Chapter 284: My Sun Wu only serves those who are ambitious enough
People are not the same, which refers not only to status, but also to differences in IQ and knowledge.
Others may not see a series of developments in the Chi family that are different from other families.
Although Sun Wu didn't have a comprehensive view, based on his IQ and knowledge, there really weren't many conclusions that he could draw after some thought.
Sun Wu only looked at "Huang Fu" and "Ye". He had not checked Zhi's agricultural strength yet, and had basically determined how big Zhi Yao wanted to do.
The existence of "Huang Father" is to train more people to do things, which is equivalent to training petty officials and officials; and "Ye" is the foundation guarantee of Zhi's military equipment.
With the above two discoveries, Sun Wu felt that he didn't need to look any further.
In fact, just because of the ongoing undertakings of "Huang Fu" and "Ye", many countries have completely fallen behind the Zhi family.
The Zhi family is a long-established family with high status in the Jin Kingdom. Its ability to survive for a long time is enough to prove that its military force and diplomatic ability are not bad.
If coupled with the ambition shown by the Zhi family's continuous eastward expansion in recent years, from Sun Wu's perspective, it is more than just making the family stronger?
"Confucius of the State of Lu often said that rituals and music have collapsed, and disputes among princes have become more and more intense..." Sun Wu began to talk about the changes in the world today.
Although Zhiyao didn't understand what Sun Wu was talking about for a while, she still listened attentively.
After listening, Zhiyao began to understand what Sun Wu was talking about.
What Sun Wu talked about was not a unified theory, but it was probably that the world needed an overlord, and the existence of an overlord could suppress the princes, reduce wars between countries, and so on.
This is actually the idea of some great sages in the current era. It cannot reach the height of great unification for the time being, and their understanding still stops at the necessity of the existence of a hegemon.
To put it bluntly, it means those who have gone before us have paved the way for others to follow, and then we have brought it to an urgently needed height.
We need to wait until the merger becomes more intense, the war becomes more cruel, we have seen too many tragedies in the world, and we have sufficient cognitive height, then the grand unified theory will emerge according to the circumstances.
Sun Wu's speech was very long, and he talked about some highly relevant strategic topics for his own development, but he did not mention any country by name.
In fact, it is also one of the moral principles of today's nobles to never disclose information about the employers they have worked for wherever they go.
Who was the first person in history to start serving others, then switch to another force and then sell them out? In fact, it is difficult to find out who was the first, we can only look at who is the most famous.
Among those who undermined the moral bottom line of society, the most famous person was Zhang Yi. He not only lied with ease, but was also extremely untrustworthy and felt happy when he successfully deceived others.
Zhiyao began to have some thoughts.
Sun Wu used the sentence "Destroy the Wei, unite the Qi, and annex the Jin" as the opening remarks of today's conversation, which is a bit like a strategist taking the lead.
What I have to say is that Zhiyao was indeed a little distracted by that sentence. If it was a formal diplomatic occasion, she would not suffer a loss during the meeting.
Of course, a weak person who takes advantage for a while is actually inviting disaster. For example, if Zhiyao accidentally suffers a loss for a while, he will definitely liquidate it afterwards and retaliate immediately if he has the opportunity, but he will not have the opportunity to create an opportunity to retaliate!
"Does the Zhi family have the intention to found a country?" Sun Wu asked suddenly after talking in a long circle.
In terms of pure strength, the Zhi family is actually not weaker than Song, Qi, Qin... and other countries. The problem is not the country.
No matter how strong the Zhi family is without establishing a country, their strength will still be counted as part of the Jin Kingdom. This must not be confused.
Zhiyao looked at Sun Wu steadily and thought: "Are you asking about ambitions?"
There are some people who are proud of their ability. When choosing a service partner, you must first ask clearly about your ambition, and then decide whether it is worth serving them based on your ambition.
Now is an era where many things will be exposed even if there is just one layer of paper, and they still cannot be said out loud.
Zhiyao said: "My family's fiefdoms are concentrated in the east, extending the length of Di, occupying Xianyu, so that the north of my family has no worries; attacking Lu and destroying the Wei is not bullying; attacking Qi is probably because Qi is strong and makes it weak.
"
It seems to be elaborating on what Zhishi has done and what he is about to do, but there is no answer as to whether he wants to establish a country. If those plans are successful, what will happen once those plans are successful? Need to say more?
If the Zhi family completes those steps, does not establish a country on its own, and is determined to complete the unification, and there are no more internal troubles, basically no country can withstand the Jin.
The key to the problem is that Zhishi really succeeded in destroying Wei, Lu, Qi and other eastern countries. Even if Zhiyao intends to continue to be a minister of the Jin Dynasty, can others recognize it?
Furthermore, given the bad behavior of the Jin family, peaceful coexistence will only be a difficult time for the country. In the past, when external threats were less serious, they would fight among themselves, but now there is no self-consciousness to calm down even if there are external threats.
Sun Wu was smiling the whole time, but it was hard to tell whether he understood or not, and whether he was willing to serve Zhishi.
That's basically what today's conversation is about. It's quite in line with contemporary reality. Everything is slow-paced. When you encounter a major decision, you don't need to make an immediate decision. You can think about it in as much detail as you can, and express your attitude when necessary.
.
