The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 94

[Chapter 93 Strategy]

This northern expedition, Zhong Yu is divided into three stages, the first stage is to surround Luoyang in all directions, from Nanyang, Chang’an, Hanoi, Xingyang four counties to attack together.

Using his strong military strength, coupled with the support of the surrendered soldiers in various counties, together to share those soldiers who were not many in the Han Dynasty.

In these four directions, the number of defenders in various places is only 20,000 to 30,000, and it is impossible to form a large defensive circle.

Coupled with the internal strife that he instigated those defenders, it can be said that breaking these defenses is very easy.

The second stage is that after the army has broken through the defenses and surrounded Luoyang City, it is best to force Emperor Ling of Han to surrender.

Let the spiritual leader, political leader, and military leader of the entire Han Dynasty, after many courtiers who still wanted to fight stubbornly for him, lost the goal of fighting for him in their hearts, and the will to resist completely collapsed.

Then, using the righteousness of the supreme leader of the Han Dynasty in the name of Emperor Ling, he ordered those lords and governors in various places to unconditionally put down their resistance and rely on themselves.

In order to achieve this goal, he prepared a territory of seven counties in one county for Emperor Ling as a fiefdom, and he prepared 25 counties for the reputable elders of the Liu family in the Han Dynasty to buy and disperse them.

In order to stabilize the various places, they were afraid to cleanse the hearts of the Liu clan of the entire Han Dynasty clan and disintegrate their will to resist.

Lest they run into the hands of local lords with ulterior motives and serve as banners to call on the people everywhere to rebel against them, causing them a lot of trouble.

The aristocratic families in various places have also set a rule. Each state allows their local aristocratic families to nominate a noble family with the strongest strength and accept the awards from four counties in one county. Other families have only one county. .

But there is a problem. There must be several big families with the closest strength in a state, and they are in charge of the order of the entire state family.

And in each state, one county and four counties, only one family can get the reward, but there are many families who want to get this share.

Who will pick it up and who will represent the entire state’s gentry to accept this award?

Once let go, the aristocratic family who got a county can use this righteousness to order the gentry of the entire state.

Then several families with similar strengths will gradually widen the gap, completely and the family that has benefited, become two different classes, and survive in the shadow of that family from now on.

Therefore, even if all the soldiers in this state know that this is a tactic, and the relationship between them is starkly divided, but the interests of their own family’s future destiny are in the first place, how can they hold back and not eat this temptation Human bait!

So this is a conspiracy, in front of you, do you want to eat it all?

Accept his mercy, so as to contribute his own strength to serve Zhong Yu.

And even some nobles in this state couldn’t hold their breath and wanted to rebel.

But most of the gentry who have already obtained the interests will unite to pacify the troublemaker who wants to destroy their vested interests.

Don’t the emperors know about this kind of strategy of drawing wages from the bottom of the pot, ancient and modern princes who want to unify the world?

They knew it, but they didn’t dare to use it. They were afraid that they would become the second emperor of Zhou and be at the mercy of the princes and kings throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

So they knew that this would allow them to unify the world faster, but they still chose the centralized county system.

The Tang Dynasty, the second dynasty in China similar to the feudal system of Zhou Tianzi, clearly proved the drawbacks of this feudal system.

After the An-Shi Rebellion, the feudal lords in various regions were like the feudal lords of Zhou Tianzi in the Spring and Autumn Period. They obeyed Zhou Tianzi’s orders in name, but in fact they ceded their territories.

It just lacks a nominal national title. In fact, it is no different from a country. Officials’ taxes are all set by themselves, and even the laws are different from those of the Tang Dynasty. They are completely two different countries.

Therefore, this situation lasted for more than 100 years after him, and the completely ruined Tang Dynasty was destroyed by these princes, just like the emperor of Zhou at the end of the Warring States Period, and disappeared into the dust of history.

And his goal is not in this small world of the Three Kingdoms. Those concepts of territory are not worth mentioning to his goal of establishing a heavenly court and ruling the heavens and the world.

Therefore, he can disregard any drawbacks, arbitrarily enfeoff these princes, and he can also use his favor to those princes to further their support and awe of their own heavenly court.

Just as Zhou Tianzi used his enfeoffment to establish a standard etiquette in line with the interests of the princes of various places, China has followed the rules of this ancient dynasty for thousands of years and called itself a state of etiquette.

How can I ignore this kind of successful case that is clearly placed in front of me?

In every world conquered by himself, he can freely canonize various princes,

And let them organize the ceremony on time and offer sacrifices to their own heaven at the four seasons.

And form a country that was established without being recognized and canonized by its own heavenly court.

It is contrary to the will of God and has no virtue and ability to accept the worship of a country.

After a kind of righteousness is formed, then no matter what the world is, as long as it is under its command, it must be loyal to itself and profess its own beliefs, so that UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com can be established and survived.

Just like the emperor in ancient times, he had to make sacrifices to heaven and earth every year to declare to the world his righteousness to rule the country. This is a habit and a moral constraint.

The third stage, after the forced landing in Luoyang City, sent troops to conquer those local lords who disobeyed themselves and wanted to resist stubbornly, so as to unify the entire Three Kingdoms world in one fell swoop and complete their purpose and goal of coming to this world.

According to this strategic goal, Zhong Yu divided four armies and handed them over to his four generals, Wang Fang, Han Kai, Li Zhen, and Zhao Ping, who led the four armies to attack Luoyang together from four directions.

Two months after the expedition, the various armies have arrived at the corresponding positions and have controlled the surrounding counties.

There are those gentry who provide food, grass and ordnance to them, so they can eat on the spot without worrying about logistical pressure.

And Zhong Yu came to Yingchuan County with an elite army of 100,000, and sat in Xuchang City, the county seat of Yingchuan County, and controlled the entire battle situation from the rear.

And after passing through various places, the supplement of surrendered counties has expanded to his 600,000 cannon fodder, and was taken to fill the consumption of those endless levels.

After all, it is a dynasty that has inherited him for nearly 400 years. There are still some heritage and loyal righteous people. Damn people still have to die. Without bloodshed, how can a dynasty be completely unified?

And from the 600,000 cannon fodder, he can get his more than 100,000 elites again, and then after he destroys this small world, he will get enough luck points.

It is possible to bring these army back to the main world after years of training and fighting in the world of the Three Kingdoms, so as to provide great support for the conquest of the lost land in the future.
