Chapter 320 The world is in turmoil, three years period

Facing the strong rise of the Xia Kingdom, other princes in the north and even the Central Region were quite wary, because the potential of this country was so amazing.

First of all, the king of Xia built his foundation from scratch. The country was free from infirmities and the officials were in charge. This allowed a country's destiny to be fully utilized for development.

The institutional structure of the entire imperial court is complete, the royal power extends deep into the countryside without backlash, and the territory under its jurisdiction has become increasingly popular among the people. The proportion of red legal nets in each county ranks first among the vassal states.

Secondly, the army is tyrannical, and the core force has rarely suffered a defeat since its establishment. The Demon-Suppressing Army, the Forbidden Army, and the Guards and Guards Army, including the new Snow Dragon Riders that have recently appeared in the outside world, are top-notch military forces in any country.

Finally, it is an unprecedented national policy that cannot be copied by the princes. The extraordinary powers of martial immortals, gods, and Buddhas are integrated by Zhou Bai. At the moment when the spiritual energy recovery world is rapidly expanding, it is almost expected that its ambitions and hegemony will be limitless.

The Xia Kingdom has such a solid foundation and foundation that no Qianlong who aspires to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan would dare to ignore it and allow it to expand.

It's not like they didn't think about obstructing Jing Heng's ability to combine vertical and horizontal directions, and the princes secretly contributed to it.

Invited by Jing Heng, he became a famous teacher.

The Ling State in the north sent an army of hundreds of thousands to attack Liangzhou, and the Yan State used a hundred thousand irons to cross thousands of miles of snowfields to spy on Dingzhou. Even the small princes of Daizhou were not at ease.

If it weren't for the extremely complete military and fort system at the border of Dingzhou, and the hundreds of thousands of Yanqi had no choice but to divert and attack Daizhou, Lu Ding would definitely have some delusional idea of ​​recapturing the land of Xinglong.

This is already the case in the northern border, and the actions of princes outside the northern border are even more frequent.

The Jin army went south to capture the Cangbei grassland again, and confronted the Xia army at the border pass of Cangbei County; Wufan Kingdom took the opportunity to go south to protect the Buddha with force, and tens of thousands were killed and wounded in the battles of Dashan Pass and Wuwei; Xishu Ba Kingdom forced out regardless of the turmoil in the rear Shu tried to occupy Qinzhou as a fisherman; the princes of Dongtai temporarily suspended the Tianjiang trade with Xia, reduced the external supply of various resources, etc.

Even Xu Chao, who was in trouble internally and externally, did not stop Jing Heng from burning his luck. Instead, he added fuel to the flames and provided more luck support.

If it weren't for the fact that all the princes and powers in the world weren't watching with eager eyes, trying to jointly curb Xia's strong rise, how could a mere Remnant Dragon warlord have delayed it for so long.

After Zhou Bai established a large-scale Xia army, he often adopted the method of king and hegemony when opening up foreign territories. With the powerful army leading in combat power, he pushed forward and pushed forward, and few troops were in danger.

In order to start a business quickly, it is inevitable to take risks in the early stage, but how can you often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?

Face-to-face confrontation and victory with overwhelming national strength is the correct way for great powers to compete for hegemony.

In the battle of Wuwei, Zhou Bai was not able to personally lead the troops and make unexpected moves, which was a manifestation of the critical situation of Xia Kingdom.

In early May of the tenth year of Tongzhi, three months had passed since King Zhou Bai of Xia took control of Chang'an. The entire Qinzhou quickly stabilized and was completely brought under the rule of Xia.

This is not only because the Xia Kingdom's court is extremely efficient, but also because of the rest and recuperation policy announced by the Xia Kingdom to the outside world. It will not use weapons for three years and is committed to benefiting the people.

Since Zhou Bai was established, he has always been in a leading position in the fight for the dragon. He is a key player in accelerating the world's fight for the dragon. He has a high reputation among hundreds of millions of people and even the gentry.

Now you suddenly announce that the Xia Kingdom will rest for three years. After three years, I don’t know how many princes in the world will remember the Xia Kingdom in the northern corner.

Luck, status, and orthodoxy, don’t you want these?
Many aristocratic families who were waiting and watching felt sorry for this, thinking that Zhou Bai had made a huge mistake and it was a woman's kindness to pity the people.

The princes who were extremely concerned about the Xia Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief. On the surface, they encouraged it and praised Zhou Bai as the Holy Lord. Secretly, they withdrew the troops gathered on the border of the Xia Kingdom and lifted the blockade against the Xia Kingdom. .

