Chapter 443: The World Is in Turmoil

Chapter 443: The World Is in Turmoil

In fact, in the past few years, not only the Ming Dynasty has been precarious, with constant internal and external troubles, but other surrounding dynasties are not much better. It can even be said that the whole world is in turmoil.

Now that the power of humanity is weakening and the way of monsters is rising, the general trend of the human race is slowly fading. Although the power is still far greater than that of the monster race, the trend of internal turmoil is hard to cover up.

The whole world has fallen into a world of great controversy, just like the previous Dajin invasion of Ming Dynasty, it wasn't that Dajin was really brave and good at fighting and liked to invade, but the situation had to be like this.

In the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, a powerful empire has begun to rise. For decades, it has attacked cities and destroyed countries one after another, defeating countless powerful enemies.

Up to now, the territory of the Great Han has expanded several times, gathering hundreds of states (the provinces of the same Ming Dynasty), with more than ten million soldiers, and they are all brave and good at fighting. comparable.

In addition to the Great Han in the North, the Great Qin in the Northwest, the Great Tang in the South, the Great Sui in the Southwest, and the Great Zhou in the Middle, these five powerful empires have emerged and have begun to eliminate and annex the surrounding empires one after another.

After tens or hundreds of years of hard work, initial results have been achieved, and they have gradually become the five strongest empires at that time, each possessing power several times greater than that of ordinary dynasties.

In this world, because of the annexation of these tens of hundreds of years, the number of countries has changed from more than a hundred countries to more than 30 countries today, and the number has been greatly reduced.

This also means that the power of the human race is slowly gathering, and it also means that the scale of future wars will become larger and more tragic.

In the end, when the power of the human race reaches its peak, it is time to start to decline, and this speed will be very fast.

Just like during the Warring States Period, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were finally annexed by the Qin State, although the power of the country was unified and formed an unprecedentedly powerful empire. But Qin's glory hadn't lasted long, and it collapsed in an instant, and then internal chaos continued.

In the early days of the founding of the Great Han Dynasty, the strength of the Han Dynasty was barely even one-fifth of that of the early Qin Dynasty, and it was extremely weak in dealing with foreign enemies.

This is the so-called prosperity and decline.

The same is true for the human race in the world of Liaozhai today. Countries annexed each other and finally formed an unprecedented empire.

Then after the empire ruled for a short period of time, the glory was completely dissipated, and the human race began a large-scale internal friction, and the remnants of dynasties in various places began to rise up and fight each other.

In the end, the foundation and essence of the entire human race were exhausted, and the monster race took advantage of this opportunity to rise up, just like the Huns did to the Han, they continued to plunder the human race, causing the human race to decline completely and slowly.

Over the past few years, the Dahan's aggression against Dajin has never stopped.

Dajin originally had more than 30 prefectures, but under the erosion of Dahan, there are only 21 prefectures left, and its strength has shrunk by more than 1/3.

If it continues like this, the Great Jin will only become weaker and weaker, and finally fall to a critical point. It will be swallowed by the Han Dynasty and become the country that was wiped out by the Han Dynasty before.

Under such circumstances, the Jin Dynasty could only find a way to break the situation.

Let them rectify the court, train the army, and fight the Han Dynasty to the death, of course they dare not.

That's just hitting a stone with an egg, and even if you take action with those countries around the big man, it may not be very effective.

Just like Zhong Yu's original Warring States Period in world history, it is not that the six countries in the Kanto region of the Qin Empire have never formed an alliance in the face of the aggressive Great Qin Empire. But in the end, due to various reasons, all of them ended in failure or barely a tie, and none of them succeeded.

The same is true of the Great Jin Dynasty. He participated in three joint verticals before, but all of them were cracked by the Great Han Dynasty. He even lost cities and lands one after another, making this place even weaker.

When the initiative to solve the main problem failed, the Ming Dynasty could only find another way and find solutions from other directions.

Since I can't win against the Han Dynasty, I'm ceding a little bit of territory to the Han Dynasty every year. If this continues, it will definitely not work, and it will perish sooner or later.

Then I think about it in a different way. I can't win the Han Dynasty, but can I still win the dynasties around me that are weaker than me?

As soon as this idea came out, it immediately won the welcome of the Jin Dynasty, and began to think of countless ways to discuss his possibility for this goal.

After thinking about it, at this time, there are many hidden dangers inside oneself, corrupt officials can be seen everywhere, and one's own corruption is incomparable, and the combat effectiveness is not much.

And most importantly, the weak measures taken by the Ming Dynasty in the face of the Huangshan Demon King and the incompetence shown by the army completely made everyone in the Dajing Dynasty make up their minds.

Go find trouble with the Ming Dynasty.

It would be good to be able to grab one or two pieces of land. Even if it is not possible, the Ming Dynasty should spit out some money and food to subsidize the finances of Dajin who cannot make ends meet due to the high military expenditures for many years.

Then Da Jin made his move.

The 300,000 elite Central Army of the Jin Dynasty went out to fight. As the elite who often fought against the regular army of the Han Dynasty, this 300,000 army can be said to have experienced many battles, experienced various experiences, and their strength is indescribable. of.

Then this large army succeeded and captured the two northern provinces of Ming Dynasty. Although reinforcements from Daming came later, the invincible army's offensive was slightly hindered and became a bit difficult.

However, the Great Jin Dynasty, which was dazzled by the territory of these two provinces, soon decided to send additional reinforcements. Hundreds of thousands of troops went south again, and once again defeated the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty. give up.

At this time, there was even a call from the top and bottom of the Jin Dynasty to completely send troops to attack the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, capture the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and completely annex the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty can be completely annexed to the Great Jin, then the strength of the Great Jin will be completely restored, even much better than in its heyday.

You know, Daming has a territory of 28 provinces, seven more provinces than the current Dajin, and its overall strength is much stronger than Dajin. The reason why it is so weak now is that the internal system is too corrupt, and the whole system is so rotten that it will lose one after another.

But no matter what Da Jin thinks, Da Ming is good. , as an empire, there is still a bit of foundation. With the efforts of the whole court, the goal of Dajin was not successful after all.

Their footsteps were firmly controlled within the five northern provinces, and they couldn't even expand a single province. All ambitions became delusions.

This was the case in the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was the same in other small dynasties, such as the Han and Wei countries bordering the south of the Ming Dynasty.

Today, the south of the Han and Wei countries are facing the invasion and encroachment of the southern overlord, the Tang Dynasty.
