In the palace of Kaia Melina in Yucheng Castle, she looked at the gemstone bracelet that the Duke had given her. Thinking of the good times she had spent with the Duke, Kaia Melina kept reminding herself that she was a woman, so she had to put this Deep longing will always be buried in my heart.
Kaya Melina walked to the castle window alone and looked at the imperial garden downstairs in a daze. After a while, two figures of a man and a woman came into her eyes. They seemed to be wandering in the garden. The man was clearly running amok. The immortal emperor of southern Xinjiang for hundreds of years, this evil thief is also his nominal husband.
Kaya Melina saw the old thief holding Dia Melissa's waist, carelessly making love to her sister, like a couple in love. She really couldn't figure out why her fourth sister would marry this evil thief? Fortunately, the Immortal Emperor has never touched her since he got married, which gives me some comfort in my heart. At least my innocence has not been stained by this evil thief, even if it is only temporary...
In early October, after hearing the call of the puppet master Changsheng Emperor, the states in southern Xinjiang sent envoys to gather in Yucheng and expressed their willingness to go to the Jin Dynasty with the emperor to meet his son. After all, the Jin army's southern expedition not long ago caused the Tai Sha, the overlord of southern Xinjiang, was pressed to the ground and rubbed. This was a shock to the hearts of the countries in southern Xinjiang that were attached to Tai Sha. It was as shocking as a big country in the East knocking out the American emperor with one punch. This made Everyone realizes that the international order has changed, and countries like them must quickly take a stand.
In the past, the Jin army's use of troops in southern Xinjiang was limited to the expansion of the four Lingnan counties, and most of them were barbaric lands. There were only some tribes in those places that no one obeyed. The war to open up the south did not actually cause much damage to the countries in southern Xinjiang. The influence of the Jin Dynasty's Southern Expedition was just to let the countries in Southern Xinjiang hear that a super giant country was coming from the north, that's all. However, when Taisha, the old overlord of Southern Xinjiang, was defeated, the effect was immediately different. The national stimulus is huge, and the diplomatic level has simply given the southern Xinjiang states a critical hit of 10,000 points.
The reason why Taisha was defeated so miserably this time had a lot to do with the fact that Taisha's government and the public underestimated the enemy too much. In the past, Taisha had only competed fiercely with the Shan Puppet and the Xi Clan, but he had never competed with the Great Jin, nor did he. Know the military strength of the Jin army.
At that time, the total number of Shanpu and Jin coalition forces was not as large as Taisha's army. In addition to Taisha's 600,000 regular troops, plus Taisha's slave soldiers who were responsible for transporting grain and grass, the total number was almost close to one million. It was indeed considered In the decisive battle that exhausted all the national strength, Taisha finally realized the gap when he actually faced off against the elite troops of the Central Plains Dynasty. His so-called elite divisions were equivalent to the level of the second and third line troops of the Jin Army. The real elite of the Jin Dynasty. After a few rounds, Taisha lost his troops and generals, and was defeated.
It can be said that the reason why many big countries in history made low-level mistakes of experts in civil war and outsiders in foreign wars has a lot to do with not understanding the enemy, or it is caused by a blind and arrogant mentality. They always feel that they are the absolute boss in this area. But what is not clear is that the world is actually much bigger than I imagined. As time goes by, I will always encounter enemies that I cannot deal with.
The main reason why the Qing Dynasty suffered two disastrous defeats in the Opium War was that the imperial court had no global vision at all. They always felt that they were the absolute hegemon in East Asia, so they were very satisfied with their current situation. In fact, they just closed the door and enjoyed themselves. When someone drove a steamship, carried a flintlock gun, and knocked on the door, they realized that Chaoshangguo was just an outdated dream, and the loss of the country and humiliation of power was a certainty.
The idiom "Yelang is arrogant" can be used to describe others as well as oneself. In addition to losing the country and humiliating its power, the modern history of humiliation has also taught us, a "chaoshangbang" that has always set its sights on the top, to learn two words: humility, and the ability to behave correctly and equally. Look at the existence of other countries and civilizations, instead of being so arrogant and arrogant as in the past that you think you are the only developed civilization on the Blue Star. At a glance, you can see that the surroundings are all barbarians who drink blood.
