Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Perhaps, the widow really needs a few people to share the pressure on the widow's shoulders for the widow

Han Wangran took a deep breath, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and said slowly: "Jin Qing, do you know why the widow called you here?"

Jin Yan said in a deep voice: "I don't know, but I still invite the king to come, and I will do my best to relieve the king's worries."

Han Wangran sighed secretly in his heart.

After all, this Jin Yan was from the army, so he was somewhat dull.

Han Wangran coughed and continued: "Jin Qing should know that the current state of Zhao has destroyed the state of Yan, and the widow has always had a bad feeling recently, that is, the next target of the state of Zhao is likely to be the widow and the state of Yan." South Korea. Jin Qingru said, if Zhao Wang really brazenly invaded, what should I do?"

Jin Bing thought for a while, and agreed with Han Wangran's words: "What the king said is very true. Looking at Zhao's actions, the ambition to annex the world has now been fully exposed. Even if the next target is not South Korea, it should be prepared as soon as possible. , so as not to be unprepared when the time comes. I feel that if we want to resist Zhao Guo's attack, there are nothing more than two paths."

Han Wangran's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Which two?"

Jin Fu said: "First of all, Your Majesty must vigorously develop armaments, recruit more young and strong men to join the army for training, and let Yiyang City, Wancheng Dengcheng and other places do their best to build armor and equipment. As long as there is a piece of equipment that is sharp enough, At the same time, if you have a well-trained and strong army, you can calmly deal with Zhao's attack, and you don't need to panic at all."

Han Wangran couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, and said, "Although that's the case, it's not easy to say."

In the Battle of Suiyang City last year, the main elite of the Han army suffered extremely serious losses. Only less than 15 of the 3 elites finally fled back.

Although Han Wangran redeemed another 4 people through negotiations later, Han Wangran really didn't have much confidence in his heart to resist Zhao Guo only by relying on the [-] troops who had suffered a lot under Zhao Guo's hands.

In fact, in the past year, Han Wangran has instructed Jin Yan to gradually replenish the South Korean army to 10 people, and many weapons and armor are also being produced, but at this moment, Han Wangran suddenly feels that this 10 people It seems that people are not enough.

Han Wangran took a deep breath and said, "Jin Qing, do you think it's time to expand the number of troops?"

Jin Yan nodded almost without hesitation, and said: "Your Majesty, that's the case! I think the number of 20 is too small now, and at least the army needs to be expanded to more than 30 to be able to defend against Zhao's attack. Only an army of 40 can hope to completely stop Zhao Guo's attack, and if there are [-] troops, maybe we can find a chance to fight Zhao Guo!"

When Jin Yan said these words, the eyes of the whole person shone with light.

Contrary to Jin Yan, Han Wangran's eyes widened on the other side: "30, 40? Impossible!"

A very obvious fact is that South Korea does not actually have such a large population and resources to support an army of 40 people.

Jin Yan nodded and said: "Of course I know, so I actually have a proposal. If the king agrees to this proposal, then I can guarantee that South Korea will have [-] to [-] more available soldiers at once. If Zhao Guo comes to attack, Your Majesty has more troops to resist!"

Han Wang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jin Yan in disbelief, making sure that the other party was not joking, and then said: "Could it be that Jin Qing wants to go south to attack Chu State? Now that Zhao Guohuan is by his side, if the widow and Wouldn't it be easy for the Chu State to fall into a situation where the enemy would be attacked?"

Jin Yan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood. Now that Zhao Guohu sees the world, it is time to unite Chu, Qin, Qi and other countries to resist the mighty Zhao. How can we easily start a war against Chu?"

Han Wangran was puzzled and said, "Since it's not the state of Chu, it can't be the state of Qin, right?"

Jin Yan laughed: "Of course it's not Qin."

"Then what is the solution? Don't be a fool, come quickly!" Obviously, Han Wangran didn't like the situation where his IQ was overwhelmed by his courtiers, and he had already begun to take on a somewhat dissatisfied look when he spoke.

Jin Fu is also an old man who has followed Han Wangran for many years, so why doesn't he know how his own king behaves?Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister's strategy is actually very simple, that is to take Luoyi!"

"Luoyi?" Han Wangran was shocked violently.

