450th Spring and Autumn to the Warring States Period (3)

Since the discovery of geography, the central dynasty thoughts of Zhu Xia have become stronger due to the all-round success of the maritime domains worldwide. The reclaimed land in Kyushu is the land of civilization, and all other countries are barbarians. He also said that people who are not of my race must have different hearts. From the Yue Kingdom to the Wei Kingdom, and from the royal family to the Lu Kingdom, they all suffered because of their credulous belief in barbarians, and indirectly became more and more conservative, governing the Kyushu mainland and the colony separately.

In all these cases, the Wei Xia domain despised the expansion outside of Kyushu and did not envy Mao Jiuzhong for reappearing the miracle of the Mongol Empire. The reason is that if the territory covers colonies and spheres of influence, the territories of maritime vassal states are also extremely vast. Five maritime vassal states, including the Royal Family, Yue State, Wei State, Wu State, and State Lu State, successively established colonial empires that never set the sun. They were in Tianzhu, Kunlun, and Penglai, all unscrupulously enclosing their land; the secondary Ming dynasty The three feudal vassals, such as the Cochin Kingdom, and the Haixing Domain, sometimes war and sometimes negotiate, and they have divided the Indo-China Peninsula by tacit understanding.

Coastal vassal states and frontier vassal states can enclose land expansion, and a hero like Mao Jiuzhong who has won all battles is naturally qualified to enclose land in Central Asia.

The Wei Xia domain allowed Mao Jiuzhong to enclose land, but the premise was that Wei could not affect the Kyushu equilibrium.

The Wei state almost reproduced the territory of the Mongol Empire, the Yan state and the Tang state had become surrendered, and the equilibrium situation in Kyushu was at stake. If Mao Jiuzhong is willing to retreat to the Duke of Victory, and the threat of Wei is resolved without bloodshed, it is the best result that everyone is willing to see. Therefore, after many years, the royal family once again built the kingdom of the Duke of Vassal Victory and included Central Asia and Persia into the sphere of influence of Wei Xia.

But, is Mao Jiuzhong willing to accept division?

The answer is not willing.

Mao Jiuzhong accepted the title of Duke of Shengmeng, but insisted on leading his army back to the old land of Wei.

The Duke of the State of Wei Mao Shangde intentionally prevented Mao Jiuzhong from returning to the country, but the generals of the State of Wei had long worshipped Mao Jiuzhong as a war god. Who would dare to fight him? Even the loyal ministers of Mao Shangde could only exhort themselves in despair: "There is no half of the time to make the decision, but the only thing left is to repay your grace." Mao Shangde hesitated again and again, reluctant to choose to capture Mao Jiuzhong who had returned from the war.

After Mao Jiuzhong returned, he immediately rectified the unstable factors during the succession of the Wei king. All the civil servants and generals who betrayed him were deposed at one time, and then led the Wei state as the uncle regent. In this way, what is the significance of the Duke of Victory?

Under pressure, the Wei Xia domain quickly formed an anti-Wei coalition army. Considering Mao Jiuzhong's victorious military power in hundreds of battles in recent years, the anti-Wei coalition forces did not dare to directly declare war on the State of Wei. The anti-Wei alliance envisaged that all the vassal states would gather their allied forces calmly with the Zhao State buffer zone, and then quickly raid the Wei state capital; other fronts. Coordinating with inciting Mao Jiuzhong to conquer the territory's indigenous rebellion, it will surely blow the Wei state at one time.

Unfortunately, the Anti-Wei League did not guess the beginning or the end.

Mao Jiuzhong is not the one who is waiting to die. When the anti-Wei coalition forces assembled to a certain scale, Mao Jiuzhong immediately tore up his promise to never interfere in Zhao's internal affairs. In 1599, Mao Jiuzhong led an army into the territory of Zhao, and immediately broke the anti-Wei coalition forces in Jizhou Mansion.

