Chapter 42: Ling Yin

The Purple Mountain Shipyard celebrates the successful launch of two sea boats, and a unique election is underway. Yin Chengjie of Xixian County and the current Ling Yin's Nao sat outside the thatched door, and put one wooden stump after another into the box in front of him. For each piece of wood that is thrown, the voter will read out a number, such as: Xiyang 5,000 armor, and then the attendant will sing a song along to indicate who the 5,000 armor soldiers voted for.

At this time, in addition to the representatives of Lu Di, there were no more Chinese people who acted as facades, either the county princes themselves or their cronies, and there were also representatives of the Song Di Wu Di Yushi. There is no nonsense and promises, there is just a competition in the number of armor.

"Bitter County, eight thousand Jia, are cunning." The servants hoped that Nao would win, and whenever a wooden slip was thrown into Nao's cunning box, their voices would shout very loudly, otherwise they would be mediocre and mediocre, as if they had not eaten enough.

"Ku County also has 8,000 Jia?" As soon as the court was done, Gong Yin shook his head again and again, and the current situation was a little bad for Cheng Jie. Yushi mastered the Song Dynasty and Wudi, and it is likely that Yuedi will also throw himself into Nao, and it is almost difficult to win by relying only on the counties of Huaishang and Huaishui, as well as Huainan counties.

"Cai Gong, how should this be?" Shen Yinyi, the county prince of Yuxian County, stretched his face and ran in front of Cai Wen.

"Don't worry, there is also the armor of Ludi." Cai Wen blinked his eyes and looked at Lu Di's representatives, Kong Qian, Meng Zhao and others.

"Will Ludi vote for us? Wu Xuancai was ...... the month before last," Shen Yinyi said incomprehensibly. On the day of the contract to sue the temple, someone in the old husband's clan threatened Wu Xuan, the descendant of Wu Qi, saying that he would fight him to the death, Wu Xuan was afraid and fled to Ludi.

"What's wrong with little Wu Xuan?" Cai Wen's speech is still leaky. "Did the Lu people fight the Qin people? If you don't fight, you will naturally vote for me. ”

In addition to those who hope that Chu and Qin will stop the war and negotiate peace, the royal party represented by Ling Yin Nao still believes that the Qin people will be untrustworthy and the battle between Chu and Qin is inevitable. If it weren't for the fact that many people in the foreign dynasty thought that they should be killed as a horse doctor, they would never agree to leave the Qin Dynasty.

Continuing the dispute over whether to enter Qin, the county magistrates who were worried that Nao would unilaterally provoke the war between Chu and Qin had to put out a person to run for Ling Yin. Xiong Jing had no opinion on this, he had promised that in the future, the Chu State Ling Yin would be elected by the counties and not appointed by him, and the division of property between the Dafu and the Ling Yin Mansion had also ended, and Ling Yin's rights and responsibilities were also extremely clear.

"Shouling two thousand Jiatou Chengjie." The number of Cheng Jie's and Nao's cunning armor increased alternately, just because the Song land was all cast into Nao's cunning, and Chengjie had more than 30,000 fewer armor than Nao's cunning. Shoulingjun, who was hugged or pardoned because of his husband's family, threw the wooden slip with 2,000 armor in his hand to Chengsuke, and then turned back to bow to the county princesses, and the suppressed atmosphere suddenly became active.

"How can Shoulingjun have two thousand armor soldiers?" Many people are whispering, Shouling is just a small town south of Yingdu, and two thousand armor soldiers are incredible.

"The lord of my family has lost all his wealth and summoned his private soldiers, and there are 1,500 people." In the midst of the fox's suspicion, Shoulingjun's family leader stood up to refute the rumors, which immediately aroused praise from everyone.

"Private pawns are not money, dare to ask Shoulingjun if he has food?" Later, the standard of armor was added, that is, the county that sent troops must ensure that the armor must be guaranteed 12 months of food a year. It is easy to summon private soldiers, but with the current corn price of 150 years ago in the Chu State, it is not easy to supply a year's worth of grain.

