Chapter 694: Self-reliance

Among the six kings of the Jin Kingdom, the most war horses are none other than the Zhao family, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family.

Because their fiefs were mostly in the north of the Jin Kingdom, Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan in later generations, they were rich in war horses.

If you want to say that the most lacking thing in Wu is the war horse!

The state of Wu is located in the south.

The southern roads are rough, there is too much rain, there are many ponds, many depressions, and many bathing areas, which are not suitable for the breeding habits of horses.

Due to the living habits of horses, they are good at running, and various obstacles in the south greatly limit the living habits of horses.

Therefore, the most suitable living environment for horses is the vast grassland and the Gobi Desert.

In fact, for a country, the lack of horse breeding land leads to a lack of cavalry, which is a bit far-fetched.

However, the disadvantages of southern horses over northern horses can be seen.

Anyway, among the many horses raised by Wu Guofu, there are not many horses that can really be used as war horses, and most of them are horses, that is, horses used to escort grain, grass and baggage carts......

Qingji asked the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan for so many war horses in one go, naturally wanting to build a powerful cavalry force.

"Fanzi, Zhongxingzi, the southern part of my Wu country, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the population still needs to be filled, I wonder if the two of you can help me Wu Guo?"

Bo said with a smirk.

Hearing this, Shi Jishu and Zhong Xingyin's faces were not very good-looking.

A family of 1,500 good horses, isn't Qingji still satisfied?

This is almost emptying out their families!

Although the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan can be regarded as a big clan, each with hundreds of military chariots and thousands of horses.

However, all the things you want are good horses!

How does this work?

However, the situation is stronger than people!

They have a request for help!

Shi Ji lowered his head and said: "King, if I can make my Fan clan among the princes, then in addition to 1,500 good horses, the Fan clan should also move to Wu Land with 10,000 Li Shu, and let the king fall!" ”

"It's the same with the Bank of China!"

Zhong Xingyin followed and said.

20,000 households, that is more than 100,000 people!

Population can be said to be the foundation of the country and the foundation of the society.

Qingji was also unwilling to exploit the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan too much, so that they would not be able to compete with the Zhi, Han, Zhao, and Wei clans in the future, so they agreed.

When Bo Ji was still planning to make further advances and further put forward conditions, he was interrupted by Qingji waving his hand.

After all, you have to be forgiving and forgiving.

If the persecution is too much, it will inevitably lead to Shi Jishu and Zhong Xingyin turning their faces against themselves and not recognizing people.

This time, Qingji got 3,000 good horses and 20,000 households of Li Shu, isn't it fragrant?

Fragrant!

Let the Fan family and the Bank of China clan be among the princes in the future, which can be described as a big game of chess for Qingji.

He clearly wanted to split the Jin State and make the Wu State the strongest country in the world.

What can I do?

Why didn't Qingji want the fiefdoms of the Fan family and the Zhongxing clan, and let Shi Jishu and Zhongxingyin become the secretary of Wu?

Qing Ji is worried about it, that is, Erqing's cutting is constantly sorted out and messy.

This piece of territory located in the Central Plains, if it belongs to the State of Wu, the surrounding States of Qi, Weiguo, and Zheng State will inevitably covet it in the future, and even attack it en masse.

The "remnants" of the Jin Kingdom, Zhi, Han, Zhao, and Wei Siqing, will not give up.

In case the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan were beaten by a group, how could Wu Guo sit idly by?

If you sit idly by, the enclave of Wu will be gone, and there will be nothing.

If Qingji sends troops to help, I'm afraid it will still outweigh the losses......

Rather than this, it is better to ask for the population and war horses, and take advantage of them directly.

After Shi Jishu and Zhong Xingyin left, there were only three people left in the huge Chinese army tent, Qingji, Fan Li, and Bo Biao Junchen.

Bo Yan, who was standing behind him, looked puzzled, and asked, "King, why do you have to let the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan be among the princes?" ”

"If this is the case, the minister is afraid that the king will attract the criticism of the people of the world and fall into notoriety."

Bo Ji had to worry about Qingji.

After all, it is difficult to convince the public to let Zhou Tianzi canonize doctors like Shi Jishu and Zhong Xingyin as princes.

In the final analysis, the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan were originally vassals of the Jin State.

According to the consistent principle of the sub-feudal system, the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals.

Zhou Tianzi could not interfere in the internal affairs of the Jin Kingdom, but the Son of Heaven, who had the name of righteousness, was indeed qualified to be canonized as a prince!

It's just that it can have a very bad effect.

Seeing this, powerful clans like Zheng Guo Qimu and Lu Guo Sanhuan couldn't help but yearn for it?

Even the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan can be ranked among the princes, why can't they?

That's off to a bad start!

Of course, Qingji doesn't care about any of this.

The three families are divided, and the Tian family is in charge of this kind of thing, and Qingji will only let them stage it in advance.

As for whether the princes will raise objections, or even blatantly send troops to destroy Fan and Zhongxing, it is not something that Qingji has to consider.

If his purpose is achieved, why not get out of the way?

"The widow and now worry about it is nothing more than Fan, the Bank of China, and the country?"

Hearing this, Fan Li, who was standing on the side, smiled slightly and said, "King, I'm afraid this is very difficult." ”

"The Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan are sandwiched between the four kingdoms of Qi, Zheng, Wei, and Zhongshan, as well as Zhi, Han, Zhao, and Wei Siqing."

"However, if the four clans of Zhi, Han, Zhao, and Wei, follow the example of the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, it is not impossible to ask the Son of Heaven to make himself a prince and establish a country on his own."

"Good."

If that's the case, it's a joy to see.

The strength of the Jin State is unquestionable.

Even if the three families were later divided, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei all rose up.

South Korea exterminated Zheng, called "Jin Han", Zhao Guohu rode and shot, opened thousands of miles, and placed Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun.

Wei also once dominated the world in the early Warring States period, relying on Wei Wushu to fight invincible opponents all over the world, subduing Qi, Chu, and Qin, and commanding the Three Jins!

It's so strong to take it out individually, how can Qingji tolerate a Jin Kingdom with a contract?

"The king, in the opinion of the ministers, if Zhou Tianzi is allowed to canonize the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan as princes, why can't the king make Xianyu people rank among the princes?"

Fan Li pondered for a moment before speaking to Qingji.

The "Xianyu people" in his mouth are naturally Zhongshan people.

The predecessor of Xianyu people was "Bai Di", also known as Yi's.

Bai Di and the Qin people were in Yongzhou at the beginning, and survived in the Luoshui and Weishui areas.

Around 550 BC, Bai Di moved east to Jizhong due to the oppression of the Qin State and the peace policy of the Jin State.

After moving eastward, Bai Di was mainly composed of four clans: Xianyu clan, Fei clan, Gu clan, and Qiu You clan.

Later, the Fei clan, the Gu clan, and the Qiu You clan were destroyed by the Jin, and the Xianyu clan was the only one left.

Xianyu got its name from Xianyu water, which later came from the Qingshui River that flows southwest of Wutai Mountain into the Hutuo River, which is the earliest birthplace of Xianyu.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Xianyu people once rose, and the most famous was "Xinghou Borong".

At the beginning, the Xianyu tribal alliance was composed of several tribes such as Xianyu, Fei, Gu, and Qiu, and gradually began to expand its power.

At first, the Xianyu people were weak and were resisted by Xing Guo......
