Chapter 591: Immortals are not in chaos, but people fight first
The pace of reform is quietly unfolding in Chaoge. The entire Shang Dynasty is probably not aware of their lives, and there will be earth-shaking changes from then on.
A year later, the reform of Chaoge circle centered on Chaoge gradually spread to the princes in various places. Because since Chaoge attacked the illegal princes in various places, some major princes have been paying attention to Chaoge's movements. For this reason, they did not hesitate to send precious immortal powers in their territory to ensure that Chaoge's information can be fed back to their vassal territory in a timely manner.
The protection of the basic rights and interests of the masses is easy, and the princes can tolerate it, but the subsequent separation of military and civilians, financial and judicial systems will make most princes dissatisfied. Because if this reform continues, then these great merchant princes will probably be left with an empty shell in the end.
Although it is not stated that the reform will be extended to the entire Da Shang Dynasty, with their understanding of the people in Chaoge's central people such as the King, Wen Taishi, this is certain, and it will definitely be like this.
So, what should they do and how to get rid of the unfavorable situation that may come in the future?! Countless princes in the world have been unable to sleep at night since then, and they have also developed secret contacts with each other. Some princes are working in Chaoge to see if there is any place to make trouble.
These surged undercurrents were naturally known by the people in Chaoge's central clan such as Di Yi, Wen Tai Shi, etc., but the arrow must be shot out on the string. In this case, how can we continue? If those princes have the intention to rebel, then let's take action against them.
Ji Qing had long estimated this, but in his opinion, the sooner these princes moved, the better. Because at this time, the Investiture of God was not officially launched, the Great Shang Dynasty had not been positioned by the above, and the princes could not get the support of the immortal-level power. In this case, with the background of the disciples of the Wen Taishi Jie Sect, the Great Shang Central solved the princes. As for the people in the world, the Great Shang Central controlled the information here. As long as the people in the world understood, they would naturally not be in chaos, and they could even support Chaoge's just actions.
However, Ji Qing waited and waited, and these princes who even ran to Chaoge to work, did not move at all until the seventh year of reform in Chaoge's circle. This tolerance was beyond Ji Qing's expectations, and it was too tolerant, the Ninja Turtle.
However, in this seventh year, when the Chaoge circle undergoes great changes in the reform atmosphere, the princes finally began to act. They were very smart and did not mean to fight against the Da Shang, but to protect the princes' own rights. They wanted to maintain this system. At the same time, they denounced Chaogeji Qingda-Master, a treacherous minister, to calm the king down and restore the simple and simple people's livelihood of the past.
Is this the way to clear the king?! Ji Qing almost lost his nose, and these guys actually made up their minds.
Ji Qing thought about it, but laughed. It was no wonder that those dragon boats that shocked the princes were built by their brothers, and who made the subsequent series of reforms proposed by Ji Qing and led the entire reform process. If Ji Qing did not arouse resentment from these princes, no one else would be lucky.
At the Chaoge Conference that day, when these subordinates sent by these princes offered requests from the princes from various places to Emperor Yi, Ji Qing stood up and apologized to Emperor Yi.
"Master, you are the wise minister of my Da Shang, why are you the villain in the mouths of the princes?" Di Yi comforted, with a serious look on his face, "Since they protest, then let's talk to them about the truth and what to do to make my Da Shang more prosperous and the people happier."
To be honest, the princes acted a little late. After all, it was the seventh year. Chaoge Circle's reform has reached its final stage and has almost matured and stabilized. Even if Di Yi faces great pressure, he will not be lenient and compromise, because soon, Chaoge Circle's reform will face the entire Shang Dynasty. This is related to the great cause of the great Shang Dynasty for thousands of generations. How could Di Yi have hesitated?
What's more, the brothers Ji Qing have provided the Da Shang with two hundred flying dragon boats over the years, which has made the maneuverability of Chaoge's center reach the extreme, and there is no problem with using troops to several largest princes. This time difference, the princes cannot do many things, but the Da Shang who has flying dragon boats is enough to concentrate their troops to destroy all the princes one by one.
Moreover, Chaoge's seven years of reform have also achieved great results. Not to mention the protection of the basic rights and interests of the people, the entire Chaoge's material production and economic circulation are more than several times stronger than in the past. Chaoge's strength is much stronger. It is no problem to use troops to start a war, and it can even stimulate Chaoge's economy.
Therefore, for Di Yi, he had to be strong to the end, and he wanted the princes to rebel. With this excuse, he took the opportunity to destroy several princes and establish his authority, and then expanded to the entire Da Shang reform, which could continue healthily and orderly.
Di Yi said this, and so openly supporting Ji Qing, the faces of the representatives sent by the princes changed. Although they guessed that Chaoge would not give up, they were still a little unexpected to them so directly and simply. This also shows that Chaoge's decision would not give up to expanding the reform.
