Chapter 237 Weird Assassin
Zhao Wu shook his horse whip and explained casually: If Ji Zha was unwilling to be the king of Wu, instead, he came to Jin to be a minister. Why did Wu face the face? Others would not help but misunderstand Ji Zha would be greedy for prosperity and refused to stay in the remote Wu country.
Wu from the Bank of China hurriedly asked: Isn’t it?
Zhao Wu shook his head: No, Ji Zha is just a person who refuses to take responsibility. He has been favored by his father since he was a child. He has the protection of his elder brother. He never has to bear any obligations. He is a young man who only knows how to enjoy. Such a person is neither willing to be the king of Wu nor willing to take any responsibility for our Jin State. If that is the case, we might as well give him no responsibility.
To put it better, we did this to give him a chance to resign and be a virtuous person. He could accompany his widow to enjoy music without any responsibility, so that he could live leisurely and leisurely. You don’t have to worry about not having enough fiefdom Ji Zha would not be able to support himself. This matter would make the king worry about this. Anyway, the king now has a lot of money. The king rewards Ji Zha, and the favors are with the king. Ji Zha is also more dedicated to accompanying the county king.
Wu of the Bank of China thought for a while and replied: What you said is always reasonable. Even the little dwarf Yan Ying of Qi can't argue with you. Why should I argue with you? What I worry most now is: when the king of Wu dies, the Chu army can draw troops from the southern line. Now, what we have to face is the entire Chu army. Zhao Wu disagreed: order the army to continue to advance, and we will attack Shen State tonight.
Shen State is the only few southern vassal states left by Chu State. The small Shen State never expected that it would attract all the troops in the north. Under the city, the coalition forces of various countries that could not be seen at first sight were blocked by the coalition forces of various countries. The king of Shen State climbed up the city wall and looked at it. The coalition forces of various countries were almost seamlessly connected under his wall, row by row, extending from under his wall to the end of the horizon, and they could not count them.
The king of Shen State shivered, and he turned around and asked his ruling: What did the king say?
Shen State's ruler answered tremblingly: The king said: He gathered troops in the rear. If Shen State can persist, he will fight one or two games with the coalition forces; if he feels unable to persist, please just surrender, he will not blame us for this.
The king of Shen nodded and repeatedly ordered: Send people out of the city to reward the Jin team.
The ruling ruler of Shen State turned his eyes and suggested: Lord, there are exactly a few Chu merchants in the city, rich and wealthy. It is better to take the army's money to wait for the King of Chu's army to come. We can blame this crime on the people of Jin State. That is to say, the Chu people in the city demanded the army to be launched, and the Jin people asked us to give the Chu people in the city so that they could detain them.
The king of Shen thought about it and replied: This is not good. If you give away all the Chu merchants in the city, you may complain if the King of Chu turned around. It would be better for us to tell the Chu merchants and ask them to elect three envoys themselves to go to Jin to work in front of Jin. As for how the Jin people deal with the Chu people, that's not our business.
The news reached the entire Chu merchants' traveling. The Chu merchants were in a big uproar, and the merchants had a fierce quarrel. They were preparing to condemn the innocence of sending people to Shen Jun. The shameless merchants would not come to a conclusion soon. In the midst of chaos, three Chu merchants stood up and volunteered to say: Let's go and go to Jin camp to work the army. It's not a big deal. We have contacted Zhao merchants before and know a little about dating them. But we are all small businesses and do not have enough money to please the Jin people. Therefore, please make up some of the wealth required by the military.
These three Chu people were sturdy and big-footed. They could be seen as people who often traveled abroad. Their skin was dark, their hands were thick and their hands were thick, and they were walking in the style of a military man.
Previously, the three merchants said that they were paint vendors and mainly sold paint to Chen State. Because of the Chen State's incident, they were forced to stay in Shen State to watch. Paint was a luxury item similar to jewelry in the Spring and Autumn Period. A few buckets of paint had to occupy a huge amount of money, so the three brought very few goods. The three of them could just fill a car with them.
