Chapter 230: Broadsword Reform Violent Kite Falls
In order to cultivate the three future warriors Le Yi, Bai Qi, and Lian Po, who had just been recommended by Su Qin from Yan State not long ago, Wei Si also thought of a way, that is, to send all three of them to Hexi and hand them over to Gongsun Xi for training.
After all, in Wei Si's heart, Le Yi had been reused by King Yan in Yan State, and he had experienced many battles in Wei State, but it still took more experience to really fight.
Bai Qi is too young, and he should have more experience, not to mention that there is no war in the Central Plains now.
Although Lian Po is a few years old, he has never fought much after all, so he needs to hone even more.
Although Le Yi felt that King Wei was a little unfair to him, after all, he was not just making his debut, but after several persuasions from Wei Si and Su Qin, Le Yi finally agreed to go to Xihe.
After Wei Si dealt with these feudal affairs, he began to vigorously advocate the cultivation of land and the development of population.
Although there are now nearly 7 million people in Wei (excluding South Korea), the existing fields are very limited, and the land that has been expanded in recent years is all uncultivated land, especially the fertile Chen Cai and Pengcheng, where the flood has been solved, are barren for nearly 100 miles, and they are all overgrown with weeds.
In order to develop these places, Wei Si began to relocate a large number of large families near Daliang, as well as Anyi, Puyang, Yewang and other places, promising heavy profits to let them relocate to these places, open up wasteland, and develop.
These feudal monarchs of Wei Si, except for the special exception of King Han, which is a country of its own, the other feudal monarchs only enjoy the thirty percent of the harvest of the fief where they are located, and the rest are all handed over to the national treasury, and the appointment and dismissal of local officials is not decided by the feudal monarch himself, but by the local county guards and taishou appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, and the feudal monarch only enjoys the appointment and dismissal of people in his own feudal monarch's mansion and the preferential recommendation of fiefdom officials.
Therefore, Wei Hei's policy of sealing the monarch not only benefited the heroes and generals of the court, but also did not give them the possibility of forming a country of their own and splitting the Great Wei.
Then Wei Si re-promulgated the war order, the leisure season, and the natural disaster order.
The Great Wei is still divided into four districts, southeast, northwest and northwest, that is, when the country has a large-scale war, the people in the influential districts where they are located, and the strong men have the obligation to join the army for the country, regardless of the civilians and nobles.
When there is a large-scale war, the tax of the affected district will be reduced by 30% in the current year, and the other districts will have to restore the tax set at the beginning (no longer reduce the three tiers) for implementation.
So that the people of the Great Wei can be balanced, so that both prosperity and loss can be achieved, and the treasury will not be constrained because of the war.
The natural disaster order is that when a natural disaster occurs in the local area, the local tax is exempted in that year, and the neighboring places must rescue the place where the natural disaster occurred, and the loss and loss used in the rescue are offset by the local tax paid in real amounts, and the state will also give additional rewards to the outstanding personnel in disaster relief.
Once these orders are implemented, all localities must strictly abide by them, and those who disobey the orders will be imprisoned and reformed, and those who seriously resist the orders will have their property confiscated and distributed to the party, county, and other places as punishment.
When Wei Si was carrying out another drastic reform, the situation in the Guanzhong area, the hometown of Qin, in the west, changed greatly.
The ancestors of the violent kite have also begun to serve the Korean ancestors since the time of Han Wuzi, and they have served Han for the fifth generation of their own generation.
In fact, it is also to realize its own ambitions and achieve the opportunity to control the entire military and political power of South Korea.
At the beginning, in order not to give Han Wang Cang a way to live, so that the South Korea that he supported could survive, he had already privately sent people to the Chu State to contact the King of Chu and Jing Cui, the chief general of the Chu army.
And the condition is that he hopes that the Chu State will not give the old Han Wangcang a way to live, and he and the new Han Wangcang will be willing to serve the Chu State in the future, so there is a fact that Han Wangcang wanted to take refuge in the future, and was teased and embarrassed by the Chu army, which also led to the defeat of Han Wangcang's army and the capture of Chang Zhengshan.
However, when the storm kite heard that the old Han Wangcang was actually re-established by the Wei state and continued to rule Xinzheng, the storm kite instantly became angry and immediately sent someone to contact the Chu state, hoping to send troops to attack Han Wangcang with him, but the Chu state was plotting the war of Yue at this time, and did not want to offend the Wei state, so he refused the request of the storm kite to attack Zheng.
The storm kite was angry because of this, and at this time, it was the autumn harvest season, and there was a shortage of grain in the Guanzhong area, so the storm kite directly instigated his subordinates to invade the land of Hanzhong in Chu and forcibly cut a large amount of wheat in Chu State.
This incident naturally caused the king of Chu to be furious, and he immediately transferred Tang Yi and Zhuang Ji to crusade against the violent kite.
Storm Kite led the army to fight with the Chu army at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and finally because the difference in strength between the two armies was too great, Storm Kite was forced to flee back to Xianyang.
The Chu army pursued, and soon Xianyang was broken, and the violent kite retreated to Yongcheng.
In a few more days, Yongcheng was in danger again, and the violent kite had to flee to the land of Mianzhu further west with Han Gongzi.
However, when the army of Storm Kite and Han Gongzi fled to Mianzhu, they were jointly sniped by Yiqu, Zhu Liji, and Gan Mao, and the remnants of nearly 10,000 troops of Storm Kite were completely wiped out here.
