As for how it will be chosen, one is to see when the Qin State will seize the West River, if it is within five years, there is a chance that the Zhao State will choose to regain the revenge of the "Inheritance War" of the year, and take the opportunity to swallow the land of Wei north of the Yellow River; If Qin did not attack Wei until seven or eight years later, then it is very likely that Zhao would choose the Three Jin Alliance and attack Zhongshan before that.

Things are universally connected.

Zhao Guo's choice is closely related to the Mo family's future choice.

In the original history, later generations regarded this period as a watershed between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

What is Spring and Autumn? What is Sengoku?

There are many ways to say it.

But among the thousands, there is a saying, which can also be regarded as self-justifying.

The Spring and Autumn Period was a situation in which the two superpowers were many strong and the others were weak, and it was the initial determination of hegemonic international law after the collapse of the Zhouli international law system.

The Jin and Chu countries dominated the Spring and Autumn Period, and the rest of the Qin, Qi, Yan, and Song were all princes within the system.

If there is a system and rules, it will not be too chaotic.

With the advent of the Warring States Period, the old system of international law completely collapsed, and the situation of the two superpowers and many powers was broken with the defeat of the three families and the prince who fled from Daliang City, and Chu could no longer fight against the complete Three Jin, and the complete Three Jin also became the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Chu and Han.

The new rules have not yet been set, and the old ones are no longer maintainable.

It is appropriate to understand that in the troubled times of the Warring States, the new rules are actually very simple: the strong rule the world, the book is the same text, the car is on the same track, and Zhuxia and Kyushu are one.

But it's going to take a process, a long one.

The three families were divided into Jin and the Tian family were divided, and the rules of the old era had already been broken, but the Mo family was born, delaying the collapse of the entire old rules.

More than 20 years ago, in Shangqiu City, Shi said to Mozi "the sword of the world", but because of this "sword of the world", it led to disputes within the Mo family.

There are many interpretations of the sword of the world.

Si Shang single independent country, for a super and how strong the princes, so as to set a new rule, just like in the past thousands of countries and thousands of states headed by Yin Shang, Si Shang on the sword of the world?

Or is this sword of the sword of the world the embodiment of the will of tens of millions of people, the world is one, and those who covenant the world are also the people of the world?

In the former, the Mohists can already do it, and they can do it now, as long as they formulate a new international law, integrate Mozi's concept of non-aggression and the equality of all states, regardless of size, and promise the West River to Qin with "legal principles", then the world will be peaceful for at least 50 years or even 100 years.

This is the theoretical basis for the Mohists to pretend to "kill soldiers, non-attack, the League of Nations, and new rules" this time.

As for the latter, Moji has been doing it, and when the time comes, it will be "unification and innocence, justification of war, and love for the benefit of the world, and it must be synonymous, literate, and on the same track as the world."

Five years ago, Heze met the alliance, and Shi had laid the foundation, but it was not enough.

This time the incident of Song Zheng was the right time to prepare to utter these words completely, to announce the advent of the troubled times of the Warring States and the complete invalidity of the old international law.

Under this, Zhongshan is not guilty, but if Zhao swallows Zhongshan, the Mo family will not take care of it like Zheng Guo, at least Zhao Guo will not kill people and slaughter cities, and do not engage in national oppression.

Under this, Zhao Guo can have more choices, so that he will not feel that the Mo family's non-offensive pressure makes Zhao Guo have no way out...... With the appearance of stirrups, Zhao benefited the most; After this battle, Zhao Guo could know that Wei was strong and strong.

In the end, Zhao Guo will not because of the "non-offensive" shackles on his head, so he can only choose the Three Jin Alliance to fight against the Mo family, because for Zhao Guo, the gains against the Mo family outweigh the losses, and there are two weak chickens next to Zhao Guo, Zhongshan and Yan.

"We have to let the Central Plains fight, and we have to let the Central Plains princes break out the Second Central Plains War, so that Sishang has a greater chance."

