Chapter 2938 Daqin style double standard


    Chapter 2935 Daqin-style double standard


    The Yingzhou War can currently be divided into three stages.


    In the first stage, the Qin guards attacked the coalition forces.


    The four kingdoms of Wei, Song, Ming and Wu, as well as the Japanese remnant party Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the five families jointly attacked Qin, while the Qin Dynasty responded passively.


    It was also during this process that the Qin Dynasty lost the eight counties of Xihai County in the western part of the prefecture.


    The eight counties in Xihai are not very large in population and are not very rich in places, but they are the Shijian Yinshan Mountain, and other small and medium-sized gold and silver mines, which directly reduces the overall gold and silver mineral output of Daqin by two-fifths.


    In this regard, the Qin Dynasty suffered heavy losses, but due to the chaotic situation and the inability to focus its energy on Yingzhou in the short term and the inability to recover the eight counties of Xihai County, it is simply frustrating.


    In the second stage, the Qin army defended east and attacked west, and fought against the five forces one by one.


    Wang Jian ordered Qin Zheng and Kenshin Uesugi to lead his troops to guard Kansai County and Hokkien County to resist the coalition forces in the eastern part of Honshu and Hokkaido, while he led his army to launch a defensive counterattack. While attacking Oo and Kinki, he ordered Susano to lead his army to capture Shikoku Island, and Kyushu''s Takiyado Yuki also attacked Kyushu in the north.


    At this stage, the Qin army won a great victory. Not only did it capture large areas of Oo and Kinki, but it almost occupied Kyushu and the entire territory of the four countries, completely crushing the opponent in its strategic layout.


    Even though the enemy had realized Wang Jian''s purpose, the ship was unable to turn around and could not stop Wang Jian''s plan of siege. He only almost realized the plan of unifying Yingzhou in the west first and then east.


    But with the arrival of Wang Mang''s reinforcements, Wang Jian''s plan to encircle was completely failed. Not only did Beijiuzhou and the four countries lose their gains and losses, but the Qin army once again fell into a passive state of being beaten.


    This is the third stage of the Yin-Yingzhou War. The Qin army fought on four fronts, and Wang Jian took over six countries with one stroke.


    In fact, when Wang Jian launched the second phase of the war, he knew that once the encirclement plan was unsuccessful, the Qin army would fall into the dilemma of multi-line combat, and there would be a risk of being defeated one by one.


    But at that time, Wang Jian was confident that even if he could not win quickly, he could erode the opponent little by little, thereby achieving the final victory, so he ignored the risk of division of troops.


    But Wang Jian didn''t expect that Wang Mang would wade into this muddy water, which not only destroyed his plan, but also completely reflected the sequelae of the failure of the plan.


    Now the Qin army is scattered in the four places of Jiuzhou, Siguo, Kanto and Nongwei, and is forced to fight on the four fronts and besieged by the six forces. Naturally, the troops are short of strength.


    In fact, at the beginning of the war, the Qin Dynasty had sufficient troops in Yingzhou. Not only did it have 80,000 local regular troops, but also 160,000 Qin military troops and a total of 240,000 troops. It was definitely more than enough to defend the five counties of Yingzhou.


    But no one expected that the situation in Yingzhou would change so quickly. Not only did all forces unite, but they also brought Wang Mang, an outsider, into the situation, so that even Wang Jian’s 240,000 troops could not solve the problem of Yingzhou.


    In addition, the Qin army has suffered a lot of losses until now. Not only did the local army lose 8,000, but the Qin army''s casualties also reached 40,000.


    Faced with this situation, Wang Jian had to recruit troops on the spot for emergency recruitment, but the newly recruited Qin Xiejun was definitely not as strong as before, and he could only be used to defend the city and could not fight in the field.


    In order to maintain the current situation, Wang Jian decided to relax restrictions on the local clans, allow them to recruit troops on their own, and cooperate with the Qin army in combat, which led to the 25,000 coalition forces in Southern Jiuzhou.


    In fact, Wang Jian''s actions were not essentially different from the Qiang Reform Order issued by Yang Guang, but the difference was that the Qin Dynasty did not have to do it, but took the initiative to promote it.


