It has to be said that this kind of victory and defeat in each battle has a lot to do with the ruling Si Ziyang.

As the earliest reform, the earliest written law was written, the earliest civil law spontaneously replaced the official law, and the first country where village schools discussed politics was once very chaotic.

After Zichan died, Zheng State's successor reformed Zichan's policy, and the seven Muslims fought for power and profit, and could not rest.

After years of political struggle, Siziyang and his group gained ruling status with nearly one-fifth of Zheng's fiefdom.

His political enemies gathered in the Dazai faction headed by Dazai Xin.

Zheng Jun in the cracks could only take advantage of the conflicts between the nobles and survived in difficulty and tragic. Although he would not become a mascot of the nobles like the Duke of Qi, he still did not have much power.

Si Ziyang has too much power, so Zheng Jun had to form a faction with Dazai Xin and others.

Si Ziyang was powerful and had ambitions. Because he was close to the Three Jin Dynasties, he knew the importance of reform.

The family ascended the throne when Han Wuzi killed Duke You of Zheng. After taking office, they took advantage of their fiefdom and carried out a series of changes with the legitimate legal tradition of Zheng State.

Later generations once recorded that: A son is masculine and resolute and likes to punish him, but he is punished without mercy.

He was considered an early Legalist figure. Although Zichan used too much emphasis when he was in power, Zichan was well aware of the "art of opening and opening and opening", so he did not blindly use the method of emphasis, but was moderately relaxed and opened and opened, and the people believed it.

But Si Ziyang only learned the important method, but did not learn the essence of it. In addition, this change could not not touch the interests of the nobles.

Zheng State had the tradition of aristocrats inciting coups among the people. In the end, Si Ziyang also died in an incited coup. The people were angry and killed. Zheng State was divided and eventually perished.

Zheng State has laws and written laws, and even this written laws are not officially drafted.

When Zichan was in power, Deng Xi used his clever defense skills to help the Chinese people sue, and wrote a book called "Bamboo Punishment" in his spare time.

Although Zheng State has a Criminal Cauldron, it is very heavy after all, and few people know about it.

Deng Xi's "Bamboo Execution" was widely circulated, so that everyone in Zheng knew that there was "Bamboo Execution" but not "Ding Execution".

In the end, Deng Xi was killed, but the widely circulated "Bamboo Punishment" also became a written law in Zheng State.

After Si Ziyang came to power, he used the widely circulated "Bamboo Execution" to change some laws, thus becoming more stringent, and thus reformed them.

However, Zheng is not Qin, and he does not have such a good geographical location. He is surrounded by big countries. Just like Song, the more he has the heart to be a big country, the more he dies miserably.

But now it seems that the reform has been slightly effective. After the rigorous reforms, Zheng defeated South Korea twice, which is a revival of the hatred that killed Yougong.

A few days ago, when Qin Huali visited Zheng, Si Ziyang was extremely welcome.

On the one hand, it was because the Mo family had done a great thing in Shangqiu, and the world was shocked, and the Mo family had already faintly shown that the kings of Yu Xiaoguo were in a row to compete.

Second, Si Ziyang has ambitions and ambitions, so he neither approached Jin nor Chu. Instead, he always wanted to maintain the independence of Zheng State, hoping that Zheng State would become strong after years of reforms.

His ruler, or his family, may also replace the Zheng Jun and ascend to the throne.

Therefore, he did not want any major power to interfere in Zheng's internal affairs, but he was good at using the contradictions between major powers to gain more benefits for Zheng's country.

The Siziyang group absolutely supported the Central Plains' cessation of war conveyed by Mozi during the Qinhuali period, and his party members were closely related. Zheng Jun and Dazai Xin needed to work together to suppress Siziyang's power.

In this matter, the Zheng people, who had been tortured for a long time, abandoned their resentment towards Si Ziyang because of the punishment and supported the Mibian Association.

