Chapter 339: The State of Qi is really coming to an end
Chapter 339 Qi is really going to end
Why is there a saying that "justice often kills dogs"? Generally speaking, it refers to people who are engaged in manual labor. People who engage in menial occupations are sometimes very righteous.
Those who dare to assassinate Zhiyao now may have very noble ideals, thinking that killing Zhiyao will save Qi, but their ideas are too simple.
Once Zhiyao dies in an assassination attempt by the Qi people, the Qi State will receive very violent revenge. The Zhi family may not do anything that will devastate the area within a hundred miles.
The Qi people will not die, but most of the Qi people will definitely be slaughtered by the angry Zhi soldiers.
This kind of thing only depends on one's position, whether it's right or wrong.
Of course, the Qi people who dared to carry out the assassination of Zhiyao wanted the assassination to be successful, and they might not think about the consequences if the assassination was successful.
All I can say is that the ignorant are fearless!
Maybe some people will think about the consequences? But they will still carry out assassinations, believing that as long as the assassination is successful, the price paid is worth it.
Therefore, even if one person knew that whether he succeeded or failed, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people would be affected, he still resolutely launched the "Bolang Strike" assassination, which directly caused the death of all kinds of people within a hundred miles.
To target or clean.
Those Qi people's assassination actions seemed very childish. They had strange weapons hidden on their bodies. They thought they had a chance to get close to Zhi Yao. Little did they know that there would be many pairs of eyes staring at them after they appeared. If they did anything wrong, they would be closely watched.
uniform.
No matter how well they disguise themselves and how harmless they appear to be, in reality they still have no chance of getting within ten meters of Zhiyao.
If you are carrying a long-range weapon, unless the Qi people you want to assassinate have a small crossbow and can take it out from the hidden arms and shoot, otherwise you will be surrounded and arrested as soon as you are found to be suspected of carrying a crossbow.
What is the fact? Zhiyao cherishes his life!
Because Zhiyao cherishes his life, especially after being threatened by an assassination, there will be secret guards in disguise monitoring the area within 120 meters wherever he goes. If there are secret guards who occupy the commanding heights to observe the overall situation, they will warn if anything is wrong.
The agreed signal indicates where the riskier person appears, and the rest of the secret guards take action.
Secret guard? That's right. After Zhiyao was assassinated, he searched the entire Zhi clan, recruited all kinds of talents, trained them with some training methods from later generations, and then asked them to brainstorm new training subjects.
A force dedicated to protecting some important people.
This is the advantage of Zhishi being large enough. Zhiyao can mobilize enough manpower and material resources to do whatever he wants. If he wants to form a special force, he has a population of about two million to provide options.
Of course, Zhiyao couldn't understand so many two million people. The initial establishment of the secret guard was mainly to recruit some scouts who had performed outstanding reconnaissance missions in the war, and then select them from the group responsible for disguise and detailed work.
Two years have passed, and Zhi's secret guard has increased from zero to three thousand, which is only two thousand less than the standing army.
It can also be seen from this that Zhiyao's ambition to form a secret guard is a bit big. It will not only be used for defense work, but will definitely establish intelligence networks in various countries in the future.
This is another lesson that Zhiyao taught the world. The profession of espionage appeared in the land of Zhuxia many years in advance.
There are as many as 500 secret guards protecting Zhiyao in the "Linzi" city, and there are also hundreds of open guards who follow and protect Zhiyao at all times. Even if they are attacked and killed in an open battle, hundreds of soldiers will be killed again.
Together with the rest of the overt and covert guards, there is enough support until support arrives.
Zhiyao didn't pay attention to the sudden abnormality.
Sima Ranju and Sun Wu, who were following Zhi Yao around, also didn't pay attention. There were too many things they needed to pay attention to. If no one came to report specifically, it meant that the matter was not worth the distraction and energy.
Nearly four months have passed since they took control of "Linzi". The cleaning operation around "Linzi" has been basically completed. What remains is how to turn control into an occupation.
I'm not playing a word game here. There seems to be no difference between control and occupation. In fact, the difference between the two is quite large.
Control has a greater possibility of being subverted than occupation, and it can also be understood that the situation can be controlled in the short term.
Occupation means that most of the threats have been eliminated, one's own military strength in a certain area has formed an absolute advantage, and the enemy in the area does not have the ability to drive away the occupying forces on its own.
Zhiyao returned to the place where she stayed and learned the news that Kan Zhi had been waiting for a long time.
This Kan Zhi is a very interesting person. He has never gained the upper hand in a fight with the Tian family. He will retreat if something goes wrong, so that even though he has been against the Tian family, he is still living well.
"Tian must have deliberately not killed Kan Zhi. Such a wise man has mediocre abilities, and there are more benefits to keeping him than killing him." Zhi Yao thought to herself from the moment she saw Kan Zhi.
Zhiyao wouldn't kill him if he encountered an opponent like Kan Zhi.
After all, killing such a good opponent might lead to a more difficult opponent, right?
