Chapter 1467 Representatives of the Two Powers
"In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Guling generation was the sphere of influence of the Yong State, and the Wushan area was the sphere of influence of the Ba State. The two countries had invaded the Chu State for a long time. A serious illness in the country.”
“After King Chuzhuang united Qin and Ba and destroyed Yong, Ba had no choice but to surrender, and only then did Chu have the energy to plan the Central Plains.”
"In the middle of the Warring States Period, the Ba Kingdom's forces retreated to the Fengjie area of Fuling. Wushan has salt springs. Although it belongs to the Ba Kingdom in name, it has always been regarded by the Chu Kingdom as an important resource for itself. It has also been designated as a marginal force by the Chu Kingdom. Scope."
"Marquis Cai reached out to Wushan, and in the end, he was naturally destroyed by King Chu's sent by Jingshe. Marquis Cai himself was captured and returned to Chu State."
"However, after the destruction of Cai, Jing She believed that his position was too high and refused the reward. After that, he completely withdrew from the political stage of Chu."
"However, the Jing family later produced many famous generals, including Jing Que. Jing Cui, Jing Li.”
“The scene is Chu Huai. An important general in the king's period, he had great military exploits and saw through Zhang Yi's plan to destroy the stable alliance between Qi and Chu." Zhou Zhi sighed: "It's a pity that King Huai of Chu, who was deceived by Zhang Yi, didn't trust him and sent him to Xiangcheng. He was attacked by the Qin army and defended the city for dozens of days. He still persisted even after losing his arm. He resisted, but did not wait for reinforcements from King Chu Huai from beginning to end, and eventually died in his fiefdom."
"In this battle, the Qin army defeated the largest Chu army elite that threatened it. The main force totaled 300,000 people. From then on, Chu State became a soft persimmon bullied by the Qin army. . ”
“And Jing Cui was promoted to Zhigui and became an official in the Zhu Kingdom. After Jing Que died in the battle, the Chu State fell into the attack of the allied forces of Qin, Qi, Han and Wei. Jing Cui was promoted to Ling Yin. So he asked Jing Li and Su Li to go to Qin and pretend to surrender to Qin. "
"This approach made Qi uneasy and they did not dare to make too many demands on Chu. Only then did Jing Cui re-alliance with Qi to fight against Qin together and break up the four-nation alliance."
"Jing Li is different from the two of them. He is a diplomat-like figure. He has been responsible for dealing with Qin for a long time. The King of Qin once used him because he was a member of the Chu State. King Huai's great favorite detained him in an attempt to exchange benefits from King Huai, but he was so eloquent that King Qin took the initiative to release him. "
"After King Huai's death, King Xiang was in Qi. The country was taken as a hostage and agreed to Qi to cede the land of 500 miles east of Chu State before he was released and took the throne. After taking the throne, King Xiang asked Jing Li what to do. Do it, Jing Li said, since the king has agreed to the Qi State, we have no choice but to give in, otherwise we will lose our morality in front of the princes. At this time, we cannot protect the East with the strength of our country, and we can only rely on the Qin State. "
"So the King of Chu sent the Lord to surrender to the State of Qi to offer the land, and sent the main war party as Da Sima. To guard the country, he sent Jing Li from the Zongheng faction to Qin to bring reinforcements. "
"The king of Qi was frightened by this posture, so he quickly sent his envoy to Qin to express that he had not annexed the east of Chu. He also sent people to Chu State to express his intention to cancel the previous agreement, and Chu State maintained its territory. ”
"So since the time of King Xuan, the Jing family has become a family that can determine the fate of the Chu Kingdom. If this seal really belongs to Jing She, then this may be Jing She's last fiefdom, or the burial place of the Jing family. ”
“This also explains why the level of this tomb is "Why would he be a young master?" Jiang Tianxi said: "Jingshe is a descendant of King Chu Ping and a noble of the Chu clan, and the shape of the tomb is consistent with his rank and status."
"Although it is still a guess, this is still a guess. Quite confident." Jiang Tianxi laughed at this.
“There is another point that I think is also very important.” Zhou Zhi said: “Regardless of whether this seal really belongs to Jingshe, it at least contains a very important piece of information, that is, the Chu State that guards this place. Nobles may have two identities." He pointed to the seal on the side of the seal: "One is the princes sent by the Chu State, the highest local representatives of the Chu State's military and political powers."
Then he pointed to the pattern at the bottom of the seal with his finger: "One is the leader of the local indigenous religion, the highest representative of theocratic and witchcraft power in the Ba people's settlement."
"It makes sense!" Jiang Tianxi said: "This is a This kind of governance method in which three powers were integrated into one also shows that at that time The social structure and political ecology of the Three Gorges area. ”
“Then this thing is so valuable. Divine power and governance are perfectly reflected in the same artifact. There are not many pre-Qin cultural relics like this?” Jiang Tianxi sighed and shook his head: "If it weren't for Mr. Gu, For the sake of face, I will dig you into our history department no matter what. As soon as I see the seal, I can think of Jingshe, and the point I just made, my reaction is faster than the head of the department like me!"
“The key point was just now when I introduced the Jing family of Chu State to my classmates. At that time, he was able to tell a lot of useful things." Huo Wei praised: "It shows that success is not a fluke, but a real accumulation."
"Why don't you go talk to Mr. Gu? Can I take him to study for a degree in our department?”
"Then I won't do it!" Zhou Zhi resisted: "We are the same generation in the museum, and now I want to be your student, won't I be a lifetime shorter?"
"I am embarrassed to reach out. "Teacher Deng is a sensible person: "Jiuzi's restoration of calligraphy and painting ancient books is also a contribution to our museum. If he is dragged around the archaeological base, Director Yuan is afraid that he will come to piss me off. "< br>
"Teachers... How about we go to dinner first?" Seeing that the matter was over, Li Laosan finally had time to speak: "Everyone hasn't had dinner yet..."
"Oh, it's true!" Jiang Tianxi then remembered that everyone hadn't had dinner yet. It had taken a long time from meeting to now. Although it was summer, it was already dark outside.
"How about Dean Jiang and the two teachers come to our boat?" Li Laosan said: "We invite good cooks..."
"No, I have already made arrangements before to treat the comrades of the foundation to a meal to express my gratitude." Jiang Tianxi smiled and said: "But it's quite late for this matter. I guess the masters are impatient to wait. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria. When you guys come, We have made such a major discovery, so we should treat you to this meal!”
“Mr. Jiang is mainly afraid of wasting time.” Huo Wei smiled and revealed his dean’s background: “We have eaten after dinner. You still have to seize the time to sort out the materials and put together today’s Important discoveries have also been added.”
“We must report it to the school and the cultural protection unit as soon as possible! With this seal, the Chu Tombs in Guling Town can be regarded as a major archaeological discovery this year. Yes!"
"Yeah , In fact, the master craftsmanship of our town middle school is not bad,” Teacher Deng said: “You will know it when you go there.”
The master craftsmanship of our town middle school is indeed good, but greater credit must be given. It belongs to the river fresh food that is abundant here.
