Chapter 773 Interference in the Internal Affairs of Other Countries
"The reason why those forces that interfere in other countries' internal affairs are eventually surrounded and suppressed by other forces. No one can survive is because they are not strong enough. Any two or three forces can easily destroy them when they join forces. Moreover,
These two or three forces are still nearby, because they have the strongest sense of insecurity. Other distant forces will not send troops to destroy him, because he has not yet threatened these distant forces.
! On the other hand, Nirvana is different. The Nirvana Fleet is a fleet that unified the waters of Dali. How can its strength be comparable to those of the cats and dogs that were destroyed? Even if other maritime forces are aware of the restlessness of the Nirvana Fleet, they want to deal with it.
For the Nirvana Fleet to take action, they must have that strength! Under the huge disparity in strength, it is difficult for other forces to form an alliance to encircle and suppress the Nirvana Fleet, because the sea areas have not yet been unified, and everyone is afraid of being stabbed in the back.
Perhaps after the major forces unify their respective sea areas, it is possible to launch an encirclement and suppression of the Nirvana Fleet, but before they unify, they will never do anything to the Nirvana Fleet, because the Nirvana Fleet is too strong, and the Nirvana Fleet is already strong.
Moreover, it is an alliance with another more powerful Twilight Fleet and the Adventurer Alliance. If you add the Jurchen Fleet, a force that unifies the Jurchen Kingdom's waters, then no force will dare to think about Nirvana! Looking at it,
With the current development of the maritime world, I estimate that it will take at least five months before there are forces to unify their own sea area. In other words, even if my behavior of helping you offends their rebellion, they will not be able to unify their territory within five months.
They don't dare to do anything to the Nirvana Fleet! As for five months later, if they really form an alliance to attack the Nirvana Fleet, I will naturally have a way to resist their invasion by then!" Wei Bin said confidently.
Regarding what Jurchen said, Wei Bin has already thought about it more than once. Before they unify their own sea areas, it is impossible for the weak to unite and travel thousands of miles to attack the Nirvana Fleet! There are two reasons!
The first and most important reason is that they have not yet completed the unification. The No. 1 position in each sea area is afraid of failing to attack the Nirvana Fleet and is stabbed by the No. 2 position, or they have suffered heavy losses during the attack on the Nirvana Fleet and finally lost it.
The throne of No. 1! As for the No. 2 positions in each sea area, they can't even deal with the No. 1 position in their own sea areas. They can't unify their own sea areas, so what are they worried about? They are worried that the Nirvana Fleet will come to find them.
Trouble? Come to rob the resources of your own sea area? Or are you worried that the Nirvana Fleet will interfere in the internal affairs of your own sea area? Please, you are not the boss of this sea area. What qualifications do you have to say that it is interfering in your internal affairs? Even if it is interfering in internal affairs, then
It is also the interference in the internal affairs of the boss force! So the second position will not cause trouble for Nirvana. They have that thought and energy, they might as well put it into how to deal with the first position! This is only relatively close to the sea of Dali Kingdom
They are only the second-ranked ones of the kingdom. The second-ranked ones of the kingdoms far away from Dali are even less likely to take action. What are they doing here after traveling thousands of miles? The ones who are closer didn’t say anything. You are quite cool.
in a hurry!
The second point is the cost-effectiveness of payment and reward. Indeed, as Jurchen said, when a maritime power from another country intervenes in the battle of another country, it will indeed arouse strong resentment from all other forces. However, the strong resentment will not necessarily cause them to
Go attack the Nirvana Fleet, because the Nirvana Fleet is not a force of cats and dogs. The Nirvana Fleet is a force that unifies the sea area. How powerful is it comparable to those small fleets that were destroyed for interfering in the internal affairs of other countries in the past? What if?
The forces that interfere in the internal affairs of other countries are too powerful, so anyone will consider whether it is worth it to encircle and suppress them. Obviously, it is not worth it! Why? Because of interests, if they want to destroy the Nirvana Fleet, they must gather at least a dozen
Only the maritime forces have absolute certainty of victory, because the Nirvana Fleet is protected by a more powerful Twilight Fleet, but what about the dozen or so forces that destroyed the Nirvana Fleet? How should they allocate resources? The dozen or so forces
It’s so crowded in the sea area of Dali State. Each force can’t get much resources at all. What are they trying to do? Is it just to solve the potential threat of the Nirvana Fleet? Just to solve the potential threat.
