Go to ancient times and engage in construction

After the death of Xihou, Zheng Yuming not only wrote a letter to Emperor Qin, but also sent an obituary to the rulers of the surrounding vassal states on behalf of the Wu royal family.In the funeral etiquette of the Great Qin Dynasty, the princes had a small burial on the fifth day, and the emperor had a small burial on the seventh day.

At the time of Xihou's burial, Prince Sheng stroked the corpse, beat his chest and stamped his feet, cried bitterly, and fainted several times. Zheng Yuming was worried that Prince Sheng's grief would hurt his body too much, so he had to ask Jiang Gui to prepare some medicine to help sleep, and tricked Prince Sheng into taking it to ensure his health. get rest.

Eight days after Xihou passed away, a carrier pigeon flew into the prime minister's office in Kangcheng, the capital of King Wu, at dark.

"Haha! Prince Zhao sent an envoy to express his condolences." In Chu Chaohui's hand was the message from Wei Qing sent by carrier pigeon from the throat city.

Zhao Guo's spies sent a letter to Zhao Xuan, and they had to turn a small road to bypass the throat.Sending envoys to the state of Wu to express their condolences will not sneak through the small roads, but take the main road, and pass through the throat controlled by Wei Qing in an open and honest manner.After Wei Qing released the envoy to enter the country, he quickly sent a letter to Chu Zhaohui to know about it.

It will take 21 days for Xihou to be buried after the small mortuary. During this period, Prince Sheng succeeded to the throne and became the new lord of Wu.The princes and congresses who received the news of the obituary sent envoys to the capital to express condolences to the deceased Xihou and congratulate Prince Wu on his succession to the throne.The vassal states that have goodwill to Wu state express their goodwill to Wu state through this ceremony, which is also a way of political expression to recognize the new king of Wu state.Now Zhao Xuan sent envoys to Wu State to offer condolences, sending out a message of peace. Zhao Xuan told the court of King Wu in this way that Zhao State had no intention of becoming an enemy of Wu State. As for how to reach peace, the envoys who came to express condolences would negotiate with Zheng Yuming .

Chu Chaohui put the secret letter note in front of Zheng Yuming, turned around and fell down on the soft bed next to him. During this period of time, he could perform the illusion of launching an all-out war against Zhao, and it finally paid off.The secret letter sent by Wei Qing made Chu Chaohui's heart drop to the ground.

"You don't need to continue the conscription, do you?" Zheng Yuming finished reading and scribbled on the white paper with a charcoal pen.

Originally, Chu Chaohui's plan to recruit recruits was to be divided into several batches. The original plan was to recruit up to 6000 recruits next year.But now, in order to give Zhao Xuan the illusion, Chu Chaohui could only recruit troops with great fanfare.Because the treatment and benefits of being a soldier attracted many civilians, the two recruiting offices in the capital were full every day. Even though the conditions for recruiting soldiers were repeatedly harsh, the recruiting office still recruited more than [-] people.

"For two more days, we have to wait for Zhao Guo's servant to arrive at the king's capital before stopping." The carrier pigeon can send the information back from the throat in just one day and one night, but the envoy sent by Zhao Xuan has to walk on the road for five or six days, which is still riding a horse Under such circumstances, Chu Chaohui's deceptive behavior had to continue before Zhao's envoy arrived at the capital.

"Huang Zhong said that there are no more bricks and stones in Kangcheng to transport." Zheng Yuming finished scribbling on the paper, folded it into a paper airplane and shot it on the soft bed, on which Chu Chaohui was leaning crookedly.

Chu Zhaohui quickly pinched the paper airplane with his fingers. "It doesn't matter, without masonry, digging some soil and pouring it into a sack will have the same effect."

"It's too wasteful!" Zheng Yuming shook his head, feeling sorry for the shipping fee.

"It's better to save money than a real fight with Zhao Guo." Chu Chaohui comforted Zheng Yuming while opening the paper airplane, and after reading the content on the paper, the smile on his face grew wider: "It's still Yuming's brains."

The number of recruits of more than 6000 recruits is too large, and Chu Chaohui does not have enough generals to help him train.Wu's original Huben army had no systematic military training at all, and the army had no awareness of coordinated operations.At that time, as long as the armies of the vassal states could be organized neatly and quickly, they could be regarded as an elite army.

In Chu Chaohui's eyes, only the soldiers trained by the valley and Nanbu were well-trained.Sending troops from Ulsan, a total of 500 elite soldiers personally trained by Chu Chaohui embarked on the crusade.After several battles, counting those who returned to the team with minor injuries, only 3000 of the 1000 people remained.Of the remaining [-] people, [-] were taken to the northwest border by Wei Qing and Zeng You, and [-] followed Zhou Cheng to station at the Tang border. Only [-] or [-] remained in the capital, and [-] of them were led by Ma Ren to protect Zheng Yuming. Chu Chaohui only had [-] elite soldiers at his disposal.

