Chapter 880: Zhao Zhongshan's Diplomacy (1)
Ye Qing gave a general introduction to the major event of this invasion of Qin, and also said why he risked being attacked by the Qin Dynasty to report to the Xia Dynasty.
After hearing this, Yi Wang Ji Changshui immediately understood, "So you are looking for my father, getting the power of the crown prince from my father, and then using the position of the prince to tempt me and the prince to send troops, right?" β
Ye Qing nodded: "Yes, among the four kings, if anyone performs the best in Cutting Qin, it is the prince of Great Xia!" β
"Huh!" Yi Wang Ji Changshui sneered for a while, "According to what your envoy said, whoever performs the best in cutting down Qin is not up to you, Zhao Dynasty has the final say, okay, your envoy can go back, His Royal Highness will not participate in cutting Qin!" β
To tell the truth, the righteous king Ji Changshui still wants to participate in the war against Qin, but he has scruples, and this scruple is that if he fights desperately in the war against Qin, loses his troops and loses his generals, and finally the position of the prince falls into the hands of others, he will not regret it.
Ye Qing also understood the scruples of King Yi Ji Changshui, and immediately replied with a smile: "Your Royal Highness King Yi can rest assured, you can guarantee that Da Zhao will be fair and just, and His Royal Highness King Yi may not know that it is!" β
"Participating in the invasion of Qin, not only Great Xia, except for the two dynasties of Yue and Wei, the rest of the dynasties and many vassal states will participate in the invasion of Qin, and at the same time, His Majesty has set up a banquet in the capital of the country of Wujian to entertain the emperors of all countries!"
"My Majesty said that at the banquet, he will mention this matter to the emperors of all countries, and all emperors and their whensies are notaries to ensure fairness and justice, so His Royal Highness the Righteous King should always rest assured, right?"
And what's going on?
Yiwang Ji Changshui's face softened, and he subconsciously asked, "Is this serious?" β
"Seriously!" Ye Qing nodded solemnly and replied, and then added: "For the banquet of the capital of the country, His Majesty has also invited His Royal Highness the Righteous King, and you will be more assured that you will be present at that time, my Great Zhao sincerely invites His Royal Highness the Righteous King to cut down Qin!" β
"Okay, then the king will participate in the war against Qin, I don't know when the banquet of the capital of the endless country will start?" Yiwang Ji Changshui responded directly and did not continue to hesitate.
Ye Qing stood up, leaned over and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Righteous King can set off on the same day, and at the same time, please ask His Royal Highness the Righteous King to announce to the world that His Royal Highness the Righteous King will raise troops to attack Qin!" β
"No problem, this king will send someone to do it immediately!" Yiwang Ji Changshui agreed very happily.
"Haha, then retire first and go down to rest!" Ye Qing leaned over again to make a farewell salute, and with the nod and consent of the righteous king Ji Changshui, Ye Qing quickly left the righteous king's mansion.
After Ye Qing left, Yiwang Ji Changshui immediately summoned his subordinates and told them about participating in the war against Qin and going to the banquet in the country of Wuzhong.
When leaving, the matter of King Yi's attack on Qin was also announced
Han King Ji Changluo, Yi Wang Ji Changshui, two of the four kings have agreed to cut Qin, and now there are only Guangwang Ji Changqian and Zhen Wang Ji Changzhen!
The twenty-seventh year of Shengqin, the fifteenth day of August!
Ji Changzhen, the king of Zhen who was sitting in Yuecheng, also joined the Zhao Dynasty's expedition to Qin under the talk of the Zhao envoy to Xia, and at the same time issued a proclamation and personally went to the capital of Wuzhong to attend a banquet.
Also on the same day, Ji Changqian, the king of Guang, who was sitting in Dongguang City, also joined the Zhao Dynasty's team to attack Qin under the talk of the Zhao envoy to Xia, and also issued a notice to the world, and went to the capital of Wuzhong overnight!
Since Zhao Dan mentioned the strategy of attacking Qin, in less than half a month, he persuaded the military and political circles of the Xia Dynasty and successfully pulled the Xia Dynasty on his chariot.
No wonder the ancients said that if you want to succeed, you must have the right time, place and people.
The reason why the diplomacy of the Zhao Dynasty is so successful now is nothing more than to get the time and the people, the time refers to the Qin Dynasty's 10,000-mile expedition and the tragic victory, the loss of 70,000 elite soldiers plus a general, this is the time of the day, and the people are the Qin Dynasty declared war on Zhao, secretly preparing to attack the Xia Dynasty, and also played the banner of unification of the world.
This made the people of the countries panic, especially the Xia Dynasty, so the Zhao Dynasty relied on these two points to easily tie the Xia Dynasty to their chariots, and then it was up to the rest of the dynasties, if the diplomacy was successful, the Great Qin Dynasty would usher in an unprecedented earth-shattering war!
Zhongshan country!
Zhongshan was once a powerful dynasty, the prestige of the Zhongshan Dynasty, swept the world, the early Qin Dynasty of Huainan County, the Jin Dynasty of Yunjun, the Zhao Dynasty of Yangshuo County, Donggu County, Qi Dynasty of Hanchuan County, Gannan County, are the territory of the Zhongshan Dynasty.
Half of the territory east of Yong'an County and Shahe County of the Qi Dynasty was also the Zhongshan Dynasty, and the Zhongshan Dynasty at that time was the overlord of the northwest of Kyushu, and although its prestige was not as good as the current Great Qin Dynasty, it was also a foot down, and the surrounding countries trembled.
It's a pity that the coup d'Γ©tat and civil strife more than two hundred years ago made this huge dynasty a third-rate dynasty in only ten years, and the territory was divided by Qin, Qi, and Zhao.
The Zhongshan Dynasty became the Zhongshan Kingdom, the land of the nine counties became two counties and twelve counties, and the population changed from seven million at the peak to the current 400,000.
As a result, the Qin Dynasty made a tenth-class peasant lord system and a free school system, which sucked away half of the population of Zhongshan Kingdom, because of the fear that the Qin Dynasty was too strong, one finger could pinch Zhongshan Kingdom to death, so Zhongshan Kingdom did not dare to close the pass, nor did it dare to order the people to enter Qin on the surface, and could only rely on the reason of inventory to restrict the people from entering Qin.
And because of the loss of half of the population, the 50,000 standing troops of Zhongshan had to be disarmed 30,000, and the retrenched soldiers became young and strong, obediently working for Master Shikun to maintain the country's young and strong labor force, leaving only 20,000 caretakers.
In fact, compared with other vassal states, Zhongshan is the largest territory among the vassal states, but the 20,000 watchman army has become a joke in the eyes of the vassal states, which often makes the monarch of Zhongshan angry.
Anger is also dare to be angry, but dare not speak!
The capital of Zhongshan is called Zhongshan City, known as Zhongshan Wangcheng, Zhongshan Dynasty is a royal city with a long history, which has witnessed the strength and decline of a dynasty.
Zhongshan Royal City, Royal Palace, Imperial Study!
In the imperial study, an old man of fifty or sixty years old sat on a lacquered gold king's chair, the old man had white temples, hair like snow, wearing a dark yellow four-clawed python suit, wearing a long crown, and a trace of sorrow between his eyebrows.
