Chapter 1095 Time Is The Most Important Issue

Ran Ming did not divide the world with the scholar-bureaucrats like Zhao Song did.Because Ran Ming understands that every time more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, most of them are scholars who are ungrateful.

Scholar-bureaucrats are unreliable, because they think they are superior to others, and no matter who is in power, they need to use them.But those soldiers who came from ordinary people were different.They know how to be grateful and who is the one who really treats them well.It is very easy to bribe dozens of officials, but it is very difficult to buy Wei's army, and the price is too high.In fact, it is not the major general and division commander who directly controls the army in Wei State, but the regimental commander and battalion commander.

Liu Xiaozhong is from Neihuang, and his background is very poor.He was the son of a blacksmith. When he was six years old, his parents were killed by a group of Jie people who came to Liu's iron shop to forge weapons.In order to save Liu Xiaozhong's life, his father let him hide under the charcoal pile.Liu Xiaozhong, who survived the catastrophe, relied on the reputation established by his father, and with the help of his neighbors, he grew up eating a variety of meals.Often, the east family would drink a bowl of porridge, while the west family would chew crispy rice, and endure hunger for a whole day.It's been like this for a few years.Suddenly one day news came that Ran Min from Neihuang became the emperor and called on the righteous people in the world to fight against Hu.Liu Xiaozhong rushed into the barracks with countless Neihuang people and became a soldier of the Wei army.

As Wei Guo passed through the most difficult three years of Yongxing, the situation is getting better and better.Liu Xiaozhong was rewarded with 150 mu of military field and [-] mu of military field for his bravery in battle.From a refugee who was an inch tile to owning [-] mu of land, Liu Xiaozhong lived a life of property.Liu Xiaozhong also changed the name of the original Goudan. He named him Zhongzhong and swore to be loyal to the Ran Dynasty.In the sixth year of Yongxing, Wei County sent a group of Jin refugees.With the help of the government, Liu Xiaozhong married a wife.

The other party also came from a poor family, and his appearance is not bad. The key is to be able to endure hardships, and he brought three underage brothers to help Liu Xiaozhong manage the family business.Liu Xiaozhong was always stationed in the military camp, and he had two months of vacation every year. Although Liu Xiaozhong was not at home, Liu Qin's head was shrewd, and he rented three slaves from the government to take care of the fields.The days are getting more and more prosperous, especially the birth of his son, which makes Liu Xiaozhong more energetic.Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaozhong, who was defending Nanyang at that time, was ambushed by the Jin army. As a result, a stone bomb smashed Liu Xiaozhong's legs from the thigh root down to a pulp.

Liu Xiaozhong, who was already desperate, almost committed suicide.Fortunately, under the careful care of the military medical officer, Liu Xiaozhong came back to life.Liu Xiaozhong, who was forced to retire, was appointed as the tax official of Maxing Street in Yecheng after healed from his injury.His daily job is to collect the taxes that need to be paid by various merchants, and then hand them over to the tax department, although he has lost his legs and has limited mobility.The imperial court of the state of Wei also gave Liu Xiaozhong a wheelchair. What satisfied Liu Xiaozhong the most was that Liu Xiaozhong's son could enter the Huangxian School in Wei's country for free to study, and in the future he could take the imperial examination and become an official.

Who is the bottom in Wei State?Ordinary people like Liu Xiaozhong.There are the most people like this, and this is also the real backbone of the Wei state.Liu Xiaozhong started from scratch, and now he has accumulated tens of millions of wealth, all of which were given by the Emperor Wei.If anyone opposes the emperor, Liu Xiaozhong will definitely go up and fight desperately.Because Liu Xiaozhong knew that in this world, only the court of the Kingdom of Wei would value such a cripple who lacked two legs.

