Chapter 964 The King's Teachings About Politics

Chapter 964 The teaching of the king, about politics...

"Hei Lang, as the commander of the legion, as a general who stands alone, you need not only military talents, but also familiarity with and mastery of 'politics'! ... I have high expectations for you. You can fight, It is very good to always win, very good! For alliances and kingdoms, military victory is the best political means to make people allegiance. And the wealth and people plundered by war are the most powerful economic supplements. To satisfy the interests of warriors and priests...Tupa, listen carefully, and ask me if you don't understand!"

"Yes! Your Highness!..."

Hundreds of warships were deployed on the Jihu Lake, surrounding an ordinary small boat in the middle. On the small boat, the black wolf Toltek mustered all his strength, rowing the oar vigorously, thinking seriously, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

In front of him was Eckart, the captain of the bodyguard who bowed his head and rowed the boat. Behind him was Tupa, the artillery battalion commander who opened his eyes wide and rowed his oars, listening to the king's instruction.

At this moment, Xiulot was sitting next to the black wolf, facing the sun slanting high in the west, looking at the sparkling lake, and blowing the long wind with a faint smell of sea, leisurely teaching the generals.

"If you want to preside over one party, you must understand what military, politics, economy, and ideology are, and the relationship between the four in the world..."

"In today's world, priests, warriors, and tribal people all worship leaders who can win! It is believed that the victor has the power of God and is willing to follow the strong, regardless of whether the opponent is benevolent...However, military is always The continuation of politics, it must serve politics, not the other way around..."

"Your Highness, I still don't quite understand what 'politics' you are talking about. I can't see or touch it."

Black Wolf Toltek scratched his head in distress. He naturally didn't like this kind of abstract things that required hard thinking, but His Highness kept forcing him, so he was forced to read, study and think continuously.

"The so-called 'politics', one is 'government', the other is 'governance'. For you, it is to manage a place, manage a group of people, and manage them well! The essence of politics is the support of people's hearts, so that people It's good if everyone obeys you. If people are against you... Hei Lang, don't look fierce, don't grin your teeth! Killing is never the best way. You need to divide the people under your rule and understand the needs of different classes. Then use politics to unite them..."

Shulot looked at the bewildered expression of the black wolf husky, pondered for a while, and tried to express it as simple and clear as possible.

"From my personal experience, in today's world, there are two key points in politics. One is the distribution of power, and the other is the political line...that is, who is allowed to eat with us, and choose reliable people to go on the road together .And the right to decide how much to eat and where to go should be firmly in our hands!"

"Eat? On the road? How much to eat, where to go?..."

"Yes! If we say that the seashore is a piece of corn cake, which has always been in the hands of the descendants of the gods. Then, our conquest now is to snatch this corn cake from the hands of the descendants of the gods. Therefore, For these old rulers, our contradictions are irreconcilable, so we must sacrifice them and send them to the top of the pyramid... and after the tortillas are obtained, we must follow the past credits, according to the current strength, and according to the succession Down the line, assign this stutter..."

Speaking of this, Shulot stretched out his hand and took a cornbread as dry food from the hand of the chief guard Eckart. He broke it hard, and then broke the hard pancake into two equal portions.

"The kingdom conquered the seashore by relying on the power of warriors. The legion warriors of the kingdom, the surrendered Totonac warriors...these tens of thousands of troops are our most powerful supporters and the most powerful class on the seashore So, we have to give half of this pancake to them first, to ensure that the rewards for their contributions, that is, the military merits we promised, can really be implemented..."

Seeing this, Hei Lang and Tupa nodded seriously, like two wolves, one big and one small, sitting down. Then, they watched Xiulot stretch out his hand again, take the other half of the pancake, and divide it into two again.

"From the remaining half, we took out another half and handed it over to the priests of the kingdom and the local elites on the seashore. In their hands, they have cultural knowledge and also the thoughts of the tribal people to a certain extent. We need They came to govern the seaside city-state, manage the villages of the people, and lead the tribal beliefs for the kingdom... In fact, the power they want is far more than the quarter of the pancake in my hand. And the pancake they ate, they control The power will continue to expand steadily..."

