Chapter 1253, The Situation of the Suzaku Kingdom (2)
Of course, a few short sentences do not represent everything. From the experience of the first Suzaku Emperor, it is not difficult to see that this man is probably a versatile man in both civil and military affairs and good at management.
Otherwise, the leader of the 0 army is judged to be stupid. Is the woman he snatched good? How could he trust her for no reason to the extent of giving birth to three children in a row without telling her that he was still sick?
You don't care what methods others use, it's absolutely irrelevant that people are capable.
However, it was precisely because the initial source of power in her hands was somewhat unjustified, and these were veteran-level heroes, so after she became emperor, she was not at ease with these people.
It's not just about being uneasy, but also being on guard.
But at that time, the country was not completely settled, and the borders needed to be guarded by generals. No matter how worried the first Suzaku Emperor was, he could only let those people stay on their side.
When the first Suzaku Emperor grew old, her worries came true, and several border armies raised troops at the same time and pressed toward the capital.
Thinking of this, Yuchi had to complain that if it were him, he would do the same thing.
Those veteran generals were not loyal to the first Suzaku Emperor, they were loyal to the leader of the Penalty Army.
It is your true ability to become the emperor. Besides, your three sons are all the sons of the leaders of the 0 army. In the future, the throne will still have to be passed to them?
Therefore, the veteran generals did not make any fuss. Even when the first Suzaku Emperor wanted to proclaim himself emperor, these veteran generals were the first to stand up and agree.
But in the end, the person you wanted to pass on to the throne turned out to be the daughter you had with your male concubine!!!
They have been willingly stationed at the bitter cold border for decades, not for anyone other than the leader's son.
In that battle, both sides suffered heavy losses. On the Suzaku Emperor's side, only the daughter she wanted to pass on to the throne died. The three or three descendants of the veteran general who wanted to be loyal were all gone. The Suzaku Kingdom was almost established.
Soon the country was destroyed.
As long as there is still the Suzaku Kingdom today, we know that in the end the first Suzaku Emperor won.
But she was also afraid. Soldiers should never be held in the hands of others.
So, before his death, the man left two wills to his heirs.
The first one is about the issue of heirs, that is, whoever gives birth to children now belongs to me.
The second question is about the ownership of the border garrison. The military talisman is divided into two halves, one half is in the hands of the general guarding the border, and the other half is in the hands of the royal family.
As time went by, the implementation of the second will gradually changed. Because of the first will, there were gradually more princes and princesses, and then there were more princes and more prefectures. In short,
The royal family members are getting richer and richer.
The more princes and daughters there are, the more serious the struggle for power becomes.
The Suzaku Kingdom also has a vast territory, and there are many border crossings that require soldiers to be stationed. It is more difficult to defend than the Qilin Kingdom. At least half of the Qilin Kingdom's borders are dangerous places such as mountains and cliffs, but many places in the Suzaku Kingdom are large plains or
It is a rocky cluster that is not very high.
So the third Suzaku Emperor cleverly changed the decree of the first Suzaku Emperor. The border commanders were all made up of princes and princesses, so that they could be separated and not get too close to fight each other. At the same time, they could also gain experience.
They also make it easier for her to see everyone's strength clearly.
The starting point is good, but the problem is... the problems here are gone, right?!
Anyone who knows how to manage can see how serious the disadvantages are.
The other person didn't know whether she really didn't understand it or whether she understood it but didn't want to understand it. Maybe it wouldn't affect her anyway.
All the systems created by this man are based on the power of royal protection.
Let’s talk about the issue of whether the border guards are princes and princesses:
She also formulated many other additional systems. For example, the princes and princesses were all crowned kings after the birth of the new Suzaku Emperor. The new princes and princesses were the heirs of the new emperor and these princes.
In order to prevent the military power from being sidelined and detrimental to the imperial power, the generals of the border army could only be princes and princesses.
But, on the surface, this may indeed reduce the risk of losing military power, but don't forget that among the new princes and princesses, there are also children of the former generals.
You have a brain, and so do others. There is so much room for manipulation, not to mention how many generations it will be effective, or even two generations.
This is the root cause of all the troubles in the Suzaku Kingdom now.
The imperial power only looks concentrated. In fact, it has already been divided into pieces. You guard my side of the world, and he guards his side. The only troops that the Suzaku Emperor can really mobilize are in the pitiful area close to the capital.
million.
The number seems to be quite large, but the Suzaku National Newspaper has 9.6 million troops outside.
In addition to the disunity of military power, the disunity of military power also brings about many other problems. For example, if the military power is not unified, the political power will naturally not be unified.
The Suzaku Emperor is not only unable to mobilize troops in distant places, but she can't even control places further away.
This is exactly why Mang Tong dared to do this.
After thinking about this, Yuchi and Gongsun looked at each other, their eyes full of calculations.
It's good that the imperial power of the Suzaku Kingdom is not unified.
but···
The two of them thought of the Dragon God Cult, a specialty of the Suzaku Kingdom.
The imperial power of the Suzaku Kingdom cannot spread all over the country, but the Dragon God Sect is blooming everywhere. From this point of view, the Dragon God Sect seems to be even more terrifying.
So worried, the two of them asked the same question.
Qi Baoer glanced at them and then withdrew his gaze, fearing that he would become stupid if he looked at them a few more times.
Fortunately, she hadn't forgotten that she was the leader of these two people, so she still comforted them responsibly, although it didn't seem to have any effect.
"No matter how much internal fighting there is in the Suzaku Kingdom, it will just be a fight between brothers and sisters. If a foreign enemy really comes to invade, just look at it."
Why is it that the situation within the Suzaku Kingdom is already such a mess that seems to be disintegrating in minutes, but it is still one of the five major countries.
It's not because it has a large territory, or because other countries don't peep, but because chaos returns to chaos, but the royal family of the Suzaku Kingdom has never really wanted to become independent and become the emperor.
They are not stupid, okay? Once a big country becomes a small country, what they have to face is not fighting with their own brothers and sisters, but the other four big countries coming to bite each other.
It is true that the land of Suzaku Country is not suitable for planting, but Suzaku Country is rich in minerals, whether it is gold, silver or iron, which country wouldn't want them?
"As for the Dragon God Cult..." Qi Bao'er paused and gave a meaningful look, "Do you think those people in the Suzaku Kingdom are all fools?"
The Dragon God Sect can develop and develop to such a large scale today, and it is absolutely inseparable from the support from above.
No matter what the purpose of those people is, they will only support it if it is beneficial to them.
You can say that the royal family of the Suzaku Kingdom treats the people as nothing, but you can never say that the Dragon God Sect has overridden the imperial power.
Eunuch Lin heard and saw clearly, but as a eunuch, he felt that he was of low status and did not dare to express his thoughts. He only dared to whisper in a cryptic voice: "Once the common people cannot afford to eat, they really only expect the imperial court at the beginning.
But once the imperial court cannot support them, they will have no choice but to rob them in order to survive."
Yuchi and Gongsun didn't know what they thought of, and they both gasped in horror.
