Chapter 802 Grand Strategy

The relevant discussions were sent to Zhao Bing's case through various channels. When he saw Yao Liangchen and Wei Tianzhong, who believed that they were seriously ill and had even "dead", did not dare to come to meet him, which made him feel proud of his heroic spirit and amused by their "courage". But he also understood that this was created by the times and they became a giant in Luoting's language and a dwarf in action. This legacy still affects future generations, so there are endless keyboard warriors on the Internet.

When Zhao Bing first came to this era, he was actually very afraid of the scholar-official class, but gradually he discovered the mystery of "the scholar's rebellion for ten years but failed." Because in addition to their literary advantages, they were indeed the most helpless marginal cowards in terms of actual behavioral ability and energy, and the complete loss of power determined that they were just performing a beautiful posture in literature. Because apart from being verbally patriotism, the scholar-official group did not have the ability to act freely and independently, and even the right to participate in politics.

In addition, the ancient social system caused heroes to be short of breath was their destiny. In feudal autocratic society, almost cut off any specific path for anyone who is ambitious to do things for the country. Except for relying on the state power, no matter how you love the motherland and have a grand strategy, you dare not do anything. Apart from the qualifications and paths given to you by this country, you do not have the independent patriotic rights and civil society rights. From countless or all the casual people who have lost their actual patriotic rights and patriotic capabilities, they cannot automatically organize effective civil society forces to face the crisis of the country.

Because they do not have the right and energy to independently organize any social forces among the people, they are neither able to tie up their own hands nor have the organizational power to raise their arms and respond. What's more, they are prohibited from organizing their fellow workers to spontaneously defend their country and change their society. What's more, everyone is doing their own thing, unwilling to cooperate, and they fly away when the disaster comes, and the country ignores you and cut off any hope of serving the country. The "heroes" who are destined to be lonely and powerless should be short-lived and upset. Apart from slapping the railings, no one can reach the forthcoming. What else can they do if they hold a big white and listen to the golden thread?

If you use force to deal with these scholars, it will not only violate the ancestral system, but it will also be a bit embarrassing. Therefore, Zhao Bing's strategy is to "subjugate the soldiers without fighting". According to Zhao Bing's understanding of the war Sun Tzu can actually be extended to all areas of competition in the world. Subjugate the soldiers without fighting are the best results that can be achieved by competition.

Although the current situation is not visible, Zhao Bing thinks it can be called a war without gunpowder. Even in the war, real masters do not have to fight to decide the outcome. They have long created a situation of inevitable victory through a series of plans before the war. Through the demonstration of this situation, the opponents completely lose the courage and confidence to confront each other, thus achieving the effect of "betraying" without "war" and "betraying" people.

However, in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Bing only attacked Zhao Mengqi in the newspaper, and seemed to have no effect on the initiator. Not only did he not put pressure on them, he also did not try to prevent the incident from fermenting further, causing himself to fall into a passive state. But he believed that the soldiers had no constant momentum and water had no constant form, and those who could win due to the changes of the enemy were called gods. The instinctive state of strategy was to make no constant form and win by the enemy. Only in this way could he achieve the state of being as he pleased, adapted to the changes and being unpredictable to ghosts and gods.

Therefore, Zhao Bing believes that as a planner, he should be able to subconsciously and correctly apply various strategies based on the differences in time, place, object, and surrounding conditions and environment. That is the new realm of using strategies. In history, there are indeed many wise strategists who can know themselves and enemies and predict things like God. They can often infer the future development trend of things through the clues of events through the clues of events, and be able to prepare for response in a timely manner. At critical times, key places appear in time and use correct actions to win the victory they need.

Zhao Bing thought that he could turn bad luck into good fortune in so many years. In addition to the loyal assistance of several masters and the loyalty of his army generals, he also had an omnipresent intelligence team. Because knowing oneself and enemy is an indispensable element in strategy itself. If you cannot understand yourself and cannot predict your opponent, you will not be able to produce correct strategies. Blind judgments and wrong estimates can only make people mislead their way. Therefore, the first indispensable step of strategy is to fully grasp the situation of the enemy and us, and on this basis formulate a series of correct strategies that are in line with the development of things, and turn them into actions.

After a period of investigation, Zhao Bing has already had a certain understanding of the basic context of the incident, their purpose and the people involved, but he still has questions. You must know that Chen Yizhong who was hiding behind the scenes and Yao Liangchen, who had been exposed, and Wei Tianzhong is not an ordinary person. Chen Yizhong is the former prime minister in charge of military and political affairs. Yao Liangchen has also briefly served as deputy minister and the current Minister of Revenue. You must know that the Ministry of Revenue is the most powerful department except the Ministry of Personnel, and even the Ministry of War, which is increasingly powerful, has to surrender; Wei Tianzhong served as Minister of Works on his own and is also the head of the key department.

The three old officials in the officialdom would not be unaware that it would be easy to demote the emperor without force and support from the court officials to support a devastating prince who had no power and power, but no real materials. As Zhao Bing knew, after several rectifications and blood exchanges, the court could use them in addition to some personnel from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, in addition to some of Chen Yizhong's disciples, but their attitude was not clear. Some people were swaying, and some even reported to themselves secretly. This shows that there were not many people in the court who could use them for the three.

Zhao Bing knew that there were some opposition scholars who supported them, some were dissatisfied with their policy of combining civil and military affairs, and valued the policy of using officials; some acted as traitors during the fall, surrendered to the former officials of Xiancheng, worried about being liquidated and wanted to find a backer; some were unaware of the truth and believed that their young emperor valued the Qiongzhou people and despised the scholars of Jiangnan. Although they had no official positions but had a large number, and were young and energetic, they were easily provoked.

