In the face of the Qin State, no one can escape, and before the Qin army comes, whether it is the Chu State, the Zhuyue, or the tribes, they must all be vigorous and take precautions to prepare for the final war. Xiong Jing's words want to express this meaning, even if the Chu army has won one victory after another, but the soldiers who can really fight are not more and more, but fewer and fewer.

Compared with the Chu army, the Qin army just didn't adapt to such tactics. Studying the various information gathered from the war during this time, the Qin army was actually constantly changing, and the chieftain spears and stone armor that appeared in the Battle of the Chasm were representative of it. There is not much difference between spears, bronze weapons and iron weapons, they are all stabs; Of course, the stone armor is not as protective as the giant armor, but it is much better than the leather armor.

Beyond armor is tactics. In the past, the Qin army often fought in scattered formations, which was convenient for grabbing the first rank, but this time the Qin army did not fight in a scattered formation, although their chief spear formation was not as good as the Chu army, but it already had the appearance of a spear array.

According to the intelligence of Zhibisi, in addition to the large-scale manufacture of four-wheeled carriages, Shaofu is also trial-producing new large wings. The hard impact had to have a keel that ran through the central axis of the bottom of the ship, and on top of the keel were 'long' ribs one after another, and the reaction force of the violent collision was distributed among the whole warship through the keel and the ribs. However, it cannot be said that there is no ramming angle without the keel, and the ramming is the basic tactic of water warfare, and the keel only ensures that the warship will not be damaged.

In addition to impact, there is speed, which depends on the type of boat and the number of oarsmen. The reason why the new big wing has three rows of oarsmen is just a clever arrangement of space for three people, and there is nothing unique about it. Even if the space for three oarsmen cannot be skillfully arranged, as long as the boat is not too wide, not to mention three oarsmen, even five oarsmen can be arranged calmly. Once the Qin State made a large number of three-oared and five-oared large-wing warships without keels, the Qin army could also crisscross four or five hundred miles in one day.

The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high. If the Chu army wanted to defeat the Qin army, in addition to the bravery of the soldiers, it had to resort to new technologies and new tactics, but the war itself was a kind of exchange. This exchange is very practical and extremely effective, because the tuition fee is a lot of blood and no bones.

The Qin army was flexible in battle, and would learn the enemy's effective tactics, and the result was that the Chu army was improving, and the Qin army was also improving. The progress of the Qin army was not as good as that of the Chu army, but the Qin army had an absolute advantage in numbers, and this numerical advantage could offset the relative disadvantage in armor and tactics. If all the armies of Chu and all the armies of Qin were concentrated on one battlefield to fight a decisive battle that bet on the fortunes of the country, there was no doubt that the result would inevitably be the defeat of the Chu army.

Xiong Jing felt more and more the importance of the large-wing warship, which allowed the Chu army to concentrate its forces to defeat the Qin army, and the narrow rivers made it impossible for the Qin state to maneuver effectively even if it built three-oared and five-oared wings without keel, because such ships could not withstand the impact.

"King," Chang Jiang's voice sounded in his ears as he pondered. "The ministers have arrived in the Yan Dynasty."

The Yan Dynasty has become a big tent, and under the tent, Ling Yin Chengjie, Cai Gong Cai Wen, Shen Yinyi, Xiang Gong Xiang Que, Qi Gong Fei, as well as Nao Cunning, Zhao Huang, Qu Sui, Song Yu, Meng Zhengyu, Guan Yao, Zimo and others have all arrived. This time, we still want to talk about the Ao system that will be implemented.

In fact, the Ao system is not Xiong Jing's method, and the first person to propose the implementation of the Ao system was Zhen Yin Zimo. The reason why he mentioned this was not because of how noble or retro his ideas were, but because he didn't like Cheng Jie to be the Ling Yin of the Chu State. The position of Ling Yin originated from King Wu, and from the beginning of its establishment, its power was only under the king. However, the state of Chu did not implement the division of civil and military rule like other countries, and Xiong Jing now completely delegated power to Ling Yin, and Ling Yin's power is actually equal to the king.

Fighting with each other is the reason for the current situation; Decentralization of power is the ultimate goal of the implementation of the Ao system. From the proposal to implement the Ao system to the present, the meeting has been held a total of 12 times, and each time the two sides have quarreled fiercely. Yi Su wanted to use force against Cheng Jie several times, and wanted to 'kill this remnant of the Ruo Ao clan', so he was disqualified from participating in the meeting after the fifth meeting.

On the side of the new clan, there are only four people left, including Nao Cun, Zhao Huang, Qu Sui, and Zimo, and the old husband is five: Cheng Jie, Cai Wen, Shen Yinyi, Xiang Que, and Fei Fang. Song Yu and Guan Yu are not surnamed Mi, they can mediate between the two sides, although Meng Zhengyu is a prince, Zuo Yin's Mansion is involved in the restructuring very deeply, and the next few meetings have to be discussed.

"The minister has seen the king." Seeing Xiong Jing walking into the Yan Dynasty, all twelve courtiers stood up and saluted.

"No courtesy." Xiong Jing smiled. From the fifth meeting onwards, his principle was to try to ease the atmosphere and ensure that the meeting was a complete and successful one. "Zhuqing, visit and lobby for a few days, and the Yue people are willing to form an alliance with my Chu people."

Everyone has known about the affairs of the Yue people for a long time, Xiong Jing said this, and the ministers had to give a face, and said in unison: "Congratulations to the king." ”

"In this way, the rear of my Chu State is worry-free." Xiong Jing felt the smell of gunpowder on both sides again. Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, Zi Mo said: "King Yu, the 500,000 army of Mengwu crisscrossed Chu and killed the Chu people, so that Yin Qianmin could not reach it. ”

"Humph!" Cheng Jie immediately saw it. "The Song people don't listen to orders, what can Ben Yin Ruozhi do?"

