The rise of Legalism changed the ecology of the entire Han political arena.

About ten years ago, in the entire court, there were only two or three people who ******** leaning towards the two thousand stones of the Legalists.

But today, Legalism has completed the layout from the local to the central.

The Imperial Historian is wrong and controls the power of supervision.

Ting Wei Zhao Yu held the stick of law enforcement.

Holding the capital of Jin Wuzhi, he stared at all those who tried to cause trouble to the country.

Under the stick of holding Jinwu, the dead are no longer one hundred or two hundred.

Rather, in the thousands.

There are even four princes and kings, five princes and princes of the clan and more than ten nephews of two thousand stones, blooming under the stick of holding Jinwu.

Blood can bring fear, but it can also bring power.

The momentum of the Legalists is now catching up with the old Huang faction, which has been dying and has almost no successors.

Now, in the Central Committee, among the seats of the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries, the Legalists occupy three seats.

As for the localities, there are more than 70 counties of the Han family, and more than 10 counties have fallen under the control of the ministers of the Legalists.

The most typical is that Zhang Tang is located in Nanyang County.

In the past two years, relying on the harsh punishment law or 'doing what he says', Zhang Tang has managed the entire Nanyang in an orderly manner.

None of the officials from top to bottom dared to bend the law for personal gain or act recklessly.

Nanyang County, so Dazhi.

The road is not forgotten, and the night is not closed.

Whether it is a bureaucrat or a landlord or a ranger, all of them have their tails between their legs.

Thus, a spectacle emerged.

Although Nanyang County has strict law enforcement, it is the best in the world.

However, the social economy and people's livelihood have overtaken Luoyang and Hedong, and have become the only rich county in this pass.

Even ordinary people can afford to consume well-made ironware.

Even, Nanyang County is now one of the places with the largest number of cattle and horses in the whole world.

According to the statistics of the Prime Minister's Yamen.

In Nanyang County, on average, every five households have one ploughing ox or pulling a horse.

Warehouses are piled up with grain.

Zhang Tang triumphantly reported to Prime Minister Zhou Yafu -- there is no hunger in Nanyang today, the old have something to rely on, and there is little support, and the so-called 'teaching of the best of the earth' is also the so-called 'teaching of the best of the earth'.

Although, behind these glossy figures, Liu Che allocates more than 20,000 yuan to Nanyang County every year for the development of a crude steel smelting base.

The present situation of Nanyang County is actually relying on the continuous blood transfusion of the central government.

However, with the gradual commissioning of the smelting base.

Nanyang County already has its own hematopoietic ability.

At least, from this year onwards, Liu Che no longer needs to throw money at Nanyang.

On the contrary, a large amount of fiscal and tax revenue can be obtained from Nanyang.

Zhang Tang has proved to the people of the world with practical actions and achievements -- we Legalists have always been good at playing with economy.

There was Li Kui and Wu Zi in the front, and there was Shang Jun Shen Han.

Stimulated by this, the counties and countries of the world have turned their eyes sideways, and many 'well-intentioned people' have sent their children or retainers to Nanyang to learn the 'advanced experience' of Zhang Junshou.

The ministers and giants of the Legalists jumped up and down in it, so it was not lively.

In China, it has always been a matter of winning and losing.

As long as they can succeed, let alone Legalism, everyone will be willing to learn the Mohist model and experience.

Back then, in the early years of the Warring States Period, Wei was the first to change the law, which led to a frenzy of law change in the whole world.

Even the old aristocracy was extremely powerful, and the Chu State, which was a local feudal monarch, invited Wu Qi to preside over the law change.

And Qin, Zhao, Han, Qi, and Yan are even more unchanged.

When the real benefits and the clear situation are put in front of the world.

Legalists naturally turned over and sang.

Only Liu Che, the emperor who has mastered the first-hand information and the most detailed information, knows that the success of Zhang Tang, or the success of the Nanyang model, is where the success is.

Nanyang's prosperity was built on the blood and tears of more than 50,000 prisoners, slaves and criminals.

These convicts, slaves, and criminals used their own hands and hard work to build a large-scale industrial base in Nanyang with an initial annual output of 200,000 catties of iron and 50,000 catties of crude steel.

They also dredged the rivers and roads of the entire Nanyang, and paved two rail transportation roads that ran through the entire Nanyang with blood, tears and bones.