"The lord of my family has purchased 50,000 stone of grain in the Wei State, and the grain has arrived in Pengcheng. Da Sima Mansion can go to verify. "The housekeeper proudly announced that the word 'Wei Guo' is pronounced very strongly. Wei is already an enemy country, and it is indeed a great ability to buy grain from Wei.

"Da Sima Mansion will go to Pengcheng to verify." The person who asked the question was a small official of the Fu Department of the Great Sima Mansion, and his voice was lowered when he heard the words.

"With the county's 25,000 A vote." After Shoulingjun, Yin Mubo came up with the county and county. Suixian is a big county, but the 25,000 armor soldiers still shocked the people present, but Mu Boxun didn't say anything, and he hurriedly left the field after voting.

"Xiling 5,000 armor soldiers cast into the introduction." Relying on the counties west of Dabie Mountain, Chengjie's backward numbers finally pulled up little by little. At this time, Xiong Jing was already on the way back, and he had already seen the sails, and he was generally satisfied.

"Jing'er, do you really believe in those old husbands?" When she smashed the bottle, Concubine Zhao was a little excited, she felt that she had done something to leave a name in history, it was the first sea boat in Chu State, and this sea boat might be able to find the three valleys of Dongzhou in a few years.

"Whoever does Ling Yin is such a game of chess." Xiong Jing smiled. "In this way, the court battle will not involve the king, and they will fight for the position of Yin if they want power."

"That's right." Concubine Zhao couldn't help nodding, she nodded and remembered the envoy of Zhao State who had been in the capital for a long time, and she was speechless for a while: If Cheng Jie, the county of Xi County, was made Lingyin, Zhao Guo would not be able to save it.

"Don't worry about Zhao Guo, the queen mother." Xiong Jing knew Concubine Zhao's worries. "From what the child can see, the Qin army will definitely attack my Chu country. The next month is August, and in August, the Qin army will no longer attack Zhao. ”

"Ugh." The State of Qin is either attacking his own mother country, or the State of Chu, which is destroying his son, Concubine Zhao had to sigh and sighed: "If Brother Wang hadn't ordered Zhao Kuo to be a general, the State of Qin would not have been so rampant!" ”

"No matter how rampant the Qin army is, it will also be defeated at the hands of the Chu army." Xiong Jing looked at Huaishang and sighed a little.

"Jing'er, the state of Chu has been fighting for three years, and the price of millet in Yingdu has risen to one hundred and fifty yuan, and the people are hungry, so they can only eat wild taro and bean soup. promised the queen mother, if she can really make peace this time, then she will make peace with Qin Guo. Concubine Zhao admonished. If the people can rest, it will not be too late for him to fight the Qin State in the future. ”

"Queen Mother, the only Chu country in the world does not obey Qin, and as long as the King of Qin lives, he will not give up." Xiong Jing smiled bitterly, he also wanted to make peace.

"What can Jing'er do if she pretends to surrender to King Qin?" Concubine Zhao looked at her son, for fear that he would make the same mistake that Brother Wang made back then.

"Queen Mother, if the child submits to the King of Qin, the King of Qin must sacrifice the art of refining the Giant and the Boat of the Great Wings, neither of which can be offered." Xiong Jing saw the painting boat on the shore and grabbed Concubine Zhao before the temple people.

"What about dedication?" Concubine Zhao still couldn't understand the importance of these two. "If you don't negotiate peace, the price of millet will ......"

"King Yu," a temple man hurriedly came, "Ling Yin Zhi ...... choice"

"Say." Xiong Jing's voice sank, and he guessed the result in an instant.

"King Yu, Cheng Jie has more than a thousand armor soldiers than Nao is cunning," the temple man stubbornly reported the bad news.

