The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 453

[Chapter 448 Shuffle]

Now that he knew that the energy of the Ming Dynasty was involved, and there was no way to deal with him, Zhong Yu would naturally let go of his hands and feet to fight.

Previously, because the other party had the nuclear power of the eighth-order masters, Zhong Yu held back in everything he did, and did not dare to make too many moves, so as not to attract a sense of crisis in the Ming Dynasty, so he directly dispatched masters to suppress himself.

But now the eighth-order masters of the Ming Dynasty have been attracted by the masters of the same level of the Jin Dynasty, and they cannot make any moves.

Moreover, Daming has also reached the crisis moment of destroying the country. All his energy is focused on defending the capital and defending the northern border, and he has no regard for the defense of other provinces.

After all, whether it is the eastern, southern or western provinces, losing one or two will not endanger the survival of the Ming Dynasty at all.

But if Liaodong Province, north of the capital, wanted to let the enemy drive down and besiege the capital, then the Ming Dynasty would really come to a point of demise.

Which of these is more important, even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is stupid, he can still think clearly.

In today’s world, a city that can be called an imperial capital is not that simple.

It must meet several important conditions.

With a population of more than 10 million, it is strong enough to defend the eighth-order defense formation, enough earth veins and dragon energy, and can control the terrain of countless surrounding areas.

These conditions are the basics of an imperial capital, and they are the conditions for a dynasty to guard the whole country.

Basically, an imperial capital occupies 1/10 of the country’s essence, and it is an important and inseparable territory of a country, and the key to it is self-evident.

If the Ming Dynasty really lost the imperial capital, then it would mean that he lost the orthodoxy, and all the northern provinces would be lost. Even the eastern and western provinces would not be able to be preserved. In the end, it would be good to be able to retreat in the south.

As for rebuilding an imperial capital, don’t even think about it without his hundreds of millions of people. The already broken Ming Dynasty has a population of tens of millions in the southern region, and it still has this ability.

So for Zhong Yu, the threat of the Ming Dynasty has completely left, and it is impossible to appear again for at least 34 years.

For him, what he needs to think about now is how to take advantage of the weakness of the Ming Dynasty to swallow more territory.

And in this period of time to develop and strengthen their own power, the most important thing is to cultivate their own powerhouses above the sixth rank, so that they can gain a firm foothold in this world.

When the Dajin Empire broke through the Ming Dynasty defense line, and the army pointed directly at the imperial capital, two months had passed since Zhong Yu captured the four eastern provinces.

In the past two months, Zhong Yu began to recruit troops on a large scale, and rectified the local bureaucracy, expel all those corrupt officials who he did not trust or who had a bad reputation, and then replaced them with his own training. Those trustworthy officials of the direct line came to power.

Although a lot of officials rebelled in the process, causing Zhong Yu some small troubles, but after suppressing all these troubles and replacing them with officials he trusted, Zhong Yu’s ruled areas were thoroughly sorted out and controlled. getting deeper.

The rectification of officials has been carried out very well, and with the change of blood in the officialdom, the people of these four provinces are all praised, and they all think that the Zhongyu faction is a good government that really considers the people.

However, in terms of joining the army, it was extremely unsatisfactory.

The specific reason is that although the people recognize Zhong Yu’s rule, they do not think that Zhong Yu’s power can really take hold here and continue for a long time.

What is the meaning of an empire, and what kind of powerful power it represents in the Ming Dynasty, even a flat-headed commoner knows it clearly.

The power of destroying the sky and destroying the earth, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, and suppressing everything is not something that Zhong Yu’s army can resist alone.

Especially the powerful families and sects in various places can see this very clearly, so they are also the most indifferent, maybe they don’t know how to laugh at Zhong Yu in secret.

However, with the victory of the Jin Empire in the northern border, the Ming Dynasty was in jeopardy, and the news that the capital was at stake, everything changed.

Judging from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the east is the boundless mountain forest of more than 3,000 miles that the Yellow Mountain Demon King occupies. It is the most natural and reliable absolute defense, and it is impossible for other countries to invade.

Five of the seven inland provinces in the Ming Dynasty were eastern provinces, which shows the importance and security of the east.

This is also why Zhong Yu has just occupied the four eastern provinces, and the imperial army can’t wait to send troops to quell the rebellion. Even if he is facing the crisis of unstable governance all over the country, he must grit his teeth and pull out 200,000 troops to suppress it.

This is because the eastern provinces are the most important places for the court’s money and food,

Without the huge army maintained by the imperial courts in the eastern provinces on the frontier, it could collapse at any time.

As for the provinces in the other three directions of the Ming Dynasty, they all bordered other countries and were threatened at any time.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has been involved in the military, and the remaining defenders are extremely weak, they can’t stop the attack of Zhong Yu’s army, let alone counterattack.

This situation means that the country now established by Zhong Yu is not a short-lived dynasty, and it is very likely to last for decades, and it is not impossible to directly replace the Ming Dynasty.

With these conditions, the families and sects around the world who are watching, as well as the common people who are timid and timid, have completely activated their minds.

Changed from the indifference of the past, everyone actively joined Zhong Yu’s forces, which made the recruiting station under his command overcrowded.

After March, the war in the north of the Ming Dynasty became more and more tragic. More manpower and material resources were mobilized to the northern battlefield to form more troops to resist and counterattack the attack of the Jin Dynasty.

In the four provinces under Zhong Yu’s command, the training of the new army has finally come to an end.

The rise of each new force represents a reshuffle of local forces.

The same is true of Zhong Yu’s newly entered empire in the four eastern provinces.

Countless big families, big landlords, and sects representing the foundational power of the imperial court fell and faced the fate of being purged.

There are also countless family sects that have maintained their neutrality and even followed suit.

As a result, Zhong Yu has recruited a total of 300,000 new troops in the four provinces this time, all of which are soldiers of Tier 3 or above.

Coupled with Zhong Yu’s remaining army, the number of his army exceeded 740,000.

These armies, apart from the 80,000 left-behind legions, were finally able to come up with 420,000 mobile troops as the basis and capital for his next siege.

A new round of expansion is about to begin.
