Queen Ji Qi recommended Ji Zha to Qingji as a master to guide the princes' studies, which was well considered.

Because of Qingji's more than ten sons, several have reached the time of enlightenment and learning.

It would be great if they could be taught by a righteous gentleman like Ji Za, who had the style of an ancient sage!

Qingji secretly thought for a moment, and finally bowed slightly.

"Good."

Originally, Qingji also planned to exile his most stubborn son, Wu Xi, to the people for a few years to sharpen it.

If there is someone like Ji Za who is responsible for teaching, under the teaching of words and deeds, he must be able to change Wu Xi's character!

……

Zhufang was an important city in the Jianghuai River basin in the late Spring and Autumn period.

In 545 B.C., Qingfeng of Qi was defeated in the political struggle and went to Wu, and the king of Wu "gave Zhu Fang" and used this place of Zhu Fang as the mining of Qingfeng.

Seven years later, Chu led the princes to join forces to attack Wu and capture Zhufang County, which shows that it was an important battlefield between Wu and Chu, and was once occupied by Chu.

Zhu Fang was also the place where Wu State implemented the county system earlier.

Before Qingfeng went to Wu, Wu had already set up a county there.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, countries generally settled in the border areas for the deceased subjects of other countries to serve as a barrier against neighboring countries.

For example, the Duke of Chushen and the Wuchen Ben Jin, the fief Xingqiu, is the southern border of the Jin Kingdom.

Another example is that after Wu Ergongzi covered up Yu and Zhu Yong ran to Chu, the Chu people "made the residence raised" on the northeast border of Chu.

So who is this celebrity?

He has a great connection with Cui Zhu in "Cui Zhu Kills His Jun".

At that time, Cui Zhu and Qingfeng were both doctors of Qi State, and the two jointly killed the Duke of Qi Zhuang and jointly established the youngest son of the Duke of Qi Ling, Pestle, as the king, which is the Duke of Qi Jing, which is now the Marquis of Qi.

Cui Zhu established himself as the right minister, and Qingfeng was the left minister.

The Marquis of Qi was young, Cui Zhu was tyrannical, monopolized the power of the court, and shocked the Qi country.

Qingfeng was jealous and wanted to kill Cui Shu to replace him.

At this time, Cui Zhu's family made a family affair of abolishing Chang Lishu, and Qingfeng took advantage of the gap to lure Cui's children to fight with each other, and used fine armor weapons to help Cui Zhu's sister-in-law Cui Cheng and Cui Jiang stab to death the mastermind's retainers Dong Guo Yan and Tang Wujiao.

Cui Shu was furious, hurriedly went to see Qingfeng, crying about the changes that happened in the family, Qingfeng pretended not to know, and ordered his retainer Lu Pusha to lead the soldiers and horses to kill the whole family of Cui's wife and concubine son.

All the carriages and horses were also searched, and the portal house was burned, and then Cui Cheng and Cui Jiang's heads were brought to reply to Cui Zhu.

Cui Shu saw the heads of his two sons, both sad and angry, thanked Qingfeng again, boarded the car and returned home, the family was ruined, only to know that he was killed by Qingfeng, and he was extremely sad and hanged himself!

Qingfeng's final fate is similar to Cui Zhu.

After Qingfeng monopolized power, his cronies Lu Puqi and Wang He both rebelled and crusaded against Qingfeng, and the latter had no choice but to vote for Wu.

At that time, the king of Wu Yi took this place of Zhu Fang as a fief for Qingfeng, and gave him a generous salary, making him as rich as when he was in the Qi Kingdom.

However, the good times did not last long, and after the Chu army captured Zhufang County, the entire Qingfeng clan was all killed by the Chu people.

This is really a good reincarnation of heaven, who will be spared by the sky!

At this time, Qingji came to Zhufang County to inspect the local shipbuilding industry.

This place of Zhu Fang was originally a place where soldiers must fight, and more than 30 years ago, it was the place where Wu and Chu fought fiercely.

It's a pity that as the territory of Wu becomes more and more vast, Zhufang County has also become the mainland of Wu, and it is not too far from the capital Jinling!

Therefore, Qingji set up the largest shipyard in Zhufang County, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to find a large number of skilled craftsmen from all over the world, so that they could build ships in Zhufang County with peace of mind and develop the most advanced warships!

"Ten thousand years of the king! Ten thousand years of Wu Kingdom! ”

"Ten thousand years of the king! Wu Guo Wannian ......"

Accompanied by Shi Fan Li and Zuo Prime Minister Wen Chong, Qing Ji boarded a tall and sturdy building ship.

Qingji was wearing a tight-fitting samurai uniform at the moment, with a purple and gold crown to tie his hair, and he was dignified and heroic.

He stood at the front of the ship, his hands on his hips, and looked at the boatman waiting for his review on the other side.

The soldiers of the Wu State were like ordinary Wu soldiers, wearing crimson battle clothes, but they generally did not wear armor, rarely carried weapons, and at most pinned a bronze sword to their waists.

Because they are sailors at best, it is not their turn to charge into battle!

And in this era, water battles in general are rare.

Guy's warships are generally used to transport soldiers and horses or grain and straw, and in the real sense, there are very few battles in which warships and warships are fighting!

Wu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with a dense water network and close to the sea, and it is natural to vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry!

"Drumming!"

With the order of the generals on one side, the drums burst out, and the dull and murderous war drums immediately fully mobilized the fighting spirit of the soldiers on the warship.

This was just a military exercise, but under the review of Wu Wang Qingji, the officers and men of Wu Guozhou's division all cheered up one after another.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The shouts soared to the sky.

Angry!

I saw one huge ship after another sailing.

Since Qingji succeeded to the throne, he intended to vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry of Wu, and even made the warships no longer limited to inland rivers, but able to sail on the sea!

Under Qingji's repeated requests, the craftsmen of Zhu Fang's Ship Division also kept improving, and finally created a warship that could make Qingji slightly satisfied.

Above the vast general, a full eighty huge warships cruised back and forth.

At this time, these warships of Wu were twenty-two zhang long and about ten zhang wide, and compared with the warships of other countries of the same era, they were really like behemoths.

You must know that the warships of Wu are divided into several categories: large wing, middle wing, small wing, sudden attack, building ship, and bridge ship.

In the past, the big wing of Wu was "one zhang five feet two inches wide, twelve zhang long, and twenty-six guest soldiers...... Where ninety-one".

The three wings are the sharp weapons in the river water war in Wu, and the big wings are the first of the sharp weapons, the boat is slender and long, there are many oarsmen, and the speed is fast, which is a kind of fast warship.

The Raid is an assault ship with an angle of attack at the bow.

The tall ship is the capital ship in a water battle!

Bridge ships are small warships in water battles, flexible and light, and often take the lead in water battles.

In addition, the state of Wu also has a richly decorated building ship on which the king rides, which is the flagship in the water war!

And now, at the request of Qingji, the size of the Wu State warship has almost doubled!

Enough to laugh at the world!

It may not be possible to do the specifications of those treasure ships when going to the Western Ocean with Zheng He, but sailing in the offshore sea is not a problem at all.

In the later stage, Qingji will also increase investment in the shipbuilding industry, so as to facilitate the research and development of warships with a larger draft and can truly support the voyage to the sea!

That is, to continue to increase the tonnage of Wu warships, as well as excellent sailing performance, and constantly optimize!