In desperation, the violent kite carried the Han Wangji who was supported by himself, and jumped to the bottom of the deep valley, and finally the bones were gone.
And the Qin King Yingdang, who had already secretly fled to Shudi, also ordered Li Ji and Gan Mao to join forces with Yiqu to eliminate the violent kite, and immediately marched to Yongcheng, wanting to recover Yongcheng and Xianyang.
Because the Chu army has now shifted its focus to the Yue Kingdom in the east, it has no intention of closing the matter for the time being, so it negotiated with Zhu Liji, returned Yongcheng to it, and set up a new Qin Jun in Xianyang, that is, Qin Gongzi Zhuang, who was captured to Chu before, and wanted him to fight against him in Yongcheng.
After Wei Si learned about the current situation in Qindi, he also asked Chen Zhen and Su Qin to discuss it again.
"Before the late minister Zhang Yi left, he had discussed the affairs of the world with the widows, and formulated the national policy of conquest for the widows first Song Lu, then Qin Han, and then other princes, and now South Korea can no longer afford to make big waves, and although the Qin State has been torn apart by South Korea, it seems to be gaining momentum recently, I don't know what the two Aiqing think?"
Su Qin said first.
"Great King, after the State of Chu defeated the Korean rebels, it did not annex it to the State of Chu, but immediately established Gongzi Zhuang of Qin as the King of Qin, and then ceded Yongcheng to Zhu Liji and others."
"In fact, the Chu State's intention is to let Qin fight in the country, and when the fight is almost over, and finally intervene to win over the hearts of the people in Qin, so that Chu State will be able to completely conquer and occupy the entire Qin land."
Wei Si nodded.
"Yes, the widow also thinks so, if this continues, then the Chu State will become strong again, which is a great threat to my Wei State!"
Su Qin continued.
"The minister thinks that in fact, according to the current strength of the Chu State, even if he occupies the entire Qin State Guanzhong, appeases it, and stabilizes the rule, this is the best policy, but he didn't expect the Chu State to choose the next strategy to let the Qin State fight each other, the minister really can't understand the current Chu State!"
Wei Si asked.
"Why do you say that Ji Zi made Qin fight in the country, and it was the Chu State's strategy?"
Su Qin replied.
"Because the Qin State let the infighting, this is very risky, after all, the people of the Qin State who support the Qin King Win and the Bad Luck are definitely in the majority, and this Gongzi Zhuang is not orthodox after all, but supported by the Chu State, although there are also many people of the Qin State who support it, but they are all dissatisfied with the people who are dissatisfied with the people who tend to be inflammatory, such supporters cannot last long!"
Wei Si couldn't help but say.
"Ji Zi, what do you mean by this, according to this ending, Gongzi Zhuang can't be supported? Then in the end, it will still be the King of Qin who wins and regains the Qin State? ”
Su Qin replied.
"Yes, I believe that it is impossible for the Chu State not to see such an ending, and one of the reasons why it uses this strategy is that the Chu army is afraid that the Chu army is really powerless against the Qin State for the time being, so it temporarily supports Gongzi Zhuang and allows the Qin State to continue to be chaotic."
Wei Si looked at Chen Zhen, who was pondering on the side.
"Chen Qing, do you think what Ji Zi said is right?"
After Chen Zhen reacted back, his expression was a little worried.
"Su Jizi's guess is the same as the minister!"
"However, there is another reason why the minister thinks that the Chu State did not rashly annex the Qin Land, it is very likely that he is afraid of our Wei State!"
"Because after the Chu army entered the Qin land, from Hangu Pass to Huayang, which is more than a hundred miles away, there is actually no Chu army stationed here, and Gongzi Zhuang does not seem to have the intention of sending troops to guard Huayang Pass and Hangu Pass, such an important place is not stationed, it is obvious that the Chu army wants to give these places to our Wei State, or use them as a buffer zone!"
Wei Si also fell into deep thought.
"If my Wei State really sends troops to occupy these places, what will be the result?"
"In case the Chu army gives up these places, does it have other deep meanings, and wants to deceive our Wei army to occupy these places, and once again arouse the resentment of the people of the Qin State against my Wei State, and then help Gongzi Zhuang use my Wei State to stabilize more people's hearts, and then have the strength to prepare for the annexation of all Qin lands by the Chu State?"
Su Qin said suddenly at this time.
"By the way, I remembered, a few days ago, it seems that the envoy of King Yue Wujiang came to Daliang to meet the ministers, and wanted to invite our Wei State to crusade against Qi State together!"
"Could it be that this Yue State crusaded against Qi State was instigated by Chu State, and then Chu State wanted to take advantage of Yue State to attack Qi State by itself? After all, there are also rumors that the Chu army seems to be showing signs of moving eastward. ”
"In this way, it is not difficult to imagine why the State of Chu had no choice but to resort to the State of Qin to give up its strategy of internal fighting!"
Chen Zhen immediately nodded in support.
"Yes, the minister also thought of this, after all, Ru Er discussed the matter of the Chu State with the minister a few days ago, and thought that the Chu State now wants to compete with my Wei State again, so the only way is to destroy the Yue State to the east!"
"And the Yue State has been making frequent moves recently, and he is openly going to crusade against the Qi State, I'm afraid he really wants to give the Chu State a big chance!"
Wei Si also recalled the history books he had read at this time, as if it was the time when the Chu State was about to start the destruction of the Yue State.
"Since the two Aiqing both think that the State of Chu wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the Yue State to attack the Qi Kingdom and want to make a move against the Yue State, how do you think my Great Wei should deal with it?"
