The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 469: Da Ming’s counterattack
Time flies quickly. In the blink of an eye, it has been three years since Zhong Yu unified the domestic forces and completely summarized all the sectarian forces under his command, completing the true centralization of the monarchy.
In the past three years, many things have happened everywhere in the world, but on the whole they have been relatively stable, and there has been no shock to countries.
However, the whole world is still too far away for Zhong Yu. He only cares about the Ming Dynasty and the situation of the surrounding countries.
After three years of recuperation, the originally mediocre Emperor Ming worked hard to rectify some corrupt officials in the country. Although it did not solve the problem fundamentally, it also made these corrupt officials look better when they were corrupt. Not as ruthless as previously searched.
Because of the crisis of national subjugation, Emperor Ming came down cruelly and drew a large sum of money from his private vault to train an army of 300,000 people.
This army is well-equipped, well-trained, and relatively high-strength. They are all at the top of Tier 3, with 50,000 people already at Tier 4.
The equipment is incredibly powerful and fully embodies the background of the Ming Dynasty as an empire.
We must know that Zhong Yu plundered the heavens and worlds and scoured an unknown amount of resources before reluctantly forming an army of 15,000 mysterious masters.
Even if it later suppressed the sect, collected the capable children of the sect, and absorbed a group of wandering powerhouses, it could only organize a world army of 40,000 people.
These are the teams that Zhong Yu sacrificed his speed of attacking the heavens and the world, and risked being attacked by the sects around the empire.
Look at the Ming Dynasty, a dead-end empire, with no more than half of the territory before the war. It was able to easily pull out a new world army of 50,000 people, and the strength suddenly reached the level that Zhong Yu painstakingly built.
And this is not the entire power of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the 300,000 new army, the Ming court still has an old army with a scale of 1.2 million, including many Tier 4 forces.
A total of about 100,000.
From this, we can see the gap between Yuguo as an emerging country on this continent and the established empires in this world.
This is just a Ming Dynasty that has come to an end. If it is replaced by other Dajin Dahan Dawei empires that have not experienced internal strife, suffered external disasters, and suffered a great loss of strength, I am afraid that their strength will be even more terrifying.
After three years of rectification and rectification of officials, the voice of the people in the Ming Dynasty has recovered a lot, and the life of the people has been a little longer, no longer complaining as before, and an uprising is possible at any time.
Because of the emperor's ruthlessness, he donated his inner treasury. In addition, a prince and aristocracy and local tycoons and officials who had just been closely related to the Ming Dynasty made donations to make a surplus for the Ming Dynasty treasury, which had completely exhausted its finances, and had this little money in reserve.
In addition to the completion of the compilation and training of 300,000 new troops, it gave the emperor and the ministers a great sense of security and confidence.
So he felt that his strength was almost restored, and the Emperor Ming, who had a certain amount of extra energy to restore his lost territory, made up his mind to go to war.
And the target of the war is not the Dajin Empire, which is close at hand, or the imperial kingdom established by Zhong Yu, the anti-thief that the Ming Dynasty believed to be a soft persimmon.
Except that the north is close to Dajin, the remaining two provinces have 500,000 border troops not moving, plus the 300,000 border troops in the west need to defend against the enemy and cannot move lightly.
The remaining 400,000 old troops will remove 100,000 imperial troops to stay in the imperial capital, and 100,000 troops will stay in places to maintain basic security. The remaining 200,000 troops were all mobilized, and after a little training, they formed a 500,000 southern expedition army with 300,000 new troops. The target points to Jiangdu City, located in the six southern provinces, as the imperial capital.
When the news of the rebellion of the Southern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty came, the entire original area of the Ming Dynasty was shaken, and they discussed the pros and cons of the two armies, their victory and defeat, and how the war would affect the people everywhere.
What the local tycoons care about is that after the Ming Dynasty army comes over, do they choose to take refuge or wait and see?
As for helping Yuguo resist the attack of the Ming Dynasty, it was a joke, even Zhong Yu didn't dare to think like that.
Zhong Yu ruled this land for only 45 years, and it was very short-lived. Compared with the reign of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, the influence on the place was negligible.
What's more, everyone can clearly see that the Ming Dynasty has an absolute overwhelming advantage over this newly established imperial state.
Not only does it have a quantitative and qualitative advantage in the army at the bottom, but it also does not fall behind in the high-level combat power.
The most important thing is that there was an eighth-tier master in the Ming Dynasty, but the opposite Yuguo did not.
This is the most important thing.
Unless Yuguo also has an eighth rank, it would be nothing more than talk. As long as the eighth-tier powerhouses of the Ming Dynasty take action~IndoMTL.com~All the resistance of Yuguo will become useless, which is that absolute quality overwhelms quantity.
For a while, all the forces in the imperial kingdom moved frequently and started to connect with each other, trying to find a way for themselves.
However, they didn't dare to do big moves. After all, with Zhong Yu's deterrence to destroy those sects before, these forces did not dare to act rashly. For fear that before the Ming Dynasty came over, they would be wiped out by Zhong Yu as an internal hazard, and there was no time to cry at that time.
Actually, Yuguo had already anticipated the Ming Dynasty’s aggression, or countering the rebellion, and when things did happen now, although there were certain fears, there was no panic on the whole.
Think about it and you will know. For today's Ming Dynasty, whether it is to the north, because of the annexation of the land of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty, the greater Jin Dynasty, or the surrounding other empires that have no loss in strength and ensured the basic power of the dynasty.
When the eighth-tier powerhouses agreed with each other that they were not allowed to arbitrarily intervene in the military and politics of other countries, the military strength of each country alone could not be moved by the broken Ming Empire.
So after deliberation, whether it is for the sake of self-interest or to maintain the orthodoxy of the dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably take action against the weak and anti-thief Yuguo.
However, no matter how strong Daming is, Zhong Yu, who has an extraordinary background and self-confidence, can't be captured by his hands and let Daming kill him.
In response to the attacking army of the Ming Dynasty, finally began to mobilize the domestic army, actively preparing for the challenge.
And constantly instructing officials and guards in various parts of the country to maintain local stability during wartime, to ensure that the local people can live normally, and to prevent those powerful sects from causing trouble and secretly colluding with Da Ming.
