When the Qin soldiers crossed the border, it was the beginning of April.

At the beginning of April, everything recovered.

But when the Qin soldiers passed through the first city of Chu, all things recovered, and at the same time, the grass on the graves of the soldiers who died under the swords of the Qin people was revived.

Qingming after the spring equinox has only passed one month, but the grass that has been removed has begun to rise again.

Up, up, up, there is something going up in the hearts of Chu people.

When the troops of Qin State passed through this city, the people of Chu began to pay attention.

In this look, there are those who wish to kill them, and those who are confused.

What the **** are they doing?

Why did you try your best to drive these people away, but they came back after a few years?

Every piece of land the Qin people set foot on was made by their family members wrapped in blood with mud and paved long roads with corpses.

The curved bow on Qin's back, the big knife in his hand, and the fierce horse under his crotch have all shot through the chests of brothers, chopped off the heads of their family members, and dragged the elderly, children, and women.

They were high above and trampled on the soul and body of the Chu people, but now they are coming back.

An old man cried.

The person next to him persuaded: "The emperor is also trying to protect our Chu country from the war in the Yu country. You don't want us to be destroyed like the Lu country, right?"

But the old man said: "It's not that I want to cry, but it just flashed by. It seems that I saw the person who killed my son and remembered the past."

He wiped his tears and said, "I don't know, old man, I have had nightmares for four or five years. In the dream, the warhorse of Qin State dragged my daughter-in-law to run, and my grandson was chasing him with his hands tied and he shouted. : Mother, mother, don't take off my mother's clothes—"

As soon as these words came out, someone said resentfully: "These beasts, when they were attacked and exited the border, they also stole a lot of women, stripped people's clothes, and dragged them naked. It's really hateful. "

The person next to him said again: "I heard that it was the evil deed of a general of the Qin state. If the others did not do this, that general has been dismissed and investigated. Now, all those who come here are people with military discipline."

The old man smiled miserably and said, "Sir, I understand the truth, but the little old man's heart hurts. You always talk about the state of Yu, but the old man's life was saved by Doctor Yu, but the five old man's Sons, old wives, grandsons, daughters-in-law, all of these beasts were killed!"

The man who was called the old gentleman paused and said, "Your Majesty has his own plans. If the Qin people don't come to help, our Chu country will go up against Yu alone, and we have no chance of winning. We can only go with Qin. The League of Nations can achieve the odds of winning.”

The old man: "Sir, I have said it all, I understand the truth, you see, the old man, I am well behaved, neither spit at them nor threw stones at them, I just cried, I just cried The family that died, my youngest grandson, who was only three years old, was tied to a horse and dragged all the way to his death."

After he finished, he waved his hand, "If the old gentleman says I'm guilty, then go to the government to beat the drums and arrest me. The old man's house is dead, and he has a cheap life. If it wasn't for the fact that Doctor Yu said that it was not easy to save my life, it took a lot of work. Good medicinal materials, I am not alive - you have to live to be worthy of other people's medicine, right?"

He walked back slowly, and suddenly sang the song of the Chu people.

- Sad, sad, where did the people of Chu go?

...

"It makes us seem to like coming here." Xiaobing still said bitterly: "If it wasn't for the family and the country, who would want to come to this ghost place, we are obviously here to help them, but they look at us like they want to eat. Like us."

The old soldier said: "You are young and you are not in the army of the forbidden generals. I don't know. At that time, we Qin people really did something very bad to Chu people..."

The veteran is a reasonable person, and when he thinks of the women who were dragged into the camp, he feels uneasy, but at that time, everyone seemed to be red-eyed and crazy, and did some unreasonable things.

He still remembered that a taciturn man beside him **** a seven- or eight-year-old girl.

That's a human nightmare.

The old soldier used the knife to save the girl, but during the war, raising the knife to his compatriots had already committed a big taboo, so the old soldier was whipped several times at that time.

But he doesn't regret it. Finally sent people back.

But when he sent it back, he still got angry eyes.

The old soldier sighed: "The court can resolve the hatred because of the temporary need to fight against Yu, but the people who dominate the court have not really experienced the despair on the battlefield. They just heard, heard, and then got angry. They just felt that the country was going to death, so we must protect our country.”

"But the families of those dead soldiers have experienced it firsthand, and even dreaming back at midnight, they can still remember what happened before. Their hatred for us has been etched in their bones, I think... This trip is bad luck. not enough."

Xiao Bing was a little dissatisfied with the old soldier's eloquent chatter, and he also disagreed with the old soldier's ambition to rely on others, so he turned his head and chatted with others.

