Zhang Ji slowly walked out of the office of Tingwei Mansion, looked at the sparse starry sky, and stretched.
Yes, it was Ying Zheng's idea to visit Tingwei Mansion at night.
Although Wei Liao did not leave a proud record in history like Wang Jian, Meng Ao and others, he was the policy maker of Qin's plan to destroy the six countries.
The Qin State in history originally faced an extremely serious problem. The Qin State had war generals like clouds and fierce generals like rain, but there was a lack of military strategists who were truly familiar with strategy.
Li Si, Wei Zhuang, Wang Wan and others also did not know military affairs, so they could only consider how to attack the six countries of Shandong from a political perspective.
As for Ying Zheng himself, although he is good at scheming, he is better at political strategy. Although he is good at judgment, he lacks strategy.
The situation at that time was that with the power of Qin, it would not be a problem to destroy any of the six Shandong countries alone. However, if the six countries united to fight Qin, the situation would be unpredictable.
Therefore, the thorny issue before the King of Qin was how to stop the "unity" of the six countries, so that the Qin army could quickly subdue the six countries and unify the world with a critical force, and avoid too many entanglements, so as not to consume national power.
Although it is the traditional practice of Qin to drive a wedge between the six countries of Shandong, and Yao Jia, Dun Ruo and others are also engaged in this work, it is still very difficult to decide which method is more beneficial and which country to attack first. question.
Moreover, wiping out the six kingdoms and unifying the world is something that has never been done by anyone in history. Ying Zheng, the young King of Qin, also knew this very well. He did not want to fight an unprepared battle, so Qin urgently needed someone who could A strategist who strategically controls the overall situation and formulates an overall offensive plan.
And Wei Liao was the strategist who formulated the strategy for Qin to unify the world!
But this life is different. Lu Buwei also has a strategic vision that is not inferior to that of Wei Liao, or even worse.
Wei Liao is a military strategist, and his strategic vision is more from a military perspective. However, Lu Buwei's strategic vision is not only from a military perspective, but also comprehensively considers political, economic, cultural and other factors.
Therefore, after Qin conquered Wei, South Korea, and Zhao, these three places were extremely stable, and their rejection of Qin was not strong. Especially Wei and South Korea, they have gradually adapted to the new identity of the Qin people.
Although the people have little culture and may not know much about etiquette, justice and integrity, they know who is kind to them and they know how to be grateful.
Maybe the laws in South Korea are not as strict as those in Qin, but the main targets of Qin's severe punishments are princes, nobles and criminals. As long as they don't do anything illegal, Qin's laws will protect every Qin person. There is also a relatively advanced welfare system.
Even the corvees were provided with food, clothing, and subsidies, which was far better than the days when they were free laborers for the princes and nobles of Korea. At least the Qin State treated the Cangtou Guizhou leaders, although it did not make them live and work in peace and contentment, but it did achieve the goal of winning the government. The original intention - to make the people have something to eat in the morning and evening.
However, Lu Buwei, the current strategy maker of Qin State, is already fifty-six years old after all. He is getting older after all. In the future, Qin State will conquer more than just the six Shandong countries.
King Huiwen of Qin once said that for generations to come, the bright moon of our Qin Dynasty will shine brightly on the window sill of every house.
Maybe the Great Qin Empire in the future will become an empire that "the moon never sets".
Therefore, Zhang Ji personally sent people to collect evidence overnight to prove that Wei Liao was not malicious. He also explained his talents to Ying Zheng and recommended this talented strategist.
However, Wei Liao's incident also reminded Zhang Ji.
It’s time to grab some talents first.
At the end of Qin, countless talents suddenly emerged, and many of them happened to be in their early twenties at the moment, and there were even a group of young children who had not yet been crowned.
As Li Xin, Qiang Yu, Tu Sui, Ren Xiao, Wang Ben and others were gradually promoted to the rank of Zuo Shu Zhang, Zhang Ji's old subordinates all became qualified to lead an army and slowly took over the leadership of the old one. responsibilities of senior generals.
For example, Qiang Yu and Meng Tian would follow Li Mu to take charge of Dai Di, Wang Ben would also follow Wang Jian to take charge of Zhao Di, Li Xin would be stationed at the border of Yan and Zhao, Feng Wuze would be under Li Xin's command, and Tu Sui and Ren Xiao would be fighting under Meng Wu. The State of Chu was watching with eager eyes, and Yang Wengzi also studied the art of war under Wang Jue while stationed at the border of Qin and Qi. Su Jiao and Shejian were the only two people under his command.
However, although Su Jiao and Shejian were excellent executors and generals, they lacked their own subjective initiative and were not generals capable of leading an army alone.
Therefore, Zhang Ji made a list of the talents in the late Qin Dynasty that he could think of.
With his current reputation and status, it would be extremely easy to invite these talents. At least most of them would not refuse.
As for those who refuse... it is best to immediately think of reasons that are enough to convince them when faced with the Eight Linglong and Six Sword Slaves who come to visit in person, as well as a group of murderous snare killers.
…
Zhang Ji walked leisurely, and when he returned to Weiwei's Mansion, there were no lights on in the rooms in the inner house. Zhang Ji couldn't help but stretch when he saw this.
Of course he would not admit that it was not purely out of public interest that he did not go home at midnight and went to Ying Zheng to visit Wei Liao overnight, nor would he admit that he deliberately avoided the conflict between Xue Nu and Yan Lingji.
The rule of the house is that you don't hold grudges overnight. Any conflicts will be dealt with on the spot and will never be postponed until the next day.
Therefore, even if Yuki Onna and Yan Lingji still dislike each other, they can no longer act randomly.
Speaking of which, Yan Lingji hadn't made a fuss for a long time, but this time she caused such a headache. Zhang Ji rubbed his head, thought for a moment, and chose to walk to Mrs. Hu's room.
It has to be said that for him, the most comfortable and secure haven for his wives and concubines is in the arms of Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu neither fights nor robs, she only dotes on him in every possible way. Sometimes Zhang Ji really feels that the relationship between him and Mrs. Hu has become somewhat different due to the age difference, but that kind of gentle temperament still makes Zhang Ji obsessed. He couldn't help himself. Whenever Zhang Ji was troubled, his favorite thing was to spend the night in Mrs. Hu's room.
Zhang Ji pushed the door slightly, only to find that the door was locked.
"That's weird. It's never locked on weekdays. Why today..."
Just when he was wondering why Mrs. Hu, who never locked the door so that he could enter at any time, suddenly locked the door, Zhang Ji suddenly thought of a possibility, such as that there was a troublemaker in the room.
Mrs. Hu almost obeyed her sister Hu Meiren's words about how to get along with Zhang Ji, so she occasionally cooperated with Hu Meiren to give Zhang Ji a special one.
"It seems... I want to play with this trick tonight." Zhang Ji smiled evilly, and condensed a ball of internal force in his hand. The internal force, which was thinner than silk thread, penetrated through the crack of the door, and immediately wrapped around the door latch, pulling the door latch. Opening the door, "Hey hey hey, female donor, I'm going to come in and drink tea with you~"
Zhang Ji rubbed his hands and closed the door softly. Although there was no candle in the room, Zhang Ji went straight to the bed.
