In other words, the Jin royal family only had control over an army of 700,000.
The power controlled by the aristocratic families is as much as 1.3 million.
Although aristocratic families are composed of multiple clans gathered together, they do not necessarily work together.
However, once a conflict breaks out between the aristocratic families and the royal family, all the aristocratic families will definitely put aside their prejudices against each other at the first opportunity.
Then they fought together against the Jin royal family.
It is precisely for this reason that Ji Chong'er finds it difficult to change the current situation in a short period of time.
But the reform plan has already been promulgated.
The aristocratic families have come to hate the royal family and have begun to make moves behind the scenes.
Ji Chong'er never thought about what to do to the State of Qin.
Now he just wants to put his own little piece of land in order.
Only in this way can we have the energy to expand outward in a real sense.
After hearing Li Yuan's words, he responded personally: "We, the Jin State, don't need you, a minister of Chu, to worry about our affairs."
Upon hearing this, the latter immediately bowed and said, "Emperor Jin! Let me ask you, if your country's land could become more vast, would the contradictions you are facing now still be considered contradictions?"
As for what the contradiction is, everyone knows it, but they just can't say it out loud.
Ji Chong'er was also thinking deeply about the meaning of his words.
If the State of Jin had new territory, the royal family would be able to build up its own power in the new territory.
In this way, we do have the capital to compete with the aristocratic families.
The most crucial point is that once those territories are conquered, the benefits gained by the royal family will be immeasurable.
After all, war is the most expensive and the most profitable.
With money, Ji Chong'er could give the royal family more power.
While Ji Chong'er was hesitating, Mao Sui said, "We still need to discuss the matter here in detail. Please ask the Chu envoy to go back and rest."
Li Yuan bowed and left.
The most taboo thing when discussing something with another country is to ask when the results will come out.
After Li Yuan retreated.
Ji Chong'er summoned Mao Sui, Lin Xiangru, Yue Yi, Han Feizi, Shen Buhai, Wei Wuji, Pang Juan, Jie Zitui, Zhang Liang and other ministers to discuss the alliance with the State of Chu.
Le Yi was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, even if we form an alliance with Chu to attack Qin together, then our Great Jin will have to mobilize at least a million troops.
Even if we agree, will the soldiers agree?"
Everyone is very clear about Le Yi's abilities.
I know what he is best at is defeating the strong with the weak.
Even so, it was said that it would take a million soldiers to conquer the State of Qin. This is enough to show that the Qin State today is far from being the weak Qin of the past.
In this world, Le Yi was originally a minister of the State of Yan, but because of some things, he was suspected by the Emperor of Yan, so he had to flee to the State of Jin, which was hostile to Yan.
Ji Chong'er said in disbelief, "A million soldiers? As far as I know, the Chu State has already sent out 1.5 million troops. Why do we still need to send out a million soldiers?"
Le Yi said, "Your Majesty, the Qin Emperor Ying Yuan is deeply loved by the people, and now the people in Qin all follow his lead.
If he could encourage the people of Qin to join the army and resist us, then he could raise an army of millions in at least three months.
Although the combat effectiveness of those temporarily recruited soldiers is generally low, the capabilities they unleash when their country is invaded are extremely powerful.
With the rise and fall of one side, and the cooperation with Chu, our Great Jin must send out at least one million soldiers!"
Mao Sui echoed, "Your Majesty, according to the analysis of the Supervisory Council, if Qin is really forced to that point, it can indeed mobilize all its people into military service.
Mobilizing a million troops to attack Qin is already a very impressive undertaking. After all, we want to destroy Qin, not just negotiate with it.
yes.
What they discussed today.
It is not about conquering the land of Qin.
But to destroy the Qin State.
Among the nations, the destruction of a country has not occurred for hundreds of years.
When these famous ministers and generals of Jin State sat together to discuss, they believed that destroying Qin was not an impossible task.
Ji Chong'er said in a deep voice: "From what you said, we can form an alliance with the State of Chu, but in order to achieve the goals of the two countries, our country must mobilize a million troops?
To be honest, a mere one million troops is not unacceptable to our Jin State. It's just that in recent years, due to political reforms, there have been endless riots in the country.
The State of Yan has always been eyeing our State of Jin with eager eyes!"
In this area, the overall national strength of Jin is slightly lower than that of Yan.
Slightly higher than Qi.
Higher than the State of Chu, and far higher than the State of Qin.
Of course, this is for now.
Once Qin's canal and imperial examinations are completed, Qin's national strength will inevitably increase rapidly in a short period of time.
By then, even surpassing the State of Chu would be a piece of cake.
Le Yi clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this. I know a lot about the State of Yan.
As long as I am here, Yan will not gain any advantage unless they start a war with Jin!"
He has the confidence to say such things.
It’s not because he was a famous general in Yan State.
Moreover, the troubles that Yan State is currently facing are not small.
Today is an era of great conflict, unlike ten or five years ago, which was still a period of peace.
The wars that have broken out in various countries in the past two years may be the sum of the wars in the past two or three decades.