The battle of Jizhoufu ended and the world was shaken. There is a saying that if you can't get it on the battlefield, don't even think about getting it on the negotiation table. If the anti-Wei coalition forces cannot defeat Mao Jiuzhong on the battlefield, how can they be hostile to Wei? The battle of Jizhou ended and Mao Jiuzhongwei became more famous. Because of the overall victory since the Great Geographic Discovery, the people of the empire generally believed that "one summer is a five-hu", that is, 10,000 Zhuxia troops can easily defeat 50,000 barbarians, just like the royal family, the Yue State, the Wei State, the Wu State, and the Lu State. When the maritime vassal states can sail all over the world, Mao Jiuzhong's victory in the Western Regions is a natural result. It was not until Mao Jiuzhong defeated the Battle of Jizhou in the mainland of Kyushu that the people of the empire woke up to the horror that Mao Jiuzhong was a true hero who could be recorded in history.

Military observers studied the military system of the State of Wei and believed that the military tactics of the State of Wei originated from Qi Jiguang's Wuzu phalanx. Mao Jiuzhong carried out reforms on the basis of Wu Wuzu's phalanx, and promptly introduced in batches of flint guns that are more advanced than beak guns and artillery that are convenient for field battles, bringing the power of guns and guns to the extreme of contemporary times. Just like Wu Wuzu's phalanx reformation of the Yue Wuzu phalanx, the Wei State soldier under the command of Mao Jiuzhong can already be called the Wei Wuzu phalanx that greatly leads Wu Wuzu's phalanx.

Wei Wuzu phalanx!

Hearing Wei Wuzu's words, everyone couldn't help feeling a little.

From the Yue Wuzu phalanx to the Wu Wuzu phalanx, and then to the Wei Wuzu phalanx, this is the evolution history of the mainstream military art of the Wei Xia Empire. Going back to the original Yuewuzu phalanx, the reason why it was named Yuewuzu phalanx was based on the Wei Wuzu created by Wu Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Seventy-two battles, sixty-four victories, and the rest are resolved, the glory of Wei Wuzu passed down for thousands of years. At that time, military strategists noticed that the firearms had greatly increased the infantry, and the core role of the infantry was getting stronger and stronger, so they called the Yue national soldiers who used the infantry as the core force as the Yue military phalanx.

Unexpectedly, the military **** phalanx based on Wei Wuzu once again carried forward under the banner of Wei.

The Wei Wuzu phalanx did not insult the origin of the Wuzu phalanx. Simply counting Mao Jiuzhong's record, his military achievements may have surpassed Wu Qi. Excluding the repeated victories on the battlefield of Yuewu and Wu, the Wei-Yan war attacked the capital of the Yan king; Leshi Yanran integrated the grassland tribes; conquered the Oirat Khanate, the Yarkand Khanate, the Bukhara Khanate, and Khiva in the west. Khanate, Kazakh Khanate, Persia and other countries; returning to Kyushu, and breaking the anti-Wei coalition forces in Jizhou Mansion, such an army would even take a cold breath from Wei Dongsheng.

However, Kyushu is Kyushu after all.

After more than a hundred years of marine trade nourishment and feedback from the Penglai colony, the people of Kyushu are rich and strong, and the quality and quantity of the least firearms far exceed those of the Central Asian Khanates. Although Mao Jiuzhong won the victory of Jizhou Mansion as scheduled, he was keenly aware that Wei Xia Zhu Fan was far more difficult to conquer than he thought. The Zhao State has been in chaos for many years, and there are new or old military fortresses everywhere. If the steppe cavalry dared to make a raid in the interior, the whole army would be annihilated. And if every battle is attacked by Wei's footsteps, the population of Wei is not enough to maintain such a consumption.

What is the population of Wei Guo?

What is the population of the royal family and Lu State?

Once the war turns into a war of attrition, Wei will inevitably continue to bleed and die.

As for the territory that was just conquered, it was okay to drive them to victory. Once Wei's core military strength is insufficient, they will definitely rebel immediately.

Mao Jiuzhong would not and dare not trust the group of servants.

Mao Jiuzhong was aware of Wei's shortcomings, but was unwilling to stop there.

In 1600, Mao Jiuzhong took the initiative to provoke the battle of Baoding Prefecture and once again defeated the anti-Wei coalition forces.

In 1601, Mao Jiuzhong continued to provoke the battle of Zhendingfu, breaking the anti-Wei coalition for the third time.

