Author: July New Fan Title:
In the early spring of the fifteenth year of Qin Bopan (477 BC), the north wind blew across the land of Yongzhou. Shaking and trembling. If you like to play and watch, come to Lewen. .
On the north bank of the Weishui Plain, separated by a river, in a place called Xianyang, a tragic battle is coming to an end. In the twilight of early spring, the battlefield is full of corpses, discarded chariots, and panic-stricken horses that have lost their masters. The black giant of the Qin people has firmly occupied a small hill in the center of the battlefield. The soldiers of the Qin army are standing by, looking at the enemy that has been defeated like a tide to the north, cheering bursts of cheers.
However, the children of Qin’s public clan all crowded under the sect, watching nervously at the injury of their commander-in-chief, the eldest son of the sect. During the stalemate in the previous battle, the great concubine led the charge and charged the enemy into two sections at one go, but the copper clusters of the Yiqu Rong people also shot into his thigh at an extremely tricky angle, more than four inches deep, facing such a situation. Seriously injured, the wounded doctor is hesitant.
“Broken arrow!” The elder, who was already gray-haired, was not afraid. After taking a sip of strong wine, he said loudly, “If the wounded doctor keeps shooting arrows, the old man will have his head cut off!”
“only!”
The wounded doctor gritted his teeth, raised his knife, cut off the shaft of the arrow, and then continued to treat the injury for him.
Zipu didn’t care about his own safety, and when the wounded doctor was bandaging, he repeatedly ordered: “The Rong people are the enemies of the twentieth generation of our Qin country, you should stop here and watch, our army has won a great victory in this battle. , Yiqu escaped, hurry up to pursue!”
The generals of the Qin state led the officials away, and they chased and beat the aliens in the north. Zipu was relieved, sitting under the big awning, looking at the blood-like sunset, and burst into laughter. .
“For more than ten years, I have endured humiliation and finally got a big victory today. It’s worth it!”
It turned out that in the second year of Qin Bopan, the Qin State experienced a great defeat in Hedong, and was attacked by the Zhao clan to Jingyang, and even a partial division went deep into the foot of Qishan and set fire to a small town attached to Yongdu. Thirteen years have passed.
In the past thirteen years, the conservative and backward Qin State has begun to turn around with difficulty. While delivering a large amount of grain to Zhao State every year, secretly began to re-accumulate strength, recruit Wei’s remnants to reform the army, and practice battle formation in Lantian. Hope One day I can be ashamed.
Unexpectedly, the old shame has not disappeared, and the new shame will come again. First, the prince of Qin State was forced to enter Yecheng as a hostage, and then Qin Bopan went to participate in the Huangchi meeting, was forced to play music for Zhao Wuxi, and was also taken by the historian of Zhao State. The church records: “In five years of the Duke, Duke and Uncle Qin had a drink, and Uncle Qin was ordered to strike the fou…”
After Qin Bopan returned, he was ashamed of the incident, and said to Zipu with grief and indignation: “In the past, my predecessor Mu Gong cultivated morality and practiced martial arts, and the east was pacified by the chaos of Jin, and the river was the boundary. Princes Bihe, how strong and prosperous Qin is! As for the widow, the country is poor and weak, the Zhao clan seized the land of Hexi, my former ruler, the prince was taken hostage, humiliated by Huangchi, the princes were humbled by Qin, so ugly! Thinking about the past, widowers often feel pain in My heart, I want to make the system easier, and I want to conquer the east and restore the homeland of Duke Miao, and I hope the great concubine will conspire with me!”
Since then, with the full support of the monarch, the reform of the Qin state has begun to deepen, and the eldest son of the concubines, Pu, has full authority to preside over this matter. Qin’s national conditions were different from those of Chu. Although the princes and concubines had always been powerful, they never had large fiefs. In addition, Qin was surrounded by Rong and Di, and had no conditions to be as extravagant as Chu. Therefore, the nobles He still maintains the spirit of hard work and martial arts. He is not as corrupt as the Chu nobles. He regards change as a beast of a flood. Under the severe stimulation of national humiliation, almost the whole country’s public family is slowly persuaded and willing to move forward in Zipu’s footsteps.
But it is also not easy for Qin to reform. The backward economy, production and customs cannot be corrected within a year or two, not to mention that a large number of year-old coins are given to Zhao every year, which makes the already bad domestic economy even worse. .
In a closed society like Qin, the wealth of the country is almost unchanged, not to mention the continuous outflow, and it is not surprising that it is becoming less and less. If you want to strengthen the army, but cannot make external achievements and seize resources in a short period of time, the only way is to squeeze it internally. With the sudden disintegration of the well-field system in the Qin state, the social disparity between the rich and the poor intensified. In addition, Zipu ordered that those who did not divide their families should pay four times the tax, so a large number of clans were divided.
Such decrees help the small peasant economy, but are very unfriendly to the poor. Relatively wealthy families split up their families as soon as their children reached their prime; poor families had no choice but to go bankrupt because they could not afford the household duties, and they pledged their children to wealthy families and became serfs and sons-in-law who became slaves.
The new law blocked the merchants and forced the common people to focus only on farming and warfare. Therefore, Qin’s reforms were different from those of Zhao and Chu, but they took a unique path, that is, they turned sharply towards the road of serfdom.
“Make the people poor and make the people miserable, so that they can be decapitated and meritorious, and the army can be prosperous!”
