It is impossible for the State of Qi to remain indifferent to the loss of "Tan". The reason is not only that the loss of "Tan" will turn Qi's cities in the upper reaches of Jishui into enclaves, but also that "Tan" is too far away from "Linzi".
Close!
"My family may need to station troops in Tan all year round, and it should not be less than two divisions." Zhiyao said.
Expo agreed very much, and then said: "Qi or Wu, the later will be three years old, and there will be a counterattack."
They had just fought a great battle, and Qi State had been wiped out by Wu at least 80,000 troops. Can they still form an alliance? It depends on where Qi State thinks the biggest threat comes from. It is nothing to endure the humiliation of losing to Wu State. Jin State
The threat to Qi is the most deadly.
Zhiyao thought to himself: "Not returning the land of 'Tan' is indeed forcing Qi State to move closer to Wu State, and if Qi State has sense, it will not counterattack in the short term. Tian's action to get rid of the current Qi Jun is already on the line. Tian
Is it possible that Qi will choose to suspend the operation because of Qi's defeat?"
Eighty or ninety thousand Qi troops were wiped out by the Wu army, and a large number of Qi princes were killed or captured. This suddenly cleared many obstacles for the Tian family to dominate the court.
If civil strife breaks out in Qi, the Zhi family will definitely benefit.
Zhiyao has already taken action. Even if Tian Qi temporarily gives up on getting rid of Qi Jun Yangsheng, the Zhi family will use many means to make Tian miss the arrow he is waiting for.
Once Qi Junyang's life and death are in the hands of the Tian family, the Zhi family will expose the news later without evidence, making the Qi country more chaotic.
The Qi State, which was already greatly weakened, will be further weakened if they start chaos again, and then the civil strife will not be quelled for a day. What can they do to fight against the Zhi clan?
At that time, the Zhi family will not only be able to take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the upper reaches of Jishui River, but also continue to weaken Qi State!
Gao Qiang asked: "Zongzi, the newly occupied areas are causing chaos, how should we deal with them?"
This is one of the troubles that the Zhi family only occupied certain parts of Qi and did not gain sovereignty.
In the minds of the Qi people, they are still people of the Qi State and are unwilling to accept the rule of the Zhi family. If anyone takes the lead, they will definitely carry out various resistances.
Even if Qi State admits that the ownership rights of the land lost to the Zhi family have been changed, Qi people will still continue to resist, and the intensity of resistance will be greatly reduced.
Regarding the resistance of the Qi people, Zhiyao knew it well in advance and said: "Migrant officials are 'scholars'. If you encounter resistance, you need to understand the reason first. If the reason does not make sense, implement it according to the law."
It is actually best to move all those who have the right to speak. It is best to move away the Lishu and the like. Unfortunately, once they are all moved away, and then move the Jin people to settle down, it will not matter if it takes a long time. The casualties caused by the hasty migration will be very serious.
serious.
This is not an era where the purpose of fulfilling the orders from above is not to care about the life and death of those below.
Besides, everything belonging to the Zhi family belongs to Zhiyao. If he doesn't cherish it, who will?
Recently, Zhiyao is still doing other things, such as summarizing the battle with Wu Jun.
In general, Zhiyao's more than ten years of hard work have not been in vain. After all kinds of new equipment are installed, the military advantage is beyond imagination.
The troublesome part is that it costs a lot of money, especially the various family doctors, "scholars" and "disciples" of the Zhi family are very overwhelmed, and if they are not improved, big problems may arise later.
As a result, Zhishi needs to frequently conquer the land and create quick profits for those families with financial difficulties.
Simply relying on self-production? It’s not impossible, but the prerequisite is that we can survive the current difficulties!
If we can't survive the current difficulties, how can we talk about the long-term future?
Therefore, Zhiyao has been frequently sending out scouts and agents to investigate various parts of the Qi Kingdom recently, planning small-scale but very frequent plundering battles.
This is also part of Zhiyao's grand strategy. The plundering war will bulge the pockets of many people in the Zhi family, and it can also interfere with the normal production of Qi.
So what? Qi was targeted by Zhiyao, which was a great misfortune for the people of Qi.
Nowadays, thanks to the strength of the various Xia kingdoms and the loss of contact between the Yan Kingdom and the Central Plains, no one has actually heard of any country being frequently plundered by foreigners.
Several powerful countries, including Jin, Chu and Wu, had fought back and forth before and had never engaged in frequent plundering wars.
Zhiyao was the first to initiate this. He saw that it was part of a general war, and others would never think so.
Once Zhishi does that, no matter who it is, the reputation of Zhishi will definitely become very bad.
However, Zhi's family will not be the only one to bear the blame.
Didn't the Wei family and the Hu family already go to the Lu State? They took different routes, fighting whenever they could and blackmailing when they could. They didn't look like the army of a hegemonic country at all, more like a group of bandits.
Fortunately, Zigong traveled quickly enough, and Sanhuan of Lu State was cowardly enough. Lu State admitted its mistake and offered a sincere apology, thus preventing more Lu people from suffering.
Now, the Wei family, the Hu family and other families have returned to the country. They also helped bring back the apology gift from the Lu State to the Zhi family.
The seasons are about to change, and if nothing goes wrong, after entering winter, all countries will come to a standstill.