The state of Wu will abolish private soldiers in the future, and the private soldiers in the hands of the feudal lords will be gradually dismissed. In addition, Huben, who has served for five years, will enjoy preferential treatment and be discharged from the army. The total number of soldiers in the state of Wu today is only [-].

Six thousand were stationed in Ulsan and Su Plain, six thousand were stationed in Qucheng and Yanhoukou, five thousand were taken by Zhou Cheng on the border of Tang Dynasty, and six thousand were scattered in some big cities. In this way, only [-] were left in Kangcheng Seven soldiers.

The total number of soldiers trained by Wei Ren and Chu Chaohui is 3000. Half of the 1 are old tigers and half are newly recruited civilians. None of them have received systematic military training. .Chu Chaohui's original plan was to use the [-] elite soldiers in his hands as the army framework, and train all the more than [-] soldiers in the capital to become disciplined and capable of coordinating combat operations.Because he wanted to confuse Zhao Xuan now, he recruited another [-] at once. Chu Chaohui didn't have enough elite soldiers to serve as non-commissioned officers to lead the recruits. The training program he planned had already limited the number of non-commissioned officers, and he didn't have the ability to absorb new blood.

What Zheng Yuming scribbled on the paper just now was the arrangement for the newly recruited [-] soldiers. In Zheng Yuming's new plan, these soldiers will not join the army first, but only serve as reserve troops.The reserve army does not have military pay, but they will be arranged to do projects. The work is paid by the number of days, and the daily food and clothing are guaranteed by the army. After half a year, the reserve soldiers can gradually become full-time soldiers.

The arrangement of [-] new recruits solved Chu Chaohui's lack of training for non-commissioned officers. After half a year, the original soldiers were almost trained, and recruits could be recruited in an orderly manner.

In fact, Zheng Yuming wished for [-] new recruits to temporarily become engineers. Many municipal constructions in the capital need manpower, and the salt wells and salt fields on the coast of the East China Sea also need a lot of labor.Therefore, when Zheng Yuming heard the news that Zhao Xuan sent an envoy to express his condolences, and that there would be no war between Zhao and Wu in the future, he immediately set his mind on these six thousand recruits.

"Take Ma Ren and the guards out." Zheng Yuming wanted to give Ma Ren a future.Ma Ren was also very good at first, but because he was very loyal and prudent, he was selected by Chu Chaohui and sent to Zheng Yuming's side as a guard.

Ma Ren, Zhou Cheng, and Zeng You are equally good and started off the same way. Now Zhou Cheng and Zeng You have each led a heavy army to station on one side, but because Ma Ren is following Zheng Yuming's side, he cannot go to the battlefield to lead the army and make contributions. .Zhou Cheng and Zeng You were already sergeants and brigade commanders in the army, but Ma Ren could not get any titles, and his official position in the army was still at the level of battalion commander.

Every time Zheng Yuming saw Ma Ren who was on duty at the Prime Minister's Office, he always felt that he was treated badly.

"I still don't want it. I don't worry if you don't have one of your own guards around you." Chu Zhaohui immediately shook his head and vetoed it.

Although Wei Ren's 100 soldiers were in charge of the palace, and the Wei family was already tightly tied to Zheng Yuming, Chu Chaohui still didn't dare to entrust [-]% of Zheng Yuming's safety to the ancient nobles whose interests were bound.Chu Chaohui only believed in the soldiers he trained by himself, because when he trained these soldiers, he paid great attention to ideological education, and the soldiers who had been edified for three years did not have to doubt their loyalty to him and Zheng Yuming.

"But these 300 people are all talented people. It's too wasteful to be around me." Zheng Yuming regretted that these [-] soldiers had learned knowledge for three years, and everyone was able to read and write. Mathematical calculation ability.In the whole of Daqin, he can be called a cultural person.

Chu Chaohui sat up straight from his slump. "They don't necessarily have to have military merits and official careers. They can write and read. After you train them a little bit, they can be released to govern government affairs in counties and counties." If 300 people are to be released as local officials, they can be released in batches. If there are batches, another batch can be selected from the army to add to the guard.

Beginning next year in the State of Wu, prefectures and counties will be successively established in various places, and the officials of the prefectures and counties will be directly dispatched by the Wang Ting, which requires the dispatch of a large number of officials.Zheng Yuming didn't want all the local officials to use nobles, but the reality forced him to appoint nobles, because there were few common people who could read and write. One thousandth, two.

When a country's officials are all nobles, the country's interests must all be tilted towards the noble class, which Zheng Yuming doesn't want to see.Chu Chaohui's proposal opened up Zheng Yuming's new thinking.

"Zhaohui, you can always find another way to solve problems." Zheng Yuming praised Chu Chaohui without concealment.

"Of course, what problem will be a problem in front of us?" Chu Chaohui did not forget to praise his lover when he fully accepted Zheng Yuming's compliment.

