Chapter 323 My martial arts are better than you


Chapter 323 My martial arts are stronger than you.

Yao Zhi continued: "The ancestor of Wu Ding, Wu Tang, the king of Shang, was also a king who could govern the country and lead the army to fight. The king of Zhou, the king of Zhou, was also..."

Yao Zhi said several times in a row, and heard that the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom were unwilling to see that the Qin envoy was deliberately showing them that there were many kings in the history of Qin that could govern the country and fight wars.

But they found that the kings mentioned by the Qin envoys belonged to the dynasty before Qin, not the original dynasty of Qin.

A minister of the Peacock Kingdom said, "What the envoy said was the king of the previous dynasty. Why don't you talk about the current dynasty of the country?"

As soon as these words were said, the Peacock King and Duke, who were unhappy but didn't know how to refute Yao Zhi, were excited. The eyes that fell on Yao Zhi seemed to say:

You only talk about your kings in ancient times, and you don’t talk about your kings in Qin. Could it be that there is no one? King Yuegu and King Ashoka are the two former kings of our dynasty!

From this point of view, although your history in ancient times is excellent, you are not as good as me now.

Faced with this malicious question, Yao Zhi smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but that I, the wise kings of Daqin, are better at generals than directly leading troops to fight!"

"Although all the wise kings do not lead troops, they can recognize the heroes with keen eyes and select qualified generals. This is the 'general'. For example, Wu'an Jun was highly valued by King Zhao and became one of the most outstanding generals in our Great Qin."

"For example, the veteran General Wang Jian was also valued by His Majesty the Emperor, so that one person could destroy the five countries."

"Wu'an Jun once led a prisoner of more than 400,000 enemy troops in one war. The veteran General Wang Jian once led a large army to attack and destroy the five kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi. When destroying Chu, the veteran General Wang Jian led 600,000 troops to attack Chu under the order of His Majesty, defeated the Chu general Xiang Yan, defeated the Chu capital Shouchun, captured the King of Chu, and destroyed the Chu State."

He did not show off deliberately, but the princes and ministers of the Peacock King could all hear what Yao Zhi meant.

The achievements of King Ashoka who you praised for capturing 150,000 people, killing 100,000 people, and killing hundreds of thousands of people, are not worth mentioning before the great military achievements of Wu'anjun and the veteran general Wang Jian.

Yao Zhi did not mention that Wu'anjun buried all the more than 400,000 Zhao troops alive. First, it might scare the kings and ministers of Peacock. Second, if it is unified today, Zhao has been reunited, and they are all from the Qin Dynasty. They are all from China. Don't mention these things that will affect everyone's friendship.

They are all buddies. Although Daqin has won now, they cannot always reveal their brother's scars, even though there is no Zhao person in the mission.

After hearing Yao Zhi's words, the Peacock King and the Ministers naturally did not believe the thoughts in their hearts, thinking that this must be a lie compiled by the Qin envoy, and deliberately wanted to overwhelm them.

The hateful Qin people were full of lies and wanted to beat them in everything, but they just didn't want to admit that they were stronger.

A Peacock King immediately suspected: "It is impossible. It is capturing more than 400,000 enemy troops. The two sides should have invested as many troops as one million. Not to mention where to find so many soldiers, the consumption of weapons and food is difficult to estimate. Even if our country wants to support such troops, it will not be easy..."

The implication is that we can't support a war of this scale. Can you Qin people?

And according to your Qin people, if several other countries had not yet been destroyed, their national strength would definitely not be as strong as they are now, and it would be even more impossible to support it.

Yao Zhi replied bluntly: "The inability to Guibang does not mean that the Qin Dynasty cannot be done. Don't think that it is something that you cannot do, and others cannot do it."

"The Battle of Changping took place in the 47th year of King Zhao, and it was timely..."

The mission sent by Daqin was an old Qin man selected from the Daqin army, and naturally he did not lack understanding of the Battle of Changping.

Yao Zhi told the Prince and Minister of Peacock that the Battle of Changping was still omitted.

After listening to Yao Zhi's statement, the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom thought this might be true, because if it was compiled, it would be difficult to compile it so clearly.

But in that case, the strength of Qin needs to be re-evaluated. They do not want to admit that there is a country as strong as theirs in the world.

As for this country, it may be stronger than them, I don’t really want to think about it...

It is worthy of being a lineage. This kind of arrogance and self-deception is also reflected in Bai Xiang in later generations:

My white elephant is the world's top strength. Although it is slightly inferior to the eagle, it is not inferior to the rabbit. It is even more important than the bull and the hairy bear. Why can't I sit in the sixth position of permanent membership?

From the words of this Qin envoy, the Peacock King and Duke and Ministers also heard some other things.

