"Beyond the Great Wall, within the Congling Ridge, is the land that must be conquered. It is the same land as China, but it can still be divided..." Liu Che said slowly.??
After hearing this, the ministers immediately understood that the emperor was picking up the ancient five-service system.
What five servers?
Mandarin says: The system of the former kings, the uniforms of Dian in the state, the uniforms of the princes outside the country, the uniforms of the marquis and guards, the uniforms of barbarians, and the uniforms of Rongdihuang. Sun sacrifices, monthly sacrifices, seasonal enjoyments, yearly tributes, the final king, are the instructions of the previous kings.
It means dividing the world into five worlds from near to far.
These five worlds, closely surrounding the emperor, jointly constitute the world and share different responsibilities.
Among them, "Dian", "Waiting", and "Bin" are actual controls, while "Yao" and "Huang" are fetters.
This is the prototype of the oldest tribute system.
This is also the origin of why China is called China.
China, the central empire, the heaven of stars and the moon, the core of the world, the focus of everything, is the celestial dynasty, the kingdom of heaven, and the great core that rules everything, manages everything, and defines everything.
Everyone must revolve around China.
China’s system is the world’s system.
China’s morality is the world’s morality.
Not convinced? Come and do it!
In the ancient barbaric era, countless people refused to accept it, and then they were educated to accept it.
The Rule of Three Generations, to put it bluntly, is the history of three generations of ancestors educating those who were dissatisfied around them.
The Xia Dynasty was too long ago to be traced back.
However, the history of the Shang Dynasty lasted only a thousand years, and it still left many historical materials and even relics to prove how they maintained the authority of the Central Empire.
For example, King Zhou of Shang once conquered Guifang and Dongyi in the south.
For example, the Guzhu Kingdom once acted as an agent for the emperor to suppress the grasslands.
A large number of relics from the Shang Dynasty were unearthed around the Rao Le River between Xianbei and Wuheng, proving that the Guzhu Kingdom was once there, killing decisively and ruling the world.
When you arrive at Zongzhou, if you look through the Book of Songs, you can see how the Zhou Dynasty maintained the central empire.
Time flies, after the collapse of Zongzhou, it was the Han Empire's turn to pick up the five-server system again, rebuild the Central Empire, and the Celestial Empire came to power.
Back then, three generations of ancestors divided the known world into five servers.
Now, Liu Che is following the script.
However, the known world has expanded countless times.
The Chinese perspective is no longer limited to East Asia.
Instead, it has crossed the Congling Mountains and reached Central Asia, South Asia and even West Asia.
The outline of the entire Asia has begun to appear before the eyes of people all over the world.
The world is so vast.
So much so, that if I only relied on one pair of feet to walk, it would probably take me three years to reach the end.
So much so that even the most optimistic nobles of the Han family do not think that the empire can really conquer and rule such a vast world.
But Liu Che believed that the Chinese people and the Xia nationalities could do it.
Aside from other things, when the Xiahou family first established the five-server system, Xia Zi could know the world two thousand years later. The entire five-server system he defined had become the land of China, and even the current territory of China was far larger.
For the five servers he defined?
However, three generations of ancestors passed the baptism of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Today, China has indeed accomplished things that the previous kings could not even imagine.
Yao's seal and Shun's land have already become a reality.
The mainland of Kyushu is unbreakable. Even after two thousand years of baptism, it remains the same until later generations.
But now, Liu Che is paying tribute to the former king, re-dividing the five servers, and redefining the five servers.
and……
"Although the world is big, it is not as big as the shortening of distances brought about by technological progress..." Liu Che looked at the map and murmured to himself.
Perhaps today's China, even after conquering Congling and establishing colonies and kingdoms there, is unable to effectively control them and can only let them go their own way.
But what about the future?
When the train started running, but the steamer started roaring with black smoke, when the radio wave sent out the first signal.
All geography and geopolitics will be rewritten.
From then on, thousands of miles became a smooth road.
Even if they are tens of thousands of miles apart, it only takes a few minutes to send a telegram from Chang'an to West Asia.
If there are airplanes and high-speed rail, it will be different.
Officials in Chang'an can leave Chang'an in the morning and arrive in Central Asia at night to handle local government affairs.
