Chapter 30: Mandate of Heaven

Raw materials, craftsmen, standards, weapons, economy, laws, ......, the four countries are running wild on the road to domination. Xiong Jing's original idea was to lead the state of Chu and introduce all the kingdoms of the world to the sea, opening the Age of Discovery. The Huaxia of 30 million people is enough to flood the whole world, and at that time, it can be divided like the Western Zhou Dynasty and take the whole world into the bag.

Chu State does not want anything else, North America is fine, then agriculture, animal husbandry, and industry are all excellent places, and the most important thing is that the strategic location is extremely superior. Xiong Jing is a geographical determinist, geography determines the military in the short term, and customs and folk nature in the long term.

Mackinder's 'Whoever rules Eastern Europe controls the heartland; Whoever rules the Heartland controls the World Island; Whoever rules the world island controls the whole world', which is theoretically infallible, but in practice it is a complete failure. Both Russia and the Soviet Union once controlled Eastern Europe and ruled the heartland, but he failed to control the World Island; Hitler also wanted to dominate the Heartland and thus control the World Island, but he also failed.

On the contrary, Britain and the United States, which believe in the supremacy of sea power, have provoked civil strife on the world island by controlling the periphery of the world island from the great voyage started by the two teeth to the 21 st century, and finally controlled the whole world. Some people once said that this is actually a crab strategy, the big crab of the United States uses two clamps to clamp the Eurasian continent, and then sits back and enjoys the food - the-stirring stick Britain maintains the balance of power in Europe and does not let any country dominate; Japan lent arms to Cai Ye during World War I, 'striking a blow at the support of the enemy' in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and striking at the Guo army in the later stage of the Anti-Japanese War, all with the aim of making Yuan Shikai and Chang Kaishen unable to unify the East Asian continent.

Past history clearly proves that it is not feasible to try to control the world with land power, and even if it does, the reign will be very short-lived; Only by basing ourselves on the Americas, which are beyond the island of the world, can we control the world for a long time and effortlessly.

However, this is just the beautiful fantasy of a nautical avid who loves big sailing. The gears of history have advanced to this moment, or the Mandate of Heaven has decided: the East Asian continent must be unified. You will, unify; If you don't want to, it's unity.

The Quadruple Alliance is the best example of thisβ€”before the unification of Qin, the Quadruple was about to achieve or had already achieved the unification of currency, transportation (rails), weights and measures, writing (Feixunxunwen), and the unification of economics, finance, trade, law, and even military systems.

A person who hoped to maintain the multinational system, preserve the nobility of the six countries, and then start a great voyage to divide the world, the first major thing he did after ascending the throne was to lead to the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, and the second major thing he did was to establish a unified economy in the four countries and carry out a small 'unification' within the four countries. This has to be said to be a bitter irony, and at the same time it seems to prove once again that as long as the Mandate of Heaven is prescribed, all that those who oppose it strenuously, everything they do to oppose it is precisely the Mandate of Heaven itself.

Xiong Jing wandered around the shipyard all morning, and he was very satisfied with the results of the discussions between the four countries in Linzi. Because this will make the four countries truly united. This is what he wants, and only this form of unity can ensure the intimacy and unity of the four countries. He was complacent, and he had no idea that he had become an 'unconscious tool of history'.

When he wanted to continue to have lunch in the shipyard, Zhao Yu, the former guard, was embarrassed and said: "Tell the king, when I came, the queen mother had already said that the king must return to the palace before lunch." ”

The grounding order proposed by Kong Qian is real, and now Xiong Jing has to ask Concubine Zhao for instructions every time he leaves the palace. And the executors are the two swordsmen, Zhao Yu and Zhao Yu. Xiong Jing restrained his smile when he heard this, and replied "I know", and then he looked at Gong Yijian and the others who kept the meal, and said, "I will do what I say." ”

Xiong Jing said that Gong Yijian and others had written it down, and he knew why the king was grounded, so he only replied: "The ministers respect the king's orders." ”

"Remember! The boat is the lifeblood of my Great Chu. Xiong Jing solemnly told everyone, and then left the Purple Mountain Shipyard in the winged warboat, and when the warboat left the port, he remembered that he did not go to worship the general Jingyang who was buried in the north of the Purple Mountain.