Paint is not a military product. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the army mainly focused on food. Of course, it was occasionally mixed with some wood and metal equipment, but these were not painted, and painted was too luxurious.
In the early Spring and Autumn Period, I rewarded the armies of all countries. According to the titles of the other king, I offered cattle, sheep, war horses, treasure jade, and some gold and bronze ware of different numbers. However, it is now the late Spring and Autumn Period, and Jin State is the overlord again. Therefore, the provisions of the ritual system can no longer limit the army of the Jin State.
The Chu merchants in the city gathered together. One hundred cows and three hundred sheep. A merchant selling silk took out a few pieces of silk, and the king of Shen picked out more than a dozen pieces of beautiful jade from the royal treasures. He also collected more than a hundred exquisite bronze swords cast by Wu Yue and Chu, and barely collected a gift of a gift. Then Shen Jun ordered people to collect two hundred carats of firewood and grass, and the three Chu merchants led the convoy to go out of the city to build the coalition forces of Jin.
It was already evening when the three Chu merchants left the city. The sun had just set and the thin mist in the fields floated up. At this time, the camp of Jin State had already begun to bury the pot and make rice. The curling smoke mixed with the strong fragrance of the meal floated in the air. It was very mouth-watering.
Among the three Chu merchants, the oldest was about forty years old, with a simple and honest look; the second child was in his early twenties and had a lively personality; the third child was a little timid, and he was close to the boss's right side. The boss took one step and he followed him. The two of them ran around the same quarter, and they occasionally glanced at the engineers beside him.
Seeing the third brother's nervous look, the second brother showed a mouth-watering expression, staring at the Jin soldiers escorting them in front of him, and joked in the popular Jin language. I heard that Zhao was rich, and when the soldiers went to war, they used strong spices and salt to make many duck chickens. This kind of baked duck chicken is not eaten normally, but when they marched into the wild and did a meal, they broke off a duck leg or duck wings and boiled it with a whole pot of soup. The soup has both the salty flavor and the spice flavor. You can also eat meaty meat, right?
The second brother said that he was praising Zhao Bing, but the one who escorted them was the army of the Zhonghang clan. The Zhonghang clan soldiers curled their lips and sighed and complained: People are so angry that people are so angry. When Zhao Bing went to fight, they all had weapons and armor. They also provided some food, including chicken, duck, pork. They were tired of eating it, and when we went to fight, we all needed to prepare our own weapons. If we hadn't paid some money with the Wuwei Army, we would probably have to prepare our own food.
The second brother replied casually: Even so, I heard that your military achievements belong to you.
Under the eighteenth-level military merit system, you are very sacrificed. The eldest brother suddenly coughed, and then the third brother also coughed, and the second brother immediately changed the topic: Jin State united the countries to move south this time, and our king has retreated one after another. Why is Jin State still pressing step by step?
The young master of Zhongxing clan said, and replied: Chu people, you should not pay attention to these questions.
The second brother smiled and responded: That's that's that.
At the entrance of Zhao Wu's central army tent, Qi Ce was arranging hundreds of thousands of troops to eat in each army. Although the troops of the princes of various countries participated in the war as auxiliary soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people were also very cumbersome. Seeing the envoy sent by Shen State to work hard, Qi Ce looked at the three merchants of Chu State. He frowned and asked: Why, Shen Jun did not come.
The boss smiled honestly and replied: We will come to work hard first when we are ordered to help the army. The envoy of the emperor is packing his luggage and will arrive later.
Qi Ce frowned: I'm afraid Shen Jun dared to work hard before you dare to surrender after you go out of the city.
After Qi Ce said that, he made way for the way forward. Qi Wu walked over and answered dissatisfiedly: What's wrong with the monarch and ministers of the State of Shen? Even the envoys of the army were divided into order. Is there such a rule? The people of Shen may have followed the barbarians and pointed out that the State of Chu had been too long and no longer knew the rules of China. You can follow me and be more ruling.
