Chapter 242: The Jin People's Sense of Mission

The nobles of the Jin Kingdom generally had a sense of mission.

They see themselves as defending the continuation of civilization, and they have the same spirit and pride that the rest of the nations do not have.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Not only the Jin Kingdom has such a sense of mission, but the countries that previously dominated also have the same mind.

I don't know how many years ago, the Zhou royal family divided the world.

The division of the Zhou royal family is not to lay down a piece of territory and appoint who to enjoy.

They need to bring their own men and go to a place where the first thing they encounter is the resistance of the local natives.

If someone wants to come and announce who a certain piece of land belongs to, can the locals say yes?

That's definitely not going to be promised!

This is a life-and-death struggle, winning and taking all, and pulling down to death.

Groups of natives were exterminated and annexed, or one of the incoming princes died.

After so much time, the former village chief has repeatedly fought against other races, and has to fight for his life with heaven and earth, becoming the mayor, mayor, and high-ranking official.

I don't know how many aliens were wiped out in the process.

I don't know how many people have died in the struggle with nature.

The pattern has gradually come to the present.

The Jin state was not the first prince to dominate among the nations, and had several predecessors.

The former overlord is not to say.

The historical mission of the Jin State was to compete with the Chu State for hegemony.

Once the Jin Kingdom lost, it represented the civilization led by the Zhou royal family and lost to the barbarians.

Barbarism certainly refers to the state of Chu.

The key is that the Chu State is actually not barbaric, it is difficult to say who is good and who is bad in terms of system, and even better than the countries of the Central Plains in some technical aspects.

Lu Wu, who was in the military tent, heard the word "civilization" again and again.

In his understanding, civilization is, of course, an extremely high level.

It's just wondering, when is it now, and why is there a civilization war?

People in later generations, if they don't understand, will think that East Asia is a family at the beginning, but with the time of separation, the blood relationship between the bosses of each family has faded, and they have entered the stage of life and death.

Lu Wu also thought so at first.

However, the truth is far more complicated than you think.

Seriously chattering, the absurd and unscrupulous Di Xin can only have three sons, but the great, bright and righteous Xibo Hou Jichang has more than twenty sons. (Rumors are more than a hundred.) )

The old Zhou family is actually not in the right position.

Not all of the vassal states came from the Lao Ji family.

The old Yin family is expanding the territory, and what to talk about fighting for the nation is what future generations will say.

What Di Xin wanted was to increase the living space of the Shang people, so he punched Dongyi and kicked Nanban.

With Xiqi, Beisu, Nanchu, Yong, and Lu...... Wait for the princes, it really doesn't matter.

They are just worshipping Yin Shang as their co-masters.

Why do you say that Xiqi is not in the right place?

What the Lao Ji family has been doing for generations is to operate the character design, while secretly smearing Yin Shang.

And Lao Ji's family is the courtier of Yin Shang!

Attacking the lord with a minister, no matter what era it is, is a crime of the following.

Lao Ji's family did not hesitate to bribe and bribe with a lot of money, and how happy they were to see that Di Xin was at odds with the ministers of the interior, and even went to challenge religion with all his might.

At that time, anything could be challenged, but we had to be cautious about religion.

What did Lao Ji's family rely on to start a business? It is to hold the feet of some gods and spokesmen, do what Fengming Qishan, and rely on auspiciousness to increase their aura.

They took advantage of the fact that the main force of Yin Shang was out to steal the house, but they succeeded.

Instead of relying on a real way to gain the status of the leader, Chaoge fell, and the human king Emperor Xin also died by self-immolation.

Why didn't the Lao Ji family completely destroy Yin Shang, and even divided the original territory of Yin Shang to Di Xin's son?

It needs to be involved in the matter of "businessmen don't eat Zhou Su".

It turns out that the merchant is in love with Dixin.

Lao Ji's family relies on the position of operating people, many princes may not be convinced, their own strength can not beat everything, and then the main force of the businessman is still there, so he can only choose to appease the businessman.

There are too many two or five boys in the businessman, especially Di Xin's two sons also jumped back, or Xiqi may not be able to become the leader.

And in this way, later there were princes who were willing to help the descendants of Yin Shang set things right, but they didn't succeed.

Speaking of Erwuzai, Lu Wu found that the ancestor he was arranged, that is, Bigan, seemed to be a Erwuzai?

He was very glad that there were not too many two or five boys within Yin Shang.

For example, Lu Shang, that is, the fishing Jiang Taigong, he is actually also a Shang clansman.

The famous Jiang Taigong is one.

Confucius, who was later canonized, that is, Confucius, was actually a Shang ancestor.

There were ancients in the past, and there were people in the future, which is worthy of Lu Wu's happiness.

Sometimes, he was thinking about whether to hack Yin Shang from time to time.

After all, whether it is Jiang Taigong in front or Sage Kong in the back, seizing the opportunity is definitely to black Yin Shang.

Lu Wu pondered that he was also famous in history, should he maintain his formation?

Regardless of the past.

It is a truth that the winner is king.

It's just that Lao Ji's family is now in decline, and it has only become a signboard.

I have to say that the signboard of Lao Ji's house is actually quite easy to use now.

The replacement of the old monarch of the vassal state, without the process of the Zhou royal family sending the minister to give elbow meat, will be criticized!

This elbow meat is, in other words, the crown on Europa's side.

Without Zhou Tianzi's elbow meat, believe it or not, the surrounding vassal states would dare to send troops to swallow it?

The state of Chu already existed during the Yin Shang period, and whether they became the courtiers of the Yin Shang cannot be examined.

