Chapter Seventy-Four: The Qin State Increases Its Troops
Xianyang, King Qin's Palace, upper study.
King Qin Zhao, who has always been diligent in government, did not deal with official business today, but was chatting with Fan Sui. This is extremely rare for the diligent King Qin Zhao.
King Qin Zhao did not wear a royal robe or a crown, but a regular dress, kneeling on a short table, with a cup of tea in front of him, and a smile on his face, like the uncle next door.
Fan Sui sat on his knees, his expression was leisurely and extremely relaxed. Fan Sui's diligence is not under King Qin Zhao, so leisurely, it is really rare.
"Prime Minister, state affairs are complicated, and it is very hard work, and it is rare to have a little leisure, so let's talk well." King Qin Zhao had a smile on his face and said, "Just say it when you think of it, don't squeak and keep silent." ”
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, my Fan Sui is nicknamed 'Poisonous Tongue', and I don't have any other skills, but my three-inch incorruptible tongue is extremely good, and I have to say what I can't say, and I have to say what I can say." Fan Sui said with a smile.
Fan Sui spoke harshly and harshly, which made people unbearable, because he got the nickname of "poisonous tongue".
"Huh!" King Qin Zhao chuckled and said, "So good, very good!" In the battle of Handan, the Zhao people desperately resisted, which was thought-provoking. It stands to reason that Daqin is politically clear, the country has no affiliation, one countryman, no distinction between high and low, one with the same law, the people live and work in peace and contentment, eat well, dress warmly, and yearn for the people of Shandong. Every year, tens of thousands of Shandong refugees enter Qin, and more than 100,000 refugees enter Qin. In a famine year, the people of Shandong who fled to Daqin were even more, sometimes no less than four or five hundred thousand. ”
Speaking of this, after a slight pause, a pair of white eyebrows twisted tightly, forming a Sichuan character, and his voice turned low, and said: "If Daqin captures Handan, the Zhao people will have a good life." No longer have to be oppressed by the aristocracy. No more underfed and unfed. Why did Zhao people rather die and resist desperately? ”
This question, since receiving the military report, King Qin Zhao has been thinking about it, but the more he thinks about it, the more confused he becomes.
Although the land of Shandong was to denounce the Qin State as a "tiger wolf" and "cruel and unkind", however, in all fairness, the Qin State represented an advanced feudal system. There were no slaves in the Qin State, all of them were free people. Moreover, Qin's law is strict, regardless of whether it is high or low, it must be the same law, even princes and grandsons have no privileges, and they cannot be high.
This has long spread throughout Shandong, and a large number of refugees flee into Qin every year. In a year of disaster and famine. There were even more people from Shandong who fled to Qin, because Qin had a great attraction to them.
It stands to reason. The Qin state has such an advantage, the Zhao people should "open the door to accept the king's division", and they should surrender to the Qin army. However, the Zhao people resisted desperately, and the Zhao people would rather die than surrender, which made King Qin Zhao really unable to understand.
"This matter, the minister is also thinking about it, although he has a little shallow opinion, but it is not as sharp and far-sighted as the words of the son of the other." Fan Sui nodded slightly.
"Inhuman?" King Qin Zhao was surprised and said, "How did he say it?" ”
A pair of eyes stared at Fan Sui, for fear of missing a detail. To this day, King Qin Zhao attaches great importance to Qin Yiren and pays great attention to his words and deeds.
"After the Handan military report came, the minister ordered someone to investigate the situation of the battle of Handan, and unexpectedly learned that the son of a stranger had a statement." Fan Sui's eyes flashed, and he said: "There are two main reasons why the Yiren son thinks that the situation of the Battle of Handan was caused. ”
"Which two?" King Qin Zhao was quite anxious.
"First, Great Qin is not ready to dominate the world, and the battle of Handan is too hasty." Fan Sui tapped his hands lightly and exclaimed: "This statement is extremely reasonable. ”
"The prime minister's words are exaggerated, and there is a little bit of reason." King Qin Zhao waved his right hand lightly, and his eyes narrowed together with a smile.