More than 10,000 lives, in the past two years, have fallen in the process of building bridges and paving roads, disappearing into boiling molten iron and deep mines.

Today, Nanyang has become the largest slave buyer in all of China.

Every year, seventy percent of the slaves who were 'exported' to Shu County by the Southwest Yi Kingdom went to Nanyang.

Now, Zhang Tang has even set his sights on the savages in the jungles of Cochin County, South Vietnam.

He sent envoys to Jiaozhi to have extensive contact with the local Yue nobles and officials, and offered high prices to buy all the 'barbarians'.

He even set his sights on the Xiongnu prisoners of war who were captured in the Battle of Mayi.

If it weren't for Liu Che's usefulness to those Hun prisoners of war.

I'm afraid these poor fellows are now either working in the coal or iron mines in shackles, or the real blazing blast furnaces are being whipped by the overseers to smelt the ore.

And with so much free labor.

If Nanyang County can't succeed.

Liu Che couldn't think of anyone who could succeed.

Nanyang's experience is, of course, very easy to learn.

As far as Liu Che knows, now, in Shu County, in the counties of Changsha Kingdom, and in the Andong Regions.

The big guys have set off a craze to learn from Nanyang's experience.

The terrible institution of slavery, after hundreds of years of death, seems to have seen a glimmer of resurgence.

This time, however, Chinese officials and aristocrats chose to devote themselves to engineering and industrial construction.

……………………………………

Liu Che walked out of the main hall of the Xuanshu Palace, stood in front of the steps in front of the hall, and stared at the prosperous Chang'an City in front of him.

"The first sacrifices have already been delivered to the altar......," he thought to himself, "but this is not enough!" ”

How many people can be caught in the mountains of the southwest and the jungles of Cochin?

It's great to hold on to a million and catch a million!

Even if you count the Japanese slaves in the Neon Islands, it won't add more than 100,000.

With such a small population, it is necessary for such a huge China to hatch capitalism and the bourgeoisie.

Some idiots say that they are dreaming.

At most, just a sprout,

Remarkable, two more young leaves.

The real hope is still in the West, in the vast Indian subcontinent and Central Asia!

It was a vast world with a population no less than the Chinese population.

Only the population and resources there can help China and give birth to a real industrial revolution and the bourgeoisie.

"I don't know, where did the military minister's westward expedition go?" Liu Che thought: "Da Wanguo, are you still insisting?" ”

……………………………………………………

Dawan Kingdom, of course, is still struggling to support.

However, this once glorious city-state kingdom is now on the verge of extinction.

In the spring of this year, Dawan still had more than 70 cities and a population of hundreds of thousands.

But now, only seven or eight fortified cities such as the capital Casa are still holding on.

The rest of the cities have all fallen.

"Have the gods of Aspirin abandoned us?" Theodotus, the king of Dawan, looked worriedly at the endless Hun tents under the city of Casa, and sighed: "Is the great Ionian kingdom about to be destroyed in my hands?" ”

In fact, Dawan is just a translation of Chinese.

The real name of the kingdom of Dawan, its Greek name, is Ionia.

In the ancient Indian texts, they were called Yavana.

Dawan is also a name translated from Yavana.

At this time, no Chinese arrived here.

Therefore, Dawan still exists in the world in the name of the Great Ionian Kingdom.

However, thirty years ago, they lost touch with their home country.

A hundred years ago, the Greek city-states of Central Asia underwent a series of earth-shattering changes.

First, the Seleucid governor of Bactria declared his independence and established the kingdom of Bactria.

Subsequently, the Kingdom of Bactria was aggressive, and its power once arrived in the legendary Silk Country.

But the good times were short-lived, and thirty or forty years ago, there was a civil war in the kingdom of Bactria.

The kingdom was divided into two parts, north and south.

What's even more terrifying is that the Dayue clan from the east was defeated by the Xiongnu and moved westward, and their arrival brought complete changes to the entire Central Asia.

The most intuitive change is that the Cypriot tribes active in Central Asia driven by the Yueshi people also invaded various Greek city-state kingdoms.

Together with the Yueshi people, they rewrote the history of Central Asia.

and separated many of the Hellenistic city-states, including Dawan, from the Bactrian kingdom of Antioch.