One was sitting on a soft bed, the other was sitting on a chair, and the two of them were affectionate with each other for a while across the table.This flirting only lasted for three to forty seconds, and Chu Chaohui couldn't hold back any longer. He strode over to the desk with a brisk stride, carried Zheng Yuming to his shoulders, and entered the bedroom to start direct physical and mental communication.

This night was a bright moon night, and the snow-bright moonlight shone on the ground, as if it had really been covered with frost.Outside the palace, the watchmen sounded the gong to be played slowly and quickly, and it was already midnight.Footsteps sounded suddenly in the originally quiet inner palace. An envoy left the inner palace with a lantern and a badge, and went straight to the Chancellor's Office. Soon, the door of the Chancellor's Office was knocked.

Before Xihou's coffin, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui were busy with state affairs and funerals. Not only did they not spend much time alone during the day, but at night they had to take turns keeping watch in front of Xihou's coffin.It wasn't until after Xihou's funeral that the ministers of the royal court no longer had to watch the night in front of Xihou's coffin, and Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui had the time to get together alone. The reunion after a farewell is always very passionate. When the door of the chief minister was knocked, Chu Chaohuihui was holding Zheng Yuming in his arms, calming down the aftertaste of the orgasm.

"My lord, the king sent an envoy to see him." Ma Ren's voice sounded outside the bedroom, and the king Ma Ren said was the crown prince Sheng who had just succeeded to the throne.

"Yes, I see." Zheng Yuming hurriedly got up and dressed regardless of his exhaustion.

"What important matter does this fool have? I guess he misses his father again." Chu Chaohui hugged Zheng Yuming, not letting Zheng Yuming move. One sex can't satisfy him at all. Chu Chaohui was dissatisfied with his desires, so he also felt sorry for Wu Wangsheng. There is dissatisfaction.

"I know he won't have any important matters, but even if it's a trivial matter to find me, I have to deal with it as a big matter. For the sake of the prestige of the royal family, we can't treat him as a fool." Zheng Yuming didn't want to crawl in such a cold night in the middle of the night Get up and go to the inner palace to talk boring things with a fool.

With Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui's control over the situation, he can completely treat Wu Wangsheng as Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty.If Zheng Yuming treats the new king like this, the envoys serving the new king will know immediately. Over time, the palace people will start to neglect Wu Wangsheng because he has no real power, and gradually the nobles in the royal court will do the same, and Wu Wangsheng will really fall into the position of Han Xiandi.

In the current social situation of the Great Qin Dynasty, the royal family must exist, and the royal family has an irreplaceable spiritual role.Letting the spiritual leader of a country be neglected is not conducive to Zheng Yuming's development and reform of Wu. What Zheng Yuming wants to do with the new king is to let the new king sit on the altar and ignore world affairs.

"Then I'll go too." Chu Zhaohui let go helplessly.

"Uh, alright, let's go together." Zheng Yuming originally wanted to ask Chu Chaohui to stay and rest, but seeing Chu Chaohui's resentful face, he withdrew his objection.

It's no big deal for Prince Sheng, the current new king Wu Wangsheng, to send envoys to summon Zheng Yuming in the middle of the night.

"Ming, father doesn't talk to me." Wu Wangsheng sat on the bed with disheveled hair, seeing Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui coming in, he hurriedly grabbed Zheng Yuming and complained.

"My lord, I will call myself 'Gu' from now on." Zheng Yuming first corrected the new king's self-proclaimed name.

"Okay, Gu knows it! Ming, my father doesn't talk to Gu." Wu Wangsheng changed quickly.

"Did the former king look at the great king?" Xihou was already dead, and Zheng Yuming knew that Wu Wangsheng had become Xihou in a dream.

"Looking at Sheng, but why did Sheng shout at my father, he ignored me." Wu Wangsheng felt wronged.

"Oh, great king, you forgot to call yourself again. The previous king ignored the great king, maybe the previous king was angry." Zheng Yuming persevered in teaching the new king the etiquette of being the lord of the country.

"Ming, what should Sheng do to keep his father from being angry?" Wu Wangsheng asked Zheng Yuming humbly for advice.

"Your Majesty, as long as you are the leader of the Wu Kingdom, you will be very happy to see your Majesty in your dreams." Zheng Yuming dealt with Wu Wangsheng with the patience of coaxing his niece.

"Oh, it turns out that as long as Sheng is a good king, father will pay attention to Sheng!" Wu Wangsheng suddenly realized, and after the doubts in his heart were resolved, he let go of Zheng Yuming's sleeves and fell asleep, hoping to see his father again when he fell asleep.

When Zheng Yuming and Wu Wangsheng were talking, Chu Chaohui stood beside him silently. He deeply felt that he needed to find a new person to share his worries for Wu Wangsheng, so that he and his lover would not be disturbed when they had a rare night together.After the new year, the king of Wu should follow the last king's will to do lifelong events early!
