Chapter 22: loyalty

Views:

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!

This is one of the most widely circulated sentences in ancient times. Since ancient times, people have constantly given various explanations to it.

And Zhong Yu's explanation is - what is the people's heart? People's will is to let your people realize that they are better off under your rule than under someone else's rule. If you work for you, you can get more benefits by working for others. This is the people's support.

People's hearts can only be revealed through comparison. The sense of superiority gained through comparison can greatly increase the loyalty of one's own people to one's own monarch.

Through comparison, the troops under Qin Shihuang knew that they were soldiers in the state of Qin. You can stand out as a soldier in the six countries, and you can gain greater benefits from fighting. Being an official and making a fortune, power and beauties can all be obtained through war, so as soon as they hear about war, they know that their opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune has come, so they must fight first in every battle.

As for the armies of the Six Nations, they knew that there was no benefit in fighting and people would die, so as soon as they heard the news that there was going to be a war, there were more deserters, people lost their hearts, the war was lost, and the Six Nations naturally perished.

Why did Zhong Yu say that within two or three years, the military-civilian ratio would reach 10:1? It's because he plans to unify the entire surrounding plains for hundreds of miles within the next two years.

Before unification, the people under his leadership saw the miserable days lived by other tribes and felt precarious, out of gratitude for giving them such a privileged life. The loyalty to oneself will definitely increase greatly, and one's own power will not be destroyed. Otherwise, they would have to live this kind of tribal life!

After the reunification, I saw that this plain was surrounded by countless forests. It should be regarded as a paradise, a remote corner or something like that!

At that time, you can close the door and plant some time. When the time comes, when you have accumulated enough strength, you will open the path from the forest to the outside, break out of the cage, and continue your journey of conquest.

And the insecurity of one's own people can also be comforted during this period of time, making them more loyal to oneself.

However, there is one most important premise for losing so much before. Without this premise, no matter how much you say, it will be useless, and you will be just delusional.

What's the premise? The premise is that you have enough power to suppress any dissatisfaction. Whoever dares to step forward will die. If you don't have enough power, how can you maintain this domineering power? The feeling of being arrogant requires enough confidence to support it.

So, what do you lack now? Power, and what is power? In this world, power comes in two forms.

The first one, which is the most reliable thing that no one can take away, is your own strength. In this world with extraordinary strength, if you have strength, everything will come to you, power, beauty, wealth and official position. , nothing is a problem, as long as you have enough strength.

The second type is power, power within the system. As long as you have a sound system, then there will be countless powerful people who will flock to work for you. The premise is that you have a good enough system and a large enough territory.

And what is the best embodiment of rights and the most reliable protector! It is military power. Being able to have an absolutely reliable army, whose loyalty to you is unquestionable, then you have the capital to face everything, and what you lack is exactly this kind of army!

Without extraordinary power, I cannot have the strength to face everything. However, as a lord, I have my own territory, my own name, and countless people who are loyal to me, but I lack the ability to guarantee all of this. The foundation, the army, and my loyal army have been crippled. They have become disloyal, no longer reliable, and can no longer suppress everything for me.

Those barbarians lost the Yellow Turban Army that checked them, and those Yellow Turban Army, due to their own reasons, caused them heavy losses. Most of the brothers who used to accompany them in life and death left, and only six were left. The loss rate reached more than 80%. .

In their hearts, they should have resentment towards themselves, but their reason told them that they could not die, so they reluctantly remained loyal to themselves!

Without Wang Daniu, who was loyal to him, to restrain the Yellow Turban Army, he could no longer command them. If he hadn't had the protection of those three hundred young men now, he might wake up at night and find himself His head has left his body and was assassinated by someone unknown to him!

And those three hundred young men had only been loyal to themselves for a few days, and their loyalty to themselves and their sense of belonging to the territory were still very weak. Just to maintain their current life, they reluctantly obeyed their own orders and protected their own safety.

I have never been so eager to get a power, a power that completely obeys me. Even when he had just come to this world and had not yet summoned the Yellow Turban Army, there was no such urgency.

Because at that time, when I faced danger, I still had some time to buffer myself. Those unknown threats did not have time to discover me so quickly. I had enough time to come up with a way to face it. The situation was not so urgent.

But now, having had his first taste of power, he can no longer bear the situation where his life is constantly threatened. The doubts, hatred, and intentions of his subordinates to kill him made him suffer all the time.

The desire to destroy everything, the intention and thought of killing all these traitors and traitors, constantly echoed in his mind and heart.

This desire for destruction has made my heart sink a little. I believe that if I really had the chance and would not waste too much of my power, I would kill all of these people without hesitation to demonstrate my authority.

Let everyone understand that even if they become weak, it is not these people who are lingering under their feet and humble servants who can resist.

So, what an omnipotent and supreme system! Can you really understand your own heart? I desperately need a power, power that is always under my control.

Absolutely obey yourself and will not question any of your orders. Even if you ask them to commit suicide, you can wipe the weapon from your neck without hesitation.

This kind of self-centered servant who thinks he is supreme is what he needs!

Zhong Yu began to pray and pray in his own heart and towards his own system. I hope that the system can understand its own intentions and issue gift packages that meet its intentions, so that its rule can be more thorough and stable.

It seems that he heard Zhong Yu's request, or that he is really lucky, and his big gift package lottery is starting.

On the blue screen in front of him, a turntable kept scrolling, and then slowly stopped, with a line of words displayed on it, First Team of the Imperial Guard.

"Congratulations to the host, you won the first batch of the Royal Guards in the lottery gift package."

Hearing the news, Zhong Yu looked stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help being surprised. God helps me!

Zhong Yu - The strong are always respected by others, and the weak are always bullied. This is the eternal truth!
