Chapter 61: Military Movement (2)
General Rongfu has returned to his seat and sat down, and the meeting continues.
Mr. Lu Zhonglian only asked one question:
"The king, is it appropriate to tell me about the situation of Prime Minister Su and Generals and Prime Ministers going to various countries?"
After Su Dai and Jiang Qu returned to Jidu, they happened to meet the death of Ji Kang's father, King Xiaocheng.
The two of them just briefly reported to Ji Kang and did not elaborate on it in detail.
The army was about to conquer, and the attitudes of various countries towards Yan State were very important at this time.
The suggestion of the Prime Minister Lu Zhonglian was also the basis for this meeting, and Ji Kang was in no way possible.
Ji Kang said to Su Dai and Jiang Qu:
"Super Su, General, you two will tell me and the ministers about your details about your trip to various countries."
Su Dai first talked about his experience of lobbying with Jiang Qu and his two men to Zhao State.
Then he explained in detail the situation of his mission to Han and Qin, meeting Han King Ran and Qin King Yingji.
The Prime Minister of the Pavilion, Qu, talked to Ji Kang and others about his trip to Wei and Chu.
"When I went to Wei State, King Wei personally met with the Wei State. When I was about to offer the gifts given to the King of Wei by the previous king and the crown prince, King Wei was very happy. He told me that he would like to join our Yan State to become a friendly country and not violate each other..."
"As for Chu, it was completely within the expectations of our king and all the ministers. King Xiong Wan of Chu and the imperial court Huang Xie wanted our country to recognize its occupation of Lu. I was accused of this matter at that time according to my king's advice."
"The King of Chu Xiong Wan and the King of the Order Huang Xie were both very happy at that time. They also promised to form a friendly country with our Yan State, and hoped that our Yan State could help Chu to resist Qin State at critical moments. The minister only said that he would report to my king after returning to the country..."
Su Dai added: "The king, I sent the eldest son Liao Shan to Linzi, the capital of Qi. I just returned to Jidu yesterday and said that the king and queen of Qi were in charge of the rule, and all state affairs were decided, and King Jian of Qi followed his mother's order."
"This queen valued his relatives, so that his younger brother Housheng could control the government and exclude the promising people of Qi. Housheng was insatiable. Seeing that the former king and the crown prince gave the queen and the king Jian of Qi, two sets of glassware, they actually asked Liao Shan for public requests."
Everyone was very interesting to hear this.
Ji Kang asked Mr. Su Dai with a smile: "What's the result?"
Mr. Su Dai laughed and reported to Ji Kang: "At that time, Liao Shan said that this thing is precious, and there are not many in Yan State. After returning to China, he will report to my king, prepare a set for him and send someone to him."
After hearing Mr. Su Dai's words, everyone burst into laughter.
Mr. Su Dai continued: "The king is the priest of the Jixia Academy, Mr. Xunzi, who also wrote to the emperor and the queen and the king of Qi several times to express the good strategies of the country. However, his opinions were not adopted by the queen and the king of Qi."
"This made Mr. Xunzi very sad. After the New Year, Mr. Xunzi resigned from King Jian of Qi and no longer served as a sacrificial tribute in the school. Instead, he went to Chu to travel. The entire court of Qi and the people were very dissatisfied with the employment of the king and queen."
Ji Kang sighed and said, "Mr. Xunzi is the most talented person in this world. It's a pity that he didn't come to our Yan State. I really hope that all the good talents in the world can come to our Yan State and plan the world's major plans together! What a pity, sigh!"
Mr. Lu Zhonglian, the prime minister of Qi, shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, and sighed and shook his head when it came to the situation of his home country.
Now the Yan army is about to attack Qi, but Qi is still the same!
The Prime Minister of the Pavilion, General Qu, patted Ji Kang's "flatter" and said: "My king loves the talents of the world, and everyone in the world knows it. When the aspiring people in the country today, no one knows that the king was the crown prince, the poem "Short Songs" he wrote was admired by the ministers and the people in the world."
Ji Kang smiled and felt very comfortable and became drunk.
All the court officials looked up at Jiang Qu in surprise and found that the old man was arrogant and looked like everyone was drunk. Everyone said in their hearts: "The "flattering skills" of Jiang Qu are so good!"
Seeing this, Ge Xiangju Xin glared at Old Man Jiangqu.
He quickly coughed a few times and said to Ji Kang:
"King, it seems that the external atmosphere of our Yan State is also more beneficial to our Yan State. At present, King Yingji of Qin will never see our Yan State annexing Qi State, and Qin State is the most likely country to send troops."
"But I think that as long as our army can conquer Linzi as quickly as General Rongfen said, and take over Qi State, even if Qin State is powerless against our Yan State, what about it? "
"On the contrary, what I am worried about is that after our Yan State destroys Qi, all countries will have new views on our Yan State. It is impossible for our Yan State to keep the previous low-key again!"
After hearing Ju Xin's words, everyone agreed with Ju Xin's views.
We looked at Ji Kang together, wanting to see the attitude of the king on this matter.
