Reforming the military system is what Sima Xiangshe has always advocated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Xiang She believes that the reason why the Song State is now lagging behind other countries is that the Song State is backward militarily. The main reason for the military backwardness is that the appointment of the chief officer of the army is not based on ability but by blood, and the Dai people have too many appointments in the army, and the rest of the princes and commoners are too few, and there is no fairness at all, which is the biggest reason why the Song army's combat effectiveness is not strong. If the Song State wants to be strong, the only way to do it is to abolish the strength of the Dai people in the army, so that all the clans can develop fairly. However, such reforms have always been opposed by the monarch and the prime minister. In the eyes of the Dai people, the basis for their ability to control the entire Song State is that they can control the army of the Song State, if the army is not in their own hands, then can the Song State still be Dai's?

Without waiting for Zixi to speak, Xiang Guole Chengcheng spoke first: "Sima's words are wrong, a country's military system is the foundation of the country, how can it be easily changed?" Besides, we are not going to have a war with Wei Qi now, we are just discussing how to deal with the king of Wei Qi and my Song Kingdom, and Sima Ke should not talk about other things. ”

Seeing that Xiang She was about to speak and quarrel with Le Cheng, although Zixi was expressionless on his face, he was secretly happy in his heart. The Le family's power in the Song Kingdom is too great, and if he is friendly with the Xiang family and the clan behind him, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit firmly as the monarch. So he stopped Xiang She's speech and asked Hua Rong, "I don't know what Hua Qing thinks about this matter?" ”

Hua Rong saw that the monarch had asked a question, so he had to stand up and say: "The minister thinks that if Wei Qi is the king of the two countries, there must be an alliance between Wei and Qi, which is a big disadvantage for my Song Kingdom." Now that our Song country is small and weak, neither of the two countries can be stopped by our country, how can we talk about the union of the two countries? For today's plan, my Song Kingdom can only humble and generous money to do Wei Qi, so as to ensure that my Song Kingdom is safe. But please look at it. ”

Is it another humble coin? Zixi felt a burst of irritability in her heart for no reason. Since he inherited his father's business and Dai took the Song Dynasty, he has not dared to slack off day and night. In the Song Kingdom, he carried out strict reforms and abolished the Jingtian system; Referring to the military reforms of Wei and Chu, he also changed the Song army, which was dominated by chariot soldiers, and refined a large number of foot soldiers. And his most proud move was to dig through the Heshui connecting Heze and Surabaya, so that Surabaya and Jishui were connected, which not only made the Song State's rule over the original Cao State's hometown more stable, but also made Taoqiu rise to become the commercial center of the whole world in one fell swoop. It is no exaggeration to say that since the defeat of the Dai clan and the Song dynasty, the Song state under the Dai clan was much stronger than the original Song state.

However, although the Song State was also getting stronger, the rise of the surrounding countries was even more rapid. Not to mention the Wei State, since the three families were divided, the Wei State has become the overlord of the world with the efforts of three generations. Since the Tian dynasty of Qi, the entire Qi State has been full of vitality, and the country has also risen rapidly, and in recent years, it has even defeated the powerful Wei State twice. Although the Song State also began to become stronger, the Song State had a weak foundation after all, and the Song State was only a second-rate country in the entire Spring and Autumn Period, unlike the Jin State and the Qi State, which were first-class powers in the whole world, even if the Song State was strong, it was only a strong second-rate country, and it did not have the strength to challenge a first-rate country at all.

Zixi sighed, he knew that Hua Rong's words were a good way to govern the country, no matter how insulted he felt as a monarch, no matter how much he didn't like it, in order to maintain the independence of the country, he could only do so, and this was also the sorrow of a small country. He spoke: "What Xiang Qing said is extremely true. . . ”

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a person, "Da Si Kou thinks that my Song Kingdom only has humble words and thick coins to serve Wei Qi, but the kid has a different opinion. The person who spoke was none other than Dai Yan.

Zixi was interrupted before he finished speaking, and he was extremely angry, but he didn't blame his younger brother who liked to make trouble. He asked, "I don't know what Ziyan thinks about the matter of King Wei Qixiang?" ”

"Your Majesty, my brother thinks that King Wei Qixiang is not good for my Song Kingdom, but it may not be without advantages. Lao Tzu said: Misfortune and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk. One thing seems to be full of disadvantages, but as long as we look carefully, there must be something beneficial to us. In the boy's view, Wei Qi is the king of the two countries, and with the strength of Wei and Qi, his matter will be successful, and this matter will definitely become a major event that will affect the political situation of the world in the future. The kid carefully probed the origin of this matter, which was originally caused by the king of Zhou to reprimand Qi Hou; Later, it was proposed by Wei Xianghuishi. However, is the matter of the king advocated by Hui Shi aimed at my Song Kingdom? Absolutely not, the overlord of the Wei State in the world, what he is planning must be the affairs of the world, and my Song State cannot be specifically targeted by the Wei State. Therefore, the original intention of this matter must have been that Hui Shi wanted to get rid of the unfavorable situation that Wei was currently facing, and use it to weaken the powerful Qi state. Qi State, the two wars have caused the national strength of Wei to decline greatly, how can such a great enmity Wei not revenge? Looking at the past, the weakening of the Wei State was actually due to the fact that the Shang Dynasty of the Qin State respected Wei Jun as the king of Wei, so the Wei State was besieged by the princes. Now the State of Qi also wants to covet the throne, and it will inevitably end up the same as the State of Wei. Dai Yan said calmly.

