Chapter 291 It's time to prepare to send troops to Yan Kingdom
Zhao Dan did not intend to tell the ministers of Zhao in front of him immediately.
Although these ministers of Zhao State can be regarded as top talents in the world today, after all, the limitations of the times are here. It is undoubtedly too naive to make these ministers of Zhao State believe Zhao Dan's words.
Zhao Dan even wondered in his heart if he really told the scene of industrialization and modernization in his later generations in his mind, would he feel that he was crazy by these ministers of Zhao State.
Sometimes things that are too advanced should not be described in advance, but should wait until these ministers of Zhao witnessed them with their own eyes before they can become more acceptable.
It's like in 1900, if someone told an earthling that one day in the future, people living on the earth could call people tens of thousands of miles away by pressing a few numbers with a strange rectangular glass thing, then the earthlings from 1900 would definitely think that this person's brain was abnormal.
In addition, new things always pose challenges to the old forces, leading to a counterattack by the old forces.
Copernicus was burned to death when he proposed the heliocentric theory, Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Roman Inquisition, and Bruno was sentenced to burn for opposing religious theology.
When the feudal landlord class appeared, it was strongly opposed by the slave owners and nobles.
When the bourgeoisie first appeared, it was also bloody suppression by feudal landlords.
More than 20 years before Zhao Dan traveled, the more advanced Red Clan had just encountered the biggest setback on the earth. The Soviet Union, the leader of the Red Clan, collapsed under the siege of bourgeois countries led by the US imperialists. The entire Europe was completely counterattacked by the bourgeoisie, leaving only Zhao Dan's mother country, the great Eastern power, struggling to support it and encountered countless unfair treatment.
With the continuous development of productivity, new production relations will inevitably replace the old production relations. However, during the replacement of new and old production relations, it is not beautiful, harmonious and harmonious, but full of blood and cruelty. It is a long struggle that neither side can compromise, and life-and-death struggle.
Today, the land of China in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is actually still in the last period of slave owners and nobles. The six countries in Shandong have more or less influenced by slave owners and nobles. Only after Shang Yang's reforms, the emerging Qin State was the representative of the feudal military merits and landlord class.
It is precisely because the new production relations of the feudal military merits and landlord class represented by Qin State adapted to the development needs of productivity that Qin State was able to strive for a country located in a remote western border and considered barbarians by the Central Plains countries and ultimately unify the world.
From this perspective, whether it is the victory of Qin or the failure of the six Eastern countries, it is ultimately a system issue.
Excellent systems may encounter short-term failures, but they will definitely defeat backward and corrupt systems. This is a historical necessity, and it has been like this throughout history.
This is the greatness of Shang Yang's reforms. It is precisely because this Shang king completely changed the system of Qin and made Qin truly surpass the six Eastern countries in the era at that time, and that the Qin State had the foundation for the unification of the world.
Although Shang Yang is a man of many controversies, from this point of view, his contributions are definitely unprecedented in the history of the Legalists and even in China.
Because of this, Zhao Dan had already made up his mind at the beginning of his time travel that he not only wanted to compete with Qin in national strategies and diplomatic positions, but also in internal strength, that is, to catch up or even surpass Qin in national systems.
Only by cultivating both inside and outside can Zhao State have the hope of completely changing history and becoming a country that can truly unify the land of China.
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhao Dan's mind, but these were actually only a matter of seconds.
Therefore, in the eyes of several ministers of Zhao, Zhao Dan only lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds. Then he raised his head in a bright sunshine, smiled at the ministers in front of him and said, "Very good. Since the war discussion in Hedong County of Qin has ended, then I will ask you to discuss the issue of Yan State with me."
After Zhao Dan finished speaking, he looked up at Miao Xian next to him.
Miao Xian immediately took a step forward and spoke to the ministers of Zhao State in front of him: "According to the news quietly sent back by the people ordered by the King of Yan State Chang, the King of Yan is now incurable, and Yan's return to heaven may be in the near future."
When Zhao State and several ministers heard Miao Xian’s words, they immediately became energetic.
As the saying goes, people will have immediate worries without long-term thinking. Yan State is one of the immediate worries of Zhao State, and it is also a relatively troublesome type.
The king and minister of Zhao have always been worried about some of the hearts, just because they are worried about when the King of Yan's illness suddenly recovered.
If the King of Yan's illness was really cured, then Yan State might have stabbed Zhao State from behind quietly, just like during the Battle of Changping.
Although Zhao is not afraid of Yan at all, the problem is that if the State of Zhao is going to be attacked from behind every time when Zhao sends troops, then Zhao will not be able to go west or south to deal with other powerful enemies with all his might.
Therefore, after hearing the news that King Yan was about to die, the atmosphere in the hall became a little cheerful for a moment.
Zhao Dan also smiled on his face and said to the ministers present: "According to the current situation, once the King of Yan dies, then Prince An will undoubtedly become the candidate for the next King of Yan. However, I have decided to support Prince Ke, the son of Queen Yan, as the next King of Yan. I wonder what the Lords think?"
In fact, Zhao Dan's thoughts had already been angry with the ministers present. The reason why he asked again this time was just to unify his thoughts for the last time before taking action against Yan.
Sure enough, all the ministers present had no comments on Zhao Dan's issue and expressed their agreement.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Sheng said to Zhao Dan: "King, now the main force of the Southern Army is fighting against the Qin people in the Hedong Army. If the King's plan is followed, then the attack on Yan State is obviously inevitable. So is the King planning to use the main force of the Northern Army to go north?"
In this battle between the Three Jin coalition forces invaded Qin, the 100,000 troops dispatched by Zhao State were mainly built with the Southern Army, which was originally stationed in the Southern Great Wall as the core team, so now there is only an elite Central Army like the Northern Army left in Zhao State.
In the view of Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of Zhao State, no matter what, Yan State is one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. If you want to defeat Yan State, you must have an elite force.