What can be confirmed is that the state of Chu was not a vassal state divided by the Zhou royal family at the beginning.

Like Xu Guo, they were canonized by Zhou Tianzi later.

According to Xu's own documents, their ancestors were in the Xia Dynasty, Boyi was instrumental in assisting Yu in controlling the water, and his son Ying Ruomu was enshrined in "Xu" (now Pitan region) and established the State of Xu.

During the Gongdan period of Zhou, to the period of King Cheng of Zhou and King Kang of Zhou, wars between Western Zhou and Xu were very frequent.

Xu participated in the rebellion of the remnants of the Shang Dynasty nobles led by Wu Geng against the Zhou royal family and rebelled against the Eastern Crusade of the Duke of Zhou.

King Xu Ju raised troops to directly attack the Zhou royal family and has been fighting on the Yellow River, and the Xu people are proud of "the first monarch and the king of the west to ask for help in the river".

It was not until King Mu of Zhou defeated Xu that King Xu Yan lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests around Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu), and Xu returned to the ranks of the Zhou royal family.

And the state of Chu was canonized during the reign of King Cheng of Zhou, but it was only the title of a viscount.

Later, the state of Chu repeatedly annexed the surrounding countries, and gradually broke away from the camp of the Zhou royal family.

Until the incident of "King Chu won the crown", the state of Chu officially declared itself as a camp and began to call each other with the Zhou royal family.

Therefore, after that, the two camps were two civilizations, and they began to fight for the right to speak.

The winning side is entitled to play with the poor little girl of history.

Lost? Resign yourself to your fate and lie down.

Now, Luan Shu is talking about the sense of historical mission.

He demanded that all the nobles put aside their usual prejudices and unite in the face of the impending war.

In addition, he also asked the other "secretaries" to send envoys to the countries as soon as possible, and all the younger brothers who should be called over, even if they cannot play any practical role on the battlefield, it is good to wave the flag and shout.

Father Ji Sun Xing of Lu State and Father Sun Lin of Wei Guo looked at each other when they heard this.

What is it good to wave the flag and shout?

Look down on people, this is!

It's just that they know very well in their hearts that under such a big scene, it seems that they can really only wave their flags and shout.

Another person, Ziyuan from Wu State, felt that today could be regarded as a long insight.

The hegemon of the Central Plains, at first glance, is putting on a posture of desperately trying to fight with the southern hegemon.

More than 300,000 people were dispatched from the Chu side, and about 100,000 people were placed on the side to threaten the Song State, and the prince of Chu led about 200,000 to attack "Yanling".

The Jin Kingdom not only dispatched four legions by itself, but also pulled a group of junior brothers, how many people should be gathered?

This is destined to be a great battle!

Han Ju, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, opened his mouth and said: "The army of the nations, the fastest one will arrive in March, and the slower one will arrive in April and May. ”

The current month is May.

When the younger brothers bring people over, some of them can only arrive in autumn, and some need to wait until winter.

Do they want to wait for their younger brothers to come before fighting the Chu army?

They could see that Han Ju was a little uncertain in his heart.

The monarch continued to count something with his eyes in confusion.

Luan Shu was silent.

The rest of the "secretaries" remained quiet.

No one spoke up, and the representatives were not so sure.

After a while, Luan Shucai said: "As the strategy made before, open the 'Yanling'." ”

End of meeting.

The monarch and the "secretaries" remained in the military tent, and the rest of the nobles withdrew.

Lu Wu traveled with Wei Qi and other people from the old Wei family.

Father Ji Sun Xing didn't like Father Sun Lin, but he talked side by side and went away.

Ziyuan stood outside the military tent and looked at it for a long time, shook his head and left.

The Jin army has pulled out the camp!

The upper army was the front, the middle army and the lower army were the middle, and the new army was behind, marching towards "Yanling" in a mighty way.

During the march, many nobles sent their men back to their fiefdoms.

They didn't want to flee from the battle, they simply felt that their previous preparations were insufficient, and they needed to send someone back to bring some supplies over.

Lu Wu was doing the same thing.

They have a tacit understanding that what they should secretly bring home will be quietly brought back.

This great war cannot end in a short period of time.

Didn't prepare accordingly in advance, and waited for the matter to come to an end and then put on a sad face?

When they arrived at Yanling, they were strictly asked where they needed to set up camp and what the specifications were.

Because the assessment will take a long time, the construction of the camp must not be sloppy, and the surrounding woods are completely overwhelmed with blood mold.

Luan Shu also ordered that even if not so much wood was used, all the surrounding trees would be cut down.

That's kind of interesting!

It is clearly to create problems for the upcoming Chu army.

After all, the Chu army also needed wood to camp.

The Jin army arrived first, and eight days later, the vanguard of the Chu army, which looked like 20,000 or 30,000 people, appeared on the other side of the horizon.

Seeing that the Chu army was really coming.

For the sake of the end, Shi Xie found Luan Shu again and said heavily: "My ancestors' fierce battle is also for a reason. Qin, Di, Qi, and Chu are all strong, and if they don't do their best, their descendants will be weak. Today, the three strong are subdued, and the enemy is only Chu. Only a saint can be free from trouble outside and inside, and if he is not a saint, he will have internal worries. Do you think you are afraid of the outside? ”

Brother, we have already dominated the Central Plains.

Now that Qin, Di, and Qi have knelt down, do you want to be more leisurely with the Chu State?

We can't defeat all the strong enemies.

If the descendants have no enemies, will they slack off?

Luan Shu was silent for a while, although he felt that Shi Xie's words were very reasonable, but he still advocated separating the victory and defeat with Chu State.

In this way, the big war is inevitable!
