The military force that protects this civilization is closely related to its own political order. When the civilization center does not have its technological crushing advantage over the surrounding areas, or when the technical level is similar, the comparison of military power under different political systems becomes the last straw that crushes the tower of civilization.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, it was undoubtedly the last technical crushing window of the Chinese classical war period. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to cause critical damage to the surrounding low-civilized areas.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu also led the troops of the two Huai Rivers to fight the last critical strike against the Yuan Dynasty. However, this critical strike was not caused by the backward and ignorance of the Yuan Dynasty's political system and could not adapt to the ruling needs of the huge empire. Therefore, Lao Zhu learned from the lessons of the powerful separatist rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty's vassal states, and the strong and weak branches of the Song Dynasty, and established a garrison mechanism in which the emperor was in charge of the central government, the royal family defended the frontier, and passed on from generation to generation with professional soldiers. This mechanism was a very efficient military mechanism under the circumstances of strong external enemies, but in peacetime, the speed of corruption in the royal family and the administration would exceed imagination...

Fei Qian found two dry branches, inserted them on the ground, and then hung his boots.

I have been wearing this kind of boot for a long time, and now I have untied it, the smell is...

Moreover, it was not Fei Qian alone, and the entire army was on the offside. It was fine if the soldiers responsible for the guard and the camp were built, but the soldiers who were on the rest were about the same as Fei Qian, who took off their armor and shook the sand, and let go of their legs and put down their boots.

Between the blue sky and clear water, there was a faint green atmosphere spreading.

Fei Qian sniffed, and he couldn't smell his salted fish, but the salted fish from others could smell it. However, the smell around him made Fei Qian's sense of smell much slower.

This is like the corruption of administration...

When you are in a closed and decaying space for a long time, you often can't smell the corruption.

Therefore, if you want to avoid large-scale corruption, you must have an outside atmosphere to make the air flow.

The Western Regions are windows, the Northern Regions are also windows, and the South China Regions are also Jiaozhi.

I don’t know how Lao Liu is doing now. The last time I said that I had some trade contacts with Jiangdong, but then there was no news.

This old Liu...

Forget it, Jiaozhi is also a marginal area of ​​civilization.

If China can successfully implement the civilized ripple policy in the Western Regions, it can also expand the fluctuations to the southern part of Jiaozhi.

Fei Qian forced artillery technology with almost one person's strength, and was also to prevent the fact that the technology in the classical military period of China was flattened by the surrounding areas, China could quickly turn into the modern chemical gunpowder period and continue to maintain its suppression on the surrounding low-civilized areas and marginal areas.

But this is just Fei Qian's personal wish. If China wants to continue to develop military technology instead of squandering the whole country, there must be enemies, and enemies may trigger the self-respect of the military generals and nobles.

This is the same as the fact that civil servants may be responsible for disasters and self-respect.

Civil officials ridicule military officers, and military officers ridicule civil servants, but the root of this is actually all interests. Such things are basically impossible to avoid in a class-based feudal dynasty.

Fei Qian waved to Zhang Liao, then signaled Zhang Liao to sit down aside and asked: "What is the strength of the Western Regions compared to Yu Han?"

"Ah?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Liao originally thought that Fei Qian asked him to come over because he wanted to talk about some military arrangements or talk about some matters after Lu Bu advanced westwardly. However, he didn't expect that Fei Qian asked this question?
