Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Although it is said that Duan Ganzi is a pro-Zhao faction in name, many ministers of Duan Ganzi's faction are actually opposed to forming an alliance with Zhao, but these people are even more opposed to Wei Wuji, so they join Duan Ganzi's side That's all.

Now the meaning of Hu Yiwei sending this list is very obvious. They hope to use this opportunity to cleanse Wei Wuji's forces, and by the way, some ministers who don't like Zhao Guo and oppose Zhao Guo in Wei Guo's political circle are also eliminated. .

Duan Ganzi sneered and said, "Mao Sui is crazy, he really thought he could tell me what to do?"

The man smiled and said, "Mao Sui ordered someone to bring a message to Duan Qing. If people don't want people to know, he must do nothing. It is well known that King Wei hates Wei Wuji and Zhao Guo deeply. A certain high-ranking official of the Wei State and the people of the Zhao State secretly colluded with Duan Qing to do it for himself."

The man stood up, saluted Duan Ganzi with a livid face, and left the living room calmly.

Chapter 5 Thirteen Changes in Gaotang City (fourth update)

It was already the midsummer season, and the air outside Gaotang City began to become scorching hot.

In the city, many craftsmen are busy repairing the houses damaged by the war.

The Zhao army led by Lian Po followed the remnants of the Qi-Wei coalition army led by Wei Wuji and Kuang Liang to the south as early as after that battle, and it is said that they are still attacking Dong'a City.

The current security in this city is mainly in charge of the [-] Zhao troops left by Lian Po.

The whole city seems to have returned to normal. Although the streets are full of Qi accents, the soldiers of Zhao Jun who lined up from time to time have already explained to everyone the fact that the city's Ownership has changed hands.

It is worth mentioning that although it has only been less than half a month, a large number of officials from the Zhao Kingdom have already settled in the city and are beginning to control all aspects of the city.

Perhaps it was because they had only returned to Qi State for a few years, the people in Gaotang City didn't seem to have much attachment to Qi State, and quickly accepted the fact that they were now the people of Zhao State.

Of course, there are not no die-hards who miss Qi.

So on a certain day, Zhao's garrison suddenly launched Operation Thunder. Hundreds of restless elements were arrested and dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market, where they were chopped up and abandoned in public.

After tens of thousands of people witnessed the extremely miserable death of these restless elements, with their intestines bleeding all over the place, Gaotang City became extremely peaceful and peaceful overnight.

Even though there were still some undercurrents surging underground, it had no effect on the overall situation at all.

During this execution that caused a sensation throughout the city, an institution that was completely unknown to the residents of Gaotang City began to appear in people's sight.

Monitor guards.

It was this organization that sounded like surveillance, and found out most of the situation in Gaotang City in just ten days, and then provided information and cooperated with Zhao Guo's garrison to launch this thunderous attack. A big cleaning.

When the people of Gaotang hadn't completely come out of the shock brought about by this thunderous action, another news that shocked the whole city came.

The four great kings Zhao Wang, Qi Wang, Wei Wang, Han Wang and Yan Guo Xiang Bang Le Jian, the actual helm of Yan Guo, will meet in Gaotang City to agree on how this war should end.

This news immediately aroused many discussions among the nearly 20 people in Gaotang City.

Guidefang belongs to the civilian area in Gaotang City. On this day, some bored residents of Qi State gathered together and chatted.

"Tell me, after this Gaotang alliance, is there any hope for us to return to Qi?"

"Ha, you are afraid that your eyelids were covered by the straw mats at home. Now that the Qi army has suffered a disastrous defeat, Dong'a and Linzi are surrounded. If the Yan army hadn't withdrawn from the siege, even the king of Qi would not be able to get out of Linzi. How can we talk about taking back Gao? Don?"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, the people around naturally sighed.

Although he accepted the fact that he was occupied by Zhao State for the second time, after all, many people present here have been from Qi State for many generations.

An old man said tremblingly: "I think back then when King Wei and King Xuan were, our country of Qi was so powerful, now, now."

When the surrounding Gaotang people heard these words, they couldn't help having mixed feelings in their hearts.

