The battle for imperial power in the central mainland changed dramatically with Jue Ying's joining.

On July 2, the northern insect swarm of purple-black insect nest arrived at Lao Wu's territory.

As early as a year ago, when the Regent (Lao Liu) enthroned Jue Ying to the Northern General, Lao Wu was actually ready to strengthen a series of city blocks in the border area.

This old fifth really doesn't know how biased the old emperor is towards his eldest daughter. The old emperor seemed to have expected the current situation, and gave the topographic map of the northern mountains decades ago to this eldest daughter.

Of course, Lao Wu didn't know that after his nominal elder sister woke up for a long time, she had the ability to "perceive species genes". She didn't know that in this chaotic world, there were ghosts like insect consciousness, such as filthy world.

Shanquan Pass.

This is a very stable level. There are tall mountains on the north and south sides, and a gully between cliffs in the center. This is the "natural" valley hit by heavy rainstorms when the Zhongsheng civilization transformed the planet. Of course, there is no warm and humid air flow here, so it naturally becomes a dry canyon.

Lao Wu set up a checkpoint here. However, today, among the mountains on both sides, a large amount of gravel rolled down from the gentle slope of the hillside. A cave appeared from the mountain, and huge worms drilled into a natural cave in the mountain. As this guy blossomed on the mountain, batches of multi-legged beetles also rolled down from the hillside.

The commander of the corps was Giant Scythe. His father was a knight of the Golden Beetle I in his early years and was later sent to the north. He was a "barbarian" born and raised in the wilderness of the north. He escaped from his father's cultural teaching when he was young and fought bravely when he was an adult. Now he took the initiative to apply to be a pioneer of the raid.

As he rushed down from the mountains, he looked at the neatly planned urban area ahead, with bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.

In the raid corps, purple-blue insects opened their sickle-like pliers, and a long tube device stretched out from the central mouthpiece, shooting beams of particles. Fires rose from the houses and positions at the foot of the mountain.

The power of this particle beam is actually not great, it scatters out of nowhere five hundred meters away.

Within a range of 200 meters, the lethality of the wood is only ignited. It is more like a long range and straight ballistic low-power flamethrow weapon, which is far less lethal than the lethality of the bullet kinetic energy. This aspect also reflects that Jue Ying's corps at this time were very scarce in the weapon system.

However, this was a raid. With the defenders losing sight of each other, these electric particle beam beetles occupied the warehouse. The front level ahead was also breached under the explosion of the pit of the ground worm.

Jue Ying's army poured into Guanzhong and completely included Lao Wu's "important strategic rear" into his own control.

...

Four hours later, the Swarm Legion sprayed almost pheromone on every brick in the level city.

Then the identification of people in the city began.

Jueying knew deeply that the early stage of her entry into the territory was very valuable, so her decisions at this time must be very efficient! In the shortest time, all the people who are useful to her in the occupied area will be forced to be included.

That is to separate the craftsmen and artillerymen.

If it is a burning wheel, it is to control the municipal department, obtain household registration files, control the granary and water sources, stabilize local order, and send soldiers to supervise local officials and check local data.

In the early days of the occupation of the Xishui Port, the army sent about one-tenth of the number of local bureaucrats. This was easy for the Lanhun army, which popularized education.

But for Jue Ying's Northern Legion, they do not have this ability. The north and the '博' coastal areas have always been isolated - the level of civilization is not high.

After siege, Qiu Ba people under Jueying divided the people in the square into two categories. One is useful and the other is useless.

Logically speaking, why can’t you let go of ‘useless’ after finding out what is useful?

History has proved that any social selection must create certain differences - that is, those who are close to oneself must be better than those who are not close to oneself, so that useful people can be forced out.

If the occupying army has enough resources, it is naturally to invest resources and reward those who are close to oneself to create this difference. However, the occupying army has no resources. In order to gather talents, it is necessary to punish the useless talent group and force useful talents to stand up for themselves.

Therefore, the reason why nomadic peoples on the earth wanted to massacre after capturing the city - the poor people of these grasslands, the initial organization could only use craftsmen. Therefore, in order to quickly identify craftsmen, they directly used a one-size-fits-all method to divide them into two categories. If craftsmen want to survive, they must come out.

In the later period, the city will not be merciful. Instead, there is a little resource, and the system can also accommodate non-craftsmen, such as self-cultivators and small vendors (transporters), to play a role. Therefore, a slightly better slave hierarchy is adopted to rule.

[People are utilitarian, no matter how high or low the civilization is! The difference is that a society with high civilization has a better win-win thinking; a society with low civilization has a "simple" cooperative relationship, so if you want to expand profitably, its utilitarian model will appear barbaric and cruel.]

