Of course, it was not that there were no other things after Long Bing'er decreed the armistice. On the contrary, post-war governance was the most labor-intensive task.
In order to prevent the infiltration of the other side's spies and to allow the people in the occupied areas to live a good life, infrastructure construction is also indispensable.
Now, although Xin Honggao has stopped fighting for the classics, he is more tired than before.
Now he needs to think more and do more.
Fortunately, when I followed General Long to lead the Western Army, I still did a lot of similar border management work.
At that time, General Long was also equivalent to half a Jiedushi, in charge of the military and political affairs of a place, but unlike Jiedushi, he was not able to exercise unfettered power in the true sense, so he was called half a Jiedushi.
Now the things Xin Honggao learned from General Long over the years can be put to use.
The lieutenant general who had been serving for decades has now become the chief general. From rawness to maturity, it can be said that Xin Honggao has truly gained the ability to stand alone.
When Xu Qing calmed down to recuperate, Zhao Guo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the country was still there.
Emperor Zhao had more and more white hair on his head, his health was deteriorating, and he was no longer able to care for his beautiful harem. He spent more time sleeping and less time awake every day.
I just don't know if he was really asleep or pretending to be asleep for such a long time.
Because the current Emperor Zhao has no way to face these former ministers. He has long been no longer the nine-five-year-old in the eyes of these ministers, and is even almost a dog with a broken spine...??m
If it weren't for his misjudgment, it would be a fantasy for the rebels in Shuzhou to capture half of the country.
It took more than half a year to strengthen the defense line. Even the first-generation firearms and sturdy siege cones and catapults could not easily break through the defense.
Even if the defense line is broken, there is still street fighting with many mechanisms inside.
It can be said that Li Hu devoted most of his efforts to this line of defense. Even if the city is defeated, the enemy will pay the price in blood every step forward.
But this line of defense was destroyed by Zhao Huang's own arrogance and ignorance.
The defensive frontier troops gave up defending the city and turned to attack. They originally had no advantage against the enemy's armed troops and took the initiative to attack, but in the end they ended up with the entire army annihilated, which ultimately led to the near-destruction of Zhao State.
situation.
It can be said that the emperor has an unshirkable responsibility for the state of Zhao to become what it is now.
The current Emperor Zhao has no prestige at all in the court. Now he randomly appoints a prince to be the crown prince and oversees the country. It makes sense for him to pretend to be seriously ill in bed.
Why would you go out if you weren't sick?
How many people are there out there who can listen to your emperor?
If you go out, aren't you looking for trouble for yourself?
Now the prince has been defeated countless times, and the officials in the court do not take this prince seriously at all, which shows how serious the internal worries of Zhao State are.
It can be said that the current emperor has no shame to see others or himself. He even dare not look in the mirror.
Why do you have no face to see yourself?
Because he could have won by lying down, but he always felt that he was a famous general and always wanted to micro-manage the game himself.
Lo and behold, the advantage that his teammates had worked so hard to achieve was instantly turned into a disadvantage by himself.
If God gives him another chance, Zhao Huang promises that he will honestly be a fool and never give assists to the enemy again.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.
Now Emperor Zhao only wants one thing, and that is that he can die of old age or illness before the Shuzhou rebels attack the capital, and he must not fall into the hands of the Shuzhou rebels.
You must know that the leader of the rebels is now Long Bing'er!
He personally ordered to kill Long Wu and destroy the Long family. This can be said to be a mortal hatred for killing his father!
What would happen if he was captured alive by the Shuzhou rebels?
Emperor Zhao was sure that Long Bing'er wanted to rip off his head and play it with a ball!
It would be difficult for both myself and Qin Xiang to have a good death!
Emperor Zhao might as well not do anything else. His dynasty may be able to survive for a while if he rules by doing nothing. If he leaves to handle political affairs himself, Zhao's demise may be accelerated!
Now Emperor Zhao really regrets that he didn't let the good deeds go before he insisted on thinking that he could do it...
The happiness of the faint king is gone, and the sense of accomplishment of the wise king is not enjoyed.
Is there such a miserable emperor in the world?
At this time, the State of Zhao was working hard to regain its strength, the State of Shu was rapidly digesting its territory, the State of Chu was busy moving its capital, and the State of Zhou was attacking the Western Regions.
It can be said that everyone has their own things to be busy with.
The Western Regions are very important to the Zhou State. Whether they can compete with the Chu State in the future depends on the Western Regions.
The Western Region not only has enough horse farms, but more importantly, it has opened up connections with the West, which will be a major boost to Zhou's economy in the future.
The Silk Road.
Although caravans from Western countries have already come to the Central Plains to sell goods, this channel is not stable.
There are not many other things in the Western Region but there are many countries. If you throw a stone, you may be thrown out of the country. If a caravan takes a trip, the customs duties will be very heavy.
Rather than giving this money to the Western Regions for nothing, Li Xun might as well lead his own people to conquer the Western Regions and earn the money himself.
At that time, the Central Plains will be able to have a steady stream of goods sold to the West, and there will also be a steady flow of silver and other rare goods flowing into the Central Plains.
Xu Qing's advice to Li Xun was to give priority to bartering instead of focusing on silver.
This suggestion also makes sense.
Because there is a lot of silver in the West!
How can their silver have the strong purchasing power of the silver from the Central Plains?
Silver is currency and a general equivalent. The more the better, it must be controlled within a reasonable range.
If the inflow is unchecked, wouldn't it cause rapid inflation in the Chinese economy?
Money can depreciate, but you can't let it depreciate so quickly. This must be done carefully, otherwise it will definitely be a disaster for ordinary people.
If the more silver, the better, Xu Qing would have asked Xiao Ye to organize a fleet to knock down the Japanese country. There are mountains of silver there.
But can it be so hasty? Obviously not!
Li Xun was always willing to adopt Xu Qing's suggestions, so the caravan he sent also followed this point.
The Zhou State did not have the land Silk Road to travel by sea. In the future, the Chu and Zhao States could use the sea to open up more routes and trade in more places.
Open the prelude to the Age of Discovery in advance and connect the world as a whole!
Gee, it makes me feel great just thinking about it.
Of course, before the big voyage, Xu Qing had to ask Xiao Ye to organize a fleet to destroy the two brothers, the Japanese and the Bangzi, to prevent them from causing trouble for thousands of years.
Well, I have real energy!
[The south of the Yangtze River is the State of Zhao, the east of the north of the Yangtze River is the State of Chu, and the west is the State of Zhou.]
