The world has changed, and the nobles of the Yue Kingdom will receive the treatment that belongs to the nobles, but don't think about anything else.
If Yuan Guo doesn't capture a noble, he will take them into custody first, serve him delicious food and drinks, and wait to observe the changes in the situation. If there is any use value, he will keep it. If it is useless, one day he will make the noble disappear and even the bones will be found.
Less than.
If Zhiyao falls ill and her physical condition worsens, none of the captured nobles will be able to stay.
This is the last thing Zhiyao can do for the original country..., or Zhikai, to clear out as many hidden dangers as possible, so as not to leave them as a scourge even though they know they are hidden dangers.
The Vietnamese army was destroyed, and Zhiyao ordered the news to be blocked, creating the illusion that the Vietnamese army was still under siege.
After late winter, the land in the north was covered with a layer of silver, and sections of large rivers were frozen. There were also ice drifting in the coastal waters, but they did not form ice.
After the war, "Langya" did not suffer much damage, but Zhiyao did not stay in the palace built by Gou Jian, and chose to be stationed near a hilltop in the northeast of "Langya".
The low mountain can block the sea breeze. It should be cold, but it is still relatively cold. Zhiyao is a king born on horseback. He will not be as tender as a king who has not experienced wind and frost. However, his identity has changed again and again, especially when the pattern of the Yuan Kingdom sweeping the world has become clear.
, the relevant treatment will definitely become more and more luxurious.
It's not that Zhiyao has too many requirements, it's just that with the changes around her, the people below will think of ways to make Zhiyao's living space more comfortable.
People who know the sufferings of the world will be disillusioned by comfort, let alone those noble people who have been well clothed and well-fed since childhood?
Why not eat minced meat is only caused by the environment in which Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty lived. He really didn't know how people lived outside the palace and how to deal with difficulties. He meant well by asking, but he seemed too ignorant.
.
Is there anything wrong with those who serve the nobles and want to make their lives more comfortable? They are just fulfilling their responsibilities and trying to do their jobs perfectly. What's wrong with that?
In ancient times, spokespersons of various faiths created the sanctity of gods in order to suppress kings and nobles so that they could plunder as much as they wanted.
After the nobles appear, they will also want to make the king more ignorant, so that they can use the rights given by the king to do all kinds of things.
Later, the aristocratic families took over the work of the nobles, and the methods of deceiving and confusing the king began to become systematic.
Until Confucianism took control of the court and its methods evolved to the ultimate level, most kings became blind after that.
King? What Lao Tzu said is very clear: "To accept the filth of the country is to be the master of the country; to be the country to be inauspicious is to be the king of the world." It is very clear. If interpreted in a translation that modern people can understand, it is nothing more than enjoying the status.
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it will all be counted on the head of the monarch.
Zhiyao stood on the mountain blowing the cold wind and looking in the direction of the sea.
No one knew what Zhiyao was looking at or thinking.
"Why didn't anyone suggest that I erect a stone as a monument and then carve words and sentences to show my greatness?" This is what Zhiyao was thinking at this moment.
Where they stood, a great king had once come.
The ministers of this great king were very sensible. When they noticed that the king was interested, they built "civilization pillars" and then carved them to show their martial arts, leaving evidence of their existence.
What is the "Civilization Pillar"? It is a huge and towering building that was built when the civil and martial arts reached a certain peak, when all nations came to the court, contributed materials and attached credentials.
"Pillar of Civilization" is not popular here in Zhuxia, but it was very popular in ancient Rome.
Later, during the Wu Zhou era, when Wu Zetian ascended the throne and changed the Tang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, under the exchange of external civilizations, many subordinate countries contributed a "civilization pillar" to Wu Zetian based on the customs of ancient Rome. This "civilization pillar" was later destroyed by Li Longji.
It is called "Tianshu" recorded in the history books. It is Wu Zetian's memorial pillar. It means "the center of the world" and symbolizes the center of the world. It was built in Luoyang, the sacred capital, by "all the barbarians gathered millions of money". Its full name is "Tianshu, which is praised by all the nations of the Great Zhou Dynasty".
”.
In early 694 AD, Wu Zetian quelled the wars between Tubo, Turks, and Shiwei; in August, under the call of the Persian chief Aluohan and others, "the barbarians gathered millions of billions of dollars" to purchase copper and iron to build the Tianshu, and in
It was cast in April of the following year (695).
The Tianshu is made of copper and iron. It is made like a pillar, one hundred and fifty feet high and twelve feet in diameter. It has eight sides, each with a diameter of five feet. The bottom is an iron mountain with a circumference of one hundred and seventy feet. It is made of copper and is a dragon and unicorn.
