Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1131 The Finale
Chapter 1143
Seeing this cruel scene, Xu Yuan was also stunned, but Liu Ke smiled lightly. Da Wei is now suffering from internal and external troubles, especially the Anxi Protectorate, which has been severely damaged. It will not be restored within three to five years. possible.Besides, Wei Guo didn't have food to feed these prisoners of war, and there was no manpower to guard them, so it was the most correct choice to deal with them directly.After all, the State of Wei had to face the coalition forces of the Sassanid Empire and the Gupta Empire, which numbered as many as 80 million.

In the late April of [-] in the era of the Yellow Emperor, the emperor of the Gupta Empire, Samadhara Gupta, led the Gupta Empire army to retreat without authorization.At the same time, the Sasanian Emperor Shapur II also ordered the Sasanian army to retreat.

The entire army of more than [-] troops was wiped out, even if the Gupta Empire had a population of more than [-] million, it could not afford it.But what makes Samadhara Gupta the most uncomfortable is that behind him is not only the evil wolf Xie Xuan, but also the unworthy son Yue Ai. Within the Gupta Empire, he is no longer able to resist the forces of the three member states of the Great Wei Federation Empire. United attack.

As for the Sassanian Empire, there were also internal and external troubles. After signing an armistice agreement with the Roman Empire and learning that the Great Wei Empire had defeated the combined forces of the Sasanian Empire and the Gupta Empire, the Roman Empire also unilaterally tore up the armistice agreement and launched a war against the Sasanian Empire. All-out attack.

The Sassanid Empire and the Gupta Empire, which were attacked from both sides, had no choice but to submit to Wei State aggrievedly.

Of course, the Great Wei Empire would never give up the opportunity for the lion to open its mouth.

Time flies by, and Ran Ming has been in power for 25 years.At this time, the state of Wei had built 30 kilometers of railways, and initially realized the railway project of connecting states to states, and the speed of steam engine trains had increased to [-] kilometers per hour after more than a dozen reforms and developments.

In [-] of the Yellow Emperor's era, the entire Changchu Railway was opened to traffic.

In [-] of the Yellow Emperor's Era, Hypatia, a Roman national of Wei State, completed the translation of "Geometry" with the help of her father.In the same year, Hypatia was conferred the title of baron of the Great Wei Federation Empire by Ran Mingyu.

In [-] of the Yellow Emperor Era, with the help of her father, Hypatia invented the "astrolabe" for observing astronomy and predicting the time. In the same year, she invented the sextant for navigation.Hypatia was promoted to the count of the Great Wei Federation Empire, with the title of Goddess of Wisdom.He is also hired as an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences and enjoys national scientific research subsidies for life.

In [-] of the Yellow Emperor era, the Royal Academy of Sciences invented the internal combustion engine.Wei Guo entered the era of internal combustion engines.

In the [-] year of the Yellow Emperor's era, the Emperor Wei Academy of Sciences successfully produced a DC generator.

In the 22nd year of the Yellow Emperor, the Wei emperor Ran Ming announced his abdication and formulated a constitution that the term of the emperor should not exceed 25 years.

Ran Ming, the emperor of the Great Wei Federal Empire, abdicated and handed over power, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.Ran Ming has ascended the throne since the 23rd and proclaimed himself emperor. He has reigned for 25 years and is only 48 years old now.In the political world, 48 years old can definitely be called young and promising.You must know that Ran Ming has never stopped exercising. With his physical fitness, there is absolutely no problem in living another 30 to [-] years.But Ran Ming still chose to abdicate, and handed over all the power in his hands cleanly.

Wang Meng, the third Prime Minister of the Great Wei Federal Empire, asked in great confusion: "Your Majesty is in the middle of the day, why should he abdicate?"

"Absolute power corrupts people!" Ran Ming replied without hesitation: "Whether it is Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who reigned for the longest time (reigned for 54 years, counting from the historical time period of this book, he is the emperor in the The person with the longest reign) is still Qin Shihuang Yingzheng (reigned for 36 years). At the beginning of their ascension to the throne, they were very wise and martial, and made great contributions to the country. But in the later period of their administration, because the court slowly put them Deified, so a lot of problems have arisen on them."

In Chinese history books, Qin Huang and Han Wu, these two emperors created the pinnacle of China's feudal era, especially Liu Che, the longest reigning Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The Western Expedition to Dawan and the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu established the basic scope of the Han land and created the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Other measures such as opening up the Silk Road, establishing the year name, promulgating the Taichu calendar, and promoting Taixue also had far-reaching impacts.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made achievements in various fields, but in the later period of his reign, he resorted to military force and caused the disaster of witchcraft, which left negative comments.Not to mention Qin Shihuang, he made outstanding achievements in his life, and successively destroyed the six countries of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi. A powerful country, and established the territory of China itself.At the same time, the San Gong Jiu Qing is implemented in the central government to manage state affairs.The local government abolished the system of enfeoffment and replaced it with the system of counties and counties. At the same time, the books and cars were in the same track, and the weights and measures were unified.Attack the Xiongnu in the north, conquer Baiyue in the south, build the Great Wall, build Lingqu, and communicate with the water system.But in the later period, Qiuxian dreamed of longevity, tyranny and abuse of the people, shaking the foundation of the Qin Dynasty's rule.

