Update total: After the sacrifice to the ancestral temple, it will be the beginning of the year!

At the beginning of the year, the grand occasion of the dynasty was unprecedented, all the county orders and county magistrates of the five counties and 68 counties under the rule of Jiangdong had to participate in the court meeting, and all the military attachΓ©s above the county lieutenant level also had to attend.

There are many fresh faces among the civil and military generals on the left and right.

However, there are also several familiar faces missing, following the father Fan Zeng, Wujun Taishou uncle Sun Guan, Danyang Taishou Qu Yi and Huiji Taishou Wu Qi also died of illness successively, until now, all the people who serve as the county Taishou are young students who have learned from Taixue, they are all beneficiaries of the new law, and they are also firm supporters of the new law.

The ministers symbolically reported a few auspicious signs, and the dynasty ended at the beginning of the year, followed by a grand state banquet.

This is actually similar to the annual meeting of the enterprise in later generations, the civil and military generals who participated in the early years of the dynasty are the employees of the enterprise, they have worked hard for a whole year, and have created a lot of achievements for the Great Chu State, Xiang Zhuang, the boss should spend some money to invite everyone to get together and have a good meal, so as to encourage these employees to work harder next year.

When the feast was presented like a stream, the civil officials and military generals couldn't help but shout "Cai".

In the past ten years, the population of Chu has been more than a year, the grain harvest has been more than a year, the country has been stronger than a year, and the national feast has become more abundant year by year.

In the past ten years, although the overall situation of Chu has been stable, it has not been calm.

Twice, Chu and Liang were on the verge of war because of border frictions, and the Han army was behind these two incidents, considering that Chu was in a critical period of law change, and the government soldiers had not been trained, if a full-scale conflict broke out with Liang at this time, it would inevitably affect the process of law change, so Xiang Zhuang chose to compromise.

For this matter, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Gao Chu, Pang Yu and other generals were very sulking for a while, because the incident was obviously provoked by the Liang army first, and it was the Chu army who suffered, but the final result was that the doctor Wu Shi came forward and went to Dingtao with thousands of good horses and five hundred jars of wine to apologize to Peng Yue, the king of Liang.

Of course, Xiang Zhuang has not been idle in the past ten years, and before waiting for the results of the change, Xiang Zhuang also used the Ebony Cliff twice to create "auspicious signs" in Qi State. "It's the purple qi coming from the east again, and the green dragon is hiding around the beam for three days, trying to instigate Han Xin to be the emperor, Han Xin is indeed a little moved, but in the end, under Lou Jing's persuasion, he dispelled the idea of becoming the emperor.

Thanks to Qu Bucai's efforts, Ebony Cliff also successfully infiltrated the South Vietnamese State.

After careful preparations, Qu Bucai instigated the late Qin soldiers of the South Yue State to launch a mutiny, although in the end failed to overthrow the rule of Yue Tuo, but it was not without gains, more than 200,000 Chu State Zhuang Ding broke the Hengpu Pass and returned to Jiangdong, and the return of more than 200,000 Zhuang Ding greatly alleviated the shortage of Zhuang Ding in Jiangdong. …,

You know, because of the years of war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the ratio of men to women in Jiangdong has exceeded one to two, with the return of these 200,000 strong men, coupled with the fact that the Chu State followed the example of the Han State and implemented the national policy of Jun Yao service and equal calculation, the burden of the vast number of Li Shu people has been greatly reduced, and the women of childbearing age in Jiangdong soon had a high tide of fertility.

In the past ten years, a total of nearly one million women of childbearing age in Jiangdong have given birth to at least more than three million young babies, and the number of young babies that have survived in the end has exceeded two million, plus more than 200,000 Zhuang Ding who have suddenly returned, the total population of Chu has increased from more than 2.6 million jΔ« ten years ago to nearly 5 million now, but there are still only more than 1 million Zhuang Ding.

A million strong men have to feed five million people, so the pressure on the Chu State is still quite large.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the handicraft industry and commerce of the Chu State have been quite developed, so that they can plunder grain from the Central Plains countries and the South Yue State through trade to make up for the food shortage in Jiangdong, and so far, Taicang, located on the outskirts of Ziling, has accumulated more than one million stone rice grains, enough to support a major war!

In addition, Xiang Zhuang also successfully provoked a war between Korea and Zhao, but after Liu Bang intervened, the two countries quickly ceased war, which shows that Liu Bang is still very authoritative in the minds of all princes and kings, even Han Xin, before Liu Bang did not become ancient, he did not dare to rashly claim the emperor.

Due to Xiang Zhuang's crossing, history has undergone a series of changes.

Liu Bang in history only lived sixty-two years old, but Liu Bang in this time and space is already sixty-nine years old, and according to the information provided by Ebony Cliff, now Liu Bang is healthy, able to eat and drink, and he is not old at all, it seems that Liu Bang has at least ten years to live!

During these ten years, the Han Kingdom was also in a critical period of reform.

Therefore, Liu Bang didn't care about looking for Xiang Zhuang for the time being, but just followed Zhang Liang's advice and acted as a behind-the-scenes promoter twice, trying to provoke a war between Liang and Chu, but in the end he failed to succeed.

In addition, during the past ten years, the Han State was also constantly invaded by the Xiongnu, and there were deep grievances between the Han and the Huns.

Last winter, Jiuyuan and Mobei suffered a once-in-a-century snowstorm, and the Huns' cattle, sheep and livestock were frozen.

