The news that Gongsun Yang had executed two of the prince's masters quickly spread throughout Yongdu. The nobles who were still ready to take action immediately became honest and no longer dared to violate the new law.
After the prince was killed to scare the monkeys, the overt or covert obstacles in Qin's implementation of the new law immediately disappeared, and the implementation of the new law became unimpeded.
After Wang Pu received the news from the secret guard and saw what Gongsun Yang did, he shook his head slightly and said, "What a pity!"
Immediately throwing it aside, if Gongsun Yang took this opportunity to persuade the Marquis of Qin to depose the prince, and then support other princes to serve as princes, there might be a chance of survival after the death of the Marquis of Qin. As a result, Gongsun Yangling dealt with the prince's master, but did not take any action against the prince.
Trample the prince's face to the ground, and when the prince ascends the throne, it will be his death. However, considering that Gongsun Yang was still young and not proficient in power struggles, there is nothing wrong with doing so.
After Gongsun Yang killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, Qin's reform was no longer hindered. Gongsun Yang abolished the well-field system, distributed a large amount of the nobles' fields to the people of Qin, reclaimed the ridges between the well-fields into farmland, and encouraged the people to reclaim the wilderness.
At the same time, the private ownership of farmland was recognized, land sales were allowed, and taxes were balanced. After some implementation, a large amount of wasteland in the Qin State was reclaimed.
Because after the household division order was issued, a large number of father-son households were split, and the number of households in Qin doubled. The emergence of a large number of households also caused Qin's tax revenue to increase rapidly.
Qin's reforms made the Marquis of Qin very satisfied. After having money and food, Qin not only reorganized its armaments, but also began to build various water conservancy projects.
The Qin State took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains and the Wei State's inability to look westward to quickly implement reforms. But the Central Plains fell into war again.
After the alliance between Wei and South Korea, the pressure on Zhao increased dramatically. After seeing this situation, Zhao began to have good relations with Qi.
Qi State originally wanted to weaken Wei State, and it can be said that they hit it off with Zhao's alliance.
The alliance between Zhao and Qi immediately touched the sensitive nerves of Wei. You must know that over the years, Wei State has been competing with Qi State for land in the Central Plains.
Now that Qi and Zhao are in alliance, with one in the east and one in the north, Wei's situation suddenly becomes dangerous. Seeing this situation, Wei Hou immediately invited South Korea to attack Zhao together.
After Wei's reform, its strength quickly grew. It defeated Qin to the west, Qi to the east, Chu to the south, and fought Zhao several times. During the period of Wei Wuhou, Wei could be said to have conquered the surrounding areas. All countries have been offended.
This operation of the Wei State made other countries know the importance of the reform, and at the same time made them very hostile to the Wei State. After the various countries went through the reform, the institutional advantages of the Wei State's reform were gradually overtaken by other countries. . Now the only person in Wei who can still be ahead of other countries is Wei Wuzu.
In the past, there was an alliance between the Three Jins. Wei was powerful and Qin and Qi were invincible. However, after the alliance of the Three Jins collapsed, Wei State's strength was greatly reduced without the help of Zhao State.
The happiest among them is the State of Qin. Over the years, Qin's life has been extremely difficult. During the eras of Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou, the Qin State was beaten by the Wei State and was in a state of disarray, with heavy casualties and heavy casualties. All the land in Xihe was taken away. .
However, Qin State took advantage of Wei State's weakening opportunity to quickly complete the reform. Its strength was greatly improved, and it was already eager to attack Wei State.
After several turmoils in the Wei State, a large number of Wei's soldiers were lost, and the training of Wei's soldiers could not be completed in a short time, which also led to the decline in the strength of the Wei State.
This time Zhao and Qi allied and then attacked Wei. They wanted to send Jian to Wei to help. After seeing this situation, the Marquis of Wei immediately invited South Korea to send troops to attack Zhao and Qi.
The allied forces of Han and Wei and the allied forces of Qi and Zhao fought fiercely in Weiguo. Even though Wei's strength has declined and Wei's soldiers have suffered a lot, with the help of South Korea, Wei is still inextricable from Zhao and Qi, and even has the upper hand.
The cities captured by Zhao and Qi were recaptured.
On the other side, Qin State, after learning that Wei State was entangled by Qi State, immediately sent tens of thousands of troops to attack Wei State's Hexi area.
The State of Qin is eyeing the land of Xihe, mainly because the land of Xihe is too important to the State of Qin. After learning about Qin's attack, the Marquis of Wei's face changed slightly. Since the Marquis of Wei ascended the throne, the Wei State has been in a dilemma of being surrounded by Qin, Qi and Zhao.
After Wei Hou's father Wei Wuhou defeated the princes, although he obtained a large amount of land, the relationship between the princes and Wei was basically shattered.
This time Qi Zhao attacked Wei, and then Qin took this opportunity to attack again. For a time, Wei State was in a dilemma.
After originally defeating the Zhao Qi coalition, the Marquis of Wei, who wanted to continue the pursuit, quickly ordered the army to withdraw and garrison, and then began to rely on the city wall to defend, while on the other side, Qin State launched a massive attack.
The Marquis of Wei mobilized an army and appointed Gongsun Zuo as commander to resist the Qin army.
After Gongsun Yang's reform, the strength of Qin's soldiers was greatly improved. Qin's law forced Qin soldiers to be brave. In addition, Gongsun Yang also practiced military skills in the academy.
He led the Qin army to attack, but Wei was unable to resist. After Gongsun Zuo led Wei Wu soldiers to come, Gongsun Yang and his troops fought three battles in a row. As a result, Wei Wu soldiers could not resist and had to retreat.
Because Wei's soldiers had suffered a lot in the past, this time the number of Wei's soldiers was not large. Coupled with the large number of Qin's soldiers, Gongsun Tuo could not resist and had to retreat.
Wei saw this situation and quickly sent people to South Korea for help. South Korea sent a large army. As a result, the Qin army defeated the Wei and South Korean coalition forces again in Huaxian, and the two countries had to retreat again.
The Qin State won consecutive battles and its morale was high. In one battle, it seized a large area of land from the Wei State. After the Marquis of Qin learned about it, he was very excited and trusted Gongsun Yang even more.
Wei lost consecutive battles, and the Qin army continued to attack. Then Qin and the Han and Wei coalition forces fought again in Luoyin. This time, although the Han and Wei coalition forces were defeated, they were not defeated, and they finally blocked Qin.
But at this time, Wei and South Korea mobilized troops, and Qi and Zhao in the east went to war again. South Korea and Wei fought on two fronts, and they couldn't resist it for a while.
Seeing this situation, the Marquis of Wei knew that there could be no more fighting and sent envoys to Zhao and Qi to seek peace.
In the end, Qi and Zhao agreed to Wei's peace proposal, and Wei ceded several cities respectively. Without the restraint of the East, the State of Wei could finally deal with the State of Qin. In addition, the Marquis of Wei invited the State of Zhao to assist in the war, and the State of Qin once again faced the coalition forces of the Three Jin Dynasties. This time, with the help of Zhao, Qin was defeated and had to withdraw its troops overnight.
But even so, Wei State was occupied by Qin State, and a large area of land was occupied by Qin State, and the defense of Xihe was opened.
