Chapter 221 Mutiny

The Wuzhu system is open-minded and there will inevitably be many shortcomings. People who are capable of becoming generals and ministers need to continuously improve them in order to minimize their backlash.

However, since Wu Qi left, Wei State can be regarded as a meat eater. None of the many nobles could think of the loopholes in the Wuzhang system, and no one could focus on the reform of the entire set of economic, system, taxation, and military system.

It is inevitable that there will be a backlash now.

There are many rumors circulating in Wu stroke.

For example... Xihe Shou is now in Qin, and Wu Zu was trained by him. Since the land was robbed back by us with blood, then we don’t owe Wei Hou anything.

For example, the Qin people's military merits and title system not only ensures clear rewards and punishments, but also ensures that there is enough land to be rewarded and sufficient population to be used as a member of the country. If the Marquis of Wei cannot meet his needs, why not join Qin?

For example, in foreign wars, except for fighting with the Qin people, seizing Xihe and rewarding land, the land in Zheng was divided up by the nobles, but it was not the turn of the soldiers.

These rumors spread all day long, and some of them were obviously intentionally spread by Qin people.

Moreover, the Qin people also publicly stated that as long as these professional veterans from martial arts were willing to surrender to Qin, the original land still belonged to them.

Once the army has its own economic interests, it will have its own ideas and rely on the military meritorious scholars from the Wuzhu system to understand what the source of their strength is.

Although the Wushu was defeated in the battle of Xihe, it was a battle with the Qin people, and the Qin people suffered a lot of losses.

If he attacks the country, many martial soldiers are convinced that the soldiers under the nobles can definitely fight three of them one by one.

Pang Juan in the camp was not unclear about the emotions in the army, and the Wuzhe was generally in conflict with the army that might have to move south to fight with the Mo family.

It’s not that the martial arts are all cowards, but that there are many realistic things that the princes and nobles have no idea to solve.

They went south to fight, what should they do? What should they do if their own land might be cut off by Qin Jun? If these "small" and practical things in the eyes of nobles and princes, they just want to make the Wushu fight to the death. How can the Wushu be willing to fight?

Pang Juan was born as a nobleman and was in the Xihe Army for many years. He was different from those nobles in the court. He knew what the lower-class martial soldiers wanted and what they cared about, and also understood the fucking battle between some nobles.

Nowadays, Wei State can no longer make decisions about the affairs of Wei, and can only interfere with the princes. Whoever the princes lets go, whoever the princes can go; whoever the princes lets go, whoever they let go, whoever they can go.

As for the power of Wei State itself, it is no longer enough to fight against external enemies, and to fight another battle of inheritance rights that is independent and unaffected by external interference.

Pang Juan knew that if the Wushu, who could subdue the Western Qin Dynasty and surrender to Zhao Han, had his own will, would be afraid that the princes and nobles in the capital would be scared to death, and the princes could only wait and see.

But now, Xihe is newly defeated, and the soldiers of Qin, Zhao and Han are all nearby, and they are facing the common enemy, Si Shang Mo family, which makes the princes not allowed the Wei State to be in chaos. If you are not allowed to be in chaos, you cannot be in chaos. No prince who succeeds to the throne will be unable to sit steadily without the support of the princes, let alone rebel and seize power.

As early as a few years ago, many upstarts of military meritorious service had already begun to select people to surrender. At that time, Prince Yu was the eldest son, and the Marquis of Wei also had great expectations for Prince Yu, so most of the upstarts of Xihe participated in Prince Yu.

Pang Juan had defected to Prince Huo very early. Now he had to think about Prince Huo's future and his own.

He looked down on those old nobles, especially those with great family power. They had little ability and could not cope with the drastic changes over the past thirty years. They were so old that they could leave their bones in the tomb. They could have left their names in history books a hundred years ago, but now they are really so old that they can't bear the corruption.

But he did not support the Mohist school, because he did not oppose the system of orderly hierarchy, but he only had no chance of honor. As long as there was a channel for upwardness, he actually agreed with the orderly hierarchy.

Pang Juan felt that just like the time of Wenhou, Wu Qi, Leyang, Ximen Bao, Beimen Ke, Duan Ganmu, aren’t people of poor backgrounds? As long as the king is virtuous and gives them a chance to rise, except for those who have brain problems like Xihe Jinhuali who have to benefit the world, how many people are unwilling to do their best to assist the king?

At this time, Anyi was in chaos and Luoyi was in dispute. There were also exchanges between all parties in the camp along the river.

Pang Juan was meeting with several upstarts of military meritorious service, the confidant of Gongzi Yu, who asked about his feelings in the army and said: "Qin, Zhao and Han Qi were too impatient to force Xihe, Linqiu, and Yecheng, and all countries would be angry. It is a foregone conclusion to send troops to rebel against Mo. The soldiers in Xihe were unwilling to go south, for fear of a rebellion."

Pang Juan said: "Only those who can fight with Prince Yu, the only one is Prince Yu. I have a plan. The superior can guarantee Prince Yu to inherit the marquis, the subordinate can make the Xihe willing to fight, and the outside can make the countries oppress too much, so that the Wei State still has vitality. In the future, it may rise again."

He keenly realized that this was an opportunity to enter the core level of Wei State, and that the opportunity should not be lost. Since he had decided to surrender to Gongzi Hu, he had to make enough contributions to Gongzi Hu. Only in this way can he complete the leap from a new military meritorious service to a great clan of Wei State.

The people who came were all the confidants of Gongzi Hu. He had already had a lot of contact with him, so he naturally would not worry about the other party leaking any news.

