He used the same techniques of retaining local government with provincial governors appointed by him. It's just that he had a much vaster area to control.

The Persian Empire was an absolute monarchy which was divided into provinces called satraps. King Cyprus allowed each satrap to maintain a certain degree of ethnic and religious autonomy, provided that they respected the authority of the sovereign. Each of the satraps also had to contribute to the massive Persian armies which were used to bring all non-Persians under Persian rule.

This level of autonomy was unheard of in previous empires and greatly endeared the conquered peoples to Cyrus, especially given the previous repressive and destructive nature of the Babylonians and the Assyrians.

How was Cyrus's rule different from earlier empires?

One major difference in Cyrus's rule was his policy of tolerance towards conquered peoples and their religions. He allowed them to practice their own customs and beliefs, which fostered a sense of inclusivity and helped maintain stability within the empire. Additionally, Cyrus employed a more decentralized system of governance, allowing local rulers to maintain power in their own regions, which helped to prevent outright rebellion and allowed for greater administrative efficiency.
