Chapter 296: Venerable King Destroys Qin
Under Zhao Xing's vigorous promotion of his own concept without any restraints, the Tang Kingdom, that is, the Tang Dynasty, developed at a rapid pace, and in just three years, industrial products have begun to be marketed all over the world (Zhou Dynasty princes). Especially salt and iron, because the quality of iron is better and the price of salt is cheaper, it broke the economy of Qi that had been monopolized for hundreds of years, weakened Qi and enriched the Tang Dynasty.
And agriculture, on the basis of Qin Mo's law, has realized a comprehensive iron farm tool, so that the grain in the Hetao area can feed the population of the entire Tang Dynasty.
The mint and the four customs clearances have made Datang's wealth rolling, and Tang money has become the real hard currency of the world, and Datang has quietly pinched the world's economic lifeline into its hands.
There is money and materials, and more importantly, there is the spirit of the whole country, and Zhao Xing's army construction has also been completed.
Now, Zhao Xing has a real professional army, with 100,000 cavalry composed of Lou annoying people, 100,000 infantry composed of Zhou people, and the Poxi army has reached a terrifying 20,000.
And the equipment, under the guidance of Zhao Xing and the perfection of the Hundred Techniques Palace, is even more technically higher. For example, although gunpowder cannot be produced in large quantities due to raw material problems, it can already be equipped on a small scale, and since then, there is no unbreakable fortified city in the world.
And the appearance of fire oil bombs made a qualitative leap in Zhao Xing's siege ability.
The emerging and energetic Tang Dynasty is culturally and technologically advanced, and has naturally become the leader of the vassal states of this era, the representative of the trend, and with the huge numismatic penetration, the whole world is now proud of being able to speak Tang Yayin. Scholars and officials all over the world feel superior to others for speaking the authentic Tang Dynasty language. The reason why the Northeast dialect has become the common language of the Tang Dynasty and even the world in later generations is because our monarch was the authentic Northeast silver before the crossing.
The government is harmonious, the soldiers are full of food, and the impact is profound. Everything is ready, and the time is ripe to start a war against Qiang Qin, seize the entire Hetao, and seize his own Hexi fiefdom, that is, Qin's Shangjun.
This year is the fifteenth year of Zhao Yong, the third year of the Tang Dynasty, the first year of King Wu of Qin, and the fifth year of King Zhou's "extension".
King Zhou Xun was the longest reigning king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and he was also the most tragic king of the Zhou Dynasty, because he organized the five thousand royal divisions of Zhou Tianzi, including strong women, to launch the final attack on Qiang Qin, which was a truly tragic crusade against the subordinate princes of the world for the sake of face.
King Wu of Qin was an extremely sharp monarch in Chinese history, heavy on military force and warlike, and had the ambition to conquer the Central Plains. Soon after ascending the throne, he intended to attack Korea and destroy the Zhou Dynasty.
Yiyang, a major military town in South Korea, is the most important barrier for Zhou and Korea to block Qin's eastward advance, if the Qin army wants to send troops to Guguan, attack the Kwantung princes, and destroy the Zhou Dynasty, it must first control this place in order to ensure the smooth flow of materials and soldiers.
King Wu of Qin first wanted to enter the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to try to raise Zhou Ding, and ordered the right prime minister, Yu Liji, to lead a hundred military vehicles to the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to test the reaction of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Sternly rejected by the king of Zhou, he was furious and expelled the king of Zhou from the palace and forcibly moved to the "Western Zhou" (that is, the royal city). demoted a co-owner of the world who was still at the level of a county magistrate to a township chief again.
At that time, the Qin State had already captured many parts of Korea and Wei State, and it was now necessary to clean up the Zhou Dynasty next. Zhou Tianzi Ji Yan lived in worry. At this time, the state of Chu wanted to curb the expansion of Qin's power, and sent an envoy to ask Ji Yan to order all countries to cooperate in attacking Qin in the name of the Son of Heaven. Ji Yan was overjoyed and ordered the Western Zhou Dynasty to raise an army of five or six thousand people, but there was a lack of weapons and food. Ji Yan borrowed military funds from Zhao Xing, paid them the coupons, and promised to repay them with the spoils of war on the day of the Zhou army's division.
Zhou's envoy arrived in Zhao Xing's Tang Kingdom, and Zhao Xing was angry: "What a kid from Qin State, he actually wants to destroy my world's co-lord Zhou's room, and this is worth it." Then he had a high-minded attitude that he didn't care about himself: "Come on, blast Zhou Tianzi's envoy out, and let him Zhou Tianzi fend for himself." ”
In the face of such a lofty reason, Xu Jie was the first to stand up against it, and now Xu Jie has been officially named Jiuyuan Jun by Zhao Xing, that is, he can get one-third of the tax revenue of ten thousand households in Jiuyuan City every year, and he is the first ten thousand households in the real Tang Kingdom.
Especially when the tide rises, his left minister is really above 10,000 people under one person, except for Yin Qide's high esteem, he doesn't dare to contradict it, even Zhao Xing is right.
Because after he realized his long-cherished wish to become a nobleman, his ambition was higher, he wanted to be a prince, he had to fight unremittingly for this, and he had to resolutely stop Zhao Xing's erroneous idea of protecting the world's co-ruler Zhou. Because in his opinion, only when Zhao Xing becomes the co-master of the world can he achieve his new goals and ambitions.
In order to realize his ambitions, Xu Jie did not hesitate to betray his monarch, so he raised an opposing opinion: "Unifying the world is our established policy, and the Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed, but now it is not good for us to let the co-lord of the world perish." ”
Zhao Xing wondered: "Why?" ”
Xu Jie made a sincere suggestion: "Because we must be a good person, a kind person, and cannot become the target of the public." ”
Zhao Xing understood, because Xu Jie was right, although Zhou Tianzi had been discarded by everyone like a rag, his reputation was still there, in this era of emphasizing statement and morality, it was not impossible to commit the following crimes, but it was entirely possible for other hypocrites to find an excuse to crusade together.
"Therefore, whoever destroys the Zhou Chamber now is equivalent to becoming the only excuse for the princes of the world to suppress the rise of the Qin State. Zhou Tianzi should die, the Zhou Dynasty should have perished. But for the sake of fame, we must not be the first to do it. Now that King Qin Wu has come out, we just can't ask for it. Let's raise the banner of justice for the Zhou royal family, unite those princes who still have the royal family in their hearts, and jointly destroy the Qin State, this is what we should do. ”
Zhao Xing smiled, relieved that his help was a friend's bad thing.
Eight hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty, the world is the master, still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, such as the Lu State, the Song State, for example, South Korea and Britain (not the United Kingdom) Although they are all small countries that are struggling to survive, they still have a certain strength together, when the Qin State is about to destroy Zhou Tianzi, they will play this big banner, that is, it is justified, then it will be supported by these small countries, because they know that without the banner of Zhou Tianzi, there will be no chance for them to survive.
Zhao Xing said to Xu Jie: "The left minister is blunt, deafening, if I don't listen to the words of the left minister, I will be misguided by the country." ”
Xu Jie thinks, yes.
Zhao Xing ordered "to send envoys to Zhou Yuan, promising to respond to Zhou Tianzi's call to crusade against Qin, send 200,000 troops, and attack Qin." Send envoys to Korea to help Korea keep their only contact with Shangdang County, Yiyang, send envoys to Zhao, Yan, Qi, Wei, and Chu to tell them the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, we will send troops together, Xingzun Wang will attack Qin, and we will destroy Qin together. ”
For such a decision, all the ministers bowed together and congratulated: "The king is wise. ”