Speaking of this, Shulot paused. With a smile on his face, he looked at Hei Lang and Tupa, and asked in a testing manner.

"Hei Lang, Tupa, do you know the reason, what is it?"

"Hmm... because the priests are more cunning and will steal the pancakes from the warriors?"

Tupa tugged at his hair and tentatively replied.

"Witness of the Lord God! During the alliance, many senior priests presided over one party, and in the end they became very rich, and even became a hereditary family!..."

"Well, that's one reason. What else?"

"Uh... because those Totonak elites will continue to send women to the king, and then give birth to the king's blood?..."

Hearing Hei Lang's answer, Shulot's old face darkened. He looked at the serious Hei Lang, shook his hair, and sighed.

"Hei Lang, Miyawa gave birth to my eldest daughter Light Snake... You can be vigilant against Miyawa, but you have to protect my eldest daughter for me... In fact, I am going to let you become my eldest daughter's martial arts Teacher, get involved in her education..."

"Well, the Light Snake should be like a Mexica child, learning to fight sticks and shields, and have the physical and mental strength of a warrior! Instead of being educated by those Totonak elites, learn potions and dances, and become a What snake girl..."

Thinking of the children's education, Xiulot touched his nose, feeling a rare headache. He has no time and energy to teach his children one by one. Therefore, he had no confidence in what the children would look like... After a while, he shook his head and returned to the topic.

"Cough! The pancakes in the hands of priests and elites will keep getting bigger. The main reason is that their governance of city-states and villages will increase the output of various places, thus making the whole pancake bigger!  … "

"Increase the output of agriculture and workshops, so that a tribe can produce more wealth. Govern villages and towns, let more people multiply. Expand the scope of direct control, and bring more mountain tribes into the rule... The combination of all of these is the improvement of the kingdom's production capacity! It is also what I will talk about next, the economic interests of all levels of the kingdom..."

"Uh...Your Highness, you still have half and half of your pancake, who did you give it to?"

Black Wolf Toltek thought for a while, pointed to the last quarter of the tortilla in Shulot's hand, and asked seriously.

"Also, you only talked about how much to eat, not where to go!..."

"Haha! Not bad! Hei Lang, your question is very good!"

Shulot smiled. Looking at the last quarter of the pancake in his hand, he replied seriously.

"This seaside land, the last quarter of political power... is naturally given to followers who share a common political line and can go on the road together! And my way, my goal, in short, is 'forward, Go forward, keep going, go to the whole world!'…”

"The Lord God testifies! The road I want to take is the road to unify the world and integrate all the ministries! Therefore, all the heroes in the world must be used by me! Those who can keep up with my footsteps will run with me and share the power of the world ! And those who can't keep up, just live in a certain section of the road, and I won't be stingy with wealth..."

"Heilang, Tupa, are you willing to go forward with me to unify the world, integrate all the ministries, and condense into an empire that has never existed before?"

"Witness of the Lord God! Your Highness, you are the only sun eagle and the supreme thunder. I am willing to die for you and smash all enemies!"

"Your Highness, you are my wolf king, and I am your slave wolf! I am willing to chase after you, no matter it is the east or the west!..."

"OK!!"

Looking at the two generals bowing their heads and bowing on the deck of the ship, Xiulot laughed out loud, feeling very happy. He accurately broke the last tortilla in his hand into two pieces, one big and one small, and handed the big one to Hei Lang and the small one to Tupa.

"You walk with me, and I will share the power with you! This seaside of thousands of miles is just the beginning of our long road! The road in the world is still very long, and it will be wider than you have ever imagined!..."

Shulot looked at the vast sacrificial lake and at the looming sacred mountain in the distance to the east, and solemnly promised.

"The Lord God bless us! We will keep going, going, going!...to the other side of the endless lake!"
