The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Ye Qing took out the secret letter copied from the alchemist's letter from his bosom, and handed it to Yi Wang Ji Changshui respectfully. Yi Wang Ji Changshui took the secret letter and unfolded it. The moment he saw the contents of the letter, his expression was the same as that of his elder brother. Father is exactly the same.

Shocked!

It's not that the members of the Xia royal family are not strong enough, it's just that the situation is so serious that anyone would be shocked.

After all, Qin Dynasty is going to steal his hometown!

"This letter is a secret letter written by the princess of my great Zhao who married into the Qin Palace. It clearly explained how the Emperor Qin discussed with the ministers about cutting Xia. If His Royal Highness King Yi does not believe this secret letter is true or false, I It's not easy to explain, I can only tell His Highness King Yi that Da Zhao responded to Da Xia's letter with four words!"

"These four words are, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. My Majesty knows very well that since the Qin Dynasty declared war on Zhao in the open, then after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Xia Dynasty, it would definitely send troops to attack Zhao. Now, taking advantage of the Xia Dynasty, it must be done. If you don’t react, you can’t sit still!”

"That's why Da Zhao sent five envoys to visit the four kings and His Majesty Emperor Xia one by one. At the same time, His Majesty also sent many ministers to other countries to meet with the emperors of other countries to prepare for the attack on Qin. , hold a banquet to entertain the emperors of other countries, and discuss the matter of defeating Qin with the emperors of other countries!"

Chapter 883 Zhao Zhongshan’s Diplomacy ([-])

Ye Qing briefly introduced the major event of the attack on Qin Dynasty, and also explained why he risked being attacked by the Qin Dynasty to inform the Xia Dynasty.

After listening to this, Yi Wang Ji Changshui immediately understood, "So you go to my father, get the right to decide the crown prince from my father, and then use the position of crown prince to lure me to wait for the prince to send troops, right?"

Ye Qing nodded: "That's right, among the four kings, whoever performs the best in defeating Qin is the Crown Prince of Daxia!"

"Hehe!" Yi Wang Ji Changshui sneered for a while, "According to what your envoy said, it is not your Zhao Dynasty who has the best performance in defeating Qin. That's all right, your envoy can go back. My highness will not participate in the attack on Qin." !"

To tell the truth, Yi Wang Ji Changshui still wanted to participate in the conquest of Qin, but he had scruples. This scruple was that if he fought to the death during the conquest of Qin and lost his troops and generals, and finally the crown prince fell into the hands of others, wouldn't he regret it endlessly.

Ye Qing also understood Yi Wang Ji Changshui's scruples, and immediately replied with a smile on his face: "Your Highness Yi Wang, don't worry, I can guarantee that Da Zhao will be fair and just, and His Highness Yi Wang may not know it! "

"The country that participated in the conquest of Qin is not only the Great Xia, except for the two dynasties of Yue and Wei, other dynasties and many vassal states will participate in the conquest of Qin. At the same time, my majesty has hosted a banquet in the capital of the endless kingdom to entertain the emperors of all countries!"

"My Majesty said that at the banquet, he will mention this matter to the emperors of other countries. All the emperors are notaries to ensure fairness and justice. So, His Highness King Yi should be at ease, right?"

And this thing?

Yi Wang Ji Changshui's expression softened, and he subconsciously asked, "Is this really true?"

"Really!" Ye Qingzheng replied with a serious head, and then added: "For the banquet in the capital of the Wuzhong Kingdom, my Majesty also invited His Highness King Yi, and you will be more at ease if you will be present. I, Da Zhao, sincerely invite Yi His Royal Highness will attack Qin!"

"Okay, then this king will participate in the attack on Qin. I don't know when will the banquet in the capital of Wuzhang Kingdom start?" Yi Wang Ji Changshui responded directly without further hesitation.

Ye Qing stood up, leaned over and saluted: "His Royal Highness Yi Wang will leave immediately, and at the same time, please announce to the world that His Royal Highness Yi Wang is going to attack Qin!"

"No problem, this king will send someone to do it immediately!" Yi Wang Ji Changshui agreed very readily.

