Chapter 578: Polarization
Wang Lanling is too peaceful, but other places are not peaceful.
The matter of Sarawa's independence soon raised some questions.
The map around Makishu looks like this.
Dragon Dragon Dragon Dragon

These are nine states, and all of them are under the Empire.
The empire has a total of forty-three states, and these nine states can now be regarded as accounting for eighty-five percent of the empire's power.
Longzhou itself is the strongest one, and now everyone in the world knows that Longzhou's military strength can only be used to protect itself, and the military strength of the other states cannot be easily mobilized.
The appearance of Wang Lanling broke the veil of majesty of the empire and let people see the weak and bluffing side of this empire.
The defeat of two consecutive wars, as well as the self-reliance of the king of Shazhou, as well as the problems accumulated by each place itself, made more people unwilling to continue to pay taxes and tribute to the empire!
The old emperor looked at the foundation laid down by his ancestors and was heartbroken!
It was already July, and the old emperor also saw Wang Lanling's son, who was just an ordinary child, shouting all day long to go home.
Through the report of the secret agent, Wang Lanling did not continue to play out the idea, whether it is the layout of the border or the internal propaganda, it is all farming education and development rectification.
Especially in recent times, Lanling County has seized corruption and public security problems.
After thinking carefully for more than a month, the old emperor made up his mind!
Beat!
But it's not to beat Wang Lanling.
The odds of winning against Wang Lanling are too low, for the long-term rule of the empire, in order to suppress some small thoughts, the empire must fight a winning battle!
There is also the need to train and screen out a group of military generals, and now he has understood that his subordinates are indeed lacking talents who can fight.
There is also the need to increase one's prestige and the majesty of the clan!
For such a long time, the old emperor has already chosen the person to kill!
This time we can't fight in the direction of Muzhou, several states near Muzhou are now recuperating, and the balance cannot be broken.
Above Longzhou are Yanzhou, Guizhou, and Langzhou.
Further up are a dozen sparsely populated states and overseas islands.
The old emperor set his goal here, and chose to try one first, and if the situation was good, he would fight a few more.
The first is the Blue State, with a population of 600,000.
The machine guns have been built, and the cars that transport the troops, as well as the use of Wang Lanling's trenches and machine guns, and the combat methods, have also made the military generals below and the elites of the Imperial Academy familiar with them for a long time.
This state is a fief for his younger brother, but the old emperor is now red-eyed, and he urgently needs a victory to show his majesty, regardless of whether his brother is a brother or not!
In the court where hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, the old emperor said something.
"Jiang Miaozhi, the king of Lanzhou, did not pay tribute in time, and he has been in arrears of millions of taxes for many years, and now it has been found that this person is plotting to rebel!"
"Such things cannot be tolerated, immediately send people to crusade against this place to demonstrate solemnity!"
At first, everyone thought that the king of Lanzhou was talking about Wang Lanling, and they were all puzzled, why did they go to fight Wang Lanling again?
But when I heard that it was surnamed Jiang, I reacted that it was Lanzhou.
However, several places in Lanzhou really lack a sense of existence, and if everyone is not an imperial elite, they must not know where this place is.
Among the more than one billion people in the empire, less than 10,000 can name the full names of the forty-three states of the empire!
An old minister quickly said: "The Holy Lord is angry, Lanzhou is sparsely populated, and the population of the whole state is only a few hundred thousand, how dare you rebel?" ”
This person thinks that the main problem is the tax delay, which is normal, and everyone is used to procrastination.
Anyway, as long as a few states near Longzhou pay taxes, the main force is here.
The old emperor was angry when he heard this, how many people were there in Wang Lanling at the beginning?
"More than 100,000 people can rebel, and they can beat a group of waste crying fathers and mothers, why not hundreds of thousands of people?!"
Faced with the old emperor's questioning, everyone was speechless.
The current situation in the empire is actually clear to everyone.
The princes everywhere wanted to be the emperor in the name of the right, but they were very unconvinced by Longzhou, and they didn't give money.
Now it's nothing to fight over, and everyone can also take some credit.
Anyway, it's not Wang Lanling's side, and the odds are still very good.
After thinking about it like this, everyone began to say in unison: "Holy Wisdom! ”
Soon, many people in the court began to rush to fight on standby and serve the country.
Even the old generals took the initiative to ask for help.
For such a major matter as a war, Wang Lanling needs to hold a small meeting in advance, and at the same time find some people to come over and arrange it.
But the old emperor is different, he can be said to be the most powerful emperor in all dynasties!
The old emperor still has the energy and physical strength to scold people, so his rights are still in hand.
When he can't move in bed, or when he only has one breath, then he has to rely on someone else's breath to live.
Whether it is the person who takes care of him, or the nanny guard, or the minister, it is no longer his tool, but his only dependence.
Because this old man is in good health, the empire can't collapse.
Led by the old emperor, the empire's technology and military began to exert its power, and it showed its strength towards the southern position.
On the other hand, Wang Lanling also expanded his trade towards his southern Yuzhou and Haizhou locations, and he thought that he was in the North Pole, so he went south everywhere.
To put it simply, it should be the empire to the left and Lanling County to the right.
The world, polarized.
The two sides have different ways of expanding.
Constrained by the constraints of the times, the empire is taking advantage of the opportunity of military training and centralization to unconsciously spread new ideas and technologies to various places.
Wang Lanling was in the way of trade, allied several states, from which to trade and help with materials.
It's not colonization, it's not plunder, Wang Lanling wants the Belt and Road, and one person brings up the following states to establish an Arctic military and commercial mutual assistance alliance.
Abbreviation, Northern League.
Weapons, industrial technology, schools, commodity trade, and help the local people develop the primary industry of grain, fruits, cotton, and sugarcane.
In addition to Haizhou, several other places to be developed are under Muzhou, so Wang Lanling wants to build railways and highways.
The wisdom of human beings should be demonstrated by more people, Wang Lanling spreads various technologies, and hopes that more people will go to Lanling County to study the most cutting-edge science and technology!
He is not planning a city or a pool, but an entire era.
This kind of action is a knowledge point that can be written into a textbook.
It doesn't take many years for people to write Wang Lanling's name without hesitation when they see the core figures of the second industrial revolution on the test papers!
