After using troops for several consecutive years, the original country did not suffer any losses, but it only gained more than the losses.
Of course, since losses occur, inventory will definitely decrease.
Ensuring that there are emergency supplies in the inventory is something that every country should pay attention to, so as to avoid the loss of people's livelihood due to the inability to intervene in a natural disaster.
It’s not surprising that Zhiyao has that kind of concept. After all, he comes from a later generation.
People nowadays don't have that kind of concept. What they value is to save themselves in times of difficulty, and the country does not have to bear corresponding responsibilities.
To put it simply, wherever there is a natural disaster, if there are nobles in the local area, the nobles will provide supplies. If there are no nobles, the people will help themselves. The monarch will send people to bring food relief, send troops to help the people, etc., anyway, there is no such thing.
.
It's a little unfair here, right?
People's labor creates value, but they also have to endure corvee labor. When natural disasters occur, they receive no help from the state.
The problem is that there are really no relevant rules. The state only has the obligation to ensure that they are not invaded by foreign enemies when it asks for compensation from the living people, and there are really no other obligations.
Zhiyao is different after all, there is nothing much to say about this.
After the Yuan Kingdom captured "Xinzheng", they needed to clear the battlefield as soon as possible.
Although "Xinzheng" was successfully captured, due to a series of aftermaths of the war, many houses collapsed or burned down, and many bodies were not buried and allowed to rot, causing "Xinzheng" to become a smelly and fly-filled city.
The city is really no longer suitable for habitation in a short period of time.
Next, five thousand original troops will be stationed in the previously built walled city. At the same time, tens of thousands of Li Shu people will be recruited to fill the trenches. The work of cleaning up the city will also be handed over to Li Shu people.
A series of subsequent events fell on Zhiying, who will also become the local captain in the future.
Therefore, "Xinzheng" will be a military town in the future and will no longer be an ordinary city.
"After more than a hundred years of reinforcements by the State of Zheng, it is no longer suitable as a city for people's livelihood. It is just like a super-large fortress." Zhiyao is already leaving 'Xinzheng'.
In terms of geographical location, and the location of the new capital chosen by Zhiyao, "Xinzheng" can indeed play a defensive role in the future.
The current situation is that once "Xinzheng" is regarded as a super-large fortress, it will not only prevent enemy troops from crossing Zheng to invade Jin, but also play a core role in ensuring the security of the surrounding area.
On the way back to the army, envoys from the Song Dynasty caught up with him.
The person who served as the envoy of the Song Dynasty was named Xiang Yu. He was the younger brother of Xiang Chao, the left master of the Song Dynasty.
This time, Zhiyao did not receive him, and only later did he learn that Xiang Chaolai had mentioned the ownership of Cao Land again.
The Song State did not want to take back Cao Land. They knew very well that since Cao Land fell into the hands of the Yuan State, it was impossible to take it back with just a word.
Reason also made Song's monarchs understand the fact that Cao's old land was too close to "Puyang", and it was like a sharp sword inserted into the core of Wei's land. Even if the original country was willing to return Cao's land, Song should not take it.
The other is to force the Yuan State to send troops to attack the Song State.
Xiang Yulai was talking about the territory captured by Zheng State in the Song Dynasty, and asked what price it would cost to restore the old land captured by Zheng State.
"How do you think you should reply to the Song envoy?" Zhiyao held an impromptu meeting.
Zhong Quan, whose health was much worse than before, had long been like a womb. Although he was the ruler of the original country, he never participated in government affairs. The most important thing he did was to pave the way for his son Zhong Wu.
Han Geng led the troops to fight abroad, while Hu You stayed at home and took charge, so naturally he could not express any opinions.
Sima Ranju glanced around and knew that he should answer, so he said: "Maybe it can be returned to the southwest?"
Where is that? In the plain area between Suishui and Yingshui, Zheng State robbed three cities from Song State a long time ago.
Sima Ranju added: "Your Majesty intends to change the situation. Returning the city can show your sincerity."
The Yuan Kingdom pretends to continue playing the game of hegemony. It cannot be too domineering and should show a reasonable side at all times.
Zhiyao asked: "In what form?"
Because that place is really dispensable, and it is not difficult to get it back. The Yuan State can give three cities to the Song State, but what should the Song State pay in return?
Sima Ranju said briefly: "Food."
Zhiyao has just finished fighting the war in the Central Plains, and will soon attack Qin or Yan. She really needs to stabilize the Song State first, and even the Yue State must find a way to stabilize it.
Anyway, three cities were sent to the Song State in exchange for grain, which could be used to conquer the Qin State or the Yan State. It was quite suitable to exchange the cities for grain, and it could also reduce the Song State's grain reserves.
