Qi’s Hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period

According to historical calculations, although the Spring and Autumn Period collapsed, it was impossible to replace the Zhou Dynasty. Even those who had such an idea and ability would never be able to replace the Zhou Dynasty. The monarchs in the Spring and Autumn Period did not centralize power, and the class of the nobles and common people was stable. The division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty was the great breakthrough and reshuffling of the Warring States Period. History has proved that after the Jin Dynasty was divided into three heroes, it was the changing point in the unification of the times.

If Qi could be unified, would it be better to enfeoff or centralize power?

Chapter 1. According to my research, Ju and Qin both came out of Dongyi, used birds as totems, and used October as the first month (Qin calendar), which is different from the eleventh month of the Zhou calendar and the thirteenth month of the lunar calendar. There are some bases for the above, the following are purely personal considerations: What kind of regime does Qi belong to? I think that in the hundreds of years of exchanges and struggles with Dongyi, Huaiyi, Xuyi, Laiyi, and Renfang, it gradually absorbed Dongyi culture. As we all know, Dongyi people use birds as totems. The sacrifice statues and dragon-patterned pots unearthed from the tombs of early nobles in the Qi Kingdom all have patterns of bluebirds and phoenixes. Where is Tian Qi? I think it is more Chu-style. From the cultural relics of the Warring States period, the copper beans with tiger-shaped handles are also the standard Chu style. Looking at the entire Qi culture, it is the fusion of Jizhou culture, Dongyi culture, and Chu culture that can bloom the flower of civilized thought like Jixia Academy.

I like this kind of development very much. I feel very happy when I see the progress.

Unifying the world is a bit unrealistic. Even if the emperor of Zhou is overthrown, the princes will rise up and attack. You can consider setting up a foundation for future generations to seek advantageous geographical location. The biggest problem of Qi in history is that it has no strategic depth and no dangerous victory. In terms of strategic layout, it becomes the overlord of the north. The emperor of Zhou leads the Central Plains princes to continuously conquer the southern Chu State and Huaiyi, which is to replace the position of the later Jin State. As long as the internal royal power is consolidated, Qi State can still have fun! In fact, I think the original historical description of Duke Huan of Qi and the nine princes was a bit far-fetched. At least the two superpowers of Jin and Chu, one in the south and one in the north, did not look down on him. In the context of the century-old struggle for hegemony between Jin and Chu, Qi's hegemony was simply childish. It was better than Zheng Zhuanggong, Song Xianggong and Qin Mu Gong. If the two big countries of Jin and Chu were not defeated, it would be meaningless to sit as the hegemon. Specifically, it dismembered the Jin State in the north, weakened its biggest rival, and captured three Zhao lands in the middle of Jin, which later became Jizhou, the head of the Nine Provinces. In addition, Qingzhou, which had the advantage of fish and salt, and the dangerous passes of the Taihang Mountains served as its flanks. This situation was no worse than that of the Qin State in the land of the king's base in Guanzhong, and then conquered Zheng, Song, Lu, Wei, and Chen. These small countries serve as thugs. On the one hand, they can serve as a buffer against Chu. On the other hand, they can be summoned to fight at any time to continuously consume their national power. They occupy the essence of China in Hebei, use the Taihang Yellow River as a natural moat, attack Qin, Jin in the west, and attack Chu and Yue in the south. They suppress the emperor of Zhou and silence the princes. This is the true overlord.

I feel that if I wanted to strive for hegemony at that time, the most important thing was how to increase the population. At that time, there were a large number of savages, and various policies should be introduced to absorb this population. Only with a large population can we plant more land and dig more mines, so that we can compete for hegemony in Kyushu.

I regret not being able to kill all the Qidian eunuch dogs in my lifetime 😡

Although the nobles of the Western Han Dynasty had territories, the territories were managed by local officials, and the profits from the territories were handed over to the nobles by the court. The protagonist can learn from it.

I can't say how good the results are. It's pretty good for a new book. Its popularity is still rising. But it turns out that it's just a eunuch. . . . So speechless. . .

Lu Xiaobai had many things to start immediately at this time, because these things were related to future development prospects, but the results were slow. The most important thing to unify the world is culture, and culture requires convenient writing tools and simple text forms. At this time, he can try to make paper and improve brushes, which can make money. What's more important is that he invented simplified Chinese characters in the name of Jiang Taigong who guided him to the dream world. The horizontal and vertical fonts of simplified Chinese characters are convenient and standardized, and they are easier to remember after being simplified. After becoming the Marquis of Qi in the future, you can try to observe ordinary women's childbirth and postpartum care, and use the ideas of future generations to improve the shortcomings. At the same time, follow the example of King Goujian of Yue, encourage childbirth, and impose heavy penalties on those of the right age if they do not marry, because population is the foundation of a country, and the growth of the population with the same cultural identity is a top priority. As for the upgrading and improvement of other production tools and systems, you can write them down first and do them slowly later. In the future, the northern Yi Di will gradually unite their forces and invade the lands of the Xing, Wei, and Yan countries. It is best for the royal families of these countries, especially the main lineage of direct descendants, to be exterminated, and to die in the hands of the Yi Di, so that they can be driven away under the slogan of revenge for them. Drive out the barbarians and occupy their land. If they are lucky enough to survive, they will definitely be "robberyed and killed". There is no doubt about this. After all, there is no such thing as chaos in history, but after Lu Bai came over, there must be a butterfly effect, so there must be! Only by occupying the geographical plate of North China can Qi have the possibility of being in the world.
