General Wu Yuan was in a trance for a while, and he remembered many past events.
Back then, when General Wu Yuan heard the name Zhou Sen for the first time, the name became the focus of the Han Empire, like a dazzling new star, attracting attention.
The list of gangsters has been soaring.
Kill King Zuoxian.
Kill Yu Wenshi.
Kill Shanyu.
Kill the eunuch and two superpowers.
Rushing thousands of miles to attack the Xiongnu prairie, hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops collapsed.
Under the gaze of thousands of people in the imperial capital, he killed Master Ye Rong, the god-like king of kung fu...
…
These brilliant achievements witnessed the rise of Zhou Sen.
This young man always has a magical power in his body. He can turn the tide in any desperate situation. This time, when the Han Empire was at the end of its rope, it was torn open by the monolithic Crusaders.
Shuiguan, the next wedge, won a glimmer of hope for the Han Empire.
As for the Battle of the Red Bull, it was a stroke of genius. The use of the terrifying Red Bull in the dark forest to charge into battle was simply a classic in the history of war in the Han Empire.
Of course, all his achievements pale in comparison to convincing his former mortal enemy.
How much courage and determination does it take for a person to single-handedly go to the Xiongnu steppe to convince the Shanyu, who has the hatred of killing his father, to fight side by side with the Han Empire...
…
Zhou Sen quietly waited for General Wu Yuan.
Finally, General Wu Yuan spoke.
"Zhou Sen, I am not General Wu Yuan now. I am asking you in my personal capacity, what will happen to you if I don't agree to your conditions?" General Wu Yuan stared at Zhou Sen with his turbid eyes.
"I will try my best." Zhou Sen looked solemn.
"What efforts should be made?" General Wu Yuan asked.
"Try your best to protect the little emperor!" The expression on Zhou Sen's face was extremely determined.
"Haha, I did not misjudge you. Anyway, since you, Zhou Sen, think so highly of me, an old immortal, I, an old immortal, must be aware of current affairs. From today on, everything will be done according to what you said, from this Wuchao
The city is under attack. In short, you can do whatever Zhou Sen says. If anyone dares to chirp, I, Wu Yuan, will not let him go even if he is a ghost!" General Wu Yuan laughed loudly.
"Don't worry, General. I will be measured in my humble position."
"No, no, in troubled times, heavy rules are used. If you want to reorganize an administrative agency, you must make up your mind. If you don't go through catastrophes, you won't achieve your ambitions. Just do whatever you want. Kill what needs to be killed, and check what needs to be checked, even if it involves me, Wu Yuan.
There is no need to give face to the family papers." General Wu Yuan said earnestly: "General Zhou, you have to understand that the Han Empire is hard to recover from. If you want to grow new shoots from dead branches, you must cut through the mess quickly and cut off some of the stubborn diseases of the past now.
, now is the best time!”
"I understand the humble position!"
Zhou Sen was shocked. General Wu Yuan had obviously made up his mind when he said such words.
Originally, Zhou Sen slowly promoted the constitutional monarchy based on the idea of step by step. However, according to what General Wu Yuan said, he obviously did not think so, but accelerated the promotion in a drastic manner.
However, Zhou Sen was immediately relieved.
General Wu Yuan was about to die soon, so he naturally hoped to see the changes in the political system with his own eyes. At least, he was also a promoter of history.
Of course, the most important thing is that General Wu Yuan wanted him to push forward while he was still alive, mainly to help Zhou Sen suppress the deep-rooted big families of the Han Empire. Without General Wu Yuan in charge, Zhou Sen would definitely have to use up some of his hands and feet.
After all, Zhou Sen is only somewhat famous among the people, and has no place to speak above the court.
In addition, because the Crusaders occupied the Han Empire, some of the big families in the Han Empire were at their weakest. At this time, they were too busy taking care of themselves that they had no energy left to resist. After all, the military was now in power, even if they were powerful
The characters are now in a state of limbo and dare not make any changes.
If we wait for the Han Empire to regain its territory before promoting reforms, the intricate forces in both the government and the public will become the biggest obstacle.
The biggest benefit of promoting change now is that because of the war, the power of the military has reached its peak, and the civilian officials who were originally in power have almost no influence...
…
In the secret room, Zhou Sen and General Wu Yuan began to discuss the details.
To promote political change, we need to recruit a group of new people, who have no background and are full of passion. And these new people need to be loyal to the country.
During the discussion, Zhou Sen made some changes to the British monarchy and introduced the separation of powers in the five star regions to ensure a framework of justice, fairness and freedom.
The purpose of decentralization is to avoid the emergence of dictators.
