Wu

More than 30 years have passed, and the husband who has been enlightened day and night has long become a real person.

The reform of the state of Wu can be said to be relatively early.

It's a pity that I got up early in the morning and rushed to a late set.

Obviously, from the time of the hundred schools of thought for one or two decades, they began to slowly imitate Yancheng and copy Yancheng, but when they reached the fifty years of the hundred schools, they focused on the Wu-Chu War, and they were still fighting for more than thirty years.

In the past 30 years, there has been little development.

In the past 30 years, under the leadership of Han Feizi, Zhao Wuxian, and Wei Si, Han Zhao and Wei Si have begun to make great strides in reform.

It was not until more than eighty years after the fall of the Jin State that the Wu State continued to reform.

To this day, the reform progress of Wu is not ahead of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei. But it's definitely a lot stronger than it used to be. Even with Wu's national fortunes, the fortunes have increased a lot, making Fucha's use of Jiuding more and more handy.

When the strength is strong, the speech is much tougher.

Moreover, since Fucha became a real person, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu also began to slowly return various powers to him, and now Fucha has a bit of the prestige of Duke Wu.

The former husband was very grateful to Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, and felt that the two were the pillars of the Wu Kingdom, and it was thanks to the two that the Wu Kingdom did not perish. But now, Fucha only feels that these two people are a threat.

Their prestige is too high and their power is too great, they may be fine, but can their sons suppress the two?

Maybe it's the changes brought about by the growth of strength, or maybe it's the changes brought about after taking power, in short, Fucha's thinking is unconsciously different.

Not enough, under the current situation, Fucha can only bury these thoughts in the depths of his heart, because he still has reason, and reason tells Fucha that the current Wu State is in danger, and once Wu Zixu and Sun Wu are lost, then the Wu State will most likely perish.

Today, Fucha once again gathered with Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, and in front of the three of them, there were two letters, one from Yancheng and one from Chu.

"Lone thought that Da Wu was already very strong, but today I realized that he was sitting alone in the well and watching the sky."

100,000 prefecture-level Dao soldiers, which sounds like a lot, but this almost exhausts the foundation of the Wu State.

Now in the entire Wu Kingdom, in addition to the army, there are only about 30,000 doctors and Taoist priests left, and these 30,000 people are mainly engaged in various industries, and it is almost difficult to transfer them to join the army. As for the new generation of Taoist priests and doctors, they have not yet grown up.

This means that within thirty years, the upper limit of Wu State's prefecture-level Dao soldiers will be so much, and one less will die next.

It's not that Sun Wu doesn't know how to train, but he has always been in a state of being feared, and before He Lu died, after Sun Wu trained as a prefecture-level Dao soldier, he didn't continue to train.

In the past thirty years, Sun Wu has only trained prefecture-level Dao soldiers on the basis of warlocks and scholars, but this is very slow, and it will also take time.

There are so many geniuses among warlocks and scholars, and the army is leaving, and there are fewer other industries.

As for encouraging childbearing, it is even more slow.

It only takes ten or twenty years for ordinary people to be born and then to adulthood.

However, from birth to adulthood, a doctor or Taoist priest is considered to be less than a hundred years on average.

As for Yancheng, on the one hand, Yancheng has a large base and a large population, and on the other hand, after the first year of Baijia, it began to slowly popularize education, and it has been a hundred years today.

The group born in the first year of the hundred schools has also grown up today, and naturally there is no shortage of doctors and Taoist priests.

But looking at the Chu State next door, Xiang Ji has 50,000 prefecture-level Taoist soldiers in his hands, all of whom were personally trained by Xiang Ji.

It only took three days for the Duke of Chu to mobilize 100,000 quasi-prefecture-level Dao soldiers from the national capital and its vicinity. At this moment, 100,000 quasi-prefecture-level Dao soldiers have all rushed to the front line, plus Zheng Guo's 60,000 quasi-prefecture-level Dao soldiers, this is an army of 210,000.

Then, under the order of the Duke of Chu, the nobles from all over the country began to piece together doctors and Taoist priests. Some counties are relatively small, providing only one or twenty people, while others are more prosperous, and forty or fifty people are transferred in one go.

Today's Chu State, with more than 5,000 counties, can easily gather enough 200,000 Taoist priests and doctors.

Although these people are not as good as the prefecture-level Dao soldiers who have been trained for a long time, they themselves are extremely high-quality, and with a little training, they can directly go to the battlefield and act as quasi-ground-level Dao soldiers.

Moreover, the target of the 200,000 army this time is the state of Wu!

What's more critical is that the 200,000 Dao soldiers this time are still not the limit of the nobles of the Chu State.

When the decisive battle between Chu and the Central Plains is in the future, the nobles from all over the country will definitely continue to support the Duke of Chu and will continue to send manpower. By then, how many troops will be able to muster together? Who knows!

Wu Zixu slowly spoke: "In the past, the Chu State was the second most powerful country in the world. ”

"But if you only look at population and territory, then Chu is undoubtedly the number one power."

"Now, the Jin Kingdom is gone. Through reform, the state of Chu successfully realized the centralization of power. ”

It's just that the central government of other countries is the princes themselves, and the power of Chu is concentrated in the noble assembly, but it can be regarded as the central government, and it has finally completed the centralization.

