After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 366
After hearing this, Ziyao also showed a thoughtful look on his face, but he shook his head slowly after a long time.

"The matter you mentioned is too risky. How can you say that the state of Jin is much stronger than the state of Han in all aspects, and Zhao Jianzi's administrative style is also very stable and sophisticated."

"And now we are imitating Zheng Guo to carry out reforms. You must know that after our Zheng Guo reformed in the past, the national strength quickly became stronger in a short period of time. This is a lesson from the past."

"But now after the civil strife in the Jin State, Zhao Jianzi's prestige in the Jin State is unparalleled for a while, so the resistance to reform is the least at this time. Both the Han family and the Wei family fully support his policy, but there is only one Zhi family left. I have to follow."

"In this way, the prosperity of the Jin Kingdom is just around the corner. On the other hand, although the national strength of the Han Dynasty has been rapidly strengthened after the reform, they have moved the interests of the nobles. If this is the case, most of the princes will not agree."

"Just like the State of Lu, although it is said that the State of Lu is attached to the State of Han on the surface, in fact, the State of Lu has not sent anyone to Huai City to meet the Emperor Zhou, which means that they do not recognize the Emperor Zhou. identity of."

"So if we take the initiative to attach ourselves to the Han State at this time, once the Jin State retaliates against us in the future, even if the Han State sends troops to rescue, for us Zheng State, we will suffer considerable losses."

"Besides, if the Wei State also falls to the Jin State, then they will probably take this opportunity to erode the territory of our Zheng State, so we can't do this right now."

This is also true. After all, Zheng State and Jin State are bordering each other. Even if Jin State sends some troops to harass Zheng State continuously. Given the huge difference in national power between the two sides, Zheng State will not be able to resist for long.

After discussing for a long time, they finally decided to agree to Mengdi's conditions, but they did ask for a truce between Han and Zheng.

Xintian of Jin State.

After Zhao Jianzi met Xu Xia, he read the letter sent by Ziyao, then pondered for a while, and said.

"Since the state of Zheng is in danger, Jianguo, as the overlord, should naturally send troops to help the state of Zheng and expel the South Korean army. I just want to know how many troops Han has dispatched this time, and what is the specific deployment of troops?"

Now Zhao Yang has more than [-] cavalry in his hands, and he also wants to pass this battle to see if there is any big gap between the cavalry he trained and the cavalry of Han.

If it is feasible, Zhao Yang is ready to decide to train a large number of cavalry. After all, the population of Jin State is here. For many years, Jin State has sent troops to attack other countries, except for the latest attack on Jin State itself.

Therefore, the population of the Jin State can be said to be the largest among the current vassal states, which is equivalent to having a sufficient source of soldiers. Coupled with the self-confidence brought to the people of the Jin State by a century of hegemony, it also makes them eager to maintain this glory.

This is where Zhao Yang's confidence lies. To put it bluntly, the Jin State can afford to lose now, but the Han State may not. Although the Han State has gained a large population recently, their army is relatively small.

Moreover, with such a large population, it will take a period of time to settle down before they can be completely loyal to Han. If a large number of troops are lost at this time, it will also make the common people of Han feel fear.

Under the ebb and flow, as long as they can continue to suppress the Han State and Mengdi changes his policy under pressure, then the foundation of the Han State will be shaken. After that, other vassal states seem to have seen their prey Like the evil wolves, they attack in packs.

Then the Han Kingdom that has just risen will also suffer from catastrophe. As a qualified ruler, Zhao Yang has a very vicious vision. After all, the long-standing rules have been doomed, and the nobles are the most important class to rule an empire. .

The reason is very simple, only these nobles have mastered knowledge, culture and ruling skills through long-term precipitation, so they have corresponding means when governing the place, and the common people have adapted to it.

Although the current policy implemented by the Han State is very beneficial to the common people, these people are used to being enslaved, and this idea will not change much in a short period of time. agree.

But at the same time, it also weakened the power of the nobles of the Han Dynasty. In times of prosperity, these people can still maintain considerable restraint. Once the situation in the Han Kingdom changes, then this will become a reminder for the Han Kingdom.

At that time, the first people who oppose the Han Kingdom are probably these nobles who have lost power. This is caused by the greedy nature of people. Otherwise, Zhao Yang would not have reformed in the Jin Kingdom, but it would have stopped after reaching a certain level. down.

Because he thinks that it is not yet time, at least he needs to wait until the state of Jin becomes stronger and his personal prestige reaches a higher level before proceeding with the next step of reform.

Xu Xia had already heard from Zhao Yang's questioning that he intended to send troops, so he said it immediately.

"This time the Han Kingdom dispatched a total of 8 cavalry and [-] infantry, a total of [-], but the equipment is quite well equipped, and the military discipline is strict, and the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. If Jianzi wants to send troops, he should It's better to be cautious."

The reason why he said this is because Xu Xia is a person who is good at observing words and expressions. He saw that Zhao Yang is not the kind of person who likes to listen to empty words, so he simply explained what he said, so as not to prevent the Jin State from fighting in the Zheng State in the future. Time, vent your anger on him.

Zhao Yang frowned when he heard this, turned his head to look at You Liang, and asked.

"How is the combat effectiveness of the Han infantry? Do you know anything about it?"

Youliang thought about it for a while, then said with a very cautious expression on his face.

"The Han Kingdom has a long history of training infantry. Ever since Mengdi established Huaicheng, he has started training infantry, and the selection is very strict. I heard that the first selection is the strong and strong ones, who can carry a hundred catties."

"At the same time, you have to carry bows and weapons. You have to march forty miles in one day, and only those who can hit the target can be selected. Because of this, the infantry has only 4 to [-] people so far."

"And their training is relatively hidden. So far, we have only heard about their method of selecting soldiers. As for how to train, we still don't know. It's just that in the Han Kingdom, there is one person who is quite good at training soldiers, and that is Sun Wuzi. "
