Chapter 928: The Inevitability of Unification
"The world is set to be in one ......"
A few years ago, he asserted from the subtle differences between the Zhao clan and the Zhuqing Tianmu system that the Zhao clan would win the Liuqing melee and eventually replace the Jin state. He was also sensitively aware www.biquge.info that Zhao Wuxian's actions were different from those of the overlords and powerful ministers in the past.
Sure enough, I heard Zhao Wuxian say: "After King Ping moved eastward, the royal road has declined, and the world has ushered in the domineering of the strong man for Uncle Hou, the princes are fighting, and the people are tired." This is the source of frequent wars, because the princes subconsciously want to expand their land and increase their people. ”
"King Wu and King Cheng of the Zhou Dynasty divided more than 100 princes, and later annexed each other, leaving only dozens of them, of which more than 10 were destroyed by Qin, more than 40 by Chu, more than 30 by Jin, and more than 20 by Qi. The current situation is that the king of Jing Wu in the south and the king of Qi and Jin in the north are not hundreds of thousands of people in the size of the territory when they were first sealed in the world, and the people are not hundreds of thousands of people. In the past three hundred years, they have conquered and annexed each other, and the land is vast for thousands of miles, and the people are millions! ”
"From this, can Wuzi see any rules?"
Sun Wudao: "The stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, and there are fewer and fewer states that can stand in the world, nothing more than Zhou, Jin, Chu, Wu, Qi, Qin, Zheng, Song, Lu, Yan, and the rest of the small states are not worth mentioning." ”
"Not bad! When today's general trend is that it must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time! This kind of annexation will eventually lead to the rise of a superpower that will truly dominate the Central Plains. ”
Obviously, the Zhao family is the chosen power, Zhao Wuxian is slaughtering the world, splitting the mountains and rivers, the strong country is subdued, and the weak country is entering the dynasty!
Sun Wu guessed that his ultimate goal was that he would not be satisfied with being a Hou Bo......
The answer is already obvious.
"When there is only one central government and one government left in Kyushu, won't the melee of annexation be over? Therefore, the world will usher in a great unification, six contract winds, and Kyushu coherence! ”
……
What is the great unification? The king was ordered to control the first month of the year to rule the world, so that all things are all enshrined in it, so it is said that the great unification is also!
Sun Wu pondered for a long time, until the chariot drove far, far away, and then he sighed and said, "Great unification, is this Zhao Qing's purpose?" It is really deafening, the old decay has studied the military struggle for half a lifetime, and the vision has risen from the military situation to the terrain, and then to the national situation, but after all, it can not jump out of the trap, until today, I know that the final destination of hundreds of years of chaotic warfare is reunification. ”
"Does the gentleman understand?" Zhao Wuxian was very much looking forward to Sun Wu's reaction.
It's not that he didn't reveal to the people around him his ambition of "leveling the world" and "setting it in one", but others without exception thought that Zhao Qing was going to emulate Qi Huangong's "Nine princes, one Kuang world"!
The times have created people, and the Spring and Autumn Period cannot compare with the frequent exchanges of the Warring States, so that reunification has become the internal consensus of enlightened people. Domination of the world is indeed a solution that no one in this era has thought of, because everyone thinks that it is impossible.
To be an overlord, to respect the king, and to guard the order since the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, this is the top of the vision of the princes of the great powers in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Only King Chu Ling, a madman, once had the ambition of "taking the world", but he immediately lost the throne and died tragically, and his crazy words became a joke, and no one mentioned it again.
But in this day and age, some words can always shake people's hearts.
Seeing the dagger, Sun Wu's mood at this time was probably similar to the moment Qin Shihuang saw the dagger.
He was inexplicably terrified of what was about to appear.
But what followed was excitement and approval.
"Sun Wu only hated that he hadn't heard these words ten years earlier." Sun Wuchang bowed, this time, it was not Zhao Wuxian's status that was respected, but his vision far beyond the times.
