Chapter 758: Reason and Confusion

"Why isn't it operational?"

"Any strategy is based on a starting point, which can be to weaken the enemy or frustrate the spirit, but there is a premise to achieve the goal of self-interest."

"If we do that, we can bury their most elite legions, and don't we weaken the enemy? Isn't it a frustration? ”

"Yes, but will that lead to a goal that will benefit us?"

"Didn't you? The situation is bound to change, without the main legion that reacts quickly, and the plague spreads in Qidi. ”

"I want to ask, are the few legions outside the Saiwai all the forces under the command of Han Wang Zhe? The plague in Qi has spread, and the turmoil in the world has become inevitable, and Han Wangzhe, who has lost part of the Central Plains, has suffered a fatal blow from his fundamental strength? ”

"Bury a few main army corps, especially the two cavalry corps, as long as we block the road from Longxi to the south of the Yangtze River, Han Wangzhe will not have enough war horse resources to form a new cavalry army in a short period of time."

"The current general trend of the world is not in favor of Great Qin, we have lost too many things."

“……”

"Obviously, the loss of a few legions outside the Saiwai will not make Han Wang Zhe tired, Han Wang Zhe still has at least 1.8 million troops under his command, the strength of the Han State is not because of a few * individual legions, but its institutional superiority, the disappearance of a few legions, Han Wang Zhe will inevitably re-establish a few legions, that is also the advantage of the population under the rule. In addition, causing the plague to spread will cause chaos in various places again, so that the situation will be repeatedly out of control, and the plague may spread to the south, but not to Qindi? ”

"Do nothing, do you want to accept the fate arranged by Han Wangzhe if you don't resist?!"

This is a conversation between Meng Yi and Li Si, and not many people are listening. But they are all figures who can influence the decision-making of the Qin State, and they can also indirectly determine the future fate of the Qin State.

Meng Yi is naturally the one who expresses a strong desire to fight back, while Li Si is the one who appears to be rational but appears weak.

The Montessori family has been operating in the Qin State for four generations, and finally became the most prominent magnate in the Qin State in this generation, and they originally thought that the Montessori would usher in a more glorious era after Fusu ascended the throne, but the changes in the situation in the world have made everything come to naught.

"We have to do something."

"It's hard for us to do anything now, and irrational behavior may even make the situation worse."

Fusu's face was full of worry, and the faces of the rest such as Wang Xuan, Kui Lin, Nei Shi Teng, and Feng Qujian were not much better, but they had a numb look.

The Qin State has been glorious, and the most glorious moment is to control the whole world. It's a pity that because of the lack of innate heritage, and because of too much hatred left over from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin State lost control of the world if it was a little bit of turmoil.

The Great Qin Center has conducted many discussions and realized that the current situation is not caused by one generation or two generations, or even one or two people, but by the accumulation of many things. They have deduced the situation, and the results of countless deductions have shown that even without the rise of Lu Zhe, there must be other things happening, and once something happens, Daqin can guarantee stability in addition to the local area. The land usurped from the Six Nations will inevitably lose their control rights.

Although the Six Kingdoms are dead, the people who have a hatred for Great Qin are not dead, and in such a current situation, Great Qin should actually adjust its national policy and use at least thirty years to ensure that "there is nothing in the world". But that was something that Great Qin couldn't do.

In reality, both the southern and northern expeditions are based on practical needs, after all, the Baiyue in the south has been encroaching and harassing to the north, and the Hequ in the north is simply occupied by some grassland tribes entangled by the Xiongnu. It was the status quo that forced Great Qin to send troops to conscript.

In view of the difficulty of changing the national policy, the rule of law began with the reform of the Qin Xiaogong era and experienced the persistence of several generations of kings. The legal system has penetrated into all aspects of the Qin State, so the Qin State can be said to be "the world of Legalists", and the rule of law is the foundation of the Qin State, which should not be lightly changed.

It is difficult to change the national policy, so there must be contradictions in the old land of ruling the Six Kingdoms, and there are differences between the social environment, thoughts, and concepts of the Six Kingdoms and the Qin State, and it is normal for the people of the Six Kingdoms to not adapt to it in the short term under the harsh legal system.

