The coalition forces also failed to defeat Qin. Except for Zhao, Wei ceded several important cities and completely lost the right to take the initiative to attack Qin. Qin firmly occupied Nanyang, as well as Chu's important role in supporting South Korea.
In this section, Chu State ceded all the cities bordering South Korea and lost the power to attack the Sanjin area. South Korea paid the most painful price. Qin State directly established Sanchuan County on the land ceded by South Korea.
This directly threatened Daliang, the capital of Wei State.
Only the State of Zhao did not pay a price. The State of Qin seemed to be strong, but it was not easy for the State of Qin to persist in this war. In the battle with the coalition forces, the State of Qin paid a heavy price, and it took a long time to recover.
National strength. Therefore, facing Wei Wuji, who still retained his strength, and Zhao Guo, who still had the strength to fight, Fan Ju did not press any more. The "brotherly states" should have been in harmony with each other.
General Jingyang led his army back to the Chu State to fight, and quickly put down the domestic rebels. The hastily raised troops in the country were no match for the Chu State elites who fought bloody battles with the Qin army on the front line. Although these Chu State elites
They were no match for the Qin people, but the long-term war had made them very powerful. Jingyang did not rush forward and fought steadily. In less than two months, he finally eliminated the endless rebels.
The King of Chu issued an order to pardon or reduce taxes and corvees in various places, which calmed the outbreak of public resentment. The King of Chu even welcomed all the warriors who returned to the Chu Kingdom like heroes. He led the nobles in the city and happily
After walking out of Shouchun, General Jingyang lowered his head and looked particularly depressed. However, King Chu grabbed his hand and loudly told everyone about General Jingyang's contribution on the front line and his achievements in resisting Bai Qi.
The King of Chu used his wealth to reward the returning army from the expedition. From the generals to the soldiers, everyone was rewarded by the King of Chu. Even Lord Chun Shen, who was seriously ill, also came to Chu.
At the king's banquet? He apologized to everyone in person and begged General Jingyang for forgiveness? Jingyang naturally had no idea of blaming him? Speaking of which, Chun Shenjun had nothing to blame at all.
In the past, Jingyang despised Lord Chunshen because he only wanted to please Qin and did not dare to fight with Qin. Faced with the rudeness and arrogance of the Qin people, Lord Chunshen just wanted to compromise.
Giving his own gifts to King Qin and Fan Ju, pretending to be flattering? But at this moment? Jingyang really understood the weak man in front of him, and he finally understood why Lord Chun Shen had to be patient all the time.
The Chu State is not the opponent of the Qin State. Because of the previous disastrous defeat, the Chu State did not have enough food or weapons? Chun Shenjun has told everyone many times before? He has always emphasized that the Chu State should do
Not to confront Qin head-on, but to continuously accumulate strength and increase power, and to unite other countries to attack Qin. However, his words were regarded as cowardice by everyone, as if he was just talking to cover up his own cowardice.
But now, Jingyang really understands Chun Shenjun's thoughts. The Chu State without food reserves is simply unable to engage in a head-on battle with the Qin State, because recruiting too many soldiers will affect farming, and not having enough food reserves will make
The Chu State fell into a vicious cycle. There was not enough ordnance, so the Chu people could only go to the battlefield empty-handed or carrying farm tools, hoping to defeat the Qin people. This was really a bit wishful thinking.
Therefore, when facing Chun Shenjun, Jingyang only had guilt and regret on his face. Jingyang had always been the main war party. He tried to insult Chun Shen Jun for his cowardice and persuaded the King of Chu to regain Chu's territory.
He didn't dare to look into Chun Shenjun's eyes, or the man who took the blame for his crime. But Huang Xie took the initiative to hold Jingyang's hand and said with a smile: "Now, I can drink with you."
."
King Chu looked at the ministers at the banquet and did not blame anyone. He smiled as if he had completely forgotten the shame of defeat. The same was true for the ministers. They listened to songs and danced, and they were all so happy with each other.
The shadow of defeat was forgotten. Soon, Chu State began to implement a series of systems to restore national strength, including forcibly allocating cattle, encouraging mulberry farming, freeing slaves and retainers, etc.
Apart from these things, Huang Xie had his own ideas on the issue of "Ma Fu Shu" which caused a greater sensation in the local area.
Huang Xie chose to disclose the "Ma Fu Shu" that was rampant in the country. He found that the more he banned such books, the greater the influence of this book. Therefore, Huang Xie and his people collected a lot of books.
