Chapter 123 The Wind and Cloud Suddenly Change Xianyang City

The situation is urgent, and I dare not delay in the slightest, although I still don't know the deep meaning of Meng's words, just Meng Shuo's anxious expression is enough to explain the seriousness and urgency of the situation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xianyang City is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the reason why Qin State was able to take the lead in the conquest of various countries, most of them still rely on the outstanding contribution of the secret front, although the envoy of Yingji has entered Xianyang, informed Mi Bazi, and told his overall plan and discarded, but the secret front in the entire Xianyang City is not Mi Bazi's team alone.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the political situation of the Qin State at that time, the Qin State is located in the western border, to the west is the vast desert, continue to the west is the towering mountains, submerged in heavy snow all the year round, to the north is the endless grassland, on the grassland is the fierce and warlike Yiqu people.

One of the important branches of the Qiangrong ethnic group of the Yiqu people, they have lived in the Guyuan grassland and on both sides of Liupan Mountain and Longshan Mountain for generations.

During the Shang Dynasty, the warlike Yiqu people and the descendants of the Di people in the Longdong region continued to kill and beggar-thy-neighbor! At the same time, it continues to encroach on the land of Youguo, and Youguo has to retreat step by step in order to survive, don't look at the Youguo at that time was bullied, and the Youguo was established by the ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

During the Kangding period of the Shang Dynasty, Zhou Zugu's father could no longer bear it, and the Yiqu people and the Di people harassed them all day long, leading their tribes to move south into Qishan. The Rongdi and Di tribes took the opportunity to occupy most of Longdong.

During the period of King Wen of Zhou, the original Youguo has grown into a prince in the west, and King Wen of Zhou was also canonized as the Marquis of Xibo by the Shang Dynasty.

King Wen of Zhou, who has great ambitions, has long had the revolutionary ideal of destroying Shang and Xingzhou, but the Yiqu people behind it, like a hungry wolf behind him, need to be on guard against the Yiqu people at all times, such as mangs on his back, because he involved too many of his own troops, King Wen of Zhou naturally did not have too much energy to pass through the Central Plains.

King Wen of Zhou and Taigong Jiang were clearly aware of this, if their army participated in the battle to destroy the Shang, it would inevitably cause an emptiness in the rear, and would the Yiqu people take advantage of the weakness? In order to avoid the crisis of the two-front battle, Jiang Taigong sent Nangong Shi to envoy Yiqu and take the initiative to befriend the Yiqu people.

There are exchanges between countries to be considered a sale, and between these countries, there is naturally an indispensable exchange of courtesies. The people of Yiqu saw that they had nowhere to hide when they were beaten by themselves, and the Youguo people who moved all day long were already strong at this moment, it was really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi!

It seems that his good days are over. When the king of Yiqu saw such a magnificent procession in the Great Zhou, he thought that he should wash and reincarnate quickly, so as not to be stabbed later.

To the surprise of the Yiqu people, Nangong Shi not only did not mean to take revenge on himself, but also brought a lot of gifts to himself, which was indeed very unexpected.

Most of the countries still have to rely on strength to speak! King Yiqu also understands the rules, seeing Nangong Shi visiting, he did not mean to ask the teacher, and when he left, he naturally gave his horse and rhinoceros to King Wen, which was counted as an apology for the year.

King Wen of Zhou is also very powerful, and he gave these rare objects to the king of Shang to paralyze the Shang Dynasty's vigilance against himself.

At that time, the Di people were not so good at drilling camps, fighting with Yiqu all day long, and the relationship with the Shang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty was not very good, so it naturally became the target of the public, under the joint strangulation of all forces, the Di people were defeated, and had to flee to the world and flee to the Hetao area.

After the end of the war, the Yiqu people took the opportunity to move inward and occupied the Longdong grassland. The land of the Longdong prairie is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, the cattle and sheep have received sufficient forage, and the animal husbandry of the Yiqu people has been unprecedentedly developed.

The development of animal husbandry has provided sufficient food for the Yiqu people, and the population of Yiqu has also increased significantly, and the way of life has gradually settled down from a nomadic state. In the interaction with the Great Zhou, he learned farming techniques, admired the culture of the Great Zhou, and imitated the Great Zhou people to build castle villages.

In the early layout of King Wen of Zhou, in the process of 'reviving the Zhou and destroying the Shang', the Yiqu people did not take advantage of the situation and ensured the success of the entire revolution.

After the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Yiqu people took the lead in surrendering, and the reign of King Mu of Zhou and King Xuan of Zhou used various reasons to crusade against Rongdi and other ethnic minorities, and many times of suppression did not get the expected results, but caused a bad chain reaction. In order to further rule, the Zhou Dynasty changed its strategy of suppression by force, and used pacification methods to settle Wurong (i.e., Yiqu, Yuzhi, Wushi, Shuyan, and Penglu) in the Great Plains.

