The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 464

[Chapter 459 Limits]

After attacking the six southern provinces, Zhong Yu did not continue to attack, but stopped to recuperate and accumulated strength.

It wasn’t that Zhong Yu didn’t have the spare power to attack, and it wasn’t that he didn’t have the ambition to attack the city, but the situation at that time forced him.

The reason why Zhong Yu dared to attack the six southern provinces this time was because the southern provinces were far away from the capital of the Great Ming Emperor and were beyond reach, making it difficult to support them.

It is also because the neighboring countries adjacent to the six southern provinces are weaker than Daming, and they are also caught in the flames of war. They are still too busy to protect themselves, let alone external expansion.

With these two extremely important reasons, Zhong Yu dared to send troops south to attack the Ming Dynasty.

But that’s all there is to it.

The eastern and southern parts of Daming are now basically under the control of Zhong Yu’s empire, and a total of ten provinces are connected together, which greatly increases Zhong Yu’s strength and heritage in this world, and has a greater strategic depth.

That’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Zhong Yu has a name, so he can recruit the natives of this world in a righteous way, and use their power to speed up the pace of attacking this world.

In addition to the southeast two, the northern part of Daming was peeped by Dajin. Now most of it has been occupied, and the rest has become a place where the war is burning. It is a death vortex, whoever touches will die.

The five western provinces are close to the three major powers, namely Ba, Shu, and Song.

Although these three kingdoms are not the most prosperous among all the princes in the world, they are still in the middle, and their strength is comparable to that of Han and Wei. They all have one million soldiers and dozens of powerhouses above the sixth rank.

The most important thing is that these three countries have formed a strategic alliance, and there are no powerful enemies around them. They can gather millions of troops to attack other countries at any time, which should not be underestimated.

Although Zhong Yu now occupies ten provinces and has one million troops, there are just as many places he needs to stay behind.

If nothing else, there are a total of 800,000 defenders left behind.

The only 200,000 soldiers and horses that can be deployed to defend against foreign enemies are too weak.

The ten provinces belong to the newly occupied territories, and their identification with the Imperial Kingdom is not deep, and they even have strong rejection and hatred, and their foundation is shallow.

Now many local people controlled by Zhong Yu have their hearts on Daming, looking forward to the return of Daming Wang Shi to pacify the chaos and regain their homeland.

Except for Dongjiang Shengli, who was abandoned by Daming, because he was rescued by Zhong Yu, he firmly supported Zhong Yu’s rule.

But Dongjiang Province is only one province, and it has suffered from the turmoil of demon soldiers, and its strength has been greatly damaged.

In fact, these are not big problems. The rise of new dynasties has always faced this situation.

As long as you take some time to adjust slowly and dispatch competent officials to local areas, after more than ten years, you will be able to straighten out the hearts of the people and completely take these places for your own use.

But in today’s world of great competition, more than ten years is too long, and other countries will not give Zhong Yu this time at all.

The most important thing is that Zhong Yu doesn’t have an eighth-order master who is on the bright side, and he can’t stop the peeping eyes of those evil wolves.

In the eyes of many major forces, Zhong Yu is just a clown who jumps around temporarily.

It’s just that I don’t have time now, I’ll free up my hands later, Zhong Yu is just a piece of fat, let them knead and share.

But all this is only temporary.

In this world, slowly accumulating strength and strengthening the background, Zhong Yu is of course not comparable to the local imperial sects.

Don’t forget that Zhong Yu also has a small world that can travel through the heavens and the world. He can plunder the resources of the heavens and the world and feed himself back, which is far better than those of the natives in this world.

It only took about two years to come to this world, but the time ratio in the small world is converted. It has been a few years for other legions to go to the major planes to fight, and even more than ten years ago, they have already accumulated a batch of different numbers. The army and the strong of the Philippines.

By now, there are about 500,000 troops in the small world ready to prepare, and more than 5,000 fourth-order mysterious armies have been trained, and more than 30 fifth-order troops are also waiting for orders.

The only pity is that there is no more than sixth-order existence.

With these, Zhong Yu already has about 700,000 troops ready to go out at any time. Among them, the troop of 15,000 occultists, who are the trump cards to suppress the national fortune, has increased the strength of the lower-level army by more than half.

Coupled with the sixth-order number of 23, the strength is no worse than that of countries such as Han and Wei on the mainland.

It’s just the seventh-order and eighth-order masters, some of which are rare, and the difference is too far.

However, in a few years, or about three years, Zhong Yu estimates that his current strength will be doubled several times, even if the territory in Liaozhai World has not expanded at all.

As long as there are small worlds, the plundering of the heavens and the world will not stop, and batches of lower-level troops will be continuously cultivated.

Then send it to the world of Liao Zhai.

With the passage of time, the six-level masters will inevitably undergo qualitative changes along with the quantitative changes, presenting an eruption in the form of gushing.

It is not impossible for the number of people to reach more than 50 by then.

The Ming Dynasty in the north, UU reading www.uukanshu.

With the loss of the eastern and southern provinces, the economic sources of the Ming Dynasty were completely cut off, and the entire court fell into a situation of money and food difficulties, and even the front-line army could not even supply the rations of military salaries and materials.

The army of nearly 400,000 troops on the front line of the entire court was in a situation of lack of food and clothing, and the military salaries had not been paid for a long time.

Up to now, even the defense can only barely do it, and the initiative in the war has been completely lost.

Among the seven northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, only two provinces, where 400,000 troops were stationed, were left as barriers, and the rest were all occupied and thrown into the hands of other countries.

Even the remaining two provinces were galloped recklessly by Dajin’s army, as if they were in a no-man’s land.

At present, the power that Daming can control is only the five western provinces, the remaining eastern province, the four central provinces, and the northern two provinces, a total of 12 provinces.

And the army he needs to support, in addition to the 400,000 troops in the north, there are 300,000 in the west, 200,000 in the middle, and 100,000 in the east, a total of one million.

It is no exaggeration to use such a small site to support so many troops.

Not to mention that the areas under Daming’s control, except for the richer central areas, are all barren areas, often harassed by wars, and there is not much food supply at all.

Even the supply and rescue of the imperial court will not provide much help to Daming, except to increase some strategic depth.

In general, in the current situation of Daming, it is basically enough to deal with another increase in the Jin Dynasty, reaching 600,000 troops in the Southern Expedition.

I’m too tired from work today, I really don’t have the energy, so I’ll post one first, and I’ll make up for the second chapter tomorrow.

By the way, does anyone still read this book?

Squeak something.
