The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 452
[Chapter four hundred and forty seventh precarious]
The four provinces in the eastern part of the imperial court have been completely lost, and the rebels are on the rise, and they are gradually sweeping the whole country. It is difficult for the local governors and governors to contain them.
This news was quickly passed on to the entire Ming Dynasty through the provincial capitals around the area controlled by Zhong Yu.
The court was terrified, and the people panicked.
For the long-standing Ming Dynasty, there has not been such a large-scale rebellion in nearly 500 years.
Now that such a group of traitors has suddenly appeared, how can the court not be shocked and angry?
Since ancient times, a dynasty has experienced large-scale rebellions and has the trend of sweeping the whole country, which usually means that the dynasty has gradually come to an end.
And now, Zhong Yu, a traitor who has captured the four provinces, has appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Didn’t he tell the entire Ming Dynasty subjects, I am no longer in Ming Dynasty, is it time for all the ambitious people to rise up and rebel?
Never allow this to happen.
“General Gao, I will give you an army of 200,000 people. You must succeed immediately, and you will be able to pacify the rebels and eliminate the rebellion.” In the Zhengde Hall of the Daming Dynasty, the now more than 50-year-old Emperor of the Ming Dynasty confronted the current General Dingyuan Gao retreating prisoner. said.
“At the end of the day, the general will not be disgraced, and the head of the traitor will be captured in front of the hall to thank the emperor.” General Gao knelt down on one knee and replied with a solemn face.
Beside him, hundreds of court ministers lined up in two rows were looking at him with envy, jealousy, implicit expectation, or other expressions.
The glory belongs to him at this moment.
This time, in order to deal with the increasingly powerful rebels, that is, Zhong Yu, who occupied the four eastern provinces of Daming, and also arrogantly called the emperor.
The Ming emperor not only mobilized all the troops and horses his subordinates could mobilize, but a total of 100,000 people.
They also recruited new troops from the civilian population, with another 100,000 people.
In this way, the rebel army was formed this time, and the last essence of the 200,000 Ming Dynasty was handed over to Gao Tui, known as the God of War, and worshiped him as General Dingyuan.
Under the curious, terrified, and amazed eyes of countless people in Kyoto, the army of rebelliousness pulled out, slowly exited the east gate, and started the journey endlessly.
After 3 days, the army had only traveled two hundred miles, and suddenly a fast horse came running from the direction of the capital. The red dragon flag was displayed on the knight’s body, which was a signal of emergency military situation. .
“Who is that, is there any change in the capital among the three?” Gao Tulu frowned as he looked at the knight who came running.
In my heart, I remembered the fact that the three princes in the capital are competing for the throne. Is there anyone who can’t wait and wants to launch a mutiny?
Gao Tulu was contemplating, and the knight had already come to him.
“Report, the emperor urgently ordered!” the knight shouted loudly.
Hearing the words, Gao Tui quickly turned over and dismounted, and knelt down on one knee to greet him.
“The decree, General Dingyuan will immediately lead the army back to the division and go to the northern border to defend against the enemy. When the order arrives, act immediately without any mistakes.” The knight did not delay, and immediately said the order.
Back to the teacher, but also to the northern border.
Gao Tulu thought of these two orders in his heart, and couldn’t help but be puzzled.
“This messenger, why do you want to go back? Didn’t the army go to pacify the chaos according to the established plan?” Since he couldn’t understand, Gao Tuilu asked directly.
If there is no valid reason, it is not a joke to be in chaos.
“General Gao, it’s not that the emperor didn’t want to pacify the rebels, but just in the early morning of this morning, there was a sudden increase in the military situation from thousands of miles in northern Xinjiang. The 300,000-strong army of the Jin Kingdom has broken through the northern defense line, and the vanguard of 100,000 people in northern Zhili Province. In Liaodong Province, it is possible to hit the imperial city at any time, and the general has to be transferred back to retreat the enemy.” The knight gave a wry smile and told the shocking news.
“What? The northern defense line was broken, and it was almost hitting the capital.” Gao Tui was stunned when he heard the words, and said in horror.
Although he also knew about the inferior situation in the northern part of the empire, after all, there was an army of 300,000 people in the empire, and the opposite Dajin Empire was only 500,000 troops. How could it be so easy to break through the line of defense.
After all, the advantage of defense is far greater than that of offense. Without more than double the number of people, it is extremely difficult for Da Jin to break through the long-running front of the Ming Empire.
“Yeah, we didn’t expect it, but this is the case. The general should return to the division as soon as possible, so as not to change things later.” The knight was also bitter in his heart. As the imperial guard of the imperial court, he also had a certain status in front of the emperor.
Destiny can be said to be tied to Daming, one prosper and one loss are all lost, and they have long been indistinguishable from each other.
Today’s windy situation like Daming, for these stakeholders, can be described as empathy.
“Alas! The affairs of the state are difficult. I will return to the army now, and the envoy will go back to report first.” Gao Tui sighed, feeling confused about the precarious situation in Daming.
A moment later, the 200,000 army received an order that made them dizzy, and the entire army returned to the division and returned to the imperial capital.
Two days later, under the emergency march, the army quickly returned to the capital, and had not had time to rest,
The royal order came again.
The army headed for the northern Liaodong Province, where it resisted the invasion of the Great Jin Dynasty on the spot, and waited for the opportunity to retreat from the enemy and regain lost ground.
Not long after this, all the provinces, prefectures and counties in Daming also learned of the defeat in the northern part of the empire and the news of the large-scale invasion of the Jin Dynasty, which shook the whole country.
Many subjects from all over the Ming Dynasty were terrified, for fear that the war would burn to their side without knowing when, and they would also live a life full of wars.
After all, no matter how you look at it, there are large-scale traitors inside, powerful foreign enemies invaded outside, corrupt officials rampant throughout the bureaucracy, and the emperor seems obsessed with longevity and a bit stupefied, all of which are scenes of the end of the dynasty.
Often accompanied by such signs, it symbolizes that a long-standing empire is about to perish.
What will be about to kick off will be decades of war until the owner of this land is decided again.
When the northern part of Daming was invaded, the news that the capital of the country was in jeopardy spread all over the place. As Zhong Yu, who was always concerned about the situation in the Daming Dynasty, and spies scattered everywhere to spy on the news, he naturally got this extremely important news.
For Zhong Yu, this news is extremely critical and extremely important, and will determine his future strategic direction.
The energy of the Ming Dynasty was once again involved in Da Jin, and in the case of a crisis of national subjugation, the Ming court was afraid that it would no longer have the slightest energy to suppress its own rebel.
Those big armies are not valued very much by Zhong Yu, and no matter how many they come, he will be able to pull out the same amount of confrontation.
What really troubled him was the large number of powerhouses above the sixth rank, and Zhong Yu, who had a shallow background, but there was no way to pull out so many people at once, it all took time to cultivate.
But now this last concern has disappeared because of Da Jin’s intervention.
After all, as an empire standing on this continent, Dajin’s master level is no weaker than Daming’s.
Especially now that it is possible to completely destroy the Ming Dynasty and annex its land.
The Great Jin Dynasty will not keep his hands at all, presumably all his master camps have also been pushed to the front line, ready to defeat Daming in one fell swoop!
