Chapter 526: News about the North

According to the original version of history, the current Jin state has entered a period where the Zhi family is the dominant family. Zhi Yao successively blackmailed the Wei family and the Han family, and then entered a stage of intense conflict with the Zhao family.

Also at this stage, the Yue State ruled by King Gou Jian of Yue seems to be extremely powerful and capable of challenging the Jin State. In fact, the Wu people are resisting constantly internally, which prevents the Yue State from easily provoking the Jin State.

The Chu State was first defeated by the Jin State in the "Hundred Years' War", and then suffered successive blows from the Wu State. They began to become a soy sauce character, losing the power of the previous southern hegemon, and experiencing repeated internal turmoil.

If no modern soul traveled through time and became Zhiyao, the head of this "Zhiyao" would be made into a wine glass in two or three years, and the Zhi family would also be divided among the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Han family.

As a time traveler, Zhi Yao has lived for more than seventy years in his two lives in total. In terms of mentality, he is indeed older than he looks. This is why he paved the way for Zhi Kai time and time again when there are no problems with his physical condition.

In fact, if the goal of "one world" were not motivating Zhiyao, he would have wanted to slowly transfer power to Zhikai and take advantage of the fact that he could still move around to visit various places.

Zhiyao has had a strong sense of crisis since she traveled through time, and no matter what she does, she will do everything to prevent her head from being turned into a wine glass.

When it was the Zhi family's turn to develop and grow, all of Zhi Yao's energy was diverted to making the family stronger, whether it was various developments, or turning the family into a country and then breaking up the family to become a country, for the sake of "everyone".

Not myself.

It can be said that, excluding the previous life, Zhiyao's life may seem beautiful, but in fact, she lives a very sad life. She has no chance to live for herself, and she does everything for others.

However, life is like that in the world, especially in the land of Zhuxia, who can live for himself? It was okay when he was young. After he got married, he became a father, mother, wife, and son. He was simply living for his relatives, and any effort was a waste of time.

I want my family to live a better life, but I have almost no extra energy to take care of myself.

"How many people envy me now? How do they know that I miss the me who can watch TV, surf the Internet, lie in bed and look at my mobile phone while sleeping." Zhiyao is looking at the busy but orderly construction site.

When the public transportation team learned that Zhiyao was coming, they came to wait on him as soon as possible.

Since Zhiyao didn't seem to show any interest in talking, others were naturally very sensible and didn't speak much.

Otherwise, the public transportation team should introduce the progress of the project to Zhiyao, and then look forward to what the "Zhongjing" will look like after it is completed.

The Gongshu class is the chief engineer who built "Zhongjing". The largest number of people in the team are not from the Gongshu clan. They only occupy less than one layer of it. The rest are trainees from "Huang Father".

As for those people, to put it bluntly, they were the people Zhiyao spent nearly thirty years cultivating, but they were educated in different times.

The results of Zhiyao's emphasis on education have been demonstrated, but due to the scale of education, the number of people is actually quite limited.

The number of people is limited compared with modern times, but in the era of the feudal dynasty, the results were extremely dazzling.

What is the most important thing? Those who get education, they are not just studying, but they can actually do things after they have achieved success in their studies.

The education model of the original country will continue to be promoted, and it is based on learning ability. In modern terms, it is a junior college or the like. It is difficult to produce great writers through this kind of education, but the probability of producing inventors is very high.

Under this educational concept, no one will be hit the hardest but Confucianism.

Of course, there is no Confucianism now. They may still appear, but they will only appear. I am afraid it will be difficult to become a prominent school.

After all, the original Congress expanded the education model from literacy to learning professional knowledge.

State-owned education is spreading. No matter how many disciples Confucian scholars recruit, can the scale of student resources still compare with that of the country?

Confucians do not have so many disciples and disciples, they can no longer win by quantity, and it is no longer difficult to acquire knowledge. It is really difficult to say how many people are willing to learn the Confucian way.

So, is Zhiyao carrying out national education? If it is yes, then it is not. If it is not, then it is not.

I'm not talking nonsense. National education is a kind of education that starts from scratch. Due to the limitations of teachers, the original country can only carry out such education in a small way for the time being. It is more about providing relevant skill training to literate people.

As more and more people become literate and there is no longer an urgent shortage of relevant national positions, it will be possible to roll out an education model similar to that of later generations that starts from primary school. It is only possible, and this process will definitely appear to be extremely long.

It is very likely that the Zhikai generation will still not be able to complete it, and even the third generation will only lay a foundation.

