Chapter 221: Mutiny
The martial arts system is pioneering, and there will inevitably be many deficiencies, and it requires continuous improvement by those who have the ability to enter the phase, so as to minimize its backlash.
However, since Wu Qi fled, Wei can be regarded as a meat eater, and none of the many nobles can think of the loopholes of the military pawn system, let alone put their minds on a complete set of economic, system, taxation, and military reforms.
Now it is inevitable that there will be a backlash.
There are a lot of rumors circulating among the martial arts.
Such as...... Xihe Shou is now in Qin, and the military soldiers were trained by him, since the land was snatched back by us with blood, then we don't owe Wei Hou anything.
For example, the Qin people's military merit system can not only ensure that rewards and punishments are clear, but also ensure that there is enough land to be rewarded, and enough people can be used as subordinate farmers, so if the Marquis of Wei can't meet his own needs, why not join Qin?
For example, in foreign wars, except for the land rewarded by Xihe by fighting with the Qin people that year, the land of Zheng was divided among the nobles, but it was not the turn of the soldiers.
These rumors spread day by day, and some of them were obviously deliberately spread by the Qin people.
Moreover, the Qin people also openly stated that as long as these professional veterans who were born as military soldiers were willing to return to the Qin state, the original land still belonged to them.
Once the army has its own economic interests, it will have its own ideas, and the nouveau riche who rely on the military merit system will understand what the source of their strength is.
Although the battle of Xihe was a great defeat, it was a battle with the Qin people, and the Qin people's losses were not small.
If it is to do it in the country, many soldiers are convinced that they can definitely fight three soldiers under the nobles.
Pang Juan in the camp was not unaware of the mood in the army, and the soldiers were generally resistant to the possibility of moving south to fight against the Mo family's army.
It's not that the warriors are all bad breeds, but a lot of realistic things, and the princes and nobles didn't think about solving them at all.
They went south to fight, what happened to their families? What about his own land that may have been cut off by Qin Jun? If these "small" and practical things in the eyes of the nobles and princes are not solved, they want to make the soldiers desperate, how can the soldiers be willing to fight?
Pang Juan was born in the aristocracy and has been in the Xihe Army for many years, he is different from those nobles in the court, he not only knows what the low-level soldiers want and cares about, but also understands the flies and dogs among some nobles.
Now in the affairs of Wei, Wei itself can no longer make the decision, and can only interfere with the princes. Whoever the princes let him go up, he can go; Whoever the princes let him down, he will have to go.
As for Wei's own strength, it was no longer enough to resist external enemies and at the same time have another battle for inheritance that is independent and free from external interference.
Pang Juan knew that if the military force that could subdue Western Qin and surrender to Zhao Han twenty or thirty years ago had his own will, he was afraid that the princes and nobles in the capital would be scared to death, and the princes could only wait and see what happened.
But now, Xihe was newly defeated, the troops of Qin, Zhao and Han were all nearby, and they had to face a common enemy, the Sishang Mo family, which made the princes not allow Wei to be in chaos. If you can't mess up, you can't mess up, and any prince who succeeds to the throne can't sit firmly without the support of the princes, let alone rebel and seize power.
As early as a few years ago, many military upstarts had begun to choose people to take refuge, and at that time, Gongzi Gang was the eldest son, and Wei Hou also had great expectations for Gongzi Gang, so most of the upstarts in Xihe were to serve Gongzi Gang.
Pang Juan can be regarded as having taken refuge in Gongzi Gang very early, and now he has to think about Gongzi's future and his own future.
He doesn't look down on those old aristocrats, especially the old aristocrats with great family power, their skills are sparse, and they can't cope with the drastic changes in the past thirty years.
But he didn't support the Mohist set, because he didn't oppose the system of respect and inferiority, he only objected to his own lack of opportunity to be honored, as long as there was an upward channel, in fact, the order of respect and inferiority was also what he agreed.