Next, Sun Wu, accompanied by others, went to visit the farming area east of "Handan".
Zhiyao took the opportunity to inspect "Ye" city, check various productions, and examine the progress of Gongshu's research on hydraulic forging hammers. Things were quite complicated.
It wasn't until Zhi Xuwu escorted Nanzi, Wei Junzhu, the princes, Gongsun and others to Jin that Zhi Yao put down what he was doing.
"My grandson is in Xianyu?" Zhiyao was quite puzzled that Sun Wu could really run away.
Sun Wu wanted to visit all the places of the Zhi family.
By the way, Sun Wu is already sixty-two years old. He has to travel through mountains and rivers on his way to various places. Can he hold on?
However, with Sun Wu still looking healthy and healthy, there seems to be no problem, not to mention that he is properly taken care of by Zhishi.
Recently, Zhiyao has repeatedly considered whether to destroy Weiguo. After thinking about it and doing a lot of ideological struggles, she found that she really couldn't come up with a real decision in the short term.
Lao Zhijia needs to first take a look at the reactions of various families within the Jin Kingdom, especially to understand the attitude of the non-public nobles of the Wei Kingdom.
Therefore, whether or not to annex Weiguo depends not only on the short-term benefits, but also on the possible changes to the situation.
At present, "Puyang" is under the control of the Zhi family, and all important figures in Weiguo are also controlled by the Zhi family. It seems that the decision is not that urgent, but in fact, the time is quite tight.
Because there was no immediate decision-making relationship, Zhishen and Zhiyao, the father and son, needed to welcome the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Kingdom, but they only greeted them in a ceremonial manner, and they would certainly not talk much.
When it comes to treating the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Kingdom, even if the old wise family wants to destroy the Wei Kingdom, the indispensable etiquette is still indispensable. This is not a hypocrisy of erecting a memorial arch after doing something, it is simply a real need.
Zhiyao found that the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Kingdom did not understand the seriousness of the situation, and tended to think that the Zhi family would do something excessive, but would not bring about the destruction of the Wei Kingdom.
This understanding seems to be correct? Anyway, the Zhi family really will not let the Wei Kingdom be destroyed to the point of being wiped out. At least one city will be left for the Wei Kingdom monarch and the princes to take care of themselves.
Of course, the people from Weiguo will definitely not be sent to "Xintian" because the Zhi family is launching a private war, not a national war.
Here the Zhi family created a history, using the power of a family to conquer the capital of a country, and then bringing down the country's top figures. If future generations see this period of history, they will probably be able to fully realize the power of the Jin Dynasty's high-ranking family?
Whether Zhishi can annex Weiguo depends on the reaction of various princes. However, judging from the current situation, there are not many countries with the ability to intervene. The trouble will come after it becomes an established fact.
Another item, the attitude of the Zhou royal family needs to be paid attention to. It is not about paying attention to anything. The main reason is that Zhiyao still thinks about being conferred the title of Marquis by the Emperor of Zhou one day.
If Zhiyao does not get the marquis, the Zhi family's founding of the country can only be based on the restoration of the original country's national title, and the country's name at the beginning can only be "Yuan"; if Zhiyao gets the marquis first, it is equivalent to saying that there is a country.
The qualifications and country number can be determined based on other factors.
Three months later, Sun Wu came to "Ye" city again.
For some people, what happens during this period is a lot, and for others, life is just how it should be.
"I heard that the Zhi family wants to build a new 'du'?" The 'du' Sun Wu mentioned is a name used to house the ancestral temple.
Zhiyao has been struggling with this matter for three or four years.
What is more obvious is that as the Zhi family's center of gravity moves eastward, the "Zhi" place located between the Wei family and the Han family is no longer suitable as a home base.
Now that Zhishi's center of gravity has been determined to move eastward, as the development of "Handan" and "Ye" becomes more and more complete, those who previously disapproved saw considerable benefits and understood the importance of development focus, and no longer opposed the move to "city".
"Move eastward.
There is only one trouble left. It is best for the Zhi family's new "capital" not to be someone else's remaining city. To move the "capital", it is best to build a city from scratch.
Zhiyao replied: "It is true."
Sun Wu said: "You can choose a place to build a city in 'Puyang'."
Then, Sun Wu began to talk about the terrain on the "Puyang" side, including the surrounding geographical relationships, etc.
What is geographical relationship? To put it bluntly, it means what forces are around a certain place.
Sun Wu has confirmed that the Zhi family will gradually destroy Wei, Lu and Qi, which means that he believes that the Zhi family should choose "Puyang" as the focus of the future.
What is more realistic is that "Puyang" belongs to a flat area, that is, there is no danger to rely on at all. It needs to have strong national strength and military combat effectiveness that can be relied on. Otherwise, putting the "capital" over there is tantamount to asking for trouble.
Zhiyao originally had similar ideas. One of the reasons was that it was not only convenient for farming, but it could also be used as a training ground for war horses.
What is the fact? Whether in the Spring and Autumn Period or long into the future, "Puyang" itself is suitable for cultivating excellent war horses.
After listening to what Sun Wu said.
Zhiyao stood up and saluted Sun Wu.
Sun Wu also stood up and returned the salute.
So, if a good minister chooses the Ming Dynasty to serve, Zhiyao will have one more good minister?
