Chapter 270: The Prince Ben Zheng Defeated the Soldiers (6)

I have to say that this kind of victory and defeat has a lot to do with the ruling Si Ziyang.

Zheng Guo has always been chaotic as the first country to reform, the earliest written law, the first civil law to spontaneously replace the official law, and the first country to discuss politics in rural schools.

After Zichan's death, Zheng Guo's successor reformed Zichan's policy, and Qimu competed for power and profit, and could not rest.

After years of political struggle, the Si Ziyang family gained the ruling position with nearly one-fifth of Zheng's fiefdom.

And his political enemies were concentrated in the Dazai faction led by Dazai Shin.

Zheng Jun in the cracks can only take advantage of the contradictions between the nobles, and survive with difficulty and misery, although he will not become the mascot of the nobles like the Marquis of Qi, but he still does not have much power.

Si Ziyang's power was too great, so Zheng Jun had to form a faction with Dazai Xin and others.

Si Ziyang is powerful and ambitious, and because of his proximity to Sanjin, he knows the importance of changing the law.

The family ascended the throne when Han Wuzi killed Zheng Yougong, and after coming to power, they used their fiefdom to carry out a series of changes with Zheng Guo's written law tradition.

Later generations have contained: Ziyang is resolute and easy to punish, and he is also punished, and there is no forgiveness.

He is an early Legalist figure, although when Zichan was in power, he also used the heavy method, but Zichan knew the "art of relaxation", and did not blindly use the heavy method, but the relaxation was moderate, and the people were convinced.

But Si Ziyang only learned the heavy law, but did not learn the essence of it, and it is impossible for this kind of change not to touch the interests of the aristocracy.

In the end, in the original history, Si Ziyang also died in the coup d'état that was instigated, and the people killed him in anger, and Zheng Guo was divided and finally perished.

Zheng has laws in the country, and there are written laws, and even this written law is not officially formulated.

When Zichan was in power, Deng Xi used his clever dialectics to constantly help the people in lawsuits, and wrote a book "Bamboo Punishment" in his spare time.

Although Zheng Guo has a criminal tripod, he is cumbersome after all, and few people know it.

Deng Xi's "Bamboo Punishment" was widely circulated, so that Zheng people knew that there was "Bamboo Punishment" but did not know that there was "Ding Punishment".

In the end, Deng Xi was killed, but the widely circulated "Bamboo Punishment" also became Zheng Guo's written law.

After Si Ziyang came to power, he used the widely circulated "Bamboo Punishment" to change some laws to become more stringent, so as to change the law.

It's just that Zheng is not Qin, he doesn't have such a good geographical location, and he is surrounded by big countries, just like the Song Kingdom, the more he has the heart of a big country, the more miserable his death will be.

It's just that now it seems that the change has been slightly effective, and after a strict change, Zheng Guo defeated South Korea twice, which can be regarded as a revenge for killing Yougong back then.

A few days ago, when the bird slippery visited Zheng, Si Ziyang was extremely welcome.

On the one hand, it is because the people of the Mo family have done great things in Shangqiu, the world is shaking, and the Mo family has a faint tendency to resist the monarch of a small country in the rain.

The second is that Si Ziyang has ambitions and ambitions, so he is neither pro-Jin nor pro-Chu, but has always wanted to maintain Zheng Guo's independence, hoping to make Zheng Guo strong after years of law changes.

He, the ruler, or his family, may also replace Zheng Jun's line and ascend to the throne.

Therefore, he does not want any big country to interfere in Zheng Guo's internal affairs, but he is good at taking advantage of the contradictions between major powers to strive for more interests for Zheng Guo.

The matter of the Central Plains army conveyed by Mozi on behalf of the poultry slippery Li is absolutely supported by the Si Ziyang family, and its henchmen are dense, Zheng Jun and Dazai Xin need to work together to suppress the power of Si Ziyang.

And in this matter, the Zheng people, who had been tortured by the war for a long time, abandoned their resentment against Si Ziyang because of the punishment and supported the Soldiers' Association.

