Chapter 024: Insight in a Carriage

The 10,000 real soldiers brought by the Xianggang, and the more than 4,000 family soldiers who came over from Chengcheng, are ready to attack Princess Jie's territory and cut off its foundation.

Everyone is about to travel far away, and Zhao Wuji, who is these retainers, and the original three hundred Junqiu warriors are about to follow the lord out of the mountains and towards the strange outside world of Boyun. They said goodbye to their families, not sad, let alone tragic, but only joyful and excited.

This time is different from the previous conquests, this time is to protect the new monarch to succeed to the throne, once the succession is successful, everyone can more or less get an official position, not only to glorify the ancestors, but also to get benefits - that is, scholars, scholars will no longer pay food, that is to say, from now on, the output of their own family will be their own, as long as they exert their strength, they will no longer be worried about hunger.

And this time the head of the family has shown his benevolence. For example, he has just announced that the more than fifty brothers who died in battle will be pardoned for five years of taxes (forced labor and taxes) after he officially succeeded them as feudal lords, and the men in the family will also be exempted from taxes for three years as a pension.

and those who are wounded and crippled shall be pardoned for three years.

This is something that has never happened before, this is something that has never been done before. From this, everyone firmly believed that their lord, that is, the head of the family, was a kind and generous man, and it was worth dying for him. A person's death in exchange for a few years of happiness and prosperity for a family is the concept of the Chinese people, that is, the later Chinese, the concept of family.

Zhao Wujian entrusted his wife and children to a relative's house, and at the same time, there was also the precious pottery stove that was ready for children and grandchildren to enjoy forever. Alone in their own household, tigers and wolves haunt the yard at any time, and there is no way for a woman and child to survive for more than three days.

For the person who was asked to take care of him, he happily accepted the commission, not because Zhao Wujian was already a retainer of the head of the family and had a high status, but because of the simple folk customs, in their opinion, entrusting his wife and sending his son was the greatest trust, which was a matter of course.

Singing the song of the Book of Songs, he once again replenished the three hundred soldiers of Junqiu, and followed Zhao Xing to embark on the vigorous battlefield of hegemony and unification.

Gongzijie's father is Zhao Yong's uncle, the son of the previous generation, raised. He didn't have the opportunity to participate in the peace when he fought for the throne last time, so he was considered an honest man, so he was treated favorably by the former monarch and the current monarch, and his original fief outside Jinyang was tripled. Jinyang is in the south of the Shanxi Basin in later generations, which is very suitable for farming. Therefore, after more than ten years of conscientious management, there are now 10,000 households, 20,000 Dingkou (middle-aged men), and 100,000 people. In the event of a conquest, two divisions of 20,000 people and 200 chariots could be dispatched, which belonged to a large feudal monarch at that time, and could be compared with a small vassal state.

"Ambition swells with the growth of strength, with such strength, according to Zhao Guo's habit of not paying attention to rules, sooner or later it will be a big disaster." Zhao Xing, who was sitting on Zhao Yong's right, said to Zhao Yong, who was sitting in the middle.

This is not to relieve him and make him feel guilty about his uncle's actions, but to talk about the hidden dangers of Zhao Guo now.

Fei Yi, who was sitting on his left hand, sighed at Zhao Xing's foresight: "Mr. is right. Although I, Zhao Guo, implemented the county system, and the county officials rotated alternately. However, the implementation is not complete, and the original feudal fiefdom still exists. They paid only a small symbolic tribute each year, and most of it remained in their hands. This not only caused huge losses to the country, but also continued to grow their ambitions, and eventually became a cancer scourge. ”

Zhao Yong, who was squeezed in the middle by the honorable, shook his body with difficulty, hoping to occupy more space, so that he could sit more comfortably: "But at the beginning, Confucius implemented the strategy of degrading the three capitals in the Lu State to restore the weak clan of Zhou Lixing and strengthen the monarchy, not only did not succeed, but set himself on fire, which has to be careful." "Does this kid know a lot?

Zhao Xing pursed his lips and twisted his body a few times, hoping that he could occupy a larger space and make himself sit more comfortably: "Confucius Sandu, in fact, Confucius was selfish in the incident of Sandu, he fought for a position, and the one he argued about was the official system. That is, Si Kou is in charge of the affairs of the capital. Second, when the emperor was in power, how much power did the monarch and the doctor have? There is also the question of juriers. At that time, Sanheng also borrowed the hand of Confucius to do his own thing. In other words, Confucius was self-righteous, and the monarch hoped to succeed, but he was used as a gun by Sanheng. ”

As soon as Zhao Xing said this, Zhao Yong humbly asked for advice, and Fei Yi was thoughtful.

Zhao Xing continued to say his opinions according to what he knew: "Zilu is the chief minister of the Ji family, and he is a retainer for the Ji Sun family, where does he have the right to demolish the capital of Sanhuan?" At that time, Ji Sun was the ruling secretary of the Lu State, and Sanhuan divided the army of the Lu State. Confucius said this to Lu Dinggong, and then sent Zilu to Sanhuan to carry out demolition, but Sanhuan did not react at all, which is unrealistic. ”

Confucius talked about etiquette, and always paid attention to Wang Hua's etiquette to convince people, believing that as it was three hundred years ago, a big war would not be fought as it is now, but that the two sides would send leaders to face each other in front of each other, and first explain to each other the reasons for the war. Whoever occupies the reason (reason) will win, and everyone will come with the army vigorously, and they can go back vigorously.

But what era is this? Reasoning? People have big fists, why do you obey your bullshit? The truth is within the range of the bow and arrow, and this is the truth now.

As a result, I was convinced that the teacher was infallible, so I went to the forced demolition with a mouth, and it was successful at the beginning, and I have to say that there is a greasy thing in it.

"I speculate that in fact, the Shusun clan and the Ji clan in the three huans advocate the capital of the capital, and the capital is good for them. Because not only Lu Jun can't control them, but the tail can't be dropped. They also can't govern their own retainers, and they can't get rid of them either. For example, Ji's Yang Tiger, as well as Gongshan Buhu, uncle and grandson. ”

Fei Yi thought it was true, and there were such signs in his own home, so he felt it even more empathetic.

"Through the capital is actually to fight the power of these doctors' retainers, you see that because of the demolition of the fee, the public mountain is not ruthless, and the uncle and grandson are handsome and the people are attacking Lu, they rebelled. But Sanhuan tied Lu Guo and them together through the capital, and if something happened, Lu Dinggong and Confucius had to cooperate with Sanhuan to solve these people. As a result, Gongshan was not ruthless, his uncle and grandson failed, and he went out to Qi State, and Sanhuan solved the problem of not falling off the tail. ”

"Mr. saw it thoroughly, at that time, after Sanheng solved the problem of his retainers with the help of the monarch, he immediately refused to be demolished. Yes, that's a good word. Of course, Lu Dinggong didn't do it, and began to crusade against them, but was defeated by Sanhuan together. Confucius became a scapegoat and offended Sanhuan. Eventually, Confucius was forced to flee. ”

Zhao Xing extended the story, and said meaningfully to Zhao Yong, in fact, to help Fei Yi: "Confucius is the great secretary, and he is in charge of justice." Even if he proposed to Lu Dinggong that the three capitals exceeded the regulations, it was wrong and within his authority, but where did he have the right to directly send Zilu to the three capitals? This is called ultra vires. ”