Think as you want, and be prepared to do so.

…………

More than a month later, a lot of things happened in the Central Plains around the changes of Zheng and Song.

Due to the lag of the news, the Qin State in the west had just received the news that the Battle of Hidden Sun had been completed.

The new capital of the Qin State.

After more than ten years of change, Qin is no longer the same as more than ten years ago, at least the princes and nobles of Qin no longer listen to the traditional "music of tiles" in Qin, but begin to appreciate the music of silk and bamboo in the Central Plains, and the dancing girls of Handan have also begun to spin and dance in the mansions of the nobles of Qin.

In the palace chambers.

The elderly Wu Qi, Sheng Xuan and others knelt down at the head of Qin Jun.

At the age of forty, Win Shijian gently tapped his fingers to the beat, admiring the music of the Central Plains that he had already known and liked when he was a hostage in Wei and in exile, especially Zheng Guo's beautiful sound.

The aroma of wine is overflowing, all from public workshops.

The legal principle of the Qin State is that "all wealth comes from land, and only land can increase the total wealth of the world, and industry and commerce are nothing more than turning water into ice".

Even after Suo Lushen returned from the Far West many years ago, he refuted those rebellions in Handan City, but this was still the cornerstone of Qin's policy of heavy agriculture.

The people were poor and the country was rich, this was the status quo of the Qin State at this time, the monopolist's trade in the Western Regions, and the military merit system of attacking Xirong to obtain population and land, all enabled a large number of civilians to become rich small landlords similar to the "government soldiers".

One or two Xirong slaves, more than 100 acres of land, this is the basis of the policy of the Qin State, because if it is just divided into land and no one cultivates it, it is still useless.

bypassing the "middleman" of the aristocracy, no one made the difference, making Qin Jun from the largest nobleman in Qin to the real monarch of Qin.

At this moment, the aftermath was lingering, and the winner waved his hand, and those musicians and dancers stopped their movements and went down one after another.

He glanced at Shengqiu and said with a smile: "The letter of the right person is quite interesting. ”

What he said is interesting refers to the "instigation" that is not concealed in his heart: take advantage of the age of Wu Qi and others, hurry up and engage in Xihe, otherwise as soon as they die, you are old and the prince is young, I am afraid that the nobles will regain power, or make a foreign minister with great achievements in Xihe and will not be able to suppress it.

Sheng Xuan bowed slightly, smiling, some things are better than not being able to say them, if Win Shixuan finds out that he is seriously ill now, he has to find a way to get rid of Wu Qi Shengqiu and others, and some things must be explained clearly.

At this time, Shengqiu seemed to understand why he cared so much about "choosing the Son of Heaven" instead of "supporting one person with all the people".

Wu Qi met the eyes of the winning master, also with a smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, today's Central Plains reminds me of a story. ”

Stories are not the stories of the afterlife, but the events of the past.

Winner said strangely: "What's the matter? ”

Wu Qi said: "Shen Gong Wuchen entered Jin because of Xia Ji's matter, and then visited Wu, passed on the method of car warfare, Wu and Yue alternated, the decline and fall of Chu began from this, and the loss of hegemony of Jin began from this. ”

"At the beginning of Jin Jinggong's accession to the throne, the battle of Chengpu was a battle for the Chu people. When Gong Jing asked Duke Shen to make Wu tired, did he ever think about the meeting of Huangchi many years later? That Wu, who was used as a tool of fatigue by the Jin State, could raise troops to dominate the Central Plains? ”

Ying Shiluan's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "In Qing's opinion, at this moment, who is Jin?" Who is Wu? ”

When Wu Qi mentioned this story, Ying Shiqiao couldn't help but think of the current Qin State.

Shengyu entered Qin, because he was regarded by the Mo family as "knowing the city but not knowing the righteousness", and brought to Qin the Central Plains city building and defending the city and the Mo family's city defense technique.

The spring and autumn car battles are male, and the histology is male.