Zhao Wuxian laughed: "Ten years ago, the kid was just a Western doctor in Lu State, and Wuzi was afraid that he would think I was arrogant." ”
He was right, it wasn't until recently that the Zhao family had the strength to look at the world.
Sun Wu is a person who can jump out of a corner to see the overall situation, from a strategic point of view, Zhao is like a big bird with wings spread, negative in the sea and in the south, the right arm is based on Taiyuan, the land of the Kaidai, the county, to the Hu raccoon dog; The left arm is based on Lu Guosi, and the east breaks the Wei and Yi countries, and annihilates the Qing clan, and his eyes are staring at the Central Plains, attacking Han Wei and Zhou Zheng.
The times have created people, but at the same time, people are also changing the times, and unconsciously, the momentum of the Zhao family has become a success. In Sun Wu's opinion, this situation is much better than that of Duke Qi Huan, Duke Wen of Jin, and King Chu Zhuang.
But even if the Zhao family is stronger than the princes, what he wants to do is still not easy.
Unconsciously, Sun Wu violated his original intention and began to put himself in the position of the Zhao family to consider the strategy, and he said solemnly: "Zhao Qing can know that the world is set to be one, and it will not be achieved overnight. ”
"I know." Zhao Wuxian knew the cruelty of the unification war, and everything he had done so far was to prepare for that day.
"In the next few decades, I may have to chase the dead to the north, resulting in millions of corpses, so that I can take advantage of the convenience and annex the princes."
But Zhao Wuxian believes that it is worth it, because it is through war that mankind has created a larger, more organized society. Such societies reduce the risk of members of society dying from violence. The rulers of the government take steps to keep the peace, not necessarily out of good intentions, but even inadvertently, with the goal of creating a larger, more peaceful society.
This society is governed by a stronger government, which uses coercive power to ensure peace and lay the foundation for prosperity. To put it simply, "War shapes the nation, and the nation makes peace". While war can be the opposite of constructiveness under certain conditions, turning larger, richer, and safer societies back into smaller, poorer, and more violent societies, the overall trend over the long term is that war makes humanity safer and richer.
This is also the internal reason why China has not been able to get around the cycle of division and reunification for thousands of years.
In other words, a small number of major wars have replaced frequent small wars, a brief severe pain has replaced a lasting small pain, and the "sitting cougues" of the government have replaced the "rogue couges", and the former has done much less damage to the people than the former. It is better to exploit with an efficient bureaucracy than to kill people and sell goods, and whether it is to control floods, dig canals, or open up the living space of civilization, small countries and widows can never do these things, only a strong and vast empire can do them.
Along the way, the two of them never stopped, from the nature of the war to the possibility of reunification, Zhao Wuxian and Sun Wu, one is a "prophet" who can see two thousand five hundred years later, and the other is a master of strategy once in five hundred years, what the world cannot understand, but they can reach a consensus among them. Zhao Wuxian opened a window for Sun Wu to glimpse the general trend of the future, and Sun Wu was able to strategically make these impossible possible.
This conversation in the car is enough to go down in history.
Before they knew it, they had crossed the Su River and arrived in the country of Yi.
Under the spring breeze of Zhusi, Zhao Wuxian was full of spirits, he pointed to the city in front of him and said: "The re-stabilization of the world will start from the country of Yi, although it is inevitable that there will be blood and drifting, but please sir, witness all this for me!" “
"Sun Wu will wait and see!"
Sun Wu no longer felt that the iron armor did not fit, and here he saw new equipment, came into contact with the ambition of a young monarch, and saw the dawn of a new era.
Keep your eyes open and watch it all happen, this is what he can do, and he doesn't know if he will be able to see the end in his lifetime?
He was apprehensive, worried that after the arrival of a new era, everything he was familiar with would be unrecognizable. He was looking forward to unfamiliar challenges, looking forward to seeing new things.
Sun Tzu's ambition, which had been extinguished, began to beat excitedly again, and his art of war urgently needed to be updated......
