Chapter 924 Determination
Chapter 924 Determination
The two parties have been arguing for a long time and both have reasons, so it is difficult to decide.
Qihou thought for a long time, and wanted to send someone to inquire about the attitude of the next three parties.
Qin, Zhao, and Sishang.
I went to Sishang to test the official attitude of the Mohists, and tested the idea of uniting the states that had been pending seven years ago into Kyushu.
This is not to say that Qi Guo has this intention, but to see what the Mo family thinks.
After all, if countries send troops to intervene in Sishang, they will either not do it, or if they do, they will do it absolutely.
The prerequisite for countries to send troops to intervene is whether the grievances between Qin and the Three Jins can be discussed?
If we talk about it, Qin will definitely want all of Xihe as a condition, can Sanjin agree?
It wasn't Qin who supported the Mohists' policies, and the two sides scolded each other all day, and it didn't take a day or two. The problem is that the Mohist rises and dies the slowest is Qin, so Qin has a lot of leverage.
Nanzheng is indeed not far from Xianyang, the new capital of Qin State, but it is difficult for the Qin army to cross the Qinling Mountains to attack Nanzheng, and it is also difficult for Nanzheng to cross the Qinling Mountains to attack Qin State.
If the state of Qin were to be destroyed, all countries in the east would have cut off sacrifices, and the grass on the ancestral temple would grow three feet high.
Although Qihou Shan is not a hero, he still understands some situations in his heart.
Once countries intervene, if Sishang cannot be wiped out and the Mohists are completely eradicated, then Qi will bear the brunt of great retaliation in the future.
Seeing this state of Wei, there is no hope for decades, and if Sishang is defeated, Qin and Zhao will expand.
The foundations of Qin and Zhao are one in Weishui and the other in Hebei, but Qi is different.
In the war between Wu and Yue in the past, it took 20 years for Yue to recuperate and destroy Wu in one battle; how can the Mohism be compared with Yue?If the Mo family cannot be completely strangled and killed, once the Mo family has recovered, how long will it take for the princes to come to their rescue?
Therefore, in the fifth month of internal quarrels in the Qi State, the Marquis of Qi sent three waves of envoys to Handan, Xianyang, and Pengcheng respectively to test the attitudes of all parties and make a favorable decision.
…………
Xianyang, the new capital of Qin State.
The elderly Wu Qi was lying on the bed, suffering from serious illness and dying of old age.
Qin Jun knelt aside, looking at this old minister in his dying years, feeling sad.
Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, and those who are good at planning have no great reputation.
Qin Jun understands this truth very well. After this incomparable man who was once famous in the world and raised [-] teachers, he who cannibals and cooks bones has no heart to turn against the North, and won the West River in the first battle, and then won the Great Liang in the first battle, after he came to the Qin State, It seems that they did not lead the army to fight a shocking battle.
But his contribution is far greater than when he was in Wei.
Going out and entering the prime minister, reforming the law and trying to become stronger, in the past ten years, the Qin State has an army that only obeys the king's orders, well-trained and strictly disciplined.
In the Battle of Xihe, the old scholar had already said that the state of Wei had been weakened by the Mohists. Many ministers of the state of Qin could lead troops to defeat the state of Wei, but he could not lead the troops himself because of his oath back then. Attacking Wei Wuzu who had been trained by him.
Wu Qi was busy allowing Qin to develop westward, stabilizing production, opening up land, recruiting soldiers, and acquiring horses.
During the years when Qin State opened up to the west, it never fought a big battle involving tens of thousands of people.
Muskets, stirrups, iron armor, iron, discipline, improved defensive tactics in vehicle warfare, high-yielding crops such as potatoes and corn... Qin's westward development is almost flat all the way, and one or two thousand cavalry can chase tens of thousands of primitive tribes and flee. .
None of this is a big achievement that can shock the world.