What can Zhiyao say? Sure enough, ginger is still hotter than old.
The Song Dynasty should accept this plan? But they would be afraid that the original country would use the food obtained as military rations to conquer them.
When Xiang Yu learned that the original country needed food, he made a request, hoping to form an alliance with the original country. The location of the alliance would be decided by the original country.
What does this mean? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the alliance meant to be re-established. Whoever had the right to decide the location of the alliance was the alliance leader. As the alliance leader, it was no surprise that he was the big brother of the princes participating in the alliance.
Sima Ranju, who was responsible for meeting Xiang Yu, delayed the meeting due to the seriousness of the matter and took Xiang Yu all the way to the Zhili area of the original country.
"I didn't expect that the Wei Kingdom was only dead for eight years, and the Wei people completely accepted the change of status." Xiang Yu saw a lot along the way.
It was the autumn harvest season, and Li Shu people could be seen working in full swing in the wilderness. When they learned that the outgoing army would pass by, they spontaneously prepared food and water to welcome them.
What's this called? It's clearly a way of welcoming Master Wang!
Not only did the people in Weiwei accept the rule of the Zhi family, but they also loved it very much.
Xiang Tao was puzzled by the behavior of the people of the original Wei state. He didn't know whether it was because the Wei family of Yuan Ji was too unpopular, or because the people of the Wei state gave in too easily.
"However, it seems right? The Jin Kingdom was not destroyed before. The Zhao family captured the Wei area north of the river. The local Wei people quickly accepted the rule of the Zhao family. It was the turn of the people who ruled the Wei area to become the Zhi family.
They immediately accepted it, which was somewhat reasonable." Xiang Yu began to mentally eliminate the people in Weidi.
Xiang Yu ignored many realities.
One of them, the Wei family surnamed Ji, has accepted the loss of land and handed over the sovereignty of those lands. In this case, even if some Wei people are still willing to resist, their monarchs have accepted the status quo, and it is difficult to change anything.
, the sacrifice of resistance will become worthless.
The more important factor is that as former Wei people, they did not necessarily have land to farm, and their channels for advancement were completely blocked. As former people, even if they farmed for the country, they at least had the opportunity to change their own destiny.
Not only the original Wei people, but also the citizens of the country that were annexed by the original country, they can enjoy the basic treatment as the original people. The country is too far away from them, and they are all descendants of Zhuxia Miao, why can't they become a
What about the original people pursuing a better life?
The people of Wei already knew that Wei was classified as Zhili, and the capital of the original country was also established in Wei. Compared with people in Qiuyou, Zhongshan, Qi and other places, they would definitely be more willing to accept the rule of the Zhi family.
There was no deliberate distinction between old people and newcomers, and equal treatment was actually the "magic weapon" Zhiyao used in his conquests.
Zhiyao, who returned to "Puyang", was waiting for the reaction of the other princes.
As expected, the Chu State accepted the fact of defeat and sent a delegation to "Puyang" to discuss how to get along with the original country in the future.
The Yue Kingdom does not have the strength to compete with the Yuan Kingdom for the time being. They will definitely not be the first to stand out and will also send envoys to the Yuan Kingdom.
With the actions of Chu, Yue and Song, how could the other princes not understand that the dominance of the Yuan Kingdom was an established fact. They were stupid and couldn't get along with the Yuan Kingdom. They knew that there would be an alliance and they would definitely participate.
As winter approached, envoys from Chu and Yue arrived, followed by envoys from Qin, Ju, Qi and other countries.
Looking at the situation, there is no doubt that the princes have recognized the dominance of the original country. As for who wants to challenge the dominance, that is another matter.
If Zhiyao is willing to be content with the status quo, he will undoubtedly surpass the level of Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin.
Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin only asked the feudal princes of the Zhou royal family to respect them, leaving out the state of Chu in the south.
Now, Zhiyao had beaten Chu to recognize the original country's dominance and was willing to help Emperor Zhou govern the world, wouldn't he have achieved the achievement of dominating the country?
In this winter, Zhong Quan, the head of the Zhong family, passed away at the age of seventy-four.
In the past, the monarch only needed to send people to express condolences and could not interfere with family inheritance.
There are already related precedents in the Yuan Kingdom. For the sake of safety, Zhong Quan asked Zhiyao to approve Zhong Wu's takeover of the Zhong family's power before his death.
In this matter, Zhong Quan helped Zhiyao a lot. As a ruler, it became a rule to confirm that the change of the head of the family needs the monarch's approval. In the future, if the head of each family changes, it will not be recognized by the monarch.
It would be considered illegal.
