I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 554

As long as the country and the country are familiar enough, almost everything will become a clear card, and the space for maneuvering is squeezed to a minimum.

Because the original country is strong, there must be more countries or forces that study the original country. The problem is that researches come and go, and the effect is more to reduce losses, and it cannot reach the level of turning things around.

The truth is quite simple. For example, Chu State knew that the decisive battle would definitely start, and knew that the original army going south would not be less than 50, and even guessed that it would be Zhiyao's own conquest, but so what?At most, they would gather troops no less than those of the original country and try their best to resist.

Zhao Wuji also knew what Zhiyao's intentions were. After struggling for so long, after careful consideration and weighing, he finally just wanted to prove himself once, and then follow Zhiyao's vision to follow the future path.

It's not that they don't want to change, it's that they have too few cards in their hands, and they can't play with Zhiyao's Wang Bo.

Zhiyao didn't have an overall advantage from the beginning. He had a clearer goal than anyone else, and he pursued the goal step by step to plan and work hard. It took nearly 30 years to let himself win the king bomb.

How many 30 years can a life have?It is a luxury for most people to live for 30 years in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, and even fewer people can live a happy life.

After some inspections in Qindi, Zhiyao didn't experience indifference, but the local people are really not as enthusiastic as those in Jindi, and generally speaking, they don't see much resentment.

In fact, it is also true, what should they do under the rule of Qin Ting, waiting to become under the rule of the original country, life is not worse, and even better.

People who were originally under Qin Ting's rule, because of some emotions, they would not show much enthusiasm, and to be honest, they didn't have any hatred.

Before, the national war was a game for the nobles. Ordinary Li Shu had no qualifications to be soldiers at all. Wars generally would not affect them. Personally, there was really no deep hatred.

No relatives died in the war of annihilating the country, and life is getting better day by day. Why do the older generation resist the rule of Zhi Shi?
For the new generation, even if they heard about Qin Ting’s contemporaries in the past, most of them were a comparison with the current quality of life. They often heard from the elders that they would not dare to drink thick porridge under Qin Ting’s rule. Look at yourself The life when I was growing up, it is inevitable to compare the rule of Qin Ting with the current life.

The improvement of the quality of life is one thing, and more importantly, enlisting in the army is no longer a game for nobles and lords, they have also received that kind of treatment.

In many dynasties, being a soldier was not a good thing, and even an extremely humiliating thing.

In the pre-Qin, Western Han, Eastern Han, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, and Tang, being a member of the army was not only an honor, but also a channel for advancement. It is really not that anyone can become a soldier if he wants to.

There is a contrast in everything, and there are really practical benefits, and the senses are absolutely different.

Therefore, even if it was for the future of their children, the old people in Qin land resisted the Zhi clan's rule because they were stupid.The new generation will not feel too much, they take it for granted, and try their best to fight for it under the urging of their elders.

"The land of Qin is still too vast and sparsely populated, and the further west it becomes, the more desolate it becomes."

"It's your majesty's intention to move the population to the west?"

"This matter is not urgent, you can leave it with the prince."

"..."

Calculated according to the area, Zhiyao and others have not yet entered Longxi County, and are located in Yong County.

This "Yong" refers to the former capital of Qin State, and their former capital has also become the county guard's mansion.

There is also Longxi County in Yuan Country, but it is currently a huge county with only two cities, and more of them are nomadic and grazing tribes. The total population does not exceed 5, making it the county with the smallest population among the counties in Yuan Country.

Because mobile grazing is the main means of livelihood, Yuanguo's rule over Longxi County is mainly centered on the two cities. It does not rely on administrative orders to rule, but in fact it controls daily necessities and uses trade to maintain some rule.

The truth is quite simple, grazing also needs to eat food, salt, cloth, ironware, copperware, etc. are indispensable. They do not have the conditions to produce by themselves, and rely on livestock or fur in exchange. Once they leave the support of the original country, life may not be easy How much better is life than those alien races.

Human nature is to pursue a better life. If things that we are accustomed to suddenly disappear, even if it does not lead to the inability to survive, people will still feel extremely unaccustomed, and even develop mental illness.

This method has been used until more than 2000 years later, but the way it is used seems to be wrong?

The place Zhiyao went to was called "Chencang", and it is still a very small city.