As a qualified ruler, Jueying acquiesced the following things to happen.

The generals under her command implanted parasites to all the useless men and women after attacking the city. These blood-red insects implanted from their mouths and noses made the receptors cry in pain. One-thirty of these receptors would not be able to withstand the parasites and die; those who withstand the food will become larger, their physique will become stronger, and they will become extremely qualified slaves.

This scene made the anxious craftsmen and surrendered soldiers tremble.

Next, the maid next to Princess Jueying was the savior, and he took Jueying's order to appease these people and invited them to serve the Northern Kings Corps.

As for what would happen if you didn't serve the Kings Corps... Isn't it clear what the unlucky guys who were turned into slaves by General Giant Scythe?

Under the strict military regulations on reward and punishment, these corps were quickly surrendered and turned into the best army under feudal standards.

Jueying's Northern Kings Army also had artillery soldiers, grassroots officers who could draw maps, and could also load armor and firearms on the insects. If these people could do well, they would be given some slaves.

...

After breaking through Shanquan Pass, mid-July.

Almost like a snowball, Jueying gradually annexed all the facilities in the territory of the Five Princes, including his mother insects that had once plundered from the imperial capital.

In late July, we arrived outside Jujiaodu.

Jueying, who was strong and powerful, carried 1,500 giant tortoise mortar cannons and fought with the fifth prince who had been bullied Yu Yong.

On the eighty-kilometer battlefield, a large number of purple-black flying insects were constantly bombing the battlefield with a geese-shaped array. This caused the east side of the Laowu formation to collapse first, and the large number of sickle insects that could jump quickly to the position, and then the entire line began to fall.

Within the next two hours, Lao Wu, who had taken the risk with Lao Liu, was killed by artillery, but he did not know his life or death.

The fifth prince may have been captured, but at this moment, for Jue Ying, there is no need for this younger brother to appear.

August 4th.

Jueying's army entered the Jujiao Capital, and the Regent's Hall faced a situation where it was easy to invite the gods and sent them to the gods.

In the imperial palace.

Jue Ying, wearing a purple robe, took the guards to the hall. The ministers were intimidated. She crossed the steps and came directly to her emperor nephew, and performed a ritual for a prince to meet the emperor.

The Regent wanted to say hello, but saw Jue Ying ignored him at all. The atmosphere was extremely awkward. The Regent's crust-shaped fingers clenched, but he had to force a smile on his face.

The little emperor saw the evil uncle who had always suppressed himself and "bullyed" his mother's queen, and was overtaken by his aunt. His tender little face tried to keep his true colors, but he could not control the joy that overflowed in his heart.

The ministers in the court looked at each other and exchanged ideas in their eyes - now the Regent seems to be unable to monopolize the power.

...

After Jueying entered this prosperous imperial capital, his general suggested that his lord "or follow the policies that the northern cities had implemented before."

These 100-household chiefs born in the north were obviously addicted to plundering slaves. This was the plundering after the males were completely indulged.

However, these stupid people misread the form. Now, after Jue Ying entered the pass, there are better alternatives than them.

As the controller of the Gu nest, the biggest difference between "monetizing power" in human society is that the person who depends on himself can completely turn the person who depends on him into a tool of rule, rather than a cornerstone that must be relied on.

After Jueying entered the Giant Scythe, he selected a group of new officers again. These new officers also began to expand their power from the Giant Scythe. All the original Giant Scythe faction were thrown aside. A large number of intermediate officers who followed General Giant Scythe, all forced to hibernate. Although General Giant Scythe did not hibernate, he suddenly became a lonely person in the faction.

Jueying becomes supreme within its power structure. Anyone who wants to maintain his current power must conform to Jueying's will.

Jueying's powerful rule is obviously more competitive than the Regent's.

People from Jujiaodu are not comparing the kindness of each party now. But it is very realistic to see who can grow stronger and who has a lot of empty space power to give to others.

Therefore, although Jue Ying was extremely indifferent to her old subordinates, she now had a large number of central positions to be arranged, so a large number of people in the imperial capital began to take the initiative to surrender. As for whether they would be thrown away by Jue Ying, that was something that she only considered after she had to take the lead.

By the way, everyone is lucky now, that is, General Giant Scythe is so stupid, he will never be so stupid.

...

Jue Ying slightly adjusted his military power in the imperial capital and then launched another attack.

In early September, the new sects who had newly entered the imperial capital led their troops to attack the south and east. These people who had just joined the Jueying Sequence were naturally eager to show their abilities.

On No. 5 and No. 9, the six Gu nests of the fourth and third brothers were removed respectively.

After this series of rapid victory, when he saw that the siege of Giant Kame Capital was about to be completely lifted, Jueying forced the attack despite the order of the Regent to continue the attack.

