Double Daqin contrast, without contrast, there is no harm

Chapter 80: From the Branch to the County, Su Han’s Marriage!.

“Husband, there is news from Baiyue that Tianze has already raised a force in Dongou and is preparing to implement the policy of light taxation on equal fields, but the opposition is very loud!”

Flame Lingji said while giving Su Han a light hammer on the shoulder.

“It’s just a bunch of short-sighted profit-seekers!”

Su Han didn’t care at all.

The so-called Baiyue, in fact, is a general term for the tribes in the southern part of the Central Plains, which is somewhat similar to the Nanban in later generations, mainly distributed in the Wuyue region in the Spring and Autumn Period, and some of them fled into various countries after the destruction of the Yue Kingdom, typical is the 9898 Hanyue where Flame Lingji and Tianze are located

“Having said that, the various departments of Baiyue can maintain their existence, mainly the alliance against the enemy, if it is an internal division, wouldn’t it be more suitable for the Chu people?”

Flame Spirit Ji muttered.

“Being able to see this shows that my family’s Yan’er has indeed made great progress recently.”

“But Baiyue can survive, in fact, it is only because the Chu Kingdom is also chaotic, and it is all scattered sand!”

Su Han smiled and said, the seven heroes of the Warring States, no, now there are only six males left, only the State of Chu can be compared with the State of Qin in terms of population, and there are victories in the territory of the successive combinations, and most of the Chu State is the longitudinal alliance to cut down Qin, which is the most favorable proof.

However, the biggest difference between the State of Chu and the State of Qin is that the State of Qin has gradually adopted the county system in which all government decrees go out of Xianyang, and even if there are still a few people such as Lü Buwei and others who have fiefs, they are greatly restricted.

First, the fiefdom of the State of Qin was only awarded to the meritorious heroes themselves, and it was mainly the part of the region that these meritorious ministers themselves laid down for the Qin State, that is, the newly incorporated frontiers, which could be recovered at any time, such as during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the pottery land was given to Wei Ran, and later Wei Ran died, and the fief was recovered as a county, effectively avoiding the feudal monarch from sitting large; Second, the actual power of the feudal princes of the Qin state was also constantly reduced, and now they only owned part of the tax revenue of the fiefdom, and had no administrative power, let alone military power, which was roughly similar to the food yi of later generations.

And the State of Chu, many times, is even driving backwards; First of all, the fiefdom of the State of Chu is relatively casual, and there is no military merit title system with such strict assessment as the State of Qin, as long as it is a royal family or a favored courtier, it can obtain a fief.

For example, the altar of Chu Anling Jun, just because of his beauty and becoming the male favorite of King Chu Xuan, he was made a king, and the knighthood was far better than that of many veterans with great battle achievements, allowing Chu Guoxian to leave foreign countries in large quantities; Secondly, the fiefdoms of the State of Chu, unlike the frontiers of other countries, were all prosperous areas that were rewarded in the core areas, and the management was chaotic, and the feudal princes not only had administrative power and military power, but also posed a great threat to the royal capital.

Typical, such as the fiefdom of the Xiang clan [Surabaya County], has always had nearly 10,000 private soldiers, when the people of Chi only know that there is Xiang Tian and do not know that there is a king of Chu: the last and most outrageous, that is, the fiefdom of the State of Chu, can be hereditary, successive generations of seals, the royal family and the power monopoly, to the back, the king of Chu and even the decree can not leave the capital at all, marching and fighting must rely on the support of the magnates!

Taking the joint longitudinal felling of Qin a few years ago as an example, although King Chu Kaolie is the longitudinal commander, the actual military power is in the hands of Chunshen Jun, and King Chu Kaolie is not as effective as Chunshen Jun when he speaks!

If it weren’t for the death of King Chu Kaolie a few years ago, Chunshen Junjiao did not listen to the persuasion of the doormen, and was lured into the palace by Li Yuan to be killed, and the power of the Chu State would still have to be controlled by Chunshen Jun.

But it is also precisely because of this that the Chu Kingdom, which is caught in infighting, will definitely not have much energy to deal with a hundred yue region that is just a barbarian in their eyes.

“Such a messy Chu country can destroy us Baiyue!”

After listening to Su Han’s analysis of the Chu Kingdom, Flame Lingji suddenly became even more depressed.

“Because you Baiyue, you are also a plate of scattered sand!”

