Chapter 440 Premonition
Time advances again, and it has been two years since the Ming Dynasty attacked the four eastern provinces.
In the past two years, although the Ming Dynasty launched several ferocious attacks, the defenses of the four eastern provinces were still extremely strong. Even the Ming Dynasty could not even invade the hinterland, and could only create some turmoil in the periphery of the four provinces.
Long before the start of the war, Zhong Yu had mobilized the soldiers below, telling them clearly that if the enemy was kept out of the four provinces, then the common people in the four provinces would be able to enjoy peace.
And if the army of the Ming Dynasty enters the four provinces, even if all the newly recruited troops surrender, the business will become the next south and be completely smashed into ruins.
For this, all the newly recruited local troops in the four provinces are extremely confident.
The 400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, of the Legion directly under Zhong Yu were able to let the armies of these four provinces know their own gaps, thus extinguishing any thoughts they shouldn't have.
Therefore, in order to prevent their hometown and relatives from suffering from the war, these newly recruited troops can only fight desperately, firmly block the enemy from the four provinces, and defend the enemy from the gate of the country.
With all the troops desperately fighting, how could the 600,000 crusade army in Damingna defeat the enemy and win the victory with a number of millions?
Even because of the superiority in numbers, the army of the Ming Dynasty often lost battles and lost a lot of manpower.
After a fierce offensive for a period of time, these crusades found helplessly that they could not push all the way with a fierce offensive like the south.
Therefore, the preparations for resupply after laying down the territory were completely in vain. When the army of the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses, when the number dropped to 300,000, they had to retreat and rest, and the war came to a standstill.
Counting the time, it has been five years since the Ming Dynasty sent troops to crusade against the Yu Kingdom.
After such a long time, more than half of the entire Ming Dynasty has been destroyed.
The northern part of the Ming Dynasty was smashed by the confrontation between the Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. The south has also become a land of ruins due to the crusade against the Yu Kingdom, and it has not yet recovered.
The eastern part was also ravaged by military disasters because of the war that had just started. Except for the four provinces of Yuguo, because they firmly blocked the enemy from the border, they were less affected. The two remaining provinces of the Ming Dynasty were ravaged by their own army and suffered terribly.
In this way, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, since the Huangshan Demon King's uprising seven years ago, there has never been a year of peace of mind.
Up to now, because of the perennial wars, coupled with the continuous large-scale disasters and the spread of the plague, it can be said that Ming Dynasty has completely become a hell on earth.
I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times.
This is the aspiration of all the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty.
Due to the serious damage to the domestic economy, the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to launch a crusade. Especially when the war in the east was unfavorable, it did not obtain certain benefits from the east.
Even because of the persistence of the east and the huge military power, the emperor of Ming Dynasty is already thinking whether to ask his ancestors to take action, personally wipe out the rebel in the east with his powerful strength, and then use the wealth of the east to subsidize Daming's finances were already in deficit.
However, due to various reasons, as well as the concerns of neighboring countries, this proposal was not passed and shelved. However, regarding the offensive and crusade of the Imperial Kingdom, they did not stop discussing, but they were only slowly accumulating strength.
However, at the time when the Great Ming Dynasty Hall was full of unwillingness and had no choice but to retreat, Zhong Yu's Yuguo was also slowly accumulating enough strength during this long period of recuperation.
First of all, the low-level corps trusted by Zhong Yu at the bottom has slowly accumulated a certain amount through these years of plundering in the Ten Thousand Realms, and now it has reached a scale of one million.
Although not many, it is still possible to control half of Daming's country.
Then there are those sixth- and seventh-tier masters. The number of local masters has not increased much. Even because of Zhong Yu's current situation, some sixth- and seventh-tier powerhouses have left Yuguo's camp without saying a word. trace.
However, the number of masters recruited from other worlds has gradually increased, and has even surpassed the local powerhouses in this world.
There are 137 sixth-tier powerhouses, of which there are only 46 local powerhouses, and there are 91 other powerhouses cultivated by Zhong Yu himself.
Seventh-order powerhouses also reached 25 people, and there were only two locals, and the rest were powerhouses recruited from all walks of life.
From these data, it can be seen that as the development in other worlds proceeds slowly, the denials formed in the end will become larger and larger, and even directly form a Tier 6 legion to completely suppress all the strong in this world. No more delusion.
As for Zhong Yu himself, under the support of countless resources, his cultivation has reached the peak of the seventh level, and he is only a step away from the eighth level, and he may enter at any time.
However, for some reason, it may be due to the restrictions of the emperor's cultivation, just like the founding emperors of various empires in this world, all of them have eighth-level cultivation and have a long lifespan.
But these emperors who suppressed a generation all abdicated and passed on to their own heirs within a few years after the establishment of the empire, and they themselves became the Supreme Emperor, similar to the existence of worship, silently guarding the empire they founded.
Is it true that these emperors are selfless and have no attachment to power? Of course not, they raised troops because of their pursuit of power.
So there must be some reason for the restriction, not allowing the powerhouse who has reached the sixth level to become the emperor of a dynasty.
As for the reason, Zhong Yu is not very clear, it may be the restriction of heaven, or it may be some other reasons.
But these emperors did not dare, or could not become the eighth rank, so Zhong Yu didn't have so many worries. After he reached the bottleneck in his cultivation, he had a feeling in the dark.
As long as Zhong Yu can establish an empire in this world, and the scale must at least reach the basic level of Ming Dynasty, then he can rely on the power of the personality of this empire to make offerings, and his cultivation level will break through the eighth level in one fell swoop.
This premonition came from nowhere, but Zhong Yu had a feeling of incomparable trust, as if this premonition had always been like this.
Therefore, Zhong Yu finally has enough confidence to compete with the major dynasties at that time.
Previously, Zhong Yu was only worried that he did not have an eighth-level powerhouse and suffered a crushing defeat in high-level combat power, so he had to give in to the attack of the Ming Dynasty.
Now that I know that I will also break through to the eighth level of cultivation, I can't bear it anymore, so I immediately decided to attack the army and counterattack on a large scale.
