The next day, Qingji issued an edict to reorganize the army originally stationed in Yingdi and prepare to transfer it back to Jinling.

Prince Heng, who was originally seated in the land of his hometown, will also return to Jinling after the end of the tour.

This is an inevitable result.

There are two reasons for this.

First, the state of Chu has been destroyed for a long time, and the original rebellions in Nanjun and Nanyang County have been alleviated somewhat, and there is no need for so many garrisons to prepare for the unexpected.

Second, Prince Heng has been in the land of his hometown for a long time, and he has self-respecting troops, which makes Qingji feel threatened to a certain extent.

Not to mention anything else, the Red Flame Army of 3,000 people only obeyed Prince Heng's military orders, and did not follow Qingji's royal orders.

If Prince Heng were to raise an army and rebel in the future, wouldn't it trigger an unprecedented civil strife in the Wu Kingdom?

Prince Heng has both civil and military skills, and his ability is very strong, but it also makes Qingji feel uneasy.

After all, born in the emperor's family, who dares to guarantee that Prince Heng will one day openly raise troops for the throne and kill the king and his father to usurp the throne?

After the end of the trip to Yingdu, Qingji's patrol team went all the way west and came to Hanzhong County to inspect.

Hanzhong County of Wu State, in general, is the land of business.

As the northwest frontier of Wu, Hanzhong County borders Ba and Qin, and its geographical location is very crucial.

It is not only an important geographical location in the military, but also the transportation artery of the Silk Road, which can be called the "throat of Wu Qin".

However, this time, Qingji, after inspecting the Wuguan in Shaoxi Mountain, did not stop, but continued to go to Yongdi and climbed Fangcheng Mountain to overlook the mountains and rivers there.

Qingji's gaze is always facing the west, and his eyes are full of a light called "ambition......

The land under Qingji's feet used to be the land of mediocrity.

Yongguo, once a Fang State of the Shang Dynasty, later followed King Wu of Zhou to conquer the Zhou Dynasty and existed as the "Eight Kingdoms of Pastoral Oath".

Although he was born as a barbarian, he benefited from the fact that Yongguo had contributed a lot in the Battle of Muye, so after King Wu succeeded in defeating and establishing the Zhou Dynasty, Yongguo was named an earl.

Although Yongguo is located in a corner, it is rich in products, and the most typical is "salt".

As early as the Xia and Shang periods, the Yongren developed salt springs to boil salt.

However, Yongguo is close to Chu, and if Chu wants to expand its territory and develop to the Central Plains, it will inevitably eradicate the obstacle of Yongguo.

Therefore, as soon as the Chu people got the opportunity, they immediately launched a war, and the Yong State was defeated and lost a large part of its territory.

By the time of King Chuzhuang, the mediocre people led a group of barbarians to rebel against Chu, and finally suffered a catastrophe......

For the Yongguo that has perished, Qingji naturally doesn't care.

What he really cares about is Bashu in the west of Yongdi!

……

Night falls.

In the lobby of Yongcheng, it is still a brightly lit scene.

The guards who are strong and stubborn stand around the lobby, with five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and they are heavily guarded.

Without Qingji's permission, no idle person, etc., is allowed to take a step closer.

At this time, in the lobby, Qingji sat on the steps.

The people sitting next were only the national captain Sun Wu, the great Sima Wu Zixu, the imperial historian Fan Li, and the four sons of Qingji, Gongzi Hong, Gongzi Xi, Gongzi Fan, and Prince Heng.

By Qingji's side, he also stood with CRRC Fuling Glue Slippery.

After receiving Qingji's instructions, Jiao Slip came to the banquet with a roll of sheepskin maps and spread the huge map on the floor.

The mountains, rivers and rivers of the Chinese countries, and the fortresses of the cities are all marked on them, which are particularly eye-catching.

So much so that those who live in a corner of the country of Zhongshan, Ba, and Shu have ......

"Second and third sons, my Wu Kingdom has now achieved hegemony, the Son of Heaven is to the uncle, and the world is salty. But why did the widow stop there? Why did Wu stop there? ”

Qingji waved his hand and said: "The emperor's hegemony is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." The ambition of the widow, the long-cherished wish of the widow, is to mix up the territory and make the great country borderless! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, born in sorrow, died in peace. So it is with people, and so is with nations! ”

"The purpose of this life, the widow, is to unify the world, to unify the nations, and there is only one voice in the whole world. That's the voice of the widow, the voice of Wu Guo! ”

Qingji's ambition is completely obvious.

Even if Qingji doesn't say it, the ministers of Wu and even the princes of the countries can guess it.

What a long-cherished wish!

"The widow wants to clear the universe and encompass the universe, how can the widow be taught by the widow?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Gongzihong got up first and said: "Father, my son thinks that with the current national strength of my Wu country, there is no opponent in the world. ”

"The population of Wu is more than one-third of that of the northern countries."

"The territory of Wu is more vast than that of the northern countries."

"The army of Wu is stronger than the northern countries."

"The financial strength of Wu is the best in the world!"

After a pause, Gongzihong changed his words again and said: "However, although my Wu country has a large population, a wide territory, a strong army, and a prosperous financial resources, there are still shortcomings. ”

"In 20 years, my father destroyed Yue and swallowed Chu, merged Lingnan, and southwest, captured Huaisi, and occupied Sanchuan.

"Therefore, Erchen believes that what I Wu Guo should do now is to restore the people's livelihood, gather people's hearts, benefit the people, and make the whole country one mind, and then we can go north to the Central Plains and unify the world in one fell swoop!"

Qingji squinted his eyes and asked, "Wu Hong, if you follow what you said, how long will it take?" ”

"At least...... Twenty years, or even thirty years. ”

As he spoke, Gongzihong couldn't help but bow his head a little weakly.

Actually, Gongzihong is still conservatively estimating.

Born in a world of great controversy, killing continues, every time Wu destroys a country and occupies a place, in fact, killing incidents are inevitable.

It's inevitable.

However, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Every time Wu destroyed a country and occupied a place, it would implement a policy of assimilation to benefit the people.

However, this is not enough.

The most typical is Wu Chu's feud and Wu Yue's feud.

The hatred and estrangement between the two countries will be difficult to overcome for a while.

It will take generations, hundreds of years to eliminate.

Hatred for each other can only be resolved with the passage of time.

But, Qingji can't wait.

How many twenty years can there be in life, how many thirty years can there be?

Whether Qingji will survive to that time is still unknown.

Besides, in just twenty or thirty years, Qingji didn't think that Li Shu of Wu State would be able to work together and not distinguish between each other.

Not to mention, not long ago, the remnants of the late Chu had a bloody battle with Rong Di in Sanchuan County, and there were countless casualties.

Qingji has to admit that Gongzihong's proposition is relatively safe, but it is too conservative.