He said that he only had a little bit of reason, but looking at his appearance, he was very reasonable, very reasonable. As a grandfather, how can you not be proud of your grandson?
"According to the expectations of the widows, the Changping War should be postponed for about ten years." King Qin Zhao's brows tightened, and he said: "Zhao State is the strongest Warring States in Shandong, with strong national strength and good fighting, which is the biggest obstacle to Great Qin's eastward advance. If Great Qin wants to dominate the world, he must defeat the Zhao State, and the widow knows that the Qin-Zhao war is inevitable. In order to give Great Qin more advantages in this inevitable war, the widow was determined to take the land of Shangdang, and took advantage of the high terrain of Shangdang and the convenience of overwhelming Handan to oppress the Zhao State. For this reason, the widow showed favor to Zhao State, ordered Yiren to enter Zhao as a hostage, and took the opportunity to attack South Korea, first take South Korea Shangdang, and then try Zhao Guo to join the party. The plan of the widow was hidden from the people of the world, but he did not hide it from Feng Ting, he accidentally disturbed the situation, and the Changping War broke out in advance. ”
The Battle of Changping was the largest and most tragic battle in China's history, with the two warring sides committing millions of troops to fight, which was the first time in Chinese history.
The impact was far-reaching, as Qin eliminated its only rival, Zhao, and laid a solid foundation for the unification of China.
However, the outbreak of the Changping War was unexpected by the Qin State, and it happened when the Qin State was not ready, which was the result of Feng Ting's disturbance.
As soon as the Battle of Changping was won, King Qin Zhao's ambition swelled, thinking that Zhao was within reach, thinking that Zhao was vulnerable, ignoring the general trend of the world at that time, he insisted on going his own way and forced the Qin army to fight, which eventually led to the defeat of Qin State again and again, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers lost, and finally even Meng Yu was killed.
"The Changping War broke out ahead of schedule, and Daqin was not ready to dominate the world, it was too hasty." King Qin Zhao, as the promoter of the Changping War, knew very well why the Changping War broke out, and he was very much in favor of Qin's unification of the world.
Speaking of this, the words turned around and said: "However, the situation is different, the Changping War is defeated, the Zhao State is weak, it is the time to destroy Zhao, the widow will never miss such a good opportunity, and Zhao must be destroyed." ”
In the Battle of Changping, the Qin State was victorious, the Zhao State was weak, and it was not impossible to destroy Zhao.
Of course, this is only the military conditions that are ripe, and as for the political conditions, they are far from mature.
"The son of Yiren believes that the Zhao people are stubborn and unwilling to surrender to Great Qin, because Zhou Tianzi is not destroyed, there is a master in the world, and there is no one heart in the world, and the Zhao people do not recognize Great Qin, which is the second reason." Fan Sui stared at King Qin Zhao and said slowly, "What do you think?" ”
“……”
King Qin Zhao's mouth was open for a long time, and he didn't say anything.
This reason is too unexpected, King Qin Zhao may have thought about it. But I don't think much about it. It didn't even attract his attention. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"That's." After being stunned for a while, King Qin Zhao looked at him with a sneering expression: "The erector is vain." Didn't Zhou Tianzi just cower in Luoyang? The land is only one county, how can it stop Daqin from dominating the world? This is the Warring States, the Warring States Force, everything should be subject to the Force, what is the royal road to the Mandate of Heaven, this is all Confucian pedantic. ”
Since King Zhou Ping moved east to Luoyang. The Zhou room is getting worse and worse year by year, and it is becoming more and more decaying. In the Spring and Autumn Period, although Zhou Tianzi could not rule the world, there were still five tyrants who came out to respect the king, and no one dared to offend Zhou Tianzi. If someone offends Zhou Tianzi, he will be attacked by the people of the world.
