Chapter 249 The best candidate for peace talks(1/3)
At the same time, Chu Ge is also exploring the possibility of passing the new identity.
After some previous operations, he was assigned to Wan Yanchang, a clan general of the Jin people.
He was a cousin of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom at that time. He participated in the founding of the Jin Kingdom and the Jingping Revolution. It can be said that he was a truly powerful figure in the Jin Kingdom at this time, although his status was lower than that of Wanyan, who single-handedly created the Jingping Revolution.
Sheng is slightly lower, but it is not completely incompetent.
Chu Ge was quite familiar with the internal situation of the Jin Kingdom at this time.
Although the Jin Kingdom had been established at this time, its political system was obviously completely different from that of the Qi Dynasty. It still retained many of the previous systems. In short, it was more like a tribal military-democratic regime.
Compared with the emperor of Qi Dynasty, the emperor's power was far different.
And more power was actually shared by many military nobles, who jointly governed the entire Jin Kingdom.
For example, there are records saying that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty stole money from the treasury to buy wine. As a result, the military nobles headed by Wan Yansheng dragged him off the throne and beat him with twenty military sticks.
This sounded like a fantasy in the Qi Dynasty, but in the political system of the Jin Kingdom at that time, it was a very normal phenomenon.
This political system naturally has advantages and disadvantages.
In the early days of the founding of the Jin Kingdom, each of these military nobles had extremely strong military talents, combat effectiveness and pioneering spirit. Therefore, in the process of establishing the Jin Kingdom and attacking the Song Dynasty, they almost won every battle, and often defeated more with less.
achievements.
Under the leadership of these people, the group of veterans who had fought many battles when the Jin people first founded their country also had a strong fighting spirit and were proud to be the first to charge when attacking cities and territories.
But as the Jin Kingdom continued to develop, this political system began to expose its shortcomings.
First of all, there were many factions within the Jin Kingdom, and the struggles were serious. And because the Jin people retained many barbaric habits, such struggles were often very brutal, and large-scale massacres often broke out on both sides.
Secondly, as the first batch of military nobles and veterans of hundreds of battles died or aged, the subsequent military noble groups actually turned into blood-sucking insects lying on the Jin Kingdom, and their combat power declined rapidly.
Then, as General Han Fuyue was unjustly killed, the Qi Dynasty used traitorous methods to reach peace with the Jin people.
But soon, with the rise of the Northern Barbarians, Wanyan Hailing, the then gold lord, felt threatened and began to promote reforms internally and actively launched a war to destroy Qi externally, hoping to restore the combat effectiveness of the Jin people and rely on the power of the Qi Dynasty.
Huge strategic depth to prepare for the future fight against the Northern Barbarians.
However, with the failure of the Battle of Niuzhuji and the death of Wanyan Hailing, his reforms were naturally overturned. The Jin Kingdom continued to be corrupted in this way, and was destroyed by the Northern Barbarians not long after.
…
After sorting out these things, Chu Ge roughly understood his situation at this time.
Wan Yanchang was a powerful figure among the Jin people at this time. In history, he was the main peacemaker within the Jin people.
Wan Yanchang had a lot of energy and voice at this time, but he has been suppressed by Wan Yansheng, the main militant faction.
Wanyan Sheng hoped to continuously attack the Qi Dynasty and expand the territory of the Jin Kingdom. This also represented the opinions of other main war factions in the Jin Kingdom.
After all, these military nobles only think about robbing money, robbing people, and robbing food.
But Wan Yanchang belongs to a relatively heterogeneous group of Jin people.
He saw that the Qi Dynasty still had huge war potential, and he also saw that the Jin Kingdom could hardly attack most of the Qi Dynasty's fortified cities with its own strength. He also saw that the northern land of the Qi Dynasty that the Jin Kingdom had swallowed up could not be fully digested to this day.
Indirect rule can only be achieved by supporting puppet forces.
Wan Yanchang believed that to forcefully attack the Qi Dynasty under such circumstances was an act with more risks than benefits.
Obviously, being a prisoner and assigned to serve as a staff member under Wan Yanchang was the best path for officials of the Qi Dynasty at that time.
Because to the main war faction, what use are these Qi officials?
Although the Jin people had just founded the country at this time, they were undergoing a large number of cultural transformations from the Qi Dynasty. These officials were all educated people who had read poetry and passed the imperial examination, and they could play a big role in this process.
But in the eyes of the warring faction, no matter how educated these Qi officials were, they were just some kind of high-level teachers.
To put it bluntly, a direct interest relationship is still needed!
The Jin generals of the main fighting faction were only thinking about how to continue attacking the Qi Dynasty and continue to grab more things.
What kind of help can the officials of the Qi Dynasty give them? Should they direct them to march or direct them to fight?
Isn't that funny?
But if it is the peace faction, then the officials of the Qi Dynasty can do more operations.
