Chapter 87 Meeting
Facing Qin, no one can escape. Before the Qin army came, whether it was Chu, Yue, or all tribes, they had to prepare for the final war and prepare for the final war. Xiong Jing's words had to express this meaning. Even though the Chu army has won one victory after another, the number of soldiers who can really fight is not more and more, but fewer and fewer.
Compared with the Chu army, the Qin army was just not adapted to such tactics. When studying the various information collected from the war during this period, the Qin army was actually constantly changing. The chief spear and stone armor that appeared in the Battle of Gangkok are representative of it. The difference between spears, bronze weapons and giant iron weapons is not much different, and they are all poking; of course, the stone armor does not have the protection effect of giant armor, but it is much better than leather armor.
In addition to the armor, there is tactics. In the past, the Qin army often scattered the formation and fought to facilitate the snatch of the heads. This time, the Qin army did not scattered the formation and fought. Although their chief spear formation was not as good as the Chu army, they already looked like a spear formation.
The information from Zhibi shows that in addition to large-scale manufacturing of four-wheeled carriages, Shaofu is also trying to produce new large wings. A hard impact must have a keel that runs through the central axis of the ship. Above the keel is "long" and there are ribs after ribs. The reaction force of the violent collision is distributed on the entire warship through the keel and ribs. However, it cannot be said that without the keel, there will be no collision angle. The impact is the basic tactic of water warfare. The keel only ensures that the warship will not be damaged.
In addition to the impact, there is also speed, and speed depends on the type of ship and the number of oarsmen. The reason why the new big wing has three rows of oarsmen is that it cleverly arranges the space of three people, and there is nothing unique about it. Even if the space of three oarsmen cannot be cleverly arranged, as long as the battleship is not too wide, not to mention the three oarsmen, even five oarsmen can be arranged calmly. Once the Qin State has made a large number of three oars without dragon bones and five oars, the Qin army can also cross four or five hundred miles in one day.
The road is one foot taller, and the devil is one foot taller. If the Chu army wants to defeat the Qin army, in addition to the bravery of the soldiers, they have to rely on new technologies and new tactics, but war itself is a kind of communication. This kind of communication is very real and extremely effective, because the tuition is countless blood and boneless.
The Qin army's battles are profitable and profitable, and they are flexible, and they will learn the enemy's effective tactics. The result is that the Chu army is progressing and the Qin army is also progressing. The Qin army's progress is not as good as the Chu army, but the number of Qin army has an absolute advantage. This number advantage can offset the relative tactical disadvantages of the army and armor. If all the Chu army and all the Qin army are concentrated on one battlefield to fight a decisive battle to bet on the national destiny, there is no doubt that the Chu army will be defeated.
Xiong Jing felt more and more the importance of the large-wing warship. It allowed the Chu army to concentrate its forces to defeat the Qin army one by one. Moreover, the narrow rivers made the Qin State unable to effectively maneuver even if it made three oars without dragon bones and five oars, it was impossible for the Qin State to maneuver effectively because such a ship could not withstand impact.
"King," while thinking, Chang Jiang's voice sounded in his ears. "The ministers have arrived at Yan Dynasty."
The Yan Dynasty has become a large tent. Under the tent, Yin Chengjie, Cai Duke Cai Wen, Yin Duke Shen Yinyi, Xiang Duke Xiang Que, Qi Duke Gui Xia, as well as Naojiu, Zhaoshu, Qu Sui, Song Yu, Meng Zhengqin, Guan Ye, Zimo and others have all arrived. What we want to discuss this time is still the Ao system that will be implemented.
In fact, Ao system was not Xiong Jing's method, and the first person to propose the implementation of Ao system was Zhen Yin Zimo. The reason why he mentioned this was not because his ideas were noble or retro, but because he did not like Cheng Jie to be the ruler of Chu. The position of Ling Yin was derived from King Wu. Since its establishment, his power was only under the king. The State of Chu did not implement the division of civil and military affairs like other countries. Xiong Jing now completely delegated power to Ling Yin, and Ling Yin's power was actually equal to the king.
Fighting each other is the reason for the current situation; decentralization of power is the ultimate goal of implementing the Ao system. From the proposal to the present, the meeting has been held twelve times, and each time the two sides quarreled fiercely. Yi Tu wanted to fight Cheng Jie several times and wanted to "kill the remnant of the Ruo Ao family", so he was disqualified from attending the meeting after the fifth meeting.
In the end, there were Naojiu, Zhaoshu, Qusui, and Zimo, and five husbands: Cheng Jie, Cai Wen, Shen Yinyi, Xiang Que, and Gui Xia. Song Yu and Guanyi were not surnamed Mi, so they could mediate the two sides. Although Meng Zhengqin was a prince, Zuo Yin's mansion was involved in the reform of the situation, so they had to discuss it at the next few meetings.
"I have seen the king." Seeing Xiong Jing walk into the Yan Dynasty, all the twelve ministers stood up and bowed.
"No gifts." Xiong Jing smiled. From the fifth meeting, his principle was to try to ease the atmosphere and ensure that the meeting was successful and successful. "All the ministers, after a few days of visiting and lobbying, everyone in Yue is willing to establish an alliance with me, Chu people."
Everyone knew about the Yue people for a long time. Xiong Jing said this, and the ministers had to give face and said in unison: "I congratulate the king."
"In this way, my country's rear of Chu is no longer worried." Xiong Jing felt the smell of gunpowder on both sides again. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Zimo bowed and said, "Report to the king, the 500,000 troops of Mengwu are scattered in Chu, killing the people of Chu, and making the Yin move the people."