The Qin State is not kind to fight with people, because the enemy generals are too capable of defending and actually use rumors to disconnect the enemy's monarch and ministers, so that the enemy generals are replaced to defeat the enemy's army.

After this issue was over, the Peacock King and Ministers no longer showed off to Yao Zhi and others, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two countries in various aspects to demonstrate their powerful ideas.

After the banquet, Yao Zhi and others left, and the Peacock King and Minister were left.

The Peacock Lord asked, "What do you think of the Qin envoy?"

A king said righteously: "The words are either true or false!"

The Peacock Lord glanced at the prince and said that the answer was nonsense, either true or false. Can there be a state of superposition of true or false?

At this time, another minister said with a serious expression: "King, the Qin envoy said that Wu Ding's wife and wife had defeated an alien enemy a thousand years ago. As far as I know..."

The minister paused and continued, "At that time, our ancestors had an expedition, but the results of the expeditionary force are unknown!"

The other princes and ministers who didn't know this news were stunned after hearing this, and then understood and took a breath of air conditioning.

Is this saying that the expedition of their ancestors was actually the place where the Qin people came from, and then their ancestors were defeated by a female general?

The record is unknown because it was a great defeat, and the expeditionary army was destroyed by the ancestors of the Qin people, so I was embarrassed to leave a record.

A prince who advocated the theory of "the theory of barbarians and barbarians in the Great Qin Dynasty" immediately retorted: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How could such a coincidence be that our ancestors went on an expedition a thousand years ago, and the ones who conquered the Qin people?"

"This must be a lie that the Qin people knew about this and deliberately fabricated!"

The more I said that, the more I felt right. The Peacock King said with great confidence: "The Qin people knew that this happened a thousand years ago and there was no detailed record. We cannot prove that he was lying, so we fabricated such a lie."

"The Qin people are cunning, and they cannot believe their words deeply! And what if their words are true?"

"This is a thousand years later. We are not ancestors and will not be defeated by the Qin people again, but instead..."

The prince looked at the other princes and ministers, and his anxiousness when he refuted was gone, and he became calm: "It's just a chance to avenge the ancestors and welcome back the bones of his ancestors. I didn't know what to do in the past, but now I know, how can I do it?"

That was a good excuse for sending troops to the Qin people - to welcome back the bones of ancestors from thousands of years ago.

Another minister said, "It's inappropriate. I haven't heard from the Qin envoy that Qin could send out hundreds of thousands of troops to launch a war of one million troops, and our country may not be able to win!"

Wang Gong, who said, "The Qin people are cunning, and they should not believe their words!" said: "The Battle of Changping is obviously a lie made up by the Qin people. Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu. Perhaps the matter is true, but there must be no such many people. The Qin people just wanted me not to underestimate them!" The minister said: "But what if it is true?"

Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel over the Qin people again, the Peacock Lord said, "Everyone, I have said not to quarrel over the Qin people. This matter has ended here, and it is getting late, so let's retreat."

There were princes and ministers who still wanted to say something, but when they saw the Peacock Lord expressionless, they seemed to not want to listen to them anymore, so the ministers could only salute and bow and leave.

But not all the princes and ministers really retreated. Some princes and ministers quietly returned after retreating, and they were led to another palace.

These princes and ministers are the sect of Peacock Kingdom. Although the current Peacock Kingdom has only been two years ago, they want to do something bolder, such as he believes in Jainism and wants to suppress Buddhism that flourished because of his grandfather.

But Buddhism is powerful and believers are everywhere. Many of the princes and ministers believe in Buddhism. Even though he is the king, it is difficult to force the suppression immediately, so he naturally has to win over a group of people.

In fact, the Peacock Kingdom is not as prosperous and powerful as the Princes and Ministers of the Peacock Kingdom said, but it is already on the decline. After King Ashoka's death, many places disrespect the king's orders and became independent, but the king of the Peacock Kingdom cannot solve it.

Today's Peacock Country is a pig's nose that is inserted into green onions - pretending to be elephant!

The Peacock Kingdom, who has ascended the throne, cannot solve this situation, because there are too many problems in the Peacock Kingdom itself, and Buddhist monks are one of them.

Buddhist monks do not work or pay taxes, occupy a large amount of land, build many temples, and have to donate to believers all day long, creating a serious burden on the economic production and development of the Peacock Kingdom.

Moreover, many peacock people took the initiative to become monks because they saw Buddhist monks living a comfortable and leisurely life.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

After all, they worked hard to work, but they had to pay taxes for the harvest and donate to the monks. So why not become a member of the monks and be leisurely and happy together?