Zhiyao could actually choose another faster mode, which is to take out the imperial examination, but he would definitely follow the old path at the beginning, that is, although there is an imperial examination, the officials selected through the imperial examination will all be children of the nobility.

There is no way around this. Education for nobles is a family inheritance, and ordinary people cannot compete even if they are literate.

There is one thing that is absolutely certain. Once you take the imperial examination to get an official position, ordinary people will become more eager to acquire knowledge.

There is also the fact that once the imperial examination is the channel leading to officialdom, there will inevitably be a separation of civil and military affairs. If there is a conflict between civil and military affairs, the boundary between civilized and military men will become extremely clear, and there will be fewer and fewer people who are both civilized and military.

Being both civil and military would only appear in the classical aristocratic era, entering the era of imperial examinations. In order to be an official, you have to hold a book in both hands for twelve hours a day. How can you have extra time to exercise?

No matter how well-intentioned the starting point is for any matter, as long as there are divisions, parties will inevitably form factions, and then a situation will be formed where the parties are united and opposed by those who are different. Confrontation between civil and military forces is not possible, but will definitely happen.

And it is thought that the confrontation between civil and military forces only occurs in Zhuxia or the Chinese cultural circle. Unknown to other planets, this kind of situation occurs in every country in the small world.

"King?"

When Zhiyao heard the call, she turned around and saw Taihu, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

Don't get me wrong, Zhiyao has no problem with Taiwan Fox.

However, every time the Taiwanese fox appears outside of the plan, it basically brings bad news.

Sure enough, I heard Taihu say: "I will make a detailed return from the north and form an alliance with Yiqu and Bai Zhai on behalf of the country."

The Zhao Dynasty was the second country that explicitly formed an alliance with a foreign nation, the first being Qin.

After the Yuan Kingdom destroyed the Qin Kingdom, a group of Qin people migrated westward. They should be in the Weushui area now?

There have always been disguised Yuan Guo Xizuo among the Qin people. I dare not say that they can grasp any trends. At least large-scale migrations cannot escape their eyes.

The Qin people withdrew from the stage of competition among the Xia Dynasties. Whether their existing population can be passed down safely is a question, and this is presupposed that the original army does not pursue them again.

The Yuan Kingdom also had elaborate arrangements in the Zhao Dai Kingdom, and some spies even became middle-level managers of the Zhao Dai Kingdom. They were also unable to grasp all the affairs of the Zhao Dai Kingdom, and major events could not be hidden from the eyes of the Yuan Kingdom.

Zhiyao asked: "But it was caused by Dayuan's use of troops?"

Taihu did not dare to talk nonsense about his guesses, so he answered truthfully: "Daijun secretly met with Yiqu many times, and the leader of Bai Zhai. I heard that Dayuan was not involved, but Wushi."

It is true that even if the Yuan Kingdom is using troops on a large scale, Zhao Muxie's collusion with Yiqu and Bai Zhai will at most cause some trouble to the Yuan Kingdom. Once they invade the Yuan Kingdom, they will attract the Yuan Kingdom's attention. How dare they easily provoke the Yuan Kingdom?

?

Zhiyao looked at Taihu with a confused expression and waited for the next step.

Taihu didn't dare to show off. He even sped up his words because of Zhiyao's change in expression and said, "Xizuo sent back information that the Zhao family, Yiqu, and Bai Zhai have a combined force of about 80,000."

Eighty thousand? It’s not a small number.

Taking the Song Dynasty as an example, the maximum mobilization may only reach about 100,000 troops. The number of "scholars" and "disciples" in it will not exceed 30,000. The rest are either half-soldiers and half-peasants in reserve, or they are pure farmers.

The total population of Zhao Dai's country is only 200,000 to 300,000, the total population of Yiqu is no more than 300,000, and the number of Bai Zhai is about 200,000. Their combined population is no more than 800,000, and they mobilized 80,000 troops.

, it really can’t be said to be less.

The number reached 80,000, and no matter how many old, weak, women and children were included in the army to make up the number, this number had already exceeded the original country's predetermined warning line. How could it not be reported to Zhiyao?

Because of the destruction of Yan, the Yuan Kingdom transferred most of the frontier troops from Juzhu Mountain and Xiawushan to Yan District. The current defense line towards Dai District appears to be relatively weak.

Over in Qin, the Qin people have been resisting the rule of the original country. As a result, the original army of the original country in Qin is relatively scattered. There are only more than 30,000 original troops in Qin, and most of them are actually recruited temporarily.

The combat effectiveness of corvee soldiers is not guaranteed.

What corvee soldiers? Zhiyao has been carrying out reforms, hasn’t he?

There are currently two types of corvee in the original country, one is military service, and the other is gathering together for collective work.

