I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 387 Ready to Turn the Family into a Country (Two in One)

"He is sad, but I am also fortunate. If the Han family does not come here to ask for peace, my family can help me with words; the Han family is determined to go west, and I will follow the Han family." Zhiyao said .

What happened to the state of Qin had nothing to do with the Zhi family. Even if the Han family could enter Qinchuan and gain a foothold, it would have little to do with the Zhi family in the short term.

Is it possible for the Han family to enter the land of Qin and gain a firm foothold?It seems that the difficulty is not ordinary, and there is also the fiefdom of the Zhi family in the Qin land, and the fiefs of the Wei family, the Hu family, and the Zhong family are also there, so it will not become the stage for the Han family.

Han Geng was actually very entangled. The few invasions were only the one when Zhiyao led the army to the west and achieved great results. The Han family went west by themselves or brought the Fox family with them, but the effect can only be said to be almost non-existent.

"My family's western expedition must be unstoppable, but..., it is difficult to attack." Han Geng said.

Zhiyao simply showed a speechless expression on her face.

The state of Qin couldn't afford to fight every year, and the Han family couldn't afford it either.

After all, in a war, not only one side consumes and loses, and if the fight continues, there will be no winner or loser in a short time. Isn't the comparison about who has the stronger will and wealth?

Zhiyao explained: "Qin also has difficulties. The Rongdi in the western border is not peaceful, and the Yiqu in the northern border is changing frequently."

The state of Qin has not completely defeated Rongdi, and the two sides have been engaged in small-scale battles.

Yiqu?This is a very old tribe. It had no intersection with Qin State for a long time. Later, when the two sides became neighbors, there was constant friction.

Han Geng knew about that, did he just think that only Qin Guo was suffering?

The Han family should take it easy and avoid fighting too hard with the Qin State, causing someone in the Jin State to stare at them and even launch actual actions.

Of course, Han Geng wouldn't say those words, he just needs to be more vigilant.

Han Geng said: "I want to send someone to Yiqu, I wonder what Yao thinks?"

What the hell?
The Han family sent envoys to Yiqu, definitely wanting to cooperate.

At the current historical stage, Qin is the only country that has ever formed an alliance with a foreign race, and they are therefore nailed to the pillar of historical shame.

Zhiyao saw Han Geng's shyness, and obviously felt that it was a shameful thing to cooperate with a foreign race.

It's right to have that kind of shame.

It's not that Yiqu is too weak, Han family feels ashamed to cooperate with him, simply because Yiqu is a foreigner.

The current era is not completely devoid of ethnic concepts, but it is more vague compared with modern times.

The Han family will feel ashamed, and the bigger reason is that doing so will make the Han family appear more hungry.

If there is a choice, Han Geng hopes to find a strong teammate in the Jin Kingdom to go west with him, but the last time Han Geng talked with Zhiyao himself, and later asked Wei Ju to come forward, Zhiyao always declined the proposal to lead the army to go west.

What was Zhiyao's real mood at that time?It must be Han Geng thinking about farts.

Han himself does not have the ability or strength to fight against Qin Guo, so why do he think that Zhiyao should help work?

After being declined by Zhiyao, Han Geng suggested a national war, but was still declined by Zhiyao.

The form of the national war?It is equivalent to saying that if Xizheng has gained anything, and distribute it based on credit, no one will suffer.

The reason why Zhiyao refused was too simple.

There is no such good thing in the world. How can you take advantage of yourself if you can beat it, and propose to share the benefits if you can't win it?

If the Han family is willing to take out the benefits in advance to share a point with each family, and then to carry out the Western Expedition in the national war mode, it will be an expression of true sincerity.The problem is that the old Han family doesn't have one, giving people the impression that they are not strong enough and have no responsibility, and they seem to be extremely irresponsible.

No, the Wei family was shocked by Han's actions, and then stopped accepting Han's invitation to the west, and only agreed to reinforce the defense once the Qin army counterattacked.

Thinking about it, the Wei family was also disgusted by the Han family, and was very depressed why he was Han's neighbor?
Han Geng readjusted his mentality before visiting Zhiyao again.

This time, Han Geng was finally willing to distribute the benefits first, and then invited Zhiyao to be the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition.

"If I don't want to go, it's because the Eastern Realm is at a critical time." Zhiyao declined again.

