Revisiting Future Path

465th Eighth: The Great Revolution

Wei Dongsheng devoted himself to basic education in Wei Xia, and time passed quickly.

Wei Dongsheng died in 1695 at the age of 60.

...

Then, the eighth life.

...

Since Wei Anhao restarted the enfeoffment order, the various faculties have been fighting endlessly.

In 1692, the northern three feudal lords such as Yan, Wei, and Zhao fell into a melee. Sometimes Wei and Yan joined forces, sometimes Wei and Zhao joined forces.

The stalemate reached 1699 when San Francisco signed a peace treaty, and Wei Fan ceded Jizhou Mansion and Duoyan Mansion to Zhao Fan. However, with the repeated defeats of Wei Fan of the Jiang family, Yan Fan and Zhao Fan gradually stepped on Wei Fan's corpse to achieve the prestige of the northern duo. Without the common enemy of Wei Fan, the contradiction between Yan Fan and Zhao Fan suddenly intensified, and the harmony that prevailed during the time when the Wei and Fan were ruled together would no longer be restored.

In 1705, Zhao Fan re-examined Xuanfu, Kuanhefu (Chengde City), Duoyanfu (Chifeng City) and other prefectures and counties that were illegally occupied by Mao Jiuzhong and demanded that Wei Fan return all the inherent territory of Zhao Fan. Fan Yan immediately strongly opposed and formed a four-nation alliance with the imperial family, Jin Fan, and Wei Fan to contain Zhao Fan. Zhao Fan also tried to find other allies and forged a four-nation alliance with Lu Fan, Zhou Fan, and Tang Fan. Because the territory of the four vassals such as Lu Fan, Zhao Fan, Zhou Fan, and Tang Fan seemed to be a thick horizontal line, they were allused to be Lianheng League, the royal family, Jin Fan, Wei Fan, and Yan Fan. It is called the United Vertical Alliance.

In 1707, with a small conflict between the Lu Fan Navy and the Royal Navy as the fuse, the Lianheng League officially declared war on the Hezong League.

In 1713, Yue Fan joined the Hezong League and Wei Fan joined the Lianheng League. The scale of the war was further expanded. Except for Wu Fan, who was regarded as a buffer zone, he always maintained armed neutrality, and the coast of Kyushu was filled with smoke.

In this melee that swept Kyushu, the Lien Heng League finally won the crown of victory.

At the last juncture, Fan Yan fought back and carve up Fan Wei with Zhao Fan, Zhou Fan and Tang Fan: Fan Yan took Haici Mansion and Jinshan Mansion, and extended his influence to the eastern part of the Mongolian plateau; Fan Zhao took Xuan Mansion back. , Kuanhe Mansion, Duoyan Mansion, etc. lost their soil; Zhou Fan took back the Yulin Mansion which was invaded by Mao Shang in the past; Tang Fan took away Southern Xinjiang which was set up by Mao Jiuzhong's annexation of the Yeerqiang Khanate.

Due to the fact that Yue Fan and Yan Fan resigned in time, their strength remained and their losses were very limited.

Only the royal family is as miserable as Wei Fan.

After the Jin succession war ended, the Central Plains vassal states deliberately weakened the royal family. In addition to Henan Province and Zhejiang Province, Ryukyu Island and Penghu Islands were also forced to establish vassal Ryukyu Earl. The Earl of Ryukyu was under the management of the royal family, but in actual implementation, it became a free port that the Yue Fan, Wei Fan, Wu Fan, Lu Fan, Zhao Fan, Yan Fan and other vassal states would ravage at will. Now the Spring and Autumn Order has evolved into the Warring States Order, and Lu Fan simply abolished the Earl of Ryukyu and included Ryukyu and the Penghu Islands.

In addition to Ryukyu Island and the Penghu Islands, many imperial colonies were also forced to cede to Lu Fan.