Before the war, everyone was very busy.

...

The capital of Yu Kingdom.

Zhe Qing opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, looked at it, and said: "Father, this Chu Tianqi is getting worse and worse. You said, how much he paid for when he invited Qin."

Emperor Yu is painting beautiful pictures of the country and mountains - he has recently become obsessed with cultivating sentiments, and he likes to paint after the dynasty.

He heard the words and said with a smile: "No matter how much the price is paid, the first thing is to protect the state of Chu. From the emperor's point of view, he is not wrong."

"We are now called Qiang Yu by others. If we strengthen Yu and weaken Chu, Chu will be defeated, so we must add Qiang Qin. Didn't you see that he still invited Yan to join him?"

It is a pity that Emperor Yan felt that he wanted Qi and Jin, and hoped to open up the north and the south, and his ambition was not there.

The country has the self-confidence of the country. The state of Chu had no self-confidence, and could only ask for help from the state of Qin.

"He's just in a hurry." Emperor Yu said, "How long has it been since Qin Chu made an appointment? King Yan has been in the capital for a few months. Back then, when we conquered the state of Lu and our troops approached the border of Chu, the Emperor Chu was naturally afraid. We sent people early to discuss with Yan and Qin. The Qin people agreed and began to prepare to go to Chu. All this will take time, but we will not fight Chu.”

He laughed: "What are we fighting in the Chu country, we can't get enough to eat. But before Shen Liu retreated from the border, they didn't dare to move, and Qin didn't dare to withdraw. Therefore, Qin and Chu had an agreement, If there is no actual action, then the agreement is equivalent to no, the Chu State is afraid, and the Qin State is also annoyed. When the army moves, the food and grass will go first, and the Qin State has prepared the food and grass, but the Chu State has not moved, and the Qin State's food and grass has been consumed?"

In fact, after sitting on the throne, he thinks about the whole country. As far as Chu Tianqi is concerned, he is for the Chu country, and there is nothing wrong with him.

If he did not turn to Qin for help, his kingdom would be destroyed.

The people's complaints and suffering in front of the country are just petty emotions.

"And 80 years ago, the Pre-Qin Dynasty was divided into seven kingdoms. Now, seeing the seven kingdoms, they are about to be unified again. We can bear the temper and not beat them, but they can't bear the temper to hit us."

"Last year's severe drought, Chu's food was almost gone, and the people's livelihood was full of grievances. Only the external war can make the people's hearts unite."

Zhe Qing pouted and said, "Chu Tianqi is really... as expected, he can only be a politician and a strategist. Once he obtains something beyond his ability, he will always be able to act like a politician."

The three emperors of the Chu Kingdom that she had experienced were obviously not talented in governing the country.

At the beginning, Duan Jun didn't say anything, and he only knew how to send things to Qin State. No matter how Qin State trampled him, he would not complain, and he would kill loyal ministers and trust traitors to hinder the soldiers at the border.

So Zhao Tian of the aristocratic family ascended the throne. Zhao Tian's sudden seizure of the throne was also the stimulus after his friend was killed. It was a move that conformed to the will of the people.

After he ascended the throne, he did not actually change the extravagant style of the family, but just did what a Chu person should do, that is, drive out the Qin state.

It is in line with the people's hearts and the law of nature, so he won.

After the Qin State drove away, his shortcomings were exposed. He had never led troops to fight on the front line. He just sat in the palace and told the generals: "We want to win."

So winning is not his ability. He hastily sat on the throne of God King, he needs to learn a lot.

It is easy to fight, but difficult to defend.

At this time, there were no foreign enemies, and the internal contradictions of the Chu state came out. The aristocratic family has more power than the imperial power, and there are more capable people who want to replace it.

At this time, Zhao Tian pulled up his advisor, Chu Tianqi. He believed in Chu Tianqi's mouth and ability, and married his daughter to him.

Is this relationship strong?

Chu Tianqi was born in a small family, talented and talented, but he couldn't stand the many conspiracies and tricks he had to face after being promoted.

He could risk his life to fight with the family, but he forgot one thing.

The more he used his own plans to defeat the family, the more he inadvertently made Zhao Tian grumpy.

Chu Tianqi is a strategist. Strategists like to come to Yin, and they like to use all means to maximize their own interests.

For example, to unite with the Qin state.

He is also a strategist.

Moreover, it would be good if they could unite with the Qin State to take down their Yu State and divide it up with the Qin State.

Just like gambling money, people can always gamble with red eyes.

