After spending three days, Wu Hui and Ren Yin found out the basic settings of this world.
The current ruling class of this world is the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was obviously the end of the year, and many military leaders were popping up in various places, trying to separate themselves.
The degree of fidelity is relatively high, and NPCs can answer most common questions. But if you ask too much details, you will get stuck. Obviously, with the characters of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, it is impossible to compete with Wu Hui and others in the real world. This is just a virtual thing.
Wu Hui is still curious about what kind of setting Zhuge Liang and the others have, and what does the military talisman mean to these people?
In other words, are they really Zhuge Liang or Liu Bei in history?
But these don't seem to be too important.
The political system and military system of the Zhou Dynasty were relatively close to those of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but of course they were not exactly the same.
At the same time, as in the last years of most dynasties, disasters were occurring everywhere. But in fact, this has little to do with destiny. Except for some periodic climate disasters, it is more due to the decay of the political system, which makes it impossible for various places to eliminate disasters from the beginning or provide reasonable relief.
Whether a regime dies depends on three main directions. The first is whether he still has control over the grassroots. The second is whether he still has the right to command the army and whether the army still has combat effectiveness. The third is whether his economic system still exists, whether he can collect taxes and have money to spend.
Usually if one collapses, it will bring the other two with it. At this time, foreign wars, plundering or reforms can be used to delay the collapse. If all three collapsed, there would be no hope.
The basic control strength is the people's support, the population that recruits soldiers and collects taxes, and the basic bureaucracy. The command authority and combat effectiveness of the army are the shields that protect the other two. The economic system supports both sources.
In the current Great Zhou Dynasty, the latter two have basically collapsed, and there is still a little bit left in the first. Basically it can be said to be hopeless. Even if there are still some successors like Liu Xiu and Liu Bei, they will start from scratch, not the same as the previous one.
Although the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties, the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, and the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties are also considered two dynasties, the relationship between them is actually relatively obvious. The relationship between the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties and the previous dynasty was only nominal.
"Let's go northwest." Wu Hui decided after figuring out the general geographical location. To conquer the world, you must find a way to occupy the corner, and the south of the Zhou Dynasty has not yet been developed, so the north is definitely better than the south. The northwest and the northeast have their own advantages and disadvantages, but Wu Hui and the others are closer to the northwest. So choose the northwest.
The central plains are rich and fertile, but the border areas are bitter and cold. But the bitter cold land is an area where the decayed old bureaucracy is weak, so it is possible to develop a strong army and plan a new system.
But now, there are already many warlords in the northwest region, and they are engaged in melee.
Therefore, it is more difficult for Wu Hui to get chestnuts from the fire.
Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Wu Hui's start was similar, except that they were in the east, so they wanted to occupy the northeast corner as much as possible.
Everyone starts from scratch, and the first pot of gold is more troublesome. There are three options. One is to join the army and then develop in the army. Jiuzhan Magpie Nest inherits the basic base of the original warlord. The second one is to become a bandit and start off by robbing people. The third is to solicit sponsorship.
The first one is slower and not easy, but the second one is faster, but will cause great losses in the future. Well, the third one...it's best if you can get sponsorship, but how can outsiders like them rely on getting sponsorship?
Zhuge Liang is really good. It took him a month of work to successfully get Liu Bei to marry the daughter of a local powerful man, and used the other party's funding to start raising a team, not many, about two hundred people. But it can be considered an official start.
Wu Hui and the others chose to join a small warlord, and then spent two months becoming his deputies, successfully sidelining the small warlord and helping him reorganize and expand. Just wait for an opportunity to sacrifice the boss to heaven, and then you can take over the entire territory and army.
Neither side currently has any good flags to show, and independence is unrealistic. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang mainly planned to form a group similar to a mercenary group first, and then get a few names such as prefects before the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty, and legitimately occupy the territory.
On Wu Hui's side, they first used the name of this warlord to get out. Then wait until the locals recognize the group's rule before replacing them.
Liu Bei's side belongs to his old route. Some people complained that Liu Bei always changed bosses and betrayed his master. But in fact, Liu Bei was a mercenary partner at the time. After finishing the work, it was considered betraying the master and everyone had to praise him for his integrity. business.
Only the last time this mercenary group did not work seriously for Liu Zhang and lowered their bottom line and carried out sneak attacks, they succeeded in gaining territory.
If Liu Bei really wanted to be a moral model his whole life, he would have no chance of succeeding.
Of course, this time Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang early on. As long as he can occupy an area, his development will not be slow, and others will not have to become bigger and stronger before he finally has a piece of territory.
First mover advantage is important. It’s useless when everyone else is dominating the world and you’ve just started.
"Honey, I'm back." Lu Meng brought a group of soldiers she trained. When they returned from fighting outside, they didn't take a shower. They hugged Wu Hui and kissed him first.
Wu Hui was now dressed in white, dressed like a scholar. He and Ren Yin are handling government affairs and deploying the army.
At this time, it was already one year after the competition with Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei began. Wu Hui snowballed in the northwest, completely eclipsing the warlords above him. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also successfully gained fame and developed in the northeast.
The Central Plains was in chaos, and a prince in the south rebelled.
Now that it has become a trend, it is time to choose a political platform. Which class should we stand on and whose interests should we represent? Only by choosing this will you be able to distinguish between your opponents and your teammates. At the same time, you must also select the most powerful class in this era to win more easily.
Of course, neither Wu Hui nor Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei would choose the seemingly powerful aristocratic class. Because the nobility has become lonely these days, after the development of the imperial examination, the next era must be the era of scholars.
Regardless of what the scholars eventually developed into, they were at least better than the aristocratic families who monopolized knowledge and channels for advancement. Therefore, they are a progressive force compared to the nobles.
The bourgeoisie was also a progressive force compared to the feudal civil servants. This thing is relative. Although in the final analysis it is all garbage, garbage only becomes garbage after it has been used up.
It can never be achieved in one step, so social development will always move forward step by step on the basis of garbage, as long as the current garbage is better than the previous garbage. Therefore, both parties unanimously chose the political program of wooing scholars and attacking wealthy families.
Then there are the regional political blocs. This is inevitable. If you start in one place, your initial subordinates must mainly come from here. If they work with you for a long time, they will definitely get promoted. A group of people who started in the same area hold high positions and support their own people, and gradually form a group.
