The fundamental reason why Chu State was difficult to conquer lay in its political system.

It is different from Qin and the other six countries.

Some people only know that the Six Kingdoms rejected Chu, but they don’t know why they rejected Chu.

Some people also know that the Chu State is called barbarians, but they don't know why they are called that.

To trace the root cause, this historical issue can be traced back to the founding of the Chu State.

From that time on, Chu State was different from other vassal states.

Because the King of Chu was not conferred by the Emperor of Zhou.

Because of its unique geographical location and the numerous vassal states in the north at that time, the phenomenon of big fish eating small fish and small fish touching big fish continued to occur.

This gave Chu the opportunity to concentrate on its development and rise.

At the beginning of the Chu State, some tribes united to call themselves kings in order to resist the powerful vassal states.

The name of the country Chu comes from the fact that the wife of Chu State's first king Yu Xiong, Yi Li, had difficulty in giving birth to Xiong Li and died after a caesarean section. Xiong Li survived and later grew up to be the leader of Chu State.

After Yan Li died, the wizard wrapped her belly with Chu and buried her. Chu is a wattle stick. In order to commemorate her, future generations called themselves Chu.

In order to appreciate Wan Xiong's contribution to the destruction of Shang, King Zhou Cheng made his grandson Sun Xiong Yi a viscount, and then established the Chu Kingdom on his own.

The vassal states rejected the Chu State because it was founded by a viscount and was not enfeoffed by the Emperor of Zhou.

Why do we work so hard, upgrade our titles step by step, and go through several generations of hard work to be able to establish a country, while you, a little viscount, can proclaim yourself the country of Chu?

Although the Chu State once deprived itself of the throne, it later proclaimed itself.

In other words, your Chu country bloodline is not correct.

Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty also caught up with King Zhao of Zhou.

You, a self-proclaimed Chu State, dare to kill the Emperor of Zhou?

The vassal states, which were already displeased with you, exploded in an instant.

In addition to these, Chu State is also incompatible with other countries in various aspects.

Because the Chu State was composed of multiple tribes from the beginning, these tribes had sufficiently high autonomy.

The King of Chu was just a person elected by everyone to talk things over.

Among other countries, only those who have made great contributions to Guo Jia, or whose sons are more talented but have no chance to inherit the throne, will be named kings.

However, the Chu State has more than seventy lords from top to bottom, and all the other countries combined do not have as many lords as the Chu State.

The combined territory of these large and small feudal lords is the territory of Chu State.

So I have nothing to say to you.

But now, even Wang Buxu must be careful about how to deal with the sequelae of Chu State's political model.

This is the reason why Wu Yi and others dared to ask for benefits from Han Xin.

The soldiers under them are their own private soldiers, composed of farmers and farmers under them.

Their lives are in their hands, so they dare not disobey the orders of Wu Yi and others.

And if you follow the rules of the Han army, there may be no problem for a day or two, but as time goes by, problems will arise.

If we don't think of a way to solve this problem now, in the future, those weak-legged people will severely impact their status.

Although the Qin Dynasty implemented the system of prefectures and counties in the old land of Chu, when the Han army blocked Zhang Han's Qin army in the Central Plains,

Various places in the old Chu State took action one after another, restoring the Chu State's territory in a short period of time, and even expanded it a little.

The officials of each county are also held by some old nobles from various places.

Although Qin Shihuang moved a large number of nobles, he could not finish moving them. Each family had a large number of branches left behind.

And now, these people are the people in power in Chu State.

The original nobles divided the official positions at the county and county levels according to their strength.

Although it is still a county on the surface, internally it is the same as during the feudal period.

Wu Yi seemed to think that Han Xin was too young and had not yet understood the meaning of his words.

So he continued: "The general may have misunderstood what we meant. Although we are only a small noble in the Chu State, with less power and land than those big nobles, we can represent more nobles in the Chu State. If the general

Proper placement of us will be helpful in persuading other Chu nobles to surrender. Today we can obey the general's orders, but other Chu nobles may give up the idea of ​​surrendering after seeing what happened to us today...

…”

"The failure of the Chu State has proved that it is useless to enfeoff these nobles, and the current situation of the Chu State has proved that it is difficult for the royal power to govern this place. Do you think that Han will leave such a big hidden danger for itself?" Han Xin

Looking at everyone lightly.

He could understand his thoughts, it was just that he didn't want to give up the power he had gained with great difficulty.

Even if I surrender, I still want to continue fighting so that I can maintain my current life.

There is no problem with preferential treatment, but their demands are contrary to the basic policy of Han Dynasty.

This is a matter of principle and cannot be controlled by Han Xin alone.

Besides...

"I am also a Chu State person. My ancestors are all Chu State people. It's just that I am not as wealthy as you. However, as an ordinary Chu State person, I can tell you that you are self-righteous and regard yourselves as Chu people.

savior, but little did he know that the real Chu people already hate you..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Han Xin's words are quite convincing. As a person from the bottom of Chu State, Han Xin certainly knows the thoughts of the people at the bottom of Chu State.

The aristocratic enfeoffment system can indeed provide a relatively stable environment, but at the same time, exploitation will be more terrifying than elsewhere.

Take a county as an example. Every year, nearly half of the county's output is in the hands of these nobles.

I snatched it from your hands, and then gave you a bite to eat when you couldn't survive. Then you have to be grateful to me, because I am taking care of you, unlike other countries that have no food and no value.

Just wait to starve to death.

Han Xin was able to stand out because, apart from the God-given King of Han, Han Xin himself was among the best in terms of both military force and intelligence.

Especially now that he has experienced the two years of Han Dynasty, and compared with his previous life, Han Xin is almost certain to win 100% in this battle.

Han Xin continued to look at everyone, sighed, and still couldn't hold back: "Don't have any illusions anymore. The people of Chu State had no choice in the past, but now they have some choices. Although Han State's policies have

It's not good for you, but it's good for ordinary people."

"If the Han Dynasty comes, they will no longer have to work hard for you and can support their family by their own work. The Han army is unstoppable, applying benevolent policies along the way, and mercilessly suppressing the nobles everywhere. Not only can they obtain military supplies,

It also allows the common people to see the opposition of the Han army to the nobles."

"You said, if the Han army comes, why would the people at the bottom still work for you?"

"I might as well tell you bluntly that all you rely on are the people's slaves under your hands. Just like you are the boiling water in a pot, and the people's slaves are like the burning firewood at the bottom of the pot. You directly take away the burning firewood. You