From the perspective of the development of the Peacock Kingdom, Buddhism must be pressed down. From the perspective of personal beliefs, he does not believe in Buddhism. He believes in Jainism like his ancestor Yuehu, and it is not the same as his grandfather Ashoka.

Now that Buddhism is in great momentum, it naturally blocks the development path of other sects. Only by suppressing Buddhism and snatching the cakes that Buddhism possesses can they develop.

As a result, the Peacock Kingdom's lord gathered a group of princes and ministers who believed in Jainism and did not like Buddhism.

This Jainism is an outrageous sect.

It appeared earlier than Buddhism. The doctrine emphasizes disrespect for God, equality of all beings, opposes the caste system, everyone can achieve enlightenment, does not discriminate against women, opposes killing, opposes Brahmanism, opposes fatalism, and advocates fasting during ascetic practice, which leads to some believers starving to death during ascetic practice.

The Yueguard King who founded the Mauryan Dynasty was a devout Jain, who went on a hunger strike to death in his later years.

This is also one of the reasons why King Yuegu was not from Kshatriya, but a Shudra.

If King Yuegu was born in Kshatriya, then there is no reason to believe in Jainism that opposes the caste system.

Jainism has a profound influence, and Buddhism has learned from it, and a certain Mahatma has also learned from it non-violent and uncooperative.

Although Buddhism in Peacock Kingdom has the idea of ​​opposing the caste system, it actually turns a blind eye, neither preaches nor denies, and lives in harmony between the two sides.

But Jainism is preaching everywhere, but ordinary people cannot stand its outrageous rules and doctrines.

For example, they oppose killing and are prohibited from engaging in all industries related to killing, including agriculture, and require people to practice hard and go on hunger strikes. If they fail to practice hard and fail to achieve enlightenment, they will have to start a meal.

But what is very interesting is that Jainism still exists in modern India, but Buddhism has disappeared. Perhaps it is precisely because of its unique doctrines and rules that it can continue to exist.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Peacock Lord said, "Let everyone come here, I have to discuss with you if you have something to do: 1. The people from Danmolidi have sent monks to the Great Qin State."

This matter is easy to understand. Danmolidi is a famous city of Buddhism in the Peacock Kingdom. He sent monks to the Great Qin Kingdom. It was obvious that he saw that the kings today believed in Jainism and were afraid that Buddhism would be affected by suppression and left a way out to preach and leave a way out.

One person said, "Wang, those people in Danmolidi want to go to Qin to preach, they are preparing their own way of retreat!"

The Peacock Lord nodded and said, "I think so too, but what should I do about this matter?"

After a while of silence, one person said, "Your Majesty, why not let them go. If you can succeed in preaching in Qin, you will not focus on our country anymore. When his or her side leaves, my or her school will not need to get into evil with him or her."

Another objected: "What if he succeeded in preaching in Qin but did not want to leave and still covet the country? By then, he would have Qin as a way out, and would be even more difficult to deal with."

This is reasonable. If Buddhism reaches Qin, it will not be a good thing, but it may become more troublesome.

In fact, they are really thinking too much. Not to mention whether Buddhism can take root in the current Daqin, even if it is successfully taken root, under the influence of Chinese culture, it will become Chinese Buddhism and will not be passed on back to them.

"King, you should send an envoy to the Qin State to explain the shortcomings of Buddhism to the king of Qin State. You must not allow Buddhism to grow and grow in Qin State."

If you want to suppress Buddhism, you should not only not let it run away, but instead block its retreat as much as possible and cut off its chances of turning around and resurrecting it.

The Peacock Kingdom said, "We should act with this strategy. I will send a letter to the king of Qin and tell him about the shortcomings of Buddhism, so that he can understand the harm of Buddhism and do not let Buddhism take root in Qin."

This matter was agreed upon, and the Peacock Lord said again: "What do you think of Qin? How should you get along with Qin?"

Although I had talked about this with the ministers before, there were princes and ministers from other factions of power at that time. Their views were also different due to interests and other factors.

Now these are all their own people. They have common interests and goals, and they will be closer in their opinions.

One person said, "The authenticity of what the Qin envoy said is uncertain. You should be as the king said, and be cautious."

"It is the envoy of Qin that there are schools in Qin, but there is no clear sect, and all schools must abide by the law. This point may be learned. Envoys should be sent to Qin to observe, observe the Qin school, and see how they manage the various schools of thought."

When he heard Yao Zhi say that although there were many schools of thought in the Qin Dynasty, the schools of thought were schools, not sects, and they had to obey the king's orders and follow the law, the Peacock Kingdom's kingdom wanted the same as Buddhism, Jainism, and Brahminism in their Peacock Kingdom.

The current person proposed to send an envoy to Qin State for investigation and observation, and hit the mind of the Peacock State, saying, "This matter is feasible."
