Chapter 417: What should Zhao Guo do if he changes the law?
"This will be among the hosts, how can there be any security problems." Zhao Kuo shook his head, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "As long as all the monarchs work together, attack urgently, and defend strongly, then I will be safe and secure."
When several people heard this, they all knew that the general's determination had been made, just as the general said, "the urgency of the attack, the solidity of the defense" will not be safe, so there is no more to say, immediately clasped his hands into fists, and said in unison: "The last general takes the order!"
In other words, everyone also deeply imprinted the six words "attack urgently, defend solidly" in the bottom of their hearts.
More words are no longer spoken, and action has begun. This is also the style that Zhao Kuo brought to Zhao Jun - just do what he says, and never drag the mud and water.
At the end of the day, after the sunset dissipated the last trace of light and heat, the gate of Sanggan City, which had been closed, was quietly opened again. The city of Sanggan, which was originally quite lively, was already empty at this time because of the curfew, and the streets were almost silent, only the vicious dogs in the alleys were still barking wildly.
It's just that under the hazy moonlight, on the main road of Sanggan, it is black and oppressive. The 30,000 elites of the mighty and mighty were silently marching on the main road, if it weren't for the armor and swords and guns that faintly reflected the light in the moonlight and the overlapping shadows, I really thought that this was a netherworld master who came out of the underworld.
30,000 Zhao troops, or one man and one horse, or one person and two horses, swept through the city, killing into the boundless darkness, but almost silently, the elite of the border army of Zhao can be seen.
That's right, these 30,000 troops are all cavalry, Zhao Kuo from the Shangdang brought the elite, the horse is cavalry, and the horse is a foot soldier, just because after the Changping War, the Shangdang lacks war horses, so there is no full cavalry equipment to come, to Dai County, others may be lacking, but this war horse is more.
As a result, an army of 30,000 people was put together by Zhao Kuo, and even the most elite 3,000 cavalry was one person and two horses, just in case of emergency.
Looking at the elite army marching silently on the side, Zhao Kuo, who was also marching, sighed with emotion: If there were such elites under his command in the Battle of Changping, where would he use so many brains, just drop ten times with one force and push it over.
couldn't help but feel a little envious of the second child of the Li family, almost without fighting, he was strong against the weak, and he was attacking with troops.
Of course, Zhao Kuo also understands that the war is originally fought with soldiers, horses, money and food, and is fought with comprehensive national strength.
And if you want to be so elite under your command, it depends not only on the strictness of military law and the rigor of military training, but more importantly, on the improvement of comprehensive national strength. To put it simply, if you want your soldiers to train well, at least keep them fed!
The 20,000 elite cavalry has almost squeezed out nearly half of the income of Daijun, if it were not for the constant subsidy from Handan, relying on Daijun alone, it would obviously not be able to support the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Mu in history, although he has a strong army, can often only follow the stupid advice of Handan (of course, foolish loyalty is also one of the reasons). There is no way, the logistics are all in the hands of others, once the logistics are cut off, no matter how powerful you are, it is useless.
Logistics, supplies, national strength. Several words swirled in Zhao Kuo's mind in turn, and finally turned into two words - economy.
The so-called "economic base determines the superstructure", Comrade Ma did not deceive me!
After this war, after clearing up the internal and external troubles, perhaps the most urgent thing for me to do is "development". However, in this almost semi-feudal, semi-slave state system, how easy is it to "develop"?
Even if he has mastered the vast majority of military power, in this seemingly stable military power system, no one knows how much influence the scholar clan has, and how intertwined the relationship between the family is.
Even these intricate relationships are even more difficult to deal with than the high-ranking King Zhao! Otherwise, the reform and reform of Zhao State in history would not have left only the four words "Hufu Cavalry Shooting".
Yes, the historical Zhao State really reformed and changed the law, which is the "Hufu Cavalry Shooting" recommended by King Zhao Wuling. Even Zhao's reform still absorbed the failure of Wei's reform
The lessons of the Qin State were turned to learn from the changes of the Qin State.
In essence, Zhao's changes were almost identical to those of Qin.
Through the two strategies of "farming and warfare", the Qin State concentrated all of Qin's limited national strength on the military aspect, and then promoted foreign wars, absorbing nutrients from foreign wars, so as to feed back the slightly depressed economy and slightly acute contradictions at home.
The economic depression is easy to understand, because a large number of people are only engaged in "farming and warfare", and the circulation of commerce and entertainment will naturally be reduced, and the economy will naturally become depressed to a certain extent.
The sharp contradiction is the contradiction between the people at the bottom and the clan at the top.
The so-called lord system of the Qin State said that meritorious service must be rewarded, but in fact, it was deprived first and then returned.
That is, the Qin people were first beaten into the dust, deprived of all their rights and property, and then encouraged them to cultivate and fight, and according to their degrees, they were given back the rights they should have enjoyed as human beings.
