I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 428 May Decide Whether You Can Become the First Emperor
Presenting the facts and being reasonable, there are really too many things that Zhiyao needs to pay attention to.

In addition, Zhiyao needs to be more careful if she doesn't want her head to be turned into a wine glass.

In the final analysis, the main reason is that the timing is wrong!

Counting it, the Zhi Clan's strategy for Qiguo lasted for nearly ten years, but the actual implementation of the merger took no more than three years.

Qi State is a country with a long history, and they have had their own brilliance. It is inevitable that some people will miss Jiang's Lu family.

Now, as long as the nobles are dealt with, the rest of the classes don't need to worry too much.

To put it bluntly, other classes other than the nobles have no ideas of their own, and they need a "mentor" to tell them how much rights they have and how to fight for them.

Zhiyao borrowed from the Tian family... The Chen family with the surname of Gui solved most of the nobles in the Qi country, and the Zhi family solved another group. It is really impossible to guarantee whether there will be any nobles in the Qi country who will not be reconciled.

Then, it is not a question of whether it is necessary to leave the necessary force control and maintain the stability of the land, but it is a necessary precaution, both for the thinking nobles of Qi State or the Chen family of Donglai.

Originally, Zhiyao's conquest of Lu State was to attract the coalition forces to fight in Lu, but the Chu State as the leader of the alliance is different from other countries!

Once, the state of Chu used the conquest of the state of Chen to force the state of Jin to go south to fight in Chen.

At that time, the state of Jin, as the leader of the alliance, knew that it would be bad for itself to go to Chendi to fight, so the Jin army still chose to go south to Chendi to fight the Chu army.Although there is the self-confidence of the Jin State that is not afraid of things, why not be forced to succeed by the Chu State?
Zhiyao's plot failed, and the battlefield became the territory of Song State, which was close to Zheng State.

In this place, anything that happens can be spread to other places faster, which is a kind of advantage and disadvantage for the new original country.

Now, Zhiyao can't deal with the coalition of princes headed by Chu at all, and needs to take care of the Wei family and the possible rebellion of the nobles of the Qi country, the Chen family of the surname, and even the Qin country and the grassland. .

Under that current situation, it's hard not to let Zhiyao be in a state of restraint!
Fortunately, Zhiyao's nearly 30 years have not been wasted, at least making Zhiyao strong enough.

"Newly tune the second 'teacher'." Zhiyao said.

Sun Wu responded immediately, saying: "Our army is fully equipped with armor and weapons, and there are many kinds of equipment. The only way to guarantee food is to guarantee it, and there are no other worries!"

One thing must be understood!
There are two types of troops in the original country, one is the standing army, and the other is the troops recruited by traditional methods.

If there are no special circumstances, the original country only needs to be responsible for the weapons and equipment of the standing army and the supply of food and fodder.

The rest of the nobles or soldiers who are receiving the Fu, they are armed by themselves, and they also need to carry and supply their own food.

Under the normal payment of taxes, the combatants pay taxes by participating in the battle, which is called "blood tax" in Western terms.

On Zhuxia's side, there is a time limit for accepting gifts, usually once a year, no more than four months at a time.If it is more than four months, they can use the weapons and equipment belonging to the state for free and eat the food drawn from the state treasury under the special circumstances of overdue payment of taxes.

So how should the consumption within the normal allowance range be maintained?The people who pay the Fu, they may bring one or more followers to supplement the food. These followers are arranged to return to their hometowns, and after collecting the supplies, they go to a certain place to gather and come back to the master who made the Fu edge; armor or weapon damage?Spend money and find a craftsman in the military camp to repair it at other costs.

It's not that the original country is special, it's just the same thing in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Until the late Warring States Period, in Qin State, which had the strongest coordination ability, the soldiers still had to arm themselves, and the army provided basic protection according to the title. If the title is not enough, if you want to have better equipment or eat better, spending money is the way to buy it. one.

Some archaeological documents can prove the above point of view. For example, during his service, Heifu repeatedly wrote home asking for clothes and money, crying that if his family didn’t send them, he would starve to death if he didn’t freeze to death.

Compared with other countries..., or before turning the family into a country, Zhishi can be said to be much better than each family or country for all classes!
Zhiyao provided loans with low interest rates to all walks of life. At the beginning, it was mainly for the relatively poor income groups, and hoped that these people could maintain uniform equipment.

Later, the number of groups owning their own land on Zhishi's side increased again and again, and loans for the purchase of animal power, seeds, and farm tools appeared.

The truth is, of course, all parties engaged in lending are in the best interest of Zhishi, and it is not a group that really needs it.As long as the interest rate is not too high, or there are too many bad debts, it can be said to be a healthy complement, right?

If finances allow, Zhiyao will continue to borrow money.It's not for making a lot of money from it, it's just for quickly increasing the overall national strength.

The operation of relying on borrowing to strengthen the country has been done by France. Later, because of the disappearance of Tsarist Russia, it was also miserable for France; the United States is actually a country that relies on credit to maintain its economy. Once there is a problem with credit, the economic crisis will come. Think other countries Is there no similar situation?How is it possible!Countries buy each other's national debt, allow credit card issuance, indiscriminate loans, and even the proliferation of online loans. There are so many problems!

Zhiyao understands the truths that should be understood. After the arrival of the Warring States Period in advance, families or countries that have the strength to engage in loan business will be cut off, and they will only engage in high-interest loans.

Now, in addition to the cavalry, the infantry of the original army has a [-]% armored rate, and there is even a surplus of armor prepared by them personally or by the country.

