Chu and Song are currently allies of Yue, and their armies are marching under the banner of protecting Yue.
Is it an invasion or a protection? The Chu army and the Song army will never attack the Yue country at the beginning. What they will do is to help the Yue country resist the invasion of the original country.
Waiting for the news that one day the main force of the Yue Kingdom will be severely damaged or annihilated by the original army in the north, the Chu army and the Song army, which were the guardians of the Yue Kingdom, will surely transform into traitors and then start to occupy the cities and villages of the Yue Kingdom.
.
In the past, someone would always say that "the rites are broken and the music is broken" or something like that. At that time, it was just that the vassal states no longer respected the Zhou royal family, and many other rules were still followed.
First forming an alliance, and then marching in in the name of protection with false intentions, waiting to switch to the role of an intruder at any time. In fact, it is abandoning everything that has been observed before, and it is truly entering the era of the collapse of etiquette and the collapse of music.
Zhiyao, who was in "Zhongjing", heard about the situation of Chu and Song, and secretly applauded the actions of Song and Chu.
By the way, why does Zhiyao still have the heart to appreciate him? Shouldn't he be angry because the meat on his lips is going to be taken away by Chu and Song?
There is a very complicated relationship involved here, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Today, Zhiyao called Zhikai, and the first thing he said when he saw him was: "Is the prince confident of leading the army to destroy the Song Dynasty?"
Destroy the Song Dynasty?
Zhikai had no psychological resistance to the country that killed his wife. He answered confidently first, and then asked hesitantly: "What about going to Badi?"
Crown Princess Mizi is pregnant, and Zhikai is already making preparations to go to Pakistan according to the established plan.
"Go slowly to Badi first," Zhiyao said with a smile.
Zhiyao wanted Zhikai to go to Ba, mainly to express the original country’s importance to Ba, and secretly to let Zhikai understand Ba’s mountains, rivers, geography, and people’s customs, so that he would not worry about the annexation of Ba and Shu in the future.
Blinded by both eyes.
The Yuan Kingdom planned to annex the Shu and Ba Kingdoms, mostly to take advantage of the river flowing downstream to destroy the Chu Kingdom in the future.
Compared to going to Badi, Zhikai was of course more willing to lead his army to invade the Song Dynasty, and he was extremely grateful to Zhiyao for repeatedly creating military achievements for him.
The Jin State was a military-fruitarian country, and no matter how good your literary talents were, it was not as good as performing well in a battle to score points.
Today's original country is still a militarist country. No matter how well it manages its internal affairs, will its contribution to the destruction of the country be taken seriously?
If Zhikai can lead the army to destroy the country, not only will the crown prince's position be very stable, he will also be able to control the army like a master when he takes over the rule of the country, and there is a greater chance of eliminating the possibility of family rebellion.
As for the fact that Zhiyao has repeatedly paved the way for Zhikai's future before she is fifty? Which father is not like this?
Besides, the relationship between the father and son of the royal family in the current era is really not like that of later dynasties. Not to mention that Zhikai will not get much support if he wants to ascend to power early. Zhiyao's prestige alone can make Zhikai want to do anything.
Countless people reported it.
Zhiyao is really not worried at all about the fate of King Zhao Wuling. What about Jin Hui Emperor Sima Zhong, Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, etc. The times are different, and the national conditions are different. Unless Zhiyao is
If you are willing, you won't have to worry about becoming the Supreme Emperor one day.
"The three 'armies' have set off for 'Taoqiu'. You say goodbye to your wife and concubines and go to lead them." After Zhiyao finished speaking, he patted Zhikai's shoulder to encourage him.
Zhikai didn't act like a son for any reason. He turned around and walked a few steps towards the door. When he thought about it, he stopped and turned around again and asked: "Father, who is on my left?"
The last time Zhikai led his army to destroy Yan, his team was extremely luxurious.
Currently, Sima Ranju is in charge of the war with the Vietnamese army over there in Donglai, and many generals from the original country are also there.
Zhi Kai asked, and he began to make a list in his mind. After thinking about it, he felt that the team this time should be good?
Zhiyao read some people's names, waved her hand, and urged: "Go."
After hearing the list, Zhikai was a little dumbfounded.
Who are those people? The only one who is famous is Zhi Xuwu, the one who can be regarded as a veteran general is Qin, Gao Qiang, and the rest are all new generations.
