The Three Kingdoms: If you don't have money to buy an official position, you can only be the em

Chapter 67: "Sacrifice" for the world?
"what?"

This sentence shook the entire Goguryeo court. Yu Shen also opened his mouth and said in panic: "Why did that devil join the Yan bandits?"

When she heard the news, the first thing she thought of was not the crisis in the imperial city.

Instead, Gongsun Zan joined the "Yan Bandits".

What are the Yanfei?

It can be said that they were the Yellow Turbans among the Yellow Turbans. Three years ago, it was they who exhausted the power of the imperial court in one fell swoop, which made the old Goguryeo king and the prince think it was profitable, so they brought the little prince, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, to attack the Central Plains.

Then there is no more then.

Gongsun Zan, who was defeated by the Yan bandits and treated like a minion, led his 3,000 white horse volunteers to annihilate the Goguryeo army. Three generations of the old Wang family also died in that battle.

Eventually a woman was forced to become the new king.

Led the ministers to resist Gongsun Zan.

She deeply realized that Goguryeo could not compare with the 400-year-old Han Dynasty. Even though the country was in chaos and on the verge of destruction, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse.

It should be said that a skinny tiger is bigger than a chicken!
In front of the Han Dynasty, Goguryeo was just a "little chicken" in a dangerous terrain!
But now, Gongsun Zan, who was already so terrifying, has actually defected to the even more terrifying Yan bandits, and brought the legendary terrifying "Taiping Dao". He is going to bring "Taiping" to the entire Goguryeo!
"It's over, it's over!"

"I heard that after the Yan bandits capture the nobles, they will first rob them of their property, and then demote everyone to slavery and send them to forced labor in the mountains." The minister said in panic.

For a moment, it was impossible to organize an effective resistance, which made Gongsun Zan, who easily broke through the goal, feel that things were going too smoothly.

但这并不奇怪。

Due to the butterfly effect, the old king of Goguryeo and the later powerful "King Zhongchuan" Ranfu both died, leaving only a woman who was forced to do something. How strong could her organizational ability be?
It can be defended with the help of natural barriers, but without them, the so-called royal city is no more difficult to attack than a county in the Central Plains!
"All nobles are under control and await the judgment of the Grand Heavenly Master!"

Unexpectedly, after Gongsun Zan came in, he did not start killing people immediately, but simply arrested people - this was also the rule set by Jiang Cheng, that the Shennong Army must not disturb the people no matter where they went.

How to deal with the Goguryeo nobles had to be judged by specialized people, and the decision on whether to kill or send them to labor camp would be based on their daily behavior.

Or just let it go.

Not all nobles deserve to die.

As for foreigners, Jiang Cheng's strategy was also to assimilate them rather than kill them: as long as their writing system was abolished, they were made to wear Chinese clothes, speak Chinese, and have the same writing system and the same wheel system, Goguryeo would later become the "Lizhou" of the Central Plains.

Nor will it provoke too much resistance.

"Who are you?" The Japanese envoy was also captured and said in panic: "I am not from Goguryeo, I am from Qin, and my ancestors followed Xu Fu..."

At the beginning, he tried to use his special identity to make Gongsun Zan release him.

But after conquering Goguryeo, Gongsun Zan boarded a ship and headed straight for Japan, which made him panic.

"No, you guys?"

In the end, the envoy did not go to the Goguryeo prison, but watched with his own eyes as Japan was captured by the ruthless Gongsun Zan, and the contemporary emperor was killed with a single sword.

The royal family was slaughtered.

Xu Fu's descendant, the tenth-generation daughter Xu Zhao, was elected as the "provincial governor".

A figurehead who replaced the emperor.

At the beginning, the envoys who were still loyal to the Xu family were ecstatic, thinking that people from their "hometown" were supporting them, but they soon discovered that... the governor was not an official position of the Taiping Dao at all, but of the Han Dynasty.

The purpose of establishing the governor was to turn Dongying into Yingzhou and bring it under the rule of the Han Dynasty.

But the ones who really hold power are a group of "heavenly officials" who came with the army. They were all born as Taiping Taoists. Due to their talents, they were not suitable for studying science, so after becoming "heavenly masters", they chose to go into politics.

They start from the grassroots and work their way up to the very top, covering every aspect.

They had a firm grip on Yingzhou. They gave the lower classes of Goguryeo and Dongying a little buffer, so that they could only see the queen and princess becoming governors, and in places they could not see... the two governors had already been sent to Youzhou, thousands of miles away.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Cheng was completely confused by the sudden appearance of the two girls.

But Gongsun Zan showed a solemn look on his face, and said: "Since ancient times, politics cannot avoid sacrifice. After conquering other countries, in order to better govern, they must consolidate their kinship through marriage, even Qin Shihuang was no exception. So, please make a sacrifice, Grand Heavenly Master, and accept them!"

After saying that, he paused.

He added: "I asked the old woman to check them, and they are all virgins. The great master will not make too much sacrifice!"

Jiang Cheng: “???”

Is this a question of whether the sacrifice is big or not?
this……

He looked at Zhao Yun, trying to find out what the always serious Zhao Zilong would think, but Zhao Yun said directly: "For the sake of the world, please compromise and make a sacrifice!"

Jiang Cheng: “…”

I won't compromise or sacrifice anything!
Am I asking about something in the world?
But after a little thought, he understood that it was not Gongsun Zan who deliberately sent the beauty to please him, but that politics has been like this since ancient times.

How did Cao Cao get the “Wei Wu legacy”?
This is because, every time he defeated an opponent, he would "compromise" once, marrying the defeated opponent and gaining the support of his remaining forces.

However, he was suspicious by nature and did not trust anyone.

So don’t marry directly with your rivals.

Instead, he took the "wife route" and took the other party's wife as his wife and gained the support of her family: just like Yuan Shao's wife, she was naturally well-matched and a member of a powerful family at the time to be able to marry him.

If Cao Cao destroys Yuan Shao and takes her in, the noble family behind her will make a bet.

Anyway, if you invest in a good one, you will definitely make money.

It’s good for you, for me, for everyone, a win-win situation.

And now, the situation is similar: Yu Ren became the queen inexplicably, and was able to resist Gongsun Zan with the help of natural barriers and her good luck to catch up with the princes' campaign against Dong Zhuo, and Gongsun Zan withdrew his troops. But she is the king after all, and has great prestige among the lower-class people of Goguryeo.

The same goes for Xu Zhao.

Xu Fu's family had long since fallen into decline, but she was able to secure the position of "Princess Amaterasu". How could her prestige among the people be bad?

Jiang Chengdu was somewhat suspicious as to whether the "Amaterasu Omikami" in later mythology was based on her.

Besides, after she became the "provincial governor", the Japanese people who admired her strength also recognized her.

Starting from her, we can tame the "little life" that has just some signs of happening back to the original "boys and girls", and then we can solve the "Japan" problem from the root!

Jiang Cheng's plan of "sending the men and keeping the women" specifically for Japan also requires someone to set an example.

It means that Japanese men will be poor for no more than three generations, and the country will naturally become extinct.

Then there will only be Yingzhou and no Dongying in the future - Jiang Cheng's plan is to arouse the yearning of Dongying women for the Central Plains and eliminate Dongying men!

And Gongsun Zan was just helping him.

"In fact, the Great Heavenly Master only needs to take in two maids and give them the title of concubines. It is impossible to let them go back anyway..."

Gongsun Zan wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jiang Cheng waving his hand.

"Stop talking! Let the people stay!"

You are using this to test cadres? Which cadre can withstand such a test!
