Chapter 52 Arrangements
In a warmer era, the beautiful flowers in the east of the Yangtze River in April were approaching, and it was green. Xiong Jing watched his wife go east, and also watched countless evacuated boats go east. The boats under the control of the Grand Sima Mansion, the boats of the nobles of various clans, and the boats of merchants, if these boats were lined up, the length would be more than three or four hundred miles. In Xiong Jing's memory of the two lives, it was probably only the fleet that snatched the transport of machinery and equipment from Shanghai to the inland during the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and the endless landing ships of the Normandy Allied forces would have such a large scale.
Standing high at Zhufang Wharf, Xiong Jing was extremely melancholy when he saw the last row of boats disappearing from the sky. When Luyang Jun and others wanted to express their consolation, he silently said: "The people of Chu will return!"
Hundreds of thousands of people rode the wind to fight back to Chu State in the future. The Lord of Luyang said: "Da Ao Yingming, I, the people of Chu, will return to the world in the future!"
"The Qin people's native chickens and dogs are vulnerable!" Zhu Zhuci was not satisfied, and no one was there to persuade his wife after she left, expressing her feelings.
Fortunately, Xiong Jing knew that he was a rough man, so he smiled at him, then looked at his close ministers and said, "Let's go."
Watching his wife leave, it took tens of thousands of boats to leave Zhufang for three days before they all sailed out of Zhufang and sailed into the East China Sea. Xiong Jing stayed in Zhufang for three days, standing on the shore every day watching the boats go away. His gaze made countless people kneel down and cry, and some even jumped off the Yangtze River and refused to avoid evading, but what if they don’t avoid evading? Could it be that like the Zhao people, all the battles were killed in battle and women and children were left everywhere?
Even without Penglai and without evading, Xiong Jing was unwilling to do so. After the current soldiers in the army died in battle, no matter how cruel Zhao Zheng was, the State of Chu could still leave some blood. Didn’t Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo stay? Didn’t the eight thousand children of Jiangdong stay? The Qin people insisted that the Chu people were Qin people, and it would take decades and hundreds of years to completely assimilate the Chu people. Before the assimilation, the Chu people were still Chu people.
This is the reality, but why did the State of Chu fall to this situation today? On the way back to Shouying, Xiong Jing was thinking about this question.
The desire for luxury, the pursuit of comfort, the admiration of elegance, the obsession with women... These are all, and are all internal reasons. However, the whole world is undergoing drastic changes, scholars no longer uphold morality, people no longer have faith, ancient people compete for morality, and the Middle Ages to pursue wisdom, and today they are more powerful. In this irresistible radical change, morality is gradually declining. The State of Chu is also part of the world, and naturally it is also entangled in it.
Although the Chu State was slowing down, its speed was slower than that of the Central Plains. The ancestor King Huai was deceived by Zhang Yi and stood in the position of the Central Plains and even later generations, and everyone thought he was stupid. But why did he say he was stupid? Is it because the Central Plains and even later generations regarded fraud as daily? They were deceived in daily life and prevented fraud in daily life. If anyone saw him, their first reaction was naturally that this person was really stupid, and even such fooled.
People cheat each other, and people are guarded against fraud. This is what Han Fei said about "seeking wisdom". King Huai was deceived, which reflects that Chu society has not evolved into a seeking wisdom society like the countries in the Central Plains. This is lucky and unfortunate. Because of unwiseness, Chu did not firmly oppose Qin, and kept swaying between pro-Qin and anti-Qin, and eventually reaped the consequences of itself. This consequence has continued to this day, making Chu no longer able to return to heaven and can only avoid moving to Penglai...
"I'm paying homage to Da Ao..." Shouying General Zhang, when he heard that his son returned to the palace, Concubine Zhao immediately led Ying Nan and other five girls to pay homage to him. The concubine did not need a wedding, so she would accept it as soon as she said she wanted. Who would hold a banquet to celebrate her robbery of a female slave?
"No gift." Xiong Jing, who had returned all the way, felt his mother's step by step pressing, frowned slightly. "There will be a hurricane on the sea from the end of April and May. Please leave for the next few days to Zhufang..."
"Today is over. Dayao got up tonight and put his bed with his daughters. The stepmother set off naturally." In order to send tens of thousands of boats to sail, Xiong Jing stayed in Zhufang for three days. Although he accelerated his rowing when he returned to Ying, he returned to Shouying later than expected.
Concubine Zhao made another request, and Xiong Jing was very embarrassed. Her mother rushed him to bed with the girls like a brothel, and in front of her. "My mother! There is no hurry to get married..."
