Chapter 421 Limit

Chapter 421 Limit

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

It wasn't that Zhong Yu didn't have the strength to attack, and it wasn't that he didn't have the ambition to conquer the city, but it was forced by the situation at that time.

The reason why Zhong Yu dared to attack the six southern provinces this time was not only because the southern provinces were far away from the capital of the Ming Emperor, they were too far away to support them.

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

With these two extremely important reasons, Zhong Yu dared to send troops to the south to make things worse for the Ming Dynasty.

But that's all there is to it.

The eastern and southern parts of Ming Dynasty are now basically controlled by Zhong Yu's empire, and a total of ten provinces are connected together, which greatly increases Zhong Yu's strength and background in this world, and has greater strategic depth.

These are not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Zhong Yu has a name, he can recruit the natives of this world in a righteous way, use their power for his own use, and speed up the pace of conquering this world.

Except for the southeast and southeast, the northern part of the Ming Dynasty was peeped by the Jin Dynasty, and now most of it has been occupied, and the rest has become a place of war. It is a death vortex, and whoever touches it will die.

The five provinces in the west are next to the three major powers, namely Ba, Shu, and Song.

Although these three countries are not the most prosperous among all the princes in the world, they are still in the middle reaches, and their strength is comparable to that of Han and Wei. They all have millions of soldiers and dozens of strong men 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 to attack. 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 his army strength has reached one million, he still needs to stay in as many places.

Among other things, there are 800,000 troops left behind in the local area alone. There are only 200,000 soldiers and horses that can be deployed to adapt to the situation and resist foreign enemies, which is too weak.

The ten provinces belong to the newly occupied lands, and they don't have a deep identification with the Yuguo, and even have strong repulsion and hatred, with a shallow foundation.

Now the people in many places under Zhong Yu's control are devoted to Daming, looking forward to the return of the master of Ming Dynasty to quell the chaos and regain their homeland.

Except for Dongjiang Shengli who was abandoned by Ming Dynasty, the reason why he was rescued by Zhong Yu was that he wholeheartedly supported Zhong Yu's rule.

However, Dongjiang Province is only a province, and it has been ravaged by monster soldiers, and its strength has been greatly damaged. Compared with other provinces, it is less than two-one, and it is far from becoming a foundation.

In fact, these are not major problems, and the rise of new dynasties has always faced this situation.

As long as you take some time to adjust slowly and send capable officials and generals to the localities, you will be able to straighten out the hearts of the people in more than ten years and completely take these places for your own use.

But in today's world of great controversy, more than ten years is too long, and other countries will never give Zhong Yu this time.

The most important thing is that Zhong Yu doesn't have an eighth-level master on the bright side, who can't stop the prying eyes of those evil wolves at all.

In the eyes of many powerful forces, Zhong Yu is just a clown jumping around temporarily.

It's just that there is no time now, and I will free up my hands later, Zhong Yu is just a piece of fat, let them knead and share the food.

But all this is only temporary.

Slowly accumulating strength in this world and strengthening his background, Zhong Yu is certainly not as good as those local imperial sects.

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

It has only been about two years since I came to this world, but in terms of the time ratio in the small world, it has been several years, even more than ten years, that other legions have gone to the major planes to fight, and they have already accumulated a large number of soldiers. Fei's army and strong.

Up to now, there are about 500,000 troops in the small world on standby, and about 5,000 fourth-tier mystic arts corps have been trained, and more than 30 fifth-tier troops are also waiting for orders.

The only pity is that there is no existence above the sixth order.

With these, Zhong Yu already has about 700,000 troops ready to go out at any time, including about 15,000 Mystic Master Legion, which is the trump card to suppress the national fortune, and the strength of the bottom-level army has expanded by more than half.

Coupled with the number of Tier 6 players reaching 23, their strength is no worse than that of countries such as Han and Wei on the mainland. It's just that the masters of the seventh and eighth ranks are rare and far behind.

But as long as a few years, three years or so, Zhong Yu estimates that his current strength will double again, even if the territory of Liao Zhai World has not expanded at all.

As long as there is a small world, the plundering of the heavens and worlds will not stop, and batch after batch of low-level troops will be continuously cultivated and sent to the world of Liaozhai.

And with the passage of time, the sixth-order masters will inevitably undergo qualitative changes with quantitative changes, presenting a burst of eruption.

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

...

In the Ming Dynasty in the north, with the loss of the eastern and southern provinces, the economic sources of the Ming Dynasty were completely cut off. The entire court fell into a situation of money and food shortages, and even the frontline troops could not even supply the rations of military supplies.

The nearly 400,000 troops on the front line of the imperial court were short of food and clothing, and their salaries had not been paid for a long time.

Up to now, even the defense can barely be done, completely losing the initiative of the war.

Among the seven northern provinces of Ming Dynasty, only the two provinces where 400,000 troops were stationed were left as barriers, and the rest were all fallen and thrown into the hands of other countries. Even the remaining two provinces were also galloped by the Jin army wantonly, as if entering a land of no one.

Now the power that Ming can control is only five provinces in the west, the remaining one province in the east, four provinces in the middle, and two provinces in the north, a total of 12 provinces.

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

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is militaristic to support so many troops with such a small area.

Not to mention that among the lands controlled by Daming, except for the relatively rich central part, they are all barren lands, and they are often harassed by wars, so there is not much food supply at all.

Even the imperial court's supply and rescue would not provide much help to Daming, except for adding some strategic depth.

In general, with the current situation of Ming Dynasty, it is basically difficult to deal with another addition of the Great Jin Dynasty, reaching 600,000 Southern Expedition Army.

I'm too tired to go to work today, and I really don't have the energy, so I'll post one first, and I'll add the second chapter tomorrow. By the way, does anyone still read this book? Say something.
