The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 22: People’s Heart
But now there is no need to be afraid. With the protection of this group of newly trained young soldiers, there shouldn't be a big problem with your own safety. They can still believe in their loyalty.
They have been displaced for so long, because their shelter can stay in their own territory and lead a peaceful life, with a house and a wife, and no worries about food and clothes.
This kind of life, it can be said that they can't enjoy it in the peaceful and heyday. What's more, they didn't have the slightest living security before, and they could starve to death at any time because they were undressed?
Now, needless to say, they have tightly protected themselves, and anyone who tries to get close to them has been checked over and over again by them.
In order that their hard-won life will not be destroyed, they will re-live the life that was previously displaced by the war, and they will spontaneously protect themselves-a person who is in danger in the territory.
As long as they are still alive, then this territory will not be chaotic, and their lives will be guaranteed. So anyone who wants to hurt themselves is their enemy of life and death, like the enemy of murdering parents.
sat in his place, Zhong Yu, staying quietly in his study. After making a cup of hot tea, it was misty, holding a book in his hand, and watching slowly, his a little anxious heart also slowly calmed down.
The long-lost voice of the system rang in my ears, "Ding, congratulations to the host, for winning the first war with a level of more than 100 people. Complete the side quests and get a bonus primary gift package. Please open the host by yourself."
has finally come. It is worth noting that I have worked so hard to win this war. The junior gift package, I don’t know what can be opened this time. The last novice gift package was out of Liuminying. I don’t know what will I see this time?
It’s best to be able to increase your strength and lay your foundation!
According to the consistent character of the system, every time he says something is extremely necessary for him.
For example, I just came to this continent and there is nothing in my body that can help me through the difficult times. I don’t have the power to bind my chickens, but I have countless resources, a very luxurious and luxurious mansion, so The system seemed to understand their worries, so they drove out a pair of Yellow Turbans to protect their safety.
Then, I had the Yellow Turban Army, and after sweeping down some small tribes, I found that my population was too small. I wanted to wait until the population was sufficient to upgrade my territory, but I didn't know how long it would take.
The surrounding plains of hundreds of miles have wiped out all the small tribes, and I don’t know if I can make up enough population to upgrade.
And maybe there is something far more powerful than the big tribe. When the time comes, people will see themselves as unhappy, thinking that they are too arrogant, and gently send a few small troops, maybe they can be wiped out.
After all, this is a world with extraordinary power. A De Nair who has just entered the second tier is so strong, not to mention those tribes with thousands or even tens of thousands of people, maybe there will be a third tier, or even How can I resist the existence of Tier 4 at that time!
So the system immediately gave itself a refugee camp, so that it can greatly supplement the population. Now, because of the refugee camp, his population has greatly increased.
and developed in an extremely balanced manner. There are no longer only the army and young adults, but also some women, old people and children, which greatly balances the proportion of men and women in the territory, the old and the weak population. It improves the happiness of the people, and greatly enhances the sense of belonging of the people in all the territories.
Excluding the troops that have died in battle, the current population in my territory is about 2,300, which is close to about 2,400. Of these, 324 were drawn out to form an army.
There are only two thousand people left, and the army ratio is almost 7:1. This is very abnormal.
In ancient China, if it was a peaceful and prosperous age, his army would be relatively small. With an army of about 300,000 and a population of about 50 to 60 million, the ratio of population to army is 200:1.
Even in a relatively unstable and chaotic world, as long as the court has not collapsed and still maintains its most basic rule, then his army will be seven or eight hundred thousand. The population may have declined due to the chaotic world, and it is only about 40-50 million. But the ratio of their population to the army is only 60:1.
Even if the times are completely troubled, their army exceeds 1 million, even 2 million, and the population is only 20 to 30 million. Then their population ratio is only 10:1, 20:1.
The proportion of the population like my own is completely abnormal. Greatly damaged, and setting the stable development of the society will make the people feel very insecure, and the happiness and sense of belonging to the territory will be greatly destroyed. What followed was the distrust of the territory and the questioning of the Lord's abilities.
This is a very dangerous thing. In a short period of time, with their own prestige, and the brutal suppression in the past, they can temporarily swallow all their doubts into their stomachs, not dare to show them, but if they reveal themselves If you are tired, or depressed for a long time, problems will break out.
Why was Shu Kingdom the first to be destroyed during the Three Kingdoms period? It was because the ratio of their population to army + officials was the highest, reaching 7:1. Soochow's population to army + officials was 8.3:1, Cao Cao The ratio of population to army + officials is 9:1.
With such a heavy population burden, seven people have to support a person who eats the country’s food. In this way, there is no public grievance, and there were constant natural and man-made disasters at the time, such as droughts, floods, plagues, riots, and ethnic minority rebellions. In such an unsafe social environment, all the people can be said to have been expecting peace in the world for a long time.
Therefore, when the State of Wei wiped out the State of Shu, this country that ruled Shu for more than forty years, spanning two generations, and the past three generations, was affected by a country with no more troops than its own, and there was a dangerous pass. The generals of the State of Wei who depended on them were wiped out~IndoMTL.com~ Even when the Wei Army entered Shu, all the scholars and people fought for refuge. It can be said that they are eating pots of pulp to welcome the king. So Deng Ai has no more than five thousand troops, but a country with more than one hundred thousand troops, which can even reach more than two hundred thousand at the time of emergency mobilization, was easily wiped out.
Not every place where they went, the scholars and people came to take refuge. As a result, the army became larger and the number of people who took refuge in became larger and larger, and there were fewer and fewer people supporting him in the Kingdom of Shu. In contrast, what can be said for the demise of the Shu Kingdom? This is his fate!
And his current population ratio is very close to that of Shu, although those barbarians as long as they are adult males, when there is war, they need to join the army to defend their tribe.
They are more insecure than their own citizens, but they have had to do this for survival since ancient times.
But most of the people on my own territory are refugees. They have been civilized, and they pay more attention to these problems. Their blood and bones no longer have the barbarians. For The yearning for civilization has also paid more attention to it.
If you want to maintain your basic rule, then within the next two or three years, the people under your own territory will have to adjust the population ratio to 10:1 as soon as possible within the maximum tolerance period. , Or 20:1, so as to guarantee one's most basic rule.
Otherwise, although those leading people are forced by their own power and dare not resist too obvious, but their loyalty will definitely not be much higher.
is in a kind of situation. When you are strong, I will work for you. If you are powerless for this kind of knowledge, I will help others to get rid of your subtle state!
