Chapter 423: Maybe not a bad thing

423 Maybe it's not a bad thing

Wei Dongsheng adapted slightly to his identity and immediately followed the 18-year historical evolution during his departure. After reading the process and results of Jin's succession war, Wei Dongsheng was speechless and sighed. Wei Dongsheng ingeniously designed the heir to assist the royal family in annexing Jin to advance the process of great unification. Unexpectedly, the ownership of Jin became the fuse for the Wei Xia dynasty to fall into the abyss of enfeoffment.

Who should I blame?

Perhaps we should blame King Lu. His 8,000 elite ambushes 40,000 imperial foot knights, which defeated the backbone of the imperial family in one battle. If King Lu appeared in the royal camp, the dream of great unification might have been realized! If you did not encounter a military genius like King Lu, who was rare in a century, the imperial family might have a chance to win the Jin succession war under the background of Jin Guoli and foreign cooperation.

Perhaps we should complain about Wei Yongfeng. During the Jin Succession War, he kept fainting. Not only was he unable to unite King Lu for his own use, he angered King Lu and was surrounded by the capital. If Wei Yongfeng is smarter and if Wei Yongfeng's methods are more sleek, Jin's succession war may be another direction.

But thinking about it carefully, Wei Dongsheng felt that these blames were meaningless.

Whether you blame the enemy for being too strong or your friend for being too weak, you are deceiving yourself and others to compromise your responsibilities.

The real reason may be Wei Dongsheng.

Is history created by heroes or by the people?

If the feudal clan succeeds, that's all.

Without the ability to slash the feudal clan and start cruel wars frequently, can the people not oppose you?

In the later period of the Battle of Chu and the later period of the War of Succession of the Kingdom of Jin, small-scale riots broke out in all provinces directly under the imperial family. If the vassal states did not help the imperial family to quell the rebellion in a timely manner based on the interests of the ruling class as a family, these civil disturbances might have caused great turmoil for the change of dynasties.

The cost of cutting the vassal is too high.

At this moment, instead of supporting the great unification, the common people hated the imperial family for initiating the war of cutting the vassal. Wei Dongsheng wanted to promote the process of great unification, similar to establishing a republic in the atmosphere of monarchy and public opinion, and establishing a feudal monarch in the atmosphere of republican opinion.

In short, the time is short.

Ninety years ago, the people of the Central Plains were eager to overthrow the brutal rule of Meng Yuan. Only when Wei Dongsheng competed in the Central Plains could he respond. Today, the people have not yet felt the pain of the enfeoffment system, and they naturally hate the royal family's war of subjugation.

After understanding the whole story, Wei Dongsheng decided to temporarily give up his obsession with unification.

In the third life, Wei Dongsheng no longer pursued the pursuit of opening up territories, nor did he pursue the unification of the country. Suddenly, Wei Dongsheng seemed to have no goal, and simply walked around, admiring the enfeoffment empire created by him but out of his control.

Walking from south to north and east to west, Wei Dongsheng silently observes the Wei Xia Dynasty.

When the time came to 1443, Wei Shansheng, the fifth emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty, finally took action after years of forbearance.

Because of the horrible end of the Battle of Chu and the defeat of the Jin succession war, Wei Shansheng judged that the royal army was weak. Even after some military reforms, Wei Shansheng still has no confidence in the royal family. In order to verify the combat effectiveness of the royal army and to restore the prestige of the royal family, Wei Shansheng set his sights on a foreign power that would not attract the 19 vassal states to protest together-Hu Yu Annan, that is, northern Vietnam in the real world.

Northern Vietnam has always been a traditional territory of China until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Because the Zhao Song dynasty was unable to quell the rebellion, it gradually separated from China. In the past few years after Wei Xia established the country, he was busy with the war of succession to the throne and the expulsion of the Tartars in the early stage. In the later stage, he was busy cutting the vassal and turning back the vassal. Therefore, he had no time to conquer the traditional territory that had been separated from China for about 500 years. When the fifth emperor arrived, Wei Shansheng did not dare to slash the feudal clan at home, so he had to direct the contradiction abroad, and in the name of regaining lost soil, he used Hu Yu Annan as a whetstone to verify the power of the royal family's new army.

Hu Yu Annan was built by Hu Jishou, who was originally a relative of the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam, but then usurped the power and restored the ancestral Hu surname. After Hu Jishou called himself Chinese Yu Shun, he changed his country's name to "Dayu" and became the Vietnamese Hu Dynasty. In the real world history, Ming Yongle Emperor Zhu Di deliberately interfered in the transition from Chen Dynasty to Hu Dynasty, dispatched Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng to lead the army to conquer the Hu Dynasty, and then set up four states and guards. Due to various problems, Zhu Ming regretfully failed to establish a long-term rule. Yongle Emperor Zhu Di gave up Annan shortly after his death.

In another world, when Hu Jisuo usurped the throne, the Wei Xia dynasty was busy cutting down the faculty and had no time to pay attention to him. It was not until Hu Jishou and his descendants secured the throne that Wei Shansheng turned his attention to this homeland because of the hopelessness of cutting the domain. Wei Shansheng did not disappoint Wei Dongsheng. Although there were occasional setbacks during the war, the Wei Xia imperial army smashed Hu Yu Annan as easily as the Zhu Ming army and easily established the Jiaozhi province.

