Chapter Eighty-Five: The Alliance

The abolition of the royal system in Chu and the implementation of the Ao system Pang Nuan had heard of it, but he always thought that this was just the delusion of a small number of people, and it should not be taken seriously. In the world of great strife, who can imagine that a country has no king? Without an order, how can government affairs be promulgated and implemented? Without officials, how can taxes be collected for state spending?

In extreme shock, he didn't hear Xiong Jing's subsequent admonition to persuade him to stand on his feet, and said in shock: "How can it be like this! If the king is not a king, how can the state of Chu be the state of Chu? ”

Pang Nuan's reaction was beyond Xiong Jing's expectations, no matter how he said it, he was also a feudal monarch, how could he not understand the Ao system that the Chu State had practiced for hundreds of years? He gave a final explanation. "The country is just clothes, and the surname Mi and Chu are the body ......"

"Never!" Pang Nuan said again. "The force is weak, and the force is strong. The king must have listened to the words of the prince and practiced this system. The minister thinks that the system should be abolished and a new law should be implemented, otherwise, why does my Chu State exist in this world of great controversy! ”

"What kind of new law?" Xiong Jing asked again, already disappointed in him.

"The right to collect the county shall belong to the king, and the wealth of the country shall be gathered for the use of the state." Pang Nuan said: "Move the clan to Jiangdong, abolish the ...... of the nobles"

"Then who will do Wu Qi?" Xiong Jing smiled, "There is no such talent in the Chu Kingdom." ”

"The minister is willing to be Wu Qi!" Pang Nuan's chest was full of blood, "The minister is willing to go to the fire for the king and die without spinning." ”

"Good!" Pang Nuan is very loyal, and Xiong Jing is very satisfied. He pulled out his sword with a choked sound and said, "Pang Qing receives the sword." ”

"Yui!" The sword is a symbol of power, the king gives the sword is equal to the right, Pang Nuan is overjoyed, the sword starts, and the cold light penetrates people. Still in the midst of his excitement, he was brewing moving words to repay Xiong Jing's trust, and he didn't want to hear a word that he shouldn't have heard. "Pang Qing, you can lie down the sword."

"Ahh Pang Nuan was stunned, "What does the king mean?" ”

"Don't say it, you can lie down the sword." Xiong Jing still seemed to have a smile on his face, but there was some coldness in the laughter.

"The King?" Pang Nuan was still puzzled, but he heard the laughter of Youshi behind Xiong Jing, and finally found that he was being played. "Why is the king humiliated here!" His face was swollen like a piece of pork liver. "The minister is bare-hearted, only for the sake of the king and the society."

"If you are faithful to me, you will be a sword; If you're not faithful to me, don't fart. Xiong Jing instantly became very rude.

"The king insults his ministers and disobeys." Pang Nuan raised his sword, and the sanitation behind Xiong Jing thought that he was going to misbehave, and immediately stepped forward.

"Don't think that you can achieve your fame by the unruly royal power and the blood and sweat of the Chu people, the Chu State is not the Three Jin Dynasty, let alone the Qin State." Xiong Jing took back his saber from his hand, and finally said, "From today onwards, don't appear in front of you." ”

After Xiong Jing's words, Pang Nuan quickly disappeared on the pawn wing warboat. When he left, Pang Nuan felt that he had been insulted, and Xiong Jing felt similar to him in his heart, and he also felt that he had been greatly insulted.

"Does it look silly, or is it stupid?" Xiong Jing asked indignantly to the left and right history behind him.

"The king is young, and he bullies the king when he is young." Right Shi told him very seriously. "And the state of Zhao and the state of Qin are not caused, many utilitarians, so amazing. They often use hegemony as an inducement, or to show their ambitions, or to make profits,"

"However, it is indeed a good asset to use!" Xiong Jing sighed. "If he loses, he will die; If you win, most of them are in vain, and you can't live in their place or take their cars. ”

Xiong Jing sighed. The state of Chu is the surname Mi, and if the attack cannot allow the surname Mi to preserve the inheritance and reproduce the heirs, it will be a huge failure; And at the expense of all the surnames and all the Chu people in exchange for a hegemony that is destined to disappear, it is a huge tragedy. The current war is not for hegemony, but for defense and awakening.

It's a pity that even if he is a great king or becomes a great Ao, Xiong Jing can't control the fate of the Chu people, at most he can only control it at the right time. As for the outcome of the left and right, only the One God knows, and He cannot know.

The trebuchet constantly fired city-breaking bullets, hammered the walls of the girder, and took the girder, and the state of Chu could seal the way of the Qin army to the south; The Qin army continued to assemble under Zhao Zheng's strict orders, preparing for a large-scale counterattack on Aocang to prevent the Chu people from transporting a large amount of grain; Meng Wu, who had penetrated deep into the Chu realm, retreated before he could go down to Cai, but he continued to command the Qin army to attack the cities along the way and burn them on a large scale, in order to attract a counterattack by the Chu army and divide the strength of the Chu army between Daliang and Aocang......

Everything is very important, but compared to the establishment of a new system in the state of Chu, everything is not important. Xiong Jing soon abandoned the war and returned to Yingdu, accompanied by Zhuyue and the chiefs or elders of the various tribes.

"The king's intention is to form a brotherly alliance with us?" In the tent where he was sleeping, the people looked at each other. Although Qu Sui spent half an hour explaining the Ao system of the Chu State and expressing the goodwill of the Chu State in its friendship with various tribes and states, most people still did not understand why the Chu people did this.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiong Jing did not answer the rhetorical question, he believed that these people could easily understand the Ao system, but the Chu people did not understand the Ao system very well, after all, starting from King Wu of Chu, the Chu State had implemented the royal system for more than 400 years.