The Han Empire and even local officials combined the three powers of legislation, law enforcement, and justice, which easily led to the abuse of power. Even in modern times, the power to legislate and apply taxes is usually in the parliament that represents the will of the people. The independence of judicial power is to prevent
Abuse of power by law enforcement agencies.
Although Zhou Sen has some understanding of some legal knowledge in the five major star regions, he is not a legal expert. He only proposed a large framework. As for the operations within the framework, it requires professional legal workers from the Han Empire to implement it.
When Zhou Sen proposed the idea of "separation of three powers", General Wu Yuan and God Jingua were shocked. This made Zhou Sen's face burn. This was not something he came up with. He just cloned some of the five star regions.
law……
…
Wuchao City's political reform began to be implemented in a drastic way.
Large numbers of legal workers were summoned to draft a new constitution, and all the rules and regulations were sent to Zhou Sen's office for Zhou Sen to review in person.
The separation of powers quickly took shape.
During the change, we encountered great resistance. Almost all civil and military officials opposed the political change. However, in the face of the iron-fisted methods of General Wu Yuan, any opposition was superfluous.
It was only then that Zhou Sen discovered the horror of General Wu Yuan. In order to force political changes, he killed more than 200 people in just one week. Even the powerful prime minister was killed on the spot.
The city walls are covered with human heads.
General Wu Yuan is not a sick cat. Even though he is now depressed, no one can resist his determination to reform.
In fact, as long as General Wu Yuan tightens his grip on military power, no one can shake his position. If it were in peacetime, General Wu Yuan would not be able to do whatever he wanted, but now, Wuchao City is his world. As for the little emperor, for him
He also obeyed his advice, and all imperial edicts were drafted by him personally.
In the cruel political struggle, the atmosphere in Wuchao City is extremely depressing, and everyone is walking on thin ice.
On the contrary, because a large number of corrupt officials were executed, the morale of the soldiers of the Han Empire was high. On the Xiongnu grasslands where soldiers were training, the sound of killings was loud every day.
Due to the promotion of political reform, the original counterattack plan was postponed for more than three months, and by this time, it was already the twelfth lunar month of winter.
Perhaps due to the cold weather and harsh environment, the Crusaders' military operations also entered a hibernation period.
On the contrary, good news from Zhenshuiguan kept coming.
All the credit for Zhenshuiguan must be attributed to the Tongtian Divine Rat.
Only after Zhou Sen left Zhenshuiguan, the Tongtian Divine Rat put on the armor and stomach, and led the Han soldiers from Zhenshuiguan to fight everywhere, and Yunhai Jin withered became the most effective assistant of the Tongtian Divine Rat.
As long as there is the existence of the king of the sky, Yunhai Jinduo, there will be no black-winged Kunpeng within a hundred miles.
The Babel Rat became the crusaders' nightmare.
No one is the opponent of the Heavenly Rat. His violent and bloody blood and terrifying power make the crusaders flee when they hear the name of the Rat General.
Now, all the crusaders within a hundred miles of Zhenshuiguan have been eliminated by the Heavenly Rat.
The population of Zhenshuiguan has expanded rapidly. Thousands of refugees have been rushing to Zhenshuiguan to escape the war. With Zhenshuiguan as the radiation center, some farmland has also been reclaimed by refugees. The Crusaders’ rangers are no longer there.
Dare to go deep into the scope of Zhenshuiguan.
However, the prosperity of Zhenshuiguan is still an illusion, because Zhenshuiguan does not produce good horses, and there is no iron ore within hundreds of miles of Zhenshuiguan, making it impossible to smelt weapons on a large scale. Although Zhenshuiguan has
It has occupied a large territory, but it is still an isolated city.
In the past three months, the Tongtian Divine Rat has occupied countless towns. However, Zhenshuiguan does not have enough war horses to govern these towns. Except for the towns close to Zhenshuiguan, the surrounding towns are still filled with Crusader Rangers.
In this world, they are on the wasteland, coming and going like the wind like ghosts. No matter how powerful the Sky Rat is, facing this phenomenon, it is just tired of running for its life, and gradually becomes too lazy to care...
…
The news of the alliance between the Xiongnu and the Han Empire has spread to every corner of the Han Empire. All the people of the Han Empire know that Zhenshuiguan is just a wedge in the heart of the Crusaders. What really depends on it is Wuchao City.
Main force.
The infantry of the Crusaders continued to advance into the Han Empire. However, at this time, the Han Empire was already at war.
General Wu Yuan's original strategic thinking was realized at this time.
Although the Han Empire had not yet reached the point where all the people were soldiers, countless heroes who rose up plunged the Crusaders into the ocean of people's war.
Zhenshuiguan and Wuchao City brought a glimmer of hope to the people of the Han Empire.
