The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

The news that the Wei general Gongsun Cuo's army was completely annihilated by Sun Bin at Jiqiu and Tian Pan made a roundabout attack on the Zhao army's rear and defeated the Zhao army spread all over the world in an instant. All countries in the world were amazed at Sun Bin's high strategy and Tian Pan's military formation.

Linzi, Qi

Duke Tian Yinqi of Qi personally welcomed Tian Ji and Tian Pan outside the city. Tian Yinqi personally helped Sun Bin get off the carriage and bowed, saying: "Mr. Sun Bin, thanks to your strategy, our Qi can be proud of defeating both Wei and Zhao. Let's see which country in the world dares to look down on our Qi!"

Tian Yinqi also praised Tian Pan, saying: "Panzi is also a master in military tactics. Since he was able to defeat the Zhao army with a small force, he is really a good general of mine!"

Tian Yinqi said again: "Everyone, please follow me into the city. Mr. Sun Bin, please ride with me?"

Sun Bin nodded in agreement.

In the court

Tian Yinqi greatly rewarded Tian Ji, Tian Pan and Sun Bin, and then said: "Thanks to Mr. Sun Bin's strategy, our Qi State not only defeated Wei and Zhao, but also recovered Pinglu. This is also the merit of the military advisor. I reward Mr. Sun Bin with 1,000 gold and 5,000 acres of land, General Tian Ji with 800 gold and 3,000 acres of land, and General Panzi with 600 gold and 3,000 acres of land."

The three shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers below were envious and jealous, staring at Tian Ji and the other two, wishing that this reward was for themselves.

Tian Yinqi said again: "Everyone, what should our Qi do after this?"

Zou Ji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this victory is mainly luck. The gap between our Qi and Wei is still very large. Wei became the strongest country in the world because of two reforms, and Chu dominated one side because of Wu Qi's reform. Therefore, Qi needs to reform if it wants to be strong!"

Tian Yinqi nodded and said: "What the prime minister said is very true, so how to reform?"

Zou Ji said: "I have six strategies for reform. The first strategy is to establish a policy of "opening up the channels for speech", allowing the people to provide you with opinions and give rewards; the second strategy is to revise the decrees and supervise officials, and those who are corrupt and do not do anything will be punished with death; the third strategy is to select talents, talents are the treasure of a country, and talents make the country strong; the fourth strategy is to encourage the people to reclaim wasteland, abolish the well field and implement private fields, and from this year on, the land reclaimed The land is exempted from tax for two years; the fifth strategy is to develop commerce, confiscate all the mineral deposits and salt ponds that the nobles mined without the permission of the state, lower tariffs, and the right to mint coins belongs to the state. If a private person mints coins, three clans will be punished! The sixth strategy is to train elite soldiers and then train martial arts warriors. These six strategies will surely make Qi rich and strong! " Tian Yinqi was delighted after hearing this and said, "Okay, let's do as the prime minister said! Those who can point out my mistakes to my face will receive the highest reward; those who write to remonstrate with me will receive the middle reward; those who can slander and criticize me in the market and hear my ears will receive the lowest reward. " Zou Ji said again: "Now my Qi has been implementing the five-city system, and all five cities have returned. Therefore, I think people with noble virtues should be sent to serve as doctors. I recommend Tanzi, Qianfu, Tianying, Panzi (i.e. Tian Pan), and Zhongshou. Tanzi is the doctor of Jucheng. Tanzi is good at military tactics and is loyal and can take on this position. Qian is recommended to be the doctor of Jucheng.Fu guards Xuzhou, Qianfu is upright and can take this position, Panzi is Gaotang official, Panzi has a good strategy and can take this position, Tianying is Pinglu official, Tianying is kind and generous and can take this position, Zhongshou is Jimo official, Zhongshou hates evil and loves the people and can take this position. "

After hearing this, Tian Yinqi nodded and said, "I agree!"

Han Dynasty Hall

Han Hou Han Wu said to all the ministers, "Everyone, my Han captured five cities of Chen State, all thanks to the merits of Zhang Kaidi and General Kong Ye. I want to give Zhang Kaidi and General Kong Ye 500 gold and 50 pieces of silk each."

Zhang Kaidi and Kong Ye shouted, "Thank you, my lord! ”

Han Wu said again: "Everyone, Wei has annexed Wei, but was ambushed by Qi in Jiqiu, Song, and the 60,000-strong army was wiped out. Where should the world go?"

Prime Minister Shen Buhai stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is a great change in the world, and our Han must seize the opportunity. I think we should carry out a thorough reform!"

After hearing this, Han Wu asked: "Isn't it a reform to crack down on illegal nobles, confiscate their excess land and private soldiers, destroy their castles, and confiscate their assets?"

Shen Buhai shook his head and said: "No, reform is not like this. Reform that can make a country strong and dominate one side is a reform!"

Han Wu asked: "How to reform?"

