471th Northern Federation

In 1806, Wei Dongsheng frankly passed his qualifications to Zhao Fan as Minister of Railways.

In 1807, Zhou Fan's domestic situation suddenly became turbulent.

When Wei Fan was strong, Zhou Fan took the initiative to give Yulin Mansion and Yan'an Mansion to the subordinates of goodwill Mao Jiuzhong, and established the Earl of Yulin and the Earl of Yan'an with extremely high degrees of freedom. After that, Yulin Mansion was invaded and occupied by the Duke of Wei Fan Mao Shang; during the melee of the Lizong and Lianheng, Zhou, Zhao, and Yan tribes divided Wei Fan, and Zhou Fan took advantage of the situation to take back the Yulin Mansion; during the King's rebellion against the Great Alliance War, the Prime Minister The restoration of Dao ordered Zhou Fan to approve Yulin Mansion's autonomy; the king's rebellion against the Great Alliance War ended. Based on the careful thought of weakening neighboring vassal, the vassal states tolerated and allowed Yulin Mansion to continue to maintain the autonomy pattern.

When the time came to 1807, the clarion call of the Industrial Revolution sounded all over the summer, and the market demand gradually promoted the centralization of powers of all vassals. Zhou Fanwang considered the general situation and felt that Zhao Fan, Lu Fan, and Yan Fan were guilty of each other, and might take the opportunity to integrate Yan'an Mansion and Yulin Mansion. The Earl of Yan'an and the Yulin Autonomous Mansion were not willing to delegate power, and actively sought help from neighbors such as Zhao Fan, Tang Fan, Han Fan, and Jin Fan. Yulin Mansion even applied for joining Zhao Fan in the name of Wei Fan’s estate.

The Earl of Yan'an was unwilling to succumb, thinking that he would rather be a chicken mouth than a cow queen; Yulin Mansion's admiration for Zhao Fan was purely due to economic and cultural radiation.

Regarding the political system, Zhou Fan is similar to Yan Fan, and both are the monarchy systems where the king dictates everything. Although Zhao Fan is not as good as Lu Fan, Xia Guo, Wu Fan and other countries, it is also a relatively progressive real monarch and constitution. Yulin Prefecture has been self-governing for a long time, and hopes to join Zhao Fan, who has a higher degree of system compatibility.

Regarding the economic system, Zhao Fan followed Lu Fan to start the Industrial Revolution. Although the national income was not as good as that of Lu Fan, he quickly distanced himself from Zhou Fan, Jin Fan, and Tang Fan. If there is a choice, if not dragged down by treason and notoriety, the people of Yulin and Yan'an will definitely be willing to join Zhao Fan.

The factions of Zhao Fan's cabinet played games for some time and decided to send troops to interfere in Zhou Fan's reduction of power.

The railway construction that Wei Dongsheng had managed for many years came in handy. Zhao Fan’s troops arrived at the front line with super-efficient railway transportation, thus forming a local strategic advantage, quickly defeating Zhou Fan’s main force and Jin’s reserve army to prevent Zhao Fan’s interference. Before the reaction Tang Fan, Yan Fan, Lu Fan and other forces reacted to God, Zhao Fanye had already established victory. Unfortunately, Fan Zhao was afraid of the massive interference of Fan Yan and Fan Lu. After winning, he immediately signed a peace treaty with Fan Zhou and Fan Jin. The treaty stipulated: Yulin Mansion was free to join Zhao Fan, Zhou Fan allowed Yan'an Mansion to remain independent; Fenzhou Mansion was free. Joining the Zhao Fan, the Jin Fan allowed the autonomy of Pingyang Prefecture, Liaozhou Prefecture, and Qinzhou Prefecture.

At the end of the Zhao Zhou-Jin War, Wei Dongsheng made up for the cabinet with his railway service and appointed You Cheng of the Three Provincial Courts. He was fully responsible for the industrial construction, transportation and other matters within Zhao Fan.

Of course, neither Yan Fan nor Lu Fan will condone Zhao Fan's bottomless expansion. As soon as the hastily Zhao-Zhou-Jin war ended, Lu Fan, Yan Fan, Xia Guo and other forces smashed Jin Fan, Zhou Fan, Tang Fan and other vassal states to form an anti-Zhao encirclement. Before the peace agreement was formally concluded, the Jin, Zhou and Tang San Francisco Alliance began to actively prepare for war.