"Haha, then I will take my leave first and go down to rest!" Ye Qing leaned down again to bid farewell, and with the nod of Yi Wang Ji Changshui's agreement, Ye Qing quickly left Yi Wang's mansion.

After Ye Qing left, Yi Wang Ji Changshui immediately summoned his disciples, and told about his participation in the Qin campaign and the banquet in Wuzhong Kingdom. The guard with the knife left Hwaseong.

When leaving, the matter of King Yi's attack on Qin was also announced...

Ji Changluo, King of Han, Ji Changshui, King of Yi, two of the four kings have agreed to attack Qin, and now only Guang Wang Ji Changqian and Zhen Wang Ji Changzhen are left!

The 27th year of Shengqin, August [-]th!

Prince Zhen Ji Changzhen, who was sitting in Yuecheng, joined the Zhao Dynasty's team to conquer Qin under the talk of the envoys of Zhao Dynasty to Xia Dynasty.

Also on the same day, Ji Changqian, the King of Guang, who was in Dongguang City, also went to Xia Zhao to talk about it, and joined the Zhao Dynasty's team to conquer Qin.

Since Zhao Dan proposed the strategy of conquering Qin from all over the world, it took less than half a month to convince both the military and political circles of the Xia Dynasty, and successfully pulled the Xia Dynasty on his chariot. Compared with the last joint diplomacy, This time the diplomacy was quite successful.

No wonder the ancients said that if you want to succeed, you must have the right time, place and people.

The reason why the Zhao Dynasty's diplomacy is so successful now is nothing more than the obtaining of the right time and the harmony of people. Zhao Xuanzhan secretly prepared to attack the Xia Dynasty, and even played the banner of unifying the world.

This made the people of all countries panic, especially the Xia Dynasty. Therefore, relying on these two points, the Zhao Dynasty easily tied the Xia Dynasty to its chariot. Next, it depends on the remaining dynasties. If all diplomacy succeeds, the Great Qin Dynasty will There will be an unprecedented shocking battle!

Zhongshan country!

Zhongshan Kingdom used to be a powerful dynasty. The prestige of the Zhongshan Dynasty swept the world. Huainan County in the early Qin Dynasty, Yun County in the Jin Dynasty, Yangshuo County and Donggu County in the Zhao Dynasty, Hanchuan County and Gannan County in the Qi Dynasty. Both are the territory of the Zhongshan Dynasty.

The Qi Dynasty's Yong'an County and half of the territory east of Shahe County also belonged to the Zhongshan Dynasty. At that time, the Zhongshan Dynasty was the overlord of the northwest of Kyushu. Although its prestige was not as good as the current Great Qin Dynasty, it was still a step down, and the surrounding countries trembled three times. The presence.

It is a pity that the coup and civil strife more than 200 years ago made this huge dynasty a third-rate dynasty in just ten years, and more than half of the territory was divided by Qin, Qi, and Zhao. The Great Moon Dynasty, otherwise it would have been gone long ago.

The Zhongshan Dynasty became the Zhongshan Kingdom, and the land of nine counties became two counties and twelve counties. The population has changed from the peak of 700 million to the current 40. Speaking of population, we have to mention the Qin Dynasty. The original Zhongshan Kingdom also had 80 million Population.

As a result, the Qin Dynasty introduced the tenth-class peasant noble system and the free school system, which sucked half of the population of Zhongshan Kingdom. Because the Qin Dynasty was too strong, Zhongshan Kingdom could be crushed to death with one finger, so Zhongshan Kingdom did not dare to close the gate. He didn't dare to order publicly to prohibit the people from entering the Qin Dynasty. He could only rely on interrogation as an excuse to restrict the people from entering the Qin Dynasty.

And because of the loss of half of the population, the [-] standing army of Zhongshan had to be cut by [-]. The laid-off soldiers became young and strong, obediently working for Master Shi Kun to maintain the country's young and strong labor force, leaving only [-] housekeepers.

