The state of Chu is the same as the state of Qi

It was one of the earliest vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty

There are many talents among the predecessors

Leave a great name in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period

King Chu Cheng

insulted Song Xianggong, who tried to dominate

I have admired the Jin Wengong before the hegemony

King Chuzhuang

A bird that doesn't fly for three years

Once soaring into the sky

Covet the Zhou Dynasty Baoding

Ambition is directed at Kyushu

King Chuping

Ignorant and lustful with villains

The wife of the son kills the loyal minister

once offended Wu Zixu

After death, he was dug out of his grave

When King Chu Zhao was king

Wu Zixu led the Wu army to defeat the state of Chu

The state of Chu entered a period of recuperation

And then through several generations of kings

Passed to the king of Chu mourning

At this time, the situation in the world has changed again

The three brothers of the Chu State and the Jin family fought several battles one after another

More losses and fewer wins

Later, it was with the help of the Qin State

I didn't lose the adult

King Chu mourned the glory of his predecessors

Lamenting their own desolation

Determined to recruit talents

Revitalize the state of Chu

Coincidentally

At this time, the famous general Wu Qi was ostracized in the Wei State

Loss of favor

For the happiness of the second half of life

He came to the state of Chu

A vacancy is waiting

A name all over the world

Monarchs and ministers met at one time

Work together to build fame

Wu Qi, who is famous all over the world, voted

The king of Chu was full of joy

originally wanted to directly appoint Wu Qi as Ling Yin

But the future of the country is at stake

Still cautious

I heard that General Wu was in the Wei State

I have done the West River Taishou

Now my Chu State Wancheng still lacks a Taishou

I wonder if the general can deign to govern it

Wu was a newcomer at first

It's also content to have a Taishou to do

What's more, it is also a professional counterpart

It's just the right time to show your talents

It can pave the way for future promotion

And he said yes

Go to Wancheng to take office

With the support of King Chu Mourning

Wu Qi used Wancheng as a test field

Launched the Wu reform

First of all

Rectify the rule of officials

Eliminate the incompetent

Crack down on corrupt officials

Select honest and promising people as officials

And then

Encourage the people to open up wasteland and farm

Vigorously develop agricultural production

So that Wancheng has sufficient food

And also

Linking rural grassroots organizations with the armed forces

Adult workforce

Busy production in the field

Military drills in his spare time

In times of war, you can go into battle and kill the enemy

Governance through Wu Qi's reforms

Wancheng has a new look

The government soldiers are well fed

The people live and work in peace and contentment

At the same time, Wu Qi also actively conducted social investigations

I have a general understanding of the situation in the state of Chu

People who make achievements are always respected

A year later

Wu Qi was transferred back to the capital city of Yingdu

King Chu Mourning invited Wu Qi to the palace

Ask him for advice with an open heart

Mr. Wu

Chu State over the years

Always being bullied by others

Can you tell me

What's the problem

The king didn't ask

I was about to say that

The problem of Chu is that

The power of the courtiers is too great

There are too many nobles with fiefs

The power of the courtiers is too great

will not obey the sovereign's dispatch and command

It will make the king lose his authority and credibility

There were too many fiefs of the nobility

will occupy too much fertile land

The state will not be able to collect its taxes

The treasury will be empty

The state will be weakened

Such a country goes out to fight with others

There was no other result than being beaten

King Chu Mourning nodded again and again

You've got it to my heart

That's up to you

How to solve these problems

The king will listen to my analysis first

The land of Chu is vast

The population is large

That's the advantage

Can be our land

Not fully utilized

Our population

Didn't really contribute to the country

Most of the land was occupied by the nobility

The majority of the population

To serve the nobility

One more point

The style of officialdom in the state of Chu is very poor

Discipline in the army is lax

The common people at the bottom are exploited

There is simply no incentive to develop production

In my opinion

If you want to enrich the country and strengthen the army

The only way to do this is to reform the law

King Chu slapped his thigh

Good

Just listen to you

The king of Chu who made up his mind

Feng Wu Qi as Ling Yin (an official second only to the King of Chu)

