Chapter Eighty-Nine: Focus on Guishan
"Your Majesty, Zaifu has gone to the imperial study to wait!"
Li Zheng, who was in the sky, heard the words and got up to see that it was Zhou Tai.
"Youping, you go and sue SΓΉ Gongda, and I will go to see him immediately."
After that, he turned to a group of little children and said, "Daddy is going to deal with business, do you want to play with the war horse by yourself, or go down with Daddy?" β
The third-order war horse is very spiritual, not inferior to a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. So Li Zheng is not worried about what accidents will happen to the children on the back of the war horse.
Of course, if this matter is seen by the concubines, it will be a few more times.
"Daddy will go by himself, and we will play by ourselves. Don't worry, I'll be watching my younger siblings. The eldest son, Li Ji, looked at Li Zheng, his eyes rolling.
"Stinky boy, don't mess around, be careful that Daddy beats you!"
Li Zheng glared at him and said, "Just play in the grassland, you can't go out, you know?" β
"Got it!"
The eight sons and daughters replied in unison.
Li Zheng nodded, and jumped from a height of dozens of feet!
"Daddy is amazing!"
A bunch of little kids widened their eyes and clapped their hands in cheer.
Li Zheng laughed, the whole person fell to the ground lightly like catkins, beckoned to the children, and turned back to the palace.
Xun Yu came to see him this time, in response to Li Zheng's previous call.
Li Zheng has two things that need to be handed over to the Government Council.
After entering the palace, I met Cai Yan Yingying and asked, "Lang Jun, where are the children?" β
"I still have something to discuss with Gongda when playing outside, you go out and watch, don't let them play too much."
Cai Yan bowed slightly.
When he arrived at the imperial study, Li Zheng pushed the door and entered.
"ιxiΓ ."
Xun You got up and bowed slightly.
Li Zheng waved his hand and asked him to sit down.
Said: "I called you today, there are two things that need to be handled by the Government Council. β
Saying that, Li Zheng himself knelt down and said, "The first thing is the popularization of the communication system. β
When Xun Yu heard this, he cheered up and listened attentively.
"Gongda should know that the identity card of the people of the empire has a dimensional space. This secret has not been revealed, just waiting for this moment. β
The three-foot dimensional space in the identity card has a very magical characteristic. Because it is not a complete space, there is no time factor in it.
In other words, if anything is put in, except for the dimensional space in it, no matter when it is taken out, it will be the same as when it was put in, and there will be no change.
Even living creatures. If it is like a bird, after entering the dimensional space, it will immediately become dormant and life activities will be minimized.
And after taking it out, the bird will quickly resume its life activities.
It can be said that the dimensional space has a life-saving characteristic.
Of course, the dimensional space in the identity card is too small to fit one person.
Li Zheng plans to wait until the blue bird has multiplied to a considerable extent and can be popularized, and then promote it, bind it to the people's identity cards, and complete the establishment of a civilian communication system.
And when it is not needed in ordinary times, the blue bird can be put into the dimensional space to sleep.
When you need it, you can take it out.
Of course, it depends on how the people choose. If you like to take the blue bird with you at all times, that's fine.
In fact, there is a deeper reason for this.
The Blue Bird is also a war horse, although it is not a main battle horse.
Li Zheng wanted to give it a try to see if Lan Xiangniao had the ability to stimulate battle qi.
After all, although the blue bird is small, in fact, its comprehensive quality is not low. The third-order Blue Xiang Bird, although far inferior to the rest of the war horses in terms of strength, also has the strength of a thousand catties. Even the lowest first-order Blue Xiang Bird has a strength of two hundred catties.
Of course, if you want to promote the blue bird to the folk, it naturally cannot be a third-order blue bird. All of them are first-order blue birds.
This time, to promote the first-order Blue Bird, it is not only necessary to build a civilian communication system, but also to test whether the Blue Bird can stimulate the fighting spirit.
If so, then the common people will also have the opportunity to stimulate their fighting spirit.
In this way, it is also a means to strengthen the foundation of the empire.
Of course, if the common people can use the Blue Bird to stimulate their fighting spirit, correspondingly, some checks and balances are needed. so as not to make mistakes.
"The communication system facilitates the communication of the people, and His Majesty raised his hands in favor of this. However, if it can stimulate the spirit of war, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble, and His Majesty has reservations. β
Xun You thought for a while and said.
Today's warlike powerhouses are all in the army and are controlled by the Empire. And once the people can also stimulate the spirit of war, it will be uncontrollable, and it may cause considerable trouble.
This point, as the imperial zaifu, Xun You has to be cautious.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Zheng waved his hand: "Don't think so evil about the people. The empire has never done anything wrong, and the people have no reason to oppose it. You're only worried about law and order. This can be guided. β
Li Zheng continued: "There is no doubt that the people of the empire have blood. This is the greatest characteristic left to our nation by the former Han Dynasty, and it is also the most characteristic that cannot be abandoned. Bloody and strong is the guarantee of national dignity and a driving force for development. Of course, its disadvantage lies in the fact that once there is a contradiction, it is willing to cause unnecessary casualties. Especially after having a fighting spirit, if you do it a little, you will be crippled if you don't die. β
"That's why you need guidance."