In Wurong, because Yiqu is the first to follow, it is natural that Yiqu cannot be treated badly, but Yiqu is located in the center of Dayuan, and Jingshui is in the south. It is suitable for farming and animal husbandry, the natural conditions are superior, and the Yiqu soon became strong.

In the year of the Western Weekend, the dog Rong rebelled against Zhou, the soldiers came to the capital of the pickaxe, and killed the king of Yu Lishan, the king of Zhou Ping was afraid of Rong Di, and hurriedly moved the capital to Luoyi. Taking advantage of the turmoil in the Zhou Dynasty, Yiqu announced his independence from the rule of the Zhou Dynasty and officially established the county state.

Soon after the establishment of the Yiqu State, he immediately sent troops to annex Penglu, Yuzhi and other Xirong tribes, expanded the territory, and successively built dozens of cities and sent troops to garrison them. Its national boundary extends to the Xihaigu grassland in the west, Qiaoshan in the east, Hetao in the north, and Jingshui in the south, covering an area of about 100,000 square kilometers.

In the politically turbulent Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it directly participated in the political and military competition between the Central Plains and the Lianheng, especially after more than 400 years of repeated military contests with the strong Qin, and became the main opponent of the Qin State to dominate Xirong at that time.

Mozi? Festival Funeral" said: "There is a righteous canal country in the west of Qin, and his relatives die, gather firewood and burn it, and smoke it is called Dengyao." "Dengyao" means to ascend to the distant horizon, that is, the meaning of the soul ascending to heaven. This is the earliest record of cremation in China, and it is also one of the customs of Yiqu.

In the event of war, young and strong men have to go to the battlefield, resulting in more women than men. Yiqu stipulated that after the twelfth generation of the same clan, they could intermarry with each other, and after the death of the elder brother, the younger brother could marry his sister-in-law. After Yiqu settled on the Longdong Plateau, he began to engage in agriculture and gradually developed into a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral people.

There are a considerable number of officials and soldiers in the court of Qin, and the soldiers are the descendants of the Yiqu people, and the Yiqu people can be said to be pervasive in the court and opposition of the Qin State, from the high-ranking officials and eunuchs to the pawns in the market, most of them are inextricably linked with the Yiqu. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the intermarriage has also made the Yiqu people and the Qin people have a deep blood relationship.

In the court of the Qin State, it plays a pivotal role.

The Yiqu people are strong and brave, and they "take death in battle as auspicious, and end up sick as ominous". Therefore, the battle is very heroic, and he would rather die than give in, which is also one of the important reasons why the Yiqu country can last for hundreds of years. Such a fierce combat force, naturally not everywhere, the oriental countries that are influenced by the civilization of etiquette and music are naturally lacking such sophisticated soldiers, the Qin State since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the implementation of the twenty-level military merit system, for the world to enter the upper class of the channel opened.

Not all Yiqu people can enjoy the treatment of nobles, so like some Orientals, some Yiqu people naturally refused to let go of such an opportunity and enthusiastically entered the Qin army to serve.

Because of their fierceness and fearlessness, the Yiqu people became a key role in the Qin army's troops.

Since the time of Qin Mugong, the Qin State has had a precedent of governing the Qin State with the help of foreign forces.

During the reign of Qin Mugong, he recruited a wide range of wise men and boldly appointed non-national talents, which was the first in the Qin State to appoint guest secretaries.

Baili Xi, Soma expert Bole and Jiufang Gao of the "Five Doctors" have joined his disciples.

Qin Mugong adopted the way of employing people by "getting the essence and forgetting the roughness, and forgetting the inside and outside", so he achieved great success during his reign.

Qin Mugong was reluctant to reuse his country's nobles, because he was afraid that the aristocratic power would be intertwined and the tail would not fall, and the monarch would be restrained by them.

Reuse foreign guests, no matter how great the power of people from other places is, it is limited to him alone, and it is impossible to divide the territory, establish their own power, and threaten the monarch like the wealthy families.

History records that during his reign, he used a strategy to recruit Yu Yu, who defected to the Rong people from the Jin State into his command, and the Qin State gradually destroyed 20 countries established by the Rong people in the west according to Yu Yu's plan, "12 Yiguo, 10,000 miles of land", and the entire vast western region was under his sole control.

Qin Mugong congratulated the victory of the Rong people, and gave the king of Zhou a golden drum, hoping that he would continue to attack the Rong people with a drum, and the king of Zhou Xiang appointed him as the uncle of the western princes, so he dominated Xirong, laying the cornerstone for the future Qin unification of China.

