Chapter Eighty-Eight: The New Cry of the Fledgling (2)
The envoy also talked about the Moshi going to Peidi to do righteousness, and he didn't know much about what he was going to do, and Wu Qi didn't know much about the situation in Peidi.
But in the bottom of my heart, I still feel that these people must have deep meaning.
He knows something about the ink man, and knows that it is impossible for the ink man to do things without deep meaning.
After asking a few more questions, Wu Qi knew more, but the envoy didn't know it anymore, and it was also impossible to communicate with him by his vision.
After sending off the envoy, Wu Qi hurriedly called someone to prepare a carriage and horses, and went to see Li Kui overnight.
Although Wu Qi was recommended by Zhai Huang, Li Kui recognized Wu Qi's talent, and even commented: "Wu Qi is greedy and lustful, but when it comes to the ability to lead troops to fight, he is not weaker than Sima Sui Tho and Sun Wuzi." ”
Sima Sui Tho has long since passed away, and now when it comes to knowing soldiers, he and Sun Wuzi must always be called together, and Li Kui believes that Wu Qi's talent in using soldiers is not weaker than these two.
Sima Sui Tho and Sun Wuzi are distant relatives, to be precise, they are both surnamed Tian, which is the surname Tian of the current civil strife in Qi.
Tian Sui Tho was called Sima Sui Tho by later generations because of the official residence of Sima; Sun Wuzi's grandfather and Tian Chang's grandfather, who opened the harem to welcome guests, were brothers of the same father, and Sun Wuzi and Tian Chang were fourth-generation cousins.
It was precisely because of his trust in Wu Qi's talent and the importance of the land of the West River that even though Li Kui was busy dealing with the follow-up of the conquest of Zhongshan, when he heard that Wu Qi was coming, he still greeted him with courtesy.
The guest and host sat down, and Wu Qi took advantage of the matter of "Jiahe" to talk about the ink man.
Although the ink artist is not very active in the Three Jin Dynasty, he has a great reputation in the Three Jin Dynasty, because he was originally a traitor to Xihe Confucian, and he is the most famous one among the traitors.
Wei Si, who was not yet the Marquis of Wei at this time, recruited a large number of talents, and also had the heart to swallow heaven and earth, so he imitated the form of the four friends of King Wen and the four friends of Zhongni, and also called himself four friends.
One of the four friends, Duan Ganmu and Yu Huali, knew each other when they were young, and some people called these two people and the ancient sage Fu Shuo, calling them "their friends are all benevolent and righteous, pure and fearful of orders, and the officials are reasonable".
If Yu Huali did not rebel against Zi Xia and defected to Mo Zhai, and was silent for three years and finally got Mozi's approval, I am afraid that his status in Wei at this time will not be weaker than Duan Ganmu.
Duan Ganmu's surname is Li, his name is Ke, he is sealed in Duan, and he is a doctor of Ganmu. And his former friend Yu Huali is now just an ink man, wearing straw sandals, short brown and carrying a copper sword, and eating brown rice everywhere.
The two chose different paths, they used to be friends, and the names of the Bird Slippery and the Ink Maker were not unfamiliar among the nobles of Wei Land, and they were occasionally mentioned.
Wu Qi had heard the words of the ink man in Ludo, and had declared that the ink man was the mortal enemy, and some of the ideas of the ink man were also mentioned all day long as negative teaching materials.
The two Confucian and Mo families are like happy enemies on some issues, especially in the matter of ghost and god sacrifices, they really achieved "opposition for the sake of opposition".
Zhong Ni didn't say anything to blame the gods, but reburied the sacrifice, and the ink man said that since you don't talk about ghosts and gods, aren't the sacrifices and reburials taking off your pants and farting?
Mozi often talks about ghosts and gods, but he is also a festival funeral, wishing that the princes and nobles would use a three-foot coffin when they died, and do not use the funeral goods to work the people and lose money.
Although Wu Qi first learned from Zeng Shen, he was driven away because of unfilial piety, and then had an inextricable relationship with Zi Xia Ru in Xihe. However, since Confucianism has been divided into six, the Xihe School is different from Zeng Shen's Confucianism.
In his opinion, although Confucianism and ink are mortal enemies, if the ink people remove the principles of frugal burial, non-attack, and love, they can be used in conjunction with Xihexue.
The means of synonymous from top to bottom, fear of the law, the formation of the people, and the whole city are not rendered useless because of whether they are righteous or not.
This time, Wu Qi returned to Weidu, heard a lot of news from the ink masters, and heard about Sumai, so he thought of some ways in his heart.
He sat opposite Li Kui, surrounded by silence, no wine or food, only smoke emanating from the bronze vessels.
Li Kui knew that Wu Qi would not talk about the ink master for no reason, and knew that this matter must be important, so he listened quietly.