, just risk your life and fortune to deal with Nirvana? It’s obviously not worth it!
Therefore, the major maritime forces will not easily attack Nirvana until they have unified their respective sea areas!
As for five months later, during the two-month vacuum period when Nirvana developed a large horizontal sailing ship, all sea areas were unified and a maritime alliance was formed to deal with the Nirvana fleet. Wei Bin was not very worried.
, because the Nirvana Fleet is externally allied with the Twilight Fleet, the Adventurer Alliance, and the Jurchen Fleet. Among them, except for the Adventurer Alliance, the three of them are major forces that have unified their respective sea areas. You must know that the entire Middle-earth continent has a total of
How many sea states are there? Only eight. There are as many sea states as there are land states, because each sea state is located between the land states and the middle kingdom!
Among the eight maritime kingdoms, three are Nirvana and Nirvana's allies, and these three are adjacent to each other. The Nirvana fleet is caught in the middle. It can be said that even if the five of them unite to deal with the Nirvana fleet, it will not be possible.
It is an easy task, because the five of them have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and the three Nirvana families are waiting for work! What's more, the Nirvana Fleet, the Twilight Fleet, and the Jurchen Fleet are half a year to a year ahead of their unified time. They don't
It’s just that the other five families will develop, and the three Nirvana families will also develop. After five months, they may not know how far they have developed. Maybe after five months, the combined power of the three of them, plus the four Adventurer Alliance families,
Its strength may be comparable to the other five maritime powers! Therefore, even if the other five maritime powers unite to deal with the Nirvana Fleet, it will not be an easy task!
Even if the five of them really unite to attack the Nirvana Fleet, Wei Bin is not afraid. Why? Because Wei Bin is rich! He now has huge wealth, and he doesn't know where to spend 1.3 billion gold coins.
Isn’t it just a good place to go?
Wei Bin has studied the tactics of combining vertical and horizontal lines very thoroughly during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Basically, he can master them easily. So, what is the combined vertical and horizontal tactics?
The term "He Zong Lian Heng" was born during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Its essence is actually the diplomatic and military struggles carried out by major countries in the Warring States Period in order to win over other countries.
To put it bluntly, Lian Heng means "one strong country can attack all the weak ones"! In other words, one of the strong countries will win over another strong country, and then attack the other weak countries together, because they are already strong countries. After uniting,
That would make them even more invincible. For example, Qin or Qi at that time could win over some countries and jointly attack other weak countries.
And what about He Zong? He Zong can actually be understood as the antonym of Lian Heng, that is, "uniting the weak to attack the strong one". It is often used to prevent strong countries from annexing weak countries, because they are relatively weak countries and they are fighting alone.
When fighting alone, it is difficult to resist the invasion of countries such as Qin and Qi, so they must unite to resist the invasion of powerful countries, because they all understand the truth of death and coldness. If your neighbor is beaten today, you will
If you don’t help, then when your neighbor is beaten to death, you will be the next one. If you don’t help your neighbor today, guess what, when it is your turn to be beaten in the future, your other neighbor will be the next one.
Will the family next door come to help you? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the countries in the north and south were actually united to fight against powerful countries and prevent Qin and Qi from annexing and invading!
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, He Zong Lian Heng was a very exciting history. Speaking of He Zong Lian Heng separately, the representative figures of He Zong include Gongsun Yan and Su Qin.
Gongsun Yan was from the Wei State, but his first post was not in the Wei State, but in the Qin State as Daliang Zao. In the early days of King Huiwen of Qin's reign, he helped the Qin State attack the Wei State and won the victory in the Battle of Hexi.
win
With great success, he gained control of the strategically important and fertile land of Hexi. Later, he transferred to Wei State to assume the position of Prime Minister. The official positions of Prime Minister and Daliang Zao were actually similar, but the names were different. He was in
During his tenure as prime minister, he proposed the "joint vertical" tactic for the first time, and respected King Huai of Chu as the "joint vertical captain" to unite the five countries to attack Qin. This was the beginning of the joint vertical and horizontal alliance.
