The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 22

[Chapter 22 People’s Hearts]

But don’t be afraid now, with the protection of this group of newly trained young soldiers, there shouldn’t be much of a problem with your own safety.

They can still believe in their loyalty.

They have been displaced for so long, because of their shelter, they can stay in their own territory, live a peaceful life, have a house, land and wife, and do not worry about food or clothing.

It can be said that such a life cannot be enjoyed in a peaceful and prosperous world, not to mention that they have not had the slightest guarantee of life before, are not well-dressed, and may starve to death at any time?

Now, needless to say, they are tightly protecting themselves, and anyone who tries to get close to them has been checked over and over again by them.

In order that their hard-earned lives will not be destroyed, and to live a life that was displaced by the war before, they will spontaneously protect themselves – this person who is in danger of the territory.

As long as they are alive and well, then this territory will not be chaotic, and their lives will be guaranteed.

So anyone who wants to hurt themselves is their life-and-death enemy, an enemy who kills their parents.

Sitting upright in his place, Zhong Yu stayed quietly in his study alone.

After brewing a cup of hot tea, the mist was steaming, and he was holding a volume of books in his hand. As he watched slowly, his somewhat anxious heart gradually calmed down.

The long-lost voice of the system sounded 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 rewarding primary gift package, please open the host yourself.”

It’s finally here, and it’s not worth his hard work to win this war.

Beginner spree, I don’t know what can be unlocked this time. The novice spree last time came out of the exile, I don’t know what to see this time?

The best thing is to make your strength soar and lay your foundation!

According to the consistent character of the system, every time he said something, it was extremely necessary for him.

For example, I have just arrived on this continent, and I have nothing on my body that can help me tide over the difficulties. I am helpless, but I have countless resources and a very luxurious mansion, so the system seems to understand. Because of his own worries, he sent out a pair of Yellow Turbans to protect his own safety.

Then, after I had the Yellow Turban Army and swept away some small tribes, I found that my population was too small. I wanted to wait until the population was sufficient to upgrade the territory, but I didn’t know how long it would take.

The surrounding plains for hundreds of miles have wiped out all those small tribes, and I don’t know if they can gather enough population to upgrade.

And maybe there will be something that is far more powerful than the big tribe. At that time, people will look at him and think he is too arrogant. They will send some small troops gently, and maybe they will be able to destroy themselves.

After all, this is a world with extraordinary force. A Denier who has just entered the second rank is so strong, not to mention the tribes with thousands or even tens of thousands of people. Maybe there will be third-order or even fourth-order ones. Existence, then how can I resist it!

So the system immediately gave itself a refugee camp, allowing it to greatly replenish the population.

Now, because of the refugee camp, his population has greatly increased.

And it has also developed in a very balanced way. It is no longer just the army and young adults, but also some women, old people and children, which greatly balances the proportion of males and females in the territory, the old and the weak.

Improve the happiness of the territorial people, and greatly enhance the sense of belonging of all the territorial people to the territorial.

Excluding those troops who have died in battle, the population in my territory is now about 2,300, close to 2,400.

Of these, 324 were drawn to form the army.

There were only 2,000 civilians left, and the army ratio was almost 7:1. This was a very abnormal situation.

In ancient China, if it was a peaceful and prosperous age, then the proportion of his army was 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 troubled world, as long as the court has not collapsed and still maintains its most basic rule, then his army will be 700,000 or 800,000.

The population may have experienced some decline due to the more chaotic world, probably only 40 to 50 million.

But their population to army ratio is no more than 60:1.

Even if the times are completely troubled, their army exceeds 1 million, or even 2 million, and the population is only 20 to 30 million.

Then their population ratio is just 10:1, 20:1.

With such a population ratio, it can be said that it is extremely abnormal to use military force.

Greatly destroyed, the stable development of the society is set, which will make the residents feel very unsafe, and the sense of happiness and belonging to the territory will be greatly damaged.

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 prestige and the brutal suppression in the past, they can temporarily swallow all their doubts and dare not show it, but if they show fatigue, Or if it is suppressed for a long time, the problem will still erupt.

Why was the Shu Kingdom destroyed the earliest during the Three Kingdoms period, because the ratio of their population to the army + officials was the highest, reaching 7:1,

Soochow Wu’s population to army + officials was 8.3:1, and Cao Cao’s population to army + officials ratio was 9:1.

With such a heavy population burden, seven people have to support one person who eats the country’s food. In this way, there is no public resentment, and at the same time, natural and man-made disasters continued, droughts, floods, plagues, riots, and ethnic minority rebellions. In a safe social environment, all the people can say that they have been looking forward to peace in the world for a long time.

Therefore, when the State of Wei destroyed the State of Shu, the country that had ruled the land of Shu for more than forty years, spanned two generations, and nearly three generations, was supported by an army that was not much larger than itself, and had a strong and dangerous pass. General Wei of the state was wiped out.

Even when the Wei army entered Shu, all the literati and people scrambled to seek refuge with him.

So much so that Deng Ai had only 5,000 troops, but he easily wiped out a country with hundreds of thousands of troops, which could even reach more than 200,000 when it was urgently mobilized.

It is not every place where the scholars and people come to seek refuge. As a result, the army is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are seeking refuge, and there are fewer and fewer people in the state of Shu who support him. Compared with the two generals Next, what is the reason for the demise of the Shu Kingdom?

This is what his life should be like!

And his current population ratio is very close to that of Shu Kingdom, although it is said that as long as those barbarians are adult males, when there is war, they all need to join the army to defend their tribes.

They are more insecure than their own people, but they have had to do this since ancient times in order to survive.

But most of the people on the territory of my own are some refugees. They have been civilized, and they pay more attention to these issues. In their blood and bones, there is no more barbarism and yearning for civilization. , and pay more attention.

If you want to maintain your most basic rule, then in the next two or three years, the people under your own territory, within the maximum tolerance period, you must adjust the population ratio to 10:1, or 20 as soon as possible. :1, so as to ensure their most basic rule.

Otherwise, although those territorial people are forced by their own power, they dare not resist too obviously, but their loyalty to themselves will definitely not be much higher.

In a delicate state, when you are strong, I will serve you, and if you are powerless for this kind of knowledge, I will help others to kill you!
