After wiping out the three tribes, it meant that Zhong Yu had pacified the entire southeastern part of the Lost Plains and became a prince with an area of hundreds of miles and a population of tens of thousands under his rule.
He has taken the final step towards his goal of ruling a territory with a population of tens of thousands. As long as he returns to the territory's internal affairs hall, he can start upgrading the system, and he can build his own country, improve his own system, and start his own cultivation. road.
Gather together the three tribes that have suffered huge population losses after their own killings. After some adjustments to the population of other captives, the proportion of men and women was adjusted, and a pavilion-level gathering point was re-established around it.
After these last three battles, Zhong Yu perfectly controlled the entire surrounding fan-shaped area. Successfully achieve their strategic goals and connect the entire territory.
The area where your rear can be cultivated has been greatly enhanced, and the strategic depth has reached a hundred miles. It can greatly improve the tactics and strategies you can use. Even if there are unpredictable enemies coming to attack, there are only a few places that can be dispatched. There are more.
The entire territory would not be like a meandering river like before. If someone attacks you from the middle, it will be like being hit by a seven-inch snake, very fatal. If you are not careful, you will die without a burial place, and you can eat and digest it in one bite.
The fifty barbarian servants left behind mixed with the strong soldiers to defend on the spot. Zhong Yu returned to his Luoyang city alone with 100 imperial guards.
After being out for nearly twenty days, he also missed Luoyang City a little, even though he didn't have any of his relatives or family members there. But he is his foundation and his only support. Unknowingly, he has established a strong sense of attachment there.
Amid the expectations of the residents, Zhong Yu went back home without any explanation. Only one guard was left behind to briefly introduce the situation of the expedition to the citizens, as well as the current location of their relatives and what they were doing. To calm the hearts of everyone in the territory.
Last time, I had no choice but to rely on these people because my strength was still insufficient. So I had to put down my posture and explain to them the circumstances of my expedition in a somewhat humble manner. But now, as he has grown up and is about to build his own country, how can he still have the mood to echo the feelings of these lowly people
Ignoring the noisy and irritable discussions of these subjects, Zhong Yu led his guards straight back to the long-lost mansion.
Returning to his study, his mood slowly calmed down. He had kept this habit since he came to this world. He felt that in this study, the room full of books could enrich his knowledge. Cultivation of body and mind is a rare way to improve one's own foundation.
Over time, he had troubles and came here habitually, which made him have an indescribable attachment to this place. Therefore, he regarded this place as his own forbidden area, and no one could enter without permission, even if he was doing something. Hygiene is also done by oneself.
At this time, in the study room, the meditative sandalwood was lit, and the aroma spread everywhere. The surroundings were surrounded by clouds and mist, making it a perfect place for self-cultivation.
Zhong Yu was writing and drawing at this time, but he was sorting out all the gains from this expedition and the development of the territory during this period. Writing out all the problems and constantly thinking and eliminating them by yourself can make your thoughts clearer and reduce mistakes.
This is because after he became a lord, he clearly understood his shortcomings and what a resourceful person he was. He could only make up for his shortcomings with diligence and enough caution to make up for his lack of strategy.
During this expedition, a total of about 7,000 people were plundered, and three township-level administrative districts and eight pavilion-level settlements were established. He successfully expanded his sphere of influence to cover a hundred miles in radius and owned the territory of a county. From then on, his power structure became unique.
This kind of promotion is not a small fight like before. The kind of battle in the past, no matter how fierce, in ancient dynasties, it was a fight between several villages that were not on the stage. No matter how violent the riot is, more people will die. The superiors would not care. At most, they would scold the county magistrate for not being able to fulfill his duties and slacking off in his duties.
But things are different now. The territory of a county is hundreds of miles in radius, with a population of tens of thousands, and one city. It is no exaggeration to say that someone who occupies a county, develops it painstakingly for several years, accumulates thousands of soldiers, and defends several dangerous places.
It is completely possible to close the door, build a country by yourself, hide in a small place and dominate. If you encounter someone who is more ambitious and strives to make progress, you can use the territory of your own county as a basis to plot the surrounding areas. If you take advantage of the overthrow of the dynasty to conquer several surrounding counties, and after a little rest and recuperation, then one can own the land. Thousands of miles away, the foundation of being lonely and few can be formed.
If time goes by and God's will favors him, he may be able to take advantage of the situation and compete with the heroes of the world for the position of the true dragon. Ask him what it feels like to be a nine-five-year-old. Even if the times are bad, you can still defend according to the danger, seal the territory, and become the king of a separate area.
Therefore, the kings of all dynasties all regard the county magistrate as the foundation of the country and the cornerstone of the world, and they attach great importance to it. In addition, a county is regarded as the most basic administrative unit. Every appointed county magistrate must be personally reviewed and carefully reviewed without any carelessness.
It is believed that a good selection of a county magistrate can stabilize the country for a long time and increase the national destiny. In fact, the power of a county magistrate is too important. If the election is not done well, and the county magistrate becomes corrupt, perverts the law, and imposes excessive taxes, it is very likely to arouse public anger and lead to rebellion. If it cannot be put down in time, it is very likely to spread to the prefectures and counties, and it will be out of control from now on.
As the heads of local administration at the county level, the functions of magistrates and county magistrates involve a county's military affairs, civil affairs, administration, finance, justice and other aspects. They play an important role in coordinating the relationship between the central and local governments and stabilizing local governance order. effect.
Therefore, by choosing a county magistrate well, the country's rule can be greatly strengthened. There will be no situation where the superiors don’t know the feelings of the subordinates, and the subordinates don’t know the intentions of the superiors. With communication, there will be a lot less conflicts. Naturally, people’s livelihood will be stable, people will be happy in their work, no one will want to run out to rebel, and the emperor can feel comfortable. Keep going, hello, me, hello everyone, why make it so unpleasant.
Therefore, occupying a county was already considered the territory of a small country during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods in China. His reputation is well-known in all the princely states.
Therefore, despite the replacement of dynasties one after another in later generations, they continued to disappear and rise. However, the county has always been regarded as the fiefdom of the princes, and the owner of the fiefdom is called the king. The king, the emperor, the princes.
The territory of a county has always been the lowest level country in ancient China. Even after the great unification. The three levels of kingdom, commandery, and county were most commonly used especially in the Han and Jin Dynasties. It lasted until the Sui and Tang Dynasties before it disappeared, but it was just a different form.
So, in the eyes of anyone in ancient times. If you own the territory of a county, you can be called a king, and you can be called a loner and a widower, which is nothing more than that.
