In late October, the autumn harvest of the entire Liaodi region was over, and the grain harvest in the nine counties of Liaodi was harvested.

Including the newly established two counties of Liaonan and Hancheng, one is that the war ended earlier, and the other is because the Liaodi government adopted a tilt policy after the war.

In the fields of Liaoning and Seoul, active remedial measures have been taken, and a large number of new agricultural tools and fertilizers have been used, and the grain output has exceeded that of the past.

Ji Kang looked at the autumn harvest report handed over by Xin, and his face was full of smiles.

Ji Xin was also very happy, and said to Ji Kang: "Junhou, my Liaodi grain harvest year after year, it can be described as very happy!" ”

Ji Kang looked at the report in his hand with a smile and said to the drama: "The people take food as the sky, and food is not too important to the people and the country. For us in Liaodi, this is even more so. ”

"To grasp agriculture is to focus on grain production. In this regard, we must not slacken our Liaodi, and continue to increase the reclamation of fields, and develop more agricultural tools and fertilizers to ensure that the grain in our Liaodi will increase year by year. ”

Ju Xin nodded, and said to Ji Kang again: "Junhou, since last year, the three northern counties have increased the recruitment of the "savage" tribe. However, many tribes are willing to submit to our Liaodi, but they are unwilling to change my Central Plains surname and learn the customs of our Central Plains. ”

"There are many officials in the three northern counties who suggest that these tribes be given some time to assimilate slowly. Your Majesty, how do you think this problem is handled? ”

Ji Kang stood up and came to the wall where the map was hung. looked at the three northern counties of Liaodi on the map and did not speak.

After a while, Ji Kang turned around and said to Ji Xin: "Order the county officials to arrest those who are unwilling to listen to my Liaodi's proposition, and all the leaders and sacrifices of these tribes will be beheaded; ”

"The people of their tribe who do not want to obey the laws of the government are also beheaded; For the tribes that dare to resist the orders of the government, send troops to exterminate them. ”

"Starting this year, our Liaodi will take a "national oath" for people who have reached the age of 16 or who have submitted to our Liaodi. The oath must include the content of changing one's words, changing one's customs, changing one's clothes, and serving one's loyalty. “

December 15 of each year is designated as the "oath day", and each county is held at the same time. We must not compromise on this issue, this is a use case, and it is eternal. ”

Ju Xin looked at his prince's serious expression, his heart sank, and he bowed and said, "No." ”

In this era, Ji Kang also discussed such a question with many people such as Jun Xiangju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai: Do the current people in China have a concept of the state?

As a result, it was found that the Chinese people now only have a simple and simple national concept, that is, Hu Yizhi's theory. But all the countries of the Central Plains, in fact, there is no country without a country, forming the national concept in Ji Kang's previous life.

Therefore, in the process of restructuring in Liaodi, Ji Kang also deliberately instilled the concept of the country in all aspects.

Lu Zhonglian, who came to Handan, clearly remembered that he and Ji Kang had discussed the two issues of the country and the nation when they were compiling textbooks at Xiangping College, and they still remembered it vividly.

At that time, Lu Zhonglian asked Ji Kang: "Kang'er, what do you think is a country?" What is a nation? ”

Ji Kang replied without hesitation: "Sir, the kid thinks that the country is a country that is composed of the four major parts of the Qian, the territory, the culture and the government, which are united into one, and then it is the country. ”

"The nation, like the Chinese people, has formed its own unique culture, including language, writing, beliefs, admiration, customs, clothing, ornaments, architectural styles, eating habits, taboos, and so on."

"Therefore, my Huaxia clan is divided into Dongyi, Beidi, Nanman, and Xirong, so as to distinguish the difference between my Huaxia and other ethnic groups. But the nation can be transformed, it can be assimilated, that is, it can be nationalized. ”

Lu Zhonglian asked again: "Kang'er, what if some ethnic groups in the national territory do not agree to transformation and assimilation?" ”

Ji Kang just smiled, did not answer the question specifically, but just said, "Sir, you will see later." ”

In Ji Kang's previous life, the country known as the first power in the world actually told people the answer, what is a country?

On the North American continent, that is, what Mr. Zou Yan called Beiyi Prefecture. In Ji Kang's previous life, the white people who ruled that country were not the original people of that land, but the original people were tens of millions of Indians.

As a result, these white people, who flaunted the human rights, democracy, and freedom of the time, came to this land and found that these tens of millions of Indians had their own culture, language, writing, clothing, etc., which were incompatible with them.

At this time, the rulers of this country do not pay attention to human rights, democracy, and freedom, and they just "kill everything" in two words.