Qi Ce was still outside the tent, and he leisurely counted the complete military supplies. He said with satisfaction: After the king of Shen Kingdom surrendered, perhaps we could obtain another resource from Shen Kingdom. At that time, the countries that went south not only had enough food and grass, but also could make a small profit.
The soldiers of the Zhonghang clan who had just sent three Chu merchants into the camp interrupted and said: Mr. Qi, the Wuwei Army usually receives military pay, and they have a salary to participate in the war. We bring our own weapons and armor to join the war. Can we make more money?
Qi Ce grinned: What you said is exactly what I am worried about. The marshal established the professional nature of the Wuwei Army, but they were also Jin people. According to the military merit reward system, they should also reward them for making military merits. However, they are warriors and members of the gentry. Participating in the war is a duty, and they should not have paid any salary. After the war, they have to reward them for military merits with you who are voluntarily. This seems unfair to you. After all, you are participating in the war at your own expense, and they are fighting with salary.
The soldiers of the Bank of China asked casually: Yes, yes, although we do not pay taxes, the war now requires that weapons become more and more sophisticated. Armor is becoming more and more expensive, and it is impossible to afford the corresponding weapons and armor just by relying on the tax-free discount.
If it is not for military merit or to maintain a title, who is still interested in serving for the period of time
The boys of Wuweijun usually receive salaries and state-equipped weapons and armor. After making military achievements, they have to pay equal rewards with us. This is too unfair to us.
Qi Ce also frowned and replied: Yes. This is obvious injustice, but the eighteenth-level military merit system has just begun to be implemented, and there must be imperfections in it. We are considering how to make up for it.
The soldier of Zhongxing clan responded repeatedly and nodded, saying: Of course the marshal will come up with a solution. The three Chu people who came just now all praised the 18th-level military merit system established by the marshal. The marshal is so smart that he can definitely improve it if he comes up with such an incentive mechanism.
Qi Ce asked carefully: You just said that the three Chu merchants who came also knew our eighteenth-level military merit system.
The soldiers of the Zhonghang Family nodded: Yes
Qi Ce's face changed, and he blurted out: Who told them this?
The soldiers of the Zhonghang family replied disapprovingly: Isn’t this something everyone knows?
Qi Ce jumped up and shouted loudly: Beware, beware immediately. If anyone dares to move around the marshal's tent, he will be killed without hesitation.
Zhang Yao, who had just arrived, heard the second half of the sentence, his face changed. Seeing the confused expression of the soldiers of the Zhongxing clan, he shouted angrily: "The eighteenth-level military merit system is the national policy of our Jin State. How could a person who cares about the national policies of other countries be a small businessman? Where did he learn this news? Who told him?
The soldiers of the Zhonghang Family have just woken up like a dream. There are no mobile phone text messages, no newspapers, no radio, and Jin and Chu are in a hostile relationship. Who would care about the national policy of a hostile country? People who are not concerned about reading the national policy tell the two people who are the old people in person how they understood the newly established system of Jin State.
How long has this system been established? According to the information transmission degree of several centimeters per year in the Spring and Autumn Period, what kind of people in the State of Chu can know how many years ago the new system was born in Jin State.
Earlier, Qi Wu led three Chu State merchants into the military tent. At that time, Zhao Wu was lying on the table and looking through the map. There were still bamboo slips piled up on the table. Ying Chu stood beside Zhao Wu, holding an oil lamp for Zhao Wu. Wu Jesus sat a few steps away from the table, watching the three merchants come in fear. Lin Hu stood behind Zhao Wu, and fanned with a fan boredly.
wind.
The weather was too hot, and Zhao Wu was wearing a cloth robe, no hat on his head, and a pair of cloth shoes under his feet. Sweat beads were flowing on his forehead, and a Chu girl was washing a towel in the corner. She carefully folded the washed towel, put it in a bronze tray, and then raised the tray. She walked towards Zhao Wu. During the whole process, the tent was quiet, with only the sound of twisting the towel, the sound of water, Chu girl's footsteps.