Ma Fu Jun's work was revised. During this period, he was surprised to find that "Ma Fu Shu" had become thicker again. It turned out to be because Zhao Kuo used some new remarks when teaching his disciples. Huang Xie immediately listed them
These produced the official version of Chu State's "Ma Fu Shu: The Seventh Year of the King".
Immediately it began to be widely disseminated. The version revised by Huang Xie intentionally reduced the concept of great unity, but vigorously promoted the idea of benevolent government, and even combined it with the recent system of Chu State.
As if the Chu State wanted to imitate Ma Fujun in implementing benevolent policies, it immediately revised the tax rate, reduced the frequency of corvee labor, etc., and wrote a big book about this matter. The Chu people who were still angry and sad finally saw it.
At the first glimmer of dawn, they cheered up again and began to devote themselves to farming.
The true meaning of "Ma Fu Shu" and the system he mentioned have finally spread their influence in various countries. Qi State, which attaches great importance to theory, will naturally not miss this book. King Qi collected Zhao's
It also collects the original Chinese manuscripts recording Zhao Kuo's words and deeds, the Qin version of "Ma Fu Shu", the abridged Chu version of "Ma Fu Shu" written by Qin and spread in Chu, and the Chu version of "Ma Fu Shu" written by Huang Xie of Chu
"Book: The Seventh Year of the King", we have produced a set of Qi State Edition "Quanma Fu Shu" which is quite thick and has been filled with deficiencies and omissions. The four volumes are combined into one.
Suddenly, these works and books began to spread widely. After Zhao Kuo arrived at this era, in order to prevent his memory from gradually declining, and to teach Han Fei, he told Han Fei all his experiences in later generations. Of course,
This is very cumbersome. Basically, you just say what comes to mind, and what Han Fei asks you. It includes the imperial examination system, filial piety and integrity, and even civil service examinations and other methods for selecting officials.
It also included political content on monarchy, constitutionalism, republic, etc. He gave the countries of later generations ancient names and told them directly to Han Fei. Although Han Fei thought what the teacher said was a bit ridiculous, he still recorded it.
Next, after talking about law, politics, diplomacy, history, military and other aspects, Zhao Kuo also talked about astronomy, geography, several simple scientific principles that will be proposed later, and some mathematical concepts.
It's just that Zhao Kuo's science has always been very poor. He only proposed in this regard that the place we live in is a sphere, the moon revolves around the earth, and the earth revolves around the sun. What about universal gravitation? There are land and oceans on the earth, the lever law, and water vapor.
Power, machinery to facilitate life and so on, these are all the junior high school knowledge he can think of... Zhao Kuo is very bad. Almost all the people who came after him can say a few words about these things he said. Han Fei is very good because he carries out these
Summary.
He classified them according to different theories, starting with the core unified theory, followed by political systems, law, diplomacy, history, military, etc., and then science, mathematics, astronomy, geography, and logic that he himself could not understand.
There are also miscellaneous articles on things like learning, etc. The miscellaneous articles contain content that Han Fei thinks is not important, such as basketball, football, etc., as well as five-character poems, lyrics, music, musical instruments, comics, acting, Peking opera...
Therefore, when these manuscripts spread to the Qin State, the King of Qin would be so surprised, and Fan Ju had no intention of comparison at all. Zhao Kuo almost summarized two thousand years of experience.
Fan Ju compiled these into "Ma Fu Shu". The people of Qin were rigorous. The advantage of being rigorous was that they would not make up nonsense and would respect Zhao Kuo's original work. But even so, Fan Ju still removed those things that were too shocking.
, the people elected the king, and the people will be the masters of the future. Fan Ju felt ridiculous when he read it. He never thought that even a person like Ma Fujun would admire the ancient times and want to restore the kind of national discussion in the ancient times.
, the matter of Mingjun’s surrender.
As for astronomy and geography, this era is much freer, and anyone can put forward their own views on the world, so there is no deletion.
Just because the Qin people valued ghosts and gods, the atheism proposed by Zhao Kuo was deleted.
As for the miscellaneous articles, haha, what kind of football do we Qin people play?
But even so, "Ma Fu Shu" involves too much content, covers almost everything, and seriously challenges all doctrines. This makes many schools of thought angry. Most of them only study one field. You are better, this is
Want to catch us all??
If an ordinary person writes such a book, he will definitely be rejected by everyone, or simply considered a madman, because the content in his book is simply unacceptable. However, the author of this book is not an ordinary person.
