Chapter 670: Last Chance (1)
It is true that the situation has changed again, and it is not in one part of the country, but in several places at the same time.
Ji Bu stopped Zang Di at the behest of Lu Zhe, and Zang Di's whereabouts along the way were indeed under the control of the Han State, and what they did on the way may not be fully understood by the Han State, but about the fact that they have been understanding the livelihood of the people in the occupied areas, the Han State officials can naturally observe it.
Zang Di's observation of the people's livelihood in the occupied areas was a good thing for the Han State, and that was one of the main purposes of Lü Zhe's Han army in the Han army to arrest Zang Tu without doing anything and give him the right of way.
Many of the practices of the Han State are ahead of the administrative concepts of this era, although there is a slight confusion in many political systems, and some things are also full of contradictions, but it has to be said that no matter how immature the administrative means, it is also a "way" that sums up two thousand years, otherwise it has its advanced nature.
As for the governance of the occupied areas, it is a feasible means that Lu Zhe synthesized many "versions" to integrate and think that it is a feasible governance plan that recognizes the peace of mind of people after the war, and also guarantees that as long as they are willing to sell their strength, they can survive.
Of course, there is a premise for those those, that is, the Han side has sufficient supplies, and at the same time, it is guaranteed to have sufficient deterrence.
This time, more than one million people have been mobilized by the Han State to participate in the transportation of materials, and the materials loaded from the Han mainland are being transported to the north every moment, and this is only by land.
The use of water transport in the Han Kingdom has always been very common, the Yangtze River basin is connected to the big river Surabaya, after exploration, it has been confirmed that the Yangtze River into Surabaya can be transported, how can the Han side not use it? After the first batch of ships loaded with supplies from the Surabaya system to the north, the transportation of materials was no longer a matter.
At the same time, because water transportation was feasible, the speed at which the Han army replenished its troops was also increased. The 2nd and 3rd Mixed Regiments were soon replenished again.
The two re-fully re-staffed regiments, with the assistance of auxiliary troops, began to turn from comprehensive passivity to initiative on the Jishui front, and the scope of the battlefield was also repeatedly expanded, and the battle began to show fierceness. However, I don't know why? A part of the troops of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment, which had been staying in the forest behind the battle line, had not moved, even if several cavalry teams went to meet in the future, and the total number of cavalry reached 20,000, they had always remained quiet and did nothing.
If it is said that the battle on the front line of Jishui has become fierce is a change, then what happened on the side of Qin is one earthquake after another.
I don't know how the gossip about the death of the First Emperor on the Qin side didn't know how it spread, and the crown prince Fusu and a kind of core minister naturally tried their best to clarify. However, under the premise that the First Emperor could not show his face, any clarification seemed weak and pale.
Because of the farce of the central group, the Qin royal family and the individual classes were already in contradiction, after the rumors of the death of the first emperor appeared, the groups that had been suppressed before began to liven up, and they tried every possible way to know whether the first emperor was still in the news, as it has been impossible to confirm that the first emperor is still in a relationship, some of the temptations have become more and more bold.
Here we have to mention some of the old clans of the original Qin State, that is, those so-called old Qin people. Among these people, the three major clans of Meng, Xi, and Bai, which have been in decline for nearly 200 years after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and the longer clans such as Baili, Qianju, Du, Di, Qu, and Bang.
Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the old Qin people of the Qin State have changed from a high active period to a dull stage in the Qin State, and they have rarely seen a trace after Ying Zheng took power, and the civil and military forces active outside the Qin Dynasty are basically from Shandong or the south. That is, the old Qin people often say that the Qin State is no longer the origin of the Qin people.
In fact, if you look at the pattern of the Qin State in the past hundred years, you can really find that those old Qin people are right, the Qin State after the self-defense martingale, the post of prime minister has nothing to do with the old Qin people......
Then there are the various positions that are also taken over by outsiders. First there was Wei Ying, then there was Zhang Yi, and then there were Gongsun Yan, Le Chi, Qu Gai, Zhu Liji, Gan Mao, Wei Ran, Qi Rong, Lou Xuan, Jin Shou, Du Cang, Shou Candle, Fan Ju, Cai Ze, Lü Buwei, Gan Luo, Xu Xu, Chang Pingjun, Chang Wenjun, and Kui Lin. How many of these people are from the old Qin people?
It's not just the prime minister. Together with the last position held by the old Qin people, that is, the military attache position, since the Mengshi and the Li family, which came from the Shandong countries, as well as the Wei family (from the Mi family), the Huan family, and the Xiong family, who came from the southern Chu state, all kinds of people competed for the official positions that the old Qin people had not many, and what was left was only a Wang family who made contributions when Yingzheng ascended the throne.
