Chapter 7 Awakening
In the Mingtang of the Huai County County Magistrate's Office, Zhao Zheng, who was furious, finally chose to endure temporarily. The Qin Dynasty could not be defeated, and once the defeat was defeated, the situation that had been reversed might be reinforcing by King Jing. No matter how timid Wang Jian fought, he destroyed Zhao, defeated Qi, and fought Jing. In addition to that snow-night escape, he could still stabilize his position even if he had a defeat. It would be better to hand over the Qin army to such a strong general's ranking than to Meng Tian, Zhao Ying, and Bai Lin.
The reason why he quickly destroyed Jing was because he was afraid that the people of Jing would escape, especially the son of King Jing. What was the reason why King Jing broke up with a marriage at the risk of offending the countries in the world? Perhaps it was for Mi Xuan, but more importantly, it was for the offspring. Mi Xuan was the queen of Jing, and his son was the eldest son of Jing. If the eldest son of Jing escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Warships, warships will definitely seal off the coast of Jing State. Zhao Zheng no longer cared about the confrontation between the two armies centered on Daliang, thinking about the long sea area south of Qi State. Can Zhao Ying's boat army really lock such a long sea area as Wei Liao said?

"I have seen Da Ao." The Chu army shogunate, like other generals who visited Xiong Jing, Shen Yinshang was not used to performing Chu rituals. Xiong Jing did not care about this, and looked more at Yu Yin Sun Yu and Lan Yin Qu Gan who came with him to visit him.
After the Battle of Daze last year, Xiong Jing directly ordered Shen Yinshang, who had just returned from Hongyang, to Penglai with Yu Yinsun Yu and Bluetooth Qu Gan. Agriculture is the foundation of a country. Moving to Penglai is not a matter of random fingers on the map, but to explore on the spot, repeatedly consider the overall plan. What is the island? Sun Yu, Qu Gan and others can only determine after viewing it on the spot.
"I have met the king." Sun Yu and Qu Gan didn't know whether they had forgotten it or insisted on their previous name and called King Xiong Jing.
"No gift." Xiong Jing didn't seem to feel the difference in their names. As soon as he finished speaking, he asked anxiously: "How about Mishima?"
I went there in October last year and returned in January this year. In less than four months, the world was already in a state of great change. Sun Yu and Qu Gan looked at each other, and Sun Yu bowed and said, "Big King, there are rugged lands with three islands, few land fields, many mountains, deep forests, and many wild animals. The soil is mostly red, similar to the soil of Yue, which is not suitable for crops. If there is someone else, please move to another land."
Xiong Jing knew exactly what the terrain is on the island, but he was a little stunned when he heard that the land on the island was red and not suitable for crops. The red soil in the south is acidic soil, and it is good to grow tea and fruits, and it is really not very good to grow grain. The best soil is black soil, but...
"Map." He shouted.
North Korea cannot go to, and North Korea is closely connected to the mainland. It seems that the Han Dynasty or some other dynasty built Lelang County. North Korea cannot do it, and the Northeast must not do it. However, Vladivostok is also black soil, which is easy to raise horses. Do you want to go to Vladivostok?
Before the map was brought, Xiong Jing had this idea flashed in his mind, but once the map was brought in, he shook his head repeatedly when he saw the location of Vladivostok. The Chu State went to Penglai for only a few hundred kilometers, and the distance to Vladivostok was two to three times that of Penglai. A longer distance means a longer round trip time, which means fewer migrants will become.
"Only the three islands of Penglai!" Xiong Jing said with certainty, and Sun Yu's eyes were suddenly disappointed.
"I think..." Lan Yin Qu Gan said, he was comforting. "There are many birds and beasts on the island, flocks of wild deer, water siege, and mudflats can also be fished. The natives can make a living, and I, Chu people, can make a living, and it is not necessary to have crops."
"Good." Xiong Jing nodded repeatedly. Lan Yin managed the mountain lakes of Chu. No one knew better what could be produced in the mountain lakes than Lan Yin.
"It is indeed not necessary to have crops, but fishing and hunting can only be done for a while, not for a long time." Sun Yu sighed. "The king regards the people as the heaven, and the people as the heaven. Crops are not suitable for the island. In the future, our Chu State will have few people and the country will eventually be weak."
Sun Yu thought for a long time before he could say this. Xiong Jing was relieved and asked, "A million households moved to the island, do you have any food?"
"If we can move it slowly, there will be." In three months, Sun Yu had already seen the three islands in total. Yingzhou is definitely not livable, and the migration is definitely to Penglai and Fangzhou. The area of the two islands is not smaller than that of the eastern part of Chu, but only larger than that of the eastern part of Chu.
"Xu Qianzhi?" Xiong Jing didn't know that Sun Yu's Xu Qianzhi was so Xu. It would be fine in one or two years, but if it were three or five years, it would definitely not work.
"It can be as short as three years, and it can be as long as five years." Sun Yu roughly knew the current situation and looked straight at Xiong Jing when he spoke.
"At most three years." Xiong Jing shook his head immediately, and after shaking his head, he corrected: "At most two years."
"Two years?!" Sun Yu stretched out two fingers, unable to believe it.
"At most, two years, maybe one year." Xiong Jing felt that there was no need to ask this question.
