Revisiting Future Path

Chapter 421: The son is divided, the grandson cuts the fan

The 421st son is entrusted, grandson cuts out

Lelang Guogong Zhu Chongba, Ming Guogong Ming Yuzhen, Han Guogong Chen Youliang, Wei Guogong Maogui, Tang Guogong Li Siqi, these are the five famous Guogongs of Wei Xia Dynasty.

In order to contain the five different surnames of the country, in order to reassure the smaller soldiers with real power, Wei Anhaofu was forced to divide the Wei surnamed king Gongwei Jingshi. In terms of real world geography: Shaanxi is the State of Zhou; Shanxi is the State of Jin; Hebei is the State of Zhao; Liaoning is the State of Yan; Shandong is the State of Lu; Fujian is the State of Wei; Guangdong and Guangxi are the Yue State; Hunan and Guizhou are the State of Chu . In addition, Ming Yuzhen ruled Yunnan, Chen Youliang ruled Sichuan and Chongqing, Li Siqi ruled Gansu and Ningxia, Maogui ruled Inner Mongolia, and Zhu Chongba ruled North Korea. The chaos of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States reappeared in China.

The Wei Xia imperial family only actually ruled Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places, and its overall strength may not even be as good as the Southern Song Dynasty.

Due to the remote sea route, the political cost of the Weixia dynasty, which established the capital of Nanzhili, to manage the Nanyang Islands was incredibly high. Wei Anhao simply broke the jar and sealed Nanyang. First, he gave the island of Sumatra to the imperial emperor Wei Xiuwen, whose country was named "Fuqi"; then, he gave Java Island to his son, who was named "Shunta".

One is to prevent the descendants of Wei Xiuwen from threatening the immediate descendants of Wei Anhao, and the other is to prevent the birth of new threats similar to Wei Anhao in the South China Sea. Wei Anhao has assembled a small number of territories in the Malay Peninsula and established a vassal "sea star"; a small number of direct jurisdictions along the coast of Kalimantan Territory, a vassal state "Bharat" was established; a small number of Philippine territories were set up to establish a vassal state "Luzon. The five southern vassal states such as Shunta, Buddha Qi, Haixing, Borneo, and Luzon have since restricted each other, and no one would ever want to threaten the royal family with maritime geography.

With different surnames of the Five Kingdoms, five Nanyang vassals, and eight inland vassals, Wei Anhao dismembered Wei Dongsheng’s dream of empire.

In 1366, Wei Anhao passed away and his eldest son Wei Shengying succeeded him as the third emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty.

In the same year, Wei Dongsheng once again descended into another world.

Wei Dongsheng's second life experience status is his great-grandson.

This sentence sounds a bit awkward, but it is a joke that exists. The inferior product tomorrow ring erased the traces of the three characters "Wei Dongsheng" with incredible power. The traces of Wei Dongsheng's first life experience, no matter what he did during the Shunta period or the allusions and deaths of the Central Plains period, have become the merits of "Wei Hansheng".

This erasure is like the replacement function of a word document. The author searches for the three characters Wei Dongsheng and replaces them with "Wei Hansheng". After the replacement, Wei Dongsheng can continue his second life experience under the name "Wei Dongsheng".

Inferior Tomorrow Ring has replaced Wei Dongsheng of the first generation with Wei Hansheng.

Nowadays, when people hear the three characters Wei Dongsheng, they will only regard Wei Dongsheng as a descendant of Wei Hansheng.

Ever since, Wei Dongsheng's second life experience became the grandson of Wei Hansheng's second son in the eyes of the world.

In this regard, Wei Dongsheng was speechless.

Wei Shengying, the third emperor of the Wei Xia dynasty, was the grandson of Wei Dongsheng. The kings of the overseas five vassal states and the inland vassal vassals were either the son of Wei Dongsheng or the grandson or great-grandson of Wei Dongsheng. Wei Dongsheng couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he thought that his colleague or superior's true identity was actually his own descendants.

