I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 388 I Really Didn't Want to Completely Exterminate the Guards (6K, Two in One)

After the Zhou royal family moved eastward, all successive Zhou emperors had one thing in common, that is, they were short of money!
This has created a phenomenon that there is no emperor of Zhou who is not greedy, almost accepting money if he has money, and seeing what price he wants to get for any honor.

In the past, no one had too much heart. At most, they just paid the Emperor Zhou to brush up his reputation and spend money to buy titles. Not everyone has that kind of imagination, and their strength simply doesn’t allow it. .

The new Emperor Zhou is named Ren, and it is almost known to everyone that his physical condition has been poor.

Because of his poor health, no one thought that Ji Ren would live a long life, and even fewer people were willing to donate money.

"I went to 'Luoyi' and congratulated one person on his ascension to the throne, and we will do other things."

Zhiyao knows the importance of maintaining friendship at ordinary times, especially when the matter is of great importance. When showing sudden enthusiasm temporarily, the other party finds it abrupt, and at the same time, there must be a link of "additional money".

The founding of the country has been put on the agenda, and Lao Zhi's family should really be ready at all times, including obtaining the title from Zhou Tianzi.

If Lao Zhi's family has a title of marquis, whether it is usurping the country or establishing the country on its own, it really has something to say.

One day, Zhiyao won the title of marquis. In fact, he was on the same level as Lord Jin, and he was allowed by Emperor Zhou to get rid of Jin. The emperor Zhou who scolded and scolded him indiscriminately. The argument against Zhiyao should be The wrist is superb.

Zhiyao and Jinjun are on the same level, and the two sides have their own kingdoms. In fact, they can't be regarded as usurping the country, but it will become a kind of competition between countries.

When Zhiyao destroys the state of Jin, or snatches a large amount of territory from the state of Jin, it will not be considered that Zhiyao has become a traitor.

This routine is not fabricated out of thin air. In history, the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty was such a practice. It is one thing to criticize later generations. The people of the world at that time did not have such bad feelings towards Zhao, Wei, and Han.

Regarding the establishment of the country, only the core members of the family knew the news, and even the important retainers did not inform them.

It's still the same point of view, some things can only be done but not said, and others learn the news on their own, which is really different in nature from hearing it directly from the mouth of the person concerned.

Simply put, you can deny it without directly admitting it.After directly admitting, denying it is a fart!

After Zhiyao revealed the big goal, the core members of Laozhi's family were all excited.

They were told that they should be low-key and low-key at ordinary times, and don't bully anyone if they don't want to form a good relationship with others. It's best to be kind to others and maintain the reputation of Lao Zhi's family.

In fact, even if the most greedy Zhifu was the head of the family, and Zhiying, who was most likely to let the old Zhi family fall into the pit, died young, the reputation of the old Zhi family was not bad. There is no big black spot, and at the same time, there is not much good reputation.

Originally, under the premise that Zhishen used to cultivate in "Puyang", Zhiyao should not leave "Xintian" to go out again. The problem is that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

Zhishen's plan to go to "Puyang" remains unchanged.

But Zhiyao couldn't stay in "Xintian" without moving.

When the spring season came, Zhiyao participated in the swearing-in meeting outside the city.

The main general of the Western Expedition is Hu Jie, Han Geng is the deputy, and Sun Wu is the staff.

This time, the Han family will dispatch three "divisions" of troops, and the Zhi family, Wei family, Zhong family, and Hu family will each send out one "division" to participate. troops.

Because of the national war model, the main general of the Western Expedition will naturally be Zuohu Jie of the Chinese Army, but depending on the scale of troops sent by each family, it is obvious that the right to speak will be in the hands of Han Geng.

This kind of routine only appeared after Zhibi served as "Yuanrong".

At that time, the old Zhi family kept a low profile if they could, and the limelight was completely robbed by the old Zhao family, creating a political structure of Jin in which Zhi Zhi ruled inside and Zhao Yang ruled outside.

Zhuxia is like this. Once something happens, it is easy to be treated as "ancestral law", and it gradually becomes a rule that needs to be followed.

With the examples of Zhibi and Zhao Yang, it is too natural and reasonable for the family to decide which family sends the most troops in the future.

