Chapter 100: Move the capital to Changsha and defend the country

……

After King Chu Huai's decision to move the capital, it was immediately implemented, and when dawn fell the next day, the royal city of Yingdu began to toss indiscriminately.

As soon as the news of the relocation of the capital came out, the people of Wangcheng were in an uproar, and the countless enthusiastic people who resisted and defended the country suddenly dispersed, and they were all in a hurry. The merchants were the first to run away; The fishermen and sailors hurriedly packed up their boats, ready to flee at any moment; The rich and noble families also began to make some money, and followed the tribe to chase the monarch and migrate to Changsha.

The farmers were worried about the crops in the valley, the private industry was digging the ground to bury the materials that had not been sold, and some people were anxious that they could make a fortune from the national disaster, but in short, everything that could run ran away.

But the vast majority of the countrymen can't run, and countless poor people who are subordinate to the countryside and officials and slaves are wandering in the long streets of the royal city of Yingdu, these people wander around the streets of the royal city, and they keep scolding the weakness of the government, and countless people threaten to fight the people of the country and protect the land by themselves.

The people who can run away are busy running, and the palace is also in a hurry, and in a hurry, everything that can be relocated in the huge palace is swept away and transported to Changsha, which is not easy.

King Chu Huai's favorite concubine Zheng Sleeve died, and there were few concubines in the palace who could see it, and the national disasters frequently lost the heart of the children's private feelings.

After several days of tossing and turning, the mighty team finally opened, on the day of migration, but saw a luxurious royal car, 10,000 forbidden troops and 3,000 maids and servants, plus nearly 800 members of the Qu family led by Qu beggars and 50,000 Qu soldiers, the huge capital relocation team went south to Dongting Lake in a hurry, and rushed to the new capital Changsha.

King Huai of Chu ran away with the royal clan rolls, and only Qu Yuan stayed in the royal city of Yingdu, and immediately passed the order to the tribes dominated by the old clan of Qu, Jing, Xiang and Huang, and the old clan gathered the soldiers of the fiefdoms of each department as soon as possible to open the army of Yingdu to defend against the enemy.

Time passed, three or five days passed in an instant, and the soldiers and horses gathered by various tribes to the royal capital were only 70,000 people, Qu Yuan saw that these soldiers were embarrassed by the name of the elite of the Chu army, and it was a rabble to say that it was ugly, how could they deal with the guards who thwarted the Qin army? How could 70,000 miscellaneous soldiers fight against well-trained and accomplished warriors?

Suddenly, Qu Yuan's heart was gloomy, and it seemed that he could only defend it. Seeing the quality of his own soldiers, he had to give up his original plan to go north to Dengcheng to meet the guards, and chose to stick to Yingdu on the spot.

Although it has been decided to move the capital to Changsha, but this land of Yan Ying is the ancestral land of the Chu State after all, and it is the root of the old Chu State for 700 years.

On this day, the white-haired Qu Yuan did not say anything about exhaustion, but his face was red and full of indignation, at this moment, nearly 80,000 troops gathered outside the royal city.

But seeing that Qu Yuan slowly climbed onto the platform of the general, facing the 80,000 soldiers of various tribes, he couldn't help but be in good spirits, and immediately said loudly: "When the national disaster is at hand, Mi Yuan only has a blood to spill!" ”

The 80,000 Chu troops all looked up at the general platform without saying a word, and for a long time, Qu Yuan's old and hoarse voice echoed in the sky above the royal city with grief and anger: "The soldiers of my Great Chu State, the guards have broken my Nanyang, Yingdu is in danger, the King of Chu has gone south, Qu Yuan implores the Chu people not to resent the monarch, as long as the King of Chu is here, the Chu State is worry-free!" ”

"The country of Chu is the land that raised my Jiang Han people, the land where the ancestors favored the descendants, and the hometown of our Chu ancestors for generations. Although Mi Yuan is a prisoner and is in charge of the judicial government, he is also a citizen of the Chu State. ”

"The state of Chu is here, and the country of Mi is here; The state of Chu is destroyed, and the original is dead! The blood of Mi Yuan is no different from you, all of them will always belong to the mountains and rivers of my Great Chu, and the rivers and mountains of Chu will be owned by us and other Chu people! ”

Qu Yuan's impassioned words of encouragement did not usher in the expected enthusiastic response, as soon as his words fell, the sky suddenly lost its voice, and the sea of people at the foot of the royal city was as silent as a deep space valley. What Qu Yuan was most afraid of was this sudden quiet atmosphere, for a long time, he looked at the eighty thousand Chu troops with a boundless indifference, and in a trance, a sense of horror came to his face.