"I don't think so." The monarch of Minyue has no way, "Although my Minyue armor is less than 10,000, how can I be allied with the small clan?" ”

Su Wuzhu's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone, and Zhu, who wanted to sacrifice Zhao Shan's head to Xiong Jing, quickly sneered in Yue: "Your knife is not better than ours. ”

"Kid looking for death!" The Tai are just an inconspicuous clan, and such a small clan dares to doubt their majesty, and they are furious.

"Only God knows who cut off whose head." Bamboo stood up and patted the knife on his waist.

"That's a mistake. Minyue 5,000 Jiashi are the people of the Jun family? "The prince of the Yue is good at asking and answering himself." No. The five thousand armor soldiers of Minyue are also the armor soldiers of several clans of the United Kingdom, otherwise, they are also small clans. ”

"You!" The donkey is good in a word. The Yue Kingdom was also the first to implement the clan system, and then the royal system was established. With the defeat of King Wu of Yue, he was beaten back to the clan system. In order to send troops to the king of Qin this time, the kings of Yue have done persuasion work on the clan internally, the purpose is to ask the state of Chu to return to their homeland, and at the same time compete for the position of king of Yue. In this regard, the Yue Yue is hopeless, and it is impossible for South Vietnam, only Minyue, Ouyue, and Yue Junkai fiercely compete.

"Dare to ask the king, if the Ao system is implemented, will there be no more kings in the Chu State in the future?" Yue Jun arrived in Yingdu ten days ago, he had expectations for the throne, but he didn't expect that Chu would no longer be kingship, and he would pull Zhuyue not to be kingship.

"Yes." Xiong Jing nodded. "If the Ao system is practiced, Buyu will only govern the fiefs of Yingdu, Hangying, and Buyi, and the rest of the counties will be governed by each clan or the chief of honor. In the future, all matters will be handled by the Great Sima Mansion, the Outer Dynasty, and the Zheng Dynasty, and the affairs of each clan and county will be autonomous. ”

"Is there a Ling Yin?" Don't ask again. Qu Sui didn't say anything about the royal power before, but now when he heard Xiong Jing say that all he would govern in the future was Yingdu, Hangying, and his own fiefdom, everyone was in an uproar for a while.

"None." Xiong Jing Road. "Government affairs, foreign affairs, and military affairs are handled by the election of several people by each clan and the chief of honor, and they are replaced once a year or every few years, and a fixed number of people are replaced after the war, and the chief of the non-clan and the chief of the honorable man cannot be responsible. The implementation of the law is no different from the previous election Ling Yin, and the one who wins the most armor wins. ”

"However, I have too few soldiers." As soon as he spoke, he began to suspect that the Chu people were trying to annex the Yue people.

"Then the number of people can be fixed, if seven people deal with affairs, it can be agreed that seven people will account for two." After Xiong Jing finished speaking, he said: "There are not many Chu people, in terms of population, there are 800,000 Lu people, 500,000 Song people, and 500,000 or 600,000 Song people, but the Chu people are actually less than one million. ”

Ludi, Songdi, and Wudi, the population of these three places is close to two million, and there are Cai Di, Chen Di, really calculated, Chu people are only 800,000 or 900,000. The Yue people in the south are at least one million, and they are more than the Chu people.

"But we are located in the south, and it is really inconvenient to travel back and forth." When he opened and groaned, the master said again. Nanwu is far away in Panyu, from Panyu to Daliang, the distance can be imagined, and you have to bring your own food, among the division of King Qin, the division of Nanwu is the most embarrassing.

"I have heard that there is Meiling in the south of Nanye, Ganshui can pass through the north of Meiling, and Beishui can pass through the south of Meiling. Xiong Jing Road. "As for those who are far away, the reward for the battle can be doubled."

Meiling Pass belongs to one of the five mountains, this is the ancient pass of Jiangxi to Guangdong, after the Qin Dynasty was excavated until the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was a key road, but before the Meiling was excavated, this was already one of the important passages in the north of Lingnan. As soon as the public master heard that he was going to open the Meiling Pass, his face changed, he could be independent of the country, that is, relying on the terrain and miasma, as soon as the pass was opened, the Nanwu Kingdom would be in danger.

"No, I still heard it," Xiong Jing pretended not to see the change in the face of the male master, and continued to speak. "There is a big iron mountain in Zhuya."

"Big Iron Mountain?!" Gongshisi, Fu Shan, as well as Elder Song of Xiou, Zhu of the Tai people, and the tribes near the South China Sea, their eyes suddenly lit up. Their iron tools are all imported by the Chu State, and iron is increasingly replacing copper and becoming a militaristic heavy weapon.

"King, the Pearl Cliff is not owned by Nanwu." Fu Shan was the first to speak, and immediately aroused the angry eyes of the public master.

"Zhuya is the closest to Nanwu, so it is naturally owned by Nanwu." The public teacher said unhappily.

"How can Zhuya be the closest to Nanwu, obviously it is the closest to my Tai tribe." Bamboo was very unwilling.

"Xiou is also close to the sea, and Zhuya Datieshan Xiou also has a share." Elder Song said, he obviously doesn't rely on the sea.

"If that's the case, Minyue also has a share." The always domineering Su Wuzhu also inserted a pole, and he also wanted a big iron.

"My Ouyue is also by the sea." Zhu An chased in, although he didn't know where the pearl cliff was for the time being.

"Ahem," Qu Sui saw that the Yue people were fighting for the cake, and hurriedly coughed a few times, and these people looked back when they heard the cough.

"Pearl Cliff has a big iron mountain, and the mineral quality is excellent." Xiong Jing didn't seem to see the fight between them. "In that case, then we must open mines and smelt iron. With Ju Iron, you can ......, you haven't seen the refinement yet, you might as well go to build a mansion first, and then talk about it. ”
