Chapter 10 One Ring After the Other
The Tianchang Empire is the only unified country in history that covers the entire continent, and its country name is "Chang!" But just like its rapid rise, its subversion is like an avalanche, causing its great empire to collapse rapidly.
Emperor Wu Long is proud of the sky, conquering the Quartet, unifying Huayu! The Tianchang Empire, the Tianchang Empire in its heyday, was so powerful that it could make the entire continent tremble by stomping its feet at will, and sneezing at will could make a race tremble.
However, it was only a hundred years before the rise and fall of such a powerful empire, which is really incredible to many scholars.
After many scholars discussed it in later generations, there are four main reasons for this.
First, the sub-sealing system!
Long Aotian's form of rule was the class feudal system, he divided the army and the plundered land to his sons, heroes, princes, vassal kings, and sat in the middle of the formation, surrounded the imperial capital on all sides.
The whole continent was overtaken by the Prince, The biggest drawback of this feudal system is that the people who are feuded do their own thing, do not listen to orders, disregard the overall situation, as if they have formed a set of small empires, such a long-term environment is easy to fuel the ambitions of the princes, so that there will be a variety of mutual annexation of the big drama, one vassal state annexed another vassal state, forming another large vassal state, and the central empire can not wantonly allocate troops to quell the rebellion, especially when Emperor Wu is old, the whole situation has formed a pot of porridge, all kinds of materials。
Strong fortresses often start to crack from the inside, and sure enough, when the porridge is almost over, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to restore the original clear water and rice grains.
The entire continent was completely disturbed by the princes and vassal kings of all walks of life, tearing each other apart and biting each other, and the fight was in full swing, and all the energy of the empire was used for internal friction, and the national strength was rapidly exhausted.
Second, the racial system!
Emperor Wu unified the continent and promulgated the racial system, dividing the four major races of the mainland into five classes, and no race can be crossed.
1. First class, summoner. Ridiculously speaking, summoners are mostly human, but there are other races as well, so anyone who has a talent for summoning, or can manipulate the elements of black magic, is classified as the highest.
2. The second class, humans. Although it occupies the second class, the standard of living of human beings is still not optimistic, and it is suppressed by summoners.
3. The third class, the elves. Most of the female elves were forcibly possessed and became the forbidden territory of the imperial nobles, and in the upper echelons of the entire empire, if there were not a few elf female slaves, they were really embarrassed to go out and say hello to others.
The other is the implementation of the "First Night Authority" among the elves that outrages all races!
4. Fourth class, dwarves. Ordinary dwarves are used as slaves by summoners in search of various mines.
5. Fifth class, Bloodline. The Bloodline is considered to be an ominous sign, and with the exception of the Bloodline of Illustrious Status, the Bloodline in general has suffered an unwarranted disaster, and the Bloodline has almost been wiped out in this turmoil.
Under the influence of this system, the differences between racial hierarchies permeated all aspects, military, political, social, etc., and all of them were revealed.
For example, the chief officers of the core of the empire are all summoners, and the military power is also in the hands of summoners.
All other races are obliged to bow when they see a summoner, otherwise they will be regarded as overstepping the ranks, and will be punished at least or exiled to the other world.
The most typical is the law of the Empire, if the summoner fights against others, only the summoner is allowed to do it, and the others are not allowed to do it, otherwise they will be severely punished.
For the sake of their own interests and privileges, the summoners of the Tianchang Empire forcibly divided the racial system, which made the people angry and resentful, and the oppressed people of all races never stopped resisting and fighting.
Third, the taxation is heavy and the conscription is numerous.
During the period of the Tianchang Empire, in order to maintain the daily formation and research of a large number of summoners' armies, as well as the extravagant life of Emperor Wu Long Aotian, he built a large number of construction projects, etc., but there was a saying that "half of Thailand is endowed!" Half of Thailand, two-thirds of the two! Just imagine, a common man lives a miserable life, but at the end of the year, two-thirds of his harvest is forcibly requisitioned, how can this be done? Moreover, there are many kinds of forced labor.
The key problem is not like this, if it is calculated according to the harvest, but the Tianchang Empire at that time did not care about the geometry of your harvest, only calculated according to the field, even if there was a flood and drought, how much you should pay or how much you will get. It has also caused a vast scene of thousands of miles of red land, angry and resentful. The voices of uprisings have risen one after another, and the spark can still form a great fire when it can ignite the prairie fire!
In the later period of the Tianchang Empire, peasant uprisings broke out one after another in various places, and the momentum was like a bamboo! There were more than 200 riots of all sizes in just one district, and this situation should have been difficult for the vassal kings and princes of the Gongwei Empire to protect themselves, let alone King Qin?
Fourth, there will never be a war, and the national strength will be exhausted.
During the entire Tianchang Empire's short period of less than 100 years, there were only 12 years of war and chaos, and such a disparity in proportion was unheard of in the history of the Central Asian continent!
The entire Tianchang Empire can be said to have been born for war and died for war. After the Tianchang Empire won the conquest of various ethnic countries and forces in the Central Asian continent, it did not have the slightest intention of stopping the war and cultivating it, and actually organized four groups of armies in the second year of the unified continent to expedition to the Roaring Continent, the Garo Continent, the Southern Frozen Continent, and the Northern Frozen Continent.
