Chapter 651: The Jade Seal of the Kingdom

"Luoyang accent?" Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Jing both looked strange. "You are sure you heard it wrong? It's not just one person, a few people, but hundreds of people have such accent?"

Zhong Jing looked at her husband with confusion.

"Can I hear this wrong?" Tang Hu was a little dissatisfied. "I may not know the accent of other places, but I will never hear the accent of Luoyang. When I beat Xiao Tianci's dog in the capital, the soldiers he brought fought with us, and it was exactly the same as the other party's shouting today, even the same as the words of his mother scolding."

Seeing Tang Hu's expression, Zhong Jing smiled and gently stroked her husband's shoulders, "Okay, I know you won't hear it wrong. I'm just quite confused. General Zheng, what do you think?"

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded, "This place is thousands of miles away from Da Chu and even further from Luoyang. How could so many people with Luoyang accents gather here?"

Several people were talking, and Zheng Zhiqiang walked into the cabin with a strange look on his face. Looking at him, everyone knew that maybe he had an answer.

"What do those prisoners say?" Zheng Zhiyuan stood up and asked.

"I really saw the ghost." Zheng Zhiqiang said: "This group of prisoners said in unison that they belonged to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They have been living on this island and have never left."

"What's their accent?" Zhong Jing asked, "Three miles are different in pronunciation, ten miles are different in customs. Here we are thousands of miles away from Luoyang, why are the accents so similar? Along the way, the dialects we encountered are all kinds of strange."

"They said they always talked like this, and their fathers and grandfathers also talked like this." Zheng Zhiqiang said, "There are even more strange things!"

"what else?"

"Didn't this group of prisoners say that they are citizens of the Great Zhou? It turns out that this small island is still a country, called Dazhou. Do you know what the country of the Great Zhou is called?"

"Can you call me Luoyang?" Tang Hu laughed. Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Jing also laughed, "Don't interrupt Hu Zi!"

"It's called Luoyang!" Zheng Zhiqiang's face was also very strange and tight.

"What?" Everyone was foolish.

"These dozens of prisoners come from different places, some say they are from Youyan, some say they are from Yizhou, and some say they are from Minzhou, and the most ridiculous thing is that there is another one who claims to be from Dingzhou." Zheng Zhiqiang said ridiculously, but there was no smile on his face.

Tang Hu was so happy that he was so angry that he was so angry that he pounded the table and said, "I laughed so hard, I laughed so hard, this place with a big butt actually called these names, and it's still Dingzhou. I'm not much smaller than him in the territory of a county in Dingzhou."

Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Jing couldn't laugh. While listening to Zheng Zhiqiang's detailed explanation of the interrogation, they were shocked. Although the birds here were small, they were all complete, and they were almost the same as the current administrative system of Da Chu, and even the regional division was generally the same. Most of the 56 states in Da Chu were there, but they had become smaller versions. A state often had only one town or a village. If it weren't very familiar with the territory of Da Chu, it would be difficult to do such things, not only were the same name, but also the general direction was the same.

"Big Zhou, Da Zhou?" Zheng Zhiyuan murmured in his mouth, suddenly remembering the records in the history books he had read, his face turned a little pale, and he turned to look at Zhong Jing, who was also looking at him.

"Big Zhou!" The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in their eyes.

"What are you two fighting for?" Tang Hu knocked on the table, "Is this kind of jumping clown worthy of your hard work? We have already landed and have a rest for a night. Tomorrow, all the soldiers of the Marine Corps will be mobilized and fought over. I want to see if the so-called Luoyang is as tall and strong as the Great Chu Luoyang?"

"Hu Zi, things are a bit unusual." Zhong Jing whispered: "The dynasty before the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom was called the Great Zhou. Emperor Yingwu of the Great Chu overthrew the Great Zhou regime."

"Ah!" Tang Hu shouted in surprise and looked at the two of them, "Can they...?"

Zhong Jing nodded, "The Emperor Yingwu of the Great Chu destroyed the Great Zhou, captured Luoyang, and captured the Emperor of the Great Zhou in the last days, but the crown prince was missing at that time. Moreover, the imperial seal passed down with the crown prince was also the imperial seal that had been passed down for thousands of years in our Central Plains. Without the imperial seal, it would be injustice!"

Zheng Zhiqiang said on the side: "You mean the current Great Chu Dynasty does not have a jade seal at all, but, but..."

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded, "Yes, the jade seal used by the Emperor of Great Chu is later imitated. Although it looks similar, it is not the original object."

"After the Emperor Yingwu ascended the great treasure, he searched all over the world, but did not find the whereabouts of the crown prince and the imperial seal. Later, the Emperor Yingwu had no choice but to imitate a deceiving world. In order not to attract attention, Emperor Yingwu no longer pursued the imperial seal on the surface, and claimed to the outside world that the crown prince had been executed and the imperial seal had returned to the court, but in the dark, he did not relax his search. The official was born at that time. At that time, the only purpose of establishing the official Fangsi was to find the prince and the imperial seal. However, later the foundation of the Great Chu became increasingly solid and the national power grew. The official Fangsi was unsuccessful for a long time. This function gradually faded, and the official Fangsi became a spy institution in later generations. Over the past few hundred years, there were very few people who knew this secret." Zhong Jing said.