From the past feudal state, the feudal monarch and the central government confrontation, to the current moment all the feudal monarchs and nobles are united, and there has indeed been a qualitative change.

"Now, the state of Chu is just using reform to give full play to its strength."

"Yancheng also sent a letter." As he spoke, the husband sighed.

He thought it was so difficult.

The current situation is really difficult.

In the past, with Yancheng supporting Wu State, Chu State rarely directly treated Wu State.

Even in the past 30 years or so, the overall peace has been maintained, and there have been occasional secret fights, and the small lives of Wu and Chu have been quite good.

But now, Yancheng no longer supports Wu Guo, and Yancheng also suggested that Wu Guo join this war.

A Chu country made Fucha feel a lot of pressure, and coupled with Yancheng, Fucha only felt that his head was a little numb at the moment. looked at Sun Wu and Wu Zixu again, but found that the two of them looked as usual, and immediately felt: worthy of being the middle father and Mr., the ability to resist pressure is really strong.

At this time, Fucha suddenly found that Wu Guoneng had two old-timers, which was quite good, at least the old-timers were experienced and well-informed, and they would not panic.

"For Yancheng, the more fierce this battle is, the better, so that Yancheng can sweep the world. Although Yancheng's strength is already very strong, it is good to save a little effort. Sun Wu said directly.

"Then Duke Chu and Duke Han, they can't see it?" The husband asked directly.

"I can see it, but I don't have a choice."

"It is impossible for the State of Chu to give up the opportunity to enter the Central Plains, and it is impossible for South Korea to directly give up its land to the State of Chu. Even if it is really sent, it is only peace today, but what about tomorrow? What benefits should South Korea give to Chu? Sooner or later, Korea will be completely annexed by the state of Chu. ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, instead of giving it to Chu State, it is better to give it to Yancheng, at least you will get more compensation."

"Obviously, South Korea is not willing to back down, so it can only fight."

"In the end, it will be a decisive battle between the Chu State and the Three Jins."

"That's why the State of Chu invited us to go north together, because we were afraid that when the decisive moment came, we would attack the State of Chu from the rear."

"Moreover, if we go north together, the Chu State will be able to mobilize more forces to go north."

"Send troops, we don't have a choice. Once no troops are dispatched, then Yancheng and Chu may have a tacit understanding to carve up Wu first. ”

"Today's Wu State basically has no defense against Yancheng, and no one knows how many shadows Yancheng has in Wu, and once a war starts, it is almost unilateral and transparent."

"Isn't it possible to even have Jiuding to ensure enough security?" Fucha suddenly asked his soul.

"With Jiuding, it is a big country. However, today, the big countries cannot decide their own fate, and only Yancheng can be regarded as safe enough. ”

"Even the State of Chu may want to take the opportunity to create a saint to come out."

"Sage, do you have a chance to become this saint, sir?"

Feeling the hot gaze of the husband, Sun Wu nodded and shook his head: "I am still some distance away from the saint now. ”

The main reason is that the resources have not kept up, in the past, most of the resources of the Wu State were used on this prefecture-level Dao soldier, and the resources for Sun Wu's own experiments and cultivation were not less, but compared with the big dogs in Yancheng, there was still a gap.

Moreover, on the Yancheng side, Zhuge Liang often pulls out a large number of inheritances from the past.

In Yancheng, there are also a large number of real people, and research results are born every moment.

Over there in Yancheng, there are thousands of real people and first generations, and these real people and first generations are found in almost every field.

Sun Wu wanted to do a research in Wu State, and at most a dozen real people and the first generation cooperated, and a lot of the knowledge involved in the research had to be deduced from scratch.

But on the Yancheng side, there are more than 1,000 real people and first generations, all of whom are engaged in research, and each category has certain results. When you need it, you can use it on the spot.

(If you make an analogy, Sun Wu is equivalent to the top scientist, but Wu's industrial chain is incomplete, Wu's manufacturing level is fifty years behind Yancheng, and Wu's workers' quality is fifty years behind Yancheng.) In the same experiment, Sun Wu could complete the top-level design, but when the experiment was implemented, he couldn't keep up at all. Wu Qi can easily mobilize a lot of resources to do this experiment, it may only take three months, but Sun Wu needs three or even ten years. ）

"Therefore, unless the Duke of Chu is willing to let me command the allied forces of Chu, Wu, Zheng and other countries, and then win the battle, only in this way can I have the opportunity to become a soldier saint after the victory in this battle."

"However, the State of Chu has a son-in-law status, and the Duke of Chu happens to be very optimistic about the son-in-law, and has always treated each other with sincerity."

As far as Xiang Ji's character is concerned, the high-level officials of various countries have studied it thousands of eight hundred times. This person is very righteous, if you are good to him, he will be good to you, although it is not the material to be a monarch, but with the way of dealing with the Duke of Chu, even if the Xiang Ji is sanctified, he will still be loyal, instead of thinking about when to kill the Duke of Chu and take the bird position!

"The times are really different, and if you want to become a real person, you need the size of a big vassal state. If you want to give birth to a great real person, you need the size of a great country, and you want to give birth to a saint......"