"It's very inappropriate for my family to do this..." Zhishen said that many people from the Zhi family were already plundering various parts of Qi State in groups.
The order was issued by Zhiyao and has been implemented for almost a month and a half.
The Qi State has not reacted yet. Maybe in the coming year, envoys from the Qi State will go to "Xintian" or "Luoyi" to protest.
Zhiyao could not explain to Zhishen what economic compensation meant, and further analyzed in depth that many Zhishen families were on the verge of bankruptcy.
After all, many people have only owned their own land for a short period of time, and the output cannot keep up with the required consumption. In addition, the Zhi family is forced to pay taxes and are not allowed to find new ways out. Not only will these families go bankrupt, but even
It would also force Zhiyao's internal reform of the Zhi family to be interrupted.
"Sir, what are the casualties of our soldiers?" Zhiyao asked.
Zhishen thought he was asking about the casualties of the plunder, and frowned and said: "There are almost no casualties among the soldiers, but there are many casualties among the common people of Qi. This goes against the harmony of nature!"
What is total war? Even if looting can make many people in the Zhi family rich, many people still cannot accept it, including Zhishen, the head of the family.
"..." Zhiyao didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhishen said: "If this continues for a long time, he will be no different from an animal!"
Regarding this point, Zhiyao admitted that Zhishen was right.
Moreover, when Zhishen wanted to stop Zhiyao, he did not use orders, but persuasion, which is quite humble no matter how you look at it.
Zhiyao first apologized and then asked, "Is it okay if Yao sends her to Zhongshan, Changdi, or Loufan?"
Looting the Qi State was very effective, and it was a way to kill two birds with one stone, but it was morally wrong.
Zhishen immediately said: "It's so okay!"
Therefore, it is not a problem to rob Qi, which is also a member of Zhuxia, but there is no problem to rob foreigners???
Zhishen asked incomprehensively: "I have a shortage of property, so why not give me a favor?"
To be honest, Zhiyao also had this idea, but she killed it as soon as she thought of it.
Zhiyao wants to establish laws and regulations in the Zhi family, and he will be rewarded for his achievements. How can he do such a fucking thing that ignores the system?
Do you know? The ultimate fairness is actually the greatest unfairness. Some people work hard and some are lazy, but the treatment they enjoy is exactly the same. Who is willing to work harder?
If there is no reward for merit, what is the point of establishing a corresponding reward and punishment system? It is simply the superiors digging for their own foundation!
Zhiyao elaborated and explained to Zhishen, but halfway through she found that Zhishen looked confused and couldn't help but feel powerless.
It's not that Zhishen couldn't understand it at all. Guan Zhong was there before him, Zichan was behind him, Zhao Yang, Shi Jishe and Fadu were all played by others.
Although each ancestor has a different approach to the core of the law or system, facts have also proved the importance of setting rules and abiding by them.
What Zhishen couldn't understand was that Zhiyao was playing so seriously, and he couldn't imagine what kind of follow-up it would have once the system he created was deeply rooted in the hearts of the Zhi family.
"There is something that requires your approval." Zhiyao began to talk about how slaves can gain freedom by performing meritorious services.
The state of Wu and the state of Qi launched a great war, and the scale of their troops was beyond the imagination of many countries. It will definitely stimulate other countries, and the scale of their troops will definitely become larger and larger when war breaks out in the future.
With the lessons learned from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Zong Zhou made overcorrecting changes, that is, he no longer allowed slaves to participate in wars, and it was not so easy to become a soldier.
What lessons did the Yin and Shang learn? Many of their soldiers were actually slaves. Later, Ji Zhou played tricks on people's hearts, and too many of the Yin and Shang's slave soldiers turned against them in battle.
Nowadays, various countries have an extremely large number of slaves. It is difficult for slaves to turn over in their lifetime. Even if they have descendants, they will still be slaves. This hinders the liberation of productivity to some extent and also causes stagnation in population growth.
Zhiyao hoped that Zhishen would agree to a system of rewards and punishments for slaves. Slaves would produce more to buy their own freedom, and this would extend to ordinary people being qualified to become soldiers.
In fact, Zhiyao could not allocate land to Li Shu, so he could only find another way to give Li Shu a chance to perform meritorious service on the battlefield, and then allow Li Shu to obtain his own land.
Zhiyao wanted to do this not only to increase the number of troops, but the real core was to allocate land.
There needs to be a process for the common people to obtain land through their own meritorious service. To trace the reason, we still need to consider the feelings of the collective with vested interests.
To put it bluntly, Zhiyao cannot allocate land without any reason. If it can do this, it will definitely make the people who get the land grateful for at least three generations; the price is to make the people who worked hard to get the land dissatisfied and even disintegrate.
Drop Chi's existing support group.
If Zhiyao came from a poor background, he would definitely try to win over most people. That’s not the problem!
Zhishen only knew that Zhiyao had listened to his advice and would not plunder the Qi State again. He agreed to Zhiyao's reform of the slave treatment plan without thinking.
As for the slave reform, it was actually Zhao Yang who did it first, and Shang Yang almost copied it and implemented it in Qin.
Zhao Yang did not do anything to change history, Shang Yang was not born yet, and Zhiyao became a pioneer.
