Why did Qingji insist on participating in the Central Plains War?

Because Qingji knows that after this melee in the Central Plains, the time, place and people will be on Zhao Ying's side.

When the Jin State Zhengqing Zhiwenzi Xun Song died, his deputy in the army Zuo Zhao Ying, by virtue of his high position in the army, succeeded Xun Song as the new ruler of the Jin State with an overwhelming advantage, ending the political pattern of "Zhi is in charge and Zhao is outside".

Since then, Zhao Ying has cultivated both inside and outside, completely concentrated the military, political, diplomatic, judicial and other national powers, and became the third Zhengqing of the Zhao family of the Jin State after Zhao Dun and Zhao Wu!

Zhao Ming Jinqing, real monopoly and promotion power!

From 493 BC onwards, Zhao Ying began a seventeen-year dictatorship over the Jin state.

Zhao Ying's reign was the inevitable result of the development of the Jin Shiqing system, and of course, it was also due to the short life of the previous consul Zhisong.

Xun Song's successor, Xun Shen, is a mediocre but somewhat stubborn heir, he has a large gap with his father in terms of ability and qualifications, and his vitality is average.

And Han Buxin and Wei Hao are destined not to have much friction with Zhao Ying, and Zhao Ying's dictatorship will come naturally......

This is something that Qingji will never tolerate.

Because Zhao Ying, this person, is a generation of heroes, and his mind and resourcefulness are far from being comparable to the previous Jin Zhengqing Xun Song, Shi Ying, and Wei Shu.

Under the reign of Zhao Ying, the Jin State must restore its hegemony and increase the blockade of the Southern Wu State!

How can Qingji not be afraid?

However, if you have a hard fight with the Jin State, Wu Guo can't beat it at all......

Qingji had to admit this cruel truth.

It has not been many years since the rise of the Wu State, which is equivalent to an upstart, even if he has abundant financial resources and a sharp military revolution, how can he compete with the Jin State, which is strong and has a strong background?

Historically, until 403 BC, King Weilie of Zhou appointed Han Qian, Zhao Ji, and Wei Si as princes.

The Jin Kingdom still exists.

Do you want to make Qingji wait for more than 90 years?

No.

Zhao Ying has about twenty years to live, but Qingji is confident that he can survive Zhao Ying.

It's just that the rising stars such as Zhao Wuxian and Zhiyao are not good at stubble......

Besides, how can Qingji wait for 20 years?

"Hong'er, Heng'er, you all step down."

"Son's resignation!"

After Gongzi Heng and Gongzi Hong left, only Qingji was left in the huge Zide Palace, sitting there and falling into deep thought.

Participating in the melee in the Central Plains and competing for hegemony with the Jin State is undoubtedly an extra adventure for the Wu State, which has risen to the top and become the hegemon.

However, can't Wu Guo afford to lose?

No!

Wu can afford to lose!

It's just that once it loses and is defeated, the state of Wu will face a crusade from the Central Plains countries led by the state of Jin, and then there will be various times to encircle and intercept it.

Such a result will obviously not satisfy Qingji.

Twenty years is too long, and the widow is seizing the day!

Thinking of this, Qingji's gaze gradually became resolute.

He must wait for a suitable time to lead the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Wu State to participate in the melee in the Central Plains, win this battle, and dismember the behemoth of the Jin State!

……

It was November, and the wind was cold and snowy.

As far as the eye can see, there is a white world everywhere.

The fine snow drifts down from the sky along with the wind, dotting the great rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River......

Even in the south, it has rarely snowed heavily.

It's just that this cold weather is not as good as the scene of "thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow" in the north.

The climate in Jiangnan is slightly mild and pleasant, but it is also a picture of a little ice crystal falling.

At this time, in Shanglin Yuan outside Jinling City, a group of monarchs and ministers of Wu State were holding a grand hunting activity.

To be precise, "Winter Hunting"!

Hunting is one of the earliest livelihood skills mastered by human beings, with the development of human civilization, hunting has gradually taken on the multiple properties of entertainment, military and sports, and has become a collective comprehensive sport for martial arts training, physical fitness, invigorating spirits and seeking harvests.

In the "Zhou Li", it is recorded that the king's four seasons of field hunting, which are called spring search, summer seedling, autumn hunting, and winter hunting.

In this era, hunting was a military ritual, a comprehensive exercise for military training.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"

The horn sounded full of murderous aura, and Qingji slowly stepped off his Six Imperial King cars under the watchful eye of everyone.

In order to realize the dignity of Qingji's identity, when Qingji gets off the bus, there must be a temple person who kneels on the ground to make it convenient for him to come down.

In Qingji's view, this is a degrading thing, but the temple people are proud of it.

Not only the temple people, but also the dog's legs like Gou Jian, are not necessarily ashamed......

"Ten thousand years of the king! Great Wu Wannian! ”

After Qingji stepped out of the car of the six royal kings, the ministers and doctors who had been waiting here for a long time, as well as thousands of soldiers of the Wu army, all shouted in unison, declaring their love for the king.

This is a grand hunting event, and all ministers and doctors who have an official rank of more than 600 stone in the court must participate, as well as their family scrolls.

Qingji has already clearly stipulated that all the children of nobles, after being crowned, have no other affairs, and those who live in the capital must participate in the hunt to strengthen their health......

Of course, the ultimate goal of the hunt is to maintain the martial spirit of the Wu State.

Whether it is the children of the royal family or the descendants of ordinary nobles, they must participate in the hunt.

Facing the cold wind, Qingji wore a dark samurai uniform, with a jade belt around his waist, a Longyuan sword pinned to his waist, a purple and gold crown to tie his hair, and a fox fur fur on his body, which played an extremely warm effect......

It is conceivable that even the king of a country like Qingji has to hunt.

As King Wu, Qingji must set an example.

Hunting is also one of the great pleasures of Qingji now, second only to fishing and playing chess.

"Ten thousand years of the king! Great Wu Wannian! ”

In the midst of the mountains and tsunamis, Qingji strode up to the quadrangle.

Qingji held the Longyuan sword in one hand, looked around, looked at the ministers and doctors under the quadrangle, and the soldiers who were strong and stubborn, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Zhenlu Spring Search, then sacrifice to the society." The summer seedlings are used to enjoy the seeds. ”

"If you govern the autumn season, you will worship it. The big parade winter hunting is to enjoy the fire. ”

"The emperor of the ancients, searching for summer seedlings in spring, hunting in autumn and winter: go out to the suburbs at four o'clock to show his martial arts in the world."

"Today, when the four seas are disturbed, it is just borrowing the field to hunt to talk about martial arts!"

After a pause, Qingji smiled slightly: "Since the widow inherited the throne and came to the Wu Kingdom, many hunts have been held, all of which were opened by the widow!" ”

"This winter hunt is different!"

"The widow takes this opportunity to review the three armies, and it is the princes who start the hunt!"

As soon as they heard this, the ministers and doctors present all expressed no objection.

"Do as the king commands!"