"How did you know?" Tang Hu stared at Zhong Jing with one eye.

Zhong Jing smiled and said, "Some things can be seen from historical books. If you don't read Hu Zi, you will naturally not know them. However, some of them are secret scrolls of our investigation department, so few people know them outside."

Zheng Zhiyuan looked solemn and said to Zhong Jing: "If we did not make any mistakes in the analysis, then the crown prince must have brought a large number of people to boat when the Great Zhou was about to collapse, and settled down after arriving at this place. In other words, this is the survivors of the previous dynasty. The imperial seal must be here."

Except for Tang Hu, the other three people in the room were excited. They knew too clearly what the imperial seal meant. He represented the orthodox and the divine authority of the monarch. With him, Dingzhou would no longer be the rebellion of the great Chu, but would be justified and taken against it.

"We must get him, and we must get the imperial seal at any cost." Zheng Zhiyuan clenched his fists and waved his force in the air.

"What are you hesitating about?" Tang Hu said loudly: "Gather the team immediately, let's kill Luoyang, and destroy that shitty Zhou. Isn't this jade seal ours?"

Zhong Jing gave her husband a blank look, "Is that simple? Hu Zi, you have personally participated in today's battle. These people are very different from pirates, organized and disciplined, and it is difficult to fight. And now we are blindly ignorant of this place, and we don't know anything, what the terrain is like here, how many troops the other party has, what traps we will encounter, how to take it down at the lowest price, etc. If we advance blindly, once we fail, we stay away from the local area, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"You are the only one who is trouble!" Tang Hu said dissatisfied: "I don't believe that this group of defeated soldiers can still block our famous Dingzhou army."

"Before we are concerned about victory, we are defeated first. General Tiger and General Zhong are right. We are all storms and waves. We can't capsize the boat in this small gutter. Besides, we must report such a big thing to the general. During this period, we will first gain a foothold here, inquire about the specific situation, and be foolproof. You also know that we only have 5,000 Marine soldiers, plus sailors, and only more than 20,000 people. The only thing that can go ashore to fight is the Marines. In terms of military strength, we are at a disadvantage. Just look at today's port battle, there are more than a thousand enemy troops here, and there are only a few enemy troops on this island."

"Yes, Hu Zi, on the other side of this island, there are mostly endless mountains. If the attack is in a hurry, the other party escapes into the mountains, what should we do? Are we going into the mountains? I'm afraid it's a needle in the sea. Besides, what if the other party wants to break the dead and destroy the imperial seal? Wouldn't we beating it all in a mess? At that time, I'm afraid that the general will blame us for being ineffective."

"Is this jade seal so important? Da Chu has not had this thing, so he has been sitting in the world for hundreds of years. Does our Grand Marshal need him? We carve one in our own home, and it's the same!" Tang Hu sneered, "In this world, as long as our fists are hard enough and our knife is fast enough, I'm afraid of a bird. After the Grand Marshal sits in the world, who dares to chop him up with a knife?"

"Huzi!" Zhong Jing looked at him with a angrily look, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Don't you know, the Qingliu scholars in Da Chu now regard the Grandmaster as a enemy, which has led to a serious shortage of talents in Dingzhou. Even if the world is settled, these noble guys may not be convinced by the Grandmaster. They are not like ordinary people. Some people can eat, live a living well, and they will be satisfied. They are talking about an orthodox inheritance. If the Grandmaster gets it, they will be satisfied.

With the real jade seal of the kingdom, it means that the rule of the Great Chu over the past few hundred years has not been granted by heaven, but rather the rioters usurped the throne. If our general destroys him, it will be justified. The scholars have nothing to say, and there is also a reason for joining the general to serve the general. This is not small. It is easy to win the world, but difficult to govern the world. Can you rely on a powerful general like you to govern the world? If you give you a state, it will probably be a waste of life in the people."

"Okay, okay!" Tang Hu stood up reluctantly: "Anyway, I never can't tell you. You can do whatever you say. As long as there is a war, I'll go to bed first. When will you go to bed?"

Tang Hu made Zhong Jing blush with one word, glanced at Tang Hu angrily, and Zheng Zhiqiang laughed out loud, then quickly covered his mouth, Zheng Zhiyuan coughed a few times, and said, "Okay, let's talk about this today, General Zhong, you go and rest first. I have to draft a report to the Grand Marshal immediately. I will check it out for you tomorrow morning. If there is no problem, we will send it out."

Zhong Jing responded, walked out of the cabin with Tang Hu with red face. Behind him, Zheng Zhiyuan finally couldn't help laughing.
