In Zhao Dan's memory, the workers of later generations were squeezed for hundreds of years before they had some power.
Since it is such a difficult and oppressive thing, it is obviously inappropriate for the people of Zhao to do it.
So this is the time for these people from Hedong County of Qin State to come in handy.
Chapter 291 It's time to prepare to send troops to Yan Kingdom (first update)
Zhao Dan didn't intend to tell the ministers of Zhao Guo who were in front of him immediately what he was thinking.
Although each of these ministers of the State of Zhao can be regarded as the top talents in the world today, after all, the limitations of the times are here, and it is no doubt that they want to make these ministers of the State of Zhao believe in Zhao Dan's words. Too naive.
Even Zhao Dan wondered in his heart that if he really told the scene of industrialization and modernization in the future generations in his mind, would the ministers of Zhao State think that he was out of his mind and crazy.
Sometimes things that are too advanced should not be depicted in advance, but should be waited until the ministers of the Zhao State witness it with their own eyes, so that they will be more acceptable to them.
It is as if in 1900, if someone told a person on earth that one day in the future, people living on the earth would be able to communicate with tens of thousands of miles by pressing a few numbers with a weird rectangular glass-shaped thing. If someone outside of the phone calls, then the earthlings from 1900 will definitely feel that this person is out of his mind.
In addition, new things will always pose challenges to the old forces, which will lead to the counterattack of the old forces.
Copernicus was burned to death when he proposed the heliocentric theory, Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Roman Inquisition, and Bruno was burned at the stake for opposing religious theology.
When the feudal landlord class appeared, it was strongly opposed by the slave-owner nobles.
When the bourgeoisie first appeared, it was also brutally suppressed by the feudal landlords.
And more than 20 years before Zhao Dan crossed, the more advanced red camp had just suffered the biggest setback on earth. The leader of the red camp, the Soviet Union, fell apart under the siege of the bourgeois countries headed by the US imperialists, and the whole of Europe was completely destroyed. Occupied by the counterattack of the bourgeoisie, only Zhao Dan's home country was left behind. That big eastern country struggled to support it and suffered countless unfair treatments.
With the continuous development of productive forces, new production relations will inevitably replace the old production relations, but during the replacement period of the new and old production relations, it is not a beautiful and harmonious one, but full of blood and cruelty. A life-and-death struggle in which neither party can compromise.
In today's Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the land of China is actually still in the last period of slave-owner aristocrats. The six kingdoms of Shandong have more or less the influence of slave-owner aristocrats. Only Qin, which emerged after Shang Yang's reform, is the representative of the feudal military landlord class. .
It is precisely because the new production relations of the feudal military landlord class represented by the Qin State adapted to the development of productive forces that the Qin State was able to rise from a country located in the remote western border and was considered a barbarian by the Central Plains countries, and finally unified world.
From this point of view, whether it is Qin's victory or the failure of the six eastern countries, in the final analysis it is a system issue.
An excellent system may encounter short-term failure, but it will definitely defeat a backward and decadent system. This is a historical inevitability, and it has always been like this throughout the ages.
This is the greatness of Shang Yang's reform. It is precisely because this Shang Jun completely changed the system of Qin State that Qin State truly surpassed the era of the six eastern countries at that time. Base.
Although Shang Yang is controversial, but from this point of view, his contribution is absolutely unprecedented in Legalism and even in the history of China.
It is really because of this that Zhao Dan has made up his mind at the beginning of the journey, not only to compete with Qin State in the national strategy and diplomatic positions, but also to catch up with or even overtake Qin State in terms of internal strength, that is, the national system country.
Only by cultivating internally and externally can Zhao Guo hope to completely change history and become the country that can truly unify the land of China.
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhao Dan's mind, but these were actually only within a few seconds.
Therefore, in the eyes of several ministers of Zhao State, Zhao Dan just lowered his head and meditated for a few seconds, then raised his head brightly in the sun, smiled and said to the ministers in front of him: "Very good, since Qin State The discussion on the war in Hedong County is over, so let's ask you to discuss the issue of Yan State with the widow."
After Zhao Dan finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Miao Xian beside him.
Miao Xian immediately took a step forward, and said to the ministers of Zhao State in front of him: "According to the news quietly sent back by the people ordered by Lord Le Jian of Chang State of Yan State, King Yan's condition is incurable now, and I am afraid that he will die soon after he dies." recently."
When Zhao Guo and several ministers heard Miao Xian's words, they immediately regained their spirits.
As the saying goes, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries. Yan Guo is one of Zhao's near-term worries, and it is a more troublesome kind.
For a long time, Zhao Guojun and his ministers have been worried to some extent, that is, they are worried that King Yan's illness will suddenly recover.
If King Yan's illness really recovered, then the State of Yan might quietly stab the State of Zhao from behind like it did during the Battle of Changping.
