"Fan Li, in your opinion, can Zheng Guo's Yangziju change be successful?"

Qingji asked with interest.

Now, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei are almost completely following the example of the early Wu state to carry out reforms, and if they go with the flow, they will definitely succeed in the end.

Qingji knows this.

Because the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty were just established, the aristocratic power was not strong, and they were forced by the strength of the overlord Wu State, so they strictly changed the law.

If there is a strong master, and then encounters a suitable way to change the law, as well as a relatively safe external environment, and a relatively weak aristocratic force, how can such a change not be successful?

Zheng Guo is a bit different from the Sanjin who is changing the law.

After all, to this day, Zheng Guoguo has been hundreds of years old, and it has always been the "Qing clan politics" before, and the power of the old family is extremely powerful.

This is also the reason why Ji was competent in appointing the horse at the beginning, and planned to follow the example of Wu Guo's failure to change the law.

has no choice but to win, and now Zheng Boji is finding another way.

"It's successful, but it's not completely successful."

"What's the explanation?"

"Zheng Guo's Yangziju reform method relies on the strong lord to maintain it, if Zheng Bo's courage is insufficient, so that the change method is abandoned halfway, or Zheng Bo's middle way collapses, then the death method is ......eliminated."

Fan Li chuckled and said, "King, you have dealt with Uncle Zheng a few times, you should know who he is." ”

“……”

Qingji bowed slightly, and said: "Zheng Bosheng, this person is ambitious and talented, forgets his righteousness when he sees small profits, does big things and spares his life, and is radical, and is in a hurry to achieve everything......"

"If he can have the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, like the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei, he can comprehensively follow the reform of our Wu State and remove Zheng Guo's 'stubborn disease', or Zheng Guo can be truly rich and strong, and people will die and the law will be there."

Hearing this, Fan Li looked approving, and said, "The king is wise." ”

What Zheng Bo lacks is precisely the courage to live to die. Change the law, as follows, if you are not careful, Zheng Guo's country may fall apart! ”

"Good."

Qingji's thoughts coincide with Fan Li.

Zheng Guo's Yangziju reform is almost the same as the historical Shen Buxian's reform in Korea.

A key indicator of the success of the reform is whether there is an interest group that has benefited from the reform.

Like the changes of the state of Wu, the state of Wu was completely transformed, integrating the land, population, army, nobility and geography of the state of Wu.

Moreover, in the process of changing the law, Wu Guo benefited countless peasants and soldiers by granting land and military merits, and cultivated an interest group that shared the glory and disgrace of the reform.

At any time, it is impossible for these people to oppose the change of the law, otherwise they will have to spit out the benefits they have received.

This is the key to the success of the change!

For example, now, Zheng Guo's Yangziju reform law pays attention to strengthening the monarch's centralized power, the monarch uses power to control the ministers, uses laws and regulations to rectify officials, and cleans up the aristocracy is its due meaning.

This set of methods is effective and powerful, but if you think about it carefully, the decrees are all in favor of the monarch, none of them benefit the ministers, and there is no way to open up the common people's class.

The benefits are all taken by the monarch, the black cauldron is all carried by the ministers, and the common people are forced to become silent spectators.

This kind of change is to go the wrong way!

Politics that relies on strongmen will inevitably end with the death of strongmen.

Qing Ji said with a surging smile: "Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help." Widows are helpless, relatives are on the side. If you help more, the world will be smooth! ”

"Yangziju changes the law, and the final result is very likely to cause Zheng Bo's people to betray and leave, and there is a danger of self-destruction."

After a pause, Qingji looked around again, looked at Fan Li, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and other ministers present, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, and today, all the following countries have changed the law, or reformed, and implemented new policies. ”

"If the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei succeed in changing the law, then the current princes of the Six Jin Dynasty will be gone."

"Qin, Qi, Song, Wei and other countries are also implementing new policies, and their national strength is getting stronger."

"Time is running out!"

"The widows want to annex Shu, and then destroy the Qin State in the north. Swallow Shu and destroy Qin, only this one battle! ”

Qingji was not discussing with the ministers, but had already made up his mind.

Therefore, after saying this, Qingji set his eyes on the body of the national lieutenant Sun Wu and asked, "Sun Wu, if you launch a battle to swallow Shu and destroy Qin, how much military strength do you need?" ”

】

"Two hundred thousand."

“……”

Sun Wu's reply was enough to make everyone, including Qingji, couldn't help but smack their tongues.

An army of 200,000?

Sun Wu is afraid that he is not entertaining Qingji and entertaining Wu Guo!

Throughout the ages, where would there be a war of this scale in China?

At least, the unilateral power of one country, 200,000 soldiers and horses at every turn, is unique!

Prince Heng couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, glanced at Sun Wu, and said, "Captain, is this 200,000 army too much?" ”

"Not much."

Sun Wu shook his head and said, "Prince, the old minister is still being conservative. ”

"If our Wu State wants to swallow Shu and destroy Qin, at least 200,000 troops, and then we must add 100,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses in case of contingencies."

"It's easy to swallow Shu, but it's hard to destroy Qin. If the Qin people are prepared, relying on the mediation between Qin and our Wu army, I am afraid that the war will be protracted and it will not be possible to destroy Qin in one battle. ”

"Ridiculous!"

Uncle Cheng glared at the imperial history and said, "Captain, you are not afraid that you are entertaining the king!" ”

"How big is Qin Land? There is no former Chu country, and the territory is vast! As powerful as the State of Chu, it was also annexed by our State of Wu, not to mention the State of Qin, which is located in the western corner? ”

"In the battle to destroy Chu, my Wu State only had an army of 100,000 at every turn, so why did it take 200,000 or 300,000 troops to destroy Qin?"

"In terms of precipitousness, there are more horses and flats in Qindi, how many places are there?"

"In terms of national strength, the Qin State is far from my Great Wu."

"In terms of soldiers, after Qin Boning's reforms, the armor of the Qin army has indeed improved, but compared to the Ruishi of Wu State, it is still insignificant."

"Why can't the national lieutenant destroy Qin with 100,000 people?"

There seems to be some truth in Bo Yan's words.

But, how can the destruction of Qin be the same as the destruction of Chu?

Back then, Wu destroyed Chu with a small and broad strategy, and adopted a strategy of encroachment step by step.

Wu sent troops to attack Chu, sometimes 30,000, sometimes 50,000, sometimes 80,000, and finally 100,000, more than 100,000!

After years of encroachment, Wu was finally able to annex Chu and replace it as the hegemonic power dominating the south.

Now that Wu is destroying Qin, it is necessary to adopt the strategy of swallowing a whale.

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you will be bitten by a snake.

If Wu could not destroy Qin in one battle, it was destined to lose its foothold in Qin, and there was a danger of being dragged into the quagmire of war and unable to extricate itself......

Sun Wu thought for a while, and then said: "100,000 people, you can only destroy Shu, and it is absolutely impossible to destroy Qin." ”
