Myths Begin From Boys' Gong
Chapter 2357 4 Fangcheng Power
"Mr. Bei, I wonder who built this square city. Is he still alive? Does he have any successors?"
Meng Zhao's mind worked quickly. Anyone who could build a city with this ten-thousand-year-old black ice mountain as the foundation, not to mention his martial arts, just in terms of his skills and techniques, he could definitely be considered a master craftsman.
As a hegemon who aspires to establish his own territory or even dominate the world, the more talents under his command the better. This is not limited to the so-called internal affairs. Military talents, similar management and technical talents are also indispensable.
Apart from anything else, if Meng Zhao had such a great craftsman under his command, he would have more room to display and display his abilities in his own territory in the future. Even though Meng Zhao had the memories of his previous life, it did not mean that he could master everything. He still had to focus and make choices.
The only thing Meng Zhao is good at is martial arts. Besides, his so-called ability to deal with people and various methods are nothing more than the accumulation of his extensive knowledge and experience in his previous life.
Although Bei Jun didn't know Meng Zhao's specific thoughts, he could barely see his intentions and said,
"Sifang City was built under the supervision of our human race's great craftsman Xu Zongjiang. He also designed all the facilities, dimensions, and layouts in the city.
However, Master Xu has passed away and has no successor. "
Meng Zhao was a little disappointed, but that was all. Talents were rare, but he was not the only one. In this world, powerful gods and demons were extremely rare. As for talents like Xu Zongjiang, there were still many of them in the vast human race and in the land within Shenzhou.
Bei Jun took Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling to the gate of the Sifang City made of iceberg, and introduced them to the Sifang City, as well as the distribution and ownership of forces in the city.
In general, Sifang City is quite similar to Lingwu City. It is mainly governed by three families. In addition, there are some small families assisting in building a grassroots power system to ensure the operation of Sifang City.
These three families are the Zhou family, the Fu family, and the Zhang family.
The Zhou family moved to the polar ice field during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and it has been a hundred years since then.
They were originally a noble family during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and were ranked as dukes. However, they were involved in the fight for the throne after Emperor Taizong's death. Because they bet on the wrong horse, they were eventually suppressed by the emperor and almost exterminated.
The Zhou family had also planned this long ago. When they were fighting for the throne, they had already secretly transported the core members of the family to the northern border to hide. Later, when the fight for the throne failed, the Zhou family became the victim. The core members of the Zhou family who were secretly hidden in the northern border also faced the risk of being liquidated.
At that time, the Dayong Dynasty was at its most prosperous period. Even though the imperial power was still divided and dispersed, the momentum of the dynasty was unstoppable. The Eight Surnames and Thirteen Families were also in a honeymoon period with the royal family. Therefore, at the command of the royal family, even if they were hiding in the northern border, there was a risk of being dug out.
In the end, the Zhou family had no choice but to go through untold hardships and run to the polar ice field to seek a glimmer of hope of survival. Otherwise, if they stayed in the Dayong Dynasty, they would be exterminated.
The Zhou family can be said to be extremely bold, because leaving the land inside the Great Wall and coming to the polar ice field actually means two things to some extent.
The first is that the Zhou family no longer has the supreme artifact of the human race, nor the protection of the human race's great fortune. Coming to the extremely dangerous polar ice field where hundreds of races roam, they may also be exterminated. It is no exaggeration to say that they have escaped death.
However, the Zhou family chose to take such a gamble, preferring to be destroyed at the hands of hundreds of clans rather than at the hands of the Beitang royal family. One can imagine how deep their resentment towards the Beitang royal family is.
Secondly, the Zhou family had completely abandoned the human race's dynasty. Unless there was a change of dynasty one day, as long as the Beitang royal family existed, the Zhou family would never return to the land within the Shenzhou Pass. Therefore, the Zhou family and the Beitang royal family were sworn enemies, and there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two, a fight to the death.
Meng Zhao thought about it carefully and still had some impression of the Zhou family, because the Zhou family itself was a noble family that rose to prominence during the reign of Emperor Taizong, just like the Lei family of Beining Hou. Like the ancestors of the Lei family of Beining Hou, they were all promoted by Emperor Taizong himself, and had outstanding military achievements. They were even higher than the Beining Hou, and were granted the title of Duke, which was hereditary for generations.
However, unlike the Lei family's ancestors who wanted to be sent to a distant place to rule, the Zhou family's ancestors were domineering and scheming, so they settled in Yujing City, hoping to gain enough benefits in this center of the power storm to inherit the family business forever.
As a result, the dignitaries were indeed dignitaries. Compared with the Lei family and the Zhou family, the latter was definitely more respected at that time. After all, they were officials in the capital and received more benefits. The amount of filial piety they received every year alone was a huge number.
But the higher the benefits, the greater the risks. At the same time, his ambition increased, and he even dared to get involved in the fight for the throne. In the end, he was defeated miserably, and not only could he not keep his title, he could not even keep his entire family.
This is the bloody example recorded by the Meng family in the clan annals, a lesson for future generations to learn from.
Therefore, the Meng family never got involved in such high-level disputes, and they honestly acted as their own local tyrants. At most, they had more marriages and more connections with people from other forces, but similar things of banding together for warmth were done by almost everyone in the huge noble system.
Oh, by the way, Meng Zhao still remembered that the Meng family had frequent intermarriages in the past, and there was also an intermarriage with the Zhou family. Although it was only a marriage relationship between two collateral children, it was at least related.
Actually, Meng Zhao and the Zhou family are not related at all, but they are indeed relatives.
A good thing.
Of course, the reason why the Zhou family can hold such authority and power in Sifang City must be that they have their own trump cards.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
After all, from the timeline, when the Ming Dynasty collapsed, heroes and warlords fought for supremacy, the people of the world lived in misery for hundreds of years. Countless people fled to the polar ice fields in search of stability and tranquility.
It is a pity that most of those who fled to the polar ice fields became victims of the hundreds of races. Even if a very small number of people escaped the persecution and hunting of the hundreds of races, their own risk resistance capabilities were actually far from enough, and it was difficult for them to survive for long in the polar ice fields.
Finally, there are the survivors, and 99% of them are of no consequence.
Although the Zhou family came late, they have a really solid foundation.
In his early years, he had an armed force, which was the personal army of the first generation Duke of Zhou family. It was transformed from the killing on the battlefield and had excellent armor. Even when it came to the polar ice field, it was still relied upon.
Secondly, the Zhou family itself had a large number of masters. After leaving the human race's land and breaking away from the human race's blessing of luck, they also broke free from the suppression of the formation. Instead, they turned a disaster into a blessing and had the possibility to pursue a higher level of martial arts.
Finally, and most importantly, the Zhou family is the key to the Nine-Nine Fiery Sun Infinite Array, and the Pure Yang Fiery Bead, which is the core, is the Zhou family's ancestral treasure. (End of this chapter)