Wumuya just sent back the news yesterday, saying that Liu Bang had listened to Zhang Liang's suggestion and decided to use troops against Jiuyuan this spring when the Huns were in great mourning, and the Han general Zhou Bo had already assembled a large army near Fushi, and the hussar general Lu Tai also vigorously recruited Hu cavalry from the Yueshi, Xiutu, and Hun evil tribes in Hexi.

It seems that Liu Bang is preparing to recover Jiuyuan and completely remove the threat of the Xiongnu.

This gave the Chu State an opportunity, once the Han army and the Xiongnu started a war, the scale of this battle will not be small, and I am afraid that it will not end in a short time, so that the Han army will not have much spare strength to take care of other directions, and now the changes of the Chu State have come to an end, and the soldiers of the county governments have basically been trained, it is time to raise troops abroad!

At this critical juncture, Xiang Zhuang had to sum up with a few henchmen.

Therefore, Xiang Zhuang only showed his face at the state banquet and disappeared, Xiang Zhuang was also interested, he knew that with him present, these civil officials and military generals couldn't let go at all, and how many ministers dared to lose their temper in front of him Xiang Zhuang? It's better to leave, so that these civil officials and military generals who have been busy all year long can have a drink and a good time.

You must know that these civil officials and military generals are really hard, and changing the law is not something that can be achieved by talking about it, so a large number of officials have to go down to the grassroots level to do a lot of specific work, including important ministers like Xiang He and Bai Lixian, and there are also a lot of official affairs to deal with every day, especially the Dharma Protector Zhonglang General Cheshi, who has lost weight twice, but his wife is distressed. …,

The main hall of the palace and the square in front of the main hall were full of people, and more than 200 officials were drinking heartily.

The atmosphere in the side hall on the west side seems dignified, whether it is Xiang Zhuang, who is the chief officer, or Xiang He, Xiang Tuo, Baili Xian, Bi Shu, Wu She, and several other important ministers who are left and right, all of them have solemn expressions.

Xiang Zhuang's gaze suddenly fell on Bi Shu, and said, "Learn the sword, the soldiers of the government have all been trained, right?" ”

The so-called government soldiers are to set up a Zhichong Prefecture in each county, and the Zhichong Prefecture selects strong men from among the strong men in each county, and then divides them into four departments to take turns to train on a quarterly basis.

During the training period of the government soldiers, all the rations were provided by the state treasury, but the weapons and armor of the government soldiers had to be prepared by themselves, although the selected government soldiers had to spend an additional amount of money to buy weapons and armor, and they had to draw three months of training every year, but few government soldiers complained, and no one was willing to take the initiative to withdraw.

The reason is simple, and that is to reward military homework.

The reward military lesson clearly stipulates that if you kill a sergeant, you will be awarded the first rank!

Under the temptation of military exploits and titles, the soldiers of the government are all looking forward to war.

As early as ten years ago, Bi Shu had already begun to reform the military system and fully implemented the government military system in Chu State.

At that moment, Bi Shu arched his hand at Xiang Zhuang and replied: "Back to the king, the soldiers of the county government have all been trained, and the five major battalions have more than 200,000 infantry troops, including 100,000 shield armor soldiers, 60,000 spearmen, 20,000 flying spearmen, and 20,000 archers; There are also 40,000 cavalry and more than 60,000 war horses; There are 20,000 naval troops and more than 500 large and small warships! ”

Among them, the spearmen are a unique class of troops in the Chu army, and they are actually the spearmen of the West.

When facing cavalry, the spearman does not play much of a role, but when the main force of both sides is infantry, and the battle is already deadlocked, the spearman can play an unexpected role, and in any case, the javelin is far more lethal than the longbow and the crossbow.

Xiang Zhuang calculated, 30,000 forbidden troops plus 260,000 government soldiers, almost 300,000 troops.

In addition to the necessary garrisons in each county, about 250,000 people can be mobilized, and 250,000 troops are not much, but they are a lot, you know, this is 250,000 well-trained regular troops, not the people who were temporarily recruited by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang when they fought for hegemony, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

Bi Shu's voice fell, and Xiang He said worriedly: "King, even if more than 200,000 government soldiers have been trained, even if the doctor can really persuade the king of Linjiang and the king of Huainan to send troops together, but the road to Shu is difficult and dangerous, the army is not easy to march, and the transfer of grain and straw is even more difficult. ”

Listening to Xiang He's meaning, Xiang Zhuang seems to be intending to use troops against Bashu?

Xiang Zhuang pondered for a moment, and then asked Baili Xian: "Ziliang, what do you think?" ”

Bai Lixian shook his feather fan and said lightly: "If the Han army really wants to start a full-scale war with the Xiongnu, the minister thinks that this is an excellent opportunity for my Great Chu to seek Bashu." Speaking of this, Baili Xian said, "Bashu is thousands of miles in circumference, the ditches are vertical and horizontal, and the land is fertile, which can be described as the country of abundance. ”

PS: Recently, a lot of people in the book review area are saying strange things, and I don't want to pay attention to them, but on second thought, in order to prevent readers who have just read this book from being misled by these people with ulterior motives, I would like to say a few words.

It is true that there is a large time span between Books 5 and 6, but this is already in the outline.

Because the change of the law in the fifth volume has basically been explained clearly, and if the change wants to produce results, it is impossible to do it without ten or eight years, for such a long time, if you only write to dig people in Nanyue, and then go to Nanyang to find cotton, to the Middle East to find Arabian horses, it is too boring, so I skip it directly, skip to the completion of the reform of the Chu State, the completion of the military reform, at this time, the Han State has also completed the change, and the countries of the Central Plains have basically completed their recuperation, so that the war will be more conducive to the play of swordsmen, next, It's a continuous war drama...... οΌ‰
