Qingji's requirements for Shangjun and Longxi County are only to be self-sufficient, and by the way, to cultivate a large number of excellent war horses for the Wu State, nothing more.

The current country of Wu is rich in land and resources, and there is no shortage of land rich in fish and salt, copper and iron, silk and other heavy capital in the world.

If Wu Guo is enclosed for a racecourse, the two counties in the northwest are undoubtedly very ideal locations.

"Literature."

"The minister is here!"

"How many monarchs and nobles of the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong and their family scrolls are there?"

"Back to the king, the minister has already coordinated it. The monarchs and nobles of the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong and their family scrolls are no less than 3,500 people! ”

"Move all of them to Jinling and Yingdu to settle down and settle down properly. You are solely responsible for this. ”

"No!"

Wen Chong immediately agreed.

Jinling and Yingdu both belong to the capital of Wu State, a place of ointment.

The reason for moving these nobles of the Xijon countries to settle down there is just to let Rong Di'an on the grassland guard himself a little, and there is no need to cause more trouble.

By this time, there was no need for Wu to move a large number of people to Shangjun and Longxi County to reclaim the border.

Why?

No need!

Relying on the influence of the capital Xianyang, Qingji can ensure that the various tribes of Xirong will not dare to oppose and will not oppose when the dragons are leaderless.

Even if they really rebelled, Qingji could send troops to suppress it as quickly as possible.

After the addition of Shang County and Longxi County, Wu Guo now has a full 26 counties, namely: Wu County, Huiji County, Jiujiang County, Surabaya County, Minzhong County, Lujiang County, Cangwu County, Nanhai County, Xiang County, Guilin County, Nan County, Nanyang County, Yuzhang County, Qianzhong County, Dian County, Jiaozhi County, Hanzhong County, Hengshan County, Wuling County, Sanchuan County, Huaishui County, Ba County, Shu County, Chang'an County, Shang County, Longxi County.

The current territory of Wu is vast and the population is unimaginable.

Population only, according to the latest census data.

The population of Wu has exceeded 16 million, showing a spurt of growth.

This does not include the millions of Kunlun slaves, as well as the population of Shangjun and Longxi County......

"Tian Sui Tho."

"The minister is here!"

"You are responsible for going to Shangjun and Longxi County, surveying the environment, running horse races, and being sure to find a suitable place to raise horses."

"No!"

"Kongqiu, Zeng Dian."

"The minister is here!"

"The two of you are responsible for surveying the terrain in Shangjun and Longxi County and building the city. At least within a radius of 100 miles, there must be a city, not to mention the scale, the city must be built. ”

Qingji said slowly: "In addition, Li Shu of Shangjun and Longxi County will be exempted from taxation and forced labor for three years!" ”

"No!"

Indeed, the construction of the city cannot be sloppy.

Shangjun and Longxi County were originally the territory of the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong, where the land was vast and sparsely populated, and the horses were flat.

Like Yiqu, Yiqu and the Zhou people got along very well in the past.

The ghost side (猃狁) was opposed to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, so after each war, the ghost side failed and fled, running away to the Hetao, and Yiqu took the opportunity to move inward.

In this way, Yiqu gradually occupied the Longdong Dayuan area.

The fertile land and abundant water and grass have made the animal husbandry of the Yiqu people develop unprecedentedly, and the population of Yiqu has also increased significantly, and they have settled down from a nomadic state.

In the midst of living with the local Zhou people, they learned farming techniques, learned Zhou culture, and built cities and villages like the Zhou people, thus developing into the Yiqu tribe that was different from other Qiangrong.

However, there are very few such cities after all.

In the Central Plains country, within a radius of fifty miles, there is basically a city.

The western part of the Kingdom of Wu is different.

The existence of cities can not only promote the ethnic integration of the Wu people and the Yiqu people to the greatest extent, but also reduce unnecessary troubles.

For example, how could the original Yiqu people rebel and betray the state of Wu if they could settle down in the city and live a small life?

What Qingji has to do is to rely on the strong national strength of Wu as much as possible, show grace to Rong Di, and let them and Wu Guo belong to the same family, regardless of each other.

In other words, the Shang County and Longxi County of Wu State are roughly a small part of modern Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai.

……

The time entered the twenty-seventh year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in 487 B.C., the first month.

When Wu sent troops to annex the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong, Zheng Guo, which was far away in the Central Plains, broke out into unprecedented civil strife.

Zheng Guo's Yangziju change greatly touched the interests of the old family, so Zheng Guoqing, led by "Qimu", sent assassins to assassinate Yangziju.

The assassination was unsuccessful, but it angered Zheng Bojisheng.

Ji Sheng took this opportunity to deprive a group of old clans of their fiefs and titles, intending to demote them to commoners.

At this time, the unbearable old clan finally broke out, and they organized private troops to attack Xinzheng under the banner of the Qing monarch's side.

With the help of Yokoju, Ji Sheng was calm and commanded a large army to extinguish the rebellion.

However, the feudal lords and guards in various places divided one side one after another, and asked Ji Sheng to execute Yangziju and restore the ancestral system.

Ji Sheng was furious and sent troops to attack the rebellious feudal monarchs.

Originally, this was just a civil war in Zheng Guo, and the new army trained by the achievements of the Yangziju Reform Law was enough to suppress the rebellion.

It's just that Zheng Guo is in the land of four wars, and when he learned that Zheng Guo fell into a civil war, and Qi Mu and other old clans asked for help from him, South Korea did not hesitate to join the war.

With the entry of South Korea into the war, Zhao and Wei, which were in the same breath as South Korea, participated in the war one after another, forming a coalition army of 250,000 people from the Three Jin Dynasty.

The Zhou royal family and Zheng Guo felt cold, not only sent troops to help, but also sent Changhong as an envoy to Xianyang non-stop to ask for help from Wu.

"Second and third sons, do you think that my Wu State should send troops to rescue Zheng?"

At this time, in the Chongzheng Palace, Qingji looked around for a week and asked a group of ministers.

As the Great Sima, Wu Zixu stood up first, bowed to Qingji and said, "King, the minister thinks that it is imperative to save Zheng!" ”

"Not to mention that Zheng Guo is an ally of my Wu State, this time the Three Jin Dynasty coalition army of 250,000 horses and horses is huge, obviously rushing to destroy Zheng and carve up Zheng Land."

"If Zheng Guo is destroyed, Han, Zhao, Wei and Sanjin will inevitably increase their national strength, and they will threaten the land of Zhou Wangji and threaten my Wu State."

"Therefore, please lead the army to save Zheng!"

Hearing this, Qingji just narrowed his eyes and didn't speak.

"The king, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!"

Dazai retorted: "There is a big war at every turn, and the people and money are lost. Moreover, after Zheng Guo changed the law by Yangziju, his national strength increased greatly, and the Three Jin Coalition forces wanted to destroy Zheng, I am afraid it would not be easy. ”

"In the opinion of the ministers, the most that the Three Jin Coalition forces are to coerce Zheng Bo to give up the change, execute Yangziju, and cede a few cities by the way. Kill Zheng ...... It's not necessary. ”

"Huh."

Wu Zixu sneered and said, "Dazai's words are wrong. ”

"How can an army of 250,000 people be a small fight? There is Yangziju to change the law, and Zheng Guoyi is strong. However, now Zheng Bozhong has betrayed his relatives and is unpopular among the old family. ”

"Under internal and external pressure, the fall of Zheng Guo is also reasonable!"