Although Zhikai has always been pampered, there is no unconditional pampering. He is so proud of being favored that he can't see it. After being stunned, he salutes again, turns around and leaves again.
The so-called new generation, some are the children of established nobles, and more are people who have been promoted from the grassroots level in previous wars.
In the original country, in terms of percentages, the upper echelons were of course the old aristocrats, while the middle and lower classes were ordinary common people who stood out during the founding war and subsequent wars.
Speaking of which, Zhiyao has trained a lot of people, but I don’t know what the situation is. He has not trained any top people, but they have become the backbone of the original country in various fields.
This is actually quite good, because it allows one person to appear with extraordinary magnificence, while the rest of the people are extremely ordinary. They might as well serve as the backbone of a certain position, not very outstanding but capable of doing the job.
Only a small number of people can lead a country to take off. However, if we want the country to truly remain strong, we cannot do without the middle and grassroots people. It can even be said that there are not a large number of middle and grassroots people who work silently. The emergence of one or two outstanding individuals can basically lead the country.
Not flying across the country.
After all, if you haven’t laid a solid foundation, how can you take off?
Zhiyao has realized a problem. If his generation can achieve "one world", it can only wipe out the Ba Kingdom, Shu Kingdom, Yang Yue and other Yues. There is really no time to do other things.
If there is a relatively similar history? You can think of Zhiyao as the combination of the First Emperor and the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. Even if you have extra energy after completing these things, you should pay more attention to internal stability. You really can't be too arrogant and continue to expand.
Nowadays, the original country can dispatch eight legions without affecting other matters.
At present, Zhiyao has indeed mobilized eight legions, three legions are engaged in the battle against the Vietnamese army in the north, three legions are intended to destroy the Song State, and the remaining two legions are used to defend against the Chu State and are also reserve forces.
Taking a legion of 37,500 combatants, eight legions is exactly an integer of 300,000.
Of course, the number of combat troops is that, and with the addition of auxiliary troops, it reaches about 550,000.
The total population of the original country was about 10 million, and 550,000 people were mobilized for the war. The mobilization rate was about 18%.
Regardless of the fact that the mobilization rate of 18% seems quite high, it is really nothing considering the characteristics of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.
In the original version of history, the Qin State repeatedly mobilized an army of 5.6 million with a total population of 4.5 million. It has never been seen that the Qin State completely withered after mobilizing once. It can even be said that the mobilization rate of that kind of troops was quite frequent.
Where has the Yuan Kingdom reached this point? Instead of using large-scale troops every year, the number of troops mobilized in peacetime is basically less than 100,000.
In the past, the Jin State mobilized more than 100,000 troops every year, but it did not collapse. Instead, it brought down the Chu State, which was known to have a vast territory and abundant resources.
"Has the prince left Zhongjing?" Fen Ying came here specially to find Zhiyao.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if the queen wanted to participate in politics, she could participate to a very deep extent.
Fen Ying rarely participates in politics anymore and only pays attention when it involves wisdom.
Zhiyao didn't even raise his head and said, "Since you are the prince, how can you not serve the country?"
To be honest, the main reason is that there is no extra room for operation, otherwise Zhiyao would have wanted to throw Zhikai out when he was still young and put him in an ordinary home to raise, or simply let Zhikai wander.
That's right, what I learned is the Qin State's way of educating heirs. He will never be allowed to grow up in a comfortable environment, and he will be given as many hardships as he can.
Under such an education method, the heirs may hate their parents, but waiting for them to be sensible and take over the country will definitely turn into gratitude.
Many heirs are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart. However, the people and things they come into contact with are limited. They are either too easy to be fooled by others, or because they have not experienced setbacks, they are useless when they encounter setbacks for the first time.
The Qin State was like that, and so was the Han Dynasty. Even if you look through the history books and look at the growth trajectory of the wise kings in the past dynasties, you will find that most of them have experienced hardships.
However, the monarchs of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods are not included. Although there were more than 200 emperors in the history of the Xia Dynasty, there were only a few wise kings.
Fen Ying sat next to Zhiyao and whispered, "Mizi must not know about this matter."
Zhiyao is not stupid.
The Crown Princess is pregnant and knows that the Yuan Kingdom is trying to destroy the Song Kingdom, so it would be bad if something goes wrong.
"Women's lives are really miserable." Fen Ying said again.
Zhiyao knows what’s inside.
Back then, Zhiyao didn't care about Fen Ying's feelings and just said she wanted to remove the Zhao family from the Jin Kingdom.