In fact, it is reasonable and reasonable asshole!

The countries took the repeated power inversions in Jin as a joke, and they often criticized the collapse of etiquette and music.

Then again, Nanzi's private life is not mentioned, she is indeed trying to maintain the stability of the court of Wei, and she is also scolded terribly.

Now that the state of Wei has become like that, it seems that what he said about Nanzi has been taken for granted. Everything that became the state of Wei was caused by Nanzi.If you look at it this way, Nanzi is really powerful. He brought down Weiguo by himself?
Why mention Nanzi?Isn't it because Zhiyao passed through "Mo" on the way to "Handan", and Nanzi went out of the city ten miles to meet her in person.

This incident made Zhiyao embarrassed and speechless.

No matter how bad Weiguo's situation is, Nanzi is Wei Junqi's grandmother. If someone plays the rhythm, Zhiyao deceives others too much, and even with the rhythm, it can become Zhiyao spying on Nanzi or something.

After all, Nanzi is famous outside!

Wei Junqi was young and unable to make decisions, so Nanzi needed to appear on this occasion.

Don't look at the state of Wei has become like this, their internal strife is still very serious. In less than four years, three monarchs have been changed, and two of them are the grandchildren of Nanzi. , Chi Qian Wang Ba Duo".

Nanzi is very old, and people who say that Zhiyao will spy on Nanzi will only slander and slander.

One thing, in fact, Nanzi should have died of illness a few years ago.She still tried her best to hold on to this altered version of history.

Zhiyao didn't even know how to address Nanzi, and after calling out "madam" vaguely, she turned to Wei Junqi to salute.

Wei Junqi didn't know whether he was instructed by someone or his own intention, and asked, "Does Jin Qing know the current situation of the late king?"

Which ancestor?
Zhiyao thought about it for a while, and figured out that she was asking Wei Zhe, and shook her head as an answer.

This Wei Zhe was forced to flee in the 40th year of King Jing of Zhou (480 BC). Of course, it can also be regarded as being exiled by Nanzi, and has been living in Qi State since then.

Now, isn't Lao Zhi's family tormenting Qi State enough?And "Linzi" is still under the control of Laozhi's family.

Under the frequent occurrence of chaos, Wei Zhe didn't think it was his business. He ate what he wanted, drank what he wanted, and even asked the governor of "Linzi" appointed by Lao Zhi's family to ask for beautiful women and money. Lost, the posture of having fun can't stop.

Lao Zhi's family has no place to use Wei Zhe, and it's nothing to pay for it.

In the original version of history, the State of Qi staged a drama to help Wei Zhe return to the country and restore it, in order to control the State of Wei.Later, Weiguo did help Qiguo to prevent disasters again and again, and was directly brought to the brink of death by Zhiyao, who continued Zhao Yang's national policy.

However, the Kingdom of Wei became the vassal state that lingered on until the end of the Qin Empire, and it was indeed longer than other vassal states.

Naturally, such a lingering life like that of Weiguo must not be what most monarchs want?And most monarchs can't do it either.

Zhiyao entered "Mo" to be received by the monarch and ministers of the state of Wei, but Wei Junqi and Nanzi did not continue to entertain them personally.

The person who presided over the reception of Zhiyao was Zeng Shen, Minister of the State of Wei. I heard that he was one of Confucius' disciples?

Zhiyao had never met Zeng Shen, and she had no interest in understanding how Zeng Shen changed from a Lu person to a minister of the Wei State.

just what?In fact, Zeng Shen was not simple at all. Before his death, Confucius asked Zeng Shen to be lonely. Now Kong Li is taken care of by Zeng Shen.

As for why Zeng Shen served as a minister in the state of Wei, the main reason is that the state of Lu is more chaotic than the original history, so chaotic that it is almost impossible to live in peace.

That is because Robber Zhi was blocked in the territory of Lu State, which caused more damage and influence to Lu State than the original history, not to mention that Zhishi also played some disgraceful roles during this period.

Nanzi learned that many disciples of Confucius were working in the Zhi family of the state of Jin. Considering the unbearable status quo of the state of Wei, he tried his best to invite Zeng Shen to the state of Wei. Unity, at least someone can inform Zeng Shen.