"Since that's the case, there is no hurry to set off." Concubine Zhao turned her lips and looked very indifferent.
"My mother!" Xiong Jing was forced to no avail by her, so she could only say: "There will be an arrangement for this matter to be decided by the Queen."
"The mother has no arrangements, they are all discussing." Concubine Zhao pushed the matter of arranging the bed to the girls. "By their discussions, today is Yingnan, tomorrow is Gui Kejia, the third day is Ji Yu, the fourth day is Zuo Yue, and the fifth day is Balu."
Concubine Zhao spit out a series of arrangements and said again when her son was stunned: "Tonight, the mother will win the prime minister of the Nangong, so Da Ao will not forget."
"My mother, you..." Xiong Jing was knocked down by thunder. Is the mother going to treat herself as a stallion? Unfortunately, Concubine Zhao took the girls without looking back, and only Chang Jiang who couldn't help laughing was left beside her.
"You are still laughing!" Xiong Jing glared at Chang Jiang. It would be fine if the old guy didn't say it, but he laughed even more happily when he said it.
"Da Ao should know the words of Doctor Qu." Chang Jiang rarely hung up the book bag. "There are two-eight people who stayed at the squad, and the Nine Marquises are more swift. The old servant thought that when they were putting together, they would definitely not be the princess."
"The 28th attendant, the slew of the slew, the slew of the Nine Marquis, the more the more the more the more the lady..." Xiong Jingfu was reciting the Chu Ci written by Qu Yuan. The sixteen-year-old woman who was waiting for the slew would change immediately when she was tired of it. The princesses and noble ladies sent by the nations were not only numerous but also extremely outstanding. This was the king's life of a luxurious and lewd life every night. "No." He shook his head with difficulty.
"What the Empress Dowager did was to ask the king to have more children." Chang Jiang served the previous king and Xiong Jing, two generations of official servants, and what he said was just right. "Now that the Great Chu is in danger, the king should have more children."
"But..." Xiong Jing originally wanted to say that he already had children, but when he thought that Concubine Zhao said that only had one son, he was speechless again. His wife was not pregnant again, so he had to prepare a few more sons. If Sheng'er died young, he would not pass the throne to his younger brother. It doesn't matter whether he passed it to his younger brother or to his son, but what about his wife? What about his mother? What about his ministers?
"Oh!" Xiong Jing sighed, and he temporarily let go of the unavoidable thing about hanging up the bed. There is another important matter in Yingdu that needs to be dealt with, that is, Zuo Wuzhu's fence king. The Chu Yue Alliance has been discussing for almost a month, and if it discusses again, it will be regarded as a deliberate embarrassment by Yue people. He has to join Zuo Wuzhu in Shouying as soon as possible, and then return to the Qifeng Camp.
In addition, it was his own armor. The protection of the new nickel formula and the armor under the new technology was twice as good as before, which was an unexpected result. In the Battle of Sand and Water, the Chu State was killed in battle of four or five thousand people. The most important point was that they did not have armor. If they were fully armed, it would be difficult for the Qin cavalry to hurt them.
The arm crossbow and long bow have no killing effect on the Chu soldiers' armor. No matter how close they are, unless they are used by Cheng Kui's bow; chopping and killing are also ineffective on the Hu Jia. Even if the Qin army uses the Hu Jia sword, they cannot cut off the Hu Jia. The Qin army does not cause many weapons to damage the Chu soldiers wearing Hu Jia, and there are only a few of them:
First, strong crossbows, including Jing crossbows and Jizhang crossbows. Jizhang crossbows must be close enough to break the armor in about fifteen steps;
The second is the iron spear with a hard spear after quenching. However, the chief spear is different from a strong crossbow. Whether the chief spear can break the armor depends on whether the Qin soldiers can exert the power of the spear. Simply put, it is how fast the Qin soldiers can stab the spear at a speed and force. If they are like the Chu army, they will not only be fast, but also jump, and the strength of more than 70 kilograms of force in their body is pressed on the tip of the spear, and thicker knight armor can also break it; if they just stab with both hands and do not jump, they cannot break the armor.
There are also the cavalry spears of the Qin cavalry. If the power of the cavalry spears is constantly split, it will kill more than that of the running storm of the Chu soldiers; finally there are the catapults seized by the Qin army, and there are also the human catapults usually arranged on the top of the city to defend the city.
Due to the weight limit of infantry armor, the protective effect is also limited. Because of the horses and wearing two armors, the Knights can no longer cause damage. The only thing that can kill the Knights is the Jing Crossbow, and in addition, the full-strength rushing spear between the cavalry and infantry.