The huge value created by the low-level Qin people in the process of deprivation and restitution, including the plundering of the wealth of other countries, has become a delicious meal enjoyed by the upper-class clans of the Qin State, including the Qin royal family.
Of course, as long as the Qin State can always win in foreign wars, the Qin people at the bottom can still see hope, and they will be able to live for a long time, and the contradictions will not be intensified. will even become a supporter of this system, as evidenced by the so-called "correcting the old Qin and going to the national disaster together". Z.br>
This is also the stage of Mr. Lu Xun's so-called "temporarily sitting firmly as a slave".
But once there is a failure in a foreign war, especially after repeated defeats, the low-level Qin people who cannot be repaid will lose hope, and the high-ranking clans still want to scrape a layer of oil from those mud legs who have nothing to make up for their losses in the lost foreign war.
As a result, the Qin people at the bottom entered the stage where Mr. Lu Xun said that "they want to be slaves but can't get them", and the contradictions will be irrepressibly and inevitably intensified, thus causing the Qin State to fall into a bottomless abyss.
Historically, Liu Bang invaded Guanzhong, and the Qin people in Guanzhong welcomed him, probably for this reason.
As for the Zhao State, the situation back then was even worse than that of the Qin people. The three families are divided, and Zhao Guona's territory is the most northern, not only the most remote and barren, but also the smallest.
There is Qiangyan in the north, Han Wei in the south, and there is a tiger-eyed Qin State in the west, and even the small country of Zhongshan often commits borders, and the situation of Zhao State can be described as dire, and the primary problem it has to face is not to fight for hegemony, but to survive!
Therefore, learning from the Qin people to strengthen the army first and then enrich the country, that is, "Mr. Cun, then Strong", became the only choice of Zhao State. And Hufu cavalry shooting is the most eye-catching of a series of measures taken by Zhao Wuling Wang to strengthen the army.
After all, the so-called "Huaxia", "China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of the uniform, which is called the flower."
And King Zhao Wuling actually changed the clothes of the Hu people without authorization, which can be said to overthrow the beauty of the Chinese costumes that the Central Plains countries are proud of, and such a move is naturally the most eye-catching among the countries.
The good news is that this choice is not bad, at least it is much more successful than the changes of Han and Wei, and soon King Zhao Wuling has a powerful army in his hands, and then the ambitious King Zhao Wuling takes his iron army on his own journey.
conquer Zhongshan, subdue Linhu, and expand thousands of miles to the north; Joining the Qin and Song dynasties, uniting the Qin to resist the Qin, and overcoming the troubles of the Emperor, King Wuling of Zhao ushered in his own highlights.
However, behind the great military achievements is the increasingly withering people's livelihood in the country, coupled with the increasingly serious internal contradictions, which have greatly hindered the development of the Zhao State, and King Zhao Wuling knows very well that he must take advantage of his supreme prestige to begin to thoroughly rectify internal affairs and start reforms.
So the vigorous reform of the law was immediately launched, but obviously, King Zhao Wuling overestimated his authority and ability, and even underestimated the power of the family's counterattack.
Maybe outside, King Zhao Wuling is a good player, but internally, he is not the opponent of those political veterans who have been immersed in Yin for many years. Drinking and hating the sand dunes naturally has its own accidents, but looking at the outbreak of its internal contradictions, how can it not be an inevitability in chance?
But no matter how it is resolved, judging from this alone, the history of King Zhao Wuling's fortune is almost exactly the same as Shang Ying's changes
Kind - change the law to reform the army first, and change the world with military achievements.
The difference is that Shang Ying is lucky, although his body is dead, King Qin Huiwen respects the law of Shang Jun and acts, and his law will not be extinguished for a hundred years, and it is even more far-reaching; And King Zhao Wuling was unlucky, a dune palace change, so that his reform of internal affairs fell short, and people thousands of years later only remembered the sentence "Hufu riding and shooting".
is sad and lamentable, but also left a mess for Zhao Kuo today.
The big families in Zhao have already become frightened birds after experiencing the changes of King Zhao Wuling, and now, Zhao Kuo wants to change the law in Zhao again, how difficult it is!
couldn't help but miss Lu Buwei who was still preparing supplies and preparing for the exchange of markets in Daicheng, maybe he was the only one who could help him untie this joint.
However, these things are obviously all in the future.
The most important thing at the moment is to win this war, not even just this war, there are several wars waiting for you in the future.
You can't lose a single game, and you don't even want to win, but you have to win beautifully!
The so-called "difficult to pass the pass" is probably like this.
In the darkness of the night, in the dim moonlight, a long dragon finally floated out of Sanggan City.
With a "squeak" sound, the city gate slowly closed.
Looking back, under the moon at the head of the city, several faint figures were standing on top of the city, watching the departure of the army.
Turning the horse's head, Zhao Kuo also disappeared into the darkness......