What is even more shocking is that the top summoner army of the Tianchang Empire spent the power of infinite magic crystals to create a "Heavenly Cannon" to blast open the exit to the other world and drive the army to the other world.
With one own strength, expeditions to the other four continents, and direct to the other world, it must be the most glorious period of mankind, but it is also the dark period of human beings and other races, in order to maintain the consumption of the army, tens of thousands of dwarves were enslaved to mine magic crystals day and night, and countless human beings were flooded in the army and became wave after wave of cannon fodder.
Elves and blood clans are not immune, according to statistics, during the "expeditionary period" of the Tianchang Empire alone, the death toll of various races has reached tens of millions, the entire race has decreased sharply, and even two-fifths of the population has disappeared.
The "life" of the Tianchang Empire exists for the sake of war, and it can be said to be an out-and-out "war empire", but the war is fought for finance, food, and population.
But on the other hand, the Tianchang Empire didn't estimate these at all, as if the superior didn't think about it at all, did the people get tired, did they take a break?
In the end, the entire empire was hollowed out and exhausted, until in the later period, when various princes rebelled, the vassal kings stood on their own, and the people revolted! The entire empire did not even have the strength to resist, and the imperial edifice of Nuoda collapsed.
"Tianchang Empire Research Notes"
Feelings, this little lord still thinks about "face" and "lining"! It turns out that he is also a sassy character who has made a biao and wants to set up an archway.
At this time, Adjutant Zhang's face had completely lowered his vigilance against Li Xiangfeng, and he would not doubt that Li Xiangfeng would really check what the problem was, since he had taken so many gold coins from himself, it seemed that he had already gotten on the same boat as the two adults of Beiyang City, the Taishou and the Garrison, if the ship was hijacked, then it would be natural for the lord to take bribes
It is clear that the ship is sinking.
No one wants the East Window incident to happen, but this little lord's style of doing things is much smarter than the previous governors, and now Adjutant Zhang has another layer of understanding of Li Xiangfeng.
This guy didn't fall into the eyes of money, and there is still some way back.
Take out some gold coins for a little disaster relief, make a name, naturally the emperor can also make a difference, and the victims will also be grateful to Dade, and the most important thing is that he can justifiably pocket all the big heads.
Good means, calculated enough, and also willing to spend money, if you want to dismiss the tens of thousands of victims outside the city, to say the least, you have to spend more than 100,000 gold coins to send it, it can be seen that this little lord still knows how to be willing.
Willing, willing!
Adjutant Zhang once again remembered in his heart, and when it came to the critical moment, he had to give up and leave a big gain.
Adjutant Zhang glanced at the other two middle-aged merchants who looked more decent, these two were the top two grain merchants in Beiyang City, and three-fifths of the grain supply in the entire Beiyang City was in the hands of these two.
And taking advantage of the atmosphere of war and panic, it was these two people who hoarded a large amount of grain to wantonly raise the price of grain, and made a lot of money for this!
Seeing the situation, the two got up and bent down to Li Xiangfeng and said, "Sir, the villain is willing to provide food for the lord at a regular price!"
The constant price mentioned by these two people is naturally the normal price.
Speaking of this, Li Xiangfeng smiled, quickly got up and comforted the two grain merchants with both hands, and then said: "The two righteous men are really the luck of my Great Qin, the luck of Beiyang, and the luck of the victims! I would like to thank the two righteous men on behalf of the imperial court, and I will definitely report to the Holy Lord to ask for a reward for the two!"
Then Li Xiangfeng glanced around with a full face of spring and said: "It is really my great Qin's luck to have the help of everyone here, I will definitely report this matter to the Holy Lord, and I will definitely ask for a few shades for everyone here!"
Speaking of this, shock, surprise, and joy instantly filled everyone's minds, especially the two businessmen who provided food, their whole heads were already shaking, and after Li Xiangfeng finished speaking, they all expressed their willingness to discount four to become Li Xiangfeng's food.
Shade!
That is to say, the children of his family can be directly sealed as officials, and from then on enter the official sea, which is a great temptation for businessmen, you must know that whether it is the Warring States Period, the Tianchang Empire or the current Wanqin Empire, the leading idea of "Shinong Industry and Commerce" has always been a mountain on the back of merchants.
Countless businessmen's children were turned away by officialdom because their families were businessmen!
Although Li Xiangfeng is arrogant today, the words he says after drinking wine will inevitably have a huge amount of water, but who can guarantee that things will not be done?
The gentry present all knew that in addition to this eloquent Lord Li, there was another lord sitting here, that is, the son of the Imperial Grand Duke Yu, Grand Duke Yu, and Yu Yuanzheng, Yu Yan!
One is the emperor's henchman, (Li Xiangfeng unintentionally revealed this to these people), and the other is the son of Duke Yu, (this is also what Li Xiangfeng accidentally revealed). It's really possible for such a golden combination to do just that.
At this time, many merchants had secretly decided that when the banquet was over, they would definitely visit these two lords who were close to the emperor.
Seeing the expressions of these people, Adjutant Zhang helplessly suppressed a smile of admiration on his face, this little lord has played a good trick! I am afraid that I will have to make another windfall tonight, and it is only a lot more than now.