Pang Juan felt that just like in the time of Wenhou, Wu Qi, Le Yang, Ximen Leopard, Beimen Ke, and Duan Ganmu were not all people with not very noble backgrounds? As long as the monarch is still virtuous and gives them a chance to rise, except for those who have brain problems like Xihe Fowl and have to benefit the world, how many people are not willing to do their best to assist the monarch?
At this time, Anyi was in turmoil, Luoyi was in dispute, and there were also exchanges between all parties in the camp along the river.
Pang Juan was meeting with several military upstarts at this time, and Gongzi Gang's henchmen asked about the mood in the army and said: "Qin, Zhao, and Han Qi are too urgent, and if they don't cut the West River, Xiaqiu, and Yecheng, all countries will be angry." It is a foregone conclusion that the troops will be sent against Mexico, and the Xihe soldiers are reluctant to go south, for fear of chaos. β
Pang Juan said: "Those who can quarrel with Gongzi are the only ones who can slow down." I have a plan, the upper can ensure that the prince will inherit the marquis, the lower can make the Xihe willing to fight, and the other can make the oppression of various countries not too much, so that the Wei State still has vitality. In the future, it may be possible to rise again. β
He was keenly aware that this was an opportunity for him to step into the core of the Wei State, and the opportunity could not be lost and not come again, since he had decided to take refuge in Gongzi Gang, then he must make enough contributions to Gongzi Gang, only in this way could he complete the leap from a military upstart to a great family of the Wei State.
The people who came were all Gongzi's henchmen, and he had a lot of contact, so naturally he wouldn't worry about what news the other party had leaked.
When the other party heard this, he was really overjoyed and asked, "Will the plan be released?" β
Pang Juan said: "As the Mohists said, if you want to solve the problem, you must analyze the problem. β
"The root cause of the problem in the danger of Wei today lies in three points."
"First, the Mo family wants to turn the world upside down, whether the noble is always noble or cheap, everyone is equal and the land is owned by the people of the world, so Qin, Qi, Han and Zhao are all opposed, and the meat eaters in Wei are also opposed, which is the main contradiction."
"In addition to the main contradiction, Wei is weak and difficult to use as the main force to resist the Mo family, so Han Qi and Zhao Qin sent troops, not only relying on Wei to provide grain and grass for the people, but also relying on the Wei meat-eaters to oppose Mo more than others, so they can force the prince very much."
"Among them, it is also because if the son does not cut the land, the son will cut it slowly. In the affairs of the Wei State, it is difficult for the Wei people to make decisions, and the interference of the princes can determine the succession of Wei. β
"The problem with Xihezhu is that the land wealth of many Xihezhu is in Hexi, if Hexi is ceded and the land is donated to the Qin people, this news comes, but there is no news about how to compensate for the land of Wushu."
"The nobles made meritorious contributions, and they often rewarded 100,000 yuan; The soldiers fought and killed, but they only got hundreds of acres of land, and these fields had to be ceded out, and they would be angry. β
"It is only said that if the anti-Mo family succeeds in the future, it will reward good fields and slaves, but a Mo family is good at fighting, and the battle may not be won, and if it is not won, there will be no reward; The second war also took several years, and how did his family and wife live during these years? β
He analyzed it slightly, and several people next to him nodded yes, thinking that this was indeed the case, if it was said clearly, it would be simple.