That made Han Geng very embarrassed.

After all, Han showed great sincerity and was rejected by Zhiyao for the third time.

Zhiyao saw Han Geng's embarrassment, thought for a while and said: "Geng also knows that my family is carrying out a project to the east of the city of 'Ye', and is unable to send many troops. If there is a national war, why doesn't Geng invite everyone to go with him? My family can come out One 'division', and then send Sun Wu as a 'general'."

In terms of reputation alone, Sun Wu is no match for Zhiyao.

This is the blessing of Zhiyao's multiple identities, and the record is also really sturdy.

Breaking through the capital of a country, right?
Sun Wu cooperated with Wu Zixu to break through the "Ying" capital of Chu State, and as a deputy.

There are four capitals in a country that were conquered by the army led by Zhiyao alone. Not to mention that Zhiyao is the eldest son of the Zhi family of the Jin State, he is currently one of the six "qings" of the Jin State.

When doing the same thing, different identities will have different effects. It must be that the person with a higher status will get more halo, and the sensation will be greater.

"Sun Wu? It seems to be possible..." Han Geng thought to himself.

If Sun Wu is in command of the Zhi Clan, then of course Han Geng will be the commander of the Western Expedition, and Sun Wu can serve as a deputy or a staff officer.

Zhiyao means the above.

After Han Geng left Zhiyao's side, he went to find Wei Ju without taking a break. He didn't talk about the communication method with Zhiyao, but simply stated the result.

After dividing the direction of expansion, the strategic goals of Zhishi, Weishi, and Hanshi are quite clear, and each has countless things to be busy with.

Wei Ju was not surprised that Zhiyao agreed that Zhishi was willing to send troops.

This is the difference between whether the Han family is willing to share the benefits in advance. If no one is willing to do it before, it will definitely be different if they are willing to share it later.

It's not just about whether it's good or not, it's actually related to attitude.

The truth is that it is more important to have benefits!
To put it bluntly, no one is someone's parents. If you want to ask for help, especially for such a dangerous and unpredictable thing as sending troops, opening your mouth and wanting others to pay is really thinking too much.

One winter, the Han family was asked to sort out the plan for the Western Expedition next year, and later asked Zhiyao to let Sun Wu come to "Xintian" to actually participate in the planning.

Zhiyao, who seems to be very idle, has no intention of participating in the planning. Every day she either spends time with her family, or goes out or invites others to her home for a banquet.

"The people of Qin are fierce and not afraid of death." Zhong Xingqi came to the capital from the fiefdom not long ago.

Today, important members of the Zhi clan are all there.

They all seemed to be in high spirits, enough to reflect Zhishi's thriving.

Zhong Xingqi was talking about what he had seen and heard about the Qin land, and he couldn't help mentioning that the Qin people would harass the fief.

According to Zhong Xingqi, the Qin people rode horses and constantly harassed the fiefdoms of various Jin families in Qin, adopting a hit-and-run tactic.

That kind of tactics is undoubtedly to take advantage of mobility, fight if you can beat it, and slip away if you can't beat it. While it looks very rogue, it is actually quite useful.

Zhiyao said: "Tomorrow Suiyao will transfer three thousand cavalry to the west. Can Qi negotiate with his neighbors and hire my cavalry to ensure that they will not be harassed by the Qin people?"

Zhongxingqi really didn't expect the family to be so powerful, especially when the east is in a critical stage, and it can send [-] cavalry to the west.

This will refer to Zhiyao's long-term cavalry development.

At this stage, Zhuxia really has no shortage of people who can ride horses, but they really can't ride horses to fight.

With the emergence of stirrups and saddles, more and more people can at least ride horses and shoot arrows, even if they are not equipped with horseshoes, but the damage rate of war horses remains high.

Cavalry and archery are not very lethal to troops with a high armor rate. Participating in the battle is also a harassment effect, and then it is the pursuit and killing of the enemy after the collapse.

The armor-wearing rate of most armies is like that, anyway, don't expect all members to wear armor, a [-]-[-]% armor-wearing rate can be considered a luxury.

Because there are vast wetlands and plains in Hebei and southern Zhongshan, farming cannot be carried out and only grazing is encouraged. The Zhi family will definitely increase the number of people who are good at riding horses, and they will also become the source of soldiers for Zhiyao to recruit cavalry.