In this mediocrity, Qin State built four new counties, gathered more than [-] people, expanded arable land by one million mu, and pushed its power and reclamation policy to the surrounding area of Zhuyeze.
Daze, ranked among the top three in the world at this time, is located near Wuwei in later generations, and it is also an important water source for the development of the Hexi Corridor in later generations.
The people of Qin cultivated fields here, recruited nomadic people to reclaim wasteland and planted. With the trade in the west, this place gradually became prosperous, and it also became the advance base of Qin State's westward advance, and became the westernmost area where Qin State actually controlled and effectively ruled.
Some tribes further west also began to surrender to Qin, not daring to move lightly, allowing Qin to deploy more population and troops to expand eastward.
All this is unsung work.
At this time, the veterans who have made these unknown achievements are already exhausted.
"The world is in chaos, what can General Qin do?"
When Qin Jun asked this question, Wu Qi asked back: "Your Majesty, you know what is so difficult in the battle to destroy Chu?"
This is exactly what Qin Jun wants to know. Although Qin won the battle with Wei, it seems that it is extremely difficult to destroy Wei in one battle.
However, the Mohists defeated Chu and pacified Jianghan in one battle, which made Qin Jun extremely worried. I wondered if the strength gap between the two sides had already reached this level?
Qin's new army uses a system similar to that of Chu's new army. Although Qin has an ingenious flint gun, this flint gun is too heavy to be equipped with a spearhead and used as a short spear. Therefore, Qin's army still adopts A mix of musketeers and spearmen.
It's just because this kind of flint gun is heavy and clumsy, but it can be arranged extremely densely compared with the matchlock guns that cannot get too close, making the firepower several times stronger than the matchlock guns.
So Qin used the spearman as an auxiliary, replacing the heavy flint musket of the Qin crossbow as the main output in history, the stirrup cavalry covered the two wings, and adopted the tactics of spearman defense and cover musketeer output cavalry flank assault.
The battle of Xihe was full of power, but it still took a hard fight to win. As for the subsequent capture of the entire territory of Wei State, it seemed a bit out of reach.
In contrast, the result of the Mohists' defeat of Chu in the first battle made Qin Jun very nervous, which was related to Qin's subsequent strategic decisions.
Seeing Qin Jun's solemn expression, Wu Qi coughed a few times and forced out a smile, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
"The power of the ministers of the Chu State, the selfishness of the emperor, and the coup d'état just started. With Sishang's military strength and training, we can raise [-] troops to destroy Chu. From my point of view, there are no fewer than ten people in Sishang who can do this."
"Don't say that Sishang is the land of Qin. If you replace Sishang with six fingers and destroy Chu, there will be no fewer than ten people who can win the battle. The matter of destroying Chu has been expected since the beginning of the war."
"Chu and Wei are different."
"Wei has reformed, the monarchy is centralized, there are fewer monarchs and less power, the people are organized into small groups, and the Xihe River is precipitous and they fight in the field. Although they can't win against Qin, they still have a unified government."
"Destroying Wei is extremely difficult. But once all the main field forces of Wei are defeated, it will be extremely easy to destroy Wei, and it will be difficult to restore the country. Xihe will become a county of Qin in an instant."
"The state of Chu...is too heavily enfeoffed. If it is defeated in one battle, the country can be destroyed. However, after it is destroyed, it may be easy to restore the country, and it is difficult to rule."
"The difficulty of destroying Chu lies not in destroying it, but in governing it. In the past, Wu and Chu fought against Chu and destroyed the country. What's the use of recovering after the first battle?"
These words reassured Qin Jun a little, it sounds like the gap between the two sides is not so big that there is a separation between heaven and man.
When Wu Qi was in Wei State, he fought against Chu State once. That time he directly captured Daliang and killed a lot of lords. From Wu Qi’s point of view, Chu State’s military system, he can really do it. Thousands of people will destroy Chu.