Wandering around it; on top is a cloud-bearing dew tray, three feet in diameter, with four dragons erecting sticks and fire beads, one foot high. The worker Mao Boluo made the model, Wu Sansi wrote the text, and engraved the names of hundreds of officials and the chiefs of the four barbarians, and Empress Wu inscribed it herself
Its name is Tianshu, a tribute to the virtues of all the nations of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was destroyed in the second year of Kaiyuan (714) and weighed two million kilograms.
According to unearthed cultural relics, the great chief of Persia, Arokan, was the actual organizer and implementer of the Tianshu project.
Therefore, it is really not a myth. There is relevant evidence at home and abroad, but even if the evidence exists, many people still do not recognize it.
As for why Li Longji destroyed the "Civilization Pillar", maybe he didn't know the meaning of the "Civilization Pillar" representing the loyalty of the conquered?
Maybe Li Longji didn't know it, but he just didn't care about the surrender of other countries and was eager to erase any traces of Wu Zhou?
Zhiyao obviously knew about the existence of the "Civilization Pillar", but he didn't expect to have such a thing for himself.
After all, the "Pillar of Civilization" is not established by oneself, but requires the loyalty of the conquered countries. At this stage, Zhu Xia will not retain the name of its country, Guo Zuo, after the conquest. What they are doing is to eat everything and wipe it clean.

Ancient Rome conquered a certain force without effective rule, but only as a means of restraining the invaders. This did not appear until the Xia Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, and was used to control the countries in the Western Regions. Later, Li and Tang even imitated it and had many restrained invaders.
district.
During the lifetime of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, there were relatively few exchanges between the East and the West, and they only played the "Khan of Heaven" game.
It was not until Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty that Li Zhi had frequent exchanges with Central Asia. After Wu Zetian's turn to the throne, exchanges with Eastern Rome became more frequent. Only then did Zhuxia have the concept of "pillars of civilization".
"The stone carvings on Langyatai seem to be close to five meters high. The carvings are divided into two parts. The first half is engraved with Li Si's "Ode to the First Emperor", and the second part is engraved with the 'Edict of the Second World', right?" Zhiyao said.
I don’t remember that clearly.
There must be many people who have read "Ode to the First Emperor". Just the sentence "Within Liuhe, the emperor's land" is enough to make people feel excited.
But not many people still know that the first half of the inscription also includes the restructuring of the Qin army, that is, "Seven Subjects Relegated" appears in the inscription.
What is that? To put it bluntly, most of the original soldiers came from peasant families. Later, after the First Emperor revised the military system, those who were not straight in the jail were considered to be the deceased, the son-in-law, and those with city registration.
Those whose (grandparents) or parents had city registration were sent to expeditions or to guard the border.
Historians believe that the demise of the Qin State is related to the reform of the military system. They believe that after the peasants basically returned home, those newly recruited for military service had poor combat skills and weak willpower, and would be completely defeated when encountering a strong army. This is why the Qin State was in
The reason why the army's combat effectiveness was so strong when it swept across the world, but so weak after it unified the world, was discovered.
They even believed that the disappearance of Qin's million-strong army and the "Seven Subjects' Relegation" were explained by the First Emperor's failure to give the soldiers the rewards they deserved, which led to the Qin people being unwilling to rally to resist until the fall of Qin. Later, Liu Bang picked up again
Shang Yang established a military merit reward system, and the people in Qin's old lands regained their fighting enthusiasm and conquered the world for Liu Bang.
Zhiyao withdrew his gaze from the direction of the sea, looked at Sima Ranju and said, "This battle needs to leave traces."
Sima Ranju didn't quite understand what Zhiyao meant.
Zhiyao looked at the land under his feet and said, "It's convenient to erect a monument here."
Zhiyao actually had no idea of what he wanted to write. He just needed to put forward an opinion, and someone would brainstorm to conceive and improve it later.
Sima Ranju thought to himself: "Is this because the king wants to show off his martial arts?"
If the main force of the Vietnamese army is destroyed, the country of Vietnam will definitely fall.
In view of the fact that a hundred thousand troops marched into the Yue State, it was the Yuan State that destroyed the main force of the Yue State, and it was the Chu State that destroyed the Yue State. This is a little bit weird.
To outsiders, Zhiyao must be extremely unhappy, so it would be normal for her to do something.
Sima Ranju called his subordinates from behind and said, "This battle requires writing. Let's think about how to record the destruction of the Yue army by Yin Shi."
The subordinates asked: "Is there any record of the battle between the king and the king of Yue?"
Sima Ranju was in a bit of a dilemma.
Yes, do you remember it?
There is a record from the Taishi who accompanied him. It is recorded that Zhiying killed the Yue King Gou Jian in front of the formation.
What they want to do is not to write a text into the history books, but to erect a monument that will definitely become a part of history, and record the battle of Zhiyao and Goujian. Wouldn't it cause conflicts in the historical data?