Political analysts in the imperial capital believe that this is a sign of the breakup between Jue Ying and the Regent.

Teahouse analysts believe that the Regent wants to win completely and stabilize the situation; while Jueying wants to raise the enemy and further control the court.

Actually, it is not that complicated. Jueying just considered the problems of his internal group. This time, the newcomers recruited by the application made a big victory, which was to give people who were still watching: Join yourself quickly, and it will not be possible to expire.

I also want more people to join, so naturally I can't let the first wave of joiners snatch the credit and consolidate the position. I always have to leave some place for the newcomers. As for that court, Jue Ying did not have the awareness of entering the venue to sing the role, but was a chess player outside the game.

If the Northern Legion completely lifts all the encirclement outside this time, the newly recruited newcomers will become the old people who hinder the entry of later generations. And the first batch of recruits are just wealthy people. These talents are just brave, not the strongest ability.

Jueying is tough and flexible.

...

The situation in the north still has a development process, and the perspective returns to the south.

Many generals in the south are now taking advantage of the uncertain situation in the north and are trying their best to beat the second prince. Take Genghe as an example. He made full use of the Linlong tanks given by Zhouyou to conduct a front-line attack. Then he gave some of the insects to the burning wheel to help customize this kind of "heavy cavalry" with steel armor and cannons on the whole body.

Speaking of which, this kind of tank has basically become a necessary existence on the front-line battlefield. It will destroy the opponent's heavy army group that "resisted the line" in one shot, and it will be extremely easy to harvest later. Several other generals also need to be equipped with this heavy armored combat equipment.

Then the cult thing happened: a Gu nest owner named Hewu, in the north of the burning wheel, actually traded with the second prince and helped make tilted armor, but with completely different designs.

The fact that the arms were sold on both sides aroused great anger among the generals led by Genghe. However, at this time they may have forgotten that they had sold the accounts of Lanlun and the reality that the strength of both sides has increased and decreased.

Ran Lun has gained a foothold here, and the industry has initially been able to support itself, which means it will be defeated. What makes Genghe even more puzzled is that Zhouyou is no longer in the southern land bridge area, and everything here is given to a student named Xinzhu.

Genghe was sure at first sight that this boy named Xinzhu was definitely not an honest person like Zhouyou, and he was absolutely a profiteer.

Xinzhu said, "There was something wrong with him. He had just accepted the situation and had no prestige. He had two schools of students under his command to compete for resources..." But in fact, Hewu's faction opened up another line of interest, so he did not add fuel to the fire. Hewu was an honest man, and he was lured to this path by him.

Xinzhu looked helpless: "I don't have enough power to scold him and punish him. I wait for the teacher to decide everything." - The balloon kicked thousands of miles away.

Genghe went crazy: "Where have your teacher been?"

Xinzhu: "Something happened on Xiahong Island, we had some conflicts with the Fukong family, and the teacher went back to deal with it."

Genghe slammed the door and left: "Okay, okay, just wait for your teacher to come back."

Xinzhu looked at the general's back as he left angrily, and the corners of his mouth were slightly grinning, and sarcasm overflowed.

That's right, now Luqiao, the student faction is indeed divided into two competing factions: one faction supports Genghe and several generals, and the other faction secretly contacts the second prince.

Different interest camps appeared within the rifle wheel. This is the inevitability of the capitalist federation. As interests expand and the spread of interest lines will inevitably lead to factional divisions. However, compared with feudal divisions, the division of capital groups has a stronger cohesion nature. Because capital groups are feedback of a total root system - that is, the total industrial chain and the total market.

The factions within the Lanhull plundered the outside world by any means, but they still compete fairly within the country.

Xinzhu classified his classmates with the permission of Zhouyou. Look, Xinzhu was even a pusher in the process of selling arms.

Xinzhu does not have the authority of Zhouyou. If you want your classmates to listen to their own words, you must take everyone to explore profits. While exploring profits, you can naturally take a firm position as a fair referee to resolve conflicts between everyone.

Electricity and energy facilities and road facilities are all in the hands of the Xishui Port government, which means that Zhouyou will deliver the government functions to the core company.

Of course, Zhou You still holds the central bank's monetary sovereignty because this is to give Xinzhu a boost to his ambitions and encourage him to be dictatorial.

The Fuel Group of Xinzhu in the Land Bridge area has become the biggest black hand in the Southern War, exporting a large number of strategic materials such as gun barrels, engines, steel, fuel, etc.

At the same time, the import of raw materials from a series of free trade zones such as Xishui Port has increased day by day. The population is even more like a stream rushing into the river, gathering towards the burning wheel.