Let alone gossip.

When Wei Shengying divided the kingdoms, the grandson of the first Wei Dongsheng and the nominal father of the second Wei Dongsheng, was ordered to guard Shanxi as the king of Jin.

In 1357, the father of the second generation Wei Dongsheng died.

In recent years, in order to enable future generations to inherit the title smoothly, the eight princes in the Mainland, the five vassal states of Nanyang, and the five princes of different surnames, have unanimously deleted and amended the heir’s law to amend the binding clause that heirs must be over twenty-four years old. Therefore, after the death of Wei Dongsheng's father in the second generation, Wei Dongsheng immediately succeeded the King of Jin at the age of nine.

For the convenience of writing, the second Wei Dongsheng was abbreviated as Wei Dongsheng, and the first Wei Dongsheng was abbreviated as Wei Hansheng after the correction of the inferior Tomorrow Ring.

After Wei Dongsheng succeeded the King of Jin, he did not go to Jin to rule the government, but lived in Kaifeng (Bianliang) to receive education.

There are two main reasons for not returning home in time.

First, the second emperor, Wei Anhao, threatened to dismantle the powerful soldiers and assigned them to the eight inland vassals under the jurisdiction of the eight vassals in the interior. For this reason, the state of Jin also stationed some proud soldiers. The powerful soldiers that the royal family can't control, the empty-handed Jin country small imperial court is naturally more difficult to restrain this group of proud soldiers. The guardian of Wei Dongsheng was afraid that the arrogant soldiers would rise up and threaten Wei Dongsheng. They simply stayed in the Henan province near Jin, and remotely controlled Jin's political affairs.

Secondly, Meng Yuan was only driven out of the Central Plains by the Northern Expedition Group. After the Yuan Emperor Duohuan Temuel fled to the grassland, he continued to invade the frontier vassals without giving up. In order to work together to resist the threat of Meng Yuan or Bei Yuan, the frontier vassal states such as Li's surname Tang, Wei surname Zhou, Wei surnamed Jin, Mao surnamed Wei, Wei surnamed Zhao, Wei surnamed Yan, Zhu surnamed Lelang Concluded the Great Wall Alliance against the invasion of North Yuan. The reason why the Jin Kingdom had no choice but to take arrogant soldiers was also because the royal family needed them to cooperate with the Great Wall Alliance to resist the intrusion of the Northern Yuan Dynasty from time to time.

Of course, Wei Dongsheng must return to Jin to sort out the political affairs at the age of twenty at the latest.

In the second life, there is something in common with the first life. They are the masters of the young and the ministers, and the power is emptied. However, with the foreign aid of the Wei clan and the restriction of the enfeoffment heirs bill, even if the state of Jin gave birth to a domineering minister who was even more powerful than Yang Xinning, he would very likely not dare to seek to usurp the throne. With the practical experience of the first world political game, Wei Dongsheng can easily regain the legal power that belongs to the Jin king under the guise of foreign aid from the imperial family, the eight relatives of the mainland, and the five countries with different surnames.

However, Wei Dongsheng's upward path is also limited to this.

Unlike the Shunta Kingdom, which is lonely in Java, Jin has the Wei surname in the west, the Mao surnamed Wei in the north, the Wei surnamed Zhao in the east, and the province of Henan, which is directly governed by the imperial family. Jin is locked in all directions. Space for expansion. Wei Dongsheng's intention to expand the territory by force will usher in the conquest of the 18 vassals led by the royal family.

So, what does the second life do?

Can't be trapped in Shanxi for a lifetime!

During the seizure of power, Wei Dongsheng thought carefully for a period of time, and decided to fulfill his unfulfilled long-cherished wish in his previous life and end the chaos of the coexistence of the eighteen vassal states.