Therefore, the reform of Chu State has not changed in recent years. After the Mohists defeated the navy army of Yue State, they suddenly attacked Chu from the west. Wu Qi had already concluded that Chu State was over.
When the Mo family destroyed Chu, they dispatched nearly [-] elite field soldiers, which Wu Qi was very envious of.
The state of Qin is too poor. Even though the reforms have been made in the past few years, the land and climate cannot be changed by reforms.
With the development of agriculture, people are hungry and full, but the limit of productivity is there.
Wu Qi could only sigh bitterly about the news that Sishang frequently dispatched [-] or [-] troops.
The [-] standing army hanged and beat [-] peasant soldiers, which Wu Qi had already deduced. In the previous battles, [-] troops were often dispatched, but this may only be able to fight [-] to [-], and the rest are just logistics and civilians.
Fortunately, Qin State was able to open up westward and monopolize the trade in the extreme west, so that it will be able to support a standing army of [-] to [-] people. Such a large-scale, disciplined and capable army can be organized and armed at any time.
Wu Qi comforted Qin Jun, but after the relief, there was something that had to be made clear.
"Your Majesty already knows that the state of Chu is easy to defeat but not easy to rule. But this time the Mohists obviously prepared more than ten years in advance in order to destroy Chu. A large number of Mohists are proficient in Chu language. Once they entered Chu, they immediately set up counties and changed the land. , and that's what's scary about it."
"Your Majesty, if you have the opportunity to destroy Chu in one battle, can you quickly establish counties and counties in Chu to rule? Are there so many officials? Are there so many wealth and iron tools that can win the hearts of the people?"
Qin Jun was silent, and sighed: "Sishang is rich and prosperous, and the world knows it. Cotton cloth is dozens of times that of me, grain is ten times that of me, and iron is a hundred times that of me. These are incomparable."
"If you have a lot of wealth, you can set up schools so that everyone can be a scholar. This is not comparable to Qin's bitter cold."
"What's even more frightening is that his thoughts are meticulous. I'm afraid that the matter of destroying Chu has been decided more than ten years ago. Otherwise, how could he be able to rule if he can win the battle?"
Wu Qi also sighed and said: "The land of Jianghan belongs to Mo. After three to five years, with the financial and material resources of Sishang and the manpower of Jianghan, we can expand the army by another [-]. Who in the world can stop it?"
Qin Jun nodded and said: "I am also worried about this matter. The Mohist's ability to govern the country is far better than that of the princes. They are rich and rich, and the people who can read and write are the best in the world. If they win Chu, the world will belong to Mo."
"You mean, you must interfere with the Mohists? This is the last chance, isn't it?"
Wu Qi groaned, and said after a long time: "Your Majesty, it is a good plan to capture the Shang land. If the Shang land is not available, the Mohists can station troops in Shang, question Lantian, and go straight to the Weishui River. The Chu people are finished, and you can still capture the Shang land. Save Chu. If the Mohists are defeated in the future, they can go down from the land of Shang to Wan land in Nanyang."
"Your Majesty's words, the last chance, are true and not dangerous. If the Mohists cannot be resolved this time, and the Mohists cannot be forced to withdraw from Jianghan...Your Majesty, you can consider continuing the expedition westward to the far west. It’s a matter of enfeoffing the land as the king. If there is no big victory this time, within 20 years, the Mohist world will definitely be in the world.”
"Even if we win a big victory, it will take three generations of future generations to work hard, and we may be able to fight."
Qin Jun also had this intention in his heart. He already had calculations in his heart, and he was not going to continue to fight against Wei, and even carve up Wei State together with Qi and Zhao. Instead, he also wanted to contact the princes to suppress the expansion of the Mo family, even in terms of terrain. Qin is likely to be the last to be affected.
However, what Wu Qi said was not alarmist, but it made him worry again. With this remark, it seems that Wu Qi has no confidence in the princes working together to completely solve the entire Mohism.