As the leader of reform, Di Yi expressed his attitude, so he naturally had to go forward and fight with the representatives about whether the reform was correct and reasonable, presenting facts and making sense, and making generous statements. In the end, the representatives who were talking about it were pale and unable to argue.
Finally, Ji Qing gave them a sentence: How can the rights and enjoyment of the princes be compared to the happiness of countless people of the Da Shang people, and how can the Da Shang go on for generations?
One sentence blocked them, and no matter what they said, they could not defeat the great achievements of the great merchants for generations. Looking at the disdainful gazes of civil and military officials in the court, these representatives understood that no one would compromise on this issue on Chaoge.
A month later, the princes who seemed to have stopped and accepted their fate suddenly started to move as a whole. The largest princes did not take action, but the thousands of small and medium-sized princes raised their troops to support themselves at the same time, and did not gather the banner of rebellion. They were still the ones who used to protect their due rights and interests. These guys really took the reform of Chaoge Circle thoroughly.
Although the princes did not have the banner of creating a law, they had already had the reality of rebellion. Therefore, the second day after learning the information, the Grand Master was the Grand Marshal of the World, commanding the Eighth Routes, and began to attack the rebellion of the princes with Chaoge.
The princes next to Chaoge were too close to Chaoge, and many of them did not support themselves. However, Wen Zhong and his mentors passed by there, which shocked the local princes. Although there was no excuse to deal with them now, when the reforms were expanded in the future, their rights would be greatly reduced. In addition to maintaining the name of the princes, they actually had nothing left.
After passing these princes who were preparing to have rat heads, Wen Zhong, the eight-way army of the Grand Marshal, drove to the territory of those princes who protected themselves in a very short time.
In fact, these rebel princes were not strong. You should know that the largest princes, such as the Xiqi area led by Ji Chang, was only one percent of the area of Chaoge. The areas led by small and medium-sized princes were even smaller. Their strength was largely proportional to their territory.
Therefore, although these rebellious princes resisted violently, they were defeated and soon defeated in the face of Wen Zhong's eight-way army. The important factor here was the support of Chaoge by the local people. With them attacking inside and outside, these princes could persevere. This was also the reason for the various information wars before the Great Shang Dynasty started, so that the people of the Great Shang Dynasty knew about Chaoge's goodness, so that the Chaoge army could be supported by the people from all over the world.
If a prince is destroyed, no other prince will come up this time, but Chaoge will follow up, and the subsequent administrative personnel will carry out preliminary reform plans in this area ruled by the princes.
Yes, the plan for expansion of reform was advanced. The resistance of the princes gave Chaoge the opportunity to take action. Then after the princes were eliminated, the remaining areas could not be handed over to another prince. The implementation of a new system was inevitable. Although Chaoge's seven years of reforms did not reach the level of perfection, it was enough to support the expanded reforms within a certain range.
In this way, Wen Zhong's army took steady steps and did not destroy a rebellious prince, but the local area was brought to Chaoge. Then, the administrative personnel sent by Chaoge carried out various reform measures. For this reason, Ji Qing specially arranged a reform team with the army, striving to completely change the local area without conquering a place.
Not only will the destroyed princes be reformed, but those who have not resisted will not be spared on the march. The areas they command will also not escape the invasion of reform. If they do not resist and allow the reform to continue, then in the future they will only be civilian officials with the title of princes. If they resist, their fate will be vivid. How to choose depends on themselves.
The problem brought by steady action is that Wen Zhong's army will not be very fast. If it is indicated on the map, you can see that as time goes by, the Chaoge army attacking all directions on the map is moving forward very slowly, and not straight lines, but curves. Be sure to change every place to a color. It can be seen that as Wen Zhong's army advances, the colors represented by Chaoge on the map are gradually expanding and gradually expanding.
Ji Chang, as the head of the Western princes who commanded all the various large and small princes in the western part of the Shang Dynasty, has had her mouth blisters and a fever over the past few days.
Looking at the map of Da Shang and listening to the reports from his spies, Ji Chang became more anxious, and naturally the blisters on his mouth became more painful.
"Damn Ji Qing, whose descendant he is, he actually turned his elbow outward, transferred the cannon to beat him in, and helped Di Yi deal with our Ji clan." Ji Chang thought of the culprit, the priest named Ji Qing, and couldn't help but feel angry and cursed.
"If it weren't for this person, how could Di Yi's body, who was dying, become healthy? If it weren't for this person, how could Chaoge have such a magical dragon boat to break through the air? If it weren't for this person, how could Chaoge have such amazing reform measures? This guy is simply the mortal enemy of our princes. With the same surname Ji, how could he do this? How could he ignore our tribe members?" Ji Chang also said, furiously.
The reason for this is naturally that Ji Chang sent a contact person to talk to Ji Qing, but was directly rejected by Ji Qing. It can be said that Ji Qing not only did not give him face, but even did not give Ji Chang the opportunity to speak. How could he not make his descendants, who are also Emperor Huangdi of Xuanyuan, angry...
