After the New Year, it is the spring plowing season. At this time, there is generally no war between countries. Even if there is a war, it must be stopped as soon as possible and the soldiers must be withdrawn to the country to farm, otherwise there will be famine next year. Correspondingly, during this period,

This has become a time for diplomatic exchanges between envoys from various countries.

The biggest diplomatic incident was naturally the return of the Chu princess to Lord An in the autumn of the previous year. Lord An was nearly forty years old, and the princess of Chu, Fang Shaoai, exuded the freshness and vivacity of a southern girl. Lord An couldn't put it down and almost occupied her.

An Guojun. Not only An Guojun loved him, but the Queen Mother, Ranghou and Huayang Jun also loved her very much.

The Prince of Chu married the daughter of the Queen of Qin, and Lord An Guo married the daughter of the King of Chu. The Prince of Chu and the Princess of Qin also gave birth to a big baby. If nothing else happens, this baby will be the future King of Chu! After the beginning of spring, there were frequent exchanges between Qin and Chu.

It seems that the relationship between Qin and Chu is extremely close.

Since the Qin army occupied Xingqiu and Huai and extended its power into Nanyang, envoys from the three Jin Dynasties have also exchanged frequently. There are rumors that the three Jin Dynasties are coordinating actions to drive the Qin army back to Zhiguan. It is best to seal it in

Hedong.

Mr. Guo has gradually placed many informants in Hedong. This is not difficult because Hedong is still recruiting talents. Anyone who is willing to settle in Hedong will be given a first-level knighthood. Taking this opportunity, it is still very easy to arrange a few people to enter Hedong.

Convenient.

Of course, the people of the princes do not have the title of the Qin State. When they arrive in Hedong, they can only become the first-class public servants. They have 150 acres of land and a homestead of 45 steps. They can also have one person as a servant. The servant is not

Counting the registered population, there is no need to pay taxes or serve in the military.

Under Li Bing's governance, Qiuli have been built in various places in the east of Hedong. Among them, the shangzao, hairpins and Bugeng are all from the Qin State, because people from other countries cannot have these titles. The houses of the public officials are empty.

, the acres of land have also been demarcated, and the foreign population almost only needs to carry their bags and move in, and they are naturally incorporated into the army, and immediately start production labor and military training, and of course legal training.

After Mr. Guo's informant entered Hedong, the biggest difficulty was that he could not pass on the information, and it was inconvenient for the liaison officer to enter. To enter and exit Hedong, the liaison officer could only rely on his identity as a merchant, but the merchant could only communicate with local merchants, or even

When dealing with government officials and businessmen, they cannot reach ordinary farmers.

Despite all the difficulties, Mr. Guo still found out that the current Hedong Shou was Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, which was completely consistent with Hou Ying's speculation. This also made Lord Xinling's retainers take a look at Hou Yinggao.

It is not difficult to find out the governance situation in Nanyang. After the war, there were almost no obstacles in the exchanges between there and the three Jin Dynasties. The spy network in Nanyang was able to pass on reliable news: the Qin people converted low-level officers who entered Nanyang to fight on the spot into Qiulisi.

Husband, many of them were recruited from Nanyang to Hedong a few years ago. Now that they are back, it is equivalent to returning home in fine clothes, which has made their former friends envious for a while.

Qin's bureaucracy operated efficiently, and the residents of the occupied areas were quickly reorganized into Shwuchuli, the land was remeasured, and distributed according to titles. Those high-ranking families wanted to flee, but they could not bring much money with them, so they fled

Once discovered, both people and property will be lost.

Each registered resident has a name register, which is not usually used. However, if you want to go out, you must bring the name register with you, and you must have a certificate issued by Qiuli to explain the reason and time of going out. And if the residents find out

If they are found to be true, if they are foreigners, they can get a bounty of 20 taels, and if they are from Qin, they can get a bounty of 14 taels. Therefore, the fugitives are like moving mountains of gold, and are watched by countless people.

But since the Qin people only occupied a strip of Nanyang, surrounded by the lands of South Korea and Zhao, it was more convenient to escape in Nanyang compared to other areas, as long as they didn't bring too much money.

.

During spring plowing, the land has been allocated, and everyone is farming on their newly allocated land. The animal husbandry in Hedong has also developed greatly. Hundreds of cattle have been transferred directly from the Yi family and rented to farmers. But Nanyang people will use cattle to help

There is little farming, and only a few people rent oxen. But if there is profit, there will be a way. In addition to studying, paying for the help of oxen farming is also very popular in Nanyang. After all, it is a commercially developed area!

The Qin people only occupied the land of Wei, and the lands of Korea and Zhao remained as they were. Seeing that the same land as before was well cultivated, the eyes of the Han and Zhao people showed envy.

Military training is also carried out under the eyes of the Han and Zhao people. When the sowing is completed and daily field management is entered, military training must be held every ten days, and each hill is followed in turn; if there is emergency farm work, such as heavy rain, start

When there is strong wind and field management needs to be strengthened, you can pause once. When it comes to the harvest season, the Wei people's formation changes, advance, retreat, and charge are all in good shape.

The popularization of Qin law also began at the same time. County lieutenants and judges held trainings from time to time and called those with titles to the county for rotational training. At the same time, misfits, pavilion chiefs, and thieves were obliged to attend every gathering.