Today's people, from kings to common people, still have a great respect for history, unlike some people in later eras who were indifferent.
Sima Ranju hesitated for a moment and decided to ask Zhiyao for instructions first and then give his subordinates an answer.
"When will I fight against the King of Yue?" Zhiyao came from a later generation. In fact, his attitude towards history is different from that of today's people. It's just that pride does not allow for fake achievements.
Sima Rangju felt even more difficult when he heard this.
Zhiyao knew what Sima Ranju was in trouble for and said, "Don't remember Gou Jian's life or death."
As for Spring and Autumn's calligraphy, you can play with words and jot down some things, and no matter how big a thing is, it can turn into a trivial matter that doesn't seem to be that great.
Although they all grew up in the Spring and Autumn Period, the problem is that Confucianism is not a prominent school, and they are not skilled in playing the taboo for the venerable, but they still have the basic concepts.
After receiving the answer, Sima Ranju directly told his subordinates that they did not need to record Gou Jian's life and death, but only recorded the battle process truthfully.
Half a month later, a huge stone stood on the top of a mountain facing the sea on three sides. It was not a monument, it was just a huge stone. The battle process of the Battle from the East was faithfully engraved on the stone wall.
The stone is really big, about four meters high, seven meters long, and five meters wide. Even if there is a rammed earth platform to increase the height, it will be difficult to move if it is not maintained. Over time, it will be covered by plants, and it will be difficult to move.
It will definitely be buried under the soil in a hundred and eighty years.
That's true.
After all, in ancient times, palace cities that were several miles long and wide were buried under the soil. It took accidental excavation to discover the foundations. Knowing that there used to be a majestic palace city in a certain place, it was just a huge stone on the mountain. How could it not be lost?
Winter has passed and it is time for spring to bloom.
Zhiyao led a legion into Lu Di.
Sima Ranju took the remaining troops to the mainland of Yue.
According to intelligence, the Chu army did not stop fighting in the winter. They had captured all the Yue cities south of the river and stopped on the south bank of the river without moving north.
That is to say, the kings and ministers of the Chu State at least remained sober. They only occupied the Yue and Wu territories and gave up the occupation of the old lands of Xu, Zhongli, Zhongwu, Huaiyi and other countries.
The destruction time of the above-mentioned countries did not exceed a hundred years, and some did not even exceed thirty years. Without exception, they were destroyed by the State of Wu.
The Chu State did not touch the land north of the river, it must not be because they wanted to leave some room.
All the food has been snatched away, what room is there left?
The fundamental reason is that although the terrain has many water systems, it is too flat. Even if the Chu State takes it, it will not be able to hold on under the direction of the original army's front, and it will even lose its troops in vain.
Before the Yuan Kingdom launched the War to the East, the Chu State had been frantically expanding to the south. There are various signs that the Chu State transported a lot of supplies across the river to the occupied Yangyue area. There was intelligence that the Chu State also built a city there.
This behavior of the Chu State can be regarded as seeking a retreat. Once it was unable to withstand the enemy's attack, it intended to use the natural dangers of the river as a natural barrier to gain a chance to survive.
For this reason, Chu State was not only vigorously operating the land captured from Yang Yue, including building cities and reclamation, but also building a shipbuilding base.
Zhiyao really wanted to see Chu State operating south of the river, just because the area there currently maintains an almost primitive appearance.
If the Chu State thought that a big river could stop the original army from going south, they really thought too much.
Not to mention that Wudi has been developed and can serve as a bridgehead for the original army on the south bank of the river. The scale of the original navy will only become larger and larger. If you can go out to the sea from the river, you can enter the river from the sea.
Pointed-bottomed boats cannot navigate inland rivers? The original army captured hundreds of Yue Navy warships at Donglai Station, and stepped up efforts to build a batch of inland river flat-bottomed boats. It would take about a year at most, and it was not considered a delay at all.
Too long.
The place where Zhiyao leads his army is the Song Dynasty, and he will personally preside over the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty.
With the addition of a legion that came from the east to fight against the Song Dynasty, the original country's war of annihilation against the Song Dynasty would reach the strength of five legions. Needless to say, Sima Ranju still had two legions that could participate in the war at any time.
It won't take long for Sima Ranju's troops to conquer the Yue territory north of the river. The problem is not the Yue garrison there.
The Yue State's garrison there had long been wiped out by the Wu people who had risen up. The obstacle for the original army to capture those lands and implement their rule became the Wu people's armed forces.
The original army will march as a way to avenge the Wu State, but it is difficult to say how much it can offset the hostility of the Wu people.
Given the character of the Wu people, they don’t even respect their own king very much. It is far more difficult than imagined to make them obey the new conqueror!
