Chapter 1256 Ji Jiu Lao Qin(1/2)
After quelling the rebellion, Li Mu once told King Zhao that he would lead his troops to pursue and suppress the remnants of Zhao Mu.
Li Mu said it very clearly that this remnant is Wang Xiao.
The scale of Zhao Mu's rebellion this time was large, and the main reason was that a large number of city guards from Handan City participated.
And these people are nominally under the jurisdiction of Wang Xiao.
If Wang Xiao had not participated in it, it would have been impossible for Zhao Mu to bring such great damage to Handan City with thousands of visitors and the thousands of defenders he had bribed.
After a great war, Handan City could be said to have all industries withered, and countless people died in the war.
What's even more terrible is that many people took the opportunity to rob and set fire, and half of the city of Handan was destroyed by the fire.
Zhao Mu, the main blacklist who caused all this, was dead, but his important assistant Wang Xiao was gone.
When I sent someone to Wujiabao, I saw a fortress churning in the flames.
Not only Wang Xiao, the entire Wu family ran away.
This was another heavy punch on King Zhao. In this war-torn era, the Wu family’s animal husbandry played a crucial role in any country.
Their Wu family can not only provide important war horses and plowing oxen, but also provide a large amount of fur and meat.
These are indispensable to any country.
King Zhao, who was still sad and had no friends, was furious after learning that the Wu family had run away. He did not consider his oppression of the Wu family at all. Instead, he hysterically expressed his desire to kill all the Wu family.
But when Li Mu proposed to chase Wang Xiao, King Zhao did not agree.
Li Mu expressed confusion, but King Zhao did not explain for him.
Later, Sima Shang, the deputy general, quietly said to Li Mu, "The king had just experienced rebellion, how could he have the courage to let the general lead his troops outside?"
Li Mu remained silent after hearing this, and after a long time he sighed to the sky.
He really wanted to chase Wang Xiao, because in Li Mu's opinion, Wang Xiao's threat was even greater than Zhao Mu.
This person is smart and smart, and he is very good at leading troops to fight.
When he was in Zhao, he was naturally the future star of Zhao. But when he fled to another country, he was a major concern for Zhao.
It’s a pity that King Zhao, who was scared out of his courage, did not dare to let any general lead the army at this time.
Wang Xiao, who left Handan City, did not go to chase the Wu family.
He and Zhao Qian rode together, avoiding the official road and densely populated areas, and riding their horses leisurely in the wilderness.
When you travel during the day, enjoy the beautiful and absolutely primitive natural scenery.
Set up a tent at night, eat and drink and drill the tents together to play cards and fight landlords.
Such a life is what many workers living in the modern world dream of.
The two of them walked leisurely and comfortably, and finally arrived at the Qin border.
Speaking of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, we cannot bypass Qin anyway.
The birthplace of Qin State is on the east bank of Qinchuan upstream of the Wei River, so Qin is the name of the country.
Since the ancestor Fei Lian started, the Qin people have admired martial style and struggled to survive in this difficult land in the form of a nomadic clan that chased water and plants.
They fought against the Western Rong and the Quan Rong for a long time, and their history, every word is written in blood and tears.
By the way, Fei Lian is a descendant of Zhuanxu, the grandson of Huangdi, and a definite descendant of Yan and Huang.
Those who say that the Qin people are barbarians should check the history carefully before speaking.
Because of the harsh strategic environment, the old Qin people gradually developed a hard-working character.
Even a thousand years later, all dynasties recognized the combat effectiveness of the Qin soldiers.
For example, the last army that could be fought in the late Ming Dynasty was the Qin army commanded by Sun Chuanting.
During the reign of King Xiao of Zhou, Fei Zi, a surnamed Ying, was granted the title of this for raising horses for the Zhou family and establishing a vassal in Kinki.
In fact, it was the arduous mission of guarding the border and defending the barbarian Rong for the Zhou royal family.
At that time, Qin was indeed located in the Kinki region, because the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty was Haojing in Guanzhong.
Before King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, had been called Xibo Hou before he started a war against King Zhou, and his fief was in Guanzhong.
The land of Guanzhong, especially Chang'an, can be said to be a collection of history and culture.
From Fengjing, the earliest city, to Haojing, the earliest capital.
