In terms of historical facts, Jiang Ziya's strength can be said to be rarely matched. In terms of military and political affairs, he has always been one of the best throughout the ages. As for the mythology, although Jiang Ziya in the myth of conferred gods is not a person with profound Taoism, he is after all a disciple of the original, and he has divided the world and the gods in the heavens. Does Jiang Ziya have control over these gods?

It is hard to say about the power of control.

No matter what, with Jiang Ziya's status here, he would have enough status even in the Great Zhou.

Of course, what exactly happened between the Ji family and other families during the revival phase a thousand years later, that is, the entire period from the birth of the Great Zhou to the modern times, is a question worth discussing.

Not to mention the status of the Jiang family in the Great Zhou, they are just a second-rate family. And big families like the Huang family have become silent. How is it possible to say that there is no problem?

However, even if he had any ideas, Jiang Jun would naturally not ask rashly.

Of course, this is talking about Jiang Jun's clone, when the Third Master led Jiang Jun into the family's important place and saw the statue of Jiang Ziya, and the Third Master explained things to Jiang Jun.

According to the family's intention, this time they wanted to select a talent to accompany the Great Zhou royal family to the Great Song Dynasty. This had already been said. However, to Jiang Jun's surprise, it was said that although the assessment this time did not ignore strength, it was more about ability. What ability? This time they were going on a diplomatic mission to a foreign country, not only for the Great Zhou, but also related to Jiang Jun's

The inner story of the family's interests has not been explained yet. Jiang Jun has no pressure at all on the family's test in this regard. The entire Liu Bei army is on the side of Jiang Jun's clone. If it comes to diplomacy and strategy, even if Jiang Taigong takes action personally, it may not be able to

They can gain a lot of advantage over them, not to mention that Jiang Jun and his clone are in sync with each other, and there is also a think tank here.

Of course, there are such places in other places, but generally speaking, if it is a secret realm that has been out for some time, such high-level figures will never go out casually, and they must have been arranged with important matters.

However, having said that, wise men can be classified in several aspects. Although Zhuge Liang and others are portrayed as all-round talents, when you think about it carefully, they are only good in certain aspects. As for diplomacy, it is natural that there are more diplomatic missions to foreign countries during the period of coexistence of multiple countries. As for the period of great unification, although there is also diplomacy or similar diplomacy in dealing with warlords and vassal kings,

But it cannot be called diplomacy in the true sense.

To be honest, the greatest diplomatic achievement of the Three Kingdoms was naturally the establishment of the alliance between Sun Wu and Cao. The most far-sighted among them were Zhuge Kongming and Mr. Lu Su.

However, that era was short after all, and it only lasted the Three Kingdoms period, which was very different from the period of the Seven Kingdoms of the Warring States Period and the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. The frequent diplomatic activities at that time were the real big deal.

The vertical and horizontal alliances were to unite the six states in Shandong to resist Qin. The horizontal alliances were to persuade the six states to serve Qin. The horizontal and vertical alliances were one of the "Nine Schools". Therefore, those who carried out political activities with eloquence were called "horizontal alliances". During the Warring States Period, a group of political advisers who examined the current situation and explained the pros and cons, lobbied the monarchs of various countries with the ideas of "vertical and horizontal alliances", which had a certain influence on the situation at that time. Their representatives were Su Qin and Zhang Yi. Su Qin advocated vertical and horizontal alliances, uniting the six states in Shandong to resist Qin. Zhang Yi advocated horizontal alliances, persuading the six states to serve Qin. At that time, advisers were generally divided into

It belongs to the two schools of thought, the Hezong school and the Lianheng school. The Zongheng school was a group of outstanding figures in the Warring States Period. It was also a school that had long been famous among the nine schools and ten schools in the pre-Han period. The Zongheng school was also the most prominent school during the Qin and Han dynasties. Compared with other schools of thought,

The time when the diplomats were truly active was the shortest, but they were created during a unique historical period in world history.

At this stage today, it is not similar, but the basic situation is very similar. Their emergence was mainly due to the separatist disputes at that time, and the royal power could not be stabilized and unified. It was necessary to use the methods of union, exclusion, coercion, inducement or the assistance of military force on the basis of national prosperity to win without fighting, or to obtain the greatest benefits with less losses. Their wisdom, ideas, means and strategies were basically the best ways to deal with problems between countries at that time. It was a unique historical stage in world history. The wisdom created under historical conditions could not be surpassed by any dynasty in later generations. Most of the people of diplomacy were born in poverty. Under the most difficult speculation, it was an extraordinary liberation, creation and development of human wisdom. They could persuade the princes in court with their common people.

You can use your tongue to repel a million-strong army, or you can use the art of diplomacy to resolve unexpected danger.

Nowadays, many princes have risen up and are fighting for supremacy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jun also knew that if it was really just a matter of strategy, the people under his command might not be their opponents.

But these people are not actually from the Great Zhou. Although the Great Zhou may have controlled some of them, such as Confucianism, which has appeared before, it is not necessarily all of them.

By the way, it seems that the Jiang family not only belongs to the Great Zhou, but also the royal family of the Great Qi. Qi was a vassal state in Chinese history from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was divided into Jiang Qi and Tian Qi. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou granted Lü Shang the title of Duke of Qi. Because the monarch's surname was Jiang and his family was Lü, it was also called "Jiang Qi" or "Lü Qi". In 391 BC, Tian He, the fourth-generation grandson of Tian Chengzi, abolished Duke Kang of Qi, and in 386 BC, exiled Duke Kang of Qi to the sea and established himself as the monarch. In the same year, he was appointed as the Marquis of Qi by King An of Zhou. The monarch's surname was Gui and his family was Tian. This was the Tian Qi State, known in history as Tian Qi. Its territory included most of the northern part of Shandong Province and the southwestern part of Hebei Province. It bordered the sea to the east, and bordered small countries such as Ju, Qi, and Lu in the southwest. It bordered Yan to the north, and Zhao and Wei to the west. The capital was Linzi (now Linzi District, Shandong Province). King Xian of Zhou, seventeen

In 352 BC (the fifth year of King Wei of Qi), he was crowned king. The dynasty was passed down to Wang Jian, who was destroyed by Qin in 221 BC (the 208th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang). He later restored his kingdom in 202 BC, but was destroyed by Han general Han Xin in BC.

