Chapter 120: Meticulous Planning
In the evening, the lobby of Xingjun Mansion was brightly lit, and Zhao Xing pulled away the hand of Xu Jie who wanted to see the injury: "Hurry up, have a meeting, have a meeting."
Dozens of important officials immediately gave up the wounds of life and death on the Lord and sat upright and solemnly.
"Everyone's good days are over, we're going to fight." Zhao Xing announced excitedly as if he was injected with chicken blood. This was great news for the Zhao people.
Dozens of important officials also cheered for it.
It is good to fight. War means everyone has military merits, it means being able to gain titles, and it means being able to squeeze into the aristocratic class.
Xu Jie was even more eager to try. He wanted to be a nobleman and wanted to be crazy.
But Qi Fei frowned and felt that he was under great pressure.
The military system of Xingjun Mansion is different from other places, and it is no longer a recruitment but a regular army. Therefore, the money, grain and equipment for every war is no longer provided by the people who are recruited, but the Ministry of Revenue of Xingjun Mansion has to be released. Wars, money is spent, it hurts.
Wei Yong asked with hungry eyes: "Master, who will we fight this time?"
Zhao Xing looked at him with a wicked smile: "With your old country, Wei, I decided to withdraw your envoy of the Ministry of War now, just in case you are in a foreign country."
At that time, Wei Yong's face changed drastically: "I only know that there is a head of the family, but I don't know that there is a state of Wei. The master distrusts me so much, so I will show my ambitions." Then he directly pulled out the sword from his waist and wanted to wipe his neck.
Other officials also pulled out swords together, and wanted to wipe their necks to show their ambitions.
This is not Zhao Xing's fault, because this is too hurtful. Because all the officials of Xingjun Mansion came to various vassal states, Zhao Xing held a meeting almost equivalent to the United Nations General Assembly. He said this, killing the entire ship's people with one stroke.
When Zhao Xing saw a joke from him, he immediately turned his lobby into a slaughterhouse. He immediately jumped up and grabbed Wei Yong's hand: "Put it down, let it go, I'm just a joke, look at your embarrassment."
Xu Jie tilted his sword across his neck, eight feet away from his neck, and whimpered loudly: "You are not joking, you are Fengjun, you are following the Dharma, how can you joke around?"
"I was wrong, I won't joke anymore. Let me put it down, otherwise I will have to splash my blood. This is a very expensive robe."
Zhou Tong defended: "Although we come to various vassal states, we are firmly a minister of the king and loyal to the king. The Lord is like this, even if it is a joke, it is a shame to us. Scholars can be killed but not humiliated. Come on, everyone will continue to wipe their necks."
I have to continue to wiping my neck, so I will be done in one go. So everyone continued to use their swords to make gestures around the neck of this house, and the further they made gestures.
Originally, Zhao Xing was a little careful when he made a fuss, but he was so uncontrollable that he was really stupid at that time. He was really stupid. Apart from constantly bowing and accusing everyone, there was no other way.
Just when he was awkward, a crisp voice sounded: "Sir, don't argue with this unreliable guy. If you have any problems, who will assist my future children? Please calm down and treat me to the evening."
This is really a wife. One is the one who is in charge of two, just a word that the prince will help you to gain your loyalty, so they salute to their mistress: "We will definitely be loyal and assist you."
It was just a little tentative thought, but it turned out to be true. Zhao Xing regretted it very much. If his wife hadn't appeared to clear the situation, it would have been a big deal this time.
After taking the wife back, Zhao Xing sat up again embarrassedly and looked at the officials below nervously. It seemed that nothing had happened to everyone and began to report on Zhao Xing's work in the past six months when he was away.
The situation is very good, and it is really a prosperous political and people.
The most exciting thing was that the Ministry of Revenue Qi Fei: "The policy of family members to open up wasteland and return to their home heads is great. Not only were the 100,000 slaves resettled and rescued, but they also attracted the population of various families in China to move. At the same time, in order to grab more wasteland, they also bought slaves from outside. Three years later, according to our slave order, our population will reach 2 million in a blink of an eye."
Two million, such a population size is nothing in later generations, but in this era, it was the size of a medium-sized prince, and even the little princes had no view.
The increase in population will not only bring the foundation for creating wealth to Dai County, but also the most important thing is that it will bring a huge tax to the Ministry of Revenue of Xingjun Mansion - the capita tax, which is a regular tax. A person a year will cost 100 yuan, which is 200 million yuan.
There are also land taxes for those cultivated land, wow—
"Those domestic families set up branches in Dai County, which brought us various workshops, which made our hundreds of tools no longer short of shortages, and brought us huge taxes." In addition to being excited, he complained: "But the income is more and the expenses are more. The treasury actually has not much extra money." The meaning of this is that this war still needs to save some money.
