Chapter 307: People's Hearts
The occupation of Jiangdong made the cloth soar into the sky, and it jumped from a small Shili in a corner to a separatist Liliang comparable to Qin, Chu, Wei, Changsha, and South Vietnam.
After the Western Chu State suddenly lost its Jiangdong foundation, it only retained the ten counties around Pengcheng, including Dongjun, Dangjun, Chenjun, Surabaya, Xuejun, Langya, Qi, Donghai, Jibei, and Jiaodong, and the strength was greatly reduced, and what was more serious was that after years of war, most of the people in these places were displaced.
Xiang Yu, who was on the sickbed, was so angry after hearing the news of the loss of Jiangdong that he wanted to turn over and lead the Chu army to the south to conquer the cloth, but he didn't want to turn black for a while, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the front placket around him.
Only when people are unlucky can they show people's hearts.
Xiang Yu's pampered Jiangdong Wumei also had no intention of welcoming Xiang Yu at this time, these beauties let them sing and dance, and letting them serve the patients is obviously not their strength.
Yu Ji, who had been neglected for many days, appeared at the most suitable and most needed time for Xiang Yu, this weak woman in Yu Di was like a locust tree that would not fall down no matter how it blew, digging her roots deep into the soil, quietly releasing her own unique fragrance in the place where the flowers bloomed.
Such a woman met Xiang Yu, a reckless man.
I have to say, this is really a creation of people.
In September, the thief army of Jiujiang swept through the entire Huiji County, and then established the country on its own, and also named the country as Chu, according to the words of Di Bu, Lu Ze and others, the orthodoxy of the Chu State is no longer with Xiang Yu, but should be inherited by them.
As a result, in the land of the original Chu State, two Chu States appeared. The Chu regime established by Xiang Yu was collectively referred to as Western Chu, and the Chu regime established by Duo Bu was called Eastern Chu.
October 1.
Dubu moved the capital to Moling and officially restored its original name: Yingbu. At the same time, the Eastern Chu army began to train the sailors on the side of the river, and prepared to march north.
――。
These drastic changes that occurred within the Chu State were dazzling and dizzying.
However, for Li Yuan, who was thousands of miles away, the battle between Yingbu and Xiang Yu could only be seen lively at best. Instead of sending a secret party to the Koto area to collect some information, it will be needed in case it is needed to recover these places in the future.
In this era, the restrictions of traffic conditions, so that the time on the road is far more than the time of implementation, often the edict issued by the imperial court has been implemented in the Guanzhong area for a few months, and to Yandi, Hexi and other places. But it has only just begun.
For the same reason, the appointment and dismissal of officials and their arrival are also difficult problems, and an official sent by the central government has to reach these border counties. Unless you march day and night on fast horses, as in the march of an army, two or three months are the normal time required on the road. Such a situation was very unfavorable to the development of the Qin State.
Rebuild the gallop road.
Let the "highway" to the 36 counties under heaven vigorously promoted by the First Emperor be re-opened, which became an urgent issue for the development of the Qin State for a while.
In addition to roads, there are also many other internal affairs. As the Qin army occupied one new annexed area after another, the three carriages of Qin's internal affairs: Prime Minister Chen Ping, Tingwei Menghu, and Imperial Historian Li Zheng were also busy, of course, this is a happy trouble, what they need to worry about is who to send to these places, and the appointment of this candidate is very crucial, because according to the laws of Qin, once the subordinate official is corrupt or betrayed, the superior official who is promoted and recommended will also be held responsible, and the severe one will be imprisoned for this.
This kind of decree derived from the Legalist doctrine was carried out coldly without the slightest emotion, but it was precisely with such a system that the internal affairs of the Qin State could be carried out in an orderly manner.
For Chen Ping, Meng Hu, and Li Zheng, the central officials of the Qin State, there has always been a shortage of manpower around them in the past few years, and they finally cultivated one, and in the blink of an eye, they were sent to a new place to serve. This kind of tension and urgency made Chen Ping and his people like a fast horse that was constantly accelerating, although he worked hard again and again, he still couldn't catch up with the pace of Qin's expansion.
So, after hearing the news of the Qin army's occupation of Yandi for the first time, Chen Ping and the others were not elated, but their faces were numb for a while, and then they all let out a loud sigh, and several people got together during the court meeting, discussing not other things, but asking the other party if there was a super talent in his hand who could do a few things alone.
Where is the talent?
Of course, in the people, in the township, in the unknown corner, fortunately, with the strength of the Qin State, the number of people who oppose Qin and hate Qin is slowly decreasing, and through the recommendation of the township fathers, the number of Kwantung people who hold official positions in various counties begins to increase. This is a haode sign, which shows that people like the hometowns of Zhao, Han, and Wei have once again begun to accept the Qin state, and from the bottom of their hearts recognize this new Qin regime under Li Yuan's rule.
After experiencing the surging anti-Qin wave, many people of insight began to calm down, thinking about what the destructive military conquest had brought to the people, and thinking that the Qin state could rise again in a short period of time.
October.
A familiar name was appointed as the exclusive official in charge of the roads of the Qin State: Li Shang.
The former general of the Han State, the brave general of Liu Bangxi's expeditionary army, after living in seclusion for nearly a year, was finally unwilling to be lonely out of the mountain, at the beginning, Li Shang's determination to choose to return to seclusion was not resolute, he just couldn't pull it down for a while, after all, his cousin Li Shiqi died indirectly in the hands of Li Yuan.
And now, times have changed.
At the beginning, those who might have laughed at him as a merchant either died, or went into seclusion, or fled to the Jiangdong area, and followed Yingbu to rob the house.
Qin Guoxiong occupies more than half of the 36 counties in the world according to the Central Plains, and Li Yuan, the Shenwu Marquis of Qin, has repeatedly created the myth of being undefeated on the battlefield, and what is more important is that Li Yuan is young enough, even Xiang Yu has already passed the age of establishment, while Li Yuan is only forty out of twenty.
It is better to bully the old than to bully the young.
Seeing that the great cause of the unification of the Qin State will be completed in a few years, if they live in the Qingyang Palace in Shudu again, the Li Shang will really have no chance to come out, and at that time, the Li family may really have no hope. Thinking of this, Li Shang finally decided to make a comeback as soon as possible when Li Yuan still remembered him, when there were still acquaintances such as Lu Jia in the Qin court.