In particular, the northern Penglai colony of the royal family was almost completely captured by the Lu Fan, leaving only a few island strongholds in the Penglai Islands.

Unfortunately, Lu Fan did not stabilize the fruitful results.

When the time came to 1727, Lu Fan’s colonial rule aroused dissatisfaction from the people of the royal family. The four provinces of Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Jiangsu directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family, the immigrants from the four provinces of Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Jiangsu, united as never before, and suddenly opposed The gunshots of Lu Fan’s colonial rule.

Since Wu, Xia, Lu and other maritime alliances set off the second wave of voyages, after more than a hundred years of trivial intrigue, the royal family gradually integrated the North Penglai colony into one piece. Before being ceded to Fan Lu, the Royal North Penglai colony already encompassed the real-world American states of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. Massachusetts, Mississippi and other places. Although the core area may be limited to coastal towns, this is the Xia Bei Penglai colony recognized by the maritime vassal states.

Just like the American War of Independence in the real world, the Xia Bei Penglai colony has multiplied for more than 100 years and has long formed a unique interest group. Moreover, the people in all provinces directly under the imperial family regarded the ceding of the northern Penglai colony as a great shame, and they brought their own dry food to Penglai to support the independence struggle of the Xia Bei Penglai colony; Yue Fan, Wei Fan, Wu Fan, Zhao Fan, and Yan Fan also all He was unwilling to annex the Xia Bei Penglai colony by Fan Lu to take over, and successively support the Xia Bei Penglai colony and Lu Fan to fight to the end.

Ever since, the Xia Bei Penglai colony ushered in the dawn of victory like the real world American War of Independence.

After a difficult six-year war, the northern Penglai colony of Xia was successfully freed from the colonial rule of Lu Fan. Because the maritime vassal states have their own interests, they unanimously did not support the royal family's restoration of its rule in the northern Penglai colony, and they tacitly encouraged the establishment of the northern Penglai republic in the northern Penglai colony. The Republic of North Penglai thus established the first independent regime in Penglai. The system is similar to the relationship between Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom in the real world. It declared eternal allegiance to the Wei Xia royal family, but refused to interfere in the internal affairs of the Republic of North Penglai.

The Northern Penglai Republic became the 24th vassal state of the Wei Xia Empire.

Similar to the United States in the real world, the North Penglai Republic has been thriving since its establishment. From 1733 to 1738, in just five years, the Republic of Northern Penglai re-delineated the sphere of influence with the Vietnamese Penglai and Shandong Penglai, and merged the real-world states of Tennessee and Illinois into the country.

However, no one cared about the expansion of the destiny of the Northern Penglai Republic at this time.

In 1723, Wei Junyang died and his great-grandson Wei Qinxi succeeded him as the 17th emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty.

The defeat of the He-Zong-Lian-Heng Alliance War destroyed Wei Junyang's wise life. Soon after Wei Qinxi succeeded to the throne, he indirectly supported the North Penglai Republic to break away from the colonial rule of the Lu Fan, and for a while, there was quite an appearance of Mingjun. Unfortunately, the imperial court represented by Wei Qinxi ignored internal contradictions.

Lu Fan, who took root in Wei He College, has gradually developed the natural sciences over the years, and the glory of the Industrial Revolution has begun to emerge over the years.

Take the most famous textile industry as an example. It is the dominant industry of the royal family. The royal family monopolizes high-end products and dominates mid-end products. The low-end also has quantitative advantages brought about by population size, which can almost slap the world on its own. Rao is a maritime empire like Wu Fan, who can only profit by monopolizing maritime trade, and has no ability to compete with the royal family in the textile industry.

Lu Fan was even worse.

To tell the truth, Lu Fan has no textile tradition at all, compared with the Suzhou Mansion where "the voice of the machine is heard from each other".

However, the industrial revolution can bridge the gap between traditions.