Zhao Wu did not raise his head, and reached out to take the towel. He wiped his sweat with one hand and gestured on the map with the other: The army passed over Shen State, and in front of us was Hu State, Jiang State, and Jiang State, and now Chu State. Turning to the west was Xi State, Jiang State, Deng State, Tang State, Sui State, and two counties, Ling County, and then there are three thousand miles away from the city, where is the King of Chu State? Where is the army of Chu State?
All countries said that Zhao Wu was weak. Three Chumu merchants carefully observed the image of Zhao Wu. They felt that this adjective was not very accurate. Zhao Wu was not thin. He was very tall, but this man had very white skin and looked very elegant. He spoke softly and did not have the loud voice he had developed as a general. Legend has it that Zhao Wu commanded the army. They all performed their duties through his retainers. I believe that with Zhao Wu's voice, he could not shout loudly in the military formation.
The three bosses of the Chu Shangs studied for a long time and felt that Zhao Wu seemed to have the habit of wearing loose clothes. His clothes were very loose, and the unique softness of the fabric made Zhao Wu's wide robe flutter in the wind even if a breeze blew. By chance, the boss saw Zhao Wu's bare legs under the robe, and that leg was not slender. From this, it was speculated that Zhao Wu actually had a lot of muscles, but because of his dress, coupled with his habit of speaking and his literary appearance, it left a feeling of being weak.
In fact, in front of them, this marshal is the world's number one general after Yang Youji.
Qi Wu coughed and said loudly: The king of Shen State sent three Chu merchants in the city to contribute their military resources to our army, including:
Qi Wu read the gift list again. Zhao Wu raised his head and handed the towel that had been wiped with sweat back to Chu Nu. He took a new towel and put it on his neck. He waved his hand and ordered his retainers to return to his seat. Then he sat down, turned around and called the attendants to bring their armor and clothes, and prepared to change into official uniforms to meet the envoys of Chu.
At this time, the second among the three people's eyes were circulating. He left the queue, Echizen looked at the oil lamp on the table and exclaimed: What an exquisite oil lamp, I don't know how much this lamp costs. Ying Ting pressed the sword and scolded: Push it down
Lin Hu's hand was quick, and he rushed up and pressed his dick down, cursing: How can he go beyond the ranks and tragedy in front of the ruler?
The third brother cried out in fear. Everyone turned their eyes to the child unconsciously. Zhao Wu also stopped, frowned, and ordered: Don't scare the child,
At this time, the boss quickly left the second and third brothers. He walked forward two steps, groping in his arms, and lowered his head to Zhao Wu: Marshal. In fact, we still have a treasure heirloom in our family and wanted to offer it. We only hope that the Marshal can let go of the rest of the Chu merchants in the city for the sake of this treasure.
Zhao Wu replied lazily: In the past, the ruling Zihan of Zheng State said that others regard Baoyu as beauty, but he regards precious qualities as Baoyu. Although I cannot be as noble as Zihan, there are very few treasures that can impress me today.
The boss groped out of his arms and took out a cloth bag. He spread it in front of his feet. The cloth bag was not big, which was just two slaps. The boss reached out and unbuttoned the cloth bag. He answered confidently: The Marshal must like this treasure. I heard that the Marshal has some unique experience in making equipment. My family treasure was carefully created by Feng Huzi, a famous teacher from the State of Chu. It is unique in the world. Please take a look.
When Boss Net started talking, he opened the cloth bag very slowly. When his words were over, the boss quickly accelerated his movements. When he lifted the last layer of cloth corners, he grabbed a black and energetic thing from the cloth bag like lightning. He raised it at Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu was stunned. He sat behind the table and was completely stunned.
The thing that the boss took out is indeed not big, it is pitch black overall and has a grip. No matter how you look at that grip looks like the handle of a pistol.
That's right, that thing is just as big as a pistol. Perhaps it's as big as a Uz submachine gun, with a towering box above the barrel, like a magazine of an Uz submachine gun.
The boss took this thing and looked at Zhao Wu. There were two holes like gun holes above the thing. Hei Kui was so charming that he was aiming at Zhao Wu.
Uz submachine gun is amazing