According to regulations, registered men must serve at least three months of hard labor every year after reaching the age of 13. Most of them are done in their hometowns, or to build their hometowns.

Military service is divided into two categories. One is to receive training in one's hometown, which is the so-called "recruitment system."

Some garrison work may also go to border fortresses to guard the border.

People who are familiar with history will know at a glance which era's system Zhiyao copied. However, this system was already in use by the Qin State during the Warring States Period. It was not fully perfected until the Western Han Dynasty, and was applied by subsequent dynasties.

Unable to continue patrolling, Zhiyao returned to the palace and summoned Yang Hu.

Yang Hu, who was idle at the hotel, came quickly after being summoned, looking obviously excited.

"Your Majesty? I am willing to serve your Majesty!" Yang Hu saluted, not hiding his impatience.

Being idle is the greatest torture for people like them. Not only does it mean they are not taken seriously, but they also have no authority in their hands, and they feel uncomfortable everywhere in their body.

Why didn't Zhiyao summon others?

It's not that Yang Hu has no control over his words. He complains from time to time that he has talents but has no place to use them. While he feels wronged, Zhiyao, as the king of a country, is not very wise.

If it were in other eras, people like Yang Hu would have died in mysterious circumstances.

For example, in the early Han Dynasty, the Tingwei Bureau could search out the armored stomach of Bai Shi from Yang Hu's house in a matter of minutes, and on the charge of treason, the whole family would be pushed out of the food market and beheaded.

"I heard that you are always complaining at home that I have become a foolish king?" Zhiyao did not want to pursue Yang Hu's crime, but just a beating.

In fact, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were so many people who complained about underappreciating talents and talked about the king. Not a single person was executed for such crimes. At most, they were expelled from the country.

When Yang Hu heard this, he knelt down and said in a panic: "I drink wine and talk nonsense while drinking. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

It's not a punishment, but a forgiveness, which is very consistent with Yang Hu's character.

Zhiyao made another series of scoldings, which made Yang Hu tremble all over. After the heat was enough, he got down to business and said: "The alliance between Yiqu and Bai Zhai on behalf of the country is rumored to be to attack the Wushi. I don't want to lose the land of Qin.

I have ordered you to go to Qin. Do you know what you should do when you arrive in Qin?"

Yang Hu looked up at Zhiyao, and he could see surprise on his face. Then he calmed down and asked, "How many troops do you have under your command?"

Zhiyao said: "It does not exceed the number of two 'divisions', and most of them may be soldiers recruited by Qin."

There are Qin people who do not cooperate with the rule of the original country, how can there be no Qin people who are willing to accept the rule of the original country?

It should be said that about 70% of the Qin people are willing to accept the rule of the original country. They are also a group that does not care who the ruler is, as long as they can live a good life.

When Yang Hu heard this, he immediately judged that there was no chance for a big fight. He couldn't hide the disappointment on his face and said, "In this case, I will lead the army to the north to let them know that Oyuan has raised troops."

This person's emotional intelligence is very flawed, but his military ability is not bad.

The Yuan Kingdom is now at war with the Song State and the Yue State. The later decision to invade the Song State was because it had trapped the main force of the Vietnamese army, otherwise it would not have opened two fronts.

Since there are already two main battlefields, they definitely don't want new battles to occur in other places. Yang Hu's trip to Qin is more of a deterrent to Zhao Daiguo, Yiqu and Bai Zhai.

There are reasons why Zhiyao sent Yang Hu. The main reason is that the current idle general is Yang Hu. Secondly, the Zhao family is no stranger to Yang Hu.

Yang Hu's military ability is really not bad. Using the strength of two "divisions" may not be the opponent of Zhao's Daiguo, Yiqu, and Bai Zhai combined 80,000 troops. It is not difficult to insist on sending reinforcements to the original country.

In this case, even if Zhao Muji had previously pretended that attacking Wushi was a strategic deception, seeing Yang Hu appear in Qin, they could only pretend to attack Wushi.

After Zhiyao waited for Yang Hu to take the order and leave, she picked up the information about the Zhao family and read it several times. She felt in her heart: "Zhao Muxie is really a person who can't take any time off, and she has limited manpower and material resources.

Even below, my heart seems huge."

How to say?

The Zhao family built a city on the Jiuqu side of the river on behalf of the country. The scale of the city may not be large, but it will become the first city there.

They were already building the city, and they were hooking up with Yiqu and Bai Zhai at the same time. It was hard to say whether they were targeting the Wushi. Maybe Zhao Muxie was eyeing Yiqu and Bai Zhai?
