Chapter 45: Zheng Guoce (1)
The various princes seem to have strong power, but their weaknesses are actually very obvious.
They do not have and cannot have a common ideal, nor do they have a spirit of sacrifice for this common ideal. The so-called etiquette and law system are nothing more than tools and means of rule.
They would not devote themselves to this ideal, but they could serve as a small noble and scholar class.
This is the basis for the disintegration of aristocratic contradictions by Si Shang.
The disintegration of the Three Jin Alliance originated in geopolitical terms from Zheng and Zhongshan.
As long as Zhongshan restores the country, Wei will not be surrounded by Zhao on three sides, and Zhao can get rid of Wei's control.
As long as Zheng State is swallowed by Han, the buffer between Wei and Han will disappear, and the conflict between Wei and Han will be just around the corner.
Five years ago, Wei and Zhao turned against each other, it seemed that Wei State interfered in the civil war of inheritance rights of Zhao State. In fact, today's turn against each other may not be unable to make peace tomorrow.
However, because Zhongshan Jun restored the country, Zhao State completely got rid of the three-sided siege of Wei State. For Zhao State, Wei State was just an obstacle to the south and a competitor. If necessary, it could even join forces with Chu State to attack Wei State.
This time, the collapse of the Wei-Han alliance also wanted to take advantage of Zheng State.
In history, South Korea destroyed Zheng by using a blitzkrieg, and destroyed Zheng on five days. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Wei and Chu fighting the Wei Alliance, the Korean army crossed the river overnight and rushed directly to the capital of Zheng, which had no defense. With careful internal assistance, Zheng was quickly destroyed.
Originally, in that year in history, Wei and Zhao had turned against each other, and even Zhao and Chu joined forces to attack Wei State together. Zhao and Han interfered in the civil war of inheritance rights of Wei State shortly afterwards.
At that time, Wei State urgently needed South Korea's support, and South Korea also took this view and used the reason why "I don't hit you, it's the greatest support for you" to blitzkrieg Zheng State, which made Wei State pinch its nose and admit that South Korea's occupation of Zheng State.
Since Korea can do the fifteenth day of the dynasty, I naturally feel that I can do the first year of junior high school.
Zheng State had no interest in the Mo family for the time being, but could instigate the conflict between Wei and Han and Han and Chu.
Zhongshan Kingdom had restored its country five years ago. If Zheng Kingdom was annexed by South Korea, there would never be a Three Jin Alliance in the world.
Because of the morality of the Mohist school, it is impossible to engage in a naked plot with Han Pengcheng or Yangdi, and at the cost of acquiesceing South Korea to annex Zheng State, the South Korea did not participate in the possible interference of Wei, Chu and Han in the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, this requires a reverse pressure method.
How to force him is naturally to make South Korea feel that the Mohist family might strongly assist Zheng State, which makes the late annexation pressure more, and forces him to take action earlier.
Because Zheng State is meaningless to Si Shang at this time, we must make great efforts to provide strong assistance to Zheng State.
Because Si Shang made a strong aid to Zheng State, South Korea must take action to annex Zheng State in advance.
The Zheng State, which seemed to be aided by Si Shang, suffered a great loss, but in fact it made a big profit, which was equivalent to using a short check to dismantle the Wei-Han alliance and destroy the possibility of the Three Kingdoms alliance in which Song State interfered in the war.
But even if it is a blank check, it will cost a piece of paper. This piece of paper is the envoys sent to Zheng State this time, some of the weapons they brought, and follow-up negotiations on continuing aid.
As long as South Korea takes advantage of the chaos to swallow Zheng, the alliance between Wei, Chu and Han will be missing from the Han side. Only Wei, who is worried about being stabbed by Qin's back, and Chu, who is worried about being suffocated by domestic centralized reforms, will be much better.
If the Wei, Chu and Han cannot join forces, Qi will inevitably continue to remain neutral and dare not speak. Wei, Han, Qi and Chu can only shout slogans to express condemnation, and Yue will also be content with oneself.
Being able to avoid the interference of the Song State in war by using diplomatic mediation can win a few more years for Si Shang and make comprehensive preparations for war.
Moreover, if possible, it may also trigger conflicts between Wei and Han in advance. If a civil war between the Three Jin Dynasties can be provoked, it will be more beneficial in the future.
…………
After the month.
Zheng Du.
The Siziyang Rebellion nearly twenty years ago has completely destroyed Zheng State. Zheng State, which once dominated and shot an arrow from the Zhou emperor, now only has about one-third of its territory twenty years ago.
After Si Ziyang's death, various places were divided and Qi Mu became independent. Si Ziyang's remnants eventually killed Duke Zheng and supported Yi, the descendant of Duke You who was killed by Han Hou, to be the king.
The several battles between Wei and Chu surrounding Daliang, Yuguan, and Chen and Cai finally won a chance to breathe for Zheng State.
The reason why Si Ziyang came to power was because of Zheng and Han's blood feud, so his foreign policy was always to be tough on Han and Wei Fengying.
Wei State was happy to do this, and Wei State did not want South Korea to become bigger, and he wanted Zheng State to fight with South Korea all day long.
The legal power of the rule of Siziyang's gangs also relies on the blood feud of the Zheng and Han Gong clan. Whoever opposes the war against Han is rebellious, thus maintaining the unity under the high pressure of Zheng State.
In order to make good things about Wei, Si Ziyang used the power of Wei to destroy Chu Han and take over the Chu prince to escape, which made Zheng and Chu very bad.
Si Ziyang had ambitions, but the mistake was that he overestimated the national strength of Zheng: Indeed, Zheng was considered a country with relatively early reforms. Relying on the people's reunion in the early stages of the reforms, he made a big move and beat South Korea several times.
However, as all countries began to reform, the national strength that was high because of the reform first was quickly rehabilitated. Zheng State could not be considered a self-destruction, but could only be regarded as a desperate attempt in troubled times, but just a loss.
If Han took advantage of the battle between Wei and Chu, the Han Dynasty sent troops to attack Luyang to capture the capital of South Korea in one fell swoop, there might not be a turning point. Moreover, Si Ziyang could also take advantage of this "revenge" to completely defeat the other six families of Qi Mu and completely control the state of Zheng.
However, man's plan is not as good as God's plan. When Zheng State raided South Korea and besieged Handu, Han Hou died. Wei attacked Luyang Niu Lan, who was defending, and had to retreat, making the Mo family famous, but Zheng State for no reason, added another hatred to force Han Hou to death.
Now Fu Shu defected and returned to South Korea. South Korea has a bridgehead in Yingshui. As long as South Korea is willing, it can reach the capital of Zheng State in two days by marching in two days.
After all, it is less than a hundred miles away from Dengfeng to Xinzheng.
Song and Zheng were considered to be the same disease. The ancestors were both rich and now they are trapped in the big country. After the news of the Song coup came, Zheng was the most nervous one.
It is not nervous about the result of the coup in Song State, nor about the spread of the trend of equality and freedom. What the rulers of Zheng State are nervous about the re-ease of relations between Wei and Han.
Every time Wei needs help from South Korea, he will use Zheng's territory as a reward. This has been a year or two, and it has been like this.