Every emperor needs a group of absolute loyalists and supporters. In Zhao Song Shida = the beneficiary class selected by the Zhao Song court.But in Wei State, people like Liu Xiaozhong who shed blood and sweat for the country are the beneficiary class chosen by Ran Ming.It is very important to maintain that every group has room for advancement. The gentry's children are active in their minds. They can play an important role in the business and civil service systems. For those ordinary people and the poor, the only way to make progress is through the military.Although children from poor families can participate in entrance examinations and imperial examinations, this level is very low.It is not at the starting line itself.Although the imperial examination system is very fair on the surface, in fact, because of the good educational environment, there is no sufficient education funds, and there is no strong teaching staff.

The State of Wei has 500 million slaves. Although these slaves are not really included in the total population of the State of Wei, Ran Ming did not cut off their way of advancement.Learn to speak Chinese, learn to use Chinese characters, learn Chinese customs, and perform well when you reach the age limit, and you can slowly transfer to Wei nationality.As long as they become real Wei nationalities, they can also enjoy the treatment of Wei nationals, and they must also bear the obligations that Wei nationals should fulfill.

After observing Wei Guo for so long, Yue Ai not only failed to figure out the reason why Wei Guo was truly powerful, but became more and more confused.In Yue Ai's eyes, those slaves who were enslaved by Wei people should hate Wei people, but what he saw was just different. These slaves worked very hard, and they had to work hard to become Wei people. .

The three words "Wei people" are very attractive to the foreigners of Wei.Whether it is the political prisoners and scholars from the Roman Empire, or the scholars from various countries and ministries in Southeast Asia, they are all desperately studying in their respective fields of expertise, trying to obtain their own "green cards" from Wei.

There are more than 1 new technologies on the steam engine invented by the State of Wei, and more than one-third of the patented technology owners are not from the nationality of the State of Wei. The country's prosperity and prosperity, working hard.Yue Ai couldn't figure it out, and couldn't understand why the Gupta Empire didn't have such a strong cohesion and centripetal force as the Wei State?
Yue Ai was puzzled, and asked the attendants who were monitoring him, but they couldn't find out why.So Yue Ai begged to see Ran Ming.

Hearing that the servant said that Yue'ai asked to see him, Ran Ming asked Yue'ai to see him.

Ran Ming looked at the so-called greatest emperor in Indian history. Ran Ming really didn't see the shadow of a wise king in Yue Ai, but felt that Yue Ai was like a restrained boy next door.

When Yue Ai saw Ran Ming, she admired him very much in her heart.Ran Ming is only 12 years older than him, but Ran Ming is the emperor of a country thousands of miles away, and the whole country revolves around his will.At this time, Ran Ming was wearing normal clothes, and was lazily lying on a soft couch.

Yue Ai respectfully knelt down in front of Ran Ming and kowtowed: "Xiaowang Fanbang joins His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor!"

"You looked at it, and turned around, did you get the answer you want?" Ran Ming asked lightly, "Do you have any ideas?"

Yue Ai nodded and said: "Yue Ai is stupid, seeing flowers are not flowers, seeing fog is not fog, not only did not understand, but even more confused!"

"No hurry, no hurry!" Ran Ming said with a smile: "We Chinese people, after 5000 years of civilization, have condensed the efforts of countless Chinese sages, and now we have achieved what we are today. Let alone one year, I will give you ten years , you can barely learn a superficial thing. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you understand it or not, the key is to do it. If you learn from Huaxia, you can also govern the Gupta Empire to be as prosperous and prosperous as the Great Wei!"

Yue Ai said in astonishment: "Can I...can...learn...learn?"

"Why not!" Ran Ming said: "In my opinion, the culture, politics, military and economy of the Gupta Empire are all backward things. You only need to study the Great Wei and Chinese culture in an all-round way to truly become prosperous and strong. The State of Wei has one and only one official language. In your Gupta Empire, there are more than 180 ethnic groups, two to three hundred languages, and fifty or sixty kinds of characters. In this way, how can you carry out the government order smoothly? No matter what Whichever script or language is adopted as the official language and official script will be suppressed by other ethnic groups, how about this, you should learn Chinese, learn Chinese, and learn Chinese system!"

"But, our Gupta Empire doesn't have so many people who can understand Chinese!" Yue Ai smiled wryly.