Of course, there is another reason why the Crusaders are so troubled, and that is people with super powers.
General Gore made a wrong move. He should not have taken action against the god cultivators of the Han Empire before he captured Wuchao City and killed the young emperor.
Countless cultivating sects were razed to the ground or burned to the ground by the iron hoofs of the Crusaders. This made the cultivating sects of the Han Empire unite with the same enemy and launch a desperate counterattack against the Crusaders.
More and more cultivators joined the army. At Zhenshuiguan alone, the number of superpowers charging on the battlefield reached 500. This was unprecedented in the war history of the Han Empire, because,
God cultivators rarely participate in human wars.
Strictly speaking, Zhou Sen was just a trigger. What really caused the people of the Han Empire to rebel was the Crusaders' attempt to destroy the Han orthodoxy, which made the scholar-bureaucrats and some country gentry who had been living in elegance come forward.
Because resistance was like a spark that started a prairie fire, the Crusaders changed their previous image of a civilized army and began a brutal and bloody suppression. In just a few months, several cities were massacred, and millions of soldiers and civilians of the Han Empire were killed or injured. The Crusaders showed their wolfish ambitions.
.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
In the continuous confrontation, countless heroic figures emerged...
…
In some local areas, the Crusaders and the armies of the Han Empire were locked in a stalemate war of attrition. The intensity of the fighting far exceeded that of the early stages of the war.
It was only then that the Crusaders discovered that the Han soldiers were not really vulnerable.
The Han Empire has always been a martial artist. At first, the Crusaders marched in, mainly because of the turmoil within the Han Empire. After the Crusaders showed their ferocious faces, the people of the Han Empire also showed their heroic and passionate side.
We only arrived at Wuchao City from Zhou Sen. Wuchao City seemed to be far away from the war overnight. However, Wuchao City was not at ease. In addition to the political struggle that was fought to the death, the atmosphere of war was also very strong. In addition to collecting materials to prepare for war,
Military training is carried out every day. During the running-in, the Huns cavalry and the Han Empire soldiers have become more and more tacit understanding.
In these three months, Zhou Sen and General Wu Yuan were assassinated several times, and each assassination was followed by a large-scale revenge operation.
There are over a thousand heads hanging on the city wall of Wuchao City. Many of the heads have dried and have sunken eye sockets, making them look particularly ferocious and terrifying.
Under General Wu Yuan's desperate efforts, the constitutional monarchy began to take shape.
The three departments with separate powers also have their own style.
Facing this new thing, the vast majority of people have a repulsive attitude. Even some of General Wu Yuan's confidants are quite critical, because this kind of political reform affects too many people's cheese.
Every day, people would go to General Wu Yuan's residence to lobby, but General Wu Yuan seemed determined. He even personally killed several immediate family members while promoting political reform...
…
Snowing.
The blizzard became more and more intense, and the sky began to freeze. People's noses and cheeks froze even more. The cold air poured into the leather jacket more frequently, and the clothes needed to be wrapped tighter. Sometimes the sled was slipping in the light.
It rolled across the ice because all the snow on the ground was blown away by the wind.
Standing on the city wall, Zhou Sen seemed to feel that there was a strong light shining on the snow-white wilderness. The horizon widened greatly, and the low and dark sky suddenly disappeared. In all directions, only white diagonal lines formed by falling snow could be seen.
In the wilderness, the wind stubbornly blows everything in one direction.
On the right and left, everywhere is white, gray lakes, and the earth is dying over and over again...
…
Zhou Sen stood in the wind and snow, the heavy snow had completely covered him, like a lifeless snowman.
In just three months, Zhou Sen realized the cruelty of politics. Zhou Sen would rather fight on the battlefield than get involved in political struggles.
Zhou Sen originally thought that as long as he and General Wu Yuan worked together to promote the constitutional monarchy, the constitutional monarchy would soon bear fruit. In fact, this was indeed the case. However, in the process, there were killings and conspiracies. Thinking of these, Zhou Sen
I have the urge to vomit.
Now, the structure of separation of powers has basically taken shape, except for a head-of-state figure.
General Wu Yuan strongly recommended Zhou Sen, but Zhou Sen refused verbally. However, Zhou Sen's refusal had little effect, because apart from Wu Yuan and Zhou Sen, no suitable candidate could be found.
In fact, even if there is, General Wu Yuan is not at ease.
After being persuaded by General Wu Yuan, Zhou Sen finally agreed to serve as the temporary prime minister of the Han Empire.
One year!
Zhou Sen's promise to General Wu Yuan was for one year. After one year, Zhou Sen would step down no matter what happened to the Han Empire.
When Zhou Sen leaves office, if nothing else happens, the first democratically elected prime minister will appear on the territory of the Han Empire.