A Northern Hidden Dragon who wants to be the Holy Lord is no threat to these powerful dragons, so why waste resources.

At first, neighbors such as King Jin and Bagong thought Zhou Bai was just trying to delay the war, but after three months of continuous observation, they found that Xia State was really engaged in internal affairs construction.

Qinzhou's eight counties were geographically separated and traffic was jammed, so Xia State allocated countless money and grains to spend on building roads and bridges. More than 20 people participated in it, and a lively scene naturally unfolded.

Not to mention, batches of frontline troops were disarmed and rested, and a large number of Confucian civil servants were activated.

This is not something that can be staged. It mainly involves the use of a large amount of manpower and material resources, and is manifested in the loss of luck.

At least in the past three months, in the eyes of the Taoist officials under the princes, the Xia Kingdom's rising national destiny has come to a standstill.

The menacing Daxia ichthyosaur, which looked like a tiger looking at the northern border, actually retracted the Tianzhu on the dragon's head and began to recuperate.

With actual actions and luck trends, the outside world's attention to Xia Kingdom disappeared in an instant.

Regardless of whether Zhou Bai wants to be the real Holy Lord or the false Holy Lord, at present, there is no threat to the Xia Kingdom, and his own national power cannot be wasted on this kind of illusory joint containment.

For a time, not only did the encirclement pressure faced by the Xia Kingdom disappear, but also a large number of envoys from the princes began to rush to Longshouyuan. They wanted to sign various trade treaties with the Xia Kingdom and tried to express their friendship.

There is no need for the two sides to attack and fight, and it is best for Xia State not to help a third country.

The Xia Kingdom rested for three years, which other countries did not do. In the north, the war for hegemony will definitely become more intense in the next three years.

In June, after it was confirmed that Zhou Bai, the Great Dragon of the North, had really laid down his troops and cultivated his writings, the princes of the North began their respective general offensives.

But it was the Kingdom of Jin that kicked off the event first. The summer grassland was when the pastures were fertile, and the cavalry regiments could conduct long-distance expeditions. Horses and livestock used as food could be supplied everywhere.

Hu Yanhe went south several times and was defeated. Especially in the last two battles, Huo Feiguang made him lose face. This time after Xia Kingdom announced to rest and recuperate, unexpectedly they did not go south to harass, but instead launched conquests on other grasslands.

Sixty thousand Jin troops marched into the Rouran Grassland, annexing tribes large and small along the way, and everyone surrendered wherever they went.

In mid-June, the Jin army reached the Xiliang Governor's Mansion, and Huo Feiguang took the opportunity to recruit powerful horses in the territory to form a cavalry regiment.Zhou Baifa issued a letter of credence and asked Hu Yanhe whether to start another war between the two countries.

I thought that the Jin Kingdom did not want to fight, and would at least be tough on the surface, but Hu Yanhe's response was to lead another [-] Jin troops into Mobei.

Such a gesture makes it obvious that the Jin Kingdom's hegemony lies in the grassland and the yellow sand desert.

At this time, idle soldiers and horses from all over the Xia Kingdom were quietly gathering towards the border. There were at least [-] more horses, barely enough for a large-scale war on the grasslands.

After learning about the Jin Army's developments, Xia State's senior officials held emergency meetings more than once to discuss the situation.

"It happened that the next three years were all for repairs. I wanted to solve the trouble first at all costs, but I didn't expect that the Jin Army didn't come?"

"The top-secret information has not been leaked. It seems that the Jin Kingdom, like our country, has temporarily changed its national policy. Perhaps it wants to unify the grasslands first."

"The princes all said that my king was indecisive and made a bad move, but I don't want Huyan and this old opponent to believe it. It is not wrong to become the black dragon first... In this case, the whole country's army rectification can also begin."

In July of the [-]th year of Tongzhi, the Xia State held an additional examination for Enke, and he was awarded more than [-] people in Qinzhou, including [-] people from the governor's office in Xiliang.

In August, the Ministry of War of the Xia State and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army issued a reorganization notice, and each army and department followed the order and reorganized and trained.

In Daizhou, faced with the aggressive force of the Yan army's cavalry, after Daizhou lost two counties one after another, the remaining warlord forces in Dainan chose to obey the order of Daihou Lu Ding and fight the powerful enemy together across Hezhou.

Fighting on the mainland and relying on the city, the Yan army made slow progress. The King of Yan was not able to mobilize troops from home for support many times, and the scale of the war expanded without limit.