Qin Mugong's concept of governing the Qin State was inherited by later generations, and during the period of Qin Xiaogong, the reason why the Shang Dynasty reform was able to achieve great success, under the premise of conforming to the historical trend, was mostly due to the strong support of Qin Xiaogong.

Even the prince broke the law, in the era of 'not punishing the doctor, not being courteous to the people', Shang Ying resolutely executed the prince's teacher, without Qin Xiaogong's acquiescence, Shang Ying, as a patriot, would never dare to be so presumptuous.

Because of the inheritance of the essence of governance in the Qin Mugong era, foreign forces can always be greatly developed at the right time.

In the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, there are many talents, but between the countries, the upward channel has long been monopolized by the emerging landlord class, and the truly talented common people cannot get the corresponding status. In the world of great contention, where there is blood, there will be contention. These people with lofty ideals are not willing to sink and are running between countries to seek a broad future for themselves.

The emergence of scholars was the inevitable product of economic, cultural and political development to a certain stage at that time, the rapid development of the economy created rich material wealth, created conditions for the mutual conquest of various countries, and the continuous war destroyed the moral binding force of the civilization of etiquette and music, and in a chaotic era, all ideas burst out one after another.

Hundreds of schools of thought, each shining. Because of the Shang Dynasty reform, the overall national strength of the Qin State continued to rise, creating countless jobs for scholars from all over the East State.

The birth of the 'Wei Wushu' made the Wei State take the lead in hegemony, and the Wei State inherited the mantle of the Jin State to a large extent, and continued to play an important role in the exchanges of the Qin State. In the process of continuous marriage, countries are also constantly implanting their own power into each other's countries. Wei relied on its own strong strength to continuously export culture, and Wei's talents also appeared in a steady stream of Qin's court.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, the Wei people have formed an important political force in the Qin State, and the appearance of Zhang Yi, a columnist, is not an exception, but a manifestation of the whole event.

The ministers of Wei have become an undercurrent that affects the political situation of Qin. This undercurrent, if used, can bring unexpected gains to the country.

At the beginning of King Yingdang's ascension to the throne, the eastern states wanted to take advantage of the state of Qin's national mourning to attack the Qin state on a large scale.

The extremely sharp and powerful King Wu of Qin, such a drastic thunderbolt method, has long made the forces of all parties unhappy, and the seemingly calm and normal court has already been a dark tide surging.

All forces are not eating dry food, they all have their own intelligence systems, and they are collecting different information about the situation of the entire Qin State. And betrayed his information to the countries of the East.

In the preparation period of the rebellion, Bashu sent Chen Zhuang and his wife to run around, wanting to contact all forces, although they did not get any support, but the news of the Bashu rebellion had already surged in this undercurrent, and all parties were also paying close attention to this operation, wanting to get some benefits in this operation. Not to be outdone, the eastern countries sent spies to Qin one after another, intending to find out the direction of Qin's actions on this matter.

What's more, they have already activated their internal lines, so many people, so many activities, it is impossible to be seamless! The slightest omission can lead to a change in the situation.

Qu Ling came to the ancient style restaurant, and saw that there was nothing unusual everywhere, walking quickly into the restaurant, and then entering the backyard, going up to the second floor, and coming to the outside of the samurai's room!

Bang knocked on the door, the warriors inside, very alert, quickly showed the Wu hook in their hands, and the warriors led by him were even more vigilant, waving their hands to signal the warriors to hide behind the door, and then walked to the door, asking as he walked:

"Who? Can I help you? ”

"It's me, hurry up and open the door!" Qu Ling shouted quietly outside.

The warrior heard that it was Qu Ling's voice, so he relieved himself, quickly opened the door and said:

"What do you have to say, why did you suddenly come here today?" The samurai at the head asked.

"Don't ask! Hurry up and pack your things! Get out of here! Qu Ling commanded.

All the warriors were stunned, but after thinking about it, they understood that these people were originally placed in the eyes of various countries, and they were extremely sensitive to wind and grass, let alone this kind of thing.

Without waiting for Qu Ling to finish speaking, they packed up their things one after another. In the blink of an eye, he packed up and followed Qu Ling and ran out of the city.

Coming out of the city, he walked to a no-man's land, and the samurai led by him opened his mouth and asked:

"Childe! Why is there such a hurry? ”

"I don't know what's going on, big brother just told me to arrange for you to go out of the city and stop staying in the city! As for the reason, I don't know! Qu Ling said.

"Could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed?" The samurai at the head asked anxiously. (To be continued.) )