"Where is the army of Mengwu now?" Although Mengwu's 500,000 army was confined to the Song Dynasty and would retreat after a lack of food, Xiong Jing still had to ask, after all, the Qin army killed the people of Chu.

"Your lord, the forward of the Mengwu army has pulled out Ping'a, and the common people in the city are half reluctant to leave the city, and the ministers are helpless." Cheng Jiedao. "In the northernmost Yangxia from the Wei realm, the common people hurriedly avoided the side of the water, and they are unharmed today. If you don't avoid the waters, you can also avoid the wilderness, and you will be safe. But those who do not want to leave the city, once the city is uprooted, all will die. ”

"Why don't they want to leave the city?" Xiong Jing said anxiously, the evacuation plan was set very early.

"The people of the Song Dynasty are not trustworthy scholars, and they believe in ink." The reason why Seisuke said it.

"Inkman?" The Moshi of the Song Dynasty, like the Confucianists of Ludi, were not the children of the Mo family who wore grass shoes and hung copper swords at their waists, but the scholars who believed in Moxue. "Why don't those inkmen persuade the common people to leave the city?"

"Non-Mo people do not persuade the common people to leave the city, but after the death of the county officials, the county is in chaos, and the common people are afraid of the reputation, so they are reluctant to leave the city. The ink scholars also don't believe in the honorable people, and if they don't leave, the common people won't leave. Seisuke continued.

Although the Song Dynasty was located in the south, after the Dai Dynasty Song Dynasty, the degree of countyization was not lower than that of the Wei State. However, Chengsuke still missed one thing and didn't say it, that is, the 'stupidity' of the Song people. Yushi was originally regarded as a brutal by the Song people, the Qin army came to die, and it is estimated that it is also death to avoid the brutal, rather than this, it is better to fight according to the city.

"That's what happened!" Xiong Jing sighed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty," Song Yuqing coughed, "the war will be discussed later, and now the new policy should be discussed." ”

"Yes." Xiong Jing had to nod. No matter how great the loss of the Song land is, it is only a loss of one place and a moment, and more important than the war is that the political system of the Chu State should be stabilized. He asked intently: "What do you think of the last discussion of the Seven Ao Governance?" ”

"The ministers have no objections." Zi Mo took the lead and said, this is what he proposed.

"I don't think so." Seisuke's face sank. "In this way, it is like a man with seven heads, how can he handle government affairs?"

"Why not use one head a year?" Zimo retorted. "And my Chu country only has one head of the king, how can there be seven heads? The elected governor Qi Ao is just the four limbs and ears of the Chu State. ”

"I think it's too much." Xiang Que disagreed with Zimo's view. His elder brother Xiang Yan led his army to victory over the Qin army, and his political prestige became higher and higher. "A maximum of five Ao, so that each person will be in power for one year, and then elected after five years."

"If you are like this, where will you put the Yue people?" Zhao Huang asked. "Among the seven Ao, there are two less and three more than three people, if there are only five Ao, and the five Yue people account for two, how is it appropriate?"

Zhao Huang stopped Xiang Que with a word. The southern Vietnamese were about a million in their early years, and if they wanted to unite them, they had to be given some places, and the seven elected Ao had to give them at least two of them. In addition to the minority of witches and nobles who want to give them a certain position, the countrymen (in fact, the clan chief and the honorary chief), according to the principle of at least one person in a tribe, also have to give more than 50 positions.

It is likely that the outer dynasty will continue to exist, but the people of the outer dynasty cannot be nobles or honored scholars, but can only be propertied commoners, and the scale is tentatively set at one pawn. Many tribesmen can't get a division, but there are still 310 soldiers.

"Yue Nai is a barbarian, the armor is inferior to me, and Ding Kou is not as good as me, what can I do if I don't give them to them?" Shen Yinyi was disdainful, he was different from Xiong Jing and did not take Yue people very seriously.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiong Jing was displeased when he heard this. He felt that one of the biggest advantages of the Ao system was that it could merge the barbarian clans as quickly as a puzzle. Naturally, you have to give people rights when you join in, but you have the right to choose whether you are in harmony or not.

"Our army defeats the Qin army again, if we go down to the Great Liang, the Qin people will not be able to attack me in the future. The minister thought that the king valued the Yue people too much. Shen Yin Yi said.

"Da Wang Yun, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, if our army is defeated in the future, where can we retreat if we don't retreat into Yuedi?" Nao said slyly.

"Even if there is a day, you should retreat into the Qi country." Shen Yin Yi said. He premised on the idea of merging with the state of Qi.

"Qi is located on the seashore, what is the depth?" Nao asked again.

"Ahem." Song Yu and Guanyu coughed almost at the same time, indicating that the discussion had digressed.

"What does Cheng Qing think of the seven people?" Xiong Jing interjected at the right time and asked Xiang Chengsuke.

"If you think about the Yue people, there should be seven people. However, "Cheng Jie said," the Yue people are not familiar with my Chu State, how to manage things? ”

"The clans and counties have been contracted, and the taxes are also collected by the clans and counties themselves, and there are not many things that need to be disposed of. Wartime is different, and wartime is naturally the main business of the Chu people. Zhao Huang interjected.

"Yue Junkai and the others must know Chu State better than you and me." Nao Cunning also interjected.

"Instead of counseling the Seven Ao, it is better to consult the law." Meng Zheng's poultry was anxious. "With the system of county contracting, what is the benefit of the common people?"