When Wang Meng heard this, he bowed his head and remained silent.He also knew that what Ran Ming said was true.However, Wang Meng knew that the most important reason for Ran Ming was to set a good example for future generations.After the establishment of the Great Wei Federal Empire, Ran Ming has always been very restrained in his desire for power. The problems that occurred in Qin Huang, Han and Wu probably will not appear in Ran Ming.It's just that he was very worried that such a problem would occur, so he retreated bravely.

Ran Ming continued: "The constitution and various systems of the Great Wei Federal Empire have basically matured. From the emperor, the prime minister, the chief of staff to the various ministries, they have clearly defined their scope of authority. The Wei State has adopted a separation of military and government, Local self-government, the structure is layered and intertwined, mutual restraint. In this way, not only avoiding someone's tyranny, but also avoiding unsuitable laws and harsh treatment of the people. In fact, the biggest wish in my heart is that the emperor is just a symbol, a spiritual leader, and The ruling power of the country is in the hands of the prime minister and the cabinet, while the armed military force is in the hands of the chief of staff and ministers. Once the emperor and the throne become a puppet, an empty shelf, naturally there will be no situation that the emperor wants to do, and they can Eliminate the huge wars caused by the change of dynasties from the root."

Although a relatively centralized democratic system will also produce internal struggles, such internal struggles are all within a controllable range.And the loss will be much smaller, compared with the hundreds of millions of people killed and injured in the change of dynasty, it is still within the acceptable range.

Some people may say that the Chinese are good at fighting among themselves, but in fact this is all nonsense.Which nation does not fight among themselves?Which country does not fight among itself?For example, there are only 45 presidents in the United States, and nine presidents alone have been assassinated, and the assassination rate is as high as 20.00%.It is even higher than the casualty rate of the first-line troops in the Normandy landing campaign in the United States.Countless speakers, congressmen, governors, and mayors have been assassinated in the United States.Is the United States not good at infighting?Has America collapsed?

Ran Ming not only formulated the scope of duties of officials, but also formulated the basic rights and interests of the common people.For example, the "Personal Rights and Interests Protection Law" of the Great Wei Federal Empire was officially implemented in January [-] of the Yellow Emperor Era.The "Law on the Protection of Personal Rights and Interests of the Great Wei Federation Empire" clearly stipulates that for all nationals who have the nationality of the Great Wei Federation, their personal property and life safety are protected by law.Any individual or collective that violates the interests of others must be severely punished.After the law of Wei State was officially implemented, it meant that there was no privileged class in Wei State on the surface.Even the emperor cannot forcibly deprive anyone of life and property.

If this law is not guaranteed, it will always be a blank sheet of paper.The core idea of ​​legalism is that princes commit the same crime as ordinary people when they break the law, but until now, this is still empty talk and has not been implemented at all.

Ran Ming stipulated that people in their own homes have the right to kill any outsiders who try to forcibly break into their homes. (including yamen servants and tax collectors). At the same time, private individuals in the state of Wei can legally own weapons. After the official replacement of the rifles in the state of Wei, the crossbows, armor, and weapons in stock and active service in the state of Wei are almost all sold at low prices except for export. It was given to the people of Wei State.Almost every household owns a crossbow.But in the process of close combat, the rifle is not necessarily more powerful than the crossbow.If they were really shooting at each other within thirty paces, it would not be certain who would kill who.After the rifles were equipped on a large scale, Ran Ming stipulated that private individuals could also own firearms.Like self defense pistols, shotguns, shotguns.In the border states and counties of Wei State, the common people can legally possess rifles, (the first-generation [-]-type rifles eliminated by the army), grenades or incendiary bombs, and even individual-launched rockets.

In this environment, corruption or oppression of the people in Wei State has become a very dangerous occupation.If you are in a hurry, I will shoot you with a black gun. If you are in a hurry, I will die with you with the bomb.Officials of the Wei State died as many as hundreds of nine-rank officials while they were in office, some because of favoritism and malpractice, and some because of corruption. Anyway, Wei State officials promoted the civil gun ban bill time after time, and Ran Ming regarded them as absolutely non-negotiable Tone refused.Ran Ming's anti-corruption magic weapon has three methods. The center has the censor, the local government has democratic supervision, and the people below have supervision. It is not ordinary difficult to corrupt.And even if your background is strong enough and you can't be moved officially, the common people dare to drag you to die together.