Unfortunately, just like the Great Victory of Jizhou Prefecture, the Great Victory of Baoding Prefecture and the Great Victory of Zhending Prefecture, they were only successful battles. The population consumption of the three battles has already had a negative effect on Wei's economy. Mao Jiuzhong realized that the dream of driving straight to Kyoto could not be realized in a short time, and immediately took the initiative to end this protracted battle.

Next, Mao Jiuzhong no longer committed to land annexation, but used diplomacy to break up the anti-Wei alliance.

At the same time, Wei's hegemony was not stable. When Mao Jiuzhong and the Anti-Wei Alliance battled against the territory of Zhao, the newly conquered territories also faced strong challenges. In addition to local uprisings, the Russian Empire in the northwest, the Ottoman Empire in the southwest, and the Mughal Empire in the southeast. Want to take advantage of Wei Guo's expansion event to reap the benefits of the fisherman. After Mao Jiuzhong gave up his plan to enter the Central Plains at one time, he immediately resolved these difficulties in a vertical and horizontal manner.

Mao Jiuzhong first entered into an alliance of the four kingdoms of Jizhou with Zhao, Jin, and Yan, and asked Zhao to cede the four northern provinces including Duoyan, Xuan, Jizhou, and Yongping to Wei. This land covers the real-world cities of China, Yanjing City, Tianjin City, Qinhuangdao City, Chengde City, Zhangjiakou City, Tangshan City, and Langfang City in Hebei Province. It has a vast area and a good port in Tianjin, which has very advantageous geographical value. The annexation of the State of Yan by the State of Wei and the West of Liaoning had already shaken the empire. How could the vassal states of Wei and Xia allow the State of Wei to continue to annex the territory of the State of Zhao?

However, Mao Jiuzhong made a condition that everyone could not refuse.

As long as the vassals recognized the Wei-Zhao Jizhou Covenant and the Wei-Yan-Liao-ASEAN Treaty, Mao Jiuzhong would lead his army back to the Duke of Victory, and the State of Wei was divided into two. The anti-Wei coalition forces that Mao Jiuzhong fought three times were ashamed. If it weren't for the fear of Mao Jiuzhong's drive in the hinterland of the Central Plains to change dynasties, the vassal states would have long wanted a truce. Especially for the Lu Kingdom, when Mao Jiuzhong could invade the capital of Lu Kingdom at any time, the Lu royal family and nobles were eager to solve the problem of Wei Kingdom's expansion peacefully.

Take the merger.

Sacrifice Zhao State, sacrifice Zhao State.

The anti-Wei coalition forces are just useless.

Mao Jiuzhong kept his promise and transferred all the Jiuzhou Shudi including Liaoxi and the four northern provinces of Zhao State to Wei State, and he himself led his army back to the territory of the Duke of Shengmeng. Mao Jiuzhong then continued to use diplomacy to solve political problems. First Mao Jiuzhong led the army to conquer Baluchistan and the Mughal Empire, and then sold parts of Baluchistan and the Mughal Empire to Lu at a low price, and then concluded with Lu. A mutual defense treaty against the Mughal Empire; the following year, he fought the Ottoman Empire to the west and led his army around the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and then sold the real world Kuwait, part of Iraq, part of the Saudi coast and other land to the royal family at a low price. Part of the world’s united Arab League land was sold to the Patriotic State at a low price, and immediately concluded a mutual defense treaty against the Ottoman Empire with the royal family, the Vietnamese State, and the Patriotic State.

With the help of the imperial family, Lu, Yue, and Weiguo to help attract hatred, the external crisis of Victory Meng was quickly reduced.

As for the Russian Empire, which has no maritime channels, Mao Jiuzhong is prepared to solve it himself.

Unexpectedly, just before the expedition to the Russian Empire, the homeland of Kyushu suddenly changed. In 1604, King Wei Fengxiang of the Yan Kingdom died of illness and had no children. The vassal states of the Central Plains forced the aristocracy of the Yan Kingdom to agree to asylum to the royal family. Wei Yiping, a pro-yan clan member of Jiangsu Province, succeeded as the king of the Yan Kingdom. China encouraged the people to regain the lost land in western Liaoning. In addition, Wei Shangde did not have the courage to dare to be invincible like Mao Jiuzhong. He gradually succumbed to the threats of the Central Plains vassal states and set out to purge Mao Jiuzhong's cronies, so that Wei and Shengmeng became two countries.