Carry out reform of the law

And it was announced on the same day

Ling Yin's order is my order

Those who dare to disobey

There is no mercy for killing

With great support

Wu Qi officially implemented the reform of the law in the state of Chu

It reads as follows

Preamble

This change

All laws and regulations are promulgated to the world

The officials and people of Chu State can understand the details

(I think it's a little bit of a sub-production to cast the penal code)

first

All the nobles of the fiefdom and population

Three generations later

No further inheritance is allowed

The landed population was re-state-owned

The nobleman who is now in office

Reduced salary

Shrink the fiefdom and population

second

Reform the bureaucratic system

Large-scale layoffs in various departments across the country

Reducing the number of officials

Lowering the salaries of officials

Narrowing the scope of officials' powers

third

Give a chance to a part of the nobility who are about to lose their privileges

Go to a remote place to start a second business

Go to the deserted land and cultivate it

fourth

Rectifying Corruption in Officialdom**

Procrastination and laziness

Those who continue to defy the wind

Severe punishment will not be granted

fifth

Reform the military system

Put the reduction of officials

Wage cuts

Savings in money

It is used to develop military construction

Armament expansion

Meritorious deeds are rewarded in the army

There are clear rewards and punishments

This combination punches down

The state of Chu soon became strong

As a result of this change

It's too hard

Too much force

The spread is too wide

Wu Qi was constantly subjected to reprisals from his victims

Scolding

insult

slander

Something that is common

Occasionally, there is a life-threatening situation

Fortunately, King Chu Mourning has always stood firmly behind Wu Qi

Only then can the reform be carried out

Trust has paid off

The state of Chu is in a brawl with his brothers

The fist hardened

381 BC

The state of Chu sent troops to aid the state of Zhao

Fought with the Wei army in the west of the state

The Chu army crossed the Liangmen

Garrison in the forest

Drink horses in the Yellow River

Cut off the connection between Hanoi County and the capital city of Anyi

The state of Zhao took advantage of the offensive of the state of Chu

Fire attacks thorns

Conquer the Yellow City

Chu and Zhao defeated the Wei army

The princes all began to re-examine the state of Chu

This giant who has risen again

Good news keeps coming from the front

King Chu finally tasted victory

Every day is spent in euphoria

Finally the little heart is overloaded

He's dead

After Wu Qi heard this

Immediately rushed to the palace to mourn

One last salute to the Lord of Knowledge

I don't know that those nobles have been waiting for Wu Qi for a long time

The king is dead

Your kid's backer is gone

You cut us off our money

Today we want your life

That's it

Wu Qi was besieged by everyone

Died next to the body of King Chu Mourning

A generation of famous generals

And so it fell

Wu Qi died because of the implementation of the reform

However, after the change, the state of Chu continued to be strong

When it came to King Chu Xuan

The Chu army invaded Bashu

Take control of the Hanzhong region

Attacked Wei several times

Regulate the relationship between Wei and Qi

King Chu Wei after King Chu Xuan was even more domineering

First, he went south and defeated the Yue Kingdom

Then he waved his army north

Confronted the State of Qi in Xuzhou

King Chu Wei and King Qi Wei face off

As a result, King Chu Wei won a big victory

After this battle

The power of the state of Chu reached its peak

It became the only country that could compete with the Qin State at that time

The princes of Qin and Twilight

Hengcheng is the Qin Emperor

Zongcheng is the king of Chu

It is the best portrayal of the state of Chu during the period of King Chu Wei

The so-called pinnacle

The other half means the landslide that follows

After the death of the heroic King Chuwei

He was succeeded by King Chu Huai

At the beginning of his tenure

He has also magnified the aura of his ancestors

Destroyed the powerful Yue Kingdom

But the greatest sorrow of a hero is this

The time of debut is the day of the peak

After that, King Chu Huai took a completely different path

That day

The state of Qin sent envoys to visit the state of Chu

Envoys from major powers visited

King Chu Huai held a high-level reception

The messenger offered a gift

king

Today

The strongest is the Three Kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu

The state of Qin is slightly stronger

Qi Chu's strength is comparable

If Qin Qi unites

then Qi is strong

Qin-Chu united

then Chu Qiang

The king of Qin intended to unite with the state of Chu

I don't know what the king wants

King Chu Huai was very happy

I can't ask for it

The messenger changed his words

If the king is sincere, he is good friends with Qin

You need to break off friendship with Qi first

Of course

The State of Qin will not treat the State of Chu badly

The king of Qin is willing to send him 600 miles of land

King Chu Huai listened

There are such good things

Despite the dissuasion of the ministers

Immediately responded

King Chu Huai was happy

Soon cut off relations with Qi State

Then he sent an envoy to Qin to ask for 600 li of land

The envoy did not see the King of Qin

I only saw the Qin envoy who sent an envoy to the state of Chu

Qin envoy pretended to be surprised

What 600 miles of the Qin State

I mean 6 miles of my own land

You King Chu want to go crazy

The envoy returned home on a mission

Only then did King Chu Huai know that he had been fooled

Send troops to attack Qin

Ask for an explanation for yourself

The State of Qi and the State of Qin, who didn't want to be abandoned, got together