Historically, "Chen Cang" has always been one of the important grain reserves of the Qin State. It's not that "Chen Cang" itself is rich in agricultural production. It mainly transports grain from Bashu to "Chen Cang" for storage, and then takes it out as military supplies when needed. fodder.

Before it was not "Eight Hundred Li Qinchuan", Qin State relied heavily on the grain from Bashu, which not only played an emergency role every time, but also maintained the stability of the grain price of the largest basic plate.

Before that, Yuan Guo was looking for a passage to enter Hanzhong near Chencang according to Zhiyao's reminder, and he found one in the southwest of "Chencang" and another near Xieshui.

The passage that can be built in the front is called "Old Road" in history, and the one behind is called "Baoxie Road".

In fact, if you look for it from Longxi County, you can still find the passage to enter Shu, but it seems too far away, even if the road to Shu is better, it is related to military operations.

Once it is a military operation, the number of people involved will be very large, and the daily consumption will be a very exaggerated figure. The longer the supply line, the more the consumption will be during transportation. How can it be possible to look far away because it is difficult to travel?

Naturally, there is no shadow of the "Old Road" or "Baoxie Road" at present, and the exploration of the two places that can be used as passages is still in progress.

The plan submitted below is more inclined to the "Old Road" passage, because there are not only rivers on the other side of the oblique water, but also the local Baogu Ridge, which makes it more difficult to build the passage.

Zhiyao came here to see for herself what the "old roads" that have not been built look like. Seeing the poor mountains everywhere with her own eyes, she began to doubt whether it is worthwhile to build plank roads here.

The reason why the Qin State built the "Old Road" and "Baoxie Road" in history was that they were trapped in Guanzhong, and there was no other way to enter Bashu.

The original country is different. In addition to entering Bashu from Qin, you can also choose other directions.

"To build such a plank road, there will inevitably be many casualties, and the difficulty of the project is unimaginable." Zhiyao looked at the layers of mountains and expressed such feelings.

Zhikuan blinked his eyes, expressing his confusion.

Those nobles whose fiefdoms are in the Qin land definitely hope to build a channel to enter Bashu in the Qin land, so that the products of Bashu can pass through the Qin land. On the one hand, they have priority in obtaining the products of Bashu, and there are more benefits as a commercial road passing through.

Yuanguo has already controlled the land of Shangyu, even if it needs to go through many difficulties and dangers to enter Badi there, the problem is that once it enters Hanzhong, it will be much easier to go deeper.

Zhiyao kept thinking, thinking: "I remember that the battle between Wei and Shu at the end of the Three Kingdoms period was mostly focused on the Hanzhong County? At that time, Wei and Shu often dispatched more than [-] troops to fight in that area. A large number of troops means that the road has been developed."

Since it was like that in the Three Kingdoms period, doesn't it mean that as long as you find the right direction, Yuanguo can also open a convenient passage into Hanzhong according to local conditions?
What Zhiyao ignored or didn't know at all was that Wei State and Shu State had repeatedly confronted each other in Hanzhong County, and the "Chen Cang" in Qin Land was also a very important point of contention.

However, without the development and maintenance of those plank roads in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, it seems that the "Chen Cang" at the entrance and exit of the plank road is no longer so important?
Zhiyao is more aware that if there is only a single entrance and exit to an area that is already difficult to enter and exit, it will be difficult to maintain its rule over the area.

reason?Block that single entrance and exit, and you can directly make the local area a kingdom by itself.

For the current original country, it doesn't matter whether the access channels to Bashu are diverse, but finding the best way to save time is the most important thing.

"Where is Ziwu Valley?" Zhiyao began to regret that she didn't take the geography class seriously.

Among the many passages from Qindi to Hanzhong, the Ziwu Road is actually the most suitable route for the army to pass through, but not only does it need to climb mountains and ridges again and again, the lushness of the plants is beyond imagination.

The problem is that it is safer to just cut down trees than to build plank roads.

"When Li Tang built the plank road in Central Shu, the biggest accident seems to be that more than 5 people died?" Zhiyao found this historical fragment in her mind.

Ba State did not provide the casualty data of the construction of the plank road, but Zhikai saw the resentment of the people of Badi towards the "Ba" capital during his life in Badi.

