Chapter 14 Countercurrent
The capital of Qi Jimo is on the bank of the Xixin River, 140 miles north of Qingdao Bay. The Xixin River is close to Mo, so this city facing the river is named Jimo. The Qin army was overwhelmed by a large army, and 300,000 elite troops were defeated in one battle. The Qi and Qin State had no strong force could only allow the Qin State to be fish and meat. It was inevitable that Qi and Qin would be together, and it would be inevitable that they would bear Chu and marry Qin.
However, the Qin people who endured humiliation and bowed their heads and began to tear up the alliance before the Chu State was destroyed. This was really cold. Jimo was in charge, and there was no one on the king's seat, and the prime minister Tianfu was nowhere to be seen. The doctors talked fiercely and were passionately. Everyone was insulting Qin State and insulting the King of Qin, and they were warmly greeting the ancestors of the Qin people.
He started to eat early and scolded until he was in the middle of the corner. When he felt hungry, the doctors finally found something wrong. The king who should have seen the court disappeared, and Tian Jian, who was in charge of the throne, was nowhere to be seen. He looked at each other in a glance. The voice of Shuzi spread from outside the throne to the throne: "The prime minister is dead! The prime minister is dead! The prime minister is dead..."
"Xingbang... is dead?" The doctors were shocked. They were still doing well yesterday, but they actually died today.
They were still surprised, and a shout came from a farther place. The sound was not true, faintly, as if the wind was whistling, or as if thunder was passing by in the low altitude, endless noise. After a while, everyone could hear the shouts in the breeze, and everyone couldn't help but tremble.
"Borrow Chu and Qin, kill the traitors! Borrow Chu and Qin, kill the traitors! Borrow Chu and Qin, kill the traitors..."
The streets of Jimo are crowded with angry people. There are merchants, butchers, craftsmen, and common people. They either hold iron swords, swing butchers, or wield butchers, holding wooden pestles, or carrying hoes on their shoulders. While shouting, they gather at the royal city south of the city.
There is no Gaomen in the Jimo royal city, only the thaw gate. The crowds of people gathered to the court in front of the thaw gate, and the shouts turned into crying, and the lung stones were also full of people. According to the Zhou rites, those who had wronged were only allowed to stand on the lung stone for three days, and the soldiers listened to the emperor to report to the emperor. In fact, for only three days, tens of thousands of people gathered outside to shout at the court. The royal city had already known it, but the palace gate was always closed, and the soldiers on the high palace side of the door were still motionless, allowing the crowd outside to cry and scream.
If you have a good friend to the State of Chu, the common people have a hard time making a living, but you still have some food to eat. If you have a good friend to the State of Qin, the Qin people asked for contributions, most of the domestic workshops were closed and the craftsmen were displaced. Now the Qin people have abolished their children's money and seized the common people's land to give them to their soldiers. People who still have some surplus food can't help it.
Among the countries, Qi was the most developed financially and had borrowed money very early. If they did not repay their mother's money, they still had children's money. However, the Qin people abandoned their children's money, and countless proprietors would collapse. If they did not complain and kill the traitors, they would also destroy their families. For those with proprietors, farmers were afraid that the Qin people would seize the land. In Qi, where "the land was scattered and the grain was less", there was a piece of land that was the result of bloody struggles of more than ten generations. How could the Qin people scattered the land? Without the land, the workshop closed again, where did the whole family get food and clothing?
"Borrowing Chu and Qin, killing the traitors! Borrowing Chu and Qin, killing the traitors..." No doctor came out to listen to the words, nor did the temple servants come out to ask questions. The crowd in the court gradually became angry and shouted even more violently.
What they didn't know was that more than a hundred officials in charge of the court outside the royal palace were also shouting loudly. The common people rioted outside, obviously to take the lives of these "traitors". Tian Fu, the one who took the blame, committed suicide, and they could only ask King Tian Jian of Qi. But like the palace gate that was closed, the road gate was also closed. Tian Jian didn't want to see them at all. He was visiting the Chu envoy Quguang at this time.
"The Queen of Chu really went to Penglai with the boat?" Tian Jian ignored government affairs for a long time. Since he had achieved immortality, he had no regrets.
"Yes." Qi and Chu were in a bad relationship again, but Qu Guang knew why Qi and Chu were in a bad relationship. He believed that the two countries would eventually stand together. "The East China Sea was very stormy, and Queen Ao was worried about the boy on the boat, so he went to Xinying together. He said: 'I heard that Xinying was built on the platform, the sea is in the west, and the lake is in the east, and there are many peach blossoms on the platform, and the spring is very beautiful. Now I tried sailing with the boy to go out to sea and went to Xinying to enjoy the peach blossoms. What's the difference between welcoming spring in Shangsi?"
"Penglai is far away, the sea is vast, and the storm is uncertain. How could it be that the spring is welcome?" Tian Jian shook his head repeatedly. Qi State is right by the sea, and all the kings of Qi like to sail out to sea. How could he not know the wind and waves on the sea?
"Although it is not for the Spring Festival to welcome the spring, there is no going or returning." Qu Guang smiled. "As Queen Ao said, Xinying East Lake and West Sea, peach blossoms are in full swing, and the enthronement plan has been discussed for a long time before the site was established. Although it is desolate, it is better to have no military affairs. Between the lake and sea, the water is clear and beautiful, and the flowers are as rich as brocade, like a fairyland on earth. When you live, you should not know the years on earth.
I am willing to go to Penglai with the king, and the king is willing to live in Xinying, and can live in Xinying. If I do not want to live in Xinying, there is still a plain thousands of miles northeast of Xinying, which is more than four hundred miles long from north to south, more than twenty miles wide from east to west, and about five million mu of land. In addition, the mountains and ridges and the place is three hundred miles away, can move millions of people. However, there is more snow in winter and the plains are more watery."
