Chapter IV: Planning (II)
In the map room in the Military Aircraft Pavilion, when Rong Yan talked about the Chu State, he shook his head and said to Ji Kang:
"Your Majesty, the capital of a country, cannot be easily moved, otherwise it will shake the foundation of the country. The capital of Chu was forced to move many times. The minister doesn't know, how to maintain the morale of the people of Chu State? ”
"The current state of Chu, within a few years, has successively annexed small states such as Lu and Fei, and it seems that it has never lost its status as a great power in the south. However, in the opinion of the ministers, the state of Chu has actually been in the name of strong Chu, and it is far from being able to compete with our Yan State and even the Qin State. ”
Everyone in the room was embarrassed after listening to Rong Yan's above words.
Especially for Ji Kang, he was very emotional, and he was vigilant.
No matter how big a country's territory is, how large its population is, and how good its army is.
But in the face of external pressure, they dare not rise up to deal with it. Instead, it will be evasive and evasive again and again, and if it continues like this, it will inevitably shake the morale of the people of the country and the country will inevitably decline, as Rong Yi just said.
This is the case in the current state of Chu, and in Ji Kang's previous life, the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are even more so.
The baton in Rong Yan's hand, at this time, has focused on the place where the Qin State is located on the map.
"Qin is located in the western border of the Central Plains, originally a small country in the Guanzhong region, after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin State and the Central Plains vassal states, far more backward than the Central Plains vassal states."
At that time, when various countries dominated the Central Plains and the alliance competed for power, the Qin State was often rejected and repeatedly humiliated. However, the Qin State, since Qin Xiaogong, has made great efforts to govern the country, appointed Shang Yang to reform the law, and like my Yan State, abolished the old slave owner aristocratic privileges and the Shiqing Shilu system, and gradually established a centralized system, and the national strength gradually strengthened. ”
When Rong Yan said this, Ji Kang smiled and said to everyone in the room:
"It cannot be denied that the current system of my Yan State is to learn from the system of the Qin State, and on top of this, take its essence and abandon the dross, and establish it. The Qin State has made great contributions to my Yan Kingdom. ”
Everyone in the room laughed when they heard Ji Kang say this.
Ji Kang also said: "If any country wants to become strong, it must constantly keep pace with the times, work hard, and learn from the strengths of other countries. ”
"You can't keep saying that the law of the ancestors cannot be violated, and the first king once said how it is. No one is perfect, and no one can do fault. Since ancient times, the three emperors and five emperors, saints and sages, have not been right in everything. The same is true even for the widows. ”
"When I was a widow in Liaodi, I once said that everything I did in Yan Kingdom was right or wrong, and it must be tested by practical results. The results of practice are beneficial to our Yan country, then what we are doing is right, and we should stick to it. ”
"The results of practice are not good for our Yan country, it proves that what we are doing is wrong, and we must find ways to improve or perfect. You must not insist on what is wrong just because the widow has said something. For such practices, the widow does not take it. ”
Everyone in the room, seeing Ji Kang like this, all stood up together, bowed down to Ji Kang and said, "My king Shengming." ”
The prime minister said even louder: "My king is so enlightened, it is really the blessing of my Yan country and the blessing of the people of my Yan country." The minister is here, congratulating for my king and my Yan country. ”
When everyone saw that Jiang Qu Lao'er had such a hand again, the depression in their hearts could be imagined.
People are quick to respond, and everyone is helpless.
Didn't you see that the young king of his own family had a "flower" on his face at this time!
Everyone still had to follow, and said to Ji Kang together: "Congratulations for my king!" Congratulations for my Yan Guo! ”
Ji Kang waved his hand and said to everyone: "Zhongqing doesn't have to be like this, the widow also has a feeling, all the secretaries sit down, General Rongyi, you also drink saliva, and continue to talk to the widow and Zhongqing." ”
Rong Yi bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Thank you, my king." ”
From the attendant Ling Wang took the water cup from his hand, drank two sips of tea, and Rong Yi pointed the baton at the Qin State on the map.
"Your Majesty, the current Qin State implements "rewarding military merits and teaching farming warfare" internally, and externally fights against the vassal states of the Central Plains. This year, King Yingji of Qin masterminded and attacked our Yan country across various countries, which is a clear proof. ”
"Under the continuous efforts of the previous kings of the Qin State, the Qin State merged Hanzhong and Bashu in the south, and destroyed Yiqu and Longxi in the north. Since the vast area of Bashu has been owned by Qin, Qin's national strength has become more and more prosperous. ”
"Especially since King Yingji of Qin ascended the throne, the Qin State has accelerated the pace of conquering all countries in the world. Bai Qi, the general of Qin, led his army to attack Ying, the capital of Chu, and defeated the allied forces of Zhao and Wei in Huayang, and annihilated the Zhao army in Changping. ”
"Although it is said that after the defeat of the Qin State in the Battle of Handan, the army led by the Qin State General Zhao Yi was defeated by our Yan State this year, but the large areas of rivers and mountains in the Central Plains are almost still under the control of the Qin State, and they are actually the great enemy of our Yan State to unify the Central Plains."
Rong Yan said this, and looked at the people in the room.
When he found his own king and all the people in the room, his faces were solemn.
Rong Yan pursed his mouth, turned around again, and pointed the baton in his hand at the neighbor of Yan State, Zhao State.
