Taking another sip of tea, Dugu Ce said leisurely: "Where is Luoyang? A place where elites gather, the largest and richest city in the world, and the center of the world. It is also the place where the top aristocrats, aristocratic families, tycoons, and rich people gather in today's world."
The status of Luoyang City in the land of China, and even the entire earth, is just like New York in Dugu Ce's previous life. It is the center of the world, and it is the city that everyone yearns for, whether they are natives or foreigners!
In fact, in the Huaxia of Dugu Ce's previous life, from the Han Dynasty to the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the center of the world and the city of heaven all appeared in the land of China!
【Favorites!flowers!score!The little brother is working hard to code words, everyone supports us a lot! ] 044, the world's powerful! [Third update] [There are also four updates today, and the next update will be around nine o'clock in the evening. 】
Dugu Ce went on to explain:
"Since it is the center of the world, the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang, no matter the aristocratic family, the Jianghu gang, or even a small peddler, are all proud of being the people of the center of the world. How can they surrender to the grassroots bandits?"
He looked at Shen Luoyan, and there was an indescribable sarcasm in his smile: "Even if Li Mi was born in a nobleman, he is already in decline now, and has degenerated into a leader of grass bandits. If he conquers Luoyang, even if Luoyang's troops are weak, the soldiers, civilians, and civilians will also be defeated." Will spontaneously resist, all the people are soldiers! Luoyan, do you know how big Luoyang City is? How many people are there in the city?"
Without waiting for Shen Luoyan to answer, Dugu Ce gave the answer himself: "Luoyang is a great city in the world, divided into three layers: the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city. The circumference of the outer layer is more than fifty miles! In a city, only There are more than 30 people living in it! In recent years, the world has been in turmoil, and wealthy families, wealthy businessmen, and even ordinary people have moved their families to Luoyang. In recent years, the population of Luoyang City has approached the 40 mark!"
He looked directly at Shen Luoyan who was stunned by his data, and smiled lightly: "Luoyan, with your wisdom, you should know what the concept of 40 people with property is. Once the whole city is mobilized, you can pull up ten people at any time. Thousands of troops! Luoyang's soldiers and civilians are fighting against grassroots bandits and defending their property and homes. There is no doubt about their determination to fight. Even if the temporary troops are not strong enough, they are fighting against the city. The city wall is a fortress and the moat is a ditch. A civilian husband can also contend against a fierce soldier!"
The more Dugu Ce talked, the more excited he became, and he said with emotion: "The city of Luoyang is rich in food and grass, and in the outer city, there is even a large piece of farmland that can be cultivated and replenished at any time. There is no shortage of equipment, and there are plenty of weapons in the official warehouses and the people. There are thousands of top craftsmen in the world, and any equipment can be repaired as soon as it is damaged! There are sufficient personnel and logistics. Even if you have hundreds of thousands of troops besieging the city for several years, Luoyang can still persist! Luoyan, you tell me, so Xiongcheng, how can your Wagang army break through?"
Wagang now has a total force of less than 50. If you attack Luoyang, which has a circumference of more than 28 miles [532 kilometers, one mile in the Sui Dynasty is about [-] meters in modern times], it will not even have enough troops to besiege the city, let alone break through Luoyang.
Shen Luoyan lost his mind and said: "Then according to what you said, no one can take down Luoyang City?"
Dugu Ce said truthfully: "In today's Luoyang, the grassroots really cannot be defeated."
Historically, Wang Shichong was able to separate one side with only one city of Luoyang. He usurped the throne and became emperor for three full years, and fought many wars with the powerful Li Clan.
Note that Wang Shichong surrendered by "Xiancheng", and the Li family only besieged Luoyang from the beginning to the end, and never forcibly attacked!
As strong as the Li family, they are unwilling to lose their troops and lose their generals. How can they have a chance to win Luoyang by storming Luoyang, a mere Wagang?
Li Mi's so-called seeking the world based on Luoyang is simply a dream of the Spring and Autumn Period, whimsical!
Shen Luoyan smiled wryly: "I'm waiting for the grassroots bandits to take over Luoyang. Could it be that only aristocrats are worthy of taking over Luoyang?"
"That's right." Dugu Ce hit mercilessly: "In today's world, only the top aristocrats with the strongest foundation and the most outstanding reputation will not be resisted by Luoyang's army and people. Luoyang soldiers and civilians, admit to being the master of Luoyang. As for the grassroots bandits, don’t expect to be the master of Luoyang! Luoyan, no matter how unwilling you are, you must admit that the current world is still dominated by powerful families!"
The patriarchal system started from the Wei period of the Three Kingdoms, starting with Cao Pi's "nine-rank Zhongzheng system", and flourished in the Jin Dynasty, so that there were no poor families for the top rank, and no noble families for the low rank.Everyone, almost from birth, has been determined by the level of their birth, and their future has been determined.
