The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 93: Strategy
This time the Northern Expedition, Zhong Yu was divided into three stages. The first stage was to encircle Luoyang from all directions and attack together from Nanyang, Chang'an, Hanoi, and Xingyang counties.
Using his strong military strength, coupled with the support of the surrender soldiers of the counties, together to share the few soldiers in the Han Dynasty.
makes these four directions, the number of defenders in each place is only 20,000 to 30,000, which cannot form a large defensive circle.
In addition to instigating the internal strife of the defenders, it can be said that breaking these defenses is very easy.
The second stage is when the army breaks through the defenses and surrounds Luoyang City. It is best to make a forced landing of the Han Lingdi.
Let this spiritual leader, political leader, military leader of the entire Han Dynasty, after losing the goal of fighting for him in the heart of many ministers who still want to fight for him, the will to resist completely collapsed.
, using the great righteousness of Lingdi's name as the supreme leader of the Han Dynasty, he ordered the princes and counties in various places to unconditionally put down resistance and take refuge in themselves.
In order to achieve this goal, I prepared a prefecture and seven counties for the Lingdi as a seal of the country, and prepared 25 counties for the prestigious elders from all over the Liu family in the Han Dynasty to buy and Distract them.
In order to stabilize the place, they are afraid to cleanse the hearts of the Liu clan members of the entire Han Dynasty clan and disintegrate their will to resist.
lest they ran into the hands of princes everywhere with ulterior motives, and used them as banners to call on the people everywhere to resist themselves and cause themselves a lot of trouble.
And the noble families in various places have set a rule themselves. Each state allows their local noble families to elect a noble family with the strongest strength and accepts awards from one county and four counties, and other noble families There is only one county.
But there is a problem. There must be a few big families with the closest strengths in a state, and they will be in charge of the order of the entire state family.
And every state, one county, four counties, only one family can get the rewards, but there are many families who want to get this cup of pie.
Who will pick it up, and who will accept this award and appointment on behalf of the gentry of the entire state, this is not something that can be easily let out, this is righteous. Once let go, the family that gets a county can use this great righteousness to order the gentry of the entire state.
Then the few families that were not much different in strength will slowly widen the gap, completely and the benefited family will become two different classes, and have survived in the shadow of that family from then on.
So even if all the soldiers in this state know that this is a strategy, the naked differentiation and separation of their relationship, but related to the interests of their own family’s future destiny, how can they bear it and not eat Get this tempting bait!
So this is a conspiracy, right in front of you, do you have to eat it or not? Accept his mercy and contribute his strength to serve Zhong Yu.
And even in the hearts of some gentry in this state, they couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to rebel. But most of the gentry who have already gained benefits will unite and quell this troublemaker who wants to undermine their vested interests.
This kind of strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the pot, the various princes who want to unify the world in ancient and modern times, don't the emperors know? They know, but they dare not use it. They are afraid that they will become the second Zhou emperor and will be at the mercy of the princes and kings throughout the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period.
So they knew that this would allow them to unify the world faster, but they still chose a centralized county system.
And China’s second dynasty similar to the enfeoffment system of Zhou Tianzi, the Tang Dynasty clearly proved the drawbacks of this enfeoffment system.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the vassals of the vassal towns in various places were like the princes of Zhou Tianzi during the Spring and Autumn Period, nominally obeying Zhou Tianzi's orders, but in fact they ceded their territories and defended themselves.
is just missing a nominal national title. In fact, it is no different from a country. Official taxes are all set by themselves. Even the law is different from that of Datang. They are completely different countries.
So this situation lasted more than 100 years after him. The Tang Dynasty, which had been completely ruined, was destroyed by these princes like Zhou Tianzi at the end of the Warring States Period, and disappeared into the dust of history.
And my goal is not in this small Three Kingdoms world. The concept of those territories is even less worthy of mentioning my aspiration to establish a heaven and dominate the heavens and worlds.
So I can disregard any drawbacks, wantonly entrust these princes, and can also use my favor to those princes to further their support and awe of their heavenly court.
Just like Zhou Tianzi used his enfeoffment, the establishment of a normative etiquette in line with the interests of princes everywhere has made China abide by the rules of this ancient dynasty for thousands of years and call itself a country of etiquette.
This kind of successful case that is clearly placed in front of me, how can I ignore it? Oneself can completely canonize various princes in every world conquered by oneself, and let them organize the ceremony on time, and make sacrifices to their own heaven at four o'clock.
and formed a country that was established without the recognition and canonization of the heaven. It is against the will of God and lacks the virtue and ability to accept the worship of a country.
After forms a kind of righteousness, no matter any world, as long as you are under your command, you must be loyal to yourself and offer your own belief ~IndoMTL.com~ to be able to establish and survive.
Just like the emperor in ancient times, he has to offer sacrifices to the world every year and declare to the world his righteousness to rule the country. This is a habit and moral constraint.
In the third stage, after the forced landing in Luoyang City, the army was sent to conquer those local princes who did not obey themselves and wanted to defeat the stubborn resistance, so as to unify the entire Three Kingdoms world in one fell swoop and accomplish their goals and goals of coming to this world.
According to this strategic goal, Zhong Yu still separated four armies and handed them over to his four generals, Wang Fang, Han Kai, Li Zhen, and Zhao Ping, respectively leading the four armies to attack together from four directions. Luoyang.
Two months after went on the march, all armies had arrived at the corresponding positions and controlled various counties and counties in the surrounding area. Those gentry who surrendered to themselves provided food, grass, and weapons, and they could feed themselves on the spot without worrying about logistical pressure.
, and Zhong Yu brought an elite army of 100,000 to Yingchuan County, and was seated in Xuchang City, the county seat of Yingchuan County, to control the entire battle in the rear.
And the supplement that passed through various places and surrendered counties, has expanded to 600,000 cannon fodder for him, and was taken to fill the endless levels of consumption.
is also a dynasty that has been passed down to him for nearly four hundred years. There are still some background and loyal righteous people. The **** people still have to die. Without bloodshed, how can one completely unify the dynasty?
And from the 600,000 cannon fodder, I can once again get his hundreds of thousands of elites, and when he destroys this small world, he will get enough luck.
will be able to bring these troops back to the main world after several years of training and fighting in the Three Kingdoms world, so as to provide great support for the conquest of the Lost Lands in the future.