"It doesn't matter, I can send you the best teacher!"

"Even if there is a teacher, those barbarians will definitely resist Chinese!"

"It doesn't matter, I can send a large army to follow you back to the Gupta Empire. Whoever dares to refuse to accept it can go and test the sharpness of my sword!"

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, do you mean to let the little king go back to the Gupta Empire?" Yue Ai said, "Isn't your majesty afraid that the little king will organize an army to attack Wei after he returns?"

"It's okay, you can try it!" Ran Ming laughed.

After Yue Ai left, Wang Jian, the Prime Minister of Wei State, said impatiently, "Your Majesty really allows Yue Ai to return to the country? Let him learn from my Chinese civilization?"

"Why not?" Ran Ming said: "The Gupta Empire can't learn from China at all. Besides, if they can really learn from China, I will be relieved. As long as the Gupta Empire can accept Chinese culture, we can swallow the Gupta Empire in one go. .”

Ran Ming's willingness to release Yue Ai and return to China was actually not out of kindness.It's just that the situation has changed. Yueai is the prince of the Gupta Empire and the third emperor of the Gupta Empire. During his reign, the Gupta Empire reached its peak.This period is also considered the Golden Age of India.But Yue Ai's brain was filled with water, and she dared to come to Wei Guo alone.

Ran Ming originally didn't mean to kill Yue Ai, but to influence Yue Ai, making the Gupta Empire a pro-China regime, and gradually peacefully evolved into a vassal state of Wei.

Unexpectedly, when Samadhara Gupta learned that Yue Ai had lost contact with the country, he guessed that he had been killed, so he changed Yue Ai's fourth brother, Gandhara Gupta, to be the prince of the Gupta Empire, and tried to make Gandhara Gupta the prince of the Gupta Empire. Gupta became the governor of Fahrenheit City, commanding the military and political power of Fahrenheit City.

Once Gandhara Gupta gained a firm foothold in the Gupta Empire, Moon Love, an originally very important chess piece, would be completely reduced to a waste chess piece.This is the last thing Ran Ming wants to see.So at this time, even though Yue Ai was not completely converted, Ran Ming needed to put Yue Ai back to the Gupta Empire.The struggle for the throne was very bloody. The key point is that the Gupta Empire, like the Han Dynasty, divided the princes into various places. In this case, it planted the root of civil strife.If the seven kingdoms of the Han Dynasty were in chaos, and the seven princes besieged a soft emperor, even if the Han Dynasty did not split at the right time, it would disappear in smoke.It's a pity that the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms created the prestige of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Ran Ming doesn't know if Moon Love can win, at least he can become the greatest monarch in Indian history. Moon Love is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.As long as Wei Guo can buy two or three years, Wei Guo can complete the refitting of the rifle and organize an army the size of a group army to sweep the Gupta Empire.

As long as there are people, there will be grievances, and as long as there are grievances, there will be disputes.Whether it's rivers and lakes or temples, the essence is actually the same.Yueai wished she could put on her wings and fly back to the Gupta Empire quickly.

At this time, he had just learned from the state of Wei that Gandhara Gupta had replaced him as the prince of the Gupta Empire.For this brother who is four years younger than him, Yue Ai has a very clear understanding.Among the children of the Gupta royal family, Gandhara Gupta is an outlier.Like most children of the royal family in history, the children of the royal family of the Gupta Empire gradually changed from martial arts to literary.But Gandhara Gupta was the only prince who was a martial artist among the children of the royal family.Gandhara Gupta was not only as strong as a bull, but more importantly, he worshiped Marshal Singh as his teacher and learned the art of war from Marshal Singh.

On the surface, Marshal Singh has lost power in the Gupta Empire, but unfortunately, in essence, Marshal Singh is still the soul of the Gupta Empire army.He still has a relatively strong influence in the army, especially a large number of children of the Singer family, who serve as middle-level generals in the army.Gandhara Gupta is equivalent to having the recognition of the military.