Wu Qi said: "The rebel who became famous in Xiaqiu, I also know this person. I also heard about the cultivation of winter wheat in the land of Song. After thinking about it for a long time, this is a good opportunity for you. If you can take advantage of Jiahe Xiangrui and Fa Qi this year, the Lord will be crowned a marquis, and these two things will be of great benefit to compete for domination of the world in the future. ”
Li Kui was busy asking for advice, Wu Qi straightened out his thoughts, and said: "When I founded the military in Xihe, it is no longer the unity of farmers and soldiers, but the separation of agriculture and strong soldiers, and soldiers and farmers. ”
"It takes money to raise a strong army, and the money comes from the taxes, but the taxes grow from the farmers. If the method of winter wheat and the sweet potato and potato are introduced into the West River, the yield per mu will be doubled, and the number of mu will increase to four times if it remains unchanged. ”
In this way, originally ten households of farmers could raise one soldier, but after obtaining this method, three or five households could raise one soldier. The number of military soldiers is doubled, the tax rate remains unchanged, and the civilian population is sufficient...... Of the 80,000 soldiers, 40,000 were divided to defend the West River, and another 40,000 attacked Qi, Wei, Zheng and other anointed places, and the hegemony could be achieved. ”
The military soldier system he pioneered can be regarded as a professional soldier recruitment system, but there are remnants of the system of mobilizing and conscripting peasants and soldiers, which can be regarded as a system of recruiting soldiers and adding government soldiers, and it also involves a system of exemption from taxation.
This military system will dominate the world within 50 years, but the vested interest class formed 50 years later and the grassroots officer corps families formed by the collapsed field system will also cause a backlash.
But at this time, this military system is invincible in the world, and it can completely beat most of the countries of Zhuxia at this time, especially the Chu State, which has the most serious feudal system.
Li Kui presided over the reform of the Wei State, and as soon as Wu Qi said this, he knew what it meant.
If Wu Qi has 80,000 soldiers in his hands, and even changes the military system of the entire Wei State to a military pawn system, on the one hand, it can strengthen the monarchy, and on the other hand, it can indeed strengthen the country, and maintain the advantage of Xihe over Qin in the west, and divide troops to attack the plastered land in the Central Plains in the east, how can it be a hegemony?
After talking about the rotation of wheat and new crops, Wu Qi said: "Moreover, the famous victory of Xiaqiu has been famous as early as Qilu. I have always known the art of the ink man to defend the city, and if the city of three miles, if the Mozi and the fowl come in person, I will not dare to attack it without five times the army. ”
"In the past, the birds learned from Xihe, and later learned the art of Mo Zhai guarding the city. Shengyu is good at battle formations, although the defense of the city is not as good as Mozi and birds, but its means of defending the city must also be high. Otherwise, the hill will be surrounded, and Tian Bu will dig into those rebels with tunnels to deal with the law, but I am afraid that the hill has been broken. ”
"Now that these people have rebelled against the Ink, it is clear that they no longer abide by the principles of the Ink, such as non-attack, love, sparing, and non-righteousness, and they can be used by the Lord."
"If you let these people go to the West River, guard Dali, Yin Jin, Wucheng, and Hequ...... Then the Qin people will not be able to break the city. The Qin people are tired, and I will lead the soldiers to go there again, so that they can break the labor, and there is no need to spend more soldiers. Rebel and defend the city, I will attack the tired Qin who is besieging the city, and I can save half of the troops. ”
"Coupled with the formation of Sumai Xingu and Shiwu, half of the soldiers of Xihe can be divided into the east of the river. Deter the Zhao family, if you have the opportunity, capture Handan and Zhongmu, and all the land of Zhao belongs to Wei. ”
"Qi is in chaos and strong outside, there are the rebellion of Niuzi, the rebellion of Gongsun Hui, and the rivalry between Tian and Tian Hao, and they will be powerless to stop Wei within twenty years."
"Wei is weak and fat, and he can be attacked with one attack."
"Han Zheng has a blood feud, and Han Di is close to Chu. Although the king of Chu is newly established, he is brave and combative, and if Han wants to survive, he must seek Wei. Twenty years later, the Three Jin Dynasty, Han and Wei can become one again. ”
In this way, twenty years later, the world will be decided. It is nothing more than the dispute between Wei and Chu. Chu is large and wide, and it can't be attacked at once, and it will encroach on mulberry within a hundred years, which is the matter of Zhongshan Jun and his descendants. ”
Li Kui knew that Wu Qi's talent was not only in military training, but also in appearance, and his ambition was also very comparable.
Originally, it was not easy to select military soldiers, and they had to train on a full-time basis, so the number of military soldiers per mu at this time was already the limit, and it was impossible to increase it.