Someone said: "There is no need to mention the past. The era of the overlord of the world and the Eastern Emperor has long passed. Since the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, when did Qi become strong? I heard that the King of Qi and the Prime Minister won Playing and singing every night, and accompanied by many beauties, why have you ever cared about our lives?"

No matter at any time, complaining about the country and the rulers is the easiest to find resonance.

So after this complaint started, someone immediately answered: "Exactly, I was originally a farmer outside the city, but since Gaotang returned to Qi a few years ago, the King of Qi sent someone to send people with a radius of [-] miles to the top of the city. Thousands of households were all moved into the city, and their agricultural status was reduced to industrial status, and the original land was occupied by the nobles of the Tian clan of Qi State."

Another person said: "Besides, the state of Zhao pays one tax per ten, while the state of Qi pays one tax per eight. In terms of taxation, it is much heavier than that of Zhao state. Moreover, Zhao state is far inferior to Qi state in terms of arable land. The king of Qi collects taxes. It's so important, but the strength of the armor is far inferior to that of Zhao Guo, and it's even better when fighting!" The words were full of dissatisfaction and sarcasm.

After a lot of mocking Qi Guo, everyone seemed to be in a better mood, so the topic began to change again.

"If you put it that way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with being a citizen of Zhao Guo."

"That's natural, and you don't even think about it. Over the past few years, the Zhao Kingdom has always expanded abroad. How has it ever been beaten? Being a citizen of the Zhao Kingdom is naturally very good."

"You are talking nonsense. Don't forget that there was a Battle of Handan last year."

"Hey, the Battle of Handan? I'm afraid you don't know. In the Battle of Handan, in order to prevent the people in the city from starving to death, King Zhao exchanged his title with the ministers and officials for food. Just ask you. Handan has been besieged for several months like that, will King Qi follow the example of King Zhao?"

"Of course not."

"How can the King of Qi care about our lives and the lives of the heads of Guizhou?"

"I'm afraid we will be ordered to donate food at that time for the defenders to eat."

So there was another denunciation of the ruling class of the Qi country.

"In that case, it's better to be a native of Zhao."

"That's natural. We, the head of Guizhou, just need to live in peace. No matter what Zhao Wang Qi Wang is, he is a king anyway. Don't rebel, rebellion will lead to death."

"Precisely, you didn't see those people who cut the waist and abandoned the city a few days ago, none of them secretly instigated rebellion, and now they are all dead. Besides, Zhao State is the most powerful country in the world. How can it not be stronger than Qi State?"

"That's right. If we become Zhao people, there will be fewer military disasters in the future."

As soon as Zhao Guo's benefits were mentioned, the atmosphere suddenly became a little heated again.

"Don't forget, Zhao State has the same military merit system as Qin State. If we go to join the Zhao army and decapitate and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, then we may be able to get the land."

"Land? Zhao Guo has so much land?" Someone expressed doubts.

"Hey, this is why you don't know. Zhao Guo has now captured the East River from the Qin State, destroyed Linhu and obtained the Hetao, and now has defeated the Qi State to obtain the Gaotang. There is a lot of land! Dong County, when you came back, you told me that there is still a lot of uncultivated land over there, many of which are Shangtian, and the last one is Zhongtian!"

"Hey, no one is farming the Shangtian and Zhongtian?" Many Qi people who were watching were stunned, and hurriedly asked: "Why is this? Could it be that those are all the lands of the Zhao royal family and the officials?"

"No, no, it's because the population of Zhao is sparse, and there is still a lot of surplus after the land is allocated to the meritorious."

This finally ignited the passion of the people of Qi.

"The king of Qi ordered us to join the army, and he always only pays the salary and does not grant the land. This country of Zhao actually grants the land for meritorious service, and can still have the land?"

The speaker swore: "That's natural, we have been neighbors for decades, why did I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can go to the officials of Zhao State in the city and ask yourself!"

As a result, the enthusiasm of the people of Qi State became even higher.

"Zhao Guo is so good, I want to be a Zhao Guoren!"

"Exactly, I have two sons who have grown up, and I will ask them tomorrow to see if they can join the Zhao army!"

Similar conversations are happening in many places in Gaotang City.
