Chapter 938: The Thirty-Three Counties of the Wu Kingdom
"Great King, the minister thinks that this time my Wu Kingdom has obtained a total of thirty-nine cities from the four kingdoms of Qi, Song, Lu, and Wei, and two more counties can be added!"
Hearing Bo Yan's proposition, Qing Ji couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
According to Qingji's original practice, if it is still uncertain, Wu can always occupy that place, and basically will not set up counties and counties for direct governance.
However, at present, the following countries no longer have the strength to compete with Wu State, and it is estimated that they will not dare to send troops to invade the cities and lands belonging to Wu State, so they can only survive for a long time.
That being the case, why should Qingji have so many concerns?
Rao is like this, this time the city land that Wu obtained from the four kingdoms of Qi, Song, Lu, and Wei is still too scattered.
After some careful consideration, Qingji finally made a decision.
"Pengcheng, Xiao, LĂź, Youqiu, and the land of the old Chen are merged into Surabaya County."
"Seven cities, including Chaoge, Wulu, Tong, and Maoqiu, were merged into Qinghe County."
"The fifteen cities ceded by the Qi State, including Chongqiu, Yiyi, Huang, Liao, Tang, and Qing, as well as the seven cities such as Suju, Xianqiu, and Taoqiu ceded by the Lu State, are combined into one and set up "Jibei County"!"
After a pause, Qingji set his eyes on Gongzi Hong's body and said, "Wu Hong, you will be the county guard of Jibei County!"
"Sons take orders!"
That's it?
Gongzihong is still a little weak-hearted.
After all, his two younger brothers, Gongzi Zhang and Gongzi Xi, both have heavy troops and have the title of Metropolitan Governor, which is high and powerful.
As far as Gongzihong has almost "nothing", a real county guard, with only a few county soldiers, can he block the attacks of the countries at a critical moment?
You must know that Jibei County of Wu is a county bordering Qi, Lu, Wei, and Zhongshan.
If you don't have a heavy guard, how can you stand it?
Qingji seemed to know Gongzihong's concerns, so he said slowly: "Wu Hong, the widow has given you a Shangfang sword, which can be cut first and then played, and you have the right to control the military affairs of Jibei County and the three counties of Hebei."
"No!"
Gongzihong happily accepted the order.
According to Qingji's statement, if Gongzizhang and Gongzixi are not convinced, they are unwilling to send troops to help Gongzihong at the critical moment.
Gongzihong can draw his sword and hack them to death, and then seize the power of the army......
Of course, with Gongzihong's character, he would never do such a deviant thing.
Shang Fang's sword has the important meaning of "like a widow coming in person".
At this time, after the addition of Jibei County and Hebei County, Wu State already had a full 33 counties, namely: Wu County, Huiji County, Jiujiang County, Surabaya County, Minzhong County, Lujiang County, Cangwu County, Nanhai County, Xiang County, Guilin 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, Hedong County, Yingchuan County, Shangdang County, Jibei County, Qinghe County, Hengshan County, Taiyuan County.

The widow heard that Han Jun and Wei Jun wanted to be the same king as the Eastern Kingdoms, but because of the widow and the Great Wu, I am afraid that they will not be able to make the trip."
"Let the widows be kings, and they will be kings?"
Qingji just saw the careful thinking of the monarchs of Han and Wei.
It is normal that Korea and Wei are too close to Wu and dare not be arrogant.
Seeing that the princes of Weiguo, Yan, and Song, who were originally on the same starting line, have all been crowned kings, and they are still a viscount canonized by Zhou Tianzi, how can this be justified?
Jealousy makes people unrecognizable.
When the Five Kingdoms were kings, Han and Wei also wanted to get involved and sent troops to attack Wu together, but there were always heavy troops of Wu stationed on the border.
Even when a major war broke out in the Central Plains, the Wu army stationed in Hedong and Yingchuan did not move, which made Han and Wei not dare to act rashly.
Today, the Wu army stationed on the border has withdrawn, which makes Han and Wei breathe a sigh of relief.
However, now Wu wants to attack Han and Wei, or even destroy Han Wei, but it is a matter of a snap of a finger.
It's not that Qingji looks down on Han and Wei, but in fact, the two countries are tied together, and it's not enough for Wu to fight.
King?
Why do Han and Wei dare to be kings?
This kind of thing has been coveted throughout the ages.
Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings.
It's a very clever strategy.
The first two are not difficult to do, and the last one, "slow to become king", is often the most difficult.
Like Zhu Yuanzhang in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people around him persuaded him one by one, and all the heroes around him called him the king one after another, so that he became the emperor.
The leaders of the anti-Yuan rebel army, who were smaller than his own power, dared to claim the king, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not be envious?
How can you not be impressed?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang held back.
And now, in the face of the temptation of becoming the emperor and changing the dynasty, can Qingji hold it?
Vaguely, Qingji's heart was also restless.
That's the position of the co-ruler of the world!
It is true that the difference between the lord of the world and the co-lord of the world is two completely different positions.
However, with Qingji's cultural and martial arts and Wu's strong national strength, he wants to be the emperor, who dares to oppose it?
Who can stop it?
The Zhou royal family has existed in name only, and Qingji even wants to use Zhou Tianzi, but he has already seen that he has no use value.
"What do the second and third sons think?"
At this time, seeing the relieved Qingji, above the court, the minds of the ministers and doctors suddenly became active.
If Qingji is called the emperor, he will be the co-lord of the world, replacing the Zhou royal family, and making Wu from a vassal state to a dynasty like Xia, Shang, and Zhou!
That's a big achievement!
As Qingji's favorite minister, Bo Yi immediately had a flattering look on his face, and said loudly: "The king, the minister thinks that Zhou De is gone, the mandate of heaven is in Wu, and the king's destiny is returned.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Daxing Ling Yanghu echoed: "The great king's martial arts, although Qi Huan and Jin Wen, although they can't be compared, become Tang Zhouwu, slightly inferior to coquettish."
"The great king covers the three emperors, the five emperors are virtuous, and the honorific title "Emperor Wu" is the most suitable!"
