Fusu was silent.

He still knows something about Yan Guo.

In that year, Su Qin, a famous scholar in Shandong, proposed the diplomatic relations strategy of the six countries to resist Qin.

After the defeat of the first Zhao State, Su Qin did not go to Wei and Han, but went directly to find the Yan State.

In Su Qin's lobbying of King Yan, he directly named the mistakes of Yan's diplomatic relations strategy, and this is actually not a microcosm of the entire history of Yan.

"Peace, no worries about the army and killing the generals, no Yan Guo! Does the king know why? The reason why Fu Yan didn't commit Kou was to be a soldier, and he used Zhao as a cover for Nanye! Qin and Zhao cheated, and the king used the whole Yan system to follow, so this Yan did not make difficulties. Yan Zhi attacked Yan and fought thousands of miles away; Zhao Zhi attacked Yan and fought within a hundred miles. The husband is not worried about the trouble of a hundred miles, and the weight is thousands of miles away, there is no more than this! ”

At that time, Su Qin ridiculed the Yan State's diplomatic policy of 'not worrying about a hundred miles, but worrying about a thousand miles', but this was a typical Yan-style government.

This kind of roundabout political relations, the biggest crux is that there is no sober judgment of interests, current affairs are swayed by a big and inappropriate idea, diplomatic relations are often vacillating, although Yan Wengong was typical at that time, but soon after, Yan immediately withdrew from the vertical and Qin State, and returned to the old road.

Later, the diplomatic relations of Yan State were recognized by the world for their capriciousness.

At first glance, this kind of diplomatic relations seems to be a wise strategy of diplomatic relations with a strong country, but Yan is not a strong country, and there is no ambition to dominate the world.

Secretly, Fusu also thought about the reason.

In his opinion, the fundamental reason why Yan Kingdom is like this lies in the broad spirit of the royal road and the noble complex of the old royal princes.

Tian Qi and Zhao are both emerging countries, and they cannot be the same as the descendants of the Son of Heaven surnamed Ji.

It is precisely because of the lack of weighing of the actual benefits and the jealousy of the 'life experience' of the powerful neighbor that the Yan State has accumulated diplomatic relations and even fallen into long-term pedantic.

The monarchs and ministers of the Yan State were always unrealistic, fearful of the solid contest of strength, and always fantasized about using some kind of seemingly solemn and solemn saint king's virtue to calm the harsh conflict of interest, and retreated from the real changes, this illusory and chaotic political environment was also the reason why Le Yi resolutely fled from the Yan Kingdom in the end.

Le Yi has a very clear understanding of Yan Guo's political tradition, and he knows that he is powerless to change and is unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Although Great Qin does not have the pedantry of Yan State, the courtiers already have Yan State's obsession with 'birth status', and in the long run, Qin State may also fall into a situation where it is difficult to return.

If it really comes to that time, will Great Qin really have the spare strength to reform?

Really won't be affected by the pedantic?

Fusu didn't know.

But he already had the answer in mind.

Ji Heng continued: "As for the state of Chu. Solid Chu and dead Chu are all divided! ”

"The axis of partition lies in the division of state power."

"In the world of the Warring States Period, the major powers in the Central Plains began to seek to change the law to become strong, and the wave of changing the law to strengthen the country came and went, among so many big countries, only the Chu State had only one short halfway change, and then as long as there was a sign of the change of law, it would be immediately strangled."

"That's why."

"Since the founding of the state, the state of Chu has not been able to solve the problem of partition."

"And the half-time change of the Chu State is the Wu Qi change."

"The reason why it is called half a time is because the time is too short, from Wu Qi entering Chu to Wu Qi being killed, there are only three short years in total."

"If we really talk about it, it will only be more than a year since the law change was actually implemented."

"It's a real glimpse."

"Wu Qi changed the law, and there are three points in general."

"First, Junjue Pinglu."

"At this time, the Chu family still controlled the high lord and Houlu in addition to the feudal estate, and although the children of the commoners had military exploits, they could not get the title, and the non-clan generals could not get even the low lord Bolu. Therefore, Junjue Pinglu is actually a powerful system to stimulate the fighting spirit of soldiers. ”

"It is also the predecessor of the military merit system in the Shang Dynasty reform."

"Second, abolish the incompetent officials of the clan and raise the warriors."

"Third, colonize the territory."

"Migrate the population of the world to remote areas to develop and pioneer the land, and benefit the Chu country with the shortcomings of the Chu country."