Building a channel can make the whole country boil, can you guess what Ba Guo paid for building the plank road?

It has been four months since the original army invaded the Kingdom of Shu, but the information Zhiyao got was two to three months apart.

In other words, what Zhiyao knows has basically been two or three months, which is tantamount to useless information.

In Zhiyao's latest information, Yuan Jun was trapped by a river.

That river is called Mian Shui, and it's not a long river system. What's terrible is that there are steep mountains on both sides, and the river is still very fast.

The original army tried to send a small number of people to cross the river several times, but no matter how good the water is, it is still difficult to swim across with a rope. If you use a raft, you will float far downstream. The length of the rope is not enough, and it will be caught by the trees along the way. live.

When the original army was trapped on the east bank of Mianshui, it is fortunate that the "Chengdu" side did not know that there was a large army attacking, otherwise Chen Bing would be directly on the west bank of Mianshui, and the original army would become even more desperate to cross Mianshui. Difficult.

The distance is really too far, and there is no means of instant communication, so Zhiyao can only choose to trust the general and school, and not to intervene to increase the pressure.

Speaking of means of communication, Zhiyao had ordered the training of pigeons a long time ago, and the results were good, but most of the released pigeons could not reach their destination safely.

It is the late Spring and Autumn period, and the wild is dominated by all kinds of animals. The number of raptors that can fly is very scary, and many raptors even hunt pigeons for food.

Engage in the communication method of flying pigeons to send books?If it is really possible to use it effectively at any time, the past dynasties have long engaged in special articles, why bother to design an expedited means of riding a horse for hundreds of miles.

Therefore, many methods that seem to have miraculous effects can really be used anytime and anywhere without patting the head, and the actual situation at the time must be taken into consideration.

The method of flying pigeons to pass on books mostly appears in martial arts novels, let alone serious "dramas", even if it is a more reliable crew, have you ever seen a screenwriter or director using it?

The idea of ​​"I am smarter than the ancients" is very undesirable!
Zhiyao’s idea of ​​trying flying pigeons to send letters comes from martial arts novels. After personally confirming that it is difficult to implement, she changed to place post stations on some major traffic routes. Although the speed of information transmission cannot be compared with flying, the problem is that it is definitely more reliable. .

They inspected the land of Qin, and the next return journey will pass through the land of Shang Yu, a little deliberately avoiding the former Wangji area, and entering the land of Zheng for a new round of inspections.

When passing through the land of Shangyu, Zhiyao obviously found that the development here was faster than that of Qin. A large amount of land reclamation began. Thanks to the convenience brought by Luoshui, there is no shortage of irrigation water.

In another 30 to [-] years, it may not be necessary to deliberately build too large water conservancy projects, but only need the local people to dig canals spontaneously, and the once extremely barren "Land of San Rong" will become a land of fish and rice.

In the original history, the State of Qin did not manage this area too much. During the period of Qin II's era of the agglomeration of heroes, three-tenths of the food and fodder consumed to support the Zhang Han Army came from the local area.

If we want to say that there can be abundant output without further development efforts, the "land making" area of ​​Zhengdi cannot be left behind.

Approaching the middle of summer, Zhiyao entered Zhengdi and came to the "Zhitian" side, and she found it pleasing to the eye at first glance.

On the vast plains, the crops everywhere are almost ready to be harvested, and some rice fields can even catch fish.

What the hell?Are there fish in the rice fields? ? ?

People in Zheng Di planted rice from Chu State. Fish in the rice fields may not necessarily be due to human intervention, but may be because they entered the fields with the running water during irrigation.

There is such a thing, because the local government of Li Tang banned the killing of carp, the carp in the Li Tang period was almost flooded, and there was no shortage of carp in the fields of some rice farming areas.

In fact, the Li Tang royal family did not strictly prohibit the killing of carp. The magistrates made troubles on their own, and the general public lost a delicacy on the table.

Before, Zhiyao went to Qin, which caused panic in Yiqu and Zhao Daiguo.

Now, Zhiyao's inspection team entered Zhengdi, which immediately caused a great reaction from Chu State.

At the place where Wu and Yue meet, the battle between the original army and the Chu army has never stopped.

Zhiyao's inspection team entered Zhengdi, and Chu State's reaction was to hold a meeting!