Fusu once advised the First Emperor that the leaders of the six kingdoms of the dead country should be given a buffer, and it can be said that the governance of the Qin land and the old land of the six countries should be temporarily separated.

According to the way of understanding of the Celestial Empire, Fusu was persuading the First Emperor to implement a national policy similar to "one country, two systems", but how could it be possible to implement such a plan according to the personality of the First Emperor, because the First Emperor even thought that Fusu was not a qualified heir.

There was no flexible change in the national policy, and even for some reason, Great Qin has been harsh on the leaders of the Six Kingdoms, so that Great Qin's rule over the occupied areas is actually based on the suppression of strong force.

The basic national policy of Great Qin, that is, the legal system plus the system of cultivation and warfare, doomed the Qin State to be strong, but after the matter dominated the world, there was another historical event, and it was that incident that caused a rift on the strongest side of the Qin State, and that thing was the absolute centralization of power.

The feudal system has been carried out in the land of China for nearly 2,000 years, and it has been a matter since the establishment of Xia, and the concept of kings and lords to govern the country together has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The most exaggerated thing is that once the absolute centralization of power becomes a fact, then the life and death of the world are completely in the hands of one person, and everyone in the world is a slave except for the emperor.

The prestige of the First Emperor was unparalleled, and his authority doomed opposition to the absolute clique of the central government to be extremely risky. In the process of arguing whether the central government was absolutely centralized, it was not uncommon for the first emperor to dismiss courtiers and kill courtiers, so there was a phenomenon of a large number of meritorious heroes who had made meritorious contributions in the battle of reunification retreated bravely.

Gong Gai Three Emperors and Five Emperors, called the emperor, the first emperor wants absolute centralization, is the kind of absolute authority that deducts the constitution of heaven, one person can hold the world, one person can determine the life and death of the world. In fact, even if there was no centralized system, the authority of the First Emperor had already reached that point, and he just wanted to confirm it from the system.

When centralization is carried out. The rights and interests of a large number of nobles were damaged, and the ruling class of Great Qin was divided from that moment on, and it was no longer so one-minded. After that, the impact was even more, every qiē in the world belonged to the emperor, is it that there is no private property in the world, including one's own life, family, wealth, and land, are not safe?

People are wise, and people are selfish, working hard to make themselves and their families live a better life, but a qiē's efforts may come to naught at any time because of the ruler's words, so what's the use of hard work?

A thought of extreme insecurity arises. Coupled with the large-scale collection of taxes and conscription, the cornerstone of the Qin state was shaken, and the reason why no one launched a rebellion or a riot was only because of the reign of the extremely authoritative First Emperor, but the disappointment in his heart can be imagined.

A series of mistakes in the selection of national policies, the evil consequences appeared at a very rapid speed, the most direct manifestation of which was that the invincible Great Qin army "disappeared".

If history had not changed due to the appearance of Lü Zhe, the Qin State would still have lost control of the territories occupied by the Six Kingdoms at an extremely fast pace, and the Qin people would have watched indifferently when the Qin State faced the collapse of the country. It was the result of a series of wrong choices, not one or two mistakes.

Qin Di Qiantou was disappointed in the Great Qin Center, could there be anything more terrifying than this? No, if even the people under the rule are disappointed in the ruling group. The foundation of the country is already rotten.

After Fusu came to power, he tried his best to reverse the situation and restore the situation of unity under the rule of Qiantou. Unfortunately, it was extremely easy to undermine the trust of the Qianshou in the ruling class, but it was extremely difficult to regain the trust of the Qianshou in the ruling class, especially in the harsh internal and external environment that the Qin State faced. Fusu often faced a situation of weakness.

The disadvantages are often not unaware, but it is too difficult to change, and Fusu can often hear statements similar to "The rise of Han Wangzhe is a great luck in misfortune". It is nothing more than that Han Wangzhe was born in the Qin people, and if any one of the six kingdoms became the ruler of the emerging forces, the situation that the Qin State would face would definitely be worse than it is now.

"The general trend is that the people's prestige, military strength, and economy are not in me, and making calculations may be able to change the situation a little, but ...... Unless Han Wangzhe makes a fundamental mistake, the final situation cannot be changed. And this possibility ......" Lees was tempted to say "almost nothing", but did not say it.

