Chapter 147, Conditions of the Eastern Zhou.
Inside the Taishou Mansion.
Lin Yang did not open the letter immediately.
He could actually roughly guess what was written in it. Instead, he looked at Zhang Yi and asked.
“You sent an envoy to Eastern Zhou for two months.”
“Let’s talk about it, what are your insights on Eastern Zhou.”
Looking at Zhang Yi, who was standing respectfully on the side.
Lin Yang asked. Because with the Southern Chu was destroyed. The War of Unification begins.
Next, Dayan’s enemies were mainly Northern Mang and Eastern Zhou. Compared to Bei Mang, Lin Yang cared more about Eastern Zhou.
Bei Mang is located in the grasslands of the north.
The grasslands are vast, and they are not nomads who live by water and grass. Productivity did not enter the industrial era.
Governing the steppe is actually a very expensive and laborious affair.
Therefore, Lin Yang planned to adopt restraints on the grassland and follow the practice of wild boar skin. And to the Eastern Week.
It’s to take down.
Because it is a prosperous place comparable to Southern Chu. After Zhang Yi heard Lin Yang’s inquiry.
He said after a moment of silence.
“Order!”
It only takes two words to describe the Eastern Zhou Kingdom. This seemed a little incredible to Lin Yang.
“Tell me specifically!”
Lin Yang stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Yi.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
“The reason why Weichen said that.”
“It’s because the Eastern Zhou has an extremely strict hierarchy from top to bottom.”
“In addition to joining the army and the imperial examination.”
“The farmers at the bottom no longer have any way up.”
“Origin determines the life of all people.”
“This is also very evident in the aristocracy.”
“The great nobility of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has never changed.”
“Still a nobleman divided during the founding period.”
“The fiefdoms of each nobleman have not changed either.”
“Every nobleman with his own subjects lives in a fixed place.”
“Live according to the decrees made by the founding monarchs of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty a hundred years ago.”
“No one has and will not disobey.”
“They… They are like machinery in the Iron and Rock City factory. ”
“Yes, the entire Eastern Week.”
“It’s like the machinery in the Iron and Stone City factory, running all the time.”
“And this operation has been running for a hundred years!!!”
Heard Zhang Yi’s explanation.
Lin Yang’s eyes showed deep shock. It’s also terrible.
Isn’t such a society like a pool of stagnant water? No one actually rose up to rebel.
The nobles and commoners of this Eastern Zhou are all a herd of docile sheep? But think on the battlefield.
The noble soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the pawns composed of commoners fought to the death. As if there were no contradictions at all.
This was too unexpected for Lin Yang.
“It’s not in line with the laws of society.”
“Zhang Yi, there must be a reason for it.”
“The Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which is like a stagnant society, what is the reason for the formation, have you found it?”
Zhang Yi nodded solemnly.
“Yes, but not sure!”
“And it sounds absurd.”
Heard Zhang Yi say this.
Lin Yang’s face showed a pensive look. Then said with a serious face.
“It can’t be related to the mythical and legendary demons, right?”
The voice fell.
Zhang Yi bowed down.
“Your Majesty knows everything.”
“It’s just divine!”
“Good!”
“It’s about demons!”
“It is rumored that the Eastern Zhou Army God was originally just a small country in the original Hundred Kingdoms.”
“After that, there are great demons raging in a hundred countries.”
“The country where the god of war is located has been breached.”
“The whole nation was sacrificed.”
“Only the Eastern Zhou Army God survived.”
“After that, the Eastern Zhou army god seemed to have received the help of the gods, and raised troops at the end of Wei.”
“Unify a hundred countries and establish the Eastern Zhou.”
“And the reason why he did this is to kill demons!”
“Later, news related to demons came from the side of Martial Emperor City.”
“The Eastern Zhou Army God is Zhou Gaozu at this time.”
“He also gave up the throne and went overseas alone.”
“After that, he never returned to the Great Zhou.”
“And after Zhou Gaozu left.”
“The emperors who succeeded him were violently killed one after another.”
“Until Zhou Gaozu sent back a letter and a demon sword.”
“The tragedy of the violent death of the Eastern Zhou Emperor ended.”
“And since then, Eastern Zhou has set a national policy.”
“Don’t expand, just build walls.”
“On the northern border, a great wall stretched for thousands of miles was built.”