In the past, although Gou Jian had the courage to destroy the Wu Kingdom and even dominated the Central Plains, he soon swelled his pride, and the problem of indigestion of the snake swallowing elephants in the country of Yue has never been solved.

“Including the demise of the State of Yue, it is also because the last King of Yue is boundless and competitive, first he felled Qi, and then he was successfully persuaded by the envoys of the State of Qi to attack Chu, but he was beheaded by the State of Chu, and there was no prince inside, and the princes and magnates killed each other, and they were destroyed by the State of Chu!”

Su Han shook his head and said, “To put it bluntly, Chu and Yue are just comparing each other!” ”

“Hmph, it turns out that in the eyes of Fujun, I have always felt that we Baiyue people are earth leopards!”

Flame Ling Ji’s small fist hammered lightly, and he huffed.

“How can there be such a beautiful and enchanting earth leopard in my family, who is about to kill her husband?”

“It’s not that the husband doesn’t help, but Baiyue wants unification, there must be an internal awakening process, to put it bluntly, it is to let those who are stubborn and selfish emerge, and the future will be all gone!”

Su Han took the Flame Spirit Ji into his arms and said, “Moreover, the Qin Kingdom and Baiyue do not directly border, and with all their efforts to support, not only will not receive much effect, but it will make the Chu Kingdom more vigilant, which is not a good thing for Baiyue!” ”

“That’s pretty much it!”

Yan Lingji gently hammered Su Han again, in fact, the truth of “no government in the backyard”, she is also very clear,

It’s just that after all, it is a member of the family, plus the inferiority mind of “barbaric and rude Yue girl” that has always been hidden in the bottom of his heart, and he wants to win some attention from Su Han.

To put it bluntly, I was afraid that Su Han would look down on her and her clan because of her identity as a Yue girl.

“Silly girl, Yue Nu is amorous, how can the husband not like Yue Nu?”

“And seriously, the ancestral home of the husband is also in the land of Minyue!”

Su Han lightly nodded at Flame Lingji’s face.

“Really?”

Flame Ling Ji’s beautiful eyes were full of surprise.

“Of course, when did the husband lie to you?”

Su Han said with a smile.

“It’s like… Not really! ”

Yan Lingji thought back, except for the little fun and frolic between the husband and wife, Su Han was indeed very honest with them, and suddenly happily kissed Su Han several times on his body, and said with a guilty face: “People didn’t knock on their husbands just now, right?” ”

“My shoulder doesn’t hurt, but it’s not very comfortable here, because my family Yan’er actually doesn’t believe in my husband!”

Su Han forced the smile in his heart and showed an “injured” expression: “Yan’er doesn’t give more compensation, the husband won’t let you go!” ”

“In your own words, this acting skill is also too fake, worse than the girl of the red lotus!”

Flame Spirit Ji glanced at Su Han coquettishly and said, “But the reward, people have already prepared it!” ”

“Sure enough, Yan’er is the best!”

Hearing the whisper of Flame Ling Ji lying in his ear, Rao was Su Han, and he couldn’t help but look forward to it.

The piano of the jade and the dance of the flame Lingji, as well as the cooperation of the love to the thick, are absolutely infinite. Let the “inner roll” in the backyard come more violently!

“Sir, Xianyang City has been a bit lively recently!”

Ying Zheng said with a smile.

“After the death of King Chu Kaolie and Chunshen Jun, although Li Yuan successfully put Xiong Tian born of his sister on the throne, he also ascended to Ling Yin and held the power of the State of Chu”

But it also caused dissatisfaction among the prince and the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans behind him, and the throne was also shaky.

“And without the longitudinal commander of the State of Chu, Zhao Yan and my Great Qin Alliance are preparing for the Northern Expedition, and the remaining Wei State is not hurrying to show favor and seek peace?”

Su Han shook his head and said.

The situation in the Warring States is directly involved in the whole body, in the past, the combined forces of the five countries were severely damaged by the Qin State, and now the Five Kingdoms are at least superficially left with only the Wei State, how can King Wei Jingxian not be frightened?

“This time, King Wei sent the crown prince to Xianyang with heavy gifts, and even had a proposal to join Qin to attack Chu!”

Wang Wei added.

“Sir, may you cut Chu?”

Because Su Han judged that there would be heavy snowfall in winter, the time of the alliance’s Northern Expedition was postponed for more than half a year, which was enough for the Qin army to take at least several Chu state cities.

Unlike the cold north, the State of Chu is located in the south, and even in autumn and winter, it rarely closes the mountains with heavy snow, so it will not delay the battle too much.