In this political environment, the development of Wei State is very vigorous.

"Your Majesty, I still want to create an ancient and peaceful world with Your Majesty!" Wang Meng said: "Last year, the per capita disposable income of our Great Wei was as high as [-] gold, and every household has surplus food. This is an unprecedented feat since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors! "

"Peace and prosperity, hehe, is peace and prosperity very rare?" Ran Ming said: "Jing Lue, you are familiar with classics and history, so you naturally know that every dynasty was prosperous for a long time at the beginning of its founding, such as the rule of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty. " Hanshu Shihuozhi records that during the 70 years from the beginning of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Wu’s accession to the throne, due to domestic political stability, as long as there was no flood or drought, the people always provided enough for their families, and the warehouses in the county were full of grain. The food is rotten and inedible due to old age, the government has surplus money in the treasury, the capital has tens of millions of money, and even the strings of money are rotten. This is a very vivid description of the rule of Wenjing. Tell me, what is the rule of Wenjing compared to our Great Wei?"

Wang Meng was speechless for a while, what are millions of strings of money? (Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cast five baht coins, the official copper coins were half taels, one tael was 24 bahts, and twelve baht coins were half taels. In this way, a thousand copper coins are a string, weighing 25 kilograms.) I am afraid that they were searched at that time. In the whole country, there are only five or six million catties of copper.Wang Meng manages the transfer department, and knows that there are 600 million gold coins, 700 billion silver coins, and even copper coins circulating in the territory of Wei, which may not be less than one trillion.Not counting silver or copper coins, the weight of gold coins circulating in Wei State alone was ten times more than all the copper in the Han Dynasty.

The key is that although the per capita disposable income of Wei State has increased, the prices have not risen too far.Although the grain is slightly higher than before, reaching one stone per thousand dollars.However, if the people of Wei State buy grain with the per capita disposable income, they can buy three thousand stones, weighing a total of 36 catties (the Celestial Dynasty 2015 is 20167, and the cheapest rice that can be bought is more than 4000 catties)

Ran Ming said: "In fact, the so-called prosperous age is actually because of the long-term war. We went from a population of more than 6000 million to less than 2000 million people. If two-thirds of the people died, the land would be enough for the remaining population. According to our development speed, 20 years later, the population of Wei State will reach the heyday of the Han Dynasty, reaching 6000 million people. At that time, our Wei State can also develop at a high speed, because we have more land than the Han Dynasty. At the same time, There is no gentry family to annex the land. The most important thing is that the source of Wei's tax revenue is not at all the bitterness of Wei's digging from the ground. After Ran Yun ascended the throne, he will carve stones and erect monuments, announcing that the people of the world will be exempt from imperial food. "

Wang Meng nodded, and if the imperial rations were waived, it would be waived.Although Wei Guo has more than 300 million gold in agricultural and grain tax revenue every year.Without the income of more than 300 million gold, Wei Guo would not affect anything.Wei Guo developed trade with the Gupta Empire, Sassanian Empire, and Roman Empire, and earned a lot of money and food every year. At this time, Wei Guo relied on the achievements of the Industrial Revolution and acted as a huge gold absorber. The wealth of the world, They all attracted Wei Guo.If Wei State stopped selling military products, the Gupta Empire, Sasanian Empire, and Roman Empire would have to fight with wooden sticks and stone axes in less than half a year.There is no way, the merchants of Wei State are too ruthless. They are crazy to open up markets all over the world, and at the same time they will directly destroy the industry, textile, food processing, transportation, handicrafts, etc. at that time. All need to be imported from Wei.Once the Wei State cuts off the supply, they will immediately return to the Stone Age.Even the salt of the Roman Empire was almost monopolized by the State of Wei. The artisans who knew how to dry salt were all working for merchants in the State of Wei.

Through economic control, Ran Ming forced the Roman Empire to recognize the status of Crown Prince of Valens. After Gergetian's death, the Roman Emperor became Valens's. Of course, the Roman Empire was too big for Wei Guo to swallow.The Wei Congress further dismembered the Roman Empire, turning the Roman Empire into dozens of small principalities.The same strategy was adopted for the Gupta Empire and the Sasanian Empire, taking it slow and boiling the frogs in warm water. Although some elites saw Wei’s sinister intentions, it was just that they had no time to exert influence, either by accident or from the world. evaporated.

This is a national policy formulated by Ran Ming. Every emperor will slowly give benefits to the public when he takes office.

There is a Yucuifang on the West Street of Yecheng, all of which are continuous mansions. This square is very distinctive, and all the people who lived here were former emperors. Here lived the Mudi Sima Dan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhang Yaoling, the king of Xiliang, and the Northern Han Dynasty. The emperor Liu Kuren.There are also countless political opponents and nobles who are ambitious to overthrow the Great Wei.