Since then, the Great Wan, or the so-called Great Ionian Kingdom, has gained its independence.

But the taste of independence is bitter and difficult.

The Dawan people had to deal not only with the invasion of the Cypriots, but also with a terrible threat from all sides.

Now, we have encountered an unprecedented crisis!

Barbarian cavalry from the east reappeared in the land of Dawan.

But this time, they didn't just cross the border.

They are terrible conquerors who come with death and blood.

In all the breached cities, almost all the men, who dared to resist, were all killed, their heads stuck in wooden stakes, and even scalped off alive to make wine vessels.

The men, women, and children who surrendered were all led up by those terrible barbarians with ropes and taken to unknown distances.

In the past four months, the kingdom of Dawan has lost more than half of its population and army, and most of its cities.

Now, I can only rely on Kasa and other fortified cities to survive.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that in the east there is a powerful nation that has defeated these barbarians...... "said the vice-king of Dawan, Okorati, "just as the barbarian cavalry was defeated decades ago......"

"Maybe we can turn to them for help!"

"How can I ask for help? We don't know the language, and we don't know where they are! ”

"No!" The vice-king said, "Your Majesty, we know that the mighty country is there!" ”

"It must be the legendary Silk Country!"

"Please allow me, as a descendant of Alexander the Great, to send an envoy to the Silk Country, meet the King of the Silk Country, and ask him for help!"

"I once heard a legend that when the barbarians and Cypriots invaded, the people of a city-state, led by its nobles, fled to the Silk Kingdom and received preferential treatment from the King of the Silk Country! ”

"Besides, we are facing the same enemy as the Silk Country, and I am sure that the King of the Silk Country will help us......"

"But ......," said Theodotus, sighing, "we can't hold it for long......"

"These barbarians are so brutal that our soldiers and phalanx can't beat them......" Theodot closed his eyes, recalling the nightmares of the past four months.

The cavalry of the barbarians is overwhelming, and moreover, they are ferocious and tyrannical.

The Greek infantry and archers were in front of them, like papier-mâché.

In particular, the longbows of these barbarian cavalry have a long range, strong lethality, and the archers are so skilled in archery that they can even suddenly turn around and shoot arrows.

Many brave generals died under this tactic of these barbarians.

Now, the Great Ionian Kingdom has only 20,000 remnants of defeated soldiers left.

The soldiers did not even dare to go out of the city anymore.

"Then ask Antioch for help!" "Even, we can send messengers to the royal court of the Yue clan and the Cypriots to ask for help!" ”

"These barbarians are obviously the sworn enemies of the Yue people, and their slogan is also to settle accounts with the Yue people!"

"Do the Yue clan and the Cypriot people dare to face these barbarians advancing west?"

"They are the enemies of the whole world!" "All the descendants of Alexander the Great and Seleucus the Great, as well as the nobles and kingdoms of all civilizations, should join hands to face this great threat!" ”

"And I, on the other hand, will still lead people to sneak to the east, looking for the direction of the Silk Country, in the hope of obtaining the Silk Country's assistance!"

Now, Theodotte had no other way.

He could only nod and said: "Then so be it, I will immediately send people to Antioch and India to seek the help of my compatriots, and the silk country in the east, please leave it to you!" ”

…………………………………………

Unlike the Greeks.

The Huns are as happy now as the New Year.

Can you not be happy?

Last year, they suffered heavy losses at the foot of the Great Wall.

More than 50,000 men were killed or captured.

The foundation of the entire empire is almost crumbling.

But now......

When they attack to the west.

The harvest exceeded their expectations and imagination.

"Big order Yu...... We're rich! Lying on a box full of gold coins, the Hun Fox She, who was reluctant to come down at all, said happily: "In just four months, we have robbed more than 200,000 slaves, including nearly 100,000 female slaves!" ”

"Gold, silver, wine and delicacies, even more are too many to count!"

"Warriors, everyone is already full of fighting spirit, just waiting for the big order to order!"

And that's exactly what happened!

The Huns marched westward, and in four months, they made up for all their losses in the east.

The number of slaves and wealth acquired surprised the military ministers.

"Hmm!" The military minister said with some reserve: "This is all the blessing of the ancestors and gods, and the ancestors and gods told Ben Danyu that the future of the Xiongnu is in the west!" (To be continued.) )