In the past, when the Jin Dynasty used troops against Lingnan, it was the Xi tribe that really caused harm to the countries in southern Xinjiang. The Jin Dynasty's southern expedition to Lingnan was a solid contest with the Xi tribe. Unsurprisingly, the Xi tribe also suffered a disastrous defeat. , a lot of territory was lost. Among them, most of the territory of Xiang County among the four Lingnan counties was snatched from the land of the former tribes and established as counties. Shanpou also borders the four Lingnan counties of Dajin. Some territory was lost to some extent, but those territories They were originally surrendered by some tribes, which were equivalent to affiliated tribes belonging to the Shanpuppet. If they were lost, they would be lost. In fact, it would not have a big impact on the core interests of the Shanpuppet. At most, they would lose face.
In the hands of Borges, the Mountain Puppet also used this opportunity to join forces with the Xi clan, and often launched wars to harass the borders of the Jin Dynasty, but they did not dare to make any serious moves. The upper echelons of both countries were very aware of the strength of the Jin army.
This time it was Gongzi Sheng's turn to take power. Facing the Jin army's large-scale march southward, he did not hesitate and directly chose twenty shots. Otherwise, he would end up being pushed to the high ground by the Jin army's troops and the crystal would be crushed.
Now the emperor wants to call on all the countries in southern Xinjiang to go to the Central Plains to kneel down and call him daddy. The reaction of all the countries in southern Xinjiang was dismissive at first. It was not until the disastrous defeat of Taisha, the overlord of southern Xinjiang, that they understood who the real father was. , even the Lord of the Mountain Puppets, the Immortal Emperor, knelt down. There was no reason why a country like me should not kneel down. For the country, having more godfathers in the world would at least provide a lot of room for mediation in diplomacy.
At the moment, Mu Sheng's wishful thinking is to take the various states in southern Xinjiang to the Jin Dynasty to meet his son and pay homage to the dock. This is a big deal for the emperor. For the emperor, he is rich all over the world. What treasures and peerless beauties are there for him? It's so easy to get, and the material aspect is basically unattractive. When all the foreign guests come to court, it will be more honorable for the emperor. Not only can it add a lot of color to the history books, but it can also strengthen the legitimacy of the entire dynasty and the emperor himself.
Mu Sheng has five thousand years of historical memories of Chinese civilization in his head, so he is naturally familiar with this stuff. The purpose of his trip is naturally to be tied to the Jin Dynasty. He knows very well that the Jin Dynasty has no intention of going south again. After expansion, as we headed south, the Central Plains people could no longer accept the climatic conditions. This was already the limit of the empire's expansion.
The four Lingnan counties on the southern border of the empire have always been regarded by the imperial officials as the places where officials were demoted and sent to other places. Many officials from the Central Plains came to work in Lingnan and died of illness within a few years because they were not accustomed to the acclimatization. Not to mention the mountain puppets in the south, the territory of the former tribe. It's not a place for people to come.
The Jin army's southern expedition to Taisha also came in the autumn and winter. They did not dare to come in the spring and summer. It is estimated that more than half of the army fell ill. Lu Sheng, who has been conducting southern Xinjiang all year round, is very aware of his own weaknesses. In this era Medical conditions are limited, the reality is such a blessing
It's a pity that Taisha doesn't understand this truth. If they knew that the Jin army had this weakness, as long as they used the old tradition of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, and not engaging in frontal combat, when the spring and summer seasons heat up, the Jin army would not be able to withstand large-scale non-combat attrition. Naturally, So he withdrew his troops and went back. There was no need to fight. The master directly helped. Unfortunately, history never has what-ifs.