Although Zhao Guo is actually not afraid of Yan Guo at all, the problem is that if Zhao Guo has to be backstabbed by Yan Guo from behind every time Zhao Guo sends troops, then Zhao Guo will not be able to go all out The westward or southward to deal with other powerful enemies.
Therefore, after hearing the news that King Yan was about to die, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little cheerful.
Zhao Dan also showed a smile on his face, and said to the ministers present: "According to the current situation, once the King of Yan dies, then Gongzi An will undoubtedly become the candidate for the next King of Yan. But The widow has already decided to support Ke, the son of Queen Yan, to be the next King of Yan, what do you think?"
In fact, these thoughts of Zhao Dan have already been passed by the ministers of Yan State present, and the reason for asking again this time is just to unify their thoughts for the last time before attacking Yan State.
Sure enough, all the ministers present had no opinion on Zhao Dan's question, and they all agreed.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Sheng said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, the main force of the Southern Army is currently fighting against the Qin people in the Hedong Army. If you follow Your Majesty's plan, then the attack on Yan State is obviously imperative. .So Your Majesty is planning to use the main force of the Northern Army to go north?"
This time, in the battle of the Three-Jin Allied Forces against Qin, the [-] troops dispatched by the Zhao State were mainly built with the Southern Army that was stationed on the South Great Wall as the core team, so now there is only the Northern Army in Zhao State. An elite central army.
In the eyes of Zhao Sheng, Zhao Guo Xiangbang, Yan Guo is one of the seven heroes of the Warring States no matter what, and if he wants to defeat Yan Guo, he must send out elite troops.
But Zhao Dan shook his head resolutely, and said to Zhao Sheng: "This time, I don't plan to use every soldier of the Central Army."
Chapter 292 Wei Wuji's Threat (Second Change)
As soon as Zhao Dan said these words, the faces of the ministers of Zhao State in the Longtai Hall immediately showed surprised expressions.
Don't use the Central Army to fight?
But the problem is that now everyone knows that Zhao Guo is best able to fight against the Central Army!
Can the State of Yan really be defeated without using the Central Army?
Even Yu Xin, Zhao Dan's most loyal confidant, couldn't help but said: "My lord, although the country of Yan has been declining this year, and was defeated by the country of Zhao last year, the country of Yan is one of the Seven Heroes after all. , the strength should not be underestimated."
Zhao Dan smiled slightly, stopped Yu Xin's words very confidently, and said: "The widow has decided that Pang Nuan, the Zhonglang of the Northern Army, will be the general of the army to send troops to the country of Yan, and lead the soldiers from the five northern counties to send troops to the country of Yan." Don't worry, gentlemen, although the Yan State is strong, the northern son of the widow Zhao State is not weak at all, and with a famous general like Pang Nuan leading the army, this battle will undoubtedly be won!"
When Zhao Dan spoke, the expression on his face was very firm, and he looked confident.
As the saying goes, a lion fights a rabbit with all its strength. Of course, Zhao Dan will not underestimate any enemy, but as a traveler who is quite familiar with history, Zhao Dan feels that there is no need to overestimate the strength of Yan Kingdom.
It is true that if Zhao Guo uses the troops of the five northern counties to go out, it is naturally impossible to compare the strength of Zhao Guo's central army, but don't forget that when Zhao Guo sends troops, Yan Guo will definitely cause some confusion due to the battle for power. Nor is it able to deal with Zhao Guo with all its strength.
Moreover, Zhao State's attack on Yan State this time was not to siege the city and seize land, but to support the son Ke. From a legal point of view, it can actually be regarded as aboveboard.
Throughout the hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is not uncommon for such a prince to be enthroned by other countries. Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Jin and even King Ji of Qin were all beneficiaries.
In fact, everyone has already formed a tacit understanding. In such a battle for the throne, most of the local forces should remain neutral, waiting for the heirs fighting for the throne to fight to the death, and finally admit the winner to become the new monarch.
Therefore, this time Zhao Guo sent troops should not face Yan Guo's all-powerful soldiers, but would only face the loyal troops of Gong Zi'an and Rong Yan. This pressure is not great.
Besides, Zhao Guo still has an important minister of Yan Guo like Le Jian as an internal response.
After explaining Zhao Dan's words, Zhao Sheng was finally convinced, and couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty is so thoughtful, and my ministers are not as good as Your Majesty."
Zhao Dan laughed, and almost blurted out the phrase "that's natural".
Fortunately, Zhao Dan woke up in time, suppressed this expansive way of speaking, coughed heavily, and then continued to speak: "If Zhu Qing has no intention to object, then the way of dealing with Yan Guo will be the same. Let's go with that."
No objection was raised.
In fact, with Zhao Dan's decisions one by one, Zhao Guosuo won one victory after another, and now Zhao Dan encounters less and less opposition when discussing national affairs.
