I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 346 It's time for a new move

The same is two chapters in a row, in order to ask for a monthly pass, it was updated in advance.So, dear ones, can you give the author a guaranteed monthly pass?
……………text……………

Faced with frequent changes, especially in the short period of three to five years, three monarchs were changed, and two of them were still killed. The upper structure of Qi State has actually collapsed.

If there is no external force to interfere with Qi, or if the interference is not strong enough, they can still use time to calm down the chaos and establish a superstructure.The more terrible thing is that for Qi Guo, what they lack is precisely time.

Qi Junwan and his followers sat on the sidelines and even helped the Zhi family occupy the upper reaches of the Jishui River. First, they knew that they needed the support and support of the Zhi family, and secondly, the current state of Qi was simply unable to resist the Zhi family.

In the final analysis, the hearts of the Qi people were confused, and their strength did not allow them. After repeated hesitation and entanglement, they chose a method that would cause the least harm and even possible recovery.

The overall strength is not as good as that of others. Facing repeated external compromises will hit the hearts of the inside.

Many people have encountered this kind of predicament in history, and it depends on whether they can turn things around in the future. If they succeed, they will naturally try their best. If they fail, they will become Li Zhongtang.

Why not judge a hero by success or failure?Fake!
Time is passing, but only one truth remains forever.That is, the winners do everything right, and the losers are always losers no matter how hard they try.

Maybe Qi Junwan and the others didn't think so thoroughly about the Tao. They really believed that the Zhi family or any other external invaders were not the main enemy, and it was the Tian family who formed the actual separatist regime that would really cause fatal results.

"Helping Qi become an army? It's a matter of course." Zhiyao readily agreed.

Do you think anyone can play with Jin's large army?First of all, there must be enough "soldiers", "disciples" and "envy" in the country, otherwise, what's the use of having a large establishment without qualified soldiers.

Even in the past, that is, after Qi's hegemony weakened, it was in the stage of Qi's re-emergence, and their army wanted to be reformed into a large establishment, which is actually quite difficult.

When the population of Qi was the largest, it was about 200 million?

They annexed Lai country, doubling the original territory at once!
Indeed, the sphere of influence of Lai State is not smaller than that of Qi State. Qi State's annexation of Lai State was very quick and simple. It did not encounter strong resistance from Lai State. It only took less than three years to complete the annexation .

Here is Qi Guo and Chu Guo learning some tricks, and they also played their own new tricks.

What is the situation?

A certain Qi Jun married his daughter to the current Lai Jun, and then spent another 20 years infiltrating the high-level of Lai country, and picked the fruit as soon as it was ripe.

Therefore, marry someone first, then turn your back on the person and cheat your own territory to kill them. The Lu family with the surname Jiang in Qi State used this trick earlier than the Zhao family with the surname Ying.

I don't know if Zhao Wuxie picks up people's teeth?Anyway, in the actions of Qi State to annex Lai State, many operations of Chu State can be seen.

With the current basic situation of Qi Jungan, even with the permission of the Jin State, how large an army can they form?
There were repeated civil strife in Qi State, especially after playing a big game with Wu Jun in "Ai Ling", and then the civil strife continued. Many of their princes became naked, and they had no money at the same time, mainly because they had no one. The problem is the worst.

Qi Jun said stubbornly: "There is something that needs Jin Qing's full help."

According to their opinion, the nobles of Qi State in the upper reaches of Jishui River, including those who have the qualifications to become soldiers, should be included in the scope of Qi State.

Of course, that group of people can migrate, and the land and ordinary Li Shu belong to the Zhi clan.

Zhiyao blinked repeatedly, pretending to be thinking.

This time, Qi Guojun and his subjects became very nervous, fearing that Zhiyao would reject him.

The places currently under the rule of Qi Junwan have shrunk by about three-fifths, and are more concentrated near Yishui.

The surrounding area of ​​Jishui fell into the hands of the Zhi family, including "Linzi", the capital of Qi State.

In Donglai, the Tian family is actually separatist. I heard that the Tian family has signs of backdoor listing and wants to restore the Chen Kingdom in Donglai.

The kings and ministers of the Qi State definitely don't want to lose the capital of "Linzi". It used to be an administrative center, and more importantly, the tombs of the ancient kings of the Qi State are there!
Still the same problem, not only can Qi State not completely turn against the Zhi family, but also use the power of the Zhi family to eliminate the Tian family and regain Donglai. The ownership of "Linzi" can only be temporarily blurred.

Although there is no idiom "curve to save the country", and Qi Junwan and others do not have a clear understanding, some actions are following that route.

Of course, it is inevitable to compromise and seek perfection, and they also know that it is wrong to do so, but why is it that they are stronger than others?
After a long time, Zhiyao said: "You can come and go, I will not hinder."

In other words, there are Qi nobles who want to stay in the Zhi family and groups who have become soldiers, and Qi monarchs and ministers cannot attack on a moral level.

Qi Jun was overjoyed, but it was impossible to thank him.

Even if Qi Jun insisted on thanking him, Zhiyao would not accept it anyway.