All this, Zhao Fan won the war without a smile. A little carelessness, a few years later, Lu Yan, Tang Zhou Jin and other vassal states were besieged from all directions. The Zhao Fan court was worried, and some even suggested that Yulin Mansion and Fenzhou Mansion should be returned to Zhou Fan and Jin Fan to return to the pre-war equilibrium.

Wei Wenjun, who had just succeeded Zhao Fan to the throne in 1806, was not reconciled.

Wei Wenjun's father neglected the reform of arms. He was obsessed with religious mystical cultures such as Buddhism and Brahmanism for a long time, and he was obsessed with the personal feelings of a certain concubine in the harem. Wei Wenjun’s father has some characteristics of "the spring night is short and the day rises up, and the king will not reign early." If it weren't for the relatively peaceful international situation during his reign from 1795 to 1806, if it wasn't for the cabinet system that greatly weakened the royal power, Wei Wenjun's father It is very likely to ruin the continued revival of Zhao Fan's generations of lords.

In order to weaken the negative influence of Wei Wenjun's father, Grandpa Wei Wenjun intervened when Wei Wenjun was obsessed with his concubine and instructed a clan general to adopt and raise Wei Wenjun. Under the influence of his clan generals, Wei Wenjun was born like military, and he joined the army when he was older. When he succeeded Zhao Fan, Wei Wenjun had grown into an outstanding young general. The main reason why Zhao Fan decided to interfere in Zhou Fan's internal affairs was that Wei Wenjun tried to sweep the decadent will of his father's time.

Facing the cowardly ministers of his father's time, Wei Wenjun was very sad.

Wei Wenjun is not only not afraid of Lu Fan and Yan Fan's interference, but also wants to play Zhao Fan's power. Wei Wenjun took advantage of the constitutional convenience of the real monarchy, frequently dismissed the ministers of the war-cowardly faction, and promoted the new warrior faction in high profile. Wei Dongsheng's "main battle faction" was immediately reused by Wei Wenjun. Wei Wenjun did not hesitate to offend countless subordinates in real power, but insisted on his own views and transferred Wei Dongsheng to the Privy Council, serving as the privy deputy envoy equivalent to the vice chairman of the Chinese Military Commission in the real world. With Wei Wenjun's full support, Wei Dongsheng was even able to perform the functions of a privy envoy and indirectly control all military forces in the territory of Zhao Fan.

Time went to 1809, and the smell of gun smoke in northern China became stronger and stronger.

In order to cope with the four-sided crisis, Wei Dongsheng did his best to give full play to Zhao Fan's military advantage, desperately to expand the army and then expand the army, start a mobilization order to pull up a huge military force of 2 million. Zhao Fan’s national strength was unable to maintain a force of 2 million, and he would be defeated for a longer time.

Knowing that Zhao Fan had countless disadvantages, Wei Dongsheng persuaded Wei Wenjun to take the initiative to defeat the Jin, Zhou, and Tang Sanfan Alliance.

In the spring of 1809, Wei Dongsheng ordered 300,000 elite generals and 500,000 conscripts of Zhao Fan to advance westward to attack the Jin and Zhou Dynasties; Wei Dongsheng himself led 100,000 elite and 700,000 new troops to sit in Jizhou Mansion to block Yan Fan. Possible interference; Wei Dongsheng urgently activated another dark move, ordering the former generals of Napoleon and Zhao Fan who had been abducted from Corsica to be stationed in Quang Pingfu and Hejianfu to defend against Lu Fan's possible interference.

The Western Front was the smoothest battlefield. Jin Fan, Zhou Fan, and Tang Fan were all vulnerable and quickly defeated by Zhao Fan's elite.

What to do with San Francisco?

Wei Dongsheng took advantage of the prestige of the war to quickly take over the political affairs, first took the lead as the prime minister of the Zhao Fan cabinet, and then resolutely decided to completely annex San Francisco in the name of the same clan of all summers. In order to alleviate the disgust of the people in the three places, Wei Dongsheng took the initiative to persuade Wei Wenjun to abandon the name of Zhao Fan, take the ancient rule of "three divisions of Jin" and go retrograde, and establish the Northern (Northern China) Commonwealth Community.

Of course, the role of name is very few, the key is whether specific policies are in place.

After the cabinet of Premier Wei Dongsheng Zhao Fan, Tang Fan was changed to Gansu Province, Zhou Fan to Shaanxi Province, Jin Fan to Shanxi Province, Wei Fan’s old land to Shuofang Province, and Zhao Fan to Hebei Province to be completely abandoned. The vaguely about to take shape of the nationalist trend has an iron fist to suppress all regional hostility within the territory. At the same time, Wei Dongsheng took advantage of the power of the industrial revolution to actively encourage population and capital flows in the five provinces to reduce their differences.