A fully armored army, do you know how terrifying it is in the era of cold weapons?
From the comparison of the casualties caused by Zhishi's battles with the enemy in the past, we can see the advantage of having more soldiers in armor.

This time, in what seemed to be a fierce battle, the death toll of the original infantry was less than [-] in two days.

So, after understanding some of Zhiyao's worries, Sun Tzu came up with the conclusion that it would be enough to transfer two more "divisions" to the battlefield. It is enough for the "division" to carry out reinforcements.

So, Yuanguo wanted to use 15 cavalry and [-] chariots and infantry to fight against the coalition forces that might number more than [-]?

"The state of Chu also has difficulties. However, in order to save the monarch, there must be one hundred thousand soldiers, or perhaps one hundred and twenty thousand. The rest of the princes fought against me because they were under coercion. All countries must have many excuses to come to help the few Also." Sun Wu said.

In fact, the problems that Yuan country is facing now are also things that Chu country also needs to solve.

The internal rebellion of Chu State has not been completely suppressed, and the rebellious nobles will counterattack because of the war between Chu State and Yuan State.

At the same time, the state of Wu lost its leadership, but their middle and upper classes in various places are still alive.There may be no one who can convince the crowd to fully utilize the remaining power, and local coordinated counterattacks or self-protection can always be achieved.

In that way, those remnants of Wu who can see hope again will threaten Chu, and they will definitely restrain some of Chu's troops and energy.

There are also various problems or problems that need to be faced or solved, and the Yuan country and the Chu country can be regarded as the same.

"I have an extra Han family here... Maybe including the Hu family and the Zhong family, the unstable factors are more serious than Chu." Zhi Yao subconsciously glanced at Han Hu, Zhong Wu and Hu You.

Don't blame Zhiyao for being suspicious, there is nothing wrong with being careful!

The situation of besieging the coalition forces was completed. The original army just shot arrows and threw stones every day. Occasionally, a melee force would advance, forcing the coalition forces to gather troops to be shot or smashed.

This style of play is so fresh that the princes and ministers of all countries don't know how to fight it.

The coalition forces fight out?If you can successfully break through, you will not stay where you are and get shot or smashed.

The feudal lords were very afraid of another storm, thinking that if it happened again, they would all be accounted for here. The monarch let the nobles disperse and restrain their subordinates, and the vassals of the nobles went down to the grassroots to maintain stability, but it showed results.

From "soldiers" to "disciples", or brought entourages, auxiliary soldiers, etc., they have different objects of allegiance. As long as the objects of allegiance do not collapse, they will be controlled more powerfully, even if there are a few Personal collapse will be suppressed soon.

In this era of "princes and generals have seeds", most groups seem to be very ignorant. Because they lack channels to obtain knowledge, they are repeatedly indoctrinated with some ideas, which is indeed very ignorant.

"May the Song State join the war?" This question was raised by the princes or subjects of both sides.

So far, even though the war broke out in Song State, Song State still belongs to the neutral side.

While Song State expressed its neutrality, they recovered the cities previously occupied by Wu State.

God knows if the Song Kingdom will occupy more cities that originally belonged to the Wu Kingdom after they take back the cities, or they will do something altogether.

"Send envoys, if Song doesn't help me, don't let them attack me." The same words were said successively from Yuan Junyao and Chu Junzhang.

"Sending people to Chu (Original) to lure them into rebellion and struggle will not make them safe!" The two monarchs of Yuan State and Chu State said the same thing again.

The confrontation between two countries, especially the confrontation between big countries, faces similar situations, and some routines do not need to be taught.

What makes Chu Junzhang more difficult than Zhiyao now is that he is the one under siege.

In addition, the king and ministers of the Chu Kingdom discovered that the dominant Yuan army did not work hard to attack the camp, and also let go of several groups of their own troops who did not have the ability to break through. How could they not guess that the Yuan Kingdom wanted them to transfer troops from the country?
Fortunately, Chu Junzhang is not the king of the Communist Party of Chu, and the times have really changed.

Otherwise, if Chu Junzhang went out of the camp with a bicycle to block the original army, and then let the Chu army return to the country, maybe he would be as successful as the Chu Communist King?
At the beginning, the original army also shot arrows and threw stones at the camp where the Vietnamese army was located, but it stopped after seven days.

All the crossbowmen and equipment-operating reinforcements turned against the Chu army, so that the kings and ministers of the Chu state knew that the rulers and ministers of the original state were exercising tricks, but it still deepened the opinions of the kings and ministers of the Chu state against the Yue state.

"I know that Chu State and Yue State are competitors in the future, and they also know it well. Doing so will most likely make Chu State win over Yue State even more, but don't forget that Gou Jian is definitely not a person who is willing to be subordinated to others." Zhi Yao will be like The idea told several confidantes.

The Chu State reinforcements they were waiting for had already set off, numbering about 12.

At the same time, Zhiyao received a report that the cavalry of the Zhao family who disappeared on the battlefield first went to the territory of Zheng State, and then detoured to Man's family. It is very likely that they will join up with the Qin army that is about to go east, and then participate in the attack on the west of the original country.

It has been two months since Zhiyao besieged the coalition forces in Song State.

The season has come to late autumn, no matter how fast the reinforcements from all sides are, this year will be another season for soldiers from both sides to suffer in winter?

With the situation at this point, Yuanguo is facing a real challenge after the founding of the country, which will actually determine whether Zhiyao can sweep Yunei before her own death!