“One-third of the men in the whole country are guarding the city in the north.”
“And all this is to prevent demons!”
“Even if the Eastern Zhou came out of the Great Eastern Pass and entered the Southern Yan, he couldn’t trust the strength of Southern Chu.”
“I want to take Nanyan and extend the Great Wall.”
“Block the demons in the north!”
“And this is the ultimate reason why the political situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has not changed for a hundred years.”
“Because!”
“They are still at war all over the country.”
“And the enemy is the demon of the north!”
“These demons have another name.”
“Inujong Alien!!!”
Hearing Zhang Yi say these secrets. I was also shocked.
“I didn’t expect it!”
“The century-old history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is actually to block the demons in the north.”
“No wonder their rule is so stable.”
“It’s the same desire.”
At this time, Zhang Yi continued.
“Your Majesty, just when I left Eastern Zhou Kyoto.”
“Now Emperor Zhou told me that the Southern Yan War was originally a misunderstanding.”
“Now the North Inujung Demon Clan is about to move.”
“The entire Great Zhou has begun to recruit soldiers to fight the demon clan in the north with all its strength.”
“Therefore, there will definitely not be troops sent to the west to fight for the Great East Pass.”
“He wants to be bounded by the Great Eastern Pass.”
“The two countries live in peace.”
“Until, defeat the Inujung Demon Clan! Bear! ”
Hear this.
Lin Yang did not speak.
And pick up the letter that I just reassured. Open for quick reading up. The number of words on it is very small.
But the content is enough to shock everyone. On the letter, the emperor of the Eastern Zhou said.
Both the Dadongguan and the Dadongguan Basin can be given to Dayan.
The premise was that the Yan Kingdom would send an army numbering in the millions to the Eastern Zhou. Help resist the Northern Inujung Demon Clan.
And if this condition is not agreed. Then take care of the Dadongguan Basin. Each supports a nobleman.
But defeat the Inujung aliens when they invade the Dadongguan Basin. The first condition, Lin Yang will definitely not agree.
They have an army of millions, why not grab them directly.
Also give it away?
For your Eastern Week?
The second condition is negotiable.
But now he hasn’t even taken the territory of Southern Chu. The Dadongguan Basin was taken, and it was not of much use.
Fortunately, when you only need the dog to invade, it is good to send troops to resist.
If the dog comes in, then it is basically impossible not to send troops themselves. However, Lin Yang did not make a decision immediately.
And handed the letter to Zhang Yi.
“You say!”
“How should I reply to Emperor Zhou!”
Zhang Yi was also not polite, took the letter and read it again and smiled lightly.
“Your Majesty.”
“The second condition is equivalent to giving you the Dadongguan Basin.”
“Because if the Inujung invades here, it will definitely be the loss of the northern defense line.”
“I’m afraid that the collapse of the Eastern Zhou is also imminent.”
“This Great Dongguan Basin is not yours yet.”
“As for whether you want to send troops or not, you can still be subject to his Emperor Zhou.”
Hear this.
Lin Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Good!”
“Zhang Yi, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
“Tell Emperor Zhou that I promised him the second condition.”
“As for the Dadongguan Basin.”
“Zhang Yi, I will appoint you as the Northern Yan Imperial Guard in Dadongguan!”
“A major matter is left to you.”
“In addition, transfer 200,000 forbidden troops from Fengling City, transfer Guo Wei, Li Chongjin, Han Tong as a general, and Yanyun Eighteen Horses as a guard to assist you in governing the Dadongguan Basin.”
Speaking of this, Lin Yang paused.
“For the Dadongguan Basin, I don’t need to do much.”
“There is only one, if the dog comes in.”
“You must resist for at least half a month until I lead my troops to support.”
Although Zhang Yi has unlimited loyalty to Lin Yang.
But he himself was a strategist with great ambition. Hear the dispatch of yourself out of town.
Zhang Yi’s face was overjoyed.
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty.”
“Zhang Yi guards the Great East Pass, be solid!”
Lin Yang nodded.
And right now.
Ji Gang’s voice came from outside the door.
“Report!”
“Your Majesty, reject the great victory of Beicheng.”
“Killed 30,000 Bei Mang elites and captured 40,000!!!”
It was at this moment.
The system prompt that I haven’t heard for a long time sounds.
