Rise of Another World: I Have an Empire System

In April of the 14th year of Jingxi, Emperor Yongwei of the Ming Dynasty reactivated Lan Shaoqun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, as the governor of Fengzhou. The third province!

On the ninth day of May, when the Ming army went south and arrived at Yangqu County, Yangjun County, the border city between Lifeng and Lifeng, they were unexpectedly attacked by local regiment soldiers. He ordered his subordinates, Qianhu Maqi, to set up cannons and bombard Yangqu County. After an hour and a half, the thin rammed earth walls of Yangqu County were collapsed by the Ming army's cannons.Looking at the soldiers of the Ming army swarming in, the county magistrate of Yangqu fled in disguise with his family members, while the officials of the county government had no choice but to surrender with their seals!So the world lamented that if Yiyangqu fell, no one in the entire county office would die for Xia Ting. It really is the end of Guozuo, and the sky is going to perish in Xia!

Xianmu Ridge is less than [-] miles away from Fengzhou City. It is a place with beautiful scenery and important geographical location. In addition to setting up an inspection department on the mountain, the Great Xia Dynasty also set up an inspection department at the place guarding the entrance and exit of Xiandu Mountain. He built the army stronghold and hoarded a small number of soldiers.Therefore, Fengzhou officials and gentry who are well aware of its important geographical location call it the "Windzhou Lock and Key"!

However, this 'Wind State Lock and Key' turned into an out-and-out flesh and blood mill in June 14 of Jingxi!Ming general Luo Fang led an army of [-] to knock down the pass at the beginning of the month, but he didn't expect that the Fengzhou garrison had already prepared. More than [-] Xia troops who were waiting for work laid a heavy ambush on Xiandu Mountain, and with the momentum of Mount Tai, they defeated the Ming army's Luo Fang's troops. Scatter and surround!After more than three hours of bloody battle, the Ming army's elite was completely lost, and Ming general Luo Fang could only lead three or four hundred remnants to break through the encirclement and escape from Xiandu Mountain in the dark!

But it didn't end there.

In June of the 14th year of Jingxi, when they heard that their progress had suffered setbacks, the follow-up troops of the Ming army hurried over and invested more than [-] guards and [-] people on this dangerous battlefield. Their opponent, the Fengzhou garrison of the Xia army, also All the Fengzhou Army, Yanzhou Army, and Bamin Army were mobilized (Bamin and Yanzhou were originally desolate and rough places, full of endless trees, wild beasts and savage and powerful aboriginals everywhere, so even after The vast territory of the Xia Dynasty and the strength of the national power also took decades and countless blood to barely establish a dozen strongholds on this wild land, with a total of more than [-] people in each city. For half a month, the bloody battle on the battlefield did not stop until the blood of the soldiers on both sides turned the ground under their feet into a quagmire!

In this battle, the opponents, the Han and Chinese, both experienced the vigorous fighting spirit of the other side for the first time, and also understood that the war between the two sides in Ming and Xia would not end in a short time. Therefore, the Ming army was disgraced. After retreating to Lizhou, Xia Jun, who was unable to catch up, had to retreat to Fengcheng to regroup.All that was left on the Xiandu Mountain battlefield were nearly [-] corpses from both sides in Mingxia, and countless earthen graves, large and small!

Since then, the war between the two sides has entered a stalemate stage. The Ming army has a small population and cannot withstand large losses, and the Xia army also needs to defend because the front line is too long. Therefore, both sides choose to stop fighting for the time being and hide in their old dens to lick their wounds. !

……

Master, you said that since the matter has developed to this point, no matter how bad the two sides are in the next summer, they can fight across the river!However, luck is a thing that is sometimes a little unclear, and the world thinks it is justified, but fate refuses to let the situation develop like this!