At this stage, Zhiyao's construction of cavalry is a stocking model. At most, they are gathered to go to a certain place to fight. If there is no war, they will be trained together. No further construction plan has been adopted for the time being.

There are only [-] cavalry, ordered to the north or east, and some knights are willing to accept the call, and then go to the battlefield to make contributions.

There is another joy of Zhongxingqi, the family...or Zhiyao didn't treat them differently.

To be honest, Zhiyao wants to let the Fox family and the Zhong family have a place in the future country, and there is really no need to treat Zhongxing Qi differently, let alone the time when Bank of China Yin is needed to contribute.

What's the situation?It's just that things in Qi State have changed.

Although the Qi State is still alive and well, they not only do not have a king, but after a year of large-scale civil war, a large number of people have been lost to the Zhi Clan, and the surviving Gong Clan is almost bleeding dry.

Zhong Xingyin, who is in Qi State, bears an important responsibility. It is he who repeatedly instigates internal struggles among the Dukes of Qi State. At the same time, he is also responsible for Zhishi's subsequent annexation of the territory of Qi State except Donglai.

Zhishi originally planned to meet all the conditions, that is, it is best to complete the second five-year plan before implementing the annexation of Qiguo.

However, plans don't always come as quickly as changes.

At present, all classes have abandoned Jiang's surname and Lu family, and asked the Zhi family to quickly bring them under the rule.

Regarding the annexation of the territory of Qi State except Donglai, Zhong Xingyin desperately hopes to complete it before his death, and clearly reports to Zhiyao.

Today, Zhiyao convened the core clan to talk about the annexation of Qi.

Before the topic really starts, Zhiyao needs to understand the situation of the fiefdoms in each region. Among them, the newly annexed areas such as Qiuyou, Zhongshan, and Weidi are the most important. Once the Qi State is annexed, which places can take out how many people to migrate to Qidi.

Zhiyao asked Expo Road to finish the introduction, and then said: "You can speak freely!"

There is no such title as "Zhujun" now, and it is not a mistake in the use of words. The main reason is that Zhiyao needs to disclose some core plans to the tribe.

For example, Liguo!
From fiefdom to population, to technological strength and productivity, Lao Zhijia is actually far stronger than most vassal states.

Just how powerful it is, it's not that they stay behind closed doors all year round. As members of the Zhi clan, they can actually gain a deep understanding from their daily social interactions.

how to say?Because they are members of the Zhi clan, even if they are not so arrogant and domineering, the people they associate with will be more courteous.

The most powerful thing to show is military force. Not to mention the repeated victories of Lao Zhi's family, the army's equipment looks extremely sophisticated.

Zhiyao glanced at the clansmen present, feeling rather helpless in her heart.

Most of the older generation of clansmen are mediocre, and the good thing is that they didn't mess around with things, but being mediocre means that they are sorry for their background.

Ordinary people are mediocre.

Born in a wealthy family, no matter how mediocre his abilities appear, it is actually a kind of original sin.

The reason is not difficult to understand, the family business is too big, and outsiders are peeping all the time, they can't help much, which is tantamount to a drag.

Zhiyao turned her eyes to her peers sitting in the back row, and felt some comfort in her heart.

There are still a group of talents from the descendants of Laozhi's family, among which Zhongxingqi, Cheng Wu, Zhilin, and Zhiying are the most outstanding, but they are still a little immature.

However, it doesn't really matter, as long as there is plasticity, Lao Zhi's family has plenty of stages for them to practice, and there are still resources that can be cultivated.

After Zhiyao started to arrange, the second generation has already emerged talents, and if we continue to pay attention to education, the third generation in the future is still worth looking forward to.

"Masters." Zhiyao greeted for the second time.

This time, it could be considered that someone noticed something wrong with the address.

Cheng Wu was both puzzled and persuasive, and said cautiously: "Zizi, don't speak the name of gentleman."

What Zhiyao wanted was someone to respond, saying: "Yao heard that there is a monarch in Chu State, and he bestowed a fiefdom, so that he can be feudal and become the ruler of the territory."

Bai Gongsheng is presiding over this matter.