When the other party heard this, he was very happy and asked, "Will the plan come out?"

Pang Juan said: "As the Mohist school said, to solve problems, we must analyze them."

"The root of the problem is the danger of Wei State today."

"First, the Mo family wants to turn things around, no nobles are always nobles, no nobles are always cheap, everyone is equal and the land belongs to the world. Therefore, both Qin, Qi, Han and Zhao are rebelling, while those who eat meat in Wei also rebelled. This is the main contradiction."

"In addition to the main contradiction, Wei is weak and difficult to act as the main force to resist the Mo family. Therefore, Han, Qi, Zhao and Qin sent troops to rely on Wei to provide food and grass for civil servants, and the Wei meat eaters' desire to oppose Mo is better than others, so they can force the prince of the emperor to be extremely serious."

"There is also because if the young master does not cede the land, the young master will cede it. It is difficult for the Wei people to make decisions on the affairs of the Wei State, and the princes can only decide the succession of Wei."

"The problem with Xihe Zhu is that many Xihe Zhu's land wealth is in Hexi. If Hexi is cedeed and the land is donated to the Qin people, the news came, but there was no news about how to compensate Wu Zhu's land."

"The nobles made meritorious service and rewarded 100,000 yuan in land; the military soldiers fought, but they only had hundreds of acres of land, and these fields were to be ceded, so they would inevitably be resentful."

"I just say that in the future, I will reward good fields and slaves, but one is that the Mo family is good at fighting, and the war may not be victorious, and if they cannot win, there will be no reward; the other is that the war will take several years. How will their family and wife live in these years?"

He made a brief analysis, and the people next to him nodded and said yes, thinking that it was true. If he said it clearly, it would be simple.

After hearing this, Young Master Fu's confidant took a deep breath, felt nervous, and heard what Pang Juan meant, and asked tentatively: "Are you saying... to be the young master calm?"

Pang Juan said: "The main contradiction with the Mo family must be resolved. As long as this direction remains unchanged, the princes will not oppress too much, and it can be discussed. The reason why there are too many oppressions now is because of the existence of Gongzi Yan. The king has never appointed a crown prince so far, and Gongzi Yan is also in great power, so Han, Zhao, Qi and Qin can get along well with each other."

"If the young master does not cede too much land, he will force the young master to calm down; if the young master does not cede too much, he will support the young master to cool down."

"But one thing is that the princes' alliance this time in Luoyi was not to divide Wei, but to oppose Mo. Otherwise, if they really wanted to make peace with the Mo family and divide Wei territory, how could they let the king participate in the alliance? Therefore, the division of Wei was just a threat. As long as they recognized the main contradiction, they could stand up and they could do nothing."

"However, because of the existence of Gongzi Suang, it is difficult to persist. Therefore, if you are a Gongzi Suang, you can make the situation look good."

Pang Juan's words made Prince Yu's confidant feel enlightened. After thinking deeply, he said, "You are right. If you are really planning to make peace with the Mo family and divide Wei, it is impossible for Wei to join the emperor."

Pang Juan added: "The one who fears the Mo family the most is Han, so Han has never wanted to cede land yet. He just hopes that Wei will cede land and let Qin, Qi and Zhao send troops."

"But this time, the Emperor of Luoyi Dynasty sent envoys not only Han, but Qin also sent envoys. Moreover, as soon as the battle of Xihe was settled, Qin immediately sent troops to seize Shang land, and was no longer as vigilant as Han."

"So, Han and Qin are better than dividing Wei. If Qi divides Wei, it is necessary to have Han and Qin's power. If Han and Qin do not support it, Qi will have to worry about the Mo family going north."

"Qin wanted to get the Xihe River, but what he wanted and what we could give was something we could negotiate and fight for. South Korea will also come forward to mediate to seek joint efforts to oppose Mori."

The young master agreed and breathed a sigh of relief: "The young master is confused and is forced by the princes in Luoyi, so it is hard to see clearly."

Pang Juan smiled and said, "As for the loss of Gongziyan, there are two other benefits."

"One of them can cut off the princes' intention to establish a prince."

"Secondly, the fiefdom of Prince Yan, the fiefdom of his confidant, and the fiefdom of his nobles can all be taken over to the lord."

"Some can be divided into military soldiers. If they are soldiers but not soldiers, they will be recruited to train new troops. If they are rewarded to soldiers but not soldiers, they will be followed by Gongzi Hu. Others can be divided into people and conscripted to soldiers."

The young master asked, "Who can do it? Can there be a choice for the assassinated guests?"

Pang Juan said: "There is no need to use an assassin at this time. Just spread rumors in the Wuzun army. It is said that the young master wanted to cede more land to charm Qin Qi and Zhao and become a marquis. There were many complaints in the army, and he also said that the young master had a lot of fiefs and refused to give up a little, but he would not consider that the Xihe Zhu's land was taken away by the Qin people."

"Then the young master was willing to negotiate with the Qin people, but he didn't want the young master to join the Qin people. He said that if he was a marquis, he would have to cut off the Xihe River more."

"Since there are many complaints in the army, some old men of Wushu also have power. They can secretly send someone to conspire to attack the traitors and march into Anyi. After breaking into the city, they will kill Gongzi Huan and his confidants."

"At that time, the old nobles will inevitably panic, fearing that their land will be divided by these chaotic troops, and there will be a coup that massacres the old nobles. However, we can actually control the Xihe Zhu. In other words, only the young masters can come forward to pacify the old nobles. They will also kill the young masters. They can allocate land to appease the Wu masters, and they can also shock the old nobles to change the system."