Zhao She has never interrupted the words because now he is discussing money and food, and there is no share of him interrupted the words.
Zhou Tong also pondered and said, "If this war could be delayed for another year, it would be even better for us to rest and recuperate."
Zhao Xing shook his head: "Don't I want to? But the situation forces us, it's not a question of whether we want to fight or not." So he explained what happened in the capital to everyone.
"The king and I stabbed the hornet's nest in advance. Now the country of Zhao is incredibly chaotic and chaotic. All kinds of clowns jump out. A group of at least fifteen lords have formed an alliance to launch a rebellion that truly opposes the king. At the same time, they have sent envoys to Wei to welcome Gongzijie back to the country."
Everyone had known about Zhao State for a long time, but they didn't expect that the chaos was so great. One by one, they felt heavy again and secretly complained about the recklessness of the Lord.
"In order to allow Zhao State to achieve longer stability and achieve our grand goals, we must eliminate the forces that are dissatisfied with the monarch and are dying about the thief. We must introduce the monarch into the country to eradicate future troubles, weaken the strength of the monarch in the fiefdom, and eliminate the family armed forces in the country. Therefore, we must fight this battle as soon as possible."
Everyone here is talented and has vision. As soon as Zhao Xing explained, everyone understood and no longer opposed it and supported it again.
But when facing the old overlord, everyone was still worried. Wei Yong said bluntly: "Although Wei Wuzhu lost Wu Qi, his military skills were inherited, so the combat effectiveness of Wei State was still very terrible. The reason why Zhao State was able to retreat to the five countries to plan Zhao last time was that the master planned outside, while the people in the inner world shared the same hatred of the enemy and fought to the death to achieve the goal. But this time was different from the last time, so please ask the master to plan again."
Xu Jie also said: "Although it is a Wei State family this time, there are internal supporters who support Gongzi Jie in the country, and internal and external troubles are even more dangerous."
Zhao Xing nodded: "Doctor Wei is right. So, this time, I will discuss with the Lord. The Lord led the cavalry trained from the Orchid to deal with civil strife. I think that if the illegitimate sons in various families make trouble, the civil strife should be quickly calmed down. We will focus on dealing with the Wei army. "Then we solemnly remind: "In other words, we will deal with the Wei army independently."
As a result, as soon as this task was released, everyone was able to suck in air conditioning.
How powerful is the comparison between the lord of a country and the old allied leader?
Zhao Xing smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, we don't destroy him, Wei State, we will do it as long as we defeat him, and even if we win him, we can achieve my goal."
"What purpose?"
Zhao Xing said leisurely: "My scary identity has made me recognized by the Chinese people, but I still need to use my strength to defeat Wei and make the Chinese people afraid of me. Only in this way can I implement our reform measures in Zhao."
This is Zhao Xing's ambition.
Everyone finally understood that Zhao Xing no longer wanted to reform with his hands and feet. He wanted to implement his reform with great fanfare nationwide.
Being a reformer, it is not enough to have prestige alone. At the same time, you must have the strength to be afraid to resist.
Everyone feels infinite relief and excitement for having such a long-term vision and such meticulous work.
Just being moved and excited can't achieve the goal, it cannot defeat the army of the overlord Wei, who faces independently. It also requires strength to speak.
Everyone has seen the huge advantage of Hufu riding and shooting against combat vehicles, but he only has 20,000 half-baked army training, and may have to face the army of 100,000 or more.
You can achieve your goals by winning a battle, but you have achieved your goals, but war is the business of both sides. You think it’s over, but it’s another thing to say whether someone else can do it or not. The biggest probability is that Wei State will not do it.
The reason is that although an old overlord is already a declining old overlord, it is very embarrassing to be defeated by a prince among the princes. The overlord absolutely needs face.
At the same time, his confidant Zhongshan Kingdom was also ready to move and needed to stay troops to defend, especially now Dai County is as poor and weak as the original Dai County.
Dai County has become a piece of fat. Zhongshan is absolutely jealous when he looks at the fat meat at his mouth. In this way, he still needs to stay in a unit of army. Otherwise, it will be difficult to fight with Wei State, and as a result, the old nest will be punished, and everything will be fine.
The troops are short of strength and are in short supply.
At this time, Zhao She spoke: "Doctors, if we follow the Lord's will, as long as we fight the first battle well and leave five thousand to protect our homes, I will be competent with 15,000 soldiers. I have enough confidence in this."
Everyone is still obvious to Zhao She's ability, so of course they are not worried about the success of the first battle.
Zhou Tong: "With the ability of a general, the brave cavalry, and the Wei State would never have expected us to attack suddenly, so it should be possible to win the first battle by surprise, but what about the follow-up?"
Zhao She said calmly: "There will be a new force in the future, otherwise I will be powerless."
