Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1274: Chapter 1228: Laying Out a Plan for the World

As for what happens when the political system or regime that the aristocratic families experiment with in this country has issues and gets overthrown, Chen Xi wouldn’t mind at all. If it gets overthrown, it means it’s not suitable. Revolution is also an inevitable process.

During the revolution, a new political system may emerge in that country, and then it can be seized. This new system might be very suitable for that country. The establishment of this super empire is precisely to ensure the successful seizing of other countries’ systems and the fruits of victory of their regimes, isn’t it?

Such a large country, with such strong power guarantees, is precisely waiting for the hundreds of small countries in its own garden to bloom and bear fruit, so it can pluck the fruits and eat them, right?

The fruits of cultural thoughts can wait and settle for a few hundred years for harvesting, but these fruits that might emerge in ten or so years, even if they aren’t a great supplement, can also allow one to taste the flavor.

Setting up such a large vegetable garden is indeed to pick fruits. Although the main purpose initially was to send out extra gardeners from their own family to ensure internal forces remain clean, as a strategist for a hundred generations, it’s too low-grade not to calculate more.

”Here can grow an empire. My original plan was to divide a tenth of that country to you as your foundation.” Chen Xi pointed at Parthia and said.

A tenth of Parthia is about the size of Yanzhou in the Central Plains, especially considering Parthia is a combination of a grain-producing and horse-producing land, a very good piece of land. Of course, Yanzhou is relatively smaller among the Thirteen Provinces of Great Han.

”A tenth is too small, and traveling thousands of miles, the Chen family’s estate and business are vast. Once we go, there might be no chance of returning.” Chen Shang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. He had already entered the mindset: that which must be argued for, must be argued for!

The millennium-old mistake of aristocratic family struggles has been discovered, and they, the Chen family, should act as pioneers in the world that Yani Huang’s many generations have never laid eyes on. At least the one controlling the Chen family is the family head they trust very much—Chen Xi.

The past mistakes are irrevocable, thus it’s even more necessary to be vigilant in the future, and every word spoken now concerns the future of the Chen family. Naturally, Chen Shang would strive!

”A tenth is still an Yanzhou.” Chen Xi said irritably, ”Moreover, that place is not just a grain-producing area but also a horse-producing area. Having a tenth is already considering my status as the Chen Family Head, that’s a tenth of an empire!”

”There are also quality minerals there.” Seeing Chen Shang about to speak again, Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, ”I wouldn’t be so unfair to you. The problem is, I’ve already given you Jizhou, which is as good as the head of Nine Provinces, what more do you want?”

”I’m letting you build a semi-independent kingdom, not letting you establish an independent empire!” Chen Xi scolded softly, ”If the given area is larger, can you control the ambitions of the younger generation?”

Countless millennia-old families have perished because the young generation couldn’t stand the elders pointing and dictating over their heads, so they wiped out the old generation, aggressively pushed forward, hoping to climb to the top, only to end up with broken homes and perished families!

Chen Shang and Chen Guang smiled bitterly; they indeed couldn’t maintain any advantage in front of Chen Xi. After a moment of silence, Chen Guang spoke, ”Then should we start preparing to send people to the Western Regions now?”

”Gather the outstanding younger generation in the family and send them to the Western Regions as pioneers, the area I mentioned hasn’t even been fought over yet.” Chen Xi’s expressionless words made Chen Shang choke. They thought they could govern once they went over...

”Don’t think it’s that easy. Without this kind of transition, many people won’t accept it. There must be a show of effort, even if no one dies, once we’re there, we have the qualifications.” Seeing Chen Shang’s unsatisfied expression, Chen Xi said flatly.

”I can understand this.” Both Chen Guang and Chen Shang nodded, indicating their understanding.

”Rest assured, those not on the battlefield will maintain the political situation in the rear. What you need to do is to make the locals accept your rule. After all, my appearance differs from theirs to some extent. First practice in the Western Regions, you can rest assured about Parthia,” Chen Xi said calmly.

Zhuge Liang might not do such things as kicking someone when they’re down in Parthia, but before Zhuge Liang goes, Chen Xi will teach him what it means to have no diplomacy for weak nations. Although Li Jue’s approach is simple and crude, Chen Xi thinks it’s quite good.

A year later, if Great Qin sends troops to Parthia, our reinforcements would surely be there too. First, weaken Great Qin along with Parthia, stabilize the territory after a few years, and then follow Great Qin to directly destroy Parthia. With Li Jue’s courage and moral standards, doing such things is completely stress-free.

Chen Xi never believed that two empires so close could become allies. The best allies of empires are all dead people, especially with the premise that the entire world has only one empire and the surrounding small countries are tightly united around the empire.

As for breach, Li Youu has already ordered people to find Han people very proficient in the Parthian language to study. The Great Han Dynasty did not form an alliance with Parthia, only Li Jue and Guo Si did. Later, Li Jue can let the empire take the blame.

Therefore, Chen Xi has no pressure on killing Parthia and dipping a toe in the Mediterranean Sea. Why should the Mediterranean Sea be your Romans’ bath? Our Great Han Dynasty will soak our feet in it. If you’re not convinced, come and fight me!

In terms of taking the blame for the empire, Li Youu thinks it’s no problem at all. When Li Jue and Guo Si destroy Parthia, they can relocate Li and Guo Si’s family members there, let them not come back, and demarcate a place to establish a state and become Feudal Lord Kings, saving everyone the trouble.

As for why establish a state, the statement ’I took the blame for the empire’ is enough. The emperor is far off, and whatever you do, Li Jue, is out of sight, out of mind in that place!

”Family Head, Parthia should count as a strong empire in your words. Is such disdainful speech somewhat inappropriate?” Chen Shang, after all, a cautious person, couldn’t help but worry after hearing Chen Xi’s words.

”You can rest assured on this. Parthia is asking our country to deal with other empires, so both of you can rest assured. As for the safety of the Chen family’s younger generation, we will deploy the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and Vanguard Camp by then.” Chen Xi smiled and said with such a powerful corps, whether in a tight spot or not, they can fight their way in and out multiple times no problem.

That being said, it is a great pity that the Flying Bear and Vanguard, and Great Halberdier die at the hands of their own people. Such extremely strong elite troops weren’t exhausted on the way of charging for the empire but were consumed by the empire itself, who knows when they can be cultivated again.

Chen Shang and Chen Guang were both greatly pleased. Now, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is recognized as formidable in battle, and the versatility of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is also acknowledged by the world. As for the Vanguard Camp, if one were to choose the most capable elite troops today, it would definitely be the Vanguard Camp.

[However Wolf Cavalry and Vanguard, aren’t these belonging to Bingzhou? It has already been confirmed to lean towards them? Liu Xuande is indeed unexpectedly strong.] Both Chen Shang and Chen Guang couldn’t help but think.