More than ten years ago, Mojia Suo Lushen went to the extreme west and passed through the Western Regions, so that Qin knew that the extreme west could trade and the treasury was rich.

After that, musket stirrups were introduced to Qin, and the method of grassland chariot warfare occupied the land of Xirong, and the art of fort entrenchment immigrated to reclaim the wasteland, and Qin Riqiang.

The method of iron smelting and the technique of gunpowder ratio were all entered into Qin, and agricultural seeds were passed down separately.

In the past, Chengpu was after the war, and now it is divided into three-thirds, just like that time.

Wu has long been extinguished, and the more Sishang is lost, the Mojia has appeared in the Sishang region, which is most likely to affect the Central Plains forces in the whole world, and the world will be chaotic.

Shen Gong Wuchen entered Wu, the border of Chu was not peaceful, Yingdu was broken, and the country was almost destroyed.

The rise of the Mo family was in Sishang, and the three Jin Dynasty of the Qi Dynasty were defeated in successive battles, and civil strife was frequent, and the three Jin Dynasty were not allied and attacked each other.

In any case, this feeling of being treated as a "tool" is very bad.

Wu Qi heard this, but he didn't care, he seemed to feel the depression in the heart of the winning master, and said with a smile: "Don't worry. Jin raised a Wu to deal with Chu, but Wu was not a lackey of the Jin State, the meeting of Huangchi, the husband faced Dinggong, and tens of thousands of soldiers to show his heroism and seek hegemony, what can the Marquis of Jin do? ”

Ying Shixuan snorted and said: "This is to make me the king of Wu, and also make the border of Wei State peaceful." ”

Wu Qi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's a little different. At the time of Dinggong, Jin had the rebellion of Liuqing, civil strife was frequent, and there was finally a meeting of Huangchi, and the lackeys in the past could be on par with the master in order to seek hegemony. But Si Shang Mo family, where did the rebellion of the Six Qing come from? ”

"When the monarch succeeded to the throne, Qin was weak, and the land of Southern Zheng and Hanzhong was powerless to fight. When Qin Qiang arrived, Nanzheng was guarded by the Mo family, and Qin wanted to dominate the Central Plains, so he could only go to the West River and Shangdang to seize the land of Shanxi. We must move forward, advance to survive, retreat to die. At that time, Zhao, Han, and Wei were all enemies of Qin, and if they did not advance, they would retreat, and if they did not win, they would be defeated, and there would be no chance to recuperate. ”

"At that time, if you don't have the strength of one enemy and three enemies, you can only rely on the Mo family's snort, and Nan Zheng will not be able to get it. When the time comes, if it wins, Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Han will all be tired, and the Mo soldiers will be in Taihang, and who will stop them; Fail...... The only way to go west was to open up immigrants to seek depth. ”

The winning master frowned, seemed to hear some overtones, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Wu Qi asked rhetorically: "Yue Guo gave up Sishang East China Sea and retreated into Huiji. The Mo family went straight to the South China Sea, and the more they were doomed. What if the Yue people did not seek to Sishang in the East China Sea, but if there was already a method of iron and gunpowder at that time, and sought to seize the South China Sea? ”

"The monarch thinks that if the barbarian people of the South China Sea still use stone as tools, but the Yue people have gunpowder and iron tools and the Mo family operates the South China Sea colonization technique, can they occupy the South China Sea for a hundred years? Will the required troops and money affect the acquisition of Sishang in the East China Sea? ”

Winning Shilu knew that gunpowder, iron stirrups, new fortresses, and farming techniques appeared after the crushing of the surrounding Yidi, and he also knew that the Mo family would not do unprofitable things, if there were really iron weapons and gunpowder more than a hundred years ago, it would not affect the Yue Kingdom to seek hegemony in Sishang.

Wu Qi saw that the winning master nodded, and asked again: "If you get the South China Sea, even if Sishang is defeated and Langya moves, can Yue still be called a big country instead of being a vassal of the Mo family now?" ”