After listening to this, Gongzi took a deep breath, his heart was nervous, he heard what Pang Juan meant, and asked tentatively, "You mean...... Do you want to get rid of the child? β
Pang Juan said: "The main contradiction with the Mo family must be resolved, as long as this direction remains unchanged, then the princes will not oppress too much, it is still negotiable." The reason why there is too much oppression now is because of the existence of Gongzi. The king has never set up a prince so far, and the prince is also powerful, so Han Zhao and Qi Qin can be left and right. β
"If the son does not cut the land much, then force the son to slow; If the son is slow and not circumcised, he supports the childe. β
"But there is one point, the purpose of the princes' alliance with Luoyi this time is not to divide Wei, but to oppose Mexico. Otherwise, if they really wanted to make peace with the Mo family and divide the Wei land, how could they let the monarch also participate in the alliance? Therefore, the matter of dividing Wei is just intimidation, as long as the main contradiction is clearly recognized, they can stand up, and they are helpless. β
However, because of the existence of Gongzi, his thoughts are different, and it is difficult to persevere. Therefore, if you get rid of your son, you can make the situation look good. β
Pang Juan's words made Gongzi's henchmen feel a sense of surprise, and after thinking deeply, he said, "You're right. If he is really ready to make peace with the Mo family and divide Wei, it is impossible to invite Wei to join the Son of Heaven. β
Pang Juan added: "The one who is most afraid of the Mo family, Han Ye, is that South Korea has never ceded land so far, but just hopes that Wei will cede land and let Qin, Qi, and Zhao send troops. β
"But this time, not only South Korea sent envoys, but Qin also sent envoys. Moreover, as soon as the Battle of the West River was decided, Qin immediately sent troops to seize the Shang land, and his vigilance against the Mo family was no less than that of Han. β
"Therefore, Han and Qin are better than Wei and Wei. If Qi divides Wei, it will be necessary for Han Qin's strength, and if Han Qin does not support it, Qi will have to worry about the Mo family going north. β
"Qin wants to get the West River, but what he wants and what we can give, this can be negotiated and fought for, and South Korea will also come forward to mediate in order to ask all countries to work together to oppose Mexico."
Gongzi's henchmen greatly agreed, and said with a sigh of relief: "Gongzi's authorities are fascinated, and he is being persecuted by the princes in Luoyi, which is really difficult to see. β
Pang Juan smiled: "As for being a son, there are two more benefits. β
"One of them can cut off the hearts of the princes to establish princes."
"Second, the fief of Gongzi Zhuan, the fief of his henchmen, and the fief of his nobles can all be collected by the king."
"A part can be divided into military soldiers, with them as soldiers but not soldiers, recruit new troops for training, reward soldiers and not reward soldiers, and they will be from the son. Others can also be distributed among the people and conscripted into the army. β
Childe's confidant asked, "Who can do it?" Is there a sting option? β
Pang Juan said: "There is no need to use assassins at this time. It is only necessary to spread rumors among the military soldiers, saying that the prince wants to cut more land to flatter Qin Qi and Zhao. There were many complaints in the army, and they said that Gongzi had a lot of land to slow down and refused to give up a little, but he would not consider that Xihe's land was taken away by the Qin people. β
"It is rumored that Gongzi has the intention to negotiate with the Qin people, but he doesn't want Gongzi to delay the secret alliance with Qin Zhao, saying that if he is a marquis, he will cut more Xihe."
"There are many complaints in the army, and some old soldiers also have power, but they can conspire with others to march into Anyi under the name of punishing national thieves. Burst into the city and killed Gongzi and his advisers. β
"At that time, the old nobles will definitely panic, fearing that their land will also be divided by these rebellious armies, so that there will be a coup d'Γ©tat that massacres the old nobles, but Xihe and I can actually control it, in other words, only Gongzi can come forward to calm down. Deterring the old nobles, and killing the son, you can allocate land to appease the soldiers, and you can deter the old nobles from changing the system. β
"Once the matter is done, without waiting for the reaction of all countries, immediately take the initiative to attack ink in Daliang and Chengyang. Holding high the banner of righteousness, telling the world the truth that the princes will meet the alliance to see the Son of Heaven is actually anti-Mo, and the Mo family must deal with it, and then the countries will no longer be able to put their minds on cutting Wei, and can only quickly ask for the stability of Wei to be able to resist, and they will inevitably fully support Gongzi Gang. β