"Hmph!" Cheng Jie looked at him immediately. "What can I do if the Song people don't obey the orders?"
"Where is the Mengwu army now?" Although Mengwu's 500,000 troops were limited to Song and would retreat after lack of food, Xiong Jing still had to ask, after all, the Qin army killed the people of Chu.
"Reported to the great king, the vanguard of the Mengwu Army has already pulled out Ping'a. The common people in the city are still unwilling to leave the city, and I have no choice but to do so." Cheng Jie said. "The common people urgently avoid the side of the Fengshui River, and now they are fine. If they do not avoid the waters, they can also avoid the wilderness. However, those who do not want to leave the city will die once the city is pulled out."
"Why don't they want to leave the city?" Xiong Jing said anxiously, and the evacuation plan was set a long time ago.
"The people of the Song Dynasty do not trust the scholars, but most believe in the ink." Cheng Jie said the whole story.
"Mo people?" The Mo people in Song, like the Confucians in Lu, were not children of the Mo family who had erect clothes and grass shoes and brass swords hanging on their waists, but scholars and powerful people who believed in Mo's studies. "Why didn't those Mo people persuade the common people to leave the city?"
"It is not Mo who do not persuade the common people to leave the city, but after the county officials were destroyed, the county was in chaos. In addition, the common people were afraid of the honorary scholars, so they were unwilling to leave the city. Mos also did not believe in the honorary scholars. If they did not leave, the common people would not leave." Cheng Jie continued.
Although the Song Dynasty was located in the south, after the Dai family reigned on the Song Dynasty, the county was not lower than that of the Wei State. Once officials were removed, the Yushi would be enfeoffed before they could be timed, and the county seat would be difficult to maintain. However, Cheng Jie also missed a little, that was the "fool" of the Song people. Yushi was originally regarded as a brutal person by the Song people. The Qin army came to die, and avoiding the brutal person was probably dead. Instead of doing so, it would be better to fight in the city.
"It's actually like this!" Xiong Jing sighed after hearing this.
"King," Song Yuqing coughed, "I'll discuss the war later, and now I'll discuss the new policy."
"Of course." Xiong Jing had to nod. No matter how great the losses in Song land were, it was just a place. What was more important than the war was that the political system of Chu State would be stabilized. He asked intently: "What do you think of the seven Ao Zhi affairs last time I discussed?"
"I have no objection." Zimo took the lead and said, this was what he proposed.
"I think it's not the case." Cheng Jie's face turned heavy. "In this way, it's like a person has seven heads. How can he deal with government affairs?"
"What's wrong with using one head a year?" Zimo refuted. "And our state of Chu only has one head, so how can there be seven heads? The recommended governance of Qiao is just the limbs of Chu."
"I think there are too many seven ao." Xiang Que disagreed with Zi Mo's point of view. His brother Xiang Yan led his army to win the Qin army in a row, and his political reputation became higher and higher. "At most, five ao, each of them is in power for one year, and then elected them in five years."
"If you do this, where will the Yue people be placed?" Zhaoshu asked. "Among the seven ao, there are two young Ao people, and three more. If there are only five Ao, and five Yue people occupy two of them, how can it be appropriate?"
Zhaoshu asked Xiang Que in one sentence. The people of Yue in the South had about one million. If they wanted to unite them, they had to give them some positions. The seven Ao who was elected to govern the affairs had to give them at least two of them. The Zheng Dynasty was the shrinking of the outer court. In addition to the minority of the witches and nobles, the nobles had to give them a certain position, according to the principle of at least one person in a tribe, they also had to give more than fifty positions.
The outer dynasty may continue to exist, but the people in the outer dynasty cannot be nobles or honorary scholars, but they can only be wealthy commoners, and the scale is tentatively limited to one soldier and one soldier. Many tribes have fewer people, but there are still 310 soldiers.
"Yue is a barbarian, and the soldiers are not as good as me, and the mouth is not as good as me. So what if I don't give them?" Shen Yinyi disdained. He was different from Xiong Jing and did not value Yue people very seriously.
"What do you mean?" Xiong Jing was displeased when he heard this. He felt that one of the biggest advantages of Aozhi was that he could quickly merge the barbarian clans like a puzzle. When they merged, they naturally had to give others rights, but the right to choose whether they were in harmony or not was himself.
"Our army will defeat the Qin army again. If we go to Daliang, the Qin people will not be able to attack me in the future. I think the king attaches too much importance to the Yue people." Shen Yinyi said.
"The king said, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. If our army is defeated in the future, where can we retreat if we do not retreat into Yue?" Nao said.
"Even if there is that day, I should retreat to Qi State." Shen Yinyi said. He had proposed an idea before, which was to merge with Qi State.
"Qi State is located on the coast, what is the depth?" Naojiu asked again.
"Cough cough." Song Yu and Guanyi coughed almost at the same time, saying that the discussion had already deviated.
"What do Cheng Qing thinks about the seven people?" Xiong Jing interrupted at the right time and asked Xiang Chengjie.
"If you consider the Yue people, you should be able to have seven people. However," Cheng Jie said, "If the Yue people are not familiar with our Chu State, how can we manage the affairs?"
"Each clan, each county and town has already contracted the taxes, and each clan is collected by itself. There should not be many things that require Yingdu to deal with. It is different in wartime, so it is naturally the head of the Chu people during wartime." Zhaoshu interrupted.
"Yue Junkai and others must know Chu State better than you and me." Naojiu also interrupted.