In September of the 14th year of Jingxi, Xia Sizong called the eight great families into the palace to discuss matters. The Taiwei played the emperor on Yuelongguang, and wanted to be in Fengzhou, Bamin, and Yanzhou in the south of the Yangtze River (the south of Fengzhou is the southernmost area ruled by the Great Xia Dynasty). , Yunzhou (south of Lizhou), Baizhou (west of Yunzhou, where the Miao, Li, Dong and other ethnic minorities from different time and space live together with the indigenous Qidani and Tamulun people, the folk customs are very aggressive, Both the head of the village and the headmen have great power and independence. They hold military, judicial, civil affairs, and financial power in the state. At the same time, they also emptied the officials sent by the Xia Dynasty, such as governors and guards. ) Liuzhou (north of Baizhou, originally the fiefdom of Liu Guogong, who was granted by the Xia Dynasty. In the 1th year of Emperor Xia Sizong Xuanyuan, Liu Guogong was suspected of participating in the rebellion of King Li 2, and was abolished by Sizong. Later, the central government dispatched Liuguan Mushou) Kun Zhouzhou (the most southwestern state of the Xia Empire, which was originally the kingdom of the three prefectural kings of Yongcheng, the king of Yongcheng County died in the sixth year of Daxing in the fourth year of Emperor Xizong of Xia Xi, and was converted by the central court to become a remote state of the Xia Dynasty) and Zhuzhou (Liuzhou, the north of Kunzhou, the land of abundance, a place where military strategists must contend, was originally the kingdom of the king of Xuncheng County. In the 3th year of Guangzong Taiping, it was abolished because of the case of the eighth generation of Xuncheng County King involved in the etiquette system4, and was later dispatched by the imperial court. Liuguan Mushou, but Zhuzhou's officialization did not last long. In the 14th year of Daxing, Emperor Xizong granted his nine sons Huanjiang King and established the Huan Kingdom. However, the status of Huanfan was respected and revered, but he had no power, so Xia Ting also set up an assassin in Zhuzhou, guarding the county king Sasuke to handle military and political affairs!) and other seven prefectures and one county increased taxes to fight against the increasingly powerful Ming rebels and thieves, but Dongguo Yunqing, the representative of the southern family, was determined. He expressed his opposition, and even pointedly proposed to Sizong to increase taxes in more than ten states in the north of the empire to cope with the increasingly fierce war!

Note: 1 Xuanyuan, Xia Sizong's first year title, there are ten years before and after, and the 16th year of Xia Xizong's Daxing is the first year of Xuanyuan.

2 In the chaos of King Li, Xia Guangzong (Xi Zong's uncle) had no heirs after he ascended the throne for five years, so he appointed his younger brother, King Yunmeng, as the emperor's younger brother, and planned to use King Yunmeng as the new emperor of the empire after the Daxing.

However, things took a new turn in the 13th year of Guangzong Taiping. Zhu Neng, then the governor of Leizhou, offered a beauty to Guangzong who was patrolling in Leizhou microservices at that time. Then, by coincidence, this beauty returned to Beijing when Guangzong She was pregnant at that time, so the overjoyed Guangzong immediately ordered the beauty to be a noble concubine after returning to the capital, and he was also planning to make her son the king of Anyang County (the eldest son who is not the emperor's eldest son cannot be named, and once he is named the king of Anyang County, Then it means that this person will inherit the great rule after the death of the old emperor Longyu and become the next emperor)!

Faced with this situation, the ministers who were unwilling to appoint Xia Guangzong's son of unknown origin as the crown prince came to the gate of Changqing Palace and begged the Supreme Being to take back his order. The throne changed hands, so he united the queen and relatives to Changqing Palace to force Xia Guangzong to give up the idea of ​​imperial concubine and county king!

However, the emperor's younger brother, the empress, and the officials at that time all underestimated Guangzong's determination. In March of the 14th year of Taiping, Xia Guangzong ignored the opposition of the court and the harem, and forced the beauty who gave birth to the dragon son to be Emperor Li. Noble concubine, whose son is the king of Anyang County, and also gave this little county king who just turned one year old the title of Guanglu Shaoqing, General of the Forbidden Palace, allowing him to control the Imperial Forest Army in the Forbidden Palace (in fact, it was the crown prince's Mother Lihuang Guifei is in charge of the imperial army to consolidate and enhance her and her son's power)!

The ensuing etiquette case was instigated by the Emperor Yunmeng and his cronies, who were unwilling to lose power, and Empress Guangzong, because they were scheming and did not fight against Guangzong's imperial edict. The king's background made a big fuss, and he hoped to get help from the clan prince.