In fact, compared to other vassal states, Zhongshan State has the largest territory among the vassal states, but the [-] housekeeping army has become a joke in the eyes of the vassal states, which often annoys the monarch of Zhongshan State.

Anger also dares to be angry but dare not speak!

The capital of the Zhongshan Kingdom is called Zhongshan City, and people call it Zhongshan Wangcheng. The Zhongshan Dynasty is a royal city with a long history. It has witnessed the prosperity and decline of a dynasty.

Zhongshan King City, Palace, Royal Study Room!

In the imperial study room, a five or sixty-year-old man was sitting on a lacquered gold king chair. The old man had gray temples and hair like snow. He was wearing a dark yellow four-clawed python suit and a long crown on his head. color.

PS: "It's cold, my face is dry, my hands are dry, my whole body is dry, please moisturize, all monthly tickets are recommended, come on!"

Chapter 884 Zhao Zhongshan’s Diplomacy ([-])

He is the king of Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhuang Zhen, who is 59 years old this year. In a few months, his 60th birthday party will be held, but now he has no joy that the birthday party is coming soon.

Zhuangzhen's road to becoming king was very bumpy. He ascended the throne at the age of 35, but at that time there was a treacherous official in power, in charge of the military and political power. He forced the treacherous minister to death before he regained the royal power and took control of the Zhongshan Kingdom's military and political power.

And it lasted for 20 years, until he was 55 years old, before he became the veritable king of Zhongshan Kingdom!

As an intention to strengthen the country and restore the glory of his ancestors, since he took over the kingship, he has tried to get rid of the control of the Moon Dynasty time and time again. The officials sent by the Moon Dynasty were often emptied by him, but he still failed to get rid of the affiliated state of the Moon Dynasty. identity.

Apart from the fact that this matter gave him a headache, the growing strength of the Qin Dynasty above his head also made him terrified, and he couldn't sleep at night, especially when he heard that the Qin Dynasty played the banner of unifying the world. Attack the weak Zhongshan country.

He doesn't want to sit still, he wants to reform the law to strengthen the country, but everything is just his wishful thinking, and the reform is difficult to implement. After all, although he has sat on the throne for 24 years, he has been a puppet emperor for 20 years.

In the remaining four years, the throne has not yet been fully secured, and the hearts of the courtiers and the hearts of the people only get a small half each.

"Bastard!"

Suddenly, Zhuang Zhen angrily threw the memorial that he was reviewing in his hands on the ground, and the eunuchs and maids beside him immediately lowered their heads in fear. Zhuang Zhen's chest heaved violently, his nostrils were panting heavily, and his face was red. It can be seen that he was so angry. Not light.

What made him angry was the memorial he had just dropped on the ground. The content of the memorial said that there were more than two hundred people in a village who disappeared overnight without a trace.

Although the memorial said that they did not know where they were going, everyone understood that the two hundred people in this village definitely sneaked into the Qin Dynasty to enjoy the policies of the Qin Dynasty.

Angry, in addition to angry or angry!

It is a shame, a great shame, that the overlord of the Northwest fell into the situation where his subjects fled to other countries. If the ancestors who created the prosperous situation saw this scene, they would probably jump out of the coffin in anger.

tread... tread...

At this time, an old eunuch holding Buddha dust walked in outside the hall. This old eunuch was named Si Li, who worshiped the eunuch order and was one of the few trusted aides in Zhuangzhen.

"Your Majesty, envoy Zhao is asking to see you!" Si Li bowed down respectfully and said.

"Emissary Zhao? What Emissary Zhao?" Zhuang Zhen didn't come to his senses for a moment.

"The envoy Zhao said that the Emperor Zhao sent him to go to Zhongshan overnight to discuss important matters with the king. He has been running for [-] consecutive days and is exhausted, but he still wants to see the king first, and the discussion is on the way!" Si Li replied respectfully.

Zhuang Zhen frowned, and thought to himself, Zhongshan Wangcheng is at least two thousand miles away from the capital of Handan Emperor, and it will arrive in fifteen days after two thousand miles. How urgent it is, and we have to discuss important matters together. What does this important matter refer to? ?