"However, these three directions, except for the war, the rest are just plans that have not yet been implemented, even so, they have also been alerted by the old family of Chu, with the death of King Chu mourning, the old family of Chu quickly took action and shot Wu Qi, and the reform of Chu State ended."

"The failure of the Wu Qi Reform Law means that the entrenched aristocracy has an extremely strong inertia, and these nobles are simply unwilling to make any changes."

"Any change must be stopped."

"This is also the root cause why Qu Yuan was immediately strangled by everyone in the world as soon as he brewed a change in the Chu State."

"Although the follow-up of the Chu State has converged, it is all under the condition of external forces, and they have to work together to carry Qin, but after Xiang Yan won a big victory, the bad habit of the old clan restraining each other recurred, and the power that was finally gathered together appeared a huge crack again, and its demise was inevitable."

"Baoju Jianghuai Lingnan has become the largest country, although the clans are loosely combined, after all, the Chu country has also been achieved."

"Weak and weak, and always sluggish, the chronic disease of the world's division of the world."

"Chu, Xing is also divided, and death is also divided."

"It's not sad!"

Ji Heng shook his head.

Although the state of Chu is vast and rich, since the founding of the state of Chu, it is destined to fall into the chaos of division and rule, but with the domination of the world by Qin, the old clans that could not be cohesed for a long time have been condensed again for a short time, and the strength of these old clans is still there, but they are not as strong as the Chu state back then, and they are still not to be underestimated.

It's just that as happened in history, even if Xiang Yu defeated the Qin State in Julu, the victory and inability to unite for a long time was still hopelessly divided and ruled by the world.

If it goes against the general trend of the world, it is destined to suffer from it.

This is a legacy of the past political traditions of the Chu State.

It cannot be rebuilt without total destruction.

Forthwith.

Ji Heng spoke of the last of the six countries.

Qi country.

He said lightly: "The problem of Qi is actually very warning to Qin. ”

"Forget the war, and lose the country!"

"In the world of the Warring States, on the martial tradition, the martial arts of the Qi State are not inferior to Qin Zhao, and the heroic style is even more overwhelming."

"In terms of military strength, the scale of the Qi army has been maintained at least 400,000 for a long time, and it has always occupied the number of powerful countries in the middle and late Warring States period. On the history of offensive warfare, the state of Qi won two great battles and destroyed the glorious record of the first hegemony of our Wei country, on the history of hard wars, there were six years of resistance to Yan and the restoration of the country again, on financial resources, Qi country according to the benefits of fish and salt in the world, the development of business and travel stood side by side with the Wei country, until the death of the country, the treasury of Qi has been full, and the people are still rich. ”

"In terms of political affairs and the rule of officials, after King Qi Wei and King Qi Xuan changed the law twice, the degree of clarity of the rule of officials in Qi has always ranked among the top three in the Warring States."

"On talents, Qi country's style of learning is very prosperous, Jixia School Palace gathers many celebrities, undoubtedly the world's sin, has also occupied the highest crown of the world for a long time, on folk customs and folk customs, Qi people 'broad and broad, greedy and brave, wise, good to discuss', have a mind and tolerance, rough and wise, not a weak group of people who are better than quality."

"However, such a powerful country, at the end of the Warring States Period, was vulnerable, why not?"

"From some Qin soldiers, as well as some Qi people, most of what I heard was 'the people dare not dare to be qualified, the country is broken and the city is broken'."

"The people of Qi who have always been brave and brave did not dare to fight the enemy army at the end of the Warring States Period."

"There are two explanations for this."

"First, the people of Qi have despaired of this country, so they are indifferent and unwilling to follow Qi to die."

"The second is that the Qi people have been happy for a long time, the fighting spirit is diffuse, and the heroic and popular spirit has disappeared, as far as I see, the second is the main reason why the Qi country is vulnerable."

Ji Heng said with emotion: "Those who are warmon will die, and those who forget to fight will be in danger." ”

"Qi Guo is the one who forgets the war."

"In the world of the Warring States Period, compared with the chaotic war in the Central Plains, the Qi State did not have a war for more than 40 years at the end of the Warring States Period, that is to say, the Qi people have not fought for nearly 50 years, and they have spent their time in a state of peace and recreation, which is an ideal state at any time."

"However, it was from the Warring States."

"The world of great controversy."

"In such an era of turbulent and turbulent struggle, a big country has been fighting for more than 50 years, which is tantamount to a dreamlike existence."

"And there's a reason for that."