Li Si was the court lieutenant of the Qin State during the reign of the First Emperor, and after Fusu took power, Li Si gradually broke away from the central decision-making level, and was later transferred by Fusu to Sanchuan County as the county guard, so that Li Si disappeared in the center of the Qin State for a long time.

After Xu Yan's department threw himself into Lu Zhe, Li Si actually thought about it, but when he had not made a final decision, he received an order from Xianyang and Fu Su wrote a letter to recall him.

Li Si was interrupted by Meng Yi when analyzing the situation in the world, under Li Si's step-by-step analysis, the excavation of Han Wangzhe has become unstoppable, Li Si focused on explaining some of the national policies under the governance of Lu Zhe, and gave well-founded examples to show that the hearts of the people in the world lie in Lu Han, during which he used admiration to explain about Lu Zhe's choice of interests.

The pessimistic remarks were naturally unpleasant for Meng Yi to hear, and the two fell into a quarrel later.

Meng Yi has never had such a disdainful attitude towards Li Si now, in his memory, Li Si is a talented person and a person without a position, how much Li Si was in favor of centralized power, and the name of "Emperor" is still from Li Si's mouth. Now Li Si has become a supporter of the feudal lord system, and he keeps explaining that Han Wangzhe rose because he knew how to choose and distribute interests, and talked about what the state under the feudal lord system would make the king and the lords unite to expand the territory, and what said that because the country's territorial expansion would make everyone get dividends.

Fusu's recall of Li Si was from Meng Yi's Jianyì, and Meng Yi's recall of Li Si was to borrow his talents, and it was expected that Li Si would cooperate after he returned, forming a person with the same political tendency, and working hard for the revival of Daqin. What he didn't expect was that Li Si seemed to have become a realist who accepted it, and judging by his words and tendencies, Li Si clearly believed that any resistance was against the trend of the world, an act of hitting a stone with an egg, and even an act that harmed others and himself.

"General Meng Tian's ability to lead troops is undoubted, but even if General Meng Tian leads the army east, can he really turn the situation around? It will bring the monstrous anger of Han Wangzhe. Han Wang Zhe opened and expanded the outside of the fortress is not a necessary thing, once Han Wang Zhe sent troops to Qin in anger, imagine what happened to the Baiyue clans. ”

Fusu stopped Meng Yi's potentially irrational actions, he looked at the rest of the people who had been silent, and asked, "Do you all mean the same thing?" ”

Wang Juan looked at Feng Quji, then at Kui Lin, and finally stopped at Nei Shiteng.

Kui Lin's ancestral land (which was also the land of Shu) had become the territory under the direct rule of Han Wang Zhe, and he had not expressed any opinion for a long time.

Not to mention Feng Quji, his family foundation is on the side of Longxi, and his son Feng Zao resigned from his official position as the county guard of Beidi and returned to Longxi.

Nei Shi Teng should be called Ying Teng, and he is currently one of the very few members of the royal family who are still officials in the Zhao family. Nei Shi Teng's ability is not bad, he has played well in the battle of unification, and he has recently published a lot of suggestions that are in line with the current situation. When many veteran ministers intentionally or unintentionally avoided it, Nesteng had gradually become an active important minister in the court.

Fusu also moved his gaze to Nesten, who was looking forward to giving the right opinion again.

"Nei Shi is too impulsive," the first thing Nei Shi Teng said was to blame Meng Yi, making Meng Yi's face turn pale. Afterwards, Nei Shi Teng saluted Fusu and continued: "It is also our ideal to recover Henan, and it is also what His Majesty is looking forward to, General Meng Tian should lead the army to fight, but the direction is to the north, not to the east. ”

Nei Shi Teng's so-called "Majesty" is of course not Fusu, after Fusu ascended the throne, he did not use the title of "emperor", but adopted the title of King of Qin, so before Lu Zhe did not call the emperor, the only "Majesty" in the past and present is only the first emperor.

"As the (former) court lieutenant said, now is the time to follow the trend," Neshi paused, sighed, and then emphatically said, "At least in the war with the Hu people, we should take a firm stand." ”

Naturally, many people began to recall Lu Zhe's ruthlessness towards foreign races...... (To be continued......) R1292