In the royal family (royal family), if the era of Xiaogong Quliang can still play a role, it has also become dispensable in the era of Huiwen Wang Yingsi, and then in the era of Wuwang Yingdang, Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji, Xiaowen Wang Yingzhu, and Zhuangxiang Wang Yingchu, the royal family is a process of self-suppression, and there is no royal family member who can be counted in the era of Yingzheng in power.
The old Qin people didn't know that history had changed, and when Win Huhai ascended the throne, the royal family would face one massacre after another, and in the end, in addition to Win Huhai, the second Qin Emperor, some insignificant members and female princesses, the Qin royal family was simply an "empty shelf".
Fusu is rumored to be a benevolent person, and benevolence has always been associated with indecision, and he has really not shown a tendency to revive the old Qin people in the past, but has reused "outsiders" more than the rulers of previous dynasties, which is a continuation of the disaster that has lasted for more than two hundred years.
The situation in the Qin State is very bad, it is unprecedentedly bad! Some old Qin people believe that it was brought by "outsiders", and that the current state of the Qin state is due to a two-hundred-year-long conspiracy between the Shandong states and the southern Chu state, and now the conspiracy will soon come to an end, and the Qin state will no longer exist, and they should take action to save it.
Since the historical event of "chasing away guests", the old Qin people have exerted their own energy, and some white-haired clan chiefs have come to Xianyang to ask for the prince Fusu......
Yes, it is to see Fusu, not to see Yingzheng, they are a kind of temptation, the most direct test about whether the first emperor Yingzheng is still alive.
If the First Emperor was still there, these old Qin clan patriarchs would simply hide their flags, pat their butts and continue to go back to their perch, and then silently watch the situation continue to develop.
Obviously, they did not see the First Emperor, and it was Fusu who received them, and when they asked to see the First Emperor, Fusu also tried every possible way to find excuses and refused.
"The emperor is gone...... there was no longer doubt in the old man's voice, and he looked at Fusu with eyes that didn't have much respect or awe: "I don't know how the crown prince will govern the Qin State after he ascends the throne?" ”
Fusu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. How could he not know what these people were asking, wasn't it still a topic that had been entangled for more than two hundred years?
Is the Qin State without the old Qin people in charge or not?
Without the participation of the old Qin people in the Qin state, the benefits of the country were either swallowed up by the royal family, or they were divided up by those "outsiders", and the old Qin people became absolute outsiders......
When anything changes for the better and has nothing to do with them, what kind of choices will people make? That's right, just be a bystander!
There are always people who wonder why in the original history, when the Qin State was facing the collapse of the country, why did the Qin people watch the country perish so indifferently?
Many people think that it is related to a series of absurd directives after Qin II came to power, but Hu Hai did not issue many administrative instructions after coming to power, even if Zhao Gao was doing nonsense, he was only engaged in Xianyang to do things in the east and west, and various places questioned whether the edict in Hu Hai was the original intention of the first emperor, and in many cases it was in a realistic environment of "not dividing but autonomous".
The phrase "freezing three feet is not a day's cold" is very philosophical and can explain a lot of things, is it really that Qin became so indifferent after Qin II came to power? Things have cause and effect, and the Qin people's indifference to the demise of the Qin State is definitely not a concept that can be formed in one or two days, it is a long time to form.
The history of the Qin State is very long, and if the historical burden can be converted into weight, it can definitely exceed the weight of one or two Mount Tai. Fusu knew that his answer was about a lot, and whether he could let this group of old Qin people who had been silent for one or two hundred years join the ranks of saving the Qin State depended on whether they could meet their demands in the future.
The appeal of the old Qin people is to return to the court and participate in the distribution of interests of the country, which is a very realistic thing that is not so easy for Fusu to deal with.
Once the distribution of interests is formed, the desire to redistribute it is bound to cause one turmoil after another, and now the interest pattern of the Qin State has been formed, which is a kind of status quo in which the royal family and the "outsiders" are divided together. If the old Qin people want to participate in the distribution of interests, those with vested interests must give up enough benefits, and how much interest should be divided depends on how much strength the old Qin people can withdraw.
The old Qin people were a little indifferent to the temptation of Fusu, and they said: "The southwest lost the three counties, and the upper counties also fell, and the current Qin State is not the Qin State that still owns the whole territory. ”
Fusu has nothing to be annoyed about, of course he knows that the current decline of the Qin State is obvious, and it is precisely because of this that the old Qin people are more needed, in fact, these people did not take the initiative to look for it, and he will also go to find it.
The Qin State has long reached the point where it needs to unite all forces to save the declining situation, which is very clear to anyone who understands the situation, but it is clear that it is never so easy to give up the benefits that have been obtained.
Fusu has communicated many times with the Mengshi brothers, the Xu family, the Wang family and many other clans active in the court on the distribution of benefits, and the facts have proved to be really troublesome, otherwise there would not be a matter of Wang Ben running to Yanmen after receiving an order to return to his division.