Therefore, Liu Che is very confident that a thousand years later, today's five servers will once again become the China of that time.
As long as the local people begin to recite the articles of Confucius, Mozi, Han Feizi, Yin Wenzi, and Laozi, as long as the local people wear Chinese clothes with left lapels, bow before bowing, and then say goodbye.
Then, in the future, the strong cohesion and centripetal force of Zhuxia culture itself will automatically assimilate them.
But if you want to do all this, you must delegate authority.
Delegate power to heroes who have the ability, skill and perseverance to do these things.
Otherwise, it's all your old Liu's family's business.
If you get results, that's it. If you mess up, that's it.
Why should others work so hard for you, Mrs. Liu?
Maybe there are such people, but not many.
Why were later Western colonists so awesome?
Isn’t it just that the distribution of benefits under the colonial system is better?
Just like the East India Company, when they made money, they put it directly into their own pockets.
However, Liu Che felt that the East India Company was simply too weak compared to China's ancient enfeoffment system.
The East India Company could not last long.
There is no clear territory or definition.
However, China's feudal system directly distributed the land and the people on the land to the nobles.
Then, these nobles overcame obstacles and actively developed.
Soon the entire fifth server was transformed into China.
For example, in the Chu State, Xiong Yi was just a viscount of the Zhou Dynasty.
The initial fiefdom was only a hundred miles of land, and it was even surrounded by enemies.
But in just a few hundred years, the late kings of the Chu Kingdom made great efforts to open up the barbarians and established a powerful Chu Kingdom. By the time of King Wu of Chu, he already dared to bargain with the Emperor of Zhou.
And among the concubines of Hanyang, which one is not from Zong Zhou’s clan, but is related to the emperor?
However, they came to the then barbaric areas of Hanyang and Huaisi, led the people, spread the fire of civilization, and established a prosperous kingdom. The country of Suihou was even extremely powerful for a time.
There were also the ancestors of the Qin State who snatched the land and population from the Quanrong with swords and spears. By the time of Qin Mugong, they had basically recovered Zongzhou's homeland.
And these spirits still exist in China today.
It's just that no one is freeing them.
What Liu Che has to do now is to release them.
Looking at the ministers, Liu Che slowly said: "In the place where I want to conquer, I will entrust the princes. There will be hundreds of princes and kings. As for their feudal countries..." Liu Che smiled slightly and said: "With the number of households in the city.
Three times the amount..."
The world is really too big!
Even the world within Congling is extremely huge.
Except for the uninhabitable desert Gobi, there is a vast world stretching tens of thousands of miles, including grasslands, mountains, lakes, plains, and even hilly areas.
Even if Liu Che gave the princes and princes three times the number of households and households, he would not be able to divide such a large world at all.
But it doesn't matter, let's first occupy those places with superior locations and suitable for human habitation.
Of course, in this process, these princes, kings and princes will face various challenges.
For example, what if that place turns out to have an owner?
Whether to kill all the indigenous people, expel them, or turn them into Chinese, Liu Che would not care about these things, and he was too lazy to care.
No matter what means they use, they can just turn the place into their own fiefdom.
Of course, the Han army will become their strong backing and assistance.
In addition, the climate and conditions in different places are different, so how to develop and consolidate them is also their business.
Liu Che was not in the mood to teach them step by step.
I can’t teach you even if you want to!
As for, what if they fail?
Find someone else!
It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but why can't you still find a two-legged feudal noble?
Liu Che doesn’t believe this evil anymore!
"To submit to the feudal state, we should follow the Chinese story and practice Han law..." Liu Che added: "However, since the foundation has been established at the beginning, there are many obstacles. In order to compensate, I will pardon all countries for a hundred years, and they will not use China for fifty years.
Stories, Chinese laws and laws..."
This is to copy the wisdom of later generations.
However, it is different from later generations.
Liu Che and the current Han Dynasty will never tolerate adultery.
If someone wants to cause division, then try to see if the Han army's sword is not sharp enough?
Moreover, China now does not need to worry about similar things happening.
The reason is very simple. You Chinese don’t want to be a beast that walks on two legs?
are you crazy?
In ancient times, the centripetal force and cohesion of the Xia people toward their own culture and nation were unimaginable to outsiders. (To be continued.) 8