In the first year, there were only 350,000 tons of boats, and one and a half tons were only 600,000 people; in September and October, the boat building site could build 50,000 tons of boats, plus these 500,000 tons, the total tonnage of boats was only more than 400,000 tons, and only 800,000 people could be moved out; in the second year, there were 500,000 tons of boats, and the maximum number of boats was two consecutive migrations was only 2 million.
This is the migration number of Li Qie to convince the court officials. In fact, it is impossible for one person to have half a ton. There is no verification whether it is feasible for one person to carry rations for a year. Therefore, the actual migration number will definitely be far lower than this number.
The Qin army would definitely stop the large number of people moving out of Chu. Maybe it would fight with it in April. If it is defeated and Chu is destroyed, then it will only migrate once, with a total of only five or six hundred thousand people. These people don’t have to worry about the food rations on the island at all.
"It may only be half a year." Sun Yu and others were about to say that they could not migrate so many people in a year, so Xiong Jing has changed one year to half a year.
At this moment, he suddenly woke up. He had been thinking about whether he was advancing or retreating, but after thinking about it, he couldn't make up his mind. Now he understood that the Chu army's future goal was to try to hold back the Qin army. The longer it dragged, the more people it migrated, and the greater the hope of restoring the country in the future.
Next is the Zhou Shi. Bu Liangju’s large-wing gunboats should not be arranged here, but at the estuary of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, where the ports there need to be defended rather than here. Even for the sake of artillery - building a mansion, Ju Tie Mansion had to carry out production while preparing for migration. The production of artillery was lower than normal. If the Chaos-class gunboats that were launched urgently did not have artillery, even the fifteen-pound cannons would have to be stuffed into the Chaos-class. The large-wing gunboats would likely be dismantled.
Sun Yu is still strongly admonishing that one million households can be moved to the island for half a year or even a year. Xiong Jing, who is distracted, cannot hear him. What he thought was that it would be not enough to build five Chaos-class gunboats a year. Jutiedu Mansion produced 240 32-jin naval guns a year. It is not enough to increase the number of Chaos-class gunboats immediately. If the artillery is not enough, the large-wing gunboats will be removed and the existing artillery of the Lingshi...
"King!" After talking for a long time, the king seemed to have not heard it, and Sun Yu shouted.
"I..." Xiong Jing came to his senses at this time. "The Qin people will stop me from moving."
"Qin people?" Sun Yu and Qu Gan were stunned, and Shen Yinshang nodded deeply. Since the Qin army's boat troops had an absolute advantage, the Chu State moved out of Dingkou to Penglai, and the Qin people would definitely send the boat troops to stop them.
"Reporting to Da Ao, I think we should build more Chaos-class warships." Shen Yinshang knew that the power of Chaos-class gunboats was incomparable to that of the big-wing gunboats. "If you are in a hurry, you can rebuild the Taotie-class cargo boat."
"Renovation of the cargo boat?" Xiong Jing didn't expect this. "But the cargo boat is not as strong as the Chaos level. Even the Chaos level will be hit by the warship and cut off the ribs and enter the water."
"When I was in the Red Sea, I fought with Seleucid warships. I thought that gunboats might be armed." Shen Yinshang suggested. "If gunboats can be armed with huge armor on both sides, they should not be afraid of the impact of warships."
"Putting armor?!" Xiong Jing shouted. Yes! If the Chaos-class gunboat could be installed on both sides like the later iron armored ships, how could the bronze bow of the Qin warship hit the boat break the ribs? The position of the bronze hitting angle is very fixed, just near the waterline. The giant armor does not need to be too wide, and it is enough to calculate the position of three feet; it does not need to be too thick, two or three inches, and it is not enough to be broken by the hitting angle.
The more Xiong Jing thought about it, the more useful he felt, and couldn't help but shout: "Good! Great Good!"
"I thank Da Ao." Xiong Jing was happy, and Shen Yinshang was also happy. He thought that it would be a lifelong regret for not leaving Luyang when he was sick, but it would be a blessing in life to lead a fleet to fight with Qin people and Zhoushi in the East China Sea.
"King, the migration matter..." Sun Yu didn't understand why the topic was disconnected as he said it.
"The migration is a lot of things, not just crops," Xiong Jing explained. "This year, there may be more than one million people. Next year, it will be April, and October, and there will be no more than two million people. Everyone brings food for one year, is this possible?"
"If they moved here in the first year, it would be fine." Sun Yu laid a map he drew on the map of Xiongjing. He pointed to the north of Penglai Island. "I have seen all three islands. The natives have the most numerous here, and there are many acres of land and acres of houses here. If the natives can be driven away and the people who moved in April can be relocated, they will plant the valley of Dongzhou after they landed on the shore, and they can have food for a year."
"Can the natives have a king?" Xiong Jing was not optimistic about Kitakyushu in later generations, and this location was too close to North Korea.
"Yes." Shen Yinshang said. "All natives have kings, and there are also Qi people who speak the language of the earth on the island."
"Qi people?" Xiong Jing couldn't believe it. "Why are there Qi people on the island?"
"There are also people from Yan." Qu Gan smiled. "There are also many people from Korea. Many of them are the heads of natives, and they are all common people, and they are afraid of crimes."
"Since that's the case, we can discuss with him. Chu State borrowed land for two years and returned it again in two years." Xiong Jing said. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he said again: "This place is too close to North Korea. If the Qin people's boat troops come, I will be the first to be affected."