With the emergence of flying shuttles, mule machines, and various textile machines, Lu Fan’s textile industry was amazed to come from behind at an unimaginable speed. In terms of historical brand image, the textile industry of Lu Fan is far inferior to the royal family weavers; in terms of product quantity and cost control, the advantages of Lu Fan's textile industry are becoming more and more obvious.

With the rapid rise of Lu Fan's textile industry, the royal textile industry turned from prosperity to decline, and countless weaving households went bankrupt in a short time. In the past, there were unstable factors, and they could not help but be forced to exile them to the Penglai colony. Nowadays, the northern Penglai colony, which is the largest in summer, has become an independent Penglai Republic. How can there be colonies that can accommodate countless bankrupt weavers? . Furthermore, without the suppression of colonial rule, even if it is possible to send bankrupt weavers to the Republic of Northern Penglai through a cooperation agreement, it will be a destabilizing factor for gathering foreign vassals.

Without the pressure relief valve, the internal conflicts in the imperial provinces suddenly grew exponentially.

Unfortunately, Wei Qinxi did not perceive the risk. Instead of finding a way to settle the bankrupt weavers in time, he emptied the national treasury a few years ago to support the struggle between the Northern Penglai Republic and Lu Fan.

In February 1738, a group of bankrupt weavers flocked to the imperial palace, frightened Wei Qinxi thought that civil unrest broke out in the capital, and fled the capital in a hurry. When Wei Qinxi realized that the other party was just a group of helpless bankrupt weavers, he ridiculed himself and returned to Kyoto leisurely. Unexpectedly, in the days since Wei Qinxi left, the power structure of the court has undergone earth-shaking changes. The frustrated people represented by the bankrupt Weavers, the Republicans represented by the supporters of the Northern Penglai Republic, the capitalists represented by the emerging industrial class, and the cabinet groups represented by the envy of the Lu Fan system are all eager to take this opportunity to change the royal family. Authority.

When Wei Qinxi returned to Kyoto, the situation was so complicated that he couldn't imagine, and he was even put under house arrest by the cabinet faction.

The various factions negotiated until January 1740, when Wei Qinxi compromised to accept the cabinet faction’s proposal and agreed to follow the example of Lu Fan and adopt the cabinet rule system.

Of course, the loyalty faction represented by the traditional aristocratic families is not reconciled to the cabinet sent to power. Under the guise of Wei Qinxi, the loyal king faction asked Wu Fan for reinforcements, and quickly attacked the royal capital and hunted down the main leaders of the cabinet faction in the name of rebellion.

It is a pity that the hearts of the people are already boiling, and killings cannot stop the change.

The remnants of the cabinet, who are afraid of being imprisoned by the loyal kings faction, decisively unite with all forces including the capitalists and the republicans, gather the bankrupt weavers as representatives of the frustrated, to form a new army, and persuade the old-style army to switch camp. In just forty-two days, the loyal king faction and Wu Fanqin king army were driven out of Kyoto by the new army.

Because the cabinet faction was slain by the loyal king faction, the capitalist and republican factions suddenly became the main forces of the revolution, among which the republicans were the most determined.

The Republicans reorganized the cabinet, condemned Wei Qinxi's ten major crimes in a fierce tone, and announced the abolition of the privileges of Wei's descendants and the establishment of the Zhuxia Republic.

Because the Zhuxia Republic was founded in June 1740, it was called the June Revolution in history.

From the beginning in 1341, Wei Dongsheng built Shuo to discuss Mongolia, and ended in the June Revolution of 1740. The 400-year Wei Xia Dynasty finally came to an end.

Wei Dongsheng watched the end of the Wei Xia dynasty, with emotion in his heart.

If the North Penglai Republic is regarded as a War of Independence in North America, the June Revolution may also be regarded as the French Revolution. In the real world, the North American War of Independence belonged to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the French Revolution was the glory of France. In this time and space, the Wei Xia imperial family was particularly unfortunate. The North Penglai colony became the North Penglai Republic, and the variables of the Great Revolution fell on him.