In this case, the Jiang family has quite a few talented people under its command, which is not comparable to ordinary families.

Of course, it is hard to say whether the secret realm of Qi is in Jiang's house, at least Jiang Jun has not seen it yet. Jiang Ziya founded the country. Jiang Ziya laid a very good foundation for Qi. He made good ethnic policies, respected the customs of local residents, and then assimilated them with Zhou rituals. After that, he "opened up trade and industry, and facilitated the benefits of fishing and salt", making Qi a

A small country with little land and few people suddenly became a great country with a prosperous economy and a large population. The Jiang family was the king of Qi for generations and prospered (until the Warring States Period).

When talking about the State of Qi, we don’t mention the period of Jiang Ziya, but the overlord Duke Huan of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Qi State became stronger by continuously annexing the surrounding small states. After the chaotic rule of Duke Xiang, Duke Huan of Qi Xiaobai came to power. Duke Huan appointed Guan Zhong as prime minister, implemented reforms, and implemented a system of military and political unity, and soldiers and civilians. Qi State gradually became stronger. In 681 BC, Duke Huan convened a meeting of princes from the four states of Song, Chen, etc. in Zhen (now Juancheng, Shandong). Duke Huan of Qi was a historical figure.

The first prince to act as the leader of the alliance. Later, the State of Song violated the alliance, and Duke Huan of Qi, in the name of the Zhou emperor, led several princes to attack Song and forced Song to seek peace. This was the first of the "Nine Alliances of Princes". In addition, Duke Huan of Qi also destroyed small countries such as Tan, Sui, and Zhuang. At that time, the princes of the Central Plains suffered from attacks by the Rongdi and other tribes, so Duke Huan of Qi raised the banner of "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians", attacked the Shanrong in the north, and attacked the State of Chu in the south. Duke Huan became the leader of the Central Plains.

Overlord, rewarded by the Zhou emperor, pushed Qi's hegemony to its peak. Thus he became the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. Then during the reign of Yan Ying, Yan Ying served three monarchs of Qi, Duke Ling, Duke Zhuang, and Duke Jing, and ruled for 48 years. Due to his outstanding ability in governing the country and his style of doing things personally, although he met with mediocre monarchs, he maintained a prosperous era for Qi. Historians called his era and the era of Duke Huan the prosperous era of Huan and Jing. Yan Ying adhered to four principles in his administration: 1. Appoint people on their merits, not for personal relationships; punish the noble without avoiding the noble, and reward the humble without avoiding the humble; 2. Taxation should be equalized to the rich and the poor, and ten of the tillers should be taken

3. Reduce the burden on the people; 4. "The king is in charge of business, fishing and salt", the country strives to give full play to the geographical advantages, invigorate circulation and enhance national strength; . Relax harsh laws and harsh punishments, advocate benevolent governance and support it with law. Tian (Chen) replaced Qi. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Tian family was the Chen family. For example, Tian Chengzi, a minister of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period, was Chen Chengzi. Later, Tian He replaced the "Jiang" regime, which was historically known as "Tian replaced Qi." In addition, the philosopher Tian Pian during the Warring States Period was also called Chen Pian. According to "Historical Records. Tian Wan's Family" and "New Book of Tang. Prime Minister's Genealogy", Hu Gongman was granted the title of Chen State (in today's Huaiyang County, Henan Province) in the early Zhou Dynasty. His tenth-generation grandson Chen Ligong had a son named Wan, with the courtesy name Jingzhong.

. At that time, the crown prince Yu Kou was killed by Duke Xuan of Chen. Jing Zhong was afraid that the disaster would affect him, so he fled to Qi State, took the title of Tian, ​​and changed his name to Tian. King Wei of Qi dominated the Warring States Period. This was the strongest period of Qi State during the Warring States Period. There were famous generals and ministers to assist. And King Wei of Qi was thirsty for talents. "Zou Ji's Advice to the King of Qi" is about King Wei of Qi. In order to solve the problems of the power of the nobles and the weak national strength, King Wei of Qi appointed Zou Ji as prime minister, Tian Ji as general, and Sun Bin as military advisor, carried out political reforms, improved the legal system, selected talents, and clearly distinguished rewards and punishments, and the national strength became stronger day by day. After the two battles of Guiling and Maling, he defeated the Wei army and began to dominate the princes. He also respected the wise and valued scholars, built the Jixia Academy outside Jimen in Linzi, the capital, and recruited wise men from all over the world to discuss politics and teach, which became the academic and cultural center at that time. By the end of King Wei of Qi, Qi State had become the most powerful country among the vassal states. Tian Dan returned

Although the country was restored, after this ordeal, Qi no longer had the power to compete for hegemony.

Tian Dan restored his country. I won't go into the story of the Fire Bull Formation. Although he restored his country, after this ordeal, Qi no longer had the strength to fight for hegemony.

In any case, the history of the entire Qi State is also a very long period. In comparison, the brilliance of the Three Kingdoms lies more in popularity, but the actual accumulation of talents is even inferior. (The whole book is finished)
