Chapter 136: The Overlord's Exclamation
On the contrary, let's take a look at how the first battle is deployed and calculated:
The Chengpu battlefield, in the south of present-day Shandong, is the loess layer of the impact of the Yellow River, the dust is easy to fly, the first to take advantage of the geographical advantage, with the chariot to drag the branches to run, extremely ingeniously created the smoke bomb effect that we can only complete with high technology, so that the Chu army's vision is not clear, can not accurately judge the battlefield situation; In addition, he also covered the horse with a tiger skin and attacked Chen Caijun by surprise; Later, he ordered Hu Yan to set up two false flags, pretending to retreat, luring the enemy to go deeper, and using the Chinese army as a flank attack; All these tactics, clever calculations, are unprecedented, and those who succeed and defeat are not unjust at all.
In short, in the face of the aggressive Chu State, the first subordinates were carefully subordinated, designed layer by layer, and military and diplomatic two-pronged, step by step to anticipate the enemy first, between the front and back, left and right, the way to and from, the needle fine line, the silk and the seam, all counted one by one; Camouflage, feint retreat, lure the enemy, flank attack, all kinds of strategies, and do everything possible to change the strange changes, especially the use of a variety of psychological warfare to deceive and mislead the enemy, even from the perspective of two or six hundred years later, it also has a lot of reference significance, not to mention the "war as a courtesy" of the Zhou King world, it is tantamount to a burst of brainstorming in the world: it turns out that the battle can still be fought like this!
It's nothing to eat a lot of crabs, but the first person to eat crabs is valuable, such a pioneer, can't it be said that he is the ancestor of the world's soldiers?
The Battle of Chengpu was the largest war in China in the Spring and Autumn Period (the total number of troops dispatched by both sides reached more than 200,000), that is, the survival of the Chinese nation in the Central Plains against the northern invasion of the southern barbarian forces! Assuming that the Jin army was defeated in the Battle of Chengpu, and the forces of Chu could cross the Yellow River to unify all of China, then Chinese history would change completely! After the battle of Chengpu, the Chinese nation since the Duke of Qi Huan reunited around the military alliance headed by the Duke of Wen of Jin, and thus produced the strength to continue to resist the foreign race, since the next hundred years, the Chu State has been unable to annex the Central Plains, and finally under the helm of the King of Chu Zhuang, began to accept the Central Plains culture, and gradually assimilated into the Chinese nation. So far, the Jin Kingdom has been hegemonic for two hundred years.
A war that seems to be described in people's mouths is so complicated when carefully analyzed.
Wei Ziheng, at this time, finally realized what a war strategist is, which is a game and competition in all aspects. The current war is changing more and more, and the rise of the former form and the military family is also destined to undergo a great change in the future war.
Some of the detailed analysis of the Battle of Chengpu looks at the same thing from different angles, and people see different things.
Most people have seen the success of Jin Wengong and his victory, but they don't know what the performance of both sides in the war means.
The generals of both sides have the overall state form, including the characters and psychology, and these things are all involved.
As the master said in the article, this is a huge change, as the exclamation said, can the war be fought like this?
Times are changing, and everyone must change too.
Wei Ziheng, after talking about the past with his old housekeeper, suddenly gradually understood what direction he should work towards, although the war is simple, but the action is extremely complicated.
And how can you use what you've learned to help your family?
Wei Ziheng's heart suddenly sank.
The story of Jin Wengong is still not over.
His glory continues.
In the fifth year of the reign of Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Wen of Jin presented the captives of Chu to King Xiang of Zhou, and Duke Wen of Zheng presided over the ceremony for King Xiang of Zhou. King Xiang of Zhou entertained Duke Wen of Jin with sweet wine and persuaded Duke Wen of Jin to enter the wine. King Xiang of Zhou ordered Wang Zihu to appoint Duke Wen of Jin as the head of the princes, and rewarded him with a chariot, a red bow, a hundred red arrows, ten black bows, a thousand black arrows, a piece of fragrant wine, and three hundred warriors. The Marquis of Jin thanked him many times, and finally accepted the salute. King Xiang of Zhou wrote "The Marquis of Jin Wen", so Jin Wen Gong was the hegemon, and on the day of Guihai, Wang Zihu formed an alliance with the princes in the palace. In June, Duke Wen of Jin restored his status as a marquis, and when the princes surrounded Xu, Duke Wen of Jin restored his status as Cao Bo.
In the winter of the fifth year of Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Wen of Jin summoned the princes on the order of Zhou Tianzi and allied with Duke Zhao of Qi, Duke Cheng of Song, Duke Lu Xu, Marquis of Cai Zhuang, Duke Wen of Zheng, Duke Wei Shuwu and Ju Zi in Jiantu.
In the summer of the sixth year of Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Wen of Jin and Wang Zihu, Duke Sun Gu of Song, Qi Guo Gui Father, Chen Yuantao Tu, and Qin Xiaozi met in Zhai Quan to consolidate the alliance of practicing the land and plot to crusade against Zheng Guo.