    Ying Hao, who is from a great family, knows the harm of the aristocratic family very well. He also adopts a strict precaution against the aristocratic families in China, but why is he so tolerant of the Yingzhou family?


    The reason is actually very simple. Although the Japanese Empire established by Oda Nobunaga lasted for a short period of time, it was just like the Yuanmeng and the Qing Dynasty established by Temujin and Nurhaci, and it was unanimously recognized by all Japanese people, thus giving birth to national consciousness.


    The three countries, Yuan, Mongolian, Qing, and Japan, all have their own history, writing and civilizations, and will naturally exclude foreign civilizations, even the Qin civilization with extremely high similarity.


    Therefore, even though Daqin implemented a series of assimilation policies, it is obviously not easy to completely assimilate Yingzhou, and it takes a lot of time, even the efforts of two or three generations.


    This is the price that must be paid for invasion. Without such a long period of assimilation, it is impossible to completely assimilate a nation.


    Yingzhou is a mountain of gold and silver. It is naturally impossible for Daqin, which has tasted the sweetness, to give up this treasure land, but the assimilation process is too long. As the emperor, Ying Hao wanted to shorten this period, and there are actually two best ways:


    The first one is naturally to unify Yingzhou, but it is obviously impossible before the unification of Jiuzhou. The Qin Dynasty must first complete the unification of China in order to free up its hands to complete the unification of Yingzhou.


    As for this second method, it is to follow the policy of the Qing Dynasty when it entered the pass and support a group of Japanese traitors. The speed of assimilation of Japanese slaughter using Japanese to control Japanese is obviously much faster than that of Han to control Japanese.


    As for how to support a group of Japanese traitors and completely tie the Yingzhou family to the chariot of the Qin Dynasty, it can be summed up in nine words: the Qin and the aristocratic families govern Yingzhou together;


    Since the Qin Dynasty has not yet unified Yingzhou, there are still many enemies in Yingzhou, so naturally we cannot treat the Yingzhou family according to domestic standards. Therefore, we do not need to fully grasp the territory under our command, but only control the majority of the population and the most essential land.


    As for those places that were difficult for the Qin Dynasty to master and the population hidden by the aristocratic families, they were all handed over to the Yingzhou family for management. At the same time, they took the initiative to give up some of the interests and completely **** interests, so that the Yingzhou family became the basis for the Qin Dynasty''s rule in Yingzhou. For example, if Yingzhou is a listed company, then Daqin is the chairman, and the major families in Yingzhou are all small shareholders.


    This is also the main reason why the Qin Dynasty rebelled in small families and none of the big families rebelled after the outbreak of the Yingzhou War.


    Under this set of strategies, the Yingzhou family not only controls the local area, but also has military power, which is almost equivalent to a small warlord, but this is exactly what the Qin Dynasty hopes to see. After all, they have to rely on them to confront the United Army.


    In fact, even if Wang Jian does not lift the restrictions, the Yingzhou family, which has money, food and people, will still secretly expand their strength to protect themselves, and lifting the restrictions will only make them more openly.


    As for whether these families will rebel with the joint army like the local families of the Four Kingdoms and Kyushu?


    This possibility is naturally impossible to completely avoid, but the facts have proved that the ultimate opposition was some small families that were not as powerful as a climatic one, and no large family chose to rebel.


    This also shows that the policy of interest binding between the Qin Dynasty and the Yingzhou family was extremely successful.


    It is precisely because the interests of the Yingzhou clan have long been closely related to the Qin Dynasty. The United Army not only cannot bring them greater benefits, but will also seize power from them. Therefore, they ignore the righteousness of the country and the Han clan of the Ming Dynasty, just like in the late Ming Dynasty, exterminated the Han clan of the Ming Dynasty with the Qing Dynasty, and helped the Qin Dynasty fight against the United Army with all their strength.


    Because anti-Qin means opposing themselves, they naturally cannot oppose their own.


    However, the policy of the Qin Dynasty and the Yingzhou family jointly governing Yingzhou had a considerable impact after being passed back to China.


    After all, the Qin family only has economic dominance, but has no local control and the right to recruit private soldiers, but it has given the Yingzhou family so many privileges. Isn’t this a perfect double standard?


    Why can the barbarians who lost their country in Yingzhou enjoy higher treatment than their own families?


