Revisiting Future Path

422 Toward the Envelope Abyss

After Wei Yongfeng ascended the throne, he was depressed to discover that there were seventeen vassal states outside the country, and there were concerns about civil upheavals within, and the four-year war had exhausted the treasury. Although Wei Yongfeng was also eager to cut the feudal clan and realize the unification of the country, he had to end the campaign against Chu initiated by Wei Shengying in depression.

The battle of Wei Shengying against Chu was one of the landmark events of the Wei-Xia dynasty's sliding from a centralized system to a system of enfeoffment.

When the dynasty was founded, the vassal state was entrusted on the frontier, which is not uncommon in Chinese history. The idea of ​​great unification does not lie in whether the early dynasty implemented the enfeoffment, but whether the subsequent successors can successfully cut the vassal to achieve administrative unification. Take the real world Zhuming dynasty as an example. Although Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi cut the vassal to become a monk, the ancestor Zhu Di eliminated the hidden dangers of the vassal state in another way. Therefore, the Zhuming dynasty is still a well-known unified dynasty.

Wei Shengying did not succeed in cutting the vassal vassal wisely, but he was not as stupid as Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yun.

Wei Shengying was stronger than Jianwen emperor Zhu Yunshou, and became a historical sinner who hindered the unification of the Wei Xia Dynasty.

After the end of the Battle of Chu, the opposition between the royal family and the vassal state became a universally accepted political phenomenon, and the concept of enfeoffment became popular. With the close exchanges during the Battle of Chu, the seventeen vassal states have since joined forces and secretly signed countless mutual defense covenants against the royal family's ambitions.

After the Battle of Chu was undefeated and defeated, it was even more difficult for the royal family to want to cut the feudal clan.

Wei Yongfeng gave up the plan to cut the Fan.

There is only one place in Shanxi, and it is naturally even more difficult to make a difference.

Especially in the late period of the Battle of Chu, the situation in the northern frontier of the empire changed drastically.

In 1376, the Eighth Governor Zhu Chong led the Great Wall Alliance forces such as Lelangguo, Yanguo, Zhaoguo, and Weiguo to drive the Northeast directly with a step-by-step strategy, and made a big break in the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the northern part of the Liaoyang province of Mengyuan. The remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty defeated the Northeast, thus losing their support, and the threat was reduced by half.

In 1377, Mao Guifu led the Great Wall Alliance forces to go deep into the Mongolian plateau. Fortunately, he captured the main force of Beiyuan and defeated it, capturing countless princes and concubines and princesses of Beiyuan. After this defeat, the prestige of the Golden Family plummeted, and many nomadic tribes took the opportunity to declare independence. For the northern vassal states of the Wei Xia dynasty, the Meng Yuan dynasty of the Golden Family has completely collapsed. Those new tribes have neither the prestige of calling on the heroes nor the strength to defeat the vassal states of the Great Wall Alliance. The threat of the grassland to the frontiers has been reduced to the original level. One and two of eleven.

The collapse of the Golden Family was a happy event for the Wei Xia dynasty, but not for the Wei Xia imperial family.

After getting rid of the threat of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the vassals of the Great Wall League suddenly had more power to fight against the royal family's ambitions. Those elites who have been fighting the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty for more than ten years, who dare to ignore their existence? The reason why Wei Shengying stopped fighting at the end of 1377 was because he was afraid that the Great Wall Alliance vassal states would rise up.

Wei Shengying was afraid.

Wei is afraid of the wind.

Wei Dongsheng was also afraid.

Without the backing of science and technology trees, it is better than Wei Dongsheng, and there is no way to fight against the seventeen vassals with a province of Jin.

As time passed, Wei Dongsheng was depressed to find that the wish of the Wei Xia Dynasty to unify may not be realized.

In fact, there are ways.

For example, in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, there were many vassal towns. When the Huangchao brought troubles to the world, the Central Plains immediately began to brew reforms to abolish the vassal towns. If Wei Dongsheng dared to break the jar, even if Huang Chao made a circle around the Central Plains, he might be able to brew a unified reform. However, thinking that it was the Zhao Song dynasty that finally achieved the reduction of the vassal, and thinking of the Liao and Xia who rose during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Wei Dongsheng hesitated to deny such a way of not breaking and establishing.

Furthermore, unification is only a means.

If there is great unification for the sake of great unification, and if it is for great unification, it will be costly to make a yellow nest that shatters the old order.

Wei Dongsheng hesitated very much.

Wei Dongsheng advocated unified centralization, but he was unwilling to smash bottles and jars for the sake of unified centralization.

The confusion in his heart limits Wei Dongsheng's future.

Hesitating this, hesitating that, and Wei Dongsheng ended his life without doing anything.

In 1414, Wei Dong died of illness at the age of 66.

Compared with the first-life experience, Wei Dongsheng’s second-life experience had nothing to do, and he walked almost in place for 48 years. Even after returning to the real world, Wei Dongsheng continued to struggle between the lines of centralization and enfeoffment, and immersed himself in searching for answers in the historical books.

...

After the preparation time on the 18th in the real world, Wei Dongsheng's third life experience kicked off on time.

...

In 1414, Wei Moumou (Wei Dongsheng) died of an illness in Taiyuan Mansion, and the Jin Dynasty was extinct.

In other words, Wei Dongsheng tends to assist his grandson Wei Shengying and his great-grandson Wei to use wind to cut the vassal rather than preserve the inheritance of the vassal state, simply pretending to be suffering from infertility. In order to advance the historical process of the unification of the Wei Xia Dynasty, Wei Dongsheng also cleverly selected heirs, hoping that the royal family could legally annex the Jin country after his death, and expand the comprehensive strength between the royal family and the vassal state.

Wei Dongsheng never expected that his hard work created the Jin succession war.