Suddenly, the sudden sadness made Qu Yuan unable to control himself, and his old body trembled in excitement and opened his arms to the Chu people and shouted: "What? The people of the Chu State, what is wrong with Mi Yuan's words? ”

How so? Qu Yuan was horrified in his heart, didn't the people of Chu always admire him? Why don't they respond? Qu Yuan was unwilling and did not dare to believe that he was estranged from Yu Churen.

There has been no response for a long time, Qu Yuan's heart was like being struck by lightning, and at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the crowd: "We are waiting for the peasants to bleed, but the king of Chu has abandoned the country, why did Doctor Zuotu say all the good things for the king like this?" ”

"The country of Chu is the kingdom of the great king, and my king has abandoned the country, how can I have the will to resist the enemy?"

"Reasonable!"

The royal city, which had been quiet in the hollow valley, suddenly erupted.

The word "subordinate peasants" made Qu Yuan wake up, and then he thought that this army was composed of the children of slave farmers from major tribes, and the nobles and countrymen all protected the nobles of their respective tribes and fled to Changsha.

Qu Yuan couldn't speak for a long time, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

In the past, he also personally trained the new army, and almost all of the troops who cut down Qin were the children of the peasants, and these soldiers were all good at cutting down Qin in the early stage, and they were not brave men, and it was because of this that the Chu army was able to kill all the way to Xianyang City, why? Of course, Qu Yuan knew, because this was the result of his reforms, one of which was to abolish the slave farming system just like the changes of the Central Plains countries.

These slave children, as long as they are allowed to do the same meritorious service, can be equally rewarded, and this alone makes them brave men who are in the forefront of the battle.

Now the situation, the lord of the country fled south, the nobles fled, and when the catastrophe was imminent, these devastated lowly peasant officials and slaves were asked to resist the soldiers of the enemy country, and to defend their fiefs for the princes and nobles with blood and sweat, what a sad cry, how painful!

Qu Yuan was furious!

I couldn't help but hesitate and be angry about King Chu Huai's change of law, but thinking of the promise of the king in prison before, this anger gradually subsided, and suddenly, the children of the subordinate farmers saw that they admired the doctor Zuotu shouted again: "My people of the Chu State, after this battle, Mi was originally scheduled to be the master of the subordinate farmers of the Chu State, and immediately asked the king for his life, deposed the subordinate system of the Chu State, and if the subordinate system is not abolished, he will apologize for the crime with death!! ”

As soon as these words came out in everyone's ears, they were deafening in everyone's ears, like thunder on a dry day, like crying ghosts and gods in the world, and the foot of the royal city fell into silence again, but it did not last long, and in an instant, there was a sudden surge of mountains and a tsunami-like shout: "Long live Doctor Zuotu!" Defend the royal city to the death! Long live Dr. Zuo! Defend the royal city to the death! ”

In an instant, the morale of the 80,000 Chu army was in full swing, and Qu Yuan looked at the expressions of these subordinate peasants, leaving only excitement, anticipation and death. Qu Yuan firmly believed that as long as the people wanted and the people wanted, then the state of Chu would not die!

(PS: The map of the changes in the territory of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States in the stage of the battle of Wei Chu is updated in the new book friend group: 659050547, the latest map overview "Battle of the Hanging Sand" has been uploaded, and the major events in each stage and the changes in the territory of the countries are displayed in multiple maps at a map list, so that you can see the expansion situation of the defense and the rise and fall of the countries more intuitively, and interested students can enter the group to view.)

PS: Between the lessons of the last forced disbandment of the group, the reason is not much to explain, in short, now the general group has been hung, the new book friend group only accepts genuine supporters, namely: starting point Chinese network, genesis Chinese network, QQ reading three major first genuine platform readers and students, into the group to intercept the subscription map to upload the group album, in addition to the readers of the above platforms, the rest are pirated, even if they are paid, but still give money to pirated books, so the readers and students who are mistaken by pirates recognize the above three website platforms (APP), In short, between the so-called support of 1000 pirated readers and 1 support of genuine readers, of course, it is a backhand to choose the latter, which is so direct. )