In the Warring States Period, everything changed, and Zhou Tianzi's influence became more and more, which can be said to be minimal, and there were not many Zhou Tianzi. There are a lot of Zhou Tianzi, looking at the world. No one takes Zhou Tianzi in their eyes.
It is not easy to get King Qin Zhao, a monarch who is high above and looks down on the world, to pay attention to Zhou Tianzi.
"Your Majesty, but the minister thinks that the words of the alien son are reasonable, and they are extremely reasonable." Fan Sui agreed.
"Prime Minister, don't confuse the nonsense of strangers, this kid has always been good at confusing people." King Qin Zhao still despised Qin Yiren.
"Your Majesty, listen to your ministers." Fan Sui waved his hand to stop King Qin Zhao from talking, and said: "Although the Zhou family is weak, it is orthodox, occupying the righteousness and the fame, and no one dares to go against it. Not to mention anything else, in the Warring States Period, 'the countries have won the championship', and they all want to take Jiuding as their own, but no one dares to really act. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said: "In the hundred years of the Warring States Period, only the martial king of Great Qin entered Luoyang to win the crown, but the martial king broke his shin and died, and after that, no one dared to win the throne again." Why? Orthodoxy also! Righteousness too! The name too! ”
"The nations have won the crown" is a very famous saying that has been passed down through the ages. The countries are just asking, but no one dares to get Jiuding away, why? There is something jealous in my heart.
Why are the nations jealous? Zhou Tianzi is the Son of Heaven, the co-master of the world, orthodox, occupies the name, and occupies the righteousness. This thing can't be seen or touched, but it makes people dare not move.
Of course, not all people dared to act, but King Wu of Qin, who was known for his bravery, dared to act, brought people into Luoyang, and wanted to transport Jiuding back to Xianyang. However, he died with his head broken. Since then, no one dares to fight the idea of Jiuding anymore.
"According to what he said, Daqin has to destroy Zhou first?" King Qin Zhao's white head shook like a rattle, with a look of disdain, and said, "The vertical is talking nonsense!" Run off at the mouth! ”
Fan Sui opened his mouth, and wanted to say more, but saw Huan Xing come in quickly, and said, "Your Excellency, Handan Military News." ”
"Okay, finally there's good news." King Qin Zhao had a smile on his face, snatched the military newspaper, and unfolded it with a smile, his smile froze on his face, and his face was in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Fan Sui knew that something was wrong.
"Impossible! How can you be defeated? Suddenly, King Qin Zhao roared like a wounded beast, his eyes were round, and his eyeballs were about to fall.
"Defeated?" Fan Sui was also surprised.
The Qin army implemented the strategy of attacking the heart, and the results were good, and there was great progress, and it only took a while to win the hearts of the Zhao people, and it was not a problem to occupy Handan. Even if the Qin army is not good, it is impossible to be defeated, this is too believable.
"Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji, you have ruined the widow and the big thing! The widow will not spare you! Suddenly, King Qin Zhao roared again, like thunder, almost lifting the roof of the palace.
"Xinling-kun?" Fan Sui was confused again.
The Qin State was defeated and had a Mao relationship with Xinling Jun.
"Look." King Qin Zhao handed the military report to Fan Sui.
Fan Sui snatched it over, and when he browsed, his mouth opened wide and his face was shocked.
What wind and waves hasn't Fan Sui experienced? It's too hard for him to be shocked. However, Xinling Jun stole talismans, killed Jin Cong, and forcibly seized the Wei army, which was so appalling that he had to be shocked.
"Xinling-kun is so bold! The general of a country said kill and kill! Appalling! King Qin Zhao and Fan Sui shouted in unison, and the surprise on their faces increased by a few points.
General, under one person and above ten thousand, how can he say that he will kill? Even if the king of a country wants to kill the general, he has to go to great lengths, and he can't be like Xinlingjun, who simply asks for it and kills it.
"No, Daqin has to increase his troops!" King Qin Zhao frowned, like a sharp sword out of the sheath. (To be continued.) )