Zhuang Zhen quickly thought of the news that the Qin Dynasty had declared war on the Zhao Dynasty a few days ago. Once he thought of this, he could be sure that the Zhao Dynasty sent envoys to him to resist Qin.

"Is there something wrong with him?" Zhuang Zhen wanted to make sure.

"Back to the king, the envoy Zhao didn't say anything!" Si Li replied with his head bowed.

"Idiot, don't you know how to ask if he doesn't tell you?" Zhuang Zhen said angrily, and then waved his hands again and again: "Hurry up, bring Ambassador Zhao over!"

"Obey!" Si Li stepped back quickly, and quickly disappeared from Zhuang Zhen's sight.

After Si Li left, Zhuang Zhen sat on the king's chair and waited quietly. This wait was the time for two sticks of incense. Although the Zhongshan Palace is a royal palace, its scale is built according to the standard imperial palace. It is very large, and there is no time for two sticks of incense. , It is impossible to walk from the palace gate to the imperial study room unless you run.

After the time of two incense sticks, Si Li brought a middle-aged man in the silver Yunyan Buzi court uniform into the imperial study. A doctor in the city defense of the Pinbing Department.

There were not enough people in the Ministry of Rites, so the fourth-rank ministers who were relatively idle in the Ministry of War were sent as envoys.

Wang He bent down and saluted calmly and said: "Foreign minister Wang He, under the order of His Majesty the Emperor of Zhao, came to Zhongshan as an envoy, and at the same time, I would like to ask the king of Zhongshan whether he is healthy or not!"

"Haha!" Zhuang Zhen laughed a few times without a smile on his face, and deliberately smiled with relief: "My king is in good health, thank you Emperor Zhao for your greetings, oh yes, when the time comes, your envoy will also greet this king Emperor Zhao!"

"I will definitely bring it!" Wang He said with a light smile.

"This time, what's the reason for Zhao's envoy?"

After some politeness, Zhuang Zhen got straight to the point and asked about the purpose of envoy Zhao's trip to Zhongshan.

"Zhongshan Kingdom is located under the Qin Dynasty, not far from Xianyang. Presumably the king has already learned that the Qin Dynasty has declared war on our Great Zhao, and this is why I came here!" .

"Can I, Zhongshan, send troops to aid Zhao?" Zhuang Zhen asked tentatively.

"No!"

Wang He shook his head, "It's an attack on Qin!"

Zhuang Zhen's whole body went limp, and he almost fell off the king's chair. He was quite frightened by Wang He's indifferent five words.

Knowing that he was embarrassed, Zhuang Zhen hurriedly straightened his clothes, then looked at Wang He with disbelief and said, "Your envoy is joking, you actually want my king's Zhongshan country to attack Qin with troops, isn't your envoy Just kidding, I think too highly of me!"

The Zhongshan Kingdom had 4000 armored soldiers, and the Qin Dynasty had a million armored troops, and their combat power was different. How could they attack Qin? [-] million Qin people could flood the Zhongshan Kingdom with just one spittle. The two are not the same at all. Hierarchical!

Wang He said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, be at peace, don't be impatient, and listen to me!"

Zhuang Zhen already has the urge to drive people away, so why don't you be impatient, if it were you, don't be impatient if you come here.

"Okay, envoy continue to talk!" Zhuang Zhen waved helplessly.

"The ambition of the wolves of the Qin Dynasty is clearly evident. They intend to unify the world. The concept of unifying the world must be clearer to the king than to the subordinates. It is nothing more than to wipe out all the countries in the world and bring the world into one. Such an ambitious person will be punished by everyone in the world!"

"This time, my emperor has sent envoys to eight dynasties including Xia Dynasty, Chu Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Qi Dynasty, Shu Dynasty, Lu Dynasty, Shen Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty, as well as 27 princes including Zhongshan Kingdom. country!"

"We are going to launch a global attack on Qin, and completely eliminate the threat of this Kyushu. Therefore, it is not about aiding Zhao, but about attacking Qin. It is not about Zhongshan and Dazhao, but about the kingdoms of Kyushu!" Wang He spoke eloquently. And talk.

