The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Chapter 37: Checks and balances

Views:

In the early morning, facing the rising sun, an army of eight hundred people slowly marched northward in the sunshine.

Zhong Yu rode a horse and walked in the center of the team, surrounded by several guards. He cherishes his life very much and must be on guard against any danger.

If you can nip any danger in the cradle, you will not let it grow. If you can prevent it in advance, you will not let it get close to you deliberately.

This is a lesson that every superior person must do. You can give up everything and don't care about anything, but you feel that you have to care about your own life.

As long as you are still alive, you can use your identity to attract a large number of people who are loyal to you anytime and anywhere, and who want to use your identity to gain promotions and gain countless benefits, and come out to surround you.

By then, I won’t have the confidence to make a comeback. Where there is life, there is hope. Therefore, Zhong Yu would never go to the battlefield alone unless necessary.

Even if he is going to the battlefield, he must make sure that there is no fatal danger on the battlefield. Will there be a danger of death for himself? Only when you are sure of everything and know that these pose little threat to you and will not have any fatal possibility, will you rush to the battlefield under the protection of the guards around you.

That's right, even if you go to the battlefield, you have to bring a large number of people enough to protect your own life. To prevent a lot of possible conspiracies surrounding plotting your own life.

In this way, with Zhong Yu's secret pride, the army slowly moved forward, and after walking for more than ten miles, they arrived at the Mengla tribe. Here, under the continuous construction by the captives of the Mongla tribe, after a month, it already looked like a smaller town.

The foundation of the city has not yet been laid, but all the residential buildings in the city have been almost completed and can accommodate hundreds of people. As long as a few walls are built to surround the city and a few official residences are built, it will be a small county in ancient China.

Of course, in this place where extraordinary things are rampant and great power continues. Such a small city is far from enough to protect the safety of the people in the north of the city, so it can only be regarded as the basic defense of a small town. The city wall is only five meters high, even if you are facing a second-level person. The man was also able to climb the wall easily.

Therefore, unless there is someone with extraordinary strength on our side, if the opponent has a second-level or above person, then this simple city defense will be easily broken by the enemy.

According to Zhong Yu's plan, for a small town at the township level, the wall is five meters high, for a small town at the county level, the wall is ten meters high, for a large city at the county level, the wall is fifteen meters high, and for a major city at the prefecture level, the wall is twenty meters high. A state-level capital city with walls thirty meters high. A Tao-level imperial city with walls fifty meters high.

The Mengla tribe is just a township-level area, and according to regulations, it can only build a five-meter-high city wall. Luoyang City will be a county town hundreds of miles away, so a fifteen-meter-high city wall can be built.

All of this was planned in my mind when the construction of Luoyang City finally started. All of this must be done in accordance with etiquette, rules and regulations. Come and strictly abide by it. Unless you have your own orders, you cannot go beyond them in the slightest.

If they go beyond the limit, they are rebellious and intend to rebel. Anyone can kill them and implicate the nine tribes to deter the world.

Etiquette, system, and law, these three things are a good thing. They give protection to the weak so that they can create more wealth for themselves with peace of mind. They give restraints to the strong and make them carry the bonds of loyalty, filial piety, kindness, and common sense.

These shackles, one after another, kept entangling them, making them carry a heavy burden and make them breathless. Don't dare to violate any of the dogma given by the weak, don't dare to go beyond it in the slightest.

A few common-sense actions and words will be criticized by everyone. Words can sometimes kill. It's just that he didn't do it directly, but used the pressure of everyone around him to make the person unable to bear it mentally and commit suicide.

And even if the strong have the power to resist everything, they can destroy all etiquette and dogma and kill all the weak who dare to criticize themselves. However, the person they care about and are tied to is unable to see through everything because he is a weak person.

In other words, he is afraid of everything and needs the protection of these etiquette and dogma, and constantly restrains the strong man, accepts the requirements of the world, and slowly becomes a mediocre person.

Become a dog of the superior, work for the superior, and then, in order to stand out for the so-called glory of the ancestors, constantly squandering your own blood, squeezing your own strength, and slowly being sucked out of the marrow and bones.

Until it has no use value and is abandoned, becoming a corpse on the roadside that no one has heard of. The people you care about will also be sad for a while because of your disappearance, and then go looking for the way to survive. capital.

And those who dare to resist will crush all who dare to block their way. Even if someone he cares about dares to stand in his way, he will tear it apart at all costs. Use it to confirm the so-called capacity in your heart. Is it powerful or not? Is it enough

Therefore, the world is afraid of those people, giving them vicious names one after another, and distorting and fabricating everything they do. Let the world understand that such people are hateful, cruel, and cannot be tolerated by the world.

And they were given names one after another, such as coward, tyrant, and tyrant, which sounded like very good names. I want to use this to warn those who are capable, so that they dare not violate it and risk their own lives and the safety of their families to test the power of this common sense.

After inspecting the city's construction situation, he gave some brief instructions. Zhong Yu took his rested army and set off again, heading to the first tribe ten miles in front of him to begin her journey of conquest.

Continuous sweeps along the way. With the previous experience, everything went smoothly and there were no major mistakes. Those tribes were wiped out one after another by themselves.

In this way, time passed slowly, and five days passed like this. Zhong Yu had already swept the plains thirty miles north of the Mengla tribe. The thirty miles around this area are except for a few gathering points set by Zhong Yu. There is no longer any human habitation. All the people were captured by Zhong Yu and gathered in one place to become the foundation of his rule.

In this battle, a total of more than 2,400 people were gained. Except for Su who sent more than 900 people to the Mengla tribe to assist them in building a new city, the remaining 1,500 people were all separated by him, and every 500 people went there. , a place to build a village.

In this way, the three villages are the horns of each other. Each village radiates a radius of ten miles, and the surrounding area of thirty miles can be completely under its own control and rule.

Zhong Yu also left behind 100 young men and 150 barbarian servants to jointly guard these prisoners. And he continued on the road with the remaining 100 guards, 300 strong men, and 150 barbarian servants.

This time, his goal was to connect the two territories he had conquered before. Zhong Yu's territory is like a cross. The northeast, southeast, and southwest of the cross are all boundless forests, and he is in the center of this cross.

The north and west are the territories previously acquired. Both directions have been conquered, but the fan-shaped area in the middle does not have any power of his own, so this time he plans to open it up in one fell swoop and connect his territory into one.

From the previous curvy shape, it became a thick piece. Having a strong rear can provide a steady stream of motivation for his conquests in the front.