This is true class solidification.
No matter how talented you are and how hard you work, as long as you are not from a noble family, even if the king values you, you will not be able to truly integrate into the upper class circle throughout your life.And as long as you are a gentry, even if you are as stupid as a pig, you can have a place in the upper class.
Until the Sui Dynasty ruled the world, in order to stabilize the regime and fight against the powerful clans, the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty held imperial examinations, trying to pass the imperial examinations and recruit talents from the common people, so as to break the monopoly of the aristocratic clans, but with little success.
In Dugu Ce's previous life, China's patriarchal system lasted until the end of the Tang Dynasty, before it was truly ended by the successive peasant wars.
But at this time, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the clansmen were still deeply rooted, unshakable towering trees!
Dugu Ce sighed: "The powerful family system makes it possible for the rich and powerful families who account for only [-]% of the world's population to own nearly [-]% of the world's wealth. The difficulty of spreading knowledge also makes it difficult for the common people to obtain knowledge. Never worry about lack of books to read, no matter military book, war strategy or strategy of governing the country, you can learn at any time.
"Wealthy, powerful, knowledgeable, with all these advantages, how can the common people compete with them? Luoyan, in Fang's world, the only ones who can really have the last laugh are the elites. Even if the common people revolt, even if it is huge It’s nothing more than a pioneer for the king. To many common people with great ambitions, this is really unfair, but the fact is so cruel. This year... is far from the era of belonging to the common people.”
When Dugu Ce said these words, his heart was also full of embarrassment.
In the original book, why did the Buddhist sect represented by Cihang Jingzhai and Jianghu Baidao all support the Li clan?Why does Cihang Jingzhai always ignore Kou Zhong no matter how hard he tries?
Wasn't it because Kou Zhong was born as a grassroots family, while the Li Clan was one of the four great clans, deeply rooted, rich and powerful, with outstanding prestige, and naturally had a basis for ruling!
In the end, Jingzhai attached importance to Kou Zhong and regarded him as a great enemy. That was also because Kou Zhong married the Song Clan and got the support of the top clan.
Without the support of the Song Clan, Kou Zhong would not be able to be looked up to by Cihang Jingzhai for the rest of his life!
Shen Luoyan's eyes were blank, and he murmured: "Could it be that no one can make decisions for the common people and speak out for the common people? Could it be that even you can't make a plan?"
【Favorites!flowers!score!The little brother is working hard to code words, everyone supports us a lot! ] 045, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the immortal is the biggest [Fourth update] "I can betray my own class, represent the common people, and fight against the powerful."
Dugu Ce smiled, leaned his upper body forward, and looked at Shen Luoyan forcefully: "But why should I do this? Luoyan, can you give me a reason?"
Individuals who betrayed their class of origin have been everywhere since ancient times.
Besides, Dugu Ce was just an ordinary citizen in his previous life, and because of his luck, he got an inheritance from the ancients by accident, and then embarked on the path of cultivation and became the last monk in the 21st century.
With his true background and his cultivating disposition of "the sky is big and the earth is big, the immortal is the greatest, gods block gods, and Buddhas block Buddhas", even if he became a nobleman today, he didn't pay attention to the powerful family. .
In his eyes, there is no difference between aristocrats and peddlers.
This is why he can always maintain a polite demeanor when dealing with people at the bottom of society.
As long as the other party doesn't provoke him, he can still be courteous even if he asks a beggar on the street for directions.But if the other party prevents him from ascending to immortality and becoming a Taoist, no matter whether it is a refugee beggar, a powerful nobleman, or the emperor Lao Tzu, he will kill him with a single sword.
However, he doesn't care about his family background, and he doesn't look down on people at the bottom of society, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to lead the common people to a big counterattack.
The general trend of history, if you follow it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will perish.
If Dugu Ce follows the trend, he will get twice the result with half the effort if he is born as a nobleman who is the son of the top family and is taking over the world.
Even if the Dugu clan is not down-to-earth, has no foundation in the local area, does not have its own army and territory, with the talent of the Dugu strategy, as long as it is assisted by the prestige of the Dugu clan, he can still succeed easily.
However, if he wants to go against the trend, represent the common people against the elites, and conquer the world, then even with his talent and foresight of history, he must abandon his great career of cultivation and devote all his energy to rebellion In the great cause, there is only hope of success.
After success, of course he can continue to practice, but why should he waste time and energy?
"I need a reason."
He stared at Shen Luoyan, with a gentle smile, but his eyes were indifferent: "A reason that makes me feel that the gains are greater than the sacrifices."
Regardless of past and present lives, Dugu Ce's goal is always to ascend to the sky, to achieve great freedom and bliss.