Man, it was Ma Fujun who said these words. Ma Fujun was a wise man who was admired by everyone. Therefore, after five versions of "Ma Fu Shu" were circulated, he finally exerted his due influence.
In 265 BC, all countries stopped the war unanimously, and their goals were set on the "Ma Fu Shu". Different people can always see different things from the book. King Qin read from the book
When the great unification came, Bai Qi learned about attacking the mind from the book, Qin officials learned about the rule of law from the book, Huang Xie learned about governing the country from the book, and some wise men in the country began to study the systems proposed by Ma Fujun. Is it feasible?
Some military generals began to study the war theory proposed by Ma Fujun. The Mohists began to study what Ma Fujun said about water vapor as the power and the machines he proposed. Some scholars began to experiment with the law of levers. Some people were ready to follow the map given by Ma Fujun.
Explore the world... Of course, the most unexpected thing is that some people started to play the games in the miscellaneous chapters of "Ma Fu Shu", and these games are quite popular.
It was as if Zhao Kuo suddenly opened up a whole new world to people in this world, refreshing all their perceptions.
But this also caused public outrage. Many scholars and sages began to criticize "Ma Fu Shu", so "Criticizing Ma Fu Shu" and "On Ma Fu Shu" were born, which were dedicated to studying and criticizing Zhao Kuo.
Books, for a time, even the common people of various countries knew that there was such a magical book... King Zhao was not willing to lag behind after learning about the affairs of various countries. He hurriedly found Han Fei and got the most authentic copy of "The Kingdom of Zhao".
"Ma Fu Jun Shu".
This version of the Horse Service Book was also accepted by South Korea and Wei. The Yan State was the laziest. They directly found various versions of the Horse Service Book... without making any more copies, and did not express their position on which version they accepted.
The "Book of Horse Service", which gradually became more comprehensive, became popular in various places and became a must-read book for nobles. If you have not read "Book of Horse Service", you will not know what to brag about when chatting with your friends.
But even though the amount of dissemination is astonishing, voices of opposition and questioning are still emerging one after another. No one, no one at all, fully accepts the knowledge of "Ma Fu Shu", including Han Fei, who does not agree with some of the remarks made by the teacher. These things are too
It was ahead of its time. Therefore, some people today accept some of these theories, some use part of their knowledge, and some completely deny them.
Ma Fujun once again became famous among the countries. This time, it was no longer because of any benevolent actions he had done or which powerful enemy he defeated. This time he became famous for his doctrines. He seemed to have become a recognized figure by everyone.
A sage was classified as a miscellaneous family. However, the number of people who regarded him as an enemy and criticized his teachings increased day by day. A large number of scholars rushed to Zhao State from various places.
Scholars from various factions began to rush to Mafu. Some wanted to discuss knowledge with him, some wanted to make him admit his mistakes, and some wanted to learn from him.
It is said that a "debate" broke out between Chu Mo and Chu Ru. No one knew why they were having a debate. However, the content of the debate was about Ma Fujun. This is no longer a secret. After a debate, scholars from both sides came to an unprecedented conclusion.
, the Confucianists actually won the victory. Six of Chu Mo's disciples were seriously injured, twelve disciples were slightly injured, and the Confucianists only had five slightly injured disciples. This is surprising, because in the long-term debate between the two sides, the Confucianists rarely
able to take advantage.
Only later did I learn that there were quite a few Gongyang Confucians among these Confucian scholars. What was even more difficult to understand was that these people were actually sent by Xunzi. You must know that Xunzi scolded all Confucian scholars. Gongyang Confucianism
Confucianism was not spared.
Xunzi once said: "Wearing a hat crookedly, speaking insipidly, imitating Yu's limp, imitating Shun's walking briskly, this is a cheap Confucian of Zizhang's school. His clothes are neat, his face is serious, and he seems to have something in his mouth.
Sitting silently all day, this is the despicable Confucianism of Zixia's school. He is lazy and afraid of getting into trouble, has no sense of shame and is keen on eating and drinking, and always says, "A gentleman does not have to do manual labor." This is the despicable Confucianism of Ziyou's school.
."
But now he sent "cheap Confucians" to stop Chu Mo, which is really hard to understand.
Unfortunately, Xunzi was only able to stop some people. After several versions of "Ma Fu Shu" spread throughout the country, Xunzi was powerless.
The sages held their swords and rushed towards the horse uniforms, cursing.