Revagon is talking about the Echigo Plain northwest of Abbot Island. This plain is not on the Blue Ocean side, but on the Qionghai side, and is located north than the Kanto Plain with water crisscrossing water. The Chu people don’t want such a plain, and it will be too cold to go beyond the north, so this plain will not be considered since its discovery.
"I wish to borrow this 300-mile land from the king to settle the people who are evading." Vulcan said last.
"I'm going to borrow it to me?" Tian Jian thought when he heard it. Could it be that the islands had all been returned to the Chu people?
"That's right." As he expected, Revang nodded. "The widow has ordered people to set up pillars on the island to worship, and the three islands are all the lands of Chu. If the king wants to live there, he can borrow it with the king."
"How many radius of the three islands?" Tian Jian asked.
"The three islands are more than a thousand miles away, which is greater than the Jiangdong of the bad city." Qun Guang's answer shocked Tian Jian. The Yangma Island he knew was only a hundred miles away, and only four Jimo cities. But the three islands are more than a thousand miles away, which is actually greater than the Jiangdong of the Chu State. This is amazing.
"The King of Chu has already opened up more than a thousand miles of land!" Tian Jian sighed after being surprised. He couldn't compare with the King of Chu. He didn't even mention the land, but he also lost land frequently. Fortunately, he was immortal. Otherwise, when he went to Huangquan, how could he meet his ancestors?
"The world is a hundred times larger than the world. The nations compete for this narrow land, just like a frog in the well. The King of Qin wants to seize the land of the nations for himself, so why don't the nations move overseas to save the country?" Qu Guang said with a smile what he wanted to say most during this trip. From then on until he left, Tian Jian was depressed.
The Qin people now regard the alliance letter as waste paper, and Qi will inevitably be destroyed after the fall of Chu. According to the doctors, they did not really want Qin to surrender to Qin, they just didn't want Qin to destroy Qi first. This is the case. When Qi and Qin talked about alliance, the Qin army would be transferred westward, and Qi would be safe immediately. Tian Jian didn't know that the doctors were only half of the words. The alliance stabilized the situation and prompted Qin to attack Chu. The doctors asked Chunyu Yue to join Qin to offer advice. As long as the King of Qin agreed to sign the prince of Qin as the King of Qi, everything would be safe.
Do the doctors care if the prince of Qin is the king of Qi? The doctors probably don’t have time to be happy. As long as the people of Qi do not object, the most suitable king is actually a pig. Pigs are good, they can eat, sleep and mate, but they will not think randomly, nor will they work hard to do their best and work hard to govern. Is this what the king can do? This is probably the king of sages like a king. Such a pig king is not only the blessing of the nobles of Qi, but also the blessing of the common people of Qi.
However, the doctors' plan was only half successful. The King of Qin completely refused Chunyu Yue's lobbying. The State of Chu even went to sea in person. It seems that the State of Chu would be destroyed after supporting it for two years. The State of Chu would definitely be Qi. If it could not defeat the Qin people, it would not deceive the King of Qin. What should Qi do? Who can I really have to avoid moving to Penglai with Chu people?
In Jimo, Qidu, which was about to pass away in winter, because of the Qin people's backing, and because of the uncertain future, the reins of the carriage in Qi gradually broke out from the control of the doctors, and the entire city surged against the current. In the turbulent Yellow Sea, led by a new Suzaku-class ship, twelve chaotic sea boats with sailing high and closed gun doors lined up in a column, and the sails were sailing in the sinister wind and waves.
The sailing warships can never sail into the six erectile slugs with the wind direction (1 erectile slugs = 11.25 degrees, and the six erectile slugs with the six erectile slugs with the wind direction (78.75 degrees), so that warships that make mistakes when driving down the wind can have the opportunity to rush to the right position. The well-trained French fleet (before the Great Revolution), can launch the windward direction of the six erectile slugs with the wind.
The warship sailed in the wind and needed to be constantly adjusted. Crabs were used to move forward. However, thanks to the terrain of the Yellow Sea - a straight line was drawn between the easternmost end of Yangma Island and the corner of Chengshan, which was 40 degrees north-west; while the northeast monsoon was about 35 degrees north-east, and the two angles were already 75 degrees. This means that as long as the warship left the port, as long as it went to the easternmost end of Yangma Island, there was no need to be like crabs, and you could drive outside Zhifu Port directly to complete the surprise attack of Grand Sima Junyun.
The fleet had sailed a few days before the trial sailing of the boat. They did not constantly adjust their sails towards Yangma Island. According to Xiong Jing's wishes, they sailed directly to the ocean north of Yizhou and rely on the black tide to push northward. After arriving east of Yangma Island, the fleet maintained six and a half points of charcoal points, and sailed toward the corners of the mountain.
The three-legged Golden Crow that Shen Yinshang rode on was later than the fleet, but the black tide speed was only two knots, and the warship sailed against the wind speed did not exceed six knots. The three-legged Golden Crow, which was sailing in the wind speed of more than ten knots, quickly met with the fleet and led twelve Chaos-class gunboats to Zhifu Port where the Qin army sailors were stationed.
Everyone in the world knows that sea boats can only travel with the wind but not against the wind, but they don’t know that warships can face (counter) wind. The warships are very slow in the wind, and only six knots are nailed to the copper bottom. The actual speed is 2.3 knots (sin(1-67.5)≈0.39), and often there are only two poor knots. However, Shen Yinshang fully believes that the Qin people will not be prepared before he ordered the firing of the artillery. Therefore, he placed the bombardment time during the day with good vision.
