Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 416 Changes and Goals

In fact, just as Shen Chengping estimated, there are indeed a lot of hidden people in the Buddhist sect in Jiangnan, but because Shen Chengping has just gone through the bottom-hunting move against the Buddhist sect in Jiangnan, although the rebellion in Jiangnan has caused a lot of noise, it is still in one place. It all subsided within a few months. At this time, Xu Xingzhi also agreed that Shen Chengping had ignored the opposition of many high-level officials in the Ming army and insisted on attacking Buddhism. It can be said that if this was not the case, the rebellion in various places in the south of the Yangtze River would never have been possible. To be evaluated so quickly, it will last at least half a year, and the Ming army will need to go all out to suppress it, and it will consume a lot of vitality of the Ming army. At least two or three years will not be allowed to mobilize troops abroad. This will also miss the critical period. Lee Clan has time to expand.

At the same time, the Ming army also encountered a lot of troubles in attacking Bashu. However, with the cooperation of the Sichuan Gang, one of the three major forces, and several times of using gunpowder to break through the dangerous pass, the difficulty of attacking the key point was greatly reduced. It fell into Shen Chengping's hands, and what Shen Chengping didn't expect was that because the Sovereign Fort blocked the Ming army, Song Que went to Bashu in person after getting the news, and directly cut down with the sky knife to understand Hui's head, took away Song Yuhua, the Sovereign Fort fell apart, and Xie Wenlong died in the turmoil shortly thereafter, which also allowed the Ming army to pacify Bashu at a faster speed, and even took advantage of the fact that the Li Clan finally wiped out the remnants of Liu Wuzhou in the north At that time, he went north by surprise and captured Hanzhong, and took down the bridgehead to attack Chang'an.

At this time, Yuwen Clan also had a big battle with Wagangzhai, killed the leader Zhai Rang, and Li Mi who took control of Wagangzhai fought hard with the army led by Yu Wenhua and Yuwen Chengdu, but no one could do anything about it Who, after a stalemate for a while, it was Dou Jiande, king of Xia, who suddenly appeared on the battlefield and helped Li Mi defeat Yuwen's army in Chengdu. Shandong expanded and soon occupied Shandong, Hebei.

It's just that Li Mi was eager for success, but he made a fatal mistake under Luoyang City. Instead, he was severely injured by the Yuwen Clan. After leaving Luoyang, the Ming army also took advantage of this opportunity to annex the territory of Wagangzhai. In the world, there were only three major forces left in the world: the Ming army, the Tang army of the Li Clan, and the Xia army of Dou Jiande. The Tang army is the strongest, followed by the Tang army, and the Xia army is the weakest.

Under such circumstances, the Tang army took the initiative to form an alliance with the Xia army. In the following year, 24 elites of the Ming army plus 20 civilian husbands, more than 20 troops left Hanzhong and went straight to Chang'an, the root of the Tang army. The Tang army guarded Chang'an with [-] troops. At the same time, contact Dou Jiande to go south to contain the Ming army.

There are 20 troops guarding Chang'an and its surrounding areas, echoing each other from afar. It was impenetrable, but Shen Chengping sent [-] troops directly into Chang'an City by virtue of Yang Gong's secret passage, occupying the city gate at night, and entering Chang'an City , Without the geographical advantage, the two sides fought fiercely in Chang'an City, and the [-] troops of the assistant Chang'an were all lost. Only Li Shimin escaped from Chang'an with thousands of troops, and finally the Ming army occupied Guanzhong and stopped at the natural danger of Tongguan.

So far, the Ming army has taken the lead in the fight for the world. The East Turks cooperated with Li Tang and Xia army to send troops at the same time, but they were ambushed by the Ming army instead, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of bones. Bi Xuan also died in the hands of Shen Chengping. When the Western Turks challenged their grassland supremacy, they were no longer able to go south.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Chengping pressed Li Shimin and Dou Jiande every step of the way. Three years later, he ruled the world and successfully established the Ming Dynasty. Song Yuzhi became a noble concubine, and then took advantage of the conflict between the Eastern and Western Turks, and sent Kou Zhong and Li Jing to go north to the grassland, and took back more than [-] slaves, and millions of cattle and sheep. The men participated in large-scale projects such as the restoration of Chang'an City in the new dynasty. Most of the women became the trophies of the soldiers who went to war, and the cattle and sheep became the welfare of the people of the new dynasty.

Since then, the new dynasty, which has tasted the sweetness, will send a large army to the north every year to sweep, and the scope has also expanded from the grasslands to the countries of the Western Regions, Korea, and southern countries, and even started the road of overseas conquest.

At the same time, the Holy Gate, which underwent some theoretical transformation, reappeared in front of everyone. The two sects of the Holy Gate, headed by the Yinkui Sect, also became the righteous leaders of the Great Ming Wulin. Under the auspices of the gradual recovery, on the contrary, the influence of the Buddhist sect was hit hard, and Cihang Jingzhai also lost its status as a holy place of martial arts. It was only because of consideration that the Yinkui sect could not have no opponents, and the Buddhist sect could not be completely eradicated, so it was not wiped out. .

In the tenth year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Chengping personally went to assess Goryeo, occupied the Korean peninsula, established counties and counties, established Liaodong Wei in Liaodong, and discovered gold mines, which triggered a large-scale gold rush, and also made the imperial court's emigration to Liaodong more difficult. It went well.

In the 20th year since the founding of the emperor, the countries of the Western Regions and the southern grasslands have been steadily incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The northern grasslands have also accepted the enfeoffment of the Ming Dynasty, and the "Eight Banners of the Grasslands" have been established. At the same time, Zhennan Gong Song Shidao also discovered Lu Song Island overseas. , Shen Chengping deliberately allowed the Song clan to establish a country in Lu Song, and at the same time opened the prelude to entrusting meritorious ministers and princes to build a country overseas.

In the 40 years since the founding of the emperor, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded one-third of that of the Li and Tang Dynasties in history. At the same time, there are more than 35 vassal states that have been enfeoffed, and hundreds of small countries that have been subordinated. Their influence has directly expanded to Southeast Asia and Oceania in later generations. the Middle East.The only strange thing is that at the time when the court was at its peak, Shen Chengping, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who looked like he was still in his twenties because of his contribution to fortune, suddenly announced his abdication and passed the throne to the [-]-year-old The eldest son, Shen Qingyu, began to travel around the country.

A few years later, Shen Chengping appeared in a mountain range, looked at the palace in front of him, and said to himself: "We finally waited for 30 years, if it wasn't for the records left by the previous generation of devil emperors to Yu Tian, After many searches, I really didn't know that this was the entrance to the Jingyan Palace. The last time the Jingyan Palace was opened, although I knew the location, but because of ordinary things, I could only give up the opportunity when the new dynasty was not stable. Today, 30 years later, it has been more than [-] years since I entered the Shattered Realm. Because I was worried about leaving the Shattered Void, I haven’t used my martial arts with all my strength for a long time. The world’s rejection of me is getting bigger and bigger. Before, I have seen the Four Great Books of Longevity and the Heavenly Demon Strategy, and Cihang Jingzhai has already presented the Cihang Sword Code, so let me see the God of War catalogue!"
