The collapse of a building does not happen suddenly, but signs will appear a long time ago. If repairs are made early, the collapse may be delayed. If these signs are ignored, are there intact eggs under the overturning nest?
Today's chaos in Beidi can be traced back to the National War. When you find that you cannot easily conquer the opponent's defense line, you should withdraw your troops in time to stop losses. Even if you don't withdraw your troops, you should change from large-scale operations to small-scale consumption. war.
Of course, this is an afterthought. In a battle of that intensity, no general, not even Qin Feng, could have such long-term foresight. And in many cases, the decision-making power of whether to fight or not and what kind of war is actually up to him. It is not in the hands of the generals, but depends on the politicians at the rear. In the final analysis, the generals are just implementers, not decision-makers.
This protracted and extremely intense national war has caused far-reaching damage to the beams, and for a militaristic country like Beidi, it is undoubtedly the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Although the war is over, Beidi's treasury is empty and food prices continue to rise. In order to avoid the food crisis, the powerful gentry in various places will naturally spend their money and hoard food, which further pushes up food prices.
On the surface, high food prices will benefit farmers who grow food. However, the problem is that all fertile land in the world is monopolized by powerful landlords, while ordinary people can only rent land for farming. No matter how high the food price is, farmers can hardly afford it. Unable to benefit from it, the final result is still enriching the squire and suffering for the people.
Coupled with this once-in-a-century severe winter, the entire Beidi territory can be described as "people are in dire straits."
It’s not that those in power don’t want to take care of it, but they can’t. Their abilities are limited, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snowfall, making it difficult to implement them. Government orders can only linger in the Gyeonggi region, and it’s extremely difficult for them to reach the local level. Even if they get to the local level, as the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. However, the landlords and gentry still have countless ways to turn policies that benefit the people into a tool for enriching their own pockets.
The common people had no way to survive. First, the public security deteriorated. Then, local governments tightened their policies and strictly enforced public security, which further led to an increase in public dissatisfaction.
It can be said that the public dissatisfaction in Beidi has now reached a critical value, and there is only one last step left before an uprising.
Although officials from all walks of life in the royal capital are pampered and privileged, they are by no means incompetent. How could they not know that people everywhere are suffering and resentful? But as the old saying goes, it's not that you don't want to take care of it, but that you can't.
Moreover, all officials are certain that as long as there is no big trouble this winter and the spring comes next year, they can appease the people everywhere and allow the country to recuperate.
It's a pity that the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.
Qin Feng, the "national enemy", has been watching covetously from the sidelines. Whether it is paving the way, showing favors, or even mediating with various officials and forces, he is lying dormant and looking for opportunities to deliver a fatal blow to Beidi. Now that this opportunity has finally come, how can Qin Feng miss it? Do Beidi officials want to wait until spring next year? Qin Feng naturally wanted their corpses to be covered throughout the harsh winter.
Qin Feng considers himself not a bad person, and he can sympathize with the sufferings of the people, but after all, he is a member of Daliang, and he is the king of the north. Treating Beidi with even a hint of kindness is cruel to Daliang. It can even be concluded directly. After Beidi recuperates and regains strength, the first thing he does will be to tear up the peace agreement and attack Daliang again.
This is not because people are unpredictable, nor is Beidi ungrateful, but because of the uneven distribution of resources.
Daliang occupies a prosperous land, while Beidi is vast, sparsely populated, and poor in materials. As the saying goes, everyone is created equal, why can Daliang live so easily, while Beidi has to live hard?
No matter which emperor is in power or which official group is in power, attacking Daliang and seizing the rich land are inevitable topics.
Even if Jing Qianying becomes the first female empress in the history of Beidi, she will definitely face pressure from all aspects and have to consider the option of attacking Daliang.
The only way to end the endless war once and for all is for Qin Feng to run Beijun and Sangzhou, sandwiched between the two countries, and fundamentally kill Beidi's idea of attacking Daliang.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Only with a truce can the people live a stable life. As for whether they can live a prosperous life, it is not Qin Feng who needs to consider it, but the people in power.
The Beidi Building is about to collapse, not to mention all kinds of monsters and ghosts appearing one after another. At least many "cautious people" have begun to seek a way out.
The estrangement between King Beidi and Ye Xiao is by no means accidental, it is the inevitable result of various chain reactions.
Although the King of Beidi has always been worried about Jing Qianying and wants to kill him, this is just a "private matter" of the King of Beidi. At least in the general direction and the overall situation, the King of Beidi is a hero, and no less than Liang Emperor, his ultimate goal is to make this country strong, but in the process of implementation, it will inevitably touch the interests of other people.
Ye Xiao's footprints are all over the world. Even Daliang Kyoto, the northern border, and even the interior of Jinyiwei have been infiltrated by Ye Xiao. This shows how strong Ye Xiao is, and strength is actually power.
All espionage organizations in the world have the same moral character. Dogs cannot change their behavior. Once they become too powerful, they will inevitably eat their masters.
And Qin Feng took advantage of this.
The internal members of Ye Xiao know very well that sooner or later, they will be completely bloodbathed by King Beidi. Therefore, what they have to do is to prevent this day from coming, and then they will inevitably stand on the opposite side of King Beidi.
Li Yu is the confidant of the Beidi King, and Ye Xiao helps Lu Li, intercepting and killing Qin Feng on the way, disrupting national policies, and at the same time colluding with the troops stationed in the royal capital. It can be seen that there are many factions within Ye Xiao, with at least four major parties. !
They are the Imperial Party, the Eagle Party, the Neutral Party, and the chaotic Party with selfish desires.
And the party that Qin Feng ordered Jin Yiwei to try his best to infiltrate and win over was the rebellious party among them.
Although these rebellious parties are relatively marginal, they are the easiest to capture. Although they cannot touch the core secrets, they are fully qualified as eyes and ears to help Qin Feng and keep an eye on every move in the capital of Beidi.
Precisely because he instigated the rebellion of many night owl rebels, Qin Feng even indirectly obtained the list of all the "nightingales" who had infiltrated Daliang Vanity Fair.
Of course, now is not the time to deal with these "nightingales".
At this moment, Qin Feng and Ye Xiao rebelled, and it was already "I am among you, and you are among me."
The transfer of various benefits is just a basic operation. What really matters is the reallocation of resources.