The royal family's selection of heirs is actually raising Gu with the Miao people, which is similar to raising mastiffs. Usually, they let them kill each other until there is only one left.And that worm is called the Gu mother.Tibetan mastiff is actually the same training method, this method is not only bloody but also cruel enough.Therefore, in history, it is not uncommon for the royal family to fight each other. It is not because the royal family has no family affection and is bloodthirsty and aggressive.But because the emperor would force them to fight.Of course, when raising Gu to select heirs, once the control is not good, Li Yuan of the Xuanwu Sect will be backlashed.Yue Ai also knew that choosing Gandhara Gupta as the prince actually represented a change in the national policy of the Gupta Empire.

In the history of the Gupta Empire, facing the attack of the Heda people, the Gupta Empire successfully resisted the invasion of the Heda people.Of course, this is not because the Heda people are not strong enough to fight, but because of the internal rebellion of the Heda people, and the Gupta Empire defeated the Heda people with its strong logistical supply capabilities and organizational capabilities.However, in this time and space, because of the rise of Wei State, Wei State began to complete the strategic siege of the Gupta Empire from the north and the south. In order to lead the Gupta Empire to avoid the fate of being destroyed.

At this time, Yue Ai was also very unwilling.If it was in China, Yue Ai's status as a crown prince would allow Yue Ai to take the initiative, but in the Gupta Empire, the so-called status and the so-called carelessness are actually a fart.Yue Ai suddenly discovered that he could not find a way to regain power except by relying on Wei Guo's power.

But there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and Yue Ai naturally knows that, with the help of Wei Guo's power, to regain his own power and status, he needs to pay a price, and this price is unbearable for him.If possible, Yue Ai doesn't like to deal with Wei's ministers at all, because they are not only cunning, but also have sophisticated plans and plans.

In the end, the negotiation between Wei Guo and Yue Ai started. The ministers of Wei Guo who were in charge of the negotiation were very conscious, and they all worked hard to fight for the interests of Wei Guo.Even if it is the definition of rivers and the ownership of mountains, they will not let it go. This may be the clearest boundary definition for the first time in history.

In this negotiation, the biggest victory of the Wei State was to cut off the huge area of ​​Ladar (Kashmir) and the Indus River Basin from the Gupta Empire, especially the Punjab Plain in the richest Punjab state in the north of the Gupta Empire, including the later Womo The city of Lahore, the capital of the Er Empire, also belonged to Wei State.

Through this negotiation, the state of Wei obtained about [-] square kilometers of land in the north, northwest, and northeast of the Gupta Empire, and ceded all of Kashmir and more than two-thirds of the northeastern part of Pakistan to Wei.Although getting so many benefits, it also caused Wei Guo a headache. After all, how to rule such a large territory is a big problem.

The jurisdiction of Tingzhou and Chuzhou is already very large. In Tingchu and Chuzhou, any county is almost larger than the territory of a state in the Central Plains. If these areas are merged into Chuzhou, then Chuzhou will occupy One-third of Wei State's territory.The Wei cabinet came up with two plans for Ran Ming to choose from. The first plan was to establish a separate state.The name is Xinzhou (Indus Sanskrit Sindhu transliteration (Xindu).

The second plan is to combine the Niaofei County in the southeast of Chuzhou (with the city of Sule Sehe. The Wakhandaria River Basin on the upper source of the Panchi River today belongs to Salhad in Pakistan, which is in the south of Congling Mountain.) and Chu The state was separated and placed under the jurisdiction of Xinzhou.In this way, Xinzhou will govern eleven counties and 73 counties.The capital of Xinzhou is located in the city of Lahore.

Ran Ming quickly agreed to the second plan, but he was very dissatisfied with the fact that most counties and counties in Chuzhou, Wei State, did not have Chinese style, and ordered the cabinet to change all the names of counties and counties to Chinese style city names.Ran Ming proposed the principle of renaming. The counties in Chuzhou were named after famous officials and generals of the Han Dynasty, and the counties of Xinzhou were named after famous officials and generals of the Qin Dynasty.All the county names are named after the civil and military officials of Wei State.
