Chapter 616: The People of the Relocation of Chu Land

The people of Chu land moved to the nine counties in the south and southwest of Wuguo?

In Qingji's opinion, this is too dangerous.

Not to mention whether the Pu people, Dian people, Ailao people, Baiyue people and other foreign races in Lingnan and southwest can absorb hundreds of thousands of Chu people, if they are too far away from Wu proper, once a rebellion occurs.

Out of reach, Wu had to pay a great price to successfully suppress the rebellion.

In this way, it is inevitable that some gains will outweigh the losses.

Qingji really wants to vigorously develop the south, but he will not do it at the expense of his own vitality.

Before Qingji, he had forcibly relocated the Dian people, Baipu people, and Ailao people in the three southwestern counties, as well as 50,000 Luo Yue people in Lingnan, and more than 500,000 people settled in Wu County.

For so many years, due to the strong deterrence of Wu Jun, it can be regarded as peaceful.

Now, having annexed the state of Chu and completed the unification of the south, he doesn't just want to make a small fuss on this one-third of an acre of land in the south.

The six counties of Lingnan and the three counties of the southwest, what is that?

It's almost deserted!

Dead soil!

It was not until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that the south was vigorously developed.

Until the Ming and Qing dynasties, Lingnan and the southwest were still a major choice for exiled prisoners......

It can be imagined that it took more than 1,000 years for all dynasties in history to start the development of the southwest and Lingnan.

Therefore, Mo said that it is in the generation of Qingji, even if it is dozens of generations, hundreds of years of sparing no effort to develop, may not be able to turn the three counties in the southwest and the six counties in Lingnan into a fertile soil......

This leads to the fact that, in Qingji's view, it is not advisable to move hundreds of thousands of Li Shu from Chu to the south.

"Father, son, I think that the remnants of the old Chu land can not be migrated......"

At this time, Gongzi Heng, who didn't want Gongzi Xi to be beautiful in front of others, immediately stood up and bowed to Qingji.

"If the remnants of Chu land rebel, what can I do?"

Qingji glanced at Gongzi Heng deeply.

What is the population of the remnants of the hinterland of the state of Chu?

More than a million!

The reason why Qingji and others said that it was "hundreds of thousands" was that Chu included the original lands of Lu, Yong, E, Deng, and Jiao, and they would not necessarily be interested in Chu.

The hinterland of Chu is thousands of miles away from the mainland of Wu, even if it is not in the transportation conditions

Gongzi Heng replied: "Father, the son has a countermeasure, which can make the remnants of Chu not dare to rebel, and can make them return to their hearts!" ”

"What is the solution?"

Qingji asked with squinted eyes.

“……”

Gongzi Heng opened his mouth, but he stopped talking, as if he was afraid of Qingji's guilt.

However, Gongzi Heng finally lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Father, son-in-law have the courage to ask my father to move the capital to Ying, or move the capital to Wancheng." ”

"In this way, the rule of Wu in the south will be stabilized and suppressed everywhere!"

Hiss!

Gongzi Heng's proposition is really bold!

Licentious!

Ministers such as Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Fan Li and other ministers couldn't help but be dumbfounded after hearing Gongzi Heng's idea.

However, they also have to admit it.

Gongzi Heng's proposition is very fruitful.

It's just that it may be biased.

As the saying goes, you can't have both fish and bear's paws!

Lose in hake, but gain in herring.

If you give something, you will get it!

If the state of Wu moves its capital to Ying, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Specifically, whether the pros outweigh the disadvantages, or whether the disadvantages outweigh the pros.

Even if it is a far-sighted talent like Sun Wu and Fan Li, it is difficult to say......

"No!"

Hearing Gongzi Heng's proposal to move the capital, before Qingji could speak, Gongzi Xi, who was standing on the side, changed color and said to Qingji: "Father, what Brother Heng said, Da Miao!" ”

"Jinling, for the military, political and economic center of my Wu country, my father has set the capital in Jinling for more than ten years, and Wu has prospered and achieved hegemony."

"Jinling is the land of Longxing for my Wu Kingdom, how can I move at will?"

"It is undeniable that Yingdu and Wancheng are indeed important towns in the world, and the relocation of the capital of Wu to there can ensure the peace of the homeland and the peace of the community."

"However, what is the foundation of my Wu Kingdom?"

"The foundation of the state of Wu lies in Jiangdong, not Jiangxi, and the capital is moved at every turn, especially from Jinling to Yingdu or Wancheng, I am afraid that the subjects of the state of Wu will have objections."

"This is the foundation of the country, and I am afraid that my Wu country will have elbow and armpit diseases, and I will be in danger of being tired in the future!"

“……”

What Gongzixi said is not unreasonable.

In fact, this is the public saying that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable!

Even if it's a celebration, it's hard to choose for a while.

"Father!"

Gongzi Heng immediately retorted: "Although Jinling has a royal spirit, the dragon is in control, and it controls Jianghuai, but it lives in the southeast corner. ”

"If the capital is always set in Jinling, the retainers are afraid that the hegemony of my Wu State will be limited to the south, not the world!"

"The geographical location of Wancheng and Yingdu is dangerous, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is a place of tangible victory, which can be attacked and defended."

"If the capital is moved to Ying, then my Wu country can live in the center of the country, so that the straight road, the gallop road, and even the water network and transportation extend in all directions, not limited to one pattern, so that the counties and counties of Wu have different intentions, and dare not act rashly!"

After a pause, Gongzi Heng said again: "Besides, Yingdu was originally the royal capital of Chu State, and there is a natural palace fortress, so you don't need to build many projects in Wu State, and you can move in after repairing it." ”

"If the capital is moved to Wancheng, then our Wu State can go further, get closer to the Central Plains, unite the Central Plains princes such as Song, Zheng, Lu, and Wei, compete for hegemony with the Jin State, and lay the foundation for Great Wu to become the overlord of the world!"

"Please think twice!"

Gongzi Heng's foresight is not comparable to ordinary people.

Moving the capital to Wancheng, or moving the capital to Ying, is of great benefit to the state of Wu.

It's just that there are drawbacks and risks.

Back then, Qingji sought hegemony in the Central Plains, attacked the land of Wangji of the Zhou royal family, and when he was with Zheng Guo, Fan Li once persuaded Qingji to move the capital to Wancheng.

However, after weighing the pros and cons at that time, Qingji did not adopt Fan Li's proposition.

Now the story is revisited, what can I do?

You must know that the general trend of the world will change.

Today's Wu State is no longer the Wu State of the past.

Whether it is to dominate the world or to stabilize the land of Chu, Wu must strongly suppress Li Shu, who was originally in the hinterland of Chu.

Let them not dare to act rashly.

"The king, the minister thinks what Heng Gongzi said is very true."

Standing on the side, Shi Fan Li bowed to Qingji and said: "Jinling, as the royal capital of my Wu country, has carried the national fortune of Dawu for more than ten years, which is enough!" ”

"Now the situation is trending, the great enemy of Wu State, the trouble of the henchmen, is for the Jin State, not the rest of the countries."

"Therefore, the minister thought that the king should follow the proposition of Prince Heng and move the capital to Wancheng to consolidate the country!"

“……”

Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, and Yang Hu couldn't help but take a deep look at Fan Li.