"After Le Yi's change, the Yan army broke Qi in six years, the Qi country fell to the bottom, the treasury was looted by the Yan army, the population was greatly reduced, and the Qi country, which was originally called the two emperors of the east and west with the Qin state, had to re-plan the national policy, from the strong Qi that affected the overall situation of the Warring States in the past, to the 'recuperation of national strength, the whole night of war preparation, affinity with the princes, and the camera dispatch'."

"And since this turn, Qi has never looked back."

"Completely slip into the path of complete relaxation."

"Although there were lonely replies in the later period, trying to revive the majesty of the Qi country, but after the ruling temple firmly believed in the national policy of 'Qin Anqi', the government and the opposition of the Qi State turned a blind eye to all the voices of resistance and revitalization, and finally caused a tragedy of the country."

"Personally, Qi Guo's approach is simply incredible."

"In the world of the Warring States Period, the understanding of the whole society is full of vigilance against war and the importance of armaments, and the State of Qi is not an ignorant and remote tribe, and it has completely forgotten to deviate from this basic understanding, which is really incredible. It's simply unheard of. ”

"The beginning of the "Sima Law" in the "Seven Books of Wujing" has a cloud: Although the country is big, the warlike will die. Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. ”

"This is a wise saying."

"Since the third generation of the Xia and Shang dynasties, the great powers have pinned their hopes for survival on the illusory covenant, and they have been in a corner of the world without even giving up the least struggle when the country is ruined, and the country of Qi is the first case in ancient and modern times."

"The lesson is profound."

"It should also be remembered for Daqin."

"The warmongers will perish, and those who forget to fight will be in danger!"

Hearing about Qi Guo's approach, Fusu was also amazed.

If it weren't for the death of the Qi State without a fight, Qin wanted to dominate the world, and it would probably take some time, and it would have to pay a lot of price.

Qi finally fulfilled the Qin State, but it was enough to cause the Qin State to wake up.

Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous.

Ji Heng then chuckled and said: "As for the Qin State, in fact, there is not much to say, under the powerful hundred-year law of Shang Ying, Qin completely isolated the chronic diseases of the Qin tribe, and derived a new national style, thus successfully avoiding the chaos and political crisis of the other six countries for a long time. ”

"There are three treatments for the Gaifa family, and the potential treatment and the surgical treatment are all tumors."

"Relying on the rule of power will lead to absolute monarchy and autocracy, which is actually the same as the rule of man."

"Relying on magic will inevitably lead to conspiracy, which is the same as internal friction."

"Only the mainstream and authentic rule of law is practiced in the Qin State and is successful, and the rule of law can be seen as the right way to govern the country."

"The seven countries of the Warring States have all changed their laws, and the other six countries have all perished, and Qin has been able to prosper greatly, which can prove the correctness of the rule of law."

"This lesson from the rise and fall of the ages must not be overlooked."

"The reason why the reform of the Shang Dynasty was successful was not because of the military merit system that the world thinks, nor was it that all were equal under any law, but because the content of the reform of the Shang Dynasty was more profound and thorough than that of the other six countries, and it was more and more targeted at the past political traditions of the Qin State, and Qin Xiaogong resolutely abandoned the old political traditions, which finally promoted the implementation of a comprehensive and profound reform of the Qin State."

"From this."

"The state of Qin is strong."

"And last for the sixth, and dominate China."

"It's so thorough that you can't feel too much."

"Honestly."

"When other princes in the world were still sticking to the temple and continuing to cultivate clan power, Qin directly implemented the 'household separation order': it was forbidden for fathers, sons, and brothers to rest in the same room; When the other princes still remembered that they could not be punished by the doctor, Qin directly opened the knife on the Shi clan, and basically eradicated the old Shi clan of the Qin State; When other princes were still impassable by the aristocracy, Qin directly implemented the military merit system, as long as they could achieve military merit, they could obtain the title, and all were equal under the law. ”

"This completely broke the old political system and folk customs."

"Compared with the Six Kingdoms, Qin has carried out extremely profound changes based on tradition, comprehensive and thorough, and more importantly, the successive monarchs of the Qin State have always adhered to the content of the reforms, so as to avoid the resurgence of the old foundation and old ideas, and avoid giving up halfway, or failing in success."

"However, the results of the Shang Dynasty reform can only be maintained until Qin dominates the world, and after Qin rules the world, it is difficult to continue to maintain the results of the Shang Dynasty reform."

"Because the chronic illness of Qin back then, and even the chronic illness of the other six countries, have reappeared in Great Qin."

"If we don't carry out sustained and long-term reforms, Daqin is destined to die for these chronic diseases."

"In the end, it will be difficult to return, until it is completely destroyed."

"And that's what it means to change the law!"

Nine thousand words tomorrow