However, just like the dilemma encountered by the Zhu Ming Dynasty, it is easy to defeat Annan and difficult to rule Jiaozhi. Before Wei Shansheng had time to show off his military power to the nineteen vassals, he was depressed to find that Jiaozhi had become a war quagmire. In just three or four years, the chaotic people quickly formed a beacon fire. In 1453, Wei Shan's dream of annexing the Jiaozhi provinces to pressure the vassals was completely shattered, and even had to mobilize domestic resources to increase troops to quell the rebellion.

Suddenly, the royal family's annexation of Jiaozhi became a joke.

In 1456, the situation in the Jiaozhi province worsened. The thieves not only moved into tens of thousands, but even dared to seek a main decisive battle with the royal army. Wei Shansheng knew that the Jiaozhi province had become a burden, but he was unwilling to withdraw in embarrassment. He concealed his shame and entrusted the Jiaozhi province to his second son, for the King of Cochin.

Wei Shansheng's confession is pure shame.

Wei Shansheng didn't like the second son for some reason, and his son also abandoned himself as a hero, and ran wildly. Wei Shansheng entrusted Jiaozhi to the second son, and when Jiaozhi fell completely, it became the second son's responsibility. Although this kind of thinking is a bit self-deceiving, Wei Shansheng did so.

No matter how you think, the act of entrusting Jiaozhi has become a turning point in the chaos of Jiaozhi people.

When Wei Shansheng's second son succeeded the King of Cozhi, Wei Shansheng only symbolized that he was left with 10,000 steps to ride. This group of soldiers originated from those co-chief soldiers, and even a group of ordinary soldiers after evacuating the elite. The imperial army couldn't do it for 150,000 steps. What can Wei Shansheng have for the second son? Riding a mere 10,000 steps is equivalent to giving up the Jiaozhi Province.

Unexpectedly, under the leadership of Wei Shansheng's second son, the combat effectiveness of the 10,000-step cavalry suddenly soared ten times. This group of ordinary soldiers, regarded as the second-class army by the royal army, went from one victory to another under the leadership of Wei Shansheng. In just two years, they quelled the rebels and rebels that had caused the 150,000 royal army to be devastated.

Soon, the Jiaozhi Domain officially became the Jiaozhi Domain.

Public opinion was in an uproar. Some people criticized the royal military system, saying that it was composed of a group of elite fighters and a group of stupid generals. Some people praised Wei Shansheng’s second son, saying that he alone could serve as 150,000 soldiers. Wei Shansheng did not choose to let him do it. The prince, really is the blessing of the domain.

However, what is the truth?

As early as when the chaos in the Jiaozhi province became more and more fierce, Wei Dongsheng came to Jiaozhi to closely evaluate the similarities and differences between the Weixia and Zhuming dynasties. When Wei Shansheng decided to abandon the Jiaozhi trip, Wei Dongsheng responded to Wei Shansheng's second son's recruitment order and contributed to the Jiaozhi chaos as an officer.

However, Wei Dongsheng's assistance was not the main reason for the victory of the Jiaozhi domain.

The 10,000 paces Wei Shansheng left for the second son, the reason why their fighting power soared tenfold was because they had a goal. As soldiers and soldiers of the royal army, even if they are brave and good at fighting, their path will stop at the grassroots officers. Why do they work hard for a little salary and rebels and rebels? The Jiaozhi domain was a newly-born domain. Wei Shansheng's second son promised the fiefs, titles, and official positions to the soldiers. As long as you dare to fight, you will be able to jump into the dragon gate and rank among the nobles.

In order to be prosperous and wealthy, and for the descendants of blood, the Jiaozhi chaos thief must die to death.

This is the truth of the rapid stability of the Jiaozhi domain.

Wei Dongsheng was in a daze.

Zhu Ming failed to establish a stable rule in Jiaozhi, and the Wei Xia imperial family failed to establish a stable rule in Jiaozhi. This seemingly difficult task was easily completed by a group of soldiers greedy for glory and wealth. Looking at the five Nanyang vassal states, despite the constant turmoil during the period, the descendants of Wei Dongsheng's blood firmly ruled the Nanyang islands. If Wei Xia were a unified dynasty like the Zhu Ming dynasty, it would be difficult for the five Nanyang vassal states to rule the countless islands stably, and Jiaozhi might also gain and lose.

Perhaps the enfeoffment system is not as bad as imagined?

After several years of deliberation, Wei Dongsheng decided not to entangle the line of grand unification and enfeoffment.

Truth comes from practice. Since I have the honor to experience the tenth reincarnation lesson, it is better to take the opportunity to take a look at the limits of Wei Xia's entrusted empire.

Unfortunately, when he wanted to understand this, the third generation Wei Dongsheng was already 49 years old.

In addition, the reincarnated flesh of Wei Dongsheng for the tenth generation was a normal flesh, which could get sick and injured, and the older he was, the weaker he was. In the first and second lives, Wei Dongsheng tried his best to maintain his health and organized a team of doctors to take care of himself. This barely survived to more than 60 years old. The first life died at the age of 69, the second life died at the age of 66, and the third life does not seem to be many years old.

The second life was wasted, and the third life was basically wasted.

Fortunately, the tenth rebirth has ten years of experience, and now it is too late to adjust the goal.

Besides, the inferior Tomorrow Ring is an educational product. What Wei Dongsheng gets from it is not important, what he learns from it is the real growth.