Shen Buhai said: "The strategy of cultivating the art of practicing the way and cultivating politics and education internally. 1. Rectify the administration of officials, take back the privileges of the nobility, take back the excess wealth of the nobility and return it to the national treasury;

2. Implement the rule of law, strengthen the power of the monarch, and strengthen the assessment and supervision of officials;

3. Rectify the army, take back private soldiers, and strengthen military training;

4. Advocate the people to open up wasteland and cultivate land, abolish the well-field system and private land, and grow more food;

5. Pay attention to and encourage the development of handicrafts. ”

Han Wu nodded and said, "Okay! According to Shen Zi's words, who should be responsible for training the army?"

Shen Buhai bowed and said, "I am willing to serve as the general to rectify the army! ”

The ministers were all panicking. If this continued, Shen Buhai would be both the prime minister and the general, and all the civil and military powers would be in his hands.

Some ministers stood up to object, but Han Wu trusted Shen Buhai very much and said to him, "Okay, I will announce that Shen Buhai will serve as the general and command the military and political power of the country. However, Shen Zi, you have to help me govern the country and train the troops, which is a bit too much. Who do you think is the best at training the troops in the court?"

Shen Buhai said, "Your Majesty, this army cannot be trained casually. I plan to train the troops in Yiyang. This army is called Yiyang Iron Army! However, no one in the court can train this new army!"

After listening to this, Han Wu looked at the ministers in the court. Indeed, there was no one in the court who could fight. He sighed and said, "Then who will be responsible for Shen Zi's generals who train the new army? ”

Shen Buhai said: “To recruit talents, I plan to go to Daliang, Wei State, in person. First, I will go to build good relations with Wei State and sign a marriage agreement.The first is to choose some talented people to join Han. ”

Han Wu nodded and said, “Okay, let’s do as Shen Zi said.”

And the new army trained by Shen Buhai in Yiyang was the famous Jisha soldiers.

Chu Court

King Xiong Liangfu of Chu laughed and said, “Everyone, this year, the Grand Marshal led an army of 200,000 to defeat Yue and occupied more than 30 cities of Yue. It is really a cause for celebration. The happiest thing is that Wei slipped in Jiqiu, and the Qi army wiped out 60,000 Wei troops! The Sun Bin of the Northern Qi State played around in Wei. ”

Ling Yin Zhao Xuxi said, “Your Majesty, don’t take it lightly. Although Wei was defeated, it still annexed Wei and lost 60,000 people. Wei can recover after recuperating for another year or two. ”

Xiong Liangfu nodded and said: "Ling Yin is right. I think it's time to compete with Wei for the hegemony of the Central Plains! Qu Yong, you go to Daliang City tomorrow and tell Wei Lang that my Chu State has severed diplomatic relations with Wei State."

"Yes"

Qin State Court

Qin Gong Ying Quliang said: "Everyone, thanks to General Daoman's victory over Yiqiu, I will reward General Daoman with a thousand gold and a thousand acres of land. The most important thing is that Wei was ambushed by the Qi army in Jiqiu, Song State, and the 60,000-strong army was wiped out. What do you think of the general situation in the world?"

Ying Qian laughed and said: "Good! Wei Lang must be so angry now! ”

Wei Yang stood up and said sadly: "Your Majesty, although Wei was defeated in Jiqiu, Wei still annexed Wei. Although some soldiers were lost, it still gained a lot, so there is no need to worry! I am a little powerless to reform, so I ask your Majesty to issue a decree to recruit talents from all over the world to my Qin State."

Ying Quliang saw that Wei Yang had white hair on his head, and said sadly: "You have worked hard, the Great Liangzao. I have decided to issue a decree to recruit talents from all over the world!"

As he said this, he took out the bamboo slips and started writing. After a while, Ying Quliang read: "In the past, my Duke Mu was between Qi and Yong, cultivating virtue and practicing martial arts. He pacified the chaos in Jin in the east and used the river as the boundary. He dominated the Rong and Di in the west and expanded the territory by a thousand miles. The emperor gave him the title of Earl, and the princes congratulated him. He opened a business for future generations, which was very glorious. In the past, Duke Li, Duke Zao, Duke Jian, and Duke Chuzi were restless. The country was troubled internally and had no time for foreign affairs. The Three Jins attacked and seized the Hexi land of my ancestors, and the princes humiliated Qin. There was no greater shame. Duke Xian ascended the throne, pacified the border, moved the capital to Liyang, and wanted to attack the east to recover Duke Mu's old land and improve Duke Mu's policies. I miss my ancestors and always feel pain in my heart. If there are guests and ministers who can come up with a brilliant plan to strengthen Qin, I will give them a high position and share the land with them. What do you think? " Wei Yang stood up and said excitedly: "This is a famous article that has not been seen in 500 years. Your Majesty's ambition can rule the world! Scholars from all over the world will definitely come to Qin!" Wei Yang said again: "I think we can send Jing Jian to select some talents in Daliang, Wei, when sending the princess to Wei to marry. Daliang is full of talents, and there must be great sages like me who can govern the country! ”

Ying Quliang nodded and said: "Okay! That's it."