    For this reason, many officials from aristocratic families wrote letters, appearing to oppose the policy of interest binding of the Qin Dynasty, but in fact they wanted to win the same status for the local aristocratic families.


    But this is obviously impossible.


    At a court meeting, Ying Hao was even more furious about this. After dismissing 16 opposition officials in a row, he suppressed all kinds of opposition voices inside and outside the court.


    But Ying Hao also knew that this could only be suppressed for a while. If the fundamental problem was not solved, those aristocratic families would not give up.


    As for what is the fundamental problem? In essence, it is still a country, but there are two different systems. The open and upright behavior of the Qin Dynasty made many people unwilling to accept it and were lucky.


    Ying Hao naturally attached great importance to this. After all, if this trend is not suppressed, the trouble will be endless in the future. So he held eight court meetings in a row to discuss the issue of Yingzhou''s policy.


    After a series of fierce discussions, the ministers finally concluded that if they want to completely include Yingzhou in the territory, they must rely on the power of the Yingzhou family, and if they want the horse to run, they must let the horse eat enough.


    Ying Hao knew that there were still many people who were unwilling to do so, so he made a statement, clearly stating that the policy of benefiting the common governance was only a transitional policy before Yingzhou was unified. After the entire territory of Yingzhou and the complete naturalization, it would be changed back to the same policy as the Qin Dynasty, which completely stopped this unhealthy trend.


    Ying Hao also knows that the policy of co-governance also has many hidden dangers, but it is indeed the most suitable response strategy for the Qin Dynasty under the current situation. Besides, even Dorgon can do it, he doesn''t think he can''t do it.


    As long as the Qin army continues to be strong, even if the Yingzhou family has some minor thoughts, they will never dare to reveal it, but this thunder has been planted here.


    Ying Hao estimated that he had completed unification. Even if Yingzhou was unified later, the policy of co-governance would still last for a long time. After all, it was not that easy to assimilate a nation.


    During his reign, he was likely to be unable to completely assimilate Yingzhou, so he could only hand it over to his son to abolish this co-governance policy with great hidden dangers. The Yingzhou family would definitely not be willing to give up their rights. Forcibly taking them back may cause another set of twists and turns, but he believed that Ying Sheng''s wisdom would definitely solve this problem perfectly.


    As for Wang Jian, although he also knew the hidden dangers, he was not that far from thinking about it compared to Ying Hao.


    In Wang Jian''s view, the Qin Dynasty had not yet completed its unification, and Yingzhou was full of dangers. It is not a good idea to use the power of the Japanese to overcome difficulties, so it was so relaxed to relax restrictions.


    As for what will happen to Yingzhou in the future? Wang Jian didn''t know, nor did he want to know. He only knew that during his tenure as the governor, he would never let the Qin Dynasty lose the five counties of Yingzhou. So what if he did anything to do about this?


    Wang Jian lifted the restrictions, and the Yingzhou family was overjoyed. If there were still people who had concerns before, but now there were no more concerns. After all, the Qin Dynasty''s co-governance policy was not said, but was done in a real way. Naturally, they would have to be determined to go to the dark side of the Qin Dynasty.


    The Yingzhou family vigorously recruited soldiers and sent people to express their loyalty to Wang Jian and strongly supported Wang Jian''s wise decision.


    Wang Jian could only sneer in his heart. He looked at these people as if he was looking at a dead person. He knew that these people were already dead bones in the tomb, and his only function was to be drained by the Qin Dynasty and his only use value left.


    Although Wang Jian is strong, his command ability is the best in Yingzhou, he is only one person after all and cannot take care of the entire Yingzhou. Therefore, even with him, the Qin army fighting on multiple fronts is still at a disadvantage.


    However, with the joining of local coalition forces such as Oda, Tokugawa, Uesugi, Hojo, and Shiminomiya, the Qin army greatly made up for the disadvantages in military strength, and finally withstood the joint counterattack of the five forces of Wei, Song, Ming, Wu and Toyotomi at an extremely low price.


    Looking at the map in front of him, Wang Jian couldn''t help but sigh: "Oh, let''s look at the governor of Qin Zheng. If the Battle of Jiuzhou is won, the encirclement and annihilation plan can still be implemented. If it is defeated, there will be some battles in Yingzhou."
