"Wu Hong, Wu Heng."

"Erchen is here!"

"The two of you are responsible for joining forces with the people of our Wu Kingdom, integrating a new army of 150,000 people in Jinling, and the required weapons, armor, and food and salaries are all reported to the widows, and the new army must wait in the suburbs of the capital!"

"No!"

Prince Heng and Gongzi Hong immediately received their orders.

Qingji's determination is beyond doubt.

In the next series of wars, Wu will devote its strength to the country.

In the final analysis, since King Zhou Ping moved east and the princes fought for hegemony, although there was a small war in three days and a big war in five days, the scale of the war was not large.

From a few thousand to tens of thousands, and the number of wars exceeding 100,000 people is only a handful.

Why?

Because Zhou Tianzi canonized too many vassal states, the population and land were scattered, and as the war intensified, the bigger the big country and the smaller the small country, until it perished, how could the scale of this war not change?

Qingji is intolerable, and the world has formed a general pattern like the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" in history, which cannot hold each other and continue to be wars for hundreds of years.

Therefore, at this time, Wu's military mobilization ability is very tested.

Although the military service system of Wu belongs to the conscription system, it is different from the military and peasant integration system of other countries.

However, isn't Wu a soldier for all the people?

As long as Qingji issues a conscription order, whether it is an old Wu person or a new Wu person, they must bring their own weapons and armor, and even food and clothing to go to the battlefield.

Every male is required to serve in the military.

In Wu, in fact, once or twice a year during the agricultural slack, each county would organize a drill in which all men over the age of 14 and under the age of 40 had to participate.

They are the reserve soldiers of the Wu State, belonging to the category of the militia, and have a certain combat capability.

After a period of training, they can be put into the battlefield at any time, kill the enemy, serve the country, and make meritorious contributions.

Among the militia, retired soldiers are selected first.

For the first time, Wu had a war of such intensity, so why not mobilize as much as possible?

"Ji Ran."

"The minister is here!"

"You are responsible for the deployment of labor and grain and straw, in terms of labor, you can recruit 100,000 Kunlun slaves in the early stage, and then 200,000 and 300,000 follow-ups, and you must strictly guard the Kunlun slaves."

Qingji said in a deep voice: "If there are not enough overseers, you can make the neighboring counties transfer. Once Kunlun Nu makes a rebellion, within a county, or within a county, all of them will be guilty! ”

"All officials are cut to the first rank, fined and confiscated for one year, and remain in office for use. Those who have failed in their duties will be beheaded, and their families will be exiled to Lingnan! ”

"All the overseers, if the Kunlun slaves riot and the grain and straw are damaged by more than half, they will all be beheaded regardless of the reason!"

"Minister, obey the king's orders."

Ji Ran smiled bitterly and agreed.

Qingji's edict is too harsh.

However, the last time because of the Kunlun Nu riot, the Wu army's grain and baggage were completely damaged, so that the Wu army that was fighting in the Western Regions was in danger.

This is not a Kunlun slave of thousands, tens of thousands of people, but a Kunlun slave of hundreds of thousands of people!

If he is not careful, Wu Guo is very likely to suffer the consequences.

At this time, Gongzi Hongjin, who felt that something was wrong, said: "Father, the son thinks that it is inappropriate to blindly abuse Kunlun slaves. ”

"Hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves are not easy to supervise, and the soldiers will inevitably be negligent."

"Therefore, why doesn't my father allocate half of the Kunlun slaves and half of the common people as labor escorts to transport grain and straw?"

Qing Ji heard this, thought about it for a while, and decided to adopt Gongzihong's advice.

For Kunlun Nu, Qingji naturally can't be trusted.

After all, for so many years, Wu has been brutally enslaving Kunlun slaves and squeezing their surplus value.

Now that Wu wants to devote the strength of the country, it has to transfer some people to serve as laborers to escort grain and straw, what is the difference?

You must know that in this era, under the system of all people being soldiers, the Li Shu at the bottom not only have to serve in the military, but also have to serve in labor.

"Fan Li."

Qingji set his eyes on the body of the imperial historian Fan Li again, and asked, "Du Hu, is there a reply?" ”

"Returning to the king, as expected, Duhu, who was under house arrest by Dunai, was dissatisfied, and was already contacting his old department to prepare to flee, and then raised troops."

Fan Li said slowly: "If nothing else, the day the army arrives in Ba County, Shu will definitely fall into a civil war." ”

"Good."

For this battle to destroy Shu, Qingji is naturally fully prepared.

Not to mention that there are Bu Shang and others who do internal responses, and Wu Jun should cooperate with each other externally, and they have done their homework in Dujiangyan.

With Sun Wu leading 100,000 Wu army warriors, it is not a problem to set foot in Shu Kingdom.

As for whether the Qin people will send troops to destroy Shu together at that time, it is not something that Qingji has to consider.

Anyway, arriving in Yongcheng and being responsible for lobbying Qin Boyingning's literature was enough to make the Qin people look forward and hesitate.

In the end, Qingji took a deep look at Sun Wu and said: "Sun Wu, after destroying Shu, you will be the main general of the Qin army, and the widow will give you the right to cut first and then play, and make decisions on the spot." ”

"The widow will fully support you. The widow is your strongest backing! ”

"Thank you, King!"

Sun Wu solemnly knelt down towards Qingji, kowtowed, and then bowed down and said: "Minister, this farewell, don't destroy Shu Qin, swear not to return to the capital!" ”

"Good!"

The state of Wu did not have a tradition of destroying the army and killing generals.

It's just that if Wu launched a war to destroy Qin, and all the two or three hundred thousand troops were handed over to Sun Wu to command, it would be the most elite soldiers and horses of Wu State.

Qingji can be said to have hollowed out his family funds to support Sun Wu in this battle!

How can you not worry?

In the event of Sun Wu's defeat, or if Wu's army is trapped in Qin and cannot achieve a final victory, Wu will most likely fall into a situation from which he will never recover.

This is like that before the battle of Qin to destroy Chu at the end of the Warring States Period, Qin Wangzheng convened his ministers to discuss the plan to destroy Chu, Wang Jian thought that "600,000 people must be necessary", and Li Xin thought that "only 200,000 people" could defeat Chu.

King Yingzheng of Qin was very happy, and thought that Wang Jian was too old to be used, so he immediately sent Li Xin and Meng Tian to lead 200,000 troops to attack Chu in the south.

However, as a result, the Qin army was defeated......

This is probably the so-called not listening to the old man, suffering in front of you!

On the way of using soldiers, Qingji thinks that he is inferior to Sun Wu.

Under the whole world, he can defeat Sun Wu in terms of marching and fighting, not at all.

The famous generals who can be compared with Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and Tian Sui Tho, have all been taken under the command of Qingji.

Even so, Qingji still can't relax.

After all, a famous general is a famous general, if the army is not powerful, no matter how powerful the commander of the army is, it will be in vain!

Maybe Sun Wu could defeat the Qin army of 50,000 or 60,000 with 10,000 Wu troops, but so what?

Qingji is to destroy Qin, not simply to destroy the living force of the Qin people!

The two are not the same.
