Chapter 7: Rewarding the Meritorious Heroes (I)
Human nature is selfish, when the Qin State was strong, the countries of Shandong joined forces to resist the Qin, and all they wanted was the word "profit". For Han Zhaowei, it was to regain the lost territory. As far as Qi and Yan are concerned, what they want is just a weak Qin, and if Qin is weak, they can't threaten themselves, and they can develop with peace of mind.
In terms of strength, with the strength of all countries, they are far superior to Qin! But every time the countries jointly attacked the Qin State, it was in vain, and the reason was that all countries had their minds and hoped that other countries would contribute to it, and they could obtain the greatest benefits at the minimum cost! This is the ugliness of human nature, but it is also true.
Just like this time, the reason is that weak countries want to protect themselves, and strong countries want to fight steadily and steadily. Everyone knows that the killing of the army is just a cover, and as long as someone wants to, this fragile covenant cannot withstand a light blow. But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to do how.
It is true that South Korea is strong, but other countries are not lambs to the slaughter. When Korea is so strong that all countries are convinced, the king of Han has an order, and the princes are all obedient, then it will be when Korea is really strong! South Korea is still far from achieving this step.
After all, peace is not negotiated, and neither is reunification! King Han became more and more aware that if he wanted to avoid today's compromise, he could only improve his own strength again, to the point where all countries had the idea of being incomparable, and then it was time to end this troubled world and achieve true peace!
Of course, whether it was out of selfishness or public intentions, in order not to make this alliance of soldiers become a completely flashy thing, King Han reached a very detailed alliance with the seven kingdoms of Qin, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Yan, Zhou, and Yue in the following days.
First, the time limit of the Covenant is three years, and after three years, States must follow the Covenant. The latter means that all countries will tear their faces and the world will once again enter the stage of unity and horizontal!
Second, it restricts relations between the ROK and the ROK. Because there is only one city left in the Zhou State, Korea completely surrounds the Zhou State, and the Zhou State is completely unable to threaten any country in the world. Therefore, the covenant mainly stipulates the requirements for Korea. Korea promised that it would never attack Zhou, and if it was violated, all countries in the world could unite to crusade against Korea.
Third, it restricts the relations between Han, Qin, and Zhao. The three countries border each other, and they are all important powers, so the covenant is very detailed. First, the three countries set aside their dispute and use the current border as the demarcation line. Zhao Ruo attacked Qin, and Han attacked Zhao; Qin Ruo committed Zhao. Han Zefa Qin; Qin and Zhao invaded Han, and Yan, Qi, Chu, and Yue aided Han; Han Ruofa Zhao or Qin, then Yan, Qi, Chu, and Yue aided it.
Fourth, ensure the security of Qi country. Yan and Zhao Faqi will be saved by South Korea. If Han takes all, the world will attack Han together.
Fifth, to ensure the security of the country. If Chu invades Yue, Han attacks Chu. If Han Ruo fights the Yue, the world will fight Han together!
In this, the status of the ROK as the leader of the alliance is clearly stipulated. No matter which country is attacked, South Korea has an obligation to send troops to help the attacked side. If South Korea is on guard, it steals. Then the world will jointly crusade against South Korea. Among them, emphasis was placed on protecting the security of the four weak and small countries of Qin, Qi, Yue, and Zhou. Among them, Zhou Guo is the foil, because he is too weak, South Korea cherishes its reputation and will never trouble Zhou Guo. Other countries want to find trouble with Zhou, and it is even more out of reach.
The real core lies in the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Yue. As a weak party, these three countries need to guard against annexation by other countries. Among them, the state of Zhao has the ability to annex the state of Qin, and Yan and Zhao do not need to unite, but also have the ability to annex the state of Qi. The state of Chu has the ability to annex the Yue State, and the safety of these three countries also determines how long this alliance can last! It's also a top priority in Korea!
Of course, in order to prevent all countries from uniting to crusade against South Korea, King Han formulated the last alliance, that is, if other countries unite and attack South Korea against the alliance, then other countries will help South Korea, and South Korea will be the main force to attack the countries that have betrayed the alliance, exterminate the other party's society, and share the land with the countries that help him!
Such a clause directly guarantees that it is impossible for all countries in the world to work together to deal with South Korea. Think about it, on the surface, all countries united to crusade against South Korea, but as a result, several countries were bought by South Korea and temporarily defected, and it is obvious what will happen to the countries that are the first to propose betraying the alliance.
Knowing what South Korea wanted, the countries put away their careful thinking and turned to carefully refining the covenant to ensure their own interests without infringing on the interests of other countries.
Twelve days later, on July 28, all the countries of the world swore an oath to slaughter three animals in Lu County, and then killed the army. Since then, the centuries-long world chaos has come to an end. No one knows how long the peace will last, and all the people in the world only know that they finally don't have to live the days of licking blood from the knife edge!
Because he transferred to Yingchuan County, inspected the construction of Hanyi and Yingchuan College, and discussed the pros and cons of the new law with local students and people, it was already September when King Han and his entourage returned to Luoyang.
During the period when King Han left, Prime Minister Zhang Ping took care of state affairs in an orderly manner. With the return of King Han, a major event is also imminent, that is, rewarding meritorious officials!
In this great war of the Four Kingdoms to invade Korea, Li Xin, Meng Fu, Han Teng, Le Cheng, Zhu Hai, Wei Yun, Li Bing and others have all made great contributions, according to the new law of South Korea, they should all be promoted.
Previously, out of the need to stabilize the current situation, King Han had to appoint these meritorious courtiers to stabilize the situation on the border and prevent small chaos. Now that the alliance has reached a final agreement, the world has stopped the war, and South Korea has initially gained a foothold in the newly occupied land, whether it is to boost the morale of the army or to summarize the gains and losses in this war, it is time to gather the heroes to return to Luoyang!
Moreover, in view of the fact that although Korea lost Hedong this time, it gained a rich land the size of seven counties, many officials need to be delegated! In addition, the official promotion system of one examination for three years and one examination for five years has also come to be implemented, and King Han decided to take advantage of this opportunity to summon the outstanding governors of various counties and counties to Luoyang as meritorious ministers to be promoted and reused!
King Han wants to use this unprecedented award ceremony to tell the people and subjects of Korea that as long as they are loyal to themselves and Korea, whether they go to the battlefield to fight or to keep their duties (the officials care about governing the people, and the people care about farming), he will never treat them badly!!