"My thoughts, you listen to them first -- if there is a contradiction among the people, first, the government and the village elders should make adjustments, which is the first means. Second, in terms of punishment, it is more aggravated, thinking that it is a constraint. Third, I intend to set up dueling arenas in various places as a guide. β
"For example, if there is an irreconcilable contradiction between two people. Rather than letting it fight in the dark and harm his family and neighbors, it is better to put it in the open. There are huge contradictions, which can be resolved. Go to the dueling arena, or divide the victory or defeat, or life and death, it is up to them to decide! β
When Xun You heard this, he couldn't help but think about it for a long time, and then nodded slowly: "Your Majesty, you can give it a try." β
Li Zheng bowed: "As for the specific regulations, after you go down, let the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Criminal Law draw them up and show them to me." β
Xun You nodded.
"The second thing," Li Zheng paused, and then said, "It's about the Kushan Empire!" β
Hearing this, Xun Yu couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes burning.
Li Zheng laughed: "The Guishan Empire is also good, it has persisted for four or five years, and only now has it come to an end." According to Lan Xiangniao's investigation, the Kushan Empire is now shrinking into its capital Fulousha, running out of troops and food, and has no way out, and it is time to take the fruits of its civilization. β
In this era, the Kushan Empire was one of the world's four great powers, along with the former Han Dynasty, Anxi, and Ancient Rome. At its peak, there were 5 million people and 200,000 cavalry, which is not bad.
The Kushan Empire was established by the Yueshi people, and there were five departments, and the one in power was the Kushan Ministry. Therefore, in the former Han Dynasty, Guishan was also called the Great Moon Clan. At the beginning, Guishan also had a war with the former Han Dynasty, and he raised tens of thousands of troops to attack the Western Regions, but was defeated by Banchao and Ban Dingyuan, and then sued for peace.
The Kushan territory is vast, and in the southeast, the Kushan occupy the Indus Valley, and the northern part of the subcontinent is under their control. To the west, the power reached as far as the Black Sea, bordering the Sabbatarian Empire, with which it was at war for many years. To the north, he controlled several small states in the western part of the Western Regions, such as Kangju and Dawan.
A few years ago, the Beast Plague broke out, landing from the subcontinent, first destroying the Asan tribes in the southern part of the subcontinent, and then spreading northward into the territory of the Kushan Empire.
The Kushan Empire waved its troops to resist, could not be defeated, and was defeated in successive battles, and in one year, the northern part of the subcontinent was completely lost.
At this time, the Parthians of the Sabbatical Empire seemed to have seen the opportunity and brazenly raised troops to attack the Kushan Empire.
The beast inadvertently became an accomplice to the Parthians.
The Kushan Empire was well aware of the harm of the ferocious beasts, and sent envoys to the Parthians to explain the key points and wanted to demand peace. But the Parthians did not believe it, and expelled the Kushan envoys and increased their forces.
As a result, under the attack of the Parthians and the fierce beasts, Kushan quickly declined!
Now, the huge Kushan Empire only has one capital left!
And the Parthians then tasted the bitterness!
They occupied the northwestern part of the Kushan Empire, and they ran into a fierce and brutal beast head-on, killing and wounding them in an instant. Only then did I remember what the envoy of the Kushan Empire had said, but it was too late to regret it!
The Parthians, though suffering heavy losses, did not yet have the pain of the skin, after all, the beast had not yet spread into the territory of the Sabbatarian Empire.
In comparison, the Kushan Empire has really come to an end!
They also wanted to send envoys to the east to ask for help from the Han Empire in their memory, but the Western Regions were all occupied by fierce beasts, and they sent several waves of envoys, all of which were lost in the middle of the road.
Therefore, unless they surrendered to the Parthians and rested, they could only wait to die in FrouΕa.
However, the current Kushan Emperor Vesudeva I still did not make up his mind to surrender to the Empire of Sabbath. After all, it's a feud, and now it's so weak, surrendering to the past, I don't know what the end will be!
So I have been guarding Fulousha for nearly a year.
In this year, the rapid consumption of various materials and troops really put Fulousha in a desperate situation. Vesudeva I, who could barely withstand the pressure of the major nobles, was ready to surrender to the Empire of Rest.
"So I'm going to send a group of Golden Winged Tiger Riders to Fulousha to exchange supplies for the fruits of its civilization." Li Zheng said: "I have some expectations for the civilization achievements of the Dayue clan. β
Xun Yu bowed slightly.
Li Zheng continued: "Lu Bu has been guarding the World City for the past two years, and he has nothing to do, and he has already written twice and wants to be transferred to the battlefield. Let him do it this time. You just have to get ready. β
"Obey."
World Bay, the gateway of the plane.
Now, in this bay, a huge and fortified city has been erected.
This is World City.
Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Western Army bulldozed the Yunzhou Plateau, and the transportation department opened up the main road to the World Bay, and Li Zheng was ready to build a giant city here.
At the beginning of this year, Li Zheng bought a terrain conversion drawing with a radius of 100 miles in a mysterious shop, and used it in this place.
As a result, a giant city named World City sprung up.
The city is close to the bay, with an area of 100 miles, and the level of the city is 30 zhang above the sea level. Under the stairs outside the south gate, there is the World Square. This square is extraordinarily huge, covering an area of thousands of acres, and the gate of the plane stands in the center of the square.
Although the World City has been established, because the Plane Gate has not yet been opened, and the Empire has not yet explored and developed the Beast World opposite the Plane Gate, it is deserted here.
Apart from the 20,000 troops and 1,000 Golden-winged Tiger Riders, there are no other inhabitants or merchants. (To be continued.) )
