Chapter 563 Mutation 3
The people of the Kingdom of Shang could watch the fire from the other side, but the people of the Kingdom of Zheng could not.
The war came so suddenly that none of Zheng Guo could react! Who would have thought that Cai Guoguo would suddenly "backlash", who would have thought that Chen Guo and Cai Guoguo, who were beating you to death and never ending, would suddenly join forces to attack Zheng Guo?
When Li Xian first received the secret report, he didn't even believe it. The first reaction was - did the intelligence personnel confuse Chen Guo and Zheng Guo or something?
There is a saying that is clear to the bystanders. When even the bystanders are puzzled, it is not difficult to imagine what will happen to the parties!
When Zheng Guo finally reacted and began to mobilize his troops to defend along the way, the coalition forces of Chen Guo and Cai Guo had already advanced thousands of miles, and Zheng Guo lost a quarter of his land.
Influenced by the Kingdom of Shang, the coalition forces of Chen Guo and Cai Guo also adopted the idea of "blitzkrieg". Along the way, artillery, bombs, and machine guns opened the way. In addition, people were also expelled to block the city, etc., which made Zheng Guo's reaction even slower.
"It's too much to bully people!" Emperor Zheng roared and roared again, but none of the ministers dared to speak loudly.
Is it too deceitful? I am afraid it is self-inflicted! The Prime Minister, Taiwei, and Taishi who were still a little sober looked at each other, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
It was Zheng Guo who supported Cai Guo, but now Cai Guo turned around and attacked Zheng Guo.
Yes, from a moral point of view, Cai Guo’s doing this is a bit of revenge; but from a political point of view, Zheng Guo is completely self-inflicted, and his cleverness was misunderstood by his cleverness!
There is also Chen Guo, because of Zheng Guo's support, Cai Guo invaded half of Chen Guo's land and half of the population, and the imperial capital became the front line. Chen Guo naturally gritted their teeth with hatred for Zheng Guo, and even surpassed Cai Guo.
In particular, Chen Guo's current situation is a bit special. What's so special about it? Especially in the chaos, the crown prince of the Chen Kingdom boarded a plane and proclaimed himself emperor, becoming the fourteenth emperor of the Chen Kingdom.
Different from the old emperor, Chen Guoxin's emperor has accepted the influence of Shang Kingdom's thinking in recent years, witnessed the changes before and after the Shang Kingdom, and saw the rapid prosperity of the Tang Kingdom. Therefore, Emperor Chen Guoxin is even more radical!
This radicalization mainly focuses on two aspects:
The first is the emphasis on industry and commerce, technology, handicrafts, etc., especially arms.
The second is that the vision is more open and broad; the thinking is more focused on "commercial profit".
The decision of the old emperor Chen Guo to pass on the throne was not a hot-headed decision, but a well-thought-out decision. Therefore, as soon as Emperor Chen Guoxin came to power, he made an astonishing decision:
He secretly made peace with Cai Guo and jointly attacked Zheng Guo in the north.
All this planning was carried out in secret; when Shang Kingdom's spies got the information, an agreement had already been signed between Chen Guo and Cai Guo.
"Chen Guo and Cai Guo are not equal to each other now, no one can do anything to the other, it is futile to persevere, and even benefit others.
Now, the aura of catastrophe has been revealed, and the Kingdom of Shang and Kingdom of Tang are rising rapidly again. We cannot continue to be rigid and wait; otherwise, what awaits us will only be destruction!
Instead of this, it is better to expand externally and actively look for opportunities! "
This is what Emperor Chen Guoxin said to Emperor Cai, and also to his subjects. And these are the information that Shang Kingdom did not get.
These remarks moved Chen Guo and Cai Guo. It can be summed up in one sentence - interests first, cooperation benefits both.
Therefore, when Zheng Guo was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream, Chen Guo and Cai Guo used the cover of war to mobilize countless military materials and a large number of elite soldiers under the nose of Zheng Guo.