Chapter 885 Zhao Zhongshan’s Diplomacy ([-])

"Haha!" Zhuang Zhen couldn't help laughing out loud!

Wang He smiled and said nothing, he knew why Zhuang Zhen was laughing, he just thought that it was impossible for Da Zhao to unite with other countries.

"Does your majesty think that it is a fool's dream that I, Great Zhao, unite the nations?"

Zhuang Zhen stopped laughing and asked, "Otherwise?"

"The Qin Dynasty declared war on Zhao because it clearly wanted to use Zhao as a sword. The nations wished that Qin and Zhao would fight to the death. How could they send troops?" Zhuang Zhen continued.

Wang He smiled indifferently, "Your Majesty may not know that the Qin Dynasty's declaration of war against Zhao was not really a war against the Zhao Dynasty, but a cover-up, taking the opportunity to sneak attack on the Shangqiu imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty, and destroy the Xia Dynasty's regime in one fell swoop!"

"My great Zhao united the kingdoms to attack Qin, firstly to prevent the Qin Dynasty's scheme from succeeding, otherwise the Qin Dynasty will become stronger, and secondly, after the Qin Dynasty annihilated Xia, the next one is my Great Zhao, everyone knows the reason! "

"As for whether the nations will stare blankly, I think it's impossible. Today's world is no longer the same as before. Back then, the strengths of the nations were not much different. The nations attacked each other, and no one helped them. They all wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"But what about now? The Qin Dynasty is the dominant family, and the Wei Dynasty is acting as the eagle dog of the Qin Dynasty in the south. It is showing a tendency of attacking from the north and the south. If the countries do not cooperate with the army, those who welcome the countries will be completely destroyed. In other words, it is simple. , that is, if you don’t do anything now, you will be destroyed by Qin next!”

Zhuang Zhen fell silent, lost in thought.

I have to admit that what Wang He said is very reasonable. The ambition of the Qin Dynasty has been exposed, and it is obviously under the banner of unifying the world. If the countries do not unite, they will be wiped out sooner or later. The Northwest countries are the first to encounter it.

Can the national strength of Zhongshan country withstand the Qin army's charge?

"How do you know that the Qin Dynasty is going to attack the Shangqiu capital of the Xia Dynasty?" Zhuang Zhen couldn't help asking in doubt.

"I don't know if your majesty knows that my great Zhao sent a princess to the Qin Dynasty to get married a few years ago?" Wang He didn't finish speaking in one breath, and stopped talking halfway.

And Zhuang Zhen instantly understood what Wang He meant.

It's so ruthless that even sending the princess to be a spy is not afraid of Emperor Qin's wrath.

"If what the envoy said is true, if the Qin Dynasty destroys Xia and then Zhao, the next one will be our Zhongshan country!" Zhuang Zhen looked solemn, feeling an invisible pressure.

Wang He was secretly delighted when he heard the words. Zhuang Zhen's ability to say this showed that he already had the intention of defeating Qin in his heart.

"The world-wide conquest of Qin called by Dazhao is actually to destroy Qin from all over the world. The land of Qin is boundless. If Qin is successfully destroyed, I, Dazhao, can promise that all participating countries will carve up the land of Qin!" Wang He continued to strike while the iron is hot.

Carve up the land of Qin!

Zhuangzhen was moved for a while. The population of the Qin Dynasty was 4000 million. Any county has a population of millions, especially Huainan County and Nanyang County above Zhongshan Country. Each has a population of nearly 200 million. If he is divided into two counties, the population can reach the level of the dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhen seemed to see the reconstruction of the Zhongshan Dynasty.

"How to carve up the land of Qin? Zhao Dynasty decides or fights on his own?" Zhuang Zhen asked with a more urgent expression.

Wang He shook his head, "It's neither determined by me, nor by myself. My lord, my emperor has already hosted a banquet in the capital of the endless country, inviting the emperors and kings of all countries to participate, and discuss the great cause of defeating Qin. Qin land will be divided up, and everyone involved can divide it up!"