Concubine Li was hanged to death, the little prince was smothered to death, and even Zhu Neng, the governor of Leizhou, who was presenting to the imperial concubine Li, was impeached by the officials and dismissed from office, and then the whole family died tragically on the way home... As the emperor of the empire Xia Guangzong never expected that the empress, the king of Yunmeng and the eight great families would move so quickly, and when he realized that there was only cold corpses left in Changchun Garden, which had been laughing and laughing all day long. And Xia Guangzong's heart that had already died with Concubine Li's death!

After the abolition, the king of Yunmeng was demoted to be the king of Licheng (in summer, the closer the fief is to the capital, the more respected the prince's status), and the dismounting stone and archway bestowed by the emperor Taizu to the eight great families were removed... There is nothing more sad than heart The dead Xia Guangzong soon attacked the nobles, and, more importantly, he, the supreme emperor of the empire, had already begun to replace court officials in a planned way. He was weakening the cornerstone of the royal family and family rule. It turned out that he He never forgot to avenge his beloved woman and child!

In the 15th year of Taiping, the King of Licheng County, who was completely under the supervision of Guangzong's cronies, was unable to leave the feudal domain, so he could only send his followers to contact Leizhou in early February. Responding from inside and outside, they forced Guangzong to abdicate to the virtuous!

However, he really overestimated the fighting power of his two allies, and at the same time underestimated the influence and control of Emperor Guangzong. Gao Yuhu, the defense envoy with the title of hereditary Marquis; another rebel Marquis was beheaded by General Zhonglang led by the court during the battle. Therefore, in April of the 15th year of Taiping, a riot was launched by King Li and his cronies. This was completely wiped out by Xia Guangzong, and the culprit, Guangzong's younger brother Licheng County King escaped the disaster because he did not directly raise troops, but was dismissed by Guangzong from all positions and titles, and confined in the County King's Mansion!

……

In the 19th year of Taiping, the talented Xia Guangzong passed away due to illness. To the surprise of the court, the 49-year-old emperor actually left a will, naming his younger brother's son (Xia Xizong) as the next emperor of the empire. Continue to rule the world for him.

King Li also took advantage of the opportunity of the new emperor ascending the throne and amnesty for the world to return to the capital; but after more than ten years, he had lost the chance to compete for the throne forever, and was arranged to be idle in the mansion by the new emperor Xi Zong, completely becoming an idler. king.

For 20 years, King Li had been dormant in the capital for 20 years, and finally made him wait for the news of the death of Emperor Xizong Long Yu again!At this time, he, who was no longer young, went to battle again for the Kowloon throne that made him salivate, and this time he also joined forces with the equally ambitious Duke Liu, Marquis Yongcheng, Lieutenant Tang Cong of the Forbidden Army, and Guo Yue, the servant. , Zuo Lang of the city defense army took Wan Qi Junyi as his internal response, and together he raised troops to bully his grandnephew, Emperor Sizong of the Great Xia Dynasty!

In the fourth year of Emperor Xia Sizong's Xuanyuan reign, the battle of Jing Nan caused by King Li caused cholera in almost half of the northern land. Taking advantage of the unguardedness of the court, the rebels rushed all the way, and caught the court by surprise!

However, this is only the beginning of the battle, because Sizong, who came back to his senses, quickly re-appointed Zhishi Taiwei Xiyushan as the commander-in-chief of the rebellion under the suggestion of the minister. The army is the vanguard general Zhonglang, leading [-] forbidden troops and [-] local garrison troops. A total of [-] troops went south to suppress the rebellion!

Then, in the battle of Xuandu Mountain, the counter-insurgency army reversed the [-] Li (Wang) Yong (City Marquis) allied army with a strong combat power, completely shattering Li Wang's emperor's dream!And Li Wang himself was also captured by Mao Zhigao, a lieutenant of the Forbidden Military Academy during this battle, and was escorted to the capital, where he was finally punished with poison!And his ally, Liu Guogong only lasted three months longer than him. In the battle of the sand dunes, he was defeated by Nangong Jianxiong, the garrison of the Xia army Zezhou horse army.

3 Yongcheng, an important town in Kunzhou, was specially established by Xia Taizu, the founding emperor of the empire, to consolidate the southwestern border of the empire. At first, it was guarded by the famous founding general Yongchenghou.

4 Xia Xizong, reign name Nancheng Zhiguo, Daxing, is the son of the youngest brother of Guangzong, and his mother is the daughter of the Xiyu family (Xiyu is one of the eight great families)!