Because the exchange between Yu Huali and Zheng Jun and the ruling Si Ziyang in Zheng Guo was pleasant, Si Ziyang said that as long as the Sanjin agreed to kill the soldiers, then Zheng Guo would definitely participate.

And he is willing to give up his hatred with South Korea, temporarily truce with the Koreans, and also prepare for the success of Zheng Guo's recuperation and recuperation.

The promise given by the Mo family was that if Zheng Guo was willing to participate in the army, then if it was attacked by Korea again, the Mo family would send people to help defend the city.

At the same time, it also conveyed the promise made by the King of Chu for the Soldiers: Zheng and Song, if the Three Jin Dynasty attack, the Chu people will go north to rescue, and the Emperor of Heaven will learn from the ghosts and gods!

Although in several wars, Zheng Guo won against South Korea and Huang Chi, but Zheng Guo also lost a lot, and the three Jin Dynasty have always joined forces, and it is impossible to really threaten South Korea, if there is really a threat to South Korea, Wei will inevitably send troops, and then it will not be able to block it.

It's just that it's hard to ride a tiger, and now Zheng people have a lot of revenge, how can you say that killing the king of a country is a shame.

Especially Si Ziyang relied on this reason to become the ruling party with the concept of war against South Korea, but he understood that he really couldn't fight.

In several big battles, although the Koreans suffered great losses, South Korea is vast, where can Zheng Guo compare?

As long as he fails once, Zheng Guo will be suspended, and his ruling power will inevitably be overthrown.

Even if they are not killed by the Koreans, the opposition factions in the country, Dazai Shin, Zheng Jun, etc., will find an opportunity to attack.

Hatred is just a reason to come to power.

After coming to power, hatred no longer mattered.

When Si Ziyang was worried about how to end the dispute between Han and Zheng, the news of the first battle of the Mo family Shangqiu came, which immediately made him excited.

Soldiers!

That's the best reason for that.

Mojia, this is the best publicity.

Moreover, once the army is successful, Zheng Guo's reform can also continue.

Si Ziyang has a lot of power and many fiefs, and under the advantages of one and the other, twenty years of peace means that his family will completely replace Zheng Jun and his family and become the real master of Zheng Guo.

As for now, it is still necessary to rally the support of the people with the help of hatred of Han and carry out all kinds of changes: those who oppose the change are on the side of the Koreans, and they are the sworn enemies of the Zheng people, and under such a reason, the rest of the nobles do not dare to move for the time being.

Zheng Guo couldn't fight anymore, and Si Ziyang didn't dare to fight anymore, but because he incited hatred to come to power, he couldn't directly stop fighting.

The fowl slippery argument is also strong, and there is the Mojia Shangqiu as the confidence in the first battle, and the Chu King Xianmeng is the backing, all kinds of conditions are said, a little pass, Zheng Du is shaken, and they are all willing to kill the soldiers, in order to change the iron farming tools.

According to the analysis of the birds, Si Ziyang believes in the judgment of the Mo family, and also believes that this time Sanjin will definitely participate in the army.

Because under the city of Shangqiu, the Mo family only defeated the king of Chu, but did not annihilate the Chu army, so the power of the Chu people is still large, and the county princes of Chu in Yuguan, Daliang and other places have a lot of troops, and they have not participated in the siege of the Song Dynasty, and have been preventing the three Jin Dynasty from going south.

Sizi Yangzhi was full of pride, and only felt that the Mo family had created an excellent opportunity for their family.

But I don't want to, not long after the bird slippery left, news came from the south.

The king of Chu was assassinated, the prince was suspected of ascending the throne, and the prince fled to Zheng.

After all, Wang Ziding's mother is the daughter of Uncle Zheng, which is an authentic nephew-uncle relationship, and Zheng Guo always has to express his position.

And the prince fled to Zhenghou a few days ago, and immediately sent people to Sanjin, hoping that Sanjin could send troops to escort him back to China and take the throne.

Jin Chu feud, but for the prince, this feud is not as significant as his own accession to the throne.

Anything can be discussed, even if it weakens the state of Chu and betrays the interests of the state of Chu, he, the prince of Chu, can also do it, as long as he can return to the country and take the throne.