“Not only the Wei Kingdom, but also the Qi State and the Chu State have many gaps, if you send a person who can speak well, the three kingdoms will have a lot to do in the joint destruction of Chu!”

Meng Wu’s eyes also brightened.

“Exactly, with Mr. Su laying a good foundation for my Daqin, now the treasury of all counties and counties is relatively full, and in two months it will be the autumn harvest, it is enough to support the battle on both fronts!”

“Yes, the soldiers sharpen their knives every day and study the art of war hard, but they are all waiting for meritorious achievements, and they can’t wait!”

“Great King, please rest assured, with the current internal strife in the Chu Kingdom, giving the veteran general an army of 100,000 people can take at least one county for Daqin, and the Northern Expedition cannot be delayed!”

“Exactly, now that a large number of young people and strong people from all countries have poured in, the granaries and roads ahead have been built one after another, and mobilizing more than 100,000 soldiers and horses is nothing at all!”

“Great King, fight!”

Yang Duanhe and other veterans also spoke one after another, although it is a good thing, but for the martial generals who are in the prime of life, waiting is also extremely difficult. To put it bluntly, if you don’t fight again, when you are old, you may not be on the battlefield.

Moreover, the State of Chu is recognized as the strongest and largest among the five countries in the Central Plains except for Daqin, if they can destroy Chu first, the rest of the countries in the eyes of the military generals, I am afraid that they will immediately be scared to surrender.

Ying Zheng’s expression was also a little hesitant, and it was definitely a great temptation to open up the territory as soon as possible.

And with Daqin’s current strength, to say an exaggerated word, it is not worth fighting with the six-nation coalition army at the same time!

“Does Your Majesty remember the past King Chuhuai?”

“Originally, King Huai of Chu was rebuked as a tyrant by the Chu people because of his poor military force, first won and then lost, lost a large part of his country, and was rebuked by the Chu people as a tyrant!”

Su Han said in a deep voice: “However, later Qin and Chu met the alliance, and King Huai of Chu was detained and died in Qin, but it made the Chu people turn to mourning for him, and where the coffin passed, the subjects of the Chu State all wept bitterly!” ”

“Sir means that now uniting Wei and Chu will only make the people of Chu people feel the same hatred, and cheapen Li Yuan and Chu Youwang?”

Ying Zheng frowned.

“Since ancient times, the easiest way to stabilize the inside is to open up outward.”

As long as he can lay down more land, the king will have enough resources to pacify the major forces inside, cultivate his cronies, stabilize his authority, and regain the initiative.

Being invaded by foreign enemies is a similar logic.

Although there is no new expansion of oil and water as an attraction, whether the existing interests can be preserved is also a great bait.

Taking the Qin-Chu frontier as an example, most of the rich lands are owned by the three clans of Qu Jingzhao, and their own strength alone cannot compete with our Great Qin, let alone the Wei State and the Qi State and so on.

At this time, for the sake of their own fiefdom interests, the Qu Jingzhao clan could only choose to reach a compromise with King Li Yuan Chuyou, who had the orthodox name, and join forces to resist Qin first.

……

“And this point in time is enough for Li Yuan to slow down, absorb and digest the power left by Chun Shenjun, and support his cronies.”

“And for my Daqin, after all, the Chu Kingdom is a large country with a radius of thousands of miles and hundreds of cities, and the area where it is located is extremely hot and densely swamped, it is difficult to achieve a decisive victory at one time, and it is quite smooth to take more than ten cities!”

Su Han arched his hand and said, “The benefits of more than ten cities are temporarily united with the Chu Kingdom that was forced by my Great Qin, please weigh it up!” ”

“Or Sir sees further!”

Ying Zheng pondered for a long time before he sighed and said, “If it weren’t for Mr. Zheng’s reminder, the widow would have almost made a short-sighted move again!” ”

“In fact, if I are a big Qin Huachu, the influence area will be even greater.”

For example, Zhao Yan, who was originally engulfed in the Northern Expedition of the Alliance by our Great Qin, will inevitably seek an opportunity to get out of control, and it is impossible to jointly turn his troops to our Great Qin in order to contain the strength of our Great Qin forces and keep the commander of the State of Chu.

“It’s even hard to guarantee that there are people with evil intentions, lobbying the grassland aliens to besiege my Daqin together, and even if my Daqin is not afraid, it will cost a lot more!”

Wei Yi, who had just entered the court, looked at Su Han with admiration and added.