These are long-term policies.

In the short-term policy, Wei Dongsheng recognizes the uniqueness of the border areas and knows that the transportation foundation is everything. Wei Dongsheng was unwilling to support Mao Jiuzhong and Yuan Fudao to unite Kyushu because the traffic conditions at that time simply could not sustain the super empire that spread from the northeast to Russia. Nowadays, with the railway, the transportation is much more convenient, and the foundation of the unification of the empire is stronger.

However, the construction of the frontier railway has not yet been completed, and the effort spent on the frontier is bound to outweigh the gain.

In all these cases, Wei Dongsheng compromised, and the kind face allowed the Uzbek region and the Western Regions to autonomy, and sent the Tang Dynasty royal family to Uszang, allowing it to continue hereditary rule of Uzizang through democratic elections; sent the Zhou Dynasty royal family to To the northern borders of the Western Regions, the Jin royal family was sent to the southern borders of the Western Regions, allowing the two families to continue to rule the Western Regions hereditary through democratic elections. After bidding farewell to the royal family of San Francisco, Wei Dongsheng tolerated and allowed all forces loyal to the old royal family to follow the king of San Francisco to defend the frontier. The implication was: "If you want to be loyal to the king of San Francisco, go to the frontier and do your loyalty. If you continue to stay in Sanxing Province, don’t even think about acting under their banner."

Wei Dongsheng finally ordered the elite soldiers to guard the Ganshan and Shaanxi passages, and prohibited the San Francisco forces from returning to Inner Kyushu.

The northern and southern battlefields are difficult.

Let's talk about the northern battlefield. Yan Fan dominates the three northeastern provinces, and remotely controls the Far East, Siberia, and Outer Mongolia. This endless rotten land can absolutely toss any power. Wei Dongsheng has no intention of annexing Yan Fan for the time being. Defensively focuses on preventing Yan Fan from invading. Facts have proved that, compared with Zhao Fan, who is struggling to rule, the fighting power of Yan Fan is quite limited, and the Yan Fan prince dare not launch a general decisive battle between the people and the Northern Commonwealth.

And Yan Fan's few victories in the remote frontiers are also difficult to change the status quo.

Besides the Southern Front War, Lu Fan deserves to be the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, with high morale and extremely high combat effectiveness. It is completely different from the advancing forward on the Western Front and the defensive counterattack advantage on the Northern Front. When the Northern Federal Forces confronted Lu Fan, they basically lost three battles before they could win a battle. Fortunately for now, military tactics are easier to defend than offense. The southern line of defense that Zhao Fan invested in countless financial resources effectively blocked Lu Fan's pursuit of victory.

The stalemate reached 1812, and the Southern Front finally ushered in a turning point. However, the dark chess set by Wei Dongsheng took effect late, and the foreign officer Napoleon suddenly showed his military talent, leading the Northern Zhou forces to defeat the main force of Lu Fan in three battles and three victories. At the same time, Wei Dongsheng's dark chess set in the Lu Fan country promptly launched the workers' group to fight against Lu Fan's cabinet. With such internal and external attacks, Fan Lu had to sign a shameful peace treaty. In addition to obediently acknowledging the status quo of the Northern Federation, he had to cede the former Earl of Weihui and Luoyang in Henan Province to the Northern Commonwealth.

When Lu Fan fell, Yan Fan had no choice but to truce.

From 1809 to 1812, the North achieved a small reunification. At least the Northern Federation had the confidence to ignore the double-deck between Yan Fan and Lu Fan.

Considering that the strength that can be effectively used is the real strength, Wei Dongsheng did not take advantage of the victory and expand the results, but instead stopped the expansion policy completely. Internally, Wei Dongsheng actively encourages the coming electrical industrial revolution in the form of policies and regulations, and invests in infrastructure construction on a large scale, doing his best to integrate the five northern provinces of Gansu, Shuofang, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, etc., and the temporary economic puppets of remote border autonomous regions. Outside, Wei Dongsheng preached geopolitics, saying that the Western Regions and Ustizang were already at the limit of the Northern Federation's rule, and the Northern Federation could not and would not pursue the conquest of Luo Fan, Sheng Meng Fan, Anxi Fan and Penglai Fourteen Republics.