"Zhao is located in the north of the Central Plains, with a radius of more than 2,000 miles, and it is also a powerful country in the north of the Central Plains. During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, he advocated Hufu cavalry and archery, reformed politics, enriched the country and strengthened the army, and the national momentum was revitalized. ”
"Zhao resisted the Xiongnu in the north and strong Qin in the south, and before the rise of our Yan State, it became a country that could compete with Qin. However, after the death of King Wuling of Zhao in the Dune Rebellion, Zhao was repeatedly attacked by Qin soldiers. ”
"The current Zhao Wangdan is mediocre and incompetent, and in the Battle of Changping, he refused to appoint his own good general, Lian Po, and even listened to slanderous rumors and deposed him, resulting in the defeat of Zhao and the decline of national strength."
"After the Battle of Handan, Zhao was supposed to recuperate and restore its national strength. However, after repelling the invasion of Qin, he was so desperate that Le Yi and Qingshe led the army to attack Luoyi, and they were defeated again. ”
"What is very annoying is that Zhao Wang Dan disregarded the friendship between my Yan and Zhao, and attacked our Yan country this year, almost causing hundreds of thousands of troops in my front line to fall into danger."
Rong Yan said this, knocked the Zhao State on the map with the wooden stick in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, everyone, my Yan Kingdom wants to unify the Central Plains, and Zhao Country is the country that my Yan Kingdom will conquer first in the coming year."
After Rong Yan spoke, everyone in the room applauded.
Ji Kang clasped his palms with both hands and praised Rong Yan's speech.
After Rong Yan returned to his seat, Ji Kang got up and walked to the Tianxia map in front of the wall.
After looking at it for a moment, beside the map of the world, the young king walked slowly and said:
"After ten years, my Yan country has spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to complete this map of the world. This map of the world is not for viewing, but for the territory that my Yan Kingdom needs to be included in at the moment. ”
"General Rong Yi just now, his analysis of the countries in the world is very good, and the few people agree with it. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. This is the situation in all countries of the world. So what is the current situation of my Yan Kingdom? ”
When everyone heard this, they all pricked up their ears to see what their own king thought of the current Yan Kingdom.
Ji Kang's voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"When my Yan Kingdom was founded, it was still a very weak country. Shanrong, Guzhu, and Lingzhi, including the current Xiongnu, Donghu and other nomadic countries, have repeatedly invaded our Yan country. During the period of the ancestor Yanhuan Marquis, he was even forced to move the capital to Linyi (now Rongcheng, Hebei) to avoid the invasion of nomadic countries such as Shanrong. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Kang's voice was a little agitated.
"But the ancestors and people of my Yan Kingdom did not give in. They have not forgotten the promise made to the Son of Heaven to guard the northern frontier of the Central Plains. They rose up and fought and fell from the pool of blood and rose from the pool of blood. ”
"For hundreds of years, the Shanrong, Guzhu, Lingzhi and other countries that once invaded my Yan country have been completely wiped out by our Yan country; My Yan country has expanded thousands of miles from the hands of the Xiongnu and Donghu. ”
"By the time of King Xianzhao, my Yan country worked hard, the territory expanded, the national strength became stronger, the territory reached Liaodong in the north, the upper valley in the west, and the border with Qi and Zhao in the south, and also rose in the Central Plains."
Ji Kang stopped, paused, and continued:
"But it's a pity that after the death of the ancestor King Zhao, my Yan Kingdom declined rapidly. Tiandan returned to the country, and our Yan army was defeated. But my Yan country has not been decadent because of this, since the king's grandfather King Wucheng, until the reign of the king's father, my Yan country has cultivated and rested, and the east has been Fuyu and Jiguo; North expansion of Xingdong, Xing'an, Heihe and other counties, the national strength gradually recovered. ”
This can only be said by Ji Kang, and the other courtiers of the Yan Kingdom dare not comment on this.
"Since the widow ascended the throne, he did not dare to forget the aspirations of the previous kings for a day. The year before last, he went south to destroy Qi and accepted its territory in the territory of my Yan country; It also fought with the countries of this year to regain the territory of the land. ”
"Today, the territory of my Yan country spans thousands of miles from east to west, thousands of miles from north to south, and has nearly 20 million people. It can be said that the national strength of our Yan country alone is equivalent to the sum of the countries of the Central Plains. ”
When everyone in the room heard this, their faces flushed and they were excited.
The young king, looking up at the window, thought for a moment, and said to the people:
"After the decline of the Zhou Chamber, the world has been in turmoil for a long time! The people of the Central Plains all hope that they will be reunited under the Holy Lord. The general trend of unification of the world is irreversible. An incomparably powerful unified empire is about to emerge in the shadow of swords and swords. ”
"Since this year, our Yan Kingdom has defeated the successive moves of the Central Plains countries, and the general trend of the world has been owned by our Yan Kingdom. At present, my Yan country is stable, and the people are rich; The army is well-equipped and its combat power is proud of all countries. ”
"And the countries of the Central Plains, after this year's war, have all shown a trend of decay, and only I, Yan, am strong. There is no longer any reason for the widow not to unify the Central Plains. ”
"As far as few people know, just this year, the Xiongnu, the country of the northern steppe, have annexed the country of the tribes such as Lingding in the northern part of the steppe, and the territory has reached Lake Baikal and other places. Now, the Xiongnu's troops are pointing to small countries such as Loulan in the Western Regions. ”
When he said this, Ji Kang's tone was unusually categorical: "Zhongqing, the widow must not allow it, in the north of my Central Plains, the emergence of a unified country will never be allowed!" ”