In the past, Yan State always followed the nine-character policy of "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowing down the struggle for hegemony", and adopted the strategy of "hiding one's strength and raising one's lowliness" mentioned by Ji Kang.
Therefore, the Central Plains countries basically didn't care much about Yan State. Although Ji Kang expanded his territory and destroyed the states and counties in Liao, in the eyes of the Central Plains countries, this was nothing to do with the various countries after all, and it was nothing.
Only two years ago, Yan State sent troops to aid Zhao, killed Qin army generals Meng Ao and Sima Geng, and defeated the Qin army's 150,000 troops, which made other countries alert and had a significantly different attitude towards Yan State.
Ji Kang did not answer immediately, but came to the map habitually.
Looking at the map on the wall, I couldn't calm down for a long time.
I couldn't help but think of my previous life. After China rose, I drew up the "East Sea Air Defense Zone" and proposed the "Belt and Road" policy to the outside world. I faced Western countries led by the world's largest country, suppressing, slandering and preventing them from layer by layer.
Under such circumstances, many domestic "public intellectuals" in China believed that China's foreign policy at that time had been aggressive and the domestic military expenditure was too high. We should continue to adopt the national policy of "hiding one's strength and maintaining a low profile" to avoid such a situation.
Ji Kang thinks this is all "nonsense". Is it possible?
At that time, China's economic volume was already the second in the world by exchange rate; in terms of average purchasing power, it was already the first in the world. Whether it is foreign trade or industrial manufacturing capacity, it is already ranked first in the world.
Such a huge economic volume and such a large scale industrial capacity.
Why, how can you "hide your strength and keep your time"?
Huaxia was called the "infrastructure maniac" at that time, but with the initial completion of high-speed railways and highway networks in China and the completion of other major infrastructure projects, external development has become an inevitable choice.
It is even more impossible to develop military power!
How can a country with the largest foreign trade volume in the world rely on to ensure the interests of overseas Chinese and the safety of its people?
What's more, China at that time had not yet unified the country; there were still tens of thousands of square kilometers of territory disputes with "Asan" in the west; the numerous islands in the South China Sea were also facing encroachment and encroachment by many surrounding countries.
If these problems are not solved, how can we achieve the revival of China?
Even if we want to peacefully resolve these difficult problems, we must also be backed by the national armed forces!
At this time, the external situation of Yan State was much better than Ji Kang's previous life.
With the initial industrialization of Yan State, the national strength of Yan State also grew rapidly in a short period of time.
Compared with the other six countries in the Central Plains, Yan State's current national strength is among the best!
The national strength of the six Central Plains countries is relatively at a low point now.
If Yan State does not seize the opportunity to strengthen itself and realize its dreams in its heart.
So, what's the point of coming to this era?
Ji Kang will always remember what a foreign leader said in his previous life:
"What is truth? The so-called truth is within the range of the cannon."
Yes! My dream is in the horse's hooves of my army and the swords of the soldiers of Yan State.
Thinking of this, Ji Kang's eyes could not help but narrowed slightly.
He slowly said to his several ministers: "If you can't keep it low profile, you won't keep it!"
He paused and said, "With the current national strength of our Yan State, it is impossible for us to hide behind the grass forever and be a rabbit. Now the most important thing is to follow the plan of our Yan State to go south to destroy the Qi State, which is the right time!"
Turning around, Ji Kang said coldly again:
"The person who came here is to write an imperial edict. The order of Wang Shi and Wu Yangjing to lead the third, fourth and tenth army of the army; the order of Le, Bo Wang leads the fifth army of the army, the first and second army of the navy. It is necessary to launch an attack on March 16th."
"Order the first batch of reserve troops of the Second Army, the Seventh Army, the Eighth Army, the Ninth Army, and the Youbeiping, Wuyang, Zhongyang, Hejian, Liaodong, western Liaoning, southern Liaoning, and Seoul to be on standby at any time to support the front-line army."
All the six ministers stood up and bowed to Ji Kang before and said, "According to the king's edict."
Ji Kang looked at the general Rongfu again and said, "General Rong."
Rongfu closed his legs with a "pop" sound, clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, I am here."
"General Rong, you can get up now, go to Hejian, and personally preside over the battle of alignment. The situation of the battle has changed rapidly. You can discuss and decide the battle with all the generals. There is no need to report to me. I and the court will never interfere with you."
"Your Majesty, I understand, I obey the order."
"General Rong, you always remember that I, the ministers, the officials of the court, and even the entire Yan Kingdom, will serve as your backing. You can let go and destroy the State of Qi for me."
After finishing his speech, Ji Kang bowed deeply to Rongfu.
The other ministers followed Ji Kang and bowed deeply to Rongfu.
"King, let's go now. Please wait for the good news from the ministers and the soldiers on the front line!"
Rongfu bowed and returned the gift, turned around, and walked outward.
With the issuance of the edict of King Ji Kang of Yan.
From then on, the entire Yan State had entered a wartime state.
Chapter completed!