However, Zhao Bing thought that even with the support of the government and the opposition, he could not shake his position at all. Chen Yizhong and others should also understand this truth and know what they will suffer if they fail. Therefore, he believed that he had support, but he had not yet found out who he could not find out, and this potential enemy was the most dangerous.

However, what Zhao Bing couldn't understand was why Yao Liangchen and others took such a risk to intervene in. It went against this common sense from the perspective of not fighting for profit. Although Yao Liangchen was pulled down from the prime minister, his transfer to the Minister of Revenue was not considered as surrendering him; Wei Tianzhong's talent was not outstanding, but he never removed him from his post; and Chen Yizhong's exodus to Chameng City was not done, and he stayed for many years and did not return. He did not do anything to him. After that, he even withdrew the surveillance officer, indicating that he had let him go. When he learned that he had returned to the country secretly, he just pretended not to know, just stay honestly.

In other words, Chen Yizhong and the other three are vested interests. If political turmoil is caused, the first thing that will be affected is to endanger their vested interests and even their personal safety. However, if they do this, they can only explain it with one reason that Zhao Bing thinks, then they can gain greater benefits. Judging from the current situation, they are just a powerful minister, but they may not be so bold as emperors, and with their age, they may not be able to wait for the day of usurping the throne.

Faced with the attempt of someone to "conspire for rebellion", Wen Tianxiang and his military generals thought that they should use thunderbolt to quickly suppress them, and punish them with the right laws of the country, rather than using newspapers to make them retreat. However, Zhao Bing felt that the method of attacking the other party's spirit and forcing the other party to collapse under tremendous mental pressure was the same as the deterrent method. Both of them acted on the other party's psychology. The difference was that deterrence was mostly a pre-measure before the action, while punishment was a remedial method after the action failed.

I think everyone is familiar with the criticism in the power struggle. In fact, it is nothing more than refuting the other party's language and behavior, making it lose its rationality. Criticism includes the individual criticism of the manipulator and the criticism of the masses. Its ultimately points to isolate the other party through criticism and putting it in a desperate situation where everyone is shouting and beating in the power struggle; as for allusions, it is an indirect method, although it does not directly constitute an attack on the other party. However, through roundabout means, deconstructing the other party's logic, opinions, propositions, etc., the other party loses the justice and rationality of the ideological and spiritual world, and can also achieve the effect of isolating and uglinessing the opponent.

In short, whether it is criticism or allusion, it is a way of mental strike and a means of rigid control. If used well, the controlled person can be deeply touched, which forces the other party to obey the mercy of the controller, give up his or her own opinions, and end his or her irrational behavior. It can also be regarded as one of the ways to defeat others without fighting. If it fails, you can quickly change the means and decisively use force to suppress it. In other words, if it can be deterred, it will be deterred; if the deterrence is not successful, it will be deterred.

Of course, Wen Tianxiang felt that it was too risky for his arrangements. Once they felt that the matter had been exposed and took risks, it would be a disaster even if they didn't suppress it, especially for the court who had just returned to Jiangnan. Regarding his concern, Zhao Bing thought that it would not be an exaggeration to see it from the perspective of the prime minister, and it was very appropriate, because he did not know how much strength he had, nor did he know his purpose. This was also determined by the different status and the height of his problem.

Zhao Bing naturally knew the risks he faced once things got out of control, but he thought it was worth a try. Because he knew that the more he transcended power, the more he could get more power; the more he cared about the gains and losses of power, the faster he would lose. Only by being able to transcend power and not take his own gains as much importance can he let go. The old reason said: If you are willing to give up, you will gain with giving. The so-called big mind, big ambition, and big mind all come from this.

The reason why Qin Shihuang dared to risk the danger of losing power after the defeat and was persistent in launching wars repeatedly was, on the one hand, because the national strength was super strong and he wanted to plunder greater power to launch wars; on the other hand, in his opinion, he did not take his position seriously, and did not care much about his gains and was afraid of losing. This is also an important reason. In other words, he would rather use his Qin country's country as a bet to gain a great cause of unification of the world.

If you care about the same thing very much, will you use it as a bet? But the kings of the six countries cherish their thrones and cherish their power. No one dares to rashly provoke wars, for fear that if one is careless, he will destroy his throne. Qin Shihuang used his own country as a bet, willing to take such a great danger. How could he be a person who cares about power? Zhao Bing now does not agree with the view that Qin Shihuang cherishes the people of the world and sacrifices himself. There are too many nonsense in it, which is definitely not his true intention.

Naturally, Zhao Bing would not take the hard-earned throne seriously. This was something he had worked hard to fight for. And he managed it hard to build his own country bit by bit like a swallow building a nest, so that he could easily give it back. Now he seems to be ineffective, but he just uses propaganda means to put pressure on his opponents and manipulates the court officials to stop the opponents from pressing step by step. In fact, he adopts a strategy of standby action.

Zhao Bing's understanding of the way to standby implies several meanings: one is to nourish the energy. When the opportunity is unfavorable, you will retreat, nourish the energy, and accumulate strength by yourself; the second is to control the movement with static. The third is to attack the opponent. The opponent starts and I respond without moving, so that the opponent has nowhere to focus; when I see the right time, find the opponent's flaw, and then use the action to subdue the opponent.

Lao Tzu also said, "High is the root of light, and quiet is the king of restlessness. Therefore, a gentleman walks all day long and never leaves his baggage. Although he has glory and observation, the swallow is transcendent. However, the master of the ten thousand chariots is light on the world? If he is light, he will lose his ministers, and he will lose his king." He also said, "The female always defeats the male with quietness, and takes quietness as the lower one." This shows that Lao Tzu attaches great importance to silence and believes that silence is the root of movement. And applying this principle in the way of waiting is to use silence to control movement, keep it still, observe the other party's movement, and find its flaws in the other party's movement.