Only after Ran Ming abdicated, the guards here began to withdraw.Sima Dan secretly sighed: "Who still remembers me now!"

In fact, Sima Dan knew very well that as the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he still had some appeal in the past, but now, no one is willing to rebel with him.

I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times.Only by experiencing it can you have the deepest experience.

Not only Sima Dan, but also Zhang Yaoling, the king of Xiliang, and Liu Kuren were the ones who extinguished their own ambitions.Liu Kuren didn't have to think about it anymore, he was already dying of illness.He turned towards the Imperial Palace of Ye City and murmured: "Since I was born, how can I be born!"

Zhang Yaoling doesn't need to think about other things now, he is living a prosperous life now, he runs a leather boot factory, and his annual income is not much.

Huangdi Era [-], April, resigned from the throne, and now the Supreme Emperor Ran Ming of the Great Wei Federal Empire, accompanied by the Empress Dowager Xie Daoyun, and the Empress Dowager Liu Mo, Helena, Wang Baobao, Li Jingshu, etc. The Wei Empire's first giant ship "Ark Royal" with a displacement of more than [-] tons.

The "Royal Ark" is an experimental warship with a full load displacement of 230 tons and is equipped with nine double-mounted 32mm naval guns. This is the largest naval gun produced by the Wei State today, and the multiple has reached [-] times. .The length of the gun barrel alone is as long as [-] meters.The range of this new type of naval gun has reached an astonishing [-] meters, and it can kill almost a battalion with a single shot.As for the attack on ships, there is almost no warship in this world that can withstand its power.

Ran Ming took his daughters to visit the eldest son of the emperor who was exiled to Australia, the current king of Wei Zheng, Ran Lin.Originally, Ran Ting also had a great chance to take over the throne of Wei, but unfortunately, in the battle in 37 of the Yellow Emperor's era, he chose to be wise and protect himself. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and ran from Chenping County to Tingzhou.But Ran Yun chose to organize the government soldiers to resist resolutely. In this battle, Ran Yun suffered [-] wounds of various sizes, especially his face was disfigured.Ran Yan was still secretly happy, Ren Wei Ran Ming would never hand over the throne to a disfigured prince.However, Ran Ming still chose Ran Yun, because he didn't see in Ran Ting what an emperor should have most, responsibility.

"Your Majesty, how long will it take us to travel to reach Australia?" Xie Daoyun, as a Jiangnan native, is not seasick, but Kezuhun's family vomited faintly.But this stubborn woman never gave up the opportunity to walk with Ran Ming.

Ran Mingdao: "The design speed of Ark Royal is 22 knots per hour. The theory is that we can reach Australia in less than [-] hours."

Xie Daoyun knew the units of knots and hours mentioned by Ran Ming, and the conversion of miles and hours. She smiled and said, "It's only nine days. It turns out that Australia is not that far away!"

Ran Ming almost choked on his saliva.It's not that far away. Jinzhou or Ningyuan Prefecture in Nanyang, Great Wei is indeed not far from Australia, only less than [-] miles away, but the distance is only [-] to [-] miles, which is still a straight-line distance.If in the age of sailing, if you can reach Australia in three months, then you should burn the incense.In fact, with the development of science and technology, Wei Guo gradually shortened the distance.

Yecheng is more than 3000 miles away from Xinzhou, and now the railway has been repaired to Suiye City, which is only more than [-] miles away from Xinzhou.But also built the highway.In this way, it only takes half a month from Yecheng to Xinzhou.If it is only to reach the broken leaves, it will be faster, just seven or eight days.It turns out that even if you ride fast and change horses along the way, it will take at least four months or even half a year.As long as the speed is fast, the distance becomes far enough.

The State of Wei is currently exploring wireless telegraphy. Once the research is successful, there will no longer be a lack of communication across the border of thousands of miles.At the same time, Wei Guo is also researching propeller aircraft and civilian cargo airship technology. Once these technologies are put into use, Wei Guo will enter the space age.

Ran Yun, who originally became the emperor and was about to flex his muscles, suddenly found that he was a bit redundant as an emperor.He can hardly interfere with the big and small matters of the court.The only thing that Ran Yun can command is the more than [-] maids and eunuchs in the palace.

Ran Yun really wanted to ask Ran Ming, "Is there anyone who deceives your son like you?"

In fact, no matter how loud Ran Yun yelled, Ran Ming couldn't hear him anymore.

Ran Yun thought that when Ran Ming came back, he would ask him carefully.But this wait is forever.

After Ran Ming led the Royal Ark to sea, he disappeared from sight.

Some people say that Ran Ming did not go to Australia, but changed his route to Fusang mainland.

It is also said that Ran Ming encountered a storm and was buried in the sea.

It is also said that Ran Ming met a Taoist immortal overseas, was enlightened by the immortal, and became immortal.