!It can be said that Gongsun Yan is the founder of the joint vertical strategy.
The second representative figure of the combined vertical strategy, and the person who has applied the combined vertical strategy to its peak, is Su Qin! Su Qin is an incredible person!
Su Qin was from the Han Kingdom. He originally went to lobby the King of Qin to join forces with Heng, and used alliance tactics to suppress various small countries and expand his territory and power. However, he was not reused. After all, he was from the Han Country, and the Han Country was also a small country.
, even if they are not included in the attack targets of Lian Zong now, they will definitely become the targets of attacks in the future. How can they unite to deal with their mother country? Therefore, the King of Qin at that time did not trust Su Qin and felt that it was too risky! And just then
At this time, King Zhao of Yan was thirsty for talents, so Su Qin went to Yan State again, and finally got the favor of King Yan and began to help Yan State rejuvenate.
From this time on, Su Qin began to lobby various countries to join forces to attack Qin. After the joint attack on Qin failed, he went to Qi to serve as the prime minister. From this time on, Su Qin began his most glorious period. After he became the prime minister of Qi, he began to
He secretly helped the State of Yan to persuade other countries to join forces to attack Qi. This move was so powerful. He successfully dragged the State of Qi into the abyss through one of the five realms of the Art of War, making the State of Qi the target of public criticism.
Years later, when the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, Le Yi laid a solid foundation for defeating Qi.
You know, the Qi State at that time was a superpower. The pattern at that time was that Qi and Qin stood side by side in the east and west. The other vassal states were overwhelmed by these two vassal states, and it was such a big country that was suddenly invaded and destroyed.
Collapse, isn’t Su Qin awesome?
Su Qin single-handedly stirred up the changes in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, becoming the only person in history to wear the seal of the Six Kingdoms, and also becoming the most famous executioner in the afterlife in history.
In addition to his strategic ability that deserves our admiration, there are also many stories in his life that are worthy of our study. For example, the deeds of "head cantilevered, cone stabbed buttocks" came from him!
After talking about the combination of vertical and horizontal, it’s time to talk about the horizontal and vertical!
When talking about Lian Heng, we have to mention Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi is an awesome person!
Zhang Yi was a native of the Wei State. He first served as a guest in the Chu State, but was later falsely accused of theft, so he fled to the Qin State, where he was eventually appreciated and reused by King Qin Huiwen.
He served as prime minister of Qin twice. Later, because of disagreement with King Wu of Qin who came to the throne, he fled to Wei and served as prime minister. He eventually died in Wei.
During his tenure as Prime Minister of the Qin State, it was during the period when Gongsun Yan proposed the "United Vertical Alliance" to deal with the Qin State, so he began to advise the King of Qin, and went to various countries alone to lobby for Qin's affairs. He proposed the "Linked Horizontal" strategy, which ultimately defeated the United Vertical Alliance.
, Ling Gongsun Yan’s combined offensive resolved the crisis of Qin’s five kingdoms destroying Qin!
The other implementer of the alliance is Fan Sui. Fan Sui is a godly man. His advantages and disadvantages are very obvious. His advantage is that he is strong in ability and has helped Qin become strong, but his shortcomings cannot be ignored.
That means every penny counts. If someone is kind to him, he will definitely repay him with a drop of kindness like a spring. However, if someone offends him, your little shoes will not be worn out. How will you die in the end?
Don’t even know!
Fan Sui first worked as a retainer of Wei Qi in the Wei State, and was later falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy. The next thing is funny, he was persecuted by the Wei State, and when he died, he was in the toilet of Zheng Anping, the director of the toilet at the time.
With the help of Zheng Anping, they faked their own death and were rescued by Zheng Anping and brought to Qin. From then on, their careers began to get out of hand!