On the other hand, this strategy can also be used by the Mountain Puppet. The biggest problem of the Mountain Puppet is that the surrounding international environment is unfriendly. There are strong leaders on the side, Taisha in the south and Xi tribe in the west. Their soldiers can There is no problem of acclimatization. As long as the support from the Jin Dynasty is strong enough and they unite with one of the Xi clan and Taisha to encircle Shanpu, Shanpu will only end up with the destruction of its country and the extinction of its species.
The Jin army subjugated the country with a single Ping A mountain puppet, and then turned ruthless and used a big backhand to capture Taisha. The war in southern Xinjiang was basically concluded successfully. In fact, Lu Sheng originally wanted to persuade the emperor to do this, but Mu Sheng stopped him in time. After being persuaded, Shan Puppet may have been dragged back alive by Mu Sheng from the edge of subjugation. Yes, Shan Puppet's biggest survival crisis is the Chaoshang State in the Central Plains.
A few months later, the envoys of the Jin Dynasty arrived at Shanpuyucheng and read out the edict. The main message of the imperial edict was: The emperor was very happy that Shanpu was so sensible, and he also welcomed the King of Zhennan and all the other countries in the southern border to come to see his son. Naturally, the counties and counties along the way wanted to visit him. After receiving the envoys from various countries with high standards, Mu Sheng was naturally very happy when he saw that the important matter had been decided...
The next day, Muyinaqi carefully braided Mu Sheng's unique hair braid. After twisting the last braid on his head, he was done.
Mu Sheng summoned the water mirror and took a look. He did indeed look like a mountain puppet. He turned back to Muyinaqi and said, "Yeah! It really looks like that."
Muyinaqi smiled and said: "It's indeed not bad. He has the bravery of our mountain puppets."
Mu Sheng held Muyinaqi's jade hand and said: "After I leave, the affairs here will be left to you. I'm afraid it will take more than half a year to go back and forth. You must pay close attention to Princess Lisa's affairs. The stakes are high.”
Muyinaqi nodded and said, "Well! Don't worry, I'll take care of everything here."
Outside the castle where Mu Sheng came out, the envoys from various countries in southern Xinjiang were dressed in their own national costumes, colorful and strange. They were waiting for the emperor to show up and were ready to go on a mission to the Central Plains together.
There seemed to be tens of thousands of missions from various countries inside and outside the castle. The missions from various countries ranged from hundreds to thousands. Among them, the Laima Kingdom mission was actually led by the patriarch Ahorami himself.
Ahrami is dressed in the national costume of the Sanmu tribe, with silver hair shawl and a turban, which still has a unique style.
Seeing this, Mu Sheng stepped forward and said hello: "How are you, the patriarch?"
Ahrami smiled slightly and said, "I have met the great emperor."
Mu Sheng said: "You are the leader of the patriarch's envoy personally? You can just send someone else there, why bother to go there yourself?"
Ahrami smiled and said: "After the restoration of the country, I have already taken care of some things in the country. For important events such as the audience with the son, I must do it myself. This time I went to the Jin Dynasty to meet the son. Paying tribute is one thing. Your Majesty actually needs me to take care of you."
When Mu Sheng heard this, his heart moved. It seemed that after the emperor came back from the dead, he still wanted to cultivate immortality and live forever.
Mu Sheng nodded and said: "Yes! I understand. Do you plan to stay with me temporarily when you go to Dajin this time?"
Ahlami nodded slightly in agreement, with a smile on her face. It seemed that the restoration of the country had finally come true. Her long-cherished wish for many years had been fulfilled. She was not like the past, with a slightly sad look on her face. Waiting After more than a hundred years, I finally waited until today...
At this time in Yucheng, Duke Potuchi Jiakun was wearing a burqa and hiding among the crowds who were seeing off the envoy. After seeing the Emperor's envoy leaving Yucheng, he finally couldn't hold back his excitement, turned around and sneaked into the castle, intending to After secretly meeting Princess Lina, the Duke sneaked into the castle and found that the normally well-guarded castle had no guards at all?
Potuchijiakun spread out his movements and easily bypassed the few guards. The Duke's heart moved. It seemed that the Emperor Changsheng had deliberately given him the green light. He couldn't help but secretly thank the Emperor for his openness...