The first Commander-in-Chief of the country said to his soldiers: "If waste (referring to the Indians) were put in the vicinity of all the settlements, the whole country would not just be flooded, but destroyed." ”

Then he said to his soldiers: "Do not listen to any advice for peace until all the Indian settlements have been effectively destroyed." ”

And the "Declaration of Independence" admired by the Chinese "public knowledge", the third general of its drafter, because he saw that his British brother only offered a reward for the Indians by scalping, actually blamed his British brothers, and was too good to the Indians.

Say to your soldiers, "Seek to exterminate the Indians, or drive them where we don't go." We're going to kill them all. ”

So the soldiers of this country, after killing the Indians, began to skin from these corpses.

And said complacently: "Peel the skin from the hips down, so that you can make tall boots, or long boots that can be legged together." ”

Subsequently, all the great commanders of the country strictly enforced the policy of exterminating the Indians.

Therefore, the world's first power, decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, exterminated tens of millions of local Indians, how ironic!

In this way, the country still keeps accusing China of being undemocratic, free and human rights.

This country is shameless to the limit of humanity! As one of the country's secretaries of state said, "We lie, we cheat, we steal." This is the glory of our country, which is constantly exploring and enterprising. ”

The people who have moved to this country have to believe in your God, to write your language, to speak your language, to wear your clothes, to celebrate your festivals, to get used to your traditions, and so on.

Otherwise, in this country, you are an outlier!

The corpses of tens of millions of Indians buried deep in the ground are your final destination.

The country has formed a single autocratic system, and then demands that other countries diversify, liberalize, democratize, and humanize.

Let these countries always be in turmoil and war.

But unfortunately, before Ji Kang came to this world, many "public knowledge" in China in his previous life were also instilling national independence and diversity in China.

Ji Kang scoffed!

Our ancestors used thousands of years of experience and experience to tell their descendants: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different." ”

And the so-called world's number one power also interpreted the correctness of this sentence with its own actions.

Therefore, in Ji Kang's previous life, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Taizu did not hesitate to tell the people: "I believe in Marxism-Leninism, but I am also a nationalist!" ”

The same is true for Ji Kang!

November 1, the day of the Zhao Dynasty.

At this time, the information about the loss of the leather prison pass was known to the whole Zhao country. And the news that the Qin soldiers were divided into two ways and attacked Taiyuan City and Wu'an City, and the Zhao State court did not hide it from the people.

The entire Zhao country was in a panic.

Early in the morning, the chief attendant of King Zhao's palace, Mi Xian, who was already in his seventies, knew the significance of this great court meeting for Zhao State.

Regardless of Zhao Dan's opposition, early in the morning, he came to Zhao Dan's dormitory and personally waited for Zhao Wangdan's washing.

When combing Zhao Dan's hair, he found that he was only in his early twenties, and many of the young king's hair had turned white.

Mikhyun couldn't control himself anymore, and tears fell.

When the young king had finished washing, he did not say anything, but shook it gently, and the old man took care of Mixian's right hand.

Then he turned around and walked towards the Dragon Palace Hall of Zhao Kingdom.

The young king of Zhao State, looking at the ministers of His Royal Highness Zhao State, found that Prince Wangjun Leyi, Duping Jun Tiandan all came to the court, that is, even Shangqing Lin Xiangru, who had been sick at home for a long time, also came to participate in this dynasty with the support of the people next to him, and his heart was extremely moved.

Then he said to an attendant beside him: "Come on, give Lin Xiangru, Le Yi, General Tian Dan, take a seat." ”

Lin Xiangru, Le Yi, and Tian Dan hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

After Lin Xiangru and the other three sat down, Zhao Dan looked at His Royal Highness's ministers and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, my Zhao State has lost the Leather Pass, and the 200,000 troops of the Qin State have also reoccupied Shangdang. Now the army of the Qin State is divided into two routes and is coming towards our Zhao State. ”

"All the way, Sima Terrier, the deputy general of the Qin army, led an army of 100,000 troops, and the soldiers invaded my Taiyuan County; On the other hand, there is Wang Ling, the commander of the Qin army, who led the Qin army of 200,000 and is now coming towards my Handan. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any suggestions?"

At this time, Shangqing Lin stood up tremblingly, bowed to Zhao Wangdan and replied:

"King, at this moment, my Zhao State can only fight to the death with the Qin army."

As soon as Lin Xiangru's voice fell, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao, Shangqing Yu Qing and veterans Tian Dan and Le Yi also stood up together.

He hugged his fists and bowed to Zhao Wangdan and said, "What Lord Lin said is extremely true, and the ministers seconded it. ”

Subsequently, all the ministers in the court of the entire Zhao State stood up and said to Zhao Wangdan together: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Dan felt extremely relieved in his heart, and he also stood up from the throne.

Walk slowly towards the temple gate along the stairs of the temple.

