Killing all the way and cutting through the mess quickly is the simplest thing. Every time you go to a city or a place, you only need to take down all the high-level officials, and then the Taoist officials will visit the people. Right and wrong, good and evil will be almost clear.
Even if a few fish slip through the net, it doesn't hurt.
But now, it is too much trouble.
Therefore, it was not until February of the ninth year of Yingtian that the rewards for the three states were finally decided.
Regarding the officials of the old Cang, Daxin adopted the policy that if it was just a small crime of corruption and bribery, they would not be punished, but if they involved human lives, they would be killed without mercy.
Such a mass killing undoubtedly created a lot of chaos, but it also calmed the hearts of many people and gained a lot of public support.
In addition, a very small number of virtuous and capable officials who do not conform to the corrupt practices have also been given the opportunity to be absorbed into the system for further studies.
As Daxin is becoming larger and larger, the requirements for officials are getting higher and higher. If you want to enter the training sequence, you must be clean within three generations. If there is any stain, you will lose the opportunity.
.
Therefore, opportunities like this now are naturally extremely precious.
When the three states were settled, the strength of the new country also climbed to another peak. As for Zhao Cheng, although he never made a separate sacrifice to heaven later, his own cultivation level continued to rise with the expansion of the territory.
The Tao Fruit is constantly transforming towards the complete Da Luo.
Even if he offers sacrifices to heaven and earth, he will achieve great success in an instant.
But at this time, Zhao Cheng was no longer in a hurry.
On the one hand, he is aware of the changes in the three realms of heaven, earth, and humans. His approach is to use humans to mend the sky and refine the earth. But there is a problem today. The achievements of the heavenly realm are improving too fast, which is not a good thing.
On the other hand, the human heart and the earth are also closely related. Now that he has just acquired these territories, his way has not yet penetrated deeply into the people's hearts, and the thoughts in the people's hearts are not strong enough.
Even if he sacrificed to heaven at this moment, it would be difficult to activate the deepest power of the earth, so he did not take it.
His idea is to first raise humanity to its peak, to reach a state closest to the unity of all living beings, and then sacrifice it in one fell swoop, so as to maximize the resonance of China. At that time, he may be able to use this to refine his own demonic nature.
, get rid of the devil in one fell swoop.
…
In March of the ninth year of Yingtian, Zhao Cheng finally came to Zhongzhou.
On the map, Zhongzhou is not the center of China in terms of area, but if you look at the direction of the mountains and rivers based on Feng Shui, you can see that this place is the core of China, where all the changes in energy converge.
center.
Zhongzhou and Yangzhou are adjacent to each other, with Beiyuan to the north and Dongji to the east. There are three large rivers running through Zhongzhou, making water transportation extremely convenient.
As for Xiliang, the last of the twelve states in the world, it is separated from Zhongzhou and separated by Youzhou. However, Xiliang is close to the Southern Wasteland and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The imperial court's control over Xiliang is very weak.
There was also little contact with them, and even after the three states had surrendered, the local forces in Xiliang were still hesitating.
But almost at the same time, Liu Guangzheng took hundreds of large ships and some key personnel, and went directly down the river and across the ocean under the guise of going to Dongji Prefecture for refuge.
Liu Guangzheng left without hesitation, without any last resort of resistance, such as the emperor guarding the country and the king dying.
Indeed, some people in the DPRK saw this and had the idea of sacrifice themselves for the country.
This kind of thing has happened in all dynasties.
Even in history, there have been cases where ministers, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and the young emperor directly sacrificed their lives for the country.
But unexpectedly, Liu Guangzheng didn't give them a chance at all, and ran away without hesitation under the pretext of taking refuge.
In response to this, some people were dull, some were numb, some were in pain, and some even cursed, but these had nothing to do with Liu Guangzheng.
He only took with him the people he selected with his own superpowers who were loyal to himself rather than to the court. He brought a total of about 70,000 people, as well as a large amount of grain and various seeds, and planned to enclose land overseas for him.
King, live a happy life for a while.
As for the hatred between the country and the family, to be honest, it is not that profound for a time traveler like him.
In May of the ninth year of Yingtian, the gate of Shendu opened towards Zhao Cheng.
Without spending a single soldier, this Xiongcheng, which had troubled Huang Tiandao for a long time, and even caused Huang Tiandao's situation to take a turn for the worse, ushered in its new owner.
If Liu Guangzheng didn't run away, relying on Zhongzhou's several great passes and the danger of the divine capital, it wouldn't be a problem to resist Zhao Cheng for more than half a year.
Even if the operation is good and people from other states, and even the three states that have surrendered Zhao Cheng, can rebel at a critical moment and cut off Zhao Cheng's supplies and escape route, Da Cang will not have no chance at all.
An army of three million people will fall apart in an instant once their supplies are cut off.
However, the probability of achieving this is really low.
Of course, similar things have happened in history, and it is not even the case that they have never happened before. The imperial city was destroyed, and even the emperor was captured by the enemy. In the end, the prince had to ascend the throne elsewhere and finally regain the throne.
But Liu Guangzheng did not have such illusions.
The main reason is that Zhao Cheng's basic base is really too stable, completely different from those anti-kings in the past.
If I think about a desperate counterattack, I'm afraid I'll have to pay for it here.
"The City of Gods..."
When Zhao Cheng led the crowd into the capital of the gods, many people around him had wet eyes.
Among them were Huang Tian's old men. These people had participated in the battle to attack the divine capital, but they failed to defeat it in the end. Huang Tiandao also suffered a direct defeat from then on, and almost became Renren for a time.
A street rat shouting to be beaten.
Except for Huang Tian's old men, Lin Yi, Wang Shouzheng and other people from Zhao Chenglianshan's line, their eyes were also red.
They followed Zhao Cheng to start a business in Lianshan. At that time, none of them were just careless, otherwise they would not work for Zhao Cheng. After all, at that time, Zhao Cheng was just a general banner, with more than 200 people under his command.
The only one, General Feiyun, who had the highest official position in the mountain, was rounded up and killed by Lin Yi without hesitation, and his bones were fed to the wolves in the mountain.
But now, in the blink of an eye, this divine capital, which symbolizes the center of China and the supreme authority, has been trampled under their feet by their horses' hooves.
I remember that it was difficult to start a business in the beginning, but now, it is all over the place.
Although this journey has only lasted ten years, the hardships and hardships involved are hard to describe in words.
Even though they won consecutive victories along the way, there were definitely not a few casualties along the way.
…
In May of the ninth year of Yingtian, the three prefectures of Beiyuan, Dongji, and Xiliang presented surrender orders.
Since then, the world has been united.
In November of the ninth year of Yingtian, the officials of Zhongzhou, Beiyuan, Dongji, and Xiliang were replaced, and various rewards were determined and completed. From then on, the world was finally stable.
In January of the tenth year of Yingtian, Zhao Cheng did not offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, but directly awarded meritorious ministers and rewarded them based on their merits.
In the same month, there was a strange phenomenon. Above the sky, the stars and rivers disappeared, and a strange person came to the world.
Almost at the same time, Emperor Yingtian issued an imperial edict, instructing local governments to send strangers to the capital of the gods. If there is any delay, they will be killed without mercy!
…
In the capital of the gods, the weather was misty and rainy, but Zhao Cheng looked at the undissipated visions in the sky, but he clarified the causes and consequences of his time travel, and at the same time, he also thought of some old friends.
After more than ten years, he never expected that they would meet again in this foreign land.
However, one thing is unquestionable, this time we meet again, things will definitely change.