At this time, everything a man says is wrong.
Zhi Yao couldn't say that it was already a life-and-death situation. If Fen Ying hadn't done that, her husband's head would have been turned into a wine glass. The Zhi family would have perished and no one in the clan would survive, including Fen Ying.
The child Ying gave birth to, right?
What's the point of telling it if it didn't happen?
Furthermore, what happens if Zhiyao, as the winner, is cooed by his wife?
Fen Ying knew what was right, chatted with Zhiyao for a few words, and left without saying anything more.
Zhiyao, who was originally handling government affairs, was interrupted and found that she could no longer calm down, so she simply ordered: "I will patrol the city."
Just one sentence, I don’t know how many people are as busy as a top and maintain the highest vigilance.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Zhiyao had already left the palace city.
The current "Zhongjing" only has about 60% of the palace city completed. This percentage is only due to Zhikai's wedding.
Do you know one thing? Even in the imperial era, the emperor's palace is not 100% complete. In fact, a certain area will be left abandoned, and temporary planning will be made if necessary.
As the new capital of the original country, Zhiyao's plan was to build a large and magnificent city. Under this concept, the "Zhongjing" city wall was twenty-two miles long and nineteen miles wide.
Because "Zhongjing" is large enough, the city wall extends directly to the river. This also involves digging a canal to serve as a moat and then diverting water into the city.
For such a huge project, the original country invested more than 300,000 slaves in the early days. Later, ordinary people's corvees were added, and about 200,000 corvees were recruited every year, which was equivalent to maintaining a labor force of 500,000 people a year to build the city.
After two years have passed, the palace city is 60% complete, the city walls have been built, and the residential areas and other areas for ordinary people are only about 16% complete.
The main reason why we can achieve such rapid progress is that we have invested in enough tools and they are really easy to use and convenient.
Let's put it this way, just by using the crane wheel, it would have taken a huge amount of manpower to lift something to a high height, but it can be completed by the cooperation of two or three people.
The tools put into use are not only pulleys, but also wooden tracks are laid for transportation. There are countless other tools that can save manpower.
According to the public transportation team's estimates, it will take another two years to complete all the tasks that should be completed in "Zhongjing".
Perhaps because the progress was too fast, the public transportation team gave Zhiyao a suggestion, thinking that a large ferry could be built outside the North City Gate to facilitate the exchange of goods.
If there is no drought, except for a few steep river sections, the river can indeed be used for river transportation. It would be a pity not to use it.
However, there is a time limit for using large rivers for transportation. It is frozen for at least two months every year, unlike large rivers that can be used regardless of season as long as they are dredged.
Zhiyao originally wanted to name the new capital "Chang'an", but later changed it to "Zhongjing" due to new circumstances.
The capital city was chosen to be in the Wei area, which is very suitable for the current strategic needs of the original country. It will still be located at the center of the country after "One World".
In terms of transportation convenience, "Zhongjing" is more suitable as the capital. If there are any hidden dangers, firstly, it is on the edge of a large river, and secondly, there is no danger to defend due to the vast plains.
According to Zhiyao's vision, new enemies will appear in the original country at different times. A "Zhongjing" is just the beginning. In the future, Zhiyao will build another big city in Qin. It will not use the name "Chang'an" and will use the name "Xijing".
"Name it.
With "Zhongjing" and "Xijing" in place, it would be appropriate to add "Tokyo" and "Nanjing".
"Tokyo" will be chosen to be the capital of Yan State.
"Nanjing" was chosen as the capital of Chu State.
In the early days, these cities named after "京" must have been military strongholds to stabilize their local rule. As time passed and local people were successfully integrated, the cities would become metropolises.
Zhiyao discussed this idea with Zhikai, and they agreed that it might consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but it would be of great use to the country, and the plan should be implemented no matter what.
No matter how much manpower and material resources are expended, can it be compared with establishing a stable rule? Obviously it cannot.
As for whether the city that the Yuan Kingdom has worked so hard to build will be captured? If it is really that bad, maybe we can rely on other "Beijing" level cities to survive and try to revive, otherwise the basic market is already rotten, or
It cannot be saved completely, and it can be regarded as a trace of the original existence of the original country.
"I will be fifty years old during the Chinese New Year?" Zhiyao stood on the north city wall, looking into the distance while the wind blew, and felt that time flew by so fast!