In the seventh year of Duke Wen of Jin, in order to prevent the northward advance of Chu State, Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Mu of Qin led troops to surround Zheng State, wanting to get Shu Zhan, the benefactor of Duke Wen of Jin when he was in exile in Zheng State, Shu Zhan committed suicide after hearing about it. Zheng Guoren brought Shuzhan's body to Jin Wengong, but Jin Wengong said: "You must be willing to get Zheng Jun." Zheng Wengong was afraid, so he secretly sent Candle Zhiwu to provoke Qin Mugong, and finally relied on Candle Zhiwu's eloquence to make Qin Mugong withdraw his army, and the Jin State then also withdrew his army.
Although the Jin State did not destroy Zheng, Zheng Wengong no longer dared to be rude to the Jin State.
In the ninth year of Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Zheng Wen died, and Gongzi Lan ascended the throne as Duke Zheng Mu. During his reign, Zheng Mugong was always an important follower of the Jin Kingdom.
In December of the ninth year of Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Wen of Jin died, Gongzi Huan ascended the throne, and he was Duke Xiang of Jin.
This is the end of a generation of heroes, and in just a few years, the hegemony has been pushed to the peak.
The cause of his death is also quite strange, some people suspect that Jin Wengong may have been suffocated in a coffin, others say that he was poisoned, and some people think that it was an old disease that fell from sleeping in the open in the early years.
Whatever? His time is still going to pass after all.
But the hegemony of the Jin State did not weaken there, and his descendants continued his hegemony rulers, the vast lands north of the Central Plains.
Duke Wen of Jin died, but he still left a lot of treasures.
Promote virtuous and virtuous people, and appoint talented people: seal the fox as the prime minister, and the first as the handsome; let Zhao Yuan, Xu Chen, Luan Zhi, Ji Que and others assist him in governing the country; Let Yin Qin and Huo Bo lead the army; Let Jia Tuo and Yangzi make etiquette; Let Wei Li and Xun Bo resist the Rong tribe in the north. Formulate rules for officials, act in accordance with the law, establish ranks, and cultivate virtues. Reward those who have fled with him and all the meritorious officials, and give the great merit to the city, and the small merit to give the title.
Propagating morality and religion in order to cultivate the simple morality of the people, set things right, and use a large number of old clans who were persecuted in the era of Jin Huigong and Jin Huaigong, and the virtuous people with the surname Ji served as internal affairs officials, and the talented people with different surnames served as officials in remote places. The princes received tribute, the doctors collected the taxes of the estates and distributed the fields to the nobles, the common people supported themselves, the officials of commerce and commerce received the salaries, the servants received rations according to their positions, and the retainers took their food from the doctors' fields.
At the same time, on the military side.
With the expansion of the national strength of the Jin State and political needs, the Duke of Wen of the Jin Dynasty continued to reform the military: first, the Second Army of the Jin State was expanded into three armies, with Hegu commanding the Chinese army, Huyan commanding the upper army, and Luan Zhi commanding the lower army. Due to the invasion of the Jin Kingdom by nomads, three lines were established. In the eighth year of Jin Wengong, Jin Wengong abolished three more lines and added a new second army, namely the new army and the new army, which was the fifth army.
In the military of Jin Wengong, he first killed the prince and brought King Yiqin, and during the nine years of his reign, he successively attacked Cao, attacked and defended, defeated Chu, rescued Song, served Zheng, and Wei Qin, and established his position as the overlord in the practice of the land alliance.
national economic aspects.
Taxes are waived, favors are given, prohibitions are abandoned, wealth is given to the few, poverty relief is given, and the property is given to the unemployed. Reduced tariffs, repaired roads, facilitated trade, and relieved the peasants of servitude. Encourage the development of agriculture, promote mutual help, save costs to make resources sufficient. In terms of production, it calls for improving tools, benefiting the people, and rewarding reclamation; In terms of trade, we will reduce taxes and actively strive for neighboring businessmen to enter the country.
Confucius once said: "Qi Huan is just but not righteous, and Jin Wen is just but not righteous." ”
When I talked to Mozi before, I also said something like this: "The former Duke Wen ran away and became the world; Duke Huan went to the country and dominated the princes; King Goujian of Yue met the ugliness of King Wu and still took the virtuous monarch of China. The three sons can achieve fame and success in the world, and they are all in their country or ugly. Taishang is undefeated, and then defeated and succeeded, which is called the use of the people. ”
All in all, each has its own opinions.
For example, the historians of today, we can only write about it, and as for the merits, it will be judged by future generations.
Just like the morning sun, the orange-red radiance emitted by it can only be seen by those who have a heart. It's not that he's not obvious, it's that some people don't want to look up at all.
Wei Ziheng breathed a long sigh of relief, the world was so complicated, and he lamented that what he had learned was too superficial. From the mouth of an old butler full of life experience, it is completely different.
I'm afraid this is life.
What about my life?
