were seasick.
"The subordinate has a plan." Zhao Ying frowned, and Tian Pu hurriedly bowed.
"What's the plan?" Zhao Ying, Yang Duanhe, and Wang Ao who arrived with the Zhou army, Wu Ji looked at Tian Pu together.
"The people of Qi are not afraid of wind and waves. The so-called 'When a fisherman enters the sea, the sea is deep, and the waves are going against the current, and he lives in danger for a hundred miles and stays at night without leaving'. If the general can summon Qi people to use his hands to use it..." Tian Pu's plan was not to connect the warships with iron ropes, but his method was to recruit Qi people who were not afraid of wind and waves.
"Where is the Qi people's stern hand?" Zhao Ying was not worried about who the stern hand was. He believed that even the Chu people could use it for his own use with the Qin army system.
"There are many outside Zhifu Port." Tian Pu said. "But they have no clothes and no food or food, and no place to stand..."
There were no landlords of the Qin Dynasty. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the rule of the nobles has penetrated into the countryside, and the basic implementation of the land system was the system of granting land. The aristocrats may occupy a lot of land, but these lands will be granted to common people to cultivate according to the number of households under their jurisdiction. The land is limited, and it has been raised for hundreds of years, and the common people are infinite. In the Qi State, where fertile land is sparse, the final result is that those with fields work and those without land work. This has to be praised for the wisdom of the Qi people. They followed the tradition of merchants to resolve the people-land conflicts that are difficult to resolve in other countries.
The Qin army captured half of Qi, and the officials of Qi were against Chu and favored Qin. The trade between Qi and Chu - Chu paid money to buy goods from Qi, and Qi got money to buy grain from Wei - was immediately bankrupt. Previously, Wang Jian abandoned his son's mother's money, and those who joined the army gave land (grabbed the land of other common people), and the poor who had no work to do flock to it for a while. However, that was the land occupied by the Qin army. Zhifu Port was east of the Wei River, and Qi was in Qi. The land granted here would inevitably affect the Qin and Qi alliance.
"This matter needs to be reported to the king and the lieutenant, and then the decision is made." Zhao Ying was not a person who was ignorant of the importance of the matter. He, the Marquis of Wudu, could only decide on small matters. "The soldiers of each boat were dizzy and said, so they would take a break for a few days before going to sea to fight."
Zhao Ying spoke with anger, finally waved the generals away, and immediately picked up the pottery on the wooden table and vomited. The soldiers were seasick, and he, the general of the boat, was also seasick. On the way to Zhifu, he finally understood the difference between the big siege and the sea: there were only a moment of wind and waves on the big siege, but the wind and waves on the sea were endless. Thinking of paddling on the top of the evil waves and fighting with the Jing people in Shaohai, he began to have some worries. Could it be that he could only recruit Qi people to take action?

"We need to compete with the kings of Yue?" At Langya Port, Zuo Wuzhu stared at the Dazai Jin Yi and became angry. Jin Yi brought a generous gift, but unlike the news a few days ago, the King of Chu had the conditions to promise himself to be king.
"The king is afraid of fighting with others, and dares to ask how he convinces the people? How can he be the king?" Jin Yi didn't care about Zuo Wuzhu's anger at all. He knew the nature of Yue people very well.
"Ah, ah!" Zuo Wuzhu seemed to have suffered great insults. As soon as he opened his mouth, he roared on the spot. "Who am I afraid of? Who am I afraid of? Then the martial arts competition will be a martial arts competition! Then the martial arts competition will be a martial arts competition!"
"My Yue people do not win by fighting." Zuo Dun noticed the conspiracy and hurriedly stopped it. "My Yue people only win by hunting."
"Good." Jin Yi didn't care whether the kings of Yue competed with martial arts or headhunters. "Then the one who hunted for more headhunters was the winner. The Qin people were in Zhifu at this time. If the king wanted to be the king, please go to Zhifu with you in a single boat. The limit is twelve days, and return to Langya within twelve days. The one who hunted for more headhunters was the king."
Jin Yi said this to Zuo Wuzhu alone, but also to Zuo Zhuan from Ouyue, the public teacher from Nanyue, and Zuo Fushan from Luoyue. They all have the blood of the Yue people and are qualified to become King of Yue.
"If there are many headhunters as kings, how is this different from having sex?" Zuo Fushan and others were shocked when they heard that the Chu people wanted to establish Zuo Wuzhu as king. After asking, Shouying replied to this matter, he could ask the Dazai Jin Yi. Several people had to wait patiently for Jin Yi. Martial competition was the way for Chu people to prove bravery, and headhunter was the way for Yue people to prove bravery. It was difficult for them to accept being kings.