Adhering to this idea, three years ago, the Qin State began to attack the surrounding Rong and Di states, and the weak Mian Zhu Rong was the first to take the brunt. Pointing the finger at Yiqurong…
Although Zhao State faced Qin’s oppression from the east, the real confidant of Qin State was Yiqu. After the Yiqu annexation of the northern kingdoms, they have become extremely powerful. They gave up their pure nomadic life, built fortresses to defend themselves, and continued to encroach on Qin’s land. In the past ten years, they took the Zhao State to break Qin and invited Zhao. Wu Xie destroyed Qin and divided his land together. After being rejected, he still refused to forgive Qin. Every summer and autumn, he would definitely send a chariot into Qin to harass and loot.
In response to the dexterous maneuvering of the Yiqu people coming and going like the wind, Zipu set up a strategy to deliberately show weakness and lure the Rong people into Qin territory, releasing a large number of cattle, sheep and people on the border of Qin and Rong.
Sure enough, under the temptation of interests, Lord Yiqu couldn’t hold back. He personally commanded 30,000 Rong people from Jingbei to the Weinan area, looting nearly 10,000 Qin people and 100,000 livestock, before returning home after showing off his power.
However, the three armies of the Qin army, who had already come prepared, were already standing by in the Xianyang area of Weibei.
“In this battle, our Qin army suffered thousands of casualties, but the people of Yiqu were also beheaded nearly 10,000. With the generals chasing them, the main force of Yiqu must basically be explained here. This is a good opportunity from heaven, even if the old man is injured, he must Lead the army to the north to chase the army, recapture Mishu and Bin, and go straight to the old nest of Lord Yiqu in the north! Plow the courtyard and sweep the cave! No poison left behind!”
The eldest son of the great concubine Pu was so excited that the wound on his chest burst into pain, causing him to sit down again.
The wounded doctor quickly persuaded: “The sultan, the emperor has an illness, and he won’t be able to leave Yongcheng this year. The Qin country is counting on you, and also wants to take care of his body.”
Thinking of Uncle Qin’s body, Zipu couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. He couldn’t let go of the humiliation that he once let the Qin country fall into the war, so he was old and strong, but Uncle Qin, who was less than forty years old, was already terminally ill. Soon to be dead.
“It’s also time to welcome the prince back.”
Zipu thought so, and his brows eased a lot. It seems that he insisted on sending the young prince to Zhao as a hostage, which was a wise move.
The prince of the Qin State, Young Master Thorn, is still in Yecheng of the State of Zhao, but the crown prince can be described as bearing the burden of humiliation. He pretended to be obedient in front of Hou Zhao, but secretly contacted the people of Qin and informed some military intelligence of the State of Zhao. Zipu.
For example, last year, Hou Zhao claimed that he was going to expedition North Korea. For this reason, he mobilized a large number of troops and ordered ships to be repaired along the coast. However, when the civil strife in Chu came back in July, the prince thorn came back and said that in fact, Zhao Hou’s move was only to confuse the state of Chu, so that the state of Chu fell into civil strife, so that he could go south to destroy Chu in one fell swoop!
The prince said in the silk book: “The state of Chu is so great. If Zhao wants to destroy Chu, he will use the entire force of the whole country to go south. It will take three or five years to obtain its full power. When Zhao Guo is tired of fighting Chu, will he recover the land west of Jingyang? At that time, the boy will also wait for the opportunity to escape from Yecheng.”
Zipu and Qin Bo hesitated for a long time about Prince Thorn’s suggestion. Until last month, Zhao State suddenly destroyed Zheng State. At the same time, a large number of troops were assembled on the border of Zhao and Chu, and they began to nibble on the cities and towns abandoned by Chu State, taking all of them. In Rubei, a large army gathered, and it was indeed a posture of going south and merging with Chu.
Seeing this situation, Qin talents do not doubt that he has him. As for Chu State, Zipu can only hope that they will seek more happiness for themselves, while Qin State has started the war with Yiqu. From last autumn and winter to now, finally in Xianyang Great victory in the encounter…
But Qin people ~www.mtlnovel.com~ are also extremely tired and scarred.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as the Yi Canal is destroyed, the Rong people are subdued and rewarded as slaves to the meritorious soldiers. In this way, just like the Zhao State, a virtuous circle of military merit and nobility can be created. Repeatedly, the army will become stronger and stronger, and the territory will become bigger and bigger!”
With such longing, Zipu caressed the wound, lay under the big scorpion, and was about to fall asleep…
However, a rush of footsteps disturbed his sweet dream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a messenger sweating profusely.
“What’s the matter? Could it be that he has caught up with Lord Yiqu and beheaded him?”
The herald didn’t know how long he ran on horseback, his mouth was blisters, his throat was dry, he couldn’t speak for a while, he just shook his head.
“Could it be your Majesty…” Zipu’s face changed greatly, if Qin Bopan left and went to Huangquan at this time, and the Prince of Qin was outside, he would enter a period of vacancy!
The herald shook his head again, but handed Zipu the urgent report in his hand.
Zipu glanced at it, and his lips, which had lost their blood due to arrow wounds, became paler and whiter as snow.
“Marquis Zhao…a handsome teacher of 100,000 entered Qin?” These words were squeezed out of his teeth, and Zipu’s eyes, which had been revived with hope because of this great victory, also became confused. Panic, and the anger of being deceived…
“The reason is to find a home for Uncle Zheng, to ask for Xizheng, the eastern gateway of our Qin country, and even the whole of Weinan!?”
After tearing up the silk book, Zipu vomited blood: “What is the northern expedition to Korea, what is the south to destroy Chu! Ziji (Prince Qin), Qin, and even the whole world have been tricked. Zhao Wuxi’s real purpose is to Qin State!”
