Chapter 658: Guozuo (6)
It has always been very dangerous to put one's own safety on others, let alone pin the continuation of one's country on the support of other countries.
As long as everything involves politics, it is no longer something that can be explained in a few words, and the complexity is far beyond imagination.
Meng Tian's so-called discovery of the enemy's traces was the men and horses of Mao Dun's headquarters, and the Xiongnu elite cavalry was the most active and fierce one.
"Leading them was the eldest prince of the Huns, Mao Dun, although there were only more than 1,700 horsemen, but we found traces many times and arranged encirclement and suppression, and all of them were fled."
"Dare to ask, did the Qin army use the infantry army to encircle and suppress, or?"
"Infantry and cavalry coordination, but to set a trap to lure the Maudun department."
"Oh......"
The people who spoke were Li Liang from Han and Dunshi from Qin.
Dunshi may be relatively unfamiliar to many people, but when it comes to the weak estimate, you can understand. There are not too many records of the sudden weakness in history, but the records in the "Warring States Policy" are enough to explain a lot of problems, it is that he has traveled around the countries, destroyed the alliances of the countries many times, and is famous for his generous shots, almost by throwing money to smash the nobles of the countries to the point that he will have the Qin State break through the countries in ten years. At the same time, the fame of Dun Weak is not only like this, after he arrived in Yan and Zhao, he implemented a counter-strategy to get rid of Zhao General Li Mu. Later, the king of Qi was built into Qin, and the four kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han were all attached to Qin, which was the result of his lobbying.
Perhaps it is the relationship between the family, Dunshi speaks very methodically, in modern adjectives, that is, the words are full of logic, and a few words can explain a relatively complex matter. He is a weak grandchild, compared with the weakness of being a famous family and a vertical and horizontal family, Dunshi is a figure who tends to be a soldier.
Li Liang and other Han generals confirmed the traces of Mao Dun's headquarters with the people on the Qin military side, but Gongwei and Meng Tian did not participate.
The Qin State rapidly rose from prosperity to decline in a few years, but the Han State has risen rapidly in recent years, and people who have reached a certain point will always think in many ways. I want to find a way to be strong.
Meng Tian was the head of the Mengshi family of the Qin State, and he was also one of the people who were valued and reused by both the First Emperor and the Fusu, and he knew very well why the Qin State would quickly rise from prosperity to decline, but he did not understand the rapid rise of the Han Dynasty.
There are too many reasons for the prosperity and decline of the Qin State, and from the perspective of the Gongwei, he does not hide his opinions, so Meng Tian quietly listened to the Gongwei talk about some of his own views and some of the opinions that Lu Zhe once said.
"So, it's because of the lack of credibility, and because the country has been expanded but has not received actual benefits, these two points?" Meng Tian was silent for a moment. Question: "To maintain the credibility of the country, the victory of foreign wars has benefited the head of Qian, and the Han State adhered to such a national policy to become stronger within a few years?" ”
Naturally, it's not that simple, Gongwei said: "There are too many reasons in all aspects, that's just the most basic thing, and ...... more" paused: "Wei is a martial artist, but he doesn't understand so much." ”
From an outsider's point of view, the Qin State has lost the credibility of the state. That is, the repeated squandering of credibility has made the country's distrust of the ruling class, Meng Tian is actually harsh to hear, but he understands that those are all facts, and he knows that it is not good, but he can't change the status quo.
Ultimately. The Qin State is a country that has been established for almost 800 years now, and there are too many vested interests, not only the royal family, but also the large and small nobles are those who have vested interests. When using the benefits that come from the game of national power. A piece of bread is all gnawed clean by these people, and there is no left for the non-powerful Qiantou at all.
"My king once said: When you enlist in the army and become a soldier, you need to fight for your life on the battlefield, and you need to pay taxes to the state for farming and labor. They are the ones who give the most, but they often get the least in return. Gongwei had a look on his face, and he stopped for a long time without speaking, and Meng Tian did not urge. It was only after about a quarter of an hour that he continued: "The small people who have no power naturally have no right to speak, and no one will speak for them, so naturally there is no zài to get dividends from the state, and most of them actually don't realize that part of the country's dividends naturally belong to them. ”
Meng Tian's face changed for a moment, he already fully understood when he heard this, Shengdou Xiaomin had indeed had no right to speak all along, but if they really ignored them because they didn't make any sound, they would also choose to be silent when the country needed it. In this way, a country is de facto divided into two parts, both beneficiaries and non-beneficiators.
In fact, whether it is the Qin State or other countries, they have never thought about such a thing so thoroughly, maybe they have known it for a long time but chose to turn a blind eye, after all, who doesn't want to get more at the moment of interest?