In fact, it was a matter of time before the Si surnamed Zeng came to Weiguo. Zeng Shen just came early, and because of various reasons, the starting point of development in Weiguo was quite high.

"Li?" Zhiyao later learned that Kong Li was being taken care of by Zeng Shen, and fully understood what Weiguo was doing.

It was simply that the accompanying disciples swarmed to Zeng Shen's side. It was hard not to surprise the rest of the Zhi family, and it was easy to find the answer after asking.

Fu Guo asked worriedly: "These people are too personal, will they hinder my family's plan?"

Ever since she knew that Zhiyao was going to turn her family into a country, Fuguo was really enthusiastic. From a simple fear of Zhiyao, it evolved into absolute respect in fear, and she worked hard beyond imagination.

Zhiyao felt that there must be obstacles, but... Weiguo is like that, and there is no wave of waves.

In fact, Zhiyao really wouldn't do anything to Weiguo unless he had the strength and opportunity to sweep the world.

It is good to keep the Wei country, which can reflect the respect of tradition by the old Zhi family. When annexing other countries in the future, the princes think that they can still have a life of eating and dying, and the will to resist will be reduced anyway.

Zhiyao skipped Fuguo's question and didn't answer, looked at Zhong Xingyin who was sitting opposite, and said, "If Qi is annexed, might the people of Qi love me?"

Fuguo, who is full of enthusiasm for doing things, doesn't know what he is thinking.

A lot of the time, the ones at the top give the orders if they don't give the orders, right?

Fuguo thought to himself: "No, I must keep an eye on those disciples, so as not to really ruin my family's affairs!"

After a lapse of more than ten years, Zhong Xingyin looked too old, and had long since lost the vigor and vigor of being a high official in the Jin Kingdom. Not only did he look old, but he could also see the vicissitudes of life.

"Why don't Qi people love? How dare you not love?" Zhong Xingyin secretly arrived at Mo's side half a month ago, and has been waiting for Zhiyao's appearance.

The reason for their meeting here is too simple, even if Lao Zhi's family wants to annex Qi, some pretentiousness should continue.

Before, Yindu of Bank of China had discussed with Zhiyao to complete the annexation of Qidi outside Donglai, and to resign from all positions to take care of the elderly.

As for the matter that Zhibi's generation promised to return the Zhongxing clan's fiefdom?Bank of China Yinna didn't mention a word again. On the contrary, after learning that Zhiyao wanted to turn his family into a country, he didn't plan to provide for the elderly, but wanted to continue to shine.

Turning a family into a country is not only a big deal for Zhu Xia, but it is undoubtedly a big deal for Lao Zhi's family, but whoever is a member of the family will not be excited to learn that such a serious matter is happening?

If there is no help?They were reminded that they would behave in an honest and low-key manner, so as not to be able to help, they restrained themselves so as not to cause any trouble to the family.

If you have the ability to do things, who would not want to help out if you can breathe?
The rest of the tribe who didn't know the news didn't mention it. The core stratum of Lao Zhi's family quickly entered the state, so that some people noticed something was wrong.

So, Zhiyao simply didn't hide that her intention to go east this time was to annex Qi, and used a real action to cover up some abnormalities in Lao Zhi's family.

After the short greetings, Zhong Xingyin introduced the various chaos of the Duke of Qi, and it was inevitable that he would mention the situation in Donglai.

The restoration of the country with the surname Chen of Gui caused a great sensation. At the beginning, everyone was concerned about the reaction of the Chu State.

As a result, the state of Chu simply turned a blind eye to Chen's restoration of the country with the surname Chen, and launched an internal purge, killing that man called a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Since there is no movement in Chu State, it doesn't matter what the rest of the princes are thinking. They are overwhelmed by the riots of the Chinese people, slave uprisings and frequent assassinations. They just hope that no one will mess with them.

"Many of the Chen family emigrated to the sea, but I heard that they fought bloody battles with Wu in the East China Sea (Bohai Sea)." Zhong Xingyin told a breaking news.

what?

naval battle? ? ?

What a strange thing. A few years ago, Qi State and Wu State broke out in a naval battle in the Bohai Sea. At that time, Qi State won the victory and ended the curtain.

