Chapter 861: The world is unified
"The world is unified!" That is what many generations of dynastic rulers have been looking forward to, but there have only been three in the history of the entire human race that can really unify the central Taizhou, and that is the famous Three Emperors. Others are either not strong enough, or they are thwarted, and in short, they all fall short in the end. Some people speculate that it was the Three Emperors who intervened, after all, the emergence of a unified dynasty, the only disadvantage was them. Only the divided Central Taizhou, in order to gain their support, will those people wholeheartedly believe in them. Once the dynasty is unified, it is really difficult to say whether the rulers at that time will sell their face or not.
Of course, this statement has not been confirmed, and the Three Emperors are transcendent from things, and whether they really care about this kind of worship are two theories. And those people can't be unified, they are all under external pressure, and it's not that the Three Emperors directly attacked, at least those people can't find evidence that the Three Emperors made a move. So for so many years, they have all acquiesced to the rules set by the Three Emperors, and there must be five emperors in Central Taizhou. Since it is impossible to unify Taizhou, it is meaningless to compare the baht, which is why there is room for those small countries to survive. The existence of those small states was mainly to ease the conflicts between the major dynasties. Later, the power of those kingdoms gradually grew, and they did not annex the dynasty and became one of the new Five Emperors. But for the most part, the kingdom can only influence the outcome of the war, but not the outcome of the war.
Perhaps those small countries uniting and clinging to a certain dynasty can indeed strengthen that dynasty. But it is not absolute, and those small countries are not united, and they are easily divided and co-opted, and they can no longer be gathered. The struggle between the five dynasties was only to win over or appease those small states, and no one really treated them as a powerful force. Even if the Red Dynasty went on this expedition, it only deterred them with its strong strength, but it didn't think of gathering their strength to fight the enemy together. Anyway, after seeing that the wind is not in the right direction, those wall grasses will naturally find the right direction to cling to.
Those small countries are also accustomed to being ignored, just like this one-on-four war of the Red Dynasty, they were originally optimistic about the four major dynasties, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. If the Red Dynasty is content with the status quo, it will be fine, after all, with their strength, it is almost the same to defend themselves. The Red Dynasty has repeatedly defeated strong enemy invasions and has proven that they are particularly good at defending. The turtle shrunk its head, others still can't help it, if it takes the initiative to stretch out, that is the day it is served to the table. Even if the four major dynasties are all rookies, with the little strength of the Red Dynasty, it is estimated that it is a drop in the bucket, and it will be easily drowned in the sea of people.
But things often turn out unexpectedly, and the turtle's head not only sticks out, but also lightningly swallows up another giant object of equal magnum, which makes the others jaw-dropping. However, what they were most shocked was that except for the Bai Dynasty, which surrendered without a fight, the other three dynasties did not even resist, so they disarmed one after another and obediently sacrificed everything they had. It seems that the four dynasties have no power to fight back at all, like a papier-mâché tiger that can be broken with a light poke. But everyone knows that if the four major dynasties were really so easy to fight, those small countries would have completed the counterattack long ago, overthrowing the decaying dynasty and becoming one of the new five emperors.
In the end, they can only classify this strange thing as the deep hiding of the Red Dynasty, which is usually inconspicuous, and once they start it, it is so terrifying. It goes without saying that the soldiers and generals use their lives, and it is the strength of the immortal officials shown by the Red Dynasty that is truly impressive. Except for the most brilliant Zhang Daniu, the rest of the monks turned out to be quite good, and the number of monks far exceeded the limit that a dynasty could accommodate. With so many masters guarding the Quartet, even if the Red Dynasty hastily annexed the four major dynasties, covering hundreds of millions of miles, there is no need to worry that someone will incite rebellion. Originally, there were still people who bullied the Red Dynasty for being greedy and chewing too much, but who knew that the immortal officials from all over the town would follow, and anyone with bad intentions would be expelled, and they couldn't make the slightest wave.
It was only at this time that they realized that the Red Dynasty had been prepared decades ago and had recruited a large number of Demon Sect monks. After so many years of running-in, plus a better environment, I practiced diligently. Whether it is loyalty or strength, they have far surpassed the monks of the same generation. With them divided into four towns, ordinary monks don't want to make trouble at all. In addition, the civil officials who were replaced by the previous imperial court handled local government affairs, and the situation was still stable when the four major dynasties surrendered one after another. Of course, this is not unrelated to Zhang Daniu's proposal to appoint a large number of former officials, and with the help of those "traitors", they are very good at dealing with hidden dangers. After all, they were driven away, and those "traitors" will not have a good time, don't worry about them not careless.
And just when everyone thought that the Red Dynasty would be content with the status quo and concentrate on absorbing the powerful forces after the surrender of the four major dynasties and consolidating the existing territory, the Red Dynasty unexpectedly sent troops and began to sweep away those small countries that were either hostile or neutral. Those small countries have adopted a neutral or hostile attitude before, and that is because the situation is still unclear. Now that the situation is clearer than the clear water, they naturally have to come and stand in line with a shy face. In the face of their courtesy, the attitude of the Red Dynasty was lukewarm. After all, the Red Dynasty is the victorious side, and it is understandable to take a shelf. In addition, they were on the wrong side at the beginning, thinking that they would endure it a little bit, talk about surrender first, and then find a way to mend the relationship between the two sides.
Who knew that the Red Dynasty was perfunctory on the one hand, and on the other hand, the troops were divided into more than a dozen routes, and began to attack the cities and conquer those small countries that were unprepared. The strength of the two sides was not proportional to each other, and those small countries were small local princes to the Red Dynasty, and there was no big difference between attacking them and rebelling. Unlike wars between dynasties, there is no need to go all out to deal with those small countries, so it is natural to divide the troops into several ways and advance at the same time, striving to complete the great cause of unifying the central Taizhou in the fastest time. This is the ultimate dream that the rulers of all dynasties have been looking forward to, since as an emperor, who doesn't want to rule the world and guide the country like the three emperors?
What's more, this kind of opportunity is very rare, although there is no conclusive evidence that the Three Emperors interfered in the great cause of the unification of the human race, but it can be seen from all kinds of clues that there must be the shadow of the Three Emperors behind it. It was not easy to defeat the four dynasties directly under the Three Emperors, and if you don't take advantage of this great opportunity, you will sweep away the remaining small countries. When the Three Emperors have their hands freed, they may be able to pinch out a powerful opponent to oppose him and obstruct his great cause of unification.