Then, when Zheng Guoren prepared melon seeds and peanut rice tea, Chen Guo and Cai Guo's army invaded Zheng Guo brazenly!
To say that Chen Guo and Cai Guo are not completely united, there is still competition between the two sides; but the joint invasion of Zheng Guo is an indisputable fact.
As soon as this war broke out, the entire eastern countries of Yingzhou were shocked.
Although everyone is fighting openly and covertly, and although Xing Guo, Shao Guo and other countries are fighting abroad and expanding their territory, everyone finally has rules to follow in doing things—at least, things like repaying favors and joining forces with enemies have been restrained for the time being.
Although politics is said to put interests first, maintaining morality itself is also an interest; therefore, politics does not mean that there is no bottom line. It should be said that morality is still an invisible bottom line of politics, and most people and countries will not touch this bottom line casually, let alone cross this bottom line.
Chen Guo joined forces with the enemy to pursue interests together, and attacked Zheng Guo, who was behind the black hands. It can only be said that it was unexpected and still in the category of "rational politics".
But Cai Guo suddenly turned against him, and joined forces with Chen Guo to brazenly send troops to Zheng Guo, which is an absolute white-eyed wolf.
Although Zheng Guo supported Cai Guo with his purpose, political goals, and calculations; but in any case, one fact cannot be denied - when Cai Guo was most desperate, it was Zheng Guo who extended a helping hand!
Anyway, Zheng Guo is the savior of Cai Guo's 40 million people!
"The sky has changed!" Li Yuanming said to Li Xian.
"The gate of chaos has been opened!" Li Yulong said to the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty.
"Morality is beginning to collapse, and the catastrophe begins now!" Shao Guo's prime minister Wan Shunde said to Shao Guo's emperor. "Your Majesty, we should suspend foreign wars, and now we need to shrink our strength and fully develop our country's industrial strength.
In the previous wars, although we were expanding our territory, we were actually testing industries, commerce, and arms to prepare for future changes. Now we have gained enough experience to determine that it is commercially viable.
Therefore, we should go all out to develop industry and commerce. "
Emperor Zhao thought for a while, then nodded immediately, "It really should be changed.
Feng Yaodong (Taiwei), gathered the soldiers, and demarcated the border on the spot; if the people in the occupied area resisted accumulation, all the people would be expelled. But pay attention, don't do evil, don't disturb the people's property, etc.
If the resistance is fierce, causing folk experts to intervene, then you can retreat. In short, stability comes first. "
"Yes." Feng Yaodong left.
The Emperor Shao turned his head to look at Ma Jianqi, the Grand Master next to him, "Grand Master, you have been studying the development of the Shang Kingdom these days, have you gained anything?"
"Your Majesty!" Grand Master Ma Jianqi reported immediately, "Your Majesty, I believe that there are two things that have the greatest impact on the surroundings of the Shang Kingdom.
The first point is industry and commerce. In particular, the national defense system attached to industry and commerce is the object that all countries are vying to imitate.
But the second point, the impact may be even stronger. That is, the ideological emancipation movement of the Kingdom of Shang! "
"Oh? What does that do?"
"Your Majesty, industry and commerce are aimed at the country; but the ideological liberation movement is aimed at individuals. A country is made up of individual people, so the ideological liberation movement is directly aimed at the foundation of the country.
The Kingdom of Shang started the ideological emancipation movement, and it has not stopped until now, but has intensified.
Previously, King Xian's public speech, after saying "what kind of country is needed", pushed the ideological liberation movement of Shang Kingdom to its peak.
However, the ideological liberation movement can shape a powerful Shang Kingdom, but it may not be suitable for us; even, Chen believes that the thoughts of the Shang Kingdom will corrupt our traditional countries! Moreover, there is no way to stop it!
I have been thinking for a long time, and there is only one way to avoid corrosion! "
Emperor Shao frowned, "Is it really so serious? What method?"