"More than a thousand armor soldiers?" Xiong Jing's face didn't change, "Is it converted by the armor soldiers in various places?" ”

The Great Sima Mansion did not have time to personally measure the combat strength of the soldiers in various places, so the generals could only draft a relatively fair figure according to the situation of the previous county soldiers. In other words, the armor of each county must be discounted to be considered a real armor. This number is the final number of the campaign. Of course, these armorers also need to add grain and grass.

"Your Majesty, yes. After conversion, Chengjie still has more than 1,000 Jia. As he spoke, the temple man was waved away by Xiong Jing.

"Mother, child......" Xiong Jing's brows furrowed again.

"Go ahead." Concubine Zhao reluctantly summoned Mi Xuan into the carriage, and when Mi Xuan got into the car, she made a grimace at Xiong Jing.

"The king, the minister is derelict in his duties." On the earthen platform, Nao is cunning and worships. Previously, everyone had calculated the victory and defeat many times, thinking that the worst and worst could also win the five hundred Jia, but who expected to lose more than a thousand Jia.

"The king, they are all the kings of that Shouling!" Zhao Huang said angrily, "This person has 1,500 private soldiers, and I didn't know about it before." ”

"Does he have any food?" Xiong Jing knew that Shou Lingjun, this person was Huang Xie's best friend, and he was bailed out by her husband a few months ago.

"Yes. He bought 50,000 stone millet from the Wei State. Yi Su's face was strained all the time, and his eyes were almost bursting. In just half an hour, he had already gone to Pengcheng to find out that 50,000 stone millets had entered the Wei State. "O king, do not surrender power to them."

"Why can't you hand it over?" Xiong Jing was very surprised.

"They are all people who are bent to Qin, greedy for life and afraid of death, and the ministers are worried that they will do wrong to the king." It is difficult for Yi Su to accept this kind of election result, but this is what Xiong Jing promised.

"Cheng Jie has become Ling Yin, the power is already in their hands, our armor has only lost more than a thousand, if you want to be wrong, do they dare?" Xiong Jing raised his voice. "Besides, they have so much power, so why do they do this."

"The king really wants Cheng Jie to be the order Yin?" Zi Mo's eyes widened on the side, he never thought that the election order Yin was real.

"You think you're lying?" Xiong Jing was about to be stunned by him, it turned out that this guy saw himself like this.

"Oh, please see you." The confessor suddenly ran up the steps, and everyone looked to see that Narusuke and his gang were already standing outside the road gate.

"Call." Xiong Jing knew what Cheng Jie was doing, so he turned his head and asked Chang Jiang to go and get the Fu Festival of Ling Yin.

"The minister has seen the king." More than a dozen county Yin Tuan embraced Chengjie to ascend the ladder, including Shoulingjun.

"No courtesy." Xiong Jing's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes still looked at these people carefully. In addition to Chengjie and Shoulingjun, there are also Yin Caiwen of Xia Cai County, Shen Yin Yi of Yu County, Yin Mu Boxun of Suixian County, Eping of Exian County, Yin Fei of Qisi County, Yin Pengguan of Juyang, Yin Xiangque of Xiang County, Yin Douyu Pheasant of Tang County, and several other Xiong Jing only remember their appearance, but do not remember their names.

"Do you believe the king's words?" The winning Seisuke still had a little suspicion, but fortunately, the main bed was just a dirt platform, and he couldn't hide any palace armor anymore.

"The promise of the king is child's play." Xiong Jing was disdainful, he glanced at Chang Jiang, who immediately stepped forward and presented the box containing the Ling Yin bronze talisman.

"Thank you to the king." After Narusuke took the box, he bowed, and the rest of the people followed him to worship, and his excitement was indescribable. No one could have imagined that the transfer of power would be so simple that there was no need to leave a drop of blood.

"No thanks. It's what you earn. Xiong Jing was expressionless. It's just that you have to remember in your heart that if you mess up, you will no longer be Ling Yin. Also, form your retainers as soon as possible, and then report to Bu Yu. ”