"Luoyi." Jin Yan nodded vigorously, and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget that there are tens of thousands of people in Luoyi City today. Once the King can completely take Luoyi, then you can have enough people." Soldiers and supplies to fight Zhao's upcoming invasion!"

Han Wangran was silent.

From a rational point of view, he knew that what Jin Yan said was actually correct.

Although the authority of Emperor Zhou has long since disappeared, Luoyi, as the capital of the former king, is still one of the first-class big cities in the Warring States Period because it has rarely suffered wars for many years.

As long as Luoyi is annexed, South Korea's national strength will definitely increase a lot, whether it is population, materials or land.

But the problem is that it is Zhou Tianzi after all!

Although it is said that the heroes of the Warring States have all proclaimed themselves as kings and raised themselves to the same level as the Emperor of Zhou, the Emperor is the Emperor after all. For hundreds of thousands of years, everyone has been the princes of the Zhou Dynasty. It is really

In addition, there is another point that makes Han Wangran hesitant, that is, the South Korea where Han Wangran lives, and his origin is actually from Zhou Tianzi!

The surname of the Han family in South Korea is exactly the surname Ji of Zhou Tianzi.

As a branch family of the emperor's lineage, South Korea, whose surname is Ji Han, is now going to attack the orthodox Emperor Zhou with the surname Ji?

Han Wangran couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

After a while, Han Wangran let out a long sigh and said, "Jin Qing, let me think about it first."

Jin Yan's eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't say much, but bowed in response, and then he left.

Walking outside the entrance of the main hall, Jin Fu only felt a cold wind coming from the north, and a trace of cold air penetrated from the neckline, making his whole body tremble slightly involuntarily.

"It's so indecisive when things come to an end!"

Jin Yan tightened his neckline, and strode into the snowstorm.

Chapter 832 Abdominal Real Surprise (Second Update)

Winter is never a good season, at least for most people in Handan City.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Dan looked at the black smoke rising from every household around him, and asked Mao Sui with some puzzlement: "Is burning firewood for heating so common in Handan City now?"

Mao Sui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know that coal has been used for heating in Handan City."

"Coal for heating?" Zhao Dan couldn't help but froze for a moment.

After Mao Sui's explanation, Zhao Dan slowly understood.

Due to the continuous expansion of Zhao State over the years, the demand for steel has also increased greatly, and the supply of coke needed for steel has also increased accordingly.

As a deep-processing product of coal, coke will inevitably lead to large-scale production of coal. Since Zhao State is located in the "Jin" with the most abundant coal production in China, which is the land of Shanxi, after a few years, Zhao State has now explored Five large coal mines have emerged, and large-scale mining has been carried out, and even the mining volume has exceeded the supply required for blast furnace ironmaking.

Under such circumstances, Zhao State officials began to supply coal to Zhao State residents on a large scale at a cheap price. At first, it was only in the cities around the coal mines, and then gradually continued to expand southward.

Until the year before last, after reporting to Zhao Dan, Yu Xin, who was Zhao’s domestic history at that time, made an important decision: allow Zhao’s merchants to mine and traffic coal, and Zhao’s finances will collect a certain amount of tax .

Different from Qin State, although Zhao State also pays more attention to agriculture, after all, Zhao Dan must understand the truth that the people depend on food, but the commercial atmosphere in Zhao State is also very strong.

In fact, apart from Qin, the attitudes of the other Warring States princes towards business are actually very good. Qi has encouraged business since the time of Guan Zhong, and communicated with other countries to increase Qi's fiscal revenue.

So when coal was opened from a state-owned resource to allow the capital of businessmen to enter, the businessmen suddenly burst into great enthusiasm.

In just two years, coal, a fuel, has become popular throughout Zhao State at a rapid speed, replacing firewood as the new favorite for heating in major cities of Zhao State.

Zhao Dan was also very surprised when Mao Sui told him all this.

In Zhao Dan's impression, it was not until the Han Dynasty that China began to use coke for ironmaking, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that coal as a heating fuel really entered thousands of households.

And now, because of Zhao Dan, the history of large-scale coal use in China has been advanced by 1000 or [-] years!

There is no doubt that this is definitely an improvement.