It was also the first naval battle in the history of Zhuxia.

Therefore, even if a naval battle broke out between Wu State and Si surnamed Chen State this time, it was actually only the second time.

What's interesting is that the two naval battles were contests between Wu State and the Chen family surnamed Gui, and Wu State lost both times.

The main force of their naval battles is the "boat" style ship.

Qi’s ship is the largest, with a main force of about 23 meters in length and a width of about [-] meters. It can carry nearly a hundred soldiers and boatmen. Its hull is long and narrow and divided into two floors. The soldier's large boat is officially called a large wing boat.Because the shape is too long and narrow, it is actually a large boat.

Compared with Qi, Wu's ships are relatively small, so there is a saying that the naval battle between Wu and Qi is a "battle between the navy and the navy".

In fact, Wu's flagship "Yuhuang" is slightly larger than Qi's large-winged ship, with a two-story structure on the water surface, which is the prototype of the building ship behind.

So the "Water Army" is from the Wu State, and the Qi Army is from the "Navy".

What are the ships called now?The names of the Wu Kingdom: Big Wing, Middle Wing, Little Wing, Tumao, Lou Chuan, Bridge Chuan, Ge Chuan and other different types.Among them, the large, medium and small three wings are the main warships in the Wu Guoshui Army.

The rest of the countries will have their own names.

It is more terrible for the state of Wu..., or there is another point of embarrassment. They were deceived by the surname Chen of many boats and sailors. During the naval battle between the two sides, the sailors who belonged to the state of Wu controlled Zhou Chuan fought fiercely with Wu Shuijun.

"The vassals in Wu Yunhe rioted, and they lost the battle with Chen Hai, so they can't go north for a short time." It is because of this that Zhong Xingyin suggested to annex Qi as soon as possible.

The last strength of Qi State completely crippled herself, and no one outside could save them. Of course Zhiyao knew that now was the best time to annex Qi State.

"Uncle can go to 'Puyang'." Zhiyao said.

Zhong Xingyin's mission in Qi has come to an end, even if it is just to hide his ears and steal the bell, his absence in the final stage can eliminate some people's resentment and redundant speculation.

"I'm going to Qin." Zhong Xingyin had a different opinion.

Zhiyao said: "Go to 'Puyang' first, and then go to Qin."

Speaking of which, Bank of China Yin and Bank of China Kai have not seen each other for more than ten years, and it is quite normal to miss each other.

If it wasn't out of need, or because he didn't want to irritate the old Wei family and the old Han family, Zhong Xingyin would have been able to return to the state of Jin long ago.

This time, Lao Zhi's family annexed the Qi land except Donglai, and it was really hard to pretend that it didn't matter whether Bank of China Yin Chu appeared in Jin State or not.

The most important thing is that Zhiyao can't just look at the pros and cons in everything, and don't care about other people's emotions!
Zhong Xingyin tested Zhiyao, and found that what Zhiyao believed could not be reversed, so he had to go to "Puyang" to see Zhishen first as ordered.

The uncle and nephew had a handover in "Mo", and then parted ways.

Later, something happened that made Zhiyao dumbfounded. He was suddenly asked to see him one night, and someone came to tell him that Nanzi had died in his sleep.

"This... I brought two 'divisions' troops to station outside the city of 'Mo'. People in the world won't think that I scared Nanzi to death, right?" Of course Zhiyao respected the deceased, as it should be There will be depression.

What a coincidence!
And Nanzi was fine before Zhiyao came, and within three days after they came to "Mo", Nanzi died suddenly, and it's strange that outsiders don't force them to talk about their tongues.

"..." Zhiyao looked speechlessly at Zeng Shen who came over overnight, and then at the clansmen and retainers who came to hear the news.

There is no one left in Weiguo, right?Everything has to be dispatched Zeng Shen.

However, the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State are almost scared to pee now, they are afraid that Zhiyao will take the opportunity to destroy the Wei State, and begging Zeng Shen from the Zhi Clan to tell the news to Zeng Shen, so that Zeng Shen can spy on Zhiyao's next move .

Whenever Zhiyao showed a tendency to solve Weiguo in one fell swoop, many Weiguo nobles would immediately take sides and become "one of their own" in place!