"The minister thought that Yu Yan's clan could not be stuffed into Qin." In the Great Sima Mansion, Li Mu's heartfelt fox infant frankly stated his opinion, "Yu Yan's stuffed into Qin, the road is far away." There are many people in Henan Dirong, and tens of thousands of cavalry troops are crossing here, and the Qin people will be vigilant.

Qin Mugong had to be from the Yu, Xirong Eight Kingdoms were subordinated to Qin, from the west of Long, there are Mianzhu, Qirong, Zhai, and Qi, Liangshan, Jing, and Qizhi's north of Yiqu, Dali, Wushi, and Shuyan. Yiqu, Dali, and Wushi died early in Qin, and although Yan Yan did not die, he was also a subordinate of Qin. In the past, King Qin Hui patrolled the northern river realm, and the Rong of Yan Yan offered five-legged cattle, and the Qiangrong of the river meandered to offer thousands of horses. Jun and others insisted on the Yan clan to enter Qin, and the Qin people would ambush our army. ”

The fox baby is Li Mu's heart. 'There will be seventy-two people with humeral wings', and the most important of the seventy-two is the heart. According to Xiong Jing's understanding, this hinterheart should be the chief of staff or chief of general staff in later generations, who is responsible for the formulation of all battle plans, and the generals only need to select and implement the battle plans. The military tradition of the Zhao army has a long history, but the Chu army, especially the current Chu army, is a bit like a grass platform team, and the military academy pays attention to the training of front-line officers, but neglects the training of staff officers.

After the fox baby arrived in Yingdu, the most asked by the Great Sima Mansion was the battle of Yi'an. In the Battle of Yi'an, the 150,000 Zhao army defeated the 250,000 Qin army, killing the Qin general Meng Wu, including the subsequent battle, killing a total of 180,000 Qin troops. How the campaign was planned and executed, Li He and others were the most curious.

However, the fox baby traveled more than 2,000 miles to Ying, not to show off his military exploits, he only came to attack Qin with the four countries. After reading the introduction of the plan to attack Qin formulated based on the information obtained by Lu Gao and Lu Xuan, he was completely opposed. Things were the same as he imagined, the people of Chu did not know the Hu people at all, and if they acted according to their plan, the result would inevitably be annihilation.

"What do you think?" Li glanced back at Xiong Jing, Xiang Yan and others, and then turned to ask the fox baby.

"When Yu Shangjun enters Qin." The fox baby said without hesitation. He was a fat round man with small, dark eyes, and he looked left and right as he spoke, and he could see the reactions of everyone present.

"However, the Qin army has occupied Yunzhong County." It was Sima Tianzong, the Great of Qi State, who was an important country in the Four-Nation Alliance, so he naturally needed to participate in the discussion of the plan to attack Qin.

"The Qin army has indeed occupied Yunzhong, but can you know the geometry of Yunzhong County? How to device? "Qiang Qi led 100,000 Qin troops to attack Zhao from the north road, and soon pulled out Yunzhong County, which Fox Ying did not deny.

"I don't know." Not to mention Tian Zong, even Lu Gao and Lu Xuan, who have been to Biansai, don't know the geography and situation of Yunzhong County.

"Wu Anbo defeated Mengwu, in order to carry out this strategy, he has now led his troops back north to recapture Yunzhong." The categorical words came out of the fox baby's mouth, and there was no momentum, and everyone was still stunned when they heard it.

"If the Qin State pulls it out again, what if?" Xiang Yan immediately asked.

