Zhang Liao also heard about what Liu Bei was doing in Tianzhu, but because Lu State was deep in the south-central hinterland and had poor relations with the surrounding countries, he didn't know as much about Tianzhu as Cao Cao did on Crab Island!
Cao Cao said with admiration: "Master Xuande is still old-hearted. He actually fought hard for 10 years and really built a powerful Han Dynasty in Tianzhu. I admire this very much!"
Zhang Liao also admired and said: "The general is indeed a hero. He really conquered Tianzhu, which has a population of tens of millions. With the general, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty to perish!"
But Cao Cao quickly sighed and said: "Although Xuande is a hero, he doesn't know how to be patient. He has added a lot of trouble to his hegemony for no reason! Do you know what Lei Gong called you to come to Jidu this time?"
Zhang Liao said: "Lei Gong established the United Senate, saying that in the future, disputes from all countries in the world can be resolved in the Senate. Even if they cannot be resolved, certain rules must be put in place to resolve them with force, instead of engaging in large-scale killings as before. . From the perspective of Liao, this is the etiquette that Duke Lei wants to establish in Daqian, just like the Zhou etiquette established by Duke Zhou back then!"
In fact, Ganli has already been tried out in Nanzhong.
Although there are hundreds of countries in the South China Sea, there are not many disputes among these hundreds of countries. After all, each of them is an island, and their population is sparse, so it is very difficult to have disputes!
But the situation in Nanzhong is different. Although there are only three or four small countries here, they occupy a vast area, and they all have borders. In addition, several parties have conflicts, so it is impossible to avoid conflicts. Got it!
Among them, Lu Guo can be said to be the little overlord of Southern China. Lu Bu conquered east and west, and no country in Southern China was his opponent. So several countries in Southern China united to fight against Lu Bu. At the same time, they sent envoys to Jidu from time to time to cry out to Lu Bu. He is so arrogant that he asks the court to make the decision!
And Xu Wei accepted someone as his younger brother, so it was naturally impossible for him to watch his younger brother get into trouble like this.
So he used the methods used by princes in the Spring and Autumn Period to ease conflicts, combined with the methods of modern organizations to prevent wars, and established a set of rules for war between princes and small countries in Nanzhong.
One is the "Daqian Civilized War Decree", which probably means that cities cannot be slaughtered, prisoners cannot be massacred, and the enemy's crops cannot be burned. There are also rules for fighting in each country. It can be said that the "Daqian Civilized War Decree" is completely in accordance with "Sun Tzu's Art of War" It was formulated in the opposite direction, focusing on fairness and justice, and in many places even directly quoted the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period. Because Xu Wei found that the war rules of the Spring and Autumn Period were much more civilized than the war rules of later civilizations.
After all, those so-called lighthouses in later generations were just bandits cloaked in a layer of civilization. They did a lot of abusing prisoners and massacring the people. It can be said that they did not do human affairs.
The second is the "Prisoners of War Act", which probably stipulates that prisoners cannot be mistreated and wounded soldiers must be treated, a bit like the later Geneva Conventions.
Don't think that this is a woman's kindness. If it is a war to unify the hegemony, it will naturally use all possible means. But most of the wars in Nanzhong are conflicts between Lu Bu and the upper echelons of other countries. Just for a small conflict, Beating people to death or even destroying a country or a city is a bit too much.
In fact, the emergence of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" represents the complete destruction of Zhou Li. The princes in the world began to not pay attention to the rules of war, but began to compete offline. In fact, such war rules are not a good thing for the upper class.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, wars were like sports games, a stage for princes and nobles to show off their force. However, during the Warring States Period, the upper echelons of each family were no longer safe. If they were not careful, their families would be destroyed.
The Qian rituals formulated by Da Qian are the international laws that everyone must abide by in the future. Anyone who dares to destroy Qian rituals will be suppressed by Da Qian's army. At this time, Lu Bu obviously does not have the strength.
So the chivalry promoted by the West in later generations was actually because they lacked a first emperor, and they could only use this method to keep their upper class safe. Their so-called chivalry is not as good as our Spring and Autumn Zhou rites, at least the Zhou rites are still preserved The interests of the lower-class soldiers! In terms of popularity, Zhou Li is even more widespread!
Nowadays, the war in Nanzhong looks like something from the Spring and Autumn Period. Generally, General Zhennan will find a way to bridge the conflict between the two sides. If the conflict cannot be resolved, he will ask them to agree on the number of troops and the battlefield. The two sides will fight, and the winner will be The reasonable side.
It was because Zhang Liao had seen so much Gan Li in Nanzhong that he thought that Lei Gong's experiment in Nanzhong had been successful, and he wanted to extend Gan Li to the entire Daqian sphere of influence!
Cao Cao said regretfully: "This is not wrong! The territory of Daqian is too wide, and it is difficult for a unified system to rule such a huge country, so Lei Gong had to entrust his heroes to guard Nanhai, Nanzhong and the New World. , and he also needs a set of Gan rituals to unify the power of the entire Da Gan!"
"But Lei Gong's Senate would not have been opened so early. The areas in the South China Sea have not yet fully grown, and the New World has just been developed. Now many areas are less like countries than small towns! It's a pity that Xuande became emperor and Lei Gong couldn't. We won’t open the Senate in advance!”
Zhang Liao was surprised and said: "What does this have to do with the general!"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "Of course it does matter. This is just like the Western Zhou Dynasty. Duke Zhou has established Zhou Li to rule all the countries in the world, but Wu Geng wants to rebel and establish the Yin Shang Dynasty. Do you think Duke Zhou wants to destroy Wu Geng?"
Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and said: "The general is different, he built Dahan again in Tianzhu! This has nothing to do with Daqian!"
Cao Cao said helplessly: "Lei Gong may not care about establishing the Han Dynasty. After all, I even sat on the dragon chariot, but it is difficult for Lei Gong to accept Xuande becoming emperor. If Lei Gong doesn't care about it, will the Nanhai and Nanzhong kingdoms follow Xuande or will they?" Follow Lei Gong? Xuande becoming emperor means that he still wants to compete with Lei Gong for the position of boss, which makes Lei Gong have to destroy the country Xuande established in Tianzhu!"
"If what I predict is correct, you will not just hold a meeting this time and disperse like this. Lei Gong will definitely scare the monkeys and let the world see the consequences of challenging Da Gan, so maybe Lei Gong will invite you to the Western Regions , let’s see how Da Qian teaches Xuande a lesson! Now that Thunder God has taken action, I’m afraid that Xuande will be in trouble!”
After Zhang Liao heard what Cao Cao said, the more he thought about it, the more he realized it made sense. After all, the population of these small countries was less than one million. Even if one of them became emperor, Lei Gong would probably treat it as a joke and send envoys to reprimand him.
However, Tianzhu, where the general is located, has a population of over ten million and is the second largest country in the world. Moreover, Tianzhu is not as rich as a wild land like Nanzhong. Such a country can naturally challenge Daqian's status.
