Just as Yu Zai said, the princes and state pastors are on their way to the Central Plains, starting from all directions of this vast mountain and sea.
People have different thoughts, some are panicked, some are calm, some are not concerned about the future of Shanhai, and some are wondering what benefits this trip can gain from Zhu Xia's fundamentals.
To the north of Zhuxia is Guzhu Country.
The king of Lone Bamboo Kingdom set out early, followed the ancient rules, and brought three sheep to meet the three kings.
"I have a hunch that when I go to the Central Plains this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain the title of prince."
The king of Lone Bamboo Kingdom felt something and told the ministers about it.
In the past few years, state pastors have been dispatched to various places to work. It is said that twelve pastors were dispatched at the beginning, but later they were increased to twenty-four pastors.
These twenty-four shepherds will bring the achievements of the three years of governance to everyone. Since a certain king of the Central Plains who rides the Emperor River will fly around from time to time to conduct surprise inspections, it is impossible to prevent them, so that the state shepherds are diligent and diligent. , during these three years, I did not dare to do anything extraordinary, let alone accept benefits from the local tribes.
As princes, although they have the right to be exempted from inspection, the rights of princes in the Xia have been shrinking in recent years. For example, the luxury of the royal palace, the number of military establishments, and even some domestic production methods and policy systems have all been reduced. With the intervention of the higher-ups in Zhuxia, sometimes they would even tailor a set of management methods, and the responses given would be very fast. All the princes who had used it said it was good...
In addition, Zhuxia will send a manager to assist the princes in their work. In name, he is a manager, but in fact he is a supervisor, and he is also a nail into the interior of each princes' tribe.
"The upper echelons of the Xia took back the rights of the princes. Those were the princes granted by the Xia. Some wise men, such as Bocheng Zigao and Donghu Jizi, did not care about them. However, as the leader of the country, I and Unlike their princes who only have land and fields, taking back a lot of my rights is tantamount to erasing me as a king and reducing me to a position worse than a shepherd."
"Being a king instead of being a king, I will be a shepherd instead. This may be the direction of the Xia in the future. If I am no longer the king, no one will be abdicated, and the clans will become villages, scattered in all directions like stars."
King Lone Bamboo looked a little sad, but at least after such integration, his descendants can still get certain privileges. At least this is the general trend of the world, and it is not something that his small Lone Bamboo Kingdom can resist. They are also among the four wildernesses. Lord, his strength is the weakest, but he is in a bitter cold land and no one has invaded his land.
But this time, the words he said before leaving no longer had the enthusiastic response in the past. He vaguely remembered that before joining Zhuxia, the courtiers in the city looked sad, as if they were about to exterminate the clan, but now , their power increased, while the king's power declined, and they were fully integrated into the policies formulated by Zhu Xia.
Zhu Xia divided the close ties between the king and the nobles among various tribes and states. Without the help of the nobles, the king was nothing more than a lonely man, and could easily have the crown knocked off his head.
Yes, the king is no longer a king, but the minister is still a minister!
The world can be without kings, but it cannot be without wise men. Without wise men, there is no way to govern the world, and kings are just people who make decisions!
"Legend has it that in distant Hongzhou, there is a policy wall with countless wooden signs about policies and consciousness hanging on it. When a policy comes to an end, you can turn over the next wooden sign to make a choice... ..”
"With the direction of the world, it's time to renovate the wooden sign again. I wonder if I will have the honor to see this wall in this alliance?"
It is said that this legendary wall will be brought to the Central Plains and will appear in this alliance. At least it was mentioned in the letter inviting the alliance, which makes it easy to think of what will happen next.
When the new wooden cards are turned over, it means that the disintegration of the old era has begun.
From the land of melting snow to the vast grassland, from the high mountains to the banks of the river.
The 24th Mu is also speeding up. They have a lot to report. They are driving the carriage on the road, the wheels are spinning, and large amounts of dust are being raised.

Southwest of Zhuxia, the country of Huayang.
Huayang Kingdom has now initially conquered many small tribes around it, and its land has expanded and its territory has become larger. However, those small tribes sandwiched between Shu and Badi chose Shu between Shu and Ba.
The country of Huayang is at least a civilized country, and you will not suffer any consequences if you join it.
"In the past, when Leizu came out of Xiling, the Yellow Emperor prospered; in the past, when there was a prosperous intention to govern the Minjiang River, Shu people came out of their stone houses! Now that Huayang comes out of Shu, this time it will definitely be recorded in the history books and be remembered by future generations. Praise!"
The shepherd of Huayang Kingdom took away a large bronze statue from Huayang Kingdom as a tribute and witness to the alliance.
In the land of Bashu and Xiling, the people of Huayang Kingdom once again walked out of this trapped world. They came to Hanzhong and traveled with Boqi, the dream god.

Southwest of Zhuxia, Bashan.
Ba Di was divided into three forces. Among them, He Yi had already joined Zhu Xia. They worshiped Concubine as the God of Arrows and praised and worshiped them. The Ba people's headquarters in Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, and Dongjing and Yugui on the other side Most of them had huge differences and were constantly fighting with each other.
Badi is in chaos, and the huge alliance formed at that time has long since fallen apart. The tribes of Liang and E, and the kingdoms of Dazhu, Changsha, Manyang, and Luren have either surrendered and made peace with the barbarians and turned into Zhuxia, or they have relied on the Ba people and acted like cattle and horses. .
At this time, small tribes took refuge among them and were at risk of being killed or used as slaves.
As for Lin Jun, who was in Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, there was no way to save the current chaotic situation.
After Wu Dan, the ancestor of the Ba people, was killed, and after the Ba people were defeated in Hongzhou and lost tens of thousands of brave men, Lin Jun's behavior became more radical after this battle. He believed that only if all the Ba people united Only by getting up can we capture Hongzhou!
But the other tribes had long been separated from the five Ba people in Wuluo Zhongli Mountain. At this time, Jun Lin asked to merge, but of course they were unwilling. So Jun Lin used beating methods, but the effect was counterproductive, and they encountered strong resistance from the opposite side!
What the Ba people are best at is fighting guerrillas. Although Lin Jun is one of the best in the world, others are shooting arrows on the top of the mountain. He shoots an arrow and changes to another place. By the time Lin Jun chases after him, the opponent has already run away, so he can only Let him be impotent and furious.
Later, I learned that those Ba people who were doing labor reform in Hongzhou in Wuluo Zhongli Mountain had actually integrated into Hongzhou and promoted and preached for Hongzhou, so much so that they even ran back to Wuluo Zhongli Mountain to persuade them to surrender!
What they mean is that war will not bring prosperity, but will only bring bloodshed and sacrifice. Now there is no need to fight anymore. If Lord Lin turns his back and surrenders in courtesy, he will still retain his status as a lord...
This argument was decisively suppressed by Lin Jun, who also killed those former "tribesmen" who came to persuade them to surrender.