"What's wrong with the brave being the king?" Zuo Wuzhu wished he could rush to Zhifu in a canoe, behead all the Qin people there, and then carry all the wind and waves back. Seeing that the others were unwilling, he was immediately displeased.
"Although the brave are kings, Yue people always practice the rule of gods. Kings should not bully the weak and seize other people's land, divine wealth and wealth. If this happens, gods will be punished, and Da Ao will also kill them." Jin Yi said again. This made Zuo Fushan and others breathe a sigh of relief. They did want to be King Yue in their hearts, but they were worried that others would become King Yue and kill themselves in the end.
"All the land of Yue is under the southern heaven; all the land of Yue is the minister of Yue." Zuo Duo felt that things were not good. "Since the king of Yue is the land of Yue, the land of Yue is the land of Yue, and the people of Yue are the people of Yue."
"The words of the people of Zhou are so great!" Jin Yi shook his head repeatedly. "The underworld of the sky is the land of the gods; the shore of the earth is the gods. The cities, land, subjects and livestock are all owned by gods, not owned by kings. Gods give them to others, and only people can have them. If they are not what people want, even if they are kings, they cannot be taken away. Otherwise, the weak kings who despise God will be killed."
Jin Yizhi's words made Zuo Fu feel kind and heartbroken. No one has ever refuted the royal power from the perspective of a god. Jin Yi magically linked the gods with private wealth, and as long as it was a robbery, it would be a blasphemy of the gods. Zuo Dun's face became less and less beautiful. He was called king to facilitate the control of the resources and soldiers of Yue, so that the Yue Kingdom would become stronger. Otherwise, what's the point of becoming king?
"Although the king is brave, if this courage is just to seize other people's money and land, it will be a despicable person." Jin Yi also said that there is no way to Zuo.
Zuo Wuzhu didn't understand what kind of gods and kings there were. He said with the instinct of a brave man: "How could I be as greedy for his wealth as merchants!"
"Your Majesty!" The lord, who knew that he had been fooled by Chu, hurriedly stopped him. He asked Jin Yi again: "The land of Yue is not the land of King Yue, and the people of Yue are not the people of King Yue. How can there be such a king in the world?! This is..."
"I am such a king." Jin Yi retorted. "Your and others want to return to Yue, but the kings of Yue are the alliance between us, Chu people. If anyone bullies the weak and takes away their private wealth, they will save them. Moreover, because the customs of Yue people are not what people want, robbing private wealth is a blasphemy of the gods. Yue people hate it, Chu people hate it, Song people, and Ba people also hate it."
"If the king is the king, I, Luoyue, would like to congratulate each other every year with ten pairs of rice, ten pairs of ivory, five boats of fruits, and hundreds of beads of sea beads." Zuo Fu Shan is old, and Luoyue's power is weaker than Zhuyue. He is the first to express his willingness to pay tribute.
"If you are the king, I would like to congratulate you every year with thousands of stones of rice, twenty ivory, ten boats of fruits, and thousands of pounds of frankincense." The public master said that Panyu Port is becoming more and more prosperous, and his offerings are obviously less.
"If anyone is king, I congratulate you..." Zuo Zhuan was a competitor of the throne. He was unwilling to pay so little tribute to Yue, and was also glad that Joseph paid so little tribute to Yue. The key was who was king of Yue. "There must be no less than less, and no more than more."
"Hmph!" Zuo Wuzhu stared at him, and was very dissatisfied when he said this.
"I am the same as Yu Yue." Yu Yue is the real root of Yue Kingdom, and this root is in Kuaiji. Zou Bu, the son of Zuo Kai, was still in Badi, and Yu Yue only had a doctor with Jin. He promised to pay tribute, but did not admit that Zuo Wuzhu was king.
"If you want to be the king, please go to Zhifu and hunt for the head, and those who are timid should not be the king." All the kings of Yue expressed their attitude. They were willing to recognize the King of New Yue and were willing to pay tribute to the King of New Yue. Jin Yi made a stimulating sentence when he saw this.
"Please prove Dazai, I'm willing to go!" Zuo Zhuan was the first to agree, and he would give it a try no matter what.
"Please prove it, I'm willing to go!" The master shouted deliberately, knowing that he couldn't win.
"Please ask the Dazai to prove it, and I am willing to go." Zuo Fushan is the same as the public servant. He has to go even if he can't win. This matter is related to the survival of Luoyue.
"Today we should pay homage to the gods, and we will leave the port tomorrow. Within twelve days, the number of headhunters will be King Yue." Jin Yi looked at Zuo Wuzhu who was blocked by Zuo Ruler and said with a smile.