It was said to be one year, but in fact, Zhou Sen knew that as long as the Han Empire entered the counterattack, he would be able to get rid of the heavy eucalyptus slips.
The snow is falling harder and harder, and no other colors can be seen except heavy snow on the wasteland.
At this time, Zhou Sen's entire body was covered in snow.
Zhou Sen shook slightly, and the snow on his body shot up all over the sky, revealing his rock-like stomach.
Zhou Sen's eyes looked into the dark forest.
How are Jiutian Xuannv and the others doing in the prehistoric area?
Thinking of Jiutian Xuannv and the others, suddenly, a ray of light flashed through the air like a meteor. A group of monsters who were standing around shivering from the cold discovered that Zhou Sen, who was standing on the city wall, had disappeared.
The group of demons looked at each other in confusion, but did not dare to leave. They kept walking back and forth, and some even activated their superpowers to keep warm. Suddenly, the demonic aura was strong on the city tower, prompting the cultivators to check and saw that it was Zhou Sen.
After a group of personal guards, the cultivators left.
Zhou Sen arrived at Xinghuo Trading Company.
Boss Xu, Lu Tutu and Hanyu are all here.
Because of the invasion of the Crusaders, the Spark Trading Company, which was once in full swing, also suffered a heavy blow. However, in the intelligence business, the Spark Trading Company was booming because, amid the chaos of war, there was a lot of tracing business.
"Brother Zhou!" Lu Titu suddenly looked surprised when he saw Zhou Sen.
"Tutu is not on duty today?"
"I'm on duty, so I took the time to come out and see my wife." Lu Tunny said with a smile.
"It won't happen again!" Zhou Sen frowned.
"Brother Zhou now..."
"Tutu, from now on, if the three powers are separated, I can't protect you." Zhou Sen said seriously.
"ah……"
"You idiot, why are you still hanging around? Go back quickly. These are extraordinary times. Do you want to dismantle Brother Zhou?" Hanyu grabbed Lu Tunny's ears.
"... Don't talk nonsense, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going... It's so cold and freezing that I can't let anyone live... The Crusaders would not choose this time to attack the city...
" Lu Tutu Didi Gugu complained.
"If I were a Crusader general, I would attack Jiudaoguai Barracks in the next few days." Zhou Sen said calmly.
"ah……"
Lu Tutu's body was shaken, as if being pricked by a needle, she suddenly jumped up, picked up the iron rod and other objects on the corner of the door, and rushed into the vast snow. Immediately, there was a vibration of horse hooves, and gradually disappeared...
…
"Is there any news from Honghuang?" Zhou Sen sat down, took a sip of hot tea, and asked Boss Xu.
"We have placed a heavy reward and obtained a lot of information, but there is no way to tell which information is true and which is false..."
"Just tell me." Zhou Sen nodded.
"I sorted out some mixed information, and there are some pieces of information that are a bit reliable. For example, someone said that there is an area in the Shiwan Mountains in the prehistoric area where an ancient formation was accidentally activated. If
Jiutian Xuannv is really trapped in the prehistoric area, so it should be the ancient formation that was inadvertently activated."
"Continue." Zhou Sen frowned.
"Some people say that there are magical weapons unearthed in the ancient area, which have attracted many masters of cultivating gods to rush there. In addition, some people say that there are cultivators who are about to ascend to immortality and are going through the tribulation in the ancient area. They have arranged formations to protect themselves.
...In short, there is a lot of information about the prehistoric area, and so far, these are the only ones that have been sorted out."
"Do you have a specific address?"
"No, the prehistoric area is too big. Except for the goblins and superpowers living in the prehistoric area, it is difficult for people outside to determine the specific location, but..." Boss Xu hesitated.
"But what about it?"
"A few days ago, a seriously injured cultivator offered a map of the prehistoric zone in exchange for energy stones. He refused because he didn't think too much about it..."
"Where does the god cultivator live?" Zhou Sen stood up in awe.
"General, don't worry. The god cultivator was seriously injured in the Dark Forest. It's freezing cold today, and he is short of money. He must still be stranded in Wuchao City. I will immediately arrange for someone to inquire about it and buy the map.
"
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"It should, it should..."
Boss Xu looked flattered and smiled silly.
Over the years, Boss Xu always felt like he was dreaming. He couldn't believe that he was actually related to the undefeated God of War of the Han Empire.
After Zhou Sen and Hanyu chatted for a while, they stood up and left.
After leaving Xinghuo Trading Company, Zhou Sen flew towards the Dark Forest with his sword at full speed. When he reached the edge of the Dark Forest, he pressed the flying sword and ran all the way to the Longtan in the Black Rock Valley...