When he came to the door of the temple, he looked outside the hall and was speechless.

After a while, Zhao Dan turned around and said loudly to the ministers:

"King Yingji of Qin, if you don't destroy my Zhao Kingdom, you won't be reconciled."

"In the Battle of Changping, my Zhao country suffered a great blow, every household, the mother cried for his son, the son cried for his father, the ancestor cried for his grandson, and he cried for his husband."

"Along the streets, the voices of grief are endless; The dead cannot be received, and the wounded cannot be treated. ”

"This is a widow's fault."

When all the ministers of Zhao State heard this, they bowed down and said to King Zhao: "The ministers are guilty!" ”

Zhao Dan waved his right hand and stopped the ministers' pleas.

Then, he said slowly to the crowd:

"In the future, the widow will meet and ask the ancestors of my Zhao country for their guilt!"

"Self-will, to the heroic souls of the 450,000 soldiers who died in the battle of Changping in my Zhao Kingdom, please blame!"

"Self-will, to the subjects of my Zhao State, please blame!"

Looking at the ministers in the palace, Zhao Dan paused, and continued to say to the ministers: "This time, the Qin army has come to attack my Zhao State again. ”

"This is not to destroy my Zhao State, and the Qin State will not give up!"

Speaking of this, the young king shouted to the ministers of Zhao State: "In this case, my Zhao State can only fight to the death!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they shouted together: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

The voice reached the outside of the hall, and all the soldiers outside the hall also shouted together: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

Subsequently, this voice spread outside the palace, and the entire Handan City shouted: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

Hearing the shouts of the people in Handan City, all the ministers of Zhao State burst into tears.

Ji Kang's uncle, Zhao Wangdan, was already in tears like all the ministers at this moment.

After the Battle of Changping, the strength of Zhao State plummeted.

The following year, the state of Qin came to attack the state of Zhao again. Due to the fact that the main force of the Zhao army was lost in the Battle of Changping. At this time, in the face of the attack of the Qin army, there was no resistance at all, and it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack, so the Qin army drove straight in.

In the face of Qin's large-scale invasion, Zhao's forces that could be used to resist the Qin army were overstretched.

In the thirteenth year of King Wucheng, at the end of October, after a tragic offensive and defensive battle, Taiyuan County of Zhao was lost.

Faced with this situation, Zhao decided to turn the whole army to the defense after discussion according to Liaodi's suggestion.

The Zhao army adopted the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, abandoning the outer cities, concentrating the defenders and food from all over the country, and making every effort to defend the capital Handan.

Under this strategy, the soldiers and civilians of Zhao gave up all the towns that did not need to be held along the border.

During the retreat, everything that could be taken away was taken away, everything that could not be taken was burned, and all the wells along the way were blocked.

At the same time, Zhao began to urgently recruit civilians into the army.

Due to the killing of 450,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping, almost every family in Zhao State at that time lost children, husbands, and fathers, which caused the whole country of Zhao to be full of bitter hatred for Qin.

Therefore, the whole country hated the enemy and swore to defend Handan, the capital of Zhao.

As a result, in just a few months, Zhao Guo assembled an army of about 400,000 people, but most of the troops were elderly people over 40 years old and weak children under 18 years old.

King Zhao appointed Lian Po, a veteran who was over 60 years old, as the commander-in-chief, and Le Cheng as his deputy general.

At the same time, the fortifications of Handan, the capital of Zhao, were urgently strengthened to deal with the siege of Qin.

At the same time as military preparations, Zhao carried out active diplomatic activities, sending a diplomatic mission headed by Yu Xin, the secretary of Shangqing, and Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, to lobby other countries to seek assistance from various countries to Zhao.

Zhao Guo has done everything he can, and the next thing is to stick to the capital.

In the thirteenth year of King Wucheng, the seventh year of King Zhao Xiaocheng, at the end of September.

The 300,000 Qin troops began to attack Zhao in two ways.

100,000 Qin troops on the northern front, under the leadership of the deputy general Sima Terrier, attacked Taiyuan County and pinned down the northern Zhao army to reinforce Handan in the south; The main force of the Qin State, 200,000 Qin troops, under the leadership of the commander Wang Ling, directly attacked the western gateway of Handan, the capital of Zhao, Wu'an.

At the end of October, at the request of Wang Ling, the commander of the Qin army, King Yingji of Qin sent another 100,000 troops to the front line of Zhao.

In early November, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, Wu'an Pass, the last outer barrier, was captured by the Qin army.

Lian Po, a veteran who commanded the war on the front line of Wu'an Pass, led his troops to retreat to Handan.

In mid-November, Qin's 300,000 troops, under the leadership of the commander Wang Ling, came to the city of Handan.

The battle to defend Handan has officially begun!