Explain Qin Law. Of course, every crime scene is a good opportunity for legal education. Witnessed with my own eyes the toes of my past companions, their noses cut off... Even if they just shaved off their beards or hair, they and their family members were

Now that Suo is working as a government official, everyone will cherish their current peaceful life even more.

Maybe Bai Qi, a Qin man, thought that the continuous military exercises every day had frightened the three Jins, and the three Jins did not take any action after losing Nanyang. But the actual situation was that King Zhao suddenly fell seriously ill and could not afford it.

The father of Zhao Wanghe was King Zhao Wuling, who famously promoted Hufu riding and shooting. When Zhao Wanghe was ten years old, King Zhao Wuling personally led the troops to attack Zhongshan. In order to avoid an accident and leave the country without a master, King Zhao Wuling passed the throne to Zhao Wanghe.

.But King Wuling of Zhao came back unscathed, and so did the former Prince Zhang. The adult Prince Zhang followed his father on the expedition and made great contributions; but after returning home, he had to bow to his young brother as a vassal! This scene is shocking.

It hurt the heart of King Wuling of Zhao. So the young King He of Zhao witnessed a thrilling scene: his loving father became very strict, and the eldest brother who always held his hand in the past suddenly changed his face and led troops to kill him! The final

The ending is also chilling: his brother was killed and his father was imprisoned in an empty palace and starved to death. His father did not give up until the last moment. He ate rats, cockroaches, ants... everything that could satisfy his hunger.

He died, and he firmly believed that as long as he lived, someone would come to rescue him. He did not believe that he would fall into the situation of betraying his relatives... However, no one came. All the efforts of King Zhao Wuling only prolonged his pain and did not change the result. 1

More than a hundred days later, King Wuling of Zhao died in the sand dunes. There, King Zhou of Shang had built a wine pond and meat forest, which was extremely luxurious. At that time, King Zhao was only fourteen years old.

We don’t know how King Zhao was feeling at that time. In the following years, the people in Zhao’s government were all close relatives and powerful officials, such as Li Dui, Gong Zicheng and others. In the next ten years, there was Le Yi, whom we are familiar with.

Lian Po, Lin Xiangru, Pingyuan Jun, Zhao She, etc. were a group of virtuous ministers and generals. Moreover, it is said that Zhao Wanghe was also a fencing enthusiast and often held fencing competitions in the palace. Every year, more than a hundred swordsmen died due to fencing.

I always carry a sword, and from time to time I will pull it out to spar with others, so my martial arts skills should still be good.

In the fifteenth year of King Zhao's reign, a major event occurred when the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, and Qi was almost destroyed. However, Queen Zhao was the daughter of the Queen of Qi. I don't know whether she married her before or after the conquest of Qi. The queen gave birth to her eldest son Danyu.

He was established as the crown prince in the 22nd year. Before this, there seems to have been a crown prince in Zhao State, who may have been born to the previous queen. He later died or was deposed, and there is no trace in history.

The battle between Yan and Yu four years ago (twenty-nine years ago) left a deep shadow on King Zhao's psychology. The Qin army suddenly appeared outside Handan City, but Zhao was helpless, relying on Zhao She's delaying tactics and a few points.

Due to luck, it was only a month later that the defense force was barely organized; and the reason why Zhao She's army formed an army was a complete accident, and it was a mistake!

From then on, King Zhao focused all his energy on how to prevent this situation from happening again. First, he emphasized the victory of the battle between Yan Yu and boosted the morale of the whole country; Zhao She, the commander of Zhao She who captured Yan Yu, was given high honors.

Because of his status, he named Ma Fujun and handed over the entire Wu'an to his management. King Zhao also strengthened diplomacy with South Korea, trying to ensure that the party would not lose.

Transforming and strengthening Handan is naturally the key point. Handan City has a dual-city structure, with the commercial city in the north and the royal city in the south. In the past, Zhao State focused on the royal city and did not pay enough attention to the northern city where the common people lived. Now, King Zhao wants to

To make up for this shortcoming, Handan spent the entire four years building a city or preparing to build a city.

When the New Year came, Handan City had been fortified and fortified, and King Zhao felt relieved. After a night of celebrating with his ministers, the royal daughter went to bed, and the next day she was found to have had a stroke in bed. After some medicine and acupuncture, King Zhao woke up.

, but her speech has become unclear, and it is difficult to move one limb, which has become a disease of partial atrophy. The queen and the prince wait in front of the bed every day, directing the concubines to serve; the prince goes back and forth in the front and back halls, communicating between the king and the ministers.

The king's two younger brothers, Pingyuan Junsheng and Pingyang Junbao, took turns on duty in the front hall. Therefore, when the king of Wei sent envoys to Zhao later that year, he could only see Zhao Xiang Pingyuan Jun and auxiliary minister Pingyang Jun, but not Zhao.

King. But King Zhao obviously had no intention of causing trouble anymore. He was content to keep Handan safe as long as he wanted to fight with Qin for Nanyang.

Without the support of Zhao, the military power of Wei and Han alone was unable to confront Qin and recover Nanyang. A major event was delayed like this.