The difference between the monarch and his ministers is the gap. One day Zhiyao is not a monarch, so don’t accept the gratitude of the monarch of a country with peace of mind. Not only will there be disasters immediately, but also the seeds of bitter fruits will be planted for the future.

To put it simply, Zhiyao is a rule breaker, and he also needs to maintain some existing rules.

First thing done?The monarch and ministers of Qi State began to mention the purchase of weapons and equipment from Zhishi.

"Yes." Zhiyao still agreed.

The Zhi family has a huge number of bronze weapons that need to be eliminated. It is an option to make other objects, and it is also okay to sell them in exchange for other raw materials or supplies.

As for Qi Guo's credit?This is simply wonderful!
The debt owed by countries is really not a simple matter. It represents the penetration of power between creditor countries, which is tantamount to making other countries interfere in their internal affairs justifiably.

Qi Guo was the first to understand the relevant truth, and it was only then that Guan Yiwu's suggestion that Xiaobai fight an economic war was approved.

Of course, the economic warfare conducted by Guan Yiwu is not the same as that of Zhiyao. There is no comparison between the effects of the two. It depends on what effect you want to get.

Zhiyao asked: "I don't know how to recruit a few people at the beginning?"

Qi Jun, who had a plan long ago, said: "The people who get Jishui, I can recruit an 'army' at the beginning, and then go to conquer the rebellion; when the people settle down, I may have two 'armies' to recruit soldiers?"

The upper reaches of Jishui is one of the most populated places in Qi State, and because of the overdeveloped economy there, there are not too many nobles coming forward and back. A noble must bring at least dozens of people to protect himself The quasi-nobles, some nobles have not bad military power, and if you gather less to make more, Qi Jun will really not be short of soldiers in the early stage.

Zhiyao is willing to let the Qi people who want to go in the upper reaches of Jishui leave. The main reason is that Zhishi’s handicap has been too large recently, and the Jin country is facing changes at any time. If the troubles on Qi’s side can be reduced, it will not increase the difficulty .

What's more, if you don't beat Qi to death all at once, you have to keep enough force no matter what. Whether they have the ability to support those forces, or they will lose them repeatedly in future battles. As a chess player, Zhiyao must Do it when you do it.

Unexpectedly, Zhiyao was such a negotiable monarch and minister of Qi, they were surprised after being surprised.

Qi Jun said stubbornly: "Chu State will never allow Tian's plan to restore the country."

Starting to push your feet?

Zhiyao responded with an inexplicable smile.

Chu State is far away from Qi State, not to mention the predicament that Chu State is facing now, even at the most powerful stage of Chu State, when did Chu State really help Qi State?
The state of Jin is very close to the state of Qi, especially the Zhi family and the state of Qi are neighbors, why don't the monarchs and ministers of the state of Qi know how to maintain a restrained and flattering attitude?

There are some things that Zhiyao can't say clearly, what needs to be done is for the monarch and ministers of Qi to recognize the facts.

The monarch and ministers of Qi State left, leaving with a lot of harvest.

Next, Zhishi's move to take over the upper reaches of Jishui went more smoothly, and the great migration to the upper reaches of Jishui also began.

Zhi Shi was not only willing to let people go, but also did not stop them from carrying much supplies, only gave a warning on taking Li Shu away.

The monarchs and ministers of Qi State are very busy. They need to appease the group of "citizens" who are willing to migrate away, divide up new fiefs for them, and detain enough soldiers to form an army, and then wait to receive a batch of supplies from Zhishi up.

"Qi is dead." Sima Rangju once again made a prophecy.

Zhiyao just smiled at this.

The prophecy must have its basis. As the Qi State that once dominated, their high-level leaders have lost their belief in self-improvement, which is actually tantamount to abolition.

Many small countries can develop into big countries, relying on the support of that breath. Once the breath is exhausted, there is basically no possibility of returning to the peak.

The group of Qi monarchs and ministers headed by Qi Junwan may feel that they are taking advantage of the Zhi family. In fact, it is a process of being fed. During this process, they will lose their own military production capacity. Being influenced too much, and no longer having an absolute self, is actually becoming a puppet.

Similar things happened to those countries that were annexed by Chu State, and Qi State itself played a game with Donglai.

Knowing that Sima Rangju still had feelings for Qi State, Zhiyao said, "I entrust the doctor with the matter of Qi State."

In fact, there is not much to do next here. It is nothing more than implementing the previous integration plan, playing well with the Qi army, the Tian family, and how to deal with the Wu army. With Sima Rangju's ability, he can handle it well. An accident will only depend on whether Sima Rangju will be shaken.

For example, the Tian family began to recognize relatives with Sima Rangju, including Sun Wu, who was also recognized by the Tian family.

They do have a common ancestor, but the blood relationship is a little farther away.

Whether Sima Rangju will pour out to the Tian family in a certain direction, in fact, it does not make much difference to the Zhi family, it can only let Zhiyao see clearly what Sima Rangju is like.

Qi Di's confrontation with Zhiyao is only part of the career, not the whole.

Zhiyao has other things to get busy.