From Xianyang in the Great Qin Dynasty to Chang'an in the Western Han Dynasty.
From Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty to Chang'an City in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
In fact, so many capitals are basically concentrated in the northern foothills of the Qinling Mountains, surrounded by the eight waters. The distance between them is not far from each other, and they can be reached by bus.
This land nurtured the culture of China’s previous years.
It was not until the soil erosion was severe and the status of the former granary was gradually lost, Guanzhong gradually declined.
The Yellow River was still very clear in this era, and it is now called the Great River.
For the Qin people, the long years of Western Zhou Dynasty for more than 400 years were their most difficult and difficult years.
The old Qin people defended the Western defense of the Zhou Dynasty, which was ruled by the Zhou Dynasty with their blood and sweat and the lives of countless tribes, and at the same time continuously expanded their living space to the West.
This courageous spirit of facing harsh challenges and perseverance layed an extremely solid foundation for the later prosperity of Qin.
The rise of Qin State was due to the injustice of King You of Zhou, which led to the attack of Quanrong into Haojing and the destruction of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The former Zhou emperor lost his supreme authority because they were defeated by foreign races.
King Ping moved eastward, and Duke Xiang of Qin was promoted to the rank of princes by King Ping for his contribution to protecting the emperor. Qin finally had the legal status of the princes.
The Zhou royal family left and went to Luoyi.
Guanzhong, a former Kinki land, has since belonged to Qin.
However, although it occupied the plump Guanzhong land, when the Warring States Period began, Qin was recognized as a weak country.
There are many reasons, such as low productivity, ignorant culture, and fighting for power and profit from the superiors.
When Wu Qi attacked Qin, he was so powerful that he could be said to be unstoppable.
In the Battle of Hexi, Wu Qi defeated 500,000 Wei Wu soldiers, which was a rare victory.
It was this battle that directly awakened the old Qin people.
They began to seek a way out to enrich the country and strengthen the army.
The real takeoff of Qin State was during the periods of Qin Xiaogong and Gongsun Yang.
Everyone may be a little confused about Gongsun Yang, but everyone must know his other name, because they have to take the exam.
His other name is Shang Yang.
Shang Yang was named Yang, named Ji, Gongsun.
He was from Wei State and was also called Wei Yang before he defected to Qin State.
He is a representative figure of the Legalists and laid a solid foundation for the Qin State.
The reason why historical records record him as Shang Yang was because he was given to Shang in the fifteenth town by Duke Xiao of Qin for his contributions, and was named "Shang Jun", which is Shang Yang.
What is said here is meritorious, not because he has meritorious in reform.
In Qin, there is only one kind of contribution, that is, military merit.
Shang Yang obtained the fief because he personally led his troops to regain the Hexi land occupied by the Wei State.
The award of military merits is a provision in Shang Yang's reform.
The real Shang Yang reform was not just about military merits.
This reform destroyed the traditional clan and tribal structure of the Qin State and unified the weights and measures of the whole country. The land was classified into 31 counties and the boundaries of the old sealed areas were abolished. The people could own private land, and the state directly calculated the land and taxed it.
There is also a reform of the recruit system, judging titles based on military merits, and elevating the royal power to the limit at that time.
The capital was moved to Xianyang and magnificent city palaces and palaces were built to enhance prestige.
Moreover, Shang Yang said to the people of the six countries, "As long as you come to Qin, you will be given land, planting grain, and renting agricultural tools for you. And you will be exempted from tax for three years."
Such generous treatment immediately attracted a large number of people to Qin, greatly enriching the population of Qin.
And in the war era, population is the most important foundation.
After more people became more and more, Shang Yang had to find a way to activate their enthusiasm.
So Shang Yang said to the Qin people, "Let's go to war, and when you have a war, you will be chopped off your head. If you have a brain, you will be paid and fed by your slaves and your house and your women...'
Anyway, as long as you can win, you can give whatever you want.
This regulation completely stimulated the combat effectiveness of the old Qin people, and he was so brave and fearless when fighting.
In the era of cold weapons, an army that is fearless and fearless is difficult to defeat.
Just like in the late Ming Dynasty in history, the Qing Dynasty had only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses entering the pass. How could it steal the inheritance of the world's destruction of clothes and clothes?
Only by relying on these tens of thousands of people, even if they were all beaten up, they were all hammered.