"Then Zhao Jun will take it again." The fox baby was a little excited, and the flesh on his face trembled. "And it doesn't matter whether Yunzhong County is in the hands of the Zhao army or in the hands of the Qin army, what is more important is whether there is grain and straw here. The army attacked Qin, but because of the food to the enemy. And the battle in the clouds is endless, and Xianyang will not worry too much about the clouds, and the clouds are more than a thousand miles away from Xianyang.

Shangjun is the land of Qin, and the army entered Qin when cutting millet, and the grain was safe. The Qin road is wide, and if there are enough chariots and horses, the army can travel hundreds of miles in a day. You can get to Xianyang within 15 days......"

Previously, everyone listened very carefully, and as soon as they said 'the army can travel a hundred miles a day', whether it was Xiong Jing, Xiang Yan, or Tian Zong, they couldn't help but shake their heads. Attacking Qin can only be cavalry, the purpose is to attack on a large scale, it is best to kill Zhao Zheng, and if you can't kill Zhao Zheng, you don't want to force it. And the meaning of the fox baby sounded like a cavalry foot soldier attacking together.

From Zhao Guo's point of view, this is naturally reasonable. The more troops sent out and the more severe the blow, the more likely it is that the Qin State will retreat, and the symbolic attack of the cavalry will not have any impact on the battle situation.

"The state of Chu only produces cavalry." Xiang Yan emphasized. "The knights of this county are willing to cut down Qin, and they have nothing to do with the Chu State."

"The Qi State only produces cavalry." Tian Zong then said: "Five thousand cavalry generals will raise the banner of the Zhao army and fight. ”

"Wei sent two thousand horsemen." Li He was very clear about the situation in Wei and helped Cai Wen say a word. "Also raise the banner of the Zhao army and fight."

"Thirty thousand rides won't help." The fox baby smiled bitterly. He knew that the Three Kingdoms did not have the intention of attacking Qin together, and it was because of this that he tried his best to persuade the countries to send foot soldiers. "Rather than this, it is better not to attack. You can only attack Qin once, and you can attack Qin people again. ”

"This matter is not up to Zhao Guo's decision." Xiong Jing spoke, "This matter is decided by the two countries of Chu and Qi. If Zhao Jun is unwilling, he can not attack Qin. ”

Xiong Jing's words made Tian Zong nod frequently. Although the four countries are allies, there are still superior and inferior, Chu and Qi are the decision-makers, and Wei and Zhao can only passively accept it. The fox baby's smile was even more astringent, "I don't know what is the benefit of attacking Qin with 10,000 four-wheeled vehicles, 60,000 horses, and 30,000 cavalry?" The cavalry is the best at attacking and disturbing, not good at field warfare, if the Qin people guard the city and do not come out, what can they do to attack Qin? Only foot soldiers can attack the city, how can they attack people if they don't attack the city, and how can they weaken Qin if they don't attack people? ”

"Your so-called attacking ......," Xiong Jing smiled. Do you want to slaughter the Qin people? ”

"How can you weaken Qin if you don't slaughter all the Qin people?" The fox baby's wry smile turned into surprise, "A few years ago, the Mengwu invaded, and they didn't slaughter the Chu people?" ”

Xiong Jing's eyes darkened when the fox baby said, and he said again: "When the minister of Zhao Guo heard it, the king once said that those who are benevolent and righteous will die in the country." Today, the king seems to disagree with the words of his ministers. What's evil? Today, if the Qin State does not attack the Chu State, the king has forgotten the evil of the Qin people in the past? ”

"The cavalry went out to attack Qin and had nothing to do with attacking people." Xiong Jing did not say that he was in favor of the slaughter, nor did he say that he was against the slaughter. "The Three Kingdoms can only send cavalry to attack Qin, if Wu Anbo is unwilling, he can't do this."

"In this way, all countries will perish in Qin." The fox baby sighed again, regretting that he couldn't convince Xiong Jing, and even more sorry for the five Kwantung countries.