Because the Chu State at this time is not the Chu State of his Xiongding, but the Chu State of his brother Xiong Suspicion, then selling the Chu State at this time is not selling his own Chu State, and it will not be heartbreaking to sell it - if it is not his own things lost, how can it be regarded as a loss?

Under all kinds of temptations, Si Ziyang knew that it was impossible for Yu Huali to say that the soldiers would be killed a few days ago.

It is impossible for Sanjin to miss this opportunity, and the soldiers have become a bubble.

The Zheng people must take a stand, and it is clear that there is only one way to go: send troops to escort the prince into Chu, in exchange for enough benefits: Yuguan, Kaifeng, Zhongmu, Daliang!

If he can get these four yi, not only can Zheng Guo increase his strength, but he can also occupy these places as his fiefdoms, so as to make his power stronger.

As for neutrality?

This matter is no longer possible, Zheng Guo's position is much worse than Song Guo's.

In the struggle for hegemony between Jin and Chu, it was necessary to encircle the Song Dynasty, because the Song was on the flank, and the neutrality and closeness of the Song State must be ensured, but it would not help the whole battle situation.

Jin and Chu will fight for hegemony and will fight in Zheng. Because Zheng was in the center, he could directly threaten the Nanyang Basin, the heartland of the Chu State.

If the city is broken, the state of Chu is in danger.

Zheng Guo can only stand in line, not neutral, and there is only one choice to stand in line: join forces with Sanjin and enter the prince.

The relationship between in-laws is only one aspect, and the promise of interests is also one aspect, after all, if your nephew does not support it, then it is always unreasonable.

Moreover, if Zheng Guo continued to choose to make peace with Chu, the first of the three Jin who finally seized the opportunity to fight for hegemony with Chu would attack Zheng Guo.

Originally, it was just Zheng and Han fighting each other, and the Wei people did not participate, but if they did not support Wang Ziding, Wei and Han joined forces, and the Zheng people would not be able to stop it.

Neutrality, in the case of such a big thing suddenly happening in the Chu State, is a joke.

The balance of power has been upset, and the jubilant dream of killing soldiers a few days ago is now a joke.

Now that it has become a joke, you can't have any illusions, Si Ziyang is such a person.

And in addition to this, Si Ziyang has greater ambitions.

If the nobles who support Wang Ziding gather to respond, the Three Jin Dynasty will be able to break through the Great Wall and enter the hinterland of Chu.

And the hinterland of Chu State, not Zheng Guo or his Si Ziyang's interests, can't keep it if you get it.

Therefore, it is necessary to take the lead in declaring war on Chu before the Sanjin Dynasty reacts, and in the name of entering the prince's determination, before the Sanjin Dynasty sends troops, it is even better to go ahead of those Wuyang Yuguan, if you can those Zhongmu, Daliang, Kaifeng and other cities.

If you take these, you don't need to continue to go deep into Chu, but take advantage of the opportunity of Jin and Chu to fight and stab South Korea again!

Si Ziyang calculated for a while, the prince decided that it would take time for the Sanjin to contemplate the Sanjin, and it would take time for the Sanjin to integrate the disputes and send troops, and he had about a year to complete his ambitions:

Within a year, he captured Yuguan and other lands in the east of Chu State, and a year later, after the Three Jin Dynasty sent troops, Zheng Guo waved his flag and shouted but did not send troops, anyway, Zheng Guo did not send troops to the Three Jin Dynasty in order to weaken the Chu State, and when the time came, he seized the opportunity to attack South Korea.

I am afraid that at that time, the Wei people will not stand with the Chu people for the sake of the Zheng people, and they can only admit that this is a personal grudge between Zheng and Han, and they will not interfere.

At that time, he not only obtained the great city of Chu for his fiefdom, but also captured the border city of Han and publicized internally that he had avenged Han Wuzi's revenge for killing Zheng Gong, wouldn't this Zheng Guo be his son?

Si Ziyang thought to himself: This is the destiny of heaven, otherwise how could there be such a good opportunity to befall him?