Listening to Dai Yan's analysis, Zixi was extremely surprised. He knows best what his younger brother is, he used to be a trick-or-treater, and the people of Suiyang all changed color when they heard his name. Since he was sealed to Fengyi, Zixi also has the feeling that he has finally gotten rid of big trouble. And after Ziyan was sealed to Fengyi, he also heard many rumors about Fengyi and returned to Suiyang. For example, he was blessed by the gods, and he was immortalized by the thunder of the heavens, and the people of Fengyi called him the descendant of the gods; Another example is that he has dealings with the disciples of the Mo family, and he can accurately measure the land, not missing a penny, etc. In the past, Zixi didn't believe it, and when he heard similar rumors, he just laughed it off. Now that I see Ziyan again, not to mention anything else, at least he is much smarter than before, and he also has a sense of responsibility for the country, which makes Zixi, the eldest brother, very pleased.

"Go on." Zixi said to Dai Yan.

"Yes. If the State of Qi is also the king, then the State of Chu will react the most to this matter. This year, Qi was named Qi Xiang Zou Ji in Xiapi, which is located at the confluence of Yishui and Surabaya, and the original intention of Qi was to collect the people of the East and the Sea to strengthen the Qi State, but he never thought that this move would offend the Chu State. The two countries of Qi and Chu have never bordered each other, and this is the meaning of the wind and cattle of Chu Chengwang. However, once the Qi State stabilized Xiapi, it could go south along Surabaya to the Huai River, which was intolerable to the Chu State, which regarded the Huai River as a forbidden state of the Chu State. Now the State of Qi and the State of Wei are kings, dividing the sphere of influence, our Song State, Huaisi, and the small countries of the East China Sea will all be included in the sphere of influence of the State of Qi, which the State of Chu must not tolerate, and there will be a war between the two countries! King Wei Qi Xiang was really a conspiracy to lead the fire of Chu to burn Qi State. And my Song country is the largest and strongest country in Qi and Chu, and the movement of our country is really important. If I Song helps Qi, Qi will win; If I Song help Chu, Chu will win. This matter is really a great benefit to my Song country, but please check it. Dai Yan said.

"Good, great good." Zixi stood up happily and said. This is the strategy he needs to plan for the country, he has long endured enough of the nest policy of the Three Kingdoms, and now Ziyan's words seem to have opened a door for him, how can he not be happy?

"Since the younger brother thinks that Wei Qi is the king, Qi Chu will inevitably have a battle. And my Song State is very important, do my brother think that my Song Kingdom should help Qi or Chu? Zixi asked again.

Hearing Zixi affectionately call himself a minister, as the king of a country, such an intimate act in front of all the ministers, it seems that he is very satisfied with his speech. Dai Yan was encouraged, his thinking became more and more agile, and he said: "My Song country is a small country, and the side of a small country should be cautious. The younger brother thinks that the current Qi State is thriving, and the Chu State is declining, and in the long run, my Song State should help Qi. ”

"So in this battle of Qi and Chu, my Song State is on the side of Qi State?" Zixi asked again.

"Definitely. I'm just saying that in the long run, my Song State should take refuge in Qi State, but in this war, my Song State should not help Qi, but should help Chu. Dai Yan said again.

What is the truth behind this? I've lived for so long, and I've never heard of this kind of truth. This is Xiang Guo Lecheng's question.

"Xiangguo asked, shouldn't the kid?" Dai Yan gave a deep salute to Le Cheng and said, "This time, the king of Wei Qi divided the sphere of influence, which harmed the interests of my Song State, and my Song State helped Qi at this time, but there was no benefit, so why did my Song State help Qi?" Although the State of Chu has always regarded the Huai River as its forbidden territory and has also invaded our Song State, in this matter, the interests of our Song State and the Chu State are the same. And the kid thinks that if you want Qi to pay attention to our country, you must let Qi see the importance of our Song country, so that Qi will really pay attention to our country in the future. ”

"What Gongzi means is to change the non-alignment pursued by my Song State for many years, and the national policy of the Three Kingdoms? From the minister's point of view, Childe's words are really ridiculous. "This is Hua Rong's interface, "Since our Song State advocated the killing of soldiers, it has always pursued the national policy of non-alignment, so my country has maintained neutrality among other countries, mediated disputes, and has a reputation for neutrality and harmlessness." To the rise of Qi and Wei successively, our country had no choice but to humble the thick currency to Qi Wei, this fact is that the strength of our Song State is not as good as Wei Qi, and the last resort is also. But now the prince wants to change the existing national policy of my Song Kingdom and practice fraud, which is very inappropriate. In the past, Zheng Guo relied on clever tricks to maneuver between the nations, but in the end it was destroyed by Korea; The Ju State relied on the support of the Jin State and was finally destroyed by the Qi State. The strife of the nations depends on their own strength, and if the strength is not enough, but they want to rely on foreign things to make profits, this is the way to their own destruction! But please look at it! In the end, Hua Rong's tone was extremely excited.

The strife of the nations depends on strength, Dai Yan pondered this. This sentence is so right, it seems that I really underestimated Hua Rong. When he heard that Hua Rong had always adhered to the policy of the Song State to serve Wei Qi, Dai Yan's opinion of Hua Rong was that this guy was simply a Qin juniper. However, I have to say that this Hua Rong, as a descendant of Hua Yuan, the former minister of the Song Dynasty, and the mastermind of the Dai family to take the Song Dynasty, how can he be comparable to a traitor like Qin Hui?

Hearing Hua Rong's speech, there was no sound in the court for a while, and Song Junzixi's previous excitement was gone. He looked at Hua Rong and Ziyan separately, not knowing what he was thinking.
