Chapter 37 Checks and Balances
In the early morning, facing the rising sun, an army of 800 people walked slowly northward.
Zhong Yu rode a horse and walked in the center of the team surrounded by several guards. He cherishes his life very much, and he must guard against any danger.
If any danger can be stifled in the cradle, it will not be released to grow, and if it can be prepared in advance, it will not be deliberately allowed to get close to him.
This is the homework that every high-ranking person must do. You can give up everything, and you can not care about anything, but your own life, but you feel that you should care about it.
As long as he is still alive, then he can use his identity to draw a large number of people who are loyal to himself anytime, anywhere, and want to use his identity to increase officials and titles, and gain countless benefits, and run out to surround him.
At that time, he will not have the confidence to turn the book. Where there is life, there is hope. Therefore, unless it is necessary, Zhong Yu will never go to the battlefield alone.
Even if he wants to go to the battlefield, he has to make sure that there is a fatal danger on the field, and is there a danger of death for himself? Only after confirming everything and knowing that these are not a big threat to him and will not have any fatal possibility, will he rush to the battlefield under the protection of the guards around him.
That's right, even if you go to the battlefield, you have to bring a large number of people who are enough to defend their lives. Just in case a whole bunch of potential conspiracies around plotting their own lives emerge.
In this way, under Zhong Yu's secret smugness, the army slowly moved forward, walked more than ten miles, and came to the Mengla tribe. Here, under the continuous construction of the captives of the Mengla tribe, after a month, there is already a small town.
The foundation of the city has not yet been laid, but all the houses in the city have been built almost, and hundreds of people can live there. As long as a few walls are built to enclose the city, and a few official mansions are being built, then it is properly a small county town in ancient China.
Of course, in this extraordinary place, where great power continues. Such a small city is far from enough to protect the safety of the people in the north of the city, so he can only be regarded as the basic defense of a small town. The city wall is only five meters high, even if it is facing a person who is just entering the second order. That person was also able to climb the city wall with ease.
Therefore, unless there are people with extraordinary strength sitting on the side, if the opponent has a person above the second rank, then this kind of simple city defense can easily be broken by the enemy.
According to Zhong Yu’s plan, a township-level town has a wall height of five meters, a county-level town has a wall height of ten meters, a county-level city has a wall height of fifteen meters, and a prefectural-level city has a wall height of twenty meters. A state-level capital with a city wall thirty meters high. Dao-level imperial city, the city wall is fifty meters high.
The Mengla tribe is just a township-level area, and according to the system, only a five-meter-high city wall can be built. As for Luoyang City, it will be a county town hundreds of miles around, so a fifteen-meter-high city wall can be built.
All of these were planned in my mind when the construction of Luoyang City finally started. All of this must be done in accordance with etiquette, rules and regulations. To strictly abide by it, unless there is an order of its own, there can be no overstepping.
If there is a slight overstep, it is resentment and rebellion. Anyone can kill them, and they will also be involved in the nine clans, so as to deter the world.
Etiquette, system, law, these three things are a good thing. They give protection to the weak, so that they can create more wealth for themselves with peace of mind, they give the strong and bondage, and let them bear the ties of loyalty, filial piety, kindness, and common sense.
This kind of shackle after another kept entangling them, making him unable to breathe with a heavy burden on his back. Do not dare to violate any dogma given by the weak, and do not dare to go beyond it in the slightest.
A little bit of common sense behavior, words, will be pointed out by all the people. Words can sometimes kill people. It's just that he didn't do it directly, but through the persecution of everyone around him, to make that person unable to bear his own spirit and commit suicide.
And even if the strong have the power to resist everything, they can destroy all etiquette and dogma and kill all the weak who dare to criticize themselves. However, the people they care about and tie down are unable to see through everything because they are weak.
In other words, he is afraid of everything and needs the protection of these etiquette and dogma, and constantly restrains the strong man, accepts the requirements of the world, and slowly becomes a mediocre person.
Become a dog of the superior, work for the superior, and then stand out for the so-called glory of the ancestors, constantly swaying his blood, squeezing his strength, and slowly being sucked into the bone marrow.
Until there is no use value, and it is abandoned and becomes a corpse that no one has heard of on the roadside, and the person who cares about it will also be sad for a while because of his disappearance, and then go to find the one who survived. capital.
And those who dare to resist and crush all those who dare to stand in their way. Even the person he cares about, if he dares to stand in his way, he will tear it to shreds at all costs. Use it to prove the so-called power in your heart, is it powerful or not, and is it enough?
Therefore, the world is afraid of those people, naming them one after another with vicious names, and twisting and fabricating all his actions. Let the world understand that this kind of person is hateful, cruel, and not tolerated by the world.
And put them on the title one after another, the faint, tyrant, and hero one after another sounded like a very good name. Delusions use these to warn those who have the ability to make them dare not, disobey, and try the power of this common sense with the safety of their own lives and their families.
After inspecting the construction of the city, I gave a few instructions. Zhong Yu continued to set off with his rested army again, heading to the first tribe ten miles ahead of him, and began her journey of conquest.
Continuous sweeping along the way. With the previous experience, this journey went smoothly, and there were no major mistakes. Those tribes were swept away one by one by themselves.
In this way, time passed slowly, five days passed, Zhong Yu had already swept the plain thirty miles north of the Mengla tribe. The range of thirty miles around here, except for a few gathering points set by Zhong Yu. There is no one place where people live, and all the people have been captured by Zhong Yu, concentrated in one place, and become the foundation of their own rule.
In this battle, a total population of more than 2,400 people was obtained. Except for Su who sent him more than 900 people to the Mengla tribe to assist them in building a new city, the remaining 1,500 people were all separated by him, and every 500 people went to , a place to build a village.
In this way, the three villages are horns of each other, and each village radiates a radius of ten miles, and the surrounding area of thirty miles can be completely under its own monitoring and control.
And Zhong Yu also left behind 100 young men and 150 barbarian servants to guard these captives together. And he continued on the road with the remaining 100 guards, 300 strong and 150 barbarian servants.
This time, his goal was to connect the two territories that China Unicom had struck down before. Zhong Yu's territory is like a cross. The northeast, southeast, and southwest of the cross are all boundless forests, and he is in the center of the cross.
The north and west sides are the territories laid down before. Both directions have been taken down, but the fan-shaped area in the middle does not have any power of his own, so this time he intends to open it up in one fell swoop and connect his territory into one piece.
From the previous curve, it became a thick piece. With a solid rear, it can provide a steady stream of power for its own expedition ahead.