"The class that pays the most, only a very small number of them can become benefit recipients in the process of giving. Those newcomers who become the beneficiaries will immediately be separated from the original group after they become the beneficiaries of the beneficiaries and will carry out an infinite cycle, in which the emergence of batches of vested interests will divide the interests of the whole. The co-lieutenant was simply repeating it, and these were not like the words of a man B.C.: "The state is fundamentally divided into two classes, and no one can avoid such a thing." However, as the ruler of the state, he is not simply responsible to the powerful, the ruler of the country is actually a depository who allocates interests, and he distributes the interests and takes care of the needs of each class. ”
Therefore, even if only a small part is taken out to give back to the leaders at the bottom of the society, while obtaining benefits, a collective will be fundamentally linked, forming a collective that safeguards common interests from top to bottom.
Meng Tian didn't understand so much why Han Wangzhe would change his tricks with every expansion, but now he immediately realized what it was for when he heard Gongwei talk about it. He pondered for a while and asked, "Is it too late for Great Qin to follow the example of the Han State now?" ”
The lieutenant didn't answer, he smiled, just kept smiling. How could he not hear that Meng Tian's words were not so simple? It was clearly a test to see if the Han State would give the Qin State so much time.
In fact, even if the Han State did not think about annexing the Qin State, it was not so easy for the Qin State to make changes, after all, the historical burden of the Qin State and the Han State was not the same at all.
The vested interests of the powerful in the distribution of interests in the Han Kingdom were not deprived too much, and it was Lu Zhe who really took out the interests as a balance.
It is not that the Qin State has not carried out reforms on the distribution of interests to the head of Qian, first there was Meng Xibai San's clan and Wei Ying's death because of the law change, isn't what the "Shang Yang Reform Law" is doing is a redistribution of interests? Only after the success of the change was the rise of the Qin State, but in the end, although Wei Ying succeeded in the change, he could not escape the fate of being torn apart.
Two or three hundred years ago, the Qin State had realized the importance of the distribution of interests and carried out reform of the law, but the Qin State did not understand the true intention of the Shang monarch's reform of the law at all, and only thought that it was a consolidation of the status of the rule of law. To put it bluntly, it is true that Shang Jun wants the rule of law, but what is more important and important is to use interests to drive the head of Qian, so that the head of the head of the Qian is willing to fight for the interests of the powerful.
Lu Zhe's interpretation of Shang Jun's change made Meng Tian stunned when he heard it.
Fortunately, this is not an era when benevolence, righteousness and morality are more important than actual interests, otherwise Lu Zhe would never have said those words even if he was the king of a country. His interpretation of the Shang monarch's reform of the law was no secret in the Han state, and he always emphasized the coexistence of duty and responsibility, and these arguments were highly recognized when they were introduced to the nations, but the Qin state was in a state of silence for a while.
"The world is bustling, all for profit; The soil in the world is all for profit. Meng Tian sighed, and then his eyes couldn't hide his sharpness: "Han Zhu Qin is also in the interests of considerations?" ”
"Except for the Mengshi clan in the Qin Kingdom, the rest of the clans have children who serve under my king." The co-lieutenant did not respond positively.
Meng Tian asked again: "How long can the alliance between Qin and Han last without attacking each other?" ”
"......" Gongwei looked at Meng Tian and looked at it for a long, long time: "Qin and Chu will be allied; Qin allied with the kings of Wei, Han, and Chu; Qin and Qi and Yan covenant alliance; Qin and Qi covenant alliance ......", said several historical events, all of which were Qin betrayed the alliance.
"Really? This is the lack of credit. Those who are untrustworthy will always be abandoned. Meng Tian lowered his head and muttered, and stood up when he raised his head again. He first made a gesture of please, and then took a current step: "General Xu (Yan) sent back a message that Wei and Korea are discussing merging into the Han State to become a feudal state, I don't know if this matter is true or false?" ”
Gongwei also stood up, and what he saw was that Li Liang and other Han generals stopped discussing with the generals on the Qin side, and replied as they walked: "There is such a thing. ”
"So...... The kings of Wei and Han, like the kings of Chu, would become dukes of the Han Kingdom? The land, courtiers, army, etc., were all incorporated into the Han State and owned by the Han king? Meng Tian's voice was deliberately suppressed.
"That was a discussion between Wei and South Korea on their own, and my country did not carry out any guidance." Gongwei didn't understand why Meng Tian would lead the topic to this aspect, and after thinking about it for a while, he truthfully said what he knew: "My king respects the choice of Wei and Han......
Meng Tian interrupted Gongwei's words and asked, "Then if Wei Han hadn't been annexed by the Han State on his own, would Han Wangzhe always let Wei Han Cunzài?" ”
"This ......" How did the co-lieutenant know Lu Zhe's actual thoughts, but he was more inclined that Lu Zhe would definitely swallow Wei Han, but these words were not something that could be said to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian didn't ask any more questions, only said "I understand", and then asked Don Shi how he explained to the Han generals. (To be continued......)