The Qin-Qi coalition defeated the Chu army

The Hanzhong area of Chu was occupied by Qin

That's good

Didn't smell the fragrance

Also lost a piece of meat

King Chu Huai was a solid wrongdoer

A few years later

The monarch of Qin is the king of Qin Zhao

King Qin Zhao was afraid that the two kingdoms of Chu and Qi would unite again

began to woo the state of Chu again

These countries are inherently separated

King Chu Huai constantly tasted the sweetness of the Qin State

and Qin Guo's eyebrows again

Originally, Chu made a good alliance with Qi, Zhao, Wei and Han

It is necessary to work together to deal with the Qin State

As a result, King Qin Zhao played a big game all of a sudden

married his daughter to the son of King Chu Huai

King Chu Huai felt that Qin Guo was really emotional

withdrew from the anti-Qin alliance

This stabbed the hornet's nest

The alliance of the three kingdoms of Qi, Han and Wei

Attack the state of Chu

How could the state of Chu withstand such a blow

It was all at once spent

King Chu Huai hurriedly sent the crown prince to the Qin State

As a mortgage

Ask the Qin State to send troops

As soon as the Qin State sent troops

Then the three kingdoms also withdrew

The prince of Chu also stayed in the Qin State

But the bad thing is also bad for this prince

Soon he caused great trouble for the Chu State

The prince of Chu remained in the state of Qin as a hostage

It's not going to be easy

Let's not talk about eating and sleeping unaccustomedly

I was also bullied from time to time

Once

An official of the Qin State teased him again

Prince Chu couldn't bear it

Draw your sword and kill each other

Then he fled back to the state of Chu

The state of Qin used this as a reason

Unite the three kingdoms of Qi, Han and Wei to attack the state of Chu

Chu State is begging for mercy while parrying

That's what counts

The second year

Qin Guoxian is bored

Turned this thing over again

Troops sent to the state of Chu

Kill 20,000 Chu troops

It also occupied the Xiangling Tomb of the Chu State

King Chu Huai had no choice but to ask Qi for help

The Qin State is really cunning and cunning

Look at the state of Chu to unite the state of Qi

Immediately changed his face

Wrote a letter

About the peace talks of King Chu Huai at Wuguan in the Qin State

King Chu Huai was a little undecided

Fighting with Qin was a last resort

It's not that I'm forced to be helpless

No one wants to fight a powerful scoundrel

Now the scoundrels want a truce

To go or not to go

That's a problem

The ministers were also talking

The main battle and the main and the main are both

Then

Someone shouted

king

Don't go

Qin is a scoundrel

Let's take a look

It turned out to be Qu Yuan, a doctor from Sanlu

Qu Yuan shouted as he walked up the hall

The state of Qin is a wolf

Qin is a wolf

They never spoke of faith

Aren't we deceived by him badly enough?

Last time, I said that I would give 600 li of land

As a result, we were used as monkeys

This time, the king was invited

It's definitely not good

Listen to Qu Yuan say this

Many ministers chimed in

Right

Can't go

There are those who are not afraid of death

There are those who are afraid of death

Some ministers who were afraid of war were a little shaken when they saw King Chu Huai

Hurry up your voice too

king

I don't think Qin Guo has any malice this time

I just want to reconcile

Again

Go meet up

We will be able to return the land that Qin occupies us

Spare our people from the scourge of swords

This is the responsibility of being a king

Some arguments

After several struggles

King Chu Huai is on his way

As soon as I arrived at Wuguan

King Chu Huai was detained

Escorted to Xianyang, the capital of Qin

The King of Qin put the King of Chu Huai under house arrest

forced him to cut the ground

King Chu Huai who has arrived at home

This time it finally broke out

I won't cut the ground if I kill me

Several attempts to escape

unsuccessful

Depressed

After going through these things

The state of Chu no longer has the ability to compete with the state of Qin

The story of the state of Chu

That's all for it

For the rest of the time

Let's talk about the Qin State