The civil war in Chu State was still raging, and a large number of families were wiped out, but the land and subjects were allocated to the clans who were willing to cooperate, and the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families received the most preferential treatment.

Because the center had lost control of the local area for a long time, neither Chu Junzhang nor Bai Gongsheng had a way to take a large amount of land under their jurisdiction, and could only reward the public clans of the central faction wantonly.

In this way, the "monarch system" of Chu State was officially taken out.

Now the newly born feudal monarch needs support from the central government. Generally speaking, it is still a kind of help to the central government. In line with the truth that no matter how good the system is, it will be broken one day. At present, it seems that it can greatly strengthen the central power of Chu State. It is not surprising that the descendants of the feudal monarchs became the gravediggers of Chu State.

After hearing Zhiyao's introduction, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The ability of the older generation may be mediocre, and people will inevitably become more sensitive to interests after living for a long time.

Fu Guo was very surprised and asked: "The eldest son sits and watches Zhao Wuxie usurp the country, and the Chen family restores the country, is this the plan?"

The Chu State once again started feudalism, and they became kings internally, so they had the basis for feudalism again.

If the Zhi family also wants to have its own monarch, it is clear that the patriarch needs to go further, at least to become a monarch, right?

Listening to what Zhiyao expressed, becoming the king of a country is just the beginning, and one day he will be king like Chu and Wu. Only in that way can feudalism be carried out in a legitimate way.

The clansmen who were not so sure were completely stunned after hearing Fuguo's question.

Zhishen was also shocked.

Zhiyao didn't communicate with Zhishen beforehand, so she made such a statement suddenly.

It's not that Zhiyao doesn't want to communicate with Zhishen, it's just that she knows that it's hard to get Zhishen to agree with communication alone.

In similar communication, Zhiyao has expressed or hinted at Zhishen several times, and Zhishen expressed his opposition every time.

The current situation does not allow Zhi Shi to have no lofty goals, just being a courtier is actually a danger to Zhi Shi.

Why do you say that?To put it bluntly, it is still the truth that if the name is not right, the words are not right, and the life is also in the hands of others.This is the reason why the power ministers either became rebels or were set up to kill in the end. The main reason was that they were too strong, so strong that they could advance and never retreat. Once they retreated, the whole family would die without a place to die.

Zhiyao looked at Zhishen with some distress, and waited for the other party to show a forced smile before standing up and explaining the situation facing the family.

In fact, it was the above reasons that made Lao Zhi's family unable to go on the road of being a courtier.

Another option?Continuing to maintain the status of a minister of the Jin Kingdom, one day either a certain monarch will liquidate the descendants of the Zhi family, or continue to fight with other noble families. There will be no third possibility.

In order for Zhishen and the rest of the tribe to have a deeper understanding, Zhiyao reviewed the extinct or expelled or extinct Qing families in Jin State, and explained in detail why the Qing families repeatedly broke out fierce battles.

Of course, it's not that there will be no enemies after the founding of the Zhi family, it's just that the operations from the higher-ups will be eliminated. No matter what enemies there are, they will be in the face, and the goal of fighting with them will be clearer.

Most of the time, Zhiyao is talking, and occasionally someone will ask questions.

Gradually, the cognition reached a consensus...or they were attracted by Zhiyao's idea of ​​building a country, and they also agreed with the view that helping others to work is not as promising as fighting for their own foundation.

In the back, Zhishen was thinking all the time, and had to admit Zhiyao's point of view that being a courtier could not avoid facing the end of two paths.

"It seems that there is really no way to retreat? My family is weak, and other families will rush forward. It has always remained strong, and the former Zhao family is the future Zhi family." Zhishen did not forget how Jin Jinggong killed the Zhao family.

Zhiyao didn't speak so clearly and thoroughly to Zhishen before.

In fact, Zhiyao didn't think carefully, but wanted to continue to operate, and then use her tyrannical strength to create established facts.

To put it more harshly, Zhiyao really wanted to wait until Zhishen had a posthumous title, and Lao Zhi's family was left to be the master of justice, before realizing those plans one by one.

Now the state of Qi is coming to an end much earlier than expected, and it is in a crisis situation where it will be even more troublesome if it is not "accepted" immediately.

With those changes, Zhiyao realized that it was time to unify internal thinking, and Liguo had entered the necessary preparation stage.