Thirty or fifty thousand soldiers, although they could suppress the Qin people only by relying on Xihe alone, they could not advance eastward, but they could not divide their troops to help fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.
If they trained military soldiers elsewhere and reformed the military system, they would be opposed by the Wei clan.
A while ago, the Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed, and Wei Sifeng's son Wei Zheng became the king of Zhongshan, which has aroused the strong opposition of the Wei princes, and even caused some turmoil - Wei Zhen is the heir, and sealing him as the king of Zhongshan is equivalent to the direct rule of the monarch twenty or thirty years later. Coupled with the Xihe Land, which had already implemented the law change, belonged to Qin before, and was not hindered by the power of the clans, the clans understood that the power of the monarch would not be something they could stop in twenty years, which was unacceptable to them.
Wu Qi saw from Dongmai Xingu and those rebels that there was a way to strengthen the power of Xihe and the monarch on the original basis without touching the interests of the clan too much.
How can Li Kui not pay attention to it?
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that Wu Qi's method could be implemented.
Now Hangu Pass and Kunsai are in the hands of Wei Zong; Huashan and Liangshan, the two mountain ranges that suppressed the Qin people, were also owned by Wei Zong, and the Great Wall built along the mountains ensured that if the Qin people could not attack the West River, they could only isolate themselves from the Central Plains in Guanzhong, and there was no chance to get into the world.
Shanxi is the strategic commanding heights of the north. Shanxi, attack and defend freely.
The Qin people are now caught outside the mountain, and the statement that the Qin people are solid is a dream at this time, and the danger of mountains and rivers belongs to Wei at this time.
If there are 350,000 more soldiers, the situation of the entire Warring States will change.
Sumai New Valley, in the future, will definitely be planted in the world, but the countries of the world have completed part of the change of the law only Weidi Xihe, if there is no supporting change to adapt to the new productive forces, it is impossible to exert all the war power.
If the Zhao clan was forced by the Wei clan to go south, then they could only develop north. Once the Zhao clan captured the Hetao, they could threaten the poor Qin state from north to south without going through the West River, which was owned by the Wei people, and the situation of the entire Warring States would be very different.
Moreover, if those rebels help Wu Qi to defend the West River, the Qin people can't break the city in a hurry, and when the Qin army is tired, Wu Qi calmly mobilizes his troops to surround and kill, which can save troops.
Such a tactic of defending the city and waiting for reinforcements was used three or five times, and the Qin people did not dare to attack and disturb the West River again if they did not send troops to conquer the country. And to send out the troops of the country, the interval between each attack on the West River will be extended.
Because the more troops dispatched, the more preparations will be made in advance, and the longer it will take, and Wu Qi is not afraid of a decisive battle with Qin at all, but hates that the Qin people will besiege the city repeatedly when they find an opportunity.
Now it is like a rotten cowhide, it comes once every three or five years, and if you teach the Qin people a few lessons, I am afraid that the interval will be from three or five years to more than ten years before it is possible to come once. If the Qin State does not reform, time is on the side of the Wei people, and the longer the time, the greater the difference in strength between the two sides.
Those who rebelled against ink and used instruments, crops, shiwu and other means, and the method of building cities and walls is also unique in the world. It's just that because of the non-attack, it is impossible for the ink to go to the Three Jins, and now those who rebel against the ink are the best opportunities.
Li Kui is not worried about Shengxuan, he has also heard about this person. Since they like to be famous, they are similar characters to Wu Qi, and such characters need to be given enough stage to perform their revenge.
As long as he says that he is moving to the Lord, he will send a car to meet him in Liqiu and give him fame; Give him reel, give him riches; Then this person will be able to use it.
But this thing such as wheat, new grain, ridge cropping, and fields was initiated by the person named Shi, and Li Kui really had never heard of this person's name.
So he asked: "Jun Zeng Shilu, I have also seen Mo Zhai, and I learned from Zeng Shen, so I must have an understanding of the characters among the Mo people." What kind of person is this suitable, who may be used by us? He is in the Song Land, not reused, may come to Wei? ”
He thought, this is called Shi Shi learned from hermits like Mr. Sai and Tang Han, maybe these two people are characters like Lao Peng.
Since the new grain was obtained by this young man, then the art of harvesting must be refined, and if it can be used, the policy of heavy agriculture will be easier to implement.
In the Song Dynasty, it is not reused, and if you want to do righteousness, you have to ask the ministers to allow it, maybe you can come to Weidi?
I didn't want Wu Qi to hear it, so he shook his head directly.
"This man is young, he has not yet reached the crown, I didn't know this person before. But I know that this man will not be of use to us. A daughter may be able to hire a good man, but it is impossible to hire those who have not betrayed ink. If the bird didn't leave the West River back then, he is now afraid that he is already a doctor, but he does not regret it, and the ink is probably like this. ”
"That's why I've come to you for advice."