Zhe Qing stood up and said, "Chu Tianqi's eldest son is a smart one. It's a pity that his father's country is not his turn."

Chu Tianqi's life was too smooth.

From a strategist to an emperor, he hardly suffered setbacks.

At this time, Emperor Yu had already drawn a map of the river and mountains. Zhe Qing took a look and also drew Chu and Qin countries into it.

She laughed, "Father, you must have painted too early."

But Qin Chu started to move, so she could start moving too.

 …

These major national events have nothing to do with the common people of the Yu Kingdom. To be precise, they still have nothing to do with being forced.

Because even though they knew they were going to fight, they knew that Chu and Qin were going to fight them together, so they crowded to the government office with bright eyes, saying that they wanted to join the army.

"It's good to eat in the army." A young man said: "Now I heard that every ton of pork is eaten?"

Another person strongly condemned him, "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the individual. How can you go to war just to eat? Is there no pork to eat at home?"

The young man was not annoyed, and said, "Can the pork eaten at home be more delicious than the one eaten on the battlefield?"

At this time, they were in Wenzhou, and because the yamen said that they would not accept troops this year, they regretted getting together to talk.

"Furthermore, my cousin, Fusheng, joined General Zhao Shide to join General Shen Liu. What about now? They have been promoted to captain."

Now every time the soldiers are sent back, they are envious of the people in the village. Who would have thought that Fusheng, a greedy baby, could have such a great fortune?

As a cousin, it wouldn't be bad if you think about it, right?

All from a grandfather.

Just out of time! Now that the war is imminent, there is no recruitment.

Someone said: "Last year, there were a lot of recruits, and all of them were trained. If we go again, it is also in logistics. If we don't go to the battlefield, what does the imperial court support us?"

This is true.

In recent years, there have been continuous recruitment, and people have crowded their heads. They want to go now, but they don't want them anymore.

"You said that soldiers from other countries will be able to train strong men if they don't go. If they go, they will give them knives and take them to the battlefield. But we need to measure our eyesight, physical strength, and various tests when we are soldiers. It's not like going to the battlefield right away, but also training, and training like a grandson every day."

When he said this, he got ridiculed by the people next to him, saying: "Then don't come."

The person who said the previous words said: "...Just kidding, how can I not come, the more skill I have, the more chance to survive."

After saying that, he walked away, but the others laughed and said, "He's showing off."

Then the sarcastic people looked to the side, and sure enough, a Shanxi merchant stood there with a bitter face. Seeing everyone looking over, he shook his head and smiled and said, "I hope one day, I will be Jin Ruyu."

Then he took the opportunity to launch his own things, "It's all easy-to-use fabrics, do you want to take a look? It's spun with that kind of Jenny spinning machine."

"What is this?"

"Is it from Xuzhou?"

"It seems to be the same principle as rumbling."

"How much is a piece of silver?"

A group of people gathered around to buy cloth again, instantly forgetting that they were here to join the army.

...

Xuzhou, Mulan Textile Factory.

This textile factory was run by the imperial court and was subordinate to Lord Luo Wanyueluo of the Weaving Bureau.

Mei Xiang was sent here and began to learn weaving.

The people who came in with her were all the girls' homes, and she was the only one, the aunt. Her identity was still said and spread, and for the first time Mei Xiang felt that she was different from her.

But here, everyone has a lot of strange life experiences, such as those who fled from the famine, some who died of their husbands, some who divorced with their husbands, and some women in their 50s who refused to enjoy leisure at home and ran away. to do things.

But as a concubine, she was the first to be sent by her family.

On the first day of Mei Xiang's work, she was a little reluctant to go home. She said: "Everyone looks at me strangely, Madam, go and tell the master for your concubine, I really don't want to go. I can spin and weave at home, so why go outside? "

Madam Tang naturally felt sorry for her and said, "Then don't go there. The master is back. I will tell him myself."

But Master Tang didn't agree. He couldn't explain it clearly to the two of them, so he said: "You do it first, and then go to learn that Jenny spinning machine. When you learn it, when will you come back."

Mei Xiang had no choice but to go back to work, but it was Mrs. Tang who did not let Mr. Tang enter the room at night. The whole popularity became a big fat fish with braised fish, and she felt that her husband had learned badly outside.

After thinking about it for a while, I think it is because my husband dislikes Mei Xiang and refuses to use it? She thought about it and went to the matchmaker's house the next day, wanting to find a good concubine for Master Tang.

If Mei Xiang can't do it, then change it. Anyway, you can't let men learn bad things outside.