In other words, Wei Dongsheng personally felt the fragmented empire territory, and for a while did not know how to evaluate the fourth son Wei Anhao. As far as a monarch is concerned, Wei Dongsheng is satisfied with Wei Anhao's decision, because if Wei Anhao is unwilling to compromise and sign the covenant to respect the king and fight against the barbarian, the Wei Xia dynasty will most likely be defeated by Wei Xiuwen. But because of the traditional Chinese education in the real world, Wei Dongsheng naturally admired the idea of ​​the great unification of the Liuhe princes. He hoped that there would be no vassal country in the country, and at least the Central Plains could not be so fragmented.

If you want to unify, you must first seize power.

However, the contemporary emperor is Wei Shengying, the grandson of Wei Dongsheng. During the first life experience, Wei Dongsheng made Wei Anhao the prince, and often brought Wei Anhao's eldest son Wei Shengying with him. Thinking of Wei Shengying's cute face when he was a child, Wei Dongsheng couldn't bear to conspiracy to usurp his throne.

The conspiracy-change to usurp the throne of grandson is shameless.

After considering for a while, Wei Dongsheng decided to assist Wei Shengying as the king of Jin, persuading him to cut the vassal and establish a unified empire.

Unexpectedly, Wei Dongsheng underestimated Wei Shengying's ambition.

Perhaps because of the influence of Wei Dongsheng's concept of great unification when he was a child, Wei Shengying also particularly disliked his father Wei Anhao's strategy of 18 vassals. In 1371, Wei Dongsheng had just used ingenious means to straighten out the power structure of the Jin Dynasty, and Wei Shengying suddenly and without warning began to provoke Wei Anhao's eighteenth domain state policy.

Perhaps considering the terrain factor, Wei Shengying took the lead in launching an attack on the Chu State entrenched in Hunan and Guizhou. Wei Shengying enumerated more than a dozen evidences of Chu King, true or false, and demanded that Chu King abdicate immediately. After Chu King rejected the rule of venerating the King to fight against the barbarian, Wei Shengying forcefully assembled an army to go back to the river.

In 1373, the royal army defeated the Chu army in Dongting Lake and successfully marched into Changsha Mansion.

The real world provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, and Hubei, which are directly governed by the imperial family, are far superior to Chu, which has only Hunan and Guizhou in terms of human resources and financial reserves. If there is no interference from outside forces, Wei Shengying must have easily annexed Chu State. However, the eighteen vassal kingdoms all know the truth about the death of their lips and their teeth. If the royal family acquiesces to the annexation of the kingdom of Chu today, who else will have the confidence to survive forever? Whether the surname was Wei, Chen, or Ming, all the vassal kingdoms saw that Chu was about to fall, and they all gave money and made a strong effort to prevent Wei Shengying's ambition to cut the vassal.

Wei Dongsheng didn't care about the domain.

Wei Dongsheng didn't care about the inheritance of the domain.

The overseas five vassal states, the inland Baqin vassal vassal and the Wei Xia imperial family are all descendants of Wei Dongsheng's blood. Why bother to hinder the great unification for the sake of Jin Kingdom's inheritance?

Wei Dongsheng stood firmly in the imperial camp, and tried his best to block Tang, Zhou, Wei, Zhao and other vassals with the power of Jin, and ease the military pressure of the imperial family in the north. In spite of this, the coastal states of Lu and Wei put heavy pressure on the royal family. Ming and Han even tauntedly sent mercenaries to Chu to prevent the royal family from annexing Chu.

In this case, the royal army can still maintain its military advantage.

From 1373 to 1377, the imperial army captured almost the entire Hunan, and the king of Chu could only hide in Guizhou to survive.

Unfortunately, the royal family won only a partial battle.

Only a feudal clan in Chu State, the royal army still couldn't subdue Chu State after four years. At the same time, the rest of the feudal lords except Wei Dongsheng were full of complaints, and they used various legal and illegal means to pull back their legs, forcing Wei Shengying to temporarily stop fighting.

If the war continues, the seventeen vassals will raise troops to clear the side.

In 1382, Wei Shengying passed away, and his eldest son Wei Yongfeng succeeded him as the fourth emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty.
