Since Wu Zixu was appointed as the general to pacify Zhongshan, the Wu army changed its previous tactics and organized a full-scale attack against Zhongshan Rong.

Because the Zhongshan people were unruly, even the old and weak women and children dared to attack the Wu soldiers, so Wu Zixu decisively ordered that one person make a rebellion and the whole family will be killed.

One family rebelled, and the whole village was slaughtered.

As a result, the people of Zhongshan were afraid of the strength of the Wu army, and the practice of often attacking the soldiers of the Wu army was improved.

Immediately afterwards, in order to attract Zhongshan Rong in the Taihang Mountains to fight, Wu Zixu deliberately sent Li Shu of Zhongshan Kingdom, especially the old and weak women and children, to Longxi County and Shu County in batches.

Just as Qingji and Wu Zixu guessed, Zhongshan people couldn't sit still.

After all, those old and weak women and children are all the fathers and villagers of Zhongshan Kingdom, maybe they are their parents, wives and children, how can they give it up?

The Zhongshan people then had to go to war, intending to save their fathers and villagers.

However, Wu Zixu, who had long expected this, deployed a lot of iron cavalry, and once Zhongshan Rong came out to attack, he would directly surround it and kill them all......

After this back and forth, the Zhongshan people did not dare to fight, so they could only watch Wu Jun send his relatives away, and he may say goodbye to the end of the world forever.

Under the grief and indignation, many Zhongshan people chose to fight with Wu Jun, but there were also some sane Zhongshan people who became deserters and left with their parents, wives and children.

In order to pacify Zhongshan as soon as possible and eliminate all rebel forces in the territory, Wu Zixu sent people to poison the river and set fire to the mountain.

Such a vicious method really worked.

A large number of Zhongshan people had to flee from the deep mountains and forests, and were eventually shot and killed by the Wu army, or passively laid down their arms and surrendered.

The time entered the thirty-second year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in 482 BC, at the beginning of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

As the King of Zhongshan led his subjects and troops out of Taihang Mountain and surrendered to the Wu army, the Zhongshan Kingdom, which had existed for more than 20 years, was officially declared extinct.

Zhongshan people are so knowledgeable, so that Qingji and Wu Zixu can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, they don't want to overdo it either.

After the fall of the Zhongshan Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom truly dominated the world.

……

The capital of Wu, Xianyang.

At this time, in the Chongzheng Palace, Qingji held a large court meeting, and all ministers and doctors with an official rank of more than 600 stone must participate on the spot.

Qingji rewarded Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Tian Sui Tho, Gongzi Zhang, Gongzi Xi, Xu Menchao and other meritorious ministers according to their merits.

Food, good land, houses, gold, jade silk, officials, etc., all those who can reward them will be rewarded one by one, and they must be as good as they want.

The rest of the soldiers will then be rewarded one by one according to their merits.

This is a huge expenditure for the finances of the state of Wu.

However, in Qingji's opinion, it is completely worth it.

"The land of the old mountains is located in Hejian County."

"Therefore, Yandi, Shanggu County and Yuyang County."

Qingji made such an arrangement.

The territory of Yan is quite large, but it has not yet reached the Liaodong area, and Wu has two or three counties to govern, which is more than enough.

If there is a suitable opportunity, Qingji will not launch a northern expedition to defeat the land of Liaodong.

With the addition of Hejian County, Shanggu County and Yuyang County in Qingji, the state of Wu at this time already had a full forty-five counties.

The current territory of Wu State extends from Liaoxi (Yuyang County) in the east, to the Amu Darya River in the west, to Lingnan (including Vietnam and part of Burma) in the south, and to Yinshan and Hetao in the north.

It is similar to the Qin Dynasty in history, and it is similar to the Han Dynasty.

If you have to say that the territory of Wu is worse than that of the Han Dynasty, it should be the two places of Liaodong and Korea......

"Kong Qiu, how is the compilation of "Wu Song"?"

Qingji set his eyes on Zuo Prime Minister Kong Qiu.

As a master of etiquette and music, Kong Qiu had long been entrusted with the important task of compiling "Wu Song" by Qingji.

As the so-called etiquette cannot be abolished, the status of etiquette and music for a country is second only to "Rong" and "ritual", so Qingji has the ingenuity to compile a ritual music belonging to the Wu country, which will be passed on to future generations, and let the world remember its greatness, the greatness of the Wu country.

"Back to the king, "Wu Song" has basically been compiled, and some pieces of music are still in the stage of debugging and rehearsal, but they can be played at any time."

"Good."

Qingji bowed slightly.

At this time, Dazai Fumiko came out of the line with a tooth wat in his hand, knelt on the floor, and said loudly: "King, and today is set, the four seas are one, and the hearts of the people are satisfied!" ”

"The ministers are not talented, dare to be the first in the world, please take the throne of the Son of Heaven, change the dynasty, think that the orthodoxy of China is the orthodoxy of the world!"

"Dare to fight, please come to the world!"

With the leadership of the literary genre, the ministers of Wu Guo, who had secretly rehearsed it a long time ago, immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Please come to the world!" ”

When it came, Cheng Bo, who was good at "stealing and playing tricks", kowtowed and said: "If the king does not come to the world, the minister will not be able to kneel here!" ”

"King! You are the Holy King of the Ages who is destined to return to Heaven and to whom all the people look up! ”

"It's the king, it's you who established the great cause of unification, the great cause of the ancients!"

"The land of the king, wading through quicksand in the west, and reaching the north in the south. There is the East China Sea in the east, and Bactria in the north. Everywhere you go, there are no subordinate! ”

"It is the ancient Chengtang Zhouwen, Tang Yao Shunyu, the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, and their merits are far inferior to the king!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers deeply agreed, and they all slammed their heads on the floor, like Bo Yan, planning to kneel for a long time.

In fact, Qingji has the intention of dominating the world.

At this time, he was already the actual ruler of the world.

However, there is still a name missing.

This title is crucial.

To this day, does Qingji still use modesty?

Need not!

The great achievements he has established do not have to be the same as those emperors of later generations, and he has to be false and unscrupulous, and cover it up, so that he dares to be in the position of the lord of the world.

"Second and third sons, please get up."

Qingji raised his hand and said slowly: "The mandate of heaven is in Wu, the people's hearts are in Wu, if the widow does not obey the will of heaven, obey the will of the people, and reign in the world, it is impossible to say." ”

"However, the widow is the Son of Heaven, how should its ceremony be arranged? What are the statutes? ”

It's a conundrum.

According to the past practice, it seems that Qingji only needs to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and send people to pray to the ghosts and gods of mountains, rivers and rivers.

However, as his own "imperial ceremony", Qingji didn't want to be too sloppy.

According to the regulations of the past, it was too sloppy and did not show the dignity of Qingji as the Son of Heaven.

If you have to rewrite some of the charters, where do you start?

Kong Qiu pondered for a while, and then said: "The king, the minister thinks that the ceremony of the Son of Heaven should be more solemn and justified. ”

"The destiny of heaven lies in virtue, and now Zhou De has fallen into decline and no longer exists, and Wu De is prosperous. Therefore, the Zhou room should be asked to transfer the artifact to the Wu room, so that Zhou Tianzi can let it. ”

"Zen Jean?"

Qingji was stunned.