Of course, not all families are willing to give the king the right to interfere with family inheritance. I don't know how many people secretly scolded Zhong Quan who has passed away, and even dislike Zhong Wu.
However, Zhiyao personally appeared at Zhong Quan's funeral. Before leaving, he ordered the eunuch Ling Taihu to read out the edict, affirming that Zhong Quan's life was positive, and gave him a posthumous title of "Wen".
In this way, who doesn't know that Zhiyao wants to replace the heads of various families and needs to be recognized by the monarch and become part of the system?
Because envoys from various countries happened to be on missions, they also attended Zhong Quan's funeral.
"The Zhi family has changed so much that Zhou etiquette is no longer the same!" Xiang Yu was actually quite relieved in his heart.
In a fundamental sense, the Song Dynasty cannot be regarded as a vassal state of the Zhou royal family. They are the country responsible for continuing to worship the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Precisely because the Song Dynasty worshiped the ancestors of the Yin and Shang dynasties and retained many of the Yin and Shang systems, they seemed so incompatible with other countries and were always afraid that the princes would unite to conquer them.
Wen Zhong said: "This uncle is not that uncle."
Even if they didn't know that a Chu army was wreaking havoc in the Zhou royal family before, they should have known about it later.
To say that the Yuan Kingdom was engaged in a war and had no spare force to send troops to rescue the Zhou royal family, this is somewhat of a reason.
At present, the large-scale war in the original country has ended. Although he knew that "Luoyi" might fall at any time, he did not send a single soldier to support it. It is really worth pondering.
Ziqi laughed first, realizing that he shouldn't laugh in the current situation. After suppressing his laughter, he said expressionlessly: "The heart of the original king is known to everyone on the road to Chu."
Why do you want to laugh? Ziqi laughed at other people for being stupid, and also took pleasure in the Zhou royal family's misfortune. Until now, he had not noticed Zhiyao's ambition.
Wen Zhong and Xiang Yu were silent.
Are they really stupid? It's just that they can't defeat Yuan Guo with real swords and guns. No one is willing to take the lead in lifting the lid.
By pretending to be stupid now, at least you can have some breathing space, find ways to develop, and strive to enhance your own strength so that you can cope with the big changes in the future.
Ziqi looked at Xiang Yu and Wenzhong who were silent, all the smiles in his heart were gone, and asked in a low voice: "Are Yue and Song willing to sit back and watch the Yuan Kingdom sweep the world and replace it with the Zhou royal family?"
Don't you know that Wen Zhong and Xiang Yu now feel that Zi Qi is stupid?
No one of them has the ability to fight against the other country alone, and only by uniting can confrontation be possible.
In addition, what is currently attacking "Luoyi" is the defeated army of the Chu State. Earlier, the center of the Chu State might have been busy with the war and would not be able to restrain the Chu army for a while. However, so much time has passed, but the center of the Chu State has not
Isn't it obvious that the Chu troops in the Zhou royal family were recalled?
The Chu State seized the opportunity and wanted to destroy the Zhou royal family. Firstly, it was to prevent the original country from uniting the princes in the name of Emperor Zhou. Secondly, it wanted to turn the world into a competition between heroes. Such an obvious fact, everyone is not a fool.
, how could you not see it.
Yuan Guo, who could save the Zhou royal family from embarrassment, made no move?
The Song Dynasty, which hated Ji Zhou for the country's subjugation, was eager for the fall of "Luoyi".
What does the Yue State want to do? They can travel through the Song State and the Yuan State.
Ziqi saw something from the expressions of Wen Zhong and Xiang Yu, so he opened and closed his mouth.
After the funeral, the three of them had a small gathering again. What they talked about was nothing more than cooperation. They agreed that while helping each other, they would take the same steps towards the original country. One of the plans confirmed in advance was to delay the time and try not to let the original country suffer as much as possible.
The country then launches a war against one of the three countries.
Two months after Zhong Quan's funeral, Zhiyao received news of the fall of "Luoyi".
"Nothing can be lost in Jiuding!"
After hearing the news, all the ministers of the Yuan Kingdom met with Zhiyao and spoke the same words.
Zhiyao had already sent people to pay attention to Jiuding, but he could not say it out loud. On the contrary, he had to show shock at the fall of "Luoyi".
Very hypocritical, right?
Everyone knows that it is fake. The problem is to understand that sometimes it is necessary to be pretentious.
"Not only Jiuding, although the Zhou royal family's collection room is not as good as before, some of the classics are unique. The Chu State has already obtained the classics from the princes once, but they were lost in later generations." Zhiyao thought to himself.
They forgot one step, which was the safety of the current Emperor Zhou.