In 1415, Wei Yongfeng tried to annex the Kingdom of Jin according to law.

What do you think, the seventeen vassal states unanimously opposed the royal family's annexation of Jin. The vassal states of Lu, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Zhou, Tang and other vassals stationed in Jin at almost the same time, prohibiting royal officials or troops from stepping on the land of Jin. Before long, the situation in northern China was completely out of control, and the royal army and the northern vassal coalition launched a brutal struggle in northern Henan Province.

During the war, Lu, who had been recuperating for many years, was abruptly displayed. King Lu, also of Wei Dongsheng's blood, horribly commanded 8,000 elite troops who successfully ambushed the imperial family's 50,000-step cavalry force. Almost one battle defeated the imperial family's ambition to annex Jin. King Lu continued to win consecutive battles for several years, and in 1420 he crossed the Yangtze River and surrounded the capital.

What is not available on the battlefield is hard to get at the negotiating table.

Wei Yongfeng, the fourth emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty, had to compromise and beg for mercy and vowed to permanently abandon the idea of ​​annexing Jin.

Wei Yongfeng would like to thank the other feudal states for their hindrance. If it weren’t for other vassal states that were both shocked and afraid of King Lu’s military capabilities, the Jin Kingdom desperately pushed King Lu back in the later stages of the succession war, and King Lu might even hope to take the lead and claim the throne like Zhu Di in the real world. It is a pity that although King Lu was victorious in all battles, he was unable to rely on Shandong to fight against all the allied forces of the vassal states.

After the Northern Territory's coalition forces won a complete victory, in order to avoid the imperial family repeatedly cutting the feudal clan, they decided to forcibly deprive the imperial family of its territory. In the south, the northern vassal-nation coalition forces forced Wei Yongfeng to abandon Zhejiang Province, and Wei Yongfeng's third son was promoted to the ninth inland pro-fan, which was the king of Wu; in the north, the northern vassal-nation alliance declared Henan Province as a special buffer zone.

Initially, King Lu wanted to annex Henan Province with military prestige. However, other vassal states were afraid that Lu was too strong after annexing Henan Province, and they decided to change their camp to strongly oppose Lu State's annexation of Henan Province. It is a pity that King Lu is famous for his victorious battles, and after he has forgotten with the royal family, no one in the world can stop his soldiers. After an exchange of interests, King Lu annexed the fertile fields of Central Plains in the real world, including Puyang, Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, Shangqiu, Xuchang, Pingdingshan, Zhoukou, and Zhumadian. At the same time, the northern vassal state coalition established four major counties in Henan province that belonged to the royal family but were deeply influenced by the vassal states: Anyang, Hebi, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo and other places, and established Weihui counties. As a vassal of the State of Zhao; Sanmenxia, ​​Luoyang and other places established the Earl of Luoyang as a vassal of the State of Zhou; Nanyang and other places established the Earl of Nanyang as a vassal of the State of Lu; Xinyang and other places established the Earl of Runan, also A vassal of Lu State.

According to history: the three are divided into Henan.

Other vassal states also wanted to take the opportunity to cut the royal family. For example, both Chu and Han wanted to annex the Hubei territories occupied by Jin and inherit the war. Yue and Wei also wanted to annex the Jiangxi and Zhejiang territories occupied by Jin and inherit the war. However, the vassal states have their own interests, and they cooperate and fight with each other. How can they be willing to expand and grow the neighboring vassal states? After many wars and negotiations. Chu and Han were forced to withdraw from Hubei, and Yue and Wei were also forced to withdraw from Jiangxi. In this way, the Jin succession war ended, and the royal family only left Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei and other provinces directly under the central government. The hope of great unification can no longer be slim.

Wei Yongfeng passed away in 1424, and his eldest son Wei Shansheng succeeded him as the fifth emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty.

When Wei Shansheng ascended the throne, he vowed never to cut the feudal clan. While working hard to appease the foreign surname Wu Guogong, the Nanyang five feudal vassal states, and the inland nine vassal feudal vassals, he reformed the military system and taxation system in the provinces directly under the Central Government, and orderly cleaned up the mess left by Wei Yongfeng.

So in 1432, Wei Dongsheng came to this world on time for the third time.

Wei Dongsheng's third-life experience status is still his descendant.

Based on the inauguration of the leader of Shunta by his father Wei Fusong in the name of the first Wei Dongsheng, the Wei Xia Dynasty has been established for 151 years; with Wei Dongsheng competing in the Central Plains as the ruler, the Wei Xia Dynasty has been established for 91 years. After more than a hundred years of blood breeding, Wei Dongsheng's descendants have spread all over the world, and his heirs have long been unable to rely on blood family affection to obtain the title of knighthood. Inferior Products Tomorrow Ring considers the reality of population breeding and gradually reduces Wei Dongsheng’s background in the Wei family.

In the first reincarnation, we ignore Wei Fusong, who is like a background character. Wei Dongsheng is actually the true founder of the Wei family.

In the second rebirth, Wei Dongsheng's identity background declined to the king of the feudal kingdom, and he needed to be under the control of his grandson Wei Shengying and his great-grandson Wei Yongfeng.

In the third rebirth, Wei Dongsheng's status and background continued to decline, with neither the prince's honor nor the territorial confinement. Fortunately, the Wei family's population has not yet grown to be counted at one hundred thousand million. With Wei Dongsheng's blood background, it is a real upper class in society. Wei Dongsheng's third experience status is the son of a certain prime minister of the Jin Kingdom. His father, the prime minister, died in 1424. It can be simply described as the son of a senior official with a slightly defeated family.

He is also a descendant of the Wei family and the son of the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom. Even if the family decays again, Wei Dongsheng will not worry about the cost of clothing.