…
Soon, Chu Ge met Wan Yanchang and had a long talk with him.
Wan Yanchang did not look any different from the other Jurchens in appearance, but after an in-depth conversation, he told Li Hao, the censor, Zhongcheng, a lot about his experiences and political ideals.
He was also a powerful general among the Jin people, but in the process of fighting against the Jin Kingdom in these years, he fought many vicious battles.
Different from the initial overwhelming offensive when Wan Yansheng led his troops to invade the Qi Dynasty, as the war between the two sides continued to be intense, the Qi Dynasty's war potential had been activated.
In just two or three years after the Jingping Incident, the Qi Dynasty began to emerge with a number of outstanding generals and capable soldiers. The Jin people's offensive could not be as devastating as before, but suffered frequent setbacks;
The Northland captured by the Jin people has not been fully digested for a long time, and uprisings broke out frequently. They can only rely on supporting the puppet regime to achieve indirect rule;
Moreover, there are many factions within the Jin people, who are at odds with each other and full of contradictions...
And these turned Wan Yanchang into a staunch advocate of peace.
He grabbed the hand of the imperial censor, Zhongcheng Li Hao, and said with emotion: "Our two countries cannot continue to fight like this!
"The two countries have been fighting for years, and they have been fighting for two or three years, and in the future, they may have to fight for more than ten years! When will the days of wasted national power and ruined lives end?
"So, I hope to work with you, sir, to promote peace talks between the two countries and save the people of the two countries from suffering!"
For ordinary people, it may be considered a very touching thing that a dignified nobleman of the Jin Kingdom could be so confidant and so close to a Qi Dynasty official who was called a staff officer but was actually a prisoner.
Chu Ge also pretended to be moved, and at the same time asked calmly: "So, what can I do?"
Wan Yanchang continued: "It's very simple. I hope that sir can return to the Qi Dynasty and work with me to complete the great cause of peace talks between the two countries!"
Chu Ge remained calm: "Oh? Then when are you going to let me go back?"
Wan Yanchang smiled meaningfully: "Of course, we will have to wait until sir really figures it out."
After saying that, Wan Yanchang turned and left.
It's just that although he said he wanted to let Chu Ge go back to the Qi Dynasty, he didn't take any action after that.
Everything seems to be back to square one.
…
…
Another day has passed.
On the forum, players began to have heated discussions about the plot of the second phase.
As for Chu Ge, he immediately consulted historical materials to find out the details of this period of history.
In fact, he had already had a vague guess before, but after consulting historical data, this guess was like a big stone that finally fell to the ground.
"Sure enough, Qin Huizhi is actually myself..."
Chu Ge had a little breakdown.
He seemed to understand why this identity was the least difficult.
Isn't it the lowest level of difficulty to betray one's country and seek glory?
Although it was still far away from clearing this dungeon at this time, Chu Ge could already guess the general design intention of this dungeon through the arrangement of the dungeon.
In the first stage, although players can choose different identities, in general, these identities have one thing in common, that is, their status is very low.
The soldier player is a soldier in the pacification army; the assassin player is an ordinary green forester in Cenqiaoyi; the ranger player is also a wandering green forester who wants to save a small village; although the scribe player is a third-level censor Zhongcheng,
In the capital, a place where princes and governors are everywhere, the real role of the third-grade sense organs is still minimal.
Therefore, in the copy of "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon", the goal of the players in the first stage is to use these very low identities to make changes in these worlds as much as possible.
And in this process, they will inevitably feel the powerlessness of a small person in the face of the overwhelming trend.
For example, assassin players, no matter how superb their assassination skills are, it is almost impossible to find an opportunity to assassinate Wan Yansheng in the military formation. At most, they can assassinate a few low-level Jinren officers to maximize the destructive power of this catastrophe.
, weakened slightly.
Of course, players can also cooperate with each other, or perform cool operations such as assassinating the emperor, but overall, the tone of the first stage is that the mantis is trying to control the situation.
Faced with the rolling wheel of history, little people try their best to make it roll slower.
In the second stage, the players' identities have been improved as a whole, becoming the three most important identities in this dungeon.
The first type is naturally generals like General Han Fuyue who can really train troops and fight, leading people to fight against the Jin soldiers and regain lost ground. They should be the ones who can really stop the wheels of war from rolling forward in this chaotic era and save all people from misery.
people.
It is this route that Zhao Haiping is exploring.
The difficulty of this possibility ranks in the middle among the three difficulties. Because under the current situation, being able to fight and win the war does have a certain degree of difficulty, but if you only consider this one thing, the difficulty is still high.
Acceptable.
The second type is the route that Prince Fan Cun is trying.
The difficulty of the prince is the highest, because there is no general Han Fuyue in this clue, which also means that the player cannot just leave it alone. If there is a war, he must fight it himself.
To be continued...