Because the exchanges between Qin Huali and Zheng Jun and the ruling Si Ziyang in Zheng State were pleasant, Si Ziyang said that as long as the Three Jins agreed to stop the war, Zheng State would definitely participate.

He is also willing to give up his hatred with South Korea and temporarily truce with the Koreans, and also prepares for the successful reform of Zheng State's rehabilitation.

The promise made by the Mohist family was that if Zheng State was willing to participate in the resurgence of war, then if it was attacked by South Korea again, the Mohist family would send people to help defend the city.

At the same time, the promise made by the King of Chu for the Suppression Association was also conveyed: If the Three Jins come to attack, the Chu people will go north to rescue, and the Emperor of Heaven will learn from the ghosts and gods!

Although Zheng State won against Han and lost to Huo and Huangchi in several wars, Zheng State also suffered a lot of losses. The Three Jins have always worked together, and it is impossible for them to really threaten South Korea. If it really threatens South Korea, Wei State will definitely send troops and will not be able to stop them at that time.

It’s just that it’s hard to get rid of the tiger. Nowadays, many people in Zheng are vengeful. How can they say that killing a king of a country is a shame.

Especially Si Ziyang became ruler based on this reason, with the idea of ​​starting a war against South Korea, but he knew that he could not continue to fight.

Although the Koreans suffered great losses in several major wars, South Korea is vast, so where can Zheng Guo compare?

As long as he fails once, Zheng State will be overthrown and his rule will inevitably be overthrown.

Even if they were not killed by the Koreans, domestic opposition factions, Dazai Xin, Jung Jun, etc., would find opportunities to attack.

Hate is just a reason to come to power.

Hatred is no longer important after taking office.

When Si Ziyang was worried about how to end the dispute between Han and Zheng, the news of the Mo family's battle in Shangqiu immediately excited him.

Stop the war!

This is the best reason.

Mohist school, this is the best publicity.

Moreover, once the war is successful, the reform of Zheng State can continue to be carried out.

Si Ziyang monopolized the power and had many fiefs. As one rose and the other fell, twenty years of peace meant that his family would completely replace the Zheng Jun family and become the real master of Zheng State.

As for now, we still need to use hatred against South Korea to gather support from the people and carry out various changes: those who oppose the changes are standing on the side of the Koreans and being the mortal enemy of the Zheng people. Under such reasons, the other nobles dare not move for the time being.

Zheng State could no longer fight, and Si Ziyang did not dare to fight again, but he came to power because of inciting hatred and he could not directly cease the war.

The Bird's Slim and Li's Debate is also strong, and the Mohist and Shangqiu battle was as the confidence, and the King of Chu was backed by the First Alliance. After a brief introduction to various conditions, Zheng was shocked and they were all willing to stop the war in order to change the iron and agricultural tools.

According to the analysis of Qin Huali, Si Ziyang believed in the Mo family's judgment and believed that the Three Jin Dynasties would definitely participate in the Suppression this time.

Because the Mo family only defeated the King of Chu in Shangqiu City but did not annihilate the Chu army, the Chu people were still powerful, and the Chu county dukes in Yuguan, Daliang and other places had a large number of troops. They did not participate in the siege of Song and were always guarding against the Three Jins going south.

Sizi Yang was proud and felt that the Mo family had created an excellent opportunity for their family.

But I didn't expect that shortly after Qin Huali left, news came from the south.

When the King of Chu was assassinated, the prince suspected of ascending the throne, and the prince decided to flee to Zheng.

After all, Wang Ziding's mother is the daughter of Zheng Bo, and this is the authentic nephew-uncle relationship, and Zheng Guo always wants to express his opinion.

After the prince ran to Zheng a few days ago, he immediately sent people to the Three Jins, hoping that the Three Jins could send troops to escort him back to the country to ascend the throne.

The feud of Jin and Chu was more important than the prince.