He has roughly analyzed the disadvantages of Fa Chu, but it is not as good as Su Han, and the relative “people speak lightly” has not been recognized in the court.

And now, as soon as Su Han spoke, the weight was obviously different. Ying Zheng’s expression became more and more serious, in the past, the decisive battle between the Qin State and various countries was often dragged down by the righteous canal behind it, and even if it was victorious, it had to hurriedly stop the battle, return to the division to rescue Guanzhong, and miss many warring countries.

……。

And now, although Yiqu has been pacified by Daqin, the strength of the Xiongnu Donghuyue clan and other tribes on the grassland will only be stronger, and if they really join forces with Yan Zhao to attack Daqin, the price paid by Daqin will definitely not be small.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng understood more and more why Su Han had to unite with Zhao Yan to the northern expedition to the grassland first.

If the rear is not stable, it will be difficult for Daqin to go east with all its strength, and the two sides will fight, and there may even be thousands of miles apart, which is definitely a nightmare for all kings and generals.

“Your Majesty, now the various benevolent governments promoted by Daqin have successfully gained a good reputation in all countries of the Central Plains, and have achieved the beginning of the Wang Shi mentioned by Mr. Su!”

“Including this joint Yan Zhao preparation for the Northern Expedition, it is also very recognized by the people of the Northland who have been harassed by foreign races, and it will be easier to subdue the hearts of the Yan Zhao people in the future.”

“If it suddenly turns into a fa chu now, this righteous name will inevitably be affected, and it may not be worth the loss!”

Wang Yi also handed it over.

As a representative of the stable war faction, he has always paid attention to stability and accumulating enough momentum to destroy the opponent in one fell swoop, and he is strongly discouraged from small fights and small troubles in a hurry, especially changing the established direction.

It’s just that before Su Han came, his right to speak was not enough.

“Pass on the widow’s will, let Zhang Liang go to the Chu Kingdom, and congratulate the new king on his accession to the throne!”

Ying Zheng pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

Wang Yi and others showed joy on their faces, because of the reason of successfully persuading the Yanzhao Alliance to unite with the outside world, Zhang Liang’s image among countries was still more peaceful and positive.

Zhang Liang instead of Li Si sent the envoy, which shows that Yingzheng had given up the move of uniting Wei and Chu, and began to turn to cooperation with Li Yuan, who controlled the court of the Chu state, and concentrated his forces on the Northern Expedition against foreign tribes.

In this way, not only can the image of Daqin be more “kind”, but also Li Yuan will have an additional insult for Tongqin, making Chu’s internal fight more fierce.

If Zhang Liang did a good job, he could also cultivate pro-Qin forces within the Chu State to prepare for Daqin’s future accession to the lord and win the hearts of the people. A look of horror flashed in Changpingjun’s eyes, as the son of King Chu Kaolie, although he was a Qin, he was also inextricably linked with all the nobles of the Chu Kingdom.

After King Chu You ascended the throne, some dissatisfied nobles, while spreading the remark that King Chu You was the illegitimate son of Chunshen Jun, contacted Prince Chu Kaolie, including the brothers Changpingjun and Changwenjun.

If the Qin Kingdom really wanted to destroy Chu, Changping Jun only needed to secretly provide some information to gain the gratitude and recognition of this group of people. However, now, everything has been destroyed by Su Han!

It’s just that Changpingjun doesn’t dare to say more, the last time he spoke out was pierced by Su Han’s bad heart, and Ying Zheng has once again cut off a lot of Changpingjun’s authority, but his right to speak is not as good as Feng Quqian and others.

If he provokes the government at this time, he may be directly deposed from the court.

Changpingjun was extremely resentful of Su Han in his heart, but he was helpless. This Great Qin National Master who was in the same country was far from what he could shake now.

“Wei Guo’s side, how does the gentleman think it is good to reply?”

Taking Changpingjun’s expression into his eyes, Huan Zheng looked at Su Han again.

“King Wei’s father and son are all scrupulous and stolen people, Prince Wei’s false intentions, originally just to seek peace, as long as it can be achieved, it doesn’t matter if you attack Chu or not!”

Su Han said with a smile: “As for the envoys of the rest of the countries, His Majesty can also hold a feast, showing that Daqin only has the heart to develop internal and Northern Expeditions, and has no intention of the Central Plains for the time being!” ”

“It seems that I have to arrange a grand wedding for Mr. Su!”

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile on his face.