Kan Zhi first smiled flatteringly, and then said: "I heard that Jin Qing wanted to send two 'armies' to the west to attack Lu, so I came here to see him."
According to Zhou Li's establishment, a fully-equipped legion consisted of 12,500 soldiers.
That is to say, the Qi State. After experiencing such great turmoil, as long as someone can stabilize the local area and provide strong rule, it will not be a problem to at least gather an army.
What about Qi's capital circle? If anything is lacking, people will not be lacking. Other things, such as weapons and food, Zhi's capture was too much.
Of course, whether the organization can be built up, the equipment can be in place, and how much combat effectiveness it has is another matter.
As far as Zhiyao knows, the people of every country have their own personalities, and not every country has the bellicose atmosphere of the Jin people.
If it can rise to become a big country, it actually has its merits. It just depends on how the ruler uses it.
Zhiyao also knew why Kan Zhi wanted to go on an expedition. He must have national righteousness, but more importantly, he didn’t want to be annihilated by everyone.
The people of Qi couldn't defeat the people of Jin, how could they not defeat the people of Lu? That's impossible!
Zhishi helped Qi to raise two legions again. All the military supplies were also provided by Zhishi, and the relevant positions were of course arranged by Zhishi.
Cui Jian transformed from a marginal figure into a very important figure and became the commander-in-chief of one of the legions.
Kan Zhi came to recommend himself, to a certain extent, he was asking Zhiyao to sell himself.
The Zhi family has no intention of immediately destroying the Qi State, so it is necessary to give hope to some people with lofty ideals in the Qi State and allow them to join in and work with righteousness in mind.
The two legions of Qi State held a ceremony to swear an oath to go to war after Prince Nian became Qi Jun Nian.
The fact that the throne fell on him made Qi Junwan feel like he was in a dream, or rather he didn't even dare to dream like that before.
"Is it possible for the two 'armies' to win against the three 'armies' of Lu?" Qi Junwan glanced at Zhi Yao cautiously and immediately looked away.
The location is within the palace city of Qi State, and the hall is not a serious main hall, just a very ordinary side hall.
Of course, it is not that Qi Junwan deliberately neglected Zhiyao. As the capital, "Linzi" was still under the control of the Zhi family. The guards of the palace were also provided by the Zhi family. Only the eunuchs and palace maids were the original configuration.
If it were in the future, Zhiyao would definitely not keep the original eunuchs and maids. The current eunuchs and maids have not had any predecessors who uphold righteousness. They are just tools and do not need special treatment.
Even if Qi Junwan didn't know how he got his throne before, someone would remind him later.
There is no need to say it too clearly, as long as Qi Junwan knows who he gained the throne for, and if he loses his support, not only will he lose his throne, but he will even become incapable of success. In fact, it is enough.
In that case, unless Lu Wan has a great awakening and is a wise and capable person, the outcome is actually doomed.
The reason why Zhiyao selected Lu Wan from among the many young masters and grandsons must have been based on well-founded considerations.
Let's put it this way, Lu Wan's reputation is not bad. This is one of the reasons why he was chosen.
If a prince of Qi with a bad reputation is selected to sit on the throne, it may be okay for a while, but when the situation calms down, trouble will inevitably follow.
"Lu Army?" Zhiyao really didn't look down on the Lu State. He said truthfully: "Thousands of people attacked 'Ai Ling'. It took half a month and more than two thousand people were killed or injured before we conquered it."
By the way, the leader of the Lu army was Zigong.
Zigong? When he was serving the Zhi family, he showed no military talent.
However, given the current unique situation, all nobles must have basic military literacy, otherwise even if they have a fief, they will lose it later.
Why? Because not only can nobles enjoy a good life, they also have the obligation to pay taxes. If they fail to pay taxes, their fiefdoms will be reduced until they have nothing.
Qi Junnian asked cautiously: "Tian's separatist rule in Donglai, I don't know how to deal with it?"
Zhiyao glanced at Qi Junhan and did not answer.
People, it turns out that depending on where you sit, your thinking will change.
If he were still an ordinary young man with nothing to do, he would at most just curse a few words in anger and then continue living his small life of accomplishing nothing.
Now? He is the king of a country. He can tolerate the invasion of the Jin army, but it is impossible to allow the emergence of separatist forces in a country.
One day when the foreign enemies retreat, they will be able to work hard and issue a call to retake the old land. However, the impact of internal troubles on people's hearts will be far greater than imagined!
Therefore, it makes sense to a certain extent that we must first settle our domestic affairs when fighting against external forces.
Zhiyao could see that the change in identity began to make Qi Jun have some thoughts that he would never have had before.
How do you describe that kind of transformation? Instead of relying on one's own efforts, after obtaining something out of thin air, one does not know how difficult it is to obtain it, and all one wants is to use tricks to obtain more.
In the end, Qi Junwan really said: "I want to personally conquer the Lu State. If I win, I will go to Donglai to attack the rebels."