Everything can be discussed. Even if the Chu State is weakened and the interests of Chu State are betrayed, he, as the prince of Chu, can do it, as long as he can return to the country and ascend the throne.

Because at this time, the Chu State was not the Chu State that he was determined by Xiong, but the Chu State that his brother Xiong suspected, so the Chu State that he sold at this time was not the Chu State that he was his own, so he would not feel heartbroken when he sold it - if he had lost his own things, how could it be considered a loss?

With all kinds of temptations, Si Ziyang knew that the incident of the military meeting that Qin Huali mentioned a few days ago was impossible.

The Three Jin Dynasty could not miss this opportunity, and the resolution of war has become a bubble.

The Zheng people must make a statement, and it is obvious that there is only one way to go: send troops to escort the prince into Chu in exchange for sufficient benefits: Yu Pass, Qi Feng, Zhong Mu, Daliang!

If you can obtain these four towns, not only can Zheng State increase its strength, but also Si Ziyang can occupy these places as his fiefdoms, thus making his power stronger.

As for neutrality?

This is no longer possible. Zheng State's position is much worse than that of Song State.

When Jin and Chu compete for hegemony, they had to siege Song, because Song was on the flanks and had to ensure the neutrality and closeness of Song, but it was useless to the entire battle situation.

When Jin and Chu compete for hegemony, they will definitely fight against Zheng. Because Zheng is in the center, they can directly threaten the Nanyang Basin, the center of Chu.

If the square city is destroyed, the State of Chu will be in danger.

Zheng State can only stand on the side, not neutral, and there is only one choice to stand on the side: work with the Three Jins to join the Prince's Decision.

In-law relationships are only one aspect, and promises of interests are also one aspect. After all, if your nephew does not support it, it will always be unreasonable.

Moreover, if Zheng State continues to choose to make a good relationship with Chu, the three Jins, who finally seize the opportunity to fight against Chu, will be the first to attack Zheng State.

Originally, it was just Zheng and Han's fight, and the Wei people did not participate, but if they did not support Wang Ziding and Wei and Han's joint efforts, the Zheng people would not be able to stop it.

Neutrality is just a joke when such a big thing happened in the Chu State.

The balance of power has been broken, and the jubilant dream of stopping war a few days ago is now a joke.

Since it has become a joke, we cannot have any fantasies. Si Ziyang is such a person.

And in addition to this, Si Ziyang has greater ambitions.

The Three Jins competed for hegemony with Chu and entered Prince Ding. If the nobles who supported Prince Ding gathered to respond, the Three Jins would be able to break through the Great Wall and enter the hinterland of Chu.

The hinterland of Chu State was not Zheng State or his interests, and he could not defend even if he got it.

Therefore, before the Three Jins reacted, they must take the lead in declaring war on Chu, and in the name of entering the prince, they must go to Wuyang Yu Pass before the Three Jins send troops. It would be even better if they could have Zhongmu, Daliang, Qifeng and other cities.

If you take these, you don’t need to go deeper into Chu. Instead, you will take advantage of the opportunity of Jin and Chu fighting to stab South Korea again!

Si Ziyang calculated that it took time for the prince to seek the three Jin Dynasty, and it took time for the three Jin Dynasty to integrate and fight to send troops. He had about a year to fulfill his ambitions:

The land in the east of Chu State such as Yuguan was captured within a year. After the Three Jins sent troops a year, Zheng State shook the flag and shouted but did not send troops. Anyway, Zheng State did not send troops to weaken Chu State, and the Three Jins would definitely send troops to weaken Chu State. At that time, seize the opportunity to attack South Korea.

I am afraid that the Wei people will not stand with the Chu people for the sake of Zheng people by then, and they can only admit that this is a personal grudge between Zheng and Han countries and will not interfere.

By then, he won the Dayi of Chu as his fiefdom and captured the border city of Han and promoted internally that he had regained the revenge of Han Wuzi's killing of Zheng Gong. Wouldn't Zheng State be his Siziyang?