Lingzhou, the Ling Kingdom did not remain quiet for long after the collapse of Liangzhou. King Ling ordered all the newly harvested summer grain to support Lu Ding against the Yan army, while launching an attack on the remaining two major counties of Tongzhou.

Although the Xia Kingdom wants to develop internally, it will not sit back and watch the entire territory of Tongzhou fall when Qinzhou and Tongzhou are adjacent. Various resources are imported into the water-bearing counties and Linjiang counties through the Tianjiang River.

The new term mercenary appeared for the first time in Tianyuan Continent. Civilian warriors from the Xia Kingdom were hired by the Shuishui Kingdom and the Linjiang Kingdom and went to the battlefield to fight against the soldiers of the Ling Kingdom.

King Ling sent envoys three times to question Xia's officials, but the replies he received were all "voluntary among the people", leaving him helpless and without legal basis.

The prosperous and prosperous land of Tongzhou, with the support of the "people" of Xia State, turned into a meat grinding ground for the Ling Army.

For more than a year, a strange situation appeared in the northern land. The Xia Kingdom in the far north was peaceful, while other states and countries were fighting together, and the flames of war continued without end.

Daizhou lost another county. Although Daihou Lu Ding took the opportunity to occupy the four counties, he still had to face the huge pressure from the Yan army and was not allowed to cede huge benefits to ask Lingguo for help.

In order to prevent the Yan State from becoming bigger, after the Ling State reluctantly captured the water-bearing county, it acquiesced in the existence of Linjiang County as a nail, and the main force entered Daizhou.

In the 11th year of Tongzhi, the situation in the Central Region changed.

In March, Emperor Tongzhi of the Xu Dynasty was forbidden to ambush the regent in the palace, but he was killed by poison instead. Tongzhi's two-year-old only son was secretly sent to Luozhou by his confidants.

In May, the Xu Dynasty split. Most of the civil servants and some of the late emperors were loyal to the throne and made Prince Jinglin the emperor in Luozhou. They issued a document to the world and accused the regent Jingrui of rebellion.

Within three days, the imperial group of elders invited the concubine of the Xiangxing Dynasty to make Jingrui the emperor, refuting the remarks of the Luo Xu court, and establishing herself as orthodox.

Both parties agree that Zhi is the first emperor, and while one party is still rebellious, the Yuan Dynasty will not be changed for the time being.

However, a super melee gradually spread from the Xu Chao controlled area to the entire Central Region.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Xu Dynasty is defeated, it will still be fat. The princes have to get involved if they want to get a share of the pie.

Of course, all these storms have nothing to do with Xia Guo, and the three-year development plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In February of the 12th year of Tongzhi, the mission of suppressing bandits in Qinzhou came to an end. The natural barriers of the eight counties were completely opened up and people from all over the country were able to travel freely. The Dragon and Tiger Law Network was stable and dark red, and the public approval was unprecedented.

In March, the Xia Kingdom's official communique stated that 300 million acres of new farmland had been acquired, [-] state-owned pastures had been expanded, and more than [-] broodmares could be bred...

In April, the Spring Festival was held, and the number of new scholars studying official studies exceeded the previous ones, reaching more than [-], including more than [-] from the Xiliang Dudu Prefecture.

In June, more than 530 workshops directly under the Ministry of Industry were built, and their specific uses were classified as Class A secrets. However, there were rumors from insiders that loud noises were heard in the workshops.

In August, the Xia Army completed two years of training and reorganization. The Central Army was divided into 15 personal guards and [-] imperial guards...

During this period, the [-] Vajra Army composed of monk soldiers that had been reorganized showed its prowess in the Xiliang Dudu Mansion in the first battle, defeating [-] tribal soldiers from the Rouran Grassland who had fled into the country.

In addition, the various Central Military Forces also performed in their own way, giving the "friendly" neighbors a small shock of force, so that they did not dare to provoke any more.

Lu Ding of Dai Prefecture could not stop the Ling Kingdom of Yan State, and wanted to use Ding Prefecture as a retreat, so he sent [-] troops to test the defense of Dingxi, hoping to see if Xia State's rest was enough to let Nanshan go.

However, it was not necessary for the central army to take action to retrieve Fifty Wandai Prefecture's disease. The Dingzhou garrison had already beaten him back in succession, which not only stopped him from thinking about it, but also made him despair.

Such a powerful Xia Kingdom has been quiet for three years?

This was a terrifying deterrent. Lu Ding didn't even dare to think about what would happen if Zhou Bai decided to go south. Could he only pray that Xia Guo would restrain himself?
There is no true king in the north, and the three-year period is approaching...