Zhiyao's choice was to send Zigong to Miyagi to express his condolences on behalf of Lao Zhi's family, and clearly told Zeng Shen that he would leave tomorrow.

If the king of a country passed away, since Zhiyao happened to be there, she definitely couldn't leave immediately.

No matter how powerful Nanzi is, she is still a woman. It is not that she discriminates against women. The main reason is that the "Qing" of Jin State is very unsuitable to participate in this kind of funeral. It is an insult to Wei State to really participate.

Given the current situation of Wei State, to be honest, even if Lord Wei dies at the same place, it is not suitable for Jin State's "Qing" to attend the funeral. If Jin State's "Qing" is really present, the Wei people will definitely be trembling.

Zhiyao, who didn't have time to enjoy the superior treatment of the dignitaries of Shangguo, took the army away the next day.

Did any Wei people suspect that Nanzi's sudden death had anything to do with Lao Zhi's family?Certainly someone would think that way, and there is no limit to the guards.

There is a reason why Zhiyao will pass by "Mo". Lao Zhi's family built the first bridge across the river in the nearby Dahe.

It took them a day to go from "Mo" to the place named "Bai Ma Jin", and they could see the bridge across the two banks of the river from a distance.

This bridge has a design of piers every six meters, and iron cables are fixed on the specially transported boulders.

Zhiyao heard that the ability to hoist the boulders onto the bridge piers was due to the improved equipment of Gongshuban, which used many boats as supports to float on the river to hoist the boulders.

"Longmen crane???" Zhiyao knew what was going on only after seeing it with her own eyes.

It is simply an invention across the century!
It is because of the gantry crane that the construction period has been greatly shortened.

The four large ships are used as fulcrums to support the gantry crane with a mixed structure of wood and metal. Why do you need to get close to the pulley to observe it, but you can see the design of the winch, and the suspension rope seems to be made of metal?
Zhiyao doesn't think about how to maintain the iron cables. They are really not as fragile as imagined. Even if they are not diligently maintained, they will not rust to the point of being unusable in a few years.

The real situation is like that. In the future, there will not be too many chain bridges in Zhuxia Land, and there will be no frequent accidents.

"Is there a repeated inspection?" Zhiyao was asking nonsense.

After it is completed, it must be inspected, such as letting the heavy-duty animal-drawn goods pass through repeatedly, and checking the iron cables and the bridge deck in detail again and again, including the shaking feeling when passing.

"A distance of six meters is the best. If it is too short, it will take a lot of work, time, and energy. If it is too long, it will cause heavy objects to shake..." Gongshuban began to use various terms, and even Zhiyao couldn't understand many of them.

Later, Gongshu Pan said: "With this hanging, I think the rest of the bridges can be made of stone. If the cable bridge is unusable, it can be demolished and rebuilt."

In fact, Zhiyao thinks the wooden bridge is good, even if it is more difficult to maintain than the chain bridge, at least you don't have to worry too much about it, building a stone bridge across the river... It sounds like time-consuming and laborious.

What are the facts?In fact, the load-bearing capacity of the chain bridge is higher than that of the wooden bridge!

Zhiyao's science is at the level of ordinary people, too advanced and powerless.

However, the more the Gongshu class talked, the more Zhiyao began to feel that building a stone bridge was more beneficial, but he didn't know how much it cost and time-consuming.

"Gongshuban does this? He has to spend at least ten years building bridges, will it delay his invention of various tools?" Zhiyao was thinking about this.

If the stone bridge across the river is really built, it will take ten years to tell the truth, and it will benefit future generations for at least 100 years, or even longer!
The longest stone bridge in Zhuxia has been used for 800 years, and its length is more than 2000 meters!
Zhiyao, who was more life-saving, let some of the luggage team cross the bridge first, and only passed in the middle by himself after seeing the reliability of the chain bridge.

When they came to the south bank of the great river, they would stop outside the city of "Puyang" for three days to rest.

During that period, Zhiyao would meet with the princes and nobles of the Qi State who had surrendered in advance, and select some of them to be feudal, that is, to accept them as retainers.

Then?Of course, it is time to enter the stage where Qi people from all over the world welcome Master Wang!