Here I want to emphasize the identity of his savior Zheng Anping. He
He was the director of the toilet at that time. To put it bluntly, he was the one who collected feces. Why should we emphasize his identity? You will find out in a moment!
After Fan Sui fled to Qin, he was appreciated by Qin Zhaoxiang King Ying Ji and became a guest minister. Later, due to his outstanding performance, he became the prime minister of Qin.
Next, he proposed the famous strategy of "distant friendship and close attack". It was said that it was a distant friendship and close attack, but in fact it was a continuous and horizontal strategy, because he was befriending Qi, the same big country as Qin. With the help of Fan Sui's distant friendship and close attack + continuous horizontal tactics,
The Qin State captured a lot of territory, and even crippled another established power, the Zhao State! This laid a solid foundation for Qin State to unify the world in the future!
However, he was at odds with Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, the God of War of the Qin State at that time. He was afraid that Lord Wu'an Bai Qi would become more powerful than himself, so after the Battle of Changping, he was bribed by the State of Zhao to falsely accuse the general Bai Qi, which made Bai Qi
Killed.
Next, the exciting part came. Qin State did not have Bai Qi, but the war still had to be fought. At that time, Zhao State had been crippled. King Zhaoxiang of Qin Yingji was eager to destroy Zhao, so Fan Sui recommended to King Zhaoxiang of Qin Yingji
He appointed Zheng Anping, who had saved him, as a general.
This is the general who takes over the position of Bai Qi, the God of War, and leads the three armies of Qin State, and uses the whole country to attack Zhao State!
Why did we emphasize the occupation of Fan Sui's savior Zheng Anping before? It was to form a sharp contrast with the present. A toilet director served as the general of Qin's attack on Zhao? Isn't this too naughty and funny? What?
Is it time for a toilet keeper to hold the position of general?
Why? This starts from Fan Sui’s character. Fan Sui is a person who must repay every penny he spends and has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. He will not let go of anyone who has persecuted him, but he will not let go of anyone who is kind to him.
He will never forget a single thing. Isn’t this retribution coming? Even if you were just a toilet manager before, you saved my life, so I can’t let you down! That’s why he recommended Zheng Zheng to Qin Zhaoxiang King Ying Ji.
Anping!
The result is also obvious. Although Zhao State has been crippled by Qin, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. Zhao State is an established power after all. Even if it is crippled, it is definitely not something that Zheng Anping can deal with.
Yes! It turned out that Zheng Anping was incompetent. When he attacked Zhao State, he led his army to surrender to Zhao State after being surrounded. Fan Ju definitely couldn't escape. The person he recommended had such a big thing happen to him. It was the fault of King Qin Zhaoxiang Ying Ji Fang.
He and everyone in the Qin State also needed an explanation. In the end, Fan Sui was implicated by Zheng Anping and lost power, and died of illness soon after.
Wei Bin has long understood the strategy of joint vertical and horizontal alliances during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Why did the seven or eight countries, large and small, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because of the one-sided words of Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan and others?
Just agree to their strategy and go deal with others? It’s too easy! Use coercion and inducement!
What are they worried about? Being destroyed by a big country, and the so-called big country here is the Nirvana Fleet. They are worried that the Nirvana Fleet will continue to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and cooperate with other maritime forces to cause trouble!
And what do they want? Money. As long as they have money, they can expand their fleet. Now that the fleet is powerful, who will be afraid of Nirvana transnational coming to cause trouble?
Why did Wei Bin's assets of 1.3 billion gold coins be mentioned earlier? Why did your other five maritime powers come to destroy our Nirvana fleet? Isn't it for survival and profit? As long as Wei Bin makes full use of the joint vertical strategy, before they
If you sow discord among the five families, win over one or two of them, give them some money, and ask them to withdraw from the alliance, will the remaining three or four families come all the way to attack the Nirvana Fleet?
The answer is obvious. Even if the combined strength of the five of them is slightly stronger than the Nirvana side, after losing one of them, their strength will be at most the same as the Nirvana side. If two of them are removed, then the strength of the three of them will definitely be inferior.
Nirvana is on the side. In this case, who would take action against the Nirvana fleet? Isn’t that looking for a fight?
